| How to change text orientation in an existing Word 2010 table on Windows 8.1 computer? Posted: 21 Aug 2014 02:17 PM PDT I have an existing table in Word 2010 in which I need to change the text orientation within the cells. (I need to drop the text down to be in the lower section of the table's cells). I have been using Windows 8.1 for almost 2 years and I'm still struggling. (Struggling with Windows 8.1 and the Windows 8.1 "support" sites - which I have never, ever found what I needed!) I've searched Microsoft Windows 8.1 Support, but apparently my issue is too light-weight for them. (The responses I get don't even remotely relate to my question - but I get a list of technical references that also have nothing to do with my question either!) If I go to Word 2010 support, I get directions to use the "Format" tab. But, as we know, Microsoft 8.1- in its infinite wisdom - has done away with the "Format" tab and I can't find the equivalent commands hidden behind any of the pretty pictures Microsoft 8.1 developers have seen fit to impose upon us. Please, excuse my negativity! I should have asked this question before becoming so frustrated! |

| Microsoft Office 365 Home will not launch, re-install or uninstall (with the tool) Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:47 AM PDT This is not so much a question as it is a "Hope you don't have to gather all of this information yourself" type of post. This problem started with not one Office application launching. So, I tried the following, none of which worked:
Method 1
Method 2
Believe it or not … this did not work either. So, I called Microsoft (As a sidebar: Good luck finding that telephone number. I'd post it here but the moderators would remove it immediately so what's the point in that. But, to give you a clue … if you ever want to get Microsoft's attention … discuss your problem with the presales/billing department … you'll get routed in the correct direction … double quick) and spent the next 3 hours watching the first level tech perform all of the previous steps again. Then, came the real surprise, no matter which account we attempted to use … all of them with Administrator privileges, we could not delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common\Office node. This is where the poor man gave up and pushed me to level two … to be received in 24 hours or less. I couldn't wait that long. So, another quick Google (well Bing since this is an MS Forum) … yielded a tool from SysInternals called PsExec v2.11 which is available from Microsoft here. The magical command is as follows:
psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
After deleting this registry key (as well as all of the previous steps included … I could then use the Microsoft FixIt Office Uninstall utility … which completed … with the most beautiful dialog I've seen in a long time … something like Microsoft Office 1-Click Installed successfully (or something like that). Finally, after eight hours of trial and error and tech support calls … I could re-install Office 365 Home and get back to programming some .NET. |
| Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:21 AM PDT Let's try this again...still looking for a solution to my mysterious blue rectangles that are appearing on my printed Word document. First of all, I am running Windows Vista and 2007 Office. These blue rectanlges DO NOT appear on my screen...but they sure are appearing on the paper. Right down the center of the document two and three rectangles. I tried asking this question yesterday and got one response with no answer. I had previously posted on another thread which was older and was told to post my question....so I did. She said there are technicians who will help or at least try to. My printer is new...ink is full...room mate prints with it and doesnt have a problem. That's what makes me think it is something in my document somewhere. My margins are set to 1" all around, 8 1/2x11 paper, and portrait. All of this is set the same in Word and printer. Also, there are no funny symbols showing up when I do show/hide...just "h"s on every line. I am assuming that shows where i have hit enter. As I said before, I welcome any help with this. We are talking about an over 300 page document that I absolutely refuse to do over plus who's to say the rectangles dont show up again. |
| File size variations in Word 2010 Posted: 21 Aug 2014 10:17 AM PDT I am working with a 3-page Word file that has 3 graphics in it. It's 1.9 Mb with graphics and 1.7 Mb without graphics, so the graphics are not causing a significant file size difference. The document is based on a customized template. If I paste the text into a document with a Normal template, the size of the file without graphics goes from 1.7 Mb down to 20 Kb. Since the only difference is the customized template, is this what is making the file size larger that I would expect? Is there any way to use the customized template and reduce the file size of the Word document? Thanks, Susan |
| Repeatedly missing headings in word 2013 Posted: 21 Aug 2014 09:20 AM PDT Whenever I use any heading style in my word 2013, it gets missing after I close that particular word file. It is getting very annoying to press ctrl+shift+S every time I re-open that world file (since I am writing up my dissertation) and re-enter all the missing headings I used before. Is there any other way to permanently keep these headings? |
| Word: Restrict table styles but free cell justification Posted: 21 Aug 2014 08:03 AM PDT My teams need to chose when a column (Cell) is right, left or mid justified, but I need to establish some table style limitations. Have made my own table styles, but I find whether my own or a built in table, all cells seem to be fix justified and the restricted ribbon commands are not available for override. Anyway round this? Its a deal breaker at the moment: text left and mid cell used, digits to right. 50% of reports are tables that can't remain linked. I am in 2010 docx (some in the team have 2013). No sway with IT, and low user skills, so this has to be a macro-free docx solution rather than a dotx. |
| How may I convert old Q&A files so can read/print in WORD? Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:39 AM PDT In my old computer have the old Q&A word processing program. Have been able to transfer them to my current computer. The files will open in WORDPAD, however their original format is lost. How may I convert these Q&A word processing documents into WORD 2003, OR any readable format? All assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. |
| 2013 office professional pro version using Windows 7.0 - re: signature lines Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:16 AM PDT I went to the help area and it said to do this: Click on Insert, click on arrow next to signature line, click add signature services. Well, there is nothing there that saying anything like that. So how do I make a line above the word Signature: Date: and make it stay so that people can sign and date the documents? |
| Word got crashed before saving. Posted: 21 Aug 2014 07:05 AM PDT Hi, after saving a document in word, it has crashed. And I can't open it again. A few days it was ok. But now my Word has gone mad. Please tell me how to make it open again. (Office 2010, win 7) Thanks. |
| Word 2013 crashes when saving a file to desktop Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:42 AM PDT About a week ago, Word 2013 stopped working for me. Whenever I create a new document, after I click save for the first time and choose the document name and save location (local), if I dare save the same document again, word becomes unresponsive and hangs. After force-closing and restarting the program, a message appears saying that the "current document could not be found" and then that the same document could not be opened. When checking the folder where I saved the document, two strange files (lock files?) appear. IF I close the document and exit word after each time I click on "save, and open it again, the bug doesn't occur. I've attached screenshots of the series of events. Steps I have taken to try and solve the issue:
Additional information:
Thank you for your help and time. I greatly appreciate it. Please tell me if I could provide more information that could help pinpoint the problem. |
| Diffferent Margins for Different Pages, Word Doc, Word 2007 Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:28 AM PDT Dear Community, I need to create a longer Word Doc -- with the the first 5-6 pages having sides Margins of 1.8 each. Then -- I need the next 5-7 pages to have side Margins of 1 and .7. Then -- I need the last 5-6 pages of 1.8 each. I'd also like to change the Top and Bottom Margins for different pages in the same Doc. Why? I write direct mail, and must deliver a single copy deck -- for a series of mailings -- all with different dimensions. Right now, I change the margins to write -- to make sure my Copy fits. But when I deliver -- I go back to standard margins. This makes all my perfectly constructed copy look sloppy. Breaks from one page to the next don't look right, etc. I would like to deliver a Doc that is more WYSIWYG -- What You See Is What You Get. For any advice, I would be forever in your debt. All the best, Mike Castaway Rhode Island... |
| Unable to use any Office 2013 applications Posted: 21 Aug 2014 06:11 AM PDT I just installed Microsoft Office 2013 and after several installs, uninstalls and finally getting it activated properly none of the programs allow me to scroll or even type. On Microsoft Word I can't type in anything, nor scroll through previous documents I already had. The same applies to PowerPoint as well as Excel, as they are the other programs I have tried! If anyone could help me that would be great! [Original title: Microsoft Office 2013 Problems!] |

| How to edit deletion in restrict editing mode? Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:08 AM PDT I searched through 4-5 pages using the prompt "restrict editing" and some appropriate fillers, but could not find an answer. Please help! I have a document where editing has been restricted. I have deleted some text, denoted by it becoming red and having a strike-through. However I cannot restore the text by deleting part or all of the deletion. I tried simply using the delete key and also toying around with the reviewing pane. The fact that I can delete an insertion makes me think there must be a way to delete a deletion. Thank you! |
| Word 2010 slow to open documents imported from another computer Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:08 AM PDT Word 2010 takes a really long time (2-5 min) to open some documents. The problem seems to mainly occur with documents created on another computer. For instance if I bring files from work (created in 2007 on a network location). It doesn't matter if I email them to my home computer or transfer them on a USB. Once they are on the home computer I would expect them to become local documents. But the following happens: when I try to open documents, the Word 2010 splash screen opens and says "Contacting: \\NETWORK\Network\xxxx\xxxx". This then changes to "Contacting: \\NETWORK" (NETWORK being the work location). So Word is trying to locate the directory where the file was created. Why is it doing this and is there a way to stop this happening? As I mentioned above, the file is now stored locally on the computer. Why doesn't it recognise this and open documents in a few seconds like it does with documents produced locally. I thought the problem might be a click-to-run installation. So I uninstalled this and reinstalled Office with the full installer. Problem still happening. |
| Header on the second page of the document is not fine Posted: 21 Aug 2014 05:03 AM PDT I have a document which has been created using an add-in, which updates the custom properties in the header. After updating the document when I traverse to the second page by pressing enter the header on the second page gets created but the text on the header becomes uneven after the first space. |
| Posted: 21 Aug 2014 04:58 AM PDT Hi I have made document in word 10 in which I have defined a multilevel list. All that works fine. Now, I want to add an Introduction section right after the TOC, before Chapter 1 starts. How can I do so, but still have the "Introduction" appear in the TOC? |
| Digitally Signing a protected Word document. Posted: 21 Aug 2014 04:58 AM PDT I have created a document with fillable forms. I need to retrict the editing to only these forms and not the rest of the document text. I also have a signature line that needs to be digitally signed by the one filling out the form. However, when I start enforcing protection, the abilitiy to digitally sign the document goes away. I have tried inserting section breaks and restricitng editing in all sections except for the section with the signature line, but it did not work. Any suggestions? Thank you. |
| Posted: 21 Aug 2014 04:44 AM PDT HELP!! I am trying to find the format tab in MS Word (365) because I want to turn on my auto indent so that the first line of a paragraph indents! I have searched for most of the night looking for a way. I've gone through a couple dozen pages off the net and can find no way to do it? Everytime I start a new paragraph, I have to hit the tab button...there HAS to be a way, right? Is there a way to just click on something and perform an easy task?? Please help me, thanks! Woody |

| Text orientation when printing on an envelope Posted: 21 Aug 2014 01:20 AM PDT Hi I want to know how to get the text orientation right when printing on a DL-sized envelope in portrait. I set the document and texts in portrait but the output was still off. It looked fine in print preview but I couldn't get the output right. Say if I want to put the address in the centre of the envelope, it looks fine in landscape. But when I tried to print it out in portrait, some of the texts went missing and out of place. In other words, the texts went to the top of the envelope as they were in landscape position. Though landscape works great, I want to make it portrait cos I don't want the envelope to get jammed every time. It'll save me a lot of hassle if this problem gets sorted out. Thanks in advance! |
| How to give the user an option of pages of inserts or a single references to a website Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:43 PM PDT I'm creating a very large form on Word 2013 (Window 7). It is a syllabus to be used for our faculty. I'm stumped on several items. I'm hoping that someone can answer these. (I'm a lay-person who isn't saavy with macros and coding.) 1) I want to give the faculty member the choice of either inserting a reference to a website OR the pages and pages of dialogue, re: University rules. I was thinking that I may be able to use a checkbox except that the 2nd choice is the hundreds of words. Any ideas? 2) I also want to give the faculty the ability to add additional rows in the same format as the preceding rows. I want to restrict editing to filling forms because we want the syllabi to look uniform throughout the school. How do I restrict editing AND permit the addition of rows. In this case, faculty will add rows to a table with the dates of the class, the topic to be covered and the reading. Some professors may only want 10 lines. Others may want dozens, depending upon how specific they wish to be in detailing the daily topics of the course. Is there a way to do that? 3) Finally, I'm having trouble setting the font so that the form instructions are always in blue yet when the content is entered, the content is black. It also seems that the form keeps switching to Times New Roman instead of Calibri (my preferred font). Thank you in advance for your help. |
| Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:34 PM PDT Dear Microsoft. Can we just have the ability to open and save files in Word for iPad internally from dropbox? I am not going to jump though hoops to open and save files. I am not going to pay another company to sync my cloud services. I am not going to switch over to One Drive. I just need this one feature and my $99 a year subscription is yours. Is anyone else else with me? |
| Open File After Publishing to PDF opens file from Cloud in Webapp rather than default PDF app Posted: 20 Aug 2014 07:54 PM PDT I run Windows 7 and have the OneDrive app installed so I have a local copy of my OneDrive files. If I open a Word document from my local OneDrive folder and then Export it to PDF, with the "Open File after Publishing" box checked, I'd expect a PDF file to be created in my local OneDrive folder (and updated to the Cloud), and then I'd expect the PDF document to be opened in the default .pdf app. Instead, the document is opened from the Cloud in a browser, in a Word Online page. It is not the Word Webapp, because I can't select and edit things, but the menu bar contains buttons to Edit in Word or Download as an Acrobat file. Is there any way to get back to the functionality of Office 2010, where using Save & Send to PDF/XPS would open the resulting document in Acrobat, and from the local folder? |

| Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:08 PM PDT I am working on some templates and I want to be able to have the same template for every location. I know this is possible but I don't know how to set it up. I want to have a template - such as a letter or memo that can be opened up and have the office address automatically populate. I've seen this and used it before. I worked for a place that had their templates in a centralized location and then when you opened it up, it asked you for your office location. Then it would open with the correct address fields and phone numbers filled in. Is that done in word or through another programming software? Thanks for your help! |
