Envelopes Won't Print from Documents in Word 365 - Goes right to Envelope Options Dialog Box

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 12:15 PM PDT

Since the beginning of time, I have typed a letter, printed that letter, then just pushed the Envelope (and labels) button I customized to the top ribbon, and in early versions, it would automatically recognize the address and put it on the envelope. In 2010, I had to highlight the address, but it still worked. Now, it sometimes works like it should from a clean reboot the first time, but subsequent times, I get a different dialog box - Envelope Options - rather than the one with the address and return address. If I hit "Ok" it reformats the document as an envelope, which is not acceptable. This is not the problem others have with their printers running blank pages. This seems to be a functional problem within Word. I am running a brand new Lenova Yoga 2 Pro with not a lot of other software on it, so I doubt it is a conflict problem. Help! Thanks.

Readability Statistics Lost

Right-to-Left Language Texts Disappear in .pdf Conversion

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 11:45 AM PDT

My publisher requires me to submit my books in pdf. I prepare my books in Word 2013. The text is mostly in English, but there are a lot of quotations in Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and other right-to-left languages. When I convert to pdf, these texts disappear, except for one word (which seems to be the first word the conversion program encounters going left-to-right, so the program doesn't "see" the rest of the Hebrew or whatever quotations).

The above problem is with the ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A) switch checked. If I uncheck it, this problem goes away, but the entire book is thrown off such that pages don't match up - this renders my Table of Contents and Indices useless.

Yes, the fonts are TruType (the Hebrew font is standard Times New Roman, in fact), and yes, they are fully embedded. I've tried doing a test, using a file in Word consisting of a single paragraph in English with some Hebrew text within the paragraph - most of the Hebrew disappears, as noted above.

The problem is in Word. When Word (or anything else, because as noted I've tried other conversion programs) converts the Word files into .pdf, it keeps going left-to-right, so it takes the first word it finds in Aramaic (or Hebrew, etc.), and doesn't "see" the other words. If I convert the Aramaic phrase into right-to-left, that makes the ENTIRE PARAGRAPH right-to-left, even though most of the paragraph is in English; i.e., it is not fit for book printing. So I have to keep the Aramaic tagged as left-to-right or the English paragraph turns to hash. Again, as noted, this problem vanishes when I uncheck the PDF/A switch, but that creates a new problem, that the page lengths in the entire book get thrown off, rendering the Table of Contents and Indices totally useless.

I've called Adobe Customer Service, and talked on line with Adobe experts. The problem is with Word, not Adobe.

Can't see tables in the cross ref window or create ToT

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:55 AM PDT

I am working on an existing large document with several tables, figures, etc... After looking around the community at length I could not find an answer to my problems.

Problem 1: I am trying to cross reference to a table "EX: see Table D-20" so that the table reference is a hyperlink. When I try and put a cross reference in the cross reference table does not list a single table that is in my document (there are 77). I can see the other reference types (figures are all there). I also tried to recreate the table of tables (there is one already in the document) and the document would not regenerate a table of tables saying that "no table of figures entries found". So why is the document not seeing my tables at all?

Problem 2: The tables in the document are not in order and in the past they have been fields that update automatically but not in this case, not sure why. So the tables read 27,29,30, etc... I am not sure why none of my fields are updating but I suspect these problems are related somehow.

Fixes I have tried: I have manually updated ALL fields in the document via Ctrl+A and F9. I have ensured that track changes is off and any pending changes have been accepted. I have copied the document into a new file and tried to save that thinking the doc may have been corrupted and that didnt work. I

I have not tried inserting a bookmark to this point in the file but I do think it would work. However, that seems like a quick fix/loophole that doesnt address the real problems that I am having with this document.

Thanks for any help you can provide! 

making links in Word blue?

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:34 AM PDT

I copied text to a Word document that included lots of hyperlinks. The links were preserved fine, but word doesn't display them in hyperlink "style". That is, the links are underlined, but they're not blue. It's straightforward to change the style of an individual link, but there are several hundred in this document. I don't want to manually change the style for all of them. Is there any way to tell all the links to adopt hyperlink style? That is, Word knows they're links. They're underlined. I can click on them, and they link fine. But I want them to look blue!

Need help printing shipping labels

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:18 AM PDT

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to print shipping labels with word. It is just so ridiculously convoluted and confusing and counter intuitive. I do not need to do any mail merge or any other weird stuff. I simply want to type in an address and a return address and have it print on my labels. I have avery 5163 labels of 10 per sheet. I only want to print one or two labels and then be able to use the others later. Is this even possible or do I really have to waste 9 labels for every single one I print??

Varying document protection.

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 07:25 AM PDT

I am creating a form for a non-profit that will be completed by varying degrees of experienced people. I am attempting to lock portions of the document that do not need changing (typically). This is a co-parenting plan that is completed by volunteer mediators on site and the final product is printed out immediately and given to the parents. The editing of certain sections must be locked (to prevent accidental alterations) but also must be able to be talked through to unlock (on the phone) when needed. Many of these mediations happen when regular staff is not present and therefore cannot help.

I have various content controls for the inclusion of edited information. I use rich text control, plain text control, building blocks (with content control inside the blocks), drop down menus, date pickers, and repeating section content control.

Using "restrict editing" will not allow building blocks under the "filling in forms" option. It will not allow repeating content controls under the "read only" with exceptions.

Grouping does some of it but it is difficult to unlock an area that may need tweaking for a specific situation.

Is there a way to lock up a form yet allow the use of all of the content controls? Additionally, in the building blocks, there are sections that need locked while allowing edits to content control.

Typing lag with Word and Excel apps in IOS 7.1

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 06:52 AM PDT

Hello,

I have multiple users reporting issues with a typing lag when typing in documents mainly in the Word but also in Excel as well. All users have the ProPlus license and we are using OneDrive to access the documents on the devices, all users have updated the apps to the newest version (1.1.1). The issue occurs using both the on screen keyboard and an external keyboard, and the lag can easily be 15-20 seconds behind the user when typing. Please provide assistance or direction to resolve.

Thank you in advance!

Is there any property like "IsDirty" provided or a way to understand that the content inside a content control in word has been modified by the user.

The content can get updated either by the user directly modifying the content or due to a programmatic update of the content control to a related user action.

Adjusting units of measurement in Word for iPad

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 12:18 AM PDT

Hello there. I'm an Office user in the Philippines. I have installs on my laptops and on my mobile devices: one iPhone and two iPads. 

In images and adverts for Office for iPad, I've noticed that the default unit of measurement for Word is in inches. This is great, because I use imperial units for my documents.

However, when I usedin Office for iPad, I noticed straight away that the measurement units are set in centimeters. The Philippines is odd because while the distance between objects is measured using the metric system, the unit of measurement for height, length, and width is in imperial units. Changing the unit of measurement in Office for iPad therefore, has become quite important for me. 

I've tried to find a way to change the unit of measurement, to no avail. Help?

Multilevel lists

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:33 PM PDT

Just getting comfortable with Word 2013 but have run into Problems using multilevel lists.  I've tried researching on the internet and have gotten many answers but they haven't really worked.  I'm just trying to set up a very basic list but it's not working.  Here's what I'm trying to do:  Level 1 has a product name then I go to my tab set and set a 6.5" tab with a leader of dots.  So far so good.  then I got to level 2 and that's where the problems start  I'm breaking down the costs from level want and I wish to only tab out about 3.5" with again a leader line of dots but nothing happens.  The only way I seem to get this to work is to manually change the leader lines for every single level (an impossible task).  I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well but I hope one of you can probe through the murk and save me.  Thanks.

unable to check off "save form data as delimited text file" in MSWord 2010

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and provide a solution? Thank you.

Unwanted changes in text flow

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 05:45 PM PDT

It's bad enough that fields are displayed in-line, which makes it very difficult to track down indexing errors (the line and page layout is completely different with fields shown vs. not shown).

OK, that was a  horrible design error. What I don't get are 1) Why the text flow changes from Draft to Print mode (previously answered by one of you experts), and 2) Why the text flow changes when the header area vs. the text area is selected. Very annoying. I don't see why the text flow can't stay constant.

Another gripe is that when I go from selecting the header area vs. displaying the text area is that the display jumps several or many pages away. Is this "normal?" Is there a rational reason for this?

Surface Pro 2 Windows 8 Problem Opening a word file. e 2, Column 19287423"

 I had difficulty all through the preparation of this document, a large PDF file convertted to Word to allow annotation with the Inking tool.  It closed down many times even when I regularly saved it it still closed saying there was some problem or other. I finished annotating it and saved it but when I went to open it later it failed to open and I received this message:  Message:"Can't open doc. The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. Location: Part/word/document.xml, Line 2, Column 19287423" Meaningless to me.

Can you help.  I have alot of time invested in the annotations.

Excel 2007 problem

Posted: 24 May 2007 01:56 AM PDT

Bernard - many thanks for taking the time to reply. I actually found the
solution to my problem using Google which revealed the following web page.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1609140&SiteID=1
This described my problem exactly and the explanation provided there allowed
me to solve the problem immediately - which made me very happy (not having
to reinstall or get into anything beyond my technical capability!)

Also thanks for your link to the site showing how to locate the Excel 2007
equivalents to Excel 2003 commands. In general this is very helpful -
however, I still couldn't find one really useful command that is in Excel
2003 and earlier versions. In previous versions of Excel, a chart window
could be displayed using the "Chart Window" command on the View menu (this
command only appears in those earlier versions of Excel when you are
pointing at a chart). I now find (again through Google) that the
Microsoft developers in their infinite wisdom have removed this extremely
useful command (which I have used continuously for many years) without
mentioning this in the standard Excel 2007 info - or on the site that you
linked me to. It is very frustrating to buy the latest product and feel
that it has taken a very substantial backward step! The developers also
list other "Deprecated Features For Charting'" in a blog at
http://blogs.msdn.com/excel/archive/2006/08/28/724641.aspx and provide an
explanation of the technical reasons that have driven them to exclude the
command at

Richard,
office 2007, it looks like it is trying to install again.


and in responce to your problem with having 2003 installed also with 2007
- that you will get the configuration screen, with the windows installer if
you have more then one version of office, because it needs to reconfigure
between uses of the 2 (or more) versions.

Save as PDF or XPS not working in Office 2007

Posted: 21 May 2007 03:47 AM PDT

Thanks Gordon.
I am sure that the add in works for some (hopefully most!) users but it does
not work for me. I have tried installing it a couple of times and have also
redownloaded it twice to seewhether it might have been an error with my
download (no change in either event). The error message is less than helpful
(the operation failed because of an unexpected error) and what I guess I
really need is someone who knows what these errors might be caused by to
point me at things I might try to resolve the issue. I had thought it might
be something to do with Acrobat 8, which I have installed, but I have
deactivated th COM addin from Adobe (as it does not work with Office 2007
anyway) and that too hasnot made any difference. I do not really want to
uninstall Acrobat, and the save as PDF or XPS, the reinstall the save as pdf
or XPS just to see if this mightcure the issue...
Anyway, many thanks for your comments and suggestion. The issue, for me,
however, remains unresolved...
Best wishes, Boris.

AOL messages disable Word in Outlook

Posted: 17 May 2007 05:27 AM PDT

Milly:

Thanks for your suggestion; however, Word 2003 has been successfully
configured as my editor in Outlook 2003 for over a year without any other
issues except for the recent AOL issue as described in my first post.

None the less, I tried your suggestion of re-registering and, I’m sorry to
say, the problem still exists -- tested against three separate AOL messages
from three different individuals .

For now, I’ve simply moved on to Plan-B: not responding to any AOL messages
I receive that contain HTML encoding! That's my low-tech solution for
preventing Outlook from reverting to the built-in editor -- at least that's
what I'm doing until something better comes along.

Unable to install Outlook 2007 after Office 2007 Pro install

I stand corrected, .MSP file. However, it doesn't make any difference, when I
use the Office 2007 Customization program, the fact is I am unable to
successfully add Outlook 2007 to an existing installation of Office 2007.
When I first deployed Office 2007 and used the Customization program to
create a .MSP file, I went along with the default installation settings for
all Office 2007 components except Outlook which I had set to "Not Available"
because I wasn't ready to deploy that program yet.
Now when I attempt to install Outlook on a test machine that has the Office
2007 package installed (except Outlook 2007). I've tried even creating a new
..MSP file (or adjusting an existing one) using the Customization program
selecting "Run from my Computer" or "Run all from my Computer". However, when
I execute the modified .MSP file Outlook doesn't install. If I execute the
Setup program and select "Add/Remove programs" and click NEXT, there is still
a red X next to Outlook and the only choice is still "Not Available" despite
the settings in the .MSP file. According to the documentation on the MS
website, I am supposed to be able to use the Customization program to create
updated .MSP files to add/remove any office programs. The tool does appear to
work with all the other Office programs but not Outlook.

Word Display Issue

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:08 PM PDT

Hi there,

I have an issue with Microsoft Office 2010 where when you scroll through, it garbles the text/chops it up. It is only affecting the display. If I save as a PDF or print it, displays without issue. 

Tried the following:

- Changed zoom
- Changed font type
- Changed font padding/size/spacing
- Changed print in background
- Changed display settings for word
- Tried to run troubleshoot over drivers - failed
- Tried to add MS word as a custom app in Nvidia panel - failed

- Updated drivers

Nothing - still doing it. 

As a bandaid fix I have found that if I zoom out then back in, it displays normally again, but if I  scroll back up and down again through the file, it starts doing it. (Document isn't big, it's only 3 pages)

Screenshooting doesn't help - it displays normally. If it happens again, I'll try and snap a pic with my mobile. 

Any ideas?

"Something went wrong" and other errors in Office

I've had Word 2013 for around a year now, on my windows 7 computer, it's always worked fine.

I tried repairing it in Programs and Features on the Control Panel, and got an error message. I even tried reinstalling it from my office account, and got another error message. What can I do?

Copying items from the review pane in MS Word 2013

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 12:28 PM PDT

Have a 200 page document with comments, insertions and deletions.

Would like to create a separate file that has only those comments, insertions and deletions, (plus any other changes if possible).

I have tried <ctrl a> and <ctrl v> in the review pane, but it only takes the first item.

Read about an old work-around, where you click in the first comment balloon and use shift and down arrow to highlight all - but it only took the first few.

Have tried to print markup - but if the preview is reliable, it wants to print the entire 200 page document.

Did a search and found a macro someone suggested, which I tried - but when I went to go to the recommended place to fix the bug they predicted it might have, the place I needed to click was grayed out and unavailable.   Pasting the part I still have below. Microsoft made me log in and would not send me back to that message, so i cannot get to the full description - but was to go to the Tools, References section and references was grayed out. Macro below:

Sub GetAllComments()
     Dim sComments As String
     Dim cm As Word.Comment
     Dim cms As Word.Comments
     Dim dataObj As MSForms.DataObject
    
     Set cms = ActiveDocument.Comments
     sComments = "Comments in " & ActiveDocument.Name & ":" & vbCr
     For Each cm In cms
         sComments = sComments & cm.Range.Text & vbCr
     Next
     Set dataObj = New MSForms.DataObject
     dataObj.SetText sComments
     dataObj.PutInClipboard
     'Debug.Print sComments
 End Sub

 

it didn't have MS.Forms.Data Object - so I was supposed to enable that - but couldn't get to where to do that.

I do note that there has been a LOT of traffic requesting this on the web, though I have yet to find an answer that doesn't involve copying one by one, or page by page at best, or printing entire document.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Skipped page number

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 11:59 AM PDT

All the discussions I read under the heading "page numbers" seem to be about how to include or not include) the page number on the page as it appears in a Word document.  I am concerned about the actual page number - the one that appears in the bottom left hand corner of the Word screen "Page x of y".

In my document, page 8 is skipped - the numbering goes straight from page 7 to page 9.  This puts all the Left/Right page layout off kilter.  I want to track down the reason why a page number is missed, and then cure it.  Can anyone give me ideas to try?

In this docment, all the pages have headers and footers (simple title and display of page number).

  • page 4 is blank with a Page Break Section Break Next page
  • page 5 is full of text, right up to the end of the page
  • page 6 is blank with a Page Break Section Break Next page
  • page 7 has just a picture on it with a Section Break Next page
  • page 8 doesn't exist
  • page 9 (which should be page 8) has a table that flls the whole page

I recently purchased Office 365 Home, with the intent to create some word forms so I can easily fill things out on my ipad.  I have created one and for some reason all of the fields are text entry only and non of the combo boxes work.  Even after enforcing protection.  Am I missing something?  Or did I overlook the fine print that says Ipad Word does not support Word Combo Boxes?

Touch swipping/scrolling issues using Word 2007

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 10:07 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Word. Also made sure I had all updates and restarted the SP3, still no luck. I am using Word 2007 Office Home and Student. In a 189 page document, two-finger scrolling with the touchpad does not work, and scrolling by swiping the screen does not work. Swiping the screen results in automatically selecting text instead of scrolling.

After uninstalling and reinstalling Scrivener the two-finger scroll on the touchpad works in long documents , but scrolling by swiping the screen still automatically selects text instead of scrolling when the document gets too long.

At least Scrivener is bit more useable now, though. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Anthony

Help! Touch screen functions in Word 2010 suddenly stopped working.

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:31 AM PDT

Hi people who understand Windows, please help. I've been using touch-screen functions to select and edit text in Word 2010 documents for as long as I've had this computer. However, seemingly without cause and only while using Word, I can no longer select anything using my touch-screen. I can only zoom in and out.  I've spent hours trying to fix it, only to fuel more frustration. I imagine I somehow disabled "touch-screen mode" in Word and there is some simple, yet completely obscure, way to turn it back on. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.  

Problems opening any of my office 2013 programs

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 09:23 AM PDT

I have had Office 2013 for a while now and been using without fail. A couple of weeks ago I went to use Word  and it wouldn't open and said it had stopped working.  I tried to open the other applications and none of them would work either. They all gave me the same error message. I checked online and found a couple of suggestions that didn't seem to work. I then thought I was at the microsoft site but had hit the add button by mistake and ended up dealing with an online fix-it company that wanted $150 to solve the problem. Does anyone out there have any suggestions I really need my MS Word for work purposes and this is driving me crazy.

Word 2013 display zooms in after opening documents downloaded from the web (Window 8.1)

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:55 AM PDT

After I open documents downloaded from the web (e.g., email attachments), the entire interface zooms in as if the resolution has changed. That is, the ribbon and all menus enlarge. I have to restart Word to restore the normal view. What could be causing this issue?

Frustrated with calculating future date

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:55 AM PDT

I'm trying to find a calculation that will show 14 days in the future from the date the word document is opened, every time.  Currently I am using

{QUOTE

{SET Delay 14}

{SET a{=INT((14-{DATE\@M})/12)}}

{SET b{={DATE\@yyyy}+4800-a}}

{SET c{={DATE\@M}+12*a-3}}

{SET d{Date\@d}}

{SET jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}

{SET e{={INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}

{SET f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}

{SET g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}

{SET h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}

{SET i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}

{SET dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}

{SET mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}

{SET yy{=10*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}

"{dd}-{mm}-{yy}"\@" MM/dd/yyyy"}

The problem I'm running into is the date will only be accurate the first time the document is opened, but if I try to run it the next day the date does not update.

Copied Items are Pasted Twice

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:35 AM PDT

I have a new DELL XP15 Laptop with Windows 8.1 and Office 2010.

When I copy a section of text and select paste, the text is pasted twice. For example if I copy "alphabet" it will appear as "alphabet alphabet" when pasted.

I am copying from and to the same document. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I copy/paste using the mouse or a keyboard shortcut.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Thanks

Rounding Percentages

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:23 AM PDT

I have Percentages that range from Whole Numbers to four digits after the decimal. What I need to do is find a rounding that if the calculation shows as 5.9630 rounds to 5.963%, if it is 6.2500 round to 6.25%, if it is 3.5000 round to 3.5%, 5.0000 rounds to 5%.

Word Document displays in 2 columns

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 08:14 AM PDT

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows 7 OS machine.  Often, when I receive a word document, it is displayed in 2 columns (I have the Zoom set to 100%).

Is there a setting that will always display the document in 1 column?

Thanks ahead of time...

Accessible Office Documents

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 07:28 AM PDT

I work for a government agency which has hundreds of forms created in Word, PowerPoint and Excel. There is a federal law requiring all documents to be made accessible so a person using a screen reader (such as JAWS) can read the documents. Making our documents accessible is a nightmare process.

I heard somewhere that Microsoft is working on a project which will automatically make documents accessible when they are created. If true, this would be a godsend.

Has anyone else heard that rumor?  If so, where could I get more information?

Thanks

Word to PDF - Letters that looks fine in Word get chopped off once PDFed

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 03:59 AM PDT

I have a number of Word documents that are formatted just right and the text looks perfectly fine. When I PDF the document, any letter that dips below the main line of text (p, g, y, etc.) gets cut off. This happens when I create the PDF via Adobe, CutePDF Writer, and saving as PDF from Word.

My text is set to single spacing, and everything is pretty standard as far as other settings. How can I get my PDF to match my Word document?

Getting Word 2013 to find a full word, not part of a word.

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 01:59 AM PDT

I am trying to get Word 2013 to find the word "dust"—just "dust" by itself—in a document and skipping incidences of it in the words "industry," "industrial" and "industrialization." However, I can't identify a wildcard or the like that does the trick. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Word automatic conditional formatting

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 09:53 PM PDT

I'm looking for a way for certain words to show up highlighted in red whenever they are entered on a word document. The reason for this is I work for a electric company that has several different regulated and non-regulated entities. There are reports that get sent every morning to these entities and they are not allowed to view each other's information. If the person writing and sending the reports puts information on the wrong report it can be a very big regulatory violation and subsequent fines can occur. It would be if a set of words shows up on report A when they should only be on report B then show red to prevent any human error

Predefined headers in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 08:14 PM PDT

I am having a problem getting to the predefined headers in Word 2013.  When I click Insert/Headers, I get a drop down menu with 4 items, the last, 'Save selection to header gallery...' is grayed out.  When I click on the first item, 'More headers from office .com', I get 2, Element and Insight.  I am taking a course in Word at the moment and it is my understanding that there are several more headers (and footers). Any help would be appreciated.  I have the feeling that this is not the 'tiger in the tank, but the **** behind the wheel'.

Surface 2 Word version doesn't have complete auto-correct??

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:53 PM PDT

I have been tying essay after essay on this handy tablet; but I have realized one important factor to my success is having the correct spelling on these papers. Not only does my Word seem to block out the selection for auto-correct buttons but when I send documents to other computers those receiving computers think the spelling is correct as well (and the spelling is most defiantly not). So I now ask, is there any way I can fix this?? Or  is there anyway Microsoft can add full versions of auto-correction?? Please help :)

Microsoft Word 2013 cannot save files.

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 05:49 PM PDT

Whenever I try to save a file in Word 2013, the box that you use to choose the location does not pop up. I can open files perfectly fine, the problem is just with saving. Before, the problem was still persisting, but when I opened the program, a box popped up that said "cannot create the work file check the temp environment". I looked it up, followed this tutorial and now it opens with no pop up, but I still can't save. I used to have Word 2007 and the same problem was happening to that one. 

Thanks for your help! 

EDIT: Just realized; the message "word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable." pops up when I open a file. Again, I already followed instructions for this error message that should have fixed it.

EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that I also tried to follow Method 1 from this tutorial, but I could not see the Temporary Internet Files folder and when I went to <Drive:>\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files to try and create it, it said it already existed. I overwrote it and it still did not appear.
