Word 2013 & 2010 Calibri (&others) font issue

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 01:20 PM PDT

I have a technical issue with Word 2013. Recently my employer upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013, which produced a side effect that I have since been unable to use the full range of symbols (phonetic etc.) in documents. The symbols display correctly if I open a document created with other versions of Word, but a large portion of symbols have disappeared from the Word 2013 version we have in work after the upgrade. I have been unable to find anything in Options or other menus that might help.

At home, I use Office 2010. All symbol ranges (IPA extensions, Thai etc.) can be used with 'Insert Symbol' function and all requisite symbols are there in the same Calibri font. I could use other fonts to get the needed symbols, but I'd very much to prefer to use Calibri.

Help Me Someone please im in desperate need!!

How do I make a pic look like a magazine cover with Word?

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Hey, Guys

I would like to take a photograph and and insert it into a word document, then blow it up to make it look like a magazine cover. When I drag the corners, the picture became grossly distorted. I'm thinking that the  margins may be the problem, or something else. Got any ideas? Is there a way to enlarge the pic without losing the quality? I'd like the pic to be the same size as a standard 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper.

Much appreciated.

List Style Font Size

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I'm creating a list style for my class notes I'd like it to do the following

Level 1: Font size 12

Level 2: Font size 10

Level 3: Font size 8

I'm able to make the number decrease in size automatically, but the content of each level stays at size 12. If I manually change the font size in the document, the font for the entire document changes.

Is there a way to have different font sizes per level in a list or does the content all need to be the same size?

Old Versions of Word

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:42 AM PDT

I've come across a lot of Users who still cling to old versions of Word. I paid about 300 bucks for Office 95, and still use it with XP and have 95 Word on both Win 7 pcs. The Office other parts, Excel, etc. I wouldn't load in Win 7, as they don't work properly [my newer pc got Display problems with Office on the Desktop] and there are plenty of compatible freeware office suites.

I received a basic Office 2003 disk with an earlier, 32-bit Win 7 HP pc, and got the ready-installed Word 2010 with newer machines. I don't like being nagged at to buy or Upgrade, so I keep these newer progs in case I want to improve a 95 document with the increased font colours, etc.

There some important features missing when we Install this old Word version: Help, which installing Windows6.1-KB917607-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB917607-x64.msu on Win 7 will facilitate, and PF7 generated Spell/Thesaurus.

Now, I don't know if anyone knows a better way to do this: but I looked for the file 95 said was missing when PF7 was pressed, mssp32.dll. I didn't have a clue where it would be in Win XP, so went searching. It was in C:\Program Files\Common Files|Microsoft Shared\Proof.

Win 7's PROOF seemed to have the same files, same size, different dates, but, maybe, they weren't going to work with 95. I copied them in, allowing 7 to Rename them (2).

So, it's all working now. Well, at least I'm still using MICROSOFT products in the main.

Table of Contents with Track Changes

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 07:42 AM PDT

I am creating a series of long documents (most are in the 500+ pages range). I use the track changes function to keep track of edits that I make in the documents as changes are published in the original source material. Each document has a Table of Contents.

Here's the problem: When I make a change that requires updating the TOC, track changes records it as an insertion of an entirely new TOC and deletion of the old version. It takes long enough to generate the TOC in the first place. Having to accept the insertion and deletion takes that much longer.

Is there a way to use Track Changes without picking up changes in the TOC? If I turned it off before I generate the updated TOC, would I lose the markup on other changes that I made?

How can a Word document attached to en email have a modification date later then the send date? (Court case)

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Hello, I'm involved in a court case, in which a Word document is used as evidence. I have to figure out if this is the real, original document , or a modified version. The problem:

an email is send 10th of February 2012 , and received in the inbox of MS Outlook 2007 (Office 2007). Attached to this email is a Word document (docx) , that is supposed to be created the 2nd of January.

When I open the attached document, Word (2007) opens. I now go to "Top left button-> Prepare ->   Properties". In the window that comes up I click on "Document properties->Advanced properties". A window opens that shows:

Created : 2 January 2012 . (Which seems correct)

Modified: 28 June 2012. ?????

Accessed 13 September 2014. Which is correct. (The date that I'm writing this).

Notice that I have'nt  detached and saved this document to the computer.

Question: How can the Modification date be AFTER the date that the mail was send ? If I had saved the document and opened it, and modified it, it would have been an OTHER document and the attachement would still keep the same Created/Modified dates. No??

I don't think that the person is question is capable of modifying the mail message on the server or on my local outlook file (PST, maintained by MS exchange). If he had the capability of doing that, I think a possible explanation COULD be that someone modified the document on 28 June 2012, and reinjected it into my email folder to make it look as if it was delivered February 10. I don't think they are capable of that.

So any other explanation?

Thank you

'No Bullets or Numbering' on linked styles after importing styles using organiser

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 02:30 AM PDT

I am attempting up update the look and Feel of documents created with an earlier version of template.  Both the old and the new templates contain multilevel  numbered list linked styles and both work fine on their own.

When importing the styles from the new template in an attempt to update existing documents Look and Feel, using organiser, the linked styles have no numbering.  When looking at the linked style definition after import, 'No Bullets and Numbering' is evident. I can find no reason this might be happening.  It is as if the import is causing a problem. (Although it might be something I have done).

Both templates use the same style names and I don't know how to reset the 'No Bullets or numbering' setting on the imported styles without 'reverting to the parent (heading) styles (Heading 1 though Heading 9) ie deleting the styles and recreating them manually on each document to be updated.

Is there a way to tell Word 2010 to remove the 'No Bullets or Numbering' setting in the imported linked style ie to 'inherit' Bullets and numbering from the 'based on' parent styles' .  The numbering used is complex and requires multilevel linked styles.

Help with Resume template

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:59 PM PDT

This is probably a really stupid question. I'm helping a friend do a resume and a template saves time. I'm using Word 2010. In the template it says to add another experience, education, etc entry click the sample entries and click the plus sign that appears. I'm not seeing a plus sign. Am I over looking it or what? 

Please help me get my document back! Or learn from my mistake!

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 03:58 PM PDT

I bought a subscription to Office365.  I spent twelve hours yesterday working on a document that has to be filed Monday.  Let's call it "Brief." As always, I saved my document every fifteen minutes or so to my "OneDrive" folder.    

At the end of the day, after I went home, I started getting emails and texts from something claiming to Microsoft.  The emails told me someone had been trying to access my account.  I figured this was spam and ignored it.  

This morning, I opened "Brief" to finish it up and I got a message saying I was locked out of Office 365 because someone had tried to access my account.  I had to enter a code that eventually I persuaded Microsoft to send to my email address.  When I entered the code, I was told I have to change my password before I can open my document.  So I did.  I did all of this on Microsoft's website, so I assume this was legit.  

Once I had entered the code and changed my password, I went to open "Brief" again.  

A menu appeared asking whether I wanted to open the "desktop version" or the "server version" of my document.  

The menu had frozen everything else, so I couldn't do anything until I made a choice.  I couldn't see the document.  I couldn't see the document information.  The menu didn't tell me which was the more recent version -- the "desktop" version or the "server" version.  The menu wouldn't let me navigate around to let me see which version was the later version.  I was still locked out.  Nor did the menu give me a choice to save both versions.  In fact, the menu didn't tell me it was going to overwrite anything at all.  It just asked me which version I wanted to open.  

So I flipped a coin and chose "server version."  

Here is where the inconvenience became a nightmare.  

I lost all my work.  

Apparently the "server" version had never been synced with the "desktop" version.  I'm guessing Microsoft turned off the "sync" between my desktop OneDrive folder and the cloud some time ago without telling me, and the "desktop" version was the one I had been working on all day in happy ignorance.  

Also, apparently when I chose to open the "server" version, it immediately over-wrote the "desktop" version -- again, without warning me.  

So all my work from yesterday is now gone.  

Now, the only version available of my "Brief" is the old version, before all the work I did yesterday.  That's all that's available either on the desktop or on the cloud "OneDrive" server.  

I called Microsoft support and their tech told me I hadn't saved my document properly and there's nothing I can do to get it back.   

Can somebody please tell me how to get my work back?  

If not, please, everyone in the whole wide world, learn from my mistake.  

Please, for the love of God:  Do not use Office365.  It will take your documents into its own domain, lock you out on a whim, delete your hard work, and finally laugh at you when you beg them to take pity on you.  

(Is my nightmare as horrible as being held hostage by ISIS?  No, of course not.  But then, I'm not asking anyone to deploy hellfire missiles against Microsoft.  I have some sense of proportion.  I'm just begging someone to take heed and fix this problem).

Error in computed schedule

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 08:04 AM PDT

Mike,

Yes, I levelled the project. There's no resource overallocation. The
result is a schedule that has a gap of about 3 weeks between a task and it's
successor and the only resource assigned is unused for the same period.

The place where I recall seeing this problem the most is where I have a
predecessor/successor relationship between a task and a summary task. This
is allowed isn't it? When I remove the link to the summary task and enter it
as a link between non-summary tasks, I have been able to get rid of the gaps.

URGENT: How can I get the "summary progress" field value

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 07:38 AM PDT

It is not clear how you expect this to work.
Summary tasks are probably less linear than individual tasks so the result
of this sort of calculation is likely to be inaccurate.
Why not just keep the tasks up to date and monitor the variation in the
finish date of the summary task.

Recalculate Baseline, Earned value fields after resource cost chan

Hi Raj,

As a follow on to John's ideas, if you don't have an original copy, I think
I would copy the project, work on that by selecting all tasks and making
them all 0% complete. Apply the new cost data, then baseline - you can then
copy this Baseline cost directly into your live project as John suggested.

I repeat the statement that baseline fields are static - a snapshot in

was re-baselined to reflect the change, the change would NOT be captured

baseline values are not rolled up - sometimes users forget.

Where can I buy software JUST ONLY for Word for Windows ?

Posted: 12 Sep 2005 09:46 AM PDT

> The emachines (brand new!) I bought has a word program from Hades. I need 

If the $400 price tag for office seems too high I might suggest that you try
Open Office instead. The current version handles Word files pretty well, the
testing/beta version handles them very well indeed. It has a built in export
to PDF anyway which is a considerably better format to distribute files in
than .doc as, I am sure you have noticed this, not everyone has MS Word ;)

The URL is www.openoffice.org and it's free so you lose nothing by giving it
a go.

Fixed Duration tasks being changed by Project

Posted: 11 Sep 2005 11:14 PM PDT

Hi Rod

I tried saving immediately on open and also saving as a mpd and reopening
and saving back to a new name.
Didn't make any difference.
I then copied/pasted to a blank schedule.
This appeared to work inirtially.
But no.
The unexpected result is, example: seeing work of 0.5days with the resource
listed as 100% allocated for a 1 day duration task.!!
The strange thing is thet the error messsage states that "the resource is
assigned outside the original dates for task #/name..... The duration of the
fixed-duration task will change to accomodate the resource requirement."
The schedule has been baselined, but why should it worry about resource
allocations? Why doesn't it observe that I want to control the duration, and
alter work or units as you would normally expect.
I fully understand W= D*U
There are no constraints on tasks, all are asap.
I have tried saving immediately on open and also saving as a mpd and
reopening and saving back to a new name.I have also copied/pasted to a blank
schedule.

Still have this problem.
Appreciate your interest.

Hi Katherine,

You are correct, when using a resource pool file, the maximum units are
defined in the pool, not per project. You can take the suggestion I made
earlier, with filters and manually input the new rate per project as you
replace the resource. Unfortunately, it will need to be repeated for each
project with the new allocation.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Work hours and Duration don't add up correctly

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 08:58 AM PDT

Duration is not the sum of work hours.
The summary task should show the total of the sub task WORK as long as the
summary task does not have any resources assigned to it. If it does then it
will be higher.
Duration of the summary task is calculated as the difference between the
start of the earliest sub task and the finish of the latest sub task. If the
two sub tasks are parallel and are one day each then the summary task will
have a duration of a day. If they are sequential then the summary task will
have a duration of two days. If there is a gap between them then the summary
task will be even longer than the sum of the two sub task durations.

Remaining Work Being Added Back

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 08:51 AM PDT

I agree with your comment about who should be reducing the Remaining Work. I
used the role admin too loosely in this case. I am also the project manager
(and the admin and the resource manager and the......).

I suspect I am causing the problem based on your explanation. Most of my
activities have multiple resources on them. For a variety of reasons, I
sometimes increase the duration of activities (in Project Pro) by simply
adding days to the duration of the activity (as opposed to having resources
increase remaining work to allow Project to calculate automatically). Its
just a convenience issue to have the file statused correctly. Do you suspect
this is the problem too.

Appreciate your assistance.

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.

None of the suggestions in kb292069 are working for me. I am using Word 2013, and I haven't been able to make readability statistics show up at all.

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!

Content Control IsDirty

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 06:04 AM PDT

Hi,

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.

When I open Word (or Excel) in Desktop 365, it shows my user name at the top right. However, there is an exclamation mark next to it which says, "ACCOUNT ERROR, Sorry, we can't get to your account right now. To fix this, please sign in again."

If I try to sign in again, the sign-in box appears and disappears rapidly. When I open my profile online, it shows my avatar but this does not appear in Word/Excel, it just shows the blank icon.

I actually purchased the Russian Language Pack in 2010 and even have the original receipt with the order confirmation number. The file, however, was lost (alas!) but I need it to reinstall MS Office on my new laptop. How can I have access to the file? I want to use the official MS sources and not to go to torrents, if possible.

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

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 06:34 PM PDT

I have created a form in Word 2010 using only Legacy controls and have saved the form as a template (.dotx). When I go to check off the "save form data as delimited text file" under Options/Advanced/Preserve fidelity when sharing this document, this selection is in grey and does not allow me to select it. 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"

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:40 AM PDT

 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.
