| How do I print correct order for the second side, manual load page printing? Posted: 23 Sep 2014 03:16 PM PDT I have a 17 page newsletter, which when printed, using the Manual Load for the other side, works correctly on the ODD pages. The stack comes out in reverse order, such that page 1 is on the top of the stack, as expected. The program then says to reload the stack to print the other side. I put the stack in, expecting the final result to be that the pages will be ordered such pag 2 is on the other side of page 1, and so forth. However, what happens is the program prints the wrong sequence, such that page 18 is on the other side of page 1, and so forth down to page 2 on the reverse side of page 17. While researching these archives for an answer, one of the MVPs suggested to someone else to enable the "Reverse Pages" command, which if capable, would solve the problem. However, when the command is issued to insert the stack, there is no option to reverse the pages, that I could find. Is there a setting that I overlooked that would enable the stack to be ordered correctly? Normally, with a dumb program I would do a first pass to print "Odd, Forward" and the second pass as "Even, Reverse". To be fair, I am new to this program, but I worked with other word processors over the years, but unfortunately, none of them match up to the need of this project newsletter. ADVthanksANCE Robert |

| Fill In The Blank Document Templates? How do I do this? Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:40 AM PDT I think this is probably basic, but I can't figure out where to start. I often create the same documents over and over, just changing the names. Letters are an obvious example. I would like to create a template property formatted for business letters. I'd like it to open a new letter with the proper margins and have my letterhead at the top. I'd like the cursor to start where the date goes and to have a fill-in option to either add the date code or manually enter the date. Then I'd like to hit tab and have the cursor go to the "BY" line, with a fill-in for "United States Mail," Federal Express," etc. Then I'd like to hit tab and have the cursor go to the addressee. Type in the person, hit tab, type in the address, tab, city, tab, etc. continue to the area for the body, and then have the signature block at the end. I thought this would be a form. But if it is, I can't figure it out. I've done many google searches, but I'm finding either "mail merge" letters or simple letterhead templates (without the fill in form placeholders). Can someone point me in the right direction? (The annoying this is that 20 years ago I could set this up in Word Perfect in about 5 minutes.) |
| I can't Find My Templates Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:03 AM PDT I'm pretty sure I need to click a setting somewhere. When I "Save As" for a template, I choose "Word Template". I note that the options in the drop down box don't show the file extensions (i.e., .doctx). Is there a setting to show this? (I've watched some videos on-line, and the file extension is visible.). I then name and save the template in a Folder "Word Templates". However, when I open that folder, either in Windows Explorer or using the "Open" function in Word, none of the templates appear. Help? Thank you. |
| Help! Navigation difficult with WORD 2013 Posted: 23 Sep 2014 10:47 AM PDT I have a new ASUS laptop with Windows 8.1 and Office 365. I am having trouble navigating in WORD 2013. In particular, I cannot figure out how to go to the top or bottom of any document. Hitting HOME or END does nothing at all and placing CTRL+ before either also does nothing. There is no cursor movement when I do this. It works on my other laptop for WORD 2007. I have consulted keyboard shortcuts and find nothing else to try. This is weird. Can anybody help please? Thanks. JS |

| Mircosoft Word 2007 document format changing Posted: 23 Sep 2014 09:35 AM PDT Hello! I am having an issue with a Microsoft Word 2007 document that is created at a remote office, moved to a network drive and then opened in the central office. When I open the document that was created by another user (also using Word 2007) the first page is fine but starting at the end of the second page I have an additional sentence which should be the first sentence of the third page. The problem compounds through the rest of the pages. Any help regarding settings or printer drivers or anything else would be greatly appreciated!! |

| Font issues after upgrading to Word 2013 Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:45 AM PDT I upgraded from Word 2003 to Word 2010 recently. I manually installed/transferred fonts from my old computer to my new computer. I use some True Type fonts that do not display correctly in the document, but print correctly. The font indicates that it is correct - (Serpentine) in the document, but the font is being substituted for some reason. I have tried converting my old Word doucments to the docx format, but this hasn't helped. How can I get word to display my fonts correctly. Thanks! |
| Word 2013: Basic Stuff -- What is a Style Set Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:41 AM PDT When I open a new, blank document, there are a bunch of styles in the style box on the Home tab. Is this one "Style Set"? If so, does it have a title? When I go to the Design tab, there a bunch of things in the ribbon that look just like the box of styles on the Home tab -- but I think they're different. Is each of these a "Style Set"? If I hover over the thing in the Design tab, it tells me, I guess, the name of the Style Set, i.e., "Basic (Elegant)". How can I know what the styles are for this set? Do I click it and go back to the Home tab to see all of the Styles that are in that set? And for each Style I need to hover over it to see what it does? Has the person who designed this been fired? |
| Previously working citations becoming "invalid source" - word 2010 Posted: 23 Sep 2014 08:25 AM PDT Document is accepting sources being added, but I seem to be having problems with them becoming invalid for no apparent reason.
Have the trust settings set to allow websites (as per advice in other threads).
Really don't want to have to go through and change each citation to manual. The regedit solution posted on a similar problem raised in 2011 doesn't seem to bare any relation to the actual files that I have, and thus is useless. |

| I need to create a Macro that will find an @ sign individually. Posted: 23 Sep 2014 07:31 AM PDT I have been involuntarily switched to Word 2013. I have a macro that I use constantly and I have been unable to re create. Here is what I need it to do: I have many @ signs as placeholders in my documents. The @ signs must be replaced individually with different information. For example: The quick brown @ jumped over the lazy @. I need to be able to hit a key and go to the first @ where I will type "fox" and then to the next where I will type "dog". My previous macro was the F9 key that did a find search for the @. I can't seem to get it recorded to do this now. ANY HELP APPRECIATED!! |

| Shared files sent from word don't show up on outlook sent folder Posted: 23 Sep 2014 07:08 AM PDT Using Office 2013 on Win 8.1.

| NEED HELP PLEASE - Hide or delete command buttons when printing a Word 2010 document Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:07 AM PDT Is there a macro for printing that will hide several command buttons? The command buttons have nothing to do with printing, so I'm not looking for the hide event when the button is clicked. Their function is to delete the pages within its section. I read about using hidden text, but then the user has to have the show/hide button on, and they would not know that. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

| Possible incompatibilities with previous versions Posted: 23 Sep 2014 04:51 AM PDT I have made several word documents that are advertisement flyers with pictures and text. I made them with a previous version of Word. I have recently had my computer replace with a new one and a newer version of office. I am using office 2013 currently. When I open any of my previous documents they are a mess when they open. Instead of 2 pages they are 3 pages and the text is all wrong. Things are just scattered all over the place. I have a lot of time invested in these documents and I would rather not start them all over again. Can 2013 just open a previous version without messing it up? |
| Footnotes end higher up on the page than normal text Posted: 23 Sep 2014 03:39 AM PDT I'm working on a document with footnotes. On the pages where there is a footnote, the text ends higher up on the page than it should--ie, the footnote stops well above the footer. On pages where there are no footnotes, this doesn't happen--the text goes all the way to the end of the page. This means that some pages have a lot of white space at the bottom without any reason for it. I've checked the footnote formatting, and it is Bottom of page. I can live with a little difference in spacing but this is annoying. Do you know why Word is doing that?
Thanks!

| Issue with Dhivehi Printing Posted: 22 Sep 2014 11:23 PM PDT We are having an issue of printing documents written in Dhivehi in Microsoft Word 2013. When printed, the format changes and some of the text is missing. Even if the document is changed to PDF, the same happens. We found it to be happening after Word 2013 being updated as before that it works fine. So we assume that it is due to an update. It has been checked with different Dhivehi fonts including the default MV Boli. Attached please find a Word document and how it has been changed in PDF.

| Automatic picture numbering with chapter number (own caption style) Posted: 22 Sep 2014 10:10 PM PDT Good morning, I want to number my pictures in Word 2013 as follows: "Pic. x.y" where x is the actual chapter number and y the number of the picture in this chapter. My problem is that I created my own style for captions. In the menu for automatic picture numbering I can only choose the standard word styles for captions and not my own styles. How can I fix this problem? Thank you and best regards, C.S. |

| Paragraph justification problems Posted: 22 Sep 2014 04:45 PM PDT In editing a manuscript, I am going through each chapter using Ctrl H - (Find and Replace) to locate the changes I want to make. All of the sudden I am seeing a problem I have never seen before. When I click on replace, the whole paragraph where the change has been made ends up being right justified. I contacted Microsoft support and they logged onto my computer and after an hour they reloaded Word and disconnected. I am using Word 2013 and pay the monthly support fee so I should have the latest updates. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I have never had a problem with Word like this before.

| Cannot Remove a OneDrive "Place" in Microsoft Office Posted: 22 Sep 2014 03:39 PM PDT Hello, In Microsoft Word 2013, if you click on File - Add A Place - OneDrive, and enter your Windows Login Information: it creates a new Onedrive "Place" for easy file saving. The problem is removing this "Place". I unknowingly added my Onedrive as a new "Place" on a friends Microsoft Word 2013 account, and now am unable to remove it. It is very important that I find a way to remove this, since I don't want him to constantly have access to my files. In addition, his machine is experiencing other technical difficulties, so he would like to remove my OneDrive for troubleshooting purposes. Please help me find a way to remove my OneDrive Place from his Microsoft Office Account. Thank you in advance for any assistance, Luc |
