Microsoft Word - Word template with different margins on first page?

Microsoft Word - Word template with different margins on first page?


Word template with different margins on first page?

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 12:35 PM PDT

We have a printed letterhead and continuation paper for letters and I am trying to set up an MS Word template that has appropriate margins.

The first page is easy, I need a 6cm margin top and a 5cm margin bottom and that works fine.  However, on the second page I'd like the margins to be 'normal' as we have continuation paper where normal margins will be fine.  If I set the margins the same it looks odd, like I'm wasting a lot of space.

How can I create a template with the margins set appropriately on the page but where when writing a letter and it naturally flows onto page 2, the margins become normal?  Is that possible?

How do I open the Normal.dotm file?

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 11:09 AM PDT

Hi. I want to stop the Navigation pane opening by default and see in someone's reply that I can do this in the Normal.dotm file. Where do I open the Normal.dotm file from? thanks, Dollo

Problem: "Microsoft Word has stopped working"

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 10:05 AM PDT

Problem:
"Microsoft Word has stopped working"

1. When the Word document, I click the "View" and "Macros" and "View Macros" I get the message "Microsoft Word has stopped working" - followed by the message "Close the program".
So, I can not open the macros!

2. When the Excel document, I click the "View" and "Macros" and "View Macros" I get a blank "Macro" table.
So, I can not open the macros!

How to regain pre-made macros?

thank you

Converting linked document objects to INCLUDETEXT fields

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 08:27 AM PDT

I have hundreds of small Word 2010 documents (i.e. one sentence in length) inserted in a larger "container" document. I inserted them using the command Insert | Object | Create From File. They are considered as "Linked Document Objects" when I right-click them.

 

For various reasons, a decision was subsequently made to replace all these linked document objects with INCLUDETEXT fields. Is there a way to convert the existing objects programmatically instead of deleting them and inserting the INCLUDETEXT fields one by one?

Thank you for any help you can provide!

"Keep with Next" and "Keep Lines Together" -- What's the General Rule?

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 07:11 AM PDT

I'm back.

So, I've got my document formatted using a mutli-level list linked to Header styles.

All of my Header styles have "Keep with Next" and "Keep Lines Together" checked -- I assume that is the default.

I find that I keep getting large empty spaces in my pages which I can only avoid by un-clicking "Keep with Next" or "Keep Lines Together" in the trailing paragraph.

This is simple enough, but I'm curious whether most people leave these boxes unchecked when the create a new template or document?   Or does it just depend on the document?

Is there an easier way to avoid the empty spaces that I'm not finding?

Thank you.

Can't manipulate inserted call-out due to 'Layout Options' box covering an edit point

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 05:50 AM PDT

In Word, I've inserted a callout.  It's a box with a line coming from it.

I need to move one of the edit points of the line, but this "Layout Options" box is covering it.

I've already formatted the object yet this box will not go away.

The box does not give me an option to ignore it.

Hidden Section Break??

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 05:21 AM PDT

Good morning All,

I was asked to resolve an issue with a Word 2010 document, as follows:

Originally the document had a next page section break at the end of each and every page.  I removed them all, replacing them with page breaks using Find and Replace.  I then put a section break at the end of page 2, the back of the cover page and set up different odd and even pages, so I could alternate the page number to the outside of each page, on the left of even pages and the right on odd pages in the footer.  As I was moving through the document applying styles as I went I notice that I was in section 3 and the page numbering had gotten messed up.  There should only be 2 sections.  Lo and behold, between page 46 and 47 is a change of section and the misnumbering of pages begins.  It goes from page 46 to page 19.  Show hide button on, show hide button off, I do not see the section break and Find does not detect it either. The Hidden check box in the Font dialog box is unchecked.

 Any suggestions on how to correct this will be appreciated.

Word 2013 - Macro - Automate replacing an image with another image, keeping the formating of the previous image it is replacing

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 04:52 AM PDT

Hi,

I've been searching for a way to create a macro to do the following:

- Select the image(InlineShape) in the footer of a document and replace it with the image in 1 specific folder without needing to open 'inset picture' dialog.

- Keeping the previous image's formatting.

I'm not sure, but I feel like this should be fairly straightforward. It would be great if the macro would allow you to record a process like this.

I'm doing this across many files so a quick and easy process would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rod

Skip records in mail merge

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 03:51 AM PDT

I'm creating a mail merge of place cards from an Excel file.  In the Excel file I have Attending Meal in one field and Partner in another.  Not everyone is taking a partner so in that field I have No.  I'm trying to create a merge so that if the Partner field is No it will not print "No" on my place card and skip to the next record. I've tried Skip Record if Partner Equals No but it doesn't work.  I get a message "Word could not merge the main document with the data source because the data records were empty or no data records matched your query options".  I've also tried Next Record If but that doesn't work either.  Where am I going wrong?  Any advice and help would be much appreciated.

Macro stops writing after first protected table.

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 01:27 AM PDT

Hello

In our company we are encountering a macro template problem with several computers. We are using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 with Microsoft Office 2010. There is also in use here IFS as an enterprise resource planning software. IFS server is running Windows server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2 and Microsoft Office 2010.

Problem itself is as follows. When opening .doc Word templates from IFS, Word stops macro writing to the first protected table. It writes fine to the first unprotected fields but after first protected table it stops writing even there would be unprotected macro fields. With most of the computers it is working fine so it is not compatibility problem or protection problem. When IFS is run from its server there is no problem. Problem occurs only in Windows 7 environment. 

What could cause the problem? 

content controls differentiate editable and locked(on screen without printing)

I would like to show the users which are the content controls locked and which are not in my template.

How can I do this? I dont want to show difference in font colours because I want users to print them without any noticeable difference. But they have to see on the screen which are editable and not.

Is it possible? Please someone help me as I am stuck for long time...

Word 2010 change colour of the text automatically when user change the default text

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 01:09 AM PDT

I am preparing a Word 2010 template using content control. There are few locked and few unlocked controls for users to edit/change. Unfortunately the formatting should be same for both these contents. I am trying to show the users which are locked and which are not. If I show using red colour fonts users can understand they are the one to be modified.but while printing the difference is seen. I have tried using macros NoMacro button but it did not allow me more than a line.

Is there anyway to show locked content controls by different colours or something without affecting the printout?

Or is there a way to change the color of the text if users change the default text using VBA code or something (ie. all red colour texts are for users to modify, once they modify turn back to black automatically)?

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Word Bug

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:39 PM PDT

So this issue is a little hard to explain but whenever I shut down word a lot of little clipboards pop up all over the document screen. I don't know what they are doing or why they show up but it is weird and I have no idea why it does that. I assume it has something to do with the clipboard but it happens even when I haven't cut and pasted something into the document.

How do I change the default settings or create a template in Word 2013?

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 08:16 PM PDT

I downloaded Office 365.   In Word I will be doing a series of documents that require a specific font, font size and line spacing for each document.  Is there a way to make this my default or make a template that I can use over and over rather than changing for each separate document?  I also don't like that I can't just save, give my document a name and go to the next document.  I think I can work around this but the formatting is a pain in the neck.  The online version seems kind of limited.

Microsoft Word and PowerPoint Aren't Working Properly

Edit an AddressBlock Field

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 05:53 PM PDT

How can one change an AddressBlock?  And why is it so hard to find such information?

I have an AddressBlock (was generated originally by the wizard):

{ADDRESSBLOCK \f "<<_TITLE0_ >><<_FIRST0_>><< _LAST0_>><< _SUFFIX0_>> <<_COMPANY_ >><<_STREET1_ >><<_STREET2_ >><<_CITY_>><<, _STATE_>><< _POSTAL_>><< _COUNTRY_>>" \l 1033 \c 1 \e "United States" \d }

Now I need to Add in #Unit after Street1, if there is a Unit value, otherwise leave it out.  How can I do this?

Word sporadically displays the Comments (Revisions) pane

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 04:57 PM PDT

Split from this thread.

I actually got a request from someone else who was working on an existing document and this was happening to him as well.  He also showed me a seperate document where the comments pane wouldn't open when they added a comment.  So, this is very sporadic.

As a test I created a new document and it started to do this in the new document as well. 

I have Final: Show Markup

Show Markup: Everything is selected with Balloons: Show all revisions inline

View is in Print Layout Mode.

This is pretty frustrating.  There has to be an option somewhere to turn off the comments pane for good.

Merge: 1. No empty records in output once data source records from input finish? 2. We must alwyas sort data as needed in Excel source doct and not from Word?

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 04:33 PM PDT

I've searched and searched but I obviously don't know what to call the 2 things I'm looking for as nothing comes up that is pertinent.

1.  I've been doing a merge but have run into the problem of having more "empty" records at the end of the merged document when the data source records run out.  What I mean by that is that, in this particular case, my Excel data source has 47 records.  The target Word document has 65 empty "labels" ready to receive the data.  The merged document has 47 filled "labels" and the balance are empty "labels" which I must then delete.

Is there a way to create, perhaps, just one page of "labels" (or target document that holds the merged data, in other words) so that when the records finish, the empty ones just won't appear and won't be populated?  I know how to do this in other applications but it's never been an issue with Word before, as far as I can remember.

2. The other question is, must we always pre-sort the data as we need it in the Excel source file?  There's no way to have that as is and have Word sort the records, as needed?  I know that sounds funny, but just want to make sure there's not a feature in Word mail merge that I may be unfamiliar with that perhaps sorts the data without the source document being affected?

Thank you!

Word 2013 Ribbon Completely Gone--Only old fashioned File and Window menus visible

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 04:19 PM PDT

I was editing a document which had an embedded Visio file as a figure. When I double clicked on the figure Visio, opened but then then immediately ended abnormally. Since then the document shows no ribbon, only the old fashioned File and Window menus. Other documents show the ribbon as expected, so the problem is localized to the settings for this particular document. The second image below is a screen capture of this document open in Word 2013. When I go to File => Word Options => Customize Ribbon, I see the first image. Everything is grayed out. How can I reset the document short of cutting and pasting 40+ pages into a new document.

2013 Word Keeps Crashing

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 04:02 PM PDT

So, I'm using an older document because it has a format my professor has been using for years. I just go in and add my own text to the document. However, when I get almost done, the document will crash. Every time I open it, it will work for maybe a few seconds, then when I try to do something, it crashes on me. Any ideas?

Mail Merge in Word 2013 only works in plain text

Posted: 29 Oct 2014 10:46 AM PDT

Hello,

We recently upgraded to Office 2013 and I have found that the mail merge does not work in HTML format.  I can get it to work in plain text but it requires you to click Allow for each email recipient.  Is there a fix to this.  I am using google app sync with Outlook and do not have any issues in that regard.  It work with the previous version of Word.

Thank you in advance,

Mike

I suppose in between the last two steps I should get all the updates

MSWORKS Missing from Office 2003 Re-Install

Posted: 11 Oct 2007 03:19 PM PDT

If the 'New Office Doent' and 'Open Office Doent' shortcuts are not
shown in your start menu see here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010591561033.aspx

In this case doent means any office file, eg Word, Excel, Publisher etc
By default office doents (files) are saved in the My Doents folder,
when you save an office file you can give it a descriptive name and if
neccessary create a new folder in My Doents to store it eg you are
dealing with the 'widget company' therefore create a folder named 'Widget'
and store it there - subfolders can be created (the save process opens a
window to My Doents in which you name the file & choose where to store
it, or create new folders - place your mouse pointer over the various icons
for an explanation)

Finally, & importantly remember to backup your data!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a number of free or not expensive backup applications

Did you buy your PC new or second hand? If it was a previously owned/used

Ive never seen a new PC preinstalled with the full Office Suite (apart from
the
trial versions). Certainly some HP PC's come with MS Word and the Works

not the full Office.

Maybe you are confusing the Works Suite with the Office Suite?

How do I run "Missing DATA1.MSI" when installing Office 2007?

Posted: 10 Oct 2007 09:46 AM PDT

Please download the windows installer cleanup utility from here..

http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

Install it.
After the install, Run the program.

Choose Office 2000 on the list of installed programs, and click remove.

That will effectively remove Office 2000.

fails your time to restore is half that of a 100 GB database. You could
break it down into four databases if you want.

Problem moving Public folders with "Move all replicas"

Hello Customer,

Thank you for update.

Thanks Ed for the input. Ed is correct, you need the Exchange
administrative rights of your logon user account.

I also think this is a permission issue. Please try the following steps:

1. Start ADSI Edit. In the CN=Configuration container, locate the
following container (where ORGANIZATION is the name of your Exchange 2000
or Exchange 2003 organization and administrative_group is the name of your
administrative group):
CN=Services,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN= ORGANIZATION ,CN=Administrative
Groups,CN= administrative_group ,CN=Folder Hierarchies,CN=Public Folders
2. Right-click CN=Public Folders , and then click Properties .
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Make sure that the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to
propagate to this object check box is selected.
5. Make sure that the Everyone group has the following Allow permissions:

a. Create named properties in the information store
b. Create public folder
c. Create top level public folder

If the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this
object check box is selected, the Everyone group should already have these
permissions. Make sure that the Deny check boxes are not selected.

For detail steps:

You Cannot Create a New Public Folder in Exchange 2000 Server or in
Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313866

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

| Thanks for the suggestions Terence. I tried all your suggestions but am
| still in much the same situation.
|
| Unfortunately I cannot see permissions for individual public folders so
| I couldn't check those. The folders appear in outlook when I connect to
| an Exchange account on the old server but when I Right-click a folder
| and select properties I get the message "Can't display folder
| properties." I also get "Unable to display the folder" when I select a
| folder.
|
| All the permissions are set through Exchange System Manager as you
| described with two exceptions: I had already given "Everyone" Full
| Control of Public Folders on both servers. Also I am unfamiliar with an
| account called Exchange Services. It does not seem to exist on either
| server and I don't recall seeing it on other servers. Could it perhaps
| exist by another name? The local server (servername$) does have full
| control on both machines.
|
| I turned on the additional logging suggested in kb842273 and now notice
| that when I try to access the public folders on the old server using a
| temporary account I created (all the other mailboxes have already been
| moved to the new server) I get the following error:
|
| Event Type: Warning
| Event Source: MchangeIS Public Store
| Event Category: Access Control
| Event ID: 1030
| Date: 9/20/2007
| Time: 1:03:41 PM
| User: N/A
| Computer: BART
| Description:
| org failed an operation on folder
| /O=SPRINGFIELD/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=LISA
| EMAIL8E49E84E42B6B74BF6EF36926863E4C401F40E on database "First Storage
| Group\Public Folder Store (BART)" because the user did not have the
| following access rights:
|
| 'Delete' 'Read Property' 'Write Property' 'Create Message' 'View Item'
| 'Create Subfolder' 'Write Security Descriptor' 'Write Owner' 'Read
| Security Descriptor' 'Contact'
|
| The entry ID of the folder is in the data section of this event.
|
| For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
|
| This is strange since, as I mentioned above, I have given Everyone Full
| Control. I have also added temp1 individually and given the account Full
| Control to public folders. I find that I also get a mixture of similar
| 1030 events and success events when I use the administrator account to
| add things to public folders on the new computer (which I could do
| successfully).
|
| I tried all the other suggestions in the article you suggested
| (kb842273). Unfortunately none of the applicable suggestions in the
| article solved my problem. Once of the steps in the article did provide
| new information but I can't see any way to apply it toward a solution:
| Message tracking shows messages addressed to the Public Folder Store on
| the new server as successfully categorized, etc., then routed, queued
| for remote delivery and then "transferred to Bart.springfield.local [the
| old server] through smtp." But nothing shows up as having been received
| on the new server (Marge). This essentially confirms what the event logs
| are already telling me.
|
| I would appreciate any further ideas anyone might have. Is there a way
| to cancel the tion (move all s) process? If I could just
| regain access to the public folders on the old server I could copy them
| to a pst file using Outlook and move them that way. Since the old server
| will be retired once I get these &%(#!@*^ public folders moved there is
| no long term need for the two servers to communicate successfully.

Export mailbox contacts from exchange to create a WHITELIST

Posted: 19 Sep 2007 05:14 PM PDT

We are using Sophos Puremessage, Microsoft Intellegent Messaging filtering,
Microsoft Sender ID, and Greylist filtering. I want to tighten the rules
down in Sophos Puremessage, but I also want to minimize false possitives. I
can effectively do this by creating a concise whitelist. That is why I
would like to export the contact email addresses.

Exch2003 parameters affecting non page pool memory?

Well interestingly enough you mention SP2 we just loaded that this month.
The EXPBA says everything is fine but something is not right. You mentioned
the TPC TCP Chimney offload, and recieve-side scaling, as well as NetDMA.
Are these services or more protocols? I appreciate this as this is very
insightful and gives some depth to the issue and not just a do this. Thanks!

You need a PTR, so if you don't have one, call your ISP (the ones who

If you do have one, there are other things to look at.

Offline defrag of a new message store??

Posted: 15 Sep 2007 04:30 AM PDT

The old store might (but you're using Ent so you could just move those out
too!)

The new stores will not have any large amounts of whitespace after the
mailboxes have been moved to them.

If you're concerned about whitespace, create three new databases,
preferrably one in each SG, and move 1/3 of all mailboxes from your current
single mailstore to them. You can then delete your current store and not
have to worry about extreme excess of whitespace.

Exchange 2003 server bluescreen/rebooting

Posted: 13 Sep 2007 06:15 PM PDT

Thank you everyone for all the information.

I did the HP driver update, Windows update, and Exchange BPA tuning and
there's not been any problems since the reboot on 9/13 (prior to my first
posting). We've sucessfully migrated the remaining mailboxes and public
folders from one of our production Exchange servers. I'll go through the
process to verify everything is off the system then will be decomissioning
the old server next week. I will check into the comments regarding the
memory dump, but hopefully it was just a unique combination of misconfigured
memory & drivers.

My next phase of this project (mentioned in another post) is to do the same
kind of migration with our second old production Exchange. Unfortunately, I
don't have new hardware to migrate this to, so I'll have to settle with
slightly upgraded hardware with a clean install & new configuration.

Thanks again.

Exchange SOMETIMES rejects mail

Posted: 13 Sep 2007 04:44 AM PDT

One more thing, please check your Internet DNS records and be sure that your
MX record points to only valid SMTP hosts for your domain. The problem
you're seeing can occur when you have an MX record with two A records, one
for Exchange and the other one invalid, which causes mail to bounce when
sent to the invalid host.

To roll back, you simply "throw away" the DC. Wipe the disk and remove it
from the domain, rebuild Windows, promote it, and allow the old data to
te to it. I don't think you would want the FSMO roles in this DC
except for the schema master, which would be required. In the case of a
rollback, you'd have to seize the schema master role onto another DC.
