| Can't open hyperlinks through Word Posted: 06 Nov 2014 01:29 PM PST I am copying data and hyperlinks from another website into a Word doc, but when I press Ctrl + Clink to open the link through the Word doc, here is the message I receive: I then choose Yes, and here is the message I receive: I used to be able to open links from within Word, so not sure what the problem is now.

| Smarter column widths in MS Word Posted: 06 Nov 2014 12:38 PM PST I work a lot with tables in Word, and often the autofit options for column width do not work well for me. Often several of the columns, containing relatively short entries, will be too narrow for their contents, making each row of the table require multiple lines to output. Is there any way I can get a behavior out of Word similar to "choose the column widths that make the table require as little vertical space as possible"? Thanks! |

| How can I selectively remove direct formatting in Word 2010? Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:55 AM PST I have a very large document which I started creating before I learned anything about using 'styles' in Word. It has been compiled from a number of previously-separate documents. As a consequence, bits of the text have different kinds of direct formatting applied, and therefore are no longer controlled by the default settings of the style. I want everything in the document to be controlled by the style defaults. I am aware that it is possible to remove direct character formatting using control+SPACE. However, this removes italics as well as direct formatting such as text size and font. Is it possible to remove direct formatting of font and text size but retain my italics? The document is absolutely littered with them, and putting italics back in manually is not an option. Cheers, David |

| Table of Contents Title Missing Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:32 AM PST I created a Table of Contents by going to References>Table of Contents>Insert Table of Contents. I then modified the TOC styles to match my desired aesthetic, and used Options to set the levels that are showing in my table. However, once I created the table there was no title at the top saying "Table of Contents." I created a new table using an automatic table and this resolved the issue, however, now when I try to create a Table of Figures using References>Insert Table of Figures, I get the same problem, no title saying "List of Figures" or "List of Tables." Any ideas? Cheers, |
| My second section break does not work correctly when in an "if-then-else" statement .. help? Posted: 06 Nov 2014 08:42 AM PST Hi, This is a questions about Word 2013 I have a document that has a first section in with a header and a footer. Within the second page of this section 1, there is an "if-then-else" statement. If the else part of the condition is satisfied there is a section break onto a new page, and then a different header and footer in section 2. The effect I am looking for is for page 1 and 2 to have the section 1 header and footer, and for page 3 when it is triggered by the else statement to have the section 2 header and footer. What is happening is when the else statement is triggered it is using the section 2 header and footer for the whole document? Help .. any ideas, am I doing something daft? Thank you for your help Ros |
| How can Word 2013 keep one split window frozen while the other changes pagination? Posted: 06 Nov 2014 08:05 AM PST Hi folks, Help please. I do a LOT of work where I have one long Word docx, and towards the end there might be a reference table or set of items that I need to look at a lot, while creating content "way uphill" of that point. I've tried NEW WINDOW, SPLIT, but as soon as I go up above the split in one window and start adding content, the other window starts to scroll content down the window, accommodating the movement of text above it. How can I get one of those windows to NOT reflect changes in pagination, lines, etc., above it -- but to really FREEZE PANES the way Excel does? (Short of copying the reference section off to a separate document, that is!) Thanks! |
| Page breaks: Possible to make them darker? They are so faint, so easy to miss. Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:51 AM PST By page break I mean the horizontal line that is inserted in a Word document by using Control_Enter. Is there a way of controlling how thick it is? Usually they are faint and easily missed. If I could somehow make them look like a bold underline that would be great. |

| How to preserve the same text content style when copying the content from web Posted: 06 Nov 2014 06:17 AM PST Whenever I copy content from the web to the Word app, the original style of the content is lost, how to have the original style and look even after copying?

| How to crop multiple pictures in Word 2013 Posted: 06 Nov 2014 04:51 AM PST I have multiple screenshots that I am adding to a Word 2013 document.

| Cant keep a line horizontal! Posted: 06 Nov 2014 04:31 AM PST If I draw a horizontal line - by any means - (pressing shift or freehand and then correcting the alignment) and then change the length of the line then it is automatically offset by a constant amount (0.13cm) from horizontal. After this happens the line is messed up and nothing will make it horizontal except forcing the alignment to zero (shift doesnt work). If I press tab I can get ANY angle EXCEPT a horizontal line. Its fascinating to watch the line smoothly move through all angles and then snap from -0.13 to +0.13cm. This is one crazy bug (that didn't exist in previous versions). It's as if the programmers went out of their way to drive word users crazy. Thnx. Mission accomplished. Hope the MS "geniuses" fix this one.

| viewing redline documents Posted: 06 Nov 2014 04:21 AM PST I deal with redlines on a continuing basis as an attorney. This post has nothing to do with tracking and showing changes. Rather, the issue appears to relate solely to some view function. I received a redline which when opened on my office pc showed as grey (except the footer showed in red!) and prints out the same way. The same document when opened on the email reading panel did in fact show as redline but printing out from the email produces a different looking document. The secretary on the other side sent me "changed only pages" and those were opened as redline (in fact blue). On my home PC, also office 2010, the same attachment does in fact show as redline (also blue). I don't care whether it shows as blue, red or whatever but grey is unreadable. I tinkered with all view settings to no effect. Any clue? |
| Error in Word Posted: 06 Nov 2014 03:11 AM PST Hi.
Please help. I'm having a deeply annoying issue with Word. I just did a fresh install of Windows 7, did updates and then installed Office 365 Home on my brand new 4th gen ci5 with an msi z97 board. (Don't know if that makes a difference). When I open Word, I get this error: 
I have tried all the following:
- quick fix
- longer internet fix
- uninstall and re-install
- uninstall (using the removal tool) and reinstall
- disabling all non-Microsoft startup items, uninstall (using the tool) and re-install
- can't install through safe mode.
I use Word every day. This is terribly annoying. Please look into why it's doing this.
Thank you!

| Numbering problems in Word Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:33 PM PST Word 2007 change the hanging indent when I restart numbering Hello: I scanned the responses fast but haven't seen a satisfying one for me. I start from the principle that if I use a tool that does perform what I expect, I use the tool wrongly, at least for a long tested tool. I deal with short documents, which have to be technically structured (3 to 100 pages max). I can setup multilevel list without too much difficulty, although the visibility of what I achieved does not meet my expectations. I speak of cascade of headings, numbered down to 7 or 8 levels with matching tables of content. The library of listnum items created cannot be easily managed by the user (can be used if smart or lucky, cannot be deleted, is hazardous to be modified, cannot be seen (listed) easily with characteristics). Here, the context is a small pyramid (3 levels max, multilevel numbered). This is not the issue, but the context. Within the lower level (3), I have body text paragraphs. These can be numbered (1. 2. 3.) with simple numbering, based on a Style1 style created, based on Normal style (not a Heading style or numbered style). Plain and simple. Within the 1. 2. 3. paragraphs, I can have simple numbering a) b) c) based on a created Style2 also based on Normal style. |
| Trouble with Mail Merge Directory format Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:27 PM PST I'm trying to create one continuous document which has a table of roughly 10-20 rows for each of my records in an Excel spreadsheet. I have created a template for my base document. I start the mail merge Wizard, select "Directory," and merge in the records from Excel. All the base information is correct. However, I can't seem to get it to be one continuous document! Merging as "directory" does not have any apparent differences from merging as a letter. I still have section breaks between each record, which means I have multiple footers -- thus screwing up the page numbering. (I don't really care about the section break except it messes up the footer...) When I try to delete the section breaks using find and replace, it will not delete or replace them. I have tried multiple options variations. The only way I seem to be able to delete the section break is to do so manually. Since I really don't want to do that hundreds of times every time I create this report (multiple times per year), I really need to figure out a way to do it automatically. It will find the breaks using ^b, but will not replace with a blank, ^l, ^v, ^m, ^t, ^s, or *. I gave up after that. Track changes is NOT on. Any idea why (1) I can't find/replace a section break, or (2) how I can keep one single footer for all sections without individually linking each one to the previous? Thanks. |
| Set consecutive numbering across sections in Word Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:22 PM PST Split from this thread. I'm a little late to this conversation, however, this may help others.
My document was over 150 pages and had section breaks throughout. Pagination started over a few times where it shouldn't have, and the "Continue from previous section" option did not work. I turned the Show/Hide tool on and found that the problems was caused by having consecutive section breaks like this:
----------------------------Section Break Continuous)-------------
----------------------------Section Break (Next Page)--------------
I deleted the extra Section Break and then used the "Continue from previous section" option and it finally numbered the pages straight through the document.

| MS Word Proofing/Thesaurus issues? Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:10 PM PST Hi there, I seem to be having a peculiar issue where documents typed by a colleague in Asia which are sent to me via email do not highlight errors in typing. I have also noticed the thesaurus does not work properly. On investigation, I've noticed the language for the text is set to "English U.K" which apparently there is no proofing available for. Text that I enter is in English (United Kingdom) and errors are highlighted properly. Is there an explanation for this - I would have thought English (U.K) and English (United Kingdom) were the same thing! This occurs on MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010 - I've not yet tried 2003 or 2013. Thanks,
