| Can Word create a MLA citation from an on-line database? Posted: 14 Nov 2014 02:19 PM PST I am trying to use Word 2013 citation functionality to create a list of Sources and create a list of References. I have found no way to include the database (ProQuest, Humanities International Complete, ...) in its proper place in an MLA-format citation for a journal article found on an on-line database. There are fields for everything else, but it looks like a proper list of references listing articles from online databases would have to be edited one-by-one to put in the database info, and that would be a very tedious process. Does anyone know whether there is a way to create an MLA citation for such articles retrieved from databases? |
| Word 2013 Merge Table breaks after header-Need to keep it together with data rows Posted: 14 Nov 2014 01:10 PM PST We have created some report templates in Word 2013. The information merges in fine, but on some of them the header rows stay on one page while the data rows break to the next page. Is there any way, to keep the rows together but allow them to break after filing up the page? |

| Page numbers in headers are all the same number--help! Posted: 14 Nov 2014 09:00 AM PST I use page numbering after the first page of a letter (e.g. [Name of addressee/Subject/Page "X" of "Total"] I have no problem getting the text in the headers, which does not have to change. But when I insert a page number, what I get is, for example "Page 3 of 3" on *both* page 2 and page 3. And if I try to change the page number in the header on page 2 to read "Page 2 of 3", then it changes the header on page 3 to also read "Page 2 of 3". I followed the word directions from Microsoft that are posted on line, but it hasn't worked for me. What's the trick?? Susan |
| Set the Paragraph Style to be used with a Table Style Posted: 14 Nov 2014 08:28 AM PST Hi, In Word 2013 I can insert a table and then click a Table Style in the Table Tools, Design tab > Styles group. I can modify a Table Style to give the desired formatting of file, border, etc. Is there a way to link a Paragraph Style to a Table Style so that when I apply a Table Style the font/paragraph formatting is automatically updated? Cheers

| Protect Word Template Posted: 14 Nov 2014 07:00 AM PST Our office has a central file server (very simple system). Our companies document templates are placed on the file server for the employees to double-click and start editing a clone of the template. Recently, I have found out that if an employee from there work station opens Word and goes File->Open and selects the template, they will then be editing the template document itself (.dotx); not the clone! I am in charge of maintaining the templates. What I would like to do is have the template itself protected from other people editing it, but not to protect the clone. Is this possible? I feel if I password protect the template, when someone opens the clone it will also ask for the password. Not sure if it is the case or not. Thanks! |
| Linked Content Control Posted: 14 Nov 2014 06:41 AM PST Hello, I read this: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/linked_content_control_dropdown_list.html But I need to use only Method 3, but the page only describes how to get the two dependent drop down lists. How can I get something like Method 3? Is there another page? Or maybe just a set of other codes? I can't seem to filter it out of the long code in VBA. Thank you very much!!! |
| Can't install spellcheck in Word Posted: 14 Nov 2014 04:11 AM PST Hello, Could you help me understand, why our spellchecker doesn't work? We have Windows 7 & Office 2010. We wanted to install spellcheker for Lithuanian language. We tried to do that by installing Proffing Tools for Office 2010. As you see in the image: 
However spelling wasn't installed as you see in the following image: 
And here: 
We also tried to install Lithuanian spellchecker from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/language-packs/microsoft-office-language-options-multilingual-support-FX102851176.aspx No changes... What do we do wrong? Greetings, Vytas |
| STYLEREF field updates only sometimes Posted: 14 Nov 2014 03:56 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm using the Dutch version of Word 2013. In a template for reports I have created for one of my clients, the header should display: - text in the style "Bijlage" whenever the report has an enclosure; - the text "Colofon" at the colophon at the beginning of the report; - the text "Inhoudsopgave" at the table of contents at the beginning of the report, directly after the colophon; - text in the style "Kop 1" (Heading 1) elsewhere. In order to achieve this behavior I have included this field in the header: { IF { BijlageTitelCompleet01 } = "Fout! Bladwijzer niet gedefineerd." { IF { PAGE } <= { PAGEREF Inhoudsopgave } { STYLEREF "ColofonInhoud" } { STYLEREF "Kop 1" } } { IF { PAGE } >= { PAGEREF BijlageTitelCompleet01 } { STYLEREF Bijlage} { IF { PAGE } <= { PAGEREF Inhoudsopgave } { STYLEREF "ColofonInhoud" } { STYLEREF "Kop 1" } } } } "Fout! Bladwijzer niet gedefinieerd." translates to "Error! Bookmark not defined." in English Word versions. If a report has one or more enclosures, the bookmark BijlageTitelCompleet01 encapsulates the title of the first enclosure. The bookmark Inhoudsopgave resides on the page with the table of contents. Both the colophon and the table of contents contain the right tekst ("Colofon" resp. "Inhoudsopgave") in the style "ColofonInhoud". The field displays text as intended; the trouble is that it only does so every now and then. Or better: "Colofon" and "Inhoudsopgave" show up all the time at the right locations so that's fine - but any texts in "Kop 1" style or "Bijlage" style remain invisible. F9 does not work. Sometimes however - hey presto! - all of a sudden the field does display text in those styles, and this seems to happen when I copy individual parts of the large field elsewhere in the header in order to check their results. I cannot lay my finger on when exactly the field starts behaving like it should. This is highly frustrating - especially because I cannot think of an alternative approach to achieve the desired results. What is happening here, and how can I get the field to behave correctly? Thank you, Cooz |
| There is not enough memory or disk space to complete the operation Posted: 14 Nov 2014 03:17 AM PST Is the error message I get when users opening a word document gets on Windows 7 64 bit, Office 2010. Machines getting this error are Core i5's with 4GB of Ram (Free ram of 2GB, and Free HDD Space of 200GB) Microsoft solutions on this forums is that you add more RAM and HDD space to the Computer. (The file is 220Kb in size) And it used to open fine. Chrome uses more memory than that small file - this error message is related to something else, question is how did Microsoft manage to break Word and what "Update" broke it, so I can uninstall it? |
| What exactly to select to create macro Posted: 14 Nov 2014 01:57 AM PST Good morning! I had a (potentially simple) question in a recent test : Word 2010 document: Create a Macro, call it e.g. RedHighlight and assign a keyboard shortcut. . Apply this to, let's say, Table on page 5, Second Column. I created, named it, assigned keyboard shortcut.Then recorded formatting & stopped recording. However, what exactly do I select in order to record it? A random piece of text, the specified column in the table they ask for? If I select table column & create it, it's fine. However, doesn't that defeat the object of testing my shortcut key? Any solutions? thanks Stephanie |
| Page Borders cut off by printer Posted: 13 Nov 2014 07:21 PM PST The printer is HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 When I used WORD 2007 I would put in page boarders and they would print. No so with WORD 2013. Boarders get cut off. Even the page numbers get cut off. I am using moderate margins. The top and bottom boarders are cut off. This used to be no problem with WORD 2007, now I am digging through options and not being able to do a simple thing. Is there a web page on WORD 2013 work arounds? |

| Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business Posted: 13 Nov 2014 04:42 PM PST Hi, Recently, my laptop shut down on its own. I had put it on sleep mode for several hours. When I restarted it, almost everything went awry. I couldn't access the Internet. I managed to get online again but I can't open all my Word documents and my photos. Every time I try to do so, the laptop tells me that it can't do so unless I insert a Microsoft Office 2000 Small Business disk. I've never had this program and can't understand how my documents etc had been converted to this format without my doing anything. Advice to resolve my problem would be most appreciated. Thank you.

| Desktop Icons Don't Appear Saving In Word 2010 Posted: 13 Nov 2014 03:47 PM PST I recently had to install a new Modem Router and for some reason now whenever I go to "save as" in Word and use the menu in favourites, if I click on Desktop it literally can take 3 minutes before the Icons / Folders on the Desktop appear in the window on the right hand side and you can then click on one and save the document. If I don't wait for the icons to appear and just save it straight to the desktop it appears instantly. I've recently installed a new modem router and it has happened around that time, before this it was virtually instant, I've also saved a number of other locations into the favourites list and if I click on one of those again it's instant to open the folder and display the contents. I've tried removing and re-instating the Desktop in the favourites list, in case changing the router has had any affect on network drives I've disconnected them all and can't think what else to try. I'm using Windows 7 with Office 2010. Any suggestions what else I could try would be much appreciated!! |
