Microsoft Word - MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion

Microsoft Word - MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion


MultiLevel List for Numbering Figures is not Updating after Quotation Deletion

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 02:46 PM PST

I have the multilevel list approach to numbering figures in a document in relation to their chapter working.

When I create a table of figures, there are figures in the list that were edited out.

This appears to also be throwing off the sequential numbering of the figures. Figure 2.1 is followed by Figure 2.3.

Any ideas about what I need to do to correct this?

recovering unsafe document

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 12:36 PM PST

I left my computer open and thought I saved my word document using word document then my computer shut down by itself and install updates. When I went back on and sign in on my password there wasn't anything stating that it was an irregular shutdown. There was no recover files. I was wondering if there was a way of recovery the document?

Blank Picture Control Field print issue

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 11:29 AM PST

I have created a form with fillable fields.  I have been requested to add 3 Picture Control fields so that the user can click add pictures in these 3 fields with ease.  The only problem is they will not always have 3 pictures to add and when the control is empty, it still appears on printing.  How do I hide a blank/empty Picture Control field on print?

MACROS IN WORD 2010 - WHAT TO SELECT PRIOR TO RECORDING

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 11:03 AM PST

Hi

I had a macro question in a recent MOS Word expert exam which I couldn't get to work properly.

Instructions were as follows:

Record macro, name it "GREEN HIGHLIGHT" which will highlight text green. Assign keyboard shortcut to it CTRL+ ALT+ 7, save to current document and then apply it to let's say the 2006 column of a table on page 5 (for example)

I did the following: Developer - named macro (to current doc) - assigned keyboard shortcut, pressed assign. Recorded the formatting. highlight green. Stopped recording.   Then scrolled down to the correct table and column required. When I tested my shortcut key nothing happened.  Does this mean I need to select my specific column PRIOR to recording it (which works each time) but if so, when do I get to test my shortcut key?

Sorry for very wordy post. 

Any answers welcome!

Thanks

Quick Ways to Select Text?

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 10:44 AM PST

What happened to F8?

So, what are the easy keystrokes to select text and expand the selection?

For example, I used to hit F8 to start "select," and then hit the down arrow to select to the end of the paragraph -- and successive down arrows to increase the selection by paragraph.  Or F8 - page down for a page.  or F8 - End to select everything to the end of the document.

How do we do this in Word 2013?  Hitting the F8 key doesn't seem to do anything for me.

Where can a company go on the web to find a freelance MS Word consultant?

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 06:59 AM PST

Hi,


We're a small company in Calgary, Canada that needs help with some updates from MS Word 2003 to MS Word 2007 and then exporting those to PDF.

We have a number of problems:


It's about 50/50 for a successful conversion…. Some come up with the error: Unable to Open the Document

Some convert but them grab a piece of the front page and insert it in a page along the side of the document.

Some say, Error!  Not a valid bookmark self-reference.

Some don't look very well at all when viewed in Firefox but look OK in Acrobat and Internet Explorer.

 

I can't find any consultants when i do a search on the web ..... where are they hiding or what words should I use for a search term?

Cheers'

Cursor in the wrong place

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 06:28 AM PST

<moved from Windows 7 Performance and Maintenance>

Recently upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2013. Now when editing a document created with 2003 the cursor appears in the wrong place. it appears top be in the wrong place. First the vertical line that is the cursor often appears in the center of a character instead of between two characters.  Second, often the cursor is one or two characters to the left of where it actually is. For instance, assume I want to edit 1234567890 by deleting the 6. I click on the space between 6 and 7. In this example, in spite of what I said above, assume the cursor does appear there (13456|7890). Press Back Space to delet the 6 and I get 123456|890. Instead of deleting the 6, 7 is gone. It can be maddening trying to edit documents.

FWIW. I am editing a 'template' that I do not own so I can not recreate the original document.

Problems with opening a cited document in word

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 02:01 AM PST

I am using Word to write my thesis, but since updating, I get this message every time I open the document:

I then have to save the document as a new file but all the citations I have put in are then unlinked from my citation program Mendeley, meaning I can no longer use the 'cite as I write' plugin function.

Is there a way to fix this and recover my citations??

Unwanted styles in Styles pane

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 01:02 AM PST

Split from this thread.

On the Recommended tab, firstly I  hide all the styles then selected only the styles I want to show using the Show button.  I have set the Sort Order to "alphabetical" and ticked "Show Recommended Styles only".  The Style pane displays exactly what I want.  I then save the document and reopen only to find other "unwanted" styles displaying in the style pane.  Why is this happening?  How can I stop this from happening?  Any advice please.

Send as e-mail attachment fails

Posted: 20 Nov 2014 12:49 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I am using a Word 2010 template to create a newsletter. I use the basic format but may change the position of a text box and make my own choice of fonts and sizes.  When I try to send it as an email attachment it won't go.  Says there is invisible copy. What is up with that? Now it will not let me send the document at all. If one chooses a template, do you have to follow the template exactly.

I recently did this with a brochure and did not have any problems with the format or sending. I'm confused.

Track my membership

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 09:03 PM PST

I am part of a community with many members.  There are also many activities we do in this community, subdivided into different categories (e.g. - Tennis, Hockey, etc.).  I am wanting to establish a spreadsheet which allows me to add members names to these different categories, whereby I can measure the following items:

- The number of activities in which a member is involved

- The percentage of total members participating in activities

- The specific names of those persons who are involved in the different activities (e.g. - I can look to the category 'Tennis' and see that Frank, Sue and Bill all are participating in Tennis).

- The percentage of total members which are involved in a specific activity (e.g. - .07% of the members are in 'Hockey').

- To be able to display the data above, namely the percentages, in a graph or chart.

Thanks for reviewing this.  I am hoping to have something like this set up in time for January 2015.  Your help in appreciated.

printing on 3.5 x 6 cards

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 03:14 PM PST

When attempting printing a word document (office 2013 and Windows 7)  on 3.5 x 6 card using either an HP 1200 or a HP Pll02 the paper will feed thru the machine but it will not print. We have used the HP1200 printer for years and successfully printed on these cards with an older XP machine running an older version of word. If I print a 8.5 x 11 test page or sample document the text is there.

It appears that some setting or driver in windows does not like the small card format. If the card is printed on a Sharp 2080 printer the test is on the card but completely unreadable.

In the first case: File / Open / Type : Microsoft Excl Workbook(xls)
Then create a map between the Excel columns and the Project columns. this

From the project menu, select "group by" and define a new group based on

Microsoft Word - Text visibility issues using high contrast on Word and Outlook (Windows 8) - accesibility issue

Microsoft Word - Text visibility issues using high contrast on Word and Outlook (Windows 8) - accesibility issue


Text visibility issues using high contrast on Word and Outlook (Windows 8) - accesibility issue

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 02:13 PM PST

Due to problems with vision I need to use high contrast all the time. I recently bought a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8 and I am experiencing a number of problems. These are proving very disruptive and I really hope Microsoft can do something to fix them:

1. In previous versions of Office, one could work on high contrast and see white or yellow font over a black background on the screen, yet the actual font colour in the font dialogue and on the document print out remained black over white. This means I could easily work on high contrast but send Word attachments to colleagues that received a normal document, with back font over a while background, i.e. I got the benefits of working comfortably while nobody else was inconvenienced or even knew I was using high contrast.

The problem in Windows 8 is that, when I work on high contrast (i.e. always) the document automatically switches to white or light yellow font, with the very annoying and disruptive consequence that people receive Word documents with invisible text from me. This problem is transferred to Outlook when I cut and paste text from a Word document onto an email message.

I have tried actively changing the font colour to automatic (black) before sending and/or cutting and pasting on to Outlook, but this seems to work in some cases and not in others.

This issue is driving me and my colleagues crazy. The whole point of accessibility features is that they allow people with a disability to function as normally as possible. As it currently works, 'high contrast' is actually making my disability visible and my texts invisible... just the opposite of what should happen. I will be extremely grateful for any advice on this.

2. When using high contrast in Word 2010 and Word 2013, no font colours can be visible on the screen, i.e. you can select a section of text to be in, say, red, and yet that section will still appear in the standard white over black high contrast theme. If you print out the text, then it does show the different colours, but you can't see them on the screen which makes it difficult to work with colour. This was not the case in earlier versions of Word, where it was possible to see different colours of text. This was a feature that, as a visually impaired user, I used to find immensely helpful and which I really miss. It would be wonderful to be able to see font colours on the screen again when using high contrast.

I will be extremely grateful for any help on this. I suspect though that only Microsoft can do something about this and I really hope they will consider issuing a Service Pack to solve these issues (if you do so, please do email me to let me know!).

Thank you!

Word 2013 printed comments author name differs from on-screen comments

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 01:48 PM PST

When you print a document with comments showing it shows the initials of the user making the comment with a number appended at the end of the name.  The onscreen display shows the full name of the commenter.  This makes it difficult to find if a user mentions "comment 4" in a discussion because the on screen version of the same document does not list the same author.  For example, the document in hard copy form shows "TJ4" for comment #4 where as the onscreen document shows "Tom Jones" as the identifier for that same comment.  Very difficult to match them up.  Anyway to make these author comment names match?

IF THEN ELSE Function in Mail Merge Doesn't Give The Option of <Field Name> CONTAINS

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 09:38 AM PST

In the IF THEN ELSE mail merge function in Word 2013, I am not seeing an option to select Field Name CONTAINS a particular word or string of characters.  The only options in the drop down menu are:

Field Name Equal To

Field Name Not Equal To

Field Name Less Than

Field Name Greater Than

Field Name Less Than or Equal

Field Name Great Than or Equal

Field Name is Blank

Field Name is Not Blank

But there is no option that says Field Name CONTAINS.

For example, I want a certain word to be inserted into my document if the Field CONTAINS the expression "Haiti" anywhere in the Field. How do I get it to do that given that CONTAINS is not one of the drop down options?

Thanks!

Table row resizes as building block

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 09:36 AM PST

I created a small table that is not complex and saved it as autotext.  During the active Word session it works just fine.  Once a close out of Word and restart Word, one of the rows blows up to 19 inches in height.  I verified that the property of that row is correct before saving as autotext.

I also tried to save it as a quick part, and the same thing happens.

I've even tried opening normal.dotm and creating and saving it directly in normal.dotm.  Same thing happens.

If I save the table out as a separate document and perform Insert/Object/Text from file, it works just fine.

Is there an option setting I need to change to get my formatted table inserted properly as a building block?

Our default save is .doc

Word 2010 Template: How do I insert an inside cover page without messing up the page numbering or ending up with an extra page?

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 09:11 AM PST

Greetings ---

The Situation: I've created a document using Word 2010's Adjacency template, which is formatted for mirrored margins. With a lot of fiddling, I managed to (1)insert a blank page between the cover and the start of the text and (2) get the pages to number the way I wanted them to. (No numbers on the cover or inside cover; Page 1 starting with the first page of text.)

The Problem: An extra page that I can't see on screen seems to have inserted itself before the first page of the text. So now, with 3 pages of front matter instead of 2, double-sided printing is wacky. (Page 1 of the text appears on the left side of the page instead of the right.) I can't see where the extra page is, so I can't delete it. Any suggestions?

I wondered if  inserting a cover page was automatically inserting a blank page (for an inside cover), but that doesn't seem to be the case. I deleted my original front matter and tried again. If I don't add a extra page after the cover page, Page 1 of my text ends up on the wrong (left) side when I print double-sided.

I tried removing the Content Controls before inserting the inside cover page, but that didn't work either.

I also experimented with section breaks and page breaks, also with no luck. There does seem to be an extra page break on the cover page, but deleting it just messes up the layout.

All advice will be much appreciated!

P.S. Another strange thing... I thought I'd solve my problem by creating a PDF and deleting the blank page from the PDF. When I tried that, all the odd-page numbers disappeared in the PDF.

Is it possible to have a table in Word automatically add checkable checkboxes everytime you add a new row?

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 08:06 AM PST

I have to create a form in MS Word 2010. If the person filling out the form needs more rows, I want to make it so that when they add a new row the checkbox will automatically be in the same position as the previous rows. The catch is that the checkboxes needs to be able to be checked. Is this possible at all?

I keep trying to set up an account but I keep getting more requirements.  Why all the secrets?  This is just a document printing site.

Now it wants to know numbers that I don't have, this came on my computer, darn it.

Field codes change in the footer when it reaches an Odd Page section

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:23 AM PST

We use Word with AuthorIt, a content management system. I have defined in AuthorIt that when it publishes the Word document, a new chapter should have a different first page, even page, and odd page footer. (This is really in place for header changes, but the setting affects both.) I've told it to use the same footer autotext ("Footer odd-even") in all three types of footers.

When I publish, the footer is correct in first page footers and even page footers, but when I hit the first odd page footer section, it is wrong. The autotext that is placed is referencing a totally different field code than what I had defined in Footer odd-even. If I manually insert autotext Footer odd-even, it is correct.

Any ideas on why the footer is changing only in the odd page footer? It's working correctly in the other two, which I find strange. It seems like it would be broken everywhere.

Here's the correct autotext

{STYLEREF Title \*CHARFORMAT} {Page \*CHARFORMAT}

And here's what it gets changed to in odd page footers

{MERGEFIELD STYLEREF "Heading 1" \*MERGEFORMAT}

Thanks for any ideas you can offer.

i can't open any file using my MS word 2013.

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:15 AM PST

I'm having trouble in opening my files in Microsoft Word. i did everything that was suggested on other discussions about this matter, i unchecked the add-ins, i also unchecked the protected views etc. the thing is nothing works for me every time i try to open a document, it says " Word could not create the work file. check the temp environment variable"  like this one.i clicked ok probably for 3 times before it disappears leaving it like the image below. i've waited for hours for the file to open but it didn't open, it stays exactly the same . there are times when it asks me to open the word in safe mode, sometimes it gives me choices like " notify me when the file i ready"(something like that) there are 3 choices though, pardon me if can't remember the rest. there are also times when i can open the file but it's blank like nothing was ever writen on it but when i try to close it ask me to save the file in different location with the file name "Normal". 

what should i do? i needed to use to MS word so badly right now because i have research to do.

Programme settings affecting text wrapping

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 06:49 AM PST

Hi,

A Word document was appearing subtly differently for different users in my team. I'm certain that we are all opening exactly the same file but in one place in particular, around a text box, the document looks different on our various computers (all the same model of computer):

  • for one of my colleagues their screens showed a large space between the end of the text  box and the following text
  • on my screen the text the space is significantly smaller

When either of us emailed the file to Adobe LiveCycle it sent back a PDF that mirrored my screen image - indicating that my screen view was the 'correct' one.

Coincidentally, our IT department recently made a full delete and reinstall of Office on my colleagues computer, and this fixed the problem. So we have a solution but I suspect that a very large number of other colleagues in my department have the same issue and if there was a simpler more precise way to address it than a full reinstallation that would be much better.

A couple of clues that we found:

  • When my colleague was still having the problem it was particular to her computer. When she logged on on my computer she saw the same view that I did, indicating that it is around the computer installation of Word rather than part of her roaming profile.
  • When my colleague was still having the problem and when we each separately selected the text box in question and looked at the Text Box Tools > Format > Postion > More Layout Options > Text Wrapping we both saw that 'In line with text' was selected. In both cases the 'Distance from text' options were greyed out but the greyed out numbers they contained were different.

A simpler solution or even just a better understanding of the issue would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Work Order Template

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 06:07 AM PST

In 2012 I downloaded a Work Order template from the Microsoft site.  By hitting Save instead of Save As, I ruined the template and want to download it again.  It has green lines and greyish gradient.  I am running Word 2010.  Is this template available.

Error Msg: Opening this document will run the following SQL command

Posted: 19 Nov 2014 05:48 AM PST

Re: word 2013  I'm not a very experienced user & I was trying to print envelopes that just had people's names on them (without mail merge, etc. - nothing else) so I tried to figure out how to do it and eventually saw an option a create a new list, which I did.  Then when I could tell it wasn't going to work/was too complicated I just exited out.  

I wasn't thinking about the fact that there was a document open in the background that had nothing to do with what I was trying to do with the envelopes. When I try to open that document now, I get this error message:

                                                                         

"Opening this document will fun the following SQL command:  SELECT*FROM* Office Address List.  Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want to continue?"

So I did a stupid thing, trying to fix it myself because there is no "Administrator" except me.  I went & clicked on "MAILINGS" while in the document and figured out where the list was stored: (computers, (C), users, reception desk, my documents, my data sources)    and deleted the list. When that didn't help, I went back and deleted the other 2 files listed. I can't remember what they said, but the names had SQL in them.  Obviously I haven't solved my problem & have probably made things worse. Can anyone help me get rid of the error message/fix my document?

Linked Content Control Using Table in Word

Hello,

I have another question. Since I have a lot of data (a lot of plain text content control fields that are populated by one choice (from like 15 options) in a drop down), I would like to try method 1 of this page: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/linked_content_control_dropdown_list.html.

Excel Table inside Microsoft Words 2010 (Printing Problem)

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 06:35 PM PST

I have encountered this problem where I wanted to print this Microsoft Words file which has a few excel tables inside of it.

My print preview shows perfectly what I want.

But when it is printed out, those in excel table has a weird kind of font (fattened and shortened).

Anyone who has encountered this problem and solved it.

It is really much appreciated that you could tell me a solution to this.

The only solution that i found out is that, I have to double click each excel file each time I want to print in order to print it out in a originalfont size that I wanted.

Header limits bigger than specified

In some pages of the document the header limits are other than specified and I can't fix it. It seems as if Word has gone loose...

Why can't I use macros in dotm files?

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 05:19 PM PST

I prepared a macro-containing document in Office 2011 on the Mac, saving it as .docm and then as a .dotm to make it a template. It contains a button in a bookmark to load and paste a picture into a bookmarked location in a protected (for forms) document. The macros run just nicely on the Mac. 

When I first imported it to Windows 7 and Office 2010, it gets stuck at a Left$() function call, complaining Word "Can't find project or library". When I look at References, it lists

MISSING:Normal.

(The location given is the folder where the original file was.)

I returned to the Office on the Mac and in looking at its references, there is indeed one to Normal in this folder, though there is no Normal file there. I unchecked it and resaved the docm and the dotm. The docm file itself now works fine under Office 2010, but the .dotm file does not complaining continuing to complain as before, though the strange reference to Normal is gone. Does any know why the .dotm file isn't working while the .docm is? The end user can use the .docm, but a template would make it cleaner.

How do I get a mailed word file to reflect on the recent files page on start up of ms word 2013?

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 04:54 PM PST

I have MS WORD 2013.  My editor returned my file to me via an email.  I double-clicked on the file and it opened in WORD -- No problem.  It was read-only so I saved it by changing the name of the file.  I went on to work with the file that day and closed it for the day.  The next day, the file was NOT in the recent files window of my WORD page.  Question:  How do I make the file accessible  to me in the Recent Files section of WORD?   Can contact me at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

thanks

  

Why do I constantly get this pop up on the MS WORD 2010? I never had this issue with MS WORD 2007. There is plenty of room on the paper for printing what I need. Please help me resolve this.

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 03:48 PM PST

Why this pop up and cannot find the Printers dialog box in the Control Panel?

" The paper size of section 1 is different from the printer page size.  The paper size options you select on the Page Layout tab and the Printers dialog box (in the Control Panel) must match.  Do you want to continue printing? 

I go to the Control Panel and there is no Printer dialog box.

The paper size is always the same size I've used on MS Word 2007, and never had this popup.  How can I resolve this? 

How do I display a date in word merge documents that is 6 months in advance of the current (today's) date

Posted: 18 Nov 2014 03:45 PM PST

I have a document in which I retrieve today's date using {MERGEFIELD "Todays Date"}. What I want to do is to display the date as six months in the future, i.e. 3/4/2014 displays as 3/10/2014 or 1/11/2014 displays as 1/5/2015 (Note: Australian date format, NOT US).

I also need the date to display as 3 October 2015 or 1 May 2015, i.e. dd/MMM/yyyy
