| How do I set the default program to Word 2010 instead of 2007? Posted: 02 Dec 2014 01:34 PM PST The OS is Win7 ... Office Pro 2007 and Office Home 2010 are installed. Clicking on a docx file runs Word 2007. How do I get it to run Word 2010? The steps I've tried are: Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type with a program -> .docx (list box) -> Change Program (button). Only Word 2007 and WordPad are listed. I've selected Browse (button) -> C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 ... most files are hidden. I've selected Browse (button) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14 ... WinWord.exe is listed. I presume this is Word 2010 as the Office 14 subdir was created yesterday. When I double click on a docx, Word 2007 runs. Any suggestions? |
| Using Mark to generate an Index. Posted: 02 Dec 2014 01:20 PM PST I want to use an index, so am marking words. The problem is the text in the curly brackets changes the format of the page because it takes up space. If I turn off show format (paragraph symbol on home tab), it's OK, but I need to use the show format often when formatting and that defeats the purpose. Is there any way to NOT show the curly bracket info in show format symbols? Thanks. |
| Figure Numbers in Error in certain cases Posted: 02 Dec 2014 01:15 PM PST I'm writing a large, multi-chapter document with a lot of figures. While editing, I need to move figures, along with their captions, easily to avoid unwanted white space (I'm using a 2-column format). I stumbled on a great solution, but it messes up the figure numbers (I'm using chapter-number). I use text wrap, above and below, put the caption in a text box, then group it with the figure. When I do that, it changes the figure numbers (not the chapter numbers). It almost seems as if the automatic renumbering scheme is ignoring the presence of the columns and numbering from the top of the page down. Any ideas why? Also, those of you writing similar types of material--how do you handle figures and captions for easy editing? Thanks. |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2014 01:11 PM PST Is anyone else having a difficult time getting to the forums. Office support has no discernible links I can find to get here. I had to run a search with the word "forum" in it, and then parse through results to find what I wanted. |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2014 01:09 PM PST Office 365 - Home Win 7 I am working on a three-column document on a landscape tabloid (11X17) page. If the last thing in a column is a table, If I want to move the table to the top of the next column I have to use multiple returns. It I put a column break at the end of the previous line, the table is moved to one line below the top of the next column. If, instead, I try to put a column break on the table (in the symbol that appears at the upper left hand corner of the table when the cursor is put over the table), the first line of the table remains in the column, and the rest of the table moves to the column. How do you do this? |
| Allignment of address block in mailing labels Posted: 02 Dec 2014 12:01 PM PST For a mass mailing, I am trying to adjust the address block placement on the label. We are using Avery 5162 labels & there is ample space for the horizontal & vertical placement of the address block on the label. Via shift & return I place the block one line down. Works fine. Using ctrl & tab I am trying to set the block one tab towards the right. The block is moved. However, when printing labels, only the top line appears at the position of the address block and the other two or three lines appear aligned all the way to the left. I never had such a problem when printing address blocks onto envelopes, using the merge wizard in Office 2010 as well as in several earlier versions. Any advise would be appreciated. |
| automatic caption number with chapters is inverted Posted: 02 Dec 2014 11:30 AM PST as you can see in the attached image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38094905/Untitled.jpg while i create a caption numbering with chapter (Chapter A) the number 1 2 3 4 .... is being replaced by the chapter number (A B C D ....) don't know why.... any solution for this? |
| Office 365/2013 not responding after opening up files that were saved from office 2011 mac. Posted: 02 Dec 2014 11:27 AM PST Hi there, I tried safe mode i tried office 2013 and office 365 (32bit/64bit)
When he types a sample small page like a few paragraphs It seems to work fine though. Any reason why you think this would be the case? I bet its a few weird charceters or one small issue. but it immediately uses a full core cpu usage and says not responding after enabling editing mode. Thank you. |
| Word 2010 Crashing on Windows Thin PC Posted: 02 Dec 2014 10:49 AM PST Installed Windows Thin PC on machines for a school, including Office 2010 on the image. When a teacher opens up Word 2010, chooses blank document, types some characters and hits Save (or Save As), it crashes back to the desktop. If the teacher opens up a previously create document, does some work, and hits Save (or Save As), it does not crash back to the desktop. Any and all help to why this happening is appreciated. |
| Word crashes when opening document based on template Posted: 02 Dec 2014 09:46 AM PST Hi I'm a college student with Office 2013. I often use templates for the projects I write for my college work. I now have several documents based on templates. Quite recently an error started occuring. Whenever I open a document, which is based on a template, word freezes. It just stops. In the bottom I can see that it tries to load the original template but fails to do so. So I have to close word down in the task manager. When I try to open it again, it ask whether I would like to run Word in Safe Mode. When I do this the document opens normally. Any ideas of how to fix this. It is quite tirring to go through this process everytime I have to open a saved document. |
| Dumb question: cannot get combo box to allow user imput along with drop down list Posted: 02 Dec 2014 09:21 AM PST Hi, I am using Word to create a form, and I have created a drop-down list. I would like the users to be able to enter their own info if one of the choices won't do, so I changed it to a combo box, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to set it up so it contains an editable choice. I'm using the Developer tab and the Content Control buttons. I can get the drop down part to work, but again, I can't get a selection that will let the user enter text. What am I doing wrong? |
| Docx cursor stupor, ie unable to: Open to Last Saved Cursor Position Posted: 02 Dec 2014 08:07 AM PST Hello, I am finding that when i open my documents, especially my project of 110 pages, the cursor does not remember its last known saved position. I mean, when i save and close my document while the cursor is like somewhere on page 30, i use to be able to reopen the project and i would be taken to page 30. But recently, when i reopen the document, the cursor constantly goes to page 1, line 1. And its a p.i.a. to scroll down pages upon pages looking for the last place i was. While i do know that i can set bookmarks, unfortunately this is not as convenient as it seems. For one thing i dont always have time or memory to manually create one before closing the document. And its not like pressing a shortcut and having a old bookmark deleted then recreated with a new location, ie stopping point |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2014 08:06 AM PST how can you combine 2 different normal templates which both have macros |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2014 07:56 AM PST Is there any logic to working with a canvas? It seems very fickle to me, and it is annoying. I lock its anchor, then insert a new canvas on the page. The LOCKED canvas moves like a magnet being chased by another magnet of similar polarity, except that the new canvas is NOT of similar polarity , i.e., properties. [Do you know those old idiotic thing where you could agree or disagree by clicking inside the appropriate box about what'shisname being an honest president? The disagree one keeps avoiding selection. This is how I feel about working with a canvas.] It seems impossible to create a standard canvas to use like a template, and duplicate it with copy/paste. The pasted one has its own mind and dimensions, not to mention that it reverts to the standard properties, too. That said, does anyone have a workable site to refer me to, please? |
| Office 365 gets very slow as I want to add Network Hyperlink Posted: 02 Dec 2014 06:35 AM PST Hello, We are actually starting using Office 365 ProPlus in our enterprise as well as Windows 8.1. Our most recent "problem" is when we are trying to add Hyperlink on a network location, the application seems to "crash". The application doesn't close or anything but the waiting / circling icon appears and the application "does not respond". ( Word, Excel...) Then, about some minutes later, everything gets back to normal and i can add the hyperlink. I tried gettings some traces with Procmon.exe but I couldn't get anything out of it. Have you ever heard of anything similar and how we could fix it ? Thanks. Etienne Lambert |
| Problem with numbering pages in Word 2010 Posted: 02 Dec 2014 06:11 AM PST I am working on a document where I don not want the first two pages to be numbered, and thereafter want page 3 onwards to be numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. I thought this would be a simple thing to do (perhaps it is) but I can't seem to find out how to do it. Can anyone help? |
| Finding Folders on the PCs of different Users_Wscript Posted: 02 Dec 2014 12:02 AM PST Hello, I have managed to get a (VBA) code (for a user form) in a template that I wanted, but I have one problem. There will be a few different people using the template, these people will be storing the template at different places on their PC / Network. I have a few slightly different templates, so I was told to Dim oTmp As Template
Then set it as:
Set oTmp = Templates("path") Where "path" is where it is on my PC. But it will not only be on my PC though. I read that there's something called Wscript that can return data like this from different places on a PC / Network. I cannot find a lot on it, so I was hoping for some more information here and (hopefully) how to code it. Thank you!!! |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2014 09:03 PM PST My autocorrect seems to be working almost too well. It keeps trying to correct things that I don't need corrected. It sure has been getting annoying. It is only doing this in Word. For example, when I try to type "creation" it automatically fixes "creati" to "create" so when I finish typing the word I end up with "createon"... Or when I try to type "something" it automatically adds the "g" and then takes away the "g" that I type so when I click the down arrow for the autocorrect, it says "Stop automatically correcting somethingg" because in the end it ended up with two letter g's. It seems to be trying to guess what I am going to type by finishing my "ion", "ing", "ly", "et", "te" etc. I have been typing for years and have never seen a program act this way. I've had Microsoft Office 2010 since 2011 and it has usually been just fine. Please help! |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:13 PM PST My current version is Microsoft Word 2013, running in Window 8.1. User Account Control notification is always shown before the Word fires. Box of "Run as Administrator' is unchecked. Please don't answer with the 'Compatibility' tab as it cannot be found in the Properties. I also tried to repair it using the online repair and additional problem had been created! I have to entered the product key every time and the user account control problem is unsolved. Please help... I am so annoyed with the settings at the moment... Thanks for your reply in advance. |
