customize keyboard delete char

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 01:26 PM PST

I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut ctrl d to delete char right, essentially the function of the delete button on the keyboard.  I cannot find an option for this function anywhere in the customize keyboard menus ... any tips/suggestions for this would be much appreciated!

VBA to find and replace every nth character in every nth page

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 01:25 PM PST

Despite having some knowledge of VBA in Excel, I find both my vocab lacking in Word and not knowing how to create/use the equivalent of a user defined function in Word.

I am trying to find every say third "t" in every other page in the whole document and replace them with a different font. Would be grateful for any suggestion. Thanks very much.

Word Document - Sections and Watermarks

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 10:47 AM PST

Hello,

I'm attempting to add Watermarks to a document broken into sections. Each section has a unique header and footer. Within a few of the sections I'd like to use a watermark as an indicator to mark specific pages within the section but not every page in the section. Here is an explanation of what I'm wanting to do. The last column represents the intended pages to watermark.

Printing a Custom Range in a Microsoft Word 2013 Document with Multiple "Section Breaks"

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 10:24 AM PST

Ok. This should be an easy one.  I am obviously new to Microsoft Word 2013 (Windows 8).

Bottom line, ...   I tried to print a custom print range in a Microsoft Word 2013 document, which has multiple "Section Breaks", by putting in the range "1-33".  I thought I was printing pages 1 thru page 33, but what I got was the entire document.  I did a "Google" and found that what I really needed to do was to go to the page I want to print to, look in the bottom left hand corner, see what page and section it is, and put in the Custom Range box, p1s1 - p4s11.  This gave me the desired pages I wanted.

Basic question:  Is this the only way to print a range now, in a document with multiple section breaks?  I can't just put in 1-33 like I used to be able to.  Is that right?

Thanks in advance.

2007 Microsoft Word help with editing electronic checkboxes

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 09:04 AM PST

I have finally figured out how to insert check boxes that can be electronically checked or unchecked in the Microsoft Word document, but they are named "checkbox1," "checkbox2," etc... 

I would like to know how to change the name of the check boxes so that I can make a list in Word that can be electronically checked or unchecked. 

Thanks!

Template Download Error Word Doc 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 08:58 AM PST

I'm trying to download a template out of Microsoft Word Starter 2010.   The box appears that says

  Template Download Error

  * make sure computer connected to internet

  * make sure browser in not in offline mode

  * Try again later

I am connected to the internet.  My browser is online.   How do I download a template?  Is it just a tease because it is Word Starter and not available? 

What's the best way to implement robust enter-once-repeat-many-places functionality in a Word doc based on a template?

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 08:34 AM PST

I'm trying to create a template in Word 2010 for use creating the documents that make up a set of documented departmental procedures.

Each of these documents will cover one procedure, and the document will have a title, a procedure number and a revision number (manually updated, initially 0). Each document will also have a document number made up of the document set number (fixed as 004), and the particular procedure number and revision number. I want the user to be able to enter the title and procedure number in a title section on the first page, but then have the document automatically repeat those in page headers and other places.

My first go was to make the title and procedure number (as they first appear in the title section) into bookmarks. Then I could do Insert > Cross-reference, choose ref type to be Bookmark, choose the right bookmark and OK it. That puts - if I understand the terminology right - a field code into the text to display the bookmarked text.

But that's not very robust. Someone editing the document name can all too easily delete the grey [ or ] bookmark brackets and then updating all field codes leaves a scattering of broken references through the document.

I searched on here and found mention of using content controls with bookmarks as a way of protecting them, so I tried that. Putting the bookmark around a number I type inside a rich text control, then setting the control properties to cannot delete does indeed stop one from deleting the bookmark by accidentally deleting the entire paragraph it sits within, but it doesn't stop one from accidentally deleting the [ or ] inside the control when trying to change the number. Applying the bookmark to a selection including the control itself DOES protect it better, but now when I do the Insert > Cross-reference thing it adds in extra spaces either side of the number that it copies from the control.

Surely there's a better way to do this? I have very little understanding of field codes and controls and references and all that gubbins, and indeed I don't really know the difference between them all, let alone which would work best for me.

I did stumble across the concept of document properties and custom document properties, so had a play with these too, thinking they might be the way forward.

I see that you can do Insert > Quick Parts > Document Property to paste in things like the document author, and if I understand right Word is getting that from the file metadata which is in turn getting the author name from the PC. Using these Quick Part / Doc Properties I can insert multiple instances of any one of that limited set of properties and whenever you edit what's in one of those instances in the document text, the others update automatically. That looked promising. HOWEVER there's a limited set of choices of properties available to stick in this way.

That led me to custom properties. I found articles that showed me how to create a custom document property, and also how to paste an instance of the text it holds into the body of the document. But doing it that way doesn't let the user edit the property from within the text (unlike those Quick Part thingummyjigs). So that's not ideal either.

I'd probably need to understand how all these things actually work, a damned sight better than I actually do in order to say which way to go and how to implement it. As it is, I'm at the a-little-knowledge-is-a-dangerous-thing level of understanding.

Which is why I'm asking for help!

P.S. don't suggest VBA or other programming. I'm nowhere near being competent at that. Don't suggest non-standard plug-ins or add-ons either, since I'd have to get approval to roll them out to everyone in the firm for them to be the answer.

If statement using multiple conditions

I can't open a Word document

Posted: 05 Dec 2014 06:42 AM PST

Hi all experts,

I have a Word document, but I can not open it. Something is going wrong with it.

I'm trying to open, but is not possible. I don't understand why, and I don't know what to do to open it.

The document is created with Word 2007, and when I try to open it I give some windows messages (attached), and when I press OK button, in the end nothing happen! I tried to open it with some online sites in internet but still doesn't work.

In internet I read that exist some small software that make possible to recover Word documents, but for the moment I don't have a computer in my home, and in my office I haven't administrator privileges to install one of this software.

Can someone help me to recover this document. I appreciate a lot if yes, because this document is important for me.

Below is the link for this document.

VBA - Update file after the userform has been closed

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 11:43 PM PST

Hello,

I have a Userform, that deletes unused bookmarks (easier then buildingblocks). All of these bookmarks contain different tables that contain different references to each other. How can I have those references updated after the selections in the userform have been made (these cross-references, which contain numbering, change according to selections)?

I would like to have some code to do it automatically, instead of having to update it manually.

And I have one more question:

When those bookmarks are deleted, sometimes it only deletes the content, but not the table as such? All tables have the bookmark placed in the same place and the code for all of them is the same also. What could be causing this?

(Explanation: I have 30 bookmarks that are basically the same (table-wise), but different content/names)

Thank you!!!

Middle align text vertically in table cell in Word 2010+

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:49 PM PST

In Microsoft Excel there are a set of buttons that control the vertical alignment of the contents of a cell.

When you use these buttons they change the the vertical alignment without changing the horizontal alignment. They are labeled Top Align, Middle Align, and Bottom Align. In Microsoft Word, though, I don't see those buttons or any way to use those commands. Instead, you have:

If you choose any of the buttons it affects both the horizontal and vertical alignment. Often I format the top row horizontally centered and the other rows left and right. I want to be able to select the entire table and adjust ONLY the vertical alignment (specifically to middle) and leave the horizontal alignments the same.

In addition, if it's possible to adjust only the vertical alignment, I'd like to add the vertical alignment buttons to my ribbon. I believe these buttons were available in Word 1997 and 2000. However, they were labeled "Center vertically" etc.

Table of Contents - Coloured Numbers

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:48 PM PST

I am wanting to know if there is a way in which to change the colour of the page number in a Table of Contents (TOC).  I have a requirement where the TOC text and page numbers need to be different colours. For example:

- the TOC1 text 'Health and Safety Policy' is blue and the associated page number green.

- the TOC2 text 'Key Contacts' is automatic and the associated page number green.            

The text for the TOC is linked to the outline level in each style.  I am able to change the colour and other formatting attributes for each TOC level, however, both the text and number are changed. 

Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Icons/Text for Quick Access Toolbars

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:47 PM PST

How can you assign an icon or text to the commands in the Quick Access Toolbar that only have a circle and no icon or text?  I have numerous commands that do not come with an assigned icon or text.  I have reviewed discussion threads regarding inserting text instead of icons but the explanations are way above my level of comprehension).  I just want some way of differentiating between all of the commands that have no icon or text at all.

Things were so easy with prior versions of Word.  Everyone I talk to has the same opinion.

Is there any way to manually back up files in Office Word 2007?

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:25 PM PST

I have Office 2007 running in Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 and would like to know if there is any way to back up files without using the "always create back ups" under Word Options.  I only need backups created at certain points in my work flow and having to go in and out of Word Options to turn it on and off interrupts the work flow.  What I'm looking for is something that will allow me to simply save the file in normal format and as a backup at the same time like it does with the Word Option but only when I need it.  Hope you understand what I mean with this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, DL. Yes, you are correct, I do have the 3 PC

install this on PC #3, (and assuming that it will come with the MSO
Trial), that I will need to first uninstall the MSO Trial's Activation
Assistant and then the MSO Trial. MS provided very minimal instructions
with this package. I guess I was just lucky with PCs 1 and 2, but the
question of needing to uninstall the AA from these 2 PC remains. The AA
is about 14MB. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

You did mention that, but not if the error had a number, or the exact error

search the Microsoft Knowledge Base, or newsgroups, for that exact error

At any rate, try the steps I noted below and post back.

CRM Setup couldnot find a valid organization on the specitied data

Posted: 10 Jul 2005 11:13 AM PDT

Jim,

The DMF guide will guide you through the whole process. You will first have
to transfer your data to the DMF tables (the so called 'cdf tables'). If you
restore the MDF tables to the database, then you can use these as source.

Then you can check your data in the CDF tables to see if everything is in
there. Then transfer the data to the crm databases.

The most important table is the companyname_MSCRM table. This one contains
all the data. Unfortunately you cannot user the companyname_METABASE to
restore the customizations. I hope you do have a backup of that (xml file).

Hope this helps,

I've created a landscape table in Word but, as there are 43 tiny little columns, I need to rotate the table so I can insert column headings vertically.  I've tried looking for a handle to grab, but there isn't one.  Any suggestions?

Thank you.

MS Office Word 2010 Normal.dotm and Folder Redirection Issue

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:26 PM PST

Hello,

I currently work in second line support, and was wondering if any of you could help me with an issue we are having at the moment, relating to MS Office 2010 applications, in particular MS Word, running on Windows 7.

We have laptop users on a Windows 2008 domain, that have folder redirection setup on some of their folders such as 'My Docs', 'Desktop', 'Favourites', etc., but not the AppData folder, all are redirected to a usershare on a mapped 'R' drive. This is a useful setup, which reduces logon time and is convenient when users logon to different PCs in the organisation, for quick setup of their profile etc. Offline files have been disabled by our server team, due to security concerns and previous 'issues' where we have ended up with users losing data. 

Anyway, the problem is that Word will work fine and open up OK while connected to the network, but as soon as users are disconnected, when using their laptops at home, for example, to try to work on saved office documents, they receive the message below :-

Word will open up, but when they try to save the document they have been working on, they get the following message and Word hangs for ages :-

I have done a bit of research and found this link to a similar issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2816253 it looks like it has something to do with Word looking for the 'Desktop' folder under the user's profile, when it is initialising (!?) If this can't be found, which it wouldn't be if the usershare ('R' drive) was not available when offline, and a temporary userprofile is being used, then this message is displayed - Strangely enough, it looks like it has nothing to do with the location of the Normal.dotm file, or memory resource issues...

Would any of you know if there is a way of stopping Word looking for the 'Desktop' folder when it is initialising, to stop this error? Or have any of you had a similar issue that you managed to resolve differently? When we used to enable Offline Folders, we didn't have this issue as, obviously, a cached 'R' drive was available to the user's when they were offline, which Word was able to use as a reference.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Many thanks.

Rich.

Doc created in Word 2013 look like it's open in compatability mode on Word 2010 (And there is a mac in there somewhere...)

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 02:12 PM PST

Here's what's happening.

1. Doc created on Word for Mac

2. Open doc on Word 2013 - it looks fine (this machine is running Windows 8.1)

3. Open doc on Word 2010 - formatting is way off (this machine is running Windows 7)

If I open the doc in Word 2013 and then save it as a .DOC file, it ends up looked exactly like it does when opened in Word 2010.

I have confirmed that the file extension is .DOCX.

I have also created a document in Word 2013 (on the Windows 8.1 machine), using the .docx format, and then open it in Word 2010 -- it looked fine.

This document has a ton of tables and text boxes in it.

Any help is much appreciated!

IF Then Do Nothing

Want to perform a mail merge that prints the company name only when the default address is business. Almost there but having trouble figuring out how to write an if then statement that yields do nothing if not business. What should go where the ? is placed in my code below? (I already tried using " " but then it leaves a blank line in my address block.) Thank you

Picture Styles is greyed out (not available)

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 01:58 PM PST

I have a document in which I inserted two different pictures (JPG photos).  With one of them I can work with Picture Styles, but the other does not offer me this option.. when I right click on the image, the picture Style icon is greyed out (not selectable.)

Another post suggested opening the image in Paint and re-saving it - I did this, and it made no difference.

I also tried putting the images into a new blank document, and got the same result with this one photo.  In the attached image, you can see the Style option is not available.

What can cause the styles not to work with an image, and how can I fix it?

Word 2010 - Link only retrieving first page

Styles task pane question

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 01:48 PM PST

When formatting a document using styles, in this case Heading 1, I notice in the Style Quick Gallery Heading 1 has a dark border around it letting me know that Heading 1 is in use in that paragraph.  However, I generally prefer to use my Style Task Pane because I have a better indication of how it's set up.  Sometimes, not always (and I hate that), when I've formatted a paragraph with Heading 1 the style in use is not indicated by a dark border in the Task Pane.

Any ideas?

What should the template include?

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 11:18 AM PST

Hello,

I am going to make my own personal business on creating templates; please can you tell me what I should be including on a template? I bought a word template and I find that looks quite professional. The templates include example text and also using the featured font's style, colours, and so on. But when I deleted the text content, it went back to the MS office default blank template.

Was it a "professional templates" which I have shown above?  

To build a template for my customers, I do not provide the text content. For example, if customer asks me to build a template for his resume, I can only make it looks beautiful. Of course, In order to show the effect of the template, I would like to use some sample text such Heading, Title, Body Text and so on.

If I build a template for customers:

  • My Templates flag is "professional", so what the template should be including?
  • Do I need to create special Themes (colours, font styles, effects, table styles, etc.)?
  • I found some detail about Submission guidelines for templates; do I have to build the template in accordance with the requirements?
  • Anything else do I need to do?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Template.vsto Error Message - how to eliminate?

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 11:00 AM PST

I recently upgraded from Windows XP  to Windows 2007 (at work). With this came a move from Office 2007 to Office 2010.  When I open files sent to me by others (via email), I often get the following error message:

Installing Office customization

There was an error during installation.

Name:

From: file:///C:/path/filenameTemplate.vsto

Downloading file:///C:/path/filenameTemplate.vsto did not succeed.

I noticed that the orig. template for this file is in a location I don't have access to; the template is a .dotx. That location is totally different than the local path mentioned in the error message.

Could someone please explain the above error message and is there a way to stop it from occurring? Even though I can just close the error message, it's irritating to have the error pop-up every time I open the file. Plus I hate not understanding what is going on.

Thank you.

word 2013 & rulers

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 10:52 AM PST

How do I remove rulers from a document. I have a 3 page doc that has been created with lots of cut and paste. As a result there are several rulers imbedded in the document. I would like to eliminate all rulers except the original one at the top of the doc and have the tabs that I set there flow throughout the doc.

Linking tables from Excel to Word

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 07:58 AM PST

We recently updated from Office 2000 to Office 2010.  Existing files in Excel and Word have been converted to .xlsx and .docx formats.  We have a report document in Word that has linked tables from Excel inserted in it.  Since conversion, each time we update the link for new data, the size of the tables in the Word document change and enlarge as well as font appearance looks different.  This requires the Word document to be edited each time to resize the table info.  We did not have this problem with the old version.  What needs to be done so that the linked tables do not change in size when the link is updated?

Thanks!

Font Restriction in Word 2007 Document Templates

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 07:29 AM PST

I've created a set of templates for my coworkers to use in generating new and reformatting old documents.  I've used content controls to eliminate issues of spacing, date formatting, and keeping necessary sections.  The major thing I want to accomplish now, though, is to lock all text in the document to Arial 11.  I've used the "Restrict Formatting to Permitted Styles" option, but have run into the problem of it blocking direct formatting.  I've defined some custom styles and figured out that "keep text only" when pasting retains single-level bulleting/numbering, but haven't yet found a way to preserve nested lists.  These documents will be instruction sheets, so this is a major need.  Ideally, I'd like another way to restrict font to Arial 11 without using the "Restrict Formatting" option at all.  The end result would be the ability to paste old(and diversely formatted) documents into the template and have the font change be immediate and consistent.

How to email multiple documents, and make new local folders, MS Excel App on iPad 4 iOS 7.1.2

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 06:55 AM PST

OK, so very excited in the creation and release of the long awaited Microsoft Office apps, (especially since the $12 Quickoffice HD Pro app lost support). I quickly learned how to navigate and intergrate into my day to day life.

The Question: I find the need to send multiple documents via email and have found that I can only send 1 at a time, is there a trick I'm missing? Or maybe this is an option MS can add at a later update? With Quickoffice you could just tap and hold 1 documnet while you tap all the others you want would like to attach to an email. I attemped the old "more than 5 photos at a time restriction" cheat and copied from one and then pasted to another email, however when opened up on the other side the copy and pasted attachement was just a picture, not the actual document.

2nd Question: Is there a way, (or could Microsoft make one in a future update), to make new folders and save them locally on the iPad? I could be wrong, but I believe there is only an option to save onto OneDrive. I find the lag on opening excel spreadhseets annoying and can only imagine how bad it would be if there was low Cell Network coverage. I choose to only down load once, then save locally on the iPad. However it would be nice to organize Spreadsheets and Word documents into local folders.

Word - Heading Formatting / Hyperlinking

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 05:59 AM PST

Hi All!

I have created a large directory for our training department, however I have encountered a problem when it has come to hyperlinking within the document.

I believe you need to have 'Headings' to be able to choose a place to hyperlink to.

The problem i have, is when i format the chosen title to a 'Heading' it alters the format and the document misaligns.

Does anybody know a more simple way i can hyperlink within the document?

Or does anyone know a way i can format the titles to a 'Heading' without affecting the previous formatting?

Thank you all once again for your help.

Kind regards,

Alex.

Unicode characters displaying as square boxes

Split from this thread.

Anybody can help - Urgent MS Word 2013 shows square box for unicode characters

I have one xlam file. This file is created using vba programming. We have custom stamps image (alphabets in circle). We are using "Arial unicode MS" font for this to display in a form.

The same thing is happening in .dotm file also.

Leaduser feedback - How Microsoft word can become even better!

Posted: 04 Dec 2014 04:14 AM PST

Hi Microsoft team

would like to share my experience with you in regards of using Word. Perhaps you can help already or maybe this will be an opportunity for you to innovate your service even more!

I am Swedish but study and English online program and there are several times I have to use Googles translation in order to find the words I am looking for. That is one issue I have. Number 2, as there are several English words that I have not seen before which I need to translate in to Swedish in order to understand the whole text.

For my first issue:

I would like to see a small square or something implemented in word so I do not have to close the window in order to get a word translated very quickly!

For my second issue:

I would like to create a list (very easily), a glossary where all words are saved so I can study the meaning of those words. Would be awesome if the glossary list always come up even if I open a new document. As of now I have a word document which I fill in words ( English) and find the translated word in Google which I then put in the word document.

Would it not be great if everything could be done in the word document?

Best regards

 Nick

PS. Uploading a document in onedrive and then opening it in word again, never is 100%, you need to work on it.

       "A" in the field to actually display "blue"

       "10" in the field to actually display "north"

Some Word Files will not open on Windows Server 2012R2

Posted: 03 Dec 2014 06:30 PM PST

I have identical versions of Word 2010 on two different computers. One is Windows 7, and one is Windows Server 2012R2. The Win 7 is my primary writing machine but sometimes I  need to open a Word file on the other machine.

Some of the files open fine on Windows2012 machine, but some give me an error:

"Word experienced an error trying to open the file." It then makes some suggestions for things to try, including Repair as I am opening the file, but none of these suggestions work. I keep getting the same error.

I cannot see what is different between the files that open fine and the files that give this error.

They all open fine on the Windows 7 machine.

I have tried do a full Repair on Microsoft Office and then rebooting.

The normal way of sharing the files is to copy from Windows 7 to a cloud location and then downloading on the Windows 2012 machine. But I have also tried emailing the file to myself from Windows 7 and opening the email on Windows 2102. I get the same problem.

What else can I try?

Thanks
