Microsoft Word - Replace with nothing

Microsoft Word - Replace with nothing


Replace with nothing

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:36 PM PST

Leaving the Replace With field blank says to replace the Find What contents with itself, except for formatting. But sometimes I want to replace the Find What contents with nothing. The only way I've found is to clear the Clipboard and in the Replace With field, choose Special > Clipboard Contents. There is probably an easier and more obvious way but I don't know what it is. ??

Optimize a same document for different paper size (A4 size and smartphone screen)

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 12:29 PM PST

Hi,

Does Microsoft Word has a way of optimizing a same document for viewing on desktop/tablet (Letter/A4 size) and mobile screen (say, iPhone screen)?

For example, I want to have my fancy header and footer displayed when viewing on desktop/tablet but, when the document is viewed on iPhone, the header and footer is not shown so that content is display as much as possible in the small screen size.

Where did the ONLINE PICTURES option go in WORD?

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:32 AM PST

A few weeks ago, I clicked on Insert:Online Pictures in Word and the only two options that appeared were a Bing Search Box and a One Drive (Personal).  There WAS an additional option above these for Microsoft Online and now it has disappeared.  Is this something I have done to my computer or something that can be fixed with a setting?    It if helps-I am running Office 2013 from a Windows 8 operating system.

It is comforting to known there were images to use without the hassle of accidentally engaging in copyright infringement through the Online Pictures Option and now this option has disappeared.  We are unable to produce our flyers and educational powerpoints without this option.  It diminishes (for me) the need for Word specifically for organizational purposes as a word processing software.  However, I love it for writing research papers and collaborating with peers.  I am forlorn.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there a new practice in 2015 and I missed the memo?  

Thanks greatly to any responders. 

word 2013 help - Error in instructions.

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 10:05 AM PST

Trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts in Word 2013. I click on the "?" and get to word help. Enter "keyboard shortcuts," press enter. 

At the Intro section, it says:
To expand all sections of the article, press TAB until Show all is selected, and then press ENTER. Press ENTER again to collapse all sections.

When I press and hold tab down, it just toggles through the whole document. When I press it once, it goes to the next heading. It never does show me a command "show all."  But, if I expand the first section "finding and using keyboard shortcuts," it expands all of the sections.  Clearly not what the instruction says.

Also, if I hit SHIFT-TAB, it expands all sections and goes to the bottom of the page. Hitting tab again takes me to an unnamed icon, which collapses the whole article. Maybe that is the mystery "show all" icon, but not likely, as it doesn't appear until all sections are expanded.


My take is that whoever is doing the help section needs more than a little bit of proofreading and testing, particularly from the point of view of people unfamiliar with the program. (I am in no way a newbie, but found this process to be quite frustrating.) 


I may just be a creature of habit, but I also miss the table of contents.

highlighting text copies it to clipboard

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:29 AM PST

a weird bug just started showing up in Microsoft Word. I'm using office 2013 in Windows 8 64-bit. Suddenly, just highlighting text copies it to the clipboard, which means that I can't copy a piece of text, highlight what I run to replace, and hit paste – it just shows me what I highlighted. I've looked through the program and searched and can't seem to find any sort of option to enable or disable this. it's wasting a lot of my time. Any of you smart folks out there know how to fix it?

how to turn off flashing grey highlight when navigating through a document

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 09:25 AM PST

Just installed Word 2013, not the 365 version.

When I navigate through a document (for example arrow up), the entire document above where my cursor is highlighted in grey, for a flash, and then goes away. 

Visually, this is very distracting. I just want to be able to arrow up and have the cursor go up the document without anything else being highlighted or greyed or anything. 

How do I turn off this "feature?" 

Thanks in advance,

Word for iPad keeps trying and failing to connect

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 08:38 AM PST

I've been using word for iPad for months. Recently, when trying to save to one drive, the software will try to connect, then stop, then restart, over and over. Here's a video:

Office 2007 help files do not display properly

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 07:27 AM PST

My local computer help files in Office 2007 are not displaying properly.  The html source is shown and the message


This message might not be displayed properly. The content of the webpage does not match the type specified by the server.Click for options.


If I click and select Show Restricted Content, the page renders properly.  However I have to go through this process each time I request information. The ONLINE version of help also displays the same message briefly but then renders the correct information.


I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and also have Office 2000 installed. I have tried


1. Renaming Microsoft Help folder in Program Data and then using Office diagnose and repair. This rebuilt the Help file but did not eliminate the problem.


2. Uninstalling Office 7 and Reinstalling it. This did not help.


3. Adding office http://office.microsoft.com and https://office.microsoft.com to trusted internet sites in Internet Explorer. This did not help.

Is there some fix for this?


iPad apps keep signing out

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 06:42 AM PST

Every time I open Word on my iPad, it is not logged-in to my 365 account. When I log-in, it works, but if I leave the app and come back, sure enough, I'm logged-out again. This is PAINFUL, since the login process is so laborious. This didn't used to happen, seems only in the last few weeks. I'm running the current iOS and apps (no updates available for either). 

this relates to the iPad, but I had to select "iPhone" in the drop down box when posting this question, since iPad is bizarrely absent from the list.

Macro Doesn't work

This macro fails at the last line. It has always worked in the past.

When I stop the macro at the next to the last line and hi-lite +mgFound I get

rngFound.Offset(0, 1)= <Object variable or With block variable not set>

Just ran macro - now I get

rngFound.Offset(0, 1)=55 but it doesn't copy the data to any line

Word (Office 2013)

Problem resolved

Words are not wrapping even to bottom margin

Posted: 25 Jan 2015 02:52 AM PST

Hello:

I'm working on a novel with no images inside...strictly words, and the text is not wrapping down to the bottom margin. I'm having to break up paragraphs to fill up that space because Word is somehow taking that whole paragraph and putting it on the next page as a whole, not wrapping the text onto the next page.

For example, I'll have a long paragraph:

I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as I headed in the direction of the village. Fear kept me going although my legs now felt like jelly. I still hoped this was but just a dream. I pinched myself and I felt pain. This wasn't a dream. At least I knew why the murderer was after my life. But what about the other two? 

It won't just fill up that last line on the bottom of the page with, for instance, this section below (it's a 5 X 8 book size), and put the remainder of that paragraph on the next page.

I've been a hunter long enough to know short cuts. I jumped over shrubs as

It's taking the whole paragraph over into the next page, creating a big blank space on the previous page. Is there some setting that I can turn this off?

Thanks to everyone who answers! I'm using Word 2013.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS ...

2.1. Topic b1 ...

After the level 1 with I, II, III, ..., I would like the level 1 to be represented as numbers on the follow-on levels (2-9).

Removing bad Office 2007 and Installing trail

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 07:33 AM PDT

If you installed one version of Office you should use the add remove
dialogue to uninstall that version, then clean up temp files (Disk Cleanup)
re boot your PC prior to installing another version of Office

The installation key you may have will only work on the version it was
supplied for.
Does download mean install from Disk or Internet download? and if internet
download did you save the download file?
Do you have any version of Office on cd/dvd, if so what versions?

As Carey says -

There is no SP3 for Office 2007. There IS an SP3 for Office 2003, and there
is an SP1 for Office 2007. There is also an SP3 for Windows XP, and an SP1
for Windows Vista. So, which SP did you actually apply?

You may want to uninstall and reinstall your Office, just to ensure you have
the right stuff there.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Since the most possible cause has been eliminated. I suggest you consider
the following situation:

1. Check if all the emails the user send out show up as " com
"? and everyone else see the same thing from their Outlook client?

This issue may occur if a faker use that user's name as sender to pretend
sending email to others. Therefore, people will see " com "
instead of AD display name because this email is not actually sent from the
genuine user. This situation may occur when sender use SMTP command to
telnet your SMTP server's 25 port and send email with fake sender address.
To test it, let the user send out email to everyone using Outlook with his
own profile and see if issue persists.

Telnet to Port 25 to Test SMTP Communication
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119/en-us>

2. If the issue persists, please send me a test from that user if possible,
my email address is com

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

Local/Server Size difference

Posted: 28 Jun 2008 05:34 PM PDT

Sorry for not including more details.

I have one FE and one BE server, each running Exchange 2003SP2.

All clients are running Outlook 2003 in cached mode with the exception of a
few network administrators (self included) running Outlook 2007.

I first saw this problem on my mailbox. I solved it by moving all my mail
into a PST and then moving it all back. I am now seeing it on several
users- a more than 200mb deltak between their local and their server mailbox
size. Each folder has a delta, and the larger the folder, the larger the
delta.

I tried using PFDAVADMIN but I got an error that the connection timed out
when I tried to view objects under "inbox".

Also, do you know what causes this? It hasn't been a problem (at least
visibly) for the last few years and nothing has really changed in terms of
antivirus, server role, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated.

error moving mailboxes

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 12:17 PM PDT

I rarely reboot my exchange servers because my users are spoiled and think
they can't do without it, but this morning I rebooted the ex2000 server that
I was trying to move mb's from and was then able to move the mailboxes.

Sometimes all it really does take is a reboot.

Thanks for your help!

I was referred to it today with a question I asked but it also has a little
section about intercepting mail.
Scroll down to the Sender Filtering section and read it all

Windows Mobile email issue

Posted: 24 Jun 2008 11:51 AM PDT

John,

I have checked the IIS logging file and did some testing. The following are
the testing that I did:

1. Receving a normal email.

2. Receiving a VM notification email.

After receiving both of the above, I looked at the IIS log and compared the
two logs. The two logs are identical, except for the fact that the VM
notification email log has a few extra lines at the beginning of the log,
which is the following:

2008-06-30 21:30:26 192.168.3.5 UNSUBSCRIBE
/ExchDAV/com/ - 80 PACER\user1 192.168.3.5
Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/6.5.7638.1 207 0 0

2008-06-30 21:30:26 192.168.3.5 POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync
User=user1&DeviceId=0B4A738CDB9C80D1B7745EB69FF4AB E6&DeviceType=PocketPC&Cmd=Ping&Log=V4TNASNC:0A0C0 D0FS:0A0C0D0SP:1C17I37497S2309356R0S0L900H0P
443 domainname\user1 166.190.32.5 MSFT-PPC/5.2.404 200 0 0



As I have mentioned previously, I used Treo 650 (with Good Mobile Messaging)
and did not have this problem, but I have not tried using ActiveSync with
any other device. The provider does not think that it is a problem on their
end, and I am also not sure if it is or not at this point.





TIA,

Alex

Outlook and Word keep crashing on Windows 8

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 02:47 PM PST

I looked through your threads about Outlook and Word crashing. I opened Winword in Safe mode and it still crashed. It says:

We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that prevents it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result.

Would you like us to repair now?

And the choices are - Repair Now, Help, Close

The same thing happens with Outlook. This didn't used to happen until recently (like only in January). So far excel seems to be doing ok.

Please help!

Thanks!

How to graph quadratic equations on Word 10

Help with Word 2007 Recovery from Cryptowall 2.0

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:52 AM PST

A few months back, my computer was infected with Cryptowall 2.0 a ransomware virus that makes an encrypted copy of certain files, deletes the original files and then demands a ransom to unlock the encryption.  I was able to remove the virus without paying the ransom, but not before the damage was done to all of my documents.  Luckily, the computer was relatively new and I didn't lose a lot, but I have a lingering problem with Word 2007, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

I can create and open documents just fine.  I can edit a header or footer by hovering over the header or footer, right-clicking and selecting "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer"  However, if I go through the menu: INSERT >> HEADER (or FOOTER) I get the popup decrypt instructions left over from the cryptowall attack, which gives instructions on how to pay the ransom.  I get the same popup if I select INSERT >> TEXT BOX (or QUICK PARTS)

When

When this appears, I can click OK or Cancel or click the X and it gives me popups for a couple of gyrations.

During the first gyration, when I click OK there is an error message that Word cannot open this document template. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.TXT

When I click OK on that message, I get another popup:

If I click OK I get a message that: The add-in template is not valid. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.URL

If I click OK on this one I finally get the menu item I selected and am able to proceed.  From that point on, I can use any of the menu items as I normally would, and I can create new documents and I'm able to use the menu normally.  So, it's a problem that repeats only when I close and reopen Word.

I haven't noticed any problem with other sections of the menu, although I haven't tested every function.

I've tried uninstalling Word 2007 completely and reinstalling from an uncorrupted source, but it didn't help.  

One of the aftereffects of this attack is that my computer had numerous instances of the text file and URL files referenced above, in all sorts of directories.  I have removed them, but the Word problem still persists

Any suggestions of what I might try next?  Thank you for your help!

Word for iPad and Apple QuickType?

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:00 AM PST

I created a new Word document on my iPad and typed in a few paragraphs.  The document autosaved to OneDrive.

Later, I opened the document in Word 2013 on my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 3.  A few words were missing in the middle of sentences.  Here's an example...

Should be: "I am here because I am going to the gym."

Word document has: "I am here because   going   ."

I think it's because I added the missing words with QuickType.  (That's the keyboard accelerator in iOS8 that predicts what word you want next.)  I went back to my iPad, and it re-downloaded the file from OneDrive, and the words were now missing on iPad.  I am confident they were there in the original version.  These were also not the last words I entered, so I doubt it's just a failure to save the last few edits.

I'm using Word 1.5.2 for iPad, posted Jan 21, 2015.  I tested this again with a new, second document, and a similar problem occurred.

This seems like a bug, but I'm wondering if I just have something misconfigured somewhere, or if something is wrong with my iPad.  Anybody else seeing this?

How to keep formatting when pasting between 2 Word 2007 documents

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:30 AM PST

I do a lot of copy and pasting between documents in Word 2007.  I need the pasted dialogue to use the Styles of the document I'm pasting into.  Is there any way to set my options so that pasting will always use the Use Destination Styles instead of Keep Source Formatting?

As you can see I do have my Word Options set to Keep Source Formatting (Default).

However, unless I use the copy formatting button pasted selections always show up with no formatting.  Does anyone know how I can make pasting always use Destination Styles without having to go through using that little button every time?

Desktop Backgrounds - Adapting Square Pics to Rectangular

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:02 AM PST

Office 2010 - Windows-7 x64

********

We have pictures of grandchildren we want to add to the Desktop Background. Horizontal Pixels 540 - Vertical Pixels 596.

This is a problem as the monitor is rectangular, monitor size 1920 x 1080.

A way around this would be to centre the picture and add wide, white colored margins to both sides of the picture.

This does not appear possible in either Paint or Microsoft Office 2010. Short of printing the picture and photographing it on a larger white background, then cropping. All of which is both tedious and will lose picture resolution.

Any ideas? 

Auto spacing before or after paragraph. What does it mean?

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 08:39 AM PST

I would have thought that Word's Help system would answer this question, but it does not.

In Word 2013 (as well as all versions before it), one can set the spacing before or after a paragraph as Auto.

What does Auto do? How much spacing is used? Does the spacing depend upon the font size? Does it depend upon the corresponding settings for the previous or the following paragraph?

What is the exact definition?

Thanks,

Van

Content Controls, Another flaw exposed and general rantings

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 08:13 AM PST

Despite long unresolved general shortcomings (due INHO to shortsightedness on MS behalf), I remain a staunch advocate of Content Controls.  Today, and I'm surprised not much sooner, I was made aware of a serious flaw with Repeating Section content controls introduced in Word 2013.   As the following post/reply in the Word Answer forum illustrates, the association with Repeating Section CCs and restricted or protected forms appears to be broken:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-customize/repeating-section-content-controls-and-restrict/66760ab6-7b92-4791-a316-ecd4cb52f89d

It seems reasonable that a fully functional Repeating Section content control should be easily associated with a restricted form.

Assume, I create a two column table and put fixed text in column one e.g., "Dependent's Name:"  and a plain text content control in column two e.g., "Click here to enter."  I then wrap the table in a repeating section content control.  Then make the RS CC a editable region, then restrict editing.  Ideally, the user should be able to add new section and fill in the content controls in each section, but the fixed text should be locked and not editable by the user.

It simply doesn't work that way.  In fact, it doesn't work at all unless one takes the pains to replicate the convoluted process explained in the post above.  That process, while working,  the CC "content control cannot be edited" property is not under the umbrella of any password the document designer might apply to the editing restriction therefore exposing the form to potential tampering by the user.

If Microsoft has an ear, let them hear.  You've been tinkering with CCs for going on 10 years, but still you've left them half baked.  Here are some things I would like to see fixed.  Others reading, please add to the list:

1.  You've given us an OnEntry and OnExit event.  Now give us a change event.  If a novice VBA dabbler like myself can cobble together a custom change event, then surely your pool of wizards and improve it:  http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_control_custom_events.html

2.  You've given us a pseudo change event when working with Dropdown List or Combo Boxes and a CustomXMLPart (ContentControlBeforeContentUpdate), but you don't let us have access to the document object while in the event.  For example, it would be nice if while the event is executed (e.g., changing a dropdown from "Yes" to "No" that we could show or hide text in a document, or jump to a new location, or change the cell shading of a table cell, etc.

3.  Fix the incomprehensively stupid behavior of CC placeholder text showing up in printed documents.  After all how do you "Click here to enter text" on a printed page.

4.  Fix the association of Repeating Section CCs and restricted forms.

Thanks.

Text wrap around image not working

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 03:39 AM PST

I have been using word for any years (2003, 2007, 2010) and currently use word in office 365.  I know how to wrap text around a photo or image and have never had a problem before.  Although I have encountered one now.  I cannot get the words in the text box to wrap around a photo or image.  I have tried tight, square, in line, both with the text box and the image.  I've tried bringing them forward and backward.  I'm googled the answer and still cannot get it work.  This is actually driving me crazy because I know how to do it but it's just not working. 

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?
