| Text box formatting issues from Office for Mac to Office 365 Posted: 02 Feb 2015 02:34 PM PST Just got a new Dell computer and when I transferred over and opened one of my Word files that had been created on my Mac using Office for Mac, some of the text boxes had been changed so that each line was its' own object. So if I had a text box, say, that had 10 lines in it, there is now one big object that contains 10 smaller objects, one for each line of text. Obviously I want them to be combined again into just one text box like they were. Any suggestions? Thanks so much - |

| Lock a table size Posted: 02 Feb 2015 11:07 AM PST Is it possible to lock the size of a table in Word 2013 so that when columns are added, they are automatically resized to fit within the specified table size? I am building internal-branding-compliant templates to be used by our less sophisticated Word users, and they complain that when they add a column to the table, it increases the table width so that it no longer fits the template. If it's possible to lock the table width and make new columns autofit the table width, that would be my ideal solution, but I've tried every combination of "exactly" width settings and "automatically resize to fit contents" and still when I add a column, the table becomes wider. Any suggestions? |

| VBA in final merged document Posted: 02 Feb 2015 07:59 AM PST Hi, I'm sure this has been listed somewhere but as I'm not entirely sure what i'm doing (still learning) maybe I have not searched the right terms or something. Basically we use word outputs from templates and merged with data from the webpage the user is currently looking at, the macro's containing the merge etc are stored in a seperate template to the output template and linked etc, these are dotm files. To date most of the merge stuff has been pretty simple but they now want to try to do some forms the users fill in, the input boxes are activex etc and I can lock the document from editing so they can only fill in the fields after the merge has happened, that all works fine. The problem is that I have a submit button on the form, this saves the document, puts it to outlook and sends to a certain address, I can get this to work perfectly on the template file but then as soon as I run the merge the VBA is no longer in the outputted document and the button does nothing, also there are some check boxes that they can only choose one option so if another box is selected the other unticks, again the VBA is missing from the final output. How do i get the VBA to appear in the output document? I really hope that makes sense. Many Thanks |
| Word 2013 stuck in Draft mode (no Endnote) Posted: 02 Feb 2015 07:00 AM PST Word 2013 is relatively unstable for me (using lenovo x230 Table running Win 7 Enterprise). I almost got used to its inability to save documents, but yesterday it started to get stuck in Draft mode. I don't use any add-ons (like Endnote, which typically causes this problem). I use change tracking. Every once in a while (~ 2x a day for me) Word crashes. When I restart and reopen the document, Word is stuck in Draft mode, and I cannot get it back to Print Layout (or even Web layout). When I click the other view modes, it does nothing. The main work area goes white, when I scroll, it reverts to Draft mode. Reading layout still works fine though. Page % zooming works, but fixed zoom levels (eg page width) don't. There does not seem to be a distinction whether compatiblity mode is on or off.
The weirdest thing is that if I somehow manage to get it back to print view (I couldn't quite pin down what helped), the page settings are changed that of my viewport in web layout (ie typically from portrait to landscape, and margins set to half of the page). Is there any way to prevent this from happening or any workaround to fix once it already happened? Thanks a lot! |
| Word 2013 multiple users, same colors for some Posted: 02 Feb 2015 06:54 AM PST I'm working on a document that shows changes for about six users. All but two of the users have different colors. Two users have the same colors. How can I separate the two colors, so I can identify who made which change in this color, without hovering my cursor over every single change? (I tried shutting everything down, logging off, and getting back on, and the problem did not resolve itself.) |
| Macro to import styles Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:32 AM PST Word 2007. I have a lot of older Word documents that I want to update with my current set styles. Is there a macro that will import the styles from my Normal dot file? I've tried creating one with the Run command, but it doesn't work. It results in an error. It wants to import the styles into the document I had open when I created the macro!

| Add text above table on page Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:20 AM PST I have an existing document which contain several tables. Above each table I want to enter a line of text, although for some tables they allways start on top op a page and I am unable to add a single line just above the table. Most likely it has to do with the table properties, but I cannot find the differences of these tables. What could cause the table not to be able to add an empty line above it ? |
| Copying , Pasting and editting Posted: 02 Feb 2015 05:19 AM PST I am having difficulty in finding how I go about copy and pasting from a website ( my workplace) a table/date base type format) listing and placing it on a word (2007) document so That I may edit/or add it it. When I am forced to work from home due to weather I need to make calls. I go to my company website and highlight the listing of those I need to call. I then paste onto a Word. I attempt to put notes on the document so I can forward to my boss who then adds information required for me to use. I guess because it is formatted on the website I am unable to add in a logical manner. Can anyone please give me any suggestions, advice? All will be helpful |

| Concurrent Review using Word Posted: 02 Feb 2015 02:28 AM PST Hi, would anyone be able to tell me whether the new version of Word allows for concurrent review or whether there are any bolt ons that might enable this? By concurrent review my challenge is this - An author creates a document and then sends it out to 5 people to review - either the five people need to review in series (each taking the annotated version from the reviewer before them), or they can do it concurrently but will/may/(should? :)) all raise the same review comments. MS Access works on the principle of a real time file - is it possible that with the new One Drive tech MS Word is going to allow the same for reviews. I.e. I send out a doc for review to 5 people, then they all access the same file and see other peoples review comments being added in real time (if they are reviewing at the same time). Any ideas would be gratefully received Thanks,
Greg

| When Click Office 2013 No Response or Reaction Posted: 02 Feb 2015 01:05 AM PST The problem is when we click office 2013, there is no reaction at all. Even the safe mode cannot start. If we see task manager, there is no process at all . |
| Customize Word 2013 start screen (templates) Posted: 01 Feb 2015 11:44 PM PST On the opening screen of Word 2013 I would like to show my company's templates instead of Microsoft.com's. So in fact I would like to show the contents of the personal tab directly instead of having everyone click personal each time. Is that possible? I have already found that I can pin a personal template to the start screen. Is it possible to distribute this setting to my colleagues (eg via office policy or registry settings)? Cheers, Birgit |
| Merge cells (Excel and Word) Posted: 01 Feb 2015 09:58 PM PST Hi Microsoft Community, I am just in the process of formatting multiple tables.
To avoid a lot of tedious work, I would like to know if it is possible to merge selected rows. As soon as more than one pair are highlighted, the merge option is disabled. In the image below I would like to concurrently merge cells so that the cell reads "65±8", "1107 49.80"%" and so on. Is this possible in Word or Excel? (I have tried both with no success)
Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

| Word 2013 Find not working Posted: 01 Feb 2015 07:50 PM PST I recently upgraded from 2006 to 2013, but am having a strange issue. I edit my own documents that I then make into ePub files. When I am checking the .docx files, I use the Find/Replace function to highlight the Italicized typing and edit as needed. However, I have noticed (to my dismay) that when I use Find Next and the next occurrence is over a Page line, Word fails to Gray-highlight the occurrence. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening? Please? |
| MsgBox in Word 2010 Posted: 01 Feb 2015 06:40 PM PST I have a form where, at one point, the user tabs through a list. As the cursor lands on each item in the list, the user is asked if they want to delete or retain that particular item. I need to give the user the additional option of changing the item in the list. Therefore: 1. Is it possible to change the options in a MsgBox from "Yes" / "No" to "Yes" / "No" / "Change text"? 2. If this is possible, how is it done? 3. If this is possible, how do I then allow the user to enter text if they select "Change text"? Each item in the list is a text form field from the Legacy Forms. |

| lost files using Microsoft Word 2013 Posted: 01 Feb 2015 04:57 PM PST I was using word to create a document and saving as i went, at the time my laptop was connected to the internet so it was always being backed up online aswel. Over the last week i had to use my laptop (and the word document) offline, but i was still saving the word document after each session on there. (I'm guessing to just the C drive as no internet for online). Today I turned my laptop on (it now has internet connection) and opened the document, it briefly showed my last paragraph i saved (when i was working offline), but then it disappeared. All that document now shows is the work i initially saved whilst laptop was previously connected to the internet. Everything i created whilst working offline is nowhere to be found. Does anyone have an idea to get back what i saved whilst working offline? im using windows 8. thank you. |
| word 2013 Posted: 01 Feb 2015 04:25 PM PST ok...so my wife is using word 2013 and a weird problem has come up. When she saves a document and then reopens it, the page layout is all messed up. It says it is 13 inches wide and doesn't show page breaks. She has a certain template she has to follow for her school and with these problems, she can't do so. We have checked the page layout, it says the paper is 8.5x11, the margins are correct, the orientation is correct, we have show page breaks checked......this is very frustrating. I have even uninstalled and re-installed office and that didn't work either. Any help would be most appreciated. |
| Latvian Language Pack for Word 2013 does not work Posted: 01 Feb 2015 03:16 PM PST I purchased the Latvian Language Pack for Word 2013. I installed the 32-bit version. I went to Options and Language, added it, and said it is the default language. This setting does not hold, because the default is always English. If I go to the bottom of the screen and change to Latvian, it does not display Latvian characters. Any suggestions? Thank you.
