Microsoft Word - How do I change endnote numbering to numbers?


How do I change endnote numbering to numbers?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 02:44 PM PST

I have recently started using endnotes for a large document.  I expected the end notes and the references to them would be numbers (1, 2, 3,...), but instead they are Latin letters (i, ii, iii, etc.).

I tried to change the endnote reference style, but it had no option for changing the numbering scheme.

I tried to play around with list numbering, but nothing seemed to apply to endnotes.

Am I stuck with Latin numbering for endnotes, or is there a way around this that I haven't thought of yet?

Thanks in advance.

Linking Excel Objects to a Word document

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 12:05 PM PST

I'm trying to link information from an Excel sheet into some admission forms and the fields are not updating themselves automatically.  I've gone into the Advanced Options and made sure the 'Update automatic links at open' is checked.  When I change the info in Excel, the Word document doesn't update to reflect the new information, even when I save the Excel file.

When I hover over 'Update automatic links at open' I get a little message that says "This option is not available for the view your current document is in."  I've tried changing the document view but that doesn't do anything either.  Is there something I'm missing?  What do I need to do to make this work?

2013 word printing

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 10:06 AM PST

I typed a document in Word that I sent out to a class I am teaching.  I added notes for my use to the document, saved it using a different name.  When I try to print the newly saved document, it only prints the added comments, not the original text.  I tried saving it as a PDF and printing, but same results.  I read other comments on this problem, but do not understand the references to "bubble", etc.  I not not a highly skilled user of Word.  Any ideas for someone like me?

Hide/Unhide Header/Footer

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:49 AM PST

Hello,

In our agency, we have created templates that contain the different letterheads that we use. On a couple of our PCs, when those templates are opened, the header/footer section is hidden.  How do you show/hide Headers and Footers?

I haven't found an option to do that.

Thanks

Is it possible to reset the merge record to starting record with Word mail merge?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:44 AM PST

I have a 4 up postcard template that I want to personalize on one side and print the mailing address on the reverse.

Currently, it merges the first 4 cards (side 1) with the excel worksheet but when it gets to the reverse side it continues with record #5.

I need a way to revert to record #1 - more correctly to the first record selected from the data list - for side 2.

Turning off "Show pixels for HTML features"

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 09:01 AM PST

When setting paragraph spacings and table parameters I want to used points (for text spacing) or cm for column widths etc.  These all appear as px.  When I turn off "Show pixels for HTML features" I get the units I want.

However next time I open the document for editing pixels are enabled again.  How do I get Word to remember the setting?

Hi folks,

Word crashing several times a day

Which template is the attached template when there are multiple templates with the same name on the computer?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 06:51 AM PST

Although Word 2013 is shown as the base, this applies to Word 2003, 2007, 2010 as well.

I had thought that the attached template would always be the template used to create the document unless that template was not available or someone changed the attached template. I was mistaken.

I recently had the opportunity/excuse to test what happens if there are multiple templates with the same name. I was surprised by the results.

If a template with the same name is in the folder containing the document, that becomes the attached template.

If a template with the same name is in the User Templates folder and there is none in the document folder, that template becomes the attached template.

If a template with the same name is in the Workgroup Templates folder and there is none in the document's folder nor in the user templates folder, that template becomes the attached template.

The Custom Office Templates folder is not searched.

If a template exists on one of those three locations and you try to attach a template of the same name that is located elsewhere or lower in the hierarchy, Word will not do it. If you create a document based on a template with the same name as one in one of those locations, the document will be attached to the original template when you create it, but when you reopen it, it will attach to the template in the preferred location.

Templates of the same name stored in sub folders of the User Templates or Workgroup Templates folder do not have this attribute.

I have memorialized these findings in my Templates page.

Which template is attached if there are multiple templates with the same name

The testing was done using Word 2003-2013 on a laptop running Windows 8.1. If anyone wishes to test on a different operating system to see if they get different results I welcome it.

Anyone experiencing problems with the attached template should also review Shauna Kelly's page:

Page up/down shortcuts in Word 2013 / Win 8.1

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 02:56 AM PST

Good Afternoon everyone, 

I hope you can help me with the problem I'm experiencing. 

on windows 8.1 and Word 2013 you can use the CTRL+Page Down / Page UP to scroll through the document by quickly alternating between pages. you can also use CTRL+Home to go back to the start of the document. 

however when I use CTRL+F to search for the keyword and then clear the keyword from search box and close the search menu upon pressing CTRL+Page UP word takes me to the next keyword instead of scrolling to the next page. so CTRL+Page UP / Page Down is used as Find Previous / Find Next command instead of fulfilling page scrolling actions. 

I have cleared the keyword from search and from advanced search but it's still looking for that keyword when i press CTRL+Page Up/ Page Down.

could you assist please?

Edit format CITATIONS in word 2013

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 01:37 AM PST

Hi everyone!

I am working with word and trying to edit the format from my citation but don't know how to do it. 

I am using format IEEE, which means that my citations look like: [1] [2] [3] etc I found out how to manage to get two citations together in brackets: [1,2].

The PROBLEM is that if I have such case: [1, 2, 3, 4], I would like to get look like this [1-4] but I dont know how to do it...  or even if gets more complicated like this: [1, 6, 7, 8], to get something like this: [1, 6-8]. 

Does anyone know how I can do it? prob I have to do it directly from the code right? " CITATION AJe13 \l 1031 " but I don't know either how this code works...

Thank you very much for your help! :-)

Word 2010 custom document properties - how can I see them outside Word and do they copy across when saved as PDF and ultimately uploaded to SharePoint?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 01:04 AM PST

I want to add some custom metadata to Word documents which will go on to be saved as PDFs and ultimately uploaded to a SharePoint 365 / Online library (where I want to be able to read the custom metadata fields and display them).

I've worked out that I can add custom document properties to a document when it's open in Word 2010 by doing Developer > Document Panel, then choosing Advanced Properties from the Document Properties drop-down control to open the Properties dialog, then choosing the Custom tab and adding custom properties. Alternatively I can do File > Info, then use the Properties drop-down control just below the file preview image in the right-hand panel to get to the same dialog box and do the same thing.

I've added properties such as

Doc. No.

Doc. No. Prefix

Tech. Authority

Rev. No.

etc

So far, so good.

However will these custom properties be retained when I save the document as a PDF using the File > Save As command? I can't easily tell because Windows 7 File Explorer doesn't seem to show custom file properties in the panel along the bottom when I click on a the resulting PDF file. In fact Windows 7 File Explorer doesn't seem to show the custom file properties of the original Word 2010 file either.

I know it's entering into Windows 7 territory rather than just Word 2010 territory, but is there a way to view the custom properties I assigned to Word 2010 docx file when I've not got the file open i.e. either by some extension to Windows 7 File Explorer or some other simple to use utility? Ideally I'd want to be able to check the custom properties also stayed with the PDF version of the file too.

Word and Excel 2013 (Office 365) unexpectedly closing

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 12:11 AM PST

Good morning

In the last week I've had instances of both Word and Excel closing down without my asking it to and without it asking me if I want to save my work.  When I reopen the programmes the "recover documents" panel doesn't start.  In the case of Word, the file was coming up blank (there had been a page of text) and no previous versions were available.  In the case of Excel, again, "recover documents" didn't come up but there were previous versions.  The odd thing here was that I have auto save set to 1 minute but it hadn't autosaved for about 15 mins before it closed down.

I vaguely wondered whether Dragon Naturally Speaking (ver 12.5) might be causing a problem - although on neither occasion was the programme running - so I've since disabled the add on in Word and Excel.

I've also done a complete virus scan but there's no sign of anything there.

I'd  be grateful for any suggestions as I'm using these programmes for work and I can't afford to lose work in this way.

Many thanks

Cath

OneDrive + Word 2013 = Unable to Open Docs Based Upon Templates

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 09:29 PM PST

I am running Word 2013 on two different systems.  The first is Windows 7 Pro fully updated via Windows Update.  The second is Windows 8.1 Pro fully updated via Windows Update.  My Office installation is fully updated on both systems.

My document templates are stored on OneDrive in a directory named "Templates".  Word 2013 is configured on both computers to look at the OneDrive directory for templates.

Recently, when I attempt to open documents based upon templates stored in OneDrive, Word 2013 will freeze at the banner screen trying to open the source template (e.g. "sometemplate.dotx"). The location of the document to be edited makes no difference.

On both systems I can open Word 2013 in safe mode and edit the document.  On the Windows 7 system I am able to exit the OneDrive application and, voilà, Word 2013 functions normally.  On the Windows 8 system I can terminate the OneDrive Sync Engine process and, voilà, Word 2013 functions normally.

I have seen a number of different posts discussing similar, but not identical, issues when working with Word 2013 and OneDrive.  Can anyone offer any insight on this?  Killing OneDrive while editing documents renders OneDrive's utility virtually nil.

Thanks for your help.

Word 2010 template given to a 2007 user problems

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 09:29 PM PST

I am using Word 2010 and have created a template and have used the template to create many documents for a client.  He needs to print extra copies of these files and will later modify the documents.  When he opens the files some of the headings which are part of a multilevel list have tab characters in them and are indented incorrectly.  I have tried highlighting the paragraph and pressing <Ctrl><Q>, but that does nothing for this document.

I create a multilevel list and saved it with the template and everything works fine on my computer.  Also some paragraphs in the multilevel list do not have any numbering with them. I gave him a copy of my template, but that did not help with the original files.  I can use his computer to create a new document based on the template and copy the contents of the original file into the new template and everything looks great, headings are properly indented and numbering for paragraphs are working.  To do this to every document will be time consuming as there are bookmarks and reference fields that need to be entered from scratch.  Any help will be appreciated.

Office .doc formats

How do I save Word documents in .doc format instead of .docx? 

Create a drop down list in Office 2013 and export content to clipboard.

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 06:44 PM PST

I would like to create a document template in Microsoft Word that contains some info along with 2-3 separate drop down lists. After the user selects their choices from the drop down list, I would like them to be able copy all of the information to their clipboard (so they could paste it into another program in a text format)

So my question is:

Will it be possible for users to copy the info listed in the template along with their specific choices in the drop-down menu?

Can this be achieved in Word 2013?

Thanks in advance,

Microsoft® Office Home and Student 2007 Online Download

Posted: 21 Jul 2008 12:54 PM PDT

I received it when I Ordered Mircrosoft Office Home And Student 2007 Online.
I also got it in an E-Mail.

For some reason It's Installed the Trial Version of Microsoft Office
Professional 2007 and not Mircrosoft Office Home And Student 2007. They say
that's the reason why the Product Key isn't working.

Sounds like a Con to me

E-Mailed them back again asking for them to give me the correct Product Key

Unless anyone else has any Bright ideas on how to fix this problem.

If its a trial version you would have to ask the supplier of your Laptop hp
However if your trial version has expired you have to purchase Office - the
most cost affective way is usually via amazon.com
And you uninstall any trial prior to installing your retail version

Find the CD for the upgrade eligible program on the old computer and use it

your old computer after using it to upgrade on the new one and if it was an

Hi Booker,

My understanding is that http:// protocol sites with wildcards aren't supported in the 2007 Office Customization Tool (OCT) under
'Office security settings'

Since you'd generally be accessing a website domain via a browser, you could place that domain in Internet Explorer's Trusted Zone.

============
<<"booker@mgt" <gatech.edu> wrote in message news:com...

For trusted locations and path, it says

Path-Enter the path of the trusted location. Enter a fully qualified path
with drive letter or UNC path. The path can include environment variables.

So my entries of *.domainname.com and http://*.domainname.com may not be
valid?

it does not seem like it, so ultimately the question is, how do I tell
Office to trust anything from my *.domainname.com domain >>

I've already tried to change the Mergefield option \# $#,##0.00 or \# $#,###.00 and it does not work at all. It trunks the number to 1.23 which is one thousand times smaller.

How do I implement automatic conditional paragraph or header spacing?

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 02:28 AM PST

I have a set of documents with hierarchical numbered headings. I want there to be 18 points of white space between the last paragraph of text and an H1 or H2 heading which follows it, or 12 points of white space between the last paragraph of text and an H3 heading which follows it. If the paragraph is followed by another text paragraph or a bulleted list entry I want the spacing to be only 6 points. Is there a way to have this happen automatically?

I tried setting an 18 point "before" spacing in the H1 and H2 styles but then I get the 18 points of white space between an H1 and an H2 heading when one follows straight after the other. I don't want that at all.

The best I've managed is to define two three paragraph styles - one with 6 points of "after" space (for most text paragraphs), another with 12 points of "after" space for text paragraphs which are followed by an H3 heading, and a third with 18 points of "after" space for text paragraphs which are followed by an H1 or H2 heading. However this relies on the user remembering to select the correct text paragraph style as well as remembering to change it if he or she changes the heading level of the following heading. That's putting too much reliance on the person editing the document, and mis-formatting is bound to creep in.

Is there a way to automate this within the styles?

Note that I have considered writing a macro to run after all other editing is complete, which would go through each paragraph in turn and tweak the spacing, but that seems clumsy and would also mean the user has to go through the document again to check that the tweaks the macro has done don't mess up the pagination (there are occasions when I can envisage wanting to override the spacing to keep a single short paragraph of text from running over onto a new page).

Hoping someone can suggest a better way forward,

How do I implement chapter running headers with no header on first page when there are extra section breaks around?

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 01:55 AM PST

Apologies if I've asked a similar question before under a different guise, but I'm still groping around for a good solution.

I want to implement running chapter headers with the running header suppressed on the first page of each chapter.

All chapter titles are formatted using the H1 style.

Not all chapters start on a new page. That's not too much of a problem because STYLEREF will pick up the last H1 style if I set it to search from the bottom of the page.

The real problem is that the document switches from one column to two column format within chapters, so there will be additional section breaks dotted about on pages that aren't the first page of a chapter. I therefore can't rely on using the "different first page" feature of Word headers to suppress the header on the first page of a chapter.

So far the best I've managed is to manually implement running header suppression on the first page of every chapter after the document has been written by manually adding an empty white text box over the running header on the first page of every chapter. However this is a chore and of course if I later edit the document (these are technical manuals and must evolve with the product they describe) the white text boxes shift if the pagination changes.

I've tried writing a VBA macro to automate this, by searching for pages with H1 style text on them and automatically generating the white text boxes, with the intention of running the macro after I've finished writing the document, but it isn't reliable. The macro fails to generate white boxes on pages where there doesn't seem to be any H1 text and I still have the problem of the white text boxes moving around if I later edit the document.

Is there really no better solution to this?

Force users to use chosen fonts in Microsoft Word

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 12:46 AM PST

We are using Microsoft Word and need to be able to force all users in our organisation to use a specific font, font size, paragraph spacing etc so that all our documents look the same and and when users use a different font the text will default to our chosen font.

It seems to me that we will need additional software to run with Microsoft Word.  Many years ago I saw a demonstration of GhostFill software which used Microsoft Word did exactly that but they are no longer selling or marketing the generic GhostFill software to any new users or third party developers.

Thanks in advance for your help

Microsoft Word failing to open after Office 2013

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 12:26 AM PST

I recently purchased Microsoft Office 2013 - which appeared to install fine. I can open all other applications, except for Microsoft Word. When I click on this it prompts me for user account control access - and then says that word has an issue that is preventing it from working correctly.

It gives me an option to repair it - but this does nothing.

Any clues?

Pages disapper when I select All markup

Posted: 04 Feb 2015 12:18 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I have a similar issue. i switched to 2013 recently and original file was created in office 2007. Now with one specific file, 38 pages in total, seems okay with simple markup but as i turn on all markup the file freezes and except first page all other pages dissappear. I do see other pages in print view but this is very frustrating and I can not cure it even after inspecting the document through file>inspect document for cures. 

please help for a viable solution.

Repeated authors in bibliography

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:23 PM PST

I've got a document with a lot of sources, and I'm using the source manager in Word using Chicago 16th ed.  I've got several sources that have the same author.  Sometimes in the bibliography, I get the 3em dashes in place of the author for subsequent sources by the same author:

Le Grand, Julian. 2006. "Equality and Choice in Public Services." Social Research 73 (2): 695-710.

—. 1991. Equity and Choice: An Essay in Economics and Applied Philosophy. London: HarperCollins Academic.

Sometimes, though, I don't:

King County Metro. n.d. Accessible Services. Accessed January 31, 2015. http://metro.kingcounty.gov/tops/accessible/riding-the-bus/accessible-buses.html.

—. 2013. "Strategic Plan for Public Transportation 2011-2021 (2013 Update)." http://metro.kingcounty.gov/planning/pdf/KCMTStratPlan_2013_Update_LR.pdf.

King County Metro. 2013. "Title VI Program Report." http://metro.kingcounty.gov/am/reports/2013/title-vi-program.pdf.

I've triple-checked to ensure the authors' names are identical and in identical fields in the source dialog box.  The tags even match (with the exception of the year).  Another example of 3em dash failure:

Martens, Karel, and Aaron Golub. 2011. "Accessibility Measures from an Equity Perspective." Transport Planning Research Colloquium. Antwerp. http://www.academia.edu/707806/Accessibility_measures_from_an_equity_perspective.

Martens, Karel, and Aaron Golub. 2014. "Using Principles of Justice to Assess the Modal Equity of Regional Transportation Plan." Journal of Transport Geography 41 (December): 10-20.

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out why Word uses the 3em dash only some of the time.

Hi,

As long as your version is recent enough (I vaguely remember the method was
introduced in 2000 or 2002) use
application.filepagesetupheader

Of course, you're always welcome with questions here, but generally
speaking, activating the object browser and searching for "header" gives the
reply in seconds..

Why does the task total come up as a fraction of a day?

Posted: 10 Feb 2006 08:10 AM PST

There may be a difference in the project start time and your task start time.

One hour is 12.5% of an 8 hour day, hence the 0.13 difference. Set your
project start time to 8am. This may be accessed in the Project Information
dialogue box(/Project/Project Information/). You may have to change your
date format in order to view time information. This may be accessed under
/Tools/Options/View.

Hi Jen,

You can try as many times as you like, the answer won't change I'm afraid.

How to distribute several resources to the same task equally

Posted: 09 Feb 2006 01:16 PM PST

Hi,

I have written a VBA routine that does this for the evening permanence by 9
doctors GP in this town here.
It is far from "natural" but if you are interested:

I predefine a number of tasks which are combinations of doctor/1shift
The resource for all tasks (I know, seems wrong but bear with me) is "a
shift"
Basicly then you can resource-level and have one task (=1 doctor) per shift

If you also distribute the priority values logically (which is what my VBA
routine does) all doctors will in the end do the same amount of shifts
regardless of their date preferences, tehir holiday periods...

I'm sorry that I can't help you with a simpler somution.

By trial an error I found the solution. The trick is to start with a 24 hour
calendar template. The standard template assumes there is an AM and a PM part
of the workday. The 24 hour is completely flexible. Thanks.

Proper use of a resource pool file?

Posted: 08 Feb 2006 06:04 PM PST

Hi Rod,

When you want to link a project to your resource pool using "Share
Resources" option (by clicking on "Tools" and then "Resources"), you must
select "Sharer takes precedence" rather than "Pool takes precedence in the
box. You can change this at any point. This should sort your problem. It will
enable you to add resources on the fly when you add them to your projects
rather than the resource pool. I have done this many times and it works for
me. You need to open your resource pool as read&write.

By the way you don't need to open your resource pool first before opening a
project. Just open the project you want to work on and MS Project will
automatically asks you if you want to open the pool or not. It is a useful
option when I don't want to make changes to my resources and just want to
have a clear view of the resources assigned to a particular project.

Good luck
Reza
