Microsoft Word - Word 365 running slowly when connected to OneDrive

Microsoft Word - Word 365 running slowly when connected to OneDrive

Word 365 running slowly when connected to OneDrive

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:00 PM PST

Hi

I have been having some trouble with Word 365. Basically whenever I am editing a file that is saved on OneDrive, Word runs really slowly. It can take up to a minute for my typing to appear and is pretty much unusable, yet if I pause synching on OneDrive it all works fine. This problem has only started happening this week and I have changed nothing about my system in this time.

I have tried turning off background saves and animations but this has no effect and it is only Word that seems to be affected (I have also used Excel but there is no problem).

I was wondering if anyone here has seen this before and if anyone knows how to help?

Thanks in advance

Excel Linking in Word Not Holding Formatting When Update Link is Triggered in Word

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 01:31 PM PST

Not sure if this is a bug between Excel and Word, but each time we proceed with linking Excel to Work and try the update link option under right clicking. It will adjust the width of the cell off the screen.  

This is becoming increasingly frustrating to our users as they are in the middle of tax season preparing major reports and this is moving all their cells off the screen when they have to re-link items. 

We noticed this only started happening when we moved to Microsoft Office O365.  

Any suggestions? 

Thank you - Zak

How to get files to open automatically in Microsoft Word instead of Word Starter

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 01:08 PM PST

Prior to purchasing Word I temporarily used word starter.  Even after getting Word all my files continued to automatically save as word starter documents and anything that I opened up from online automatically opened with word starter instead of word.  I was unable to figure out how to resolve this issue so I deleted word starter.  Now I can not open any files.  I can not open files that are saved to my computer, links sent in emails or download word documents from my online school.  I have tried to reload word started and I can't get that to work either.

Please Help.

Thanks

preview pane causing word to open files in read only

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 11:48 AM PST

I have a user whose is in and out of a lot of word documents.  Whenever she opens a file from explorer with the preview pane open, it cause the document to be opened in read only mode.  If the pane is closed, then the files opens up just fine.

It would seem to me that when you to open a Word file via Windows Explorer and you have the Preview Pane open the first thing that will happen is that the preview window will start reading the file to display the preview of that file, in the meantime Word itself will also start reading the file.   the two process will conflict and Word will determine that it can't open the file for editing because the file is locked (by the preview window) and therefore Word will open the document as read-only.

 

I temporally resolved the issue by getting rid of the preview pane... but that isnt a solution.  I added all her mapped drives (where hte doc are stored) to the trusted sites, but that did nothing for the issue.

Any suggestions

The user is running windows 7, 64 bit.  The office install is a MSI of office 2013 pro plus


 

dictionary and thesaurus won't work in word 2007

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 11:22 AM PST

I am using a 32-bit Windows Vista Ultimate OS. When I highlight a word in Word 2007 and select 'look up' to open up the research column and get a definition, I am not able to get any information from the dictionary and/or thesaurus. I can arrow over to get synonyms, but I get a 'no results found' message in the research column.

It has been this way for awhile and I have not missed any updates. Is there something I can do to get it back?

MS Word Mail Merge to PDF

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 10:11 AM PST

I want to know how to merge files as pdf's with a specified file name....

In the PDF Maker - Mail Merge it has a place for me to "Specify the pdf name" (example NDC) but then when I export the files into a folder, the name will add numbers that I have no idea where they come from (example NDC1360)

How can we start from '1' or create a different naming methodology altogether?

I am not a programmer and do not understand code.

Word 365 keeps undoing "ignore all "command

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:41 AM PST

I am using Office 365 on Windows 8.1.  I am currently translating a book from French to English.  When I cite French works in the text of the document, I follow the French citation form, which includes obscure abbreviations.  I want spell check on as I work so I can correct errors in the English portions of the text, but these obscure French abbreviations get flagged as spelled incorrectly, so I click "ignore all" for them.  I close this document at the end of my translating day, then when I reopen it to begin work again, those same abbreviations are flagged.  Suffice it to say this is very annoying and a waste of my time.

How do I prevent spelling from being automatically rechecked and all my "ignore all" commands from being ignored or deleted from one session to another?  I would appreciate any help with this.  Thanks in advance.

Quick Access Toolbar Macro Buttons

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:13 AM PST

I have a word 2010 form that has macro buttons in the Quick Access Toolbar. One is to delete whatever section you are in (specifically the last 4 sections that are actually 4 separate forms). The other four are to insert a section (one of the 4 forms that may have been deleted). I recorded each macro, but they don't all seem to work correctly. Each of the 4 buttons to insert a section should go to the end of the document, insert a Next Page Break, insert the appropriate quick part for that section, edit the header and footer for that specific section to not link to the previous and be customized for that section. The problem I am running into is that the headers/footers are not working properly. I also think one of the macro buttons gives a Debug message. Can anyone take a look and help me out? Much appreciated!

macro changing read only view

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:04 AM PST

Hi,

I created a UseForm that fill information to a document fields using bookmarks. I created a macro document_open, everything works fine, but! 

I need the UseForm runing without be previously saved in a hard drive (opened directly from an email) but as the default setting open an email attachment in read-only mode, when the UserForm is filled it doesn't populate the fields in the document and error window appears. I know I can change this setting in general options, but when I send the document to the client I can't expect him to change his setting befor open my document. So my questions is what code shell I use to change the read-only view before run the UserForm.

Thank you

Format painter in Word 2013

*.doc and *.docx Chart Problems/Compatibility Issues

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 10:26 PM PST

I need my documents to be in *doc. But, the line in the charts are crooked.

So I converted them to excel charts and saved the file as *docx, and the lines became smoother.

Since, I need the file to be in *doc, i saved the *docx file to *doc.
But the grid lines became thick, and I can't format it back to how it looked like in the docx file.

I'm using word 2010.
I'm not sure why the files need to be in *doc. I was simply required to use *doc format.

Thanks!

Adding page numbers in both the header and footer of the same page - Word 2010

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 09:25 PM PST

Hi,

I am trying to add  page numbers in the header and footer of the same page.

The header would contain page number X of Y to identify the section and the footer would contain the normal page number.

I added section breaks and unlinked the headers to stop the page numbers continuing from the previous section but kept the footers linked to continue the numbering from the previous page.

When I selected the header page numbering to start at 1, this applied the change to the footer as well.

And vice versa.

I want to know if it is possible to have two page numbers on the same page working independently of each other, and if so, how?

Otherwise I would have to manually type the X of Y page numbers and it would be a pain!

Building Block Bug Word 2010/2013

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 09:12 PM PST

While I did not do an exhaustive search, I couldn't fine where this issue has been discussed here before and as I find it incomprehensible to be by design, it must be a bug.

Using the Create New Building Block dialog (ALT+F3), you can create a building block with insert content options 1) Content Only, 2) Content in own paragraph, or 3) Content in own page. 

Insert a simple table (e.g., 2 x 2), select it, and create a building block named "testICpage" and select the option "insert content in own page.

If you use the Insert>QuickParts>Building Block Organizer dialog and insert the building block named "testICPage" it works fine.  The table is inserted in the document with a page break before and after the table.

However, if you simply type testICPage and press F3 to execute the entry the table is inserted at the current location (not in its own page) and worse, any existing text in the current paragraph is enclosed in cell one of the table.

Can anyone confirm this?  MVPs, can one of you ensure this is reported through your bug reporting system?  Thanks

Word 2010 is making lists impossible...

Posted: 08 Feb 2015 11:58 AM PST

Hey everyone!
So I'm setting up my preferred list format for this new document, and Word is just making everything impossible. It "thinks" it knows the best indentation for the new list levels, and it does all kinds of ridiculous stuff with the text after the list starts. Check out the picture to see what I mean.

Is there any way to fix this? Its driving me crazy. Each new list level should have a steady, smooth indentation, and all text after the list starts should also have the same indentation. The text after a. and the empty circle is too close, and the text after i. is too far out.

Thanks for any help!

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

PLEADING PAPER

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 03:15 PM PST

Some law firms use this horrible Word 2010 program.  Do not like the Ribbon [which I find a horrible idea] because it takes too much time to get what needs to be done, done.  It takes me now 4-8 steps more than Word 2003 did with the tool bar that could be customized to get the job done quicker.  Now that I have to work with Word 2010, I find out that you CANNOT MAKE PLEADING PAPER OR EVEN MAKE A TEMPLATE PLEADING.  This is really bad for law firms.  In Word 2003 you could make Pleading paper, but you could NOT do standard double spacing because it would not be on the Line Numbers.  You had to monkey around with the spacing to even get the text of the pleading on the line numbers.  WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? 

On top of this issue is the fact that you cannot make pleading paper that is consistent wit 26 lines, but you cannot put 2 footers [one for page number, title of pleading] and [second, the law firm info] at all.

As for Microsoft's templates, they are useless.  You cannot customize them to fit your needs.

As far as I am concerned, your Microsoft people really need to make a product that would consider LAW FIRMS and be USER FRIENDLY [you could learn from WordPerfect].  Your products are mainly made for Corporate businesses that are basic in what they do and that is perfectly fine but it is totally inefficient for law firms.   

Yes, I am use to having "USER FRIENDLY" software such as WordPerfect to make pleading paper, which line spacing was actually on the Line Number without screwing around with the Line Spacing to have your text on the Line Number.

Posted: 24 Jul 2008 04:43 PM PDT

Did you have the product key to start with? Is Office 2007 on your computer and
did you activate it without issue?
If the above is true you can find your product key by running the Belarc
Advisor.

Newbie genearl PM question

Posted: 12 Feb 2006 06:35 AM PST

Understand exactly what you mean. Part of the issue is one which Project
cannot be expected to help with and that is simple management. There are
times when you have to simply manage the contractors. To help with this
though and where you have the concerns is scheduling which drive to do first
when four houses all come due at the same time.

First assign a deadline to the completion of each house. This will create
critical paths for you, and the slack between end of the house and preceeding
activities will differ from house to house. This is important as resource
levelling uses the slack values to 'decide' how to order conflicting
resources. Hence if you have three houses with driveways all able to be done
at the same time, but house 1 has the first deadline, house two the second
and house three the third deadline, then the slack between finishing the
house and the driveway being completed will differ from house to house.
Project will then level out the asphalting contractor's work based on the
slack available at each house, so it should schedukle House 1 first, house 2
second etc.

You may have other reasons to prioritise houses, in which case you can set
priorities of each task in the project and when levelling select to level by
Standard,Priority.

Using the levelling function on the critical resources will give you dates
that you can then give to your contractors and subject to no other changes
make those dates firm to them and simply follow up as normal to make sure
they are ready as advised previously.

Hiope this helps

Report for Assigned Tasks

Posted: 11 Feb 2006 07:25 AM PST

Hi Brian,

I assume you have found the Who Does What Report and discovered the fact
that the report doesn't sort the assignments by Start Date.

The work around that I use as suggested by John is the resource usage view
with the Start and Finish date added to the table (left side) and then
sorted by Start date. I then hide the right side (timescaled portion) of
the view.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How do I insert a new task into an existing project?

Posted: 10 Feb 2006 04:11 PM PST

Do you have the project sorted or filtered? make sure the filter All Tasks
is displayed (shortcut for that is F3) and that you are sorted by ID
(Project, Sort menu).

Links and summary tasks should have no effect.

Can you insert into a new schedule?

Hi MCraig,

It appears that you need a database rather than a timebased product as
Project is.

Would it not be better to set up an access database with all the data and
run relevant queries?

General Information

Posted: 10 Feb 2006 11:17 AM PST

As for a very general overview, imo... MSProject allows a manager to
forcast events based on either previous experience or some other form
of input. All the stuff that goes through your head as a manager can
be entered and reports generated that allows you to view it and share
it and to pick it apart and refine it. Once the "plan" is made it can
be modified and tracked to figure out how well you created the plan in
the first place, and to adjust your forcasting abilities accordingly.
MSProject also allows you the ability through tracking to "prove" who's
fault certain discrepancies caused what differences in your timeline.
Project can simply help to get a rough idea of how long a small project
will take or can be a major undertaking for multitudes of managerial
types working on complex products, but the end result is only as good
as the data entered and the commitment to stay on top of it. Good
luck with your course.
