Word 2010 Problems with page layout

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 02:52 PM PST

I am having multiple problems with page layout. I want to design a document that will eventually be printed on pages 152.4 X 228.6 mm, with margins and a gutter on the left for recto and right for verso (normal allowance for binding). No problem there. I am printing proofs on A4. Whatever I do I cannot get my printer to render the 12pt as 12 pt and when I select 'apply to whole document' and save it, on accessing it again it always says 'this section'.

Repeater Merge Fields to output in the same line instead of listing repeater items in separate rows

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 01:44 PM PST

Hello,

Can someone help me formatting repeater merge fields output in MS WORD in such a manner that the results will list in the same line using comma separate format?

Currently the multiple outputs are listed in separate rows. for example

PRINCESS

AMIGO

My desired result would be:

PRINCESS, AMIGO

Another issue I am having is when I use the repeater merge fields right after the normal merge field, the output result will repeat the output from the previous merge field again after the repeater merge field ends.

for example

if the merge field <<residentname>> outputs SMITH and the repeater merge field <<PETSNAME>> outputs PRINCESS, AMIGO, my output shows like this:

SMITH PRINCESS

SMITH AMIGO

I want this output to be display in MS WORD as:

SMITH, PRINCESS, AMIGO

sample merge fields

«residentname» «tablestart:pets»«petsname»«tableend:pets»

Thank you

Zack

Word 2010 - Custom Table of Contents - Inserts table from which created into new documents

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 11:54 AM PST

Hi.  We created a custom TOC and shared it amongst pilot program members.  When they go to create a TOC, upon insertion the TOC from the document upon which the format was created is inserted and you must refresh to build it based upon the current document.  This is sending people into a panic and others into complete frustration.  Any idea, how I can get it to insert the TOC for the document they are working on without a refresh?

Hyperlinks being changed in Word 2010 - IE - Win 7

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 11:38 AM PST

Working for a large company, we distribute from time to time Word documents with Hyperlinks in them.  Some point to internal sites, some to external sites.

The first part of the link is a signon verification to identify the user:  http://%^*&@.@#*$

The second part is the actual URL to the site in question, https://*&^%$

They are separated by and equal sign.

For some reason the secure URL is being change with no intervention by the user taking them to a incorrect location.

Can someone offer some opinions as to what might cause this and suggested fixes.

Thank you

Word 2010 Table of Contents - Sharing TOC format

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 09:20 AM PST

Hi.  We are trying to create a standard office TOC.  So, I created a TOC and saved it to the office building blocks, which are separate from each individual's building blocks.   I shared the office building blocks.dotx with others and placed it in the appropriate location under the users data profile.  When they generated a TOC, using the format I had created, theirs looks nothing like mine.  We used the same style set and the same TOC from building blocks.  Can TOC formats be shared?  If so, how do I do it correctly?  Thanks in advance.

Office 2013 Clip Art not available

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 09:14 AM PST

I'm trying to search the Office online clip art from Word 2013. I've selected the Insert tab and clicked on the Online Pictures option. The only options I'm given to search are Bing Image Search and One Drive Personal. To be perfectly clear, Office Online Clip art does not appear in the window. I did a Quick Repair, but that didn't fix the problem. And, yes, I am connected to the the internet. Any suggestions?

Deleting pages on Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 03:19 AM PST

How on earth do you delete a blank page in the middle of a word document? Have spent an hour researching this and got nowhere - just some pseudo philiosphical techno guff about blank pages not really being blank. I've tried using paragraph setting. Tried finding a manual page break. Tried layout settings. Tried sacrificing a black cat under a blue moon. Also, how do you complain about this sort of stuff to Microsoft - am I doing it now? Can they "hear" me?

So many questions, but really what I want to ask is why it is that Microsoft Word 2010 seems to have been designed and developed by a group of sadists in the midst of possibly the longest acid party in history?

Word 2010 keeps adding styles on Save

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:05 PM PST

I have a template that I'm trying to 'clean-up' so that there are no unnecessary styles.

My process follows these steps:

  1. From Manage Styles I select the unwanted style (named TOC Heading + emphasis) which is created from a correct style (TOC Heading) and Reapply the correct style to the entire paragraph (including the paragraph mark). Here is where the newly created style is removed.
  2. Then the template file is saved whereupon the created style (TOCHeading + emphasis) reappears.

How do I stop this from happening?

Unable to open Word or Excel

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:05 PM PST

I have tried all the suggestions that have appeared in the support section.  Windows Click to Run refuses to uninstall.  I have tried it several times.  Also I have tried to repair Office 2010 following your instructions.  That does not work either.  The searching stops after a few seconds.  Then I tried right-clicking the icon and clicking file location.  It went right to CVH, but that would not open either.  I cannot get to any of my files and this is most frustrating.

Thank you for your help.

Word - Drop-down list that can auto populates Text?

Hi all, 

I am working on a new form. 

I want to create a drop-down list and depending on what I select I would like the text box below to auto populate standard language. 

Is this possible in Word? I believe I did something similar in Excel a few years ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to condense 16 different letters into one. All only differ slightly depending on what would be selected from the drop-down. 

Thanks a ton!

How do you create a vertically centered horizontal line around horizontally centered name

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:03 PM PST

      I am currently creating a resume from scratch.  At the top of the page, underneath the header and horizontally centered, I have written my name.  I wish to create a horizontal line on either side of my name.  These lines should be the same size and symmetrical horizontally.  I also would like a the line to be compound with a vertical gradient (dark grey on top and light grey on the bottom).

      I've clicked on the border button in the home tab and then selected insert horizontal line.  I have been unable to position this line on the same text line as my name.  The line could only be positioned as a break above or below my name no matter how short the line was.  I was unable to find any text wrapping options for this type of horizontal line.

      Next, I tried using the insert shape feature.  I clicked on the insert tab, clicked on the shapes button and then selected the line tool.  It was frustrating to position the line along the vertical center of the text.  I right-clicked on the line and clicked "more layout options".  I adjusted the alignment options gradually until I was satisfied.  I then made sure that the "tight wrap" option was selected.  This seemed to work.  Next I right-clicked on the line again and selected "Format Shape".  Here is where things got extremely frustrating.  I selected the compound line option, but there were only four types.  For the horizontal line method above there were many different types of compound lines.  I selected one and then attempted to create a gradient.  It was a painstaking process.  There were four gradient bars, which I guess is fair as the compound line has two lines, but it was very difficult to discern how the controlled the gradients.  Once I was satisfied I had to create another horizontal line on the other side of the text.  I set the line I created to the default line.  When a drew a line on the other side of the text the compound line and gradient was vertically reversed!  When a went back to the format shape screen and selected the opposite line (here the image in the tab was the opposite of the one originally created but it produced the same the line as on left side of the text.  This also reversed the gradient.  I stopped here as I had no idea how to match the exact same gradient as the first line.

      I also tried the copy and paste method.  This only created a picture of the line when pasted on the right side of the text.  It seems impossible to get this picture to line up symmetrically with the line on the left.

      I know I have written a lot here and my description may be too dense or not clear, but I thought this way would help me get the best answer.  I have searched online for over an hour and have not found a method that works.  This seems like an extremely simple, common task and I'm sure there must be an easy and quick way to do this.  I am not sure if I have over-complicated the matter, but I really need help on this one.  Also, I do not want to use a resume template.

Thanks for your time and help.

in word - stops responding, then task manager doesn't work

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 05:46 PM PST

I'm using word 2010 - windows 7.  When I'm in Word -- I will intermittently  lose quite a bit of functionality - ability to backspace, use the pointer to get to a different section of the page, etc.    I'm unable to close Word at that point.  if I go to Task Manager, it does not respond either.  I then have to shut down the computer using the on/off button, and reboot.  The computer will then act fine for an undetermined period of time.

Any thoughts?  It's very frustrating.

Margin Errors in Word 2007

Templates in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 04:03 PM PST

When I open Word, I am presented with a bunch of impressive templates for which I have no use at all.  I have no interest in using any of Microsoft's templates, either embedded in the software or online.  I know that many people went to great lengths, and used extraordinary talent to create that impressive collection of marvelous templates, but I don't need them.  I have very limited needs, and have made an assortment of templates that fit my requirements, and I want to use them.  I want to get rid of all of Microsoft's templates, and instead use those I've created myself.  When I open Word, I would like to be presented with a blank page based on my Normal template, and ready for me to enter text.  Is that possible? 

Why does Word 2013 "go to the back" when I close a document?

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 03:03 PM PST

Thanks!

How can one tell if Exchange has been installed in a forest?

For the group's benefit (you all have been so good to me), I took a look at
the AD Schema BEFORE and AFTER an Exchange forest prep. BEFORE forestprep,
there was only ONE mch* entry in the Schema. Afterwards, there was an
*explosion* in number of mch* entries. It went from 1 to 114! And that

I posted this earlier, but the post seems to have failed.

I think I found a solution here in Experts Exchange (you need to be a
subscriber).
Basically I fixed it by logging on as client and changing the Outlook
Profile to prompt for credentials (security tab). Then opened Outlook. I was
then able to close Outlook, change the Outlook Profile to no longer request
credentials. Then when I reopened Outlook it worked fine. Any feedback if you
have it is also appreciated.

Mailbox Manager Registry keys

Posted: 26 Aug 2008 06:09 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

I've set the start time on the servers to be Saturday at 6:00p (using the
15-min view). I had been running mailbox manager in 'generate report only'
mode for the last month to let users see what was going to happen when it
actually changed to 'delete immediately' mode.

Since changing to 'delete only' mode, the process does not run through all
the mailboxes (there are a lot of messages to delete!) but still produces the
'has run successfully' report.

So, I was thinking there was possibly a time limit set as to how long the
process runs. On some of my servers it will run for 45 minutes and stop,
some close to 2 hours. But none of them finish processing all mailboxes like
it did when I was in 'generate report only' mode.

Hope that helps to clarify. Thanks for your time!

OK. Frankly I don't know much of anything about the exchange server, how
it's used, so I can't say if it's being used in that manner or not.

Can someone respond re my original questions?

Is it possible for UIDLs to be non unique? There are only 200 messages
on this exchange server, and most of the most recent 20 or so are using
duplicate UIDLs, at least according to the info I have.

Also is AAQG2TxAAAArJjnk2yIOau008N6VeH1P a 'normal' looking UIDL from
exchange? Or does it look truncated? My suspicion is that somehow the
UIDL values are being truncated, and thus rendered apparent duplicates
from the persective of my software.

Save as PDF Vs. Acrobat Tab

I have the capability to do 'save as PDF', and I also have the Acrobat tab. I've never had an Acrobat tab before. I am wondering, and haven't been able to really find answers to, what the differences are between the Acrobat tab and the 'save as PDF' is?

I get there are additional functions that can be done with the Acrobat tab, but is there any difference between using the Acrobat tab or the 'save as PDF' option to change a document in to a PDF document?

bottom of page issues

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 11:59 AM PST

I have 2 inches of white space at the bottom of the page and can't seem to use it.  Word keeps pushing text to the next page.  Basically, it is signature info for letters like this:

John Doe

JD:jd

Enclosures

I try to get initials and enclosure on the same page but nothing works.  There is no footer that is causing the problem.  The only way I can use the space seems to be to create a text box, add the text and then position it on the page below the name.  I am pretty sure that is not the correct way but at least it works.  what setting am I missing?

If a user creates a Template, for example,

and then wants to add new pages that are exactly like the template, how can they do that?

All I see are new Blank pages.  Is there a new Custom or new Page from Template?

Thanks

Hitting tab key inserts multiple periods plus tab indent

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 11:21 AM PST

I copied and the pasted as plain non-formatted text an excerpt from another document. Paragraphs are set to 0 leading / trailing, single line spacing, no indent.  For some reason Word is insisting on inserting multiple periods into the document when I hit the tab key instead of just indenting the text.

So instead of getting

"January 15, 1957                                     Doors opened for business"

I get

"January 15, 1957 ..........................................  Doors opened for business"

Deleting the periods gives me

"January 15, 1957Doors opened for business"

Why? How can this be prevented?

Dropdown Calculations, Weird work around???

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 09:53 AM PST

So after a few hours trying to find the answer, I've finally came to the point were I'm just going to ask if it is even possible with word and if so how.

 

I'm making a word form (To be filled out by someone); I'm trying to calculate their answers based on the answer given.  Best way to describe what I mean is to show you

 

Here is an example of what I'm doing

Dropdown list has the options 1 - Star, 2 - Star, 3 - Star, 4 - Star and 5 - Star

The user filling out the form selects a star for each dropdown list; lets say I have 5 dropdown list.

I want to calculate in a field how many 5 stars were given in those 5-dropdown lists, and then in another field how many 4 stars were given in those 5-dropdown lists.

 

So lets say the person filling out the form puts this in the form.

 

Drop box 1: 5 - Star

Drop box 2: 4 - Star

Drop box 3: 5 - Star

Drop box 4: 3 - Star

Drop box 5: 4 - Star

 

Now I have a field set up at the top that says

 

5 - Star: 

4 - Star: 

3 - Star: 

2 - Star: 

1 - Star: 

 

In the field for the 5 star, I want it to calculate how many 5 stars were given in those drop boxes.  For this the answer would be 2.  Then on the 4 star field calculate again and give the number of 4 stars from the drop boxes (2).

 

There must be a way to do this, I'm hoping that someone knows the answer because the actual form has dropdown list of about 75 and it takes forever to calculate everything.

 

Also I'm putting this in the Mac forms because that is my main computer but I have access to Windows version of word through Bootcamp, so If you can't on mac but can on Windows that will work for me.

Footnotes do not restart at 1 in a new section

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:46 AM PST

I am having trouble with footnotes (Word 2010, using Windows 7). I have a paper with two footnotes in the prelims. There is a section break after the prelims, and I have selected footnote numbering to start at 1, but the first footnote in the actual text still starts at 3. I can't seem to get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Linked Files not updating in a linked document

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:36 AM PST

I have created a 10-page file where each page is linked from an independent single-page file.

I have since made a test edit to one of the original single-page files that is NOT showing as updated in the linked 10-page file.

When I open the 10-page file, this pop-up appears with a Yes/No option:

"This document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?"

I click Yes. However, I do not see the update that I made to the original file reflected.

I have also gone into File-->Info-->Edit Links to Files and made sure that all of the linked files are set to "Auto" update.

Manual for Word 365 app on iPhone 6

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:35 AM PST

All I have been able to find in the way of instructions on using the Word 365 app on iphone 6 is some info in a FAQ format for iPad, and lots of information on setting the app up. Nothing that will explain, at a minimum, what the icons on the toolbar mean. I want more information than that, but it would be a start.

Saving issues with file based off of a template

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 08:15 AM PST

How do I stop Word from asking if I want to update a template a file is based off of?

I have saved a file based on a macro-enabled template. When I make changes and click "Save" in the new file, Word always asks "Do you want to save changes to the document template?" If I just close the file, it asks if I want to save changes to that file (yes), and then "Do you want to save changes made to <template filename>".

Excel Object in Word

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 07:15 AM PST

I have an excel spreadsheet that I have as an object in Word ... the excel spreadsheet is an amortization schedule and is 77 rows and extends to column J. In order to have all columns visible I am using landscape.

How can I get Word to recognize the additional lines and place on second page? Right now it stops at line 33. I thought of making the font even smaller than 8 - but it becomes unreadable

What is this second page and how do I make it stop?

Thanks in advance!

Reuse embedded spreadsheet data

Posted: 10 Feb 2015 06:29 AM PST

I have a word document that has a table in it that contains certain values, This table is an embedded spreadsheet. Later in the document, I would like to use this data to create a pie chart. I created the chart in the spreadsheet, but it is not displayed in the first instance of the spreadsheet. I copied the embedded link and pasted it later in the document and then changed it to show the chart. The problem is that I want the chart to update based on changes made in the table in the first instance of the spreadsheet, and the method I am using is not doing this. This seems like it should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out or find a solution on the internet. Is this possible?

read-only & permissions

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 08:39 PM PST

new install of  Win 8.1 and  Office 2013 (from Win 7 & Office 2010).  only me using the pc.

I save a lot of my docs to a USB HardDrive (E:) and work off them from there; but now when i want to work on them from E: they become read-only and "we can't save this file because it's read only" (even with the restrict editing is all off)  and also get message like "you don't have permission to save to this location; contact the administrator to obtain permission"

Is there anyway to kill this forced 'read-only' and 'permissions needed' things ?    

If its too complicate i guess best just to go back to Office 2010.

Thanks for any ideas you can give me

Is there a way to change a style globally on all old Word 10 documents?

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 04:40 PM PST

I have hundreds of files in which I'd like to change the quotes style. My new files are all formatted correctly, but is there a way to change the old ones all at once or do I have to keep doing this one at a time?

How can I get Word to give me the word count when it is restored (down)?

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:48 PM PST

Not sure how to describe this. Often, when I open a Word document, I want to see the word count. I can see it easily enough when it is maximized; but when it is only half the screen (what is called Restored?), I can't see it. I can see a few other statistics about the document, when it is restored, but not the word count.

EDIT: OK I see that I can push the word count towards the left of the document window (whether it is restored or maximized) by removing items that MS Word is set to tell me along that bottom row. 

I suppose I can live with that, but is there another way to get Word to give me the word count, without removing more and more items to the left of the Word Count?

Custom Office background theme?

Posted: 09 Feb 2015 03:46 PM PST

Is there a way for me to add custom images or themes to the office background? I'm not talking about the white, light gray, or gray colors, but the themes like lunchbox, circuits, clouds, etc. I'm tired of staring at the gray border because honestly, it's a bit dull and by adding a custom background, it would definitely spruce things up.
