Office Home and Student for Windows 7

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 02:08 PM PST

Hi, have bought and downloaded Office Home and Student 2013 which is meant for Windows 7 amongst others. Office won't open and my computer is telling me that it is not compatible. Altho my computer (laptop) runs on Windows 7, it is telling me that it's actually Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Windows Version 6.1

I am now at a complete loss.

Help, thank you, Eileen

attaching word template by reference

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 12:19 PM PST

I have a custom template that I've attached to a collection of documents. I have these files, including the template, checked into source control. I'm finding that the reference to the attached template does not follow the files when a second user checks out the documents and template from source control.

I.e. my coworker checks out the template and one of the documents. He edits the template to change Header 1 to color red. He opens the document and the Header 1 text is not red. The auto-update based on template is turned on. It is in fact referencing the original template that is stored in my folder on the network.

Can I create the documents so that they look in their own path for the template?

Word 2010 docx opens in non-edit mode and loses Baloons Always setting

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 11:46 AM PST

win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit

Word 2010

on both machines

I am working with an author editing his book.

When we send a file either way it opens requiring us to click on enable editing and then go change the tracking options setting to Balloons: Always.

This happens even though we have identical settings in Word Options.

There are no macros in the docx files, but there are in Normal.dotm on each machine, and Macros are enabled in Trust Center on both machines.

It is not hard to work around, but it shouldn't be doing this, and it wasn't doing this sometime back.  I assume some update changed things.

Where do I look?

Document comparison

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 11:22 AM PST

I have two Word documents.  I'm using Word for Mac 2011.

Each document is a a test of 1200 multiple-choice questions.  The second version is supposed to be a rearrangement of the questions, but they're written in a specific order, so they can't have a random arrangement. The organization that sent this wants a committee to compare one version against the second to ensure no typos have been made.

Is there a way to do this other than checking them one-at-a-time?  I don't think Track Changes is meant to work in this way.

Thank you very much,

RW

Word 2010: Why don't documents scroll vertically in Print Layout view?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 10:55 AM PST

I have vertical scroll bars enabled in Word 2010.  Note that I am NOT asking about how to enable vertical scroll bars.

In Print Layout view with more than one page viewed at a time, dragging the vertical scroll bar does nothing except show a small page indicator as shown in the screenshot below.  In other words, when scrolling vertically with the scroll bar, the pages actually displayed in the document window do not change and I cannot quickly scan through the document nor see where I am scrolling to.  This is very annoying.  This does not happen in Draft view nor in Print Layout view when only one page is viewed at a time.

I've noticed that this Print Layout view problem occurs in previous versions of Word as well.  Can anyone confirm that this is a permanent "feature" in Word?  Is there any way to change this?  It seems completely pointless and similar document views in for example, Adobe Acrobat do not have this problem.  What is the rationale?  Thanks for any help.

Section numbers and hyperlinks in table of authorities

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:41 AM PST

Is it possible to create a table of authorities in a Word document which doesn't refer to page number, but instead refers to the hyperlinked section in which the authority is found, so that clicking on the section number takes the reader to the citation, or at least to the section in which the citation is found?  I've found this entry:   https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-word/reference-paragraph-numbers-in-a-table-of/bd301d9d-f453-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5  but the links discussed there are no longer valid.

Thanks!

Office 2013 for Windows 7 appears extremely blurry

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:07 AM PST

I recently downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 as part of a student bundle at my university. To do this, I had to uninstall my previous Microsoft Office 2010.  However, all of the new Office programs are extremely blurry. If I run my mouse over certain buttons, they may unblur for a second or two, but then distort again. All of the programs seem to function fine, but are very unusable in the sense that I can't see what I'm typing or clicking at all. This didn't effect my previous Office suite, nor the Wordpad that came with my laptop.

Below is a screenshot of Word. I had copied some filler bio text from a wiki-how site.

I put this topic as Microsoft Office Word, but the same effect is happening in all the office programs.

Text boxes automatically hyperlinked

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 07:40 AM PST

Hi guys, I tried my best to find an answer to this question somewhere so sorry if I missed it.

Basically, in Word 2010, when I make a new text box, the text is automatically formatted like a hyperlink (underlined and blue).  But I can't turn it off, because Word "knows" there's no real hyperlink there.  I tried just changing the color and format of the text, but no matter what I tell it, the text stays blue and underlined.  I tried adding a fake hyperlink and then removing it to see if that would help, but it didn't.  All I want out of life is to make a box of text that isn't blue or underlined.  What's going on?!  

Thank you.

Changing the name that displays for tracked changes?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 03:42 AM PST

I turned on tracking and made changes to a document on one computer and now need to finish making changes with tracking turned on while using another computer. The problem is that the other computer is not mine and I want the tracked changes to display the same name, mine throughout the document. How can I change the name that displays for the tracked changes on the second computer so both the changes and colors for the changes are the same?

thanks.

word 2010 insufficient memory or disk space - tried all the fixes I can find

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 02:05 AM PST

I have a laptop running windows 8 and MS Office Professional 2010. From the very start when it is brand new is occasionally got the message "insufficient memory or disk space"  when trying to print from word. This is getting worse.  Deleting normal.dotm fixes it for a very short while then it occurs again.

I have removed  add-ins but the problem still occurred.  I tried doing a repair on Office 2010 but the problem still occurred. Yesterday I uninstalled Office and reinstalled it and the problem is even worse. At the moment I either need to delete normal every time I have done a print - or I have to save everything as a PDF fine if I want to print it. 

I have also done a full system scan with Norton 360 

Can anything suggest what the problem might be

Thanks

Monospace fonts are not monospaced in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 05:25 PM PST

I am writing up some software documentation and am trying to use Courier New for the code parts to make them clear to read. I chose Courier New because it is a monospace font. However the results I am seeing are defiantly not monospace, and as a result it makes the code more difficult to read.

Why is Word doing this and how do I get it to stop?

Microsoft Word crashes when try to open it

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:32 PM PST

Whenever I try to open microsoft word 2010 it will open fine but then a pop screen shows up and says "please wait while setup prepares necessary files" and then word crashes. None of the other office programs will open either. Although they don't open at all. They aren't like word. I have tried uninstalling office but it always says that the uninstall in incomplete so I can't just reinstall the software. I don't know why it won't uninstall. Is there any way to fix this issue so that I can at least open word without it crashing? Or is there some way to make my computer uninstall office?

Autocorrect on Word 2013

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:26 PM PST

Hey, 

I'm changing laptops soon. The last time I changed laptops, I lost my customized dictionary and customized autocorrect words. Even though I re-logged into my account on the other laptop, the autocorrect options that I applied on the last laptop did not sync. 

So what happens now, since I'm getting a new laptop? Do I have to go back and save EACH autocorrect word? Or is there a way to just sync those into my new laptop?

Also, can you please bring back the autocorrect option in the menu box (right click). It's really frustrating that each time I want to add a word in autocorrect I have to go to settings menu.

Thank you,

Alan

I want to link a multi page spreadsheet into Word, PLUS maintain formatting & sanity

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:56 PM PST

I have to create & print a new membership directory for my club. All the info is in an Excel 2007 file. My 1st choice would be to link the data in Excel to word. Alternatively, embed or copy the data. I have to get it into Word to use its more extensive formatting & more importantly, use the Page Setup features for booklet printing.

Here's what I have tried that didn't work:

Insert / Object / Text from File. After entering the Excel file I want copied into Word, I get an error dialog box message that reads "...cannot be opened because there are problems with the content. Details - the file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Clicking OK, the next box says "Word found unreadable content in file. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." When I click Yes, it circles back to the 1st message above. So I cancel out of that.

Next I try Insert / Object / Object / Create New / Object type & select Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet. This brings up a 10 line Blank Excel spreadsheet into Word. I can extend the sheet down to the bottom of page 1 but no further. How do I get the rest of the sheet on to pages 2, 3, 4, etc? It has also taken data from Excel that is 5" wide & squashed it down to 4.4" wide. Gerr!

Cut & Paste from the Excel sheet got it all into Word on multiple pages BUT screwed up the formatting.

Any ideas on how to make this work. I'm even willing to give up on the linking feature & just copy a mirror image into Word!

A very, very inelegant solution is to insert a new object page by page. ie rows 1-40 on page 1, 41-80 on page 2, etc, etc. Doing it this way makes moving around in the document extremely cumbersome while in Excel mode.

OneDrive and exporting an excel file or word file to create pdf

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:29 AM PST

I have a user who opens her OneDrive on C:\Users.......and opens one of her folders then either an excel file or word file and then if she tries to chose export to create pdf it will hang for a few minutes (you can see it creating a temp file in that folder) then it will pop up Internet Explorer to the Office 365 Login page.  If you then just click to save it ignoring the IE popup it some times will save the file as a pdf and other times will just hang.  I have tried to reproduce this on other machines and they all work fine IE never opens up.

Office 2000 installer initiates for limited XP accounts

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 03:07 PM PDT

Never mind. I fixed it. I changed the limited account that was giving me
Office start-up problems to an admin account. I then opened all of the
MSOffice applications within that account. When I opened the first one, it
prompted me to insert the installation CD, which I did. I then changed the
account back to a limited account and did a restart on the system. Now, all
of the MSOffice applications open up perfectly within both limited user
accounts.

I think the key was having the user account set up as an admin when the
initial MSOffice application was opened up. After that, it can be changed to
a limited account. Things seem to be running perfectly now.

send to mail recipient icon not responsive

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:28 PM PST

As far as I'm aware i have followed every step to ensure my version of Microsoft word can send emails directly. However, the reality I face is that after adding the "send to mail Recipient" icon to the toolbar, it remains unresponsive. Every time I search online for a solution to this, it talks about outlook, which is unavailable on windows 8.1 (which I am currently using), and no where does it mention the mail app.

        Since I am a complete novice to windows 8.1, i may be missing something simple, but i have exhausted the length and breadth of this forum and found no solace in any answer provided. I am using Microsoft office home and student 2013 and i would appreciate anyone who could attempt to answer my prayers.

Thanks.

Saving a Word document.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:20 PM PST

Hello!

I am struggling in through Word for Mobile devices. I cant get the navigation (heading) panel to work properly. I assume there is a bug but I am not 100% shure.

The problem is the the heading panel is displaying not only the heading but also other text in document. I have a word document that works fine in desktop PC version (the navigation panel is displaying proper headings), but when I open it in word for mobile devices the headings in heading panel are mixed, the other text in the documents is also displaying there. Can you help me somebody? I also have example but cant post it along this post.

Macro to hide if 0.00

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:59 PM PST

Is there a macro or a way to hide the amounts on a document if it is 0? We need to keep everything else on that row, just hide the 0.00's. (see circled) We use this with Microsoft Dynamics GP, GP uses its report writer to generate reports and send XML data to Word to render the report.  Example of the document below. 

Microsoft Word integrated CRM, using MS Word 2013, Merging to a PDF Printer Driver

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:35 PM PST

We are using Maximizer CRM Live, which integrates with MS Word and is an Add-on to MS Word, for creating personalized letters containing User Defined Fields from the CRM that are embedded in MS Word documents. If we run a merge with a selected list of entries in our CRM, and select a network printer for the output, all of the entries will print to the network printer without any interruption.

 

The issue we are having is that we need to have a multiple entry merge from our CRM output as a single PDF file using a PDF Printer driver as the printer. When we select a PDF Printer (and we have tried at least a 6 so far including Adobe PDF Printer), we receive an on-screen message indicating the correct number of entries will be merged. Next, the Save As dialog appears and a file name and location is requested. All good so far.  The first entry will merge, but for the subsequent entries, the Save As dialog appears for each subsequent entry in the merge, requiring the User to enter a different name, otherwise overwriting the file. As our entries for the merge may sometimes include 50 or more entries, we need a way to append the balance of the entries to the first entry without having the User having to interact.

Is there a way to achieve the appending of the entries to one PDF file without interaction from the User?

Thanks in advance,

Randy

Macro for spell check doesn't always work.

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:22 PM PST

I wrote a macro that I assigned to a button that turns on "check spelling as you type", but it doesn't always work because the spelling errors do not get highlighted.  Here's the macro:

Sub Macro1()
' Macro1 Macro
    Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = True
    Application.ScreenRefresh
End Sub

I emphasize that sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.  When it doesn't work I go to the Review tab>Spelling & Grammar>Options, and under the "Exceptions for:" heading I see that "Hide spelling errors in this document only" option is checked.  My macro doesn't have a command in it that checks this option.  How does this sometimes get checked, and how do I make it so it's never checked unless I check it myself?  Thank you.

Legal Pleading Template does not work

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 12:18 PM PST

I have Windows 8.1, Office 365 Home, with MS Word 2013.  If I try to use the pleading paper template, the numbering and lines along the left side of the paper do not show in Print View, do not print, and do not convert to pdf.  How can I get the legal pleading template to actually work?  

Office 365 Word unstable

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:37 AM PST

Hello

I have a problem using Word, the cursor shows as a circle (like a 'wait' symbol) and continuously flashes, sometimes over where the typing point is, it makes it almost impossible to use and this could be a big problem as I bought this la[top and Windows 8.1 specifically for a project writing a book for the big screen.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

thank you

MIcrosoft chat support only wants to sell products

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:18 AM PST

Yesterday I had a situation with my Office 2010 product.  A unexpected and unsolicited Microsoft download apparently changed a printer setting unbeknownst to me.  After that download, I was working in Word and could not print a document.  I called the chat line for help.  They indicated that they needed a product key to look at the problem.  I mentioned it had been 4 years since purchasing Office 2010 and had no idea where the product key was.  Their only solution was for me to purchase Office 2013.  They didn't offer any solution other than a new sale for Microsoft.  That's great Support, don't even try to fix the problem, just sell new products.

The final solution came when I purchased Office 2013, uninstalled 2010 and installed 2013 and I still could not print.  I called Tech Support and this time spoke to someone who suggested checking the default on my printer.  Sure enough, the default setting had mysteriously changed.  The problem was solved in under 5 minutes.  And I, for better or worse, was taken for the price of Office 2013 by the Chat room.

Shortcuts for frequently used phrases?

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 10:57 AM PST

Hi, and thanks for reading --

I have started transcription work, and verbatim transcriptions require you to type all of the "you know"s and the "so, like"s.  Does anyone know a way I can create a shortcut key to type a phrase like "you know"?

Custom Bibliography Style

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 10:38 AM PST

I have created a custom bibliography style as per this link: "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj851016.aspx#Biblio_BuildBasicStyle". Yet the style does not show up in the "Styles" drop-down list under the "Referencing" tab in Word 2013. Why is it not showing up in the drop-down menu?

Uncooperative Page Numbering

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 09:29 AM PST

Hi,

I've been working away for weeks now trying to get the page numbers to count properly in a book that I'm writing, but I'm getting sick and tired of solving one problem only to be confronted by another. So at the moment, I have a number of problems which I need help working out what to do with. The initial problem was that the numbering kept re-starting because word had inserted random section breaks all over the place.

1. I'm trying to keep the first few pages free from numbering, but every time I try to delete them, (almost) every other page number in the fifty-page long document also gets deleted. I've made sure the ones I want to keep are set to 'start with', but this doesn't help anything.

2. I wanted the next few pages to be of the system i, ii, iii, which is working perfectly, but for the fact that every time I try to set the numbers below to 'start from' a number, it turns the last page of the i, ii, iii format into 1, 2, 3 format. Completely bizarre. Completely stupid.

3. I mentioned above that I was trying to get the main bulk of the pages to start from 1 - this doesn't work. These pages are still inexplicably linked to the first few pages which I don't want numbered (see my first point), and whenever I try, the page I set to 'start from' actually starts at 6. It also seems to follow no logical counting order.

Any help would be very much appreciated. The sooner I can get this sorted, the sooner I can get back to actually writing to book. Either that or I'll have to find a pdf editor.

Thank you

Office 2013 (Word) Illegal XML character

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 07:55 AM PST

The Issue

I have experienced this problem twice now.  First time months ago when I was working with Master documents.  I paid little attention then believing the document corruption error was directly associated with Master Document issues.

The source file resides on OneDrive.  The file is accessed regularly from office 2013 (win8.1)

 

and from Office Mobile (Android device) version 15.0.3722.2000. 

When I attempt to open the file from either office product the following error occurs.   The file contains 26182 bytes all readable from a simple Visual Studio binary reader I put together.  I have no idea what the 100960 column number means.   Also, I do not believe the file format is true XML - some derivative form.

The Error

The Questions

  1. Is the file recoverable by any means?
  2. If the file can not be recovered, how can I acquire the first 100959 columns successfully read?

Thanks now to all that respond

From MS Word, I can open files using "Recent" but when I try "Open", some files don't show up in the folder. If I open a document from Recent and try "Save As", it tells me the file exists.

Also, when using "Open", the files that do show up aren't sorted like usual.

Dutch proofing tool not working

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 01:46 AM PST

Hi,

I installed 3 licenses of Office 365 on 3 different laptops using Windows 8.1 Professional.  All installations are in English.  I also downloaded, installed and enabled the Dutch language proofing tool on all 3 computers.  None of them are working.  See pictures below.  I tried the suggestion I saw on an earlier post about a similar issue (quick repair of the Office 365 installation), but to no avail.

Can you please help with this issue?

Thanks.

Fixed outline.

Hello, first of all, sorry for my english, its not my main language.

I need to make cards in which people would write information, text in front which is same for all cards should not have underline, but underline is applied after that text like in this example:

Text _____________

__________________

Text _____________

Longer txt ______

__________________

All lines should be fillable, and should not move when text is beign written on them.

I could apply underline to paragraph, but it underlines everything, even text which should not be underlined like in example.

I tried to create table, but text does not go into next table row.

Is it possible to create such a card?

Applying data from Excel 2013 spreadsheet to a Word 2013 document

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 08:11 PM PST

When making contracts or writing letters to clients, I commonly address them to one of 50 - 80 clients, but my entire client list is in the hundreds.  I have them all in an Excel spreadsheet, with "FirmName", "Street1", "Street2", "Street3", "City", "State", and "Zip" as the column names.  When I create contracts, invoices, or letters, I would like to be able to select the "FirmName" from a drop down list in my Word document, and have the remaining information auto-filled in the layout:

FirmName

Street1 Street2

Street3

City, State Zip

The city names in the "City" column do not have a comma after them, so I need to include this in the auto function.  Can anyone help me with this task?

I would also like the drop down menu in Word to make a fresh reference to the Excel spreadsheet each time I open the file, so that changes to the client list are automatically recognized.  Is this possible?

Thank you for any help.

Dependant drop down lists

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 07:49 PM PST

I am creating dependent drop down lists using the method shown at this link:

http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/linked_content_control_dropdown_list.html

Following this example, I have currently entered 28 types of fruit in the value field for when "Fruit" is chosen as the "Food Group".  I seem to be limited to 256 characters.  My current needs are for 30 - 35 items, totaling a minimum of about 350 - 400 characters, including spaces, pipes, and all.  It would be ideal if I could have 40 - 50 items totaling 1,000 - 1,500 characters.

Question: Can I get around this limitation?  If so, please provide a reference or example I can follow for whichever method you suggest.  Thank you.

Print Applied Document Formatting (not real styles)

Posted: 11 Feb 2015 04:11 PM PST

You can print a list of documents styles, but can you print the formatting that has been applied?  In the styles pane you can see the "Direct formatting" if you check Style Pane Options "Select Formatting to show as styles".  I would like a print out of these.  One document has 12 real styles, and over 30 direct formatting "Styles".

Thanks in advance.
