Microsoft Word - Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Microsoft Word - Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Word for IPAD not syncing my dropbox files

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 02:50 PM PST

I just setup Word for IPAD and linked my Dropbox account to it, but none of the files show up from DropBox in Open on Word for IPad.  Any ideas what may be wrong?  If I go into my DropBox account on the IPAD they all appear there.  Have I missed some security item on the IPAD or Word that needs to be set?

If two autotexts are named the same (in two different templates), which one will get used?

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 02:15 PM PST

Hi all,

I inherited a lot of templates set up by another IT admin.   For autotexts, there is a bit of a "poor design" built in to some of them (might have been okay under Word 2003 but this company has now switched to 2010 mostly).

- Global template has an autotext named "Sun" which gets expanded to "Sun Life..." and it's address along with a general Attention: name

- Specific template has an autotext also named "Sun" which gets expanded to "Sun Life" but this time with a specific department related to the specific template

Users sometimes seem to have problems and before I make changes, I wondered if there is a hierarchy as to which autotext Word will use if there is more than one loaded for the same name.  If Word always takes the one from the specific template, all would be good as it is only used in a few (out of 150) templates.  So if the specific template does not have the autotext, the user can still use the "generic" name and address it would get from the global template.

But if Word does something "random", then I have got to get them to come up with another naming scheme that works for them.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick

Template no longer there

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 01:09 PM PST

Every term, when I teach Word 2010, I have always shown my favorite template by doing the following:

File, New, Letters, Cover Letters - and then selected Resume Cover Letter for Entry Level Position

This term, when I went to File, New, Letters, the Cover Letter folder is no longer there and neither is that template I mentioned above.  I thought that, perhaps, the folder got trashed when I was having other problems with my PC but our school help desk person doesn't have it either.

Can Microsoft delete stuff like this during an upgrade done in the background? By the way, the template had a 1998 McGraw Hill copyright at the end of it so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it.

It seems that all the Cover Letter templates are now online rather than on the PC.  (they are not as good as the one I mentioned above)

Word Tables -Displaying the content of one table cell in a cell in another table.

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 12:55 PM PST

I have designed a document change management template using a table at the top of the page to capture the document details policy/document name, author, approval and revision date.  Because most documents created in this template will be more than one page long, I needed to add a footer at the bottom that references the subsequent pages to the first page for document integrity (appeasing our auditors).  So for that footer, i've created another table using a field to reflect the file name and path, the page number and the revision date.  I'd like to have the revision date in the table at the top of page one automatically populated in the revision date cell of the footer table.  That way the footer data would be totally automated...no need for our users to touch it.

This kind of cell data sharing is easily accomplished in Excel with a simple "+C3' formula where C3 is the cell address of the source data.  Is there any way to do the same operation in a Word table?  Closest thing I could find in the topics so far suggested User Form functions, which is really convoluted and would undoubtedly get messed up by the many people using the form.

Office License Validation

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 09:56 AM PST

Should an Office Professional Plus 2013 license ever be validated by the Software Protection service or should it always be validated by the Office Software Protection Platform service.

The reason I ask is that I have a legacy application that embeds a Microsoft Word instance via OLE that is experiencing some problems on certain machines (but not others) in Windows 7/Office 2013 environment.  For computers that experience problems, I've noticed that Event Viewer shows The Software Protection service launches when we host the document.  It starts up correctly but then it fails with "Unable to get detailed error information during license consumption.  Last error 0xC004F015".  The Word instance then appears to crash or the process ends.  In some instances afterwards, Word will prompt the user to repair the installation afterwards.

On computers that work correctly instead of the Software Protection Service, I see the Office Protection service launch and correctly validate the license. 

Word and the other Office products are able to launch standalone and work fine both on computers that experience the problem and those that don't.

Microsoft Office Professional 2013 Not Working with Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 08:05 AM PST

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 9926 through the Windows Updater in Windows 8.1. After previously downgrading from Technical Preview, I installed Office 2013 and then upgraded to Technical Preview again. Whenever I try to start any Office program, I get the Welcome screen, click Blank Document, Presentation, Spreadsheet, etc., and then I get the messages (the following apply to Word):

Microsoft Word has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution to the program...

Microsoft Word has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

I have had the same problem with Word 2010 when I previously used Technical Preview. Is there any way I could get Office to work again?

Thank you!

Pictures inserted into Word are printing but not showing up on my screen

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 07:18 AM PST

I am working on a property brochure for work. My document has images, tables, text, etc. I have copied and pasted QR codes (images) from a website into my document. Well, two of those codes are randomly printing out on page 11, no matter what I do, I can't get them to show up on my screen so I can delete them.  I have moved all of my work into a new document but, alas the codes print in the exact same spot. I did copy and paste only the text/info that was on page 11 in a new document then printed it and the QR code images did not print on that page. What can I do? I'm at a complete and utter loss!

copy/pasting from WORD put extraneous characters in another application

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 06:12 AM PST

Hi,

I used to copy/paste parts of text in WORD to an application (Reference Manager V12).  Since I'm using WORD 2013, the paste results in copying not only the text but also additional information that my application does not understand.

As an example, I write in WORD "123123" and make a copy.  Then I paste it in the application and here is what I get:

PrFont34Bin0BinSub0Frac0Def1Margin0Margin0Jc1Indent1440Lim0Lim1123123 ...

How do I copy without these extraneous characters ?

This only occurs with WORD, not if I copy/paste from Excel or PowerPoint, or if I copy first in NotePad and then make a copy/paste from there. 

Word 1.6 for iOS still loses my data

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 06:06 AM PST

As discussed here...

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_mobile-word/word-for-ipad-and-apple-quicktype/3290f55f-7823-4f21-9a2a-02c117559bca

the iOS Word apps on my devices lose anything that's typed with QuickType.  It gives the illusion of working, but text is missing when I load the document again--even on the same device. 

I'm guessing this only affects me, since no one else has commented on the thread. Any ideas for how I can fix it? Do I just have a setting wrong somewhere?

Flow chart will not show text in inserted shape, unless a text box is also inserted.

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 05:05 AM PST

In Word 2010, when I set up a flow chart and insert a shape, and click in the shape, a cursor appears, but when I enter text no text appears.

If the text is spelled wrong, a curly red underline appears to indicate misspelling.  Thus it is apparent that the program recognizes that text is being entered.

Clicking on "no fill" does not cause the text to be displayed.  Nor does altering the alignment of the text.

OF COURSE, inserting a text box will provisionally solve the problem.  However, the purpose of the present question is to determine whether inserting a text box is necessary.

When using Format Painter, it adds at the beginning of each paragraph formatted [E-x.x-xx]. How can I make it stop?

Posted: 18 Feb 2015 01:48 AM PST

So i've been trying to change the font (from Arial to Times New Roman) and style of a big document using the wonnderful tool that never failed me before, the magical Format Painter. Until today, when I guess he decided to take a break.

At the beginning of each paragraph it adds this [E-x.x-xx], where x are numbers related to someting, maybe a numbering list? The content formated is not a part of a numbering list.

An example:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit

transforms to

[E-x.x-xx] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit

Anyhow, how can I make it stop? It never happend to me before, and I have no idea how to solve this.

Thx.

Serious lag when entering text in form in Microsoft 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 07:34 PM PST

I have several plain text text controls inserted using the controls toolbox on the Developers tab on a document. After protecting the document to only allow filling in forms, upon saving and repopening the file, there is a serious and random lag in when the user clicks on the text control and when the control responds with entered text appearing on the screen.  When the editing restrictions are lifted, there is no lag. The only other type of control I have in the document are radio buttons.

Background information:

  • Disabled all add ins (Word and COM)
  • No other VBA macros are running in the background
  • OS is Windows 7 Professional
  • Thin client configuration
  • Operating over network in office at work

Word 2013 - Featured Templates display Chinese templates

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:47 PM PST

I have a user that has somehow mangled the default 'Featured' Templates view.  WIndows 7 Professional OS / Word 2013 (Office Professional 2013).  Clicking on 'New', she gets a list of templates in Chinese (other than the default 'Blank Document' template.  I checked her language setting.  The 'editing' language is set to English, and the 'Display and Help Languages' are both set to 'Match Microsoft Windows (default)' and 'Match Display Language (default)'. 

Excel/PowerPoint template options display in English.

I did a full 'Online Repair' to see if it would correct the problem - and it didn't.

Any ideas?

Word 2013 not displaying all pages in edit mode

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:26 PM PST

We have a document with 600+ pages. When viewed online we can see all pages. Once opened in Word 2013 for editing however, we can't. If I use a different view I can but not in print view. This is a major problem as most people cannot work in this document now.

If I convert the file to Word 97 - 2003 then it works. Or if I open the file on my Mac (as it has a different version of Word - Word 2011 Mac) it works. But this is not what we want. We would like all files to work regardless.

INSTALLING OFFICE 2000 (UPGRADE) ON NEW COMPUTER

Posted: 07 Sep 2008 08:32 PM PDT

Hi Officeguy,

If you do not have any of the qualifying products listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210437/en-us
you can phone Microsoft product support (http://support.microsoft.com) about getting a replacement product key. For this type of
issue the state of support (i.e. mainstream vs extended) mentioned in previous replies, shouldn't matter, but it would likely be a
support call that would require you to pay for the support.

For your new computer, especially if running Vista you may want to consider upgrading, or trying the 60 day free trial of Office
2007 as an alternative
http://trymicrosoftoffice.com
as there won't be any additional updates for Office 2000.

Install upgrade version of Office 2007

Posted: 06 Sep 2008 12:15 PM PDT

Hi Sharon,

You didn't mention the name of the .MSI filebut as a guess, it would be part of the original installation CD/image for Works.

There may have been some corruption in the MS Works installation. That can sometimes occur from using registry/cleanup utilities on
the computer. Some computers include a compressed version of the software provided and a provision to create your own backup CDs to
be used to install. Check with the computer supplier to see if that's the case.

If it would not be possible to fix this quite simple Problem without having

switched to something else (in my case, Symantec EP).

communigate & exchange

Posted: 08 Sep 2008 10:36 AM PDT

Hey Rafavic,

sorry but I don't know how communigate excactly works.
 

Definitely it isn't possible with communigate's client software to
gain access to Exchange mailbox resources. So I think a classic front-/
backend szenario is hardly to realize.

I guess, a simple communigate smarthost for incoming and outgoing
mails will work, but .. 

Exchange has it keyfeatures in handling mails, providing access via
Outlook, browser, handhelds, (telephone) and so on, and not in sending
fax. But there are several other implementations for additional
services. Why do you use Communigate Pro? You should ask your
customer, which features he is missing in Communigate and Exchange and
think about how to implement this features (maybe with 3rd party
tools).

Protocol Exchange uses to send mail between Exchange servers?

RPC is used only to put the mail into the mailbox server by the hub
transport server. Mail is routed within the organization between hub
transport servers using SMTP.

Questions about Ex07 disk config (GPT and multiple LUNs)

A larger pool of drives doesn't automatically balance physical data
positions between them... a single big hit on a single database file could
keep all of your drives busy without a significant performance improvement,
whereas if that file was "confined" to a single spindle, the other ones
would be free to do their work.
 

This is true. But how big are those databases going to be?
If you use, say, 4x200 GB disks in a RAID 10 setup for each array, you'll
have 400 GB available for each database; if your database grows up to 350
GB, that would anyway be a good time to split it, so a bigger disk space
would be somewhat useless.
 

I really don't know this topic in detail; but the whole MBR/GPT issue is
anyway only related to disk *partitioning*: the filesystem stays NTFS. So
this looks quite a trivial issue to me, as those disks are going to have a
single big partition each.
 

That's a perfectly reasonable approach :-)

Microsoft Word - Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Microsoft Word - Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Issues pasting "Keep Text Only"

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:55 PM PST

Split from this thread.

A bug that I have found is the following:

I was trying to get the default to allow me to text ONLY the plain text when I hit Ctrl + V.  I could paste plain text by right-clicking and selecting it, but the default was fixed as incorporating random formatting that was not in either the source or destination files.  I set the Options under Cut, Copy and Paste to "Keep text only" first for "between documents when style definitions conflict," and then "between different documents," and then finally even "Within the same document."  Still, I would get a font reduction and blue text from nowhere when pasting from a black text size 11 PDF to a black text size 11 Word document.

The solution was found accidentally.  By checking the box next to "Show Paste Options button when content is pasted," the defaults now function properly regardless of whether I actually use or even click said Past Options Button.  This is a legitimate bug.  The function of the higher listed defaults should not be conditioned upon an unrelated default option.  This is the equivalent of not being able to flush your toilet unless your porch light is on.  And I cannot report this as a bug because the listed website is not taking any such reports.  Neither can I get my computer at a huge company with thousands of employees to change to any different version, regardless of what I can do on my home computer.

Recovering Word from a crashed and repaired laptop?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 01:20 PM PST

My old laptop crashed, Windows xp, IE6, Microsoft word 2003 (I think). Someone was able to repair it back to original settings, but cannot read or open word docs that have been saved on a USB drive without opening them with wordpad. I was hoping to work with the USB word docs and create new word docs by rewriting the saved docs on the USB drive and re saving them on the laptop. Not happening. Is there anyway to recover Word functionality without the original start up disks?

Need Help Using Quick-Parts

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 01:06 PM PST

Hi, so I'm in Word 2010 for Windows 7 and working on a document with some information (generic body paragraphs) and some customizable sections that I want prompted for filling; this is used with a mail merge campaign, so these fields would probably be best served by being fill-in quick parts, right?  I've made an outline of how I want the letter to look with the quick parts, which are designated with chevrons < >; is what I envision possible? I'm not overly familiar with using the Quick Parts function in 2010 but my boss wants it done.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate any advice that anyone has

Image Watermark Disappears

I'm trying to insert an image as a watermark in order to create a form in Word 2013. The image is a scan of our letterhead. When I select custom watermark, use image, the image appears for a moment, complete with the image size handles, then disappears. I've tried size settings of Automatic, 100% and 150% but with the same effect. What now?

Broken Track Change Save in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 11:24 AM PST

So I've been having this problem for 2 or 3 weeks now. I'm running Microsoft Office with Microsoft Word 2010 on a Windows 7 OS.

I work frequently with a technical writer and other individuals to produce publications and documents which makes the use of the track change feature a basic  necessity for us. Unfortunately I've been having issues with using the track change features on my computer. Lately whenever I go to close or save a file, all changes to the document, including those made by other uses are being automatically saved. If I or another user opens the document after I've saved it, the changes are indistinguishable. I haven't made any changes to my tracking options, and this has me practically at wits end trying to fix the problem.
The best work around I've found is to save a pdf copy with the visible markings for any changes, but for several reasons this is NOT a desirable workaround...

If anyone else has run into this issue or has a solution please let me know.

I don't want graphic objects to NUDGE TO GRIDLINES. How do I turn it off?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 11:19 AM PST

I have been using Word for years.  I have Word for Mac 2008 and Word 2010 both installed on my iMac computer (Parallels, Windows 7). In Word for Mac 2008 I can place gridlines in a document and then insert a grahic that I can nudge in one-pixel increments.  But in Word 2010, when the gridlines show, it only nudges to the next gridline.  I usually place my gridlines at .50".  Even if it is a DEFAULT setting in Word 2010, can't it be shut off?  When I don't use gridlines it works in the usual manner, nudging at 1-pixel increments. I have all the "snap to" items unchecked. 

Word 2013 went "not responding" when I try to open a file

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 09:45 AM PST

When I try to open a file my word 2013 shows "not responding". All I can see is the title bar. Also, no matter whether the file is doc. or docx, the title always shows [Compatibility Mode]. 

Also, the splash screen remains on the desktop. 

All other office work well.

my laptop runs Windows 7 Ultimate,

This microsoft office 2013 package was downloaded  and installed from my university website and registered by my university email address.

It works well since I installed it but the situation happens since yesterday, I can't remember what particular thing I did that could cause this happens.

There is no other office package installed in my laptop now. I uninstalled MS 2003 and WPS several days ago.


I appreciate any help!

How do I prevent the "Enter" key from creating a textbox in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:56 AM PST

I am writing a book, using Word 2010, and every time I click on the "Enter" key, the "Enter" key creates a textbox.

I can add an extra letter, number, or symbol and put the cursor in front (to the left) of that and then the "Enter" key works the way it should.

This is a long document (almost 300 pages)  or I would simply start over.  I have copied and pasted (with format) but this error follows over to the new document.

Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Column break creates page break

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:14 AM PST

I am pretty familiar with this feature, but every once in a while when I hit column break it creates a new page.  The page set up is set for continuous.  Nothing in any of the drop down menus is set to create a new page, so why do I get a page break when I want a column break?!!! Beyond annoying, especially when I cannot fix it.

Auto Correct doesn't save when I close Word

I do have all the corrections I made initially, but not anything after that.  What to do?

Right to left language issues in Word for iPad

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 08:06 AM PST

Does word for iPad support right to left languages?

whenever I try to type in arabic word writes from left to right, now in arabic letters have few form depending on where they are located and word gets them all wrong and just displays the singular form of letters.

The question is:

Is this a bug or should I try some special setting?

my region settings is set to usa but I don't think this would affect writing cause other apps like Pages work just fine

New blank Document 60?

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 06:15 AM PST

Why does Word 2013 add numbers to the default name of new blank documents I open, and why do these numbers increase each time?  I understand that if I have two unnamed documents open, one will be called Document 1 and the other Document 2.  But the new file I just opened is called Document60, and I don't have any others open.  When I completely close out of Word, then open it again, the new blank document is called Document61.  Is Word keeping track of how many new documents I open, or do I have a virus?

Word 2013 - write once, populate in all document

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 04:29 AM PST

I quite often have to write documents, where certain text elements are repeated throughout the file (things like "Project title", "Customer name" etc.). I'm looking for a way to write it once and populate in all places.

I've been trying to use Bookmarks and hyperlinks but without success - the problem is that whatever you write at the end of the bookmark is not automatically added to it. I've also experimented with trying to add bookmark to Content Control from Developer tab - but it appears that bookmark still applies to the text inside the bookmark not the field as a whole.

Is there any simple way (without resorting to macros, VB etc) to achieve that?

The update of Microsoft Word is messing up my previously formatted documents

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 03:20 AM PST

I recently got a new laptop and had to install the newest version of Microsoft Word.  Since doing so, whenever I use apostrophes and quotation marks they are the "straight" kind, and not the "curly" kind, which doesn't match the rest of the document.  I'm a writer, and I use quotation marks a lot.  When I go to format my books, I can't have both types of quotation marks.  I asked this question on Yahoo and someone instructed me to go into Word Options and change to "smart" quotes, which are the curly kind.  I did this, and it changed nothing.  I need my curly quotes and apostrophes back, unless I want to go through every manuscript I have and change them ALL.  I DON'T.  Suggestions?

Mail Merge label problem - Each row further up than previous.

Posted: 17 Feb 2015 02:13 AM PST

Hi
Can anyone help with a problem that has only started recently.

I have a large list of lables to create by MailMerge using Avery L7163 labels.

When I create the merged labeles and print, the alignement is out.   There are two columns and seven rows per sheet.  By the fourth row, the top line is printing in the bottom of row three label.  Each row moves up a bit.

Half of the label on row seven is in row six.

What I would like to know, is does anyone have the exact settings for the L7163 labels not just label width and height.  Looking at the settings window for the labels, it looks like I need to know all the settings such as Top Margin, Side Margin, Vertical Pitch, Horizontal Pitch, Label Height, Label Width.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.  By the way, I have tried googleing settings and you'd think it would be easy to find.  I haven't found it yet.

It seems to be a new problem as I have never had issues printing these labels in the past.  I have however made custom setting changes to NEW labels recently but it wasn't to the L7163's but who knows, maybe something happened then.

Thanks in advance
Malcolm

my footnotes disappeared

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 08:28 PM PST

I am using Office 365 on Windows 8.1 and I am having all kinds of problems using Word.  The latest one is my footnotes.  All the footnotes for the entire chapter disappeared.  The little numbers are still there but the footnotes themselves are neither at the bottom of the page (where I put them) nor at the end of the chapter.  I thought that maybe it was because there are no page breaks, but I could not figure out how to insert those  There is something called Insert/page break, but it only refers to a break in one particular page.  Also, Page Number is grayed out, so I can't figure out how to number the pages.  What am I doing wrong?  This is so frustrating.

Open Word document vs File New Blank document - one opens much larger than the other

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 07:40 PM PST

Hi - I'm using Word 2007.   When I open a new blank document using the Word icon on my desktop, the page opens at 100% magnification.  However, if I then go to the top left hand side of the screen and use either File-New-Blank document, or the new document icon, when the page opens it is at 150% magnification.  I know there is some way of changing this ... in fact, I saw something about it a few weeks ago on this site, but I can't find it now.   I seem to recall it had something to do with opening visual basics and then adding some code.   The instructions given at the time were very clear and included how to open visual basics - which I don't know!

In any event, about a week or so after I saw that post, my file-new-blank document started opening at a much larger magnification, which I can only assume had something to do with an update of some kind.

Now I'm stuck and it's driving me mad!   Does anyone recall the above post and/or knows how to fix my problem.   I have seen lots of posts for altering the normal.dotx zoom size, but that isn't making any difference to my problem.

Looking forward to any and all replies, with thanks

What is the formatting symbol that looks like a rectangle inside a rectangle?

Field Codes for mailmerge

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 07:08 PM PST

I am trying to enter field codes from an example I found online to do a mail merge to pull out multiple lines for each client into a reminder letter.   For the life of me, I cannot figure how how to get the brackets right. I keep coming up with extra brackets. Is there a trick to entering these brackets?

Here is the example I am trying to enter. 

{QUOTE{IF{MERGESEQ} = 1 {SET Key""}{SET LastKey {Key}}}{IF{MERGEFIELDCIENTCODE}<> {Key} "{IF{MERGSEQ}< 1"

Can you give me some guidance on entering codes, I know you have to use the F9 to enter all of them. 

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

WORD 2010 reverted files to 97-2003 version when copied to another folder -- now will not allow renaming with long file names

Posted: 16 Feb 2015 06:09 PM PST

I copied several WORD 2010 (Word document) files to another file folder (from a flash drive to a My Documents folder).  Now, in the My Documents folder, the files have changed their name to short names and have converted themselves to WORD 97-2003 documents!!!!!  And, when I open them and try to do a SAVE AS to re-convert them to WORD 2010 documents and restore their original long file names, the system will not allow the long names!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have done this several times before with no problem.......What the heck could have happened this time?!?!?!??  The sad part is that I deleted the original WORD 2010 files from the flash drive after copying them over.

Hopefully someone will respond to my problem.

I have Office 2010 (Home/Student).  When I try to save a document (Word or Excel), an error message appears "Class not registered". I don't have the same problem in Word Pad or Paint.  I ran the MS diagnostic, a repair was made (can't remember what it repaired), rebooted, but it didn't correct the problem.  I reinstalled but didn't fix problem. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
