Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Microsoft Word - Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Table of Content Shows letters as page numbers

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:21 PM PST

Hello.

I've been trying to fix this on my paper for a bit now and need help.

When creating table of content the page numbers in TOC come up as letters. Document as it is does not have page numbers listed ( or visible). I've added page numbers in the footer and in TOC they still remain as letters. Deleting and re-creating the TOC did not do anything different. All TOC templates show me only letters as page numbers. Am i missing something?

Cannot download templates from word

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:29 PM PST

Whenever i try to download a word template from within Word 2013 it gives me an error "something went wrong while downloading your template". This happens for every template i try to download. 

when i go to https://templates.office.com/Templates there is no option to download the template, only to open in office 365. there is also no search function on that site which makes it almost useless.

I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling office 2013. I have downloaded and installed all updates for windows and for office and it still doesn't work. I am having this issue on multiple computers. 

I really need help with this issue as it is driving me crazy. 

Word 2013 (running on Windows 8.1) internal page count is incorrect.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 01:22 PM PST

Weird problem #1: I have a 10 page document created in Word 2013.  The page count in the status bar (lower left bar under the document) says it is 11 pages.  Only 10 pages are visible in print preview (only one printer and its correct driver is installed).  Only 10 pages are visible when I zoom down to look at things in a thumbnail view.  The hard copy comes out as 11 pages with an extra blank page. 

Other weird problem, probably related?: When I click on page one of the document, the page count says "1 of 11".  Click on page two, it says "2 of 11"... this continues correctly until I click on page seven.  When I click on page 7, it says "page 4 of 11".  To sum up, click on page 5: "5 of 11"; click on page 6: "6 of 11"; click on page 7: "4 of 11"; click on page 8: "8 of 11".  And remember, this is a 10 page document (in my world)!

This has nothing to do with inserting page numbers.  This is the internal page count that Word creates, monitors and displays on the status line.

I have tried repairing my Office installation with no result.

Anybody?  Help???

Setup is unable to proceed

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 12:30 PM PST

I run Windows 7 Home Premium with 64 bit operating system

I have had Office Home and Student 2010 installed for some time without problem.

I now can not access Word using the desktop icon or via programs. I have tried to reinstall from the original disk but keep getting error messages saying that setup is unable to proceed. I have tried troubleshooting without success.

NB Excel and Powerpoint appear to still be working fine.

Any suggestions ?

Microsoft Word - Document Map Issues

Microsoft Word problem when trying to number lines manually after reaching 6

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 11:14 AM PST

So i was trying to number some lines like this

1.1.

1.2.

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

4.2

5.

and as i know if i did it like this manually Ms word 2013 will automatically identify this and turn on Numbering function and space the lines as should and tidy up all the work for me.

but after i reach to a number for example 5. with no additional number like 5.1. and then continue numbering like 6.1. it doesn't detect it as a numbering nor even continues the list as i want it

i wanted the numbering to be like this:

1.1.

1.2.

1.3

2.1.

2.2.

3.1.

3.2.

3.3.

4.1.

4.2

5.

6.1

6.2

7.1

7.2

etc...

also i tried adding 5.1. instead of 5. it still doesn't continue numbering to 6.1. and so on.

any tips? help on whats wrong here?

thanks

Count word occurrences in a Word Table

I have a table in Word that has three columns. I need to count the number of "Y's" in the third column (rows 3-33) and total them at the bottom. How do I do this? I know it is easy in Excel, and I know I can paste a worksheet into Word from Excel, but that looks sloppy. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Macro word 2013 vs 2010

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 10:12 AM PST

Hi,

i've made a office word 2010 template with macro.

I am now using Office word 2013.

When i open the document back with Office 2010, macro doesn't work. Word change all my object name, adding 1 to the end.

So for example, textbox became textbox1 and so on. When I enable macro, macro run, but since it can't find my object it ends up in error.

When I open document with word 2013 i don't have any problem at all.

Macro are very simple macro using active x object (for example loading a list into a combo box on document open with .list ecc.)

Could someone help me?

Because I have no clue on how to check out error, since im running just office 2013 and i've to try and send file.

It can be the file is open in read only?

Thank you so much.

Formatting styles issues in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PST

I am having a problem with a large composite document with a small number of repeated headings. I've used my own customised styles for these. The problem is that I can't get the 'normal' style to work. I hit enter after the last heading and it defaults to Heading 1; if I click 'Normal' it just reverts to Heading 1. I have tried copying and pasting the contents of the document into a new one, but this issue just transfers to the new document. Please could you advise me how to fix this?

Footers in Report with different page layouts

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 09:39 AM PST

I work in Word 1013 and do a monthly report with a cover page, TOC and the pages of the report wich contain photos and tables which often requires the pages to turn from Portrait to Landscape and back.

How do I get my text to remain on the edges and centered for page numbers and have the numbers run continuous from portrait to landscape and back without resetting tabs?

There are reports that I spend hours trying to get the footers to behave.

Office 2013 Apps No Longer Copy/Paste Rich formatting

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:52 AM PST

This is driving me nuts, it started a couple of weeks ago and has persisted through updates, restarts, etc. I have just started noticing that I can no longer paste formatted text in any Office application, everything copied turns into stripped down plain text. Copy a richly formatted paragraph out of Word? Pastes into the Outlook text window as plain text. Tables in Excel? Ruined tabbed text in Word. One word of bolded text from Word? Plain text paste into OneNote.

All formatting is getting stripped, and the Paste Special popup does not always appear anymore, when it does, all three choices (keep source, merge, plain) all produced plain text on paste. Control-V? Plain text. Strangely, copy and paste even within the same program strips it out, but dragging and dropping formatted text keeps it.

Some things to help in diagnosis:

Office 2013 Business Premium (this is the forum they sent me to to ask) latest version/patched

Windows 8.1 fully patched and up to date

Skype Click to Call is not installed (already been through that potential fix) In fact, Skype is not installed at all.

Yes I have restarted multiple times.

Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? This is pretty core functionality that is messed up.

Read Only

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 08:26 AM PST

Hello. I'm having a problem opening files (.docx). I create a word doc, save it (it uploads to One Drive) then when I go to open it again it only (and always) opens in Read Only format.
It's getting bothersome because I have to change the file name to save it again. Is there some Read Only option somewhere I can uncheck? Why do my docs always open in Read Only?

Also, perhaps unrelated, what's the difference between Office 365 and One Drive. I have both but are unclear how the interact.

Thanks.

Word styles applying to text above and below / corrupting styles / template error

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 03:38 AM PST

I am using a Word 2010 template with multiple styles created.  I have created 3 heading styles.  If I apply Heading 2 to a line of text with a hard return at the end, then apply a different style to the text below, it automatically makes the heading style above, that same style.  If I add a hard return, I can keep my styles, but this leaves gaps in my document.  As soon as I delete the hard return, both lines of text assume the same style...... HELP :-)

I am using word 2010 (although my template is in compatability mode, (so word 97-2003) with windows 7.

experiencing a glitch/problem when using the block library function in Word 2013.

Posted: 03 Mar 2015 02:38 AM PST

When using the block library (/ pre-defined text box) function in Word, I'm experiencing sort of a glitch/problem. 

It seems, as far as I have narrowed down the problem as related to the built-in referencing (for bibliography) system. 

When using blocks (or pre-defined text boxes for that part) with simple text I don't experience any problem, bus as soon as I add the references to the document (and save), something goes wrong.

So, what happends is, when I want to choose a block from the list, they start showing for like half a second (if I'm really fast, I can choose one), but then the list gets all white (see picture below), and I can no longer choose a block (obviously).
Does anyone know if this can be fixed?

how to delete a page with data from a word ie.. 1-5 and you dont need page 4

Deleting lines after mail merge

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:11 PM PST

We use mail merge to create multiple reports (in Word) at once for different customers (over 300).  A very simple version of our Word document is below:

Beginning balance                               $XXXXX
Purchases $XXX
Discounts $XX
Fees $XX
Ending balance             $XXXXX

 

First column is the same for every customer, but second one changes (merge field) depending on customer's information (data from Excel).  The problem is that if the value is zero (no discounts or fees) for one or more lines, we delete those lines manually one by one. It is very time consuming and I'm wondering if there is a quicker way to get rid of those lines with a zero in second column...

Thank you in advance

Word 2013 Page Breaks

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm writing an e-book with Heading One attributed to sections throughout the book.  Before I do my TOC — I've placed page breaks immediately before my headings.

Here's what I'm trying to understand...

Every time I hit the page break button — it adds a blank page to my document.  Of course I could remove pages but that doesn't seem to be the right choice.  There must be a reason it does that.  I just don't understand what it is.  

When I turn on the show/hide marker and scroll down the page — it will show me that there are one or two pages between the page breaks.

Does this happen to anyone else? 

Thanks for listening.

In article <com>,

You can still do it in the recipient policy section, creating a FILTERED
Recipient policy based on one of the AD properties (like COMPANY or
Organization), so that as you change them from the Recipient Policy
section that they te through the email system/users based on
their COMPANY settings in their profile.

We have one group with 50 users and 10 different domains, each one has a
recipient policy that is filtered on the COMPANY name.

This has an added benefit of NOT making default email addresses when you
use COPY to create new users. We create a new OU for each company on the
server and then just right click and COPY users to new accounts instead
of using the new user wizards. The only thing you have to remember is to
manually add them to the company website.

cached mode, i.e., the Offline Address Book:
1. The object or change must te to the domain controller the RUS

2. The RUS must run and stamp the object with Exchange attributes.
3. The offline address book must be generated. This is a scheduled
activity.
4. The OAB system public folder must te to the public folder server
the user's Outlook is using.
5. Outlook 2003 must synchronize itself with the offline address book.
This is directed by Outlook.

One user not receiving Attachments Exchange 2003

Ed,

Thanks for your help. I checked the Internet headers and found the
difference was that the one user has a Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat" where the others have a Content-Type: application/msword;
name="ARY....doc". Apparently the Exchange Server is stripping off the
winmail.dat file for this user. Others have received winmail.dat files in the
past.

If the server would always pass the winmail.dat attachments, it wouldn't be
a problem.

I have contacted the sender whose emails usually, but not always loose
attachments, about their settings for this contact.

Thanks,
David

I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

My Word 2010 keeps freezing up on me when I am in the middle of typing, and I am getting beyond sick of it.  I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the Fixit thing and it ran, asked if what it did worked, in which I started Word again and it still froze.  I said no to it working and Fixit ran and ran and ran until I just hit cancel (it ran for 30 minutes) and continued on down the list of things to do.  It told me to find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data in the Regedit.  I found everything on the address except for the data, so I can find everything up to Office\14.0\Word, but there is no Data file for me to find.  So that is where I am stuck.  I am supposed to find the data file, save it to my desktop and delete it from the registry to see if that is what's causing Word to mess up, but since I can't even find the file, I can't check it.

Mail merge suddenly can't find the fields in the table

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 11:44 AM PST

I am running an old computer with Windows XP, Word & Excel are the same, either 2003 or 2007. I've used the mail merge function with the Avery label system for about 2 years. Suddenly, without warning it doesn't work anymore. I match up the data fields on the label template where I want it and choose the view labels, like I always did.  Word opens in another screen and the mail merge says it can't find the data field. but it won't let me select any of the options to ignore or choose another field. can anyone help me? The word screen that it opens is blank, I don't know if that's normal as I never had a reason to look at, I just followed the prompts and it worked .... PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Word Opens but doesn't load Files saved on Network Drives

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 09:44 AM PST

Having problems with Word; if double clicking a file saved on a network drive on the local network it will not open the file. Word will launch, flash a document window and logo again and then open on the quickstart/template screen one would get if just opening Word.  Files can be accessed if they are moved to the desktop. Files will open on double click from desktop.  Moving all files to local systems will not work for our company needs.

Can't open docx attachments in email

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 08:33 AM PST

I purchased and downloaded Office 2013 a couple of weeks ago.  The programs seem to work correctly, except Word docx files attached to email won't open from email. I get the message "Download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred." I have to save them to the desktop or somewhere else, open Word, then open the document.  Excel files (xlsx) DO open correctly in Excel, and older doc files also open correctly.  I've checked the "Trust Center settings" and all are identical to the Excel settings.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office twice.  I've tried the live chat with Microsoft "experts" which was a monumental waste of time.  I'm using Windows 8.1 and use Thunderbird as my email client.  Any help would be appreciated, as it's a pain to have to take multiple steps to open an attachment that should work with one click.  Thanks!

Add Two-word words to MS dictionary?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 08:20 AM PST

Is it possible to update the custom dictionary with two-word words?  For instance, I'd like to add "Bandar Abbas" (the name of a city in Iran) to the custom dictionary, but I don't want "Bandar" to be a separate word or "Abbas" since that could lead to problems with words like "Banter" and "Abbey" or something.

Also, what about something more difficult like "Dar es Salaam".  I'd hate to have "Dar" as a word on its own, or "es".  That would create a lot of problems!

Work Lost On Unsaved Microsoft Document - How Can I Recover It MS2007

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:59 AM PST

My Windows:  7

My Office: MS Word 2007

I spent 5 hours working on a document 3 days ago (Friday). I went to open it today and the work I completed did not save. Is there a way of getting the work back? The document was something I have been working on for some time. I opened the saved file, completed the work, closed the file (which I assume I couldn't have saved) then renamed the file.

I have tried to go to the folder which the autorecover  stuff saves into and there are no .asd files in it

I have searched for all .asd files on the whole PC and none exist.

The versions I can go back to aren't any good as they don't hold the material I need .

I have been using Word 2007 so I don't have the autosave option to look through.

I guess what im looking for is to go back in time to a point I was working on the file with the text I had completed on the document before I had closed it. Say around 16:30 last  Friday

Can  any one help at all?

Thanks very much

Rachel.

Visio 2010 drawings embedded in Word 2010 Table not printing

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:56 AM PST

I'm having an issue with printing a Word 2010 (.docx) document with embedded Visio 2010 Drawings in a table within the document.

The document is saved as a .docx and when previewed, the Visio drawings show up.   When printed, they don't show up.

If I save the document as a 97-2003 (.doc) version, the pages print correctly and the Visio diagram is printed correctly, within the table cell in which it was placed.

I've been checking several articles on the web, but cannot find anything very recent on this issue and the articles that do exist have not provided a solution.

Understandably, my clients want to maintain the documents in the newer version of Word, rather than having to save as an older version, just to be able to print the documents when they've been updated by operational staff.

I've tried turning on / off several print options within Word, to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

What to do when third-party add-in doesn't work?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 07:26 AM PST

In an effort to find a way to import/export Word keyboard shortcuts, I landed a third-party app called "Shortcut Organizer" add-in.

I've placed the .DOT file in the Word Startup folder. The Word Startup folder has been designated a trusted location in Options-Trust Center too.

When I click on the relevant button (Shortcut Organizer) under the Add-in ribbon, however, nothing! When I try to run the individual macro (OrganizeKeyboardShortcuts.MAIN) from the Developer-Macro, also nothing!

This is very strange, because all the other macros from another third-party add-in are operating properly.

Any clue?

Cannot access Word 2013 templates...server issues?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 06:57 AM PST

When searching for online templates an error message comes up saying:
"Your Internet request timed out. The service might be temporarily busy."

I have restarted my Internet and computer with no luck of this changing.  It has been going on for a couple days too.

I am also not able to sign in.  A message comes up when I click the sign in link that says:
"Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues."
This makes me think maybe it's not my computer but something else going on.  I am not able to check for updates either because of Microsoft server issues.

Can anyone out there help me?

Thank you.

Columns to full page size

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:22 AM PST

Dear Sir,

I'm tackling a project in which I did OCR on newspaper clippings. As such the OCR is done and saved as a word document. The problem is that it's saved with the same format as the article, that is in two columns. What I want is the two columns to merge as I was writing regularly with Word, that is the full width of the page. My problem is that If I choose only one column in format, what happens is that the whole width of the page is filled, but the space between the words is increased proportionally.

I hope you understand my situation, if not let me know and I'll give you more information.

Thanks,

Arturo

How can I set Google Mail as the default Share option in Word 2013?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 04:20 AM PST

Sharing from Word 2013 with Outlook installed is brilliant, however our office uses Google Mail (in the browser) and it'd be great to be able to click share within Word 2013, and choose "as attachment" and for that to load of Google compose window... Is this possible, and if so, how?! 

How do I insert multiple TOCs in Word 2010?

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 02:52 AM PST

Split from this thread.

In Word 2010, don't even think about using any of the built-in TOC building blocks. Instead, in References | Table of Contents | Table of Contents, choose Insert Table of Contents..., which will open the classic Table of Contents dialog, where you can click on Options.

Can you describe how to insert multiple TOCs into a document using this method in Word 2010?

Missing files and files opening in Word 2013

Posted: 02 Mar 2015 02:45 AM PST

Split from this thread.

Not only did I find files changed when I downloaded Office 2013, I had a briefcase disappear from the desktop.  While searching for it I found dozens of Word 2007 in the recycle bin.  Upon looking where they were previously, they had been converted to 2013 with the name changed to "new document".  Haven't found the briefcase yet.   I also have Word 2007 and when I attempt to open it, Word 2013 opens.

Problem with custom templates in Word 2013

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 06:04 PM PST

OK: I've moved my old custom Word templates over to the "Custom Templates" folder in Word 2013 with no problem, and they appear  and function just fine. However, there appears to be no way to attach the template to a new Word document, as opposed to opening the template itself. With previous versions of Word, I could specify that I wanted to create a new document or a new template...but in Word 2013, using my custom template there's no such option. I want to attach my template to a new blank document, but when I click on the template file it opens the actual template, so I end up typing into the template instead of a new document based on the template. Help!

Office 2013 not responding

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 03:35 PM PST

I have a problem with both Microsoft Office 2013 Outlook, Word not responding. When I first open them they work for a few minutes, however they then jam up and come up with 'not responding'. This is becoming quite annoying as it is taking up my precious work time restarting the programs every 5 minutes. I have looked at other forums, but none of the solutions seem to work. If somebody could help me it would be great. I have a windows 7 computer. It is a new computer, I only got it 2 weeks ago and it was working fine for the first week but it has been playing up for about a week now. 

Office 2013 no longer opens after receiving automatic update from MS.

Posted: 01 Mar 2015 03:34 PM PST

I have the Office Home & Student 2013 version which I downloaded back in 2013 from MS. After a recent automatic update on 02/23/15, I get the following message box when I try to open any of the office programs from either the program icon or a created document/file:

Header says: office2rclient.exe - Bad Image.  Box content reads: " C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Clientx64\MSVCR100.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc0000020. "

I have tried to uninstall the program but neither the Uninstall or Change button executes when the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 - en-us program is selected on the uninstall program list. The window color changes briefly but nothing else happens.

As well, I tried to reinstall the original program from Microsoft on-line using the product key and got a message that that particular product key can not be downloaded. ??? a lot of good that does the customer.

Ideas??
