| forgot to write down the Original Name of Add-in dotm file Posted: 06 Mar 2015 01:53 PM PST My MS Word 2010 continues to stop working. I was following the process outlined in a blog, same instructions Doug Robbins actually provided to another user. I missed the part of writing down the original name of the DOTM file before I renamed it to OLD and it turns out the program still does the same Stopped Working issue. I do not have the original names of the 2 DOTM files and need to know who to proceed PLEASE? |
| E-mail links created in Office 2013 opening a browser window rather than an e-mail message window Posted: 06 Mar 2015 01:13 PM PST When I create an e-mail link in an Office 2013 document and click on it (Ctrl+Click) the link opens a browser window rather than an e- mail window. I know how to create links of all types in Office as I've been doing it for years. The link is correct in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. The E-mail address block in the Linked to column is selected and the link in the E-mail address line reads mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy *** (not the real e-mail address name, obviously). This is happening accross all of the office programs. I do have the e-mail icon on the Quick Access Tool Bars which correctly launch a new e-mail message window when clicked. I am new to Office 2013, however, and I'm also using a new Windows 8.1 laptop, where I previosly was using Vista. I don't know if that has anything to with it but any help or thoughts with this issue are welcome! |
| mail merge field sizes with word 2013 Posted: 06 Mar 2015 12:46 PM PST I know that there is a work around for merging fields of more than 255 characters but is there a way to identify when a field exceeds the 255 limit without create the dummy record. I am importing a number of text fields where the entry can be greater than 255. What I am trying to do is determine if there is a way to flag that field and then I can go back and manually edit as required. |
| Lines showing across page in MS Word Posted: 06 Mar 2015 10:48 AM PST MS Word 2013 is displaying shaded horizontal lines between each paragraph: These are not paragraph or page borders, nor horizontal rules. They do not print. What causes them, and how can they be made to go away? |
| Table too wide when copied into email message Posted: 06 Mar 2015 09:10 AM PST I'm having a problem with formatting an email message in Outlook 2010. Since Outlook uses Word to compose messages, I'm posting the message in the Word forum. I'm copying a table from Excel 2010 into an email message. The table is formatted, with cells about 1.5 inches wide. It looks fine when I compose the message. But then after it's sent - when the recipient receives it or I look at it in my Sent folder - the rightmost column is too wide. In the rightmost column is text, which is word-wrapped to multiple lines. Outlook's reformatting expands it to full width, and doesn't retain the word wrap. When I try to forward the message, I'm unable to narrow that column to a normal width by dragging the right column border in the normal way. Any suggestions? |
| List of open Word documents in taskbar changes spontaneously Posted: 06 Mar 2015 09:02 AM PST I usually have 10 to 12 Word documents open at once. When I mouse over the Word icon on the task bar, I see the list. I have opened these documents in a specific order (their file names begin with 01, 02, 03, etc.) so I can easily locate & click on the document I want to paste something into. After a few hours, I discover that the order has changed. For example, file 01 might be in the 7th position, and an un-numbered document might now be at the top of the list. Why does this happen? How can I make it stop? |
| Document format changed after saved as the file Posted: 06 Mar 2015 08:43 AM PST Dear all, The format of the document changed after I saved as the file. (the original file and the save as file type are both .docx) Is there any way to avoid this and preserve the file formatting after save as? Thanks! |

Hi, Thank you for this wonderful forum, it has been a life saver and time saver on may occasions. This time I am looking for a method of converting a merged MS Word document into an Excel spread sheet with the individual merged documents appearing in separate cells of the spreadsheet. I am using Excel as a tool to format and manipulate data that is then uploaded to a database. The database is very fussy and will reject files with any carriage returns or machine code. I need the Excel CLEAN function to eliminate all punctuation before uploading. I am using MS Word to generate HTML Templates and need to convert them into a CSV file in Excel to CLEAN and then upload them to the database. Currently I am copying and pasting each completed template document into Excel. This was ok but now the files are getting larger with a high number of records. Is there a simple method to convert a merged MS word document into separate records on an Excel Spreadsheet? Once in Excel format I would use VLOOKUP to place each document in the correct cell on the upload sheet. Any guidance is appreciated. I also posted this query on the Excel Forum |
| Refreshing chart fills when the chart data increases - Word 2013 Posted: 06 Mar 2015 06:50 AM PST Hi, I'm experiencing the following issue. According to the documentation the only way to redistribute chart style is with chart template. But when i customize and use chart template (img 1) and the update the data for the chart, the styles are not reapplied (img 2). I need to reapply the template in order for the new bars to take the appropriate fills from the chart template. (img 3). This also happens with texture fills. My question is: Is there a fix for this bug? or is there a way to create custom style and add it to the list in the Chart Styles? |
| Large document with section breaks that need tohave page numbers "continue from previous section" Posted: 06 Mar 2015 06:40 AM PST I am working with a large business document that has many section breaks in order to inform the reader what section (chapter) they are reading. I am having a problem getting the page numbers to stay continuous throughout the document after I have saved and closed the file. I have selected page number / format page number/ continue from previous section and it worked correctly while I am in the document, but after saving and closing the document it will not hold those changes once I've reopened the file. Any suggestions? |

| Navigating from hyperlink to hyperlink in a large document Posted: 06 Mar 2015 06:31 AM PST I have a very large document that contains many hyperlinks. I would like to know if there is a way to navigate from hyperlink to hyperlink while I'm verifying that the links are still active. The alternative is scrolling through each page in the document until I find the next hyperlink...which isn't efficient. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

| Posted: 05 Mar 2015 08:24 PM PST For the last few days, printing my usual document (Word 2013) comes out at about 65% of true scale. This happens to old versions of this doc, which used to print correctly. Other (unrelated) docs also print correctly. I installed Shrink One Page on the ribbon but when I click on it, Word hangs up. (Also, I don't know exactly what Shrink One Page means.) I suspect the problem has something to do with templates but I don't know how to change them. Any suggestions will be appreciated. |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2015 03:04 PM PST Hello all, There's text in a document - without tables, placeholders or textboxes - that seems to disappear on its own. When I view the file in Read Mode at Zoom % at 120 or below, it is there. When you zoom in, it disappears. When you view it in Print layout or any other layout, it disappears irrespective of the zoom level. The behavior stays the same in safe mode too. I've read various answers to this and I've tried changing default printer to XPS, disabled the hardware graphics too but the issue is quite persistent. Thanks in anticipation of your help here. Regards, Chaitrali |
| Slight difference gets magnified Posted: 04 Mar 2015 09:02 PM PST I have two versions of my document that are supposed to be identical. But on one specific page, one document contains one more line at the bottom of a specific page than the other. This difference gets magnified as the document proceeds until one doc has a whole extra page. (I don't want the extra page.) This messes up my page "parity" (each major part should start on an odd page). I don't know why there is a difference. I've checked the page size, margins, and styles and they are the same. This problem has cost me almost a week of editing and I never know when the difference might pop up again. Any ideas? |
