Lost complete access to Word document

I wrote a few short stories years ago and I put a password on each of them. I do not remember the password. Is there any way that I can regain access to them?

Advanced Find and Replace Query

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 01:09 PM PDT

So I'm cleaning up some texts, and they have fancy hyperlink "Page X" in little grey boxes interspersed through the document. This document is quite long, and I don't want to take them all out by hand. However, I can't seem to create a find a replace that hits page + ascending number, nor can I make one that takes out the hyperlink after I F9 reveal it -- the final } when I do that is some strange format that the find and replacer can't locate. 

Any tips?

Sample wanted - a Word document using all styles

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:38 AM PDT

I would like a Word document or template that I can pass around a small office to look at a variety of style and theme settings. Can someone point me to a report that has many of the options that might be used like quotes, numbered lists, a table of content, an index, etc.? I'm looking for something that we can all sit around and look at on screen and choose a set of styles and fonts that we would all use for an office template. I've looked at a half dozen or so templates but none that I have found so far have more than a couple of pages.

Thanks

Bubble content not readable

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:31 AM PDT

In my document, the content in the bubbles, using Track Changes, is not readable. It is either an extremely small font, or just short little horizontal lines. I've tried every thing I can find or think of to make it possible to read the bubble content, especially for comments.  "Show comments" did not help.  How do I make settings that permit me to read bubble content?

Thanks.

Hi,

As the post title says, Word por-up an error always I open the document: "This document contains links that may refer to other files. Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files?"

Office 365 - Newer but not better

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 10:06 AM PDT

I cannot be the only ordinary consumer to be so deeply frustrated at the mass of faults with office 365.

It is graphically a dogs breakfast, has a confused UI and is full of ways to make what used to be easy now needlessly complicated and unstable.

I have simple lost count of the hours I have wasted trying to work with the applications that were previously so much more manageable and I have lost work countless times with hanging, dropping out and glitching.

The result is so unsatisfactory and leaves consumers struggling to de-bug and fix troubles that really should never have been there.

If you didn't know any better you would probably think this is how it is going to be; but really,  could no-one at Microsoft realise that when you make something newer your customers also expect it to be better.

So unhappy with this mess I now have to work with.

Has anyone got a summary of sensible measures to address the obvious faults that no doubt most users are struggling with?

and why, by the way do I have to select from a list of categories which do not apply in order to be able to post anything??

...so the negative comments are hidden away no doubt :(

Issues with Word Compatibility Pack after installing OneNote

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 09:54 AM PDT

I work in a school where we have Office 2003 installed and the appropriate compatibility pack installed so staff with newer versions of Word at home can open documents in school.

I recently installed OneNote on my class computer and since then, docx files that open on other computers won't open.

Can anyone think of a reason for this? I really don't want to uninstall OneNote as it offers a really simple way to get photographs from my iPad on to the computers.

Thanks for any advice!

Mail merge using outlook 365 on my server

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 09:12 AM PDT

Hello friends,

A friend of mine owns a company and 5-6 users are using the same contacts groups found in office 365 - exchange (cloud).

He needs to create a mail merge every now and then using this shared contact group.  The problem is that the user might be the one or the other each time.

I have tried to make mail merge using his PC (MS-Word 2013) using outlook  contacts and works just fine. 

If i move the mail merge template to another PC it doesnt work properly since it looks in e.g. C: userABC....

Is there any way to make mail merge using the contacts directly from outlook 365 (cloud) or any other way to have this mail merge in the server?

Thanking you in advance,

Word-Drop Down List

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 08:49 AM PDT

Within a Word document, I would like to have an outline.  I would like to have hidden information under each of the bullet items that would appear with the drop down list function.  So, at first all you would see would be the box with the drop down arrow and when you click on the arrow the next level of bullets would appear. It is just a hidden list you don't have to select anything from the list.  Then, the list could close and you continue  reading the Word document until you come to another bullet with a list to view more information.

It would function similar to what I see on this entry screen where you have:

Category:

-Select One- (drop down arrow)

Then, the list appears. 

My example:

  • Opens to contact view (drop down button here)
    • Use icons to switch views
    • Can manually change status
  • Find and add contacts (drop down button here)
    • Type name, department or title in search bar
    • Right click, Add (can select multiple, can search groups)
    • Can create a new group
    • Click New to see who has added you

Windows opened in Excel and Word won't maximize from the task bar - Solution

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 08:03 AM PDT

I've run into a problem with Word and Excel on multiple computers, both at home and at work, in which Word and Excel files won't maximize from the task bar after you open them. It has only happened to me with Office 2013. It seems to occur when I already have a document open in Word or Excel and then try to open a second or third one of the same file type. The solution I've discovered is to click on the "Restore Desktop" button in the very righthand lower corner of the monitor. After doing that, the window comes right up the next time I try to maximize it.

I think Microsoft missed a bug in their program.

Placing text boxes over a table

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 12:48 AM PDT

I'm trying to make what seemed like a relatively straightforward document using Word 2010. The basic premise is that it's a schedule to show timelines for various projects planned for the coming fiscal year. I have created a table that shows the main objectives on the left and the months at the top. I then tried to just overlay some text boxes over the month cells to show each individual project and its expected planning period.

However, it seems the way Word anchors text boxes makes it nearly impossible to do this, as the text boxes get anchored inside cells and they jump all over the place when moved around, especially when trying to place two text boxes close together. I cannot even use the cursor keys for precision movement, because moving a box, say, to the right will cause it to shift to the upper right or lower left or god knows where else. Is there any way around this behavior?

2013 Office Language Preferences

Posted: 26 Mar 2015 12:06 AM PDT

Hello,

I have installed Office 2013 Home & Student and updated the language preferences, however I am unable to have Word edit Portuguese (Portugal).

This language appears as Enabled/Installed (showing the ABC editing check mark) under File>Options>Language, but this is not the case when editing the actual document, where the ABC check mark is no longer visible during language selection.

I do not have a problem with English, French or Spanish.

All proofing packs (Portuguese & Spanish) have been downloaded as the x64 version. I have restarted my computer, but there is no change. I am not sure why the language can show within Word 2013's Options as Enabled/Installed/editable language, but not so when actually editing a document.

I was prompted to install the proofing tool (which I already have as mentioned above) while typing as the program was not able to proof my text. This was after setting Portuguese as Default and restarting Word, but with no effect.

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you beforehand.

Microsoft Word App

HI,

I started a document on the Microsoft Word App for ipad yesterday.  Closed the app, watched some netflix, went to bed.  Finished the document today, went to the store to get a USB stick...came home and its like the document never existed.  It must have saved because it was there today after closing the app last night.

My assignment is due tomorrow.  I've tried reinstalling the app and logging into my onedrive, its like the document never existed!?!?

Any suggestions...otherwise I'm up all night starting from scratch and never using a microsoft product again!!!!

Exchange corrupting .evt log files

I would agree with Mark. Exchange isn't corrupting them. It doesn’t care

I would however look at everything in between. The sending mechanism, any

I am unaware of any MS built in tools that allow find and replace. There is
however a company that has a find and replace tool but I do not know if it
supports finding the Exchange server attribute and then changing that.

As this is an MS forum I do not want to list the tool but if you google
search for "Active Directory find and replace tool" you should find it. Give
them a call and ask if this would do what you want.

Deleted views reappear in shared calendar

Posted: 03 Feb 2009 08:13 AM PST

Andy, Ok i'll try that.
But please explain to me exactly how come these views come up.
I have a feeling that when other users open the shared calendar and the
deleted view is the seelcted view, Exchange pushes it back to the shared
calendar.
It also seems to have a side effect to users with Outlook 2007 - that is
some views become "Unable to open" for users with OTL2007. Users with
OTL2003 still can thought.

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Mail Merge BCM 2010 & Word 2010

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 03:16 PM PDT

I must be missing something... Trying to perform a physical print mail merge from a list of business contact manager biz contacts and have the correct mailing address merged with the <<AddressBlock>> merge field preset in a new Word document. By correct, I mean the mailing address (either home, business, or other) that corresponds to the checkbox titled "This is the mailing address" in the BCM contact record.

Many contacts have all three address allocations filled, and we need to send correspondence to the correct mailing address which may be a biz address for one record and a home address for another record. So simply mapping the <<AddressBlock>> components such as Address1 to Business Street (as defaulted in a Word/BCM mail merge document) will not work because every merged letter addressed to those contacts who do not have a business address listed will merge with no address displayed, even if they have a home address listed and the "This is the mailing address" checkbox is checked next to the Home address.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Word won't work now because it says I'm missing VBE6INT.DLL

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 02:26 PM PDT

The OCR software that came with my scanner wasn't working, so I tried downloading Microsoft Document Imaging. I couldn't find a way to download it on its own, but I found instructions on how to download it as part of Sharepoint Designer, then deselecting everything in the installation except for MDI.

Then I found I got that missing VBE6INT.DLL error when I tried to use Word. Word won't even function now.

So I thought maybe I should uninstall MDI, but I couldn't find it in my programs list. So I thought maybe I needed to uninstall Sharepoint Designer (which I already had anyway, but somehow MDI hadn't been a part of it).

 But after the uninstall, Word still doesn't work.

I found a website that says VBE6INT.DLL is probably a file used by more than one Microsoft program and that when you install or uninstall something, that file can be moved so the system can't find it where it thinks it should be.

The site had instructions for fixing it with the CLI, but it didn't work for me.

It also suggested fixing the Registry but only by using Microsoft products since registry cleaners can come with malware. That site recommended WinThrust which turned out to be paid software that isn't connected with Microsoft at all. So I tried to get it to at least fix the first 15 free errors, but it didn't help. I then uninstalled WinThrust.

I tried running Microsoft Security Essentials, but if it fixed any registry problems, it sure doesn't show. Word still won't work.

But now I'm stumped. I don't know what else to try to fix this. Our IT person doesn't know either. Her first solution to everything is to erase everything and reinstall. Help!

Can't get Word 2013 macro-enabled template to work

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:35 AM PDT

Hi Guy's,

I have a macro-enabled template, .dotm, which includes a button on the Quick Access toolbar. Clicking this button runs a macro which saves the files to a location on the user's machine with a generated file name and also gives the user the option to open the folder where it is saved to.

The template was created in Word 2010 and is stored in Word's STARTUP folder for each user, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

all of whom are running Windows 7 professional with a mix of Office 2010 and Office 2013

There are no problems in Word 2010. However when opening a new document in Word 2013 the button appears on the Quick Access toolbar as expected but when clicked the message "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings." is displayed.

I don't understand why this is as all the macros settings are fully enabled, plus

- startup folder being a trusted location

- Macro security set to "enable all macros"

- Template loaded and ticked in the Templates and Add-ins property window

- Protected view turned off

Does anyone have any ideas?

Rebooting Windows 7 with open Word files leaves a mess.

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:17 AM PDT

I'm running Microsoft Word 2007 on Widows 7 .  I usually have a half dozen or more Word files open at the same time.  If Word crashes, or Microsoft comes along in the middle of the night and reboots my system, I'm left with a mess when I restart Word.  In the left pane under "Document Recovery" are all the Word files I had open with "Repaired" notices. When I click one it opens in Word but if I try to save it I get the message:

If I click Show Repairs I always see something about Bookmarks,  like:

I close this and hit Save, where Word wants to save the file under a name that adds "(Repaired)" to the original name.   After the save I then have to go back and rename the last good save of the file under a name that includes the date it was saved, and then rename this new "Repaired" file to the current version of the file, i.e., remove the "(Repaired)". 

This is a real pain to go through every time Word crashes or Microsoft reboots my computer, so how can I avoid this?  I never set or use bookmarks in my Word files so I don't know why it's complaining about Bookmarks.  Is there a way to completely disable them?

Thanks for any help.

Word is slow, but Excel and PowerPoint are not

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:10 AM PDT

Excel and PowerPoint 2007 are percolating along just fine.   Big documents are sometimes slow, but they are big documents, which is to be expected.  I am patient.  However Word is a different animal.  It takes days to just open.  This isn't opening a file, just to open.  Once I'm in, working with a file isn't an issue.  Saving can be slow too.  Any ideas on how to speed up Word?  It seems like there was some event that caused it to slow down, but I can't pin point what caused this (an update, installing something new, phase of the moon, didn't like my new phone).  Thanks!

Ever since I got this Word Starter 2010 thing, "page x of y" hasn't happened because I'm not smart enough to understand if it is possible in Starter, let alone figure out how to do it.

Hi

Is there any way to create a code that would find a closing quotation mark, preceded by full point/period, at the end of a quote starting with lower case, but not at the end of one starting with an initial cap? For example,  it would find 'this is the life.' but would not find 'This is the life.' Likewise, is there a code to do things the other way round, finding 'This is the life'. but not 'this is the life'.?

Finally, is there a code for finding material within parentheses beginning with an initial cap and ending with a full point/period outside, rather than inside, the closing parenthesis? E.g. It would find (Hi there, nice to meet you). but not (Hi there, nice to meet you.)?

I've struggled with these for countless hours but had no success.

Thanks, and best wishes

Automatic switch of font when printing

Posted: 25 Mar 2015 01:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I have been searching through online communities, wikis and all sorts of information sources, but have been unable to find an answer to my question.

Perhaps you can help me.

I'm using Microsoft Word 2013 (15.0.4701.1001) as part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. I am creating manuals for our clients and some of them prefer reading them straight on a computer or tablet, some of them prefer a printed version. I am wondering if I can make a document that is read with a sans-serif font on screen (in this case Calibri), but if the user decides to print the document, the document will automatically be printed with serif font (I'm thinking Cambria)?

Today we simply get around this by making two versions of the same document, but that means double the work when something needs to be revised or reformatted.

Best regards,

Oa

I have used this template successfully for several months until now. Today, while working on the document containing the last page in question, I attempted to insert a graphic. When I clicked on insert, my mouse (laptop touch pad mouse) started spinning, Word encountered a problem,  when another Windows Update interrupted, but Word returned recovered. Since then, the last page, which never gave me issues before, fills up one page, but is spread slightly to the next, as if there is too much information for one page. I had to remove the last row for the table to fit on one page. Print View shows the table completely filling the page.

However, when I print the page, a large gap or blank space shows where the removed row previously existed. (Again, it appears full while viewing, but not when printed.)

None of my printer settings have been altered, unless an unknown glitch did something to the settings.

I have an Asus laptop, Windows 7, Office 2010. If you need any more information let me know.

I have had the most problems with Windows updates, which messed up my web cam and caused me to have to do a system restore on another occasion. Please help!

Microsoft Word

When I try to open Microsoft word 2013 it tells me that something is preventing is from working properly.  It ask if I want to repair, help or close.  When I check repair it does nothing.  It was working before, but I don't know why it is not working now. Any suggestions?

User Does Not Have Access Privileges

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 04:02 PM PDT

I really need help with this because I've been trying to research this problem all day. I can not access a Word document that I saved in one of my folders. All of the other word documents are fine in the same folder but when I press this particular file that I had just saved (approximately 2 seconds had passed before I tried reopening the doc.) the message pops up "Word cannot open the document: User does not have access privileges".

It doesn't make any sense to me because I am the admin and there are no other user profiles on this laptop.

People keep saying that I have to claim ownership of the file but when I try to do that I get another message.

Here's what I did:

  1.  Right click on the document
  2.  Click Properties
  3.  Click Security tab
  4.  Click Advanced
  5.  On top it says Unable to display current owner. I Click on Change
  6. Then it says "You do not have permission to view or edit this Object's permission settings"

If I attach the doc. to an email I can attempt to open it but then I get a message saying that it's corrupted. If it being corrupt means I can no longer access the file EVER because it's damaged, can someone please explain WHY this happened. I worked hard on this doc. and "saved as" under one of my folders I often use, closed Word, then I realized that I needed to add something so I tried to reopen it. I must add that I can actually open the doc. from inside Word but not through File Explorer.   I don't know what any of this means , maybe it's all simple, but I have no idea how to work computers so it would be greatly appreciated if someone can help me please.

You really need to look at the CD for the version of Office you have and if

The only other way to get Small Business for more than the one/one

When you point to your Volume Icon, you should get a Tooltip with

IF YOU DID install the modem, uninstall it and see what happens. That

That's because my on-board Modem is a Voice Modem used for

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

From "man fdisk" ...
fdisk doesn't understand GUID Partition Table (GPT) and it is not
designed for large
partitions. In particular case use more advanced GNU parted(8).

While your kernel appears to have guid support enabled, you have
to use partitioning software that also supports it, and you have
to select guid as the partition table type (aka gpt).

With parted, you would use "mklabel gpt", followed by the normal
partition creation.

Protecting the Windows using Linux

Follow-up header respected, albeit that I haven't been subscribed to
that group anymore in a few years already.
 

Xen is primarily suited for server deployment, albeit that it can be
used with workstation set-ups as well - see her down The thing
about Xen is that it's a bare metal hypervisor, so it doesn't run
inside a host operating system. Everything running on top of Xen -
including the management system - is a virtual machine.

It's similar to how mainframes work, but with the difference that the
operating system in direct control of the hypervisor on a mainframe is
a specialized single-user system, while on Xen it must be either
GNU/Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD or (Open)Solaris, all of which are
UNIX-style systems and thus multi-user. It is however advised,
especially for server set-ups, not to have any users log into the
management virtual machine, or perhaps, just one user, and have that
user then use /su/ and/or /sudo/ to obtain root privileges.

(Note with regard to the above: I always disable all direct root logins,
both remote and local, on all of my machines, virtual or physical, and
thus an unprivileged user account must then be used to log in directly,
and /su/ from there on. This means that any cracker breaking into the
system must instead of guessing only the root password now guess my
user account's login, its password, and then the root password.)

If you intend to run GNU/Linux-only guest systems (and as servers), then
you might also want to look into OpenVZ and Vserver as an alternative
solution. This is another kind of virtualization, at the operating
system level, i.e. you then run multiple userspace "containers" (also
called "zones") on top of a common kernel, with one userspace context
being "the host", from which you can access all others.

OpenVZ and Vserver are similar to eachother but there are some important
differences. For instance, Vserver uses a copy-on-write system for the
guests which is economic in diskspace, but OpenVZ has more
possibilities and uses a more recent kernel - 2.6.18 for "stable" and
2.6.26 and 2.6.27 for "testing". Another operating system which offers
this kind of virtualization would for instance be (Open)Solaris.

Personally I would like to see the OpenVZ adopted into the upstream
Linux kernel. It already has a now quite mature Xen support built-in
(for both dom0 and domU) and it also offers KVM and lguest as
additional virtualization technologies, but those are too much akin to
the third party virtual machine monitor set-ups of VMWare (Workstation)
and VirtualBox. Operating system level virtualization would be a nice
complement to GNU/Linux, especially since OpenSolaris already offers it
as well, and if I'm not mistaken, then FreeBSD also already had it at
one stage (although I think they've removed it again now - I'm not
sure.)

In the event of a Xen set-up, each of the virtual machines runs a
complete operating system, i.e. kernel plus userspace. So there's a
little more RAM overhead than with OpenVZ or Vserver. Otherwise, Xen
performs very well in comparison. With paravirtualization, performance
of the guests is only some 1% or 2% slower than if they were running on
the bare metal.

Another advantage is that Xen can run different types of guest operating
systems. You can even run Windows as an unprivileged guest on Xen, but
only on the condition that your hardware has virtualization extensions,
because Windows can obviously not be paravirtualized, since the code is
not free. Microsoft did at one stage - during the development of Xen -
supply a paravirtualized version of Windows XP, but this version was
never licensed for retail; it was solely intended for testing by the
Xen developers.

Performance-wise, hardware virtualization is slower than
paravirtualization, though. With hardware virtualization, part of the
hardware the HW virtual machine sees is emulated by Xen, using the Qemu
device manager. This emulated hardware is also not exactly "the latest
and greatest", but at least it works reliably.

Paravirtualization on the other hand is an approach in which the
unprivileged guest operating system is "aware" that it is running
virtualized. A paravirtual guest has a kernel which uses
so-called "front-end" drivers, which are basically an abstraction layer
that connects to the "real" back-end drivers running in the dom0
virtual machine. So there is no emulation involved, and all of the
systems running on that one physical machine actually become one big
multifunctional virtual machine operating system. Again, it's like a
mainframe system.

Xen also allows the sysadmin to tailor performance by configuring how
many virtual CPUs each guest can use, and for performance-critical
virtual machines, it is possible to assign one or multiple physical CPU
cores to them, so that the other virtual machines cannot use those.
There are also multiple scheduling options for shared physical CPUs.

On the networking side of things, Xen defaults to bridging, but it is
possible to use routing/NAT as well - scripts are supplied to easily
set up whatever configuration you prefer. Xen also supports isolating
certain hardware from the management virtual machine (dom0) so that
this hardware can be directly accessed by one of the unprivileged
virtual machines (domU), which is then considered a "secondary driver
domain"; this is again often applied in (Open)Solaris, even with Sun's
own bare metal hypervisor - I forgot what it's called. In other words,
if you're running a virtual machine which needs a lot of network
bandwidth and your physical machine has two NICs, then you can choose
to hide one NIC from dom0 and have this particular virtual machine
access the second NIC directly with a regular driver and without having
to use the bridging or routing via dom0's NIC.

The machine I am currently working on - i.e. setting up; I'm not talking
of the machine I am typing this from - is going to be running Xen with
multiple paravirtualized Gentoo GNU/Linux virtual machines - the dom0
plus two domUs. One of the domUs will have direct access to a limited
set of hardware - i.e. a dedicated PCIe video adapter card, the
on-board sound chip and all USB hubs - which will then of course be
hidden from dom0, and the second domU will be running an OpenVZ kernel
with multiple "zones", installed as "headless servers".

Virtualization on top of virtualization, and all of it is Free & Open
Source Software. ;-) (Okay, that last line was specifically intended
for COLA. :p)

"there can be only one kernel" and the 3rd-party software
installations such as NVidia. And don't get me going on how foolish it
is to publish a kernel SRPM where the patch files are hidden inside
tarballs, to be plucked and chosen among by shell scripts.
Errrggghhh!)

Manuel actually asked an interesting question, the sort that's worth
trying to answer and educate with even if it seems foolish to someone
already more familiar with how these things work.

For example: optimizing the "initrd", which is not actually a script
but a compressed, mountable file system for old reasons involving
bootstrapping from 1.44 MByte floppies, is an interesting way to try
to speed things up. Optimizing the init scripts, which is a different
matter, is actually something people are actively pursuing, and it's
one of the lengthier parts of the boot procedure. Optimizing the BIOS
itself is also possible, but takes considerable courage and some
knowledge to do. (LinuxBIOS isn't broadly supported yet, but it's
awfully cool if you can make it work.)

Manuel, I'm glad you're more clear now on the difference between grub,
the boot loader, and the init processes. They're tricky: they're shell
scripts, fitting a very standardized layout to ease management, but
they really *weren't* written for speed. For example, throwing out all
that nice sanity checking of config files and testing whether they
exist is going to slow things down. And the various funky bits
designed to make the printouts look pretty are a complete waste of
most user's time: We don't care of the output is "OK" or a splufty,
pretty green OK printing subroutine, but we needn't waste our time
loading up shell function files if we just print "OK".
