| Font changes to 'device font' and won't let me get out of it Posted: 31 Mar 2015 02:30 PM PDT This seems to happen randomly. I'll start a document in a normal font from the dropdown list, usually Cambria, and then in the middle of writing or editing the font for the entire document changes and it doesn't give me the option to change it back to what I want. |
| Update Heading to Match Selection not working in Word 2013 document Posted: 31 Mar 2015 12:28 PM PDT Hello Word Gurus - I have successfully used the Update <Style> to Match Selection functionality in Word many times; but it's not working with two Heading Styles in a particular document. I have tried manually adjusting the indents, right clicking the arrow in the Heading Style to display the Update <Heading Style> to Match Selection option, and selected that option, but it "rejects" the new format and pops right back to the previously formatted indents. I also tried selecting Modify from the Heading Style and adjusting the indentation through Format > Paragraph, but those selections also do not "take." Can anyone shed some light on why these Heading Styles are being so obstinate? |
| Numbering Inside a Table in Word with Merged Cells Posted: 31 Mar 2015 11:18 AM PDT I am trying to re-solve a problem with Microsoft Word using tables inside of word with merged cells. The application is writing procedures using a table. The general table is 6 columns wide by multiple rows. The top row of each table is merged into one row as a title heading and then the second row is split into each column header title. One of the columns is titled Step number. Each row is a step for the procedure. I would like to auto number each step(row) so I don't have manually enter each step number. However my problem is auto numbering system will not work through out the table because the procedure has a rows that are merged together to offer a note or precaution for the upcoming steps. Could you please give me guidance to help use auto numbering for the rows? |

| Microsoft Word Text invisible Posted: 31 Mar 2015 08:29 AM PDT Hi, I've recently opened word and all text is invisible, in new documents and all old documents. So far i've checked: - All text is black
- In Options>Display, there is no hidden text
- Haven't found any similar problems anywhere else online
The only way I can visibly see the text is if I open Design>Page color and mouse over different colors. The text temporarily displays but as soon as one is selected the text disappears again. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! |
| Word - office 365 - picture styles Posted: 31 Mar 2015 07:41 AM PDT Word helpfully offers a menu of one click picture styles when a picture is selected, however none of them match the style I use all the time - is there any way to add a picture style to the offered menu? 
I have a macro - but adding a style seems to make a lot more sense... |
| heading styles Posted: 31 Mar 2015 06:55 AM PDT i have a question about giving heading style to the Appendices .I cannot give any levels to the sections in the Appendices... I am having 4 levels (heading 1 to 4) in each appendix. the first Appendix is fine but when i go to the next appendix, it seems that is grouped with the first one and changes based on the numbers given to the first sections or sub-sections....for example:
Appendix 1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.2
when i go to the Appendix 2 , instead of having 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 , it give me the following heading numbers
1.2....
1.2.1
1.2.2
and it happens to the rest in all appendices.
I hope u can help me in this regards many many thanks |

| Change signature block for digital signature in Word 2010 Posted: 31 Mar 2015 06:14 AM PDT I am working with several offices to move them from paper-based forms to electronic forms. As part of this effort, the electronic forms will need digital signatures. The electronic form needs to mirror the paper version. The paper version of the routing slip used with these forms to indicate signed approvals is one page. If I add the signature blocks for the digital signatures, the form ends up being two pages long, something that the users will not like - they will see having to scroll to a second page on the electronic form as being less efficient than the single page paper version. Looking at the digital signature block, the line where the signature is to be placed, such as a scanned image of a wet signature, is in the middle of the block with a lot of empty space below it. I know that this space is used for the suggested signer's title, but since the space is limited to about 46 characters, it cannot be used as some of the titles are much larger. If it were longer, I would be able to re-arrange the signature blocks so they would all fit on one page, but because of this limitation, the blocks have to stay in a single column, and thus spread across two pages. I need to either: 1. Increase the number of characters that can be displayed as the suggested signer's title so I can lay out the signature blocks to fit on one page, or 2. Be able to add addition lines in the suggested title so the title can be something like Clerk Analysis Section Budget Branch Office of Budget 3. Move the "X____________________" image down in the block so I can reduce the block size by eliminating the unused space below the X__________ image. This will allow all signature blocks to remain on the same page. |

| Run time error 4065 when using VBA code on Word Posted: 31 Mar 2015 02:44 AM PDT Hi, I have managed (with lots of help from this group) to put together a standard quotation word document that once opened displays a userform which then populates the document. I have also added code to generate a unique job number (e.g. CBM1001) and then save as a new document titled CBM1001. It works perfectly on my computer but for some reason any time I try to run the document on any other computer it comes back with a Runtime error 4065. When I debug it shows the following BOLD line as the problem: Dim AutoNew()
Job = System.PrivateProfileString("Q:\Quotations.txt", "macrosettings", "job")
If Job = "" Then
Job = 1000
Else
Job = Job + 1
End If
System.PrivateProfileString("Q:\Quotations.txt", "macrosettings", "job") = Job
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("job").Range.InsertBefore "CBM" & Job
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="Q:\Quotations\" & "CBM" & Job
Me.Repaint
UserForm1.Hide
End Sub I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work but have had no luck so any help or insight anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
| Repairing broken xml code in a docx file - Please help! Posted: 31 Mar 2015 02:21 AM PDT I saved a docx file, but when I open it it gives me an error message about mismatched tags in the xml code. I have read lots of articles about how to fix it, but I am going wrong somewhere. I have managed to extract the xml file from the zipped docx, but the problem is I don't know how to recognise what is wrong with the xml code or what to change to make it better. I have downloaded XML Marker, which shows me where the problem is, and I have messed around with the tags in that area until it says there are no errors, but then when I rezip it and change it back to docx it still won't open in word. So I think I must just not correcting the xml code properly. Is there anyone who would do me a huge favour and have a look at it for me? I feel like for someone who knows code it would be quite easy, there is only one error, but I am totally stumped! I would be eternally grateful to you if you could help me! If you can help, let me know how to send you the file. Thanks |
| Microsoft word is very slow to show what I type Posted: 31 Mar 2015 01:43 AM PDT I have only used word so far, but when I am typing in a document, the letters appear after such a long delay. I have used previous versions of office on mac and windows (using office 365 now) and there has never been any lag this serious. It takes word about 10 seconds to process one line I've typed and if I've made a mistake etc. I need to wait for what I've typed to come on screen the count how many times I press the arrow key to go back and wait for that, then edit and wait then continue where I left off. I can't use my mouse when its processing and I've tried to turn off things like animations but it's still the same slow experience. This only happens when I'm on battery but plugged in the wall it's better. Is there a setting to reduce the cpu usage or whatever? Like I said I turned off most unnecessary animations but it's as slow as ever. |
| Word 2013 Mail Merge issue Posted: 31 Mar 2015 12:38 AM PDT Hi All, I am currently looking into an issue for one of our users. They are running a Mail Merge in Word 2013 to generate letters for customers and are encountering an issue where the merge completes but it is only merging approx half of the records in the completed document. The template document is 12 pages in length and there are a total of 325 records in the source data, we are using the "Edit Individual Documents" option for completing the merge as they need to check the letters before printing. The source document is a .txt document, if we run the merge on a machine that is still running Word 2010 the merge completes and we get a final document which is 3900 pages in length but in Word 2013 it will only ever produce a document which is 1956 pages in length. I have been able to reproduce this issue on multiple machines running Word 2013. i have found that if i use the "Print Documents" option in Word 2013 the merge completes successfully. is anyone able to provide any suggestions as to how we resolve this Thanks Gary |
| Word 2010: Table of contents showing mixed up page numbers Posted: 31 Mar 2015 12:29 AM PDT I have a table of contents on my Word document and I find that the page numbers aren't even right or in order. The table of contents worked well on Word 2007, but in 2010, this happens. A screenshot of the table of contents is attached. Is there a way to reset the page numbers by updating the table or do I have to manually enter the page numbers?
