How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View
I have a high resolution wide screen monitor. Every time I open a Word document in full screen, it switches to the Multiple Pages view (typically 2 pages, side by side). I hate this view! I can't read 2 pages at a time. I always want a single page view. Does anyone know if there is a way to stop Word changing to this view? I am using Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2202 Build 16.0.14931.20128) 64-bit
Page numbering isn't working
Hi, I am trying to set numbers on the pages but it's not working properly. For example, it starts from the first page as 1, then the second page takes the number 2, then the third page takes the number 1, the forth page takes the number 2, the fifth the number 1 adn it repeats itself. The way I tried to numbering the pages was: Insert -> Page number -> Bottom page Insert -> Footer -> Page number -> Bottom page But the result is the same. Also, I tried to remove all the footers and page numbers by selecting remove footers and page numbers and then re-adding the page numbers but again, the same issue. When I use the bar on the right to scroll up or down, it shows the Page number. But when I am at page 12 (out of the 13) for example, it says Page 3. An example of what I mean: Any idea why that might be? I cannot share the document because it is a paper to be published. Microsoft Word version 2401 (Build 17231.20236 Click-to-Run), Windows 10.
Help please
Ok so I have tried the customer support and they could not comprehend what I was asking. I have a word document for work. In that document I have a date block, and its in the same spot on multiple pages. The way it is currently setup, is it will automatically update the date to what is on my computer on all pages, when I open the document. The problem is, I print these documents out every day, the day before. I have to go to my settings, turn off automatic date and time, change it to tomorrows date, and re-open the document to print it out. It frustrating to have to go through these steps and every so often I forget to change the date back on my computer. So... My question is, is there a way that I can set up a box on the first page and manually enter the date I want, then it will change, by itself, on all of the following pages to what I put it to on the first page? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ruler-less in Word
After an hour of typing back-and-forth with the chat person, I was told that I should post my concern here because this fellow couldn't figure it out. I'm working with Microsoft Word on a MacBook Air and all of a sudden today the ruler stopped showing up. The tech guy had me uninstall office and then reinstall it and it's still a problem. It's in print layout view and both new documents as well as old documents display without the ruler I'm hoping someone can help me with this soon. I can't believe this is the way Microsoft actually provides tech-support to its customers. other companies when the first resource person can't solve the problem they bump you up and they let you actually talk to someone.
Word 365 iOS keeps switching to Auto-Detect Headings even when switched off
There is a bug in Word for iOS that causes the "Auto-Detect Headings" option to ALWAYS revert to on. I toggle this setting off every time I open a document, and it turns itself back on every single time I close and reopen the document. This used to be a problem in the past, was eventually fixed, but has now started happening again.2 sequential numbers?
I use Word 365. I created a serial label in Word with five labels per page. I also inserted a sequential number there. I also inserted another sequential number in a second place. When I create it, the number 1 is correctly displayed. If I then click the Update Label button, the number jumps to 5, and this is the case for all five labels. On the next page, all five labels have the number 10, and so on. How can I create the second sequential number correctly?
Microsoft Word file names changing to .~WRD[4 Digits] and then deleting themselves
I have multiple word documents saved on an external hard drive. After upgrading to Microsoft Word for Mac Version 16.55 (21111400) and upgrading my mac to Mac OS Catalina Version 10.15.7, I started noticing issues when trying to save Word documents on my external hard drive. When I try to hit Command+Save (and sometimes before I even try to save), the file name changes to .~WRD followed by 4 random digits. Then I get an error message stating "Additional permissions are required to access the following files: /Volumes/G-DRIVE mobile USB-C/.Te...ing Saved by Word 170)/.~WRD3512." When I hit the "Select" button, I am then taken to a menu that says "Please select the file .~WRD3512." But no file appears and I cant select "Grant Access." So I click cancel. When I try to select File > Save, I get the message: This document’s file has been changed by another application since you opened or saved it. The changes made by the other application will be lost if you save. Save anyway? If I select save, I get taken back to the Grant File Access page described above. So I cant save the document. Then, when I try to close out the document, it gives me the prompt: Do you want to save the changes made to the document “.~WRD3512 [Compatibility Mode]”? Your changes will be lost if you don't save them. In the case of the lost document, since I couldn't save, I had to click "Don't Save." Then, I saw that neither the original document was in the folder nor was the renamed document. So my document completely disappeared, despite years of working on it and saving it multiple times. Since it was on an external hard drive, Time Machine didn't back it up and I have no idea where it is. Im absolutely mortified and stressed as this was a very long and important document. I simply cannot understand or believe how this happened. Has anyone had a similar problem to this? Do you know how I can recover the file? Does anyone know why this happened / what is happening? Any info would be greatly appreciated
