Generate Dollar Signs in Word Template
I am using a Word template to create and invoice with Power Automate. I have two tables in the Word template. Two of the columns in each table should display numbers as currency, specifically dollars. The generated template only shows the content as numbers. Can I correct this, and if so how?
Movable shapes within set range or rating slider
Good morning everyone, I have been struggling with a document for some time and would like to ask the community here for potential solution. I created a document with a table with columns below. For a large part of the table, I want them to be read only. In one column, the user should be able to input free text. In another column, I'd like to put in a slider image for each row, and allow the user to move a bar shape or a triangle shape to indicate the rating. I somehow get what I wanted with the text fields and the checkbox fields with "Review --> Protect --> Restricted Editing", but not the slider/shape fields. Have anyone done this before or have some ideas as to how this can be realized? Thanks!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-bitText will not copy from other programs to word (Mac)
I have recently encountered a problem with copying and pasting to and from Word. Copying text into Word: Text from other programs (including Firefox, Chrome, TextEdit, Notes, and Excel) will not paste into Microsoft Word. Instead, what pastes when I hit Command+v (or right click and select "Paste") is the last text that I copied from a Microsoft Word document. Interestingly, pasting without formatting works as expected. Copying from Word into other programs: At some point, I copied the following text in a Microsoft Word document: The recent review of Edwards et al., (DOI: ...) Now, whenever I try to copy (some other) text from Microsoft Word and paste it into Google Docs or Google Sheets, what pastes is the above text. If I attempt to paste the text into the body of an email in Gmail, the above text ("The recent review...") is what appears. Interestingly, if I paste the text into the To: or Subject: lines of the email, pasting works as expected. I can also paste into the url bar in browsers without issue. Again, pasting without formatting is working as expected. Text from other programs (TextEdit, Notes) copies and pastes into Google products as expected. This issue began for me about a week ago. Any advice would be helpful. Edit: I am running Mac OS 13.6.6 (Ventura). My computer has an Intel chip. This issue is present in Google Products on both Firefox 125.0.3 and Chrome 124.0.6367.119. My current Microsoft Word is 16.78.3.

Text Form Field Expression - Calculate Average but Ignore '0' or 'N/A'
Good Day All, I am making a Job Review Word form that is based off a numerical ratings system. I would like to take the average of all the numerical ratings, currently =Average(ADP,Fit,TimeAway,Calendar) is working great. (see pic) What I would like to do is calculate the average of the ratings but ignore any values that say 0 or N/A. In excel I would be using the AVERAGEIF function, but I cannot get that to work here. Does anyone have a solution that I am missing?Word Online (Web version) auto deletes text
When typing on Word online (web version) using a mobile device (Galaxy S22 Ultra, Tab S8 Ultra, iPad Pro (M1), etc) Word will randomly start deleting all of the text typed. For example, you start typing a sentance, and you hit enter, it deletes all of it. If you hit backspace it deletes all of it. Sometimes it deletes portions of it. I have noticed that it seems to happen during the "Auto Save". I'll be typing and i see the autosave message come up and that is when it deletes the text. I have tried this on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Samsung Internet browser. I have tried it on Safari for the iPad Pro, and it has the same effect on all of them. If you are wondering why I want to use the web version of office instead of the application available for Android and iOS, its because selecting text in the app is horrible. You cant highlight text by putting your mouse cursor up to it and then selecting it, then dragging the cursor to select the text you need. It's incredibly frustrating to sit there and try and highlight some text 100 times without it being effective. I use Samsung Dex which is a great tool for getting more out of the phone. I would happily use the native applications for Office if they allowed text to be selected properly. As mentioned i have tried several browsers, across iOS and Android. I have restarted the phone (and tablet) and factory reset the phone (twice) and the tablet (once), and the iPad (twice) thinking it is something with the devices, but clearly that isnt the case. (Even skipped restoring the phone from a backup altogether once just to make sure i didnt contaminate it with previous data) If anyone has any idea on how to address this, please let me know. If anything get Microsoft to fix the web version of Office for mobile devices.
VBA to set logo in the header as Decorative
I have macro code to set Alt Text for small images in a document to Decorative. Sub alttext() Dim shp As InlineShape Dim doc As Document Set doc = ActiveDocument For Each shp In doc.InlineShapes If shp.Width >= InchesToPoints(2) And shp.Height >= InchesToPoints(1) Then shp.AlternativeText = "Figure. Caption." Else shp.Decorative = True End If Next shp End Sub Works great. However, it overlooks the image in the Header for some reason. I need to set Alt Text for my logo in the Header to Decorative. I cannot seem to figure this one out. Please help.
