Add-in Error: We could't connect to the '{0}' catalog server for this add in
For the past month every time I try to use an Add-In in word I get the following error "we couldn't connect to the '{0}' catalog server for this add in." I have tried from multiple computers, Safari, Chrome, different accounts, etc. and nothing is working. It is a personal account and I use word online. It happens for multiple add-ins and I have reached out to the companies directly and they said it was a Microsoft issue.
a table but not really a table
I have this word document that has an addin that linked to financial system in terms of extracting values. so usually we will create an excel report with excel table in the financial system where it will populate the figures in the excel table and then in the word document, we just use the addin to extract the entire table into the document - we called it a table object. It is not an embedded excel table instead it behaves just like inserting a word table in the document. The benefit of this is user just need to refresh or update the extraction parameters to update the figures in this table object. so now, we need have a weird request where it is not possible to do this excel table but we can extract exact amount from the system instead - they called it an amount object. this amount object can also be refresh and updated like table object. BUT we cannot insert an amount object as "nested" in a table drawn in word document. In usual case, amount object is inserted in text content....like CEO words about performance of business in an annual report. I need to be create a "table like" visual in word document so that I can insert several amount objects. The final visual of these will look as if I use a table. Like below: As long as it is inserted as a table, I can insert amount object in the respective "cells". Does anyone have a creative way to do this?Page cplor Blocking Header
Hi, I have a specific page in the document that needs to have a page color. I know the workaround for this is to create a shape filled with the color to cover the entire page but set it to hide behind text. I managed to do that. But the document has a header that look like below: first row of text: ABC Pte Ltd second row: black rectangle shape to look like separator (it is set to wrap as "tight") When the page shape was stretched the entire page, it did not block the page content but it block the header (both text and rectangle). How do I fix this so that the page color shape does not block the header?Page color and do not block header
I know that in order to set a specific page with page color in word, I need to use a workaround where I draw a rectangle filled with color and then stretch to fill the entire page and set it to hide behind text. I did that but this page also has a header where it shows the name of company and then next row is just a long black rectangle. The black rectangle was set to "tight". but now I have a problem because "page color" rectangle does not block content in the page but it block the header (both text and black rectangle). I don't understand why it is blocking both the text and shape in the header. How can I fix this?
Error del complemento. No pudimos conectarnos con el servidor de catalogo "{0}" para este documento
Estoy usando Word Online (Office 365) y al abrir complementos como Mendeley Cite aparece el error: “Error del complemento. No pudimos conectarnos con el servidor de catálogo {0} para este documento.” En general, este error aparece en todos los complementos existentes, como si en mi cuenta los mismos no estuvieran habilitados. Ya probé: Cambiar de navegador (Edge, Firefox, Google). Limpiar datos de navegación. Reiniciar sesión y el computador. Permitir cookies y permitir permisos de los navegadores Hasta ahora no hay forma de que los complementos funcionen en Word Online. ¿Alguien sabe cómo resolverlo? El flujo concreto es: Entro a un documento en word online -> oprimo el botón de complementos -> se abre la lista de complementos -> elijo cualquier complemento y me aparece el error del titulo de esta discusión. Hace una semana si me funcionó en edge, ahora no hay formas.Ruby text functionality/Publisher-like formatting
I use Publisher to create workbooks for students learning Japanese. Word is not a suitable replacement because it has ridiculous formatting issues. PowerPoint has better functionality because you can control placement of text and images and the pages are discrete. But there is no way to use Ruby text (phonetic guide) in PowerPoint. Can it be enabled in Powerpoint? I asked a support person and they told me to copy the sentence from Word to PowerPoint but that doesn't work. Alternatively, is there a way to make Word function like Publisher, so each page is a discrete entity and when I add something, it doesn't muck up the formatting on every other page or push things to another page?MS Word and Excel Mail Merge Certificates (advanced)
I need to run a mail merge (using Word and Excel) for certificates where per Course each student has a unique number of competencies they have achieved, example code attached. I cant manipulate or add data to the excel content with additional columns. I need one certificate per student each with their related competency achievement(s). Has anyone else found a solution without having to use an add in? Ive seen a template where the creator used the "next if" rule and the "if" condition is if the student ID is equal to, but i cant recreate it.Embedded Excel sheet in Word Doc not showing all rows
I have a Word Doc with an embedded Excel sheet. After I add rows to the sheet, the Word Doc cuts off the new rows. I tried stretching it in the Word Doc, but that doesn't work, the Excel sheet just gets stretched. I've changed the print area and cleared the print area in the Excel file. I unhid all the rows as well. I've searched Google and here and I couldn't find an answer. Is the Word Doc or Excel sheet I'm working on corrupted? I've attached some screenshots.
