How do I correct heading numbering?
UPDATE: I couldn't remove this post, after I discovered the issue. Thanks! I need to update heading numbering within an old document. Custom headings were made (as pictured) but I need the heading levels 2 and 3 to include the parent heading number of each. When I attempt to update the level 2 heading for Section 2, it wants to continue with Section 1 (see pictured example). In the number format, I do not know how to tell Word to include the parent numbers? I included "1." thinking it was intelligent enough to know that was just a format designation of the parent heading, but I guess that isn't how. I realize I may be making some glaring mistakes, but just trying to get it right. So this is a learning moment. The caveat here is that I'm not creating the heading from scratch but rather, trying to update the existing document headings. I did follow some online suggestions but none of them addressed including the parent value in this scenario. Section 2 <Heading Level 1 text format> <-- Here I need the word "Section" to proceed the level 1 heading number 2.1 <Heading Level 2> <-- Here I need the level 2 heading to include the parent section level number 2.1.1 <Heading Level 3> <-- Here I need the level 3 heading to include level 1 and 2 numbers.
Mail Merge malfunction
Using Word Mail Merge for Envelopes for UK/EU/World addresses with some Fields having blank entries. Address format is as this: «Title» «First_Name» «Last_Name» «Suffix» «Home_Address_Street» «StreetSecond» «Home_Address_City» «Home_Address_Postal_Code» «Home_Address_County» «Home_Address_CountryRegion» «Next Record» When I Preview all the addresses in the Recipients List they are there BUT when I go to Finish & Merge to a new document for Edit Review suddenly addresses are being skipped -randomly? Can anyone offer any clues or suggestions on how to overcome this please. I had tried to set a Rule to avoid CountryRegion printing the home UK line but it failed to function. Instead I deleted all the UK country lines
Word: Performance and functionality concerns
Hi! Is this happening to you, too? I work on a team that has incorporated co-authoring in a way that it has become an instrumental part of our workflow and processes. We are the only team in our organization to have significant issues with Word: Comments are ghost multiplying (from under 50 to over 4,000) Mark-up is inconsistently available Changes are not always saving for various contributors Formatting, especially custom table styles, are auto-reformatting to something illegiable Important documents are slow to load, if they do Real-time editing is, on occasion, impossible . . . and more. I researched and found some insights. I can't find anything "out there" that would suggest others are experiencing these types of roadblocks. Are you? I am sorry if you are, but I'd be happy to know we're not alone. Do you have any tips or things you've done to improve your experience? Some context: We actively and regularly contribute to documents asynchronously (large and small), apply custom branding styles, comment (and @ team members in comments), share links in team chats, channels, and provide access to others through Outlook links. The majority of the team uses PC, but likely accesses and edits files through chats, channels, emails, Teams, Online, and OneDrive. We also have one Mac, which handles the heavy load for branding and formatting as well. I appreciate any perspectives! Thank you.
Table Borders in Word Disappearing
Over the past week or so, the table borders in our company's Word documents are disappearing. I am seeing a lot of posts in message boards around the internet where people are having the same issue. Is this a known bug with a recent update? Even when we go into the table style and modify the style add the borders, they disappear again once the document is closed and reopened.Turn off all autocorrect, spacing suggestions, etc. - Word for Mac
(Word for Mac) Is there a way to turn off all autocorrect, auto punctuation, double blue lines that suggest spacing, etc.? Basically, for Word to stop trying to help me and just let me drive? To pull the plug on auto correct and let me do what I want to do? I'm working on bass guitar tablature, which is kind of like drawing with letters and numbers, so I'm putting letters, numbers, and punctuation in places that don't correspond to normal grammar rules. Every single time auto correct tries to help me (which is about 6 times per minute), I have to fix what it did (I often have to do this multiple times per instance because auto correct will re-correct what I fixed), which is aggravating and time consuming, and all the double lines telling me to fix spacing are driving me nuts. I want to be in charge. I don't want auto correct to be in charge.Can't remove spaces between rows
Hello, I need to correct a word document and I received it with multiple spaces between rows that I can't seem to correct no matter what I try. Here is an example: As we can see, there is a blank row between the two lines but I cannot move the pointer there, nor I can backspace and make the blank row disappear. This seems to be tied to some pre-formatted settings; could someone pinpoint where should I go in settings in order to somehow be able and gracefully align these two rows? Thank you very much, Desktop Mac OS Word: Version 16.86 Version 15.6 Sequoia This behavior is persistent in Windows. Thanks again,
