Links from Word to pdf doc online not working
I I am suddenly unable to jump from a hyperlink in Word to a PDF on the internet. I insert a hyperlink in Word that points to the online PDF. When I click on the link I get a message stating "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." I have checked my Default App settings, and Adobe acrobat reader is associated with file type "pdf," as well as "URL: adobe acrobat." I also went into "Manage Extensions" in Chrome and made sure to select "Allow access to file URLs" within the Adobe Acrobat extension to Chrome. I can paste the url into a search bar in my browser and that works fine, but not as a hyperlink from within the Word document. This has happened suddenly on my desktop and my laptop. Any idea what the problem is?SolvedJim6373Oct 21, 2025Copper Contributor67Views0likes3CommentsSpellcheck problem

I've tried all standard things already and it always used to work.SolvedAsotteOct 13, 2025Copper Contributor278Views1like18CommentsSection Headers and Footers - 'Same as previous..'
Hi All Just seeing if anyone has a workaround for section headers and footers issue i'm having.... I have a document that multiple sections, each section has a 'Different First Page Header/Footer' as there are different header images for each section. The footer is pretty standard across the document - page numbers and specific document info... My document has..... (for example) Section 1: First Page Header/Footer (page 1) Section 1: (pages, 2, 3, 4, 5) Section 2: First Page Header/Footer (page 6) Section 2: (pages 7, 8, 9,10) and so on.... If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2 First Page' footer (page 6) it takes the footer text from 'Section 1 First Page', rather than Section 1: Page 5 If i try 'Same as Previous' on 'Section 2: Page 7' footer, it takes text from Section 1: Page 2, rather than Section 2: First Page: page 6 Is there any way of just making the footer continuous across the whole document? without changing the header which is different for each section.?? At the moment i'm having to edit each footer for each section which can be tiresome at best. Anyway, hope that makes sence Thanks for your help in advance.

How can I change the default font for footnotes, so that I don't have to change the font every time I add a new one?SolvedandrewlbSep 16, 2025Copper Contributor47Views0likes1CommentSave Recent Font Color
Is there a way to save recent font colors so that they don't need to be selected with each new Word session? I use the deep blue color shown below constantly, and not just as cosmetic thing. That color has good contrast with other text and is easy for my eyes to pick up. I would just like it if I didn't have to go select it all the time. I'm hoping maybe there's a registry setting that will make that color automatically available in the below list, or maybe it can be made part of a template or something. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer! --TomSolvedmtthomasm516Sep 15, 2025Copper Contributor79Views0likes4CommentsMarkup Panel appearing with every word document. Comments column now in some weird thing.
Good day, I am so confused I do not even know how to explain all the issues. 1) Opened a word document today that I closed yesterday. Opens up with some thing called a Markup Panel. Go to review and select no markup. Fine for now, but then appears every time I reopen the document, and all other documents. 2) Up until today, my comments were nicely formatted in a column on the right side of the screen. Now they are in some thing called a "reviewing panel" which is terribly formatted and located in the wrong place until I drag to to the right side. Is this something I have caused or some Word Update (God, I hope it is not the latter.) 3) Also, the little indicators next to the lines where the comments are located are no longer present, so the only way I know there is a comment on that line is by clicking on the comment in the stupid "reviewing panel" How do I get back to what I had yesterday? Thanks so much for your help. DaveSolveddeebeeeffSep 15, 2025Copper Contributor87Views0likes3CommentsVisible Margins
As a heavy user of Publisher I am learning my way through Word in view of the upcoming cancelation of Publisher. One of the first things to strike me is the inability to make margins visible. Anyone found a way? I have tried text boundaries but it does not really help. I know Word is not a graphics package but I do not see much else within Office 365. A pity there is not another MS product to fill the gap! Or is there?SolvedHugh_BSep 12, 2025Copper Contributor115Views0likes4CommentsDifferent columns format within an existing column layout
Hi, As the picture show, I need to start with two columns text layout in a page and in the empty area on the 2nd column, make the remaining into 4 columns for text and small pictures. Is there a way to do that using columns layout? I tried to insert section break but section break will split and shorten my initial columnal text and leave the entire bottom area empty. I only need the right bottom for new columns. Is inserting a table the only way to achieve this? I prefer columns so that long text body will flow into the next column in the page. I really wanted to avoid using linked text boxes because the user of the template tends to mess them up.SolvedJennyT2070Aug 22, 2025Copper Contributor69Views0likes1Comment
