MS Word Spanish word Bug
Microsoft Office 2013 all the way to 2021 LTSC has a bug in the spanish language grammar and orthographic checker. The grammar and orthographic checker does not detect and mark the following words: doscientes trescientes cuatrocientes quinientes seiscientes Setecientes Ochocientes Novecientes Correct words would be with "a" or "o" as the last vocals: doscientos trescientos cuatrocientos quinientos seiscientos Setecientos Ochocientos Novecientos All of the former are the spanish names for numbers representing hundreds.
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
.dwg to .doc to .pdf
I have a question, and hope I don't confuse people. To start, I have googled it and used ChatGPT to see what that says. We do everything on 8.5x11 sheets. Normally I use the snip-it tool and paste them into an email and send to the project lead and they put it into MS Word and do what they got to do with it then changes everything over to PDF. My boss got on this kick about how clear the drawings look sometimes when zooming in on the drawing. As seen here. ( used snip it ) I have tried multiple ways of doing this. We even tried plotting .dwg to .pdf an inserting the PDF into Word and then exporting the Word.doc to PDF. We are wanting to have the finish .PDF to look like this plotting from AutoCAD to .DOC and then onto PDF as seen below.

Hello. I am having trouble with my word format. All the macro parts are appeared as " { MACROBUTTON AcceptAllChangesShown } " after I opened a new reference style file from Endnote.

Need help!Shortcuts key don't work on Word, and the commands don't exist in keyboard shortcuts "customize"
I cannot use control+c, control+v, control+z, control+y, control+x or control+a on Word on my new computer. when checking Customize shortcut keys in options->customize ribbon, These keys are not assigned to any command, and the relevant commands (undo, redo, copy, paste etc.) do not appear at all, not inder "all commands" and not anywhere else. They do appear in the customize ribbon. I tried resetting the customize keyboard, and it didn't help.
List Formatting No Longer Working
I was originally using a multi level list in my document. I needed to make a page of contents so I changed to a numbered list. Now, it won't let me use the multi level list format on the rest of my document. I contacted support and they weren't able to help me with this.
Simply cannot delete a section break. It is impossible. Cannot be done. Please prove me wrong.
So I was introduced to section breaks as a means of getting page numbering up-to-spec for book I've written (roman. numerals in the front material, arabic numerals in the book itself). I'm using the latest version of Word (16.8?) on Mac. To my horror, I've found that it is impossible to delete section breaks once they're in my document. I have spend an entire day in Google on this subject, and every single suggestion fails. So I have enabled showing markup, so I can see page breaks, section breaks, paragraphs I cannot select a section break. Word will not allow that. So I can't select and delete it. I cannot put the cursor after a section break and then hit the delete button as many suggest. Word will not allow the cursor to be placed after a section break. Putting the cursor before the section break, as other articles recommend, is just wrong. All you're doing there is deleting text before the section break. Why is this so hard? I've lost a whole day on something that should be simple. In the screenshot from my document below, The section break simply cannot be touched.
Adding Pictures to Word Template
I've created a Word Template. I am using Power Automate to populate text in the template. There is a need to add pictures, either throughout or in an appendix. I have found the Word Picture control. Can I use this control, with Power Automate, to dynamically add a picture(s) to the template? Is there a picture gallery control in Word that would allow for multiple pictures?
