Complete Form for various data
I need to create a form to be filled by users; the form should contain areas to add text and other areas to add photos, with a selection and dropdown lists. The form should have restrictions on the word count (a counter of the total words written and the remaining to reach the limit should exist on each tab beside the head of the tab or at the end after the final line), the photo size, and the format. I have tried to make a sample, and this is my best (edit pass is: 123): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Y1xjT8rCTEVFBijYS5wTGWSjewSjUKNAPmNaN3D7Qc/edit?usp=sharing I can't remove the highlighting on the text area and can't control or keep the document font and format when pasting from an external source (the current format is corrupted by pasting), and I can't even add the written words counter. Any advice is appreciated in this regard ...
Group objects
Hi, I am a longtime user of Word. I have just transferred to a new and stronger laptop; however, when trying to group more than 5 items Word stops responding and sometimes crashes. I disabled all add-ons, hoping it would help. Any ideas? I usually insert the figure in a table and just group the callouts and text boxes with arrows.
Captions for images, including sub-captions
Good morning, I’m using Office 365 (Office 2019 at home). I wanted to ask if it’s possible in Word to create captions for images, including sub-captions, with all the corresponding indexes reflecting the hierarchy. I mean something similar to the photo below.Table Properties for table inserted into Word document
Where can I find the default settings for Table in Word? Currently when I insert a table, I might find the row not wide enough. And often, it was because of the row height being set as "exactly" and I have to set it as "at least". Where can I set the default as "at least" so that it does not always use "exactly"?VBA Code/possible
I have a document where I have tables, figures, and cross-reference tables, figures links to text. Currently, I and my team checks manually if all the links working and going to correct destinations. Such as when click on table 1 it takes it to table 1. This is extensive review and many times we miss it. Can I get help to create VBA code/run macro to check if all the links are working? is it even possible? Add-in tool? thanks and looking forward to have some solution.Drop down menu linked to an Excel file
Hi! I would like to populate Word drop down menu to data stored in Excel spreadsheets. I found a post (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5448059/drop-down-menu-linked-to-a-file) in https://learn.microsoft.com showing how to get it done, but I'm new to VBA and need a more detailed explanation. The last line in that post reads, "For a step-by-step guide, you can check out this tutorial on linking Excel drop-down lists to Word.", but no link to that step-by-step guide is provided. Please, do you know where that guide, or any other helpful manual, is available? Thanks!
Huge Gaps between pages in Multiple Page View
Hi all, On Reddit there is https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftWord/comments/14nz09o/huge_gaps_between_page_in_multiple_page_view/ going on where a quiet unnecessary solution is proposed to an even more unnecessary problem: when viewing multiple pages at once there is a huge gap in between. When I zoom in to more than 107% (in my set-up 2k display, 100% zoom) it aligns all pages underneath each other (one page below the other), instead of displaying it as I want it to 2-2. Zoom 107% Zoom 108% All of the above happens to me in a document that someone else has shared with me to review. When I create my own document I do not have this issue: I can zoom to at least 128% (even further) before the pages are rearranged. Does anybody know if I and all other people on Reddit are missing a setting by which we can simply prevent this from happening? Thank you!
S Pen on tablet writing as an image
Hi there, I need some help with my S Pen on my Samsung Tablet. Whenever I try to write something on Word, it will automatically turn my text into a drawing/image. Is there anyway I can write stuff without that drawing box around my text? I've seen some online comments saying to press esc and open "options" on the app menu, but that option is not available on tablets, only on PCs. Thank you so much, Camila
