23 TopicsA Page Randomly Become Invisible
Hi, so I was doing my thesis and noticed my 2nd page somehow "gone". When I checked, it seems there is a section break on said page, but I can't do anything to it- I cant delete it, I can't even click or place my cursor there. When I try to view it in Draft mode, the pieces I've written are there, but it's completely invisible in print layout view. Here's the Draft View And here's the Print Layout View. It's completely blank and I totally can't click anything on that particular page. Please help, it's so frustrating.12KViews0likes4CommentsNeed to disable 'do not check spelling or grammar' in Microsoft Word
When opening a Word document from an attachment, the 'do not check spelling or grammar' option is automatically enabled, and keeps re-enabling itself after being unchecked. This is not the case if opening a Word document locally on the machine. Is there a way to permanently disable the 'do not check...' option across the board? I have tried editing the registry, running quick and full repair on Office, verifying correct proofing tools are selected, highlighting all text in the document and unchecking the option5.8KViews0likes2CommentsSOLVED - Expand/Collapse specified heading(s) based on criteria (VBA code)
Hello all, I spent an entire evening trying to figure out the VBA code to collapse all headings in my document upon opening except for my "Notes" header (and only if I had a form control checkbox checked saying to do so). The only thing I found on the internet was the Range.Expand and Range.Collapse functions which did not work at all, no matter how much I played with it. I did manage to get the result I wanted using the SendKeys function with a collab of .Activate but it was really wonky. However, when I was playing around with it and searching through the arguments, I found .CollapsedState which could only follow after .Paragraphs(). I tested it and it worked! Polished Code: Private Sub Document_Open() On Error GoTo ErrHandler ThisDocument.ActiveWindow.View.CollapseAllHeadings Dim check_box As ContentControl Set check_box = ThisDocument.Range.ContentControls(Index:=1) If check_box.Checked = True Then Call ExpandNotes ErrHandler: End Sub Sub ExpandNotes() On Error GoTo ErrHandler1 Dim IsFound As Boolean 'ThisDocument.ActiveWindow.NewWindow.Activate 'OUTDATED METHOD 'ActiveWindow.Close 'OUTDATED METHOD IsFound = FindParagraph(ThisDocument.StoryRanges(wdMainTextStory), "Heading 1") ErrHandler1: End Sub Public Function FindParagraph(ByVal SearchRange As Word.Range, ByVal ParaStyle As String) As Long On Error GoTo ErrHandler2 Dim ParaIndex As Long For ParaIndex = 1 To SearchRange.Paragraphs.Count If ThisDocument.Paragraphs(ParaIndex).Range.Style = ParaStyle Then FindParagraph = ParaIndex If ThisDocument.Paragraphs(ParaIndex).Range.Text Like "*Notes*" Then ThisDocument.Activate ThisDocument.Paragraphs(ParaIndex).CollapsedState = False 'ThisDocument.Paragraphs(ParaIndex).Range.Select 'OUTDATED METHOD 'SendKeys "{RIGHT}", True 'OUTDATED METHOD 'SendKeys "~", True 'OUTDATED METHOD Exit Function End If End If Next ErrHandler2: 'Function built off of the original code (by freeflow): _ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61209283/vba-word-find-a-paragraph-that-has-a-specific-style End Function It would be cool to use a date function for criteria at some point too, to expand headers that are within today's date. Notes: • The commented-out code followed by 'OUTDATED METHOD was the first working but wonky attempt. Lines can be removed. • The "check_box" variable is for the only checkbox I have in the document, which is a form control (not an ActiveX control). • You can change the "Heading 1" (ByVal as String for the FindParagraph function) under the "ExpandNotes" sub to the style name that is applicable to your headers. • You can change the "*Notes*" to whatever text your header is. You can also expand/collapse multiple headers if you include an Or statement(s) in that If. • The code is under the "ThisDocument" (Microsoft Word Objects) module for my workbook (not for "Normal"). • Edit/add/remove from the code to your needs.Solved3.9KViews0likes1CommentWord professional 2013 How to set default proofing language
I am using Microsoft Office 2013, particularly Microsoft Word. I am having trouble setting the proofing language i.e. Spell Checking to UK English only. I have tried deleting the English US language but then My keyboard is wrong since I have a US keyboard. Now I have, under Review / Language / Language Preferences = English (United Kingdom) <Default> but under Review / Language / Proofing Languages - both English US and English UK are ticked and I can't change or remove so it now accepts both spellings i.e. center and centre - color and colour. How can I set my Word so US keyboard works, I only have English UK for proofing / Spell check and I dont't have to change it for every document, I have been frustrated by this for weeks now, please assist, thank you2.5KViews0likes7CommentsFeature Request: Colorful Binder Tabs like Bookmarks.
You see, many of you Microsoft coders are foreigners, so allow me to first explain to you the concept of binder tabs. In America, we have things called binders, people use them in school and offices to keep documents organized. Within the binders are something called tabs, or dividers. These 'binder tabs' are colorful and are used for labeling purposes. It looks like these: They are used in the sense of bookmarks if you will, for the purpose of organization. As of now, here's what Word's bookmarks look like: The current bookmark toolbox is to the right of the document, It's small, it's bland, it's non-colorful. It looks boring. What I want done is what's to the left of the document, the arrow things, I want colorful tabs/bookmarks similar to binders. These should be floating so regardless of what page I am on, I can always click the arrow to go to the specified designated location with ease. So bookmarks/tabs that follow me up and down the word doc. This will make it similar to binders and their tab dividers. It looks better than the current bookmarks toolbox mechanism and much easier to use.2.2KViews0likes2CommentsCannot open SharePoint document in Word for Mac (stuck on ADFS authentication)
When we select 'Edit in Word' from Word Web App, Word tries to authenticate the user by launching a small browser window and navigating to the ADFS 3.0 login page. This works OK on Windows (apart from an annoying JS exception) but fails miserably on Mac. Word of Mac cannot seem to reach the ADFS login page. Instead, it navigates to the extranet (where the user is already authenticated). Word for Mac can go no further. I have to Force Quit the application. What's interesting is that when we bypass our Fortinet Application Firewall, authentication in Word for Mac starts working! Unfortunately, my network administrator is not keen to bypass the application firewall, so we're stuck trying to tweak browser settings hoping to find a solution. We had a little success disabling the popup blocker, but that seemed to only help for a day, then the old behavior returned. Can anyone help with this?

Problem: In Word 2013, I want to add a final line to a Contents list for something that is not in the Word document, but will be added manually after printing. [The Contents list is NOT generated by using any Word methods, and it is not in a Table] The previous-to-last entry is APPENDIX 14: xxxxxxxxx ................................. { PageRef APPENDIX_14 } The page number for the above works. The last line of the Contents is ADDITIONAL MATERIAL ........................................ { ={ PageRef APPENDIX_14} + x } If page number for Appendix_14 is an odd number, then x should be 2, otherwise x should be 1. I tried using the MOD function to determine even or odd: { IF { MOD ( PageRef APPENDIX_14, 2) = 0 { ={ PageRef APPENDIX_14 } + 1 } { ={ PageRef APPENDIX_14 } + 2 } } } but nothing is displayed and no syntax error. is shown. What am I missing? Thank you. Chris1.7KViews0likes4CommentsDividing single word page onto some section?
Hello. I apologize for any confusion. I'm unsure if I'm using the correct wording, and I'm unable to find guidance on how to phrase it properly through a Google search. First, here's the document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jm7HydmqPhTSmdRzF2MD9kD1MVv8TXO4/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108277566935502146918&rtpof=true&sd=true In the first part of the documents, you will notice a resize-square that is quite useful. It allows me to conveniently move the tabulations (:) forward and backward as a whole, instead of manually using the tab and backspace keys one by one to adjust the positions. Please refer to the screenshot and screen recording below: And this is the screen record how do I demonstrate it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z-rcmLiinMYBhgjpDTz2DGjqeQ68Vsn-/view?usp=sharing Then, there's 2nd section, where it just a usual text, without any formatting in indent Similarly, in the third section, there is a similar functionality as in the first section. Instead of manually using tabs or spaces, I can simply resize to reposition the text. Additionally, I can adjust the spacing between the first line (Penerima & Pemberi) and the (.....) without having to manually press the enter button. All of this can be done using the resize button. Here's the screen record if you need it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bOs58S5dc2i7_wk49OQPuGj5d2y5Q13q/view?usp=sharing Furthermore, all of these actions can be performed within a single page, eliminating the need for the page break function and resulting in three separate pages. Currently, the closest solution I have found is converting my text into an image. However, this method is not as effective as I had hoped.1.4KViews0likes12CommentsKeep high resolution when insert PDF or JPEG files in word
Hi, guys, how are you all doing? I hope really well! I'm trouble. I'm tryig to attach a pdf file on word and I'm loosing resolution. It's a Finale (music software) converted to podf or jpeg that I'm trying to attach. Someone knows how can I keep the high resolution when I insert pdf or jpeg in word? My word is 2013 and I'm on winodws 10. I have attached some files to help you figure out what I mean. My main goal is when someone zoom in word document, the image/pdf still readable. I have attached two files. They are two different musics, but the idea behind is the same. The pdf file is how the quality stands when I import from Finale. The word file is how it looks like on word. You can zoom in in word and in the pdf to see how different they are! The goal is to be the same quality. I have tried insert object, copy and paste and many other ways to achieve this and nothing :(. This is an official document, so I don't have the option sto change the format. Help someone could help me. Thanks in advance for your time and atention!1.4KViews0likes0CommentsProblems with navigation pane on word 2021 - constantly slowness and freezing
Hello, everyone. My name is Diogo. This is my first post. I just bought Office 2021 home version today. I've been using 2013 Office version for a long time and decided to upgrade. The main reason was my daily use of a word doc for studying purposes. The doc is long (at least from my perspective), with sth abou 3100 pages and 1.4 million words. With 2013' version, I had basically two issues when using this file specifically 1. Sometimes when I was saving the file and, before the end, it was shutted down without properly save (I guess this one is done with 2021's autosave option). 2. The navigation pane (titles and search specifically words) was incredibly slow sometimes. In fact, it was almost impossible to open the titles and digit the text at the same time, so I had to keep it on the search columm to keep working the text. The search columm, besides that, used to freeze after a search for 10 seconds, max 15 seconds, maybe, but after I could keep the work progress and typing Well, I bought the 2021 one thinking that would be faster and I would solve this problem, but it is not my experience so far. The overall use is better with this newer version, but it's (much) worse to search words with navigation pane, which is very useful in my daily use of the doc. When the titles panel is open, everytime I digit it freezes a little bit, making harder to use. When I search for a word, it definitely freezes, taking sth about 25, 30 seconds to come back, when it will keep freezing for a while. In simples words: when it comes to use the navigation pane (titles and search, I never use pages miniatures), Word 2021 is, so far, much worse than 2013 Office. The office keeps freezing sometimes, even not using the navigation pane (sth I was not expecting buying this Office 2021, to be honest), but the situation is worse with navigation pane, like I said. P.s. I've been editing this file for 18 months now. At some point and for some reason I can't tell, the automatic numbering option (sorry, I use in portuguese and I don't know the name Microsoft uses in english Word version, but it's on the paragraph tab and allows to divide paragraphs in numbers and letters. I guess it's numbered list or sth similar) stopped working, so I started mumbering everything manually. I don't know if this could be interfering. P.s. 2 Before come here I contacted Microsoft via chatting. He tryed to help me, controlling the PC remotelly and doind some tricks, but at the end he sad it was probably some formatting problem with this precise doc file, so he directed me to his forum Sorry about the long text and thank you for the help Diogo1.3KViews0likes1Comment
