Problems 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 Diogo
How to create an editable dropdown list with more than 256 characters in Microsoft Word?
We've tried the following in Microsoft Word however, it did not meet our goal of being able to display more than 256 characters in the dropdown and edit it. We need something that works without issue with Legacy controls and restricted editing. Combo box however, the dropdown list is limited to 256 characters Quick Parts however, when sharing the document with other users, they cannot see the dropdown or quick parts Legacy form dropdown and display the text output using {IF{REF bookmark}}="exact value""text output" however the text output is not editable. If we use a check box, is it possible to hide other options once we check an option?
Word wrapping inside label templates
Hello! I am creating jar labels in Microsoft Word using Avery label templates. I have a terrible time importing clip art and other online images into my labels. In particular, I am unable to use the "Through Text" wrapping feature so that my images can be side-by-side or through the text on my labels. They insist on being in front of or behind my text and will not respond to text wrapping command to be "Through Text" or "In Line with Text" etc. Can anyone help?? I have Microsoft Office 365 which is operating Word 2013.
Dividing 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.How do I auto resize image once pasted to ms word 2021?
Hi, I have around a hundred photo files that I want to paste onto a single Word document. However, the photos are in different sizes and will be printed on paper at various sizes in the future. I would like the pasted images to automatically stretch to fill the entire Word page. This way, when I change the paper size, margins, etc., they will adjust and fill the Word page appropriately. Is there any way to achieve this?
How do I remove some section breaks?
I have been preparing a book manuscript. It has some footnotes, and I turned each of 23 chapters into a section and set the footnote counter to restart with every section. This worked fine. (All this is from Office 2013 by the way, running on a PC desktop.) Now, however, I have consolidated some chapters--and I have too many section breaks. I don't know how to remove the ones I don't want any more. Help! Thanks in advance.SOLVED - 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.A 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.
