317 TopicsCan't remove spaces between rows
Hello, I need to correct a word document and I received it with multiple spaces between rows that I can't seem to correct no matter what I try. Here is an example: As we can see, there is a blank row between the two lines but I cannot move the pointer there, nor I can backspace and make the blank row disappear. This seems to be tied to some pre-formatted settings; could someone pinpoint where should I go in settings in order to somehow be able and gracefully align these two rows? Thank you very much, Desktop Mac OS Word: Version 16.86 Version 15.6 Sequoia This behavior is persistent in Windows. Thanks again,98Views0likes2CommentsTable of contents bug - num list headings are on multiple lines in the TOC
I'm working on some documents with multiple headings and table of contents. As part of the formatting, most of the headings are numbered using the num list format, like so: However, a strange issue has been occurring where, when I set up the table of contents, some of these headings and subheadings spill over multiple lines in the table. I can't figure out why this might be—every heading has the same formatting as each other, and every subheading has the same formatting as each other, yet only some of the headings and subheadings experience this bug in the table of contents. Most are normal. See below for a simulated example of what I mean: As can be seen, the actual titles are on separate lines from the page numbers, and some of the numbers are on separate lines from their titles. The ideal format should be, say: "1.2 [Title] [leading dots] [page number]", all on the one line. I've had a look at the headings to see if there are any formatting or paragraph inconsistencies, but I can't find any. I'd like to get some help with figuring out what might be causing this issue. I apologise, I know this is a bit vague, but I really don't know how to explain it any other way. I'll appreciate any help you can offer, thank you.60Views0likes3CommentsHow to stop MS Word from saving doc and pdf files to the cloud
I'm on Windows 10 and Office 365. When I hit F12 on an MS Word file and save it as a .docx file or a .pdf file in a OneDrive folder: (1) the file does not immediately appear in the folder. (2) when it does appear, after more than 5 minutes later, it's on the cloud and it has be downloaded. (3) saving has become a lot slower. I'm not sure when I first noticed this but it has been a while. I've gone to File > Options > Save > Unchecked "Show additional places for saving, even if sign-in may be required". How do I prevent that? It slows everything down.95Views1like3Commentspage numbering a document in word
Hello I am trying to automate page numbers in my document. I have removed all section breaks— but one. I cannot figure out the sequence of commands to “link to previous”— when I do it, it does not work. I must be clicking the wrong things because it won’t paginate. It is a long document so I really need the pages numbered. Any help in solving this would be much appreciated.1.1KViews0likes9CommentsHow do I make the cursor visible while typing in word
Hi there, I am using office 365, word version 2310. I just noticed when I begin typing, even one letter, my cursor disappears immediately, and I can only get it back by moving my mouse or press Ctrl. Previously, I think I could see my cursor while typing. Would it be possible to make my crusor visible while typing? I've tried the operations below: 1. turning on/off the 'smart cursoring'. 2. activate/unactivate 'hide pointer while typing' in 'pointer options'. 3. uninstall and reinstall office 365, repair/reset office 365. 4. turning off the HDR settings. 5. changing the display scale in 'display settings'. 6. lauching word in a safe mode. 7. changing the regional settings. None of them works. The funny thing is, when I am typing in Chinese characters, my cursor does not disappear at all, but even if I type one single English letter, the cursor disappears immediately. Additionally, I found the same behaviour when typing in notepad of windows. I know it might be a FEATURE to hide my cursor while typing, but is there any possible solution that I can make my cursor visible while typing? I just want to see my cursor. \ Thanks116KViews0likes13CommentsMarkup 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. DaveSolved89Views0likes3CommentsVisible 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?Solved115Views0likes4Comments
