Unformatting Header/Tables on WORD after Updated Build 2508
Unformatting Header/Tables on WORD after Updated to Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2508 Build 16.0.19127.20192) 64-bit (Current Channel) with OS Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100 Hi Community, I am writing to you today regarding a critical and widespread issue that is currently paralyzing our operations. Over the past two weeks, all of our Microsoft Word documents, including those created as far back as 2014, are displaying significant unformatting problems across every machine in our company. This issue affects our entire document repository and prevents us from reliably converting documents to PDF for our clients, since then we have been manually formatting the headers, tables, with the help of a feature called Gridlines. We have performed extensive internal troubleshooting and have been unable to resolve the issue. Our tests show that this problem is not present in previous versions of the software. We have isolated the issue to our current operating environment, as it affects all user profiles and machines uniformly.
Index tab leaders don't reflect tab leaders in the Index Style
Contex: 700 page word document with multiple indexes - about 1500 index items in each of three indexes Issue: Indexes appear with dotted tab leaders in front of page number. Index 1 style (and the other levels as well) have a tabs without dotted leaders. Question: How to get rid of the dotted tab leaders if they don't follow the relevant index style when the index is updated. Note that I have tried clearing the index style changing the index style creating a clean document with good styles and copying the index definition from that document creating a clean document template with good styles and adding that (and activating it) to the document And numerous other methods that I have not documented. Any thoughts on how to address this (other than applying the style every time I update)?
Issues using Quick Import to create a multiple choice quiz
Hi, I'm having issues using the Quick Import option in Forms to create a multiple-choice quiz. It doesn't seem to matter how I format my Word document; when I use the quick import option, it dumps all the questions/ answers into one section. This is the Word doc format I am using. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?Markup 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. Dave
Avery Word Template – Text Boxes Not Linked, But Typing in One Moves Content in Others
Hello, I’m helping a client who has been using a Word document with an Avery name tag template for years. Recently, she noticed some unusual behavior: The document is built with multiple text boxes laid out for name tags. The text boxes are not linked (we checked, no “create link/break link” settings). However, when she types in one text box, the content in other text boxes shifts around or moves. It’s not duplicating the text, but it’s disrupting the alignment/layout of all the tags on the page. This happens even with brand new text boxes created in this document on her computer. If we create a brand new document with text boxes on a different computer, it works normally. But once that file is opened on her computer, the same issue occurs again. So far we’ve tried: Resetting Word settings (renaming Normal.dotm and Word registry keys). Testing with a new blank document. Checking for linked text boxes. Saving as a new file/template. The problem seems isolated to this one computer/Word installation, but it affects both old and new documents once they’re opened here. Other computer with the same template doesn't do this. Has anyone seen this before? Any advice on what else we can try, or how to ensure her Avery templates work normally again, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Cheers! - Colin
