MS Word is throwing up 'Error 4608' I haven't a clue what to do.
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me here, because I am at a TOTAL los... I have a Word document that I have been updating for a few years, which is a sort of log. It has worked well up until today. Now, whenever I try to save the updated document, a very old fashioned (looks like Windows 3.1!), error message window appears which is headed 'Visual Basic for Applications' and in the window it says: Run-time error: '4608': Undefined dialogue record field There are then four buttons at the bottom labelled Help, Continue (which is greyed out), End and Debug. I have no idea what this error message means. Clicking on End gets rid of the error message, but prevents me from saving my updated document, and the next time I try to save it the error message just reappears. Clicking on Help takes me to a website with the title 'No F1 help match was found', followed by a load of technical computer-geek stuff I don't understand. Clicking on Debug seems to open a new window, but I do not know what it is... Here is a screen-shot of it: The highlighted text seems to refer to Bookmarks, which is throws me because I only associate Bookmarks with my web browser, not MS Word. I'm sure I haven't added any bookmarks to my document in any case. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is going on here please? Thanks
Word - Same Line Page Breaks Visibly Change Formatting
Within the last week or so, Word suddenly has started changing the formatting of visible text when a page break is used on the same line. How can this be corrected? (To be clear, yes, a page break could moved to the next line or deleted if there is not room for the extra line, but this impacts dozens of templates I have been using for years and I just want to set the formatting back to how it has worked in the past, where a page break inserted at the end of a line with centered text did not change the formatting of the visible text in said line.) Example 1 below is how it always used to appear whether the page break was on the same line as the centered title text or not. Example 2 below is how it looks now when the page break is on the same line.
Word for Mac: markup turned on by default
I've recently had problems when saving Word docs as PDFs on my Mac (using the Word process, not the built-in Mac process): the PDFs have included the comments markup in a column on the right. After a big of digging around it seems that Word now turns on the mark-up by default in some recent Mac builds. Even after I amended the Normal.dotm template so that markup was turned off, new documents still have the markup enabled. Has anybody else come across this? It means that whenever we export to PDF, 3 extra mouseclicks are required if we want to ensure that the comments pane isn't included. And even after we've done this, if we re-open the same document, mark-up has been turned back on. There doesn't seem to be any way of changing this behaviour.Word document is displayed different on different systems
Hi, I've a word document that, when I open it on my local Mac with Office365, has 17 pages. When I export it to a pdf (electronic version) it suddenly become 16 pages as the document is more compressed, which is a strange behaviour. So I tested it on two other platforms, one Windows PC and another Macbook Air, and there the document has also 16 pages and looks like the exported pdf. The same applies for a colleague who also has 16 pages when open it. So the problem seems to be related with my local configuration. In addition to this strange behaviour, my word version don't open the printing dialog and also exporting a pdf as printable version leads to an error. Excel, for example, opens the printer dialog. Anything I can do to fix this issue? It's really annoying and a NO GO that the same document looks different. I'm using a Macbook Pro M1 with Tahoe 26.2 and Word Version 16.105.3 (26020123)
Word- insert picture from device not working
I have inserted pictures without problem for years. Now ‘insert picture from this device’ produces nothing. There are no error messages. I can copy and paste the same picture into the document no problem. Also it will insert pictures from the internet. I have followed many suggestions without result. I have repaired the prog and also reinstalled it.How do I turn off copilot if it's not in the options?
This provided screenshot is what I get with Word Options. There are no copilot settings in Word Options in my copy of Office, I cannot find any way of turning it off, and yet copilot has gotten so much worse by giving me three suggestions (at the top of the window, suggesting what kind of content I should make) every time I open a new document. Copilot just keeps getting more intrusive, and I want to shut it off. The more it's shoved in my face, the less I want to use it. I don't know why you're making it so intrusive, I've never heard of anyone actually LIKING this stuff. Why would someone want suggestions as to what kind of document to make? It's far worse than Clippy could even dream of. I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office yet, but I don't want to have to go through and change a bunch of options again (that I always forget, there are so many options that I have to change to make it usable, like turning off the awful Backstage when saving) unless it's truly necessary to fix this problem. If it gets updated regularly (like the update that gives three Copilot suggestions every time I open a new document), I don't see why reinstalling it would fix the problem. But maybe reinstalling is the answer--if it IS the answer, I just want confirmation that it has actually worked for other people, and not just a generic answer that hasn't been confirmed.Frame Text Direction Bug
Not sure when it started happening, but a former client recently contacted me regarding an anomaly with text direction in frames. They have a pleading document where the firm information (name and address) is included in frame located in the left margin of the document. The Text direction is set to run from bottom to top and consists of three lines of text. When the document is opened with Word: Microsoft® Word 2019 MSO (Version 2508 Build 16.0.19127.20302) 32-bit All three lines of text are scrunched up on the bottom line.
