100 TopicsCursor keeps on switching from normal to loading
I just updated my Windows OS (it's now 19045.6093) and I'm using Microsoft 365. For one reason or another, my curser keep on alternating from the regular pointer to the spinning wheel every half second. And it only does when inside a word document. Any fix to this?Solved2.4KViews3likes11CommentsWord - 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.Solved694Views2likes10CommentsHow 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.338Views2likes3CommentsMicrosoft Word "Save as PDF" - fonts not rendering
Hi all, I have a Word document which uses the Readex Pro family of fonts: https://github.com/ThomasJockin/readexpro I have all fonts installed locally and when I view it in Word, it appears as rendered: the main font used is Readex Pro Deca Light, while headings used Readex Pro Deca SemiBold. However, when I use "Save a Copy > PDF" in Word, everything is rendered as Readex Pro Deca Light. (That happens with the "Bitmap text..." in the options either on or off. If I use Print > Print to PDF, the headings are rendered in the right font. But of course I don't get features that way such as a left-hand navigation pane of headings in the resulting PDF. Does anyone know why Microsoft Word's "Save a Copy > PDF" seems not to use font families correctly? Is there a workaround here?3.8KViews2likes4CommentsHow to separate non-indented number points from indented number points?
I'll explain. I have a document that's about fifty pages in length, with about 500 numbered points in total. The list randomly is dispersed going down, with some numbered points having no indentation while some have it (text down and to the right, down to the right and so on). It looks like this: Example 1 (Actual Layout): This Is An Example How The Document Is Listed Trying to sift through it all and sort the list manually is proving to be too time consuming. Trying to sort the lists alphabetically left all the indented text out of order with no way to figure out what numbered point it belonged to what. It looked something like this: Example 2 (Alphabetized Layout): An Document Example How Is Is Listed Of The This Is there any way to have it so word can separate Example 1's points, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and points 2 and 3 away from each other, creating two separate lists with all the indented numbered points all corresponding to the correct main indented point? Like this: Example Three (Desired Layout): This Is The Document Is Listed Is An Example How Thanks. Sorry for the length.169Views1like4CommentsTurn off all autocorrect, spacing suggestions, etc. - Word for Mac
(Word for Mac) Is there a way to turn off all autocorrect, auto punctuation, double blue lines that suggest spacing, etc.? Basically, for Word to stop trying to help me and just let me drive? To pull the plug on auto correct and let me do what I want to do? I'm working on bass guitar tablature, which is kind of like drawing with letters and numbers, so I'm putting letters, numbers, and punctuation in places that don't correspond to normal grammar rules. Every single time auto correct tries to help me (which is about 6 times per minute), I have to fix what it did (I often have to do this multiple times per instance because auto correct will re-correct what I fixed), which is aggravating and time consuming, and all the double lines telling me to fix spacing are driving me nuts. I want to be in charge. I don't want auto correct to be in charge.213Views1like1CommentSpellcheck problem
