Microsoft Word opens custom WebDav server in Read Only mode
I'm trying to implement a custom WebDav server in Django and when I try to open a document in Microsoft Word using Microsoft's Office URI, it always opens in read-only mode. In my OPTIONS endpoint I'm returning the needed headers of DAV: 1,2 MS-Author-Via: DAV And when I look at which HTTP requests are being sent, I only see OPTIONS, GET, and HEAD. I never see an attempt at LOCK I'm testing this on a Mac. What am I missing to get Microsoft Word to open my document in read/write?Web-Addins stopped working for Office apps version 16.100 for Mac
Dear experts, Since version 16.100, the web add-in functionality has stopped working with the Office apps for Mac (PowerPoint, Word and Excel). In may case, Templafy web add-in is not being loaded. According to Templafy's support page: https://support.templafy.com/hc/en-us/articles/29028257609501-Templafy-Web-Add-ins-no-longer-accessible-on-Mac-after-Microsoft-Office-update-16-99 this seems to be a bigger issue. Clearing web add-in cache or deleting the WEF folder will not resolve the issue. I have also tried with a full clean uninstallation of Office365 apps and re-installation, same issue. Note that New Outlook for Mac is not affected, just PowerPoint, Excel and Word.
How do I export macros to new install of Word?
I'm using Office 2013. I have created several macros for Word using the VBA project. I want to export and use them on a new install of Word. I go: FILE > EXPORT FILE. But, it will only let me save as a Class File (.cls). When I've tried to import into the new stall, nothing happens. It says that I need to use the .bas format. Well, . . . VBA doesn't allow that option. Does anyone jknow what I'm missing here? Any solutions? Thanks!
MS Office Word numbered list formatting style bug
There are numerous bugs related to the subject above. It has been so for several years, from Word 2010 or even earlier. It has been carried forward to the current Office 365. Paid office users need better support than this. This is the bug: The List number style. Applies number sequence from the paragraph above. I want it strart from 1. This context window will not do what it says. I have to manually set it to 1. If I reapply the style it again reverts to where it began. Request MS Office development team to take note of this and do a patch update. I know you would want to tell me to say it at the user voice. There is a bigger multi level numbered paragraph bug that I have requested numerous times on the user voice with no result.
Is there an acceptable method to convert pub to docx?
Unfortunately Microsoft has decided to end Publisher. So users are forced to find methods both for archiving old files and converting current files to be able to continue working. For the first PDF will most likely be the easiest. For the second I've been trying to find a converter. This proves to be a challenge. And the results have been very unsatisfactory so far. My main publication is a brochure which is printed double-sided on A4 paper, stapled and then folded to A5 size. The publication contains 99% text boxes (with formatted text) and pictures. Here and there a shape like a horizontal line. All things that Word definitely supports. So converting it should be a no-brainer - at least I thought so. Of course Publisher can save as DOCX. Unfortunately the function only supports plain text. So the text boxes are removed, which means a lot of manual rework. Also the text isn't converted continuously. For exapmle the text that was on the first sheet in my Publisher file, ended up on page 5 in Word. Bottom line: not acceptable. Microsoft therefore don't even refer to that save function in their official communication to Publisher retirement. They suggest a workaround instead: save the file as a PDF and open it with Word. The suggestion is embarrassing enough, since it implies that Microsoft are unable to provide suitable conversion between their own formats. I tested it anyway. But the layout ends up in Word in a way that requires a lot of manual rework. Tab stops are partially removed, page margins are shifted. The pagination is also incorrect, so that some pages are half empty. Bottom line: not acceptable. Also tried some online converters. Unfortunately the results haven't been satisfying either. Most of them convert text boxes into shapes with integrated text boxes. And even worse: big text boxes are often split into several smaller boxes. In any case there still remains a lot of manual rework. Bottom line: halfway acceptable. Disappoiting Conclusion: At present, I consider it the best option to rebuild the file from scratch in Word using Copy-Paste. If someone knows a better method, would be happy to hear about it.Multiple word documents are open simultaneously causing performance issues.
Does anyone know what the optimal size of Word documents should be if you have multiple word documents open simultaneously? I frequently access two Word documents at are about 800KB each. When I have both open, I notice a significant performance degradation when I do searches, add/modify/delete contact, toggle between the documents. This really impacts my productivity. I am wondering I should reduce the size of these files or move them to a different drive or memory stick to improve performance. I don't want to break these documents up yet given that instead of having two Word documents open, I might have four Word documents open simultaneously and still have the performance issues. I have performed online repairs of Microsoft 365 and checked my addins but nothing seems to help.
