631 TopicsWord - 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.213Views2likes6CommentsSearch and replace can't seem to delete \o or \t in URLs
I am trying to delete specific text that has been added to all of the URLs in a Word document. The added text follows a specific format: "random characters" \t "_blank" \o protect" Using search and replace (with wildcards) and show field codes (so I can see the URLs) hasn't been successful. This approach -- searching for "random*protect" and replacing it with [blank] -- does nothing. Trying to delete just the \t and \o entries by surrounding them with parentheses deletes all the t's and o's in the document. Any help getting rid of these additions would be greatly appreciated. pjsSolved47Views0likes2CommentsSearch a specific string in URLs across multiple Word documents
I would like to search for a specific string ("urldefense") in URLs across multiple Word documents that are all in the same folder. (I use Word on a Windows 11 desktop.) If it's possible to do this, I'd be grateful for directions. pjs135Views0likes7CommentsWord 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.42Views0likes1CommentPAGE BREAK 365 WORD DOC doesn't work
Hello The page break on 365 word docs don't work properly. The create an enormous space between one page and the following, making it very difficult to work with for presentation, taking into account that the company only allows these type of docs to work with. In the attach image you can see how large these breaks are with the circles in red. I've tried all options in paragraph options but it doesn't word. I've tried help with the assistance of an AI but it has given up saying there might be some limitations to these type of pages. Anyone know what I can do to avoid these large page breaks in 364 Word docs? Thank you very much in advance Alberto33Views0likes3Comments
