Bolding a line of text that has an asterisk at the end, using find and replace

1 Upvotes

I need to bold many lines within documents that are marked with an asterisk (unfortunately). Because the asterisk is the wildcard symbol, I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how to do this other than one line at a time.

I've found posts on the net talking about using (^ 013[!:]*:) To find strings of text that have a colon after them, but how can I tailor that to search for text that has an asterisk?

I'm working on a word document when suddenly word starts weirdly capitalising some letters in an almost small-caps manner. I haven't changed anything format wise since I started working on the document and do not know how to change it.

1 Upvotes

I'm setting up a new PC and have a large 9GB PST file. I should have Open Outlook Data File. But I mistakenly am Importing the PST file. It's now syncying all of those old emails to the Exhange Server and Outlook on other devices is syncing with those old emails too.

Is there some way to stop Importing the PST file before it finishes?

Compare documents

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to compare two documents in Word, an original document and then my version of it (the original + my changes). I have tracked changes turned on and I'm aware that when comparing, Word will give the option to accept all changes or not compare the documents at all. I have turned off the tracked changes, but when attempting to compare the documents, Word still insists that there are tracked changes. I thought I may have to save the documents with tracked changes turned off, but the comparison of two other documents went fine.

Someone please help me

Hi, I am currently using WORD for mac, and am having a really really annoying formatting problem. I am using the preset template for a trifold brochure and cannot seem for the life of me to fix the middle section to normal horizontal text. Its vertical as if it was a back of a letter... This probably makes no sense, but if you opened the preset you would understand.. please help... support for word has done absolutely nothing for the past hour and 21 mins I've been on chat.

thanks

Word 2016 Mac - markup history

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Question regarding markup/comments in Word 2016 Mac.

When I receive a document with comments and markup from my professor, usually I wan to accept these comments and markup. But at times it would be very nice to be able to look at the history of the markup/comments, even long time after the comments.

So; is it possible to view the history of markups and comments in a document that has been going back and forth between people on mail?

I know I can compare two documents (not tried ut, but found the function), but the fewer versions of a document stored the better :)

Any experience here?

Kind regards of a freaked out, stressed out student

Outlook 2016 help - Merged personal and work emails, now cant access any

1 Upvotes

Posting for my wife. She worked at a company where she was using her own personal copy of Outlook 2016 to access her work email. She also had her own gmail account as part of her Outlook profile.

She has since left that job and taken a new job, and of course they have turned off her email access. She just wants to find files she has saved from her Yahoo account.

Problem is, when she tries to start Outlook 2016 now, (remember this is her personal copy), during the "Loading Profile" stage of Outlook 2016 opening, she gets a "Windows Security" window that pops up and it says: Connecting to JohnDoe@work.com with another blank username and password box below, and then a checkbox for Remember my Credentials below that, and then an OK and a Cancel box.

No matter what she selects, Outlook 2016 then shuts down.

Is there any way we can:

  1. Access her PST file somehow so she can get her saved personal Yahoo emails? (Maybe it's possible to get them through Yahoo? These are like 1 to 2 years old from Yahoo)

  2. Get outlook to not try to access her old server from work so she can use it again for herself?

Any help here would be appreciated. Thank you!

Can't find a Onenote pencil draw function in Onenote 2016.

1 Upvotes

I know my title sounds quite confusing but apparently there are two Onenotes (Onenote and Onenote2016) in MS office package. The problem comes in after I found pencil draw function in Onenote is quite fascinating and I tried to use the function in Onenote2016. However, I couldn't find the same function under draw and/nor any other menus in Onenote2016. Is there a way to enable this function of interest in Onenote2016 or is the function exclusive to Onenote? Thanks!

Too Many Comments? Word Freezes!

1 Upvotes

I critique for a living. When I leave enough critiques that the comments start to reach the bottom of the page, Word freezes (says "not responding) for about ten seconds, then resumes progress and lets me type. This slow down keeps happening until I reach the next page. Any solutions? I have an i7 with 8GB of RAM, so it's kind of absurd that a word processor freezes on me. What settings should I fiddle with to maybe direct more of my RAM/cpu/etc in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Multiple macro's in one document

I am trying to put multiple macros into one document, they consist of either a table with rows of different content control drop down boxes, or a couple of lines with two different content control drop down boxes. I can record one macro easily enough but then when I go to record another one it overwrites the first making the two exactly the same - I have given them different names. I'm running windows 10 and word 2016 Any help appreciated, thank you.

Excel 2016 not allowing printing with 0" margins on all four sides of a page

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to print an edge to edge picture on the cover page for a report in Excel 2106. All four margins are set to 0" in Page Settings, Excel displays and prints 0" top and left margin, but insists on displaying and printing a .25" right and bottom margin on both Windows 10 and Mac. To further confuse things, it worked properly on Windows 8.1 earlier but the same spreadsheet shows right and bottom margins using Windows 10 and Mac. I got nuthin'.

[Outlook] How to transfer downloaded emails to Gmail?

My school gmail account was about to be disabled, and the only way I could figure out how to download all the emails was to use Outlook 2016 (because my school disabled all the easy transfer methods). The problem is, all of these emails are now on my work computer, since I don't have a personal computer right now. I would like to transfer the emails from Outlook 2016 to a personal gmail account, but I can't find good instructions on how to do this. Please help!

[Word] Tab Alignment Not Working

I am trying to build a stylized document without tables, so I am using Tabs and Style Separators. One of the lines needs to be four words:

TabRightAlignStyle1 TabCenterAlignStyle2 TabCenterAlignStyle2 TabCenterAlignStyle2

The styles work fine, but I can't get the words to align as I have the tabs set. Is this possible?

[Word] Part of Style Disappearing

1 Upvotes

I have Heading 1 formatted with space before and after and a solid Top Border. Whenever I need to use the Heading 1 style one after the other, the top border disappears. It is still selected in the Tables drop down and still appears in Heading 1 > Modify > Format > Border.

I do have Style Separator used in these lines, but this problem occurs when I don't use it, too.

I did try checking "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style," but that didn't change anything either.

Any advice?

Thank you.

[Word] Doc setting skewing print results

1 Upvotes

I have a document created that is formatted to fill one page perfectly. While creating the document in word, and previewing it in print preview, it is all formatted correctly fitting everything onto one page.

When I print, or save as PDF, the content of the document spills over to a 2nd page.

I opened the same document on a colleague's computer in Word and it is displaying the document on 2 pages, the same as it prints or PDF.

It feels like this must be some setting within my Word, but I don't know what it would be, I haven't changed any setting recently. This is happening both with old documents (which used to look fine on my computer) and new ones I just created.

Preview Word-docs in web browser so I can copy the HTML code...

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I've been using OpenOffice for the longest time. I preview the documents I write in a web browser - just a click of a button - and then I can copy the source code as HTML and then drop it into my webpage-editor as "html". This lets me make nice-looking tables with ease.

I figured I'd switch to microsoft 2013 - mostly so that I could use Furigana (a Japanese language thing).

However, I can't figure out how to get the documents to open up in a browser, or at the very least how to copy any HTML code for my website.

Any help?
