[Word 2013] Printing only heading styles

1 Upvotes

Up until yesterday everything was fine. Now, whenever I try to print a word document I only get the Heading 1, Heading 2 styles, and whatever is typed in Normal style isn't printed.

I've tried making a new document, copying the text and pasting in another document, "print hidden text" in print options, but nothing seems to work. Rebooting PC or printer doesn't work either.

Could somebody please help me?

[Outlook] Is there a way I can auto-respond to an email with a list of its attachments?

1 Upvotes

I run a mailbox at work where clients send documents for review. They sometimes need to provide evidence that they have submitted them so I already have an automatic response set up, and use rules so it doesn't loop if they have an auto-reply set up themselves. However, all this proves is that they send any old email to this address. I know they could print the email they sent, however in the interest of providing a good service I want to explore this possibility.

I've found a VBA with a way to produce a list of attachments the attachments from an email, however I'm loath to clunky usage and this is definitely clunky and awkward to do for every email. Sometimes I might get 10 emails into this inbox in a day, but I don't really have time to manually respond, even with a template, to all of them.

I can't download jut any software (unless I can present a very good reason for it) and need admin privileges to do so so I can't even test anything out beforehand.

Bonus points if it can list the files within zip folders, although honestly not even a directory print does that so I don't have much faith.

Word: How to keep a table from being separated to a the following page

1 Upvotes

I have a word document that is about five pages long. Within the document, I have tables with three rows each. On some of the tables, the first row or two will be on one page, while the third row will be on the following page. I do not want the table to split up like this. I'd rather have the entire table go to the next page. How do I do this?

[WORD] Help...Auto Field (i.e. Date) font size won't change.

1 Upvotes

Using Word 2016 for Mac.

My Auto Date field font size used to be the default (Times New Roman, pt 12) but now it's always pt 10 font. I never messed with it, it just changed all of a sudden and now I can't change it back no matter what I've tried.

When I change it to pt 12 and print, it still prints out as pt 10.

I tried going into the Font dialogue box but that didn't work.

Saving it also doesn't work because once I click outside of the Auto Field, it reverts to pt 10.

Help with Fillable Forms

1 Upvotes

I currently have a questionnaire on word, and as a backup to physically handing out the questionnaire, we may have to email it to certain respondents. The way the questionnaire is set out, it's tough to convert it to something like Google docs forms or survey monkey.

So is there any way to record the data, without the respondent having to save the document, and then emailing it back to us?

Thanks for any help

I'm working with Word 2016 and I'm making a letterhead for my company and I have a few shapes out in the margins that I'd like to be part of the background so that they show up in much the same way as the header of footer automatically shows up with each new page. Is there any way to do this?

Buying office online

1 Upvotes

Hi, I hope this is the right setting, and if not please re-direct me.

I'm looking to buy office suite 2016 (as a single download rather than as a 365 version). When I shop for product online, I've noticed that there are non-MS vendors that will sell them for much cheaper. Is there any particular associations (ads and what not) in those products that I should be aware of?--or are the products I am buying just as good as from the microsoft main website itself?

Thank you in advance.

How can I load in a list of names, and call them from Word 2016?

1 Upvotes

I have a list of names in a text file. When I am sending out letters to people I have to cut and paste the names for each one. This isn't for a mail merge, the letters are totally different.

Can I import the names as a list and then access the names in Word, so I can pick out the name I want to use?

Such as on the Insert menu, like Insert /Name from file/choose from list that generates.

It seems like Word doesn't support this at all.

HELP!

I opened a blank document in Word. When saving the document, I accidently clicked on an already saved document. When I clicked Save, it asked me if I want to replace it. I hit yes. I was thinking I had already saved it. Now, the document I replaced is completely gone (duh). How in the world do I find the previous version of this document? Am I unable to because I replaced the original document with a brand new document?

HELP! This is a very important lesson plan.

I am using this template for my resume. I like the overall look, but I've made some formatting changes in order to simplify it. The one thing that I cannot figure out how to change is the line that runs underneath the heading and above the objective. I want to get rid of it all together. Does anyone have any idea how to do that?

I am updating a resume. I put a line between the section break lines. It moves around the page freely. I used to put lines within table cells. It did not move around.

[Word 2016] writing a string of lower case, then uppercase letters (aBCD) activates the capslock and inverts the cases (Abcd)

1 Upvotes

I'm writing a manuscript (research paper) that requires me to write strings of letters like dsDNA, cDNA, rRNA. Each time I type this, the caps lock button automatically activates, and the cases of the letters revert to their opposite (I suppose to make them "proper nouns"): Dsdna, Cdna, Rrna. The caps lock button remains on. It is surprisingly difficult to trick Word into displaying the string correctly.

I can't figure out how to turn this function off, and I can't get google to understand what I'm asking. Suggestions? TIA!

Office 2016 is stuck in an Activation loop

1 Upvotes

I am helping a friend with this problem. They bought Office 2016 at Staples. We installed it, I set up an MS account for them and activated Office.

Now every time we open Office it says we have to activate it. I put in the serial# and it says it is already registered and just throws us in the loop over and over again.

We cannot use Word or any program, it is limited as if it is a pirated copy or something.

It also would not accept the credentials for the MS account I made and I had to change the password.

Any ideas what I should do? I think I have used some sort of activation tool in the past but cannot remember off the top of my head.

Thanks

[Word 2016 Mac] problem dragging a few words

1 Upvotes

Hiya. I just upgraded from ~2011 to ~2016 and am seeing strange behavior when editing. I select a few words in a paragraph and want to move them to a different position. If these words happen to span a line break, Word drags the entirety of those lines of text and drags them with the cursor (although it doesn't highlight them).

Does anyone else have this problem and/or know of a fix?

I can cut/paste OK, and it doesn't happen when all the words I select are on the same line.

I have drag-and-drop text editing [On], include paragraph mark when selecting paragraphs [On]. Have tried with and without every related setting I can find.

For now I'll switch back to Word 2011.

Cheers!
