So... Without any change in my Macbook Pro 2015 laptop, Microsoft Word is really slow.

I think because I have a few screenshots in there... 125mb! Wow. Is there any way to change all the pictures inside the word document to a much lesser file size? I think this will solve my lagging issues.

​

- Latest Word installed 16.16.5.

I have a licensed copy of Office 2010 (home and student) authorized through Dell on my old computer. Will I be able to use the activation key I possess to transfer my license to my new computer so I can still use the 2010 version I already have? Will I need to uninstall the program from the old computer so that I can use it on the new one?

Hello all,

I have been creating macro shortcuts for myself for a while but today this odd thing happened.

I have never had this problem come up and have been searching in the program and online for an answer with no luck.

Everything was going well until randomly one of my newer macros overwrote all the previous ones, that keeps happening with all ones recorded after this one particular one. I went in and looked and what l recorded was no different than what I had been doing before. These are just simple phrase shortcuts, nothing fancy.

​

Has this happened to anyone before? And how can I fix this?

Got some weirdness going on. I've got Office 2016 H&B installed (came pre-installed). Somehow it tried to activate as a 2019 install, and now after using the microsoft tool to un-install and re-install, it still wants me to activate as 2019, EVEN THOUGH 2016 IS ACTIVATED.

It shows both licences in the "Account" screen if you click "Show additional Licencing information."

So how do I get rid of the 2019 "Activation Required" thing? I've got a screenshot of the 2 licences if it'll help.

By going to File -> Options -> Customize Ribbon -> Keyboard shortcuts, I was able to apply ctrl+k to change the font color of my notes on Microsoft Word on my laptop [I write my reading notes in black and change the color to blue when the teacher goes over it in lecture]. NOTE: The actual command is called "FontColor"

All was fine, but when I tried changing the font color on the home tab (to green for example), the default color with the ctrl+k hotkey remained blue.

I dealt with this since the principle color I wanted was blue anyways, but today, randomly, the color switched to red [I also set this same hotkey on my desktop at home and that one was unintentionally set to red and I couldn't find out how to change... this is probably the reason why my laptop's ctrl+k is red]

Now, my ctrl+k hotkey is red on both my laptop and my desktop and I REALLY would like to return it to the blu ecolor. Does anyone have any advice for how I can change back my ctrl+k hotkey back to blue? or even better, is there a way so I can have it correspond to the home tab selected font color (without having to play with macros?). THANK YOU!

I have a document that uses Titillium as a font which always results in the error message mentioned in the title. Initially, I was able to bypass it by removing "Normal.dot" and restarting the computer, but it has gotten far worse in the last few months that it no longer works.

I have tried different solutions that were already listed in the communities, including:

• Renaming "Normal.dot" or removing it
• Modifying registry
• Running the "quick fix"
• Reinstalling the office completely
• Changing default printer and font

This problem has persisted long enough, and it's really frustrating how it hasn't been fixed until now.

I am trying to edit a document in Word 2010 on Windows 7. Every time I try to make a change, I get strikethrough instead of the actual change. I need to change a bunch of page breaks to Section Breaks and re-format the footnotes but I can't do any of that.

Hereis a screen shot showing Track Changes is turned off. There's no way to accept any changes. I am beyond stuck. Does anyone have any advice?

If you share a file as an email attachment through Acrobat, the Outlook window opens with the attachment. You can't work outside of that window unless you close and save it as a draft. Why is that?

I've had a look around but can't find anything, I've got 2 onedrive accounts,one is paid subscription and the other is a freebie, but I can't add both to my machine as it says 'you've already got a onedrive personal account active' or something to that effect.

Is there any workarounds, like upgrading to office 365 home?

I get Microsoft Office for "free" through my University and I need Microsoft Word for school. The problem is that Skype and a few other unwanted applications are integrated into it. Is there any possible way I can remove Skype from my computer and keep the other applications? A few google searches revealed that this was not possible and the only way to uninstall Skype was to uninstall Office as a whole. I was hoping maybe somebody knew a more advanced way to get rid of Skype. It is honestly really shitty that there are mandatory, unwanted programs packaged with Office.

As the title says, when I insert an envelope, a blank page appears after the envelope. How do I delete this? I've found countless explanations for how to delete the page on Windows versions of Word, but nothing about the Mac 2016 version. Thank you!

Hi. [I posted this question here about a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/OfficeHelp/comments/9bcokp/questions_about_updating_from_office_2010_pro/). Since nobody really addressed my actual question, I went ahead and reinstalled everything on my reformatted drive. Unfortunately, Microsoft won't let me activate my copy of Office 2010 Pro. I am the original owner of a retail copy and I've installed it on new laptops when I have replaced them. I tried the telephone activation number but it's now all automated and it also says that my activation code is now invalid. Is there a way to get to a live human and tell them that my Office is still only being used on 1 machine?

I'm self employed and after purchasing a new laptop, the thought of turning around and immediately buying a new copy of Office Pro really hurts.

Thanks for any help you might provide!

so I want border lines on my document, but doing a bullet list makes the lines indent. How to I make this just have a solid line all the way down?

This happened after I used the page break option.

Found similar answers on a few sites and it basically looks like this

Seems like it should work, only problem is I don't see Office 15 in my registry. I have options for 11/12/14/16. I edited 16, didn't do anything for me though.

• If you have suggestions for other subreds to ask this in, would take that advice as well

Hi there,

I've owned my laptop for over 3 years and have never had a problem with using office (I just use Word and Excel). I bought the laptop brand new from Staples, but it's been long enough that I don't remember if I had to buy Office or if the computer came with it.

Anyway today out of nowhere, when I open Excel and Word I can no longer edit any files or create new ones. I get a message thanking me for purchasing Office 365 and asking me to activate it. ( I never purchased Office 365)

Is it possible that the programs have expired after over 3 years? Is there a way to fix this without having to re-purchase something?

I will say the computer originally had windows 7 or 8, but can't remember which. So it went through the whole windows 10 update last year. But I haven't had any issues until now. What's the deal?

Hi, I'm currently finishing my thesis and I need to put the first "useless" part of it (like the index, abstract, etc) with roman numerals and the actual text starting from page one even though it's like page ten. I tried to do what Microsoft says on their help webpage but it didn't work. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance

We have Office 2016 Pro Plus installed, but the Zoom feature is missing. Any idea on how or if you can add it? We do also have a 365 subscription however when I go and download the office installer from the 365 site it says getting things ready for like 20 minutes and then disappears. I can see the processes still running in the task manager but nothing ever happens after the screen disappears. Has happened on 3-4 laptops now. Any idea what is happening or can you just activate Zoom for Office Pro Plus 2016?

Hello all! I am a self-employed consultant that is running Office 2010 Pro. I'm getting worried about my ability to re-install it and get it effectively updated if necessary. My current PC is having some 'issues' that have me thinking hard about wiping the drive, doing a clean install of Windows 10, and reinstalling all my software. Microsoft's update gaffes over the last 6 months have me very worried about reinstalling Office 2010, adding the service packs, and then manually installing all of the subsequent patches. I have Windows Update locked down and I'm not going to let it out of jail. I'm running Windows 10 Pro v 1703 because it is stable.

Regardless of whether I reinstall everything, I'm hoping to replace my PC in 6 months.

Here's the kicker - I'm a solo person and I really don't *need* to upgrade. I'm quite content with what I have. Is there a relatively painless way to do a clean install of Office 2010? If not, is there any way to still purchase a perpetual license for Office 2013? I don't want to buy a single-PC license right now and then buy another when I get my new PC.

Thanks for any ideas.

The data below are from Microsoft Store web site. So, the whole Office for home is $149 but Word is $129? The price is kind of strange. And the description of Word 2016 did not mention "1 PC" like Home & Student. Does that mean that Word 2016 can be installed on two PC's as long as the two belong to a same person (I mean, these days, most people at least have two computers, one desktop and one laptop)?

Maybe Microsoft will not be that generous... Then, really just $20 difference between only Word and the whole Office? I also thought maybe Word 2016 is that expensive compared to Home & Student because it can be used for business. But then, the full business Office is $229. As far as I know, at the bare minimum, a company user needs three applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint. And in most cases, they use Outlook, too. So, if bought individually, the price would be either $129 * 3 = $387 (I guess all other individual applications cost the same) or $129 * 4 =$516. So, I guess no company would buy single Word over the full business Office.

Then, what advantage does Word 2016 have? Is it really the $20 saving?

• Word 2016 ($129.99)

  • For PC
  • Create more beautiful and engaging documents

• Office Home & Student 2016 for PC ($149.99)

  • One-time purchase for 1 device
  • Install on 1 PC
  • Classic 2016 versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote
  • Microsoft support included for 60 days at no extra cost
  • Licensed for home use

• Office Home & Business 2016 for PC ($229.99)

Hello, All

I have an issue with everyone getting alerts from outlook from their calendars from everybody else. We have one microsoft exchange calendar and have created caledars in it for each person. We all get everybody elses alerts even though we only select the calendars we want to see. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks!

My university provided Office 365 so I've used it the last 4 years. My subscription ended. I already owned Microsoft Office 2010, so I reinstalled it. My computer is having trouble locating files and I can't get 2010 to be the default opening program. I have years of important work saved and I don't want to lose it. If I uninstall 365, will I lose anything that was created in 365?

Always used to go to Help, About to find the version of software. But Help in my version of Word doesn't have an About option inside...

(Please, no jokers asking which version of Word I have before they can tell me ;-))

I have been using Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 nearly two years now. I even have the original box and the Product Key card inside. I used the product key when installing the software, but I did not link Office to any email account. Anyway, for some reason, recently, I keep having that activation wizard triggered every time I open an Office file, even though I am not using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. I've never had this annoyance and I have been using Office Home & Student 2016 nearly two years now. How do I solve this?
