Mail Merge to Microsoft Word
I have a user who is trying to use mail merge to merge financial data in Excel into a Microsoft Word document. The data is formatted for currency in Excel but when she merges it into Word, it comes out as plain numbers with many decimal places after it. How do I get this data to hold it's currency formatting when merging into Word? Thank you very much! I gather you're using XP. This is a new "feature" in mail merge in XP. To resolve it, in the mergefield in Word, add a numeric field switch. You'll need to toggle the field code for the field to change this. Depen...

Microsoft Word Starts Only in Safe Mode after Adobe Acrobat Instal
Microsoft Word will only start in Safe Mode ever since Adobe Acrobat was installed. It seems related to Adobe's automatic installation of toolbar objects in both Outlook and Word. Word reports that there were problems starting Word and tries to recover documents. It then wants to send an error message to Microsoft and then refuses to open unless the Safe mode is chosen. Anybody have this problem before? Any ideas on what the resolution is? I have suggestions on how to remove the annoying Adobe toolbar objects, but no suggestions on how to get Word to open in regular...

Word 2007
My company has just switched over to Office 2007. One issue that came to light this morning is that if a document has Page Break Before codes to force new pages, the document appears fine if you've got Show/Hide turned on. If Show/Hide is turned off, then the Page Break Before codes seem to disappear and the pages appear overlapped. Specifically, my document has pages 2, 3 and 4 set with Page Break Before codes and all four pages show (overlapped) on page 1 when I turn off Show/Hide. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on to make the document appear correct reg...

MS Word Drop-Down list linked to outside source?
I was wondering if it is possible to link a word drop down list to an outside source such as an Excel list or and Access table. My Scenario: I have created 70+ locked templates that use some similiar drop down lists. These lists include Judges, Lawyers, and Arbitrators names that can change monthly. So i was looking for a better solution than me editing every drop down list on each template. I would like to be able to link a drop down list to say an MS Access table and so i can just edit the table and each drop down would just pull the info from that. Is this possible...

how do I copy several lines of word text into one excel cell?
In a word doc I need to copy several lines of text and paste them into one excel cell.

Why can't I search for Excel files knowing a word somewhere inside it?
Knowing that I had a spreadsheet with a sort macro in it somewhere that I created about a year ago, I used the search feature of File Explorer in WinXPPro to search for all files named *.xls, containing the word "sort" in a folder with subfolders I knew it should exist in, in a range of dates. The search did not find it, but after looking through my old emails I found the name of the file, found it in one of my folders, and it was named *.xls, it did contain the word "sort" as both a worksheet name and in the macro, and it was in one of the folders I searched in, and...

Question about Word/Works
Is the Word in Microsoft Works Windows 7 the same as Word 2002, though slightly updated? Why does the interface look so different? It almost resembles more of a cartoon of Word 2002. There's a flatness to its appearance, and I don't like the flap off to the right. I want everything in a streamlined window as in Word 2002. Wrong Group! This group is about Word for the Macintosh... However, I suspect what you are seeing is "Word 2007". Microsoft Works usually contains the current version of Word, in this case, 2007. In which case: Welcome to the new worl...

Windows disappear/vanish/become invisible when working in Word or Excel (MSO2004)
When working in Word the active window frequently becomes invisible. I can still type and use keyboard commands. If I do any of the following the window reappears: - cmd+tab off Word, then back on - save the document - select Window > document name from the menu bar When working in Excel I have the same problem with the same solutions. In both cases, this happens so frequently that both products are essentially unusable. Any ideas?

MM from Word in HTML Format
I am using MS Office 2002. When I do a mail-merge from MS Word to email, it works fine as long as I use 'Plain Text' as the format. It accesses Outlook and sends the messages. However, if I use HTML format, it acts as though it is sending something, but the messages never get sent. Does anyone know what my problem might be? Brian, I seem to have the same problem in Offic 2003. When I do an email merge from Word, the screen flickers at the end but there is no record of the emails having been sent in Outlook, i.e., they are not in the Sent folder.

Renaming an Exchange 2003 Server
I have a Windows Server 2003 machine in a Windows Server 2003 Domain/Forest functional level with Exchange 2003 Server Standard installed. I'd like to rename the name (not the domain) of this server. I'm aware of the "netdom computername" method of renaming a domain controller, but have been unsuccesful in tracking down any documentation or instances of people doing this with an Exchange 2003 server. I could possibly build a test server with Exchange 2003 and try that (though it would certainly expend quite a bit of valuable time) as a last resort. Has anyone attempted th...

Now click on the icon on the tool tray that looks like three squares with the center square lighter than the two adjacent squares.

Importing Excel and Word using automation
The last time I tried this I got very frustrated. I think I'll probably need to buy a book or something. Can someone recommend such a resource, or any other suitable resource for that matter? Before you go out and buy a book, try reading the Automation documentation that Microsoft provides with their Office applications. The documentation file names vary, depending on the version of Office, but for instance, my Office 2003 documentation is in files named the following (obviously, the root path varies depending on where you installed): E:\Office\OFFICE11\1033\VBAXL10.CHM E:\Office\OFF...

who do lists in word not keep indents consistent?
In a numbered list, I keep encountering random changes in indent settings part of the way through a document. For example, if I have a) as the fifth level set with indents at 2.0 and 2.25 at the outset, for no apparent reason, in the middle of the document, word will suddenly start indenting level a) at 2.5 and 2.75. I've spend hours fiddling with this, to no avail. It really destroys the format of an outlined list when the same level is indented at random points throughout the document. To set up the numbering in your documents properly, see the following page of fellow M...

Open New Visio Drawing using VBA in Word?

Our goal is to create a macro within the Word template to call Visio, open a new drawing and have a custom stencil set open for users to use. Users would then open create their flowchart/diagram in Visio, and it would update automatically into the Word template when Visio is closed. I'm using the following code to start Visio, however I'm stuck on where to go from there: Sub Visio() Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\VISIO.exe", vbN...
