Audibles in Word 2013

Hello,
How can Word 2013 be set to play a sound for the 'save changes' popup? (see screenshot).
Is it a Word or Windows 7 setting?

Hi,
As far as I know, we don't have such a built-in setting in Word 2013 or Win7 for this.
Probably, you can post in the forum of Word for Developers and see if we can realize this function with a scripting solution:

Can not open Word 2010 docx in Word 2013 from Outlook 2013 mail

Hello,
I got a mail on outlook with a word 2010 attachment in docx format.
Open this attachment with double click will show only the welcome screen with the text Open in protected mode.
With process monitor I could that word 2013 in an endless loop and tries to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\Vprsu" in an loop.
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually there will be an loop to create the registry key
"HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\Assist".
The result is always ACCESS DENIED.
When I create this key manually. Word show the attachment immediatelly.
Closing Word and open the attachment again will delete this registry key and the cycle starts again.
Is there a hotfix available that will repair this?
I think this is an error in word 2013 protected view.
Disabling the protected view will help, but is not an good solution.
Is there any other workarround?
Screenshot from process monitor:
Best Regards,

This issue may occur if the default file associations for Word are damaged. You may repair Office 2013 to restore the file associations and check if that helps. Refer to the link below for more information. You may restart
the computer once the repair is done.

PDFMaker loads but won't work in Word 2013 - Acrobat XI and DC - Win 8.1 Pro

OK, I opened a question that never got answered and it never was resolved...
Just updated to Acrobat DC - same problem exists...
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro fully up to date..
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 Pro (I have an Office 365 subscription so it's the click-to-run install).
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro DC.
I've rebooted (a full restart, not Win 8's fast boot restart) between each installation.
I've tried this in multiple Office applications, none of them work EXCEPT for Outlook.
For the following I will use Word as my examples...
I've uninstalled all plug-ins and still it won't work.
I've tried running Word as Administrator.... still won't work.
OK... so this is what it looks like... as you can see the toolbar loads, but no icons...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsbs4kon3z4e965/Word%20Acrobat%20Screenshot.jpg?dl=0
When you click on those buttons... it goes through the motions as if it were creating the PDF... but no file is ever created...
If I right-click on a Word document and select Convert to PDF - it goes through the motions of creating the PDF, asks me where to save... and then a dialog box named "Acrobat PDFMaker" comes up saying " {Exclamation Point Yellow Triangle Icon} An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
If I right-click on a text file... and select Covert to PDF, it immediately pops open a PDF of the text file. Same with any image file.
This was all working perfectly up until out of nowhere it stopped working on January 26, 2015. See my original posting here: Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working
I can Print to PDF using the PDF Printer without any problems.
Creating a PDF in Outlook, no problems...
I'm hoping somebody can figure this one out... I'm completely stumped.... and I'm usually very good at troubleshooting stuff.

Click to Run according to Microsoft:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427.aspx
"Click-to-Run is a Microsoft streaming and virtualization technology that reduces the time that is required to install Office and helps you run multiple versions of Office on the same computer. The streaming technology enables you to download and begin to use an Office product before the whole product is installed on your computer. The virtualization technology provides an isolated environment for Office to run on your computer. This isolated environment allows you to run the latest version of Office side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer."

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
page.

Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

Hello,
From several weeks my company has a problem
with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
via VPN.
Symptoms:
- Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
opening a blank card)
- there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
- All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
- When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
It is not a problem with VPN because:
- Word is opening locally (not network files)
- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
Does anyone know a similar case
and could help solve this problem?
Regards,
Pawel

Hi,
"- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.

Microsoft word 2013 function home and end keys not working together on HP Envy X2

Please help I've tried out Microsoft Office Word 2013 on two HP Envy X2 11.6" laptops/touch screen with keyboard and when I am in a Word document and am at the end or beginning of a document and select the FUNCTION KEY AND THE HOME OR END KEY, it does nothing. This is not the case in Internet Explorer or a web browser. There is a problem with the HP keyboard and Office 2013 or maybe any Word app. Help me as I use documents alot and rely on this function heavily. I can only page up or scroll up using the bar. It is not ideal.

Word 2013 (Windows 7 64-bit) - Embed PDF as Icon Error

We have a process where we embed PDFs into a table in a Word document as an icon.
This worked for us in Word 2010, but as soon as we upgraded to Word 2013 we started getting an error message.
"The program used to create this object is Package. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Package or ensure that any dialog boxes in Package are closed."
Nothing has changed except uninstalling Office 2010 and installing Office 2013. Acrobat is still there(fully updated XI pro). Acrobat is not open when the attempt to embed is made.
I've tried altering every option I could find that might make this process work, but nothing does the trick. All software is fully updated as far as I can tell. It feels like Office 2013 is not keen on the idea of working with PDFs. The
Acrobat Add-In seems to only promote converting word docs to PDFs, and I found little to no settings referring to PDF embedding or any embedding for that matter.
Does Word 2013 disallow this feature unless you're using Windows 8 and the Windows Reader app?
Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks.

Hi,
Please try to insert some PDF files from Insert tab --> Object --> Create New --> Adobe Acrobat Document
In addition, make sure Adobe Reader is the default application to open the PDF files.
If the issue persists, please try repair or reinstall the latest version of Adobe reader and check this again.

Acrobat XI Pro Word 2013 add-in stopped working

I was using Acrobat yesterday no problems... Today, Acrobat XI Pro's add-in in Word 2013 (Office 365 click-to-run version) just stopped working.
I tried uninstalling Office and acrobat, reboot... reinstall office and acrobat... download all updates... reboot
But now the Acrobat tab shows up in Word again... But all the icons are blank and click any of them causes Word to freeze. I have to kill winword.exe to continue using my computer.
Any ideas????

Word 2013 - MSI Install vs. One-Click Install - COM Exception Error

Frozen out menu ribbon in Word 2013 and cannot preview word documents in Outlook 2013

I seem to be having a recurring problem with Word 2013 from Office Home Edition single user. When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire document page layout changes from portrait to something close to landscape and then the entire menu ribbon freezes
out. I usually have to save the file, close and reopen using the open and repair feature as the document only opens in read only after this incidence happens. Since the first time I experienced this in early July, I haven't been able to preview Word files
in office outlook 2013 and the protected mode feature hasn't worked since then either.
Can I get some help with this please? I reinstalled, did online fixing and tried a few other fixes to no avail. Could it have started as a result of my installing a trial version of Office Visio which comes as a totally different package from my Home edition?
Thank you

... When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire ...
Is this the only action that will result in the issue? Does this happen to any Word documents?
The first thing that I'd suggest you to do is to install any available updates to your system and Office installation, and then verify result.
Then, please check if you have any add-ins integrated with your Word 2013 (please note that some programs might install add-ins automatically), try in safe mode and see if issue was caused by some add-in conflicts:

High CPU Usage in Word 2013

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with Word 2013 and I'm hoping someone can help. Seen as I got fleeced for my TechNet subscription this year (the price given on the invoice doubled when I called up to pay!) I’d very much like to see a speedy fix from the Microsofties
please! :D
Recently, I've found that Word will consistently exhibit high CPU utilisation, ~50% on a dual core second generation Core i5.
This continues, even when I’m not providing any input to or interacting with the Word window and even when the Word window is covered by other windows. Minimising Word causes its CPU usage to drop back down to zero.
The strange thing is that, so far, I’ve only observed this with a single document. I started writing this document at the start of this week and it’s been authored exclusively on Word 2013. In fact I’m the only one who’s editing it and I’ve only used a single
computer (and this one single install of Word 2013) to do so…
There’s nothing particularly unusual about this document, and a different but similar document which uses the same themes and features (in fact the theme for the second document was created from the first one) doesn’t appear to cause the same issues. Both
these documents are stored on SkyDrive, and are being edited directly from there.
Initially I tried the much recommended tweaks of disabling hardware graphics acceleration and sub-pixel positioning, however neither of these has had any effect.
I investigated a bit further using Sysinternals Process Monitor, and found that while Word is using a lot of CPU it’s actually looping very, very quickly polling for the existence of the registry key “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics”.
This key doesn’t exist on my system, and a quick test I conducted where I created it just lead to Word looping polling for more non-existent registry keys.
My system is a HP Folio 13 running Windows 8 Pro x64 with Office 2013 (RTM, not Beta) 32 bit. Both Windows and Office are fully patched, as is everything else on the system.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Chris

Hello again,
After working on my problematic document some more, I believe I’ve found the cause of the issue.
@Microsofties – I think this one is either a bug or a dodgy OOTB template…
I noticed that the high CPU usage only seemed to occur when the document’s footer was displayed. Experimenting with some careful scrolling and zooming to hide footer (without actually using the “hide white-space” option) seemed to confirm this so I investigated
the footer a bit more.
My document was using the standard Word “Facet (Odd Page)” footer template with a couple of fields added to suit my needs, namely “Publish Date” and a page number.
The template seems to be structured such that the content of the footer is inside two nested text boxes (one inside the other). I also noticed previously that this footer template also appears to “jump” up each page and back down again as I scrolled.
So I deleted the footer and its text boxes, and recreated the same content, in the same position (using the standard paragraph alignment tools) by hand without the nested text boxes. This has, so far, fixed the issue!
I also noticed that the CPU usage dropped right down to idle the moment I deleted the nested text boxes.
Altogether, this leads me to conclude that the “Facet (Odd Page)” footer template in Word 2013 is the source of my issue. Specifically, I believe that the use of nested text boxes in this template causes Word’s interactions with the .Net 4.5 WPF to go a
bit nuts, as evidenced by the infinite loop of request for the non-existent “Avalon.Graphics” WPF registry key I mentioned previously.
It would be nice to see some feedback on this one, Microsoft people, if only to know if this is actually a general issue or is specific to my document!
Thanks, Chris

Word 2013/64bit Installed on Windows 8.1 pro 64bit

Hi everyone,
1. Error:
When I open Microsoft Word 2013 I get the window “Microsoft Visual
Basic for Applications”
Compile error in hidden module: NotOE.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click “Help” for information on how correct this error.
After I click OK the window is gone.
2. Error:
When I open a new blank document another window pops up : “Microsoft Word” … The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.
I click Ok and the word is working fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mario

Hi Mario,
Please try to start Word 2013 in safe mode and see if issue persists: Press Win + R and type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
"Compile error in hidden module: NotOE" -
I'm not sure what exactly "NotOE" is, but it usually indicate a third party add-in, you might want to have a check.
Also, please browser to Word Startup folder and see if you have any similar .dot/.xla add-in template files. If yes, try to delete them, then verify result. The path of Word Startup folder can be found by going to FILE>Options>Advanced tab>click
File Locations... button under General section.
Hope this helps.

How can i use MS Word 2013 Templete in MS office 2010

I have a situation where I have to able to give the Word templete to the customer who is using MS Office 2010 as well as 2013.
Now i have created a word templete (added schema reference from xml Mapping menu) using MS office 2013.When i try to do changes on word document in MS 2010.It is not finding the schema reference.
Note :
Just downgraded our Office suite from 2013 to 2010 on our terminal server to find out that I cannot make changes to the default templates in the 2010 version because it’s an older word doc and it wont save the
content controls, when I make a change and save it. It wants to upgrade to a .docx each time and this app doesn’t seem to look for the .docx
Can any one suggestion me why word templete not having schema reference if I open the doc in Ms office 2010.
And How can i make it work with both in Ms office 2010 & 2013.
Thanks,
kavitha

To get the best answer to your question, I recommend you follow Ms. Meister's advice and post your question(s) on this in the
Word Answers forum. More people will see it. If you do this, please put a link in this thread to the new question.
Word 2013 documents work fine in Word 2010, 2007, and 2003, for that matter. Word 2013-specific features do not work in those earlier versions.
You may find the tools provided by Graham Mayor and Greg Maxey helpful. They provide for linked content controls that work in Word 2007-2013.

There is a version especially for Word 2013 but I don't think it's documents will be backward-compatible either.

Word 2013 holds onto file after exit

I regularly download a file via FTP as file yyy.doc on my hard drive. As soon as the transfer completes, I double-click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it in Word 2013. (I've got it configured to prompt me for "Convert File -- from Plain Text"
during the open.) I then run some VBE macros to format the file, saving it in Word 2013 format but retaining the original .doc extension.
Every now and then I hit a problem when I X-out of that document while I still have other Word docs open. I don't know if the issue is related to changes I may have made to the doc that I choose to discard on exit. But after what appears to be a clean exit,
I re-run the FTP, downloading into the same file, yyy.doc. The FTP gets an error because the file is apparently still in use. Today several FTP's in a row failed due to this, then a short time later it worked. Other times I found that if I closed all the other
Word docs, the FTP would start working successfully, but that may just be a timing thing, and eventually it might have worked even if I didn't close those other documents.
After getting the error from FTP, if I try to delete file yyy.doc, which still shows up in Windows Explorer, it tells me that the delete can't be performed because the file is still in use by Word.
I'm guessing this has to do with the "Welcome back" feature. (Incidentally, often it welcomes me back to my document after I have overlaid the previous version completely via FTP. How would that ever work?) Does anybody have any thoughts as to
why the file remains in use by Word? Any way for me to change the current behavior?
Rich G

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your feedback.
I noticed that you mentioned "ran my Word 2013 macros to format the file and save it". What if you open and save it directly without running the macro? Just give it a try and see if issue persists.
So actually the problem will go away after about one minute, I would suggest we try to run
Process Monitor to track down the issue and see what's causing the delay (accessing the process).
If you would like us to help analyze the Process Monitor log, you can send the log file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).

Word 2013 with text in front of a shape not converting to PDF with Acrobat XI

Hello,
I have a Word 2013 document with Shapes (Insert > Shapes) in the background. Text is in front of the shape, shapes are set behind the text. I take the document to work where I have Win7, Word 2010 and Acrobat X Pro and it converts perfectly, with the text in front of the shape. No problem. When I get home, it doesn't work. At home I have Win7 64-bit, Word 2013 (x64) and Acrobat XI Pro (latest everything, all patches up to date) and when I create a PDF either through Word, right-clicking on the doc and choosing convert, or from Acrobat XI it doesn't display the text. I get the shape, and it looks like can even highlight the text, but the text doesn't appear.
I just completely uninstalled both Acrobat XI and Acrobat Reader XI and then ran the latest Acrobat Cleaner (R2) and cleaned up both Acrobat and Reader. Rebooted, installed Acrobat XI (no reader), updated with all the latest patches. Still, the same problem with everything set to default.
Please explain how to make my life better.
Thanks,
Chris.

Found the problem.
Adobe, I found a BUG. I want a year of cookies. Not the virtual type, I want real cookies. Chocolate. Maple.
Word 2013 ...
Create a doc and put some sort of FIELD in the footer. I used STYLEREF and choose a Style. That's a very common thing to do for keeping the title of your document in the footer.
Now ... insert a SHAPE. Make that shape sit BEHIND the text.
DONE.
Create your PDF. The text won't be visible.
BUG.
Cookies.
