Autocorrect function in Word 2013

Please Microsoft, listen to the unanimous feedback and restore the right click autocorrect function to MS Word. This function was not "clutter", it is one of the most common tools in use, as you can judge by forum comments ever since users discovered
the function had been buried in the menu.
The workaround of installing the autocorrect options on the ribbon or quick access toolbar are some help, but still nowhere near as useful as having the option back where it was in previous versions of Word.
Please listen to your customers and restore our beloved autocorrect to the right click menu and as an option in the spell check dialogue box.

Hi,
Thanks for the kind suggestion, but I haven't heard any plan to change it so far, since this feature was removed on purpose as a low use feature to clean up the interface:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178954(en-us).aspx
As you have known the workaround, I suggest you submit the feedback while using the product, press Ctrl + Alt + 7 or Ctrl + Alt + 8 when using Word 2013, then the Microsoft Office Feedback dialog will pop up, write to Microsoft and we
will hear your voice.

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.

Autocorrect right-click options in Word 2013

I don't know where else to provide this feedback.
Office team - can you please add the Autocorrect options back into the context-sensitive right-click menu on a spelling mistake in Word. I use these
all the time every day and its a PIA to not have them there.
Thanks for your time to hear some feedback on how to make Word better (again).
G.

So here's a way to voice your displeasure to Microsoft on this change in Office 2013 (if you are comfortable making changes to your Registry):
1. Start/Run --> Regedit
2. Expand the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Feedback
            a. If there is a DWORD key for
Enabled,
                     * Change the value to "1"
                     * Close regedit and re-launch Word.
                     * Jump to Step 3.
            b. If there is no DWORD key for
Enabled
                     * Right-click in the right-window pane (under the Feedback folder)
                     * Select
New --> DWORD (32-bit) Value
                     * Name the DWORD
Enabled and press [Enter]
                     * Set the value to 1.
                     * Close regedit and re-launch Word.
3. When Word opens, you’ll have a smiley emoticon in the top right hand corner of your screen, click it.
  4. You’ll be given the option to “Send a smile” or “Send a frown”…one guess which version this forum will send lol
5. Click the option that pertains to your desired feedback (or submit feedback via both options so they get it either way…).
6. Fill out the form at your discretion; word of thought: be critical but not mean and dismissive, there is a difference. (Exa: Please provide an update that brings back the right-click context menu for the Autocorrect side-scroll dropdown list. If
not by default, at least allow it to be a selectable option within the File/Options menu.)
7. I’ve attached a “screenshot” below (if it doesn't get screened out) that you can open in the background and have that be your “screenshot” view if you want to send that to Microsoft with your feedback (or create/edit your own as you see fit).
8. Also, if you want to “fix it” yourself like you see in my attached screenshot, search this forum post for a reply by “Greg Maxey”. He created a workaround that when you copy it to the Word startup folder
(C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP), it will re-enable the feature. His template addendum can be found here:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_resources/Add%20AutoCorrect%20to%20Word%202013%20Spelling%20Shortcut%20Menu.dotm
It
just needs to be copied to the folder mentioned above and when you restart Word 2013, the option is available again.

Acrobat XI Toolbar Broken in Word 2013

For some time I have been frustrated with an issue with the Acrobat plugin for Word 2013.
The problem manifests as follows:
All icons in the Acrobat toolbar disappear as below.
Clicking Preferences, Create PDF, etc. works fine. I can set conversion preferences as normal. When I hit create PDF I get the expected save as dialog. However, when I try to save the file my document flickers (i.e. screen disappears and reappears for a second) and nothing happens. No PDF whatsoever. If I do this for a large document the page flickers then it scrolls through the document at a rapid pace, presumably figuring out cross-references and bookmarks. There is a minimised dialog showing the creation process:
And after this gets about 5% of the way through it says converting to Acrobat PDF and the whole thing crashes and reopens the document, resulting in no PDF. This is quite frustrating as I need this printing option to maintain bookmarks.
I have removed the COM add-in. I have configured Word to run as admin. I have reinstalled the plugin. This fixes nothing and the toolbar icons remain blank. The only solution I have found so far is to completely uninstall Word 2013 and Acrobat XI Pro and then reinstall them both. However, the bug manifests again very quickly - i.e. within a few openings of Word.]
Has this been encountered before? Is there a fix? Why is this plugin so broken! Perhaps it has to do with Acrobat updates which occur post-installation?
Any help is appreciated. I need to do this conversion for a 300+ page document so may just bite the bullet and uninstall/reinstall everything but it would be nice to know that I don't have to do this every single time I want to make a PDF with cross-referenced links in it.

Hi Zenomarketing,
Please update Acrobat to 11.0.6 and check.
Do you have full permissions on the system. Since you said removing Acrobat and Office and reinstalling it temporarily fixes it, there is a possibility that the functionality is being corrupted by a 3rd party software.
Please try the following steps :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try reinstalling in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

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:

When will RH10 support importing Word 2013 docs?

When will Robohelp 10 support importing documents from Word 2013?
If Adobe does not add this functionality, my organization will have to switch to Doc-to-Help.

The indication that 2013 is supported is a mistake and I will bring that to Adobe's attention. As Willam indicates, there will not be a patch for Rh10.
There is a workaround for creating printed documentation. See Using Rh10 on my site. There is no workaround for importing.

Word 2013 - restrict formatting

Hi
I have a template created in Word 2013 where I want to restrict what people can to with it. The document is set out as a table. I want to make sure that the font is always Arial and the size is always size 10. No changes can be made to these. Also, as the
document is set out in table format, I don't want people typing in too much and it changes the size of the cells. How can I set a character limit?
One final question - I have a series of cells with a tick symbol in, I want people to be able to remove the ticks from the relevant boxes.
Any suggestions?
Viv
Viv Haig

Hi,
Based on my test, please try the following workaround:
1. Set the Arial font and the size was default
Press Ctrl+D>Choose font and size>Set as default
2. Click the Layout tab> Set a fixed Height and Width value>Auto Fit> Fixed Column width
After that the table is fixed, and if type more letters than 10, it will not display.
3. Add protection to a template
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/add-protection-to-a-template-HA010030757.aspx
The article also applies to Word 2013.
To your other question, where did you have a series of cells with a tick symbol in Word file or Excel file? We could try to use Replace function, type the tick symbol and replace all of them to blank.
If I misunderstand, please let me know and give me more information.

RH 11 CSS Mapping Styles issue with Word 2013

Hello members,
Any help will be much appreciated.
Platform: Win 7, RH 11, Word 2013 however, using an existing Word Template that was created in Word 2007.
HISTORY:
Six months ago, an upgrade of RH8 to RH11 took place (smooth, no issues reported). Please note, I have no "easy" way to verify if there was a problem in RH8 (all projects are upgraded, and old builds are backed up on IT server).
There are existing Styles created in RH and in the Word Template (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Normal, normal_bold, etc.). These existing Styles have no mapping issues hence, RH CSS recognizes their corresponding Word Styles.
ISSUE:
RH11 CSS does not recognize New RH Styles and Word Styles.
NOTE: Styles are the same type. “For example, character to character, paragraph to paragraph, table to table, and multi-level list to multi-level list” (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7ee4.ht ml#WS21E2B5E4-C4AC-47b2-9D4B-D548EA9E3C04).
Things Tried:
Converted (SaveAs) my template .dot (Word 2007) to ".dotm" (Word 2013) = No change in issue mentioned above.
What do I see when I create new Styles in RH CSS and Word Template: I am able to map Table and Multi Level List.
Purpose: Working on a documentation standard project. Creating New Styles ‘based on’ existing styles. For example:
RH CSS
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Formatting: Font =10pt
Indents: Left = 36pt
Spacing: Before = 0px
Paragraph: Alignment = Left
Indentation: Left = 18pt, Right = 0pt, Special = Hanging (By 18pt)
Spacing: Before = 6pt, After = 0pt, Line Spacing = Single
Advanced:
Word Template (.dot)
ListBullet
Style: Paragraph
Style Properties: Name = ListBullet, Style type = Paragraph, Style based on = Normal, Style for following paragraph = ListBullet
Formatting: Font = Arial Font style = Regular, Size = 9pt, Font color = Automatic (black), Underline style = none
Paragraph/Indents & Spacing: Alignment = Left, Outline level = Body Text
Indentation: Left = 0.25", Right = 0", Special = Hanging (By: 0.25")
Spacing: Before = 0pt, After = 6pt, Line Spacing = Single, Selected (Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style)
Paragraph/Line & Page Breaks: Pagination = Window/Orphan control, Tight wrap = None
Bullet Format: Font = Symbol, Font style = Regular, Size = 9, Font color = no color
Problem I am having is as follows:
RH Wizard section - Print Document Appearance
Project’s CSS Styles (Used Only or All)
ListBullet
Microsoft Word Styles (all)
Unassigned – Use style in project) drop-down list
The Style “ListBullet” does NOT show in the list
NOTE: This anomaly I just reported happens for ANY new ‘Paragraph Style’ I create. If I create a List/MultiList, and the names of the Style are the same in RH and Word, RH Wizard automatically maps them. However, reading on multiple forums, authors have reported problems with Indentations (i.e., Word over extends the indentations); I have see this as well.
PS - Happy Holidays to you and your families. My Best, ~PM
PSS - Hi Peter ... I reviewed your site and this site, and Googled as well before posting.

Thank you Peter and Amebr for your assistance. I ended up using RH Multilevel List Style, configured, and created an identical List Style in Word. I created a Single and a Multilevel (e.g., Level = bullet, Level 2 = squares); their challenge is matching RH indents with Word Indents... It's sort of a bear since RH does not have the Format Paragraph option (ref. drop-down) like Word Lists - Numbering functionality.
After generating my print document mu Bullet style reads "Normal (Web)"; even though the RH CSS Wizard recognized Word List Style I created (Ref. Font: Symbol, Font color: Black, Indent: Left: 0.15", Hanging: 0.25", Outline numbered + Level: 1 +, Numbering Style: Bullet + Aligned at: 0.15" + Indent at: 0.4", Priority: 100, Based on: No List.
Question: Would anyone out there know why is when I highlight my bullet list to verify the correct Style (with the Styles pane open) and I see the "Normal (Web)" [its Style type = Paragraph and Style based on = Normal) is selected? If it came through (from Rh) as a true Multilevel List Style, I should not see anything.
Happy Holidays!

Ever since I downloaded Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker and Save As PDF have not worked, but instead cause MS Word 2013 to crash.

Ever since I downloaded the Acrobat Pro 11.0.09, the PDF Maker has not worked, but instead causes MS Word 2013 to crash. I cannot find the cause or the solution.
forumnotifier

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Gray

How to copy one user-created Group from one tab to another tab in word 2013 Ribbon

hi Friends
in Word 2013 Ribbon, i have created a customized Tab & a customized Group within it which contains some stuff.
i need this Group & all its contents be copied also to another tab (for example Home tab).
is there any workaround to copy it to another tab?
i know i can customize the ribbon, create new Group, find each desired item & add each one to group... but i don't want to do this method because is time consuming & is creating from scratch which is not desired
any solution?
thanks in advanced

Hi,
As far as I know, we can only export the entire ribbon and QAT with the build-in Export functionality in Microsoft Office, not just part of it.
However, the exported Customizations.ExportedUI file is a XML text file. We may try to modify the
Customizations.ExportedUI file to achieve the goal. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee704589(v=office.14).aspx
Since it's a development issue to customize the Customizations.ExportedUI
file and we are not experts on such issues, I'd recommend you post a question in the Word for Developers forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=worddev
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most

Word 2013 is not autosaving even though it is set up

Office 2013 is set up to autosave every 10 minutes. For some reason it is not autosaving. What could be possible reasons why it is no longer working. I have not made any changes.
I was working on a document tonight. After I saved and closed it I needed to reopen it. I found out that it had been deleted off the server, which according to Microsoft Tech is unusual too It appears they were working on the server at the same time and
I just lucked out. So I looked for the autosave version and it was not there.
This was a double whammy since the copy that should have saved to my computer onedrive was not updating and I assume the one that was deleted on the server was the current version with the updates. So all my work was for not. At minimum I want to autosave
to work. In the meantime I set up another backup process to save the file automatically when I close the it.
I am starting to not trust Office 365 - deleting files is unacceptable. I may as well purchase office 2013 and back up my computer myself.
Thanks.

Hi,
We have definitely heard your frustration, and we're going to find the reason and avoid the issue first. Based on your description, I suppose that you are working on a document that stored in a server/network not in local disk.
We may try to find the un-saved file, Word 2013 presents user with an Autorecover functionality to save all unsaved work. Please see the article:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/finding-autorecovery-autosave-in-word-2013/b97ac2fc-d291-44b0-b76c-2a07414d6bc4
Then, we may change AutoRecover interval time to 2 min and test it if it is work now. If it still not auto save, please try to repair Office 365 and disable all the add-ins.
Next, we pay attention to the other issue: OneDrive not update/sync file.
Did you get some error message?
Which operation system are you using?
Please try to follow below links to troubleshoot it.

How to repair a corrupted word 2013 document?

Yesterday I was working on a very important Microsoft Word (2013) document, when it suddenly crashed. Upon trying to reopen the file Word said: “The
file is corrupted and cannot be opened”. I have tried all of the other methods of restoring it, such as opening it in a different program, or opening it and choosing "open and repair" in MS Word.

When a Word document file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try the recovery function integrated with Microsoft Word, as follows:
1) On the File menu, click Open.
2) In the Look in list, click the drive, folder, or Internet location that contains the file that you want to open.
3) In the folder list, locate and open the folder that contains the file.
4) Select the file that you want to recover.
5) Click the arrow next to the Open button, and then click Open and Repair.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/recover-the-text-from-a-damaged-document-HP005189610.aspx (for Word 2003)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893672/en-us (for Word 2007/2010/2013)
2. Second, since Word 2003, it provides a "Document Recovery" or "AutoRecover" mechanism so that when Word is shutdown abnormally, the Word file being edited will be recovered when Word is launched next time, which makes the file recovery possible.
See below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316951/
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827099/
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/do-you-want-to-view-recovered-files-again-HA010354297.aspx
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/automatically-save-and-recover-office-files-HP010140729.aspx

http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/use-the-document-recovery-task-pane-to-recover-your-files-HP010140613.aspx
for more detailed information.
3. If 1 and 2 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Word Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/word-repair/
It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

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,
Dieter

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...

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."
