Format Painter in Word 2010 does not hold all formatting for text, anything change?

I have been using the Format Painter tool since 2003. In the 2010 version in Word, I can duplicate what seems to be a bug. I have a line of text that a few words are blue and bolded. I wanted to copy that formating, so I click in the word (or select a
portion of text -- works the same either way) and then paint over the text to be modified. The text I had selected was Calibri, bold and blue, my resulting text was Times, and blue...it lost the bolding and the font somehow. Has the tool changed in 2010?

I have the exact same problem. I'm finishing a document someone else created with wacky fonts/sizes/underlines/bullets/hanging indents etc all over the place. I selected all, made it Arial size 11, set the line spacing to 1.5 and removed any underlines.
I went into paragraph and set line spacing before and after to 0, and removed spaces between paragraphs of the same style.
As an example of random behaviour here is what just happened.
One piece of text is arial, 11, with a checkbox bullet. When I look at its style while it is highlighted, there is no style selected.
I use format painter to bring the top style down to the bottom one, and the bottom one changes to Times New Roman, 10, with the checkbox bullet and the new tab indent.
[---] I think format painter should apply a style, period. Forget the 'Normal' style of the document, because when I'm matching format styles, I want that style, not whatever the Normal style is set to.
The format painter only “records” paragraph formatting (including paragraph styles) if you select a whole paragraph. If you select multiple paragraphs, there might be conflicting settings, and the format painter can’t store all of the formatting.
When you are reformatting a whole document, the format painter is a less useful tool. Instead, do the following: Make a printout of the document for reference. Then apply Normal style to all paragraphs (Ctrl+Shift+N) and manually apply the appropriate
style to headings, lists, and any other paragraphs of your document. Modify styles to suit your needs.

Word 2010 does not input in Russian when language is switched from English to Russian.

I have Word 2010 with Russian language pack.
When I switch language from English to Russian Word does not allow any input of Russian symbols until I press any symbol from English keyboard like any number, space or backspace. After that I can input Russian symbols.
This does not happen when I switch from Russian to English.
This does not happen in any other Office program (like Excel).
This does not happen with any other program like notepad or wordpad.

Another thing I've found out is that along with Standard PS/2 Keyboard I have installed HID Keyboard Device.
Can it be somehow related to my issue?
Hi,
How about on the system without this issue? Do you have HID Keyboard Device installed on it too?
You can try to install the HID Keyboard Device on the system with no issue, then check if the problem will start to occur. If the issue occurs after the installation of the device, the issue is probably caused by a conflict caused by the device.

Build Specification does not include all files for my VI.

Hi!
As a part of a semester project i have build a VI to control a filtration unit. The VI is working fine on my computer, but I graduate next month and I have to deliver the files on to a person on the university. The problem is that even though i use the "Build Specification" function (i use LabView 2011 Professional Development System), files are still missing when the program is started on the new computer. A warning in the project file indicates that files are missing or removed to a different location. A file named pid.lib is not found, and it seems like the path to each file is the same as on my computer, but the build specification doesn't change that to fit the new computer.
I am a LabView newbe, and I have searced this forum and help files to try to solve this by my self, but now my time is becoming limited. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi Henrik
You can see what versions of LabVIEW and which Toolkits is installed in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). If you Open MAX, and Select "My System" --> "Software in the left menu, then you can see all software installed.
If you click on the LabVIEW installation. In this case LabVIEW 2011, you can see all toolkits installed.
When you run a LabVIEW project / application on another PC, LabVIEW will use a defined priority of where to load the files from. This is specified in Tools --> Options --> Path --> VI Search Path.
So LabVIEW will frist try to find the VI/VI library in the folder of your project and if the VI is not located there it will look for it as a build function in the vilib, userlib or instrlib folders of LabVIEW. These folders contains VI's and VI libraries installed with LabVIEW.
In this case, as mentioned above you properly don't have the same toolkits installed on both machines. Therefore the PID.lib is not found in the vilib folder as it should be, and thereby you get the error. You can confirm this by reviewing the installed modules as mentioned above.

MacBook Air 11 in. does not hold a charge

I have a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch computer that I got in the fall of 2013. It does not hold a charge for very long, probably only 2-3 hours before I have to charge it again. This happens even though I always have my brightness on low. When I shut down my computer at the end of the night and go to use it the next day, the battery will also be drained. I do not know why this happens...

1. did you often drain the battery very low?
2. did you often /always have your macbook on charge,......or did you often / always BOTH have your macbook on charge AND in sleep mode?
1 or 2 are harsh on the battery chemistry and therefore its longevity
all batteries are consumables meant to replaced either in their own "due time" or early due to abuse / misuse.

Right click with mouse in Word 2013 does not give the list with translate and synonyms etc

since i upgraded to windows 8.1 right click on words in word 2013 does not open the regular list where you can tap on synonyms and translate.
it does work if i touch the screen.
i moved to mouse mode but it does not help
can anyone help...
i am starting to hate windows 8.1 and word 2013 because of this feature not working

Hi
I have tested in my computer and it worked well.
Normally when we type a wrong spelling, right clicking the word does not give a list with translate and synonyms.
Check to make sure your spelling is right.
if the issue persists, Start Word in safe mode to check the issue:Hold "Ctrl" key and click into the program.
It is also recommended that you do a repair for your Office suites in
Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair

Filedown has a nasty reputation in English-speaking countries - plenty of antivirus/antimalware apps block everything there by default, which is what Peter has done. It doesn't mean that your link is malicious, only that it's hosted somewhere that has been used to host malware in the past.
I'm pretty sure, Peter, that there aren't any nonbreaking spaces there, because I'd wager that there aren't any spaces there at all. It's justified text, and the reasons why it will or will not break are sometimes obscure when using composers that aren't the J composer. Chinese text is usually entirely free of spaces, except in certain circumstances, usually involving European language inserted into Chinese text. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, InDesign will simply treat Chinese as if it were English, and only break at spots permissible in Euro languages. That's not the case here - it obviously breaks between two Chinese glyphs, so something else is up here.
Which version of InDesign are you using? Are you keying the text directly into InDesign, or are you placing, or copying/pasting?
If you're using an English version of InDesign, I would suggest trying to save your Chinese text as raw text or RTF and File -> Place that. If you choose RTF, try to mark it with Chinese language in your RTF editor (Word?) if possible.
Is No Break applied anywhere in your text? You can check in the Story editor (Control/Command Y) to see what styles and formatting are applied.

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

My iPod Classic 120GB is clicking and not turning on. It has been charged but does not hold charge. I am not able to restore factory settings. Error code and have tried troubleshooting options without success. Thoughts?

My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
power off and press power button methods.
uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
battery check from HP Assistant.
updating Bios to F.1b method.
updating the HP Support Assistant.
and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ? i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, M_Bilal
Welcome to the HP Forums.
That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

CD/DVD drive does not read all DVD formats and regions

Hi
My Teac-dw-224e-a does not read all DVDs formats and regions.
It does read CDs but no DVDs at all.
Not DVD-R and not even regular DVDs. I have checked the region of the DVD.
I have reinstalled the driver and also tried with different software.
What can I do?
Please help!

Hi
It is possible that your DVD drive has wrong region settings.
In this case it is not able to watch all possible DVD movies from different regions.
Of course you can change the settings 4 times. But after this changing the settings are fixed and its not possible to change it anymore.

My batterie doesn't work correctly to my Iphone 5. It should work longer, but it's worse. My battery does not hold a full day without much use.

It should work longer, but it's worse. My battery does not hold a full day without much use.
When the new version of ISO6 will come ??? A lot of apps don't work correctly too.... :-(
I'm a little bit disappointed...

Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap
phone for your month in Argentina.

Parked document 1000 700010042 2010 does not exist, Message no. FP076

Hi,
There is one Document which is not on tax return but made a entry in a GL account (VAT).
When I display document from FB03 for fiscal year 2010 the transaction code FB03 is diverting to FBV3 and giving error message : "Parked document 1000 700010042 2010 does not exist" "Message no. FP076"
I also checked the tables "BSEG" & "BKPF" where this document is visible to me also I checked the GL line items from FBL3N for the VAT GL where this document is showing in line items report, but when i double clik to display this documents again am getting screen of FBV3 with the same error message.
can any one let me know what could be the problem? and how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abdul

Hi Venkata,
Thanks for the information....
Addition to the above information ... there are 3 line items are there in this document 1 - K (Vendor), 2 - S (GL).
The strange thing I can see is against 1st line item (K-Vendor) there is a clearing document updated.
So if there is a clearing document against vendor line that means this document is no more in parking ...
I am not sure why system is performing like this...
Can anyone help me on this ....
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abdul

Word substitution does not work on texts

Word substitution does not work when texting. It's fine in all other applications. Not even the pre defined substitutions like "mypin" works within text.

It does not work in commenting on BBM group pictures and in some BBM Channel comments... works every where else.
