Microsoft Word 2010 Hiding/Removing the Navigation Pane for Roaming Profiles

Hello all,
I am attempting to do what the title says. We are using Citrix Profile Manager...basically roaming profiles and when updating the Office version to 2010, users are displayed the Navigation Pane. If the NavPane is closed,
when they reopen their Citrix session it is back to default displaying the NavPane. Any help on getting this removed would be greatly appreciated.
I have so far attempted to create a macro Normal.dotm and works partially, however it is not consistent as each time it appears that the modified Normal.dotm becomes overwritten with a default one. I have also added this modified Normal.dotm to the
Default user profile locally on the server...to which it does not seem to pull.
Update:
I am currently looking to see on how to redirect the Normal.dotm away from %appdata%\microsoft\templates to a central location and have this applied to all users either user GPO or a per machine setup....but can't find anything specifically for Word 2010
configuration. Any help on this would also be beneficial.

Regarding the Navigation Pane. The setting for displaying it is indeed in the Windows Registry but it is part of a binary data key and thus mere mortals like us are not able to change it. You need a macro... see this link for an example.

Regarding changing the location of Word's Normal template via GPO it can be done. See below link. However, as is pointed out in the link, the recommendation is not to do so. If the central location server is down, no one will be able to create documents.
In addition, if someone accidentally or purposely alters/corrupts the Normal template... everyone is effected.

Remove the Navigation Pane Mini tool bar

I have Robo Wizard's skinny on skins (which has been a GREAT
HELP) to see if there is some magical way of making this little
critter disappear. The only suggestion there is to set the bar size
to 1 so it is still there but can't be seen.
The problem is I have to work to very tight accessibility
rules and have Jack boot wearing autocrats enforcing them. I have
managed with the remnants of a smile to comply some how with all
the requirements, from related topics buttons that are text and not
buttons, relative text sizes everywhere including the related
topics pop up to banishing tables and images.
If I just hide the tool bar I'm going to have continued
criticism over the use of frames, which I will have difficulty
defending if I have item there that aren't used or seen.
So to finally get to the point, does anyone know how to
remove the mini tool bar?

Unfortunately that's just a variation on the making the bar
invisible but it still existing route. What I need is a way to
remove the tool bar all together. What I don't want is the minibar
to still exist and screen reader software still listing it when it
performs no function in our help.
I have looked to see which files define the minibar and it
appears to be mainly in the whmsg java script file but it does not
look like alterations to just this file will remove the bar from
the help output entirely.
Can the minibar be removed or am I stuck with more redundant
code, frames etc cluttering up the output?

Can I permanently disable the navigation pane in HTML help?

My company has a web-based application on MicroStrategy platform.
I have created a customized WebHelp to replace the MicroStrategy out of the box help and that works just fine.
We are developing the MicroStrategy Office add-in for Excel for our clients.
Once installed, a CHM file is copied to the client's local hard drive.
We want to replace this with our own customized help.
I have created a CHM file with ONE topic that redirects the clients to our customzied WebHelp with content for the add-in.
The one topic has a redirect in the HTML header code as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://customhelp.htm#AddIn_Introduction.htm" />
That is working fine in my testing.
Here is my problem...
The HTML Help Viewer opens and automatically hides the Navigation Pane and displays the WebHelp (navigation pane, menu bar and topic pane).
But, the HTML Help Viewer still has the Hide/Show button to Hide/Show the navigation pane for the HTML help.
Is there ANY way to disable this or hide it or let it stay there but disable the navigation pane?
As always, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks --
Michael F Weart

Amebr and Priyank --
Thanks - that did exactly what I wanted it to do.
It did not work in my testing, but I think the KEY point that I missed was the sequence of unchecking the options in the Window setup.
Now I have a one topic CHM help file that automatically redirects to my WebHelp on my application server.
The CHM opens and automatically redirects to my WebHelp and the WebHelp (frameset and all) display in an HTML Help Viewer window that has no HTML Help Viewer navigation buttons.
One last note, the WebHelp displays with the Contents/Index/Search for WebHelp included in the presentation.
I have not deployed this in a non-test environment so I may still run into issues but so far it is good.
THANKS for all the help.

Word 2011 for Mac: Advanced question regarding the navigation pane--aka sidebar

Hi everyone--
I'm a new Mac owner, with a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage. I'm operating on the latest OS (Maverick), freshly purchased from the Apple store today (July 5, 2014).
Can you help me figure out if there is some way, in Word 2011 for Mac, to use the navigation pane (aka Sidebar) to click and drag entire sections of the document to a new location? This was basic (advanced, but fundamental) functionality in every version of Word I've used in recent years on Windows machines, and it is the critical reason I purchased Word instead of using one of a dozen free options. My job involves managing and editing large documents--from 2500 to 90,000 words--and the navigation pane/sidebar is crucial to my sanity.
Previously, I would open the navigation pane and it would show me the structure of my document based on the Heading types. I could click on a heading (say, a chapter title), inside the navigation pane, and drag it to a new location elsewhere in the document. So simple to rearrange the structure of large documents this way. Now, in the Word 2011 for Mac, I can call up the navigation pane (now called the "sidebar") and view the structure of the doc, but I can't actually click and drag anything in the navigation pane.
Other than this, so far my switch to Mac has gone swimmingly. I love the machine, and am amazed at how much cleaner and easier it is to set up than Windows machines. I'm so frustrated that I even have to interface with Microsoft any more, but this one piece of functionality is critical to me.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Heather

Dear Heather,
I don't know the specific answer to your question.
But as a new Mac owner, you should make sure that you are using the very latest version of Word 2011 for Mac.
My recommendation, if you haven't already done this, is to open Word and do Help > Check for Updates from Word's menu, and install any updates Microsoft has released.
They typically issue updates once or twice a month.
Enjoy your Mac!

Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

Microsoft Word 2010 won't open?

When I try to open my Microsoft Word 2010 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft Word 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.' However, when I go to the control panel Microsoft Word 2010 is no longer listed there. I've never
uninstalled or modified the file so I don't understand how it can just have disappeared??

Was Word loaded as an individual product or part of the Office suite? In other words, do you have Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 and do they open?
If Word was loaded as part of the Office suite then it will not be listed individually in the Control Panel. With
Control Panel > Programs and Features it will show as Microsoft Office <package> 2010.
Either way, it sounds like you need to just get the install CD and reload.
If you are then prompted to Repair you can do it that way, or simply Remove and then Install.
Hope this helps

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs. When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails.
When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from. Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files? It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
Thanks for your help!

How to fix width of plain text content control in Microsoft Word 2010?

I try to make the simplest solution for my custom to modify current Word template without hard code anything except field name.
As you can see above image, normally text field in Word is not fixed width control. So, it may affect document layout. Moreover, I want to add dotted line below all text fields in document template.
Is there any possible solution that end-user can do in normal Microsoft Word 2010 application?
PS. I will fill all controls with data from Microsoft Access.

In PDF file, I can easily create fix-size absolute position field inside document template like the following document. In Microsoft Word, I cannot fix even the size of plain text field.
PS. Nobody use table with fixed cell size as normal form (hard copy). I think Microsoft Word is really bad choice for creating any document template by end-user.
Criticizing Word for not doing the same as some other application is hardly relevant. Have you tried word-processing with Adobe Acrobat?
As for your PS, Word tables are ideal for the kind of thing you describe. Your assertion that 'nobody' does so is plain ignorance - it is a common practice. In my previous employment,
many forms were created using Word tables. Before complaining Word is a 'really bad choice', you should learn how to use it.

Calandar Help For Microsoft Word 2010!

In Microsoft Word 2010 how do I add a calandar that already has every holiday on each month that it's suppossed to be so that I won't have to type or write it on there and how do I save it as a template in Word 2010 so that I can use it every time I need
to and also be able to start with any year and be able to work with one month at a time and then print out the 12 months separately thereby working with each month separately and type in any day of the week and then go to the next month from there and
type on it as well each separate day of the week?
Bryan

Hi,
Do you mean the Calendar template in Word when you click File > New? If so, I'm afraid there is no build-in template which meets the request in Microsoft Word. I've found a template for Excel, but nothing for Word.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/templates/any-year-calendar-with-holidays-TC104014201.aspx
You may need to find some third-party templates to achieve the goal.

Controlling the Navigation Pane from Topic links

I've followed Rick Stone's instructions (in his Skinny on Skins tips file) for controlling the navigation pane from topic links, but I've included the reference to whtbar.js in my Master Page (as I want it to be available to all my topics) instead of in a single topic in my WebHelp output. It works fine, however, I'm experiencing a page flicker whenever I click a link which opens the TOC, Index, Glossary, etc. Does anyone know if this can be avoided?
Thanks
Jonathan

Hi Willam
No your method still works fine thanks (without any page flicker). However, it only opens and closes the navigation pane. What I've been playing around with is the idea of hiding the standard WebHelp toolbar by setting its height to zero in the .SKN and then creating my own toolbar in a Master Page that controls the navigation pane, i.e. with Home, Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary links. That way I have more control over how the toolbar looks and, for example, I can use some script to power drop-down menus, etc. I've been looking at using the Bootstrap framework.
I seems to work okay, apart form the annoying page flicker when I use the links in my custom toolbar.
Oh well, maybe I'm trying to push the boundaries a little too far?!
Thanks anyway,
Jonathan
