OnScreen Keyboard in Word 2003

Hello All
I want to create an OnScreen Keyboard in word 2003. It's very easy in Word 2007 onwards because of Ribbons, but it's very difficult to achieve that in Word 2003.
Is there any alternative of RibbonGallery available in Word 2007 onwards in Word 2003?
How to create a control in Word 2003 as it is available for Outside Borders of table in formatting toolbar?
Is it possible to add combos inside combo control?
I want a Combo for OSKB with 40 combos inside it arranged as it is in Outside Borders control and then each inner combo with 10 controls each.
I have been able to create new toolbar with simple combos but I want to get above mentioned behavior.
Somebody please help.

Hi DharamveerSharma,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
>>Is there any alternative of RibbonGallery available in Word 2007 onwards in Word 2003?<<
As far as I know,
RibbonGallery class is provided by .NET Framework 4.5. I and the VSTO for Office 2003 supports .NET framework 2.0, so I am not able to find an alternative for RibbonGallery.
>>How to create a control in Word 2003 as it is available for Outside Borders of table in formatting toolbar?<<
Can you achieve the goal manually? If not, I think this may be a restriction of control in Office. We also not able to do it programmatically.

Did you want to insert controls in Combo box control? Did you mean the content control in Office? If I understood correctly, no, we can't insert control in Combo box content control.
In addition, since
the support has ended for Office 2003, to help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information, I suggest that you update the Office to the latest version.
Hope it is helpful.

  • Onscreen keyboard - word completion

    maybe i am missing something, but I can't figure out how to use word completion using the onscreen keyboard. the word appears but I don't know how to select it...... maybe I am dumb? i have tried everything. searched the manual and the discussion threads with no luck.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can't expplain the difference because I have always only used it with both on and it works well for me. I start typing a word and as soon as I see the correct completed word appearing, I tap on it to complete. You should also consider using Swype on the N9. It is very good. 

  • Working with the MS Word iPad and other office apps: Onscreen keyboard will not minimize

    With Microsoft's announcement today of allowing limited editing capabilities in their mobile apps, I installed the updates on my iPad.  So far, everything works great...with one exception:  The onboard keyboard will not get out of the way...won't
    minimize.
    I have last year's iPad Air and was trying to use my Bluetooth keyboard with each of the MS Office IOS apps.  Consistently, across all of these apps, the keyboard would stay on the screen and the key for minimizing the keyboard had no affect, even though
    my Bluetooth keyboard was linked and working.  Any other app I use automatically removes the onscreen keyboard when the Bluetooth keyboard is detected.
    This does make the applications difficult and not much fun to use.
    Any thoughts?  Anybody else notice the same issue?
    My office has begun deploying Office 2013/365 and I know we'll have some users on iPads and other tablets, so I'm real interested in correcting this if at all possible.

  • Lenovo control for onscreen keyboard MISSING?!

    Hi,
    Like many others, I am trying to find a way to stop the Windows 8 onscreen keybaord from popping up constantly when I don't need it.
    The best solution others have found seems to be to go to "OnScreen Keyboard (Lenovo Transition)"  under Control Panel. HOWEVER, that item is simply not listed in my control panel. Can anyone help? Where has it gone?
    Thank you

  • Character Direction override in Word 2003 imports

    I've searched for Character Direction and seen mainly mentions of ME and foreign language conversions right to left and left to right. We do not use ME or any foreign language features. The behavior I'm troubleshooting for InDesign CS5 7.0.3 importing Word 2003 docs on a Windows XP macine, is as follows:
    I have hundreds of Word 2003 documents, used in a production environment where editors update text daily or weekly, the production dept. imports into newsletters in InDesign. We go from import to finished product at the printer sometimes as quickly as 15 minutes.
    In CS4, all of these documents import into my publications without overrides, using Microsoft Word Import options set for Customize Style Import, and style mapping used to map Word paragraph styles to ID paragraph styles
    After the CS5 conversion, every one of my Word 2003 documents for all of my publications come in with overrides showing hyphenation settings and character direction that did not appear with CS4. This is despite my mapping styles, and the fact that these options can't even be (as far as I can tell) a paragraph or character override inside Word.
    I went back to CS4 to make sure there were no changes in the Word docs. They worked perfectly, no overrides.
    Inside Word 2003, I had to go to Tools > Language > Hyphenation and make the hyphenation setting in the Word doc match exactly the hyphenation settings for the paragraph style it was being mapped to in InDesign to make it go away at import.
    Now I am left only with the character direction Left To Right override, which I can't figure out how to fix.
    I can't find a way to set this in Word, and I can't find a way (since I don't have ME) to change it in InDesign. It is not practical for me to run a script for every import or continue to reset the overrides manually, because we simply don't have to the time, our deadlines are too tight and frequent. Plus, if we miss one, there are definite consequences, because the data is exported in a variety of formats for reuse automatically via scripts, and the override is messing up my exports.
    I was hoping I'd see a post that says, "Ah yes, the Word filters in CS5 were updated, and now we look for hyphenation and character direction, and here's what you can do as a workaround" but I'm not seeing anything. If I can't define left to right in the regular version of ID or in Word 2003, does anyone have an idea how I can get my import to ignore it again?

    I hate it when I know too much about MS Word.
    I don't have Word accessible right now, but you can set character direction in (the Windows version of) Word. I don't remember the exact details off-hand. Character direction is not the only overrides I've seen make its way in. I've seen some CJK features get imported as overrides as well (by users not using CJK languages).
    It actually depends on your OS and your version of Word, I think. In Word 2007 on Windows 7, you need to have a RTL keyboard installed in order to expose the right-to-left-paragraph and left-to-right-paragraph buttons on the ribbon. I think that Asian scripts are on in all installs of Word 2007, but since our OS has some Asian keyobards turned on by default by Group Policy, I'm unsure of this. In Word 2003 on Windows XP, you need the, oh heck I can't visualise the menu, something like "Enable complex script support for right-to-left languages" in the Region and Language tab in Control Panel.
    For all recent versions of Word, you can check the Fonts window (control-D) to see if you have one, two, or three scripts enabled.
    Font = Latin-script
    Asian text font = CJK
    Complex scripts = Thai/Lao/etc. and Arabic/Farsi/etc.
    Finally: It's possible to have a RTL paragraph in a Word document on the machine of someone who does not have the Complex Scripts dropdown in the Font menu in Word. Likewise, it's possible to have paragraph styles in Word with CJK information on a machine that does not have CJK support turned on in Word (I have seen this numerous times in the Win XP/Office 2003 era).
    So, in terms of the original post - I haven't yet figured out if this is a new feature of CS5, or something about one's install of Word or Windows, but there are so many variables that the only obvious solution to me is "a workflow in which overrides are always cleared." You don't like that solution, I understand, but any other solution would require some extended troubleshooting of the entire workflow, including all installs of Word that might contribute a Word doc to be placed in ID.

  • Word 2003 to PDF conversion -- tables

    When converting MS Word 2003 documents to PDF, some of the lines in tables do not appear properly when viewed onscreen (lines disappear or vary in thickness). Which lines are affected varies by user. Any suggestions?

    Dear All
               I have one MS word file which have near about 2000 pages. In word file, the table of contents (TOC) are working on ctrl+mouse click. But when I convert this file
    in PDF then this TOC is not working properly. I have observe that initial pages near about to 800 are in working condition but other topic in TOC are not click able. Any one know the solution of this problem
    in pdf. If any have the solution then please let me know ASAP.
    Thanks

  • Alt-F9 not captured in Word 2003

    Hi, I'm trying out Captivate 3. I'm new to Captivate, but not
    to authoring, and I took a Captivate course about 6 months ago.
    My problem is that I'm trying to capture a Word 2003
    procedure that includes the keystroke combination Alt-F9 (toggle
    field codes). Captivate appears to freeze when I press that
    keystroke combination. It doesn't capture it, and I can't continue
    - I have to end the recording session to get out of it.
    Alt-F9 is not listed as a Captivate key shortcut. Does anyone
    know what's going on, or have a work-around?
    Thanks!
    Marion

    Thanks MarionJ2, for passing that along to others.
    I would add that the Captivate shortcuts might also ignore
    the Control key (CTRL), so if function-key F9 or any other keyboard
    key is duplicated in the target application in combination with
    either the
    ALT key or the
    CTRL key, you might want to change the Captivate shortcut
    prior to recording.
    Good catch!!

  • Colon and Semi Colon - OnScreen Keyboard

    Is there a way to type a colon or semi colon using the iPad Onscreen Keyboard? If not this seems like a pretty serious oversight

    jinksjohnson wrote:
    The point IS, there is NO colon or semi-colon on the ipad keyboard.
    Can anyone explain why this is?
    I suggest you ask Apple to add this using the feedback channel:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    When you do so, make sure you specify exactly what kind of text fields in what apps you are referring to, because in the places where people do most of their typing (email subject and text, web browsers, and word processors)  there is no problem finding those characters using the 123 key.

  • IdeaPad Yoga Windows 8.1 OnScreen keyboard does not stay open

    hi
    I just bought a new ideapad yoga and upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can't open the onscreen keyboard. After it opens, it immediately closes itself. This problem has also been described here, but wasn't solved:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-tms/ideapad-yoga-13-virtual-keyboard-does...
    Is this a known issue? Does this have anything todo with drivers? - What can I do about it?
    Thank you!

    Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise? 
    I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
    Thanks.

  • Yoga 2-11 Onscreen Keyboard won't stay up when in tablet mode

    I have seen many topics about the onscreen keyboard not staying on when in tablet mode but most of it from 2013. I am having this problem and I cannot find a solution. I have to go to laptop mode to sign in and then go back to tablet mode. The keyboard pops up but as soon as it does it goes away.  What is the fix? Yoga 2-11 purchased Dec 2014 from Best Buy.

    Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

  • Page numbers display as 5 of 1 and 2 of 2121 in a PDF that was created from a Word 2003 document

    We merge several Word 2003 documents into 1 larger document that we then convert to PDF.  The page numbers in the Word document display properly - 1 of 21, 2 of 21, 3 of 21, etc.  We then convert that merged document to PDF by right-clicking the filename and choosing "Convert to Adobe PDF".  For those of us with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.3, the page numbers in the converted PDF file display as 1 of 1, 2 of 1, ... 21 of 1.  Those with Acrobat Professional 8.1.3, they display as 1 of 21, 2 of 2121, 3 of 212121, etc., each page adding another total number of pages to the total.  There is no change in the result if using v8.0.0 or 8.1.4  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Unless you have a specific reason to upgrade to OFFICE 2007, I would not recommend it. I hate it -- have it on two computers. I have had problems creating PDFs reliably from WORD 2007 and PPT 2007, at least with graphics. The conversion seems to want to split graphics up into several parts rather than leave it as one. It does not happen with WORD 2003 and so assume this is some sort of issue with OFFICE 2007. You can get the graphics fine if you use the MS plugin for PDF creation, but then you have to deal with the MS version of a PDF. If you want to try it on one computer in your office, I would do that before you make the change. However, if what you have meets the need, then why change unless there are specific items that you are looking for and don't have.
    OK, that is my opinion. I am sure there are counter arguments. If I had the preference on my newer machines, I would have OFFICE 2003. Bill

  • AIR/Windows 7 Onscreen Keyboard

    Hi
    Any reason why the onscreen keyboard would stop working when a TextInput is being focused?
    * AIR 2.03
    * Flex SDK 3.4
    * j3500 Motion Computing tablet (http://www.motioncomputing.com.au/products/tablet_pc_J35.asp)
    The onscreen keyboard is the default version that comes with windows 7 Professional...The interesting thing is we did not have this issue in the AIR app in the past up until the our latest app update.
    There are no definatley no programmical modifications to the default focus behaviour of any text editable fields or anything that would interrupt the default behaviour of the flash/air integration with the onscreen keyboard and the operating system....it should be transparent AIR/Windows 7 function and totally out of our hands...
    The soft keyboard will still enter text into input fields, however the keyboard needs to be manually opened. The standard behaviour was...when the wacom pen tapped into a text input, a keyboard icon would appear next to the input and open the keyboard over the AIR app, now that does not work..
    We are really at a lose with this issue and need to know which direction to look into. The tablet has all windows and motion computing specific updates applied to it...and can be replicated on other tablets etc..
    We have not tried linux or mac installations troubleshooting because do not have direct access.
    Any ideas much appreciated.

    I am havin the sam eissue as you can tell I have set al setings to fast..and still it skips keys randomly. I have reinstalled drivers and what else can I do? This keyboard came with bundle HP Pavilion s5310f. I need a fix for this issue. I type for a living and this is unacceptble sppeed and tuypps...shew. Any info, help, or new keyboard appreciatd...thisis no working

  • How do I stop the onscreen keyboard from popping up when I click on a text box?

    I have a yoga 2 pro and the onscreen keyboard is irritating. How do I stop it from popping up every time I touch the screen? I am only touching the screen to get to the spot where I want to type--- I don't want the onscreen keyboard.
    Sometimes it obscures the screen so I can't get to the right spot. Usually it disappears when I start typing, but sometimes I'm not even trying to type-- I'm trying to select something and I can't see it any more because the keyboard has popped up. I close the keyboard to get it out of the way, but it pops up when I try to touch the screen again. So I can never get to the spot I want unless I absolutely hit the exact spot on the first try. It happened even while typing this. I wanted to touch a certain spot in the paragraph, but then the onscreen keyboard popped up and I couldn't see the paragraph any more.
    Thanks,

    Did you turn off any of the Lenovo software?
    I closed a random McAfee process via the task manager in an attempt to stop the notification from popping up every ten minutes telling me to restart. 
    I also deleted a lot of the tiles from the colorful windows screen. I think some of them were Lenovo apps. They all seemed to be for some specific purpose though, that I knew I would not use. I have forgotten what they were. I did not delete many-- only a few that I knew right off that I would never use. Could that have affected something?

  • Activating onscreen keyboard while connected to bluetooth keyboard

    Hi,
    I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPad 2 and I was wondering if there was way to activate the onscreen keyboard other then pressing the eject key on the top right of the bluetooth keyboard. Its not a concern when I'm close to the keyboard but when I'm further away and want to type something quick without the bluetooth keyboard it can become a hassle. I don't want to disconnect the keyboard and reconnected it either. Any input would be appreciated.

    I have found another post that talk similar topic.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12847503#12847503
    Looks like the only solution are to either physically turn on/off (the keyboard) or press the eject button on physical keyboard. But when I am at the password screen, swiping up from bottom will not bring up the Control Center to allow me to turn off the bluetooth onscreen. Again I need to open the physical keyboard.
    Probably an easier solution is to simply remember to turn off bluetooth before putting away the devices.

  • Why is my spell checker not working in a document using Word 2003

    I have a word document in Word 2003  .   I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.
    I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work .  Just copied a paragraph still didn't work.  So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red.
    So why not in these few pages of my document.
    This is a paragraph from the pages below.  I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up.  It didn't. 
    The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenant’s faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred
    in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.
    But when I put it in here it does pick them up.  So it is something I have done .

    Hi,
    According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.
