Hi Infowalrus,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are facing the issue with Microsoft Office 2013 on ThinkPad Yoga.
Please check with changing the Screen refresh rate to 60Hz by going to Display properties.
Check with updating the graphic driver.
Check with reinstalling Microsoft Office 2013 on your system.
If the issue still persists after performing above troubleshooting steps then we suggest you to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
Hope this helps.

Powerpoint 2013 - Issues opening presentations from earlier versions

When opening a presentation created in a previous version of powerpoint I get a message saying:
"Powerpoint Found a problem with Content in <document> Powerpoint can attempt to repaire the presentation"
If you click repair you then get a message saying the file couldn't be replaired.
Now this is documented in other threads and the solution is just to open the file properties when it's on your local system and then click "Unblock" at the bottom of the properties box.
This is very annoying especially if you receive multiple presentations daily. Is there any way you can set PP2013 to just open legacy documents?

I guess these pptx files are created by PowerPoint 2010. If so, try to install the following update in the machine with PowerPoint 2010 to avoid the issue happen again.

Another solution is set component security settings back to the defaults:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Open Administrative Tools.
3. Open Component Services and expand the tree under Console Root to
Computers --> My Computer.
4. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
5. Select the Default Properties tab and set the following values:
Default Authentication Level: Connect
Default Impersonation Level: Identify

Thinkpad Yoga cooling fan issue

Hi,
my TPY had been working pretty well for several weeks but last few days I´m experiencing an annoying issue - the cooling fan doesn´t engage when TPY gets hot under load, even when the core gets to 100 degrees Celsius and all the bottom and right side of keyboard and palmrest is really very hot. The cooling fan seems OK, during BIOS update it engaged. There must have been some kind of recent "update" that messed it up. Any advices how to fix it, please?
Thanks, Tomas from Prague
P.S.: I´ve gone through the power management settings - the active cooling set on - no change. In the BIOS there´s no feature to control the cooling fan :/

I had very similar issues with the latest driver; device would disconnect, freeze, interfere with keyboard, display as "disabled" in device manager.
I simply just removed the synaptics driver and use the touchpad as a standard PS/2 device. Vastly improved stability but however you lose two finger scroll and gestures.
I also am looking for a better solution.
(I also disabled the active protection and transition software from lenovo - much better keyboard/touchpad performance and stability).

Thinkpad Yoga 14 stylus' eraser won't work in Onenote 2013

Hey everyone! I purchased the Thinkpad Yoga 14 around mid-July and love it, but I can't use the pen's erase button in Onenote 2013. It wasn't working in Photoshop for a while, either. It works with every other Office program that supports pen input (word, excel, powerpoint, etc.) I did some research, and read a few comments that said Windows 10 fixes the issue with the erase button. I upgraded to Windows 10 today, and while the erase button works in Photoshop now, it still isn't working in Onenote. I'm at a loss here. I can't figure out how to fix this for the life of me, and nothing else I come across online has been helpful. Does anyone know how to fix this??? I use Onenote to thumbnail drawing concepts and comic pages; so, I do a ton of sketching and am using the eraser every few minutes. Not having access to a quick erase button is really frustrating.

As a (hopefully) final twist to the tale, Win 10 has now installed Conexant specific drivers in place of the Microsoft HD Audio ones. Looking at the event history the new drivers "outrank" the generic ones. The Conexant drivers are signed by Microsoft, not Conexant. Crucially, the microphone remains in place after this latest update.

Thinkpad Yoga - ghosting / after-image / watermark issue

Admin Note: This thread has been reorganized for escalation purpose - using ajpot's info for escalation since he was the first to respond to my request of collecting information.
I've got the ghosting issue on my yoga as well. It was OK for the first few weeks (no noticeable ghosting at all) but now it only takes around a minute of having something on screen for ghosting to appear when switching to something else.
I'm in the process of sending my yoga in for repair as I'm experiencing some other issues, so I've asked them to repair the screen as well. From what I've read, it's likely they won't be able to fix it (in which case I'll be asking for a refund) but I'll see how it goes.
Machine: ThinKPad Yoga
Machine Type Model: 20CD-CT01WW
Date manufactured: 3rd December 2013

As amirvf mentioned this is a common issue and there is an active discussion about it over at http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/731068-lenovo-thinkpad-yoga.html Here is a quick recap:TPY uses a 12.5" LG Philips panel that has really, REALLY bad case of image retention (ghosting)The ghosting is not permanent and is actually specific to the way LCD panels work and present on all panels, but usually it's so minor that it is not noticeable to the naked eye. In case of those LG Philips panels, however, the effect is VERY noticeable.Lenovo has a page explaining the general issue: http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/detail.page?DocID=HT051485The easiest way to check for this is via http://www.marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html (this is a test that was made for MBPro that had ghosting issues, but it works great for testing TPY too)The same panel is used in Dell XPS 12 and there is a long thread on Dell forums complaining about the issue: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19497269.aspxThe problem is inherent to the process/chemistry used in the panels and cannot be solved via software/driver update. (Although some support representatives will direct you to partial solutions that flash different colors and can alleviate the issue but only marginally). To fix this issue panel manufacturer (LG Philips) would have to modify it's tech process and a replacement panel would have to be installed.The bad news are that currently there is no solution (AFAIK). They can swap your panels to your heart's delight, but currently there are not panels available that do not exhibit the issue (You should note, however, that the issue is usually less pronounced on a new panel and is gradually amplified over a course of first several weeks, so if you have on-site support and if you/Lenovo are willing, you could theoretically swap your panels every two weeks or so to approximate a real solution). Also note that the market for 12.5" panels is relatively small and there is no real competition, so there is no strong incentive for LG Philips to fix anything (XPS 12 has been suffering from this for over a year now, even through a model refresh)The good news are that Dell has finally acknowledged the issue and are saying that LG Philips has fixed the panels and new batch is coming around February, plus some people have reported that their newly bought XPS 12 does not exhibit ghosting. So, assuming this is indeed so, new panels should trickle down to TPY owners too sometimes. I'd love to see an official acknowledgement/response from Mark on this...

Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
I installed almost all of the drivers available on http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
Any help please?
Thank you.

Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
Any help please:
This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

Powerpoint 2013 - Insert chart issue

Here's a strange one -
User is admin on their PC. When user runs Powerpoint 2013 (Office Standard), and attempts to insert a chart of any kind, it will not. No error is displayed at all. It seems to think a second, then goes back to the chart selection screen. The same symptom
appears with Word 2013 as well. Excel seems to be fine.
Logged in as domain administrator, it all works fine.
Now...what's the deal here?

It seems to be a permission issue (e.g. to access certain registry entry).
Try use the
Process Monitor to capture what happened when the users trying to insert the chart.
Especially for the Access Denied event.
And give the users proper permission to access the corresponding items.

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.
Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.

ThinkPad Yoga won't connect to external display

I just received a ThinkPad Yoga and have not been able to get output to external display.
I am using mini hdmi to display port.
Lenovo tech support was completely useless.
Does anyone have experience with this issue?
Thanks

First, try resetting the parameter RAM:
Hold down keys CMD-Option-p-r on startup until you hear the second chime.

PowerPoint 2013 - We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable

Windows 7 running Office 2013. Mature installation no recent changes.
Simple update to ppt file created in 2003 ( using Compatibility mode). Single user edit saving to my documents
Error Message "We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable" / "Please save your presentations and restart PowerPoint"
PowerPoint no longer allows me to save any file in any format without this message.
Actions taken : Restart PowerPoint / Reboots / Deletion of temporary files from C:/Windows/Temp
Problem persists

I had this problem with Win81, PowerPoint 2013, pptx file, no system/software changes or updates that could be blamed. Out of the blue working on an existing document, messages as OP wrote started plaguing PPT. Brand new pptx files created with benign random
text also suffered from this. A save or two within the first 30 seconds of opening or creating the file sometimes went ok, but problem appears inevitably - implicating file lock issue.
There is remarkably little commonality in resolutions of this on the web, and no resolution from MS.
Tried many of the suggestions that can be found - no joy.
Finally isolated this to the live sync on DropBox. If DropBox is active (immediately syncing changes in the background), the problem persists. If DropBox is paused, the problem ceases. DropBox does not need to be removed or exited. If unpaused, problem
immediately starts again. Have not been able to check if other syncing cloud drives have same effect.
What's disturbing is that the DropBox/PowerPoint combination on this machine has been working fine for 1+ years. Turning off DropBox is not an acceptable solution. Perhaps a silent update of one or the other occurred to cause this.

PowerPoint 2013: New problem experienced in last seven days - Placeholders not taking objects Cut from them and attempted to re re-anchored.

Hello,
I am running Office 2013 Professional Plus and in PowerPoint 2013 (15.0.4605.1000 64 bit) on Windows 8.
Ihave always been able to anchor content to placeholders (tables, text, images, and so on). In the last week this is no longer the case if an object has been anchored already.
For example, I have an existing slide with a Content placeholder, and a table anchored to it. I cut the table, reselect my placeholder to get the white handles, and attempt to paste. It will paste the table as it was, but it is no longer anchorable to a
placeholder.
This is a critical issue for us as we are about to upgrade our corporate brand/template and be required to upgrade thousands of documents and hundreds of thousands of pages of content.
Can anyone advise a workaround? This is my first post on MDN and apologize for any missing elements.
Anthony

Thinkpad Yoga microphone not working

I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input. Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/.

Thinkpad yoga 11e does not run working vbscript

I'm using the Thinkpad to run the sample script ListAll.vbs provided by Lenovo. The script works fine on other models but when I try to run it on the Yoga 11e the return is an equal sign only. I looked at the documantation and it list the Yoga as compatiable so what could cause this issue?

I have double-checked my ThinkPad Yoga 11e here, and it is working correctly. My system originally had BIOS 1.15, which worked. Then, to double-check, I updated to the latest BIOS 1.16 which also worked.
Please double-check that you are using the correct scripts here: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
"cscript.exe ListAll.vbs"
If you're still having problems, then I suspect something is wrong with your OS image, or some other software you have installed is interfering somehow.

ThinkPad Yoga - BitLocker- / TPM-problem

Hi everybody,
I got a very strange problem which I was unable to solve yet:
My ThinkPad Yoga won't work with BitLocker.
After initiation of the "BitLocker system test", it boots to the blue "BitLocker screen" - still, the PIN which was set before is not accepted. After cancellation of the test, Windows 8 (Windows 8.1 Update 1) states that the test failed, because the TPM could not be written.
While doing some troubleshooting, I recognized that BIOS states the TPM being in "MFG Mode" (= manufacturing mode?); this might be caused by a motherboard change done by the Lenovo service approx. 1 month ago.
My question is:
Does anybody know how to make the TPM leave "MFG mode" or any other solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
David

THINKPAD YOGA TOP SCREEN CORNER YELLOWING

Hello,
I have seen thinkpad yogas that are coming up to 1 year old have identical screen yellow / orange blotches in the corner top of the screens.
Seeing as these machines have *just* left warranty what is going on?

Good day.
If it were my machine, I wouldn't wait. I'd call Service immediately.
