Word 2010 Template Saving issues

When I save my new templates, they do not appear in the "My Templates" folder. What is the path for this folder? I can find the template in Recently created, but never in My Templates. I don't see a way to set the template path in the options
section either.
Any help would be appreciated.
The path of the folder is (on my Windows 7 machine):-
C:\Users\user_name\Documents
The above is also known as the Libraries / Documents folder.

New Keyboard Shortcuts in Word 2010 NOT SAVING

I am unable to save new keyboard shortcuts to Word 2010. The ones that come with the program work like CTRL B for bold, etc., but when I try to create new ones, they'll work while I'm in Word, but when I try to close it for the day, it tells me that
there is a copy already open and it doesn't allow me to save to the Normal template. When I try to save to a different template, the keyboard shortcuts I created do not work. There has GOT to be a patch or workaround for this. I am working
on a small network, fyi. Thanks so much.

Hi,
I have noticed that you have replied in a similar thread. Do you have the third party programs which mentioned there?
And then based on my test, please try the following steps:
Exit Word 2010> Rename the Normal.dot (Path: C:\Users\uesrname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) >Restart Word.
Create the new keyboard shortcuts ,assign to the command and choose Normal to save.
If it still not works, please give me the whole error message during your saving.

Acrobat XI Pro and MS Word 2010 file conversion issues

I have created a photo journal comprised primarily of photo collages and text boxes using Microsoft Word 2010. Acrobat XI Pro is installed as well. When I "Save as Adobe PDF" the resulting PDF is missing many - not all - of the text boxes placed on top of the photos, and the some of the photos themselves are "reordered" - the one placed on top moves to the back. What might be causing this?
If I select "Save As" and then select the "PDF" option from Word's dropdown menu, the resulting PDF - which is much smaller than the one created by the "Save the Adobe PDF" option - retains all the data in the Word file, in the correct order.
Note - this did not happen when I was using Acrobat X Pro. And this file I am currently working with converted perfectly to an Adobe PDF when I was still using Acrobat X Pro.

Hi,
Can you please share your test file because the issue you mention here seems to be file specific?

How can I save a Theme in a Word 2010 Template?

Hi Guys
I'm creating corporate templates for an organisation with users all over the world, not networked and sometimes in very hostile environments. I therefore need to encapsulate as much as possible into a template Word 2010+.
I'm good for most things, other than the Theme. Can I embed a theme (and mandate it) in a template?
Cheers
Julian
P.S. Any good sources for learning more about this sort of stuff?

Themes are separate files from templates and I do not believe they will do what you want; I think what you want is a set of Styles in the QuickStyle Set that you mandate. I know this can be done. I've never done it.

Modified date changes in Word 2010 without saving.

Some files (made in Word 2k) I open and get asked if I want to update the links. I answer no. When closing the file the modified date is set to today. After turning off "update links" in the settings, I am not asked anything but still the modified
date is changed. This is a very undesired behavior. I would even consider it a
bug .

The real issue is that it does not seem to be possible to stop Word from "updating" links to spreadsheets. While it does not actually update the link if the option to update automatic links on open is unchecked, after opening a document containing
a link to a spreadsheet and then attempting to close it without doing anything else, you will be asked if you want to save the changes to the document.
-- Hope this helps.

I am not interested in the internal bookkeeping of Word. If I open a file to just read it, Word should not mess with the saved date under any circumstances.
Hi victor,
I understand well enough that you don't have any date-type fields in your document. My suggestion for using the SAVEDATE field was simply to obtain from Word it's interpretation of when the file was last saved.
I fully agree that Word should not change the system 'modified' date if the file hasn't been changed. However, any such change is done by your system,
not by Word itself. So, what OS are you using? Is it part of a network? Does your Word file include any macros? If so, have you checked whether any of those macros include code to save the file?

Microsoft Word 2010 is saving filenames with the full path as the filename.

Good Afternoon,
When opening a file from a synology cloudstation, after I work on the file and select save, the file name changes to include the computer name. For example if the file was opened from "Favorites\Couldstation\My Documents" and was called "Consoto
version1", when I click save, the filename now shows as " Consoto Version 1_Mycomputer-PC_AUG-06-1203-2014_Conflict.docx" (Mycomputer is the generic name of the computer on the domain, Italics was
what was added)
Any way I can turn this off? I am thinking it is part of an Autosave feature.

Hi,
Do you have the same issue when use Office 2010 on your local disk?
I think it's an issue/feature of Synology Cloud Station, not an Office issue. I have seen user reproted the same issue in Synology Cloud Station site, I'd suggest you to seek assistance from their official support site.

Custom Property in Microsoft Word 2010 Document Template and Sharepoint 2010 Content Type not Syncing up

I wrote a macro in a Word 2010 template with a custom property called HeaderFooter (a Yes/No value). When the property is changed to No, the header and footer are hidden, otherwise, the header and footer are displayed.
I added the template to a SharePoint 2010 Document library, with a content type DocInformation and a column name HeaderFooterOffOn that I want to map to the custom property HeaderFooter in the Word Document.
The macro isn't working in SharePoint, though, because when the user clicks on the HeaderFooterOffOn in the DIP of the Word Document, the Word Custom Property (HeaderFooter) isn't changing with it.
How do I get these two synced up, so that when the SharePoint column is changed, the Word Document's custom property simultaneously updates with it?

Hi kevinkevinc,
There is no direct way to run macro in SharePoint
As a workaround, I suggest you use SharePoint Event Receiver to run some custom code when column changed.

How to change the default left alignment setting in Word 2010 professional (personal use)

Hi, I use Word 2010 Professional for my personal use at home, and somehow the default setting for the left alignment in a new Word document has been changed to a hanging indent at .25. So every time I open a new Word document, the left margin
has an indent setting. I have to change it to 0.0 every time, which is annoying.
I've tried to go into the "Options" section, under "Custom Settings" to de-select an auto left margin indentation, but I can't seem to find an option to do that. Can anyone please tell me how to change this setting in the master Word 2010 template,
so that every time I open a new doc, the left side is aligned at the 1" margin with no hanging indent?
Thank you.

Word 2010 Copy Rich Text Content Control

I am working on a Word 2010 template that links to another word document to copy information from Rich Text Content Controls. I am able to copy values between RTF controls but losing the rich text formatting - only text is copied over.
Any Suggestions on how to copy between rich text controls and still preserve the formatting?
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
For Each editCC In editCCs
If appendText Then
'editCC.Range.Text = editCC.Range.Text & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = editCC.Range & vbCrLf & sourceCC.Range
Else
'editCC.Range.Text = sourceCC.Range.Text
editCC.Range = sourceCC.Range
End If
Next
End If
Next
End If
Thanks in advance

Try something along the lines of:
Set sourceCCs = sourceDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(sourceCCTag)
If Not (IsNull(sourceCCs)) Then
    For Each sourceCC In sourceCCs
      Set editCCs = editDoc.SelectContentControlsByTag(editCCTag)
      If Not (IsNull(editCCs)) Then
        For Each editCC In editCCs
          With editCC.Range
            If appendText Then
              .InsertAfter vbCr
              .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
            End If
            .FormattedText = sourceCC.Range.FormattedText
          End With
        Next
      End If
    Next

Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

Hi,
My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Sylvain.

, I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
on the Desktop. I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver.
This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
makes the file Read Only.

Graphic issues in Word 2010 and 2013

The problem is it reformats your original image to fall within this shape below. Everything within that triangle is white and your original image only shows through the remaining part of the oval. I have attached a Word document with a few examples. It cuts
off part of the logo, signatures, etc.
So far, we have found this occurring in 2 situations:
1. .docx is generated in third party application. We open this in Word 2003 and save as .doc. Then if that .doc is then opened by someone else using Word 2010 or 2013, it has this issue.
2. The other situation was just a .doc created (outside of the third party application) that is used as a VBA component. If they open that .doc in Word 2013 it has this issue but other .doc files are fine.
One other note, we can open these files in Word 2003 and 2007 and the images look fine. It only happens when opening in Word 2010 or 2013.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? I have tested both .tif & .jpg to see if the original image format made a difference and it doesn’t appear to. Unfortunately, it’s impacting tens of thousands of Word docs stored in archive.
I don't see where I could upload a file, but I do have example documents.
Thanks,
Dawn

Hi Dawn:
After testing from myside, I found if you
change the picture format, it will fix the display issue. You can
manually changing the format of the Graphic: select the graphic->select format tab on the Ribbon->change to any format you want. You can also
use VBA code to change the format of the picture, for detailed information you can refer to
This article.
Below are some findings for your reference.
I checked the documents you sent to me, as the issue occurred when if the file saved as .docx or opened with word 2010/2013, so I zipped the file and compared the xml files, I found something
might be the cause of this issue.
The pictures in media folder were all fine no missing parts even for those ones displayed wrongly in Word.
I compared the document.xml file under ….\Graphic issue\Issue.docx\word(where I stored the zip file), I found the documents.xml of issue.docx file has section called <a:custGeom>………
</a:custGeom>, which contains data like below, maybe it’s inherited from the design tool, somehow, change formatting can get rid of the custGeom. So we suggest you change the format of
the picture.

Issue with Word 2010

Hi Team,
We are facing issue with Word 2010.
User has created a document in Word 2007 and they inserted a symbol °C in Times New Roman and Areal.
Please find below the text which has issue.
干燥温度：60℃
温度：95℃，
In the document, instead of ℃ it is showing blocks, when we open it in MS Word 2010. (Eg: 60℃, 95℃).
We have tried the following.
1.       If we select the square and click on any other font, it will change to °C with formatted font Cambria Math. We can have it by selecting any font.
2.       I have tried to copy the line and paste it to excel/WordPad/notepad
• Excel(2010) : It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Times New Roman and Arial as the word document has Times New Roman and Arial respectively.
• Notepad: It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Lucida Console
• WordPad: The symbol is not displayed correctly (Squares and vertical lines). It is having the same issue as we have with word document.
3.       I just selected the whole text and had Ctrl+space , then all the corrupted characters turned to original one (°C with formatted font Cambria Math) : we can use this as a work around.
4.       I have created a word document and I typed °C in that document with fonts Times New Roman ,Arial, SimSun and STKaiti and saved the document. When I opened the document I was able to see °C properly.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Sooraj

Hi Sooraj:
For checking the encoding of your documents, please follow below steps:
Rename your documents from xxxx.docx to xxxx.zip
The zip folder will contains basically folders: rels, docProps, word and one [Content_Types].xml
Browse to word, open document.xml file,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>,
the first line will suggest the encoding type of the document.
Except checking the encoding difference, could you please do one more thing that is copying the font like
“Times New Roman” from a computer which display the symbol correctly to the computer which has issue, and please let me know the results, thank you.

Word 2010 custom template order

Hello,
I have managed to create and deploy a set of custom Word templates but I am having trouble setting the order of the templates. I have created the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Providers but the order of the
templates is seemingly governed by the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Spotlight\Content key.
What I want to be able to do is display the templates in alphabetical order by template name. This must be possible but I'm struggling with this.
Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi,
If you want to display the templates in alphabetical in Word 2010, based on my tested in my environment, I found the issue is related to order of the templates in config.xml.
We may try to make the "featuredtemplate title" in alphabetical order.
o:featuredtemplate title="Template 1"
For more detailed information and steps, please refer to the following links:

Network files not showing when saving a document in Word 2010

I have some users setup where their local profile on their laptop syncs with our server so they can take the laptop home, work on files, bring it back to work and have it sync with files and folders when they get back.
One user is able to open a document in her "My Documents" folder (which syncs with the network drive). She's able to edit the document however when she goes to save the document to the same folder, she doesn't see all of the files that are
supposed to be in there. If she just saves the file anyway and goes to her documents folder via Windows Explorer, she can see the file she saved as well as the other files.
I'm not sure why it's happening but it seems to only happen when she saves a file in Word.
The affected user is running Windows 7 64-Bit with Word 2010.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
What are the other files' types in that location?
Suppose the user is trying to save a .docx file in that folder, she should only be seeing the same type of files as the type she's saving.
You can have the user try to change the "Save as type" and check if she's able to see other files.

Windows 7 Word 2010 with EPS A4 Acrobat X Pro Paper Size Issue

I'm running into the following issue trying to create a PDF.
Word 2010 A4 page size. Document has some Illustrator EPS images used in it.
When I go to make the PDF using Acrobat from the top menu and then Create PDF, the page size of the PDF is A4, but the color is the low res bit map preview look. Not acceptable color, all colors converted to CMYK, but the EPS files have incorrect color values.
When I use File Print Acrobat PDF, the color is correct, but it reduces the pages to 8-1/2 x 11. Every setting I can find is calling for a A4 page size. This way the colors are left as the original files CMYK + Pantone colors.
I spent 2-1/2 hours with Adobe on this and they had no solution.
We have tried different Default Settings and no difference.
The Adobe PDF Page Size: is A4.
If we make the page size A3 then it generates a A3 size PDF.
When I was running XP with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro I didn't run in to this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Anyone have any ideas?
