Word 2013 English Proof Reading Tool

To Whom it May Concern,
I am using Word of Office 365 to type English document, it does not show proof reading alert.
I clicked into the Word Options and checked the Language, and I found that 'English' proofing tool is 'not installed.'
I clicked the provided link and downloaded the English proofing tool, closed the Word and reopen it, no changes at all.
Then I read the 'English Proofing Tools suddenly missing and WON'T install-Office 2013' in your website. I followed the advice given by your staff. I quote the instruction provided by your staff as follows:-
"Click on Start > Control Panel > Control Panel > double-click Programs and Features > Click Microsoft Office 2010 Edition >
click Change > In the Microsoft Office Edition dialog
box > click Add or Remove Features > Continue > Expand Office Shared Features > click the icon to the left of Proofing Tools > then click Run all from My Computer > Continue."
It worked yesterday BUT today when i want to open a word document, it is opened in Word 2010 but not Word of Office 365. When I open the Word of Office 365, no English proofing tool. I did the whole thing once again this morning but it
does not work.
Please do not ask me to goto other forum and please do not ask me to read the 'Plan for Multilanguage Deployment of Office 2013' I have done it and cannot resolve the problem, please give me advice.

Jonathan Ng

I have the same issue and run both 365 and Word 2010. On another computer this works fine

Whenever I open MS Office Word 2013, then Adobe Reader 11.0.09 crashes! How to fix it?

I recently started using windows 8 and I noticed that if I'm working on a Word document and I try to open a PDF file, Adobe will crash and then I won't be able to open other PDFs. It's the first time I notice this issue but it's really important to open both programs (adobe and MS word) at the same time. Do you know how to fis this?

Hi Diana710,
Is it happening with all the PDF files?
Is the word file and the PDF file located in the same folder?
What happens when you already have Adobe Reader opened and try to launch a word file?
Try repairing Adobe Reader and check.

Word 2013 - Work with Master Documents very slow

Hello,
we changed from Office 2003 to Office 2013.
A user who creates many documentations by using master documents informed me, that he cannot work longer by using Word 2013, because extending master documents or refreshing table of contents takes long time.
In Word 2003 it takes few seconds, in Word 2013 in takes some minutes!
How can I improve this?

The Master Documents "Feature" in Word has long been broken. It remains broken in Word 2013 AFAIK. Read the linked article. There are alternatives. One of the easiest ways to lose
tremendous amounts of work is to edit documents in Master Documents form. That you have used it this long without losing work is a minor miracle.

Word 2013 generates .docx files that cannot be read on Word 2010

Howdy,
I received a MS Word document that was created on Word for Mac 2011. I opened it, edited it and saved it in .docx format. I have MS Word 2013 running on a humble PC.
Now the Mac cannot read my file. Also, PC's running Word 2010 cannot read the file.
However, many different machines running Word 2013 can open the file, Google Docs can open the file, Word in the Cloud can open the file, open office can open the file and even Word 2003 with the compatibility pack can open and edit the file.
Mac's give an error message that essentially says "xml format incorrect". PCs simply say the file format is wrong. No other details. Various compatibility checks inside word say that everything is compatible with prior versions
of Word with the exception of my equations which it says will be converted to .gifs if viewed in word 2003.
Any idea what is going on? Supposedly, Word 2007, 2010 and 2013 all use the same xml formats, so its a bit of a mystery why 2010 (and 2011 on the Mac) cannot open a standard format .xml file that was created by 2013.
The file contains text, figures and equations. Nothing else. No macros, no VBA code.
Thoughts or advice?

Hi,
What is the file's original extension? .doc?
If you saved the file in .docx format by changing the extension directly, the issue may occur, please make sure you saved it by "Save as". Or we can rename the file from ".docx" to the original extension, check if the issue
persists.
If it's not your scenario above, we can also try to "repair" the file in Word 2010:
Open Word 2010, Click File -> Open -> Browse to the file and use "Open and Repair" to open the file.
If the suggestions above don't help, please provide the exact error message that you get in Word 2010 so that I can perform further research.

My Bookmarks Created in Word 2013 Dont Display in Microsoft Reader

I created some bookmarks in my Word 2013 file and I saved it as a pdf. I re-opened the file and when i open the Bookmark diaglog box my bookmarks show in the list. When I select one and click 'go to' it navigates to the book mark.
However when i open the pdf in Microsoft Reader, I dont see the bookmarks. I right clicked the document, selected more options and the only options that show are rotate and info.
Why can't I access the bookmarks in the reader?

Hello again,
After working on my problematic document some more, I believe I’ve found the cause of the issue.
@Microsofties – I think this one is either a bug or a dodgy OOTB template…
I noticed that the high CPU usage only seemed to occur when the document’s footer was displayed. Experimenting with some careful scrolling and zooming to hide footer (without actually using the “hide white-space” option) seemed to confirm this so I investigated
the footer a bit more.
My document was using the standard Word “Facet (Odd Page)” footer template with a couple of fields added to suit my needs, namely “Publish Date” and a page number.
The template seems to be structured such that the content of the footer is inside two nested text boxes (one inside the other). I also noticed previously that this footer template also appears to “jump” up each page and back down again as I scrolled.
So I deleted the footer and its text boxes, and recreated the same content, in the same position (using the standard paragraph alignment tools) by hand without the nested text boxes. This has, so far, fixed the issue!
I also noticed that the CPU usage dropped right down to idle the moment I deleted the nested text boxes.
Altogether, this leads me to conclude that the “Facet (Odd Page)” footer template in Word 2013 is the source of my issue. Specifically, I believe that the use of nested text boxes in this template causes Word’s interactions with the .Net 4.5 WPF to go a
bit nuts, as evidenced by the infinite loop of request for the non-existent “Avalon.Graphics” WPF registry key I mentioned previously.
It would be nice to see some feedback on this one, Microsoft people, if only to know if this is actually a general issue or is specific to my document!
Thanks, Chris

Equation not showing properly in word 2013

Hello,
I have a problem with my MS Word 2013. It seems that when i want to use the equation, under the design ribbon at the equation tools, there's few options for the structures (eg: fractions, script etc.). If you can see there's drop down button for each of
the options. For instance if you click the fraction drop down, it will have a few kind of fraction to choose but in my case when i click the drop down button, nothing is shown. The slot for each type is there but it does not show the picture so it is hard
for me to use it. But when I use MS PowerPoint 2013, it seems to be working. It is really weird.
I tried a few things to solve this but nothing solve this problem for me. Here are a few things that I already tried:
Repair MS Office 2013 in the installation setup
Uninstall MS Office 2013 and re-install
Install Office Compatibility Pack
None of the above solve the problem. Can anybody help me solve this please? I have no idea what to do anymore.
See attached picture to see what I explained about and understand my problem better.

Hi,
If the Building Blocks template file that comes with Microsoft Word is corrupt, it may cause Equations to not work correctly. To resolve this problem, move the damaged copy of the Building Blocks template out of the user data folder. After you do this,
Word creates a new Building Blocks template by using the default content.
To do this, please follow:
1. Exit all Office programs.
2. Open the file explorer and navigate to:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\15
Note: 1033 is the locale identification (LCID) number for English U.S version of Microsoft Office. For a list of locale ID numbers, see
Locale identification numbers for language-specific files.
3. Rename the Built-In Building Blocks.dotx
file to Built-In Building Blocks.old.
4. Then, navigate to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Document Parts\1033\15
5. Rename the Built-In Building Blocks.dotx file to
Built-In Building Blocks.old.
6. Close both folders.
7. Now, click Start, click Run, type
appwiz.cpl, and the click OK.
8. In the Currently installed programs list, right-click the version of the Office that is installed on the computer, click
Change, click Repair, and then click Continue.
9. Restart Word to check the result.

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the

Problem with Word 2013 through VPN

Hello,
From several weeks my company has a problem
with Word 2013 when laptop is connected to the network
via VPN.
Symptoms:
- Word 2013 is opening very slow (even
opening a blank card)
- there are no matter if I try to open blank page or network files
- All other Office 2013 components are working fine (Excel, Powerpoint etc).
- When I disconnect from a VPN, Word is opening properly.
It is not a problem with VPN because:
- Word is opening locally (not network files)
- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly
Does anyone know a similar case
and could help solve this problem?
Regards,
Pawel

Hi,
"- before we had Word 2010 and it was working smoothly" -
Word 2013 might deal with documents in different ways.
Since Word will open properly when you disconnect from a VPN, you might want to start by analyzing the network traffic, VPN connections.
Please try to check the option "Copy remotely stored files onto your computer and update the remote file when saving" in
FILE>Options>Advanced>Save section, and then verify result.
The other thing to check is add-ins. I'd suggest you to start Word in safe mode and see if issue persists:
Press Win + R and type "winword /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.

Any ideas?

Hi,
So it's a 32-bit version of Office which is running on a 32-bit version of Windows, try to omit

It's a 3rd party control, there is no way for us to understand how exactly it works. I'd suggest you contact the vendor support of that control for further assistance.

Frozen out menu ribbon in Word 2013 and cannot preview word documents in Outlook 2013

I seem to be having a recurring problem with Word 2013 from Office Home Edition single user. When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire document page layout changes from portrait to something close to landscape and then the entire menu ribbon freezes
out. I usually have to save the file, close and reopen using the open and repair feature as the document only opens in read only after this incidence happens. Since the first time I experienced this in early July, I haven't been able to preview Word files
in office outlook 2013 and the protected mode feature hasn't worked since then either.
Can I get some help with this please? I reinstalled, did online fixing and tried a few other fixes to no avail. Could it have started as a result of my installing a trial version of Office Visio which comes as a totally different package from my Home edition?
Thank you

Is this the only action that will result in the issue? Does this happen to any Word documents?
The first thing that I'd suggest you to do is to install any available updates to your system and Office installation, and then verify result.
Then, please check if you have any add-ins integrated with your Word 2013 (please note that some programs might install add-ins automatically), try in safe mode and see if issue was caused by some add-in conflicts:

Word 2013/64bit Installed on Windows 8.1 pro 64bit

Hi everyone,
1. Error:
When I open Microsoft Word 2013 I get the window “Microsoft Visual
Basic for Applications”
Compile error in hidden module: NotOE.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click “Help” for information on how correct this error.
After I click OK the window is gone.
2. Error:
When I open a new blank document another window pops up : “Microsoft Word” … The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your Macro security settings.
I click Ok and the word is working fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mario

Hi Mario,
Please try to start Word 2013 in safe mode and see if issue persists: Press Win + R and type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
"Compile error in hidden module: NotOE" -
I'm not sure what exactly "NotOE" is, but it usually indicate a third party add-in, you might want to have a check.
Also, please browser to Word Startup folder and see if you have any similar .dot/.xla add-in template files. If yes, try to delete them, then verify result. The path of Word Startup folder can be found by going to FILE>Options>Advanced tab>click
File Locations... button under General section.
Hope this helps.

There is not GUI error message. Office was freshly installed. In the event log there are only the normal messages from Security-SPP. Are there other source of logging that could hint in the proper direction?

Hi,
Since the issue isn't related to Add-ins, please perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Word:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.
2. Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click

OPM 10.4.4 not working with Word 2013 (toolbar will not stay on document)!!!!

I recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2013 and then was forced to upgrade to OPM 10.4.4 in order for Word 2013 to recognize the OPM Toolbar. The toolbar in the WORD document does not last (or stay) after closing the document. Additionally, the TEXT within the document is not present. If I open the document in Windows explorer, you can see all of the text, but without the OPM toolbar. We have tried everything to get the toolbar onto the word document and to display the contents within the document. OPM must recognize the word document at some base level because it is able to complile and build/run the rulebase. By the way, this occurs within every rule document and every rulebase within WORD 2013. The BI-Pulisher Add-Ins toolbar also had the same problem when trying to add that into Word 2013, but did manage to get it to stay, but it seems limited from the nice presentation that occurs in 2010 Word documents. Basically, I believe Word 2013 has issues with OPM specifically and maybe BI-Publisher.

See OPM 10.4.4 User Guide article Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates: http://docs.oracle.com/html/E48373_01/toc.htm#Projects and files/Update_OPM_templates.htm
Open the project in OPM, but leave all the rule documents closed. From within OPM 10.4.4, go to Tools > Update Oracle Policy Modeling Templates.
The field "Folder containing documents to update" will usually already display the folder path for the Development folder of the project. If it doesn't, browse to it. If you've got your OPA project in the regular default location, it will be something like this: C:\projects\(your project name)\Development If you've put your OPA project in a different location on your machine, then browse to wherever you put it.
Leave 'Include sub-folders' and 'Update document styles from template' checked. Click Next, Next, etc. until it's done, then 'Finish'.

Word 2013 from PDF issues

Can't edit the docx and it goes from being a 3.2 meg pdf file to a 32 meg docx.
Any ideas?
I can convert using online programs ,no issue.
What's the point of having a pdf converter if I can't edit the document?
PGM554

Hi,
According to your description, I have some confused about the "3.2 meg pdf file and 32 meg docx". Which you do mean about the "MEG"? Which way do you use to convert the PDF to DOXC file?
As far as I know, we can convert a PDF into a Word document and edit the content in Word 2013:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/edit-pdf-content-in-word-HA102903948.aspx
On the other hand, we also can use the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools that included in Office 2013 to read/edit the PDF content. It is no longer standalone and has been moved into OneNote and to a lesser degree Word.
You can paste images into OneNote then right click and select "Copy Text" into the clipboard. You can then paste it where required. It strips out formatting.

Word 2013 crashing opening Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document

Hi
I am having a major problem with a large number of Word docs which have been copied to my file server. The docs are in Microsoft Word 97 – 2003 format and open fine with Office 2007. I recently rolled out Office 2013 to a department. When they try and open
these docs by double clicking the file, the Word splash screen with status "Starting..." opens with animated dots but stays in this state. I have left this for over 10 minutes but it doesn’t open. I end up having to close the splash screen using
the top right corner cross but if I check in task manager the task remains eating up 25-30% of the CPU - I have to kill the task from here. I have tested this locally and in RDS where majority of users work from hosted office sessions and the problem is evident
in both. The major problem is that RDS server CPU can reach 100% if a couple of users run into the problem.
Going back to the issue. If I open up a blank instance of Word 2013 first and go File - Open and browse to the file, if I choose “Open and Repair” the file opens with “Errors detected”:
"Drawn Objects and Text Boxes 1"
If I select "go to" it goes to the Footer/headers - There is nothing in the header/footer that looks like it is causing an issue. If I now save the file either as 2003 or docx and close, the next time I try and open (double click) the file opens
in compatibility mode or normal mode no problem. It seems strange Word is not able to automatically open/detect and repair anything it doesn’t like.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can work around this?
Thanks

Hi,
Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
expecially for those heavily formatted files.
We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.
