I have a computer that is opening everything from the Network as Read-Only in Word.  I went into the Trust Center and allowed network locations to be trusted, and even added the location to the accepted list.  I saw something about, possibly, a Registry Edit.

I have the exact same settings in Excel and do not have this problem.

I am developing a questionnaire for internal use and looking at various methods of doing so.

The question will have various free text entries, some date pickers and most importantly 12 Yes / No questions.

I have currently looked at 3 applications for this questionnaire and each seems to have a downfall with the 12 questions.

InfoPath
This application seems ideal as I can set the Yes / No options such that they can be only Yes / No and I can count the number of Yes answers for an automated decision based on the questions. The decision can then determine the Submission route/email. I can use Validation rules to check entries before submission.
Downfall - no longer provided after Office 2013 but I hear that something similar may be available through SharePoint. Our organisation does not use SharePoint.

MS Word
Format of questionnaire is easy to manage with tables.
I can insert Check Box option buttons but they are not related to each other, ie I can insert two check boxes in a table alongside the question, one each for Yes or No answers but the user can check both. The count of the check boxes has to be done manually to make the routing decision. The Word document has to be saved and emailed manually.

MS Excel
Similar issue with option buttons as MS Word. If I insert option buttons on a sheet, they all become related and I can only select one button. I can get round this by putting the pairs of buttons on separate sheets ie one question …

Since moving to Office 365 I have had very sluggish performance in Excel.  I typicall work in workbooks stored in my one drive folder.
Often, when scrolling through cells with the arrow keys the entire workbook will freeze for several seconds.

I noticed in the File Screen, that I do not show a listing for our One Drive Business ....just a personal one which I do not use.  It also shows 'Loading services' that never changes?   See screenshot.

All shows normally in Word and Powerpoint, so this is just an Excel thing.  I have tried uninistalling and reinstalling Office 365 from the portal, but the problem remains.   I have also tried running both repairs from Control Panel - CHange..... still no different.

How can I correct?

Dear All,
I am new and hope you might help. I use Windos 10 Home and MS Office / Word 2013.

This is the story.
1) I create a Word document on a USB stick
2) I saved the file onto the USB stick.
3) I edited many times the document at different times and in different days but always working on the USB stick.
4) the file was never saved on the hard drive (always edited on the USB stick)

Question:
1) Is there any viable possibility (eg. forensic investigation) that some trace or info of the document (the one that has always been on the USB stick) have been stored in the PC?
2) Should this have happened, where could said traces have been stored (swap files? tmp files? any other location')
3) Could these traces be retrieved somehow (eg. filename or even the contents of the doc file)?

Regards

Hello, whenever I scan a large document using Paperport it has a small window that says "Nuance WIA" and it doesn't allow me to use other programs without jumping to the top. Very irritating when trying to process a word document. I have looked through many settings and can't seem to find a way to remove it. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

In a longstanding Word document, I saw the following after clicking File.


The doc has no macros (if that would make a difference.) Any idea what the XML represents, or how I can find out?

Thanks,
Steve

Since we have upgrade to Office 2013 users can no longer open up a Word document with read/write access when another user has the document opened up in read only mode, specifically if the document contains a password to modify the document.

For instance user #1 opens the Word document they get prompted either to enter password to modify or open in read only mode. They click "Read Only", User #2 tries to open the same document and they get a warning that the document is locked for editing by user #1 even though document is read only.

In testing we've done the same exact thing in Word 2010 with the same document and user #2 gets prompted to enter password to modify and they can enter password and edit the document while user #1 has the document opened in read only.

This happens with all documents that we have set up this way, including those that were specifically created in Word 2013.

Has something changed between Word 2010 and Word 2013 that this functionality no longer exists, or are there additional settings that need to be changed to make it work, Any guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I had to reload a HP ProBook laptop using the recovery partition to "out of the box" status.  Now I've updated all the drivers but there is no wireless network available; all updates have been installed also.  In the device manager Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wifi Adapter shows that it is working properly.  I've turned on the wireless switch on the PC...still no wireless.  Also I've installed Office 2013 and WORD and EXCEL work fine, but when I try to configure Outlook it tells me it's not connected to the network, even though I'm hard wired and can ping google.  Any ideas??

I had this question after viewing Word 2010 - Paste Special - Merge formatting?  How?.

We are trying to get Word to add and display currency properly for our European offices.  While I can get a Euro symbol, to appear, I'm having trouble getting Word to add table cells that contain currency in the European format properly.  That format being that commas are the equivalent of decimal points here in the US.  Does anyone have any advice in properly formatting European currency in Word?

FYI...I have already made the suggestion that they insert an Excel Workbook and perform the calculations there (where it works beautifully!).   We have also tried changing all the Region and Language settings and still have issues.  Thanks in advance!
