User has Microsoft Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 machine.  Whenever they try and open a file that has been emailed to them, they get an error message from Word.  If they receive a .zip file, they can click on the zip to open it, which then shows a list of the files in the archive.  These files can't be opened by double-clicking.

I looked at Windows Update, but I don't see any Office 2013 updates.


I have been able to work around this file open error in the following way:

• User saves file to computer (they are saving in DropBox)
• User then right-clicks on the saved file, and selects  EDIT
• The file appears on the screen, and can be viewed and printed.

Could this be a Word problem?  Would upgrading to Office 365  or  Office 2016 help?


Any idea why these attachments can't be opened?

Thanks

When I use Save As PDF I get this error on many sections and have clicked Yes, since this is a trial run. But I hope to create a printable book version very soon.

How do I find the spots which are outside the printable areas?


Also, how can I navigate inside Word to a given Section? The error references a specific section.

Thanks

I am not sure why my resume was formatted to have such crazy sections containing parts of the text.

I just want it to be one large text field...


Is there an easy way to fix this?

Hello,

Which styles in MS Word are automatically included when creating a Table of Contents (TOC)?

For example, isn't it true that styles like "Title" & "Heading #" are automatically recognized and included in a Word TOC whereas, "Normal" or "Text" are not?

If so, then is there a list somewhere which defines which styles are in each category?

Thanks

Quick, for those of you that care about copywriting, typography, and such: what's your favorite way to make an em-dash (—)? My current method is to do a Google search and copy/paste, but this seems terrible and I feel bad every time I do it because I know there are more efficient ways. I've been too lazy busy to train myself to do something better, but maybe learning your favorite way(s) will finally prompt me to take a more efficient approach...

Note: most of my writing is done in a web browser and I tend to bounce between Chrome on a PC and Safari on a Mac.

I found Helvetica 12 pt to be more readable that Time 12 and used it for me entire book.

I wrote the book in Word (Mac 2017) and exported to PDF.

Is Helvetica typically available on people PC's and devices?

Thanks

First I need some advice...

If I have 15 chapters, each with between 5-25 footnotes at the end. Shall I try and keep them at the end of each chapter?

I plan to create a PDF and sell the PDF.

Does the existence of footnotes distract from the next chapter? Or is it a useful way to segment the footnotes?


If so, how do I do this with Word (2017 for Mac)?

Conversely...

If I decide to put them ALL at the bottom, after the final chapter, Word would do this automatically. I could easily update the footnotes, by inserting the Chapter numbers, since al the footnotes should, in theory, be organized sequentially.

What's your advice??

Whenever WordPerfect X3 starts up, there is an error on the screen referring to a Timed Backup, that states that Document 0 backup file exists.

If we click on Delete, the message goes away, and then WordPerfect X3 can be used normally.

How to get rid of this error?

Thanks

My book looks like it will be in excess of 2GB. There are so many images and I have yet to do image compression. That will reduce the size enormously.

But at the same time, I am sad to take out great photo resolution and replace that.

What is the "damage" of having a high resolution high file size PDF download?

Curious to her of anyone with any negative experience with a large PDF.

Thanks

I need a footnote multiple times but find it gets copied into the footnotes section twice.

Is there a way to re-use an existing footnote?

Thanks

I do not use these line any longer since I can never get rid of them.

But today I have one and am stuck with it...

My old version of Mac Word (2011) allowed me to highlight the text, then click a sample font, which i used for heading styles.

When I create a Table of Contents, these styles were key.

How do I do this with my new version of Word?

Thanks

I have a bunch of images that need to be uniform in size. What is the quickest way?

I use Word for Mac 15.35


Thanks
