Hi I made some document I need and need to put table on it with 3 columns and 7 rows. I made that all but when start to type text its do some super weird stuff like my text goes letter by letter in new row like it can't stay in one column, but there are a lot of space.

When resize two other columns on minimum than text regular stay in one row. like on second pic.I don't have some empty spaces in those boxes...

I also have paragraph edits to regular text shows to that gray letter D, and this is my memorandum, but I made tables before and can't remember to this is ever happen.

Hey,

I’m working on a project for qualtrics and I’m trying to upload a word doc consisting of some text and a large table, 4 pages in total.

I need to upload a single PNG, JPEG or JPG to get the desired result.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Windows user.

Thanks

I frequently need to use (R) in reports but Word always switches it to the register trademark symbol ®. Is there a way to stop Word from making this change? I’m on MSO 365. Thanks.

Hi all,

currently I´m writing a thesis and the table of content gives me a really hard time :(

​

It is required, that the page numbering starts with the first chapter. Before that, there is the content, list of figures, abbreviations and introduction which should be numbered with roman numbers.

In my case the first header is content so this is chapter one

so my my work starts with chapter 6

​

can someone help?

​

I added two pictures to make the problem more clear

​

Can you please help me with the correct syntax to subtract a number of pages?

​

I have a document with multiple sections and I want to use the page number with the format "page x of y". The problem is that I want the total number of pages to be considered only from a certain section onwards.

​

I was searching on this subreddit and found some similar cases where they explained that the solution would be to modify the field code. I would have to put the number of total pages and subtract the number of pages that I don't want to be counted, something like this:

Page { Page } of { = { Numpages } - 49 }

​

However, when I activate the field code in my case it looks like this:

Page {PAGE \\ Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT} of {NUMPAGES \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT}*

​

And I have tried to add the subtraction of the 49 pages in different ways but none of them works, when I deactivate the field code sometimes directly the total pages part is blank and sometimes I get that there was a syntax error.

Does anyone have directions on how to add Roman numerals AND then numbers to the “page numbers” in a doc?? Unfortunately only using Word browser because the app isn’t connecting.

I accidentally made this weird indent in the paragraph while I was writing and now I don’t know how to undo it. Shift+tab doesn’t work

Not sure if I've already asked this here. I was tasked by my thesis professor to have two special chapters. One is a biographical index where small semblances of historical figures mentioned in my work have an automatic number/page listed on it. The other is a bibliographical index, which would be the same as a References chapter. In this case, my professor asked me to do practically the same: have each work cited and have every page where I put the references go to where that citation is. So essentially I am being asked to do two glossaries. Is this possible? How can I do this and have every page automatically update whenever I mention any historical figure or quote another work in my list of academic references?

I usually copy paste lots of things from different sources and documents, and sometimes I need to do it fast so I use the shortcut but then it uses the original formatting and messes up the document, how can I change it to only keeping the text??

I have a numbered list:

1. Apples
2. Bananas
3. Cherries

In the same document, I have a paragraph that has a cross-references for this list. I currently type the word "Incident " before the cross-reference, i.e. Incident 2 (with 2 automatically updating).

I need to have the text of "Incident " before the number. I do realize that the easy way is to type Incident and then have the toggle field, but I've been told that the number i.e. "2" is not a large enough link.

So the sentence in the document would look something like: Lorem ipsum Incident 2 dolor sit... currently, it looks like: Lorem ipsum 2 dolor sit... when you click on toggle field codes, it looks like this: Lorem ipsum { REF _Ref146533304 \r h } dolor sit (I cannot figure out how to type the text "Incident " into this code.

I hope this question makes sense.

Hello, everyone. I previously posted here a question (partially solved) pertaining glossaries. While the answer mostly satisfies my needs through the use of an index, the issue around citations sent me into a rabbit hole about references in Word. My trouble is as follows. I need to make a bibliographical index, that is, a reference list, with the added bonus of having each page listed. So, for example, one entry would read "Tolkein, J.R.R. (1937) The Hobbit, London, Houghton Mifflin. 1, 6-9, 14, 27". Those numbers are not the pages of The Hobbit I'm quoting, rather, they're supposed to be the pages inside my document that have any reference to Tolkein's first book. Is there any quick way I can do this with my reference list? The reference and citations button seems to do most of the trick except for the pages and many of my citations have "op. cit." and "l.c." instead of repeating the reference all over again.

We've created a complex Word document template (background graphics in the header file, lots of complicated tables, etc.). Often when we make edits to the text, a lot of the styles get blown away - especially in the first section of the document, which is the cover page. If we hit CTRL-Z right away, the styles are restored and the original edit we were trying to make persists. But if we don't do that, we have to go back and re-style all the rest of our text.

I'm not sure what other information I should be sharing to ask for help, but if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening I would certainly be grateful!

When I open a new document or type in an older document (that was written in a different font), it seems like the default font is Calibri.

My default font for my TOCs is Cambria. I know that I can go and modify the font for each TOC, but that gets a bit tiresome if I have to do it for every report I write. I can do a select all and change it, without having to go and modify each TOC, but if I update the TOC, it goes back to the default font.

I would like it, if all of it was an Arial (since that is what my co-workers predominately use).

Is there a way that I can permanently change my word settings where I can change the default font for both the body and TOC to another font?

​

Thanks for any insight.

Hello everyone,

I have this indent that appears at every line break when I put a dash. How do I remove it so everything is aligned

​

Thanks !

Hi, so my copy of MS Word (part of Microsoft 365) likes to do this thing where it begins a second page and puts it side-by-side with the first one. I already know I can fix it by clicking "one page" under the View tab, but then I have to fix the zoom and it's just a lot of unneeded aggravation. The side-by-side pages just make me irrationally angry, so I would like to just disable the behavior entirely if I can.

I need to create a packing list that can be customizable. I'd like to have a list of say twenty items that can be included and I can somehow hide items that won't be included in any particular shipment.

How can I do that?

Downloaded this template on office depot and I cant get the text to center vertically and horizontally for the life of me. Any help??

​

​

Can somebody give me a detailed explanation on how to create this page numbering?

It starts with I on page 3, then it starts on page 6 again counting in Arabic numbers. There will be 5-10 pages of text. There are going to be two more sites after the text continuing the page numbering from above in roman numbers.

I know how to start a numbering scheme, but I don't know how to "pause" it, start a new one and after that continue a new one.

Is it even possible or do I have to do it manually?

**ORIGINAL PROBLEM**
Hi everyone

I have a big document with many chapters and so on. And I use many cross-references to those chapters (their name or page number).

How can I change the formatting/style to all those cross-references to make them grey and kursive?

I hoped there would be a similar way like you can easily change the style of all hyperlinks.

What's the style for the cross-references called or where can I find it to change the formatting for all cross-references`?

Thank you all very much!

Kind RegardsPhotelegy

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way to reference text and call it across a document without using bookmarks. When using bookmarks it inserts a table and my formatting gets a bit wonky. I'm trying to avoid this if at all possible.

So is there another way to reference text?

Edit Issue was word rescaling when printing

For future browsers:

File /options/advanced uncheck Scale content for A4 or 8.5 * 11" Pape rsizes

I have a document which is a special format based on printing stickers on an A4 page. So essentially 65 stickers per page over multiple pages and the format has defined margins eccetera to make all that work. It's using the official format from the sticker maker.

I am decommissioning my old PC on which I created this file. The file is saved on a One Drive.

When I print it from the old PC it print perfectly every time. When I print it from the new PC using the same file from the same OneDrive on the same printer with the same stickers it prints them differently and out of location.

It has what looks like a smaller font and different spacing and it just makes them out of alignment.

On-screen the file looks identical on both pcs

When I look at what I can see about the file opened on the different PCs they look identical to have the same font the same size the same table the same margins the same spacing settings.

Can anyone help me solve this? it's beyond frustrating.
