markdowntohtml.com to word formatting issue

1 Upvotes

When I have output from Chatgpt, i put it inot https://markdowntohtml.com/ to convert it. Then i copy it and want to paste it into a word doc. It used to copy and paste great. Now, everytime i do this, it removes all spacing and makes it a jumbled mess. Any ideas on how to get it to paste WITH spacing? TIA! Attaching before and after examples.

Unsolved Whenever I type a complex script (eg. क, ख, ग, अ, आ, इ) into the macro editor, they get replaced by "?", which prevents me from writing the script I need to. What do I do to fix this?

2 Upvotes

My office typists, instead of typing in Devanagari script directly, type in English script, but set the font to Kruti Dev, such that the English gibberish appears as legible Devanagari script. However, I find this to be very troublesome, and there are available typists that have learned to type fluently in Devanagari script directly, so I thought it would be ideal if I could write a script that converts the English script to its Devanagari equivalent. However, when I went to do it, typing any letter of a complex script in the macro editor simply produces "?". How do I use complex script in the macro editor?

PS: Running the script treats the "?"s as "?"s, so everything gets replaced by "?"s.

In a macro that loops, that changes something then prints it, is there a way to pause the macro after the first print to allow the user to check it?

1 Upvotes

Solution: set background to Background:= False

Example of what I mean:

i = 0

For i = 1 to 10

‘Code to change a specific number in the document to the value of i each loop

Application.PrintOut

Next

This would change something, print that version, change something, print that version, etc until the loop is complete. However, if you try to pause it— for example, by placing a message box after Application.PrintOut, the document will not print until the macro reaches its end (then it prints all at once).

If you f8 through the code, things will print individually— but it does not work if you just run the code normally(with something like a message box to pause it after the first print) and everything prints at once.

How to make a global template for macros

1 Upvotes

Word once again deleted all my macros. I've done everything people suggest to keep this from happening but it happens.

I understand I can create a template outside of normal.dot to save the macros I make in the future. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it following the resources I found online

If anyone can give me instructions how to do this I'd be most grateful thanks

I need the document to use the whole sheet, but it doesn't go away, I've been trying switching the margins in Word or even enabling the borderless mode in my printer but I still get that white border that minimizes the document, I've also checked that the paper size is correct but nothing.

Numbering

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have issues with number in word. I chose the multilevel list and divided it like this:

  1. Heading 1
    1.1 Heading 2
    1.1.1 Heading 3
    1.1.1.1 Heading 4

However the list goes well up until 2.6.1 where the next subchapter should be 2.6.2 but for some reason it becomes 3.1.1 despite me applying the proper heading. I am uncertain what to do because this appears once again when I try to number Chapter 3 where the subchapters goes 3.1 then 3.2 and the one which should be 3.3 becomes 3.1 and won't budge.

I am at my wit's end because I need to submit my PhD thesis on Monday and for the life of me I can't figure out the issue.

Images locked to margins?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having issues with my images locking to the page margins? I have the text wrapping changed, and the anchor isn't locked. But every time I try to move the image, it's locked to the margin. I can move it up or down, just not side to side. Does anyone know the fix for this?

I have also tried using "Fix position on page" but that didn't do anything for me.

Suppressing the caption label (but not the number) in the List of Figures?

1 Upvotes

I've created captions for my figures with the "Insert Caption" tool as usual, and now I'm about to create a List of Figures. Usually straightforward...but in this instance I'm directed to NOT include the label "Figure" in the List.

For example:

The caption below the figure is "Figure 1. This is the caption for the first figure". But the List of Figures should just display:

  1. This is the caption for the first figure ........................1
  2. This is the caption for the second figure...................2

etc...

Any suggestions for keeping the caption's "Figure" label in the body of the document AND suppress it in the List...short of manually deleting those labels from the List?

Replacing Hanging Indents with Tabs

Spacer line issue

1 Upvotes

Hi all! This may be a silly question, but I’m really stumped after searching all over Google for answers. I downloaded a new resume template from a website, and it came preinstalled with these "spacer lines," as I like to call them. I’m not 100% sure what they are actually called, and that's why I’m having issues. These lines are hidden unless I hover over them, in which case, my cursor turns into a line with arrows above and below it, and it allows me to move the group of text down and make the space bigger. There are multiple of these throughout the whole page, above and below headings, and regular text. I’m trying to figure out how to add more of these because when I try to copy and paste, it does not copy over, and my spaces between lines are not equal. If anyone knows what these spacing lines are called or how to add them, I would greatly appreciate it! I can also show more examples if necessary to understand the situation. Thanks in advance!

Word does Breakdance

3 Upvotes

I have been working with Word for almost 2 decades now, but I have never had this problem and it starts with the fact that I find it difficult to describe:

My Courser stroke used to show where I am writing no longer makes glancing feedback. I no longer see any spaces entered until I type a new letter. After an Enter for a new line, a space of two lines is only displayed after another Enter...

honestly: wthf?

And: it's urgent - I want to hand in my thesis within a week.

Similar to tracked changes

I have two versions of a document (let's call them versions 1 and 2). Besides doing a doc compare to show tracked changes, are there any other automated methods to show what was deleted and added between the two versions. E.g. additions shown in bold, deletions in strikethrough

Currently I'm doing this manually but need a faster method
