MSWord 2003 problem

Posted By: Pat on 2007-07-03
In Reply to:

Help! I recently purchased a new computer and reloaded my old Word 2003 on it. I have customized some of the settings according to Laura Bryan's MT Werks book that I've used before. I prefer to type using normal view. The status bar at the bottom is NOT showing me the Ln at the bottom; i.e., 6.5, 6.7, etc. unless I switch to print view. So I don't know where I am on the page, doesn't display page breaks, etc. This USED to show up, now it doesn't. I really don't like to type in print view as well. What happened? Any ideas??

Changing Excel 2003 Addresses Into Word 2003 Addresses

Hello !


I have a large amount of addresses listed on an Excel 2003 spreadsheet.  I need these addresses for Word 2003 letters.  I end up copying the address from Excel and pasting it into Word, but as you can imagine, the pasted address is in a straight line and I end up having to type the address so it displays correctly for a letter.  Does anyone know if there is a simple way to change the Excel address format to a Word letter address format?  Thank you for your help.


About MSWord......
Some companies have different interfaces and formats (Spheris was horrible...my opinion, of course....) was interested in using MSWord itself.

This is certainly not an answer to your question, but one of my own.  I make samples, too, but I just store them out in the expander, rather than as a document in a file.  Is there any reason you don't do this, or any reason I should not be doing this?  So far it works fine.  I just type in my code words (part of doc's name with let for letter) and it pops onto the screen.
MSWord
Okay, a question about using dot doc. Those are Word documents, right? The problem is, I cannot have Word open while I am transcribing, because the platform I use is Word-based and attaches itself to Word. If I try to use Word, then everything locks up.

Right now what I am doing works for me. I have a limited number of cardiology docs (clinic), so my macros are limited, too. If Autocorrect begins to have problems with it, then I will have to try something else - like IT. And if I had a program that wasn't Word based, then I could use Word for storing my macros, too. I agree - trying to edit is not very convenient! And trying to copy from the text into something that is already in Autocorrect usually doesn't work, either; it's a hit-and-miss project, and I have never figured out why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, for me right now, it works. If things change, then I will have to re-evaluate what I do. Thanks for all the input.

Can you help me with MSWord Template? SM

Hi everyone!  I'm working on about 20+ reports by the same doctor.  I have a template that I saved for him under MSOffice, Templates, his name.  In the past, I've been going to explore (right clicking on the start menu) and physically pulling up the template for each and every report.


Is there a way I can just open the template once.  Finish the first report and then automatically when a new Word document opens it will open that template?


Thanks,

Learning MSWord - need help

Finally have given in and am switching from WP to MSWord. I work from home. If anyone has any encouraging words about MSWord, I certainly would like to hear them. So far, I am going crazy, i.e., I have put in "gray boxes" but when I enter my autocorrect short cut for the "shell", my cursor goes to the bottom of the page and I have to page up 2-3 times. I am missing something?


Any help would be so very much appreciated


Thank you.... bw...


Macros - MSWord

When I do clinic notes I need to make a log, so have been copying the heading over to another document.


However, someone told me that in WP8 there is a macro that can do this automatically. If true, is there such a thing in Word?


If anyone keeps a separate log, can you tell me how you do it.


Thank you.


Try the MSWord tutorial. It is all there.

An MSWord question

I make normals of my own for reports I do on a company platform.  I save my normals in the My Documents folder under the hospital number. 


Some of my normals are saved in blue letters and some in black letters.  Can anyone tell me what the difference is and how I can make them all black.


Sounds trivial, I know, but.....


TIA


Stand alone MSWord
You can get it at Office Max, etc., it is the full version and costs around $450-500. Getting it in the Suite is much much less expensive (I think about $90-100, it has been a long time) and is all you will ever need for transcription.
MSWORD question. sm
There use to be a way in Word when if you were typing listed items by number, that when you got to #10, you could move one space to the left so the items on the right would be in proper alignment.  Anyone know how to do this.  Thanks.
with 1 job I do, with the other 2 spaces. You can program MSword to do 1 or 2. - nm

The "counter" in MSWord is not accurate. While it is after the fact, (sm)
I highly recommend purchasing Slycount.(http://www.sylvansoftware.com/sylcount.htm).  First and foremost, be honest.  Tell him/her the invoice you submitted is not accurate, and after deciding exactly what and how you wish to charge, send an amended invoice. 
Looking for a good word expander to go along with MSWord. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hi all!!!  I am currently using MSWord and would like to purchase a word expander.  I have done some research, but am still not certain which one to buy.  I wish not purchase one that will drain my bank account, but do want one with the capability to have the ability to add an indefinite amount of shortcuts, etc.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!!


Easier way to sort an address list in MSWord?
The only way I know to sort an address list in MSWord is by making the first line of the address a Heading. Is there an easier way? I received a 150-page address list from a doctor and it isn't organized in any way whatsoever. And *snif* I'm not looking forward to manually changing the first line of each addy to a heading, but I don't know any other way to do it. Hey! 'Tis the season for miracles, no?
macro to import expansion list into MSWord Autocorrect

Here is my macro that will import your expansions into MSWord.  Your list needs to be in the following format for this macro to work:


tp=the patient


copd=COPD


chf=CHF



There needs to be a hard return at the end of each entry.  If you have any expansions that contain an equal sign or a hard return, you will need to enter those into your autocorrect manually.  Here is the macro:


Sub Add2AutoCorrectList()
Dim AddName, AddValue As String
Dim W, C, A, L, Y, T, N As Long
Dim CountWords As Boolean
Selection.WholeStory: Selection.Collapse
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count: C = 0: A = 0: T = 0
ScreenUpdating = False
While N > 0
x = Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward)
    If x = 0 Then
        End
    End If
Selection.MoveEndUntil cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward
AddName = Trim(Selection.Text)
L = Selection.Words.Count
With Selection
    .Delete: .Delete
    .MoveEndUntil cset:=Chr$(13), Count:=wdForward
End With
AddValue = Trim(Selection.Text)
Y = Selection.Words.Count
AutoCorrect.Entries.Add (AddName), Value:=(AddValue)
Selection.Delete , Count:=2
T = L + 2
N = N - T
C = C + 1
A = A + 1
If N < 1000 Then
ScreenUpdating = True
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count
End If


If A = 100 Then
Application.ScreenRefresh
'ScreenUpdating = True
StatusBar = N & " " & C & " " & " entries processed!"
A = 0
End If
Wend


  
End Sub


One word of warning:  When I posted a line counting macro here some time ago, I could not get a quote mark in the code to post, so the macro as posted would not work, and I had to followup with a post explaining how to correct that.  This macro is a bit more complicated than the other one was, and although I will look at the code as soon as this posts, if it doesn't come through perfectly, and you don't understand my corrections, you can e-mail and I will send it to you.


Also, I wrote a companion macro that will list your autocorrect into a document so that you can import it into another computer or just keep it as a backup in case you lose your normal.dot.


 


I had it done in 2003
It's been almost three years and I couldn't be happier! I had really bad vision and astigmatism, and now I have 20/20 vision! My eyes were dry before the procedure, so I had trouble with contacts, and my eyes are still dry. I try not to use drops very often, as I think that my eyes get used to them and dry out more if I don't use them a lot after that. I do have some trouble seeing at night, as there are halos around the lights, but it's not bad enough that I can't drive or anything. I just love being able to see when I first wake up and in the shower!!
I'm using 2003.
I've been using IT without problems. Sometimes I can go for months with a problem and then, BAM, it's right back again. I'm just totally out of solutions right now it's not even funny. Thanks for your post--I hate it, too, when no one responds.
Thanks for the tip. I have 2003. nm

Actually Word 97 through 2003 (sm)
are essentially the same. A document created in 2003 can be opened in 97 with no problems. You aren't missing anything and you saved a bundle!

Been using 2003 since it came out and this has never happened to me.
This sounds like the problem people have with Norton AntiVirus Office Plug-in. You need to disable that in NAV Options.
Office 2003--sm
I like it better than 2000. The only thing I have noticed with it though, although it was true of ALL versions of Word, was that when using it as primary for word processing and using auto correct for expansions, it seems like the capitalization after a period tends to erode after a while and sometimes it won't do it, particularly with the most used letters, like T, R, S, etc. but like I said, ALL the Word programs I have used have done this over time.
NEED HELP WITH WORD 2003

Does anyone on the board here know how to subtype in Word?


Word 97 to 2003

I am finding that my Word 97is bogging down and two accounts that I work use 2003 and I believe there might be interference between the two programs.  I would like to know if anyone has transitioned their documents to 2003 and if there have been any complications.


Thanks


So, does it work with 2003?

Word 2003 help

 HELP! I've used Word 2003 for years. I bought a new computer with XP, NOT Vista, loaded the program back on and it seems to work fine EXCEPT I always worked in normal view, just like it better. However, now in normal view will NOT display the entire status bar words as before; i.e., Ln does NOT show up. For example, if I wanted to skip to Line 6.75 or whatever, I have no clue where it is. Print view, I know, displays all of this. In normal view, it  never shows page breaks either which it did before. My problem is, I really like to work in normal view and have done so for years with the above items showing up on the status bar. The status bar is there at the bottom but won't display Ln at all. I have two reference books and cannot for the life of me figure thisout. Any ideas? Perhaps reinstalling it again???

Hi all! 


I accidently bumped something -- I have no clue what!  But now I have two tools bars on my Word 2003 screen and I cannot seem to get rid of the duplicate.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Not sure of how to help with that - but was told by the IT people where I work not to update to the newest version or it would interfere with the connection with Escription -

I tried that -- it didn't remove the double tool bar and I didn't update anything either so it didn't get messed up from any updates -- just me typing too fast and hitting something that I shouldn't have.  Ugh!

In Word 2003... sm

Go to the top where the drop down menus are.  Go to "Tools" "Autocorrect Options" "Autoformat As You Type" and check or uncheck the boxes as you prefer.  There is one for a fractions and for 1st.


I don't have 2000 so I can't tell you how it is different off the top of my head.

XP came out 2001, the other 2003. sm

It is almost 2009.  If you will only upgrade your operating system and software when you are forced to, then you will end up in situations like this.


Keeping current is the name of the game in this field, you should know that.  You will never be caught with an empty wallet and no work if you make your computer and software upgrades every couple of years.
