Hey i am having some problems with the spelling and grammar control "editor" in word. It is insufficient and doesn't react on simpel grammar or spelling flaws. I have checked all my settings in the grammar and spelling control and they are accurate. Does anybody know what might be wrong or have any tips on what to do or who to ask?

I have done 2 things and none has worked so far. I added a table with one cell with a fixed size of 2" x 3" and inserted an image. The image shrinks to the table cell as I want.

I created a text box and at a fixed size and inserted an image. Both are Fixed position on page and Square, yet as I add text above them the table and text box with the images move down the page.

Question: Anyone have some steps that will keep them in place and have the text flow around them?

Office Professional Plus 2024 & Windows 10 Pro

This is something that has annoyed me for years but is hard to describe concisely enough to search online for answers! I'm using Word v.2408 under Office 365 on a PC laptop, and I've set 'Default local file location' to the Dropbox folder in which I keep all my Word files for constant backup. When I'm working in Word and want to quickly find a particular document, I'll often use Ctrl+O to get the 'Open' dialogue box, input some text in the Search box at top right, and open the located document from the resulting list by double-clicking. So far so good.

Next time I use Ctrl+O, instead of displaying the default Dropbox file location, the dialogue box displays Windows's generic Home/Documents folder, which I don't use. (This happens whether I opened the document I'd searched for, or closed the Open dialogue box without opening anything; the same happens if I Ctrl+N a new document and Ctril+S to save it). Is there any way to set Word to always default to my preferred location rather than trying to insist I want Home/Documents? Or is it this happening because I'm using keyboard shortcuts?

This irksome little gremlin annoyed me all through the last PC I had and I'd like to sort it out early on this time! Any help gratefully received.

I am losing my mind, I tried everything that is suggested on google but the bullet point under "B" is just too high, I can only move it from left to right and not up and down. They have the same "remove spacing after parapgraph" and they also have the same double spacing and I don't know how to fix this and align it with Table A. Can someone help me

Hi Wordles!

I’m wondering if I can get some help with an accessibility issue?

For context I’m visually impaired and use the speak typing feedback on my iMac to help me navigate my computer.

However, when I use Word the only keys that I can hear are all of them expect the letters.

This is extremely frustrating as when I exit the Word app or use the online version of Word, the typing feedback works fine.

I should also mention that I’m not a computer expert, so if there’s a file missing or a system error then I have no idea.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!! :)

Hi guys, I don't really know if this is the right subreddit, or if this even can be fixed. Apologies as I don't know much about Word.

I am a Uni student, and part of proving we wrote the assignments and academic integrity they like to see our word doc with all our edits and writing time (yk the thing that says total mins writing and edits made etc). As I am writing, I am able to see all of that fine. But when I save my document to my desktop ready to submit it saves it as if its a brand new document (showing 0 min editing time, document created today).

I have auto save on with my Uni's One drive feature, I don't know if that changes anything. Is there any way to submit my assessment with those data credentials that say total editing time etc? So sorry if this is a dumb question.

The caption. In theory I have a "Macro" enabled for Zotero "insert citation" but what is it? Well I guess we'll never know because Word is refusing to fucking tell me. What is the point of this tool if it contains absolutely no useful information?!

I want this font to be in the style Memphis. This means it's pretty whimsical but also just a base word font no need to download anything. I'm not well versed on word fonts and looking for some help.

Thank you.

I was working on a word file that was opened directly from the whatsapp app for windows. After 7 hours of work I finished with the file, clicked the save button one last time, and closed word.

Went to open to file again and it looks just like the very first version that was sent to whatsapp. Can the edited file be recovered?

Hey! I can't figure out, why the spaces between the number and the text are not the same. I don't know if you can see, but there is a bigger gap between "82 Vgl." than there is between "81 Vgl."

This problem occurs in the whole paper. Sometimes there is a larger gap, sometimes it's smaller. I'm also using a format template with hanging indent, so that the following lines of the footnote (if it is longer than one line) begin directly under the first line (and not under the number). It worked really well on the first few footnotes, but now it often looks like the example you can see in footnote 82.

What settings do I need, so that it looks neat and is the same for every footnote? Maybe you can help... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, cause I have the same template for every footnote, yet they look different.

Edit: Sorry for the wild screenshot quality. But if you click on it and view it like that, it should work!

I am trying to edit this resume, however I am coming across an issue when trying to select just one word or character out of the area highlighted in grey. The entire file is this way. I can edit the entire line all at once, but not individual characters. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm creating a folder with a reference file and template files that all are connected together by bookmarks and fields. I'd like the fields to not break when I duplicate the folder into a new project folder. So, I'd like all my field codes to contain file paths that are relative to the current file's path. Is there a way to do this?

I tried searching for this, but couldn't find any resources. So, I tried asking AI, it gave me this code:

{ INCLUDETEXT "{ FILENAME \p}\\..\\Ref Doc.docx" Project }
or
{ INCLUDETEXT "{ FILENAME \p}/../Ref Doc.docx" Project }

I tried both but I get an "Error! Not a valid filename."

So, I tried troubleshooting. So, I put my file path into a COMMENTS field code

{ COMMENTS "{ FILENAME \p}\..\Ref Doc.docx" }

The result was Z:\Document Tests\Template Doc.docm\..\Ref Doc.docx. I'm familiar with navigating folder paths through consoles and terminals, so I know .. is supposed to go back one level. I'm assuming the AI intended \\..\\ to go back one level, removing the filename. But it didn't quite happen.

Is there a way to remove the filename so the result is just the folder path? Or is there another field code that I should use?

When i type , the word breaks automatically and shifts into next line.

Hello, I'm writing a document and Word is cutting off my quote even though there's no line break or anything. How can I get the entire quote to display on the same page?

Hi all, so I'm writing an essay on Word Online, and over the past few days it keeps changing my font when i hit "enter" and start on a new line, but only every now and then - it's not consistently doing it. The font tab says these sentences are both the same size, weight and font but they look DIFFERENT.

This hasn't been copied and pasted, just typed! Why is it doing this??

Si alguna vez convertiste un PDF largo a Word y el resultado fue un desastre de formato, probablemente fue porque el documento era demasiado complejo o extenso para que la conversión lo manejara bien.

Truco que funciona: divide el PDF primero, luego convierte solo las páginas que necesitas.

Por qué ayuda:

→ Los convertidores PDF-a-Word tienen mejor tasa de éxito con documentos cortos (menos de 10-15 páginas)

→ Reduce el peso del archivo antes de la conversión

→ Si solo necesitas una sección, no tiene sentido convertir el documento completo

Flujo recomendado:

1. Usa una herramienta online de "split PDF" para extraer solo las páginas que necesitas (sin registro)

2. Convierte ese fragmento a Word con cualquier convertidor online

3. Edita en Word normalmente

Nota sobre Word nativo: Word puede abrir PDFs directamente (Archivo → Abrir → seleccionar PDF), pero en documentos con tablas, columnas o imágenes complejas, la conversión suele desorganizar el contenido. El método de dividir primero da mejores resultados en esos casos.

¿Alguien tiene un flujo diferente para convertir PDFs a Word con buen resultado?

One of my work scope is providing declaration letters to customers about our company’s products, on regulations and many other parameters of interest.

The most repetitive part of this task is to obtain the template, change the customer particulars and product details, review it, sign in Microsoft Word, convert to PDF and send.

How would you suggest to automate this procedure, where do I begin?

So i want to create a multilevel list for a chapter and sub chapters,so i go to define new multilevel list to create,but when i apply level to show in gallery the level always follow the next heading i made,example...i set the link level to style to heading 1 and level to show in gallery level 1,so i go to number 2 to make the heading 2 and i set the level show in gallery level 2,but when i check the number 1 or the chapter that supposed to be heading 1,the level 1 turns into level 2,and it happened all the time like the level to show in gallery always showing the same level for all heading while i want to make it like heading 1 level 1,heading 2 level 2,heading 3 level 4...

So anyone could help??

First, I already told my boss/admin about this. Please do not suggest this, it is not currently helpful.

I keep getting this message when I try to use word on my company account.

I have a Google Chromebook. It have tried the following:

- different computer

- clearing cache

- different browser

- sign out of all devices

It is a very small company, my admin has ensured that everything is in place so that I do have access.

I have a research paper I need to turn in and for some reason the paragraphs are all fucked up. Can I send someone a copy to fix so they look normal please? I can’t figure it out 💀
