Shift + Tab Button Doesn't Decrease Indent In Word 2007
Jul 10, 2011
I recently bought a new laptop and I installed Office 2007 on it (it had already been installed on other computers before). However, pressing Shift + Tab in Word doesn't decrease indent (It does so on PowerPoint). This does so on my other computers, and I assumed it was a default function in Word 2007. I tried to customize the keyboard shortcut for it, but Word wouldn't accept Tab as a suitable shortcut key (instead of registering Tab as part of the shortcut key combination, it performed the normal Tab function and went to the next gui object). Is there any way to fix this? I can live with it, since all I have to do is make a shortcut without Tab, or just simply click the respective buttons, but the Shift + Tab shortcut is ingrained in my memory and will be hard to unlearn, especially since any other computer I use with Word will use the default shortcut.
I spaced out the other night and shut off the power as my computer was shutting down.Everything else seems to be fine, but the minimize, tile, and close buttons in the upper right corner are enormous now. How do I make them smaller?
The reason: I write a lot of code with use of such symbols as (){}",#$%$^$&<> and i have to use shift all the time.
The problem: After a while my hands feel some discomfort especially my tiny finger which i use to press shift.
So i was thinking if i can remap shift to space it could be a lot better. I know there is a lot of software that can do simple remap but then i have to press shift when i need to put a space. Doesn't make any sense.
What i am looking: I way to make work space button like this: If i just press down then immediately release space button it acts as usual space (ie. reacts on key up event)but if i hold it and press another keys it acts as a shift button.
There's a lag in windows when I hold and drag the mouse for selection rectangle, but only when I keep CTRL or ALT or SHIFT pressed along with the mouse button, there's a lag even with this simple rectangular marquee in windows, the movement gets frozen every 2-3 seconds. And when I hold and drag for rectangular marquee with mouse button only, there's no lag and it's smooth as it should be.
Same behavior in 3D softwares: lag when using mouse button + ctrl or alt or shift, and NO LAG when using mouse button only CTRL, SHIFT and ALT are the cause! But the problem now is how to fix that? I want to use the alt or shift or ctrl key along with the mouse in my 3D apps, it's so convenient and useful. I disabled tablet input service and it doesn't work.
When I was using Word 2007 under XP I never had a problem with it not opening, or closing while in use. Now that I am using WIndow7 64-bit, I regularly have the problem that:
A. If I try to open Word directly, I often get a message that "There is a problem with Word. Windows is searching for a solution." (Paraphrased.) Invariably the result is that Word shuts down. The only recourse I have found is to restart the computer. Happens several times a day.
B. Sometimes even while working with a document, I get the same message and result. The error occurs more often if I have a document open and then try to open another one.
I don't recall the same problem with Excel 2007, and have only used Power Point 2007 once (no problem at that time). Is there a way to "repair" word 2007? Must I reinstall it? HP Pavilion p6247, Athlon CPU, 2.3 GHz, Windows 7 64-bit; Microsoft Office 2007 Pro.
Assume I have 2 docs and I want to find out the changes between them.The feature "Track changes" is not enabled and I don't want to enable it.I just want a one-shot comparison.In old Word 2003 there was a menu Tools->Compare and Merge Documents....Where EXACTLY is the corresponding menu in Word 2007?
receive Word 2007 (doc) from other studens. I have MS office (word) (docx)2010,,,When I get it, it tries to open in adobe reader? I can't open other earlier programs of Word?, What am I doing wrong?
I am running MS Office 2007 (student edition)When opening a word document it has started freezing on the word splash screen. I then get the error "There was a problem sending the command to the programme".The only way to get rid of the splash screen is through task manager and kill the process.I have unistalled office and re-installed then updated with SP1 and 2 for it.I am still getting the same error. All other office applications are working fine.
Recently I have problem using "save" command in MS Word.Every time I want to save my doc, a message appears "Word can not complete the save due to a file permission error".Fyi, I can save my doc with "save as" command.
I had microsoft word with my HP notebook G62 since i bought it in 2010 but a few months ago it would not allow me to use it anymore.i can't find a simple download that actually works?
I have a recent installation of Windows 7 Professional 3 weeks ago.The past 2 days, Word 2007 will not open when i double click a .docx document from Explorer.For a couple of seconds a 'spinning wheel' is displayed...and then nothing.I went to Control Panel, Defaults, and checked the Application for .docx and it is Word.The strange thing is that sometimes it does work.I am clicking very fast And Windows 7 does display the spinning wheel for a second or two.
All other office programs work. I have already performed an uninstall and the reinstalled the software.I used the word 2007 startup troubleshooter fixit from microsoft. The fixit gets stuck at detecting default printers. When I try to open devices and printers, the window just searches endlessly.I have run sfc /scannow.I am thinking that the issue is caused by me not being able to open up devices and printers.
I am trying to copy and paste a html to word 2007. My problem is part of the document is white letters on black back ground. I know how to change all the back ground. But only 3 paragraphs have a black back ground , the rest is white.
I'd like to use MS Word 2007 as WordPress blogging client.
When I attempt to register the blogging domain within Word I get a "no" stating that Word can't connect.
I've selected the correct blog provider (WordPress), entered the correct username and password and entered the correct URL of the blog linking to the xmlrpc.php file.
In the WordPress Settings, under Publishing I've enabled the required service (protocol). Still, Word can't connect.
I just bought a laptop Window 7, How can I install Microsoft office 2007. I should be able to install it to up to 3 computers, and have done it only once.
I have just installed office 2007 and my icons are missing (I get DOCX on them). I have tried telling them to open with Word but when I double click to open them i just get lads of written code but when i go into word and then say open... they open ok.
I use tags to keep things organized. I can edit and update the tags on Word 2003 files just fine. But when I try to edit and save them on the newer files I get the following error:I've checked ownership and permissions, they both appear to be set properly, and that gives a different error anyway.I've also noticed that the older Word 2003 files allow for a thumbnail icon of the document, but this doesn't work for 2007 even if the thumbnail box is checked. I can edit the document information inside Word of course, but that doesn't show up in Windows Explorer searches.
I have some links saved in Microsoft word 2007 and now when I try to open them up using the control button and clicking on the link, I get an error saying: This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. It was working just a few days ago, and I haven't changed any settings and don't know what to do. I have Windows 7 64bit.
I've just downloaded Student and Home Office 2010, and for some reason I now cannot open documnents that are Word 2007. I also cannot save work onto my memory stick, as for some reason, it saves the document as Word 2007, even though I am doing the work on Word 2010! (I only ever had a trial version of 2007, never the whole thing and it is no longer on my comp) I am starting a history course soon, and their online docs are 2007, and again, I can't open them. A message pops up saying that 'the file does not have a programme associated with it for perfoming this action' thats what pops up every time.
I am unable to keep my default settings with Word 2003 and 2007 (font settings, AutoText etc). If I close out of word and reopen it, all my settings disappear.
