Hi, I am working on a very large document in Word, which is so large (~6000 pages) that I resorted to having two documents open at the same time and preparing the section in a smaller document, then pasting it to the larger one so that it doesn't lag so much.

I have many hyperlinks in the text that link to many section headings. When I would copy the text into the larger document before, it would always change the destination of the link in a way that it linked to the heading in the larger document which I copied everything into.

However today, I prepared everything and was ready to copy the next section into the larger document, but the headings were not copied (they were suddenly normal text) and the links that usually changed on their own and worked okay in the large document were now linked to the smaller document from which I pasted the text from.

I tried changing all the ways I copy stuff - copy with formatting, without formatting, copy with the same theme... nothing works and I feel kind of annoyed since I now have to change the headers in the new document which takes way more time and lags and freezes.

I am not sure what changed, I don't know how to repair this and how to copy everything the way I did before. Does anyone here know what is happening?

Thank you so much in advance and I am so sorry for this very confusing description of my issue. I hope someone will understand what I mean :)

I copy pasted multiple things and some came out normal and the other have this border around it that won't go away, I've tried pasting with just text conserved and the border was still there, i tried seeing if the borders on Word but the border seem to not be working at all. I tried putting them on text that didn't have it and it didn't work either but all my other buttons work. If i type new text from another line it works fine it's only the copy pasted stuff

What did you study ?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

It is obvious that Microsoft is not interested in introducing the collapsible heading feature to MW Mac, ever, which is very sad as this is such a small but crucial feature that makes documents more manageable. To be honest, I don't understand why not. No one is going to buy another computer just for this feature. But I might consider switching for features such as advanced AI support etc. Anyway... My questions is, do you perhaps know any add-on that might add this feature to Microsoft Word?

Thanks in advance.

i have no place to ask so i god here. i'm using office 365 word, and in korean i'm not sure why this is happening, but everytime i press save (ctrl+s) space between words changess. i noticed this by change of line i've wrote.

for example,

before :

all works and no play makes

jack a dull boy.

after:

all works and no play makes jack

a dull boy.

its minor, but since i'm writing a book so its a problem for me.

i suppose it's kinda setting problem in this file (it's given format from company) or whatsoever. because it doesn't happen in new doc.

anyone knows what kind of option should i look for?

*there is a typo in title.(of course its everytime, not evertime.) idk how to fix it.

Hello,

I am trying to quantify track changes by users in a MS Word document. For example:

Number of changes by user 1 Number of changes by user 2

Number of comments by user 1 Number of comments by user 2

Does anyone have an idea of how I might automate this task instead of having to manually count?

Thanks!

I really feel like Word is like a stroke victim, or a saucepan of boiling water that's just about to bubble over and ruin your dinner. I find myself spending SO MUCH TIME resetting things and looking up problems online. It wangs pictures and text boxes all over the place, or inexplicably locks them to the left margin or the left page end, and then magically doesn't if you close it and open it again; it sometimes shows a preview when you move a picture, but, y'know, sometimes doesn't and you have to work in the dark; it suggests bizarre corrections in the spell check including flagging random half words as incorrectly spelled, and this thing in the picture which is just inexplicable; it loses my keyboard shortcuts every few weeks just, y'know, for fun, and decides that Ctrl+0 is a zoom shortcut not a paragraph shortcut because of course you haven't spent the last fifteen years using it to adjust paragraph spacing.

I get that it's all 'in the cloud' and we're just little drone users, but I loved how customisable the older versions of word were and how nothing changed unless you decided that you wanted a change.

I've been having an issue with Word and Microsoft Office in general. It keeps me in preview mode, and when I try to update the license, it gives me the error, "Couldn't update License Error Code 44." I'm stumped. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and also used the Microsoft tool OffScrub to remove the registry files—still no go. If anyone can figure this out, I'll send you $20 on CashApp, no joke. I've been working on it for weeks.

Other Steps Completed

• Run Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA): Microsoft offers the SaRA tool specifically for diagnosing and repairing issues with Office. Download and run it to see if it can detect and resolve the licensing issue.
• Clear Temporary Files: Sometimes, cached or temporary files can cause issues. Clear temporary files by pressing Windows + R, typing temp, and deleting all files in the folder. Repeat this process with %temp%.
• Update Windows and Office: Make sure both Windows and Office are fully updated. Go to Settings > Update & Security to check for Windows updates, and then open any Office app and go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now to ensure Office is on the latest version.
• Reset Activation Token: Try resetting the activation token in Command Prompt.
  • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands one by one:Then restart your computer and try to activate Office again.shellCopy code cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\OSPP.VBS" /rearm
• Verify Date and Time Settings: An incorrect system date or time can cause license verification issues. Ensure that your date, time, and region settings are correct.
• Activate Office through your Microsoft Account: Visit office.com, log in with the Microsoft account associated with your Office license, and check if there’s an option to manage licenses or devices. Deactivate Office on any old devices and attempt to reactivate it on your current computer.
• Modify Trusted Sites in Internet Options: Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites and add:This can help with license connectivity.arduinoCopy code https://login.microsoftonline.com https://office365.com
• Firewall and Antivirus Check: Sometimes, these programs can block license activation servers. Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus to see if they are the cause.

Its a bit on info I need on a Word Document. Some very simple I'm sure for most, I'm just kinda braindead

I am attempting to copy and paste something from a google doc into a word doc and the spacing is completely different. Does anyone know how I can make the spacing on word the same as on the google doc? I've never had this issue before.

Normally, full justification will make all lines extend from margin to margin except for the last line. Often, the last line is only a few words long, so it would look silly to extend it all the way.

The problem I am running into is that I have a number of numbered lists. Sometimes, items in the list have multiple paragraphs, so I use a soft return to separate the paragraphs. When I do full justification, the line before the soft return extends all the way. Often, these lines are only a couple of words long, so it looks ridiculous.

Is there a way to make it so that the line before a soft return doesn’t extend all the way?

(I know I can do it manually by doing a hard return, turning off the numbering for that paragraph, and indenting it so that it lines up with the rest of the numbered items, but this is a 220 page book, so I was wondering if there were other options.)

I'm using the free online version of Word. When I use the Cambria typeface, some of the letters don't look like Cambria, or at least they don't look like any examples of Cambria I can find online. Several of the letters (basically the curvy ones, such as C, G, S, a, c, f, g, etc.) seem to have rounded serifs, whereas they should have straight serifs. Sorry, I don't know anything about typography, so I'm probably butchering the terminology here. But looking at the screenshots below, the text I typed is clearly different than the example of Cambria from dafontfree. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Hey guys.

I've insertede a field code with CTRL + F9 and made the following code

IF { NUMPAGES } > 1 "Text for the first page" ""

It's been insertede between the { } that word makes for the field codes.

The issue is that when updating it just shows "NUMPAGES"...

What to do?

Following steps have been done:
* Checkede that show field code instead of value isn't checkede in settings

It just appeared. It is not redlining or a paragraph marker.

I use the word "self" a lot as a noun in shorthand notes for my work (e.g. "finds self repeating words", etc). Word constantly highlights "self" and whatever comes after with a blue line wanting me to hyphenate (e.g. "self-repeating", flagging it as a "possible word choice error" under "Grammar".

I still need spell check but this is badly distracting and I've found no way to turn it off, just "ignore once". In my spell check settings, "hyphenation" is unchecked, so that's not it, nor is "frequently confused words" or "commonly confused phrases". I really am at wits' end swimming in a sea of blue. Any thoughts?

Recently any document is misshaped even though I have 8 1/2" X 11" set as the paper size. Any idea why. I've used Word for 30 years. never had this issue. It looks like it is clipping where the top and bottom margins would be.

This is in my Style Gallery and I'm wondering why does this happen? Is my document bugged?
