This is correct, the second file reverses the sequence.

Is there a fix for putting in sequential order?

(Windows 11)

Recently, I used Word in focus mode with my touch screen, then, when I wanted to return to normal view, I turned off focus mode, but the menu ribbon kept disappearing. I googled how this is usually fixed, and all solutions I came across included either the illusive arrow button on the top right or the pin at the bottom right corner of the menu ribbon, neither of which are present on my screen. CTRL + F1 also does nothing. I do remember a pin icon being there before I entered focus mode, but it's gone now.

I tried restarting the laptop and even reinstalling the entire Office 365 suite to absolutely no avail.

Please help me, I really really need this to work again.

Edit: After some more experimenting, I managed to bring the pin to fix the menu ribbon back by switching from full screen to windowed to access the quick access toolbar customization and setting it to "Show above the ribbon". However, I doubt that the pin is supposed to disappear in the first place, because even after setting it back to "Show Below the ribbon", the pin is still there and the quick access toolbar is still there even after going full screen again.

I was editing my report on Ms word. Usually when I close it save changes option always pops up but it didn't Today. Someone please help on how to recover the edited files.

I’m fairly good with word as I have an ICT qualification (and have been using word for 10 years now), recently I’m trying to compile some designs for shirts and hoodies and have been uploading them onto word, today though I cannot move the images whatsoever.

I’ve done wrap text front of text, messed with the settings, watched several tutorials and nothing is working. Could anyone explain why this could be happening?

SOLVED!

I am using Word for Mac, Version 16.91.

I have a multi-page document where I've used the Styles Pane set up a few styles with indents. Viewed in Web Layout, the indents all look right, but if I switch to Print Layout, the indents on even pages are ignored and everything is left-aligned.

I turned on Text Boundaries to make the issue more visible.

Here's a screenshot from Page 1, where the indented formatting of my "Heading 1", "List Paragraph" and "Sub-List Paragraph" styles are displaying with the desired indents:

Here's a screenshot from Page 2, where the Heading 1, List Paragraph and Sub-List Paragraph styles are flush to the left:

I have double-checked that the correct styles are applied to the different paragraphs through the Styles Pane.

If I reduce the font size on Page 1 so some of the stuff from Page 2 moves onto Page 1, the indents work for the content moved from Page 2 to Page 1. (So the problem seems to be related to the even pages, rather than the individual paragraphs.)

In Layout > Margins, I have the document margins set to "Normal" rather than "Mirrored" and margins are 1" in all directions.

My Page Size is set to US Letter.

There's nothing in the Header or Footer of any page.

Edited: SOLVED!

Finally found the solution. Under the Paragraph Format menu, in the Indents and Spacing > Indentation section, there's a box for "Mirror Indents". I did select-all for the document, opened that menu, and clicked the Mirror Indents box until it was unchecked. That solved the problem.

I don't even know how to describe this, but everytime I open a document in word, I get it like this, no upper margin, and page jumps look like that. At first I thought it was an update issue, now I don't know how to fix this and it is super annoying.

If I export the document it looks normal in pdf, but if I open it again in word it looks the same...

Do you know what this is and how I could fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Szállást adtál, egy éjszakára megosztva párnád. Evangélium.

Gyönyörű vagy. Semmit se értek. Csak jóság van, és nincsenek nemek.

Újra és újra sírok. Nem miattad. Érted. Értem. Boldogok, akik sírnak.

So, this is difficult to explain, but I’ll try my best. Usually when I move around pics in a Word doc, the picture “follows” where you pull it, so I can see how the text wraps around it. Usually, it also shows me in real time when I stretch an image, but it’s randomly stopped doing this about 130 seconds after I open the document.

After 30 seconds of no issues (after opening the doc), the pics don’t “follow” anymore, they just sit on their original spot until I let go, in which case they snap into place. Same when I try to stretch them, it just does not show me until I let go, so I can’t really tell the dimensions until I do.

Any idea on what this could be and any solutions? It is a pretty big doc with lots of images and 35k words, but I’ve never had an issue till today.

I’m using MacBook Every time I try save or try open a word document it just freezes on the colour wheel spinning. I’ve restarted it number of times and have deleted and redownloaded and still the case. Anyone know any fixes?

this is a picture i took from google so ignore the green box, this is how i want my word to look

and this is how my word looks, it looks weird, and i dislike it.

did anyone understand my issue? anyone got any idea what can I do?
Would appreciate any response!

So my word doc just started showing me in red the previous version of my document, with these annoying red lines on the side.
I deleted all of it, but the red lines persist and are just distracting.
So my questions are:

1. How do I get rid of the lines permanently?
2. How do I make sure this does not happen again?

I am reviewing a document written by someone else. Embedded in the document is a paragraph that appears within a content control box. This document (for a school paper) should be an original work by the student; it makes no sense to me that the author would include a content control box. Am I wrong to think the student has plagiarized from another source? Is there a legitimate reason a school paper would require content controls?

I've searched and found nothing that works. I've added Developer to the toolbar, but when I highlight a list and click the checkbox option in Developer, Word gives me an error saying "Check box controls cannot be inserted around multiple paragraphs." When I click the checkbox option on a new blank document it does not let me type next to it, the text cursor appears inside a box including the checkbox, but I cannot type, pressing space only checks the box and tab does nothing; I can double click near the right side of the checkbox and it moves the text cursor way too far away from the box, nearly half way across the page. I've also tried the "Define New Bullet..." option from a bullet list, and used the box symbol which visually creates a proper checklist, but they are not interactive and you cannot check the boxes unless you print the document and do it with a pen. I can add the check box manually, line by line, after typing a list/paragraphs, but pressing enter to the next line does not create another checkbox, the spacing is off requiring me to adjust spacing for each line, and it takes forever.

TLDR: So is there really no way to simply convert an existing list to checkboxes? On Google Docs you can highlight any type of list or text, whether it's just paragraphs or an actual bullet/number list, and when you click the Checkbox option it simply converts the list to an interactive checklist with proper tabbed spacing.

Hi!

I have a 40+ page process document that is broken into each phase of our process. Within it, I reference a variety of documents we use for each phase, sometimes the same doc in multiple phases.

What I would like to do, is create a "References and Resources" table at the end of each section (not tied to that idea, could be at the end of the process doc, but would prefer to be at the end of each section) that would identify where each item is in the document WITHOUT using an index, unless you have a fancy way of using an index. The problem with Index is that it gives a lot of page numbers for each thing I reference and I can't isolate the "first time mentioned in pages x-y" because that would defeat the purpose of being able to find each mention. I don't want to have to read 5 pages to find the 3 mentions within.

It should also make it easy to find each mention and update the document as a whole if one of these supporting items changes or goes away.

Or, at the very least, is there a way of searching for a list of terms and having Word highlight all of the different terms in one fell swoop? My team using 20+ documents throughout our process and I have to find each one in this doc. Tedious. (And yes, we will be process improving this later, but I need a current state now...).

Mail Merge - merge cell and column header, only if containing text?

I’m looking to find a way to make mail merge pull a column header, and content from the relevant row, but only if the cell contains content.

If the cell is empty, I want neither the contents, nor the header to merge. Can anyone offer any advice, please?

Trying to create a fillable form in Word. I'm trying to figure out why I don't have the tools on the Developer tab that the web thinks that I should have...I've added the Developer tab but when the instructions say to click on the Developer tab and find a Controls group with Rich Text Content Control or Plain Text Content Control options to choose, I don't have those options. So that's where I can't move forward with the directions. How do I find the "Controls" group and the other options?

Hey guys, I’ve been accused of using AI to generate a report I submitted for my University course.

I did not use AI, and I’ve been given a 0 for this course unless I can provide proof that I haven’t used AI.

My word history is showing the only time it has been edited is today, when I opened the file to find the history. I’m not connected to OneDrive or anything, and haven’t turned on any edit history function that I am aware of (not sure if it is always on).

Does anyone have any advice of how I can find proof on word that I wrote this report myself? Does Word have some function where I can see previous saves?

I’ve watched some YouTube videos but nothing is showing any previous work….

Thank you kindly in advance.

Yours truly, An extremely desperate student

Hey all, i have a super weird issue. for whatever reason the comment key-bind (alt+ctrl+m) is not working for me in word. All of my other key-binds seem to be working fine and i went so far as to change it to something else and then set it back to the original key-bind to see if that worked. That didn't work, but the alternate key-bind I set did work before i reset the key-binds. tried restarting the app, different keyboards and nothing seems to be working. I'm on windows 11 if that makes any difference. Any ideas what to try next?

usually when using ms word there is a thin blue border that indicates where the margin of the page is, and tables etc can snap to it, alot like on publisher and powerpoint, however after they seem to have disappeared. what setting have i accidentaly changed to make them disappear?
