How To Removing Email address from MicrosoftWord text
A Word uses the < and > symbols to mean something specific in its search and replace operation. In the normal find and replace, you can use < and > to mark the start and end of a word alongside the character to stand for any set of letters.If you had <M*y> you could find Many, Mystery May and so on. This is awkward when the text you’re searching for is in triangular brackets.
Its fiddly to do a find and replace using Words standard Find/Replace option, so one alternative is to use a macro. First select the block of text containing the names and email addresses. If you had Jose Jhon <Jose.Jhon@ourco.co.uk>, Duck Donlad <Duck.Donald@ourco.co.uk you’d select just that block of text within your document. Running the macro would convert it to, Jose Jhon Duck Donald. The macro looks like this:
Sub removeeadd()
D1m 1Count. 1Count2 AS Integer
D1m strText. strText2 As String
strText — Selectlon.Text
strText2 — ""
1Count — 1
Do While 1Count <— Len(strText)
If Mid(strText. 1Count. 1) Like
"<" Then
·start of an email address
1Count2 — 1Count + 1
Do While Mid(strText. 1Count2. 1)
<> ">"
1Count2 — 1Count2 + 1
Loop
1Count — 1Count2 + 1
Else
strText2 — strText2 +
Mid(strText. 1Count. 1)
1Count — 1Count + 1
End If
Loop
Selection.TypeText (strText2)
End Sub
Word VBA has lots of sophisticated ways to carry out search and replace, but most aren’t available in this case; the string we want to replace starts with < and ends with >, and that confuses the Find/Replace options. The macro consists of two loops one within another. The outer loop moves through the selected text one character at a time looking for a < character. Each time a character that isn’t<is found, it is added to a new string. In our example, the loop would find M,then i,then c,then k,and so on, and by the time the < is found, the second string would contain Jose John. Once a < is found, the inner loop moves through the text one character at a time until a> is found, signalling the end of the email address.
This completes that run of the inner loop.We’re back in the outer loop until the next < is found. When the last line of the macro is reached, the current text selection is replaced by the second string using:
Selection.TypeText (strText2)

How To Fix Page numbers aren't working in MicrosoftWord solved
This should work in Word 2010, and you can always insert a page number field directly using Alt-Shift-P. However, the problem is probably with a special file that Word uses, called the building blocks file. The problem can appear with Word 2007 or Word 2010. In each case, you need to find the file that's causing the problem and rename it, and then Word will recreate it. First, check whether the Building Blocks template is disabled in the Word Options dialog box and, if it is, make sure it is enabled. From the File menu, choose Options. Click on Add-Ins, and check the list of disabled items. If you see a reference to Building Blocks.dotx, enable it, then exit and restart Word, and see if this helps.
If this doesn't help, you'll need to work directly on the Building Blocks template. Shut down Word and look for one of the following files. If you're using Windows XP, look in
C:\ Documents and Seftings\<your usernarne>\ Application Data\Microsoft\ Document Building Blocks\1033\ Building Blocks.dotx.
If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, look in
C:\Users\<your usernarne>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033 \Building Blocks.dotx.
Rename the Building Blocks.dotx file as Blocks.old. You should see a second file in this location called Built-In Building Blocks.dotx. Right-click on this and, in the pop-up menu that appears, choose Properties, General. While in this tab, make sure the 'Hidden' option is not selected. Restart Word, and you should now find that you are able to insert page numbers.

How To Design or print a postcard using text editor itself in MicrosoftWord
Not only can one buy postcards but also create and print them using Word itself. We are using Word 2013 this time. The individual functions may be arranged or named something else under other versions. First design the back of the postcard. In Word, go to the “Layout” tab and you will find all the required options under the category “Page setup”. First, select the postcard size “A6” under “Size”. Select “Landscape” format for the “Orientation”. Select “Narrow” for “Margins”. Now, only the rows for the address are missing. Go to the tab “Insert” and select four rows under “Table”. Reduce the table to the desired size and place it at the correct position. You will find the option “Borders” under the “Paragraph” category under the “Start” tab. Remove the left and right borders of the table and there will be four rows remaining. If you wish to create a field for the postal stamp, then this can also be done using a table. Simply use a table for it with only one row and one column.

How To Embed pictures in Microsoft Word
Word 2010 has altered the way you work with images. You can still see the links to image files in Word 2010. From the File menu, choose Info. At the bottom of the right-hand pane, you’ll see Edit Links to Files. If you click on this, you’ll see a Break Link button, but many people say this has no effect. It does work in our copy of Word 2010 if we tick the box labelled ‘Save picture in document’. However, if you’ve broken the links in a document once in Word 2010, the Edit Link to Files option disappears from the Info box.
In Word 2010, when you choose Insert, Picture, Link to File, an InlineShape of the type wdInlineShapeLinkedPicture is inserted. In Word 2003 and earlier, you got a field of the type IncludePicture, and you could work with this by revealing the field codes using Alt-F9.
Luckily, there are a few ways around this problem. First, if you’re still in Word 2007 and make heavy use of this option, think twice before upgrading. The second option is to change the default type of the document you save in Word 2010. As in Word 2007, you can change the default file type to be Word 2003 compatible. If you do this, Word 2010 changes the way it embeds the image and goes back to using the old IncludePicture field type. You can change the default document type to be Word 2003 compatible by choosing Options from the File menu. Choose Save from the panel at the left and set the ‘Save files in this format’ box as ‘Word 97-2003 document’.
If you don’t want to do this (or can’t), you can alter the way images are inserted. Don’t choose Insert, Picture. Use Insert, Quick Parts, Field, IncludePicture. This inserts the picture in the old way as a field. You can use Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes and change the images to be embedded rather than linked. If you’re working with other people’s files that have images inserted in the ‘wrong’ way, you can break the links using a macro like this:
Sub breaklinks()
With ActiveDocument
For i = .Fields.Count To 1 Step -1
If .Fields(i).Type =
wdFieldIncludePicture Then
.Fields(i).Unlink
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
The macro is quite simple. It looks through all the fields in the document, starting at the end (fields.count), and if the field type is wdFieldIncludePicture, the field is Unlinked. It’s important that the loop goes from the last field in the document to the first the act of unlinking the picture removes the field code so there is one fewer field and the loop runs out of fields to check if it counts upwards.
How To Use the Wikipedia app in MicrosoftWord
Did you know you can add ‘apps’ to Office 2013? These can bolster your Office programs with all kinds of extra features. One of our favourites is the Wikipedia app, which lets you insert text and images directly from the website to your Word documents.
Click the Insert tab, then in the Apps section click Store. If you can see Wikipedia listed in the Apps section, it means your version of Office came came with it pre-installed. If not, in the ‘Apps for Office’ window, type wikipedia in the search bar, click Add next to the Wikipedia search result (with the ‘W’ icon). then click Trust It.
The Wikipedia icon will now appear in the Apps section of Word (see screenshot). Click it to see a pane on the right of your document displaying Wikipedia content. This pane works similarly to the website, assuming you have an Internet connection. Type your search term in the search bar, press Enter and browse the results.
You can filter results by ‘sections’, ‘images’or ‘references’. If you want to add an image from Wikipedia to your document, click move your cursor over an image, then click the ‘ +’ symbol. To add text, click ‘section’, highlight the text you want to add, then click the ‘+’ symbol that appears when you highlight it.

How To Switch to full screen editing in MicrosoftWord
Fortunately, it’s also possible to have Microsoft Word hide most or all of its screen furniture, though in some versions this involves using the mouse to choose a menu option itself a distraction. we will explain how to switch to a full-screen-editing mode in all versions of Word from 2003 onwards. Where necessary, we’ll also show how to use keyboard shortcuts so the switch can be made without interrupting the typing flow.
THERE’S NO TRICKERY REQUIRED TO switch to a full-screen view in any version of Word. In Word 2003. for example, open the View menu and choose Full Screen: instantly. ah the surrounding control paraphernalia will disappear. to be replaced by a full-screen editing view. To return to the previous view either click the Close Full Screen button in the floating toolbar (if visible) or just press the Escape (Esc) key on the keyboard.
THE SAME FULL-SCREEN VIEW is available in later versions of Word. though tor reasons known only to Microsoft it’s not so easy to find. First, click the down- pointing arrow at the top of the Word window to open the Quick Access toolbar. Choose More Commands from the dropdown menu and, at the dialogue box. ensure Customize is selected on the left and choose Commands Not in the Ribbon below the ‘Choose commands from’ heading. Now scroll down the list to find the Toggle Full Screen View entry. click to select it and click the Add button. Click OK to close the dialogue box. A Full Screen View button will appear on the Quick Access toolbar at the top. Just click this to switch to full-screen view. As with Word 2003, clicking Escape (Esc) on the keyboard will return to the previous view.
How To Backup lost Your MicrosoftWord files
This is something it’s all too easy to do, unfortunately. Our guess is that when you saved during the day, you just pressed Save, and didn’t specify a filename and location, so you saved your changes into the temporary file you downloaded. First, check whether the file is in your Temporary Internet Files folder. As you’re using Internet Explorer, you can view these files by opening Internet Explorer and selectingInternet Options from the Tools menu. On the General Tab, look under Browsing history and click the Settings button. View the files by clicking View files in the dialog that appears, and you’ll also see the location the files are stored. If you find the file you’d worked on, open it and save it under a new name.
If you’re prone to losing work in Word, make sure you’ve turned on the option to create backups of documents. If you’re using Word 2007 or 2010, turn this option on from the Microsoft Office Button. Click Word Options, then choose Advanced. Scroll through the list of options until you get to the Save section. Make sure the ‘Always create backup copy’ option is selected and, if it isn’t selected, select it now. To do the same in Word 2003, select the Tools menu and click Options. In the dialog box that appears, you’ll find the ‘Always create backup copy’ option on the Save tab. If you discover the option to create backup copies is selected, do a search for files that.
How To Recover MicrosoftWord documents that won’t open
There are few things more frustrating than being unable to open a file that contains important information, or finding that when you do open the document it contains a load of gobbledygook. Rather than tearing your hair out, try repairing the file using Word’s built-in recovery tools. Click the Office logo (or File if you’re using an older version of Office), then Open and locate the corrupt document. Click the arrow next to the Open button and choose ‘Open and Repair’ from the menu. If this doesn’t fix the problem, try clicking the arrow next to ‘All Word documents’ in the Open dialogue box, choose ‘Recover Text from Any File’ and select the unreadable document. Word will then convert and try to recover the text from the damaged file.
If that doesn’t work either, and you’re using Windows 7 or later, right-click the document, choose Properties and select the Previous Versions tab. This lists older copies of the file that have been backed up by System Restore. Select an entry and click Open, and it should open in Word without any problems, although you’ll lose any data you entered after that version was saved. Note that System Restore needs to be turned on for this to work. If none of Word’s built-in tools proves effective, try uploading the corrupt file
to OfficeRecovery’s online repair tool for Word documents (online.officerecovery.com/word). Just click
‘Choose file’ to select the troublesome item (it needs to be in DOC, DOCX, DOCM or RTF format), then click ‘Secure Upload and Repair’ to recover the data and save it to a new Word document. Now comes the catch: to download the repaired file straight away, you’ll need to pay £6.45. You can see a free ‘demo’ version to find out whether the fix has worked, although this is usually limited to a few, partially obscured pages. Alternatively, you can sign up with OfficeRecovery for a free repair, although you’ll have to wait two
weeks to get your salvaged file. You can also recommend the service on your Facebook page, website or blog to get a discount code you can redeem against one free job.
