It comes out like that instead of pages and idk how to fix it. Margin is normal, it's in portrait, A4, column is 1. I can easily just fix it but change it back to normal by switching the column to 2 and then back to 1 but it goes back to a whole white screen whenever I exit it.

doing a school assignment and very confused on how to access images. the instructions say

"Use the Insert Picture dialog box to insert the Logo-04 picture downloaded from the Resources link."

very unsure on what this means. the word file is downloaded from the assignment but i don't see any resources anywhere? any help is appreciated!

I cannot for the life of me figure out why my text keeps readjusting and it keeps happening in all my docs to the point where I'm at my wits end. I type. Words make it all the way to the margins. I press enter. The text moves to the side. I take the time readjust my paragraphs so it looks like the original pic. I save the document. I open it up later and everything shifts. I hit enter. everything shifts. Mr. Gates why must you harm me so

More specifically for the pictures above, in the line "Lecture 10" the word infection does make it all the way to the margins, but when I press enter the text realigns and I now have huge gaps in my text that make the formatting look off. I haven't changed any settings on my Word aside from turning off orphan text (and toggling it on and off doesn't affect anything anyways). In theory I don't think I should have to change the margins of my docs given that shouldn't be affecting it either (it's at default for paper margins). I'm kinda at a loss for words at this point since I haven't had this issue before.

Excuse me everyone i urgently need help, how i type this into my Microsoft word? Help would be appreciated thanks

Hello, anyone know how to add page number at current position on a Mac? The option is greyed out for me and I need the option for an assignment.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there is a way you can see a history of all approved/rejected changes when using Word Online? I know you can see different versions of a document through Version History, but I would like to know if I could have access to these approved/rejected changes through a specific button? (I currently have track changes on) Thank you!

Hi there,

I know you are able to make reactive tables on Microsoft Excel, but was wondering if this was possible on Word.

I am not sure if reactive is the correct word. But being able to sort the table by column A - alphabetically, and then using the same table can choose to sort by column B by ascending order. Or choosing to only show group D and E, while hiding F etc.

For the project I am needing it for, it would be easier for it to be in a word document, but also understand that this might only be possible on Excel.

I have tried adding the data on word by inserting table and then clicking Excel sheet, but is not user friendly. I am thinking Excel might be the way to go but wanted to check with people who are a bit more familiar with the Microsoft suite than I am. TIA

I'm getting a message on my MS office files that says "activate Microsoft 365 to create and edit". I can't save any of my files anymore. The reason is that support for office 2021 is over. unfortunately, that's the license I have. So I'm trying onlyoffice. so far so good.

I paid for a copy of Word several years ago in order not to have to keep paying rent on the app. Today I stopped being able to copy, paste, save documents or otherwise work with my program. At the top of my word page when I open a document I see 'Activate Microsoft 365 to Create and Edit'. I do not want Microsoft 365. I only want the Word program I paid for to work again. I contacted Microsoft support and they told me to uninstall the program and reinstall another one. It didn't work. Now I have no Word, a program I paid for. I was on the computer with Microsoft support for over two hours and still didn't get a soloution. In the end they told me they are having a problem with Mac 2021 and to try again in 24 hours. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Did you find a solution? Oh yeah, I use Macintosh.

first pic is screenshot of the part in google docs site and second is when opened in word? Anyone know how to fix? Thanks!

Never had any issues before. Now I'm getting duplicate docs, files not saving, file not found, etc. WTF is going on?

I want to print without borders and I don't know how.

Everything was going along fine with my older Dell laptop, but now, suddenly, for no apparent reason, when I clicked into a document to work on it, nothing. It was as if it ignored the keyboard. But the keyboard was fine if I wanted to type into the search box. On the document, I could page-down, but the cursor wouldn't even show.

Then I saw something on the bottom:
This modification is not allowed because the document is opened for viewing only.
But I opened it normally, not "Read Only." And it has affected ever single doc in there!

There had been nothing unusual beforehand, except that the laptop had accidentally been left on for an unusually long period, overnight. I checked all the options on the tool bar to see if there was anything relevant I could click on, in case I'd hit something by mistake, but no. I tried the re-boot thing anyway, to see if it would help, but no.

Have you ever heard of this happening?

Hi there, im facing this problem and it is unsolvable after an hour. I have tried using the internet but the error remains same.

Hi all, hoping someone's hit this before.

I was working on a large Word document stored on SharePoint/OneDrive for work. My best theory is that AutoSave got switched off partway through, possibly tied to an internal update on sensitivity labelling, and around the same time, a Windows update forced my computer to restart. Together that seems like exactly the kind of situation that could cause recent edits to be lost, since AutoSave off plus an unexpected restart is close to a worst-case combination.

When I came back to the document, a significant chunk of recent work (roughly 20 hours' worth) was simply missing, and the version in SharePoint version history doesn't include it either.

What I've already checked:
• SharePoint version history - no version contains the missing content.
• Word's AutoRecover file location (set to C:\Temp) - nothing relevant found.
• Windows %TEMP% folder - searched for .asd, .wbk, and tilde-dollar owner files, nothing found.
• Word's Recover Unsaved Documents option (File > Info > Manage Document).
• The "when I closed without saving" version under Manage Document.
• Office Document Cache folder - found but looked old/unrelated.

Has anyone recovered lost Word content in a situation like this, where AutoSave was off and a forced restart hit mid-session? Specifically interested in:

• Any lesser-known local cache/recovery locations for Word on Windows.  
• Whether a Windows Update forced restart leaves behind any recoverable Office session data.  
• Whether OneDrive sync logs can ever reveal an orphaned local version.  
• Any tools people have used to find "ghost" Word temp files that don't show up in a normal search.

Any pointers appreciated, this was a lot of work to lose.

I’ve had a new issue crop up in the last several weeks that is extremely annoying. (Microsoft Word, Windows 11).

If I have a document View setting set to Page Width, and I try to resize the app window horizontally, the document will start to scroll until it reaches wherever the cursor is. So if the cursor is still on page one, but I scrolled down to page 10, and then attempt to resize the window, it will scroll back up to page one.

This appears to be happening because of some document specific setting that is common to almost all of my documents. It does not happen on completely newly created documents. But I can’t figure out what the setting is to to make it stop happening on old documents. And most of the documents I work with on a daily basis are either old documents or copies of old documents or their templates. It is not feasible to create a fresh new document for every single thing I do.

I’ve tried googling it, but none of the suggested fixes have fixed the problem.

I have looked online, but cannot find an answer. Can someone here help please? I have tried closing and reopening Word, I have tried clearing text formatting for the entire document, I have tried entering in vaues in different ways and yet nothing works. No matter what I do, the margins appear completely blank and no matter how I enter values, this error message comes up. Currently for these screenshots I have ctrl+A to select all the text in the document to ensure there isn't a random different value somewhere, but that shouldn't prevent me from changing the margins anyway. Or at least it never has before....

had this idea that I could just get my recording into text, drop it into Word and clean everything up from there. Yeah... not quite 😂
I’ve got a couple longer recordings sitting there now and I really don’t wanna type the whole thing out myself. I don’t mind fixing mistakes afterward, I just want something decent to start with.
For those who do this in Word, how do you usually handle the recording part?
