I am filling out a form in MS Word and the fields are in design mode. I want to be able to click on the drop-down box, but it doesn't do anything.

The menus and filename are restored, but the window is left in full-screen mode.

I don't think you can stop excel from recalculating that single cell. But when I want to do something like this, I'd enter the 'formula' as a string by including characters (that make a unique prefix). Then after all the formula strings are entered, I'd do the equivalent of an Edit Replace and let excel recalculate. I'd use something like: $$$$$=sum(4,5) for the formula string And then edit replace $$$$$= with = replace all Sometimes, it's better to switch to R1C1 reference style and use formulas written that way. Then change back to A1 reference style (if necessary) after the edit replace.

The workaround for this is to set the level (in Tools > Macro > Security) to Medium and click the Enable button in the warning dialog every time the document is opened. So: - What kind of controls and/or fields are in the document? - If they're form fields (only), use Tools > Protect Document or the lock icon to protect the form. - If they're ActiveX controls (only), click the Design Mode button in the toolbox to turn it off, save the document, and set the security level to enable macros. - If the user has mixed the two kinds of controls, you may have to do both things.

Cheap solution: Undo If you haven't had a chance to disable an automatic feature (or you want to leave it enabled and override it only occasionally), remember that pressing Ctrl+Z or clicking the Undo button right after Word makes a change will undo that action. So, for instance, if Word inserts a smart apostrophe where you want to retain the straight character to denote measurement, just hit Undo to straighten it back out. The annoyances Behavior How to turn it off #1: Word creates a hyperlink when you type a Web page address.

We have also experienced how Windows loads with minimal functionality when in safe mode. The idea behind such a setup is to allow the user to debug and fix issues in the machine that are stopping it from booting normally. Now, did you know that the MS Office suite has a safe mode of its own? Yes, it’s different from the Windows Safe Mode. However, the fundamentals remain the same and it allows you to do with Office applications what Windows Safe Mode allows you to do with Windows. Again, the idea here is to start Office programs that have run into issues (and are not starting normally) so that you may debug and fix them. Cool Tip: Firefox users may find it intriguing to learn about the and how it can help.

The “read-only mode” is a protected mode for documents that prevents changes from being made to a document in any layout for security purposes. The “Read Mode” is for changing the layout of a document for better and easier viewing. To activate “Read Mode” for the current document, click the “View” tab. In the “Views” section of the “View” tab, click “Read Mode”. NOTE: You can also activate “Read Mode” by clicking the book icon on the right side of the status bar at the bottom of the Word window.

You may not notice this if the window is not wide enough. You can change the width of these columns by selecting “Column Width” from the “VIEW” menu, and then selecting “Narrow” or “Wide”. The color of the page in “Read Mode” is white, by default.

Unfortunately, though, Live Layout falls short of its promise. Many Word 2013 users report that images sometimes don't stay where they're put—and occasionally jump to another page entirely. There's no easy solution to this problem, unfortunately. Drag an image around long enough, and eventually it settles down where you want it to be—most of the time. Some users are avoiding this capricious behavior by reverting to an older version of Word, but we can't say that this expedient qualifies as a fix.

If so, it will ask you first and then do what’s needed. User-Initiated Safe Mode When the automated safe mode cannot do enough, you must resort to the user-initiated safe mode.

In this article, I’m going to show you that how to design template with. There are thousands of online template on the office template section but you can create your own template as well. So Microsoft Word is a big and amazing Program of Microsoft which allows you to create different formats of documents like Word Document, Word Macro-Enabled Document, Word 97-2003 Document, Word Macro-Enabled Template, Word 97-2003 Template, Word Template, PDF, XPS view, Single File Web Page, Web Page, Web Page Filtered, Rich Text Format, Plan Text Format, Word XML Document, Word 2003 XML Document and etc. Today I will be converging on layout instrument to create a Boo’s Template.

Just been playing and you could try this. When selecting the sheet, put the name of the sheet in a public var, then start an application.ontime to check each second whether the active sheet name is different to this var, if so the ontime call turns design mode off, if not then retains design mode (your exisiting code). Just tried a quick demo in design in VB IDE and In Design on the Ribbon and seems like it will work. Something like Sub EnterExitDesignMode(bEnter As Boolean) Dim cbrs As CommandBars Const sMsoName As String = 'DesignMode' Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1), 'TIMER_TEST' Set cbrs = Application.CommandBars If Not cbrs Is Nothing Then If cbrs.GetEnabledMso(sMsoName) Then If bEnter cbrs.GetPressedMso(sMsoName) Then cbrs.ExecuteMso sMsoName Stop End If End If End If End Sub Public Sub TIMER_TEST() If ActiveSheet.Name = strSheetName Then EnterExitDesignMode True Else End If End Sub You'll need to put the sheet name in a hidden sheet, as the variable gets dropped.

That feature is still available, but you can no longer choose to have Word correct the misspelled word fixed automatically every time you accidentally type it. Microsoft says that this omission reduces 'clutter in the spelling error context menu” and thus helps users find popular commands faster, as well as fitting the menu on the screen much better. (Somewhat surprisingly, Word treats New Comment and Hyperlink as more popular commands than AutoCorrect for the spelling error context menu.) Regrettably, Microsoft also removed this option from the new spelling task pane. The Dictionary is dead To look up a word from within Word 2013, you must first have downloaded a dictionary app and second be connected to the Internet.

Turning design mode on or off There is no command in the Word object model to turn design mode on or off. We can toggle the mode with ActiveDocument.ToggleFormsDesign.

Not many of my professors have told me specifically to use the Notebook Layout, but I feel like it is the easiest way to take notes on a computer.” Using Notebook for audio notes Madison Smith, a sophomore English literature major, considers herself a traditionalist when it comes to writing notes. She prefers to do it by hand. However, Notebook View appeals to her because of its audio feature. With the Notebook View, users have the option to record audio notes to accompany their written notes. “I started using Notebook View because I took a class that was very lecture and discussion-based,” Smith said. “A lot of times it was hard to keep up by hand writing notes, so this allowed me to type notes and record the class so I could go back and listen again.” The audio notes were extremely beneficial for Smith during her Media Writing course last semester. As a student in a class that heavily relies on students to attend speakers and write articles, Smith liked the audio feature, so she could get accurate quotes and keep up with the information during lengthy speeches.

Harry, Sorry to post here, but trying to find out if you even got an answer to the following: From tech-archive.net, 'Harry Sauers' wrote: When using (Office 2007 SP1) Word 2007 content controls, specifically nested group content controls, I have noticed that usually the content controls have triangles/arrows within the visible tags of the control as shown in Design Mode (Word Developer tab > Design Mode toggled on). Sometimes I have noticed these controls do not show these triangles/arrows within their beginning and ending tags. I have noticed these arrows disappearing from nested content controls (content controls contained within a group content control) when whitespace (space, newline, etc) is added or removed from the area of the document near the contained content control and within the same parent group content control. When the group content control does not have these arrows, I have noticed that it behaves differently than when it does have these arrows. For example, I have noticed that once these arrows are no longer visible on a nested group content control that a new paragraph (ENTER/hard return) cannot be inserted within the group content control.
