Inserting another file into a word doc

Upvotes

Hi, I need to insert multiple files (certificates etc) into one word doc for an application, all the files I need to add are PDFs currently but can be converted into word. They have specific watermarks on some of the pages so I really want to avoid a screenshot situation.

Thanks!

How to link an excel table to word for live updates?

2 Upvotes

I’d like to create a table (with both words and numbers in seperate columns) and then have that table in a word document linked so that if there are any changes to the numbers or words in excel; then it will reflect in the word document. Is this possible?

If so, how do you do this?

Thanks!

Maddening problem with TOC page numbers

Upvotes

I am certain it has something to do with the continuous page break that's on page xvi. But the document I'm working on starts with Roman numerals and switches to Arabic numerals; the highest Roman numeral is xvi. Then, at the start of Chapter 1, the pagination resets and we're into Arabic numerals, starting with--you guessed it--the number one.

The problem is that the table of contents says that chapter one starts with page 16--not xvi but 16. And the page number at the bottom of chapter 1 is the number 1.

I'm attaching screenshots from the TOC and of what I imagine is the trouble area, where we have this section break that is probably somehow causing the problem.

I managed to use a bookmark to find a kind of solution, but it does not solve the mystery of what's going on in the first place.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on and/or how to fix it?

need help Help! Graham Mayor’s may to one add in freezing word.

I’ve been using the above add in for a number of tasks for about 3 years now and it has honestly saved me so much time and effort! I’d say it’s saved me up to 20 hours of work each month.
I’ve just been issued a new laptop top and have reinstalled the add in but have found that every time I try to use many to one Word freezes.

I have done everything as I normally would and then when I go the the many to one ribbon and press ‘start merge process’ I get the important user information dialog box (pictured) I click to acknowledge and hide dialog box and then word is just frozen. I can’t do anything with it.

I’ve tried checking if other add ins are running that might be impacting it but I can’t see anything. I’m not super technically minded but I’m not intimidated by following clear instructions if anyone has any ideas I can try.

There’s a task I’ll have to do on Monday that will probably take me around 8hours if I don’t get this sorted!

Quick edit - it did work once, the first time I tried after I got the new laptop.

Applying a style to multiple selected paragraphs

1 Upvotes

To amplify the title, what I want to do is this:

  1. Find all paragraphs which contain a particular word.
  2. Highlight all the paragraphs.
  3. Apply an existing style to them all, simultaneously.

I can do the finding, but the rest is eluding me and I'd be grateful for any thoughts or pointers in the right direction.

Many thanks.
