Adjust List Indents function in Microsoft Word 2007 not working once the list goes past 10.
For heading 09 I open the Adjust List Indents function (By right clicking) and set the "Text Indent at" value to .05. This works. However for every heading after 10 following the exact same steps does not work.
This is not an indent issue, its the alignment in your numbering style. Take some time to study this:
http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/NumberAlignment2007.htm#NumberedLists
A related MS Word skill which will leverage your efforts by an order of magnitude is to learn how to define custom List Styles and assign them to custom Paragraph Styles. There is a very good tutorial here:
http://shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/numbering20072010.html
and the analagous bullet list version:
http://shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets20072010.html
I would add one level of efficiency to those tutorials:
You don't need to create a Paragraph Style for each list/bullet level. You only need to assign a Paragraph Style to the first level. When the Paragraph Style is applied to text, the List Style will be applied correctly to all levels based on the indentation of the list items.

How can I change the delimiter in case of multiple authors (preferably) in the visual CSL editor.
Currently, the inline citation is as follows:
(Hawking 1966; Nußholz & Whalen 2019)
What I want is to replace & with ,:
(Hawking 1966; Nußholz, Whalen 2019)
I cannot find the respective field in the visual code editor. When searching through the code in the code editor, I found &only four times and I think none of the instances is related to what I want to change.
I've also tried to place the following code (as explained here) into my style but it is not working:
<names variable="author">
<name form="short" delimiter="/"/>
..
</names>
It's a little hard to answer this without seeing the style in questions, but in basic terms what you need to do is to completely remove and="symbol" from the name element for the in text citation.
In the visual editor, you'd click on the names of the in-text citation at the top right, then click on "Name" at the top left, and then in the bottom right find "and" (the second from the top under "Name" and set it from symbol to empty.
In using OfficeR to generate MS Word documents, is there a means to control how much space appears on the page between paragraphs? Successive calls to body_add_par() insert space between which is too wide for my purpose. I can't find any reference to controlling this in officer.pdf or in the README.
What am I missing?
Inter-paragraph spacing in Word is controlled by the .SpaceBefore and .SpaceAfter settings. For example:
With Selection
With .ParagraphFormat
.SpaceBefore = 6
.SpaceAfter = 6
End With
End With
Ideally, though, you'd apply these to a Style definition (once), then apply that Style to the paragraphs concerned.
We use TinyMCE as the wysiwyg editor for our content builder. You can drag and drop a text module and once you click an edit button an TinyMCE instance will open. This works really well.
Problem is now that the builder is made for designers so a lot of the times you add a text module just for a 1 word heading or other cases where you only have one block. (one h1, one p etc.) You can also see this behavior in the official demos: Just add an lonely h2 heading, select all text and start to write.
Now Tiny MCE has the default behavior that if you select the complete text (which is almost always the case if you for example change an 1 line / word heading) and you start typing you will lose your formats completely. ( in our case: color, font-size, font-weight, line-height etc.)
This makes editing an heading for example really painful. Best workaround so far is to leave 1 character to not lose the format and then delete the character in the end.
I never saw that behavior in other editors so my question is: Is there maybe an easy setting or workaround to avoid this?
If there are situations where you want a root element to be something specific (e.g. <h2>) you can use the forced_root_block setting on that instance of TinyMCE to force a specific element:
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-filtering/#forced_root_block
Even if you delete all text the new text will be wrapped with that root element. See this TinyMCE Fiddle for examples:

I think this would address your one line issue?
Using Visual Studio 2013 Community and Windows 7.
Left, right and centre align work fine, but PFA_JUSTIFY and PFA_FULL_INTERWORD do not.
They both align to the left. From my understanding Justify should insert spaces on lines so that the paragraph fills the available screen area, i.e. each line in the paragraph should start at the left-hand side and end at the right-hand side.
MSDN says PFA_JUSTIFY does not work and acts like left-align in richedit version 2. I read that
PFA_FULL_INTERWORD is available in richedit version 3 (cannot remember where).
I checked richedit.h and found that PFA_JUSTIFY and PFA_FULL_INTERWORD are both defined as constant value 4. Is that a mistake or are they synonyms?
I need Justify for some applications.
What do I need to do?
It's been a long time since I used this, but RichEdit 3 will do full justification with PFA_FULL_INTERWORD, but only if "advanced typography options" have been turned on with another call: assuming a C-like language, make sure you call
SendMessage(hRichEditWnd,EM_SETTYPOGRAPHYOPTIONS,
TO_ADVANCEDTYPOGRAPHY,TO_ADVANCEDTYPOGRAPHY);
when initializing the RichEdit control. See the MSDN article on EM_SETTYPOGRAPHYOPTIONS for more information.
When I make a change of style (Font or Paragraph) for a selection of text (example: change the font or text orientation of the selected line), Microsoft Word 2013 apply this change for the whole document in an illogical way.
To fix this issue I need to press 'redo (Ctrl-z)' and word 2013 apply the new style to the text I selected only (it's okay now) but I need to do it every time!
This process has become stressful for me and for my computer CPU especially if I edit a large document because Word 2013 change the style for the whole document.
I never had this problem with Word 2010 or 2007.
If you are applying style from "Style" group of "Home" ribbon, then application of these styles are based on "Style type:" e.g:
1) Paragraph
2) Character
3) Linked (Paragraph and Character)
4) Table
5) List
So, it depends which type of style you are applying and by default it apply on complete target.
The easiest way to save working of CPU and eliminating the stress, is to apply format using "Font" group of "Home" ribbon and if you rapidly use same formatting on different part of document then you can use Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V command to copy only formatting of one text to another.
