I have a page of references with numbers.
1. name of article
2. name of article
3. name of article
I want to remove the numbers and have only the names. Plus, across the whole word file I have the references set as numbers as well ([1], [2]) and I want the references across the whole document to be changed to this format
Balila et al. 2003; Marcus and Balila 2005; Fram 2007; Arazy and Fredman 2009
for example.
The number references are linked across the whole document.
any ideas?
Thanks!
I was able to do it with a program called EndNote X7!
Just go to their website and download the 30-day trial
After installing the program, you will have a tab in word's ribbon with the program's name and you will be able to change to any format you need.

It happens when a user inserts a Word Document(Source) into another Word Document(Destination) - auto numbering/bullets didn't work...
I wont to insert text here, and continue auto-numbering of source as it in destination:
Step 1
But it inserting above without auto-numbering:
Step 2
I have an answer from MS that it's a feature of MS Word :(.
So, the question is - is it possible to automatically align the above either by use Word Automation ( via C# , .NET Interop Word APIs )?
I mean to align the source document contents as per the destination document’s Auto-numbering. The same is about Bullets...
Please help - we are open to any suggestions/ recommendations.
Both documents need to have the same style definitions for both the Paragraph Style of the text being copied and also the List Style that organizes the numbering or bullets. Using automation, you can copy styles between the files before actually moving the numbered or bulleted text.
I agree with John.
The basic idea is to use the Define New MultiLevel List Dialog to define a new multilevel list in which each level you would be using is attached to an existing paragraph style. A paragraph style can be attached to only one level in one list. Then use the styles to apply the numbering.
Once you have them set up, you apply the numbering by using the styles, not the numbering controls.
Setting up the numbering linked to styles can seem a bit convoluted. Step-by-step instructions for doing it in Windows can be found here:

For a Mac, John has a page showing the Mac controls to accomplish it.

These describe the only known ways to have consistent numbering in Word in heavily-edited / co-authored documents.
Hello I am writing my bachelor thesis in LibreOffice-Writer (Version: 6.3.6.2) and have a problem with the bibliography.
I have created the corresponding bibliography and can refer to it in the text. But unfortunately the entries in the text are not linked to the entry in the bibliography. So I cannot click in the text on the entry e.g.: [1] to jump to the entry in the bibliography.
Do I really have to link the entries in the text by hand, or does anyone have an idea how to do this automatically.
I am grateful for every suggestion.
I am trying to store and high-light text copied by user when he opens the word file back. When he copies one paragraph, I am able to highlight (I am storing all this copied information for e.g. range values in an XML file) but when he copies content of multiple paragraphs using Ctrl Button, I am unable to get individual range values.
Could you guys help on this?
What you are trying to do is not supported by (the current versions of) Word because programmatic access to discontiguous selection is limited. In particular, you cannot access the different ranges in that selection (you can only the last subrange).
The limitations are listed in detail in this MSDN article:
Limited programmatic access to Word discontiguous selections
I am working with .docx files containing several drawing canvases with images inserted and some lines and arrows drawn in Word 2010. I am using 2010 format with no compatibility mode.
Word inserts an o:gfxdata attribute into each v:shape and v:group element and fills it with ascii encoded something. From what I have read it may be a copy of the VML describing the v:shape or v:group. I don't know if I just don't know what to look for, but I cannot determine what this data is for as its removal has no apparent effect on my ability to read or edit the document in Word 2003, 2007, or 2010.
It does swell the document.xml to almost twice the (apparent) necessary size. This considerably slows OpenTBS' processing so I would like to remove it, if possible. Does anyone know of a way to tell Word 2010 to quit saving this extra data? Or what it is for? I have really struggled to find any documentation on it beyond this post.
Edit:
Here is a sample .docx. The document.xml is ~141KB and OpenTBS takes an average of 10.35 seconds to create a file that includes this as a subtemplate 21 times. If I remove all of the o:ogfxdata attributes, the file size is reduced to ~37KB and OpenTBS takes only 2.99 seconds to produce the same file.
Edit 2:
After further investigation, it appears the removal of the o:gfxdata may cause Word 2003 with an older Compatibilty Pack installed, to object to the file with the following error:
"This is a pre-release version of the Compatibility Pack and can open
pre-release Office 2007 files only. Do you want to check for a newer
version of the Compatibility Pack?"
I have been able to open the file by installing a newer compatibility pack - though it prompts the user about the incompatibility and converts the file in order to open it. This does not damage my file, but it is something to look out for.
Attribute o:ogfxdata is poorly documented in the web.
According to your investigations, it's some kind of compatibility extra information.
You can delete those attributes in your template using OpenTBS.
The cleaning can be done once on your template without any merging, and then save the cleaned template as a new template. Or you can perform the cleaning each time you open the template.
Cleaning the DOCX file:
while ($x = clsTbsXmlLoc::FindStartTagHavingAtt($TBS->Source, 'o:gfxdata', 0) ) {
$x->ReplaceAtt('o:gfxdata', '');
$TBS->Source = str_replace(' o:gfxdata=""', '', $TBS->Source);
}
Note that the class clsTbsXmlLoc is provided with OpenTBS and is undocumented.
The code should work since OpenTBS 1.8.0. (which is currently in stable beta version).
I've noticed that since attributes o:gfxdata are deleted, they do not come back immediately when you edit the docx.
how can we identify notepad files which is created in two computer, is there a any way to get any information about in which computer it was created.Or whether it is build in xp or linux.
If you right click on the file, you should be able to see the permissions and attributes of the file.
Check at the end of the line. Under GNU/Linux lines end with \n (ascii: 0x0A) while under Miscrosoft W$ndos it is \r\n (ascii: 0x0D 0x0A).

for identifying a word document but some of the info is relevant
To see on which computer the document had been created, open the Word
document in a hex editor and look for "PID_GUID". This is followed by
a globally unique identifier that, depending upon the version of Word
used, may contain the MAC address of the system on which the file was
created.
Checking the user properties (as already mentioned) is a good way to
see who the creator of the original file was...so, if the document was
not created from scratch and was instead originally created on another
system, then the user information will be for the original file.
Another way to locate the "culprit" in this case is to parse the
contents of the NTUSER.DAT files for each user on each computer. While
this sounds like a lot of work, it really isn't...b/c you're only
looking for a couple of pieces of information. Specifically, you're
interested in the MRU keys for the version of Word being used, as well
as perhaps the RecentDocs keys."
The one thing I can think on the top of my mind is inspecting the newline characters on your file - I'm assuming your files do have multiple lines. If the file was generated using Windows then a newline would be characterized by the combination of carriage return and line feed characters (CR+LF) whereas a simple line feed (LF) would be a hint that the file was generated in a Linux machine.
Right click one the file--> Details . You can see the computer name where it was created and the date.
