Page numbers aren't updating

Posted: 07 Dec 2012 05:17 AM PST

I have a document that contains a table of contents, header, and page numbers. Currently it is at 10 pages, and when I am on the 10th page, the numbering shows "Page 10 of 10". When I type/Ctrl+Enter to a new page, it shows "Page 11 of 10". There is a page after page 10 that is not part of the numbering, however (section break, I believe), so could that be the problem? Is there a way to fix this?

Static row heights in Word Tables

Posted: 07 Dec 2012 03:40 AM PST

In Word 2002 how do you stop the row height increasing when pressing enter inside a cell when there is no text in the cell. I do not want the row height to change to limit the amount of text that can be entered.

How to know number of lines in a selected text, not part of a table.

Posted: 07 Dec 2012 02:31 AM PST

Is there some way of finding starting line number and ending line number of a selection that is not in a table, or at least the number of lines in that selection.
I used Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) to get the starting line number, but how to get the ending line number?
Even if we can find the number of lines selected, I can add it to the starting line number to get the ending line number.
I can't use Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber) as it works only for tables (it seems).

Works DB not showing many records for a mailmerge. Why?

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 12:43 PM PST

sorry guys - I'm near end of my tether . . I'm trying to do my annual/Christmas address labels and it's seldom troublefree. This year, my underlying data source, a Works database, is showing only a small portion of my 170 records. I've not had this problem before so I'm wondering whether it might be due, as administrator, to recently setting up a password/keeping files 'private' or perhaps because not all records have data in all fields or my .wdb file is corrupt. Any ideas will be appreciated.  I am using XP and preferably Word 2005.

Client unable to edit excel spreadsheet object

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 11:18 AM PST

Hello,

I've been asked to make a word document that includes an excel spreadsheet object for a client, but he's having issues trying to edit the object.

I've successfully managed to create the document including the object, and I'm able to edit it myself perfectly fine. But after I sent it over to the client he says he's unable to do so himself, saying he gets a message saying he doesn't have excel installed (He does have excel installed).

The error code is the following:

"The program used to create this object is Excel.  That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."

I've come to understand that it's a problem on his side because of the following:
  1. I've asked him to shut down all office programs he was using
  2. I then asked him to open up WORD
  3. I then asked him to create an excel spreadsheet object
  4. I asked him if he was able to edit this object, to which he replied he was able to.
  5. I then asked him to save the document, and exit word completely.
  6. I then asked him to start up word again, and load up the document to see if he was then able to edit the object, to which he replied he was not able anymore.
Would anyone know why this could be happening and possibly a way to fix this for him?

Kind regards and thanks in advanced,

Michael.

Using MS Word 2007 to print Christmas card labels. Made the Excel Spreadsheet last year and printed labels just fine. Follow the same process this year and cannot get anything to print.

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 08:34 AM PST

I know the correct spreadsheet is in there because if I go to Edit Recipient List, the correct ones are there. So I make the final step, click "Merge and Finish", and then ask it to print. Only get blank sheets and it thinks each address is a separate page so it tries to pring 30 blank pages.

Formating Table Location in a Numbered List

Avery Templates/Word 2007

problem with text box converting word 2007 to pdf

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 12:24 PM PST

I converted a document from Word 2007 using Adobe Acrobat 9. The document converts but when I look at one of the pages that had 2 pictures on it, only one picture remains on that page.  That particular page has 2 pictures within one text box.

I went back to Word 2003 using Adobe Acrobat 9 and converted the document to pdf from Word 2003 and the document converts correctly with the 2 pictures on the page.

Is 2007 textbox NOT compatible with Word 2003 textbox?

I know a solution probable would be to just put the picture in two separate text boxes but that is not the answer to my question. If I had not double check the pdf file, I never would have known that this was an issue converting text boxes and my document would have gone out minus one picture. Everything else convertted fine.

Thank you for any response. 

How do I update cross references in footnotes?

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 09:40 AM PST

Hello,

 

I have several footnotes in Word that include cross-references to other chapters (numbered items). I know that usually I have to right click on cross references to update them, but this doesn't seem to work in footnotes? When I right click it just doesn't show "update field" as it does when i right click on cross-references in normal test.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this Problem?

 

Thanks, Michael

There is a specialized distribution of Linux made purely for wiping drives

Description from the site:
"Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot floppy that
securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically
and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect,
which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data

What you can do is just burn this CD (or make a floppy image) for the person
who is doing bulk drive wiping and have him connect only the drives he
wishes to have thoroughly wiped to the computer this distribution is booted
on and he can just boot DBAN and hit enter and choose the wipe options and
it does a thorough multi-pass wipe of every single bit of the hard drive.

Partitions

% ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 4096 Mar 1 08:00 /tmp

notice the t at the end. Do not forget to set it.
And clear /tmp if eg. X fails. Just a plain old rm -Rf /tmp/* will clear
all permission problems you had after (incorrectly) copying data. It
is all temporary data anyway.

If you copy data, make sure all permissions are copied as well.

IIRC there is a howto on this subject. Check www.tldp.org

QM_MODULES error on 2.6 kernel

I'm still getting the QM_MODULES error. Unless this isn't a

I think his instructions are too specific. For one thing, I don't
think /etc/rc.sysinit gets run on my system. The reason I say that is
because when I modify /etc/rc.sysinit, I'm still able to use my
system. When make the modifications to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit my system
goes to hell. It doesn't seem to like the fact that proc is not being
mounted.

Right now I'm using 2.6.3 and my system is usable. The only
problem is that modules don't load automatically.

Correct, yes. But mirroring the swap partition is pretty useless.
 

I'd stgrongly suggest splitting up your / partition a bit
further. At least, create separate /usr and /home partitions,
for to be able to safely repair parts of your filesystem in
case of problems. While a RAID is fine, it doesn't cover
all kinds of possible errors. I just lost a perfectly
running system due to the fact that one of my
mirror drives died in the middle of a kernel update -
causing corruption on _both_ drives simultaneously. Ouch.

I could at least save all of my important data
on the various md* devices by using a third disk as
intermediate file repository and mounting the partitions
one by one manually. And I had a backup, of course.
No fun, though. And it took me 2 days to get everything
back working again.

No. There's no gain in using the Promise card - it's just
an additional IDE card with _NO_ HW-Raid functionality at all.
Contrary to what Promise claims, it's pure software-RAID.

Add vim icon to KDE panel

Posted: 25 Feb 2004 03:46 PM PST

On 25 Feb 2004 15:46:13 -0800, TCMa <ca>: 

Here's a trick that you can use over and over again, without having to
understand those complicated icon thingies. Click on the kterm icon
(looks like a computer display monitor). That opens up a window that
gives you direct access to any program on your system! In that
window, type "vi" and press the Enter key; now you're in vi, and you
didn't even need to use a mouse to start it!

You can do that with a lot of programs on your system - try it! Just
leave that kterm window open all the time, and you'll always be able
to start anything! If the program you want to start up is a GUI
program, just append a "&" after the program name, and you'll still be
able to use the kterm to start other stuff! Best of all, now you can
tell your friends you know what to do with a command line interface,
and you don't need no steenking mouse to do things!

I get the same problem with xp the way i get around it, is this.
I install win 98 then install suse then i do a upgrade to win xp.
Works every time, but be warned if you first install suse with lilo
then reinstall with grub i found xp will crash hope this helps!!
But if you reinstall with the same boot loader you will get no problems
or you could install the boot loader to floppy disk.

How to add an fstab entry?'s a cool scene! Dig it!
 

You have to create a mount point for your disk/device to be mounted
on. This mount point must be an actual directory that actually exists,
otherwise this won't work. You did create the directories to use as
mount moints, didn't you? If not, then do so. For example, if you want
the Thumbdrive mounted on /mnt/thumb, then issue the following command
before trying to mount it:

md /mnt/thumb

Simple, huh? :)
 

It's possible, but try the above first.
