Office RT for Surface - MAPI error when trying to send a word document as email attachment from Word

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 12:52 AM PST

I'm trying to figure out how to send a word document as an email directly from Word RT on my Surface.. Navigating to that option is easy, but when I try to do it I get an unspecified MAPI error and it fails. I guess I haven't set up an email address to be associated with Word? But I already have both a Gmail and an outlook account set up on the surface. I can't figure out how to add an email account to Word or whatever it's asking me to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have an document that is in a format or template. I want to convert it to a dotx template.. How can I do that

My "normal.dotm" is corrupt.

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 06:24 PM PST

Hello: I've been struggling with changing the default formatting in Word 2010 for a few days.  I've been given lots of advice from the help community and I've tried it all.  Nothing has worked.  Finally this evening I went into my folder options and set everything back to default settings and, at long last, I was able to locate "normal.dotm". 

Following steps recommended by Microsoft, I tried to open/edit "normal.dotm" through word.  I was given a message that the file is corrupted.  I've read some of the ideas of how to stop corruption in the future, but that doesn't help me as my file is already corrupt.  What can I do?  Is there a file I can download to replace the corrupted "normal.dotm"?

I can't imagine what I did to corrupt it; the first thing I did, after my computer was delivered, was to use Word and try to change the defaults. 

I need to find a way to replace my corrupt "normal.dotm" file.  Since I haven't done much with word since I got this new computer, because I've spent all my time trying to get the defaults changed, so I've no clue how this file became corrupt.  I think it must have arrived corrupt, because the first thing I did, the first day, was try to change the default formatting in word and it did not work on that first day.

Please someone at Microsoft, please help.

Thank you. Rosemary

How to preserve formatting in header when updating fields

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 01:34 PM PST

I have prepared a number of forms in Word 2007.  To create some of the input fields, I have used the Text Form Field function under Legacy Forms in the Controls group under the Developer tab.  I have formatted the font in these fields as Verdana 10 black.

 

I want some of these input fields to appear as information in the header of the form, so have given each of these input fields a "Bookmark" name in the Text Form Field Options diaglog box.  I have then inserted the fields I want into the header of the form using the CTRL+F9 shortcut.  I want the font in the header to display as Verdana 8 blue, so have created a style for this.

 

To activate the form function, I protected the document.

 

My problem is that when the fields in the header are updated (calculated on exit, which I usually do with a page preview), the font style reverts to Verdana 10 black instead of staying as Verdana 8 blue.  Sometimes, the formatting does seem to be preserved for the first word or two, but is not maintained after about the thrid word.

 

I am using Windows XP Professional Version 2002.

Please help. I have been searching for days ... I can not find any document named "normal.???" there is no Normal.anything

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 12:43 PM PST

I have word 2010.  I have been searching, following all the tips that I can find, doing what is suggested and no matter what I do, no matter where I go (using word or using explorer) I can not find a file that is called "normal." no normal.anything.

I need to change the defaults in word or I shall go mad.  I HATE the defaults that came with this new software.

I have used word and tired to open templates; there is no "normal." under any of the folders.

I've used explorer to follow the tree to templates; there is no "normal." under any of the folders.  In fact, using this method, I don't even have a file that starts with an "n".

 

Please, please, please help.

thank you.

Why does Office10 mso.dll file get installed on an Office11 system?

Posted: 27 Apr 2004 10:11 PM PDT

> There was nothing to rev. Office 2003 is the only version of Office that
was 

Actually, I meant on our side of the fence. Some Office 10 components
didn't really get rev'ed for Office 11 (e.g. some applet help files) and
it's remotely possible that some of the code pointed to the old MSO. Not
especially likely, I agree.
 

I think we might be talking about different things. Regardless of Office
automation, Visual Studio itself uses a version of MSO to render its
toolbars or some such thing. Since MSOs are not interchangeable, it seems
unlikely that it could itself call into ~both~ MSO11 and MSO10.

Hi Sid,

Some suggestions for you:

1. Uninstall Office 2003 and XP(if it is on your machine) from Add/Remove
Programs.
2. Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/9/D/E9D80355-7AB4-45B8-80E8-983A48D
5E1BD/msicuu2.exe
3. Run the utility and remove the Office(XP and 2003) entry from the list.
4. Reinstall Office 2003 and re-apply the latest update for it.

For more information about the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, please
refer to the following KB article: 290301 Description of the Windows
Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290301

Hope it helps.

I'd say go for Mandrake 9.2 or wait a bit for 10--the partitioning tools

compared to Mandrake for a workstation--stable enough, but it's got some
serious borkage going on with the package manager. If you're tech savvy
enough to install apt-get and synaptic, go for it. Mandrake and Suse will
automatically mount your windows partition at /mnt/windows :) But Redhat's
policies don't allow them to do that by default. Something to think about.

Yes, but it's not trivial. For RedHat, I think you'd have to merge the
contents of the CD's into a single directory with all the CD labeling .files
in place, then create a new ISO image with all of that material and the boot
image appropriately marked for booting, burn that to DVD, and when the
installation asks for the next CD, just hit "Enter" and it will find its
next CD contents on the same DVD.

Want to dual-boot Windows2K Pro and RH 9?

I see the post by Andy Fraser, and that has good information. You should
definitely look those documents over. Red Hat has had a link called
"understanding what you are doing." This is a good policy to save
time and mis-steps/mistakes.

Generally, I would say you are on the right track. Save any files you
need from the 10G drive as preparation for it to be reformatted to ext2 or
ext3 for use with Red Hat. To clarify, linux needs a native partition
type to install, and NTFS does not fit that requirement.

Back to dual boot issues:
Generally, I recommend grub for the loader for use with Windows/Linux.
I like it installed at the MBR on the primary disk. Check the manual and
the FAQ here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.en.html

If you keep Win2k as primary master IDE drive, then minimal tricks are
required to boot either windows or linux. Probably, this will be
built for you when you setup linux, in grub.conf:

title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


There will be another stanza which loads linux. Note: the stanza I have
shown above makes assumptions about the partitioning on your 40G drive
which may not be correct. Be careful that the only change on your
40G drive is to the MBR loader- don't damage your windows partition(s)
during your RH install.

Ask more questions as you go along, if necessary.

framebuffer-questions; fbdev for 1600x1200???

Posted: 02 Mar 2004 11:00 AM PST

I tried

knoppix screen=1600x1200 xmodule=nv

It produces the same result as

knoppix screen=1600x1200

And the /etc-files say that also in the latter case the module nv
is chosen. So the detection of the video card seems o.k.,
although during the start it reports (shown for a short time)
that an NVidia Quadro4 550 GoGL was detected.
It should be 500 GoGL.
I'm not sure, whether this card (550 GoGL) exists (it is not
contained in the list of cards given in the expert mode).
So it just may be a typo.

It seems that the problem is not solvable for knoppix.
The fbdev or vesafb doesn't support 1600x1200,
the module nv produces the distortion as already explained:
It looks as if an output with 1280 pixels per line is displayed
on 1600 pixels per line: each line is displaced a bit compared
to the prior.

However, I hope that the problem doesn't occur with Red Hat,
which I'll try in some weeks. Or are the basic drivers the same
for all distributions?

Thanks so far,
Norbert

Hi,

That unfortunately is not a feature. Logical, since many tasks can have two
or more successors, other tasks may have no sucessors at all, so there is
not necessarily just one "the next in the order"
If you have a field that will determine the order you want to see, go to
Project, Sort, Sort by...
You probably will have to cross out "keep outline structure" and if so, you
shall also have to go to Tools, Options, View, and cross out "show summary
tasks".

How to manage tasks payment terms ?

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 09:46 AM PDT

You both have and haven't missed something. Project costs and your accounts
payable and receivable issues are two entirely different things. Project
tracks the former in order to help you estimate the project budget. It
tracks the accrual point to facilitate validation of the budget, estimating
cash flow requirements, and tracking progress against schedule and budget
through earned value analysis. The basic question it seeks to answer is
"how much will this cost our firm and does the ROI justify the expense?"
But it does not pretend to manage, nor in my opinion should one attempt to
use it, to track payables and receivables. Thats the job of an accounting
system, not a project management system. The budget is when the obligation
to pay is accrued, if you will, not when you actually write the check. I
may do a task today that I won't pay for until next week. Or I may have to
pay for a component in advance even though it won't be delivered until next
month. But the budget is hit with the cost today as I do the work or the
component is used - the money is effectively spent during the performance of
the work even though I may still have the funds in the bank for another
period of time or have released them before the work begins.

i need your urget help

Ruthie --

The process of estimating both Duration values and Work values is a bit
tricky. In fact, I refer to these values as "guesstimates" since I do both
"guessing" and "esimating" to come up with a number.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) recommends a "best practice" that
wherever possible, estimates should come from the team members who will
actually perform the work. I think you can see why this would be a "best
practice" in the estimation process:

1. You will draw upon the work experience of people who have performed the
task previously, which could make their estimate more reliable
2. You get "buy-in" from the person
3. Resources are more likely to report accurate progress on tasks in which
they provided the estimate

Therefore, in your scenario, I really can't tell you whether your Duration
estimates are accurate. Instead, I would recommend that you speak with your
team members and ask them for their estimates. If you cannot do this, then
I would recommend you speak with people who have worked on tasks like those
in the past. Hope this helps.

question, when assigning durations to a user testing acceptance(UAT), for a
project involving building a web server with overall project duration of say
4months, is 3days realistic to assign to this task. And also is 3 days
realistic to assign to d following task of training users? cheers

I'll be happy to plan your project for you for an appropriate professional
day rate plus airfare to your location, hotel, ground transportation, per
diem and other reasonable expenses. Typically costs and timeframe to
produce a viable plan usually run to about 25% of the total project timeline
and budget. Please advise your requirements.

Overallocated Resources

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 04:36 PM PDT

K. Bolton --

A resource overallocation occurs when a resource is schedule for more work
than they are available to perform in any time period, including as little
as a 15-minute time period. To determine where your resource
overallocations are occurring in your project plan, apply the Resource Usage
view, examine the overallocated resources and the time periods in which the
overallocations are occurring. You can also zoom in to smaller time periods
to see overallocations that occur in less than a full working day time
period. Hope this helps.

Ongoing Items on Gantt Chart

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 04:18 PM PDT

Hi Nicole,

Sorry but PMS Project is all about Projects.
Projects by definition have a start and an end, and all tasks are planned to
have a start and an end date.
Training never stops, but for instance "The 2004 program for Management
Development" does, it has tasks that are linked together, dates top respect,
resources to plan...

Activities with no start and no end cannot be planned in Project.
If you really need to show some, make them for instance "Training through
2005" which has start and en dates.
