Microsoft Word - convert footnote to inline citation

Microsoft Word - convert footnote to inline citation

convert footnote to inline citation

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:33 PM PDT

I am looking for an efficient way to convert numbered footnotes from Word files to numbered inline citation.

I have tried using a macro (like the one here: http://bit.ly/16ZMr4t) to convert to inline citations.

One problem however:

1) In the macro suggested in the link, the footnote number is not preserved - a problem when one footnote refers by number to previous footnotes.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Can't open any of my Word documents

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:30 PM PDT

Every time I try to open a Microsoft word file a message pops up telling me that WinWord.Exe is busy for possible upgrade or helping me add or remove files (which I do not have any messages about this)?

 

How can I fix this problem and open my word documents.

 

I have a 2013 Office product.

Normal.dotm and other saving issues in word 2007

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 02:01 PM PDT

When opening Word, getting an error message "Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere. (Normal.dotm)"  I have deleted the old file so it can be recreated. It worked briefly and I am now having the same issue. I have checked my task manager to see if WINWORD.exe is running. It is. It ALWAYS is. I can close it but as soon as I open another word doc and close that one I get the same error.  The issue is constant. Every document every day.  I also get the error "word cannot save this file because it is open in another location" No documents are open, no documents are in recovery, no one else is even in the office to access any other computer and no one else in my office is having this issue. I've done every single stupid work around and delete/restore that I can find. I'm hoping for a solution so please don't tell me to delete normal.dotm and restore it, that is merely a temporary fix, I really need something that stops it from happening in the first place.

Unable to save .doc file format to .docx

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:34 PM PDT

Hello,

I have merged multiple documents into one file (.doc).  I now would like to save this file to .docx, however, I am unable to do so.  I tried to turn off Track Changes, but is unable to save the file in .docx.  I can save the file to another name but ONLY with .doc format.  When I go to File > SAVE AS, it brings up the Save As window.  I enter the name such as pablo.docx; type as Word Document (*.docx) and when I clicked the SAVE button, it says 'A file error has occurred'.

I tried to copy the entire document and pasted to a new Word (.docx) file and I run into the same problem when saving to .docx.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Mail Merge using ODBC data source

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:26 PM PDT

I want to do a mail merge using data accessed using odbc. When I select my source, I see a list of the tables in my database that looks like this:

 

 

When I pick the JCCost table, I can use all the fields from that table. However, I also need to use a "Vendor Name" field which is not stored in the JCCost table, but in a related table. The VendorID field in the JCCost table ties to a record in the APVendor table. Is there any way I can read related tables from within the Mail Merge function without having to create some kind of a View in the data itself?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mail merge with conditional criteria

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:19 PM PDT

I have spent literally hours trying to get to square one without success. I can write some reasonably complicated formula's in Excel, but apparently that skill does not transfer to Word, at least not for me. Below is a table in Word with the data in Excel below it.

The formula below works as it pulls the employee name associated with Rel (relation) "EE" (Employee).

I copied the formula to the next block below with SP in the row and it pulls Ward again so I am thinking it is ok to copy the formula and it still works. I edit the formula from EE to SP (Spouse) but it does not pull June. Nor does it pull Wally when I change to CH (child). What's weird is I can delete everything (done it a hundred times) build it again but with SP and it pulls Jane. It's like a vlookup, hits the first match and quits.

If I can get past this hurdle, I will attempt a more complicated formula to pull in the name in the appropriate box based on the Rel column and if it matches the corresponding CVG.

Any help to get me going in the right direction is appreciated. I am hoping to avoid having to pay for the answer, but time is getting short so I may have to find someone willing to do that.

{IF {MERGEFIELD Rel} = "EE" {MERGEFIELD Name} ""}

Document content not appearing after opening as 'read only'

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 12:34 PM PDT

My CFO gets prompted to open documents as 'Read Only' when she's received them as attachments. 

I recently upgraded her system (clean install of everything on new hardware) using identical software; the primary difference between her old system and new is that I applied SP2 for Office on her new system.
System: HP Elitebook Folio, Win7Pro SP1, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Office 2010 w/SP2; the graphics rendering engine is the Intel HD4000. All firmware and drivers are up-to-date.

PROBLEM:
When she gets prompted to open as read only and she clicks to open it, a Word window opens for the document but no content is displayed; its title displays above the Menu, I can right click and get context menus, but no content is displayed.

I can get the content to display if I select the 'View' tab and then choose 'New Window'.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

How to end a hyperlink in word?

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 10:40 AM PDT

A word doc with a hyperlink in it. How do you tell word you're done with making/editing links?
Be it me adding a link by copy/paste the URL into the document, and Word nicely makes it into a link for me. Or me going back to edit a link later.
Once the cursor is at the end of the link that's made, if i press enter to start a new paragraph, or i press shift +enter to start a new line after the link in the same paragraph.
Word keeps making the next line more of the same link from the previous line, no matter how many times i press enter. i could press enter till i get to the 7th page with 6 blanks ones between me and the end of the link and the moment i start typing it's still apart of that link.

 I do not want to turn off automatic link making, i just want to know how to tell word, Ok i'm all done with that link, thank you for your help in making it, we can go back to just writing more plain text now please.

Dark pictures in ODT document from LibreOffice

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 10:21 AM PDT

I'm trying out the Office 365 product and am potentially looking to buy a subscription because I'm fed up of LibreOffice keep freezing.

I've got a big .odt document that was written in LibreOffice that contains many pictures. When I open this document in Word, most of the formatting is fine, but all the pictures appear darkened. Any idea why this is? The pictures are all colour and embedded in the document. I can save in Word and re-open in LibreOffice and the pictures then show up just fine. I can also re-import a picture from the same file and it shows up just fine.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

Converting a template that opens in Compatibility Mode to 2013 jumbles table layout

Anchor text box within template so it doesn't move as surrounding text is added

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:27 AM PDT

I'm using a modified version of Microsoft's Elementary school newsletter. It includes a sidebar, which seems to be a text box with a table structure within it. When I type text, the sidebar that was originally on page 2 jumps to page 3. I can squirrel around and cut and  paste it back where it belongs, but I know this will be too much for the users to deal with. How do I make the second sidebar on page 2 "stick"? Here's a link to the template files in question. http://sdrv.ms/12sA5kM  Thanks in advance!

section 2 headers appears on the cover page

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 05:35 AM PDT

I have created a cover page with the "insert cover page" button.

I have created 2 sections.  There is one page in each section. The second section begins on a new page.

I have created a header for section 1, do not repeat on the first page so it doesn't appear on the cover page. That works.

Then I create a header for section 2.  I click not to have in link to the previous.  When I save the header for section 2, it updates the header in section 1 and even on the cover page.  I have tried it many times.  I show hidden characters and I do see header for section 1, header for section 2 etc.

Any suggestions how I can end up with no header on the cover page, and Header 1 section remain as I first set it up, and NOT have it take on the section 2 header.
Thanks

Problem with page-up; in two-page view, pages start switching from left to right, then page-up stops working, get caught in a loop

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 04:55 AM PDT

In the two-page view mode, around pages 10-11 in a multi-page document [more than 150 pages],  when I page-up the pages switch from odd-on-left to odd-on-right, and then, soon, page up stops working. first it starts to act like arrow-up, and then I get caught in a loop and get nowhere.

This happened after I added some sections for meta-data before the start of the document itself. To do this I had to first delete the TOC, create five or six next-page section breaks, and recreate the TOC.

This happened in an earlier long document, but then the phenomenon went away.  I can't figure out what is causing it or what I might have done to fix it in the other document.

Optimising Normal Template across multiple users

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:34 AM PDT

Hi there

I work for a small company (6 core staff) and am producing various template forms and reports or us all to use. We're using Office 2013 and the templates are produced mainly in Word, but also in Excel. We all work remotely from each other and share files via dropbox. 

I have created a Word template form, which includes a Building Block Gallery Content Control. This content control includes images of everyone's e-signatures and is saved in the normal template (rather than Building Bolcks(en-US), which was the other available option). I tested my form on a colleague's machine and found that all content controls worked (date, rich text, drop down list) except the Building Block Gallery Content Control with e-signatures. I was able to solve this issue by replacing my colleague's normal template with mine. 

This is not optimal as I don't know what content my other colleagues have in their normal templates and, thus, what would be lost should they replace theirs with my normal template. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Ideally, I would like to have a central template (perhaps in dropbox) to which all of our shared forms and other documents would refer. Is this possible? Having one central place for our shared templates would provide me with only one place to make global updates and stop me from copying over useful content in my colleagues' other normal templates.

Also, I've never really been able to fully get my head around normal templates. Does anyone have link to a great explanation of this? I seem to remember the option (at least with styles) to save to the normal template or to save the styles with the document itself. I don't think I've come across this option for the content controls with which I'm working at present. Perhaps I've overlooked something.

Many thanks in advance,
Lesley

Turn off unwanted features in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 01:31 AM PDT

When I type (a) Some text... and press return Word drops and INDENTS a line and adds (b) because it assumes I am doing a lettered list!  I am quite capable of selecting a numbered List or lettered list from the appropriate ribbon.  Also when I type (c) it changes it to a copyright symbol!  I am quite capable of selecting a copyright symbol or Euro or anything else when I want them. 

I have tried looking on Options/Advanced and every where I can to turn off as much as I can where Word tries to help me!  Can anyone help me so i can turn off these unwanted in my case features. 

In effect I prefer Word to be more like an advanced typewriter where I choose what I want to do and not find it making decisions/guesses on my behalf!

Any help gratefully received.

office 2000 - feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

Jason,

1. It makes no differenece if the user has Admin permissions on the
workstation.

2. I can uninstall Office 2000 sucessuflly.

3. I can re-install Office 2000 and the error goes away.

However, as I said in my orginial post, I'm not looking for a solution that
involves re-installing Office. I know that will work but I have over 100
workstations and I don't want to have to go to each one and re-install
Office.

Here's what I know:

1. The only change to the workstations was removing the computers from the
old domain (Windows 2000) and adding them to the the new domain (Windows
2003).

2. The users have admin rights to their workstation.

3. The location of the admin installation point has not changed during the
network upgrade. It is the same server, share name, and mapped drive and
the server was not upgraded. It is still a Windows 2000 Server.

4. The user has full read/write access to the admin installation point.

5. Resynchronizing the workstation with the installation point using the
msiexec command or by running setup from the installation point does not
work.

Any ideas?

Fatal Error when attempting reinstall or repair

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 04:22 PM PDT

Hm. It may be that you didn't have enough disk space for a local
installation source. I only know of two cases where it won't be created:
1) if you tell it to remove the setup files at the end of the installation
(in one of the final setup screens), or 2) if you don't have enough disk
space, then it can't create the LIS.

This may give you more information:

Office Upgrade via GPO and Transforms

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 12:01 PM PDT

Yeah, the first one I know about. I have set up an admin install point with
features that we would want, including the username for outlook, etc. The
second link led me to believe that the only way to make sure only the updates
are brought into the current installation on the client machines instead of a
full reinstall with all of the patches is to run it from cmd line, such as in
a login script with the flag reinstall to only affect the updated
applications. Kinda stinks that you cannot do this in a transform, because
it would be much easier to manage.

Why deploying Outlook after Office resets the patch status?

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 09:20 AM PDT

Hello again,

Yes and not. Yes, I can use CMW to "add" Outlook to the installation but in
this manner the install process CAN'T uninstall old Outlook and I'll have a
big problem (this is stated in resource kit).

I have Outlook outside of the main installation process because Outlook
isn't used in our environment: we use IMAP servers. But some people want to
use Outlook to access these IMAP servers, so I must create an standalone
Outlook installation.

I've "solved" the problem with the patches by applying (chain) the same
patches that I apply in the Office installation but I don't know if this will
result in problems with the Office installation itself.

Any more idea?

Thank you.

installed infopath. Rest of office is 2000. Now OU thinks i'm 2K3

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 10:27 AM PDT

Hi Susan,
Hope all is well with you......just to recap and finish up I wanted to go
back to my original needs. I do need to keep 2000 for a while for work
projects but wanted to get moving with infoPath. I will install the entire
suite soon enough so I'll wait till then for infopath too. The live meeting
statement was a wild guess on my part. It seemed odd to me that the webcasts
were the only thing I found not working after the install as I view them
often and disabling AUTHZAX.dll got them working again. I only tied it to
Live meeting due to the fact both office 2003 adn live meeting had their own
entries for IE. It was just a guess though.....who knows why disabling that
file allowed webcasts to start working after the office 2K3 infopath install.
Someone I'm sure would know but I certainly don't. Just a guess. What
happened was I would go to an on demand webcast, hit register(funny you have
to follow the same steps as a live webcast), login to passport, enter a name
to be known by(again why? it's on demand ) and then when I clicked the icon
that takes you to the final screen that gives choice of wmp or some generic
viewer, it would give me a message that the webcast requested Could Not Be
Found. No matter what webcast. I tried probably 25. Again disabling the IE
component, whatever AUTHZAX is, did the trick.
Lastly, you mention that Microsoft does not recommend mixing Office
versions, however in this one case, I read specifically that InfoPath was
the one app that could be installed with Office 2000. In fact it is supposed
to work with Access 2000 as a data source just fine for example. The article
also talked about using it with SQL 2000 and some other non office 2003 apps.
It was a Microsoft article in an MSDN Flash that contained that info and
prompted me to install it. So my adventure was based on info right from the
source. Ok, i've now told you way more than you needed to know about my
little experience.
Thanks for all your information. This is kind of unique situation but I did
learn some valuable things and feel more confident about 2003 from things
you've said.
thanks again.

Uninstalling MsAccess and Installing MsAccess Runtime

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 06:53 AM PDT

Hi,

thanks for the info.

We have managed to solve this issue.
Running a SP3 update seems to fix this.
I think this is possibly due to the Access Runtime possibly installing older
files than what was previously installed by MsAccess.
We have found that a few machines wouldn't take the SP3 update, this is due
to the Pc not having had the SP1a update.

Regards

I have several computers that won't install Windows Update, and I have no
clue why. I don't have the time to reinstall Windows yet again, so I just
leave them at their current patch level for now. I think I can download
patches individually, but I don't really have time for that, either.

Be very careful though with mail servers. There are very good reasons
why they are not "open" to external connections in the default
install. An port open to the outside (especially 25) is a security
risk which can be exploited if some flaw is found in the mail
server. Moreover if your server is misconfigured it could act as a
spam relay. So take the time to really understand SMTP and what you
are doing, maybe set up some firewalling. And avoid sendmail, it's one
of the most complex software piece ever. There are alternatives
(postfix, exim,...) which are more simple to master and way powerful
enough for a setup as small as yours.

Check some comp.mail FAQ for further info.

ext3 and reiserfs journalling - what is the difference and which is better?

Posted: 18 Jan 2005 04:42 PM PST


"Peter" <net.nz> wrote in message
news:paradise.net.nz... 

If you *ARE* running large systems, such as multi-Terabyte RAID arrays that
need their file systems merged into one master array, it can make a big
difference. Ext3 is Ext2 on steroids, a workhorse of the Linux world. It's
limitations have been fixed one at a time over the course of years. Reiserfs
is more specifically aimed at large arrays. It's pretty darned good, but
writing new tools to fully use new features (such as large scale storage
arrays) becomes much more complex because it is more complex.

In most uses, the performance difference between the two is negligible. Ext3
had a problem with too many thousands of files in one directory until after
the 2.6 kernel came out with htrees, and you may see a modest performance
improvement with ReiserFS with large local disks, but it's extremely useful
to be able to repartition Ext3 partitions reliable and to use the disk
labeling trick to boot from different OS's on different parts of the same
hardware when you re-arrange your disks, especially with SCSI disks
re-ordering themselves all the time.

Stable is nice, but hardware changes so quickly that it's usually worth
simply doing a forklift upgrade of your servers every 3 years or so, to get
far more capacity or to reduce power consumption and cooling and to get them
off your shelves before old, difficult to replace components become too hard
to get.

It is extremely rare to have the same servers of 3 or 4 years ago able to
match the performance of a modern machine of less size, space, and power
requirements.

What's the point in having to kernels on a system?

Yes, because the problem was not with the kernel. It was with kdegreet or
whatever, and that is not part of the kernel. It sounds like your new
kernel worked fine.

Anyway login to runlevel 3
(when the lilo prompt comes up, hit escape or tab and type in linux 3.)
You could try then logging in and running startx.

I have continued to use kernel 2.6.10 all day today and other than not
being able to mount a CD in one of my cd drives, it has behaved
perfectly. I have not seen any other problems of any kind. Thanks for
any further thought you might give to this. The other CD drive
continues to work perfectly. I have verified that if I reboot with my
2.4 kernel, then both CD drives (and everything else) still work.

Debian as a File Server to Win98

Posted: 16 Jan 2005 05:23 PM PST

> Can I do this?

It can be done.
 

That question is moot. The Win98 clients will only see the share as it
is exported by SAMBA (SMB) and will not know how the files are stored
internally by Linux.

Install the samba and samba-doc and look at the samba doc files that
get installed:
# apt-get install samba
# apt-get install samba-doc
# dpkg -L samba-doc|more

Samba is capable of supporting anything from a small home LAN like you
describe to an enterprise scale infrastructure so the documents may be
a bit daunting, but there are some examples of very simple
configurations that probably match what you are trying to do.

HTH,
hank
