HOW CAN I ACCESS a simply learning module for Microsoft Word ?

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 10:44 PM PST

I WISH TO LEARN HOW TO FULLY UTILIZE ALL THE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES AVAILABLE FROM MICROSOFT WORD IN ORDER TO CREATE FLYERS AND BROCHURES FOR MY FLEDGLING BUSINESS.

I have been given this computer  which has some idiosyncrasies(perhaps because it was made in Ireland) and am struggling with learning how to utilize Microsoft Word to the fullest.

PS I am a senior citizen with no interest in a training program to become certified etc.  But that's all I see on the screen.   Thanks  

When I open Word 2010 the page orientation is landscape and does not respond to instruction to change to portrait

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 06:31 PM PST

I am attempting to create a word document in Word 2010.  When I open Word that is a blank document displayed in landscape form.  When I go to Page Layout and give the instruction to change to portrait the change is not made.  When I attempt to create a new page in portriat the page shows in landscape and won't change.  When I exit Word and wait a minute and re-enter Word the blank page in landscape still shows.  When I give the close command the computer asks the save don't save cancel question and I click don't save the blank page closes.  When exit Word, logoff and shutdown and stay shutdown for about a minute then restart the computer, go to Word 2010 that blank horizontal white page is back and won't change to portriat.

Word 2010 header and footer formatting problem.

When I am working on a document, the page numbers show up as {Page} instead of the actual page number.  The page numbers appear normal when I print them.  How can I remedy this?

Change styles shown in template document

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 03:10 PM PST

I am trying to create a custom template which shows only the styles I use in the styles window in the ribbon.  When I eliminate the ones I don't want, and the ones I do want are showing, I then save the template.  BUT - when I open the template again as a template, or create a new document from it, the style window automatically resets to the normal template default.
I do a lot of my work using a speech recognition program. If the styles I want are showing in that window, I can use a speech recognition program to apply them. Otherwise,I have to rearrange the styles again each time I use the template. Is there any way to fix the styles window so it shows only the styles I want? I do not wish to create a custom style; just have the ones visible that I use the most.

Hide options in word

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 12:05 PM PST

I have a friend who uses Office 2003 - Word 2003.

 

His son has changed by accident some option and now his Word shows some things in all four sides of the page. See the screenshot:

http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/CD/DB/8f704a6220a7cddb.png

 

I tried to remove it, I searched the Net, I searched the Word options, but I couldn't find how to fix this.

Additionally, I reinstalled his Office 2003 (uninstalling,manually removing files/folders leftovers, manually removing some Office reg keys) but still nothing.

 

Can you help me get rid of these lines ?

Extra space between some heading level 4's and normal text of previous heading level 4's

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 05:46 AM PST

Word 2010 is producing extra space between some heading level 4's and normal text under the preceding heading level 4's (up to about five or six inches), even though the paragraph and heading styles are identical where this problem exists and where it does not, and it doesn't seem to matter how I set the paragraph and heading styles. Also, there are no page or section breaks where this is happening, even though the result looks very similar to a page break.

Word 2010 Crashes When Opening Documents From File - Open - Desktop

Posted: 23 Jan 2013 10:55 AM PST

I have a Windows 7 32 bit machine, running Office 2010.  Whenever I try to open a document, from within Word, which is located on the desktop, Word will crash.  This doesn't happen if I start in safe mode, or if I start Word by going to the run line and typing in winword.exe /a (which enables all add-ins.) When I manually disable all add-ins, Word still crashes.  It's highly frustrating to say the least.  I've tried recreating normal.dot, running office repair and removing all items from the startup folder.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Formatting Numbers in a Merge Field

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 08:54 PM PST

Hi All,

I have mail merged document.

In my access query , num1 column has 0.30 value.

But when i open mail merged document, it shows, 0 3

its not showing the point. instead of point(.) its showing space.

even i tried toggle field codes.

if i do this,

{MERGEFIELD num1\##.00}

it shows me 3.00 value.


If there is 0.35 value in num1 then, its showing .35 which is correct.

only issue is if num1 has value like 0.30 or 0.40 or 0.50.....

it will show like 0 3 or 0 4 or 0 5.... respectively.

(num1 column's datatype is currency.)

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

Mail Merge questions - Data Sources and checkboxes

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 03:21 PM PST

I have a Word Doc I'm using with Excel to put out variable data into a letter as a Mail Merge (MM).  We will reuse this again and again.  Everything works pretty well but...

 

1)  I complete the Excel sheet with the fill-ins.  Save it and close. Open the Word doc and it prompts to allow the SQL.  Answer Yes.  I then have to navigate or "point" Word to the Data Source (Excel sheet) location which is a network folder/share which also happens to be the same place/folder that the Word doc launches from.  That completes.  I then quickly just commit the doc with those settings and close.  Come back in; it doesn't go to where I just pointed it, instead it reverts to "My Data Sources" on the local drive.  And I have to do this every single time I open the Word document.  Isn't there a way to "permanently" tell the Document where its data source is instead of me having to navigate/drill up/drill down to it every time?

 

2)  When I come to Edit Recipients, Word always checks every box in all rows in the data window including rows that are blank.  I have to uncheck all and then recheck the boxes/rows at the top which are my desired fill-ins.  If you don't un-check and re-check, then Word prints out the merge including all the blank letters with no fill-ins - wastes a lot of paper!  I don't know why it checks all boxes and not just the ones with data in them.  I'd even take having Word NOT check any boxes and let me select them.  As it is now, the default mode selects all boxes.  Where is there a setting to instruct Word to not check every box, every time I do a mail merge?

 

Thank you for any input.

Posted: 15 Aug 2004 09:48 AM PDT

Since word processing seems to be the dominant area of
concern at the moment. why not try a custom install of
only Word and see how that goes? If successful, perhaps
you could later install the other components of the suite
that you want. This approach might require that the
installer install Works, but that's OK. The complete
Works Suite will not be installed, if you uncheck Money,
PictureIt!, Encarta and Streets & Trips (or whatever is
included with Works Suite 2003. I am looking at Works
Suite 2001.) Or is that what you have done already,
since you have not mentioned the other applications

Thomas,

I assume you would like an honest answer, so, no, I did
not mean Office Student/Teacher.

I purchased my laptop at Best Buy so I had no choice as
to the software installed. I have Win XP Small Business
Office 2002 on my home desktop (I am retired) and use
only Word, Excel and Outlook. That's what I would like on
my laptop, but MS makes it too damn complicated and
expensive. I can't determine how much purchasing Office
2003 out of the trial will cost but it's sure to be much
more than Office Basic 2003 (99.00 on a new computer).

Works 7.0 only complicates the issue as I have no desire
to have to convert Works documents to Office documents
and vice versa. Besides, the last time I used Works there
was a real issue with the Task Launcher which Dell
finally had me delete!

I'm planning on using my son's copies of Word, Excel and
Outlook 2003 and see no reason to use up hard disk space
with Works and the trial Office.

OK, I've got my Nomex suit on if a flame is headed my
way! ;-)

Take your new WinXP disc and insert it in the drive. Follow the steps in the

pick C:

Make sure that you do a reformat and clean install and not just a repair.

Re-install of 7.0 Problems

Posted: 14 Aug 2004 05:49 PM PDT

Hi Linda,

Often, even after using Add/Remove Programs there are remnants
of a program in the Windows registry.

There are two utilities provided to help clear the way for a successful
reinstall, they are the Works Clean-Up Utility and Windows installer
clean up utility.

These two Microsoft Knowledge Base articles help explain the process
that usually allows Works to be successfully reinstalled.

Hi Bill,

Since Works 4.5 is not installed you may proceed to install
Works 4.5 as normal, and use Works 4.5 with WinXp almost
as you did with Win98SE. Works 4.5 may be unaware of
technologies that have come after it.

Works 8 database is similar to Works 7 database and mail merge
proceeds as shown in these videos.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832796

Neither Works 6 nor Works 7, uses Word as the word processor for
mail merge but Works Suite versions do use Word.

The works word processor program file is named WksWp.exe and is
available in all versions of Works, Suite does not display it in the Task
Launcher nor are the templates provided for it. Suite uses Word and
offers templates for that instead.

Recent versions of Works does not carry formatting of numerics across

Thanks Kevin. I followed your instructions and did get the report. One
problem I have is that I must use Portrait mode rather than landscape to
keep report formatting.
Someone emailed me to try CutePDFWriter. Once I created the report in Works
and used smaller fonts because I changed to Portrait, when I went to print
it I got printer panel and I selected CutePDFWriter. It created a PDF file.
I'm going to go that route since most people have adobe and I can email as

Hi Colin,

The number of fonts that need removing varies with your computer
configuration though most systems are stable with fewer than 500
fonts installed.

It is know for this issue to arise with as few as 300 fonts installed.
Font file size can vary considerably.

Hello Kevin

I was using the OP's definition "Can not individually delete an item from

I don't know too much, but I believe OOo and SO are essentially the same
expect you usually pay for SO, but you get some clip art and a database

Comparing OOo 2.0 and MSO 2003 is probably good. You may want to search

Hi Daiya -

as far as the web site deal... Well, I'm not crazy about spraying my scent

how to use product key

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 07:37 AM PDT

Congratulations, but I'm afraid you cannot "activate" the Test Drive for
ongoing use. If you intend to use your prior purchased version you need to
install *it*, using the key that applies to it, on the new system. The Test
Drive is just _that_ - a limited free trial that expires in 30 days, period.

Make sure that *before/while* you install the purchased version (X or 2004 -
you didn't mention which) you uninstall the Test Drive using the Remove
Office utility application. DO NOT just drag the TD to the Trash if any of
the TD programs have ever been launched.

I should also mention that unless you have the Student & Teacher package
(which provides 3 licenses) that you might be obligated to remove Office
from the previous system before installing it on the new one - review the
EULA for whatever package you have.

The answer was there, but not explicitly.
Yes, Normal stores user-defined toolbars, but not default toolbars. If you
customize a standard toolbar, your customization is NOT stored in Normal.

As far as problems with the book itself... To be honest, I have no time to

MSCRM API failing with User defined fields.Help !

Posted: 16 Feb 2004 03:32 AM PST

Anand,

The fieldname has to match excactly what is in the DB schema. The
prefix that is auto-added in actually in UPPER case, so at a minimum,
your field should be CFStestfield. Hoewever, if you capitalized
anything in the name, it would need to match as well.

If you look in the accountbase table, you can verify the correct
fieldname to use.

You can't remove them. Best you can do is create a tab
called 'Do Not Use' and stick these suckers in there, and
relable them so there is less confusion when users try to
query. (Yes, this is not good news, I know.) the reason
is that the recalculate button on this form auto-
calculates the revenue from the opportunity products
attached to it. (Unless you check the manually
calculated radio button, which I guess is why that field
is "system required" too.

I really hope in 2.0 that NOTHING is system required, and
ALL functionality is REALLY exposed...

Activities View

Posted: 14 Feb 2004 04:06 PM PST

Bob,

If you search this group, you can find some who have posted a way to
do this. It basically involves determing the GUID for the view you
want to modify and then setting up a URL to go into the editor on the
view.

BTW, this is an unsupported method and I haven't tried it, but it
should work fine from what I've read from others.

CRM 1.2 error

Posted: 13 Feb 2004 12:51 PM PST

Joseph,

Did you add the CRM server to the pre-w2k access group? This is
needed to allow the local system to acces SQL.

Also, check the event log on both the SQL server and the domain
controller. I ran into a weird problem once where there was a problem
with how SQL got registered with AD and it was causing authnetication
problems when trying to connect with local system.

Audit Using Picklist OnChange Event Javascript?

Posted: 13 Feb 2004 11:16 AM PST

Dave,

The call-out you are thinking of would be pretty straight forward.
I'd recommend first getting a basic callout to work (something like
the sample provided online that just puts a msg in the event viewer or
something like that). That way, you know you've got the plumbing
working properly. While they are easy to write, the callouts are
pretty sentisitve when setting them up and can sometimes be a real
pain.

Once you've got the framework working, your looking at just issuing a
retrieve to get the XML details of the case and then writing that info
to a table.

Hi ronald,

I guess the problem is with the GUID that u r using for the ICRMCallout
interface. Please note that you will have to use the same GUID as in the
CRM SDK documentation.

you are using the following
[GuidAttribute("61D2E9D8-59E4-4305-819D-BA1073E44D72")]

instead try using
<Guid("F4233E5B-17DC-4661-9ABC-6707A9F99215")>
