Microsoft Works - mailing labels from address book


mailing labels from address book

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 10:13 AM PDT

Hi maguzzo,

Open Works Word Processor.

Click Tools on the menu bar, click Labels.

Select "Mailing labels" on the Labels dialog popup, click OK.

Select label type on the Label Setting dialog popup, click New Document.

Click "Mail merge from the Address Book" in the Open Data Source dialog
popup.

Insert the fields you want on the label. (I use Address Block)

To use only selected addresses from the Address Book.....

Click Tool on the menu bar, select Mail merge, click Select Names.

Use the Select Names dialog popup to select only the names desired, Click
OK.

The View Results should display only the addresses selected.

Hope this helps,
Ken

When one clicks to merge from address book all addresses are imported.

Kevin,
Didn't work. Still only able to pull full address book,
not the smaller group I selected from the full book.
Maybe it's how I created this sub group. When I go to
pull the list that I want, I can't, or don't know how, to
find it. In the address book, the sub group I want to
create labels for is in the folder "Main Identity's
Contacts." The article you sent me doesn't follow what
I'm seeing when I try and duplicate it. I'm about to
throw the computer out the window, so please help.
Thanks,

G'day Chris,
For a Diary,
download this quality German PIM (Free)
http://www.waseo.de/en/Products/Freeware1/DateTimeSoftware/ClickTray1/clicktray1.html

As you boot, the days "to do" list pops up
prompts one to jot down the days important info
easy to save, easy to manipulate
and even waves goodbye when shutting down.
Daily events can be printed in a snip.

Trying to re-install Works 6.0

Posted: 19 Aug 2004 03:18 AM PDT

Thanks for the info. I ordered the Works 4.5 from the link you sent me. I
am surprised that the database saved in Works 6.0 program can be opened in
Works 4.5, but you are the "guru". Once I load the file into 4.5 I hope I
can work on it and not just view it.

Since I upgraded to Office 2010 the automatic conversion to pdf tab is no longer visible and I can't find the toolbar menu anymore either. Any ideas?

Posted: 28 Jan 2013 12:19 PM PST

There used to be a button in my Word menu that allowed me to convert a document into a pdf format directly.  When I upgraded from Office 2003 to 2010 this button in Word is no longer visible.

 

I liked this feature because it worked with my Adobe Pro 9.0 to create workable links in the coverted pdf document.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  And, if so, how did you solve the problem?

How can I make sure that an entire document is in English (US)

Posted: 25 Jan 2013 01:48 PM PST

My default proofing language is English (US).
I have a document that will show English (UK)when I click "Spelling and Grammar" when I start in some places in the document.

When I am in a particular part of the document and click shift f1 it may show (Asian) Japanese and (Other) English (U.K.) in the reveal formatting pane.

If I select all, and click "language" and set it to English (US) it still shows (Asian) Japanese and (Other) English (U.K.) in the reveal formatting

How can I fix an entire document so that is always English (US)

Installation ended prematurely

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 01:48 PM PDT

Hi Brett,

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 230895 OFF2000:
"Installation Ended Prematurely Because of an Error" When You Run Office
Setup
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230895


WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
Method 1: Run Setup from a Network Server
If you are in a networked environment and you have access to an
administrative installation of Office 2000, run Setup from this location
instead of your CD-ROM drive. The security settings mentioned in the
"Cause" section of this article do not affect running Setup from a network
server.
Method 2: Turn Off the "Restrict CD-ROM Access to Locally Logged on User
Only" Security Option
If you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only
security option, you can run Setup from your CD-ROM drive. Please see the
documentation on the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager for more
information about modifying this setting.

NOTE: You may have to restart after you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access
to locally logged on user only security option before you can run Setup
from your CD-ROM drive.

For more information about the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager,
visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/security/techdetails/prodarch/securconfig.

Lost MS office activation key

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 09:41 AM PDT

Just for interest sake how long have you been using computers? Also,
are you asking a question regarding Product Serial Number for Windows XP
or MS Office XP?

If it is the Windows XP serial number you are after then this should be
stuck at the back of your PC case where you connect all the cables. The
factory installed version of Windows XP will have a different serial
number to that of your actual PC because Dell is authorised to roll out
standard configured systems using standard serial number assigned to
Dell worldwide.

If it is the serial number of your Office XP then this should be on the
CD jewel case or CD cover depending on how this came with your system.

You have to understand that Dell is shipping out millions of systems
every year some with only Windows XP and some with additional software
such as yours. It is difficult for them to standardise a system to
supply you for the lifetime of your PC. After all they are running a
business of selling PCs. Is it still under DELL's warranty of 1 year
(perhaps more if you paid for the extension)?

For the future, you need to organise yourself so that these things don't
get lost. Have you got lot of clutter in your house to make it
difficult for you to store important CDs (and manuals!) safely? Perhaps
you may need to make copies of original CDs and keep them besides your
computer (in your safe house) as these are invariably required when you
install Service Packs and critical patches.

Where should I install Office 2003

Posted: 02 Jun 2004 12:18 PM PDT

You can place the installation anywhere you wish but be advised that there
are several MB of files that will need to go to your boot partition.
Installing to a second partition/hard drive may be a good idea for space
saving, but if you need to reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall
Office anyway since the boot partition has essential system files.

You can have it installed on one desktop and one laptop. If you replace the
laptop, then uninstall it from the original one. If you replace the
desktop, then uninstall it from the original one. As long as you are
removing it from the old machine, and it is only installed on one desktop
and one laptop, you are in compliance (as long as that is the agreement you
agreed to in your end user license agreement provided with the software you
are installing).

Problem with Setup

Posted: 31 May 2004 08:13 AM PDT

Hi, Rob,

When you insert the installation disc, it should display a series of screens
that ask you if you want to install Office, and how. You can use these
screens to customize how it's installed, if you so choose. The default, I
believe, would remove all previous versions of Office. So if you make no
choices and just blow through the installation screens (which most of us
do), that's likely to be the default behavior.

Read each of the installation screens that come up while you're installing,
and try overriding the default of removing all previous versions of Office.

If you use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove registry entries
related to the installation state of Office 2000, it is possible that Office
2000 will no longer function properly. However, your upgrade will no longer
recognize that Office 2000 is there, and the Windows Installer will no
longer request installation media (because it won't "see" Office 2000 any
longer).

Microsoft have learned what a pain this is, and current versions of Office
have mitigated the requirement for original media. This requirement still
exists for Office 2000. However, they have recently released a patch for
Office 2000 that may eliminate the need for original installation media; you
could try installing it. Your Office 2000 needs to be at the SR-1 level to
use this patch, but it might be an option for you. The details are covered
in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835220 which
provides links to the downloads.

You could install it, then try your upgrade again.

I wonder if I have altered something elsewhere - would levelling make
this happen, would changing the task type to fixed units and effort
driven on other tasks make this happen.
Now that this has happened, how can I change it so that it goes back
to being just 1hr on a Tuesday?
Many thanks

Beth --

I would be scared to death if I were an application developer and was asked
to do the work of an electrician. I would be concerned that I would
electrocute myself! :)

Urgent - lag time

Posted: 11 May 2004 11:31 PM PDT

What do you mean by saying the "purchase software" task has a fixed duration
of 20 days? Are you saying that once it is ordered you expect it will be
delivered in 20 days? I tend to like the idea that the task is limited to
the actual physical work. If it takes 3 hours to fill out the purchase
order and get it signed then call the software vendor and place the order,
then you wait 3 weeks for delivery and then you'll install it, the "order
software" task is not 21 days. The order task is 3 hours in duration
followed by a 21 day lag time waiting for delivery and then the installation
task. So the project plan would show "order" with a duration of 3 hours
linked FS to "install" and a 21 days lag time in the link to position the
install 3 weeks after the order is placed.

that this software will be bought in batches say 2 days into the duration

(20d) wait.

Resourse units keep changing - MSP2003

Posted: 11 May 2004 02:42 PM PDT

Actually people can be more than 100%. If I have 5 people on the custodial
staff and their skills are essentially interchangeable, I can show them in
my resource list as a single entry with a max allocation of 500%. If it's
assigned to a task at 200% that means I have two custodians working together
on the task. That's why you can't tell project to never exceed 100%.

As to why your assignment seems to be locked in and MSP won't let you change
the 200% to 100% that's a bit of a puzzle. Have you posted any actual
progress to the task?

Gérard,
Thanks for your reply. I am using 2002 std. You are
correct for the new projects. However, For the old
projects, they DO NOT appear with the view which was
active when I saved them. I save in the resource sheet
view. Close file. Open file. The file opens in resource
sheet view momentarily then goes to gantt chart view. Any
idea why. The reason I want to set some files up to open
in this view is that I am using resource pools. Any ideas
to correct this would be appreciated.

Calendar Report by resource

Posted: 10 May 2004 10:40 PM PDT

Hi Gerard
I always read your responses on the site. You have taught
me a lot about MS Project. Much appreciated.
Re this query- I have created a new calendar (copy of
standard) and based specific resources on the new calendar.
The Base Calendar report then displays a calendar per
page,as you say.
However I can't see information about a particular
resource in the view/report.
I can use the View/ Calendar - which shows the tasks and
milestones in a month view, but doesn't indicate which
days the resource is unavailable. That view would be ideal.
I have a respool of about 70 - and leave/ sick days /
training is recorded by team leaders.
I want the team leaders to ensure the details in the read-
only respool are correct,
I need a way of showing / displaying individual resource
calendars to enable team leaders and the project office to
know if the details they have recorded are correct,
hopefully without repeated separate interrogations of the
Respool.
Would appreciate further guidance.


Kind Regards..........Pratta

Summary Task Slack Discrepancy

Posted: 10 May 2004 09:36 AM PDT

Hi Mam

That is exactely whats happening, it's good to know that it's supposed to do
that, what I can't figure out is why. The second task is dependent on the
first and neither of them have any slack so why does the summary task show
it as having a days slack?

If you could shine a little light on it for me it would help greatly

Cheers, Chris
