Microsoft Word - table formatting question/issue

table formatting question/issue

Posted: 09 Mar 2013 08:52 AM PST

I would like to distinguish (highlight, underline, shade) the heading in a table from the rest of the table.  I have tried using Table Styles and Borders with limited success.

Any suggestions will be welcomed.  Proffer any ideas freely.

Best free on-line collaboration software that allows tracking changes

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 05:38 PM PST

I am lookng for free on-line software that allows for tracking changes so that both (or all) those working on a project can see all changes that have been made, and allow comments to be entered in the margins, and I would like to know if Microsoft Word 2010's SharePoint is the best program.  I have done a little research on-line and it seems most programs just allow one to see the versions of a document that are automatically saved every thirty minutes or so, and allow comments to be inserted, but do not allow one to track changes.  I have come to the preliminary conclusion that Microsoft Word's SharePoint is the best, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas on this.

Why is this and how can I correct it?

I so far have to save it to my desktop and then open it with my Adobe Reader.

Why is this? I used to be able to view any PDF whether it was from my e-mail {Microsoft Outlook} or if I was trying to download a PDF it would show up in English, as that is the language I speak. However, a few months ago, this is the kind of view I get when I click to open it. This jibberish means nothing to me. If anyone can help me I would be most grateful. I have no idea why this started as I have done nothing differend with my computer. Weird as it may seem, my husband's home computer does the same.

Word 2010 not replacing "-->" with arrow character

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 02:18 PM PST

In previous versions of Word entering "-->" would be automatically replaced with a light arrow pointing right, "<--" with a light arrow pointing left, "==>" with a heavy arrow pointing right, and "<==" with a heavy arrow pointing left. This does not seem to be happening in Word 2010. I can't find any options for this in the Auto-Correct/Auto-Format settings. What do I need to do in order to get this behavior back?

All Available Programs in Office 365 Home Immediately Close Upon Opening even after running quick repair and online repair

Posted: 08 Mar 2013 02:16 PM PST

I just purchased and installed Office 365 for Home. Every program in the Office Suite Immediately closes with the error message "something is wrong with the program and it is closing."  I need Word so I have been working with it first.  I followed instructions to disable the add-ins by running Word in Safe Mode.  Although I am the Administrator, I cannot remove the add-ins because the System doesn't recognize me as the Administrator. What are my next steps here short of uninstalling Office 365 and reinstalling Office 2010?

Works: Cannot Paste Object from Clipboard into a Word 2000 Document
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;265930&Product=wrk

SYMPTOMS

When you try to paste an object from the clipboard into a Microsoft Word
2000 document, the selection may be unavailable.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if all of the following conditions are true:
You installed Microsoft Word 2000 from the Microsoft Works Suite 2001 CD-ROM
set.
The object on the clipboard is from a source other than Word 2000.
You started Word 2000 after you copied the object to the clipboard.

Note When you start Word 2000, the clipboard is cleared of all of its
contents.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, open Word 2000 before you copy an object to the
clipboard.

To work around this issue, remove the Word in Works Suite Add-in. To do
this, follow the steps below.

Note If you remove this Add-in, you remove Works Suite Task Launcher's
ability to see any Word 2000 tasks. You will need to do any word processing
functions outside Works Suite Task Launcher.

Uninstall Word in Works Suite Add-in

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Add/Remove Programs.
2. Double-click Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Microsoft Word.
3. Follow the prompts for the removal.

Hi Di,

Open Microsoft Word before print screen key is used.

You will find copying and pasting anything into Word requires it to be open
before the copy is made.

Works Word processor is also included with Works Suite. Works Word
processor does not have to be open before copy is made.

Because Microsoft Word is included with Works Suite, Works Word processor is
hidden. To use the Works Word processor, search for WksWP.exe , right
click, select Send To, click Desktop (create shortcut). Open Works Word
processor from Desktop.

Hope this helps,
Ken

Hi,
I have XP, Works 7.0. My old Works 4.5 allowed me to hit
the print screen key, and then paste that picture into
the Works 4.5 word processor. I mainly used this to print
a list of the files in a particular folder.

Word 2002 in my new Works 7.0 won't allow me to paste
into the word doc.

How can I print a list of folder contents?
Thanks,
Di

Charting data in works???

Posted: 13 Sep 2004 03:16 PM PDT

Further to Paul's response,
In 4.5a

In a spreadsheet, have two adjacent lines of data
eg: have I column with six dates,
then alongside in another column enter 6 random numbers.

Mark the block, so the dates and numbers are black,
click ...tools
click....create new chart
remove "first time help"
click the chart you want........finished

You can fumble around after that, to get the matrix you desire
and to get a feel of what happens, each time you close
it will save the chart as "Chart 1, 2 etc, so you may
have to remove some after each try you make.
(It's good fun, charting)

use print screen thats gonna work. 
and the Gantt chart. (I think this answers your question).
I have tried to use the Copy Picture to Office Wizard, but
when I get to the part where I choose Power Point, or
another application, and portrait or landscape, it doesn't
let me select anything...nothing gets chosen when I click
on it. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way
to do this besides Copy Picture to Office Wizard? Thanks.

Timesheet reporting

Posted: 07 Jun 2004 05:48 AM PDT

Many thanks Dale.

Do you know whether Project has the facilty on the
timesheet for a resource (user) to enter the ammount of
time there is to complete per task on a timesheet?
Meaning that a task length in a project can shorten or
lengthen depending on the feedback from the resource
(assuming the project manager approves the timesheet).

Thanks,

Where Does Project Server Data Get Stored

Posted: 05 Jun 2004 03:58 PM PDT



----- Ken Popkin wrote: ----

I would like to know the following

1. When I used SQL's Enterprise Manager to look at the underlying databas
I was surprised to find six project server databases labeled ProjectServer
ProjectServer2185, ProjectServer6028, ProjectServer6405, ProjectServer9232
and ProjectServer9880. Why are there six project server databases and whic
one is storing the data

That means, the Project server was installed several times already. (install, uninstall, install, uninstall ...
If you did it in one, you should only have "ProjectServer"

2. What tables are being used to store the data. I looked in MSP_Resource
and MSP_Projects, but didn't find any of my data

It's a relational database. Data for one project are spread in several tables

3. Are there any write-ups that explain the database schema

There's a link somewhere that documents the DB schema in visio format. Haven't found an explanation yet either

4. The reason I am asking is that we may want to write some of our ow
stored procedures to extract data. Is this a good approach or should
stick with the API's that are mentioned in the documentation

It's best to go with API's rather than a direct link to the database

Thanks in advance for your help

change contraint default - Project Professional 2002

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 02:56 PM PDT

The constraint "SNET" being applied automatically is usually a result of
specifying a start date for a task. A basic purpose of Project is to
calculate the task schedule for you, given the project start date, task
durations, and task linkages, and as such you should never, ever input
individual task start and end dates except in those rare circumstances where
you really do intend to have a constraint applied.

Target versus Published

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 10:16 AM PDT

Spiro T --

In the sample DB, the Project Server administrator created an additional
Version called Target, which probably serves as the original "agreed upon"
version of the project before beginning work. The Published version is
always the current production copy of the project. Your Project Server
administrator could create one or more Versions in your own envrionment,
based on the communication and tracking needs of your organization. If no
custom Versions are created, then the only available project Version will be
the Published version. Hope this helps.

another consideration would be the effect of the planning phase to the project itself

If planning does not affect the duration, task list and cost of the project, you may incorporate it without any problems

If it does, you may want to divide it

Hi Donna,

I don't really understand what you're trying to do :( I don't know what you
mean by getting the number to balance - what number? and balance with what?
You assign a resource to the task to undertake the necessary work to finish
the task - you can't fiddle that - it must have a number of manhours of work
to complete. You can't adjust the number of hours as the work might not be
completed in that time. As to your final comment, if you enter 50 manhours
of work, Project will work out the cost based on how you've set up the
parameters of working time and calendars. Can you be more specific on what
you're trying to achieve and how you are doing it?

BCWS in EV report

Do you have resources assigned to those summary tasks? If so that will
seriously distort the work values, thus BCWS. With only one exception that
I can think of offhand, one should never assign resources to summary tasks.
