Remove Header and Footer from Word 2013 after latest update

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:25 PM PDT

I have Word 2013 64 bit on Windows 7 SP1 64 bit Pro.

After todays patch Tuesday every time I open a word document (old or new) I have this annoying header and footer placeholders that I can't remove in any way (I do know how to remove headers and footers). I think it's some sort of a bug.

Here is a  screenshot of what I see in Word (look at the squares at the edges of the document)

 

I can't type in a blank area.

At the bottom two inches of a Word 2007 document I have two paragraph markers showing and about almost two inches of empty space.  As soon as I try to type beyond the lowest line with the paragraph marker the line jumps to the next page leaving a big void. ??????????????

Insert Julian date with Word

Posted: 11 Mar 2013 08:04 AM PDT

I use Julian style datetexts to name areas within word files. I copied the Julian date from a paper calendar and marked it as Heading1.  Its a great way of taking notes and automatically compiling them. The today+julian date is added in Heading 1 text and all items after it are in larger numbered Headings. Its easy to assemble the notes and then use Table of Contents or Indexing functions. When Table on Contents  or indexes with links jump to the spot in the file you need.
      I am assuming the hypertext link function was not removed (?) but is there a convenient way or app to give me a form of Julian date ?
Should I just use   2013-03-11 date insert instead?  It does make it a bit harder to do  various number of days calculations from that format when something needs to happen 30 or 60 or 80 days later then a date.

It would be a great app if you could get a question box " how many days to you wish to add for an end date calculation, and then deliver an end date in the format  2013-0#-## format"
example something like
today+ 21 days   response today is 2013-03-11, the end date is 2013-04-01 Monday

This would be great for anyone dealing with "its takes 21 days to do something?
 It could have a spinoff for working days.

some of my documents have been changed to one note. How do I get them back to their original format?

Sequential days and dates starting from "start date" entered in form

Posted: 09 Mar 2013 02:02 PM PST

I created a monthly calendar template (as the base for a daily planner) using the MS Word 2010 monthly calendar template and wish to add to the document by creating pages for each day of the month.  Using form fields, how can I sequentially insert the date for each daily page, using the  "start date" entered into the form?. For example, if I update the monthly calendar for "March 2013", the dates to be entered would be Friday, March 1, 2013, Saturday, March 2, 2013, Sunday, March 3, 2013, etc.  

 I read the document at http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party multiple times and did not find the information needed.

Thank you in advance for any assistance offered.

 

Formatting the index heading

Posted: 07 Mar 2013 02:58 PM PST

I created a simple Index in MS Word 2007 and I formatted the index text by modifying the "Index 1" Style. I added the \h "A" switch but I cannot figure out how to change the style of this heading. They continue to appear in Calibri 13 Bold even if everything else is Times New Roman.
Is there any way to format the index heading letters?

Thanks!

How to convert MS-Works-MAC files to Windows-Version

Posted: 18 Sep 2004 06:19 AM PDT

Do the files that you got have any extension? On the Mac, file extensions are optional as
the Mac doesn't use them to determine file type. So your friend could have saved them
without any extension or with some other extension and they still would have worked on the
Mac. Having the expected file extension on Windows makes it easier to work with a file.

I'm not sure Works 7 still has the conversion filters to handle the Mac Works 3 files.
Apparently Works 4 does. Do you might need to get a copy of Works 4 and install that. I
understand it can coexist with Works 7. You can then open the Mac files in Works 4, and
then save them in a Windows version that Works 7 can use.

Thanks for the suggestion. I added the GATEWAY statment to ifcfg-eth0

They were taken from my router and seem to work with the other PCs

[PATCH] Patch to hook up PPP to simple class sysfs support

Looks like FC may not have changed the pppd code. If I jumped to a

pppd 2.4.2 code that generates error:

pppd/options.c: option_error("error in active-filter expression: %s\n", pcap_

Perhaps your libpcap and mine differ, and mine does the right thing.
It was installed back in late 2002:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135878 Oct 21 2002 /usr/lib/libpcap.a

Anyway something is different, since the pppd (2.4.1, 2.4.2) filter
options work great here.

a|
a| Don't export with the "async" option (this is generic advice) if

Converting ext2/ext3 fs to ReiserFS or XFS Journaling File Systems

After 'installation', first make sure that your current

the proper tools to make them, eg. mkfs.xfs, mkfs_reiser.
Provided you have a spare partition with a fs on it, mount it
and copy the files from the partition that you want to convert.
ex. # cd /var , # find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm /mnt/spare
or something like that, to preserve the original attributes of
those files. Edit your /etc/fstab, and make sure the mount points
do refer to the new partition. reboot/remount(?). Now, create
the filesystem that you desired on that old part. , copy the files,
reboot and feel the changes. And thats about it, you're done.

A loaded question. First off, Linux is merely a kernel, although
a lot of people get a bit sloppy usage-wise (after all, such
nifty stuff can be enfolded around it!). A bit like asking
what the best fuel pump for an automobile is.

Second, all the distros work for the most part, unless one
has strange needs. I favor Gentoo because I like the idea
of consistently building systems from scratch, for example;
however, the rank newbie might have problems with such
a distro, although the directions are for the most part
clear enough. (If one's behind a firewall there's a bit
of a bugaboo, though; use RSYNC_PROXY=a.b.c.d:e instead of
the suggested format in the Handbook. I probably should
file a bug... :-) )

I just installed RedHat Enterprise 3.0, however, on a
Dell Precision tower, and while I'm having minor problems
with Java/JBoss, the install itself was extremely smooth.
(It was for work, of course; Fedora is apparently the home
version, that much I know. It's using 2.4.21, which is a
little long in the tooth by now.) Debian was the system
I was using prior to Gentoo; it's a very easy system to
work with as well. I've not used Mandrake but have read
good things about it.

http://www.distrowatch.com

contains a list of over 100 distros. Pick one. :-)

(They also contain an announcement for FreeBSD 4.10. Go fig.)

upgrading disk to lvm

In article <uio.no>,
Patrick Guio wrote: 

It's my belief that there is no "easy" way.

If you have multiple partitions, you might be able to migrate one
partition at a time, if you have some spare space. In that case, you
could archive what's on one partition onto another partition, redo the
partition as a PV, put it in a VG, create an LV, make a filesystem and
"unarchive" your data into that LV. Then archive the next partition,
declare that as a PV, extend the VG to include it, etc... repeat as
necessary. Kinda messy, but possible. For me, I'd add that second disk,
put it under LVM, migrate stuff off the first disk, then add that space to
LVM.

Of course, if you don't have any backup, then obviously, your data is of
no value to you, so why don't you just blow it off (pretending you had a
disk crash or a totally corrupted filesystem), and start over with LVM.

RTL 8139 with 2.4.2 bf2 kernel (debian)

Posted: 26 May 2004 12:53 AM PDT

One caution: if you install your own kernel, you must set kernel headers
properly; in my system, I install my own kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4.26,
and make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.6.
Then remove directories, /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux, then make
symbolic links /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. Then you can compile
additional kernel modules. On my system, NVIDIA kernel module driver and
vmware kernel modules compile and work perfectly. Debian is very generous
to your own kernel. I used woody in the past with my own build 2.4.x
kernel. But sarge is also stable and comes with newer software (for example
apache2 and xfree86 related packages) I upgraded to sarge (testing).

I can't find what's wrong with my lilo.conf

Posted: 25 May 2004 08:44 PM PDT

Removing a hard disk will shuffle BIOS device codes. This kills versions of
LILO earlier that 22.3. Since then, LILO defers final BIOS device code
assignments to drives until boot-time, allowing the boot-time environment to
be different from the install-time (/sbin/lilo) environment.

Your config file looks as though it were designed for an earlier version of
LILO, possibly version 21.

Thank you for all your help.
My company is using RH 8 in a production environment now and I just
got a new box to start testing things on, so obviously it has to be
the same version as the production environment.

I ended up updating the kernel from 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.22 and it somehow
worked. Go and figure.

I will agree with Paul's comments but I would also tell Mabel to respond

I would also be inclined to look at the appeals process and learn as
much as possible about the requirements. If there was no mandate to use
MS Office for the course then they shouldn't be able to enforce the
usage of a MS Office product. The software should also have been part
of the course if it was mandatory.

Depending on the type of "safeguards", they may be known weaknesses in
Excel that can be referenced to in the appeal. Such as the poor
password and protection offered by Excel.

Novell is working on making the XSLT transformation that Microsoft has

never reach a sufficient quality that comes even close to the quality of
our current filters for the binary MSOffice formats.

So we already have planned to release our own import(!) filters for
OOXML and we are already working on them. Having such import filters is
what users of OOo will demand for just to stay interoperable. But OTOH
we think that nobody needs export filters for these formats. For
exchanging documents in a format that MSOffice users can read you can
use the old binary formats.

The locale setting is the language selector. The hierarchy under Options -

This sets the language as used in a specific locale. There is nothing political about

of my post that you clipped Kurdish in Turkey uses a different alphabet than in
other countries.
 

There is no justification for terrorism of any sort. Likewise there is no
justification for oppression against minority ethnic groups like the Kurds who
have lived under subjugation for centuries in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey.
 

I have never personally seen human rights violations against Native Americans
or African Americans but they occur daily. Why don't you open your eyes?
 

No.
 

I made a simple factual statement. You are the on who is ranting.
 

Unfortunately there is nothing fabricated about the human rights violations
against the Kurdsoccurring. The oppression has been occurring for centuries.
 

That is a very big stretch of your imagination.
 

And the Kurds have first hand knowledge of being oppressed for centuries.
 

You have made it a political platform through your obviously anti-Kurdish
attitude. There is no valid technical issue.
 
 

The language settings have nothing to do with what the official language is.

I do not understand your problem with the use of Kurdish(Turkey). Kurdish

Kurdish is written with different alphabets so it is necessary to know which is
being use. I found this at
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/kurdish.htm
"In Turkey Kurdish is written with the Latin alphabet and in parts of the
former Soviet Union it is written with the Cyrillic alphabet. When
Kurdish is written with the Arabic script, Arabic loan words retain their
original spelling, though are often pronounced quite differently in
Kurdish."

The Kurds do not have a homeland and have been persecuted and discriminated
against for centuries. Turkey has a long history of human rights violations
against its citizens of Kurdish origin.
