How can I change from 3 columns to one without messing up the current page's text?

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 12:05 PM PDT

I'm typing out registration forms for our office, and at the top of a page, I have 3 columns. When I go to change to one column. (Format>Columns>One column from this point forward) it messes up the layout of my document.

 

I feel like I'm just missing something silly, but any feedback would be great!

Office RT - How to sync SkyDrive files for Offline use

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 07:17 AM PDT

Unable to draft an A3 size doc in Word 2010 as default printer is only A4

Posted: 19 Mar 2013 04:26 AM PDT

My employer has just moved from Office 2003 to Office 2010. 

 

In Office 2003, I could draft an A3 sized document despite my default printer being A4 only (I'm on a network with access to an A3 printer when I need it).  I am unable to do this now.

 

Can you explain how I can replicate the ability to draft an A3 document without having to change my printer connection every time I want to do so?

My normal.dotm looks great when I open it from the template, but when I open with Word it is different. Why?

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 06:48 PM PDT

All of a sudden when I open Microsoft Office Word 2010 the new document is not an 8 1/2 X 11 page and the cursor is at the very top.  If I go to c:\users\name\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates and open the normal.dotm by right click and open it looks like I want it to.  If I left click to open the dotm from the same location it doesn't look right or if I just open Word.  I can't figure out what has happened.

 

I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2010 Pro and installed it again, but I am getting the same thing.  I got a normal.dotm from a friend that has the same Office and deleted mine and put theirs in, but I still get the same thing.  Oh I also read on a forum that Adobe pdf program can cause the template to mess up so I uninstalled Adobe Reader and still same thing.  I don't have a clue how to fix this.

In Windows 8, Word 2010, the pages do not print beginning at the top of the paper.

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 06:13 PM PDT

I am trying to print a book, 218 pages in length.  The pages print fine until page 142.  In the DOCUMENT, the title of the page looks correct, but in the PRINT PREVIEW, THE TITLE JUMPS AHEAD ABOUT 4 LINES AND THE PAGE PRINTS, BEGINNING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRECEDING PAGE INSTEAD OF AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE where it shows in the document.

 

Any suggestions of why this happens or how to fix it?

 

Thank you!

Every time I open Word 2007, office goes through the configuration process

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 06:16 AM PDT

After a recent microsoft patch, Word 2007 started to act strangely. Every time I open Word, Office goes through the configuration process. I don't use Office 2010, but I seem to have a demo version installed. I don't know if I have the original office 2007 disks. I think it was installed on my computer when I bought it. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

How to remove automatic tab indent from Heading 1 style?

Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:32 AM PDT

I am using Heading 1 to format text in my document to create a section heading eg "Section 1 Introduction".

 

I require the heading to be on centred on 2 lines eg line 1 "Section 1" and line 2 "Introduction".

 

This works find to a point!  But to get the "Section 1" part of the heading centred on the page, I have to remove the default tabs from my document, BECAUSE, the Heading 1 format style inserts a tab indent after the no. eg "Section 1->".  This then causes all existing sytles within my document which use the default tabs to be left aligned!  eg bullets, paragraph indents, no.s etc etc

 

How do I remove the automatic tab indent from Heading 1 style and keep the document default tabs (12.7) and thus the rest of my document formatting intact.  eg stop bullets, paragraph  indents, no. indents from defaulting to left aligned because default tabs dont exist!

Did you specifically pay for Microsoft Office? If not then you won't be

activated unless you buy a retail version or upgrade version of the
product from them. I don't know how and why they do it but it gives

Office 2003 custom install

Posted: 02 Jul 2004 09:23 AM PDT

You are correct that this feature does prevent the
installation of Access. However, when you select CHANGE
from Add/Rem Progs AND before the user can select
different options to change within the Office install,
another screen pops up. This is a screen that lists all
the apps (including Infopath etc.) and the user can just
select any app and it gets installed. Anyway, thanks for
replying.


 
Installation States step, rather than choosing "Not
Available" for Access, choose "Not Available, Hidden,
Locked". I believe this will prevent users from adding it
through Add/Remove.

To start, can you tell us how planned % complete would be calculated?
Based on duration? work? From which baseline? What about tasks without a
baseline? Any limitations on the tasks which should have this number? Should
it be calculated based on current date or from status date (I recommend
status date)? Any other conditions that the calculation needs to take into
account?

If you can supply answers to those questions then writing the code is fairly
straight forward.

approvals for actual hours?

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:31 AM PDT

Dave --

Theoretically, each task in a project could have a different project
manager, though that simply is not practical. To set up a project so that
multiple managers can each manage a section of a project, do the following:

1. Project manager #1 opens the project and clicks Collaborate - Publish -
All Information
2. PM#1 saves and closes the project

This step makes PM#1 the manager of every task in the project, and all task
updates from resources will be sent to him/her by Project Server.

3. PM#2 opens the project and selects only those tasks that he/she will
manage
4. PM #2 clicks Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. In the dialog, PM#2 chooses "Selected items" from the pick list at the
top of the dialog
6. PM#2 selects the "Become the manager for these assignments" option and
clicks OK
7. PM#2 saves and closes the project

This sequence of steps makes PM#2 the manager of only the selected tasks,
and all task updates for resources on the selected tasks will be redirected
to PM#2 by Project Server. Each additional PM will need to complete steps
#3-7. Hope this helps.

Thank you both.

Fixed Work does seem closer to what I'm trying to do. The only problem I
have now is that it adjusts the units when I add another resource, but that
happens less often. Fixed units for adding resources, and fixed work the
rest of the time seems like it would be the best for me. Maybe I'm just a
control freak! ;-)

I did some reading on assigning and editing resources, and still didn't find
a way to do it using hours instead of % usage, so I am keeping track of
hours in the notes field. Not perfect, but I can make it work for now.

Can't Reinstall Office 2004 Upgrade

Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:56 PM PDT

Yeah, Diane is correct: sadly this is the main reason why I think very
carefully before buying "upgrade" versions. If you lose access to the
"qualifying" software, you are in a bind if you need to re-install.

Obviously, they do this to prevent us buying an upgrade, then selling the
old version :-)

However, ANY prior version will do, back to Office 98. As Diane says, if
you can borrow a CD from any one of those versions, that's all you need.

Put your upgrade version in, and when it doesn't find the qualifying
product, it will ask for the other CD. Insert that, it will have a look,
then ask for the upgrade CD back and continue its install.

Cheers

wmf files not printing properly from mac office applications

Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:02 PM PDT

Hi Karen:

Eeeewwww :-) Last time I saw WMF do that, it was because the graphic was
too complex.

I would just check that you have the latest update to QuickTime on your Mac
‹ that's the converter it's using.

Where did you get these WMFs from? I would be inclined to copy these
pictures out on the PC using Visio (or any other graphics program...) and
convert them to PICT. You need to use a real graphics program for this,
because WMF and PICT are not exactly equivalent, so some serious computer
processing is required for an accurate conversion.

Re-insert the PICTs on the Mac. PICT is to the Mac what WMF is to Windows.

Cheers

No Office Application will open!!!!!

Posted: 09 Sep 2007 12:55 PM PDT

OK - that gives a clearer picture of the situation:-)

The very first thing you'll need to do is borrow your housemate's disk, but
it will need to be a Full Version, not an *upgrade* - if it's from an
upgrade package you'll also need full version install disk to complete the
installation. Although using one of his/her keys is technically a EULA
violation you can be the judge there... or better - if possible - have
someone from home locate the key for your copy. In general the procedure
will go as follows, but review the web page via the link below;

Rename or move the Microsoft User Data folder.

Next the installation disk has a Remove Office utility program which you'll
need to run in order to remove all traces of any versions of Office
currently installed. Run the utility more than once to be sure it gets
everything.

Once you reinstall Office apply the 11.3.5, 11.3.6 & 11.3.7 updates in that
sequence.

You should then be in good shape. Complete details can be found here for
step-by-step instruction:

http://word.mvps.org/Mac/RemoveReinstall.html

If you have any further problems or questions don't hesitate to post them
here.

BTW, this _ain't_ my job:-) All who contribute here do so voluntarily, so
you may very well get some additional input from others picking up on the
thread.

Problems with Office 2004

Posted: 08 Sep 2007 08:22 AM PDT

Thank you. That seemed to solve the problem.

A trial version later than 11.2.1 needed

Posted: 07 Sep 2007 08:27 PM PDT

Hi David:

This problem has two causes:

1) You ran the updaters out of sequence. You must run 11.3.5 first, then
11.3.6, then 11.3.7.

2) You actually have installed the paid-for version of Office on that
computer as well. If you have, you need to remove both.

I suppose it could be that the Test Drive version you have has expired? It
will neither work nor update if its trial period has expired. The only way
around that for testing purposes is to set your system clock back to the
time when the test drive did work.

But I would be amazingly careful doing that if I were proposing to synch: it
is likely to destroy your mobile device database. Backup, backup, and back
up the backup...

Later versions of Microsoft Office are not available on disk: all MS CDs are
pressed with version 11.0.0 on them (so everyone knows what version "the CD"
is at).

Cheers

Hi Alex!

John has a good idea about "file server protocols". A lot of Mac users
don't realize that they can connect via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) and
SMB (aka CIFS). AFP is the Mac's native language for file sharing and
SMB is the Windows language for file sharing. Macs are great because
they can do both but each method has its own limitations. Placing a file
on the server via SMB and then later trying to access that file via AFP
can lead to problems and vice versa.

Try this...

Have your user connect to the server first using: "afp://servername" or
"afp://serverIPaddress". How does the file appear this way?

Next, have your user connect to the server using "smb://servername" or
"smb://serverIPaddress". How does it appear now?

You may not necessarily be able to use both of these protocols but if
you can then that's a good indication that the switch between protocols
is your problem. Simply stick to one or the other and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps!

Choosing custom colors

I actually tried to help, I'm not especially alienated. But there's no
point in recommending anything without knowing whether the problem is in
Word or all of Office.

Check in an invisible folder named "lost+found" The folder is located at
the root level of the hard drive. To find this hidden folder called
"lost+found, do a search for "invisible files" and "Excel". If you are
lucky, you'll find the missing files.

Note: Due to a bug in 10.4 (still not fixed AFAIK) the Finder cannot find
invisible files.

It is better to activate the finder, then under the 'go' menu, select 'go to
folder'. In that dialog, enter "/lost+found" (without the quotes).

If there is a lost+found folder it will open, if not, you will get a 'folder
not found' error.

In the future you can stuff/zip your Office folder prior to updating. This
copy can be used to rescue a disaster like you experienced.

More than likely the problem that caused your trouble has affected other
applications...you just haven't found them yet.

MS Office for MAC will not launch

Did you recently update your OS with the QT 7.2 updater? This has caused all
sorts of havoc that sounds like what you are describing.

Apple has posted KB 306043 Mac OS X: Some applications may not open after
QuickTime 7.2 Update with directions on dealing with issues resulting from
the latest QT 7.2 update.

Please post back if you continue to have problems.
