word 2007 table autofit

Posted: 02 May 2013 08:19 AM PDT

Hello,

I use word 2007, when creating a new table from insert->table->insert table there is an item called AutoFit Behavior under which there is three selections: (Fixed column width, AutoFit to content, AutoFit to window). After creating the table, when you right click the table or a cell you find that there is also an item called AutoFit that opens three selections: (AutoFit to contents, AutoFit to window, Fixed column width). what is the function of every item and what is the difference between them?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Automatically update style?

Posted: 02 May 2013 04:12 AM PDT

Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask a question in MOS Word expert,, so the question is :" change line spacing of style HEADING 1 into exactly 12 pt and then apply to all Heading 1 style".
So I just modify the HEADING 1 style, and then check the box " Automatically update". So is it true or false?
Because, when I do it again at home, although I don't check the box "Automatically update" but all texts that have the same style "HEADING 1" in the document still change into new.
So what is the difference between check and not check the box "Automatically update" when I modify the style?
Thank you so much.

How can I keep a graphic from printing? Word 2013

Posted: 01 May 2013 04:29 PM PDT

I've got a hold-out. They want to fill in fields on top of a form they've got pre-printed. I recall I could set Word not to print any graphics. Perhaps I recall wrong. Regardless, I don't want the graphic to print, but I want the form fields to print.

Thanks in advance for your help!

after updating open office to 3.4.1 I can't open MS office files

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:54 PM PDT

I have MS office 2007 and I had OOo 3.4.  I updated the OO.o (Open Office) to 3.4.1 and now all of the icons on my docx and xlsx documents have disappeared and was replaced with OO.o icons. I tried downloading an associator application but that didn't work. I tried going in to file types and adding new file types because the office file types were missing and that didn't work. I have since removed OO.o but that didn't help either. Can anyone tell me how to restore my my MS office to it's previous state?

Opening a folder created problems

Posted: 01 May 2013 01:21 PM PDT

I was trying to save a folder that I copied from one of our computers to another. The file would not open in Excel (it was created in Excel) and it gave me the box to choose another program to open it in.  I tried to open it in Word and whatever I did changed most of the programs on my computer to a Word format and all that I get when I click on my icons is a Word box. I was able to get help with my UPS Worldship program and get it changed to the original settings, but it changed all of the programs that were affected by what I did to UPS and that particular program opens each time you click any of the icons. I know this is confusing but if anyone can understand what my problem is I would greatly appreciate an answer. Thank you

Change format of certain numbers in outline list OR Sequential numbering between 2 levels

Posted: 01 May 2013 09:11 AM PDT

I have a numbered list that must contain certain numbers in bold and others in normal formatting, like this:

1. This is section 1 and the number should be bold
2. This is section 2 and the number should not be bold
3. This is section 3 and the number should not be bold
4. This is section 4 and the number should be bold
...

I tried 2 different ways to go about it, however I am stuck in both.

Attempt #1: Changing the format of certain numbers only
I have found a way to change the color of certain numbers by changing the color of the paragraph symbol ¶, however the same property matching does not seem to work for bold formatting.

Attempt #2: Sequential numbering between 2 levels of the same list
This more convoluted workaround was to basically setup a list in which the first 2 levels are identical in formatting except for the bold/not bold. The problem with this is that in order to keep sequential numbering I would have to sometimes set the values manually: in a list that goes 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., I must set the starting value of Level 2 (non-bold) to 3, then set the value of Level 1 (bold) to 4 (to skip 3.), then set the Level 2 value to 5., etc.... All this manual input cancels the advantage of using an automatic list and I could end up with duplicate numbers (or skipped numbers).

I hope I was clear enough in my description of the issues at hand and would of course be glad to have a solution to either (or a brand new idea that would solve the problem too!).

Thank you in advance.

Word 2013 Save As File Name Inconsistency

Posted: 01 May 2013 06:26 AM PDT

In Word 2013, and it appears only in 2013, I am finding an inconsistency with what file name is auto generated in the Save As Dialog. Can anyone point me to a hotfix or upcoming fix for this?

Steps:

Create new blank Word document.

Go to File – Show all Properties

Set "Title" field to "Jennifer"

Go to Save As – Browse

File name set to "Doc1"

Click X out of Browse

Click Browse again

File name set to "Jennifer"

We are trying to set the title so that the file name is prepopulated for the user when they do a save as on one of our documents. Thanks for any help!

Office templates

Posted: 30 Apr 2013 08:42 AM PDT

Hi, we have recently installed a server running Windows server 2012 Standard Edition. Connected to this are a collection of PC's running Vista SP2 and MS Office 2007, 2003 or even both. I have the job of setting up the user accounts, which according to the hardware installers require user profiles on each PC as Vista doesn't support roaming profiles (but that's a different topic). My question concerns templates mainly for Word and PowerPoint which allow us to run macros on forms we use. I was wondering if I have to put these templates in each user profile on each PC, or is there a more admin friendly option such as accessing the templates from the server?

Sorry for the convoluted question, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am probably obviously new to this network admin game, but seem to have become lumbered.

Word won't save documents

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 12:43 PM PDT

Word will not save my documents. When I started with Word, I made some changes to a document, but when I tried to save it, it locked up and wouldn't do anything else - it won't even shut down when I click the red X. It just shows the hour glass cursor until I go to Task Manager and end the task. I tried it a few more times, and now I have three "recovered documents", but when I try to save them, it locks up again. I've done disk cleanup and defrag, but they didn't help. Thank you for any suggestions.  :)

import gantt chart from MS project2000 to MS excel2000

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 11:15 PM PDT

That one is not possible to do. You can send them the Gantt chart as an
image as Rob suggested but it's just that, a picture of the Gantt chart, and
not the Gantt itself. If team members need to update the project
information, and the only way to modify the Gantt is to change the
information it's based on, they need to have access to the actual project
file that contains that information and a license for MS Project or you need
to setup Project Server and Web Access. That's what those products are for.
FYI - the Gantt chart is not the end all and be all of project management
and simply generating Gantt charts is not what MS Project is all about. The
Gantt is simply a view - you could think of it as a report if you like - of
the underlaying project plan. Creating and managing the actual plan is what
Project is for and "modify gantt chart" falls under that umbrella.

How to Keep Resources???

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 01:11 PM PDT

Hi Mike:

Look up Resource Pools in help and the book you have. What you want to do
is common practice. In short, you create a project file that contains all
your resource information but usually no task information. You also have a
file for each project that contains the task information but usually no
resources. With *both* files open simultaneously and the tasks file the
current window, go to the Tools menu, Resource Sharing, and link the two
files together. Now the resource information from your resource pool file
will appear on the resource sheet of the tasks file.

How are things along the Wasatch these days? Lived in SLC downtown on East
2nd and then down in Holladay from '85 until '95. Did a lot of programming
work for Kennecott back in those days.

Subproject title in master project

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 12:43 PM PDT

Hi Rob,

I'm sorry to say, but through all versions I've been using, this is an
oddity.
For instance, setting the title property throughVBA doesn't work at all, you
have to set the name of the project summary task.
In many instances, manually as well, this is generally more "powerful" than
Title property.

Greetings,

You do absolutely nothing special, input your project scheduled from start,

My work week starts on Saturday Why won't Project do the same?

Posted: 11 Jul 2004 06:22 AM PDT

IMHO, the working time calendar designated as the Project Calendar does NOT
necessarily reflect the total hours that your business is in operation. The
Project Calendar governs the placement of tasks when resources have not been
assigned to them (either you haven't done it yet or won't be doing it for
some reason) and no task calendar (exception calendar) has been designated
for it. But that's not the whole story. Tasks only proceed when the
resource is present to work on it so when resources are assigned the task
moves in the calendar to follow the resource's availability. But a fully
detailed WBS breaks the project work down to the level of each task = 1
resource's work. So what does that mean? If "waxing widgets" is going to
take 24 hours of duration to complete, it is NOT going to proceed 24 hours
continuously, even if our company works 24/5. The company (drilling
platform, etc) may be running 24 hours solid, but the ONE GUY or ONE TEAM
that is *working together* on that single task will come to work at some
time, work for an 8 hour shift, go home, come back the next day and work on
it another 8 hours, go home, come back the next day and work the final 8
hours on it. If we has put that task in the project starting monday at 8am
and said its duration is 24 hours, the plan would show it finishing Tuesday
at 8am if the Project Calendar is the 24 hour calendar. But that's not what
is going to actually happen. What is really going to happen is the task
will get interrupted for the period the ONE GUY working on it is home
sleeping and it will really finish Wednesday at 5pm, not Tuesday at 8am and
that's the way I like to see it show up in the plan before I get around to
assigning resources. IF I actually need it to finish Tuesday I can assign a
resource on Day shift, then add another on Swing shift, and another on
Graveyard giving each of them 8 man-hours of work and 100% effort and
although its duration will not change, the combination of the resources
working hours will move its completion up to the required Tuesday morning.

Printing Utility

Posted: 10 Jul 2004 11:32 AM PDT


Itzik,
Wow, binder, I haven't heard that term for quite a while. Don't know if
MS Binder will work with Project, did you try it?

It's not real clear what you mean by printing all 70 files in the same
view. Do you mean print all 70 files as one big file or do you mean
print each of the 70 files in the Gantt Chart view for example? If you
want to do the former, build a consolidated master by going to
Insert/Project and select all 70 files in the Insert Project Window. If
you want each file to print starting on its own page, just put a manual
page break at the beginning of each inserted file. If you simply want to
print each file separately, you could create a simple VBA macro to
automate opening each file, setting the view and printing. If all the
files are in one folder, you should be able to simply code in the folder
path and have the macro open all the files in that folder in succession.

These are just a couple of ideas. There may be other methods also.

Hope this helps.
John

John,
Thanks for the help. That's just what I've been doing, is running that
macro as I open each file when I work on it. Was just hoping to find
an easier way, as always. I hate doing repetitive tasks, thought that
was what I got the computer and the software for in the first place!
At least it's just a single click of a button.

Finish to Start Dependancies

Posted: 09 Jul 2004 08:34 AM PDT

Thanks Rob & Steve,

With your help I fixed the problem. I think that in some
moment as a mistake I typed -Crtl F9- and this change to
the calculation option from automatically to manually
without any notice.

I realize this when I follow the instructions from Rob to
press F9 to calculate so in that moment the bars were to
the right position either all the informaion from the
duration and start and finish dates.

Probably it was so obvious but never before I have had
this trouble and I didn't know that you can change the
automatic calculation to manually.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm afraid this simply isn't true.
When you marka task as minestone throught Task Information, Advanced,
Project does not change the duration of the task. It simply does NOT. Start
and finish do not change.
It changes the graphical representation of the task to a lozenge but that is
just the graphical one and it can be changed through Bar Styles.

Is Project 2003 compatible with Outlook 2003?

Posted: 08 Jul 2004 01:11 PM PDT

Not automatically, and it is a one-way path from Project to Outlook. The PM
can use the Workgroup tools to email task assignments from Project to a
resource's Outlook mailbox. Once accepted, the tasks are added to the
Outlook to-do list. The PM can request status updates but a resource simply
checking off a task as partially or fully complete in their Outlook task
list will not in itself generate an update back to Project. Instead, the
resource gets an email from Project via the PM that says essentially "You
were scheduled over the last <timeframe> to spend XXX hours doing YYY. How
many hours did you spend and how long do you estimate before it's done?" and
the PM then triggers an update to Project after reviewing the resource's
reply.
