Can't change margins under Page Setup in Word 2003 (Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003).

Posted: 10 Jul 2013 11:00 AM PDT

After PC clean-up/speed-up I can't change margins in my Word documents under "Page Setup". There's a shaded portion on top ruler that won't budge, so I have to pick up the markers individually and move them sideways to lengthen the typing line. It was perfect before (same software put into new box, reinstalled, that's all).

 

I've received 2 suggestions by email. Tried doing the 1st one but couldn't (changing normal.dot template). So tried the 2nd one, which was changing the margins to my requirement, then pressing "Default" (but it didn't work before, with many attempts, so I don't know why it worked this time). Thank you both.

Word Macro Mystery

Posted: 10 Jul 2013 10:59 AM PDT

Hello, folks--

 

Can anyone please tell me why PART A works fine to remove underlining from periods , but PART B does not work to remove bolding from periods?

These are part of a larger macro.  PART B follows immediately after PART A.  "(PART A)" and "(PART B)" are just for labeling purposes here and are not in the macro.

 

PART A works fine. I stepped through with F8, and the macro does hit every line of PART B, but the bold is not removed.   I thought maybe there was something wrong with the PunctAllRng, so I checked it out with a blue highlight, and it does highlight the range appropriately.  What am I missing?

 

'(PART A)

        With PunctAllRng.Find
            .Text = "."
            .Font.Underline = True
            .Replacement.Text = "."
            .Replacement.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineNone
            .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
        End With

      '===========
       With PunctAllRng
                    .HighlightColorIndex = wdBlue
        End With
       '===========
'(PART B)

            With PunctAllRng.Find
                  .Format = True
                  .Text = "."
                  .Font.Bold = True
                  .Replacement.Text = "."
                  .Replacement.Font.Bold = False
                  .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
              End With

             '===========
                With PunctAllRng
                     .HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHighlight
                End With
              '===========

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so much!

Print 2 pages side-by-side on single sheet in Word 2003

Posted: 10 Jul 2013 10:43 AM PDT

I'm running Word 2003 under Windows 2000 Professional.

I'm trying to remember how to print two pages of a document side by side in landscape mode on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

The idea is to create half sheet flyers.

I've done this before but have forgotten what the trick is.  I have an old text file of instructions that I saved a while back.  But one step eludes me:

1. In MS Word, copy  page 1 of the flyer onto page 2 
   (You may want to put a page break in between)
   and then save your new file as [Flyer Name] 2UP.doc.

2. From the  File>Print Menu,  change to landscape mode:

   Print > Properties > Layout > Landscape.

3. Print > Zoom > Pages per sheet >  2

4. Print > Zoom > scale to size > Letter

It's that step 2 that doesn't work for me.

I can't find that "Layout" option.

Can someone help me figure out where it is?

copy content control fields to header

Posted: 10 Jul 2013 03:31 AM PDT

I have a form with content control fields in Word 2013 which the user fills in.

I want the value of one of the fields to be part of my header - i.e. when the field in the body is updated, the field in the header is also updated.

To make it complicated, I want that field in the header only to show from the second page of the header onwards.

 

I tried the legacy text box and bookmark but coldn't make that work.

I am hoping there is something in Word 2013 that will work.

 

thanks

Nested IF/OR statements in mail merge problem

Posted: 09 Jul 2013 06:28 PM PDT

 

I'm working on a Word Mail Merge for a form/directory in Word 2010.  I get the premise of conditional formulas, but often have problems with the placement of the spaces, commas, field code brackets, etc.   In the following example, I'm trying to mail merge information on to a form that will be given to people verify the data and to add data where it is missing.  So, I started with an If statement that basically said if the field is blank, show a line, if the field is not empty, show the data.  This worked okay until I hit the problem with a field where the database either showed a zero or a blank field.  So, I attempted to do a nested If/of statement, but am apparently missing something and it's making me crazy.  Here's what I have:

 

{ If{ MERGEFILED "Fieldname" }="" "_______________" { if{ MERGEFIELD "Fieldname:}=0 "_____________" { MERGEFIELD "Fieldname"}{ MERGEFIELD "Fieldname"}}}

 

The result is:    Error! Unknown op code for conditional.

I used the Alt+F9 to do the editing and also used ctrl+F9 to enter the field code brackets (which I might add is very confusing and may be part of my problem.  I think there's an extra bracket on the end, but I can remove it without losing it all -- what's with that?  Argh). 

Any ideas as to what's missing or what should be removed? 

Office Language Inteface Pack is not installing

Posted: 09 Jul 2013 10:49 AM PDT

Hi.
I hope someone can help me with this.

I have bought and installed Windows 8 on my desktop PC and installed my Office 2010 Home and Student on it. So far so good.
However, I need to use the Afrikaans proofing tools, which don't seem to work. Here's what I did:

I downloaded the office 2010 LIP and installed it. This seemed to finish without problems, but when i go to the language settings of Office, it is still "not installed". I have also tried other ones, including the 32-bit one, guessing that maybe Office didn't install as 64-bit, but no luck.

I used this same process on my laptop running Windows 7 and it worked fine - Is this a problem with Windows 8?
Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

Hello all!

I hope you can help me. I'm working with differents Office versions and I found that I cannot unprotect my document in the new Office 2013 version.

I try to do:

document.Unprotect(ref oPass);

This code throws me an error "... this command is not available for reading...".

I use the same code in other versions and it works fine.

Someone  know who is happening?

Thanks so much!

Missing Proofing Tools Even After Installing

Posted: 07 Jul 2013 10:34 AM PDT

When I open Word it says Missing Proofing Tools.  I downloaded the Proofing Tools and installed.  Then restarted word and it Still says Missing Proofing Tools (and I checked by mistyping words and the proofing tools still is not working).  

I have installed proofing tools many times now and Word still is not recognizing this.  What can I do to actually get Proofing tools to work?

Notes:

1) The registry-based solution on http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/MasterSpellCheck.htm did not work for me.
2) I'm using the HUP version of Office 2013 (http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/chooser.aspx?culture=en-US)
3) I already tried installing the proofing tool, even by running it "as administrator."

Mail merge - add correct logo and footer to a letter based on the group name for the customer

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 01:15 AM PDT

Hello all

My customers belong to one of seven groups, and I have the name of the group in one of my spreadsheet columns. I currently do a separate Word mail merge for each group, because although the text remains the same, each group needs a different logo and footer.

Is there a way of doing this as one mail merge?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Scott,

I wondered if it could be that, but thought the bcc: recipient would show

Hi,

the goal is the following:

I have one address and two aliases on my university mail server (MS
exchange). Let's call it mail.example.com
I want to forward all the email I receive there to my machine
(unchanged) and leave a copy on the exchange server.

By unchanged I mean:
- no header changes (no stripping of CC fields)
- no "To:" field changes.

If I receive a mail to example.com the mail has to be
forwarded with "To: example.com" in the header and not
changed with "To: example.com".

Thanks again.

forwarding 

Lanwench,

There is now another option besides BES and the destop redirector, called
the Blackberry Web Client. It allows your mail to be forwarded without
having the redirector running on your machine in the office (difficult when
the user has a laptop that they take with them). It might be a bit
bass-ackwards with an Exchange setup, though. I've installed BES a few
times and agree that it's all that and a bag of chips. Side benefit now is
that the coverage should be better now that they've merged with Sprint.

Fedora 2 - Can't Get on LAN

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 02:24 PM PDT

"Luke" <com> wrote in message news:<waH4d.143221$3l3.126954@attbi_s03>... 

If dhcp is available (from ISP?) then you are likely in a subneted
environment and will have a GW IP address for default routes -- see
below.
 

Probably not needed, but it's always handy to provide ifconfig output.
Command/data output is _always_ preferred to descriptions of the
output.
 

Did you run ethereal on the "problem" host? "arp -v"? "netstat -rc"?
 

Good ...
 

Note the entry for your default route -- there is no gw IP, which
pretty much makes this entry useless and problematic.

Presumably this host sits on the 10.1.249.0 subnet and should be using
a gw on that subnet to route packets beyond the local subnet
(typically 10.1.249.1 or sometimes 10.1.249.254).

If this is strictly a local, private lan made of a single segment,
hosts connected via a hub/switch, then you don't really need a gw as
arp will find the proper mac addresses for the other hosts (since it
appears you've not turned off arp).

If your lan is segmented (ie., employs a router between segments) then
you probably want a default gw (and its IP).

If you wish to restrict this host to "local" traffic, then you don't
need a default route.

If you have a router facing the internet you will have to provide a gw
IP to move traffic for this host.

If you don't need a default route, get rid of the entry. If you need
a default route, provide a gw IP so that the packets (actually the
ethernet frames) are properly addressed.

Mouse Setup

I linked the mouse to /dev/psaux and got X to boot up but the mouse isn't
responding now
(I also added

Section "ServerFlags"
AllowMouseOpenFail
EndSection

to the XF86Config.new file)

I used cat /dev/psaux and moved my mouse around and when I moved it output
chars so I imagine its using that port.

any ideas to help get it to work?

CD burner problems with custom kernel

Posted: 22 Sep 2004 04:27 AM PDT

I don't know if this helps you, but I found 2 pointers in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/ide-cd

- append 'hdc=noprobe hdc=cdrom' to your boot kernel parameters.

- if that does not help, you can add the line
#define VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS 1
at the beginning of ide-cd.c, which will maybe give you better

The app is for internal use only, it does have a SSH option as well,

Also, one of the strong points is that I can use a single client to

app does allow you to change the text, but it is in the options

But it sounds like I would have to do a recompile to get this to work.
