I need to delete extra short line under endnotes in Word 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 03:01 PM PDT

There is a short horizontal line showing up (same length as the endnote separator) directly under the endnotes. I don't think it's a border but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

Word VBA: Finding/deleting the next text box

How is that done?

Linking Microsoft Word and Excel

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 02:03 PM PDT

Howdy. Well. I have no problem linking Excel Documents and Word Documents... But my overall goal is to create a template in excel and word that can be copied into other folders. So when it is copied, the link is not broken between the new copied files. Whenever I do this, it seems to break the link, and I don't want to fuss around with relinking both files.

 

Thank you for any help.

I don't want the "SitePoint" or "SkyDrive" options in my Share menu. Can I get rid of them?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 01:56 PM PDT

I e-mail documents frequently, and do not use SitePoint or SkyDrive. I will never ever ever use SitePoint or SkyDrive, and yet I'm forced to scroll around to skip them every time I try to "Share" a document. Is there any way I can remove these nags from the FIle/Share menu in MS Word 2011 for Mac? 

Word 2010 will not attach and send document through Outlook 2010

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:37 PM PDT

I have Office Home and Business 2010.  I recently upgraded to a new computer and switched things over.  My old computer ran XP and now I have Windows 7.  I'm using POP accounts in Outlook.  I didn't have a problem writing a document in Word and then emailing it through Outlook as a PDF. I tried on Windows 7 and get an error message saying "this action is not supported while an older version of Outlook is running".   There are no older versions of Outlook on this computer.  The help simply stated "Word couldn't send mail because of MAPI failure; operation not supported."  I'm at a loss.

Unexplained Autocorrect

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 12:27 PM PDT

In the last few days I have suddenly been plagued by my name appending at the end of words like "can't" "won't" and "isn't". So "won't" becomes "won'Monica".  The only new thing I have added to this machine was during a Webinar I used my own fat fingers as an example. I added 'Moncia' Replaced with 'Monica' to the AutoCorrect list. (Never had a problem using that on other PC's and there is a long story but I am working on a fresh install of Office 2010.)  I have since deleted that addition from AutoCorrect and checked through every potential example of said words in the autocorrect list to see if something weird got added in error. Nothing. I've been through my Auto Text - nothing even close in there. Checked the Macros list - nada; so I have deleted my Normal.dotm - still happens. What have I missed? Where could this be coming from? I feel like I've been pranked.

Word 2013: Don't want blank line every time I hit "Enter"

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:14 AM PDT

Just started using Word 2013.  By default, it adds a blank line every time I hit "Enter."

 

I don't want that.  When I hit "Enter" I want it to go to the next line, not two lines down.

 

How do I change the default?

SEQ Numbering- skip numbers/letters?

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:12 AM PDT

I was wondering if there was a way to skip a specific number of letters in the SEQ field.

For example, in my document I have a set of four appendices ("Appendices B through E") that I want to keep together.

Is there a way I can type it into the field to skip three numbers without having to type \r "5" for "Appendix E"?


Thanks!

Windows 8, Norton 360, Word 2007

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Hi There:

 

I'm not exactly sure of where the problem lies, but I'll lay it out for you as best I can.  I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 8, and did a clean install of the software licenses I had for my old (Windows 7) computer.  Among them is Microsoft Office 2007, and I also have Norton 360.  These programs worked fine on my old computer, but on this one, every time I open a file in Word I get the following error message:

There is a problem saving the file.
Usually this is because the disk or floppy disk is too small for the file or is full, RAM memory is low, or there is a permission problem with the drive the file is being saved to.

If the amount of disk space for a paging file is low, save the file to another drive. If the RAM memory is low, increase available RAM. If permissions to the drive do not allow you to save to that drive, save the file to another drive or request permissions from the administrator to save files to the drive.
Note: This error can also occur if the computer is running a version of antivirus software that is not compatible with the Microsoft Office system or needs to be updated.
 

The first place I went here, the Microsoft support forums, where I was directed to this site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/329820/en-us

Following the instructions I opened Norton 360, went to Settings/Antivirus/Scans and Risks and discovered that the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan was on. I turned it off and clicked Apply, then Close. Re-opened Word, tried opening a file and received the same error message.  Went back into Norton 360, re-enabled the Microsoft Office Automatic Scan and tried that.  No difference.



Then I went to the Norton 360 support forums, where it was suggested I check a couple of things.  Windows 8 (not 8.1), 64-bit, 8 GB RAM all good. No problems with other Office Suite programs, just Word. Windows Update automatically updates MS Office files as well and Norton also auto-updates.


Last night I re-downloaded the MS Office install file and did a Repair install.  Shut down the computer, turned it on this morning and I still have the same problem.  I may have to completely uninstall Office, clean the registry, etc. and re-install Office but I'd rather not do that if there's a simpler solution.


Mike.


P.S.  Just to complicate things, my desktop computer is also running Windows 8, has the same Norton 360 license, the same Microsoft Word 2007 license, and if I open the same file(s) on my desktop I don't get an error.

My Word 2013 autocorrect will not allow me to input any words beginning with a captial "i".

Posted: 19 Jul 2013 07:39 AM PDT

Many of my documents must be in all caps. For example it will not take "IM" into "I'M".  Autocorrect forces the initial "i" into lowercase.  And because all the text is in uppercase, any word beginning with an "i" cannot be autocorrected.  How do I fix this?  Thank you!

Something went wrong while downloading your template

Hello,

When clicking on a supplied template to open it, the process fails and gives the error message - "Something went wrong while downloading your template". We had the same issue with online templates in Office 2010. Has anyone had this same issue and is there a fix for it? We use Sophos Endpoint Security for anti-virus. Thanks.

Error on a Word 2007 document running macro on Word 2003

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 09:00 PM PDT

I am currently running Word 2003 on my computer at work.  I have a document which allows me generate a quotation of a machine for a customer.  I was given a template which includes a macro specific to this quotation template.  I'm having a few problems with it.

 

Few things you need to know first:

  1. The template I was given is a Word 2007 document, but I've manage to download a program which allows me to open them in Word 2003.
  2. Included with the template there are also additional documents which are the different types of machines or specifications that relate to whatever quotation is required.

The previous template was a Word 2003 document, so I had no problems running the macro, but the procedure was as follows:

 

  1. I opened up the template document, the contents was basically the beginnings of a quotation (it had a letterhead, address, cover letter, contents and various other items which were related to the quote.)
  2. I would run the macro and instantly a box would appear titled "Quotation Generator" (see Pic 1)
  3. From here I would click the drop down boxes to make selections (see Pic 2)
  4. I would then select "Create Quotation"
  5. Quotation would be generating prices, specifications and the particular machine I selected for quotation.

Now with new machines being introduced, the template has now be updated and now in Word 2007 format, including the numerous documents for each particular machine they now have.


So now when I follow the same procedures as before, it gives me an "Error 76 - Path not found".  


So when I run the macro, I get the Error 76 box and then the "Quotation Generator" box appears to allow me to make my selections.  Once I make my selections using the drop down boxes (see Pic 2) and I've selected "Create Quotation", I get another box saying the following:

 

Microsoft Visual Basic

 

Run-time error '5174':

 

This file could not be found.

Try one or more of the following:

*Check the spelling of the name of the document.

*Try a different file name.

(\UKRaptorSpec.docx)

 

[Continue]           [End]                      [Debug]                          [Help] 

 

 

The last part is the selections I have to choose from, its not allowing me to continuing, but asks me to either End, which takes me back to an incomplete quotation document, or Debug which takes me the Microsoft Visual Basics Screen and then to a QuoteDialogueBox (Code).


I want to know if there is any way to correct the macro so I won't get the errors.


I have all documents in Word 2003 format as well Word 2007 format which was originally given to me.  I've tried running the new template which is in Word 2003 format but still have the same error coming up.  And the same applies if I run the Word 2007 template, I get the same error.


I hope someone can help :)

How do I adjust SEQ fields for pictures in a table?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:55 PM PDT

Greetings, folks.

Here's what I've been trying to do: basically, I've been trying to align and caption some diagrams, in accordance to the first image below. I'm using a table to help with the alignment: 


What usually happens, however, is THIS:


Adjusting the SEQ fields with the "\r" and "\c" switches does not quite work effectively; even though I can barely manage to make something similar to the first image, all it takes is a single new image caption to reproduce the same results shown in the above picture. The picture below shows the field codes as they currently stand, no modifications made:


Does anyone have any ideas about how to remedy this? Or do captions in tables usually flow from rows first, columns second?

This has been troubling me for quite a while. Therefore, any help you guys have would be deeply appreciated.

A side note: the table above was made with a 4-cell, 2X2 table, with the second column merged. If that's got something to do with caption flow / SEQ field flow, that might be a clue, I guess.

How to format page numbers in Word 2013?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:15 PM PDT

Greetings!

 

I have some edits that I have to complete for my Graduate school in order to complete my dissertation and graduate.  

 

The Graduate school wants the bottom of the page numbers to be exactly 1" from the bottom of the page.  Is there a way to set the defaults for Word 2013 to do this?  Also, I need to avoid orphans and widows.  I recently changed to 2013 from 2003, so this setting may have changed...

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Why print size is reduced automatically in words 2010?

Style Heading 4 in paragraph missing in Navigation Pane, Word 2013

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 04:52 PM PDT

In Word 2013, I changed text to heading 4 style at the beginning of paragraphs and it didn't appear in navigation, except for one phrase with no normal text after the heading text.

I have a long document (200+ pages) with Style Headings 1-3 for organization. I was manually adding a 4th heading at the beginning of some paragraphs and decided to switch to using Style, so they would appear in the Table of Contents (via Word Reference menu) later. I edited all those to Style Heading 4, and all but one were not added to the Navigation Pane. The one that was added had no paragraph (Style Normal) text after the Heading 4 text, while all the others did. I want all of the Style Heading 4 headings to appear in the Navigation Pane, and later in the Table of Contents when I add it. It appears that only paragraphs with Style Heading will add to the Navigation Pane, not text that is assigned to Style Heading in a Style Normal paragraph (even though the formatting changes to the set style).

To resolve this problem, I tried:
- Closing out of all Word documents and re-opening the file.
- Copying a segment of text and pasting it into a new Word file. This did not fix the problem, though all the other heading styles copied correctly.
- Checking the Styles Pane for incorrect data. There were no differences between the heading that appeared in the Navigation Panes and those that didn't.
- Adding a paragraph space between the Heading 4 text and the Normal text. This did not add it to the Navigation Pane. I use Word with "Show Formatting" enabled, so I noticed the paragraph marker was still black after the Heading 4 text. I selected the line and changed the whole thing to Heading 4, the paragraph marker turned blue, and the Heading 4 text appeared in the Navigation Pane. Then I tried deleting the space to get my paragraph back where I want it, and it changed the whole paragraph from Normal to Heading 4. It then locked, and wouldn't let me change the paragraph back to normal. I had to undo to get it back to the Styles I want, removing it from the Navigation Pane.

Below is a simplified Style text layout. Heading 4a doesn't show in the Navigation Pane, but Heading 4b does. All the other Style Heading text appears in the Navigation Pane, and doesn't have additional styles in the paragraph, like Heading 4a does.

X. Heading 1
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

A. Heading 2
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

1. Heading 3
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

a. Heading 4a. normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal
b. Heading 4b.
normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal normal

Is this a bug? If yes, is there a workaround that will let me keep normal paragraphs with headings that show in the navigation pane? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

How can I paste text without the formatting with a hotkey?

Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:24 PM PDT

Hello!

Is there a way to insert copied text without the formatting into a Word document?

Usually, I use the option STRG+V and then I format it, but my question is if there is a faster way? I know that there is this option "insert as plane text", but is there a hotkey available?

I do not want to create a macro, I just want to know how to work faster. :)

Thanks!

Is this intended to include members of the users group in the disk

says you should list /user/ names, seperated by commas. Nothing about
group names to be included.

By the way, don't include anyone in the disk group. That user could just
overwrite the whole hard disk. Include the user joe in the cdrom group,
and change ownership of hdc from root.disk to root.cdrom (if hdc is the
device file of your cdrom). You probably also want to remove the write
bit for others from hdc.

And again: To mount the device you /don't/ need write access to the
device file (in fact, not even read access). That same is true for the
directory you are going to mount the device.

The mount program should be suid root, and thus runs as root, even if
you call it as a user. It will still allow users to mount and unmount
file systems, if there is a matching entry for the device in the fstab
with the user or users option set.
 

You need an entry in your /etc/fstab with the user option set for that
device, e.g.

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

If this were true, it would pose a problem, But it is not true. Grub can in

Can linux box support 2 host names / 2 ip addresses

Posted: 30 Sep 2004 02:15 PM PDT

> Here is my problem:

Nope.

I think it would be easier to make a list of the duplicated services
you want to have on the new box (web, mail, samba, dns, etc.) and find
a way to do it for each one. For example, web and mail support virtual
hosting. The DNS can handle multiple zones by itself. You can also do
the dual-Samba trick i explained in my previous post, and so on.

If you want to have people logging in on ssh and see a new environment,
you can do it with chrooted sshd, only you need to mount /proc in the
chroot, which by my opinion is too insecure. (the hostname stays the
same, as is the same kernel)

If you want separate '/proc's and hostnames, go for the vserver kernel
patch, at http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/project/ . But i urge you to
reconsider your problem, because I don't want a newbie on my conscience
(kernel patching is a dangerous sport for beginners)

Can't install Linux from CD on a VIA EPIA ME6000 Mini-ITX board!

I would certainly expect it to, yes. I've never tried, though.
 

The great advantage of VIA CPUs is their low operating current and
consequently low heat emission. They suffer a little in some benchmarks
comparing them with similarly-clocked Pentium IIIs and Celerons because
their L2 cache is only 64k. They're nevertleless excellent for small server
applications that need to run 24/7 without costing too much or overheating
the room, and for domestic appliance applications (DVD players, PVRs, MP3
servers) where quiet operation is important.
 

I've not used either (just SuSE, Fedora and Gentoo), but my impression is
also that Debian is not quite as easy as the "consumer" distros like SuSE
and Mandrake. I mentioned Debian to the OP because I know it can be had in
a generic x86 build (though a 586 build should work on his ME6000 too).

Laurenz,
Please,
I was *NOT* bothered by your advice. Tone of voice dies in this forum,
and there has been a misinterpetation of my words. I did not mean
sarchasm, but appriciation. I am a newbie. I do like any help, even if
it is only a touch.

Can't change volume with ALSA, even as root

It worked! It's an alternative to consider. The only problem is that it has
an 8sec delay to apply the new volume.
Thanks,

Hello,

I'm Ahmed (Xtreme) and i send this mail to give a new suggestion for the next version of OpenOffice which is let the OpenOffice to be work on the different environments.


i'm offer to make a 3 things:

Portable version: which will let OpenOffice to be portal and can be run from any USB so that i can get it with me anywhere to be able to use it on any PC. Also all the settings you make are saved.

PE plugin: Which will let OpenOffice to be used on PE systems. As PE can be put on CD/DVD or USB Flash so that you will have a complete run OS that is portable and can be used any where so that the OpenOffice will gain this advantage and will be a Portable Office which mean that my office in my hand and i can use it to wirte whatever i need when i want at any PC which other companies give it to there users.

- for more info. about PE check below section.
=====================================

Introduction:
Bart's PE Builder helps you build a "BartPE" (Bart Preinstalled Environment) bootable Windows CD-Rom or DVD from the original Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 installation/setup CD, very suitable for PC maintenance tasks.

It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and so on.
This will replace any Dos bootdisk in no time!
More about Bart's PE here -> http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

I'm working on making and developing a plugin for PE field and i really made a lot of plugins like
- Windows Media Center Edition.
- Media Portal.
- ACE Mega Codec.
- K-Lite Mega Codec.
- Windows Media Player (WMP 11).
- Winamp.
- Windows Tablet PC (BETA).
and more but those are the most popular and the only plugins in the world.
=====================================

Unattended Installation: Which will let OpenOffice to be able to integrate with windows installation so that you don't need to install it every time you install windows (i.e. OpenOffice will be installed automatically like Microsoft Windows Media Player).


Now let's talk about purpose of any program.
Any one or company make a program he have one purpose which is spread this program and dominate on the field which program support.

Support the program with a lot of options.
Make a friendly GUI for users.
Make a commercials for the program.
Give the users ability to try the program for free.

The first two points are back to developers team and the 3rd one back to Sales or Marketing team.


Let's answer you question Can you tell me what benefit it would provide?


Allow to program to work on another platform which is Preinstalled Environment (PE) that sure beside normal windows platform which is enhanced and become more easier by adding unattended version.
By being portable i will be able to use it anywhere on any PC but what if this PC have a password on it and i can't access it to use my portable OpenOffice. It is not a problem, all you need is just restart this PC and run it from your PE system and write whatever you wanna using your office.
let's take an example: if you have PE system and your portable version of OpenOffice on your USB. All you need is to plug you USB to PC then

Run your Office if the PC is not protected by any passwords.
Or

Reboot this PC and boot from your PE System so and write what you wanna and enjoy with the PC to do anything you wanna with it.
Thus this will satisfy the first point i said before.


3. By adding an option in the GUI or add the PE plugin under OpenOffice Start Menu Program this will satisfy the 2nd point which allow users to get they work fast and easy.
4. Get a free ads for the program in the PE Forums also in the software website as the first program of its kind that have PE plugin which will be really new.



The only thing that i wanna is to join the OpenOffice Developer Team and sure i will keep supporting all of these 3 things as any member in the team.

Keep in mind (KIM) as the Greek philosopher Aristo said "One of the most successful secrets in the world is doing something that others don't".

That is all. Hope to be useful to you.
I will be waiting for your reply (in both cases).

Regards,

The start menu is part of Windows, specifically Windows98 - WindowsXP.
If you have Windows Vista it is the round circle thing in the bottom
left corner of the destop (on the taskbar) with the flying windows icon
on it.

Assuming Vista. Click the circle icon on the bottom-left corner of the
screen. Look for "Programs" in the pop-up list and point to it. Look for
"OpenOffice.org 2.x" in the new flyout list and point the mouse at
that. In the new flyout menu pick "Writer".

 

That setup file is indeed the "setup.exe" i was talking about. Windows
has the option of turning the .exe extention off, so it is not visible.
If it reports that you can only modify files then you have sucessfully
installed. So my instructions above should work. By the way to prove i
am right regarding setup.exe, try this. Right click on "Setup" and
choose properties from the popup list. Somewhere in the dialogue box
that opens you should be able to find "setup.exe".

I respectfully recommend you look to getting some computer tuition, it
seems you have just enough knowledge to get yourself into trouble at
this stage :)

Yep, it works. I've used it 3 or 4 times and it always seems to place the
text where its supposed to be. Problem apparently solved. Thanks for your
help.
