Microsoft Word - Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Microsoft Word - Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Fix formatting on Reference Source Manager window

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 03:05 PM PDT

I have Office 365 and am using the Reference manager to build my reference list.  When I open the Source Manager, every preview of my references in the bottom window is crammed over to the left (about 7-8 characters per line).   How do I fix this so I can actually see the preview?

Thanks,

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 02:29 PM PDT

I have a suit 2010, and I'm using mail merge to link Excel file with word file, my problem is word 2010 support only 249 columns to merge, it's any program or update I may need  that I can use to merge up to 400 columns?

this is junk!

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:56 PM PDT

About three times a week, Office is busy and says it will be a short time. Last week it was like this from 6am until 1 am. EST. This made me late for 2 homework assignments and as of today, I again cannot open my paper I started. I put this on my computer, in my skydrive AND saved to a external flash drive and still cannot get access.  All I get is Office is Busy!!

copy / paste into read-only table

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:53 PM PDT

I have a read-only form with editable areas which include a six column table.  I have highlighted each row, including end-of-cell markers and made editable.  I cannot copy and paste multiple rows of copy, but if I copy and paste one row at a time the text gets pasted in.

 

Is this the way it is supposed to work?  I don't want to copy in the rows, only the contents.  Am I doing something wrong?

All my office products spell check is not working

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:43 PM PDT

If I compose a new e-mail, reply to an e-mail, or forward an e-mail, it opens up the dialog box and suggests a word for the first misspelled word. If I click any of the buttons besides "Cancel", it acts like it is going to do the button's action, but then only gives me the choice to "Resume". If I click that, it keeps me at the same misspelled word and won't move from there. Same exact thing happens when I try to spell check a Word document. I'm running the app from a virtual server environment and the client is having the issue. None of the other clients are having these issues. Any ideas folks?

Branching in a Microsoft Word form

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:31 PM PDT

I would like to create a form that allows for branching.  For example: Depending on the answer to question 1, it will allow you to proceed to the next question, and so on.  If the any question does not meet the criteria, the applicant is alerted that they do not meet the criteria, and the form is closed out.

There is a pre-release or Beta version of an Office product on your computer error when installing Office 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 12:32 PM PDT

 

Does anyone know why this message appears?  I never had a beta version of anything on my computer and only released product.  MS Office 2010 was updated to MS Office Pro 2013.   I had been using MS-Word for a couple of weeks without any problems and today when I attempted to run the program the splash screen appeared and nothing else. 

 

After the splash screen did nothing except for the animated dots going across the UI I clicked on the X in the upper right, but not all Services closes so I performed a Cold Boot.  After the cold boot I attempted a Repair.   The Repair performed a partial uninstall instead leaving a generic Office 2013 icon in Control Panel Add/Remove. 

 

After realizing the install was now "toast" I attempted to reinstall www.office.com/setup and received the Beta Version or Pre-Release was on the system, however this is and was not the case.  When researching this problem I ended up running the Fix-It Uninstall which did leave me at a point where I could perform a new installation, but this time I used the CD copy I ordered from Microsoft as part of the first 2013 install.

 

The installation completed and so far uneventful.  I just don't have a real cushy feeling about this and being a former MS Engineer I don't like that feeling at all. 

 

When I was running Office 2010, Word would hang and I would have to perform a Repair every now and then.   This worked so when I installed 2013 I thought these problems of the hangling splash screen would be over, but I was wrong as today and with 2013 the spash screen hung again.

 

Does any of what I said sound familiar to anyone else?

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

Conditional statement in text box

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 10:44 AM PDT

Hi all,

Every time I attempt to add a conditional statement to my mergefield that I have placed inside a text box, I get an error saying:

"You cannot include DATA, NEXT, NEXTIF, or SKIPIF fields in comments, headers, footers, footnotes or endnotes."

It gives me this error no matter what rule I apply to the mergefield. Is a text box considered any of those conditions?

I need to apply a NEXTIF or IF,THEN,ELSE to a mergefield, otherwise there will be a LOT of deleting. I use the text box as a way to show the balance due.

Thanks!

Only seeing a partial picture from a picture object

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 10:34 AM PDT

On Word 2007 I have a picture object with a bunch of boxes etc.  When I close that picture, the Word document only shows some of the picture object,  How do I get Word 2007 to show the entire picture object.  There was a way to do this in earlier Word versions; but I cannot find the solution for this version.

 

Having major problems using INCLUDEPICTURE for a mail merge.

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:42 AM PDT

I know this is a common question.  I'm using Word 2010 and connecting to a SQL 2012 local Express database for a Mail Merge.  

I have a string field in my table defining a location for an image.  I am certain the path is correct.  I've verified that the string itself is getting through correctly.  (C:\\TEST\\FILENAME.jpg, etc).  

Most of the examples I've looked at talk about inserting a picture with the Link To File option, then doing an Alt F9.  Beyond that I just can't get it to work.  

I have, among other things followed Graham Mayor's advise and unchecked the Update Link on Save option (although I still seem to be getting that //..//..// format.)

Beyond that my attempts have mostly been similar to this,  Alt-F9 then insert variations like this: 

{INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "MERGEFIELD ClientImage" }" \* MERGEFORMAT \d}

(By the way, it's not clear to me from my reading whether all the brackets should be generated by CTRL-F9 or just the outermost.  I've tried it both ways, without success.)

Does anyone have a reliable list of steps they could provide?  This is getting too frustrating.

Links and browsers

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:31 AM PDT

Ordinarily when I put a link in a Word document and later click on it the page in question opens in Internet Explorer, my default browser.  But sometimes I want the page to open in another browser, such as Firefox.  Is there a way to direct the link to use that other browser?  I know that I can make another program the default browser, but going back and forth between browsers this way is a bit klutzy.  And I think I can copy a link and paste it into another browser.  It's hardly a big problem but is there a more elegant solution?

Linking Numbered Heading Styles

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:04 AM PDT

I have been searching for answers on how to do this, but have so far come up empty.  Also, please note that the links you've been supplying to Shauna Kelly's "How to Create Numbered Headings or Outline Numbering" article no longer work.  The first page discussing the topic is still there, but the links to the actual methods of doing it for either Word 2003 and earlier or Word 2007 and 2010 no longer bring anything up.

What I'm trying to do is set up a Word template that has outline numbered headings that would look like this:

1.0 Heading 1
 1.1 Heading 2
  1.1.1 Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Heading 5

I have successfully created the above headings with all their associated formatting and they work, except for one thing.  I need each list linked to the previous heading level so that I get the following when creating lists:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 5
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.2.1 Based on Heading 3
  1.2.2 Based on Heading 3
   1.2.2.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.2.2.1.1 Based on Heading 5
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 2.1 Based on Heading 2
  2.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   2.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
   2.1.1.2 Based on Heading 4
    2.1.1.2.1 Based on Heading 5, and so forth.

What I end up getting is either of these two formats by changing some of the numbering options:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.2 Based on Heading 3...

or

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3...

I have tried every option that I can find to try to link the numbering in levels 2 - 5 to the number used in the previous level, but nothing has worked so far.  

Is it possible to do this?

I'd very much appreciate any help that could be provided.

Word Table Layout Formula calculations - adding up negatives

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:32 AM PDT

I am using formulae in a Table Layout using the Formula tab and cell references like =(D10-C10)    I've got the Number Format working and it basically works but

a) the minus does not seem to work e.g I have a formula to calculate e.g. b8-c8, b9-c9, b10-c10 etc.. the results of each are in d8,d9,d10

I'm trying to add this up into a total in d12

This works fine until in the final sum formula using =SUM(ABOVE)   which is summing the results of other sums.  This basically works but ignores any negative numbers

My sense is that word does not allow a sum of formula to include negative numbers, though a sum of cells can work correctly taking account of negatives

Any thoughts very welcome

b)also, F9 only works when cells are covered, not just when I click in a cell ?

Word 2007: cannot control placement of picture within a Word-created table

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:05 PM PDT

Dear All,

I have a document with many tables and figures.  I am inserting tables and figures as picture into tables that I have created in Word 2007.  For instance, if I would like a table with a caption on top, I insert a table with 2 rows and 1 column.  I then paste the tale into the lower row, write the caption in the upper row, and specify the table as not having a visible boundary.  I am doing this so that tables/figures and their captions are "locked" together and moving them around is easier.

This has worked great except in the following modified scenario.  I have a large table that I have rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it is displayed in landscape in a sense, however I do not want the page it is on to be rotated so as to be landscape.  With a page in portrait and the table rotated, then the printed page should be the same as inserting page breaks, making an individual page landscape, and inserting the table as non-rotated.  The reason why I do not want to create a lanscaped page is again because I will be moving things around later and messing with page breaks, etc is a bit clunky.

The problem is when I try to insert this rotated table as a picture into a Word table so that I can caption the top.  I have inserted a Word table that is 1 row by 2 columns.  I have then inserted into the left most column the table and would like to insert a caption in the right most column with text rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it matches the inserted table's orientation.  When I do this this, I cannot get the table (inserted as a picture) to be properly aligned with the Word table's left most column.  It (the picture table) wants to be right justified to the page.  If I try to move it or resize the Word table it just cuts off part of the table and maintains this orientation.  I have played around with various wrapping and other settings and have not gotten the desired result.  I'm sure if I made the text wrapping one of behind text then I could move it where I'd like but then this immediately causes headaches with the body text being over the inserted picture table, etc.

What I am wanting is rather straightforward, insert a picture (table as a picture) into a column of a Word 2007 table and have precise control over where this picture table is shown within the particular cell of the table.  Can anyone help?

Predessor occurs after task

Posted: 24 Sep 2004 02:41 AM PDT

You are reversing yourself. You first said the successor is coming before
the predecessor, in this message you said "the predecessor comes before the
task" which seems to say the task in question comes after the predecessor.
Which is it?

In a Finish-to-Start link, the predecessor normally does finish before the
successor starts, unless there is a lead time in the link or a constraint on
the successor that overrides the normal behavior.

This all assumes you are scheduling from start date forward. A lot changes
when you schedule from finish date backwards and such scheduling is rarely a
good idea even if you have very strong deadlines. You didn't mention which
you are doing.

Coding iterations

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 06:23 PM PDT

The *same* task cannot take part in multiple iterations. *Similar* tasks
might occur, but a task is a block of work taking place between time A and
time B. It requires both the type of work and the start and end time frame
to define a task. A repetition, with the same sort of work taking place
between time C and time D, a different time frame, is actually a different
task even though it may have the same name. After all, if I have to repeat
the widget waxing I could put substitute a new resource for the second
round. Since the purpose of the plan is to produce a schedule, every
iteration of the tasks must appear individually at the time frame where they
will be scheduled to occur. Otherwise, you have no way to advise the
resources when they will be expected to engage in that particular activity.
This means you really can't put in an iteration as a task with a counter
because that will appear in the schedule at only one spot rather than
recurring for each iteration. The best way might be to make a best-guess,
worst-case scenario of the number of interations likely and enter them all
in the plan. Then when you get closer to the events you can refine your
estimate and add or remove iterations as needed.

Start 10 days After

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 04:44 PM PDT

Hi Josh (and the rest of the gang)

Perhaps we are applying too narrow an interpretation on Josh's question.
I'll be making a bit of an assumption, but here goes:

T2 earliest start is March 1st OR 10 days after the finish of T1 - whichever
is the later. If this is correct, then it can be programmed by applying the
contraint of FNLT of Feb 15th on T1. Then on T2 you'd apply the constraint of
SNET March 1st, complete with the T1+10 days predecessor.

If T1 is scheduled to finish earlier than 10 days before the March 1st, and
your T1 duration extends, Project will extend the bar length up until the end
the specified FNLT date. If T1 duration continues to extend, then the bar
length wil begin to start the task earlier, as per requirements.

If T1 is driven by a predecessor, say T-1, and Rescheduling Uncompleted Work
drives the task durations into conflict, you will then get the warning
message. Moreover, if progress has started on T1, and you have to Reschedule
Uncompleted Work or amend the duration of T1 such that the end-date of T1
goes beyond the FNLT date, you will be given a warning....thereby having T1
drive out the start date of T2.

Overall, it seems to work reasonably well...but like anything else, you have
to keep an eye on it. To make monitoring it a little easier, I inserted a
Deadline arrow on T2.

If I've got this all wrong, please beat me with a spiked club.

Project 2003 - Can a default be set to start each task at 8:00 AM

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 12:21 PM PDT

Hi

i've used a little "trick" occassionally in a project to force a task to
move to a certain time, but i don't know how to do it for every task.

What i've done is create a new calendar that has a working time of 1minute
(8am to 8.01 am)
then when i've had to "force" a task to move say to the next morning i've
added a task (Task A) between this task (Task 2) and it's predecessor (Task
1) with the duration of 1 minute and then assigned the calendar to it ..
this makes the TaskA go to 8am on the next day and then Task 2 follows it. -
you can then change row height & format the row so it can't been seen when
printing - but as i said, it wouldn't be a solution if you had to do it for
every task in the project

Cheers

Start-to-Finish dependancy looks odd in Gantt Chart

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 09:32 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your assistance.
You'll need 3 tasks to test this (I think). Task 1 and Task 2 are normal
Finish-to-Start dependancy. Task 1 needs a duration longer than the
"tuesday" task (Task 3), I set it to 10 days (while Task 3 will be 1 day).
Task 2 then has a Start-to-Finish dependancy with Task 3. You should see
the abnormal behavior with this setup. Task 3 appears to stretch out over
multiple days, even though it has only 1 day duration. Oh and I am setting
up a special "tuesday" calendar that Task 3 uses (Tools->Change Working
Times->New. Then just assign the calendar to Task 3).

After reading your explanation I think you may be seeing the long bar as
well ("The bar is there over Wed and Thur just like it flows over the
weekend for a 2 week task but the task is a 1 day duration task"). I do not
want the bar, I want an arrow (1 day bar, several days arrow going to the
next task). If you do the same thing with all Finish-to-Start dependancies
the 1 day task bar never stretches over 1 day, even if the next task doesn't
start for several days afterwords.

If you want an explanation as to why I need my project set up like this:
We have a project with several Phases (6 to be exact), each with a main
Construction Task. The Construction tasks need to happen one right after
the next (standard Finish-to-Start dependancies). However, before each
Construction phase, the phase must be approved in a commision meeting (which
only takes place on tuesdays). This meeting needs to happen just soon
enough that the Construction phase will be able to start immediately after
the previous construction phase ends. I want the project Gantt Chart to
accurately show that this task only occurs on a Tuesday and is complete on
that day, but I want the dependancies so that it moves if Construction
phases finish early or late.

Hope that explains my problem better.
Ryan

incorrect value in summary tasks for the baseline cost fields.

Hello,
I think it's the normal behavior of a baselined data :
The summary was baselined at $10000 for instance with 3 children tasks. You
delete a children task which was baselined at $2000.
The summary baseline stays at $10000 but Project displays a Variance of -
2000 .

Anyway, you can baseline the project a second time and clear the variance.

Having to access the Web for help with MS Project is a pain and a.

Hi aggravated,

You can ask Project (and other Office 2003) products to
search the local help files first instead of going out to
the web.
Go to help menu and choose "Microsoft Project Help." In
the Project Help task pane, click the "Online Content
Settings..." hyperlink. Remove the check from "Search
online content when connected." You will still have the
option of searching online if you don't find the answer
you need searching the local help files.

Hope this helps.
