I have a problem with citations not holding iin the current list when I close the document.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 03:18 PM PDT

Hi

 

When I am working with Citations and I enter new citations they are held in the Master List but when I close my document and reopen to continue working, the citations are lost from the current list and in the document they are now static text only. This only started happening yesterday and I can't recall having done anything to make this happen.

Do you have any suggestions?

Cannot open DOCX. files in Microsoft Office 2010 Starter

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:38 PM PDT

Inserting a Word file that is more than 1 page long.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 02:16 PM PDT

I have a word file into which I insert another word file.  The one which is inserted is way more than a page long.  When I try to print the whole thing, (The file which receives the other one), it just prints the first page.

 

Both files are the result of a word merge.  I want to dynamically insert the one into the other and then have the result.  Is there a way for it to show more than one page?

 


Thanks.

Word 2007. Figure does not appear in list of figures

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:39 PM PDT

I inserted a figure (Jpg file) in a document and, when I created the caption, the caption appeared in a 'box' located at the bottom of the figure.  The box with the caption is resizable and can be moved around the page that contains the figure.  The problem is that the figure does not appear in the table of figures at the beginning of the document (after updating) and does not appear in the figure reference list.  This is the only figure in the document that is giving this problem.  All other figures have a normal caption that is not included in a box at the bottom of the figure.  Please note that, when I turn on the formatting symbols, a strange symbol that looks like a sea anchor is shown below the figure. 

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Thanks

Windows Office (Word, Excel, OneNote, etc.) Erroneous Autocomplete of "Baha'i" to "Baha'I"

I need to know how to PERMANENTLY Adjust list indents to anything other than .25" number position & .05" text indents on my lists.

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 01:28 PM PDT

I am a fairly savvy Word user. I know how to adjust list indent in my numbered or bulleted lists. My problem is when I use numbered or bulleted list it always reverts to a number position of .25, & a text indent of 0.5" in my list. As I said, I know how to go in and change this by right-clicking, the number or bullet, scrolling to 'adjust list indents' and setting the applicable spaces. This works fine for this list but I have same problem on next one. Is there a way to do permanent setting?

Microsft word has disappeared

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 12:41 PM PDT

I saw the the Icons next to word files changed from Word Icons to Orange square Icons. When I clicked one of the files, it says my microsoft office is not installed. But I could still open the files from WORD.  So I looked up question in this community and someone answered with possible solution with this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464297. So I followed the Method 2 because I had three microsoft installed and they were MICOROSOFT OFFICE 2010, MICROSOFT OFFICE CLICK TO RUN, MICROSOFT OFFICE - ENGLISH. So I followed the instruction and uninstalled CLICK TO RUN and restarted computer. when I open to Change or repair MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010 as instructed, I couldn't see any option to change/repair. All i could do with it was to uninstall. Also, at this point I found out MICROSOFT - ENGLISH was gone. 
The Orange square Icons were still there so I clicked one file to open and now it says "this file is missing or corrupted" 
And now my microsoft word program is totally gone from my system. Even the desktop icon looks weird. I tried to click the Microsoft office 2010 and it wants me to enter the product key which I don't have. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get my office programs back? I have windows 7 by the way.

Word stops responding when I paste a pic from the internet and hit save

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 10:41 AM PDT

I used to be able to copy a picture of a puzzle from the Internet, paste it into a Word doc (Word 2007) and save it. I did it hundreds of times with no problems ever. Then I got a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 and Word 2013. Now when I paste a pic from the Internet and hit save, it says "Microsoft Word is not responding". I've waited as long a 15 minutes and it still does not respond. I have to go through the Task Manager to shut Word down. I have saved hundreds of these puzzles in the past and I am following the exact same procedure I always used, but Word stops responding every time upon trying to save the document. Any idea on why it worked in Word 2007 but not in Word 2013?

Multilevel list is adding text indent after row 9 of level 2

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 08:41 AM PDT

I have tried this on Office 2010, 2013 and Office for Mac 2011 and all of them do this.

When I create a multilevel list, level 1 can have as many records as you need without adding any unwanted extra text indents.  Level 2 of the list will add an extra indent after the ninth record in the list.  This seems to only happen with the 1.1 style list.

To reproduce,

Open a new blank document.

Add a new multilevel list using the 1.1. style list.

Type anything in the first level and press enter.

Indent to level 2 and type anything.

Repeat adding lines to level 2 until you get to the 10th line.  There you will see the extra text indent.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Problem with Hidden text that includes Headings, text and tables with images, in word 2010

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:49 AM PDT

I am writing a manual for a client's new product, and I need to hide part of the content because this bit is still in development. They need field trial documentation for a customer who doesn't need that option.

The content I want to hide begins with a Heading at Level 2 , then some Normal style text, some level 3 headings, and a few 2-column tables with images in the left hand column, and text in the right hand column. It spans 4 pages.

I know how I should hide the text, namely to select the content that I want to hide, and then Ctrl+D to bring up the Font dialog, and then select Hidden, and click OK. This hides it just fine.

But if I want to view and edit this hidden content using Ctrl+*, all the hidden content appears, but the tables are squashed into a table on the left about one character wide per column, one character per row, and the hidden content now spans 28 pages. This is impossible to work with, and I cannot adjust the column width.

The only remedy is to select each cell of the table and Ctrl+D etc to unhide the text cell by cell. If I try to select a complete table and unhide it, it only unhides one cell.

 

I had hoped that I could go into Outline View at Level 2, select the heading and then just hide that, but I get the same problem.

 

Any idea what's going wrong? Help!

word 2003 document open slowly in word 2010

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 06:29 AM PDT

Since our corporate updated to Word 2010 from Word 2003 existing documents are very slow to load.

 

The problem appears to be Word is searching for a template that doesn't exist:  I see a "Contacting: \\....\Template WP" message as Word is loading that stays for several seconds.  Once that disappears the document opens.  These are all documents created with Word 98 to Word 2003.  My newer documents created with either default template or my custom template and saved as .docx open quickly.  Resaving the .doc docments as .docx does not change the opening "Contacting:" message.  Checking for the slow documents templates in option menus show "Normal" as the setting.

 

Any clue how I can keep these documents from wasting time looking for a template discarded on the dustbin of my corporate history?

External bluetooth keyboard not working on Word / Office for android

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 05:06 AM PDT

I recently bought Microsoft Wedge Bluetooth Keyboard to use with my office 365 subscription on my android smartphone (Nexus 4). While the keyboard works fine with Google Docs, I was surprised to discover that the external keyboard is not supported by "word" for android or for that matter any other Microsoft office application for android (except Outlook).

 

I am a writer and its sad that I am unable to work on my documents on SkyDrive. I discovered through other posts that the external keyboard functionality was working fine until a July 2013 android update screwed it up.

 

Microsoft, you should work this on priority. People are finally buying your office 365 product for their android smartphones and this bluetooth keyboard issue can be a big hindrance in my decision to continue with the subscription.

apply template to existing document

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 04:31 AM PDT

Hi,

I created a template and placed it in Custom Office Templates folder. Then I opened an existing document, selected the Developer tab, clicked Document Template, selected my custom template, and clicked Attach. Nothing happened to my document. The template contained an image on the cover page and a water mark on the other pages, so I expected them to appear in my existing document. Did I something wrong?

"Keep Text Only" paste option does not work in Office (Word) 2013

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 04:01 AM PDT

After setting up default paste options to paste only the text in both Word 2010 and Word 2013, Word 2010 does the job perfectly while Word 2013 keeps the source formatting. 

The following thread pertains only to Word 2010 and is unhelpful.

I also have not found anyone with this issue in Word 2013. I have reinstalled Office to no avail. 

This would be a huge time saver for me if it worked. What to do Microsoft, what to do?

Word 2010 closes unexpectedly when use copy command

Posted: 11 Sep 2013 03:41 AM PDT

I recently installed Office 2010 after uninstalling Office 2003. 

- Since installation I am having problems with Word 2010 closing unexpectedly when I use the copy command in that program and in other programs.  - It occasionally closes when I open Windows Explorer also when I am working in Word 2010. 

- I use word files in compatability mode as I work from another computer with Word 2003. 

- Have tried registry cleaner, repair of Word 2010 and reinstall.  Problem still present.

- Happens almost every time I use copy command but sometimes is OK for the first few times I use that command.

Thanks for any advice on this.

I have been using word 2002 for a while now and Im doing a big project for uni and want to stick with that for now. Is there anyway I can stay with word 2002?

 

Why has this update happened? Is it normal to try to update the type of office version we are using?

word 2007 windows 8 mistakenly flags words

I have been using Word 2007 for several years on computers running vista.  Recently on my new laptop which runs windows 8 it is underlining many words which are not misspelled (or grammatically incorrect) indicating a mistake.  The indication usually includes a noun which is followed by a comma.  If I move the comma or replace it with a semi-colon the squiggly line disappears.  I have tried to turn off the feature without success.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

2010 Word Download location? Macro Errors?

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 05:47 PM PDT

Early 2012 I purchased Word 2010.  Now, every time I try to open an existing document, or create a document I get a "Macro" errors.  (I have already tried all of the Microsoft Help suggestions without success.)  


One of the Techs from another software company says Word 2010 is corrupted and I should re-load it.  I purchased Word 2010 last year via download.  I have the product key.  However, I can't seen to find a site where I can download the product without paying for it again.   

Suggestions on either of these two issues?

Microsoft Works - Text Character Limitation

Text Character Limitation

Posted: 27 Nov 2005 02:33 PM PST

Thank you for replying, Michael.

I am using Works 7.0. I have a spreadsheet with about 500 rows that I use
to upload inventory to Amazon.com. One of the columns is "Notes". Amazon
allows 1000 characters from this column.

Technically, they only support Excel. I have been using Works and it seems
to be OK except that in my last upload, all rows in the Notes column
truncated at around 255 characters.

The glitch seems to be early on. The operation starts with me downloading a
text file from Amazon listing my current items. I open this file with Works
7.0 and, at that point, it reads fine. But when I save the file to .xls to
work on it, it only seems to save 255 characters in each cell.

If I use Excel, it works fine. But I'm trying to avoid Excel as I'm using a
trial copy and I'd hate to buy one just for this one feature in that Works
seems to do the job in all other aspects. I used Lotus for years (I don't
have that program on this machine) and I find Works closer to Lotus (and
therefore easier for me to handle) than Excel.

Works 7.0 crash

Posted: 16 Nov 2005 10:29 AM PST

I had the same problem. Now I use Microsoft Word. I'm very curious about the
cause of these crashes. Is this something that Microsoft is aware of, and I
wonder if they are trying to create a patch for it. Does anyone out there in
cyberland know? It seems like a rather horrendous defect, especially if you
lose several hours of work each time it happens. It seems to occur when I
hold down some keys for a long length of time as I'm contemplating my next
group of words. I can never remember which set of keys are involved, but I
think the shift key might be one of them.

My Dell, purchased 2 mos. ago, came with Works Suite and Word 2002 is
included with my Works Suite. Did you look in Start-All Programs for
Microsoft Word??

Word can be used to create a form with drop down boxes. Use the "Forms"
toolbar (View-Toolbars-Forms). When you get to the point of your form where
you need a drop down box, click on the drop down box button in the Forms
toolbar. Then right click on the gray box that appears and select
Properties. You can type in all of the items you want in your drop down box.

Don't forget to lock (protect) the form when you are done if you don't want
anyone to change anything on your form. This way only the drop down boxes
can be accessed. You can lock (protect) the form with or without password
protection.

Totaly agree, Fedora Core 3 and Mandrake 10.1 Official are both fresh,

Needed help with Linux installation

Posted: 18 Dec 2004 10:40 AM PST



For those of you who maybe trying to do an initial Linux install
from the CD set and get as far as doing the base install then get the
message:

"deboot strap exited with an error (return value 1)"

followed by the error message:

"Failure trying to run chroat/target dpkg force depend "

and then it tells you the install will terminate and that it
appears you are trying to do the Linux install over a previously
installed version of Linux.

The TM got around this error by not accepting the default position
of the partition to do the install on which was "hda1." Changing it to
the larger folder "hda3" (note your setup cold be different) solved the
problem and gave the system plenty of hard disk space to install
everything it needed to. It appears Linux was trying to install the
base system files into the boot partition instead of the larger
partition designed to hold the system files.

So if you get the error doing an install check to see what
partition you are loading the base system into and make sure it is the
correct one.

Default link type

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:50 PM PST

Hi Makyla

i'm hoping that some of the other people to this forum stop by to give their
opinions ... however, here's mine: -
you CAN schedule from a finish date (project / project information -
schedule from & then put the finish date in), in this way you can still use
the default link types and still achieve what you're after.

However, there has been a number of posts saying that scheduling from a
finish date can product unreliable results and it is always better to
schedule from a start date ... and see what you need to change to achieve
the desired finish date. Unfortunately, i don't know the ins and outs of
the topic but it has something to do with how the critical path is
calculated.

When it comes to SF relationship types there is also a problem with how this
relationship type works when you have more than one predecessor - try this
for an example
(scheduling from a start date) set up a project file as follows:
task 1 - 1d
task 2 - 2d
order materials - 2h
task 5 - 2d - predecessor task 1 FS
task 6 - 2d - predecessor task 2 FS


now what we want to achieve is the ordering of materials to be done before
the start of task 5 or 6 - which ever one comes first .. so we can use a SF
relationship with Task 5 as the predecessor and order materials as the
sucessor .. .and as you notice, project will schedule the order materials
before task 5.

Change the predecessor of order materials to task 6 and project will move
order materials to the start of task 6 - all good .. now make 5 & 6 both
predecessors to the order materials task and notice that project moves it to
the start of the latest one not the start of the earliest one as one would
(possibly) expect.

so basically taking all these things into consideration the recommendation
is that you always schedule from a start date using FS relationships (and
SS / FF & SF were really applicable) and then you look at your project
schedule ... if you're finishing before your deadline, change the start date
.... everything will automatically "adjust", if you're finishing after your
deadline - display the critical path and do what you need to do to bring it
in line.

Hope this helps
Cheers
JulieD

Change default link type

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:47 PM PST

You don't need to do that and actually it is strongly advised not to. First
of all, the links describe logical process relationships between your tasks.
Whether you are scheduling from start date forward or finish date backwards,
you have to put up the walls before you put on the roof because the law of
gravity says you can't build the roof in midair and then stuff the walls in
under it. Physics drives it, not convenience or desired timing or even
schedule mandates. "Erect Walls" is the predecessor and "Apply Roof" is the
successor and the relationship is FS because of the inherent nature of the
building construction process and that's just the way it is.

Now, as for scheduling for a specific finish date. The behavior you say you
want is built right into Project without having to "get creative" with the
links. In the Project menu, you can select Project Information and there you
can designate "Schedule from finish date" and it will set up your tasks just
as you say you want. Now, the problem with that is that it will schedule
all your tasks to occur as late as possible to meet your required finish
date. Unfortunately that also makes ALL tasks in your project critical and
you have no margin for error (and there are ALWAYS unforseeable errors). If
just ONE of your tasks takes any longer to complete than you thought it
would or starts later than you'd planned on because, say, a resource called
in sick, you'll miss your required finish date. The far better way is to
schedule from the earliest practical start date forward, set a deadline of
your required finish date, and then tweak the schedule so you meet the
deadline. You'll probably find some tasks are critical and others not,
allowing you to concentrate your management skills where it really counts.
You can then make an informed decision "Do we start 1 Dec which gives us a 2
week cushion at the end or do we start 15 Dec and make sure Tasks 10, 17,
and 22 don't run late at any cost, ready to pull people off of Task 19
(which has a lot of float) if it turns out that one critical task runs late
and we need to move 'em to the delayed task to get it done back on
schedule?"

Configuring tasks in weeks not days

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 10:39 AM PST

Simply enter the durations in weeks. An entry of 3m is minutes, 3h is
hours, 3d is days, 3w is weeks, and 3mon is months.

How do I rename a project after it's been published?

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 09:54 AM PST

We're using 2003. I downloaded and ran the tool but keep getting an error:

"The server did not recognize your request"

I can only seem to log in by checking the "Trusted Connection" checkbox, but
that works fine and shows a list of all projects on Project Server. When I
click "Rename" and enter a new name (or eventhe same name) I get the error
msg above.

Also tried this connected to the server itself so that projectserver could
be accessed at "localhost" which the tool seemed to want, but no luck.

How do you print Gant Schedule?

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 09:09 AM PST

You display the view you want to print hard copy of and then print it. The
limitations you're probably seeing on page size are not a function of MS
Project - that information comes from the printer driver. If you want to
print a page that is a 24x36 or 30x42 ANSI standard Architectural size for
example, you need to have a printer or plotter connected that accomodates
that paper size. If all your printer can output is regular letter or legal
sized pages, printing the views you want will extend over multiple sheets
and you'll need to get out the tape or glue and paste them on a poster
board.

Readonly Fields??

Posted: 08 Nov 2004 06:30 AM PST

Glenn,

So..right now you cannot make any change in that field (the one you are
saying is read only) and you want that field to be editable right? In that
case..you need to change the column definition for that particular column.
double click on the title for that column and if the field name in the column
definition window is ID that's why is is read only. You need to change the
field name either to text or number whatever you demand is for that column.
Then you can enter your own data in there.

Hope it helps..

Multiple Project Calendars - Project 2003

Hi Julie

Many thanks for your response.

My 24 hr resources are servers, and we tend to treat them a little less
respectfully than our manpower.

I am beginning to come to the realization, I will have to define "work" in
hours. I have just been trying to understand what the task specific project
calendar controls (in the task details dialogue boxes).

Regards

Jens
