Microsoft Word - word to pdf conversion problem


word to pdf conversion problem

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 02:21 PM PDT

Hi,

When I PDF a page with footnotes, the last line or picture at the end of the page moves to the next page in the PDF file. Also, the space between the footnotes increases and footnotes numbering converts to continues numbering in the current section at PDF file.

Problem with Word Form-filling

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 01:02 PM PDT

I have created a form that users can complete and print. It works okay but seems to have some sort of glitch.

 

Most of the fields are 'plain text content control', some are legacy text form fields and there are a few check boxes. When the form is first opened, it is not possible to input text to the 'plain text content control' fields - only the legacy text form fields. Once something has been typed into one of the legacy fields, it becomes possible to type into the plain text content controls.

 

However, if you select one of the check boxes then it reverts and it will again be impossible to type into the plain text content controls until something is typed into one of the legacy fields.

 

It's wierd and very frustrating (having taken a long time to create the form). It's only a problem when the form is protected and restricted to only filling in the form. I can leave it unprotected but, owing to the nature of the document (and multiple potential users), it would be much more useful if the form worked with the protection in place.

 

Any ideas?

restore left-justifed command

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 12:42 PM PDT

While demonstrating macros to someone in MSW 2003, I inadvertently altered the fundamental Ctrl-L keyboard command for left justification. Making a new macro to restore it the usual way with the Format > Paragraph window won't do because that carries with it a bunch of instructions for Indentation and Spacing that might not apply to text that I want to simply left-justify. Please help me restore this basic keyboard command.

Thank you.

Bulletted list indented for the first 10 pages and all of the sudden stops indenting

This makes no sense its like word just decides to change its own formatting as it goes... when I make a sub-level it just goes underneath the parent bullet not indented at all either.

Word goes automatically to "all markup" after rejecting a comment, saving slow

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 07:06 AM PDT

Hi all,

When I erase/reject a comment in TC, the document reverts automatically to All Markup though I work exclusively in Simple Markup. Not a big deal except that it takes a few moments for it to load with large documents, and sometimes the page comes up with a different paragraph in the window. It's annoying to wait and then click back to Simple Markup. Are there any preferences I can change to prevent this from happening? Also, with those same large documents (about 200-300 pages), saving can start to take way too long. The auto-save interrupts my work and makes it impossible to continue while it saves, which can take 5 or more seconds.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Microsoft Word 2013 crashes upon doing anything

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 12:31 AM PDT

This video outlines the issue and shows what happened

http://youtu.be/hg0nKovhyDM

This is a screen capture of me trying to use my newly purchased Microsoft Office Word 2013. The video shows that when trying to create a blank document, open another document, change my settings, or just about anything else; it crashes. The video also shows that other elements of office such as one-note or PowerPoint function as needed and that it is only Word that has this issue.
I am running 64 bit Windows 7 SP1 on my ASUS K52F.

My specs are:
  • Intel Core i5 @ 2.67 MHz
  • 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz
  • Generic PnP Monitor (1366x768@60Hz)
  • Intel HD Graphics
  • 466GB Seagate ST9500325AS ATA Device (SATA)
If anyone has any help for this issue it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Office Word 2013 glitches

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 08:49 PM PDT

Using Word, some features I have problems using because the application glitches out. For example I cannot drag a tab across the top without it glitching and undoing my tab position. Or trying to switch between Home - Insert - anything else, the application seems to "stop working." then it switches over. My Word application just seems glitchy, doesn't seem... seamless. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Microsoft Office Professional Word 2003 got corrupted

Microsoft Office Professional Word 2003 worked fine for years and once it got corrupted and I uninstalled it and reloaded the discs.

Very tired of drilling down versus simple double click on doc. Any ideas? TX.

Whole Document Microsoft Translator doesn't work

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 07:00 PM PDT

  I am trying to use the whole document translator feature of Word 2010.  I click on the "Translate" button in the review pane, and select the "translate document" option.  The dialog pops up, I click "send"...then nothing ever happens.  I tried manually typing the URL given for the Microsoft Translator service, and the webpage doesn't seem to exist. http://www.microsofttranslator.com/officetrans/httpquery.aspx

The issue is not document size, this happens with any size.  I repaired the program and rebooted the computer -- still nothing.  This is a brand new installation of Office 2010.

Any help?

Word copies defaulting to multiple copies...how can I change?

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 06:55 PM PDT

A couple of weeks ago I printed 8 copies of a document. Word has now defaulted to print 8 copies. I can change to a different number of copies and the new number of copies will print, but it defaults back to 8 again. This only happens in Word not Excel or anything else I might print. Does anyone know how to default copies back to 1 copy. Thanks for the any help available.

Navigation Pane Incorrect Display (Word 2013)

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 05:14 PM PDT

Actually, "incorrect" isn't necessarily the right word. For some reason, the results are displayed in a truncated fashion. There seems to be no reason for this. I haven't changed any settings, and I can't find any way to adjust this. Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it!

 

how do I stop files from converting to read only

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 04:12 PM PDT

I can no longer go into properties, click off the read only box, click apply and have office reset all the documents in the folder or even a single document back to the original read-write properties.  Searching on the net for directions to this solution and applying them: doesn't work anymore either.

word 2013 PROBLEM - got essay to finish

Posted: 11 Oct 2013 03:42 PM PDT

Hihi,
I have an essay I gotta finish before the end of this weekend so all valuable answers would be appreciated.

So the problem:
I was working with word 2013 and everything was going smoothly. Than all of a sudden I click something by accident when I was putting a picture into the essay and now I can not edit my text. Every time I try to click into the text the editing field moves to the top of the first page. 
I am also not able to use any of the tabs - like bold, underline, insert functions and just all of it!

Hope somebody can help me.. Thanks!

Yes, it did a little. Now the crunches seem shorter and less displeasing
to the ear. However, the activity still persists.

I wrote a little script in Perl that utilizes the output from iostat and
alerts whenever a read or write operation is performed by playing a
sound and printing the number of seconds passed from last activity. Here
are the results I obtained (noatime turned on):

console:

WRITE 21
WRITE 1
WRITE 7

Hi Matt,

If your work community would be satisfied with Gantt Bars in the RAG status
see:

www.mvps.org/project FAQ #31 for some ideas about customizing Gantt bars
based upon the flag fields.

If you would like to see Graphic indicators for RAG status as part of a
table see Mike Glen's article at:

http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=403

His example uses graphic indicators for cost but you can modify the custom
field to show variance for the Start or Finish fields.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Can levelling eventually drive one insane? The real question is...

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 02:33 PM PST

Seconding Jack's comments. The only thing leveling does is shift work to
resolve overallocations. It never, ever, tries to use resources to their
fullest extent; the only thing is does is resolve situations where you have
overbooked the resource to do more than they are capable of. If I have Joe
booked for 8 hours on Task A Monday and also for 8 hours on Task B, he's
expected to do 16 hours of work in an 8 hour day and that's impossible.
Leveling will move one of those tasks to Tuesday, assuming the resource is
free. Why doesn't it increase or decrease allocations? Because it doesn't
know why you've booked him at less than the max and doesn't know anything
about the priorities of the business or the project. Maybe there's a very
good reason, like work to be done outside the micro-unicverse of the
project, that means on THAT day he's only available a couple of hours for
project related work. You, the PM, know that when you assign him only 25%
on task X Tuesday even though his overall maximum availability is usually
100%. But Project can't know anything about what else might be going on
with the resource and so it respects your management decision.

MS Project is a glorified calculator, not a manager <grin>.

Managed Period

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 12:29 PM PST

Andrea --

The "synching up" messages you receive are normal in an environment using
managed time periods. What this means is that the information in the
project plan must be synchronized with the information in PWA. This also
means that you cannot enter Actual Work manually in the Microsoft Project
plan, and that all Actual Work must be submitted by team members using their
PWA timesheet. This is one of the limitations of using managed time
periods, one that frustrates many good people (such as yourself).

Beyond this, I would recommend that you get a book specifically on Project
Server 2003. Click the URL in my signature block for information about
ordering our company's book on the software. Hope this helps.

Josh,
Jack answered the first question so I'll answer the second. There are
several built-in Reports that show resources and their assignments - Who
does what, Who does what when, To do list and Resource usage. Have you
tried tailoring any of these to get what you want? Another simple option
is to show the Resource Usage view itself and set the timescale to show
days.

If you have looked at all of the above and they just quite give what you
need, perhaps you could be a little more specific. Then we can help
tailor something to fit your need.

Hope this helps.

In Project 2000, how can I change the duration into seconds?

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 08:01 AM PST

You can set it to 24 hours which would translate into 24 minutes.
With a calculated field I think you could possibly do this...

Interesting problem.

2 questions about task type

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 06:49 AM PST

I tend to think of the task type setting and the effort driven setting as
switches the PM uses to supply the intellegence about what should happen
when a task is edited that Project itself lacks. If I have one guy assigned
to paint a room and add a second guy, the duration should get shorter since
the work is divided between them - effort driven. If I have a meeting and
am adding attendees, the meeting length won't change depending on the number
of people, it certainly won't get shorter at any rate!, so it's non-effort
driven.

Task type - I'm changing Joe from 100% to 50% on a 5 day task he's been
assigned to. Why? Is it because I need him elsewhere 4 hours a day and can
live with the first task taking longer? Fixed work. Or is it because it's
really only 20 man-hours instead of 40 but I don't need it done earlier than
originally planned - fixed duration. In each case, only you know what the
outcome SHOULD be, Project doesn't and can't know. The task type and effort
driven setting let you make sure it does the calculations the way they're
supposed to be.
