How to make index reflect pagination of content

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:12 PM PDT

I recently self-published a 400 page book on Createspace and learned, to my horror, that the index is 9 pages off, because Word counts all the pages.  How do I get the index to start counting page 1 where I start it, rather than all the meta-data pages?

Co-authoring in MS Word occasionally does not save the latest version to the SharePoint server

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:07 PM PDT

I am having a major issue with co-authoring the Microsoft Word documents in SharePoint 2013. It is difficult to reproduce the original issue but, here is a scenario:

  • Three different users, User A, B, and C, are working on a document in a document library at the same time. (User A has Office 2013 while others have 2010 installed in their workstations.)
  • User A saves her work, closes her session, and assumes that her changes were uploaded to the server.
  • When User A opens the document at a later time, she gets an older version of the document! Her last updates were not saved to the server.

Things to consider:

  • User A can recover her changes from the Autosaved document in her local machine.
  • If the document is saved rapidly in succession, the document is does not show "Uploading to the server" message at the bottom of the document. Rather, it shows "Saving AutoRecovery file AS2345...". Sometimes, saving the AutoRecovery file seems to get stuck trying to save the file.
  • We turned off auto-save in Word, and it seems to have mitigated the above issue.

It seems like the auto-save functionality of Word is interfering with the upload process during co-authoring. I have tried to get some documentation on the web as to what happens in the back-end during co-authoring, but I was not very successful. If someone could point me in the direction on where I can find information on co-authoring architecture and its relation to auto-save, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

I'm have an issue with a template that uses field codes (field name: Page) for the page numbers. all is fine until I make section breaks. Then, the page numbering starts over on every new section. Even when I tell it to continue numbering from previous section, it holds the numbering for a while but not long. Does anyonone know the solution to this problem? Thank you ahead for your help! I'm on a deadline here!

During typing a letter in Microsoft Word Starter(Not Responding) comes on the computer screen and the screen dims

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 12:09 PM PDT

Hi there,

While typing in Microsoft Word Starter the program becomes non responsive. The screen becomes dim and at the top of the menus say"Microsoft Word Starter (Not Responding)". The application freezes and you can't save or shut the program.

Word 2010 user form-inserting text fields conditionally

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I have created a Word 2010 form for users in different departments; the form has many content controls. I want to be able to add unique additional text fields, based on the user selecting their department in the form. I have tried using quick parts, and I tried creating a text field with autocorrect to replace text if the user keys "#dept1" or "#dept2" etc. The problem is that the quick parts and autocorrect data is stored on my PC, so when another user tries the form these features don't work! The users are not on the same LAN, so there is no common location for me to store the quick parts or autocorrect data. I've been reading through many MVP VBE examples but I am a newbie to VBE. Before I try the examples: does the VBE code "save" into the form so that it will be available to others who use the form on their own PCs? Or is there another, easier way to accomplish this?

 

Thank you!

Using Quick Parts to create complete pages

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 11:49 AM PDT

I thought that Quick Parts in Word 2010 was going to solve a number of problems developing electronic forms where pages go from portrait to landscape.

 

I wanted to set up a Quick Part that had the Header and Footer set up for both portrait and landscape for our engineering documents or basically, any form that shifted from portrait to landscape orientation and needed the header/footer positions to change with the orientation.  I wanted to set up a Gallery whereby the users could select the specific oriented page with appropriate header/footer for their document and insert it in it's own page.  While you can select all elements on the text layer to create a cover page and either an Autotext entry or Quick Part, you can only select either the header OR the footer on that layer, thereby making it impossible, except thru a macro, to add a new page to a document intact from the Gallery.

 

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be accomplished?  Is there any other way to do this other than creating a macro, tied to either a button in the QAT or Key Combo?

 

What I have tried so far.... For each of the Header/Footer orientations, I first created the header/footer I wanted to use with all elements including cross references and page fields, then created and ran a macro that:  1.  Inserted Section Break Next Page 2.  Changed Orientation 3. Opened Header/Footer 4. Selected Header  5. Inserted Quick Part formatted Header 6. Switched to Footer   7.  Inserted Quick Part formatted Footer  8. Closed Header/Footer.

 

This created a usable page but it seemed a messy way to just add a page, in a specific orientation with specific headers/footers.

 

Is there an easier way?

Hyperlinks in Word: Sometimes there, sometimes not.

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 11:27 AM PDT

I know I'm doing something wrong but have no idea where to even start.

I use Word 2003 for making webpages and it works great for my needs.  Too bad more people don't realize it can be used for this.  Just save as a webpage, FTP (Core FTP is free and there are others) it to your ISP's free webspace that almost everybody gets and voila - you have a free webpage you control completely.  HIGHLY recommended for when you're just starting.  Plus, so many people know how to use Word very well.  For photos and videos use free photo/video hosting websites to minimize bandwith.  There are quite a few.


On to my problem.  I get these OLE_LINK error links that pop up.  Is there any way of ridding the page of them?  Sometimes there is a Remove Link button on the right, sometimes not.  I thought there used to be an Add Link somewhere but now that is gone.  


Sometimes Target Frame is there, sometimes not.  


I don't even know where to start to determine why there are these inconsistencies.


What I'm trying to do, that I did before, is to enable the reader to click a link at the top of the page to take them to somewhere else within the same page.  This enables an instant transition, unlike loading another webpage.  


Please do not supply Microsoft "Help" links.  99% of the population finds them useless.  Just tell us what to do please.  This can't be that complicated.  For someone that knows Word well it should be a snap.

Microsoft Office can't open any documents, or even create a document

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:57 AM PDT

I was just able to use any and all documents that I created. Now I can't open any documents because it comes up that microsoft office has stopped responding. Also it says "the document caused a serious error the last time it was opened. You may continue opening it or perform data recovery by clicking 'Recover Data'. Clicking 'Recover Data' will extract text out of your document but all formatting and pictures will be lost."

Everytime I try to open a blank document it says Microsoft Office is not responding. The last thing that I downloaded on my Windows 7 OS is Norton Antivirus 360 and a Garmin GPS Software upgrade/update.

Word 2013 Screenshot option is grayed out and will not work

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:59 AM PDT

Hello and thanks for the help. I am using Office 2013, a brand new, install using the repair and correct options, so please don't tell me to repair office. I am also using Windows 7. When I go to the Insert Tab/Ribbon, in the Illustrations Group, the Screenshot tool is grayed out. I have checked to ensure that no protection is turned on and that all tracking options are turned off. I have closed the software, rebooted the computer, tried in old documents, brand new documents with the .docx extension and documents that have been upgraded from previous versions, nothing allows me to use the tool.

 

Any ideas what may be causing this problem? Oh...the tool works fine in all of the other Office 2013 applications.

 

Thanks again, Sheri

New documents in Word 2007 open with text already appearing in them.

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:58 AM PDT

Whenever I open a new "blank" document in Word 2007, the document has the following text already in it: 



Formula Sheet   


d=square root of (x)()



I am not sure how to prevent this from continuing to happen in future new documents. I suppose its no big deal to just delete the text or type over it but it just annoys me that I can't figure out whats causing it.  Any suggestions?

Select all Objects in Word 2007 that span across multiple pages

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:18 AM PDT

I have a 368 page user manual full of screenshots that I was asked to update and edit.  All of the pasted screenshots have yellow ovals highlighting certain areas.  The screenshots are basic jpegs and were not inserted into a drawing canvas.  The oval callouts are all basic msft shapes, and they are the only "objects" in my document.  Unfortunately, yellow disappears when printed in black and white, so we need to change the color of those ovals to something more substantial.

 

When I use the "Select Objects" feature it highlights just the ovals on a page without a problem. However, I can't get the select box to extend to other pages.  Is there ANY way to get "select objects" in 2007 to select ALL the objects, across almost 400 pages?

Word 2013 Page Background Colour

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:30 AM PDT

Hi,

I use Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium and I want to permanently change the background colour of Word documents (including ones I download or those sent to me) to light blue so it's easier to read.

Changing the theme doesn't change the colour of the page. This was do-able in older versions of Office but I can't seem to figure it out for 2013. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Creating an Index in WORD

In a Table Of Contents I can use CTRL + Click to go to the numbered page.  There is no facility for this in an Index I have created in a document. If it isn't automatic I would have thought there would have been a switch I could use when creating the Index.  Any help please.

Superscript Macro

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:33 AM PDT

Hi, stuck and looking for some help with a macro. 
I have several word documents that I need to make changes to. I'm looking to change all instance of 1st, 2nd 3rd (all ordinals) into superscript. 
Here is what I have. 

Sub super ( )
' Changes all  ordinals to superscript
'
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font
        .Superscript = True
        .Subscript = False
    End With
    With Selection.Find
      .Text = "([0-9]{1,2})([dhnrst]{2})"
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchWildcards = True
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub

But this changes all of the text in the search term (which is expected) into superscript. And this is where I'm stuck. I only want to change the second part of the string into superscript. How can I do this? I've googled this and the best I can come up with is that I need to "tag" the first part of the string. I don't know how to do that.

Combo Box Content Control

I've been trying to create a form using word where the user selects an item from a drop down list in Combo Box Content Control once they select it I want it to prefill the next line on the form with set responses based on what they selected from the list.

 

Is there anyway to do this?

 

E.g.

User selects "Team A" from drop down list next line prefills with access to "Front Door, Windows & and inner door".

Next user selects "Team C" from drop down list next line the prefills access to "Front Door only"

Unable to Insert Any Charts on Office 2013 Professional

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 10:37 PM PDT

Hello!

I've been really frustrated with a problem that I seem to be having with my Word 2013. Whenever I go to insert a chart, the window simply reappears instead of inserting a chart.

For example, to insert a line graph, I click:

Insert > Chart > Line  and then I double click the preview image of the chart. However when I do that, instead of inserting the chart, the window simply disappears for a fraction of a second and then reappears. The same thing occurs when I simply hit the "OK" button instead of double clicking the preview. The ONLY way for me to exit out of the prompt is then to hit cancel otherwise it keeps popping back up.

This lack of ability to insert any chart (line, pie, bar, etc.) is very frustrating, especially since my job involves me preparing a number of reports. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

EDIT: By the way, I tried doing a full uninstall followed by a clean install on my computer, but that hasn't yielded any results. It seems to only happen on my specific personal user account though, not when I'm using Word on my colleague's computers or around the office.

Word, Excel and Outlook stopped working

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 10:11 PM PDT

Installed All in one printer and now Word, Excel and Outlook are not working.  I can see that ABBYY Finereader Sprint 9.0 loaded with the printer and understand that can cause Office not to work.  I have been unable to disable the add-in for ABBYY finereader, as everytime I enter word in safe mode I get a pop up saying program is not working, therefore I can't Click on the File menu, then Options and then on Add-Ins and then click on the Go button alongside Manage Add-ins.  Is there a way around this, or another place I can go to disable the add-in for ABBYY Finereader?

 

I ended up uninstalling ABBYY Finereader and Word,Excel and Outlook are working again.  But I still need to reload it for my scanner to work.  Any help on how to disable the add-in when I can not get to File - Options from within Word, Excel or Outlook?

Microsoft Word has stopped working

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 08:15 PM PDT

Two days ago, it was working fine, but today, every time I run Microsoft Word, I get an error message "Microsoft Word has stopped working" and then "Microsoft Word is trying to recover your information" then finally back to "Microsoft Word has stopped working" again and a close button.

I've done everything I can think of to get it working again.

I tried a repair.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Office2010.
I tried running Windows Update (which installed a bunch of Office 2010 updates).

Nothing has helped.
Even if I try running in safe mode, I get the same error every time.

I am able to run Outlook and Excel just fine. It's only Word that has a problem.

I tried running Windows Restore and going back to a restore point a couple of days ago when it was working, but this fails saying that a file cannot be accessed and that I should shut off my anti-virus. But I tried turning off anti-virus and it still doesn't work. So I'm stuck.

The first time it crashed, I was attempting to open a file from SkyDrive from my web browser. I think that might have something to do with it and that something somehow got corrupted that first time, but I don't know how to fix it.

When I run Word, I can see the Document Recovery pane on the left side with a list of some of my recent documents, some of which are from SkyDrive. These are still there even though I uninstalled and re-installed Office. Is there some way to clear this cached data? Do you think that might help?

I'm open to any other suggestions. At this point, all I can think to do is completely format my hard drive and re-install the O/S and I really don't want to do that and have to re-install everything.

Please help, I am at my wits end.

Once Upon A Time Word 2013 Stop Responding

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 07:32 PM PDT

Once upon a time, Word 2013 worked great. Then one day, it stops responding EVER AFTER - after a few minutes (whether I'm using it or when I leave it on). I've tried EVERYTHING I read in this forum, all fail! The only solution is to uninstall and reinstall. Problem is, the solution only works for a day. The next day, it will stop responding again.

My specs:
* Windows 7 Ultimate
* Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.60GHz
* RAM 4GB
* 32 bit
* Word 2013 in Compatibility mode
* NO com add-ins
* NO Abbyy Finereader
* NO Toshiba Book Reader
* NO NVWGF2UM.DLL
* NO Acrobat PDFMaker
* NO Fun Tools


My FAILED attempts to fix it:
* Disable graphic acceleration !!!
* Run in safe mode !!!
* Run Microsoft Fix It
* Run regedit and erase some entries suggested in this forum

I'm tempted to reinstal my Windows 7. If it fails, I'd use Word 2007 instead ><
I REALLY HATE Office 2013 (Word) - so UNSTABLE !!!Even uninstalling it take a LONG time!

How can I open a document with an end tag/start tag mismatch when the automatic fixit does not work?

The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 109653

I tried the automatic fixit for this but it did not work. 

Please help.

Thank you.

Word 2010 "Find Text Only"

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 05:20 PM PDT

Hello from Steved

 

Objective: Find Text only ignore numerals, When found delete paragraph.

 

In this for example delete the paragraph "The predictions are for the use" as it contains only text

In this for example do not delete the paragraph "12:10  RACE 1 - 17 Oct 2013  WOOD  Fine  Dead  5.0  Mdn  $7000  1200  Ch : 1  (MG) (JR)" as it contains numerals which I do not want to delete the paragraph

 

This will find any paragraph [!^13]{1,}[^13] So please how do I change it to find Text Only.

 

Thankyou.

Word 2013 Table Selector Missing

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 04:15 PM PDT

When I add a table to Word 2013 the table selector (outside the top left corner) is missing so I can't select the table or move it using this selector. Only happens with one copy of Word 2013 - the second copy works just fine. 

If I make a document with a table in the version it works with then open it in the version I am having problems with - ditto... the selector is missing.

Anyone else having this problem? And have you found a solution?

mergemail

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 03:24 PM PDT

After a windows auto update, I can no longer use my MergeMail.  I usually just create a MergeMail template and it pulls up the data source which is an excel doc. I can open the excel doc going to it directly, but can't through my WORD MergeMail.  I've tried restarting the computer, taking the doc off the Drpbox cloud and into My Documents, tried creating a newMergeMail template, and went back to ones I have used in the past that now no longer pull up the data source in excel. Anyone run into this?

 

Thanks,

MartinG --

You can assign resources to multiple administrative projects if that is
appropriate. The only consequence of which I can think is that resources
can never hide administrative tasks on their timesheets in PWA, which will
make the timesheet cumbersome if you add them to too many administrative
projects. Hope this helps.

forcast the budget implications of staffing

Posted: 14 Dec 2004 08:25 AM PST

Hi George,

Using a "Resoure Usage" view, you will be able to see the allocations for an
employee by whatever timescale you choose. Once in that view, select
"Format" then "Timescale" and you can adjust the timescale to show "Months"
and "Weeks" (the version of Project you use will dictate whether you have 2
levels of timescale or 3). I find Months/Weeks useful because you can see
whether folks are allocated around 40 hours / week. Also, if you right click
on the right side (or time-phased) of the screen, you can add or delete rows
for further analysis (see below for specifc fields).

As for the second part of your question, you've switched from a forecasting
to a managing and tracking issue. Typically, we'll use project to enter
actual hours for tasks by resource. If the rates are set up properly for
each resource and all of your tasks (either high level or detailed) are
captured, you should be able to both baseline at the beginning (which will
give you a "budgeted amount") AND enter actual hours... which will give you
"actual cost." This is not something that you can do overnight if you are
trying to develop a fully robust management system.

I use this method every day for my clients, but our processes have been in
place for a while. I also compare what was submitted in terms of hours on my
schedules to what was billed to the program. Being disciplined about this...
you can achieve realistic results with very little varience plus you get the
added benefit of project management reporting and analysis with MS Project.

Back to your first question, you can add Baseline Work & Cost to the Task
Usage view as well as Actual Work, Actual Cost, and Overallocation.

I have a couple custom views that shows summary level data as well as
detailed Earnved Value data. You can do the same thig with the "Task Usage"
view to look at the same type of data at the project or task level instead of
from a resource perspective.

Also, I know lots of people either try to or actually use ODBC connections
or macros to populate Project with actuals from other systems. This is an
option, but we usually enter this stuff manually for the most control over
and subsequent analysis of our data. Since there are a lot of calculations
going on behind the scenes in Project, I try to avoid automated entry into
the system where possible (with the exception of Project Server, of course).

Hope this helps!

Proper Leveling Techniques

Posted: 14 Dec 2004 03:58 AM PST

In the case of the single resource across 10 tasks use "No links" and "No Priorities"
Level manually by ID.
The ID is the technical "order" of events but as you say there is no order so just do it by ID
because you don't care.Attach the lowest ID and highest ID in the set to milestone tasks and allow
the rest of your plan to attach to those via constraining links. Collect or enter actuals vs. each task and
move the tasks up in the ID "order" (drag and drop) in the task table on the left of the Gantt
and then relevel that resource only, again by ID. That is move the tasks up in the order that have
actual daily completeness or progress made on them This then tracks the reality of the situation.
To level that single resource only; highlight a task with that resource in split screen and highlight
the bottom screen when in resource usage view. Call leveling, Level that resource only.
Don't bother with dragging and dropping the colored bars in the graphical right hand screen
as it adds constraints, drag and drop the task rows in the table. The above may not be explicitly
exact but the concepts of level a single resource by ID; "No links" and "No Priorities";
and using the split screen is there, takes a little practice

I like Steve's answer about using a single task. But if you really need to know which illustrations
are complete "sooner" rather than later then ten tasks is a fine way to do it. At least as a model which
can be utilized in other situations as well, probably not for single hour tasks but day long ones for sure.
There is a huge advantage to the multiple tasks because it removes constraints on other activity that may
be dependent on having at least one of those illustrations available. The set of 10 as a single task
may becomes a hidden constraint in itself. There is no reason for example that another resource
that could be adding anotations to those illustrations (or color) should not be "In the know" that
some of items in the set of ten are indeed complete; and ready for additional effort. Plus
traditional management places a much higher importance on knowing how many of the illustrations
are done rather than how you have optimized the flow of work thru that resource. So to get
real value out of your efforts you need a scheduling approach that both "plans" and increases
performance by explicitly defining and tracking focused effort on single tasks with as few buffers
as possible.

Project works in minutes and conversion to days is acording to that value
You amy see Mon-Fri in your graphics, but whetn the Options say a day is 6

Project: multiple resources no increase in duration

Posted: 13 Dec 2004 01:29 PM PST

Becky

the easiest way to get round this automatic calculation proejct is doing is
to split the screen [Window-split] this will give you more information on the
task. Regardless of what Project does when changing this - you can just enter
the correct information in, but be wary of Effort Driven and the Task Type -
I alway use Fixed Duration so project does change the durations on me.

In this window it is easy to just enter in the correct information, duration
and resource. Project will allow you to enter in the duration and resource
information once, when you go back to make changes project will start
changing things. There are lots of articles on why this happen (I just read
on by MPV).

Managing Closed Projects???

Is there anything programmatically that can be done?

Seems like it would be simple enough to create a isClosed bit column and
alter the Stored Procedure to not show these by default...

[discuss] Output time 24 hr clock

Posted: 06 Sep 2010 02:23 PM PDT

Folks,

The problem was that the initial spread sheet was in *.csv format. When I
edited it to get the 24 hr option (and other things) and saved it back to
the output file in *.csv format, the time was in AM/PM format w/o the pop
up screen appearing.

If I first saved it to a *.sxc format and re-saved to *.csv, the option
was available.

It would be neat if the pop up screen was available on the *.csv -> *.csv
formating. Preferably I would rather the "Save cell contents as shown" was
the default.

First of all, I didn't read your question thoroughly enough (especialy the
subject line of this thread, and I even read ODT as ODF in general, I
suppose…) so I missed that you were using OpenOffice.org Writer,my
suggestion is for OpenOffice.org Calc. Very sorry for that. If you ever
want to do this in OpenOffice.org Calc, then right click the control,
click Control… and then click the Data tab and you'll figure it out from
there.

I never did this in writer but I'll have a look at it right now…
No, that optioon is unfortunately missing in OpenOffice.org Writer. You
have the option ”Data field”, but I don't know how to use it. Maybe you
can connect it to a data base table or something.

Of course you can always write some macros that reads from the fields and
calculate a value to put in the third field, if you have some Basic skills
(other languages are also possible, but Basic is easier).

I saw your post last week Sorry for the inconvenience! I have been
investigating on your behalf. OpenOffice.org is behind several layers of
spam blocking, but (as it sounds like you're aware) spam-blocking is a
constant war of escalation, and some leakers get through. If you'll forward
the raw message headers to OO.o representatives, along with a report, we can
try to get them added to the rule set.

As to how the spammer came up with that address in the first place: your
login to OO.o is a usable email address (org); that's how
the mail lists and bug system work. The (somewhat out of date) software
version running on OO.o does expose these email addresses in some publicly
accessible, web-crawlable places, including the mail lists that undergird
the issue system, so it's not hard to imagine ways for these addresses to
leak out to spam hauses. We (CollabNet) have made significant improvements
in this area recently, but these upgrades have not yet been accepted for
update onto this particular site.

Posted: 25 Aug 2008 10:09 AM PDT

You have no need of the Professional edition of 2004 unless you're using PPC
Macs & intend to run Virtual PC 7 - that's the only difference between
Professional & Standard.

You'd need to contact MS for volume licensing information if it's even still

Hi,

We won't know until the future happens. But you can influence the future

This particular forum is maintained by Microsoft, but Microsoft

Dear Sir.

Thanks for responses.

soon as the attachment is saved on the Mac, the copy you have there has
no trace of the digital signature. "

Yes ! And Entourge Mac support digital signing and encrypting.

The problem is Word and Excel for Mac.

My question is about digital certificates in Office 2008 for Mac in Word and
Excel

Is possible sign a Office Word or Excel Mac document whit a digital
certificate ?

MacBU have digital signatures in roadmap for Mac Word and Excel ?

Downloading Clipart from Clip Gallery Live

See my reply to your other post. You don't have to do anything to "download
as .cil" - it's automatically *sent* that way. The problem is that some
Browsers *strip* the .cil extension or replace it with something else during
the download. There's nothing you can do to prevent it... Other than using a
different Browser & complaining to the developer of whatever Browser
presents the problem :-)

I would test downloading in a new User to eliminate any corruption in your

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Test downloading
without making any changes. If it fails, try the OpenDNS settings.

This has been an extremely frustrating problem for some users. Makes you

Problems with updates

Posted: 22 Aug 2008 09:58 AM PDT

Loaded Office to a clean install of Mac O.S. on a MacBook Air.

[Zeroed hard drive partition,
Booted from the Mac OS Install disk, etc.]

Installed Office,
Office checked for updates,
Ran the updater,
which locked up
and required Force Quit.
Restarted the computer,
Ran Disk Utility,
Correct Permissions,
Restarted,
Ran updater from Word,
Installed properly,
Seams to work fine.

Questions,
Has anyone else seen this?
What is the most likely cause?

What probably went wrong?

While I will be restoring the pre - office disk image,
It would still be helpful to know issue.
Many Thanks,

Using the same cell

Posted: 20 Aug 2008 12:31 PM PDT

I think you may be confusing what a cell *displays* with what it actually
*contains*. There's also the distinction to be made between a *value* & the
result of a formula. If a cell contains a value, that's what it displays,
but if the cell contains a formula it displays the result of the formula.

What the cell actually contains (or stores) along with how you paste
determines what winds up in the cell you paste to.

If a cell contains a value the regular copy/paste action results in that
same value being pasted to & displayed in the target cell.

OTOH, If the cut/copied cell contains a formula the formula is what gets
pasted by default. That introduces the matter of Relative as opposed to
Absolute cell references in the formula as well as the distinction between
copying as opposed to cutting. Additionally, there is the availability of
the Edit> Paste Special options.

All of this information is available in Excel Help & the online tutorials.
It may be worth your while to review that information before you go any
further. Quite honestly - no insult intended - but I really can't tell from
your description what you're starting with or what you're trying to do with
it, so it's difficult to offer any suggestions. Perhaps if you have a more
comprehensive understanding of the program you'll be able to better
determine how to most effectively do what you need to do.

If you still have any questions please try to describe your data & state
your objective more clearly using specific examples. I'm certain someone
will be glad to lend a hand :-)

Update of Office 2008 12.1.1 to 12.1.2

Posted: 18 Aug 2008 11:11 AM PDT

Have you by any chance moved/removed any of the Office 2008 folder's
content? If you have - either manually or by using a utility that gets rid
of "unnecessary files" - I'm afraid reinstalling is your only option. If you
haven't reinstalling should not be necessary...

Here are 2 suggestions form another poster whose situation was similar
to yours:

====================================

Another member of the Mac user group I
am with has provided me with the answer to my problems regarding the above
error message.

You need to repair permissions with Disk Utility, then make sure that the MS
Office folder's permissions are set as follows: User: Read & Write; admin:
Read & Write and Everyone: Read Only. Permissions should be the same for all
contents of that folder.

Another option is to move all MS preference files to the desktop
temporarily, then run the installer. Restore the preferences to their
original location after installation.

====================================

Another approach if neither of those work:

-- Download the update from MS --Right click on the update file and click
"Show Package Contents" --Navigate to Contents -> Resources --You need to
modify the script: package_updatable. Remove these lines using Text Edit:

if not found_valid_version: sys.exit(48)

--Save then close. Now it will update.
