Office 2010 Home Student edition issue. Cannot make entries on page without headers disappearing.

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:26 PM PDT

Somehow my Office 2010 Home & Student got corrupted. When I open it..the headers don't appear active. I click on HOME and the tabs become active. However...once I try to type on blank page...with the very  first letter key that I hit...the tabs disappear again.

 

Any suggestions or a quick fix?

 

Thanks.

Word Mail Merge Shows the MERGEFIELD tag

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Hi 
  I am using Word 2010 .. trying to create a mailmerge. In the address block, I added an IF condition to suppress a NULL field. When I run the mail merge the NULL field is suppressed but I get this tag MERGEFIELD in the area. Fr eg, 
the merged field (after suppressing the null line looks like this):

John Doe
MERGEFIELD 123 SpringLane
Springfield, CA 93454

Can anyone please tell me how to make the MERGEFIELD caption go away?

Thanks

Microsoft Word 2010 Protected Form

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:28 PM PDT

I have a form that contains a table with 9 columns.  All the fields have Calculate on Exit checked.  The field in the 7th column is a calculation based on what is entered in the 9th column and what is calculated in the 8th column.  The 8th column is a calculation but was not set up as a field.  The amount is calculated based on a number of If statements depending on what was selected in the 1st column which uses a user form because of the 25 limit in a dropdown field.  However I cannot get the calculation to update in the 7th column once the 9th column amount is filled until I tab twice after the 9th column to the next row in the 2nd column.  Why does it not update after I tab upon completion of entering an amount in the 9th column?  I read everywhere that if a form is protected and the fields have Calculate on Exit checked that the fields will automatically update.

I am using Windows 7 trying to use Office 2000. Word and Excel have same error message (see screenshot) when starting up. And they keep crashing every few minutes. I tried to find a compatibility patch and thought I have found but download was unsuccessful.

How can I leave parts of a word document editable (Ex signature line & check boxes) but not the rest?

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:03 PM PDT

I have created a word document that I need to have only certain parts editable. How do I do that? I have checkboxes throughout the document, but don't want the text to be changed. Also, at the bottom I have information that needs to be editable (adding names & Signature using macros). Any ideas would be great.  Thank you for your time!

setting language back to English US

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT

So I'm working on a school project and my keyboard is set to English United States. Then once I got to this certain point in the assignment, every other word I typed came up incorrect. I clicked on spell check to see what was wrong, and my language had switched to French Canadian? I went through every possible settings i could to do with the Language and set my default back to English and when i tried to type a quotation mark it came up as the two arrows pointing left? Now whenever i type something, it comes up wrong, I have to go to spell check, go down to the bottom and switch it to English US, for EVERY WORD! and the language is staying on French Canadian, yet in settings its on English???

How can I contact someone about my version of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010?

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 10:17 AM PDT

I purchased Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 for Windows 8, 64 bit Version.  I was given a Product key and the 32 bit Version was installed on my computer.  All subsequent updates that have been installed on my computer are for the 32-bit version.  I have problems exiting the program.  It hangs up and I have to shut down and re-boot or restart my computer to continue my work.  It is annoying to me and I would like to get this problem corrected.  I need a telephone number to call someone to discuss this problem with and fix it.  Thanks. 

Scale to paper size - Property of the document

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:39 AM PDT

I have a document that goes almost to the edge of the paper.  When I try to print it says "The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page"

 

I have learned that I can bypass this message if on the print dialog box I select Scale to Paper size: Letter.

 

My question is, can I make this Scale to Paper size: Letter a property of the document, so that I do not have to choose it every time.  I would rather our users not have to do this every time they  print this document.

 

Thanks,

Run a macro at the end of a merge

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 09:14 AM PDT

I have  a group of form letters that need different "cleanup" macros to run after each form finishes merging. Each form needs a different cleanup macro. I have been "prompting" the user to run each macro with a {FILLIN "RUN THE SO-AND-SO MACRO WHEN THE MERGE FINISHES" } prompt.  This is clumsy to say the least.


How can I either:


1. Automatically call the appropriate macro at the end of each merge, by somehow assigning the macroname through maybe using some kind of a SET Word field {SET "macroname" "so-and-so"}, then some unknown-to-me command to automatically execute the macro at the end of the merge, or...


2. at least assign the macro name during the merge with some kind of a {SET "SubMacroname" "so-and-so"}. Then have ONE macro that the user can execute (the "CLEANUP" macro). The CLEANUP macro itself would understand the SubMacroname, and execute THAT macro.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Auto fill form

group images in word

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:57 AM PDT

I'm trying to group TIFF images in Word, but seem to be unable to. I've looked it up a bunch and read that they can't be "in line with text" so I made sure they aren't, but Word still won't let me group them. It allows me to select multiple images, but the "Group" button is greyed out. Help please. 

Can't view macros from file when active in another file.

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:51 AM PDT

Man oh man I feel real stupid asking this question.

I work at many different workstations depending on my daily job functions and all setting are local to that PC, but I often use the same macros at these different places. I store these macros in a file and I use these macros on other files.

My problem is that sometimes I cannot launch these macros from the macro file because I cannot view them when I am in the file I am working on; I can't run the macro if I can't view them.

What setting am I looking for. This is a brain fart question. Please help me get back on track.

word 2013 FileSaveAs macro

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 07:37 AM PDT

I am setting up my Word 2013 so that I can get document fullpath to display in the titlebar.  I am currently utilizing three normal.dot macros to do this:

Sub AutoOpen()
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSaveAs()
    Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

Sub FileSave()
    ActiveDocument.Save
    ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
End Sub

A quick test to verify everything would be as follows:
1.  Open NEW document
2.  Click the save button located in quick toolbar.
3.  Since document has never been saved, FileSaveAs macro fires off as expected.  It works!
4.  Select Save As from the File tab to update the filename, just alter the filename as you choose.  Full document path is not displayed in the titlebar as expected.  FileSaveAs macro is not being triggered here.
5.  Now click the save button in quick toolbar to see full document path displayed in toolbar.

Please advise.

William

Disable warning about loosing formatting when saving plain-text files from Word 2013

Format change is applied to everything

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 03:19 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Office 2010 Professional. I having this weird problem with Word. Whenever I try to create a document with a lot of text content and I have to change the font style or anything to a particular portion of the content, that change is getting applied across the whole document.

For example, I enter a heading of a document at the top and center align it. I didn't use any Heading Style option. I then increase the font size and make it bold. After that I enter a paragraph of content under the heading. I try to increase the font size of the paragraph by using the short-cut key "CTRL + SHIFT + >". The size increase is getting applied to every other content in the document universally. This is happening only when I use short-cut keys available in Fonts Dialog box.

I heavily use these short-cut keys. Please tell me how I can solve this problem.

Adding protection to a template but not to documents created from template

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 02:05 AM PDT

Hi,

I am using Word 2010 and I am trying to add password protection to a template so that someone will not accidentally edit the template. I have done this by adding a password to modify however, when I create a file from the template and save as a read only version every time I open this it prompts me to enter the password. I have also tried to protect the document using the restrict editing function. Is there any way to protect the template from change but allow the user to change the document created from the template?

Thanks

Word & Publisher won't print to rear feed

Posted: 18 Oct 2013 01:56 AM PDT

I have a new Epson WF-3540 printer.  I can't get Word 2010 or Publisher 2010 to print to the rear paper feed.  It just spits out the sheet I place in the rear feed and prints from the default cassette.

It prints fine from OneNote and Excel.  I have contacted Epson about the problem, and they say that since the rear feed does work properly with some programs, the problem is with the software, not with the printer.

I have double-checked the print settings when I try to print from Word or Publisher, and I know I am using the correct settings.

My Office software is up-to-date according to Microsoft Update.

I have seen one other complaint about this problem, in a review on Amazon.  That person was not able to figure it out, either.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I've exhausted all my resources and am hoping someone here can help me.  Thanks in advance.

Styles for TOC and the Navigation Pane

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:19 PM PDT

My endnotes take up over 130 pages. They are numbered separately for my 15 major book sections. I wanted to intersperse the section names before the endnotes for each section. Example: for the Part D endnotes I want a title such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes." (no quotes) This would make the 15 endnote sections visible in the navigation pane so I could jump right to any one. I assigned the proper style to each one, say Heading3, to also make them appear in the TOC. But after assigning the styles I do not see the headings such as "P4d. Part D Endnotes" in the TOC or in the Navigation pane. Is there a way to do this so that it works?

Word 2003 files changed to Word 2007 without my permission

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 07:42 PM PDT

I went to open up files (resume and cover letter) using Word 2003. When I opened up My Documents, i noticed that the file icons were different. Upon opening them, the Word 2007 configuration program launched. I don't have a purchase key, nor do I want one. I'm actually comfortable with Word 2003 (and personally like it better than the new versions). I did not download 2007. How did this happen and can I revert those files back to 2003? I also noticed that some other files are still in 2003, just 4 files in the My Documents converted themselves to 2007.

"error applying transforms" every time I try to open any office file from explorer in Windows 8.1

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT

If I'm using windows explorer, and try to open any Office file (doc, docx, xls, ppt, etc.) I keep getting a box pop up that says "windows installer". about a half second later, that box closes and an error dialog box opens op that always says.  

"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid"

I thought of maybe uninstalling Office and reinstalling it, but I can't! It always says at the end of the uninstallation that "the configuration could not be completed". 

This only happened AFTER I updated to 8.1! I have a genuine windows 8.1 machine, running an i7 with 8 gb of RAM. I am running Office 2013.

Please help!

OWA attachments crashing Information Store

Posted: 29 Jun 2005 10:50 AM PDT

UPDATE: just got off the phone w/ microsoft, we had a rootkit on our server,
most likely due to the veritas backupexec vuln listed below. the rootkit was
based off of the hackdev kit.

here are the results from the Malicious Software Removal tool

------------------------------
i was in the middle of writing this post when we got an answer from
microsoft support, i'm leaving it, hopefully it will help somebody!

-------------------------------
We are also having this same problem. We have disabled all attachment
handling on our OWA, and it seemed to delay the problem for a few hours at
least. Now, one day later, the information store has started rebooting very
often. We see these errors in the system log:

Error: 7031 - The Microsoft Exchange Information Store service terminated
unexpectedly. ... and the server then reboots the services

and this in the application log:

Error: 9673 - An exception with code 0xc00000fd was thrown in module
C:\windows\sytem32\ntdll.dll; ...

We also have a call in to microsoft. They instructed us to re-apply SP1 for
win2k3, which we did, and this seemed to have no effect on the problem.

I have several thoughts on the cause of this error:

--Veritas Backup Exec - a patch just came out for BE9 & BE10, we have the 10
agent installed on the server. I've been unable to install the patches until
today, but after another computer was compromised, we blocked port 10000 at
the border.

utility or script to pull out mailbox/store info from E2K3.

Posted: 29 Jun 2005 07:50 AM PDT

Sorry, that answer was for another question.

Some of what you are looking for can be exported using Exchange System
Manager.
You can navigate to the server-->storage group-->mailbox store and then
Mailboxes.
Here you can right-click and Export List. You'd have to do this for each
store, but it gives you
number of items and mailbox size and last logon/off.

Otherwise, what you are looking for is all accessible with WMI. If you are
not cumfy with WMI, have a look at the Scriptomatic tool:

When I did the backup & restore i selected to included the log files
should that not restore exchange to as it was when the backup was taken ?

How do I make sure the log files have gone ?

I thought that following a backup logfiles were deleted automatically?
Should I manualy delete them using explorer from the mdbdata folder prior
to the restore?

Thank you for your help

As long as you have the proper port forwarding set up the Linksys box will
work. If this is for a home solution this is probably OK. If you're

suggest a PIX.

It does mean the IDE code has been poked around. Since 2.6 is coming into

Alternatively, what about upgrading 4 revisions at a time, instead of 11?
And try a 2.4.23 kernel, which I believe was pretty good?

can not access cd-rom

OK, figured out, but still have question.

I add ide=nodma to the grub init script, now the CD-ROM works great!

My question: from the name of this configuration, it seems I turns off
DMA on IDE bus, then isn't that data access to both CD-ROM and harddisc
will be slowed down? Is there any way I can only turn off DMA to
CD-ROM, but not other devices?

My guess is my Samsung CD drive is of old type, it is not working very
well with the 2.4.22 kernel. But this kernle is the one I need to use.

Google returns a page saying same problem as mine, that person says

And once again Peter spends his day yanking the chains of newbies and
leaving out the important bits, just to pretend that his opinion is somehow
useful.

/dev/cdrom is often, not always, set up as a symbolic link to the "real" CD
device. Different software has different conventions about this, and various
things can change what your CD device actually shows up as. For example,
older versions of the "cdrecord" software cannot handle CD devices with
write capability as IDE devices, so older versions of cdrecord and the 2.4
kernel require you to load the ide-scsi module to do any CD writing. This
can confuse the heck out of various auto-probing software, and when you
later load the modules or decide not to load them, you wind up with a link
from /dev/scd0 to /dev/cdrom, or from /dev/hdd to /dev/cdrom, and it may not
do what you expect.

In general, don't use /dev/cdrom because of exactly this sort of confusion.
The idea of using symlinks to give devices easily understand names is
common, but fragile, Instead use the IDE device directly (which you can
check for by looking in /proc/ide and checking which /proc/ide/*/media file
has "cdrom" in it), or use the SCSI device directly (usually /dev/scd0 if
your CD drive is showing up as SCSI).

Most Linux installations try to do this for you, but they're not consistent
or reliable about it. RedHat, for example, tries to auto-detect the CD drive
and set the symlink /dev/cdrom to something usable. SuSE tries to
auto-detect such devices and access them as mountable locations /media/cdrom
but shows the same device as /media/cdrecorder, for example.

Fedora Core 2 wont detect modem.

Posted: 12 Feb 2005 07:05 PM PST

Nico Kadel-Garcia wrote:
 

It is a winmodem more than likely.
If the following doesnt work buy a "real" hardware based external modem.

http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/resources/howtos/dell_2650_modem/

Most Dell Inspiron 2650 laptops come with the Actiontec 560RD based winmodem
which requires the drivers available below. This is one of those cases
where you do actually need a seperate download. Installation is fairly
straightforward as the driver's installation script is pretty smart at
configuring your modem.

Requirements

* A Dell Inspiron 2650 with the Actiontec modem (or any other system
with a supported HSF modem)
* Linux drivers for Conexant (formerly Rockwell) Softmodem HSF modem
family.
* At least a 2.4 (stable) kernel (source installed and previously
compiled.

Installation
Start with the download (see resources below). The following instructions
are from the INSTALL file included with the tar.gz package. Since not
everyone is using a Red Hat based system, I'll use instructions for the
source package.

1. Extract the package with "tar -xzf hsflinmodem-{version}.tar.gz"
2. Change to the package directory with "cd hsflinmodem-{version}"
3. Run "make install" from the top of the package directory.
4. Run "hsfconfig" to complete the installation and configure your modem.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions - usually selecting the default for
this modem works fine (if you are in the USA).

Installation Notes
Debian users might need to change the KERNELSRC definition in
modules/common.mak before running the make install command. An example is
included on how to change that KERNELSRC line on the top of the
modules/common.make file included in the source tree of the drivers.

Red Hat and similar users can generate RPMS from the tar package using "rpm
-ta hsflinmodem-{version}.tar.gz".

Post-installation
At this point the modem is installed and configured and you can access it
through /dev/ttySHSF0 or /dev/cuaHSF0 (call-out device). Additionally, you
can use it via the symbolic link /dev/modem (equivalent to ttySHSF0) which
is usually automatically created during the installation process.

User access
To allow non-root users to access this device you can create a new group
with for example "groupadd modem" and change the permissions on
the /dev/ttySHSF0 device to modem with "chown root.modem /dev/ttySHSF0".
Simply add the users to the /etc/group file under the modem group so it
looks like this: modem:x:1004:user1,user2,user3,freddy. Note that the group
id (1004) will vary from system to system.

Double check the permissions on the device nodes with "ls -l /dev/ttySHSF0"
to ensure that they are adequate for your system. Alternatively, you can
set the same permissions used above to the /dev/modem symbolic link for
easier access to the modem.

Using the modem
You can now use any dialup tool you wish, such as wvdial, the Red Hat dialup
tool, KPPP etc. These are standard tools on most distributions. When asked
to specifiy the port or modem device to use simple specify /dev/modem
or /dev/ttySHSF0 which ever is convenient.

Making changes later
The "hsfconfig" command can be used to change certain modem configuration
options or recompile (generic packages only) the kernel modules after
installation. Run "hsfconfig --help" for usage information.

Questions?
Use our support resources (forums, live chat, e-mail forms etc).

Resources

* http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv
* The README and INSTALL files included in the Conexant HSF package
* Current Conexant HSF package driver download
* Supported modem/controller list: HSFi, HSF, Intel MC97 Controller
(ICH), VIA MC97 Controller, ALI MC97 Controller, Basic2 / SmartDAA, Athens

This is basically true. Although Slackware can use rpm to some degree.

I suppose this is true. RH does seem to have more gui config tools.

 

I think you got this backwards.
To quote from Slackware documentation : "Slackware uses the BSD-style
layout for its initialization files. Each task or runlevel is given its
own rc file. This provides an organized structure that is easy to
maintain.
There are several categories of initialization files. These are system
startup, runlevels, network initilization, and System V compatibility. As
per tradition, we'll lump everything else into an "other" category."

Pop-ups, ads, and cookies are application level annoyances, and need to

How to write on a NTFS partition

"Michael Heiming" <michael+heiming.de> wrote in message
news:heiming.de... 

OK, good point. Or you'd need to add an external drive. Do you have the
space to install wienie partitions?
 

This can actually work, as long as you haven't over-partitioned and stripped
down the available space for /home due to allocating space for /usr/src,
/usr/local/, /var/tmp, /var/tmp, /var/spool, /etc., etc., etc.. In the last
5 years, I've done this *once*, with someone who really liked having really
old (for speed) distros along with really new (for performance) distros.
There are some potential issues.

#1. Not all distros create compatible file systems, even the same type of
file system. The 7.x RedHat release, for example, used a mkfs that made the
ext2 partitions unreadable to 6.x. I ran headlong into that one: you had to
use the mkfs binary from RedHat 6.x

#2: You probably want to keep the entirety of both file systems available to
the other OS installations. Let's say that "/" from one OS becomes "/diska/"
when mounted on the other, and "/" from the other becomes "/diskb" when
mounted on the first. If you leave the /home still as part of the first OS
and mounted there, it can be accessed by a symlink to /home -> /diska/home.
Workable, but graceless.

#3: HOWEVER! Different OS's often have rather different ideas about user
configuration files, and therein lies the rub of maintaining the identical
user account across multiple OS's. The associated .X configuration files,
..gnome, .mozilla, etc. can and do interfere with each other. I've seen
systems destabilize wildly because the .cshrc written for one system caused
utter chaos when implemented on the other. (Admittedly, it was a terrible
..cshrc, but still, it wasted quite a lot of my time getting the person to
let me fix it for them.) So that's actually a reason *against* sharing
/home's between OS's, even on the same laptop.

In such a situation, I can certainly see using a shared partition. But I
wouldn't make it /home.


Linux's HPFS Support

Alex Taylor wrote: 

I agree it's not hard and it is a fairly simple concept, but that wasn't
really what I was getting at. I've been compiling Linux kernels for the
past seven years or so. As a systems manager for many years before that
I also had to regularly squeeze every bit of performance I could from HP
minicomputers and so on, quarter ton things with architectures that made
anything smaller seem like toys to me - OS/2 and Linux made me change my
view there! So as an ex tech-head, I still have a tweaking urge for any
PC operating system operating that's worth it.

In recent years though, I've been on the other side of the fence, with a
business as well as technology focus. I've got a keen interest in doing
my little bit, as many others around the world are also, to make Linux a
serious desktop alternative for government use in particular. I'd argue
that a "serious Linux user" in this wider context is not about compiling
kernels, it's about business users, open standards, interoperability and
being able to get the job done better with a lower TCO and good support.

So on my home setup, I prefer to get things up and running smoothly so I
can start being productive, the tweaking should come later. That for me
means having at least one partition that any modern Linux flavour should
be able to see out of the box, so that I have instant access to drivers
and configuration notes I may need straight away. FAT32 seems to be the
pragmatic choice for that these days. Another consideration is that the
modern Linux distributions are becoming more sophisticated in the way of
scripting and configuration. Poking around in Xandros reveals some
very fancy stuff that needs some study first. I did a quick kernel
recompile the other night with no errors but quite a few module warnings
which I'd prefer to look closely at later rather than installation time.
Now that I have everything operational, I'll probably revisit Xandros
& HPFS when I get some spare time.
