I set up a template for a fax, a letter and an envelope for each user. It
makes sure we are represented in a standard fashion to our clients, and
avoids photocopying stuff over other stuff (the old method). It is most
useful.

Or you can download an old version from the Vetus site (but it may crash

Empty Until Data Is Entered

Posted: 06 Aug 2006 11:00 AM PDT

Hi John,

One way of doing this is to display either a zero 0, a space " " or
a null "" value in the formula cell, based upon not finding the contents
of any of the four cells to be zero.

e.g. to sum the four cells when none is empty, or zero otherwise show
zero ( or other in place of 0, such as "" or " ").

=IF(AND(A2,B2,C2,D2),SUM(A2:D2),0)

Another way to achieve a similar result is to check each prior cell for
a particular value. This case checks for zero values, as required:

=IF(OR(A2=0,B2=0,C2=0,D2=0),0,SUM(A2:D2))

Fill

Posted: 05 Aug 2006 11:52 AM PDT

Hi John,

Works 8 does retain this function.

For example:

Enter a date value into cell B2.

Locate, drag the Fill handle and select the requisite number of rows.

While rows are highlighted Select Edit > Fill Series > Weekday.

In Works help:

Table of Contents.

Works 6/7 Printing

Posted: 30 Jul 2006 04:38 PM PDT

Hi JoAnn,

Corrupt ink cartridge on a Lexmark printer can cause similar problem poster
experienced.

The following from Lexmark solved my problem.

Ken
--------------------

Thanks for using our electronic support to assist you with this issue.


The problem you are experiencing is caused by the way the text is formatted
in most word processing documents. By default envelopes are printed not in
black, but a dark gray. This confuses the printer and causes it to use the
color cartridge to process gray instead of using the black cartridge. You
can fix this problem with one of 2 ways.


Please select the "Black" only option following the steps given below:


1. Click on "Start," "Control Panel" and click on "Printers and Faxes."


2. Right click on the "Lexmark printer icon" and select "Properties."


3. Select "Printing Preferences," click on the "Quality/Copies" tab and
choose "Print Color Images in Black and White."


4. Select "OK."


You can also change the color of your text to a true black in your word
processor. This will require you to resort to the word processor's
documentation and help files.


Both of these settings will cause your printer to use the black cartridge
instead of the color. If either one of these solutions solves your problem,
it means your color cartridge needs to be cleaned or replaced. If you feel
that the color cartridge should not be out of ink please try the following:


1. Go to the "Lexmark solution center." This can be done by clicking on
"Start," go to "Programs" and Lexmark printer group. Click on the "Lexmark
Solution center." Next click on the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Clean and Fix Horizontal streaks." This will produce a printed
page.


The colors that you should see here are black, yellow, magenta (a reddish
purple) and cyan (a dark sky blue). You should notice the diagonal lines
above and below the solid horizontal lines. These diagonal lines should be
solid from left to right with no gaps.


If there are gaps in the lines or the print diminishes across the page, you
should run the "Clean Print Nozzle" page a couple more times to try and
clear it up. If you still have gaps at the top and bottom, you should
"wick" the cartridges by following the steps given below:


1. Please open the "Solution center" again and go to the "Maintenance" Tab.


2. Select "Install color/black cartridge" and remove the cartridge or
cartridges from the printer.


3. Get a damp paper towel.


4. Set the ink cartridge right side up on the damp paper towel so that the
ink nozzles are against the towel and hold the cartridge in this position
for about 15 seconds.


5. Now wipe the print head (on the bottom where the ink comes out) across
in one direction only (left to right) until it looks clean.


6. Next dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure that the ink is
flowing.


7. Snap the cartridges back into the printer.


8. On your computer, select "Old Cartridge install."


9. Repeat the "Clean Nozzle Page" one more time. If this fails to address
the problem the entire procedure may need repeating.


If you have any more questions or concerns, please contact me at your
convenience and I will be happy to assist you. (If I am not available,
another representative will reply to you as soon as possible.) To respond,

Calendar 7.0 Ex/Import

Posted: 27 Jul 2006 09:33 AM PDT

Hi

If you are using the same version of Works in the two machines you can
use the same Calendar database file in both the machines.

The problem here will be syncing the databases from time to time. You
will have to be punctual about making sure that overwriting database
files does not result in the loss of any appointments.

As an aside it is always good to maintain back up copies of the
calendar database files when you are trying something new like sharing.
You dont want to lose all your calendar data as a result.

Yes. the problem seems to be becauseyou have upgraded to IE 7. Looks
like IE7beta clipboard contents dont paste too well in the Word
processor.

To work around this i would try pasting in an intermediate program "(
Word pad or Note pad) and then pasting it into the Word processor. Hope
this helps.

Hi Bob,

Check for Microsoft Works Calendar Reminders in Startup.

Start | Programs | Startup, on it's expanding menu you should see "Microsoft
Works Calendar Reminders",

What you see in the expanded menu of Startup is located C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If it is not there, create a shortcut to wkcalrem.exe and put it there.

Ken

PS: If you want to view some of what is started during boot, look in the
startup tab of MSCONFIG. If wkcalrem.exe is in the above startup folder is
should also display in this list. To view msconfig, choose Start, then
choose Run, type msconfig, click OK.

PPS files

Posted: 18 Jul 2006 01:17 PM PDT

More info......
After applying Windows XP Service Pack 2, you find that you can no longer open PowerPoint attachments (PPT or PPS files) from within Outlook Express.


This seems to happen when you have PowerPoint 2003 Viewer installed (not PowerPoint 2003).


Workaround 1: Save the attachment
Have Outlook Express save the attached PPT or PPS file to a convenient location on your hard drive then doubleclick the file's icon to view the file.


Workaround 2: A program to correct the problem
Visit this page on Sonia Coleman's site and follow the link to Shyam Pillai's PowerPoint Viewer Registry Fix


Workaround 3: Tutorial and another fix-it program
Visit http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ppsopen.htm for a complete explanation of the problem and how to fix it.


Workaround 4: Use PowerPoint Viewer 97
A user reports that if you install the PowerPoint 97 viewer instead of the 2003 viewer, this problem doesn't occur. Though the 97 viewer doesn't support all the features of newer PowerPoint versions, it should still allow you to view and print the presentation. Thanks to GB for this one.


You can learn where to download Free PowerPoint Viewers here.

Making Word 2004 for Mac documents work in Works for Windows

Posted: 15 Jul 2006 04:16 PM PDT

Hi Diane,
Created a 'fill-in" form with the database in Works4.5a in response to an
earlier question by someone else in this group. It's a quick job, took about
five minutes. Of course it depends on how elaborate your form will be. If it
will give you an idea I'll be glad to email it to you.
Don't know how it will look in later versions of Works.

Double-click the Outlook Express icon

If the above instructions copy all contacts from Outlook to their old

Move Mailbox errors

Posted: 08 Sep 2005 01:20 PM PDT

I guess that there are too many corrupt messages. Here's what I'd do.

1. Exmerge the mailbox to a PST, but leave the mailbox in service.
2. Run the Move Mailbox Wizard but up the maximum bad message count to a
high number.
3. Exmerge the PST back into the mailbox.

However, if you have corrupt messages in the mailbox, I doubt this approach
will help. You might be best off having the user copy everything to a PST
and then delete the mailbox and recreate it on the other server. Then have
the user update his profile to point to the new server.

E2K3: SMTP Connection Fails from Remote Servers

As a matter of fact there is. I just solved the problem a few hours ago.
There is a Cisco Pix Firewall seperating the server from the rest of the
network, and the command "fixup protocol smtp 25" was set. After I turned off
that command, the problem was resolved.

Word 2010: Select Word-Only, Without Any Spaces

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 02:32 PM PST

Here is the situation that annoys me more often than not. I click on a word to copy and paste. I want ONLY that word, without the space after it. I know, it is useful sometimes, but rarely to me.

I copy one word from one document and paste it to another document. Word 2010 automatically expands the word by adding one space at the end. The quirk is serious when I work with HTML pages. Even when I copy a group of words, like a URL, Word 2010 grinds my nerves with its over zeal. It adds one space to the left and one space to the left! That's catastrophic! The web address is not recognizable.

 

I've had this problem with all versions of MS Word I remember of. I know, I go to Settings, but the process is cumbersome. Incredible as it sounds, it doesn't even work! I start Options, Advanced, Use Smart Copy and Paste, click Settings, and then I deselect that stubborn Adjust word spacing automatically. Nothing changes! Sometimes, the Options come back to their previous settings after I restart Word. Sounds like the bullish software mocks me…

 

Anyway, is there a way to set this kind of preference without resorting to macros?

 

Thank you in advance.

Horizontal scroll or scroll lock not working in Office 2010/Win 7

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 02:06 PM PST

I have a Logitech g700 mouse that has a horizontal scroll option on the wheel. It does not work for Word or Onenote 2010 or Wordpad or desktop explorer. It does work for Notepad, Chrome and Explorer. This is the case with or without the Logitech software. And the case for my older MS 5000 mouse. Using the scroll-lock option and arrow keys gives the same results. But Excel 2010 allows horizontal scroll on both the wheel and the scroll-lock (!) 

 

What gives? [Yes, I've talked to Logitech support...you guessed it: they said "go ask MS"]

Office 2010 doesn’t recognize the word “symbology“

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 01:20 PM PST

It seems strange that the word "symbology" would be left out of the MS dictionary.  "Symbology" exists in the Webster dictionary and while not commonly used it doesn't seem like a fringe word or a technical term used in a niche area.  Just wondering if it was left out or maybe a bug exists that doesn't allow it to be recognized. 

On a related note, Office wants to correct "Symbology" to Zymology: a science that deals with fermentation

Word restores/pops-up one of the previously-minimized open documents when opening a new document. How can I stop/prevent this?

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 01:18 PM PST

This is very, very annoying when frequently opening/closing documents when there are one or more already open/minimized documents (which are not grouped on the task bar, for easier switching back and forth, etc.).

The last time or two that I migrated to new versions of Word on a new PC, the problem didn't occur, and then it returned after a few days. It took are a few weeks this last time when migrating to Office 2013, which I though had at long last fixed this.

I've done lots of searching and found no solutions, despite going through lots of postings on this problem (which are described with slightly differing terms/phrasing, which makes searching a challenge).

Older supposed fixes (like removing "/dde" switch from word 8 & 12 registry entries for the Word command line for opening a file) aren't applicable.

On the earlier Microsoft forum discussions I've found, Microsoft appears to be totally unresponsive after running people through the same elementary checks. Very frustrating to read through a bunch of dead-end threads.

Does anyone else have any new information on this issue?

The left edge of my Reviewing Pane extends past the edge of the document window

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 12:23 PM PST

When I turn on change tracking and show the reviewing pane, the left edge extends past the left edge of the window so I can't see the first few characters.  I've tried opening and closing it, moving it from vertical to horizontal and back, minimizing and maximizing the Word window, changing the view and zoom level of the document, nothing changes.  The left edge is still obscured.

 

This hasn't always been the case.  I've used the reviewing pane a lot in the past, and have never had this problem until today.

Email Document Drirectly from Word 2007

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 11:48 AM PST

I have Win7 pro and Office 2007 pro. I want to email word documents directly from word, using my hotmail account, and I've enabled the email shortcut in the word rapid access toolbar. It doesn't seem to be working after configuring as follows:

-Installed (and updated) Outlook Hotmail Connector
-Configured my hotmail account in Outlook, using advanced options and selecting Outlook Hotmail Connector

I don't normally use Outlook, but simply access hotmail from a browser, so I don't know Outlook very well. Is there something else I need to do to make this work? Can someone provide me a link how to set this up?

Problem with captions in Word 2010 Pro on Windows 7 Pro

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 11:20 AM PST

Just today, during final editing of a large document with many cross references of headings and captions (tables, figures) I realised that as I inserted a new caption (table or figure, it does not matter) all the previous captions were modified according to the latest one. If it was "figure" everything prior to that became a "figure" as well. If later I added a "table" all previous captions (which were turned into "figure") turned into "table" as well, and so on.

I reopened the document, tried to see if there was any update to apply (unfortunately none, as I regularly apply updates), tried to open and repair the document (again no success). Apart from the table of contents, I also have a list of figures and a list of tables, one of which is empty while the other one contains all of them (figures and tables, depending on the latest caption with common numbering).

The document is large with enough (not a lot) of pictures and a size of approx. 20MB. Until a total number of 20 captions (again approx.) everything seemed to be in order and figures were separated from tables with different numbering. Any ideas?

Inserting a Caption Issues

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 11:14 AM PST

I am having an issue when inserting captions in to a document. I want the caption field to point to the section header, displaying the section number with a letter following. I am able to get this to work perfectly, however, every time I add another caption on another image, the previously completed captions reset to Balloon Style and will not register the section header. This is becoming increasingly agitating. We are using the section header formatting style. I am using the multi-level list option for numbering. Below in bold is the message that comes up on the captions when it resets. I tried changing my formatting style to the Balloon Text the caption defaults back to but receive the same error message when adding another caption. I am at a loss on this. Please let me know if you would like more information.

Word 2013 not working...incompatibility with another program

I suddenly am unable to access Word 2013.  I get a message that there is an incompatible program, but I cannot get any information about what program is incompatible with my Word and I don't recall downloading any new programs.  My 2013 PPT and Excel are working.  My Word was working through Sunday November 10, when I shut down my computer.  When I started up the computer on November 19 (it was not on during the interim time) Word didn't work.

Please advise.

Right Tab Stop to the right of the Right Indent - Not Working

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 10:08 AM PST

You used to be able to place a right tab stop outside of the right indent, so that the tab actually appeared on the ruler to the right of the right indent. This was how a table of contents would be formatted so that if the heading title was longer than one line, the text would only go as far right as the right indent as it wrapped onto multiple lines, and then the page number would align farther right of the heading text at the tab stop. It now appears that Word 2013 (when it is not in Compatibility Mode) cannot recognize a tab stop if it is to the right of the right indent, so I cannot figure out how to get this alignment if the heading title is longer than one line.

 

The only way I can find that you can is to use manual returns at the end of each line of text with a dot leader tab on the last line, like this example:

 

   Really long heading title that is tremendously long so it goes longer than one line of text (RETURN)

   and in fact just keeps going on and on so that it spans multiple lines in the document (RETURN)

   instead of all fitting on one line of the document……………………………………………………………..............……….…3

 

How do I create an alignment like this within the paragraph settings without manually adding returns?

Agonisingly slow typing in Microsoft Word 2013

I've just bought Word 2013. Typing is agonisingly slow. I've seen people have problems with this elsewhere and it appears there is no solution? Can this be right?

Seems to be worse in a table, which seems to be a specific problem that others  have had. Is there any solution?

Help with a "text box"

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 06:11 AM PST

I am working on a document that was set up with, what I call, text boxes.  If you think of a document that contains the terms and conditions of a contract, but the wording does not go totally across the page, but stops midway, that's what I mean.  It's like there are two big columns on the page and the information for item 1 is about 5 lines, then item 2 underneat that, 10 lines, item 3 underneath that, etc etc.  The wording goes to the center of the page only.  Then item 7 jumps back up to the top of the page and the cycle starts again.  I hope I am making sense.  My problem is, the box that the words are contained in is fixed.  I need to be able to expand the size of the box to add some additional verbiage.  When I try to just insert, the new words just type over, it doesn't insert.

 

Anyone know how I can fix this?

 

Thanks so much.

Cannot find heading in cross reference dialog (Word 2013)

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 05:36 AM PST

Hello,

I cannot find certain headings in the cross reference dialog box. After reading community and support posts and performing web searches, I'm now asking this question. I have tried a few thing to see if I can resolve the problem:
  • I have spot checked some of the missing headings and they appear to use the included headings styles.
  • I have selected the text of a missing heading to see if using a different heading style leads to an appearance in the cross reference dialog box.
None of this helps. The headings that are missing in the cross reference dialog box do show up in the headings listing side pane and do show up in the document's table of contents. Any suggestions on how to debug this problem?

Thanks.

When I give the same name or different name and press the save button it come back asking the name. This is an ongoing loop going around and around withouot end. Well, it ends when i close the document without saving, hoping that in anothet time it will save the changes. And this happens if i try to use save as -form to save the document. There is no way to save any changes into the documents. And no, I am not using the read-only-document form so that is not the problem.

Any suggestions what might be causing this problem and how to fix this?

Problem printing in Windows 8.1

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 02:22 AM PST

I have just upgraded to Windows 8.1.  My two printers have shrunk and wrongly centered Word 2013 documents.  I am in the middle of printing a newsletter so am desperate.  I rang Microsoft support, got transferred to a French answerphone, it rang off.  I am not allowed to ring again.


Update:  I have transferred my Word documents to my laptop Windows 7, attached the printers, and now am printing OK - but still need to know why Windows 8.1 is not printing corectly.


Update 2:  I converted word to a PDF, as suggested in one post, and it still prints small. 


Eureka:  I found hidden parameters in the printer profiles that had set paper size to letter.  I have changed these to A4 and now everything is working OK.  No problems any longer.

Sharing Quick Parts

Posted: 19 Nov 2013 03:57 PM PST

I've made several useful quick parts that I want to share with my colleagues. They're currently saved in my normal.dotm. I've considered saving my normal.dotm as a .dot template and putting it in a networked folder, and pointing everyone's Word startup folder to that location. And I've considered saving my normal.dotm as a .dot template and emailing it to my colleages, but I'm not sure how they'd then make the quick parts from the template available to all their documents.

What is the easiest way to share quick parts? Am I on the right track?

And here's a subsidiary question: I recently tested out changing the location of the word startup folder for a colleague, and noticed that some (not all) of the quick parts had formatting changes. Any idea why that happened?

Get rid of em dash followed by a period at the end of a line.

Posted: 19 Nov 2013 03:53 PM PST

Hello, fellow Word users,

I need a little help with a query that I can't figure out. I need to get rid of em dashes at the end of lines. The em dashes are followed by a period. Like this: —.  I tried with ^+ which finds all the em dashes but I'm struggling to find only the ones at the end of a line followed by a period. In the wildcard list I don't see something like "end of line". Just "end of word". I tried: ^+> but it doesn't produce any results. Do you have any suggestion for me? Right now my only work around is to do it manually.  Thanks for any ideas you might have. Cheers.
