Microsoft Word - Word/Excel 2013 is saving frequently used files to an unknown location

Word/Excel 2013 is saving frequently used files to an unknown location

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 03:24 PM PST

Good day,

I've been using Office 2013 for a few months now. Only recently (now that I am using it more frequently) it has been behaving strange. When I save some files (not all), it will relocate the file from where it was (C:\Users\{USER}\Desktop\Documents) to some Network Shortcut folder (C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts). The default save location is set to the Documents folder.

Why is it doing this and how do I stop it? The files are being moved out of my automatic backup location.

This is using Office Profession Plus 2013 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

Pie chart mail merge

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 01:50 PM PST

Hi,
I need to execute mail merge with excel charts, there are 1,000+ records in excel. 
Based on certain data field I need to create a pie chart. 
Using mail merge I am expected to have a different pie chart and a table of numbers for each record.
I've used the mail merge tool and managed to have both the pie chart and the table of numbers merged, but for some reason, the table of numbers loses the formatting. But when I merge without the pie chart, the numbers are formatted correctly.  Is this tool used strictly for pie charts? If not, how do I merge with the correct formatting?

Word and Excel 2013 will only run for restricted users

Legacy Text Form Field Size Limitations

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 01:39 PM PST

Is there a specific amount of space allowed in a Legacy Text Form Field? 

 

I have a user form with a legacy text form field.  The user locks the form and keys the information into the text box.  The user has keyed 1,349 words with 8,073 characters with spaces. 

 

Now when you open the document, the document receives error messages indicating there are table property errors, table cell margin errors and advises to close the document. Re-open with the Open and Repair. 

 

I've taken a blank version of the form, replaced the data and Word quits responding and has to be closed.  Then my form with the information is not there.

 

Placing One Jpeg Over Another With One Being Transparent

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 01:24 PM PST

I am creating a template in which I want to put our Agency seal over my signature. I have both the seal and the signature in .jpeg. I spent the better part of an hour checking around Office.com, this group, and the web in an attempt to:

a) Place the seal and the signature together; one on top of the other.
b) Make the seal transparent so it sits atop the signature with both being seen

Can this be done in Word 2010 (I'm sure it can) but I haven't been able to do it. Well, I actually did it once for a fleeting second but I could not get the transparency correct, then I forgot how I did it, and tried the Format Menu, text wrapping and whatever else I could try but it didn't work.

I know you can make parts of a picture transparent but that was not what I was looking for.

I hope I have explained this sufficiently but if you think of a signed agreement with a company seal stamped over the signature, you've got the idea. Any help gratefully appreciated!

Thank you.

Word 2007

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 12:36 PM PST

Wondering if Word 2007 has a bitmap editor?  I'm trying to change the background color for a few counties on a map created in WordPerfect.

WP Presentations X5 has a bitmap editor with zooming which makes me think Word would have the same.

 

Already did a Save-As of the WP document to Word 2007 format.

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Formula function stopped working in Word table

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 12:25 PM PST

I am using an invoice template and have been using this for several months.  For some reason, the function =PRODUCT(LEFT) will no longer calculate and only shows $0.00 when I'm adding new lines.    The previous lines calculation is still working.

In a different invoice, I am getting an error message "!D19 Is Not In Table" and I can't figure out why.  The table doesn't have 19 rows...

Alt+F9 shows the formula is the same and F9 resets to $0.00 and even those calculations that were previously working will not work after I press F9.


Please help.

Custom Properties in Word 2010

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 11:44 AM PST

I need to create a document that has Custom Properties that I can link. I knew how to do this in earlier versions of Word but this is my first attempt in 2010 and I am having no success.

 

I would like to use a .doc or docx file as I cannot use a .dot or .dotx file when combining documents using Adobe Acrobat. [Another step in the process]

 

When all is said and done, these linked properties (from the word file) will also tie in to a database field.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do i link text in paragraphs to figures in tables/charts

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 10:32 AM PST

Hello

I have a report i run every quarter.  I calculate the figures needed in Excel and create tables and charts.  Currently the process is to copy/paste the tables and charts into Word to send that document as a memo to the client. However, this process has become tedious and redudant. 

I know that i can link my tables/charts to my Word file so that if i update in Excel, it will auto update in my Word memo file. 

However, in the memo i reference in text/paragraph form the information provided in the tables and charts.  The figures change from quarter to quarter and sometimes a figure referenced in the text does not match the figure in the table because it needs to be manually updated and due to human error they sometimes get missed.  i am wondering if there is a way to create a field of some kind that will auto update the figure in the text based on the figure in the table?

e.g. 

Table 1
Calculation A 123,456
Calculation B 789,101
Calculation C 121, 314

"As you can see from Table 1 we have A at 123,456, B at 789,101 and C at 121,314, therefore..." 


Is there a way i can make sure that the information provided in the paragraph/text is auto-updated when the source Excel table is updated? 

Thanks!

Creating diffent types of pages to a template

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 08:17 AM PST

Hi All

I have finally created a template, what I now want to do is to add a landscape page, and an A3 page into the template and then if the user does not want to use these additional pages he/her can delete,

 

The problem i am having is that when I insert a section break into the template and then modify the next page, when I delete it all of the formatting followings on from the formatting after the section break

 

Does anyone have a solution for this....

 

Or will I have to create an additional page that can be inserted into the document if say user A wants to use a landscape of A3 Page.

 

Any ideas on this one would be fantastic.

 

Thanks

Creating Sub Templates from a Master Template

Hi All,

 

I am using Word 2010, but am in compatibility mode for 2003, as not all users have Word 2010/. I have finally managed to create a master template which is fully workable with great advice from this site,

 

However my next mission is to create sub-templates that link to the master template so that if any information is updated in the master template the sub templates automatically update.

 

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatfully received.

Message about spelling or gramatical errors.

When I open this Word document, it gives the message

 

There are too many spelling or grammatical errors in Letters 1 to continue displaying them.  To check the spelling and grammar of this document choose Spelling and Grammar from the review tab.

 

I do this and it says there are no problems.  Most curious.

 

This is a merge template document.  This happens when I open the template, and when I look at the merge result.  (This part may or may not be relevant.)

 

Who has seen this?  What can you tell me.  Thanks.

 

 

Office 365 Home Premium Free Trial Version not working

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:13 AM PST

Good afternoon. I am really hoping that someone can help as a matter of urgency.

I downloaded a free trial of Office 365 Home Premium this morning, but despite trying several things found online (including Fix It and reinstalling), it will still not open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, so I am completely unable to work.

It attempts to open those, but within seconds it says that it has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution. Windows never finds a solution and just closes the programme.

The PC is second hand and it came with Office 2010, which I removed when I downloaded Office 365.

Please, can anyone help?

Many thanks.

Why does Word 2007 reformat documents created by others when I open them?

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:00 AM PST

When opening .docx files created by others, my Word 2007 reformats some of the page breaks, margins, tabs, etc.  A co-worker of mine has the exact same version of Word, but she is able to open the document without any of this reformatting occurring.  Any ideas?

Can I recover a previous version of my document?

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 06:20 AM PST

I'm using Word 2007 for windows7 Yesterday, before closing a document I'd been working with and saving for two days, I unknowingly pasted irrelevant text over the entire document, saved, and quit. Needless to say, I was quite shocked this morning to find two days of work gone. Is there any chance that word stores a "revisions" history, similar to GoogleDocs? Or is my work just gone?

Dots Instead Of Spaces

And it wasn't just on that file - all my Word files now have the same thing. How can I get back to normal (spaces not dots) and what did I accidently hit to create this problem? I use Microsoft Office 2003.

Insert text on specific line at specific position

I have never had this before.  What can have changed?

Default tray not being recognized when saving document as a template

Posted: 02 Dec 2013 08:44 PM PST

I have created and saved a document as a Word Template called "Contracts"  it is a three page document.  I have a problem when I am printing this document though, no matter what tray I tell it to print from it will print from Tray 1 (which has my letterhead) I do not want it to print to Tray 1 so I have changed the default settings in the document to tray 2 but this does not make a difference.  I  have also selected tray 2 in the actual printing options but the first two pages of the document will print from Tray 1 and the third prints from tray 2.

I have reverted to creating this document again but this time saved it as a document and not a template and it seems to work however I am frustrated that I cannot save it as a template.

Has anyone experienced this problem.

Invisible highlight color

Posted: 02 Dec 2013 08:13 PM PST

Usually when you double click or select a piece of text, the word processing program (word 2007) highlights that particular word for you in a color that contrasts the background. 
But for some  reason when I double click on a piece of text in word 2013, it's hard impossible to see that the text is highlighted. In other words the color is either the same as the background color (white) or a highly transparent different color.
How can I make it possible to distinguish between selected text and non-selected text? Is there a setting in word 2013 that can be changed to make it happen? I didn't have these problems in word 2010 or 2007 or 2003 or....


Thanks.




I'm not talking about the highlight on the ribbon, I've tried that and it's not working.

Effectiveness of ntp under Redhat Linux FC3

Sounds old, isn't the FC3 update kernel even more recent?
 

Ntp can be configured to ignore this behavior which does indicate
some serious problems. IIRC it will ignore the problem only once
and exit if this happens again. Should be all in the fine manual
'man ntpd', should be the first thing to try, checking the docs
coming with the package.

If the backup happens at a scheduled time, you could run a script
from cron or the backup software, stopping ntpd and later using
ntpdate to set the clock and restart ntpd. Sure this is a bit
clumsy but the real problem is related to your broken hardware.

trick? Is there not a way to reconnect the winxp installation with the
appropriate boot files, rather that trying to recreate the partitions
that existed when it was installed?

Linux native unicode support?

Posted: 19 May 2005 04:18 AM PDT

Peter T. Breuer wrote:

[...] 

Yes, depending of what is understood under "Unicode". Linux knows what to do
with UTF-8 if set up properly. It will have problems with UCS-2 (as used by
Windows). Both may in some sense be called "Unicode" :)
 

So what? As long as Unicode in the input encoding is displayed properly?
 

Yes, that is (may be) a problem. Linux text console has room for 512
characters only (I have heard of pathes that enable font switching on the
fly) so you probably cannot stuff very much in it. GUI is better but even
then konsole does display quite a lot of rectangles when I cat KDE desktop
file with all translations. In any case, you need not *one* font but font
set that covers those Unicode planes you need.
 

You mix viewing and processing. Program may process Unicode correctly even
if system is not setup to display it. (less is not unicode aware BTW at
least w.r.t. to editing command line so you cannot enter search string if
character set is multibyte).

Maybe 2x2 disk RAID1s as swap partitions. The server "shouldn't" ever start to

RAID then :)
 

I think a root-RAID is a good thing, and lilo supports automatic update of all

My root has /boot on it, I didn't want to mess about with another partition.

grub problems: rootnoverify / chainloader problem

Posted: 15 May 2005 11:17 PM PDT

org a écrit : 

This is not an error message. This is the normal way for grub to boot WinXP.

What happen when you just wait?

You could also try to use the autocompletion of grub when booting to
guess what are the different partitions you can boot on:

when you first see the boot menu of grub, just press c to get into the
command mode.

Then try to write "rootnoverify (" and then press the 'tab' touch. Grub
should guess your different partitions.

As for the question of choosing sda, sd0, hda hd0, remind you that sd
calls for scsi devices and hd for ide ones. Then the linux system uses
letter a,b,c,... (depending on which ide place it is linked and if it is
a master or a slave) and the grub system uses number 0,1,.. in the same
order as it appears in the bios list of hard drive.

DHCP issues with Fedora 3

Jon,

Haven't got much troubleshooting methodology to offer but I just installed
and in rapid succession upgraded Fedora Core 3 on a new Dell 470
Workstation.

Before I moved this machine into prime position it was sitting at the
other end of my home network receiving DHCP assignments faultlessly from
its aged bretheren 410 workstation running RH8.0. Now that the tables are
turned, the 410 is getting its IP and DNS assignment uneventfully from the
470.

I've upgraded the stock kernel twice, first to 2.6.11-1.14 and then to
2.6.11-1.20 with no change in the behavior either time.

Of course, it's necessary to review fire wallsettings, but a kernel
upgrade won't alter that.

# emerge -C xorg-X11
# emerge -C ccache
add "-fPIC -pie" to USE in make.conf
# emerge xorg-X11
Configure X server.
When configuring kernel tick off option like 'mount /dev on booting',

How many partitions?

Posted: 14 May 2005 09:17 AM PDT

CentOS is not really a "kind of server". It's a "kind of OS". If you're
running a news and email server, for example, you will want your news or
mail spool to be a partition that handles lots of little files very well,
such as a ReiserFS or ext3 partiton with "noatime" set. If you're running a
development box on which you're building lots of kernels, it may be handy to
have /tmp, /usr/tmp, /usr/src, /usr/local/, etc., etc. all on the same
directory so that you don't have to worry about re-allocating space from one
to the other.

A lot of the reaon for lots of small partitions has to do with old, small
disks that couldn't hold much material, and backup tools that had to be
bootstrapped onto a teeny little / directory, then botstrap things onto
/etc, then restore the other directories from backup tapes. This forced
people to break things up into lots of different partitions.

These days, a 200 Gig drive is easily allocated into a 40 Gig space for the
OS, another 40 Gig space for home directories in case you want to swap OS's,
and another 120 Gig of scratch space, with say 4 Gig set aside for swap
space.

No, it does not. It uses the bios to read the appropriate raw sector of the

than Lilo) grub program which can also read the sector containing the
description file to tell it where the various possible kernels are. Ie,
instead of saving them in the MBR it saves them in a file which is read in.

 

It uses the info in the grub.conf file.

out of luck. If it has MORE THAN one partition listed, then look at
what they are mounted as:

[compton ~]$ df

The first line talks about root. The second line refers to another
partition that is mounted as /home. This means /home (and everything
below /home) isn't on the first partition, and that everything below
home is mounted on the second listed partition.
 

'df' and 'find' should do the trick.

how to add a billing rate which is different from the cost rate?

Posted: 20 Jan 2005 12:53 PM PST

Tks Julie, it worked.... partially:

Before, I did not divide [Work] by 60. Now it works, although I don't
understand why I should do that since [Work] is already set as hours in my
project.

My problem now, is that I cannot have the billing rate at the resource level
and the billing budget at the task level + details at the resource level:

If billing budget is a Task type custom field, I cannot use the billing rate
in my formula if it is set as a Resource type custom field.
If Billing budget and billing rate are both resource types, I cannot see the
task details of my billing budget. In fact, I can only see the total billing
budget of my resource in the Resource sheet.
If Billing budget and billing rate are both task types, I cannot see the
resource details of my billing budget.
What I really want is to reproduce the Cost scheme, but for billing.

Do you have a solution for this?

update task by email

Posted: 20 Jan 2005 12:19 PM PST

Dear JulieS
Thank you for your information, i did it the way that shows the article.

Now i believe that I have a bug or something, here is my test that I did so
far:
"as a test I created a test project file with three task.
(one day = 8 hous of work)
task 1 -- 1 day -- start today
task 2 -- 1 day -- start tomorrow
task 3 -- 1 day -- start the day after tomorrow.

Now, I assign me for those three task. I send, ONLY for the task 1, a
"Request progress information..", i recieved the email myself, i type 8 hours
of work to simulate that the work was complete today, I sent the update.
Later i recevied the update and I update the project file.

Now, when I click update project (from the email), my project file is open,
BUT here is the problem, this automatization add ONE more day to the task 1,
and mark 50% complete, when I supposed to mark 8 hours or 100% complete.
This increment all other task since are linked.

this is a bug, or not.

Also, i would like to send by email, the % completed of the task, and NOT
the HOURS of some day. Where i can modify that????

By the way, I installed Project Prof. 2003 instead standar 2003.

Thanks,

Application Error

Posted: 20 Jan 2005 03:45 AM PST

> >John - I created: 1.a Master File with resources to use 

Tom,
Normally a resource pool file contains only resources (no tasks) and
remains separate from the files with tasks that use the shared
resources. However, one of my main test files is a configuration just
like you describe. The master file has the resources and the other files
are inserted subprojects. I have had no problems with this configuration
for over a year.

How do you build the master? There are a couple of ways to effectively
insert subprojects. The preferred method is via Insert/Project although
the Window/New Window method also appears to work, but I've never used
it. As far as saving, long ago I got into the habit of always doing
"Save As" for the master and each of the subprojects. It works for me
although there is a lot of support among other users that a straight
"Save" and "Save all", as you are using, is equally as effective.

You may possibly have corruption in one or more of your files. Try
rebuilding the files. Start by deleting the subproject from the master
and then and saving it as as a .mpd (database). Then reopen the .mpd
file and do a "Save As" to an .mpp. Do the same thing with each of the
subprojects and then rebuild the full master by using the insert method
as noted above.

Hope this helps.

Problem with "Export to Excel"

Posted: 20 Jan 2005 02:47 AM PST

Dear all,

I've got a problem with the "export to excel" facility. I want to export
Actual costs spread across months.

For example, I have one activity with an actual cost of £9.5 and 3 months
duration. The ACWP gets exported as £9.5 PER MONTH up to the status date.
The Actual Cost figure gets exported as £9.5 for the first month and then
nothing for the remaining 2 months duration on this activity. What I would
hope to see is the £9.5 prorated across the 3 months duration of this
activity.

Does anybody have any ideas here?

Thanks and regards,
Angus Duncan

where can i find an easy to understand 'which version of project do you need' web page

Posted: 19 Jan 2005 11:11 PM PST

Hi Julie,

Unfortunately, multiple people cannot have the *same* MS Project file open
for editing at the same time. (And AFAIK, not even with server.)

They can use a resource pool setup and each user can have a project file
with their portion of a larger project connected to the pool. Each user can
then update their project file and can update the changes in assignments to
the shared resource pool. The individual project files and be consolidate
through the pool file as needed to view the "master project".

I have a client that sucessfully used the shared pool and multiple project
file setup with about 15 project managers and many more project files.

I think the advantage of Project Server is the ability to allow resources
(and others with sufficient access rights) who don't use MS Project to view
their tasks and provide tracking information. As I am sure you know, Project
Server is a whole other layer of complexity (and cost.)

Hope this helps somewhat.

Creating a team project plan by % worked per month

At first glance, getting the total hours by task and resource, or by
resource then task for that matter, is easy. What's a problem is finding
the total hours the resource was scheduled to have worked on both project
and non-project activity so you can compute the percentage. Honestly, I'm
not sure where you're going with it or what the usefulness of these
percentages might be in terms of managing projects. If you could go into a
little more detail about why you're trying to produce this report, maybe
there's a way to get the equivalent information for you in some other way.

Heresy - how to prevent Project from calculating/changing dates

Posted: 19 Jan 2005 10:25 AM PST

If you need to track progress etc you really have to have calculation set
on. But how could you possibly enter actual data without changing the plan?
A task was scheduled to start on 15 January. It actually started on 20
January. How can you record the actual data you need to track, in this case
the date it began, without changing the start date?

You also said you need to show dependencies. Taking for discussion the
default FS link, dependencies mean, by the very definition of the word, that
the start time of the successor task is dependent on the finish time of the
predecessor task. There is something in the second task that uses something
produced by the first and until that something exists it is physically
impossible for the 2nd task to start. But in your question you seem to be
saying you want to ignore that scheduling fact, that you want task 2 to be
scheduled on some arbitrary date and stay there even if it means that the
people who will do the work are going to show up and sit around twiddling
their thumbs, waiting and wasting your money doing nothing, for the required
parts or whatever to show up so they can start work. No offense intended,
but this makes absolutely no business sense at all.

If it is required you know what the original plan was, so that you can
compare performance against plan, that is another story all together. After
you create your plan and before starting to post in actuals, you save a
baseline. The baseline is a snapshot of the plan and in the baseline all
the original values of start and finish etc are locked in and preserved even
if different values are subsequently entered in the plan or posted as
actuals later on. Once you have the baseline, it is an easy task to create
a Gantt chart and task table that uses the baseline values rather than the
normal one that uses the scheduled values. As you enter actuals, the
schedule will change but the Gantt chart you're showing isn't using those
values but the locked-down baseline values instead and so will always show
the static plan as originally conceived. How this has any use as a
management tool is beyond me, but you certainly can do it technically.

And the best advice I can give is to keep a second copy of the plan
maintained as it really should be so when the boss who's requiring you to do
this is fired for s****ing up the project and throwing away so many
resources, you can show HIS boss how you would have done it properly and
earn yourself a promotion <grin>.
