works 7 won't create active blue link in new document

Posted: 01 Feb 2007 11:25 AM PST

Hey Michael,
Thanks a lot. I went to
tools--->autocorrect--->options,
and saw under REPLACE AS YOU TYPE:
"internet paths with hyperlinks"

The box was already checked, so I unchecked and then checked it again, and
all is well. The links light up with the happy blue and open to the web
pages....kind of like a mini reboot for that wire...

Just so ya know- I tried 3 forums and ms support before you gave me that
idea- I had tried tools----> options to no avail. Saved me some grief-
thanks and be well.

Can't delete extra page in Word document

Posted: 31 Jan 2007 05:53 PM PST

You have excess spaces or other unprintable characters at the end of
the document.

Press Ctrl-End (hold down Ctrl key while pressing End key). This will
move the cursor to the end of the document. Then hold down the
backspace key until the cursor gets to the end of your text.

Hello Kaja,

Can you please provide the following information - Is the error
message box titled "Microsoft Works" or " Microsoft Word"
This will help narrow down if the issue is caused by Works Suite or by
the Word Program itself.

That's what I did. Selected Word the first time then two of them.
Came up with different errors each time. Each time it failed I
cleared the Temp folder and started fresh. Finally installed Word 97
and that install went smoothly. The cause may be that the Works
Suite came with my machine and the CD is marked for distribution
with a new PC. The new machine had ME installed which I removed and
then restored my SE system. That may account for it.

If you are looking to do this as a batch process you need a conversion
program to perform this operation.

Word Pad Supports RTF format, so even if you dont convert the RTF file
to WPS you can still open all your RTF files in the Works Word
Processor.

Problem with custom font

Posted: 12 Jan 2007 10:20 AM PST

Hi there,

the font ist a standard truetype font (*.ttf) I once created for him.
It´s properly installed. I noticed today the font works correctly when
working on a spreadsheet or a database, it just does not work in a text
document. Anyways, my grandfather can live with that, he didn´t wanted
to use another Works version, so he just signs those few text documents
by hand... ;)

Can I delete WORKSSETUP folder?

Posted: 11 Jan 2007 01:09 PM PST

I wouldn't expect that Works uses it on a regular basis. But there may
well be a registry setting pointing to that folder so that if Works
needs to install or update something it knows where to look.

But you could always drag the folder to be a subfolder of another one,
and if Works ever complains, drag it back.

Perhaps the primary user account is corrupt.

Create a new primary user account, *Test*, if okay you can delete old

Just a thought,

Basically, I want to combine Outlining and Numbering; so that whenever I go to the next level in Outline View, the numbering system understand that as a new level and applies the appropriate next level of numbering.

MS Word 2010 Pagination Problem

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 08:50 AM PST

I created an MS Word document and have setup several styles.  The document requires me to go from double columns to single columns when I need to center a text heading across the entire page.  When I do this, I add a "Continuous Break" and change from double to single columns and vice versa.  The page after that must have the page number reset so that instead of just the page number being displayed, it must also show the chapter number (e.g., 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, etc.)  When this happens, the page with the continuous break does not show the chapter number in the auto-generated table of contents (TOC).  So, randomly throughout the TOC, page numbers show as 4-1, 2, 4, 4-6, 4-7, 4-9, etc. as an example.  Why do some page numbers show up in the TOC with chapter numbers and some don't?  The only common problem I can see is the continuous page breakes on the pages without chapter numbers.  How do I get the TOC to show proper pagination for chapter sections?

Is there a fix to this? Is this not backwards compatible? or do I have to reenter all that data into a newer version of WORD (I really hope this is not the case)?

Shortcut recorded in unusual location & can't find it

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 08:00 AM PST

hi, I have a Word 2007 shortcut key problem. At some earlier time, I assigned on one computer the key Alt-H to the fraction symbol "1/2".

I would like to remove the shortcut, but can't find where the setting is recorded.

Where might this shortcut be hidden?

Under Insert>Symbol>More symbols>Symbol>[1/2]>Shortcut Key>Customize Keyboard, no "Current keys" are listed.

Swapping my standard "Normal.dotm", with a cleaner one does solve the problem, but obviously removes several years of important customizations as well.

Word 2013 high cpu usage even when not editing or scrolling

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 06:41 AM PST

Hello,
I am having a problem with Word 2013 on Win 7 x64, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM. The problem is that Word uses approximately 20% cpu when it has focus but is idle (i.e. I've clicked in the Window but not typing). If Word does not have focus, it does not use any CPU time. This occurs for every document I've tried, including new blank documents with no text. If I start Word in safe mode (winword /safe from a Run window), Word uses approximately 2% CPU. I've tried repairing my Office 2013 installation, disabling all add-ins, disabling hardware acceleration, disabling sub-pixel rendering, and disabling animations through the widely available registry key hack, but none of these have solved the problem. Can anyone help with this issue?

Thanks!

Why are certain styles undeletable?

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:48 AM PST

I am working a lot with Word's styles and I am putting substantial effort into only assigning and using what I call "logical" styles, i.e. styles named and used by purpose (vs. "visual styles" which are created and used by many people by directly adjusting font and style attributes).


I also always try to keep the style list clean, such that a document only uses and contains those "well-defined" styles, but none of those "Style ...." entries.


Occasionally, however, some of these "Styles ..." seem to be "undeletable", e.g. there currently is a style named "Style List Bullet + Left:  0 cm First line:  0 cm" in the list. Right-clicking shows, that there are 2 instances using that style, but when I click "select 2 instances..." nothing happens and Word does not navigate to the location where that style is used. But clicking on "Delete" also shows no effect.


So, how can I locate the document position, where this style hides, so that I can correct that fragment and then get rid of this style?

Extracting specifics of Word Headers/Footers

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:44 AM PST

 I have hundreds of documents where we'll need to change the headers/footers.   Right now, I'm pulling out the text of them to see what we have using code like this.  There are some documents that do have what appears to be a picture in the header, but I'm not finding it with the shapes.  

 

 

 

        For Each mySection In myDoc.Sections
            myCount = myCount + 1
            lRow = lRow + 1
            myWS.Cells(lRow, 1) = myDoc.Name
            myWS.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=myWS.Cells(lRow, 1), Address:=myDoc.FullName
            myWS.Cells(lRow, 2) = myDoc.FullName
            For j = 1 To 6
                If j = 1 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage)
                ElseIf j = 2 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage)
                ElseIf j = 3 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
                ElseIf j = 4 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
                ElseIf j = 5 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Headers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages)
                ElseIf j = 6 Then
                    Set myHF = mySection.Footers(wdHeaderFooterEvenPages)
                End If
               
                myWS.Cells(lRow, 2 + j) = myHF.Range.Text
               
                For Each myShape In myHF.Shapes
                    Debug.Print myShape.Name
                Next myShape
            Next j

       Next mySection

 

What I really need is: 

 

1)  Are there shapes in the header?   If so, we'll need to treat those docs differently

2)  Are there references to PAGE #'s in the header/footer.   Looking at the TEXt doesn't give it to me.

3)  How do I add the page numbers back in programmatically?  

 

Thanks so much for your help,

Office Web Apps Integration with FileNet

File size, styles and the use of normal.dotx in odt files Word 2010

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 03:11 AM PST

Because I want to crossindex my documents (usually 1 - 3 pages) externally I switched from putting them in one big file, using header(styles) to order them to separate files, where the filename starts with a datenumber (20131213A1). It seems that even in the most minimal saving mode these files become relatively large. I really would like to save only the text and codes representing formatting. The formatting itself should come from normal.dotm and Building Blocks.dotx and maybe other standard files. It turns out that saving as an odt file is the most efficient resulting in a 13k file for the same text as a 28k file in docx format. Still too much overhead I would say, but okay.

Of course there are some things that are not supported in this format, but what is really baffling is that when saving in the odt-format and then reopening the document the standard quickstyles (in fact  all the default styles) have disappeared and replaced by a set I can't use. The formatting itself has not changed. In the visual basic Editor I can see there is a "reference" to normal. With styles>import I can copy the styles from normal.dot again into the odt file and then go on but when I save and reopen again I have to repeat this. Just saving the odt leaves the styles in place. Is these some template for odt-files that is hidden somewhere that I can change? Or are there any other settings I can use? The alternative would be to introduce a "dots" format: a dotx which only saves the absolutely necessary references and shows only plain text when these references are not to be reached. I guess such a solution will have to wait for Office 2025.

In the meantime I hope there will be some suggestions here on how to tackle this. The most primitive some VBA code that copies the styles to the odt file upon opening.

Time is automatically populated upon opening the document and it must be in the 24hr clock

there must be a hyphen at the end of the time

5 spaces between the hyphen and the start of the text.

Input text

Upon text completion pressing ENTER will commit the following actions.

1. The cursor is moved above the inputted text.

2. The time is populated with the hyphen.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I try to open Microsoft Word, a message comes up saying that it cannot open because Office is busy.  This has been a problem all day.  Why is it doing this and how can I open Word?

Footnote numbering MS Word 2013

Hi all,

I am now working on a document and every time I add a footnote, there is no consecutive numbering, i.e. all footnotes are numbered 1. I would appreciate if someone can give me an idea on how to fix this. Thanks

All Word Documents Changed to "Office Open XLM Document" and De-Formatted after Windows 7 Update

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 05:56 PM PST

Today's Windows updated changed all my Word documents to "Office Open XLM" documents so that they only open in WordPad...this results in removal of most of the formatting and any graphics or pictures in the Word documents are gone....This is 20 years of work!

I tried changing the association of the files with WordPad to Word....Couldn't make it happen though I was at the correct place to do that.

I tried changing the file type of individual documents -- Word is not available.

I tried creating a new document in Word (The program is still on my computer), but the only possibilities are for saving in Open XML, text and rich text, none of which have real formatting available.

Everything was working fine until the minute the Updates were installed.

Help!!!!

Need a hand with a Visual Basic automation question

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 05:52 PM PST

Hello, all! 

Here's what I'm up to : 

I've created a template/form in Word 2010 for a data entry person to fill out. Simple enough : Name , address, phone number, other information. 
I did this using the developer tools, and content controls. Fairly easy ( though the option to format the data to be entered, and the maximum length features seem to have been removed in Word 2010 ) .

What I would like to do is to create a button that preforms the following steps : 

1. Save the document as a word document using data in the content controls. For example using the fields LAST_NAME and DATE to create a file name of DOE-JOHN-12/10/13.doc
2. Print the document to fax ( as provided in the file menu ) 
3. Re-Load the template or blank the entered fields for the next use. 

I've been told that this might be better done in Excel, but to be honest I could not see how it could be done in excel. 

All help is welcome, and appreciated.

Oifice on windows 8, decktop task bar.

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 04:30 PM PST

I'm new to office 2010 and windows 8, I've noticed that all aspects of the suite are separate, word excel etc. To put all of the separate apps onto the task bar is going to look very untidy and not very practical. Is there a way to bundle all of the office apps onto one button?  As I was disappointed to find that there was no single office tile, but 13 separate app tiles. Not quite microsofts brightest idea. Any solution to this issue would be much appreciated

Referring to the Next Item Order Item

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 04:04 PM PST

I am preparing a legal brief which requires that I refer to a bunch of numbered exhibits.

I determine the number of the number by its position in my Word document; the number of the exhibit has nothing to do with the paragraph number, a footnote, etc.  For example,

1.   bla bla bla.  See Exhibit 1.    bla bla bla.  See Exhibit 2.
2.    bla bla bla. See Exhibit 3.

How is that done?

TIA

How do I obtain the templates for myletters from office 2010 to 2013

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 03:42 PM PST

Over the last 20 years or so, I created a set of templates for word. From the first version to the last they all transferred through.
This time, my office 2010 was left intact. 2013 got the emails and the contacts but not the templates. I assume that there is a way, so can anyone advise me?

Office 2003 - Custom Maintenance Wizard - Change Company Name

Bob,

Thank you for the quick response! I would like to use the CMW method
because I need to change about 500 workstations. The big problem is
that I when a user starts typing the company name, in Word, such as:
SomeCompany, it wants to complete it as SomeCopmany, Inc. I would like
to remove the AutoText entry from everyone's Word application. I
thought the best way to do this would be to change the Company
Signature.

I am using a Office Admin Point and Enterprise/Volume licensing.

Like you said, the MST file for new installations works perfectly. I
just can not change existing installs.

The XP install CD must have SP2 on it to do an XP repair install of XP that

Checkout "slipstream" "slipstreaming", in regards to an XP install CD that
does not have SP2 on it.

Hi Jennifer,

Have I missed something here? Why can't you create a new master file with a
new name just for your customer's use? When others change the individual
projects it will be picked up in the customer's master. After all, the
master is just a temporary file being filled with the inserted projects for
viewing.

Exporting from MS Project 2000 using .mpx format?

Posted: 04 Feb 2005 04:11 AM PST

Actually I did try it and I got similar results as you did. I'm still
trying to figure out why. Even more intersting, mine shows the task splits
for 24 hours right at the end of the actual progress point. Not only that,
when I do some stuff in another file, close open files, and open the test
xml file again, the duration becomes 6.67 days. Note that reading the xml
is not a standard file open in the same sense as opening an mpp. Instead it
is importing the xml into a new project file. Not an xml guru so at this
point your guess is as good as mine as to what is really going on. My guess
is that the default calendar and work hours is in effect while the task data
is imported then the calendar information and settings from the xml file
come in and overwrite the defaults after the task numbers are already stored
but that's only a guess.

By the way, you mentioned setting the hours per day, hours per week, etc.
Keep in mind that those are actually conversion factors for duration units.
Duration is always actually stored in the database in working time units,
strictly speaking an integer value of 6 second "ticks" since 01/01/84. For
practical purposes though we can think of the data as being stored in
minutes to the nearest tenth. When you enter a task duration as "3 days" or
"2 weeks" for example, that entry is converted to minutes for storage in the
database. The hours per day or hours per week entry controls the
conversion. Whenever you see duration *displayed* it is being read in
minutes and converted back to the desired display units by the same factors.
An intersting experiment is to use the default 8 hours per day setting and
enter a 1 day task, while observing the times it shows scheduled. You'll
see duration is 1 day, task start 8am, task ends 5pm. Then change the
options setting to 7 hours per day. Now the same task still shows start at
8am and end at 5pm but the duration is now 1.14 days because you've changed
the definition of a "day." As I explain to my classes, the calendar (Tools,
Change Working Time) defines *which* of the minutes count towards duration
but changing "hours per day" etc, does not change the calendar and is only
there for convenience.

An alarm bell went off when you said you set "days per month" to 31. That's
not true - calendar months can have 28, 29, 30, or 31 days but even that
isn't the whole story. That setting, as discussed above, is also a
conversion so that I can enter a duration of "3 months" and Project can
figure out how many workdays that encompases and thus in turn the number of
work minutes the task is worth. A 31 day month usually does not have 31
working days in it - people do get time off and the off days don't count.
The days per month is not the number of days the business is in operation,
it's the number of days the average employee is formally scheduled to work
during the month

A complication for your consideration. The calendar, both the working time
calendar and the conversion we have been discussing, are not the hours of
business. They control when tasks will be scheduled to take place. But a
"task" should represent the work of one individual, a "skill set package" if
you like, or a team of such individuals working together as a unit. If you
use the 24 hour calendar and 168 hour week and enter a task with a duration
of 1 week, that implies that for the entire week work never stops - the
resource never has a meal, never has a sleep period or a rest for the full 7
days. That just doen't happen. So what happens if you use the 24 hour
calendar as the project calendar, set hours per day as 24, and set up
resource calendars that define their actual work hours like 8-5 M-F? I put
in a task starting Monday with a duration of 1 day. It shows starting Mon
at 8am, ending Tue at 8am. I assign Joe Labour to do it. The task
reschedules to start Mon 8am and end Wed at 5pm. But the duration still
reads "1 day." That's a big jump between what 2 tasks with the same
duration, one with resources assigned and the other without resources, will
show for their elapsed times and that can lead to a very confusing schedule.

Hope this gives you a few things to check out - let us know how it goes...

Adding to Rod's answer if you have entered start and finish dates for your
tasks instead of allowing Project to calculate them, it's very possible that
only the latest to finish task in your plan would be critical.

The best way to start figuring out how to write a macro to arrange boxes is
to turn on the macro recorder and do some arranging.
It will take a while before you get to the level that pert expert offers.
The price is probably worth your time.

Dana,
I tested my suggestion before I posted my reply and it worked just fine.
It may have to do with the timescale settings being used or a page setup
option.

In my test I used "years" for the major timescale and "months" for the
minor timescale with months expressed as three letter abbreviations
(i.e. Jan, Feb, etc.). I also tried (just now) using the full month name
for the minor scale.

I also have "fit timescale to end of page" checked under File/Page
Setup/View tab. With this option unchecked, I do get months beyond Feb
in the print preview.

If the "fit timescale . . ." is checked, try playing with the timescale
settings. If that doesn't help I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions.

Hope this helps.

Good morning, Rod...

Well, your code worked like a dream. :-) However, the formulas in the custom
fields are not reading the results. I've updated the formula to:
IIf([Text1]='E-Prod','Yes','No') and am running it in the Master Project. I
also tried it in the subproject, but no luck there, either. If you, or anyone
else, have any insights as to what is going on, I'd really appreciate hearing
it!

Thanks...L

Which field is 188743700?

Posted: 03 Feb 2005 05:25 AM PST

It is described in the projdb.htm documentation.
You can get the information out of the table by running a simple sql query

SELECT * FROM MSP_CONVERSIONS

That will give you a dump of everything in the table. Then by looking at
Projdb.htm you can make sense of it.
If you want to work with the database, I'd recommend that you get some basic
instruction in SQL. Having some idea on how to do basic queries, how to
backup a database and how a database is designed will help you if you are
doing development or administering project server.

projdb.htm is on your project cd or any computer with Project installed.

Can project standard run on a PDA

Posted: 03 Feb 2005 04:01 AM PST

As far as I know, Project doesn't run directly on a PDA. But there is,
or at least used to be, software that would take a Project schedule and
download some of it to a PDA, where task status could be uploaded to
Project. Never used it myself, so just repeating what I was told.
