office 385 repair

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 02:20 PM PST

dear, I recently purchased office 385 home premium, could be used for 5 computers.

I have a problem today that prohibits the start of office word ( and excell and ppt). I did an upgrade of windows 8 and office 385 including visus scans with notron. 

yesterday I had 3 installations our of 5 available, now I have only 1 available ( while this office 385 is only installed in 2 different computors). 

the problem is still not solved and the number of office 385 installations is reducing. 

I am at the end of my knowledge in solving this problem, please also restore the correct number of installations 385 to 3 available.

thanks

Set different margins for first page only

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 01:05 PM PST

Something tells me this should be simple, but I can't grasp it.

I want to make a MS Word 2010 template to use with pre-printed letterhead stationery. This requires a top margin of 2 1/4" and a bottom margin of 1" on the first page only. Then all the subsequent pages should have 1" margins at both top and bottom.

Any advice or links would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Printer will not print the screen display

The screen text shows formatting marks like paragraph marks.  When I go to print preview, only the first line shows.  When I choose to hide formatting marks, then it disappears with only the first line showing.  What settings can I turn off?

Prevent word from applying styles

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 10:48 AM PST

I am trying to construct a document with no styles. It contains plain text, as well as outline style paragraphs. I v=can select Remove all styles, but if I starta multilevel list, Word insists on using the built-in styles./ They may look great in business communications, but they waste paper.


How can I force word to use my formatting?

Documents not opening using Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 10:28 AM PST

I just got a new laptop with Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013.  When I try opening documents saved to my library, it just says "Opening in Protected View" and nothing ever opens. 

Table of contents style

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 08:05 AM PST

I am working on a four volume book.  For one of the volumes, the Table of Contents is a very ugly style and I don't know why.

 

The Automatic choices in the Table of Contents menu on that one all have a different style for the lines, with different leaders.  For example Level one has ........  Level two has .................  Their level has . . . . . . .  The type is also different from the other volumes.

 

This results in the ugliest table of contents ever.  The other three volumes of my work are fine with all lines having . . . . . .

 

I cannot understand why the automatic TOC is different for that one document, nor can I find a way to change it.

 

I tried copying text from it and pasting it into a new document, but it still gives me that ugly TOC.

Unable to open DOCX and other MS Office programs after a c2r32.dll correction

Posted: 14 Dec 2013 12:07 AM PST

I use Office 365.  When I tried to click on any Office 365 product, I got some kind of message about c2r32.dll.  On a Microsoft help webpage a Microsoft tech stated that I have to remove and uninstall Office 365.  I clicked on the given link and it was uninstalled and reinstalled without any problem. 


Now, after Office 365 was reinstalled I can't open any Office application.  When I click on any document, I'm prompted to open with a different program.  I can open with a Notepad, but I lose all my formatting.  I have no problem creating the documents, but opening any new or saved documents is a big problem.


All my word documents are now saved as a DOCX file.  The saved documents were not saved with that extension. Also, anytime I create a new document I save it as a Word Document extension, it's converted back to a DOCX file.


I am also having the same type of problems with the other programs in Office 365.


How can I convert the extension file back to a normal file extension?

Thanks!

Word 2013: Unable to download Avery app

Recent Documents always says Read Only

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:41 PM PST

I got a new HP laptop, Windows 8.1 and Office 2013. When I copied my Word docx files created in Word 2007 to the new laptop, and open one of them within Word, all is OK. I can save OK. If I then want to reedit that docx and open it from the Recent files list, Word says it is a read only file, bit it is not. If I double click on that docx file in Windows Explorer the document opens OK.Any help is appreciated.

Can no longer associate .docx files with Word 2013

Posted: 13 Dec 2013 05:13 PM PST

I recently upgraded to Word 2013 (all of Office 2013), and it's been working just fine.  Until....


On December 11 I installed recommended updates, and suddenly found that when I double-clicked on a .docx file, it would attempt to open the file in an XML-viewer, rather than Word 2013.  Actually, it did something comparable with all of my Office applications (except, inexplicably, Visio).


I was able to remap the associations for Excel and PowerPoint (for .xlsx and .pptx files, respectively), and there has been no trouble with these since.


But for Word, I've been having trouble.  Specifically, when I go to do the association (either in Control Panel generally or setting the default opening program by right-clicking the file), I can navigate to Word 2013 in the Office15 folder...but then when I select WINWORD.EXE as the default program, it still registers as Word 2010.


Now this is only a problem with file-type associations:  if I run Word 2013 and open these files inside it, they open and run fine.  But I want to be able to open .docx files in Word 2013 by double-clicking them in Windows Explorer, like I've always been able to do.


Please advise...I'm out of tricks.


Thank you,

This is resource leveling.

Resource overallocations should be handled by leveling, it is made for

Multiple resources working together at same time

Posted: 07 Feb 2005 05:35 PM PST

There are two issues at work here. Rod and Mike have both covered one of
them but I'd like to clarify just a tad, if they don't object. Project
calculates the "work value" of the task when you make the initial resource
assignment. Your task is 20 min duration - you assigned Bob and it
calculates the task costs 20 minutes work. When you add Frank and Julie and
the task is marked effort driven, that 20 minutes is distributed evenly, be
between Bob and the pair of newbies so he gets 10 minutes and they get 10
minutes for the pair, 5 minutes each. Non-effort driven means the work
isn't distributed but instead is replicated, so each addition gets an
additional 20 minutes for a total work of 60 minutes being done during the
20 minutes duration.

What I wanted to add to their posts was a mention of the important
distinction between the *first* resource assignment and *subsequent*
additions or removals of resources after that. The work required is
calculated during the creation of the first assignment. If you had selected
the task, selected ALL THREE resources in the assignment window and clicked
"assign," all three of them are assigned at once as the first assignment and
Project acts the same whether the task is marked effort driven or non-effort
driven - each resource is assigned 20 minutes of work for a total work of 60
minutes exerted over the span of 20 minutes duration, 20 minutes per
resource. IF you do them in stages, first one and then another, clicking
assign in between, then the work is based only on the first one assigned and
the results depend of the effort driven setting.

Note that this doesn't guarantee that the resources stay together.
Regardless of how you assign them, the work of each resource is scheduled
independently. If Julie now gets marked unavailablbe because of vacation on
the day you're moving the TV, you'll find Bob and Franbk move their 2/3 of
the TV together but Julie moves her 1/3 when she get's back from vacation.
<grin> There's a setting in resource leveling "Leveling can adjust
individual assignments on a task" that allows you to make the leveling
process treat the group of resources as a unit versus individuals but
unfortunately its influence doesn't extend beyond the leveling engine. This
can lead to some strange occurances if you're not on your toes - the company
pilot flies to New York on Monday but the plane flys in by itself on
autopilot on Tuesday. <grin> When it's critical they work as a team, you
need to manually examine the assignments to insure Project hasn't pulled any
surprises.

Microsoft project crashes when I use a projector

Posted: 07 Feb 2005 04:27 PM PST

I've never had a problem with using a projector but you mentioned something
that might be a clue as to what's going on. You said "...works in dual
screen configuration in my docking station." Do you mean you're using the
Win XP ability to have two monitors active at once, each displaying
independently of the other? Or are you talking about the more conventional
practice of plugging an external monitor into the video port on the laptop
and simultaneously displaying the same image on both the monitor and the
laptop's screen?

Calculate effort for a short duration task between dates

Posted: 07 Feb 2005 12:11 PM PST

Hope you don't mind a bit of philosophy <g> and understand I don't know if
you're a newcomer or an old pro so forgive me if I revisit basics you
already know...

Problem is, IMHO, Project (and formal PM methodology in general) is really
designed for tighter controls than the approach you've mentioned indicates.
The idea is you want to get the project done in the shortest time and least
costly manner possible, consistent with your overall objectives. It's
designed as a tool to help the manager determine the most efficient
schedule, a modeling tool for the guy in charge who's going to be saying
"Joe - you go here on Monday and do this and you need it done by Wednesday
because that's when I need you over there doing that. Meanwhile Fred, I
need you to be at this location doing this all week. That way you'll both
finish by Friday so you can hand over those modules to Susan who needs them
no later than the following Monday, is everyone clear on what they need to
be doing next week?" It's a much more proactive approach to your resource's
work.

I don't mean being dictatorial - that old-fashioned kind of approach is
often counter-productive in today's business climate I think and you may not
have the position power to pull it off anyway - but instead of just defining
broad requirements and letting it go at that, work closely with them to work
out in much more detail precisely what they need to do and when they should
be doing it. Joe's task might require about 24 man-hours of work, something
he'd do in 3 days if he went at it full-tilt but you might go to him and
discuss what else he has going on and how he sees the task and end up
working out together "Ok, I'll show you starting it on Tuesday and you're
comfortable with my counting on you having it ready by Wednesday a week
later - that gives you 6 work days and you're ok with that?" and from that
determine what percentage allocation to show him on the task (50% in that
case, by the way). Now you've got something concrete to bank on and work
with. It's just you can't lose sight of the fact that you are proactively
coordinating and managing their work to meet a specific end result, not just
documenting the objectives and monitoring the work performed towards them.

Your deadline may be November, but if you can get it done by May, at least
in your initial pass that's how you schedule it. Then you can look at the
plan and see if a more relaxed schedule is practical (or desirable) and
reduce the resource assignment levels, introduce lag times, and so forth to
give you a comfortable schedule that finishes far enough ahead of your
required deadline to give you a bit of a cushion to absorb problems and
still meet your overall business strategic objectives.

You used the terms "time alotted" and "work performed." Project is much
more focussed on "time required" to accomplish the "work needed" in order to
meet the strategic plan. Hopefully the time allotted exceeds the time
required so you can brag "we came in ahead of schedule and under budget!"
and get that big bonus you've earned <grin>.

As Gerard said, the duration and start/finish of a summary task are always
calculated values. The summary runs from the date the earliest starting
subtask begins until the last finishing subtask ends. Depending on links,
splits, lag times, or lead times in the subtasks it can be anything from the
the same as the longest subtask upwards.

Hi

"main tasks" (commonly referred to as "summary tasks") are just that - they
summarise the tasks listed under them - their duration / start & finish
dates are calculated from the sub-tasks. Additionally, they can, but it is
not a good idea to, have resources put against them - basically just think
of them as headings.

Calendars for multi-resource tasks

Posted: 07 Feb 2005 01:27 AM PST

Hiya Peter:

No apology necessary! Saw your notes to Mike and Jan and rest assured it
was definitely not a waste of time for any of us. The whole topic of
calendars is one of those areas where Project is deceptively simple and it
can be somewhat counter-intuitive in the details..

A helpful hint or two. Your confusion is all wrapped up around what "base
calendars" are and how they relate to resource calendars. When you go to
"change working time" and create a new calendar by either starting from
scratch or copying an existing one, you are creating a base calendar. In a
simple case, perhaps your resources work either one of 2 shifts, day or
swing, Mon-Fri. You can create two base calendars in Change Working Time,
one called Day Shift, showing hours of work Mon-Fri 0800-1200 & 1300-1700
(don't forget to take into account lunches, otherwise you'll have a
cumulative error of over half a day per resource per week that will throw
your work values and thus costs way off) and the other called Swing Shift
that shows hours of work Mon-Fri, 1500-1900 & 2000-0000. Now you switch to
the resource sheet and create your list of resources. As soon as you enter
their names, Project automatically creates a resource calendar in the same
name by copying a base calendar. How does it know which base calendar to
copy? From your entry in the "base calendar" column of the resource sheet.
(Hence the name "base calendar," the resource calendar's are *based* on
them.) So if Laura works day shift, her base calendar is specifed as the
Day Shift calendar while Joe on swing gets the Swing Shift calendar as his
base. If you now go look in the Change Working Time menu you'll find
calendars for all the resource names listed in addition to the base
calendars, having appeared all on their own.

You can edit an individual resource calendars either by opening the resource
name from the Change Working Time menu or by displaying the resource
information in the resource sheet and going to the working time tab. Mary
is taking next week off - you open her resource calendar in whatever way is
most convenient and mark next week non-working. Fred works full-time day
shift but he works a 4-day, 10-hour schedule for his 40 hours. Open his
resource calendar, mark Fridays non-working and change the hours of work to
be 0700-1200, 1300-1800. We have a general schedule change and our regular
5 day work week day shift is now 7 - 4 instead of 8-5. Open the *base*
calendar for day shift, edit it to show hours of work 0700-1130 and
1230-1600 and *all* the resource calendars for day shift workers will pick
up the changes *unless* an individual's hours have already been overridden
for his calendar by a subsequent customizing edit (thus Laura and Mary's
regular hours change but Fred's hours don't).

An interesting aside I've found. If you're editing a base calendar, select
a day, and click the "Use Default" radio button and you get the hard coded
standard calendar hours of 0800-1200 and 1300-1700 - that's hard coded and
can't be changed. BUT if you click a day while editing a resource calendar
and hit the Use Default radio button, you'll get whatever hours of work the
resource's BASE calendar specifys for that day.

It was not intended to do those sorts of things. In my opinion Excel is a
far better tool for most of these :-)

extracting time value

Posted: 06 Feb 2005 03:58 AM PST

That's why I asked about what you're trying to do. The sum of the durations
is not "how much time it takes your employees" to get this work done. I
think you should consider using work instead. Duration is the amount of
working time there is between beginning and end. Work is the amount of
working time that was (or will be) used during the same time period. As an
example - Joe works on a single task 1 hour a day for 5 days. He does the
first hour starting Monday at 8am until 9am. He does the last hour on
Friday between 4 and 5 pm. The other three hours are somewhere in between.
Do you want to track that task as being worth 40 hours or 5 hours? If it's
40 hours you are correct using duration. But if its 5 hours, you should be
using work instead. Or I have three resources, Joe, Bill, and Mary, working
together as a team on some task 8 hours a day for 1 week. Do you want to
count that as 5 days or 15 days? Again, the duration is 5 days or 40 hours,
but the work is 15 days or 120 hours.

Office 2004 needs regular Force Quitting

What you describe can usually be rectified by (a) updating Office, (b)
restarting your Mac & (c) repairing disk permissions.

Also, even if fully updated, the issue can arise if you leave the Mac
running 24/7 and/or leave programs launched for days at a time.

product key validation problem after sp2 update

Posted: 21 Jul 2009 02:33 AM PDT

Just to keep you in the loop, i spoke to support at Microsoft and basically there is no way of my short circuiting the system without my serial key. So until i get home to england, there is no way for me to access my programs and the suite it technically locked. I am going to have to go and buy another version of office 08 and see if that serial number will activate the software i have installed.

expensive update. thanks MS.

Document Connection: Can't connect to Sharepoint (option grayed out)

Posted: 21 Jul 2009 12:43 AM PDT

Exactly the same greyed out thing here. I also have the student/teacher edition. It would be an absurd restriction if this is the problem as Microsoft are trying to push schools into using their software for learning platforms.

12.2.0 will not install

Posted: 20 Jul 2009 03:33 PM PDT

I don't claim to be *any* kind of "guru" & I don't work for MS.

Just because my reply offered no immediate *solution* doesn't mean it wasn't
helpful. If you open your eyes you'll understand that my reply to the OP
actually *was* helpful because I didn't just spout of a line of pap hoping
it "might" be the proper suggestion. In order to be "helpful" advice needs
to be based on information woefully lacking in the OP's message. Otherwise
it's liable to cause more harm than good... Or perhaps you're the type who
prefers to just to phone the doctor to say "I don't feel good" & have
him/her simply phone in a prescription for whatever the drug of the day
happens to be. I don't work that way.

Good Luck |:>)

Document Connection- Cannot connect to sharepoint site

Posted: 20 Jul 2009 03:31 PM PDT

I am having the same problem of not being able to connect to my sharepoint server through Document Connection. For the address, user name, and passworld, I typed into Document Connection exactly what I do when I access my sharepoint server through web access. Yet, I am prompted with Connection Failed in Document Connection when I can log in through web access just fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks......just wanted to check before trashing the old updates. I
don't have a 12.1.0 update. The last time I had to re-install my disk
put on 12.0.0 and the first time I tried to launch it. the updater jumped
in and moved it to 12.1.0. Hopefully, I will not have to do it again.

The new 12.2.0 has been working great

Thank

Problem connecting to Sharepoint site

Also, my Sharepoint address is an alias on a network (in my case it's just "http://sharepoint <http://sharepoint>").

I've tried linking to the IP also, but still not working.

Adding to Bob's advice. If you select to do a custom install, updating in
the future could be problematic. The actual applications take up very little
room. Just because they are installed, doesn't mean you have to use them.
