I want to create custom icons for my macros

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 02:15 PM PST

I have created 7 macros that I would like to create custom "buttons" for on the QAT.

I have ready Greg Maxey's posts several times and they do not really address my issue.

How do I create a custom button and associate that with a Macro?

I have png files of the icons I want to use.

When I try to use the Custom UI Editor, after I have opened the file,  I don't see any scripts to associate the image with.

Thanks for your help.

How do I keep copied material from reverting to Cambria?

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:51 PM PST

Why is it that when I copy from a source that is in Times New Roman into a document that is also in Times New Roman, and click on "keep source formatting" it ends up in Cambria anyway?  I do not want Cambria anywhere in my documents - how can I get rid of it so I don't have to keep reformatting everything I copy?

Hi. I am currently using Office 365 Home Premium. (I pay monthly for it.) I don't know why or how, but now every time I try to access my Microsoft word or excel documents, the words "This modification is not allowed because the section is locked." pops up at the bottom of my screen. Also, I'm asked to accept the Microsoft Office License Agreement. I have checked my subscription, which hasn't ran out. If anyone could help, that'd be great. 

Merge Fields

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:25 PM PST

I am working in word 2010 and I am having trouble with mail merge.  My data source has a field called "ltr_date" and I want to run a mail merge that says if ltr_date is (current date) then add three days and print that date (three days from the current date.

Also I need help with using the rules, I have a situation that goes as follows:

I have several funds that I want to print in a letter with the amount that is associated with that fund, now each person could have one fund or up to 4 funds I want only the funds for that person listed on the letter and then i want it to move on to the next person and list all funds for that person.

Example of what I need for further clarification.

If fund is not blank then enter amount

if fund is blank go to next person or next record

I know I need to use the next record or next record if option but not sure how to set this up can any one advise me on this.

Office 2013 AD RMS

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 11:41 AM PST

Hello,

I am evaluating ADRMS on Windows Server 2012 x64 with Office 2013 installed on Windows 8.1 x64. 

Initially, I tried with the Office 2013 eval version and was able to protect document using RMS. On switching to our vol licensed version of Office 2013, On trying Info->Protect Document it shows a menu item "Connect to DRM servers to get templates". But on clicking that it just shows an error "Sorry something went wrong opening IRM protected content. The system cannot find the file specified"


Windows server 2012 has AD DS & ADRMS installed. RMS uses internal DB. I tried with both https & http URL for licensing. I suspect either I have missed some steps/registry I used with the eval version or there is some difference/settings needed with the vol licensed binary

Is there a document that details the set of steps to implement/configure RMS (on win server 2012) to use with Office 2013 on x64 please? Similarily, Is there a document to configure Office 2013, preferably vol licensed version, to use the RMS?

I would also need to write applications using RMS SDK 2.1 to protect document that would be accessed using Office 2013.  Will setting up the SDK need any special care with the Office 2013 installed on the same machine?

Thanks

Opening Word attachments in O365 Outlook - text disappears

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 10:15 AM PST

Using O365 PRO (that option wasn't available in the drop down menu).

Recently, a problem has started for me where email attachments look fine in preview and when I open in protected view, but the second I hit enable editing, the text completely "disappears".  It's there somewhere because if I click "Select All", "copy", open a blank document and hit "Paste", it magically appears.  What's up with that?!!

It's a nusance generally but absolutely unworkable when in revision marks b/c the revisions and comments do NOT follow the copy/paste fix.

Office 2013 - Mail Merge Totally not working

Word Templete auto insert rows based on form field

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 08:23 AM PST

I would like to make a template that would auto insert rows based on a number in another field in the document - for example:

The employee performed [insert a number here] tests (tests #__ through #__).

And in another section it would automatically make the number of rows and number them in a table:

Test Number Type of Test

So, if I entered in [5] in the number of tests then the table would automatically look like this

Test Number Type of Test
1
2
3
4
5

Can't retain window size when switching between documents

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 08:18 AM PST

In previous versions of Word, it was possible to reduce the size of a document window in order to switch quickly between open documents or see portions of two or more at the same time. In Word 2010 moving the mouse anywhere near a reduced-sized window immediately restores it to its original size. I've experimented with the Options window but haven't found the key to making this behavior stop. Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Microsoft Word / Excel Merge - Willing to pay for answer.

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 03:15 AM PST

Hello I have a number of rows in excel which I would like to merge to a document.

The rows contain different types of language exercises which must be merged to a text file then imported into a flash card program.

The issue is that each row has an exercise type. This determines what template this row must be merged with. There are many different exercise types. So there will be many different template types. The row contains cells numberd 1,2,3,4,5 etc. This field contain the data that I must insert into the template.

The end result should be one document that is in the same order as the excel spread sheet.

Here is a example of the end product :

-----------

C : Acme

citations greyed out in a certain document section only

Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:39 AM PST

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with a particular section of one of my documents.

as title says, in this particular section/chapter the citations are greyed out.

in the remaining documents and in an eventual new one it all works fine.

i actually solved this issue by deleting the whole section, creating a new one and copy-pasting the content from a previous version, and deleting every source already existing in the master list, but i would like to know what could be the cause of this. I have the feel that this could happen again but i can't keep recovering previous versions again and again.

i've read several topic stating that the only solution fro greyed out citation is to uninstall and re-install office, but in such cases the citations were greyed out in every document opened, even a new one.. to me it only applies to this particular document section..

maybe there is a key combination for locking or disabling this function that i could've pressed unintentionally?

also, the document in this case is a complete version of my thesis, made out of copy paste of several single files.. this have caused also several double citations i was manually replacing.. could this have messed out my citation list somehow?

thanks in advance

Count active document file number in folder

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 07:00 PM PST

Hi,

I have a macro that cycles through documents in a folder and prints them to file as a .prn. It works briliantly. However, it has to sort through over 900 files to do so. To speed the process, I added in a code to hide the Word application and just run it behind. This reduces the time the pc has to draw each document on screen as it is opened. This in turns removes the ablity for the user to see the progress of the conversion.

I have found a way to make a progress bar to appear on screen as it cycles through the files. However, I can't find how to determine the number of the file in folder that is open. I found a metkhod to print the number of files in a folder here on one of the forums:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/how-to-find-number-of-files-in-a-folder-via-vba/87c650de-c0b3-46b0-b7d2-284e0b3b328f

I wanted to have a message on screen:

Converting file "active document number" out of "number of files in folder"

Does anyone know how to find the active document number or can suggests another way to show the progress?

I appreciate all your suggestions.

Please note: because of the mess with Office 2007 beta, you may not be able
to activate it right now. I'd suggest waiting until the middle of next week
to try this!

Uninstall Office 2003 from the old system.

Install Office 2003 on the new system. If you get a message about it already
being used on another system, select the telephone option and explain it to

i have tried clicking ignore a few times but eventually give up and cancel.
i found , unfortunately, that it had some effect on my computer in that
Outlook 2003 would not function and I started getting repeated "syshost"
failures needing repeated reboots. Eventually, i had to restore my computer
from a ghost image I had fortunately made before trying the beta office.
System restore ,as always, even though it used about 6 Gigabytes of hard
drive, failed to restore [ I have now stopped it forever]
As you will imagine, I am loath to try again right now. I will wait for The
disc I ordered from Microsoft and then afer another 'preventative ghost
image' will try again

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately I didn't make a print screen.

The message was something like "An unknown error has occurred during a
previous attempt. Install has to roll back changes"
It appeared a few seconds after the installer window was displayed.
I'm using Win XP home 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Nu 2600.
It is an upgrade over Office 2003.

Besides this small glitch, everything ran successfully.

Congratulations for the new impressive Word interface !

Office 2007 Beta 2 Install Failure

Posted: 25 May 2006 12:03 PM PDT

Thanks Bob,

In the temp directory, the installation creates a OWP10.tmp directory and
that is all (that directory is empty). It looks like, after the message box
closes, another dialog box opens very briefly, but closes immediately. I just
see a very brief flash, but it isn't up long enough to see what it says.

Yes, I am logged in as administrator.

I'm installing in 64-bit, how would I go about trying in 32-bit (I've tried
setting compatability mde for the installer to Windows XP, but had the same
result)?

But isn't the file /sys/devices/whatever.../type present on your system?

I think it should be possible to do lspci, and use the output to exclude
most of the irrelevant parts of the /sys/devices file tree. There should
be just one or a handfull directories left to investigate manually.

The first question is if this script is already being called with your
device, but the script does not do the right thing at that point, or
is the hotplug system just not seing the cd burner, PleXWriter, or is it
seeing it before /sbin/hotplug is installed and the udev systems starrted.

In the first case, you could perhaps instrument the script with some
logging, have it show for each invocation what environment variables
it is being called with, and what actions it is taking.

In the latter case, one needs to investigate the existing infrastructure
for simulating hotplug events for devices that are discovered early.

[...] 

OK, interesting. Would be nice to know what the difference really is,
between /sbin/hotplug and /sbin/udevsend.

[...] 

Ah, so some hotplug events are generated by the module once it gets loaded,
and your existing infrastructure knows already how to deal with that.

What is missing is something to trigger the loading of this module.
I suppose the "Symbios SYM20810 PCI to Fast SCSI Host Adapter" does appear
in lspci, and has some directory nodes in the /sys/devices tree. Something
there should be the trigger for the missing thing.

What does this part of the device tree look like? Are any attached devices
visible before you load the sg driver? What driver does scsi host adapter
use? If the attached device is not visible, the presence (or the discovery)
of the host adapter should trigger a program or sequence of events that
lead to the discovery and enumeration of the attached devices. The missing
piece of logic must somehow attach to that.

In the end this will lead to an amendment of the distro scripts that could
be contributed. That is the point I see in not just sticking modprobe
commands in rc.local, to generate something that fits in the general
framework, is maintainable, and will load the correct modules on any
computer, not just your.

Protection from a Rescue or Live CD accessing the filesystem

Posted: 02 Dec 2005 03:15 AM PST

Tauno Voipio wrote: 

cryptoloop was the perfect reason to reinvent the wheel.
When I started looking into cryptoloop about three years
ago it was obvious that it was written by people not
knowing enough about disk encryption. Back then there
was lots of implementations of disk encryption with no
theoretical foundation. We simply didn't know how to
analyze a disk encryption to decide if it was secure or
not.

Suggesting the use of disk encryption as a mean against
tampering is no good as none of the existing
implementations I know about does anything to handle
tampering. You can make a disk encryption that detect
tampering and reports read errors when it does, but it
seems nobody has done so yet. And if you do you of
course also have to consider the consequences of
tampering with the code supposed to detect tampering.
You may decide to trust code on a boot CD to detect
tampering with HD contents, but you would still have a
BIOS to worry about.

As far as security against passive adversaries that do
not modify disk contents, I think the best encryption
currently available is GBDE. It is not perfect though,
I do find the cherry picker a bit fishy. The generated
keys are not uniformly random, and it only takes minor
additional weaknesses before I have a real attack
against the cherry picker which does provably reduce
security.

In spite of that I still think GBDE is miles ahead of
cryptoloop. And don't get me started on password
changes, which are either insecurely designed or not
implemented at all in every disk encryption I know
about.

And in case you want to read some of the litterature
on the subject, I recently posted this comment with a
list of some relevant works:

there isn't a single entry.
I think it's time to log the debug logs from syslogd

 
ntpd writes to it directly, I have nothing in the syslog.conf file
referencing servicelog.

 

What is different is ntpd write servicelog directly. My system is very
different from yours as it is a scratch built system, not a distribution.

Disaster Recovery

Posted: 01 Dec 2005 10:16 AM PST


Well, with all these discussions going on, no one has yet offered one
of these sites that perform this task for you.

I di have an external USB drive and use RSYNC to back up differences
each night. Big deal, I still would need a box in case of a disaster,
ot in case the DSL went out again for a long period of time.

But again, I've heard to these places where you can just buy or rent a
50GB chunk of of space that yours, to load whatever OS you want and do
whatever you want with. That would work good as a temporary solution.

The service needs to have the following:

Red Hat (Which I probably install)
Apache
Postfix
Perl SSH

My drives are mirrored, and I also have an external USB drive. These
work great in case of a drive failure, or is the box itself crashes and
I have a spare box around. But if the DSL goes out, I need to be able
to be up someplace else rather quickly. So, one of these services
would serve as a good alternative.

Unless someone else has a better suggestion? And getting a second DSL
line into the place is not cost effective at this time.

Problems with FC4 and Cyrrus logic GD544x Graphics controller

I don't quite understand... Anaconda is the installation program, right?
running off some mixture of ramfs root file system, and a mounted CD.
Did you patch /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the ramfs? Would yo give away a slight
hint about what you did?

(Not that I think I would be able to help you, I have never had any similar
graphics controller. I just thought you might attract a useful comment or two
if you don't keep the cards so tightly to your chest. This isn't poker, is
it?)

Please tell me that you have another system lying around that you can put
"rpm2cpio" on, then use it to extract the key binaries and libraries for RPM
and install them on your damaged machine. Or seriously consider doing a
clean install on top of it with the installation CD's.

Firefox problem for normal user, but OK for root

You're right that I didn't really want to use gdb. I didn't know that the
--debug option would do that, but I wanted to see what was different
between a normal user and root.

See later in the thread for the true origin of the problem and the fix.

I recommend strongly against directly editing that file for newbies. Most
distributions have a built-in X configuraiton tool. On RedHat and Fedora
recent releases, it is called "system-config-display" and should be run as
the root user in runlevel 1 or runlevel 3.
