G'day HT,
common glitch,
Stay with good old MSWorks 4.5
(upgrade to 4.5a) ensure you have the Y2K upgrade.

The problem is with your printer driver,
go to the printer's manuf site and download the most up to date

Opening received Word documents

Posted: 04 Feb 2008 12:23 PM PST

The Works Word Processor should be able to open, print and modify most
DOC files. Some advanced Word features may cause problems with some DOC
files. Simply open the word processor and in the File, Open dialog
select DOC files as the File Type, then navigate to the DOC file to
open.

If you just need to open and print the DOC files, the Word Viewer that
Rich mentioned will do that fine and be able to handle the DOC files
that Works can't. But you won't be able to modify the DOC files with
the Viewer program.

Re: I have given up and installed open office.

Welcome aboard....

A lot of us who monitor this newsgroup also use OpenOffice. I started with
version 1.1.4, am using the latest version now.

However, my Works programs still do things for me that neither OpenOffice or
Microsoft Office can do, also it's simplicity is what keeps me using it.

Of course for complex projects I use one of the more powerful programs.

Works 9.0 - document text is squished

Posted: 31 Jan 2008 08:58 PM PST

Your are welcome and thanks for posting back.

Works displays documents based on the default printer. This can cause
some bizarre problems. In some cases, if you have black and white
printer, Works won't display color in a document.

Can't upgrade from Works 9 to Office Pro 2007

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 03:09 PM PST

After creating recovery disks from my computer, I was able to search them and
find the Works9.msi file. I then had to move that file to my local hard drive
and point the Microsoft update to that file. Once the MS update was installed
then Office Pro 2007 recognized MS Works and I was able to install the Office
Pro 2007 upgrade.

Free Embeddable OpenFont licensed font will not embed in Word 2010?

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 03:04 PM PST

I'm trying to format a document to submit to a publishing company, and I have some fonts that need to be embedded in the document for this to be done. I followed the process in Word to embed fonts in this document, but when viewed on my Windows 7 desktop (my laptop is also Windows 7, both have Word 2010) the font shows up as Courier New, or something of that sort. 

The font is called Mate, and it's offered for free by the creator on multiple sites for personal and professional use, and is supposed to be embeddable. I looked in Properties for the file, and it says "Font Embeddability: Installable" which I've looked up and confirmed to mean that it should be installable. The font is a .ttf file, multiple of my other fonts have embedded in the document successfully, but this one does not seem to want to. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm about at my wit's end--I've searched and I can't find another font anywhere that does what I need this font to do for me.

How to eliminate L margin markers

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 01:13 PM PST

Greetings.

These L -shaped margin markers suddenly started showing up on my Word documents, in the print layout view, and I don't know how to eliminate them.

I don't know what these things are actually called, or what function they serve, but they appear in all four corners of the document. In the top right corner, it looks like this: L
In the top left corner, the shape is reversed. At the bottom of the page, the L is upside down.

These objects suddenly appeared after a reboot -- and the system asked me to put my Office disk in the machine. It changed the settings this way, and now I don't know how to get it back to the way it was before.

If anyone knows what these things are or how to get rid of them, please tell me how.

Thanks, Bruce

Word 2003 - Text Box Alignment and Text Alignment

Hello

I'd like to make small text box Flash cards in Word 2003.

1. Is there an easy method to create two pages of text boxes which when printed double sided the boxes align.

2. Is there a quick method  to equally format the text in each text box, Font, Size and center aligned.

3. If it's not possible in Word 2003, what other application would I be to do this in ?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Print preview not working

We have recently deployed office 2013 to staff through office 365. 
Some staff members are experiencing a weird issue with the Office suite in that when they go to print, the preview of the page is off to the right and is very small. Where the Preview Page is supposed to be there seems to be a white page but when you click it it brings up the option to choose your printer. Please Advise.

page size displayed

Posted: 01 Mar 2014 07:19 AM PST

I had a document produced in word 2010 and when I opened it in word 2013 the formatting of the page changed so that the whole page was complete but only say 75% of the page shown in outline.  It is as if there is a page within a page and I cannot get rid of it or return it to its original aspect.  When I print a page it comes out as a full page but only occupies a reduced amount of the A4 page.  When I copy the text and insert it into a new document the page remains the same.  Can anyone tell me how to change or apply settings which will allow the page to be displayed in full as it should be?

Help! My file is corrupted! Unspecified error location part /word/document.xml

Here is my file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/943xwijxagbk7en/Mathass1.docx

If both cards are on the same machine they need the same address or one
needs no address; e.g., if one is PPPoE it will be assigned an address by
the ppp server. In the case of one being a LAN connection (192.168.1.1) and
the other being INET getting IP address via DHCP it may have both
192.168.1.1 and the IP assigned via DHCP.

You can tell the kernel make *config Y instead of M when compiling to have
the modules included in the kernel image.

If anyone has then keep me informed. Also there's plenty of commrcial

Yes I do agree, however the lack of a virtual file does not necessarily mean
anything other then no information is available from the kernel, you might
need to build your own custom kernel for this information to be available.

Have you tried the "Analyze timescaled data in excel" add-in that comes with
Project? It should export what you need to excel and you can then chart
away.

If you want something simpler you can write some VBA code. The following
requires that you have resources assigned to each task and that the resource
has a cost associated with it. If you do not have a resource loaded
schedule, you can simply make a dummy resource with a cost of 1 and assign
it to all tasks. Then baseline the project and run this macro. It exports
into a .csv file that can be opened with excel



MyFile = "c:\" & "HardwareBreakout" & ActiveProject.Name & "_" & Date$ &
".csv"
fnum = FreeFile()
Open MyFile For Output As fnum
mystring = ActiveProject.Name & " " & ActiveProject.LastSaveDate & " " &
Application.UserName
Write #fnum, mystring 'write project info
Write #fnum, ' Write blank line.
jPeriod = 7 'select time reporting period 1 = 1 day, 7 = 1 week
jStart = ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.Start
jEnd = ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.Finish
jStatus = jStart
myBCWS = 0
myACWP = 0

Do While jStatus <= jEnd + jPeriod
ActiveProject.StatusDate = jStatus
'CalculateProject
myBCWS = 0
myACWP = 0
For Each myTask In ActiveProject.Tasks
If (Not myTask Is Nothing) And (Not myTask.summary) Then
myBCWS = myBCWS + myTask.BCWS
myACWP = myACWP + myTask.ACWP
End If
Next myTask

Variance Formula incorporating multiple baselines needed

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 01:45 PM PST

Hi CJ,
I suggest you check for no baseline first using >50000 for Baseline NA and I
think you could simplify the logic by doing that. Also, I use current date
(reporting date) as the compare date. Also, why check for baseline start and
baseline finish. Just one or the other. I check for an active baseline finish
and compare . Whilst I am not checking for multi baselines perhaps use the
following as a guide.(where 0 = no basline, 1 = black (completed), 2 = green,
3= yellow, 4 = Red):
IIf([Baseline Finish]>50000,0,IIf([Baseline Finish]<=([Current Date]-7) And
[% Complete]<100,4,IIf([Baseline Finish]<=[Current Date] And [%
Complete]<100,3,IIf([Baseline Finish]>=[Current Date] And [%

Changing Work and Duration Based on Resource Utilization

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 01:25 PM PST

Hi John
I think you have to decide whether it is a fixed duration, fixed work or
fixed units task.
I tend to plan in duration so set all tasks by default to fixed duration;
and control in work (after I baseline). I don't like fixed units. But you
sound like you want the resource units to remain at 80%, so set the task to
fixed units, and it won't change on you. Its a personal preference thing.
You now are the keeper of the units. If you add the resource at 80% and set
to Fixed Units the first time you add the resource, duration must now alter
(increase) and does to 6.25 days. If you dont like that then reduce the
duration to 5 days and work will decrease to 32 hrs. W=D*U, and something
has to give and it sounds like you don't want it to be the resource.

Task completes before due date

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 12:05 PM PST

Hi KT
Dales sugegstion is excellent. I am going to try that. I was just going to
add that to ensure you show all tasks when you baseline to ensure baseline
and EV data is recorded at the task level, and that cost data is recorded
against each resource.
Also, when rebaselining, tick to rollup to summary boxes.
Of course, you must also key time accurately at the task level and use a
timesheet tool or the Task Usage view to record time.

Realistic Project Resourcing

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 07:37 AM PST

Hi,

When the earliest start date of this additional work allows for it leveling
WILL detect it and schedule it through the dips.
Of course if you have scheduled this addi work to be later (be it by a
constraint or by a dependency) leveling will not make it happen earlier.
When you say we cannot majke the roof before the walls, the fact that the
roofmakers are available does not make any change does it?

Hi

Frontpage is a Microsoft Product which is available for purchase - you can
however, create web pages using Publisher without having Frontpage.

check out
microsoft.public.publisher
for a publisher related newsgroup and
microsoft.public.frontpage.client
for front page questions

Moving large amount of data

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 07:29 AM PST

You get best answers in an Excel newsgroup, but the quick answer is to
select the data, do Edit Copy, then Edit Paste Special, Transpose. But
rmemeber, there are only 256 columns so if you're transposing rows into
columns and columns into rows, you can only have a maximum of 255 rows in
your source data before you run out of room in the target range.

Creating resource pool from multiple project plans

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 05:07 PM PST

Hi Baba
Create the new resource file and share it with the required files files. It
should have no tasks, only resources.
Tools, Share Resources and set to "pool takes precedence" and ensure the
drop down includes the files you intended.
Also ensure that the old files are still not connected by checking both the
respool and the old files i nTools Resoures/Resource Sharing
All calendar setting should be done within this respool file.
This should work fine for what you are doing. I woud password protect the
Respool file, to preclude schedule owners from adding resources themselves.
This should stop most of the problems Mike was mentioning from occurring. The
respool needs to be managed centrally. I also set all calendars in the
respool file. On most occasions there is no need to open the respool file for
update when editing the schedules. This shoud be done weekly by the PM or
administrator.
Regards......Pratta

Why Changing the hours per day in one calendar affects all others?

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 11:01 AM PST

The "hours per day" "hours per week" and "days per month" fields on the
calendar options page does NOT change any of the calendars. I know that
sounds like I'm crazy but none the less it's true. Those settings are
conversion factors used strictly for convenience when you enter or Project
displays durations, to allow you to work with data in your plan without
having to mentally convert everything to hours. Project stores all its data
in minutes. If you enter a task and set its duration to 3 days, Project has
to know how many working hours "3 days" actually stands for. Do you work 8
hours a day so it means 24 working hours or do you work 7 hours a day so it
means 21 working hours? The "hours per day" field on the calendar options
page does exactly that - it tells Project *how many* hours out of the
24-hour day should considered the standard length of the working time. The
calendar, accessed through the Tools menu, tells Project *which* of the
minutes in the day are working time. The "hours per day" should agree with
your Project calendar but setting hours per day DOES NOT change any of the
calendars themselves. Also, hours per day is a global setting so you might
have other calendars with differing numbers of work hours.
