Word 2013, File Save Dialog what does "maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word" option do?

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 03:20 PM PDT

In Word 2013, at the bottom of the File Save dialog I just notice this check box option "maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word".

Exactly what does it do?

Hyperlinks & Bookmarks in an htm (Web Page) document

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 02:57 PM PDT

I produce a lot of .htm documents via Word 2010.

I have an issue whereby I am linking to another .htm file and to a bookmark within the file e.g.

filename.htm#BOOKMARK

If the bookmark is in all CAPS then 2 things invariably happen. When the document is saved:

1) Word automatically inserts a new paragraph after the hyperlink/bookmark.

2) All the text below the hyperlink/bookmark now contains multiple, multiple hyperlinks. If the document is long there can be hundreds of automatically generated hyperlinks for whole paragraphs.

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. Version 14.0.7116.5000 (64 bit) [supplied by the company).

I have searched and searched to see if this has been reported but had no luck.

Guessing the Name

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:04 PM PDT

So I liked the feature on the old Microsft Word (before 2013) that took the first line and used it automatically as the title when you went to save. I noticed that in Word 2013, or at least my edition, it no longer does that, instead taking the name of the last thing you saved or the last thing you opened as the default. Why is that? Is there some kind of switch that I have turned off? Or is it not on the new product? If so, I really hope they make an update to include that, as it was very helpful.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Office 365 suddenly stopped working

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 12:51 PM PDT

I purchased Office 365 University a couple of months ago. It was working fine until today when I tried to open some of my Word documents-they didn't open- nothing happened at all. I tried just opening Word but nothing happens then either. It seems to be same for Excel as well. When I looked in the control panel programs section none of the Office programs were there.

Add mergefield switch to AddressBlock for Word 2010 merge

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I like using the AddressBlock for merging, but having the problem with the leading zero dropping in the zip code.  Is it possible to insert the switch to force the formatting of the zip? {Mergefield Zip \#"0000"}

Where would it be added?  I don't quite understand where the field name <<_Postal_>> is defined to be able to make this change.

Word 2013 freezes for ~5 secs on save with message "Uploading to OneDrive"

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I'm running into an annoying problem where every time I save a Word 2013 document, Word hangs for about 5 to 10 seconds with the message "Uploading to OneDrive" on that status bar.  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro and the document is saved locally to my SkyDrive/OneDrive folder.  I would expect that the SkyDrive/OneDrive sync would save these files to the cloud but instead it looks like the Microsoft Office Upload Center app is doing it instead.  I *think* that what's happening is that Microsoft Office Upload Center is blocking Word 2013 from running while it uploads to the cloud.

It also appears that Word 2013 thinks it's opening the OneDrive version of the file rather than the file that's living on my local disk even though the file in my Skydrive folder says "available offline". 

Is there any way to tell Word 2013 to open and save the local file *only* and tell Microsoft Office Upload Center to chill out and take a break?  Basically, I want the Windows 8.1 SkyDrive/OneDrive process to do the uploading to the cloud when it gets around to it rather than MOUC's immediate upload.

If it helps, I get and install my version of Word 2013 (and the rest of Office) via my Office 365 subscription.

Thanks,

-Ben 

Service status failed

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 09:07 AM PDT

Microsoft 2007 Diagnostics tells me the Service Status in Components failed. What can I do about this?

<Service Status="Failed" Name="cmdagent"/>

I use Vista SP2 from Office Home and Student

It may or may not be associated with the following:

When I try to open a document with a double click it says it can't find it, but I can open it within Word.

Ic an't get a print dialogue box even though the prineter is said to be connected and ready and the standalone photocopying by the printer works (HP Photosmart 5520).

The problems followed a malicious attaqck, which I think has been disposed of.

Issue with Win 8 vs Office 365 after Win update

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 06:19 AM PDT

Windows 8 installed a "Critical Update"yesterday. Now none of my Office 365 programs are woking. They don't open at all, so noe erros message even appear. I restored my sstem to before this critical update and it was working fine. The restored agian to a resotre point I'd created before starting this process (i.e. AFTER the update) and the problem persists.

Multi-level list style for bullets

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 05:20 AM PDT

The rule for stable multi-level list styles has always been to assign a paragraph style to each level of the list, a rule that I have always followed when developing templates. However, I'm wondering if it really is still necessary. Here is the scenario that prompted this train of heretical thinking.

I need to create a template that has 4 numbered heading levels where each level of text is indented so that the number aligns with the start of the text of the previous level. So far nice and simple. Here is where it gets awkward. After each level I need to be able to insert a bulleted list. The bulleted list may, in turn, have up to 3 levels as pictured below in a rough example I knocked up.

So my question is:

Do I really need to create List Bullet 6 - List Bullet 12 or could I get away with creating 4 list styles with just one paragraph style attached at level 1 and then have the list style apply the further levels? Or would this, as I suspect, lead to instability?

Thanks

Office 2013 doesn't work

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 03:07 AM PDT

Hi,

suddenly my Office 2013 had stopped working without any reason. Now when I try to open one of its programs, I see this message: "A problem is happened. It was not possible to start the program. Please try again". It happens not only with Word, but with any Office program.

I tried many times but it just doesn't work.

What do I have to do?

Copy and paste HELP

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:30 AM PDT

I can't copy one document into another exactly from the source document: it automatically switches Times to Calibri and I cant change it without messing up the different font sizes I did, which is crucial for my 63-page document (the file needs to be put together with other files to form one file). I have tried everything I could find online on how to copy without changing format (which I'm really not sure what that means).

The file (A) that I need to copy is in "normal", Times 12pt with MANY parts of it in 10pt. The new file (B) is in "no spacing", Times 12pt. Both files with 1.5 spacing. When I paste, it changes it automatically to Calibri 11pt and if I try "no formatting", even though the boldfaced and italicised words are kept, my 10pt parts change to 12pt and this is not good. So I need to copy A exactly as is into B and I cannot do it and it is really upsetting me. PLEASE HELP!!!

Can I "set back" (recreate) a word document that is only saved on a USB to a particular date and time?

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:25 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm probably a lost case, but I need to ask anyways. Three days ago I renamed a manuscript file that I was working on, and only saved it on my desktop. The old version became a kind of "trash document" where I left all the stuff that I could not use. After this, my work computer had to be completely reinstalled, and everything got deleted beyond repair (IT experts have looked into that). However, I still have the "trash document" that I saved on a USB.

My question is, is there ANY way to ask this "trash document" to go back to how it was three days ago? I only have it on my stick and it can unfortunately not be linked to the word program on the computer anymore. It only exists on the USB.

I think I know the answer - however, as I'm expected to defend my thesis soon and this was part of my thesis work, this is of course a nightmare scenario for me. I appreciate all answers.

Thanks,

Linda

PS- Yes, I KNOW about backing up. There are several small things that all added up to this, and it's also happening in the midst of a very stressful life situation in general, which is why this happened.

Can't find Microsoft Office programs in Windows Apps

Posted: 22 Mar 2014 10:48 PM PDT

So I bought Word, power point, one note and excel.

A few months after that, I started getting problems with my computer (caused by another product) and I was forced to reset my entire laptop. After I reset it, I saw I could still open my word and powerpoint documents without a problem. They worked fine and still do but for some reason they don't appear as apps when I search for them using Windows 8, except for Onenote. 

How can I fix this?

Word 2010 - Changing Settings

Posted: 22 Mar 2014 04:47 PM PDT

I must have unknowingly changed something in the settings, all of a sudden when I create documents in Word 2010, in addition to the document printing, another page prints out w/Filename, directory, template, title, subject, author, keywords, comments, creation date, change number, last saved on, last saved by, total editing time, last printed on, as of last complete printing, etc.

I do NOT need and more so WANT this printing out, especially using up my ink, expensive labels, for home use, etc. How do I change the settings to STOP this from printing?

Thanks

Office 2007 Maintenance Wizard

Posted: 29 Jun 2006 06:13 AM PDT

Hi Martin,

MS Office 2007 has a different installation method and tool set for deployment than prior versions.

The Office Network Installation Point (O-NIP) replaced the Office Admin Point. The Office Admin Point was a special extraction
structure created by the Setup /A switch, but it worked only with a volume license/eneterprise key for Office.

At least through beta 2, anyone can create and use an O-NIP, as it's basically the CD image of the Office 2007 product. If you have
the Office 2007 beta 2 software on CD, just copy the CD to a new folder on your drive/server. If you have multiple Office 2007
products (i.e. Office Professional, OneNote, Visio, Project) rather than having a separate Office Admin Point for each product, you
can copy all of the CDs into one O-NIP.

If you downloaded the compressed 2007 MS Office system Professional Edition (.exe) file you can extract the CD image from it to
create an O-NIP using these steps.

1. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note the folder/path location.


2. Create a new folder on your PC or server and note that
folder/path location. This will be your Office 2007
Network Installation Point (O-NIP)


3. Use Start=>Run , and on a single line type in
the following (using the path & file names from Step 1 & 2)


"drive:\Step1PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.e xe" /extract:"Step2path"


example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named Off2007ProB2NIP) the Start=>Run line would look
like this


"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"E:\Off2007ProB2NIP"


If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes)

4. In your new ONIP create a new, empty folder for your customization files. Name it what ever you like, for example
\OfficeTweaks

5. Once you have your O-NIP run the Office 2007 Setup.exe file from Start=>Run using the full path to it on your O-NIP and adding
the /Admin switch to create your customization files.

Example:
"E:\Off2007ProB2NIP\Setup.exe" /Admin

This starts the Office Customization Tool (OCT)that is built into the Office 2007 setup.exe program. You no longer install
separately and use the Office Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard.

Once you're in the 2007-OCT you create .MSP (MS Installer Patch) files to hold your customizations and store them in the
customization folder you created in step 4.

To deploy Office 2007 product(s) you can copy a specific set of customizations to the \Update folder of your O-NIP (already part of
the initial setup) and then Run Office Setup.exe (don't install directly from the .MSI files) and any .MSP in the \Updates folder is
automatically included in the setup steps.

For more details and methods you can use the Office 2007 Resource Kit (beta) at http://officebeta.iponet.net/ork/2007 (note that to
access the site you would need to have an installed MS Office 2007 product or the Active X control installed that you can get from
the link below).

In your scenario, keep in mind that not providing Access as an installed feature from a Professional Edition Office package does not
convert it to a 'standard edition' copy/license. Once MS Office 2007 is released you may want to review the editions you choose to
license for different needs.

Problem with office 2007 installation

Posted: 28 Jun 2006 12:19 PM PDT

Ignore did nothing......

The installation would freeze and do nothing (I let it sit for over 40
minutes)

I eventually canceled the installation (and restore failed).

The only way I was able to correct this was to completely uninstall office
2003 and then reinstall office 2007.

This is great info but one follow up question, once I have my O-NIP all set,
can use the .msi file in there to deploy office via GPO? If I do create a
cutomization file (.msp) do all install have to be done locally or is there
a network wide deployment method (IE: cna I use Group Policy to deploy a
customized instance?).

Sorry I missed one thing you said. The shortcut bar should definitely be

alphabetically when you expand Office Tools as "Microsoft Office Shortcut
Bar", just before "Microsoft Photo Editor".

You'd have to get the DHCP router to hand out fixed addresses (based

Notice that these tools all query a name server - possibly that of your

A lot depends on how you are setting up the network. Unruh suggests
setting the router to provide static addresses, and putting hostnames
in the host files (/etc/hosts on Linux, on XP, it is PROBABLY in
C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\HOSTS (not HOSTS.SAM). In both cases,
you want the IP address, followed by the FULL name and optionally the
short name (192.168.1.1 jeanluc.picard jeanluc). Your DHCP server may
be defining the name (as opposed to the system defining it). In SuSE,
the name is set from the /etc/rc.conf file. You _may_ be able to set
the DHCP server to act as a DNS server.

I chcecked that kbd-config is ok. Keyboard hangs up when i use 2.6

So i'm now searching linux with eagle-usb packet and 2.4 kernel.
Anyone knows any? :)

configuring DHCP and NFS - need an opinion

dhclient (as example) will permanently retry to obtain a lease after

No need; use ifplugd (again as example) to check for link presence; it in
turn starts dhclient that tries to obtain address; and dhclient may
optionally start a user-defined script after it obtained a lease. It is
useful for services that do not retry (like ntpd - I use it to restart
because otherwise it fails to resolve server names and drops them).
 

Exactly.

FC4: CD Not Found - The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 08:36 AM PST

I had missed the .dicsinfo file in the CDROM which tells about the
Fedora install directories(thanks to rodrigo from the anaconda dev list
for this info). Thanks Nico your approach worked on reducing no of
compare factors, and last i needed a CD :)

For more details for this look at cdinstall.c from the anaconda source

usb drives no longer mount after usb ext3 mount

Posted: 15 Jan 2006 11:27 PM PST

An update:

I found that the linux ext3 disk in ths usb enclosure had come loose.
That is what caused at least some of the problems. After reseating
the drive, it auto-mounted and I got more stuff off.

But I'm still having trouble with regular vfat drives mounting
at all. The system hangs when logged in a root as well
as a normal user.

It did work once under root. It creates fstab entries as
/dev/usbdisk and mounts the device, not via a label,
so I don't think labels are the problem.

Help: Fiefox wont resume ftp downloading (partial) 2.6 GB file

I believe that you have an issue calculating the offset, but it may not
be in in the client. Just because the server can deliver a file > 2GB
doesn't mean it knows how to do the math correctly to set the offset to
continue. 

See the "-c" option of wget, it describes resuming a download started
with another client. I don't know if wget is using 64bit access, I
believe it is because I downloaded a DVD, but didn't resume the D/L.

This is a common approach: I dislike it because I find the "rm -rf /"
accident to be a far more common way to mess up a system than hardware
failures.

Instead I find it very helpful to do something like this:

[ Build partitions on second disk with necessary partition names changed
for mirrored disk. ]

mount /dev/[spare-root-partition] /mnt/secondroot
rsync -aHx -delete / /mnt/secondroot
remount -o ro /mnt/secondroot

[ Repeat as necessary for other partitions. ]
[ Set up a cron job to do the mirroring nightly during idle time. ]
[ Set up a second cron job for dumping live databases to local files
first, so those get copied correctly too. ]

That leaves your old filesystem copied, read-only, in an immediately
accessible location for recovering lost files. You may lose a day's recent
updates, but you have a copy of the far more likely lost files from
yesterday.

Brian,

Yes we are using the Enterprise version. As we share the administrator role,
we are not clear as to the steps required to add the 24 hour calendar in the
Global. We assume that it is done in the Organizer, but we do not have the
option in the Calendar tab to add the 24 hour calendar. All we see in this
tab is the Standard calendar. Could you list the steps to take to add the 24

Task Constraints

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 10:17 AM PDT

I assume the idea here is to insure the task will finish the same day it
starts regardless of what day that happens to be. There's no way to use a
constraint to do that - you can say "Start No Later Than 15 Apr at 9am" but
you can't "Always Start Before 9am" by using constraints. The work around
is to create a calendar that show hours of work from, say, 07:59 to 08:59.
Insert a task with 1 minute duration and put it in the middle of the link
between the task you need to start before 9 and its predecessor. Set your 1
hour calendar to be that task's task calendar. Now regardless of when the
predecessor ends, the pseudo task can only happen between 7:59 and 8:59am
and the one you're trying to control will follow immediately after.

"Arunmozhi B" <microsoft.com> wrote:
 


Arun,
Selecting the entire task (extreme left column) does copy all the
information but, if you then go to Edit/Paste Special, the Paste Link
option is greyed out, meaning that the end result will be a simple paste
with no link. The Paste Link option will only be active when a single
cell or group of cells on a task line is copied. So you ask, how about
if I drag select the whole task row starting with the Task Name? Yes,
this will allow a Paste Link, but you don't want to do that because now
you enter into the realm of asking for link corruption or circular
calculations. I've been there and done that. Take my word for it, this
approach would be a BAD idea.

As far as seeing (or needing to see) different data depending on whether
the user is looking at the master file level or subproject level, that
can be handled using various combinations of customized views, filters
and sorting. Remember that I said the subprojects do not actually become
part of the master. That also means that cusomized views, etc. are
independent of those same views in the subprojects. In other words, a
given Gantt Chart view in subproject doesn't have to look the same as
the Gantt Chart view when that same subproject is viewed in the master.

Hope this helps.

customize 'resource names' column to restrict to the value list

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 08:31 AM PDT

Hi Ange,

Now for the good news.
I've never known why the option says ... and tasks.
Even when it is off, you can add taks as before.
Do mind, you can still add resources as well, but when you will enter an
unknown soldier in the Resource Names column you will get a warning message
nd you can refuse it.

Notes function for collaboration and export

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 07:35 AM PDT

Thank you for the response. I just started using Project so I'm not very
familiar with all the functions. For the first question, I know I need a
Project Server to do collaboration. After that, can each individual user can
go in and input text in the Notes section or is Project Manager the only
person who can input text into Notes?

Thanks.

You have 10 StartX/FinishX fields plus the vacant user definable date fields
to grab for whatever purpose you need as well. What on earth do you need so
many start and finish fields for anyway? There's really only about three
sets of start/finish dates that matter much - when the task was scheduled to
take place, when the actual performance of tasks in the chain ahead of the
task in question has pushed or pulled its schedule as you did the work on
them, and when the task actually started and ended when you did the work on
it.

How can I have multiple resource pools?

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 02:31 AM PDT

Wouldn't materials be specific to the instant project? While you can't have
more than one resource pool, you can have a one resource pool plus
additional resources in this project. I don't understand needing a resource
pool file for expenses since those aren't resources at all - expenses are
the money you have to pay for the labour and material resources. Expenses
like per diem I suggest tracking as a material resource used up over the
course of the applicable tasks. Expenses such as rents or travel I suggest
tracking in Excel and dropping the totals into the fixed cost fields in
Project for the tasks or summaries that use them, perhaps using linking so
they update automatically. I can't stress too strongly - don't try to use
Project for your project's financial accounting, it's simply not designed to
do that. Its cost tracking is geared towards estimating the project budget
and monitoring performance against that budget and it is by no means
sufficiently detailed, comprehensive, or accurate enough to track the actual
financial performance. That's what you have accounting software for. For
instance, in the real world it is not uncommon to have overtime hours begin
at time-and-a-half and then at some point double-time kicks in. Yet Project
only allows for 1 overtime rate.

How do I change the size of the indent in Project?

Posted: 06 Apr 2005 07:07 PM PDT

I thought there was too... but I can't find it. I might have done this in
the past using a calculated field and outline level. Set a formula for a
text field which inserts a number of spaces depending on outline level then
concatenate this and the name field in another field. Finally display the
other text field instead of the name. There are a number of other ways to do
this using VBA.

Resource Calendar not working in project tasks

Posted: 06 Apr 2005 01:43 PM PDT

It's very easy to inadvertantly change the hours for just one day rather
than all Fridays. Check the resource calendar and make sure every Friday is
marked non-working. Also, if this resource is one of several assigned to
the task the others can be scheduled for Friday even if this guy isn't.
Finally, double click on the task id number and view the advanced tab of the
task information sheet. If there's a task calendar assigned to it, make
sure the "task calendar overrides resource calendar" checkbox is clear.
