Highlighting text too dark in MS Word

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 12:05 PM PDT

We would like to offer the following feedback:

1.  The colors in the regular highlighting text in the "font" menu are too dark, and therefore useless, except for the yellow highlight.

2.  We found out to use lighter color highlighting that we can see, we have to do it through the word art menu.  This then creates an issue when using the regular "font" menu highlighting & the word art highlighting tool in that if text is highlighted using both menus (regular menu "font" and WORD ART) within the same document, one cannot delete or work on the highlighting text unless one is in the proper of the two menus.  This creates the necessity of using two command options to achieve the same purpose.

3.  The color customization is available in other contexts within MS Word, why not this one?

Word wrap not working on Word 2013 (Windows 8)

Downloading Microsoft Office 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 11:18 AM PDT

Hi

I bought Microsoft Office Home and Student on a disc, i try to install it expecting it to be a simple "follow the steps" scenario, but nothing seems to happen. I've made sure there is no previous version of office installed on my computer, I've restarted it taken the disc out, just repeated the process a number of times and nothing happens. When i put the disc in, it comes up with a page asking me whether or not i want to install, so obviously i click yes, it then takes a long time to install and then tells me to reboot my computer for the installation to take effect. Nothing happens. (I've tried this a number of times)

Please help

I have Windows 8.1

Thanks.................

Search for greater than number of characters in Word

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 10:49 AM PDT

Word 2007, 2010, 2013

I have a need to search for text within brackets. I know the wildcard string for that is \[*\]. The \ tells Word to take the bracket as a literal character.

But I don't want to find such items as [sic] [sp] [a.], etc. So I'd just like to find the string that has 4 or more characters within the brackets.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thank you!

Using Legacy Tools and Text Boxes in Word 2010

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:39 AM PDT

I am creating a number of forms that i want to be filled out electronically.  I know the basics of using the legacy tool to create a Text Form Field, and know how to limit the number of characters in the field.  The problem is, when i fill in the form, it pushes all the other text out of position, ruining the rest of the form.  A couple years ago, when i worked at another department, i created similar forms, and I am sure i created text boxes and put a legacy tool text form field inside it in order to avoid the movement of text on the form, but i can't seem to do it now.  Whenever i try to put a text form field in a text box, the legacy tool is greyed out and unaccessible.  I've tried inserting tables, but they are hard to move around and place correctly (especially when i have to place two separate tables on the same line) and it also moves text around.  How do i solve this problem.  I want to create text fields that won't move other text around when typing, but that i can restrict the number of characters entered into the field.  And I want to be able to restrict it so that only the appropriate fields can be accessed by the one filling out the form.

Table formatting issue

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:27 AM PDT

I am working with a rather large document (160+ pages) that is a series of large, preformatted tables.  Tables are generally 4 columns.  First column is pre-filled with a clause number, 2nd column contains a specification that must be met.  The third column is where I enter remarks or comments addressing the specification and the fourth column I complete with a Pass - Fail - N/A verdict.  We use these forms repeatedly in product evaluations.  Often, when testing similar products, it is advantageous to open an older report and copy/paste large sections of remarks & verdicts.  There are large sections where many of the specs are N/A - it's much quicker to copy in bulk rather than enter the results cell by cell - even with macros.

But in my latest report, when I copy information from my sample report and paste it into my new report, the text is being entered indented about 0.25" in the new doc.  Neither the old or new docs have the indents set - Word seems to be helping me all on it's own.  I have checked through the options looking for anything I might change to affect this behavior, but nothing has worked.  I am not looking forward to 150 more pages of adjusting entries.  Anybody have any ideas?

How do you make headings reflect mirrored margins?

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:18 AM PDT

I am formatting this document for publishing with CreateSpace.  The original document I was working with had messed up formatting from converting from older versions.  I decided clear out all the text and graphics and start over.

The headings I'm using have a short vertical line attached to a horizontal line over the text -- I'm guessing it was modified from the "Shaded" document style.

I have mirrored margins.

The original document I worked with had the vertical line was always on the side of the smaller "outside" margin.

The document I have now always has the vertical line on the left hand side.

I have been trying to figure out how to have the heading styles reflect the mirrored margins with no avail.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Autocorrect Microsoft Word not working.

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:57 AM PDT

Hi.  When I type a document in Microsoft Word and misspell a word, Word 2013 doesn't automatically correct the word I'm misspelling.  Nor does a 'squiggly line' appear when it doesn't recognize the word, or, by right clicking on it, offer suggestions to offer the word it thought I meant to type.   (In fact, the message I'm typing NOW- this message, is autocorrecting my typing as I type.)  There are a thousand answers to this question, mostly all are unintelligible.  I was emailed a link which suggested making a new dictionary.  I did this (why would I have to?) but it did nothing.  What I need is a simple step by step guide as to what I should do to make Word autocorrect my misspellings and offer my the squiggly line option, something that every email and message board does.  I went to the box marked 'autocorrect'.  Are there even any words IN the dictionary there?  How do I import a dictionary?  Why would I even HAVE to?  Thanks in advance for any help you might give me.  Until then I'll just switch back to Word 2010. 

how to systematically number items and then make those numbers static

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 05:18 AM PDT

I have to create numbered requirement entries throughout a large document. Initially I increment by 10 so later on if I have to add entries to a section, I can make them sequential but not really necessary. There could be 2000-300 numbered entries in the document but when I'm finished, the numbers must stay staic,  They can not be allowed to change through insertion of new numbers or deletion of existing ones. In a way this is similar to using the copy/drag functionality in excel to create a series of numbers from a formula "= a1+10" and then copying/paste special/values so the results are present and not the formula.

An example is:

VR1  Requirement 1

VR10  Requirement 2

VR20 Requirement 3

Does anyone know if this would be possible in Word 2010, either through existing functionality or through backend VB coding?

Thanks!

VBA Replace Text

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 01:19 AM PDT

I wish to find and replace text in the main part of a Word document. By 'main', I refer to the body of text that excludes headers and footers.

I have used a macro to capture the following code ...

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
   
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "XYZ"
        .Replacement.Text = "Replacement Text"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With

    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

This works OK, but I now wish to include some variations on the text I wish to find. For example "XYZ1", "XYZ Ltd", "X Ltd"

The Replacement text will always be the same.

I could always repeat the 'With Selection.Find' block of code for each variation, but is there a more efficient method of coding this?

The only way to view this error is through Windows Event Viewer, it does not pop up automatically. 

I have tried every fix listed for "Office does not start" threads, reinstall, repair, cmd codes, Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2, etc. The only solution I have come across is to uninstall the update. Any one else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to fix this?

how to set up duplicate sites on a plan

Posted: 04 May 2005 02:31 AM PDT

Hi Sheila,

A way of achieving this is to compress the Project tasks by clicking the
little minus sign in front of its name, so that you have just the one
summary. Now click in the ID cell for that summary to highlight the whole
of the task. Now hold down the Ctrl key, then click in the ID cell again
and drag downward until a grey indicator line appears immediately under the
summary, and let go of the mouse (a bit fiddly but you'll soon get the hang
of it!). That should give you a second copy of the file. Compress this
second project as above. Now click and drag in the ID cells to select both
files. Copy as before to give you 4 copies. This will build exponentially
until you have the required number of copies ( about eight copy procedures).
It's probably quicker to do than to explain! :)

Updating progress

Posted: 03 May 2005 03:58 AM PDT

Hi Paul,

Well, you got me to wondering so I fired up an old computer with Project 98
on it.

I created a project with a start date of 18 April 2005. When I check
Project Information, the Current date is today (3 May 2005) at 8:00 am.
When I set a status date (22 April 2005 ) it shows 5:00 pm.

The only changes I noted quickly between Project 98 with SR-1 and Project
2003 with SP-1 is the Update Project command.

In Project 98 even though I set a Status Date of 22 April 2005, the Update
Project command wanted to update tasks as of the current date (today). This
caused a problem when I used the Reschedule Uncompleted work button off the
tracking toolbar. All incomplete tasks were rescheduled to start today, not
25 April 2005.

The Reschedule uncompleted work to start after portion of the dialog box
defaulted to 8:00 am today in Project 98 and defaulted to the Status Date
and time (5:00 PM) in Project 2003. Personally I find having the manually
change the Update through to the Status date to be much more of an
irritation. My experience has been that frequently PMs are updating
progress as of a date (Status) in the past. They get the information on
progress from their resources on Monday or Tuesday and that progress (or
lack of) is through the Friday night of the previous week.

The only reference I can find to the similarities between the Current Date
and the Status date is that if the Status Date is set to NA, project will
use the current date. From help: "If you set the status date to NA, Project
uses the current date as the status date."

I don't think I have helped any, but I guess I would say this is not a bug -
in my opinion it's more logical. ;-)

Disable automatic calculation on % complete

Posted: 02 May 2005 11:40 PM PDT

Hi Ris,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

Project measures the %Complete based on the number of working periods
completed against the total number of working periods planned. The Duration
is just a measure of the working time between start and finish. Thus
Doration and %Complete are inextricably tied and you can't change one
without the other. (This, perhaps, is a good reason not to track staff
tasks within a project.) However, If you look at the % Work completed, it
could give you what want as it will remain correct irrespective of the end
date, provided the task is of Fixed Work type and changing the end date does
not introduce more or less work. That being said, it is not good practice
ever to insert start and finish dates as that is what Project is for - to
calculate the schedule for you. You enter the precedence link and the
Duration and Project will calculate the dates for you.

Another possibility is to create a hammock task that expands or contracts
with the controlling milestones - please see FAQ Item: 19. Hammock Tasks.

Why doesn't SF relation work ?

Let me make sure I get this straight:
SF (Start to Finish)

I use it to link tasks to a predecessor like an Inspection.
The WBS doesn't necessarily have to be the actual sequence (i.e. This
comes before that, and that comes before the next thing)

So I use SF to link the end of a task to the beiginning a an
"Inspection" task that might actually be ten lines above the successor.

that 'taking the difference between the two values’. I was wondering whether
is that I have to do manually or is there any kind of filter available to do
this?

I am quite interested in trying the simple VBA code which John mentioned.

John, can you please let me know where I can find that code online, or is

Modifying AccountBaseTable

You can use the sp_ReplDropColumn stored procedure to drop a column from a
replicatied table. I have no idea what this might do to any SFO clients that
have already had the column added to them.

Another option is to drop the replication and re-enable it after the desired
changes. Again, I have no idea what this will do with the SFO client.

Company / Contact details available to non CRM users

Posted: 14 Dec 2004 08:41 AM PST

You could definately write your own ASPX pages to retrieve data from the
database directly. As long as you are accesssing the database directly (and not
through the SDK), there is no licensing issue. However, when doing this, you
are bypassing the built-in security of the app and you will need to ensure you
don't pull back logically deleted records.

You should NOT try to update records in this manner though.

There have been some rumors about a potential "portal" type license that may be
available in the near future that would allow you to use SDK calls for this type
of applicaiton.

I guess you have to write some scripts to get the data from the table directly.

I would also want to know whether it will break the license rule if we have
web application access the CRM database directly.

Thanks

The actual document is stored in the DocumentBody text field in that table.

I believed to, but in that table only have the filnename, the filesize and
the mimetype, but the file is not saved in that table. I had moved the file
from one directory to another, and when i open the activity in the browser
and save the file no problem happened. so, the crm keep the files attached in
some another place, i want to know where. Is there someone that knows?

Sales process without any activities...possible??

Michael: One of the things I have found to be beneficial for our internal use
of CRM and for our clients is going through the exercise of defining a sales
process. If you have multiple divisions or product lines/services, this can
get a little complex. But it has been helpful to define a methodology based
on the company's overall philosophy of selling. Usually the goal is to come
up with a broad structure for the sales process/funnel. Of course, the more
broad, the less insightful are the reports.

That being said, I would recommend two things:
1) For the reporting to be meaningful, some parameters of the sales process
will need to be defined. In other words, what stage of a sale makes it 25%
likely to close, what about 50% or 75%? If you let every sales person assign
arbitrary probabilities, you will get arbitrary reports. You might consider
setting up a sales process that has just basic steps like:
A-Initial Conversation
Task: Send prospect email confirming details of conversation
Probability: 10%
B-Proposal
Task: Deliver quote for product
Probability: 20%
C-Negotiate
Task: Send letter confirming negotiated price
Probability: 50%
D-Close
Task: Send contract
Probability: 80%
E-Submit to Operations
Task: Notify project manager of new client
Probability: 98%

This would at least allow you to have more meaningful reports.

2) I would also suggest looking at c360's Forecast Manager (www.c360.com)
This is a great tool for tracking and adjusting opportunities. It allows you
to jump from one sales stage to the next (skipping associated tasks) and
change probability percentages and estimated sales figures from one place.

Good luck.

If someone does send you a 'base' XML, make sure you have the right lanugage
version.
US English is different to International English and the XML files are NOT
compatible.

Account Customization

Yes, we can change ISV.config to add the Left Nav items.
Its the 'web' page that gets shown when you click that button I am after an
example of.

A page that uses the CSS to make it look like the other page shwn for an
Account.

Thanks
