Help Editing a Style

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 02:35 PM PDT

I'm at my wit's end and would appreciate any help.  I have a list of styles in Word.  Some of them, when clicked, automatically add text as part of the style.  For example, clicking the style "Note 1" adds indentation and the word "NOTE:" next to the text I'm formatting.  How do edit this automatic text portion of the style?  In the example mentioned above I want to edit the "NOTE:" portion to change case, color, etc..  So far, I have been unable to find out how to edit this part of the style. 

Thanks

Graphics disappeared

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 02:19 PM PDT

I have been editing a series of procedures that have a corporate logo at the top of the first page.  All of a sudden the corporate logos quit showing up in print layout.  They appear when I print or in Full Screen Reading.  It is true with all of them - even those that I worked on yesterday where the logo was visible.  I must have inadvertantly changed something but I can't figure out what.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Well, as long as they pertain to this mystery!

Cannot find most recent version of Word file (used Office Mobile on Android to work on Word file saved on OneDrive)

Why does the spacing before a paragraph/heading disappear on a new page?

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 02:07 PM PDT

It happens no matter it's separated by hard page break, by option "page break before" or just by natural page break; it also doesn't matter what the style of content before these heading is. The before spacing of my heading on second page just disappeared, I find no way to bring it back. And, it only happens starting from 2nd page.

I know there are already a lot of topics about this in the Internet, but all of them were talking about very old version and some of options they mentioned are gone (like "Don't use HTML paragraph auto spacing", "Suppress extra line spacing at top of page", etc.). According to this question, this should be a bug and is supposed to be fixed in Word 2013. How every I still encounter this (showing hard page break):

As you can see I use 34pt before spacing for heading 1 to emphasis.

2 separate multilevel lists in the same document

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 12:32 PM PDT

Help! Please! I'm tired of banging my head on this issue.

I need to figure out how the numbering system works for a type of manual.

I figured out the main multilevel list part that goes like this:

1.0 Heading 1

1.1 Heading 2

1.1a Heading 3

1.1a(1) Heading 4

I am able to recreate this and it works fine.

BUT then there is a separate section at the top for a preface that is numbered differently and does not affect the other list.

The preface is numbered like this:

P.1

P.1a

P.1a.(1)

How do I have those 2 separate multilevel lists in the same document and not have them interfere with each other?

I can't figure it out.

Thanks soooo much for any help.

Office 365 (Excel, Word) hanging problems

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 11:17 AM PDT

I'm running Office 365 and Windows 7 Pro.  I have Avast antivirus up to date, and did a full scan recently.

Both Excel and Word are hanging when I try to open a document.  If I launch the program directly (without double clicking on a document) the splash screen/start page open fine, but when I try to open a document it crashes.

Excel started hanging first.  It worked fine in safe mode (including opening documents), so I disabled the AcrobatPDFMaker Office COM addin addin.  That worked for a couple weeks, but now it is hanging again. ( I have the AnalysisToolPak and Solver Add-ins as well).

Word has also started to hang, initially in a similar manner - i.e., it will open but hang when trying to open documents, but works fine in safe mode.  All addins are disabled.

I tried repairing the installation, but I got an error code when I did so, so I uninstalled it using the Fixit Tool and reinstalled.

Now not only does work hang when trying to open a document, if I click on "options" to see the addins, it hangs there as well.  Safe mode is still fine.

I'm at a loss for what else to try.  Nothing in the Event Viewer seems helpful.

Excel tables pasted into Word 2010 are distorted

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 09:55 AM PDT

When we switched to Office 2010 from Office 2003, we were no longer able to paste Excel charts into Word as before.  If I paste as Picture, the font is overly wide and the letters/numbers run together. It's not legible enough to use in a legal document.  If I paste as bitmap, the image looks blurry and grey/blue, and the file size is large.  With Office 2003 and 2007, the Picture paste looked perfectly clear.  This happens with dual monitors (Windows 7 32bit) and with single monitors (Server 2008 R2).

I have tried via manual feed as well as the default tray and with different orientations. 

Any suggestions?

Word 2010 Spell Check Dysfunctional

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 09:40 AM PDT

I've had a problem for a couple months now with Spell Check on my laptop for Microsoft Word 2010. I don't know how, or why is started, or how to restore it to its previous functionality. I've looked at threads online, but I believe my situation is a bit different. As we know, Word checks spelling and grammar. Currently, Word on my computer is successfully checking and editing grammar mistakes, but not spelling ones. I've attached a screenshot as an example, with misspelt words highlighted. As you can see below, the misspelt words are not underlined in red, but the grammar mistakes do have the green underlining. This problem has me completely flummoxed. Any help with the situation would be greatly appreciated. 

Multilevel list

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 09:20 AM PDT

Hi,

Is there a way I can have a list numbering like

L1.a

L1.b

L2.a

L2.b

L3.a

.

L2.x

L1.c

.

.

.

.

L1.z

It looks so simple and intuitive that I am surprised that it is not included in the library or used as some sort of standard.

I have looked into ListNum fields but either I don't get it or it is not possible.

Anyone?

PS. (L can be any string like a subtitle but a short one, e.g: Section or Par)

Losing links to Excel files in a Word Doc when copying files

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 08:34 AM PDT

Hi 

I am running Windows XP and Office 2007.  I have created a word doc with a link to one excel file. The two documents sit in the same folder.  I gave the files to a colleague on a USB stick, again in the same folder, but when he then tries to open the files on his machine (running Windows 7 and Office 2007) the links are lost.  How can I share these linked documents ? The same thing happens when I back up my data onto another drive.  All the links in the backup files are lost.  Any ideas ???  Thank you for responding.

No Recent Word Documents available when I open Word

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 06:32 AM PDT

My computer has Windows 8.1 with Office 354 installed on it. The problem I am experiencing is that when I open Word 2013 there are no recently opened Word documents displayed.  I have gone to the "File" tab, under "Options," "Advanced" "Display," and set "Show this number of recent documents" to 25. I checked the "Quickly access this number of documents" to 10.

As long as I am on the computer I can open and close Word 2013 and the recent documents will be displayed, including the ones I have "Pinned". When I turn off my computer and go into Word 2013 at the next session, all of the documents are gone including the ones that I have "pinned".  I do not log into Microsoft on startup. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Thank you in advance for your help.

A few days prior to downloading I was advised b a Microsoft technical assistant that I would not need to purchase an additional language pack. However when it came to downloading and installing I am nor sure I clicked the right boxes and now  am finding the MS help pages really confusing. Can anyone help me?

Mail Merge won't print signature

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 06:11 AM PDT

I have this same issue in both Word 2010 and 2013.  I create a letter, select the recipients list, insert the fields where they need to be and then click Finish & Merge > Print Documents.  Everything prints except for my boss's signature which he did using a tablet PC pen.  If I just do a normal print (File > Print), then it prints fine.  Other images print fine.  What I have to do is to instead of using the Finish & Merge > Print Documents, I have to use the Edit Individual Documents.  If it is a large project (3300 records), then this step takes about an hour on my high performance computer and I had to cancel sending the job to the printer after 20 minutes of Not Responding....  So I had to do this in 100 record batches.  I would really like to figure out how to just use the Print Documents option as it can handle 3300 records no problem and is much easier.

I have the following options checked in the Printing options section of Word Options:  

Print drawings created in Word

Convert Manual Numbering 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 to automatic numbering - Word 2007 VBA Macro

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 05:51 AM PDT

Link to the Example File.

I saw a question Doug answered in 2012 and I tried to impliment it but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. I was hoping the community could shed some light in the situation. I'm new to VBA and am trying my darndest but I must acquiesce to my ignorance.

Here's the question I'm refering to:

I'm doing a mass conversion of word documents from one company's layout to another companies layout. During this process I want to keep intigrate the files manually typed out numbering system to the new files automatic numbering system so it makes any revisions in the future easier.

Some numbering exists in the old format so I do the following:
ActiveDocument.Range.

I then want to convert the text numbers (as seen in the attached doc) to an automatic numbering system in the same format. It'd be nice if it put them in their respective levels.

Example:
(manually typed text)
1.0

1.1

1.1.1

1.1.2

1.1.1.1

to

(automatic list formatting)

1.0

     1.1

          1.1.1

          1.1.2

               1.1.1.1

Do you know if this is possible?

Thanks everyone!

Templates in WORD 2013

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 05:34 AM PDT

Recently migrated from Office 2003 to Office 2013 & Windows 7.

In Word 2003 I created a number of templates for the varied purposes of my documents.  I have imported these templates using "Fix It".  When I open a document I am converting to the 2013 format: .docx.  However, the document's Template is still in the 2003 format: .dot

Each file contains the instruction to 'Always Save a Backup'.  After Saving the document as .docx the Backup copy remains as .doc.  I clicked to open the Backup (as a test should I need it in the future) but it cannot open.  Logic tells me that this is because the document's template is still .dot and needs to be converted.

I am happy to convert the Templates but my question is: Can I attach the named template to a number of documents without opening each and every one?

"Control + right arrow" inserts a tab in Word 2010

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 04:08 AM PDT

Microsoft 8 - Cannot open WORD

After buying a new laptop in January 2014,  WORD has been opening successfully allowing work to be completed. However, in the last two weeks Word has tried to load and stopped with a message "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution  is available" It then prompts you to close programme.

I have paid for advise from PC World 'Knowhow' they checked my PC and advised me to refresh my laptop. This I have done, WORD worked for a day then stopped again with the same message appearing. This is very frustrating!!!! How can I rectify this?

document too big in single page view

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 01:49 AM PDT

Hi, I have Word 2007 and Windows 7.

When I open a document, as of yesterday, the single page is too big and the type is bigger than the size 12 in the display box at top left of screen.

The sliding scale at bottom right of screen says 120%.

If I start to slide the pointer to the left, the view changes from single to double page, which is too much of a distraction.

If, using the view button on the ribbon, I then click on 'one page', I get a single page but this time it's too small.

this time the pointer says 73%.

If I slide it to the right I again get two pages.

How do I get 100% size single page, which is the way it used to be before yesterday?

Thank for any help you can give,

Laurence

office 2007 beta outlook problems

Posted: 07 Sep 2006 09:33 AM PDT

Run set-up from your Office download and deselect Outlook. then put in your
Outlook 2003 cd (probably part of Office 2003 and run setup after choosing a
custom install and only selecting Outlook.)

BTW - you have just found one reason to never run beta software on a machine
that holds important/essential/irreplaceable data. It should only be run on
a machine that is used for testing where you have a good ghost image of your
pre-beta installation and are willing to wipe and reload.

you need to uninstall the trial version first and then install the full

I have not tried Detect and Repair. Respondants to the Access ActiveX

Help for Version 5 of the Treeview control works from within Object Browser

I don't know what you use your computer for, so it's hard to make
recommendations that truly apply to you. From my perspective, I don't like
boards with integrated graphics, and I like a lot of expansion slots, so I
personally wouldn't buy this board. On the other hand, it's cheap,
(speaking of price) you can add a better graphics card, later, if you feel
the need, (it has the slots) so you're not risking much. If you don't need
fancy 3d graphics, and don't plan to do major upgrades in the near future,
it just might be your cup of tea. It will, for sure, work with Linux.
NForce chipsets do demand high quality memory, so make sure you have that
in your budget.

I'm assuming that you are planning to have this shop do the installation,
rather than do it yourself. If you're comfortable with these people, and
know that they stand behind their work, and the MB fits your needs, go for

You also state that you know very little about the hardware side of
things. When I bought my first PC, I had to ask which button to push, to
turn it on. Within six months I'd built two. They are no more than a bunch
of plug in parts, like electronic tinker toys. you might want to consider
making this a do it yourself project, just to learn more about the
hardware. It's truly not difficult. The instructions come with the MB, and
the only tool you need is a philips head screw driver. Just a thought. ;-)

Look in /etc/lvm for the configuration settings if you're able to access

However as others pointed already out it might be easier for you
to update/reinstall your complete system with a recent version.

CentOS 4 might be interesting if you look into something with
long patch availability. Or use RHEL 4, CentOS is a clone. You
can certainly do an upgrade install of RHEL 3 -> 4, dunno if this
works with RH 9, but it might, since RHEL 3 is based on RH 9
(iirc). Check www.readhat.com if there's an easy upgrade path
possible for you.

Now comes the "canned" speech about what's wrong with GG posting. It's
offered as a learning tool, to help you get more, and better help, without
upsetting old grouches, like me, in the process. Read it in that spirit.
If you detect a note of anger, or frustration, it's not with you, but
rather with GG, for their crappy implementation of their interface. ;-)

OK, let's start with the basics: Do you know what Usenet is? Do you know
what a News Group is? How about a news server? Click on this link for the
answers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet

Google unfortunately decided not to use the standards of quoting on
Usenet. A quick fix can be read on the following page:

http://www.safalra.com/special/googlegroupsreply/

If you want to get better help and learn more, please read on.

I sympathize with your problems, and am more than willing to help you
solve them. To do so you should follow the correct quoting principles
and good Netiquette explained in this FAQ available at;

http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/

While you are at it, read the whole document and the links provided in
it as well. Lots of good things there.

Due to the bad quoting habits and the amount of drivel coming from
postings done via Google Groups, numerous people have resorted in
kill filing (not reading or responding to) all postings done with Google.
This means fewer knowledgeable people that are able, or willing, to help
you. Proper quoting, and good netiquette, will keep more from doing the
same.

It's not your fault you got sucked into GG's bad habits. It will be your
fault, if you don't act to remedy the situation. Remember this: it's in
your best interest to keep these knowledgeable people happy, by following
a few simple rules. If you don't, you will be the only loser.

To get the best possible result from your postings, it is better to use a
newsreader or Usenet client. Linux has many dedicated news readers, as
well as browsers with built in news readers.

If you're running SUSE Linux, look on your menu, under Internet -->
News, and you'll see which news readers you have installed. If you're
running something else, look for a good newsreader. Don't use an email
program.

Find a Usenet server that you can post to. Your ISP probably has one.
There are also free ones out there, that Google will help you locate.
Type in "Usenet free servers". better yet, use this:

http://tinyurl.com/c45wm

The one your provider has is most likely the better, faster and easier
choice. Set up the news reader of your choice, download the groups
list, type linux in the search box, then subscribe to alt.os.linux. and
alt.os.linux.<your distro> as well as any others that interest you;
comp.os.linux.<whatever> may also prove helpful.

When I see correct quoting from you, instead of what Google has been
forcing you to do, I'll be right there to greet you, and help get you
going. Until then:

I am out of here.

Differing task Types

Posted: 09 May 2005 07:23 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

Not that I'm aware of. It is a task-level setting that Project takes into
account when you change the assignment of resources on that task. Should
you do so, then it could result in a recalculation of all the projects in
your integrated plan depending upon how they're linked. Ditto if you level
resources after making the changes.

A method to have only durations?

Posted: 07 May 2005 12:07 AM PDT

Thank you for the explanation and being patient with me.

Yes, "Elapsed time" is more accurate than "duration" and I will remember
that.
The frustration with this entire process is this:

We simply want to enter a task ID 800 and the "elapsed time", in calendar
days, that the vendor will have site access, because that is written in
their contract--X days. [weekends, holidays, nights do not matter, it's X
days]

Then, as we negotiate with other vendors for their start dates and "elapsed
times", we can easily determine the CP and sequencing. Now we see that task
ID 750 is the previous event and task ID 850 follows this one.

So, we click to link 750 to as the previous event to ID 800, then task ID
850 to follow.

But no matter how we mess around, we can't get ID 800 to simply reflect 10
elapsed days.

But we will try again Monday, using calendar and options.

Thanks again.

Dur. Estimates, Assignments & Leveling question

Posted: 06 May 2005 01:45 PM PDT

FYI, the assignment percentages don't mean quite what you may think they
mean. If a resource is assigned X percentage to a task of Y duration, it
does NOT mean he's only working on the task for that portion of the
duration. If you assign the SME to a 6 hour task at 33.3%, it means he's
physically working on the task over the course of all 6 of those hours but
he's also doing other things at the same time and so is only producing what
he'd get done in 2 hours if he was giving it his full attention. A similar
reasoning applies for the DEV. If you assign both the SME at 33.3% and
the DEV at 66.7% to a 6 hour hour task and then look at the resource usage
view with the timescale expanded to show the hours though the day, you will
not see the SME working 2 hours and the DEV working 4. You'll see them both
working side by side for all 6hours but the SME will be generating 20
minutes of work for each hour on the task (.33 hr) and the DEV generating 40
minutes.

If you really want to show the SME puts in 2 hours and then goes away while
the DEV comes on-board at that point and continues on for 4 more hours, you
need to show it in one of two ways. You can show it with the lesson is a
summary task with one 2-hour subtask under it with the SME assigned at 100%
and a second 4-hour subtask with DEV assigned 100% to it and the two tasks
linked FS. Or you can show the lesson as a single 6-hour task and then use
the split screen to enter the assignments in the bottom Task Form window,
Resource Work formatting, entering the SME assigned 100% and 2 hours of work
and the DEV assigned 100% with 4 hours work AND a 2-hour delay for his work
entered manually as well. This means the SME starts at the beginning of the
task and devotes full attention to it for 2 hours, then the DEV comes on and
devotes full attention to it for the remaining 4. Either of these two
methods will distribute the work correctly, but in choosing which one to use
I'd personally prefer the former. The work itself of the SME and the DEV is
quite different and the SME's work is producing a unique deliverable that is
then handed off the the DEV as input for his work. The DEV's output is
quite different from the SME's output. This quality of the difference in
the nature of the work itself and the uniquness of the deliverables produced
by each resource indicates they are two separate and clearly distinct tasks
and theoretically they could even be done at separate times (the SME writing
up a set of notes and then sending them to the DEV who writes the lesson
later).

As I write the above it occurs to be that I'd expect the DEV to actually
devote all 6 hours of the task's duration to it, an assignment of 100% to a
6-hour task producing 6 man-hours of labour. Whenever I have been
personally been involved in or observed similar work activities, the writer
and the subject matter expert work together at the start of the task to
determine the lesson content, then the SME goes away and the DEV then writes
up the lesson document itself based on the notes he kept during the
conversation with the SME. IF that's the case for you, the most accurate
model of all is to show the lesson as a summary task, with the SME's work a
2-hour subtask and the DEV's work a 6 hour-subtask, both resources assigned
100% to their respective tasks and the two tasks linked SS so they start at
the same time. The summary task's duration will be 6 hours since the two
subtasks occur in parallel and the lesson will require a total of 8
man-hours of work.

As an aside, I'm curious how you can determine in advance the amount of work
each lesson will require and say they are all equal? Have you actually
determined experientially that it requires 6 to 8 man-hours of effort to
write a lesson or is it based on "managment by objective" logic like "We can
only afford for them to take 6 hours to write a lesson and so that's what
they'll have to do it in"? Basing it on historical duration - "In past
projects Joe Writer has produced on average a lesson a day" - seems more
reliable. I'm always leery of precise advance work estimates as opposed to
duration estimates when the output is an intangible (and in your case, while
the typed up lesson is a tangible output, the content of the lesson - the
substance of the work effort itself - is not). And estimates of either work
OR duration for creative endeavors such as writing are never very tidy -
some modules may fly out requiring only a couple of hours to knock off while
others may fester for days before the creative "Ah HAH, that's the way to do
it!" moment occurs.

Urgent: Resources and Linked Projects Problems

Posted: 06 May 2005 11:02 AM PDT

There is a much simpler solution. Create a Resource Pool, a file with
only resources in it. All your resources. Then, link your separate
projects to it. Open each file while the Resource Pool is open. Go into
the schedules and do a "Tools, Resource Sharing, Share Resources".
Leave the default settings and click OK. Do the same for every file you
want to share the Resource Pool.
When you want to create the Master Project, open the Resource Pool. A
dialog box with 3 options will appear - select option 3, "Create Master
Project" (or something like that. I don't have Project on this
computer). Project will then make a composite which will have all the
projects in it, and without the problems you've described.
Best of luck!

Posted: 05 May 2005 11:00 AM PDT

If Project is applying work in the future you';re taking the shortcut of
simply marking a task with X percentage complete without entering actual
work on the dates it occured. Updating the task with % complete using the
toolbar or the "Update Project" tools in the Tools Tracking menu the
percentage assumes the work on the task has been done exactly according to
plan. If it's antythhing else you need to post it the long way by entering
the ACtual Start date for the point in time where the work was first done on
the task and entering the Actual Duration and Remaining Duration fields or
using the Usage View and entering actual work hours on the days where the
work was done.

Overwriting a Plan on Project Server

Posted: 04 May 2005 09:31 PM PDT

Greg --

Your PM screwed up big-time by saving an .mpp copy of his project and then
making revisions to it while team members were submitted progress on that
project. What he should have done is to save the project as an Offline
project (File - Save Offline) and then he would not be facing these
problems. To solve this problem, somebody is going to lose something in the
process. Therefore, I would recommend the following process:

1. The PM should accept all tasks updates into the old version of the
project and ask team members to cease submitting actuals
2. The PM should save and publish the old version of the project
3. You (the PS admin) should delete the project and its accompanying WSS
subweb from the Project Server database
4. The PM should import the new version of the project using Tools -
Enterprise Options - Import Project to Enterprise
5. The PM should publish the project using Collaborate - Publish - All
Information
6. The PM should republish all assignments using Collaborate - Publish -
Republish Assignments with the "Overwrite actual work entered by resources"
option selected
7. The PM should ask his team members to RESUBMIT actuals for all
in-progress tasks, even if they submitted those same actuals in the old
version of the project
8. The PM should promise NEVER to do this again!

Hope this helps.

Leveling Splits Tasks Into Small Pieces

Posted: 04 May 2005 02:52 PM PDT

Leveling doesn't assign resources or change their assignments. All it can
do is delay when some or all of their work on the task will take place in
order to resolve double bookings. It can split the task up when necessary
to resolve overallocation conflicts with a higher priority task in a time
frame shorter than the task duration or you can set it so it will move the
entire task as a block to resolve an overallocation during any part of it.
Joe is booked to task A for 5 days starting Monday. He's also booked to
higher priority 1-day task B on Wednesday, higher priority meaning it's more
important for B to start and finish Wed than it is for A to finish Fri.
Leveling will either split A to free him up on Wednesday, moving the
remainder of A to resume Thursday and finish Monday or it can move the
entire task A to start on Thurs and finish the following Wed. (Using days
for illustration but the principle applies equally to hours as well.)
Anything more sophisticated than that you'll have to resolve by hand.
