Microsoft Word - One user gets "Can't find project or library"

Microsoft Word - One user gets "Can't find project or library"

One user gets "Can't find project or library"

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 02:11 PM PDT

Hi,

I am getting the above error and have read through many of the posts.  When I stop the macro and look under "Tools", "References", there are no references with "Missing" beside them.  So not sure how to track it down at this point.

The macro is an "AutoNew" macro and it stops on the first line of the macro i.e. "Sub AutoNew()"

And it seems to (so far) only happen for one user (although it is not a widely used template).  Runs fine from my PC and from one other user's I have tried it on.

Thanks,

Albert Gostick

Office 365 Word: adding comment crashes program

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 01:18 PM PDT

Hi, 

When ever I try to add a comment to any Word document, whether it's from someone else or a a brand new blank document, the program hangs and I have to restart. Adding to an existing comment from someone else's document seems to be ok. Also the web version of word seems to work ok as well. So it must be Windows 7 specific? I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Office 365 but the problem persists. 

Any help/ideas would be appreciated. 

thanks, 

Mark

"Microsoft Word has Stopped working" have followed all suggestions, no resolution

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 11:26 AM PDT

 This is about "Microosoft office Home & Student 2013" which I purchased when I purchased my new  Dell computer with Windows 8.1 which, by itself I have had no problems with.  MS Office downloaded with no problems, but from the first time I tried to use it have been getting the message " Microsoft Word, (excel, and all other applications from this office) has stopped working.  A problem caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".  Then the program just closes down.  (First of all no one has notified me that a solution is available)  I have been to Microsoft support, this Community, and followed all of their posted suggestions including the links to repair the problem, have uninstalled and re-installed at least six times now and was even given a new product key by the nice salespeople at Office Depot which does not solve the problem - same software same issues. I have Googled the issue and tried all of the suggestions from PC experts found there - still the same message.  Microsoft's idea of support is to charge me $39 for a call on something they created, - I should not have to pay to talk to them about a program I paid over $100 for and doesn't work.  So far I have spent three days and countless hours of my life, trying to fix this.  I really would like to have this program but am going to ask for my money back.  If I had known I wouldn't be able to speak to a support person from Microsoft should an issue like this occur, I would not have bought the program.  I very rarely take the time to write reviews, but I will be going public on this one. 

Hyperlinks inserted into hidden text are not underlined. (Word 2010)

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 10:55 AM PDT

I have a particular paragraph style whose font is blue, italicized, and hidden text. When I insert a hyperlink into a paragraph in this style (using Quick Parts>Field>Hyperlink), the hyperlink text is not underlined on the display. It does, however print with the underline. 

And apparently, because hidden text has a dotted displayed underline that cannot be removed, I cannot even force an underline onto the hyperlink text.

Without an underline to indicate hyperlink placement, users cannot see that that the hyperlink even exists unless they  happen to hover over it. This is not acceptable.

Is there any way to fix this?

VBA MS Word - How do I find a tab that's only at the beginning of a line and replace it with nothing?

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 10:28 AM PDT

I need to take tabs and remove them if they are at the beginning of a line in MS word. I have to do this...a lot. It looks like a battlefield of tab characters.


Example               

I have a script that finds the numbers and makes it pretty. The script just ignores lines when they start with a tab character. I found I'm doing this in many documents that I'm translating to a new format for the company. Any ideas? My guess is that it's simple but I just don't know the VBA vocabulary to do it.

Thanks for your help!

Can a documents text and images auto resize when changing the paper size?

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 09:31 AM PDT

I currently have an 8.5 x 11 size document that contains images, text, tables,etc. I am looking to create a smaller size PDF ( 7 x 8.5). Whenever I go in to modify the paper size the document, the paper size changes but none of the objects within the document will get re-sized. I have been looking around everywhere and have not been able to find a solution. Is there a way to have all of the content in your document auto adjust for the new paper size?

Word 2010 - Saving Macro-Enabled Documents as PDF

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 09:22 AM PDT

Is it possible to get the macros to work correctly once saved as a PDF?  Any suggestions?

Variable Storing in Add-in

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 08:49 AM PDT

I have an add-in that needs to persistently store a few variables between Word "sessions". I would much prefer to do this in one totally encapsulated .dotm; meaning storing of the variables within the add-in file itself. As far as I can figure, my options are to either use document properties or document variables. Since properties can easily be stripped, I decided to use document variables. Everything worked just fine as long as I tested with a .docx. However, upon conversion to .dotm and storing in the Word startup folder, I ran into the problem that the .dotm technically does not get opened as a global template and therefore the document variables don't seem to be available via "ActiveDocument.Variables(...)" when executing some add-in code via the AutoExec macro.

So, here are my questions:

(a) Am I on the right track w/ the use of document variables or would you suggest a different solution?
(b) What's the way to read/write from/to the variables in the .dotm.
(c) It seems to me that the document properties would have the same issue if I would have gone that route.

Thanks for your help.

Word Document path Issue on a server

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Hi I am running Word 2013 on a Windows 7 computer on a server.

When inserting the document file name and path in the footer I have encountered a problem.  Instead of the path reading the actual names

example  \\server\shop\maintenance.docx it reads w\shop\maintenance.docx but the w reference for the drive is only good for my computer other users w is a different drive.  My Assistant has no issues in the 2010 version.

I have tried searching help but to no avail.

Question about using a correctly numbered multilevel list as a Quick Style

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 03:39 AM PDT

Hi,

I write documents that have several headings and several numbered lists under each heading, and I mostly use Quick Style to format my documents.

I need each set of numbered lists under each heading to start at 1, USING QUICK STYLES.

Below is a graphic example of what I want to achieve:

Heading 1

  1. Text 1
  2. Text 2

Heading 2

  1. Text 1
  2. Text 2

To achieve this, here are the steps I tried:

1. Created a multilevel list using Shauna Kelly's instructions online.

2. Tested this list on various blocks of text under each heading; at this stage, they work fine - I can start a list at 1 under each heading.

3. Added this list as a Quick Style to the Quick Style Gallery.

4. Applied this Quick Style to new blocks of content under each heading. This time the numbering continued from the previous list, which is NOT what I want.

What is an exact solution to this problem?

Word 2007 - Using Includetext - moving rest of paragraph onto new Line

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 02:46 AM PDT

Hi all

I'm hoping someone can please help me before I pull my hair out completely - Word is driving me crazy :(

I have created a letter and I want to include some text from another document - which works great - brings over the information I want, albeit in a different font 

My main issue is that when I merge the document, it brings through the 'include text' however, it moves the rest of the paragraph onto another line and I don't know how to stop it.

I've checked the 'Includetext' document for a paragraph break and there is one right at the end but I've read on various sites that you can't delete these but I have no idea if this is what is causing this to happen.

I would be so grateful if anyone can help me with this 

Many thanks

Globally change drop down menu text in Word 2010 document

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 11:51 PM PDT

I have a large table where each line has the same drop down menu with the same choices.  I need to change one word but cannot find direction on how to do so.  There must be a way, I think, as this must be something that regularly occurs.   Otherwise the only option I can think of is to redo the menu and replace all events, but that would mean I would lose record of the choices already selected in each line.   

I really hope someone can advise.... I have scoured the forums, but can't seem to track down this specific instruction.  The Word Help menu leads off onto other tangents.  

Thanks in advance for assistance

Track changes - same user, same computer, still marked on top of each other...

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 11:33 PM PDT

Hi. When I work on a document and track my changes, and then leave the documents and later open again and continue making changes, if I will go to text changed in the first time and change it again, it will mark the new change on top of the former one. For example, if I added text the first time and now delete it in the second time it will show as deleted text. How can I avoid that?

Thanks !

Word 2013 Not saving files to the correct location

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 06:25 PM PDT

When I go to save a document, whether it's one I've created from scratch or one that someone sends to me and I either edit or just save as-is, Word is not opening the file location that I select on the Save As page. 

Basically, here's what happens:

Let's say I want to save "File A" in my "Work Files" folder.  I go to Save As and Work Files is an option on the Recent Locations section.  I double click Work Files and Word opens the current file location, no matter what it is.  Additionally, if it is a new document, instead of using the first line of text as the possible document name, Word pulls the name of the most recent document I saved and tries to save it as that instead.  I've already mistakenly overwritten 2 important files because of this flaw and I cannot figure out why it's doing it or how to fix it.

I have Word 2013 on my work computer and it behaves as it should: opens the selected file location and doesn't use old file names to save new files.  I've gone through the Options on both machines and for the life of me, I can't find any difference in selections that would cause these issues.

Thanks in advance!

(I am using Windows 8 but not in Metro, only desktop, if that matters.  My work computer is Windows 7.)

How search for a math region and switch automatically from one math font to another in all math zones?

Posted: 23 Apr 2014 05:23 PM PDT

My file has a lot of math zones. I used the default math font, Cambria Math. For various appearance reasons I want to switch to XITS Math (a Times New Roman lookalike). It's installed in my system and is a choice under Equation Tools | Design | Tools | Default font for math regions.

The following is still a tedious process after selecting a new default math font. The new font applies right away to new equations, but the previously created math zones retain the old default font.

(1) In a math zone select the contents.

(2) De-zone the contents with Alt+= but keep them selected.

(3) Rezone them with Alt+=.

The new math font will be applied to the current math zone. Is there a way to apply it to all the math zones at once (and not to anything else)?

One problem is that the ability to search for a math zone seems to be missing.

HELP!

WIth further experimentation I see that most settings have been saved.
It's the compatibility settings that seem to be saved per file. I
didn't realize that some of the settings are saved specifically for
each file while the rest apply to all files (new and existing).

Install Frontpage 2003 with a verbose logging switch and post it back to this

Place CD, don't autorun, if it does, then stop it.
Start | Run, cd drive letter:\setup.exe /L*V C:\frontpage.txt

Post the frontpage.txt to the site.

How long ago did you run the Windows installer cleanup utility?? If it was
lately, then you need to call into Support again - the installer cleanup
utility contains an engine that will break your windows installer cached
patches information. Ask for Pro level support instead of Personal support.

I can look at the log file if you can post it to this thread.

Hi, pattiWagen,

Office OEM software is tied to the machine it was installed on, so you may
not move it. Refer to the EULA (End User License Agreement) that you agreed

Applying a different calendar to a task.

Posted: 12 May 2005 04:13 PM PDT

Hi All,

Not quite.
The checkbox is labeled "Scheduling ignores resource calendars" and the
behavior is either only the task calendar plays a role or both task and
resource calendars play.
You cannot have a resource calendar overriding a task calendar; when there
is a task calendar it always plays its part.

theiu-ir conferece call simultaneous. For instance the Ozzy will do his part
ofd the conference call on Fridfay and the Arab will perform his part of the

How do I use calendar days instead of work days for duration?

Posted: 12 May 2005 08:34 AM PDT

Hi cbc87,

You can try a trick that I suggested to another user.

There is a work around using a custom duration field and a custom calendar.
Create a new calendar (Tools>Change Working Time). Copy the project
calendar, name it (I used 7Day) and make Saturdays & Sundays working days.
Then insert a custom duration field ([Duration1] for example) in the task
table. Choose Tools>Customize > Fields and select the [Duration1] field.
Click the Formula... button and use the following formula:

ProjDateDiff([Start],[Finish],"7Day")

In the Customize fields dialog box, click the Use Formula option for the
task and group summary rows.

This will calculate the number of calendar days between the start of the
task and the finish of the task using the 7Day calendar. .

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How do I set up external dependencies in Project?

Posted: 12 May 2005 07:21 AM PDT

External links (i.e., predecessors/successors) to tasks can be entered
similar to internal ones by entering the path and Task Id in the form:

"<URL or path to folder>\<Project>.mpp \<Task Id>" in the Predecessor or
Successor field, either in the Gantt view Entry table or in the Task
Information dialogue window. Normally, everyone is accustomed to only
entering the Task Id, and you can also ommit the URL or path (e.g.,
"<Project>.mpp \<Task Id>") if the project file to be linked to is saved in
the same folder as the current active project.

How can I show Task Date and Time information

Posted: 12 May 2005 05:54 AM PDT

Hi Harry,

If it is one specific project file that you want to show date and time for
all users, regardless of what they have set for options, you will need to
modify the tables in the project to show the date/time format for what ever
views you need.
For each table: View > Table > More Tables. In the More Tables dialog box,
select each table in turn and click Edit.... In the Table Definition dialog
box set the Date Format to one showing date and time.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Dxing5304,
I agree with Jack - VBA will give complete flexibility to export data
for any report you need. However, there may be a couple of alternate
approaches depending on what data you need in the reports.

If you are only dealing with static data (i.e. not timescaled), you can
use an export map to save the data to an Excel spreadsheet. Once in
Excel, the report can be created as necessary. If you need timescaled
data in the report, you could try the utility, "analyze timescaled data
in Excel" found on the analysis toolbar. Again, once the data is in
Excel it can be formatted for a report.

Hope this helps.

import & update actuals

Posted: 11 May 2005 02:32 PM PDT

That's what I was afraid of. I have too many resources posting hours to do
this manually. I was previously combining all time sheets into one Excel
spreadsheet and then importing the actuals based on task id. Is there a way
to do that and import the actuals by date? I do get the breakdown from the
resources of the Monday through Sunday hours that they post. I was summing
those up and bringing in the total but can bring in each day if I need to.

I need to have a way to import instead of manually updating each resources'
time.

Hi Marie,

Glad to know the master calendar view fits your needs and thanks for the

As far as changing the information in the calendar to show resource names;
in the Calendar view, choose Format > Bar Styles. Choose Noncritical from
the Task type list. In the Text area at the bottom of the dialog box, click
in the Fields list, delete Duration, and enter Resource Names.
Repeat for Critical task type.

How to create a 7-day work week?

Posted: 11 May 2005 08:22 AM PDT

Jan gave you the way to do it but that also implies that when someone starts on a task they won't take a day off until it's done. Tasks are generally broken down to the level of the work done by a single resource. If you assign Joe to a task takes 3 weeks, that means he will work three weeks straight without a day off. Is that really what should happen?

I need to create projects with a 7-day work week by default. I am entering a 3 day task which starts on Thursday and should end on Saturday. Instead, Project draws the task from Thurs to Monday. I have gone to the Change Working Time dialog to change individual weekend days to working days but is ridiculous to do over a multi-month project.

How can I make every day a working day?

Suz,
Unfortunately it is not a straightforward process to determine if a file
has auto-run or Event driven macros because they are "private" and will
not show up under "Modules" in the organizer (Tools/Organizer). Neither
will they show up under the Project Explorer. However, normally if there
is a problem with an auto type macro, it will attempt to run but abort
and give an error message different from the one you are getting. At
least that is my experience.

If you can at least launch Project, go to Help/About Microsoft Project.
At the top of the "about" window that appears you will see the complete
version number and whether SR-1 is applied. If the service release is
not indicated, you can still download it from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=24D1DF9A-EE62-4B
8A-8AA6-AF313D0D515D&displaylang=en

If the SR-1 is already present and you only did a basic install, try
adding missing components. Insert your Project 2000 installation CD and
hit the button to install Project 2000. After the "preparing to install"
message you should get a window with three options: Repair Microsoft
Project, Add or Remove Features, and Remove Microsoft Project. Click on
the Add or Remove icon. From here I'm doing a little guessing because my
installation is full so I can't say exactly what you will see, but if
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is not installed, it should be
listed. Select it and any other items relating to VBA and hit "Update
Now". After the install is finished, I would go ahead and re-boot and
then trying opening Project and your files again.

If you still have no luck, open Project and go to Help/Detect and
Repair. That will restore your Project installation to its original
settings. It may help, it may not.

Hopefully one or more of the suggestions offered will be of help. If
not, post again and let us know what happened. Maybe I or one of my
cohorts can come up with additional suggestions.

By the way, you mentioned that you don't really know anything about
Project (gee, there are times I think that about myself so don't feel
bad). What are you doing with Project? Why did you upgrade?

Start-to-Finish dependency between summary task & predecessor

Posted: 11 May 2005 03:36 AM PDT

Or, you might google the NG for linking summary tasks and find out a
whole lot of other reasons why most seasoned schedulers never link
summary tasks.

Change Working Time

Posted: 11 May 2005 01:50 AM PDT

I agree, sort of. My only problem with using the 24 hour calendar as the
Project Calendar is the extreme difference in start and finish dates you see
for tasks before they are assigned to resources versus the start and finish
of the same tasks or tasks with the same duration after they are assigned to
resources. A 24 hour duration task on the 24 hour calendar that start Mon
at 8am will end Tues at 8am. But that same task after being assigned its
resource will end Wed at 5pm. That's a huge difference and IMHO can easily
lead to plans that are extremely misleading when tasks with and tasks
without resources are mixed in the same schedule. I feel one should always
compare apples to apples. Even if we are not actuall;y assigning the
resources to tasks ourselves, they still are going to be worked by somebody
and that somebody most definitely does not work 24/7. Even if the
"resource" is a contractor and we're not worried about how he schedules his
employees, showing the tasks on the 24 hour calendar is very likely to show
them ending far earlier in the project than they really are going to, or
viewed another way, they will show requiring far less elapsed time than they
actually are going to out there in the real world. My mantra for scheduling
is "first and formost, never create illusions that will lead you to think
the plan is more efficient than it really is." If I mix the 24 hour
calendar with others in the plan I suggest going the opposite way, using a
"typical workday" calendar for the project calendar and reserving the 24/7
calendar for those things like machine resources, automated tests, etc, that
need to be scheduled but don't require a human presence to be accomplished
and can truly progress at any hour of the day or night even when there's no
one there.
