Cross-reference Words Disappear

Posted: 04 May 2014 01:16 PM PDT

Hi. I have Windows 7 and Word 2010. When I try to create a cross-reference I:

1. Highlight the word

2. Open the Cross-reference dialog box

3. Set Reference type to Bookmark

4. Set Insert reference to to Bookmark Text

5. Check Insert as hyperlink

6. Choose the bookmark under For which bookmarks

7. Click Insert and Close

Then . . .the highlighted word disappears. What am I doing wrong?

Microsoft Word Paragraph Mark - Justification Breaks Words Between Lines Randomly

Posted: 04 May 2014 12:48 PM PDT

Working on a shared document that was returned to me.  The other computer reformatted all the paragraphs and made the paragraph's sentences break at random points, mid-word between lines.  I can't find a way to reformat and create a normal paragraph line break between words or at a hyphenation point.

The only apparent fix is, with Display, Show All Formatting Marks on, to Cut and Paste another paragraph mark from another "clean" document over the top of the bad paragraph mark.  The document is quite long so this isn't a great option.  I've tried numerous things in Justification, Hyphenation, Compatibility, Layout and Paragraph without success.  Attached is example of the problem with the text of the Gettysburg Address pasted into the "bad" document.

Font and alignment changes appying to whole document, not just the highlighted part

Posted: 04 May 2014 11:00 AM PDT

I am trying to create an ad with a title in 18 pt text, centered, underlined, followed by a description in 14 pt, justified left, followed by my contact information.  Then, I might like a pithy statement under all of it,centered in italics.

I typed the whole thing first and then highlighted the lines I wanted to change.

WHAT I AM GETTING:  THE WHOLE DOCUMENT CHANGES

SOME OF THE TIME.

but not all the time.

Clearly, I have more control in this forum, than I do in a word document.  How do I change only the part I highlight, without effecting the rest of it?

Unwanted spacing between paragraphs

Posted: 04 May 2014 10:15 AM PDT

Hey

I have the same problem for the last 10 years. Yes yes yes. I agree it is annoying. Please understand this.

I am writing a paragraph of 10 lines. When i type the first sentence and let us say that it now goes to the  next line, WORD automatically (!) creates 2 (!) spaces between that line and the next one. I want only one space betweeen lines. Very frustrating that I have no control. I want 1 space between lines, not 2 , not 3.

Could you please explain in simple terms.. i have no idea what the terms you used to describe how to solve it.  I turn on my computer and I type. Please be specific like, it is a blue thing at 9 o'clock etc...

Thanks

Lance

macro to enter a character on a mouse click

Posted: 04 May 2014 07:56 AM PDT

Would it be hard to write a macro to enter a character into the document every time you clicked the mouse, and a double click would exit?

I have no experience writing macros for Word, but it would be:

EnterOnClick(Char)

DO UNTIL double-click

  On single click: enter Char wherever the cursor now is,

Bug in MS Word 2010 regarding Folder Naming and "Save As" command

Posted: 04 May 2014 02:30 AM PDT

I have discovered a bug in MS Word. It may apply to other programs as well. Here it is: 


If a folder is named, "ABC; abc" (that's not the real name, but the form) the F12, "Save As" function does not work.  If I open a file located in a folder in which there is a semi-colon, that messed up Word's ability to locate the folder.  So when I press "F12" it will not open the folder in which the file is stored, but another folder.  How it chooses this folder, I don't understand and so if one unknowingly simply saves it, it will be located in an unrelated folder.

This is a bug because there is nothing that says that you can't use a semi-colon in folder name.  I have added semi-colons dozens if not hundreds of times and now I see this has caused me a lot of problems. This bug should be addressed by Microsoft.

Posted: 04 May 2014 01:26 AM PDT

Please help!

I updated my laptop two days ago, I hate doing this as whenever I do something goes wrong...... I updated and hey presto....

I try to open Word, nothing.  Keep getting a note saying 'cannot open file, try again later. It says to fix in settings or go online.

cannot fix in settings so I go online.

I see a similar problem and the solution is to uninstall and reinstall office, so I do. All this seems to go smoothly until I try to find my newly installed word, nothing, no word, office or powerpoint.

I have no idea what to do, all I wanted was to type up some notes from work and ive spent an hour simply trying to open it.

Thank you

Hyperlinks not working. Problem related to Default program

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:34 PM PDT

I get a 

Sorry, Page not Found

message every time I click on a hyperlink I have created in Word. These seems to be related to default programs as I get a momentary popup of OPenOffice. In fact I trace this problem back to the same time I temporarily changed the default opening program for wordprocessing files to OpenOffice.

I've reset Word as the default program(Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs) but still get this behaviour. (only with hyperlinks it seems - not with opening regular documents). I have of course, tried restarting. 
Ps the hyperlinks work fine if I copy and paste them into my browser as my temporary workaround


Persistent pop-up in Word

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:50 PM PDT

Each time I start Word or open a Word document, a box pops up with the following:  "The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language support.  When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls. ............ This error usually occurs because of macro security settings.  If you know that the macro comes from a source that you trust, you can change your macro security settings to allow you to enable the macro."   It takes several taps to clear the message each time.  Is there a way to get this message to stop popping up?

Thanks.

HP computers (only?) rejecting userforms

Posted: 03 May 2014 09:27 PM PDT

write a lot of Word VBA add-ins and they use a lot of userforms. I think userforms are very cool and my clients pretty much all agree.

 

Over the years I've come across a few (very few) PCs that rejected userforms. Any add-in containing even the simplest userform would fail to load properly. Most often this threw the generic "compile error" but occasionally it was "object could not be loaded." Removing all the userforms made the add-in usable (but ever so dull). By process of elimination I confirmed it was any specific userform causing the issue. Even a blank one, with no others, would cause the error.

 

Today I found another such PC, and I've finally figured out the common thread. All of the PCs that rejected userform-containing add-ins were made by Hewlett-Packard.

 

Whaaa? Has anyone else ever seen this pattern? Is it possible, let alone kosher, for a manufacturer to omit such a basic capability from its OEM installation, thus removing the benefit of a core element of the VBA experience?

 

More to the point, do HP machines lack some magical DLL that could be identified and resupplied, enabling their Office installations to work as intended?

 

(I say 'Office,' having not yet verified whether this happens with Office programs other than Word. Seems like it'd be even more shocking if it didn't.)

Thanks for any insights.

Cut and Paste - 8.1

Posted: 03 May 2014 05:19 PM PDT

I just made the (forced) jump, finally, from my beloved XP to 8.1 on a new laptop. I agree with a few others 8.1 is not intuitive!  I am gradually figuring it out, but I write and have found that I cannot cut and paste from the books in my Kindle library (as I could easily with XP).  With XP, the text transferred with all copyright data. I am using Microsoft Office 2010. From a website, no problems (yet though I see many people having that problem).  No problem with text from Word file to Word file.  I am not an IT person.  I'm just an old guy who uses software. Could anyone tell me how to fix it in regular English?

Re-install Office Professional Edition 2003

You don't have to reinstall Works. When the Office 2003
installer prompts that it can't find a qualifying product, swap
the Office 2003 CD and Works CD, point the installer to the CD
drive and let it see the Works CD, and then swap CDs again when
prompted.

Office 97 won't Install - error: Cannot find SHELL.DLL

Posted: 18 Oct 2006 12:51 PM PDT

The problem is that you are trying to install a 16-bit product on a
predominately 32-bit system.
SHELL.DLL is a 16-bit shared library used pre-Windows XP (e.g., Windows 95,
98, ...).

First, you need to determine if the DLL (or DLLs) are registered in the
Windows Registry.
16-bit DLLS do not register using regsvr32, they use regsvr16. So you will
have to locate that app.
If I recall, it is also on the installation CD you have for Office 97.
Search for regsvr16.exe or regsvr16.ex_ (in case it is compressed).

Once it's registered, you may have to determine if C:\Windows\System is in
the search Path of Windows XP.
Try running 'set' (without quotes) from a CMD window and see if
C:\Windows\System is in the PATH environment variable.

Keep in mind, SHELL.DLL may not be you only file not found problem. You may
run into other DLLs not installed or registered, and even if you get it
installed, Office 97 may not work with all the dependencies on 16-bit
support DLLs and files.

The Office 97 Proofing Tools CD is a rare find nowadays. The
good(?) news is that you now have an excuse to upgrade to an
English-language version of Office 2003, which includes proofing
tools for English, French, and Spanish without having to purchase
anything extra.

Yes, uninstall the "trial version" of S & T 2003 before attempting to
install Office XP of any edition. As G-n-O stated, S & T XP is only
authorized to be installed and activated on one computer. You will need two
copies to install on two computers.

They basically, switched them. In my opinion, as a developer, they should
have left FrontPage and left Publisher as a standalone and create a Office

You can do that by setting your timescale to weeks instead of days.

Tomcat,
Rod's suggestion will certainly do what you requested but I offer a
caution. It would be nice to know the reason you want to delete tasks
with a 1 day Duration. I can think of a few scenarios where 1 day tasks
are significant and relevant to a project plan. Deleting them outright
may not be the best approach.

Is project 2k3 server overkill for a medium sized company?

Posted: 20 May 2005 11:23 AM PDT

Understood Rod, and thanks.

Issues associated with publishing can likely be covered through training.
As a second step, it might be wise to push the project to MIS/OPs folks
first, and let them guarantee security and rights before posting.

Now for installation and configuration: on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is
expert, our companies MIS/OPs group would rate a 4.5. Given the scalability
and complexity of the Project server, SharePoint and SQL combo, my guess is
that we should hook up with a consultant type post purchase.

Many thanks to you

Steven

How to make Project to adjust task according to resource availabil

Posted: 20 May 2005 08:34 AM PDT

Excellent hint, at least some flexibility! And I would say, “you can select
specific RESOURCE (not task) to level”. Project allows to clear leveling for
specific tasks, so I’ll try to use combination of both.

Appreciate everyone’s help.

Removing resource with unfinished tasks

Posted: 20 May 2005 07:40 AM PDT

Hi Dan,
These results may be correct if you changed, for example, the task duration
while the task type was set to "fixed work" (while the %Complete was already
50% for ex). The resource Jim L is assigned full time during some days and
part time the other days.
When you *replace* Jim L by Dan, Ms Project replace Jim L only on the
remaining work, may be at part time.
So after the replacement, the assignments are : Jim L [100%];Dan [50%]

Hope this helps,

But when I click OK to dismiss the message another message pops up

I don't want to delete any work done on the project. How can I just

best task type to use in Project 2002 - fixed duration or units

Posted: 20 May 2005 03:31 AM PDT

There is no such thing as a "best setting" for task type. The task type is
a switch you use when editing work assignments so when you change one of the
Work, Duration, or Units variables, Project will recalculate the proper
other variable in the triad. As such, the task type setting for a given
task might change many times as you refine your plan dependong just what
term you're changing and why you're changing it in this particular edit.

Example: I have Joe Painter assigned to paint a room. He works an 8 hour
day, is assigned 100% to the task, and we estimate it will take 5 days to do
the painting. Work = Duration * Units - always, it's Project's Prime
Directive and you can never, ever, have a task that violates it. So his
100% committment to 40 hours (5 days) of painting means that task requires
40 man-hours of effort. Now we're about to edit his work assignment to 50%.
When we do, we have to ask ourselves just why we're doing that. Is it
because we need him free'ed up some of each day to do some other work
elsewhere at the same time the room is being painted? If that's the case,
the painting will still require the same number of man-hours of effort but
the duration it takes to do that will be twice as long. Make the task Fixed
Work, change the Units and Project recalculates the duration and sets it to
10 days. Or the other alternative is we have realized it's actually only a
20 man-hour task but we don't need it done any sooner than 5 days
none-the-less. While usually you'd want to get it done ASAP, let's say for
some reason this time we want to leave it at 5 days. So set the task type
to Fixed Duration, edit the Units, and this time Project will recalculate
Work and set it to 20 man-hours, or even more logical, set the work to the
required 20 man-hours and Project tells us we only need the painter at 50%
committment so he can do other stuff part of the time.

The identity Work = Duration * Units is just like any other linear equation
Y=mX+b. Its terms include a constant, an independent variable, and a
dependent variable. You can pick any of the 3 terms and make it the
constant by way of choosing the task type, take your pick one of the
remaining two terms and edit it, making it the independent variable, and
Project will recalculate the third, dependent variable, term for you.

I think Brian's explanation is most likely. Three other possibilities I can
think of:
1 - corrupted file
2 - virtual memory shortage
3 - bar style definitions

Regarding #3, is it possible that your bar style definitions are causing you
to see the baseline instead of the current plan? In that case, if the
schedule has slipped, the lag bars would run past the apparent finish date.

Cheers Julie,

That's useful info.

Just a thought:
Would it be possible for MSP to link into people's Outlook calendars,
extract the information and then display it in various forms. A simple
display of availability would be desirable obviously! Or is this just asking

Resource group

Hi Sheila,

Yes, you can put Max. Units to 500, which means five people are allocated to
the project.
But this is not a reply to your original question, I quote:
"that "group" should include the usual resources."
Well, it doesn't include other resources. It's just 5 units of a resource,
that's all.
Hence my reply that a resource including other resources is not possible.

Resource pools help put resoruces in common between multiple projects.
Look for help on Resource Sharing.

Import of Custom Fields

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 01:07 PM PST

On the CRM server open the Deployment Manager and click on the Schema Manager
node to expand it. Select the entity that you want to extend and expand it.
Underneath the entity (such as Account) right click on the Attributes node
and select New Schema field. From there you can define the custom field.
Beware the SQL row size limit - especially on the Contact entity.

When you are done, you can add the fields in the web UI system
customization... Then publish your changes from the Deployment Manager and do
an iisreset from the cmd prompt on the CRM server.

If you use the DMF to import your data, you will first initialize the CDF
database which will scan and recognize custom fields.

While this can be calculated allright, we would still be interested to find
out if there are any ISV's out there who have made a solution for incentives
for personnel. A well designed solution with Incentive/Commissions plans can
really add that much more value/punch to this solution. I also buy Don
Peppers idea that it is an important facilitator for easy and early adaption
of the solution by the intended users in the company.

I request the CRM community and microsoft to please let us know at the

Actually, there is an undocumented feature that will allow you to do this. You
can add "slugs" to the activities by using the following type of syntax:
&account.name;

This would put in the Name of the account. The field names are case sensitive
and are the same names that are returned in the associated views (in your case,
the quote view).

Thanks for your answer but it gives me another problem I mentioned before.
I make a quote from the account to get in all the address fields. If I put
in the address fields by using lookup I have the problem that it doesn't fill
all fields. In fact I added a field housenumber in both the accountsections
billto and shipto. I used an existing field postofficebox for it. I also made
the mappings.
So if I do what you suggest I have the right contact in the qoute but I am
missing some important data in the account fields. Or do you know how to
solve that problem?

Concern with SQL database size

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 08:41 PM PST

I would agree. Also, you are talking about a few records that can't be deleted.
How many disabled users & business Units are expected to be in the system? Even
over time, this number would be what, a few hundred? That would accound for a
few MB of storage, not exactly something to be concerned about in the big
picture.

If you run into problems with space on the SQL server, it will be due to other
tables that may contain hundred's of thousands or several million rows.

this type of issue is relevant to any SQL Server installation and so reading
