Microsoft Word - Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Microsoft Word - Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Change Default "Save As" Format for Existing Documents

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 05:39 PM PDT

Is it possible to change the default format in the drop down box of the "Save As" dialog when using "Save As", as opposed to just "Save"? Word is clever enough to detect the kind of document it is trying to "Save As" and chooses the appropriate type. However, I want to force Word to always "save as" a specific format. Again, this is for an existing document that one would copy using the "Save As" command.

Thank you

word 2013 saving autorecover file is very slow

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 04:44 PM PDT

Hi,

Not so much a problem as a solution.  I had been working with a large document for a long time and noticed that the process of AutoSaving the recovery file was starting to takes minutes to complete, and was starting to interfere with document editing. 

Some web research reminded me of problems with temp file clutter and so I ran the Windows disk cleanup utility, which found and removed 6GB of clutter, including temp file directories.  Autosave is now pretty much instantaneous. 

The reason why this became a problem for me is that the computer is only a year or so old, running Windows 8 (upgraded to 8.1 and then Update1) and so I didn't think that a. it had been running for long enough to generate such clutter and b. that the clean-up would not be running automatically.   Still, easy to fix if that's the problem.

Trouble with resume template

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 04:41 PM PDT

When using the Word resume template, I keep making errors and can't 'go back.'  If I backspace too far, I remove the bullet I need and can't put one back in.   When I type in the box opposite Summary, my paragraph shows up above the word 'Summary' Because of this I can't use the template, because I can't fix these things.

How can I add a "textless" entry to the Navigation Pane?

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 04:38 PM PDT

I'm writing a book, and I want to have an entry in the Navigation Pane for the primary organizational elements of the book. I'm using styles, of course, so this generally happens automatically, but I'd also like to have an entry in the Navigation Pane for the book's dedication page. I want the entry to say "Dedication", but there will be no text in the book with this word in it. I considered using white text on a white background so it'd be invisible, but I'm concerned that that will lead to problems when the book is published in various digital formats; I don't want searches for the text "dedication" to match anything, nor do I want the word "dedication" to show up if a reader sets the background color to something other than white.

What I'm essentially looking for is a way to bookmark the dedication page and to give the bookmark a name that will show up in the Navigation Pane. Is there a way to achieve this effect?

Thanks.

Flood fill page number field

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 02:47 PM PDT

I have Office 2007 on a computer running Windows 7 SP2.  I have recently learned how to create my own headers since Word 2007 doesn't have any like how I want my headers to look.  Now I'm looking to see if anyone can tell me how to create a page number field that is a solid color with white numbers.  The colored page number field itself will be .4 high by .8 wide.  The numbers are formatted Ariel, size 20, and bold.  This is what I want the page numbers to end up looking like:

MS Word and the Navigation tab for writing scenes?

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 02:30 PM PDT

I've had an issue with MS Word for years.  I've never purchased it because of this issue, and I know many writers such as myself who are in the same position.

I write in scenes, and I really want to use the Naviation panel of Word 2013. I select my heading styles and highlight the scene titles and I see a nice 'tree' outline visual in the Navigation panel for managing my book.

However, when one reads or prints the final word document, you don't want to see the scene titles - they are only for a writer to organize his structure. Obviously, this needs to be hidden. When I change the style's font - to make it "hidden" as someone suggested, stupidly the scene title in the navigation panel also becomes hidden as well. 

I want to smash my head against the wall.  How could such a all-encompassing writing tool be so absolutely useless when it comes to writing novels in scenes?

Is there a REAL solution to this?  Or does Microsoft put up a middle finger to all of us novel writers, and we simple can't have a book navigation capabilities without having our scene titles scattered across our final book output?

Table borders shift randomly

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 01:45 PM PDT

Hello!  I frequently use tables within my Word documents.  (I use Word 2010.)  Recently I started having a strange problem.  The borders don't line up on the right hand side of the table.  They are staggered from cell to cell.  I manually fix them so they are all lined up again, save the document, reopen the document and the borders go right back to being staggered.  I can't figure out why this is happening when it has never happened before.  It doesn't just happen within one document either.  EVERY document that I use tables in is now doing this.  I'm guessing that I accidentally changed a setting somewhere, but I can't figure out for the life of me what it is.  I'd really appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.  Thanks!

Spurious vertical lines in tables

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 01:02 PM PDT

I get, from time to time, vertical lines in table columns. In one case now, the line is 1/2 inch from the left table border, and goes down, breaks up, and then continues an inch later and continues to the bottom of the table. These lines can occur in other pages too, in the same table.

I can usually get rid of them by doing I don't know what, but now, I am stuck, in spite of saving and opening the file again.

I do not know what these vertical lies are, how/why they appear. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Table in Mail Merge

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 10:57 AM PDT

I am doing a mail merge from Excel 2007 to Word 2007. My Word doc has a table in it that looks like this:

                     Merge Field 1                 Merge Field 2                 Merge Field 3                  Merge Field 4

Program 1

Program 2

Program 3

Program 4

My Excel source is such that not every employee will have participated in every program, however, when they do participate in a program, every merge field will be filled in. For example, John Smith participated in Programs 1, 2, and 4. All four merge fields for these three programs will be filled in. I would like the merge to have a condition IF statements in it to say something to the effect of:

IF Merge Field 1 is blank (which will only happen if they did not participate in the program), then delete that row in my table.

So in the example, John Smith's table would only have 3 rows.

Is there a way to accomplish this without using VBA? Thanks for any and all help.

Printing 2 pages per sheet issue

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:24 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013, Win 8. I have used the feature many times in the past but recently the margins are screwed up. They are set at .5" left, right, top & bottom. I design the pages in full letter size then print 2 pages per sheet. Again, I have done this so many times before without issue. NOW, when I print it gives 1 3/4" margin at the bottom only. All other margins appear .5. The print preview doesn't show the margin change....

Stop MS Word Grammar Check from making ridiculous suggestions

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:24 AM PDT

Example

Staff is its own pleural

ie

They are my Staff

or

this is a member of my Staff

there is no such word as 'Staffs' in this context the only time that plural applies is to a physical length of wood like Robin Hood and Little John used to use in Merrie old England a very old english idiom.

when I write a document which states "Staff who receive" I get a little wobbly green line under the phrase and when I right click I get the options

1. "Staffs who receive"

2. "Staff who receives"

Option 1 cannot be grammatically correct under any circumstances it has to be staffs which receive or staffs that receive as in "the quarter staffs that (or which) recieve a great deal of punishment during their use".

I find this is happening with a lot of phrases in Microsoft Word and find that this kind of grammatical nonsense is creeping into documents produced by persons who speak english as a second language (and by persons who just couldn't be bothered to learn to spell or learn their english at school). This often corrupts the meaning intended by the person writing the document.

When I am writing a document I find it highly irritating seing these little green wobblys under phrases I know are correct

Is there any way of stopping these wierd anomalies in the grammar checker without actually switching the facility off?

In Find or Search and Replace, is it possible to find "quoted" but not "not quoted"

Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:49 AM PDT

I always have strange questions. I want to find the word 'quoted' when it is not paired with 'not'. For example a way to put that in Find so that the phrase: 

We are quoted as saying... is brought up, but NOT the phrase:

She is not quoted directly...

**These are just examples, not necessarily what I really want to find.**

I've tried to decipher the wildcards, or regular expressions, but that stuff is all nonsense to me and I can't figure if what I want is possible. Any help or ideas?

"Show bookmarks" doesn't display gray square brackets

Posted: 16 Jun 2014 06:05 PM PDT

I know that gray square brackets can be displayed for bookmarks (cross-references).

 

"Show bookmarks" under "Show document content" on Advanced dialogue is clicked. There are many cross-references in the document, but somehow those square brackets don't show up.

 

I don't think this matters, but "Always" for "Field shading" under "Show document content" on Advanced dialogue is selected.

 

Is there anything else I have to click.

 

I use MS Word 2010, but I've tried this with MS Word 2007 at home as well, but no luck.

How to edit initrd.img in FC5

Posted: 24 Jun 2006 01:27 AM PDT

Thanks ! that worked ..
but one thing, that took lot of my time -
cpio by default compresses files into an 'old binary format'
however initrd images nedded by fc5 kernels are compresses using the
'newc' format

that means you can incompresses the initrd , modify it, then
recompress,
but if you do not explicitly mention the 'newc' format duing
compression , the kernel will hang after loading itself and not budge
any further.---

(no! no! ) find | cpio --create > /boot/initrd_new.img (Wont ! work !)
find | cpio --create --format=newc > /boot/initrd_new.img (Will work

old HD now put in as a removable disk. What puzzles me is that before
being supplanted by the bigger new disk, 'hdd' had the same three parti-
tions as the new 'hdb'. Yet only 'hdd1', which is the '/boot' partition,
is as expected, and readable. There was one difference between 'hdd' and
'hdb': in 'hdd' the sequence was /boot, /, swap, rather than the sequence
in 'hdb' of /boot, swap, /. I wonder if that could be a contributing
factor.

Where does cftmon.exe come from if not from MS Office?

Posted: 16 Jan 2007 07:01 AM PST

You say: cftmon.exe
The MS file is ctfmon.exe
Is that a typo?

Re,

Good idea from MS. So I could never use this evaluation version.
I need Infopath 2007, witch not included in french Professionel or

Did someone here has a link to download infopath 2007, or an enterprise

Thanks.

I'm somewhere between the purists and the infidels. The methods
mentioned will add slack, but probably at some peril in most cases. I
like to create overall project slack by putting in what's called a
"buffer" in Critical Chain scheduling, "UEWS" (Unexpected Events Within
Scope) by the person that taught it to me long before there was
Critical Chain scheduling. At the end of the project, right before the
Finish milestone, put in a task called UEWS. Estimate it's duration
based on experience, level of uncertainty, etc. It's just like putting
contingency money in the budget. That's why some call it "Schedule
Contingency". Then, the name of the game is to decrease the UEWS as the
rest of the project slips, trying to finish the project before you run
out of UEWS.
Done this way, it doesn't really show up as total slack in the
schedule, but as an additional critical task at the end of the
schedule. Nonetheless, it acts as slack. Once I started doing this, I
seldom overran a schedule.
The purists might have a fit about doing this, which I've never
understood. One of the more significant goals of doing PM in the first
place is to finish on time most of the time. Any tool short of out and
out lieing that helps me bring in my projects on time is valid.
Best of luck finding what works best in your world.

Project Characterised by Major Ambiguity and Uncertainty

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 09:28 AM PDT

I've got a problem with that approach in that you have no way of knowing if
you're on the right track or not viz-a-viz your organization's buiness
objectives and strategy. It almost seems like you're trying to say you
define the project's outcomes on how much work you can afford to devote to
new development instead of deciding what you should develop and whether it
fits into the company's long term strategy. Work drives the schedule when
you know what it is you want toi accomplish. But it sounds like you're
saying "we can afford to do 500 hours of work, what could we do with it?"
letting the affordable work define the objective and calling that a project.
HOW to accomplish an objective may very well be a moving target in
innovative endeavors, that's why a phased apporach to scheduling can be a
good idea. But it seems to me that clearly defining the objective itself -
in concrete, quantifiable, objective terms - and making a go/no-go decision
based on whether it contributes to the long term strategy of the firm simply
must be a prelude to anthing else. (Just because you can do something it
doesn't mean you should do it.)

Earned value and project management deliverables

Jan M. <microsoft.com> wrote:
Jan,
Responses to your followup questions are as follows: 
You're welcome 
Month by month LOE tasks may or may not be considered "recurring". It's
kind of a matter of interpretation. Let's say the project needs a PM for
all of 2005 (i.e. Jan 3 through Dec 30). This particular PM effort has
no specific deliverables so the whole year"s effort is considered LOE. I
would set up a series of tasks, one each month, with perhaps the Task
Names of: "Perform PM support for Jan", "Perform PM support for Feb",
etc. Are those recurring tasks, yeah, probably so. Whether the tasks are
planned using the recurring task function of Project or whether they are
entered discretely is a matter of user choice. 
After thinking more about my answer on this, LOE does NOT necessarily
need to be level loaded. Normally it would be but perhaps there is more
intensive LOE activity toward the beginning or end of a month and less
in the middle. In this case, a contour could be applied but I'm not sure
that it matters a whole lot because if the task is LOE, taking "credit"
is automatic and since status is on a monthly basis, it doesn't really
matter that more hours were actually accrued in the first and last week
of the month. Another scenario could however be that on a particular
project there is more PM activity during certain months (e.g. preparing
for quarterly reviews). In that case, resource loading need not be the
same for all months in the year. Each month is loaded flat but months
are not loaded the same. 
Once again I was a little to hasty in my response. For LOE tasks, SPI is
guaranteed to always be "1", but CPI is not. (We actually had a case
where one of our support activities had a ballooning positive CPI. Their
support was planned as LOE but no one actually worked on the task. It
wasn't discovered for a few months because their piece of the program
was overshadowed by activities with much larger budgets. Obviously we
had to re-think and re-plan their whole support activity in light of the
fact that a significant portion of their "budget" had been "blown").

For LOE tasks SPI is guaranteed to be "1" because "credit" is given for
simply existing (e.g. the PM was at work and therefore supported the
program this month), hence BCWP is always equal to BCWS. In our system,
all performers, except those under LOE, reported status. Tasks covered
by LOE were automatically credited by the system - no user statusing
required.

Hopefully, this clarifies some things.

MSP Scheduling durations

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 01:44 AM PDT

The duration of a task is the number of working time units according to the
calendar governing the task between start and finish. Operative werm there
is "working time units". If a fulltime employee who is scheduled for 8
hours a day is assigned a task tarting Mon at 8 and ending Mon at 5, he'll
be on that task for 8 of his working time hours between start and end. If a
part-time employee who is scheduled for 4 hours a day works on a task that
starts Mon at 8am and ends Tue at 5pm, he too is on that task for 8 of his
working time hours. The durations of the two tasks are both identical - 8
hours are required to produce the deliverable - even though their elapsed
times are very different.

How can duration be set for calendar days?

Posted: 14 Jul 2005 04:41 PM PDT

Julie has given you a good workaround to dispay task elapsed times. By al
means use it for reports, etc, if that's what more senior management wants
to see but when developing the actual plan try to resist the temptation to
use elapsed time in lieu of duration. Duration is that portion of the
elapsed time where work can take place Assuming the standard calendar,
that's why the duratiuon of a task beginning Wednesday and ending the
following Tuesday is 5 days and not 7. According to the calendar no work
will happen, no progress achieved on Sat or Sun. So when you look at a task
that can begin Monday and will take 10 days of work to complete, your finish
date will be 10 working days plus how ever many nonworking days intervene
down the line. To develop an accurate schedule you really have to drop the
dates where work doesn't happen from the overall elapsed time.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response. I kind of figured that was the case. It amazes me

It depends on what you want to migrate. If you simply want the
contacts just export those from the ACT! Export option. If you want
activities, notes, opps then you need to do something else

BCM migration will work on some ACT 6 databases but not others - one
worked find, another hung after processing about 5% of the records.

Another option is to use Goldmine. You can download Goldmine trial
version and import the ACT! data into that making sure you use SQL
Server for the Goldmine database and then use DTS to extract the data
out of SQL into the CDF database. However, Goldmine does change the
data structure but this might be good enough

We are currently looking at Export Pro which exports ACT into Access.
See http://www.nwoods.com/ACT/exportpro.htm which at $279 is
relatively cheap.

New Callout Model in V2.0 - Feedback Requested

Matt,

You can do an async postcallout by simply running your processing in a
separate thread i.e. in the postcallout start a new thread and do the
processing in that - the UI is not held up this way. This is useful if
the processing is relatively simple and the overhead of using a queue
would be overkill.

However, there are times when I want the postcallout to be part of the
transaction. The example I have is in quote/order detail where I pull
back details from the selected product into the quote/order detail e.g
cost price and calculate margin - the users expect to see this on the
refresh. Perhaps doing this processing in a pre-callout but
effectively still have the same problem in performance as just moving
where the custom processing happens

What do you use for monitoring & backup for CRM?

Posted: 16 Feb 2005 06:45 AM PST

A few other comments...

First of all, unless you have a second data center that is completely integrated
with your infrastrucutre, you will never get even close to 5 9's. You need an
extremely expensive infrastructure to hit this.

One important item the other 2 forgot to mention is to make sure you are backing
up your AD catalog. The DB backups are almomst worthless from a recovery
standpoint without the AD backups.

If you have your DB's configured for Full recovery, you need to ensure that you
are also running Log backups. Otherwise, your log files will continue to grow.
They do not reclaim their space when Full backups are done.

The DB server is your biggest point of failure. If you are truly concerned
about recovery in the event of a failure of the machine, you need to basically
have a pretty solid plan in place. I've heard of a few different approaches to
this:

1) Have a second server that is the same config that is basically turned off.
In the event of a failure, the backup server can be swapped into place, restore
and go. Key is for the server to have the same machine name as the original.
You could also explore the ability to swap the drives in the RAID from one to
the other, but not sure how well that works.

2) Simlar to the first approach, but a key difference is the use of a SAN device
to house the database files. This eliminate the need to do a restore after
swapping out the chassis.

If you are not using SFO, then you can also "choose" to disable replication and
then implement a clustered DB. The issue with "support" on a clustered DB is
related to the offline synch process with SFO.

Question to everyone:

i know that when your CRM setup is in a development or demo environment
there's not much backup or monitoring going on. But, what do you use when
it's in a production environment?

How do you make sure it approaches "five nines" availability? Do you use
service monitoring or just plain old SNMP traps? How do you back it up? _DO_
you back it up?

I'd be interested in your comments and replies. I think it'd be an
interesting thread.

I'll start:
If I ran the network, I'd probably use WhatsUp FT from Ipswitch to do the
monitoring, and Backup Exec with addons to do the backup.
Since I don't run my network, the current setup is "no monitoring, backup
every so often" using a program I've never heard of.
