Microsoft Word - Bullets always default to Calibri; bullet indentation problems

Microsoft Word - Bullets always default to Calibri; bullet indentation problems

Bullets always default to Calibri; bullet indentation problems

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 03:01 PM PDT

Hi there,

Iin Word 2010, I changed my default font to Garamond, but in bullets only, it always defaults to Calibri.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Also, when I type bullets into a document, sometimes, the indentation isn't what I want. Instead, I want it to match something higher up in my document, so I copy the format of the higher-up text and try to paint it onto the bullets below, but nothing happens. Can anyone tell me how to fix that?

Many thanks,

SS

Restarting a multilevel lists at 1 disassociates that paragraph from the defined mulilevel list style

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 01:50 PM PDT

I've search the questions and responses, but can't seem to find the issue I'm having with multilevel list styles.

I'm using Word 2013 and have defined a four-level multilevel style and associated each level with a Heading style. Within the sections defined by the headings, I want to have multilevel steps, so I've defined a second multilevel list style with two levels and associated each level with a style (List number and List Letter). I want to restart this second list multiple times, within the sections defined by the Headings.

For instance, win section 2.3 I have steps

1

2

  a.

  b.

3.

4.

5

  a.

  b.

Within section 2.3.2 I want also want steps numbered in the same way, beginning with step 1. So, I put my cursor on what I want to be step 1 in section 2.3.2, right-click, and select "Restart at 1." This works like a charm for the second list. The trouble comes when I go to the next section, 2.3.3 and start another list of steps. When I restart at 1, that List Number paragraph changes to 1. However, what should be 2 continues numbering from the steps in 2.3.2. When I open the Multilevel List dialog, I see number 1 is no longer associated with the list style.

The second level (alphas) are just fine because they restart after the first level, no matter what its value.

How should I be defining the lists for the steps? I've tried selecting all the steps and reapplying the List style, but the same thing occurs: when I Restart at 1, that paragraph becomes its own list and the rest of the steps continue from the previous list of steps.

I'd appreciate any insight.

Missing cross reference caption in Word 2010

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 01:18 PM PDT

I am working on a long word 2010 document (400 pages), and have multiple appendix pages at the end of the document. In order to cross reference the appendix pages within the document I created a new caption label named 'appendix', labelled each appendix, and cross referenced successfully.

On returning to the document to do more cross referencing, the 'appendix' caption label no longer appears.

Please can you advise on how I can solve this problem so that I can continue cross referencing the existing appendix pages, and add more appendix pages.

Thanks

Mail Merge Table shifting outside document margin.

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 12:50 PM PDT

I using the MergeTools Add-in create by Doug Robbins to create a Mail Merge document which lists the details of their commission for a specific period. In the document template, I create a table with three rows (header,merge data, total). The number of rows per individual varies depending on the number of rows I have in the data source.

The issue I seem to be having is when I execute the Many to One merge, the table begins to expand outside the margins of the document 1/3 the way through creating all the documents and by the last document, the first and last columns of the table are outside the document print area.

Has any encountered this and know a fix? I have tried playing with the table properties and is currently set for Autofit Window but still encountering the same problem.  

VBA to Retain the content of some Word Form fields while clearing the content of all remaining Form fields

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 10:57 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have a protected Word Form that contains a variety of form fields. The document is storing project information.

 

At the one year anniversary, most of the entries in the fields need to be reevaluated and thus blanked out, but some of the field entries should remain unchanged.

 

The fields that have data that will be kept unchanged have Bookmarks.  Those Bookmarks are used in some instances to pass the contents of a field to other areas in the document via Cross References.  In other instances, those Bookmarks are used in Macros to pass the contents of the field to another field.

 

Part 1 of my question –Is it possible to keep the entries of the fields that will be unchanged while at the same time clearing the entries of those fields that need be changed?  For example I would like to keep the contents of the fields whose Bookmarks are "ProjectNumber" and "StartDate", but I would like to clear all the remaining fields.

 

Part 2 of my question – If this is possible, is the coding different for Text vs Drop-Down vs Check Box form fields?

 

Part 3 of my question – Will the cross references created from the "ProjectNumber" and StartDate" bookmarks still reflect their original data or will I need to do some coding for that?

 

Thank you

Numbering and naming the chapters

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 10:56 AM PDT

Hi, I am able to have numbering style in my document like this 1 / 1.1 / 1.1.1, but I would like to have the highest level of the chapter named in this way:

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

(so the name of the chapter on a new line)

And then classic

1.1 Goals of the work

Contents would be then

1 Introduction

1.1 Goals of the work

Is there any way how to make this automatically with the settings of the numbered list?

Thanks for answers.

Table Caption and "cont."

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 09:32 AM PDT

I have a number of tables in this Word document and some expand onto to two or three pages. I am using the caption feature in Word 2010. When a table expands to additional pages and I am not using the caption feature, I add "cont." to the table title (which is the first row of the table) in a text box. When the table falls onto the next page, the "cont" is there. Anyway to do this using the caption feature? I am using the capture feature so that I can generate a list of tables and don't want to miss a table. Can I do it all - use the caption feature, put "cont" for large tables, and still be able to capture the table in a list of tables?

Thanks.

Making Logic for Drop Down Lists

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 07:28 AM PDT

I have been trying to make a drop down list using content controls that has several different options. One of the options is "Other" and when someone selects that option, I would like a text box to appear next to the drop down list, but ONLY when the "Other" option is selected. I've been able to make a drop down list and I know how to use the content controls, I'm just curious if anyone knows how to make the option "Other" trigger a rich text box to appear?

My Question:

How do I setup the template to save the date it was made and turn off the auto update option?

Reasons:

I am write a lot of letters from my office from a template and save them to disk for reference purposes, given same I also have a receipt template that I use and save the receipts to the disk, where if need be to see the receipts if we need to reprint for clients, I would like to be able to reopen these documents and have the date created saved. For the life of me I cannot find any answers with regards to this problem and I hope that I can find someone who can help.

How can I attach a PDF file to a Word document?

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 06:20 AM PDT

I am wanting to attach a PDF file to a Word document (2007), say for instance, if someone else opens my word document on a different computer, they can then open the PDF file from inside the word document. The PDF is about 20 pages long.

I have tried the hyperlink option, and have attached the pdf to it, but when I open the word document on another computer apart from my own, the pdf will not open.

Is there an option whereby I can attach the pdf as an icon and when this icon is pressed the pdf will open?

Does anyone have any suggestions, or can this just not be done in MS word 2007 or MS word completely?

Graphics displaying twice on page

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 05:50 AM PDT

I have a document with a lot of tables and figures and text boxes.  The problem is with the text boxes. The text boxes contain a small one row table with a graphic, text in the second column and additional text in the third column. In Print Preview, I see the text boxes just as they should be. When I actually print the page, the contents of the text box is repeated without the frame on the page again. I have tried different settings without any luck. Any ideas what could be going on? There are MANY of these in the document.

What files to preserve

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 05:39 AM PDT

Good Morning,

My company is finally moving slowly to a more modern PC configuation.  We will be updating from Office 2007 on Windows XP to Office 2010 on Wndows 7.

My question is what to save from Office, such as Templates, Autocorrect, Dictionaries, Building Blocks, etc.   Each user must save their own in their Network Home Directory.  I can of course find the templates, not sure however how to work with them in Office 2010.  I have a PC to work with so I can document this for the other users in our company. I found the dictionaries.

I have a lot of ACL files in quite a few different folders and am not sure which apply and if they will be usable in Office 2010.

I havent a clue where the Quick Parts / Building Blocks are stored nor where to put them in the new file system.  We also have some Quick Tables and a variety of Customized Cover Pages.  Any help, either direct or referencing links to research on my own will be most gratefully appreciated.

Change Word 2013 Installation

I just attempted to uninstall the built-in templates from Word 2013 following a suggestion made by Suzanne Barnhill and Doug Robbins in this thread.

However, the Change button gives me the Repair facility and Uninstall appears to be a complete uninstall. Is there a way to change the installed features without a complete uninstall?

Create a checkerboard fill pattern in a Word table

Hi,

MS Word 2007 Document "Not Responding" on new Dell laptop w/Windows 8- Unsaved (except autosave?) but I need the document badly! Help!!

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 04:36 AM PDT

Okay, I know I'm an idiot.  That goes without saying, so there's no need to repeat it.  I was working in a final project/grad school document for hours yesterday with a horrid headache, and I didn't even think about saving as I was going.  So it's still called "Document 1."  Late last night all of a sudden the cursor started circling, the screen changed color slightly, and at the top it now says "not responding."  I looked up how to do document recovery, but this laptop (which was a gift) is a new, cheap Dell running Windows 8, and I installed Microsoft Home and Student Office 2007, so the directions for document recovery all ask me to press or click on things that don't exist.  For example, it says to click start, point to programs, etc, but there is no start button where you can then go to programs.  I don't want to close the document for fear that I will lose everything, although it is set to autosave every 10 minutes.  I have no idea what to do now- I ran the diagnostics for word, which came up with a ton of different conflicting results.  If anyone has advice I'd be really grateful!

Thanks.

Mail merge docx with headersource

Posted: 03 Jul 2014 12:05 AM PDT

Hi,

After having upgraded most users to Office2013, we are finding that when using a header-source with a merged .docx document, everytime the document is opened, the header-source needs to be re-attached to the document.

The only solution I have found so far is to downgrade the document to a .doc (97-2003) file.

1. Is there a fix, or does one have to do a work around?

2. If no fix, does anyone know if there is any Microsoft documentation related to this? or plans to resolve?

Thank you

Change Color Pattern Scheme

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 05:00 PM PDT

Hi there,

I have a document where it has a colour scheme which uses the colours orange, blue, green and black. The set up kind of look like as follows:

blue black blue black green blue black blue orange blue. Blue black green blue black.

Basically each sentence starts with a blue coloured word and is followed by a black coloured word. After a green or orange coloured word it starts from blue again. What I am doing is trying to figure out some way that if I change a word to orange/green or put one of the word together, is there some function in word that will help me set the next word the corresponding colours until it runs into a period, green or blue coloured word. So for example:

blue1 black2 blue3 black4 green5 blue6 black7 blue8. Blue9 black10 orange11 blue12 black13.

to (if we put the first two words together)

blue1-2 black3 blue4 green5 blue6 black7 blue8. Blue9 black10 orange11 blue12 black13.

Thanks!

How can I reduce the size of the header area in a flyer template?

Posted: 02 Jul 2014 04:20 PM PDT

I am using Word 2013. I am using the 4th of july flyer. I need more space for writing, so I have reduced the size of the picture but all that it does is leave a huge blank space. It will not allow me to write text in this space. The header box is about 75% of the page. I tried going into the page setup and changing the alignment. It was on bottom, I changed to top. It still did not move it and will not allow me to use the empty space. What do I need to do. I have tried everything I can think of. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm in desperate need.

I noticed after I posted that you are using a Intel-537EP. There is a
separate source/driver for that chipset. My links refer to Intel-536EP,
and that is the wrong driver. It appears version 2.7.95.0 is the latest
driver for the 537EP:

(split url, again:)

You said you have tried two versions of Suse. I see that Intel
supports Suse version 9.3 directly with a binary driver. Suse 9.3 is a
little old, though. The source is the best way, but you'll need to be
able to follow their instructions carefully.

OK, that means that the driver is either not loaded or had problems when it

If there is, run modprobe nameofdriver

That means that you do not have the kernel source installed. Look on your

kernel-source and ends with .i386.rpm
Install it

rpm -Uhv /path/to/your/CD/kernel-source*i386.rpm


 
 
 
 

Yes, it means that the interface wifi0 does not exist, which iwconfig
already told you ( actually wifi0 is not an interface name any driver I
know of uses anyway).


You need either a native driver for your wirelss card
lspci|less
and look for the wireless card.
or you need to use ndiswrapper
( ndiswrapper should be on the installation CD. Install it with rpm
and then do
ndiswrapper -l <nameofwindowsfile.inf>
where the argument is the path to and the name of the inf file for the
windows driver from the windows CD that came with the wireless/laptop.

Does MS Project have possibility to draw S curve automatically?

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 04:34 AM PDT

Thank you it really helped. I have visited your site and marked it in
favourites to come back.
I am working in small company, after rather big experience on big projects
in big company. Now I miss data base for unit productivities (in construction
and maintenance of oil production plants). Do you have some links to places
where exchange of experience can be done without membership fees. I am ready
to give samples of schedules for tank maintenance works: rebottoming,
painting etc.

Exporting Time-phased data

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 07:20 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes. I've tried the "Analyze Timescaled Data in Excel", however I am
constrained to using only the task name field to identify the rows in my
resulting spreadsheet; I want to include data from other columns as well
to help in the sorting/analysis of the entire data set.

For example, I want to summarize costs by WBS, or by resource group, or
other custom resource fields I've created.

Is there a way to create an export map for the "Analyze Timescaled Data
in Excel" the same way you can export other data using export maps?

Cost factors of material resources

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 05:13 AM PDT

Hi Eswer,
I'm assuming you are trying to assign an extra cost (you call it a burden)
onto your material cost? This is common accounting practice.
If this is this is the case and if the burden is a constant (e.g. Add a set
% to the material cost) you can create a custom field which uses the material
cost as the base and multipy it by the constant.
When I say the burden needs to be standardised I mean it should be a fixed
%, i.e. the business want to add 20% to all material costs!! The 20% is fixed
and can therefore be used in the formula based custom field.

Paul

Hope this clarifies my answer.

Hey

Jack, you seems to be the expert.

yeah i noticed that i missed the parantece. but its not that.

Sorry if ive explained the problem a little bit diffuse.
but its not a problem to get a object to a string. but the problem is to get
"activity.calendar" to be an object.

but it is possible to write Activity.Calendar in VBA?

if i dont get this to work , it is possible to send you a sample project
file. so that you can try it? just see if its just my computer or
something....

Thanks

Material Resource overload

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:21 PM PDT

How could you set a max even if Project allowed it? Material resources are
things that are incorporated into the deliverable or consumed during its
production. If I have a wall that will require 500 bricks I can't just
arbitrarily stop building when I've used 250. If I did the wall won't ever
be finished and the project will be deemed a failure. Project's tracking of
material resources is to insure you know how many to order so you will have
enough on hand to do the job required. Essentially you can't load based on
materials - if the budgeted allowance isn't sufficient to complete the
required deliverables you only have three options - buy more materials,
reduce the project scope, or abandon it altogether.

Scheduling with a deadline while behind schedule

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:03 PM PDT

Hi,

When you use the reschedule work function, it shifts the unfinished work to
today (or tomorrow, depends), that is true.
It ignores predecessors of this work, logical isn't it, that's the past, you
only plan the future.
But it doesn't ignore the successors to these tasks, these are shifted just
as well.
You will probably get negative slack (if you fixed the end date with a hard
constraint) or a schedule overrun (when you only put a delay on the final
task).

Now by all means you're to move: can you increase resources (only few people
can, you know); can you use subcontreacting to speed up, etc.;LS project has
no way of guessing this and I wonder if any software will know your
possibilities to improve the schedule..

Slip task

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 11:17 AM PDT

Reading your post a question came to mind - was any work performed on the
11th? The task was originally scheduled to start on the 11th. If work was
NOT performed on it, we don't have a task being interrupted, we have a
task's start being delayed which is not the same thing at all. A task is
interrupted if work starts and then stands-down for some reason. If work
was performed on the 11th, the day of work for the 11th is "used up" in the
overall task duration and the interruption begins with the first moment work
should have happened but didn't, which is to say, the morning of the 12th,
NOT the moment the work that was performed finished, the afternoon of the
11th. If we work 8-5, work was done the 11th from 8 to 5 and the
interruption begins 8am the morning of the 12th, not 5pm the afternoon of
the 11th because non-working time, the hours from 5pm->8am, is ignored by
the calendars and might as well not even exist as far as the project is
concerned. The easiest way to post this to your schedule would be to enter
any actual work for that task on the day(s) it took place and then with that
task selected, use from the menu Tools / Tracking / UpdateProject and with
the radio button for "Selected Tasks" in the dialog box selected, use the
"Reschedule Uncompleted Work to Begin After..." option.

How to change pjDate_Www_dd ?

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 10:16 AM PDT

Well, it sounds strange, but the first date will be Dec 27'04, for 2005
calendar. This is, thas last week of Dec will be w1/1 ->w1/7. Part of the
problem could be that the last week of Dec is in MP, as of today, w53, and a
lot of companies only use 52 weeks for a calendar year. One of those
companies that use this format, that I know , is Intel
