Using Paste Special, I can convert a large table to an image but part of the table at the bottom does not appear. Is there an unseen boundary?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 02:55 PM PDT

I am creating calendars using a table and to be posted on my website. I normally use "Print Screen" and "Paint" to convert my tables to images. However, sometimes I cannot get all of the table on the screen to use "Print Screen". So I need to find another way to convert large tables to images without breaking up the table, at least one calendar week at a time (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.).

These are some things I have tried:

1.  I entered HTML code to float and connect two images without gap in between; I received this info from the creators of the website theme I am using. The problem with the code is the calendar and info is centered on the page and I was informed you can not use "float" as center. Do not want to use as "float: left" because it looks awkward.

2.  Without HTML float code, a broad black line appears between the tables/weeks; I understand it is called "padding". I could work with that if the line only appeared between the separate weeks (i.e., the first week is one table, the second week is another table, etc.). However, it does not work if the data in a particular week is very long and overflows into the next page; that week becomes divided with that broad black line running through and looks awkward and disconnected.

3.  PowerPoint does not like tables.

4.  I don't have a PDF converter at this time and am not sure that will even work. Otherwise, the tables look too small to "Print Screen"; re-sizing makes blurry.

5.  I discovered "Paste Special" which seemed to work by using the size 11x17; this way I could get a very long table/week on that size page. It seemed to be going well until I had a long table that encompassed two pages (using size letter/landscape). I moved the table to size 11x17 to get it all on one page. 

This is my problem:

Using "Paste Special", I highlight the table, copy it, go to another document or page, use "Paste Special" to paste as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)". Although the table converts to an image, it is not picking up the entire table at the bottom.

I am flabbergasted! I have looked through MS Word, search engines and tried everything to discover why it is not picking up the entire table. Even though I transported the table from the size letter/landscape to 11x17, it appears that where the image stopped picking up the info from the table image is where the info stopped on the first page of the two-page table that was previously on the letter/landscape size.

Could it be still recognizing the boundary of the letter/landscape size and not picking up the info after that? And if so, how do I make it appear? What is more interesting, is when you click on the table that is now an image, it even shows the extra space where that data should be showing but it is not.

I am also open to other ways to convert whole tables to images if you have any.

Once I conquer this, it will be smooth sailing and I will be able to make as large of a calendar week that I want because the info/events will grow. I have updated info for my July 2014 calendar, but because of this dilemma, I am unable to post it.

Your prompt attention would be appreciated! I have my upcoming August 2014 calendar to do and hope I will be able to post.

HELP! Thanking you in advance!

microsoft-word-2013 losing parts of documents

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT

I am working on a project with two other users who have older versions of Word. Sometimes after the documents have gone through a few rounds of editing with the other users and are sent back to me, I only see the first few pages of the document when in Editing mode. I save the document, and can see the whole document. Then, when I switch to editing mode, the last pages disappear and I am unable to view them. However, if I open the document on another computer with an older version of Word, all pages are visible.

I've tried saving in Compatability mode and also not in Compatability mode and the same thing happens.

          Given that I am unable to find anything on my own courtesy of the wonders of "Search" functions, I am stuck with being here.  My question is simple, to wit:  How may I permanently set the "Display" feature in WORD to 0 (zero)?  I do not care to have to continually go through "Options" to repeatedly do this.

Track Changes Pop Up at Bottom of Screen

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 10:33 AM PDT

Hello. I just got a new computer and had to install my old version of Office 2007. However, on my new computer, when I use any type of Macro that I made myself, it pops up a horizontal box showing that change (e.g., a pre-written comment) at the bottom of the screen, in addition to the vertical view already on the right (I use Track Changes).  Do you know how to get it to stop popping up that bottom screen? It's driving me crazy!

Word 2013 x64 Equation Editor freezes and crashes Word.

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:43 AM PDT

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

since installing Office 2013 Professional Plus in English on my Windows 7 Professional x64 desktop machine, I had the problem described in this thread as well.

I tried both the x86 and the x64 downloader / installer of Office, both produce the same problem.

1. Does the 'Equation Editor' feature work properly in other Office 2013 applications?
Yes, it works in Excel 2013 and Powerpoint 2013.

2. Do you receive any error message?
No.

3. Download and install the compatibility pack for Office and then verify the results.

I tried this and it didn't work / help. Especially this doesn't apply to x64.

4. Repair Office 2013 installation then check if you're able to find 'Equation Editor' options.

I tried this and it didn't work.

5. I didn't install any Add-Ins yet, I think:

6. I deactivated hardware acceleration:

No improvement.

7. I ran sfc /scannow. It didn't produce any negative results:

7. I used the following fix-it cleaners to remove old MS Office data, but I think it didn't find anything.

8. Cambria Math Regular seems to be installed:

Is this sufficient? What about the differing icon, compared to other fonts?

Other than those solutions, I am really out of ideas (from Google) right now!

How do we write a macro to enforce our desired business rules?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 09:04 AM PDT

Our agency has a similar problem and would like assistance correcting the problem.  We've combed through several forums and tried all of the suggestions, but the problem persists.

We would like to create a template document that allows users to open, fill in a few form fields in a table, perform spell check, use Review Tracking, route the document using email, add comments, and other similar tracking type behavior.  The problem we run into is adding a header image, footer image, and form version and descriptor that cannot be deleted by the users.  If we use document protection, by default it prevents users from using document tracking, and this functionality is critical to the use of this template document. 

We tried using picture and text content controls set to "content cannot be altered" and "content cannot be deleted."  It works wonderfully, with one small catch:  The error message that pops up when attempting to open.   I've included screen shots of these errors, but the text reads "The file 323001_IOC-Electronic (Option D) cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."  Details Unspecified error Location: Part: /Word/header1.xml, Line: 2, Column 0," and "Word found unreadable content in "323001_IOC-Electronic (Option D).  Do you want to recover the contents of this document?  If you trust the source of the document, click Yes."  

If we change the image from "behind text" to "in line with text," the problem goes away but then we have no control over placing the image exactly where we need it to be.  And if it's set to "in line with text," we can't place any text over it (e.g, the TO, FROM, SUBJECT lines).

Can you help us fix this issue?  You can find the document here: http://1drv.ms/TXyi7O, on my sky drive.

Word Outline view defaults to 'Show First Line Only'.

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 08:21 AM PDT

I'm using Office 2010, on one of my laptops, Word has started to tick 'Show First Line Only' as the default option in Outline view. Is it a bug? Any ideas on how I fix it. The only reference I've been able to find is several years old and has a system of complicated (to me) macros. Anything happened in the meantime?

Consecutive numbers in the text.

The numbers indicate the slide number, and are the cues to press the Advance button.

How can I put these into the text so that they automatically re-number when I insert more text & slides in the middle?

How to Recover corrupted word files?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 06:45 AM PDT

Recently I have been digging for old Word (2013) files and I have found that some of them are corrupted. How this happened is a mystery to me, and if someone could comment I would appreciate it.


However, what I am concerned with is recovering some of them. Whereas some I can let go without much issue, others are very important. I would appreciate any help in recovering them, either with procedures I am yet unfamiliar with, or using specific software. Free would be preferable, but if best-in-class is pay and I need it, I'll buy it.

Thanks for your opinions.

How do I create links to different parts of the same word document?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:05 AM PDT

I wrote a list of 120 references at the end of a large document. Now, I need to create links from other parts of the document to those 120 references at the end of the document.

Explanation:

1. Somewhere in the document I write something like this... "This issue was addressed in manual 23"

2. I need manual 23 to be clickable and take the reader to that reference section at the end of the document to the line that starts with manual 23

How do I do this?

Indent Numbering - List Style?

Posted: 12 Jul 2014 05:01 AM PDT

So I have a document that has various levels of Headings and bodytext and indents.

For example, this is what I am after:

1. Heading1

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

1.1 Heading2

    Bodytext

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

    (b) indent text1

1.2 Heading2

    (a) indent text1

         (i) indent text2

    (b) indent text1

    Bodytext

    Bodytext

    (a) indent text1

    (b) indent text1

I have looked at the ShaunaKelly Numbering/Numbering article and about creatign a StyleList but this does not work because the indent lists style does not always follow the same style and the "Restart numbering" does not always occurs, especially if the content is copied into a new document, which will happen a lot. When that happens the default appears to be "continue numbering" so start getting (aa), etc.

How do you get Restart after Style to be flexible, how to get the numbering to be restart and not default to continue?

fyi, these indents are to be "Bodytext" not "Headings".

Many thanks

Message "Please wait while we connect to your account"

Posted: 11 Jul 2014 10:20 PM PDT

I saw the thread about Office 365, but I have Office Home & Student 2013.  

Starting earlier this week it would say "Please wait while we connect to your account."  It wasn't a problem until last night when I wasn't connected to the internet at the moment and I had a presentation to do.  I wasn't able to do my presentation because I had no internet to connect to where I was at.  

This is extremely frustrating!!  Whatever the error is, please tell me what to do to fix it.  I have had this same Office Home & Student 2013 since January 2014 and I have never, ever had this problem.  My account is a valid account, I can sign in through the website and it connects when I'm online, but I need to be able to access Office anytime - even when I'm not connected to the internet.

Word 2007 with track changes last line of page issue

Posted: 11 Jul 2014 04:31 PM PDT

I have a long document (over 100,000 words) that was edited using track changes  The document is double spaced and page numbers are at the top of the page.  As I got to the end of the changes the editor requested, the document started crashing on my 2007 laptop.  The document was 'recovered' and so I moved it to a newer computer with a bigger graphics card, thinking that might help.  

Since moving the document 3 weeks ago, it has not crashed.  However, a few new issues have developed.  One is that if I am making changes in the 'Final' version, if the number of words on a page increases slightly, the last line of the page will get kicked off and put onto the following page, often with an indent, whether I want it or not.  I have tried every which way to add the omitted line back into it's correct place, but nothing works.  Consequently, some pages have too much space at the end of the page because of this missing line. This issue is driving me crazy!

Has anyone ever heard of this problem and can it be resolved?

Thanks,

Laurie

No problem, simply create a new table (View, Table, More tables) and put
custom fields in it. Then apply the table when you want to look/edit the
data, then re-apply the entry table: no screen space lost.

Custom data on the same row as an existing task won't create a new task. For
project level data:
Select Tools, Options
View tab
Select Project Summary Task

Add data only to the new row 0

update a task to 100% for more than one resource

Posted: 04 Aug 2005 05:08 AM PDT

FOON --

If either one updates their assignment as 100%, I assume that this means the
task is complete. Therefore, you should use the following process:

1. Accept and update the task progress from PWA into the Microsoft Project
plan
2. Click OK and then click Collaborate - Publish - All Information
3. Select the task and click Window - Split
4. In the Task Form (bottom pane), right-click and select the Resource Work
details
5. Set the Remaining Work to 0 hours for the team member who did not report
6. Click OK
7. Click Window - Remove Split
8. Click Collaborate - Publish - All Information

Hope this helps.

You have to have a common conversion rate otherwise 1d or 1w of work will be
mis-interpreted by everyone!

Every resource has their own calendar so every resource can work different
hours in any particular day. So, Sue can have her calendar edited to work a
7 day week for a particular week then have the following Monday and Tuesday
off. Or you can have machinery work 7*24.

The conversion rate has nothing to do with hours worked on a particular day.
It is purely how 1d and 1w is converted into working hours. Project uses the
calculated hours and the resource calendar to calculate the finish date and
time of a task.

So you want to schedule an all nighter? edit the calendar.

So you want to have a task done only on week ends? Create a baseline
calendar called Week Ends and in the Advanced tab of the task's Task
Information dialog select the Week End calendar.

project uses calendars to calculate dates and times for tasks. Conversion
rates are for converting days and weeks to hours and should be the same for
all projects so you can consolidate.

Linked Tasks

Posted: 03 Aug 2005 07:30 PM PDT

Task links are permissive, not obligatory. If I have a task that is linked
from a predecessor FS, where the finish of the predecessor is linked to the
start of the successor, what that is really saying is that the earliest that
the successor can start is when the predecessor has finished. But there are
many reasons why it might actually start LATER than that - resource isn't
available, parts haven't arrived, etc. If we have multiple predecessors
lkinked FS to a single successor, the succesor isn't allowed to start until
the latest finishing successor is done.

In the case of a SF link, the successor tasks is allowed to be declared
"finished" until all the precessors have started, meaning that the earliest
its scheduled finish can occur is when the last to start predecessor has
started.

You could try this. Create summary task and indent your 4 tasks under it.
Link the task you want to control as a successor to that summary task,
linked in a SF relationship so the start of the summary task is linked to
the finish of the successor you need to control. Now the controlled task
will be scheduled to finish when the earliest starting of you subtasks
begins. Usually it's not a good idea to link to and from summary tasks but
there are exceptions to every rule and this may be one of them. I think
you'll find that works.

lock gantt view

Posted: 03 Aug 2005 05:06 AM PDT

Hi again,

If you really don't know what I wa talking about this may be long..

1. You CANNOT read the properties of a view so you CANNOT detect whather it
has been altered or not.

2. Fortunately, you don't have to know that; you can reset it to the
original state by all means.

3. To be able to reset it to the state you want you have to define and save
that state. In other words, you have to store the View (which has all the
formatting in it) and the Table (which is the list of columns in teh left
side, width and Title)

4. Make a file (could be a copy of the life file) and define the view you
want.
Also set the columns you want to show.
In View, More Views, note the name of the View (probably Gantt Chart)
Note that you can rename it etcetera, try it.
Also look at the View Menu, Table:..... and note the name of the table.
Save this file (let's call it Viewfile)

5. When teh file you want to fix the view of comes along, open it together
with Viewfile and go to Tools, Organizer, Views; copy yiour standard view
from the Viewfile innto the target file
Same with Tools, Organizer, Tables.

Hope this helps,

how do I put a project end date in project

Posted: 02 Aug 2005 12:25 AM PDT

Jan gave you one way. Another would be to use a finish milestone to show
the project's end, as Jan suggested. But instead of a MFO constraint, set a
deadline of your desired latest finish date on the milestone. When you
display slack times, such as in the Schedule table view, you'll see the
amount of time each task could theoretically be delayed without pushing the
milestone past your latest acceptable finsih while the milestone itself sits
on the date where your present schedule will cause it to fall. Project's
slack time calculations are identical whether you use constraints or
deadlines designate the latest aceptable finish date. But note, as Jan
said in neither case will Project spread out the tasks to fill the allotted
project length. If you want to do that it's going to be a manual process.
