Microsoft Word - Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Microsoft Word - Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Template created in Word 2010 vs. 365 for iPad

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 01:34 PM PDT

I have templates I created in Word 2010 with check boxes and radio buttons that I want to be able to put on the iPad for people to fill out using 365.  Will the document be readable and usable on the iPad?  I do NOT need the ability to edit the template - just be able to fill it out.  Thanks.

Inexplicable Formatting Loss (Flush Left to Centered...and Back Again)

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 12:05 PM PDT

I'm helping someone who wants to write a screenplay but can't afford the various software titles usually used for the job. Having won a fellowship for a screenplay back-in-the-day, I instructed my student to (apologies to Dickens' Mrs. Gargery) "raise it by hand": CENTER the characters' names, DOUBLE SPACE to dialogue that would then change format to FLUSH LEFT, SINGLE SPACE, and 1.5" TAB INDENTATION.

At the bottom of any screenplay done "by hand" in Word that the character's name will be orphaned. Therefore, I told my young aspirant to check, double check, and then check again that no dialogue is orphaned this way. It's not a deal break when read by an agent but not attractive, either.

No luck. No matter how many times he followed my instructions (which I proofread gratis, to make sure he followed them), every so often, the flush left would disappear upon being Saved DESPITE the fact that the RULER showed the indentation to be set at 1.5".

This threw off the oh-so-carefully tended Orphan Control. I won't even begin to describe what a SAVE AS .PDF looked like.

Can anyone venture a guess as to why, no matter how many times the offending sections of Flush Left dialogue were Saved As flush left--and saved and saved again--they reverted to being Centered? Can anyone think of any way at all to fix this disaster?

I want him to call it THE LOST WEEKEND OF MS WORD. Between pagination nightmares that never have gone away, Borders that, once utilized, will not go away, and now this, I'm very leery of sinking money into Office 365.

Thank you for reading this.

Mixing Legacy and Non-legacy controls in a Word 2007 Form

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 09:50 AM PDT

I inherited a Word 2007 document that is using legacy form controls.  I added another control using the new form control, but, the tab key stops working when it hits the new control even though there are more legacy controls that follow it.

Thank you.

Macro that ungroups text and deletes the entire page - Word 2010

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:55 AM PDT

I have a form in Word 2010 using content controls and grouping. I was asked to see if there is a way to be able to ungroup the text and delete the entire page using a command button. The command button also needs to be invisible when printing if the page is not deleted. If anyone can help, I would owe you the moon!

Fixing the scale of pictures posted from Excel to Word

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 06:10 AM PDT

Hi.

I am trying to post sections of columns from a matrix constructed in Excel as pictures into Word.

The method I use is simply ctrl+c, right click in Word and then paste as picture.

However, Word keeps changing the scale of the pictures depending on how many columns I select in Excel.

For instance, if I copy six columns the scale will be set to 36% of the original size whereas if I copy only two columns, the scale will be set to 60%, thus making the columns of that picture much bigger in comparison.

I know I can change this for any one picture by right-clicking and choose to rescale the Picture manually.

The problem is that I would need to to this for a lot of pictures that will vary in scale.

The target solution would be to fix the scale that will allow the sheet in Word to accomodate the most columns, in this case six columns to a scale of 36% and then, in some way, make the scale of 36% apply also to all other pictures pasted from Excel that will range between 1 and 6 columns in width.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards

Create template with selectable sections in microsoft Word

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 05:22 AM PDT

Greetings folks,

  So I am a Network Engineer and we are trying to create a design package in Microsoft Word.  While I know what I am trying to do can be done with a database, we are trying to create the form using Microsoft Word.  The objective of the document would be as such....

An engineer would open the template (I think it would be a template) and before creating the content of the document, they would be able to select the sections that need to be in the document. 

There could potentially be say 50 sections to the document but the engineer can decide they only need 10 of the 50 sections in the document.

The document may follow something like the below format: 

Layer 1

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 2

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 3

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 4

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 5

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 6

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Layer 7

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

Security Section

Text and Diagrams may go here

 

VPN Section

Text and Diagrams may go here

Where the engineer may decide they don't need the Layer 1 Section or the Layer 4 Section which would mean when they publish out that specific document, those sections would not be present.  But they would need the ability to add them in later if it became necessary.  I am thinking of something like the ability to toggle the sections as hidden/visible or something, but not sure what direction to go in.  I imagine I would need to setup the initial document with each section available and then the engineer would be able to select check boxes or something and based on the check boxes selected, the other sections could be programmatically hidden.  I have no real idea of how to go about this process so coming to the community for thoughts and tips.

It may also come to be that the engineer just begins to write the document that already has the sections defined and as they come to a section that they feel is unnecessary, they can just click a check box or some trigger to hide that section.  Again any directional guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Word 2013/PDF

Hyperlinks using the wrong application to view images (bmp & jpg)

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:10 AM PDT

I have two machines, both running Windows 7 and Office 2010. On both machines i have jpg and bmp files associated with Windows Photo Viewer so that in Windows Explorer double clicking a file of this type (or right click and select open or preview) i view the image in Windows Photo Viewer. If i right click and select 'edit' i get the image opened in MS Paint.

 

This happens on both machines.

 

If i create a Word, Powerpoint or Excel file and insert a hyperlink referencing a jpg file or bmp file then i get different results.

 

On one machine the images are opened in MS Paint and in the other opens the images in Windows Photo Viewer. Note that these are the same set of files that behave differently on two different machines.

 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

 

Please note: i have read yards of advice on other forums about setting default associations etc - but this doesn't apply here - because the windows associations are set correctly and work as expected. It is MS Office that for some reason is launching the wrong program.

Word Document Screw-Up

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 09:27 PM PDT

So I HAD a word document that was about twenty pages. I hadn't saved it in a few days, it just stays open and it's no big deal. Today, I go to save it, and I figured that it saved everything. Tonight, several hours after the initial save, I go to open the document, and several pages. Gone. I tried to look in the unsaved documents, I could not find it.  Help me! This has happened before and those pages are VERY important to me. Do you know how I can get them back? I have AutoRecover,but I can't find that last version! I'm desperate!

What to change in printer info in macro

Posted: 03 Aug 2014 07:21 PM PDT

I have had a macro for a while now in MS Word, that would let me print exactly one copy of a document, even if the previous print job had been multiple copies. I have included it here:

Sub PasteUnformattedText()
'
' PasteUnformattedText Macro
' Macro recorded Tue 26 Feb 2013 by Paul
'
    Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
        wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
End Sub
Sub MyPrint()
Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = "\\CYNTHIA-HP\HP LaserJet 1018"
Application.PrintOut Copies:=1
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter
End Sub
Sub TextWidth()
'
' TextWidth Macro
'
'
    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 218
End Sub

Now the boldprint is what i need to change. Obviously, I have a new printer. The old one was shared; this new one is wireless.

What do I need to insert into the macro, to get it to work on this new one? I have the name of the printer, but how many of those backslashes do i need?  And do I insert an IP, or the printer name? I'd experiment on my own, but I'd really prefer not to goof up the macro code here..... :)

DST Patch using the Exchange Update Tool

I joined a Microsoft chat room about DST and posted the same issue. They
asked me if a followed the procedure (KB930879) and I said I did because I
was helped by a Microsoft Exchange support engineer on the phone using live
meeting. And then I asked them will the appointments correctly displayed
after 2:00AM this Sunday and they said it would as long as I followed
correctly the procedure. I have already advised three of the affected users
to update it manually but I am just hoping that it would correctly show after
2:00AM...What do you think? Thanks for your help.

Exchange mailbox scheduled contents deletion

Posted: 06 Mar 2007 07:31 PM PST

Hi

Thanks for the response. The reason behind not just deleting all SPAM
suspects is not so we can screen every email, but just in case one of our
users contacts use regarding a missing email from a customer, we can do a
quick search throught the most recent email to check if it has been
inadvertently caught by our SPAM filter.

GAL question

Posted: 06 Mar 2007 01:24 PM PST

If the user is filtered out of the gal you will not be able to resolve it. When you do a check names you are making a call to the active directory to check for that user in the address list container, so if you want this to work you will need to get them in the gal by either unfiltering them or un-hiding them from the address book if they are hidden

Hey Bharat,

Thanks for your reply. We are a Univ. and we have two AD and Email domains,
one for Fac/Staff and one for students. We filtered out the student address
so they don't show up in the GAL, but the acct(s) are NOT hidden via ((ADUC
| User properties | Exchange Advanced tab) they are just filtered out.

To run the patch for DST 2007 on an Exchange server you first have to create
an Outlook profile on the server that you want to run the update tool on.
That persents a problem, to create a profile you have to be able to resolve
the name. However, the name won't resolve if it's not in the GAL. I
created an AD user on the student side that I want use but it's not in the
GAL. Some how I need to get it in the GAL so it will resolve.

Maybe I could just move my acct. to that server and run the tool? Anyone
have any feedback on that?

Clayton

Problems after updating kernel

Dustin wrote: 


Well, you've got two problems. The one with lockups could be the kernel
version. The one with ndiswrapper could be that Linux limits the amount
of stack space the kernel uses, but Windows drivers assume they can get
as much as they want.

A better solution to ndiswrapper woes is to use hardware that's
supported by Linux. I swapped out the built-in Broadcom in my laptop
for a built-in Intel card.

Also, the development RPMs for FC5 *are* set up to be "yum"able, but you
have to configure yum to know about the repository. Or you can just FTP
the files and use rpm (which is what I do).

SUID script help!

Posted: 01 Oct 2006 09:11 AM PDT

Ouch. Ok, theres a lesson for me, always supply the full story.

Ok, the script/program is part of a larger project. This C
script/program isnt going to be actually used on any existing systems
so as I said earlier, security isnt a problem.
As part of this project, I cant use sudo because of the way the project
is being developed.

This is the original coding Im talking about (for those that cant find
the original post)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *var = argv[1];
system(var);
return(0);
}

As someone said in an earlier post, the program is supposed to be one
which sets to suid root and then can run any command on the system.

Fair enough, the program may be 'attrocious for an suid wrapper' but
its fine for what I need. I just need this program to be slightly
tweaked for the end result needed.

Ah. That was percisely where I had to tune My unix years ago.Informix
Database stuff. Dozens of processes and zillions of open files in a
C-ISAM setup.

I would definitely investigate how many open files and how many
processes these boxes are running. With a once every few seconds cron
script.

If you find that no box ever exceeds a suspicious looking process limit
- like 4096, or ever has more than a similar suspicious number of files
open, you will know where to probe deeper.

I cannot say that ill behaviour in a system that is outside the limits
it has been set is a 'bug' though.

 

My guess is that to dump it required a tad more resources than you had
left.


I honsetly thimk you are looking in the wrong area. Yes, a kernel that
e.g. tries to fork and gets a null response from a memory allocation
request shouldn't bomb, but in practice this isn't the issue you are
trying to fix.

You are trying to make sure it HAS got enough memory to e.g. fork.

Fixing bugs in error REPORTING doesn't fix the problems that caused the
errors..

I presume you have a good reason for such nonsense as a couple cheap extra
drives would do the same thing easily.

I GUESS pre creating partitions before install would cause the install disk to
ask you which partition and thus you could do so.

Are you sure you really want to do this?
