Microsoft Word - No longer able to edit background removal

Microsoft Word - No longer able to edit background removal

No longer able to edit background removal

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 02:31 PM PDT

While making presentation/creating word documents I often use the background removal tool on pictures. Lately the feature for manual changes on background removal has not been available on Word nor Powerpoint, and the automatic feature is virtually helpless when it comes to complex images.

Is there a way to get it back?

 

Amipro 3.1 .sam file converter to office 2013

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 01:46 PM PDT

I have some old AmiPro 3.1 files (*.sam) that I would like to convert to Office 2013 running on Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.

Does anyone know how to do it?

I would prefer to hear from someone that has actually done it or at least  tested the method.

I would also consider any other contemporary Application such as, Open Office in lieu of Office 2013.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.

Information in Content Controls disappear when closing and opening a word 2010 document

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 01:09 PM PDT

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, know how to fix it? I created a form in Word 2010 using content controls and grouping. When I open the form and fill it out, save it, and close it and then open it up, most or all of the information I typed is gone. I cannot understand this. It has not happened before. My coworker is experiencing the same thing. Is there a glitch?

Random white lines in Word 2013 Table of Contents

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 12:47 PM PDT

I'm trying to correct an issue with an automatic table of contents in Word 2013.  Random white lines are appearing between certain headings and they don't seem to follow any kind of pattern.  I've tried turning on 'view all characters' to see if there is some combination of keystrokes in the document text causing this issue, but there doesn't seem to be any inconsistency there.  I've also reviewed the text 'style' before and after each heading and all of my headings (including those without the issue in the TOC) are preceded and followed by either 'Normal' text or another 'Heading'.

Here's a screenshot of the TOC with arrows pointing to a couple of the offending lines but you can see there are many more.  I've tried copying a good table of contents from another doc, but that didn't work.  I am at a loss.  Help please!

Hi,

I am having a problem getting the apps for office (word) to work, whenever i try to refresh the 'MY APPS' section, word gives the message: "Cannot connect to catalog". When googling the problem I've noticed more people have encountered it, but I haven't found an answer yet.

This is the message I am talking about.

I am using word 2013.

Whenever i have opened this my apps section there also seems to be a connection problem to my account:

I've blacked out my email-address but i guess you can find that back in my account somewhere if necessary.

I hope there is a quick solution to my problem, thanks in advance.

Word 2010 - Creating Manual from Other Word Documents and Hyperlinks

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 11:02 AM PDT

I'm assembling a host of notes in Word 2010 on a multitude of different work topics. I was creating a large document for reference, but the file size was getting so large that I wasn't able to e-mail it through the work e-mail system.  I need to be able to share documents via e-mail with others. Unfortunately we don't all have access to a shared drive we can use for this purpose. For security purposes we also cannot use USB drives in our computers.

I've since been creating separate documents for separate topics.  I've also been accumulating a list of online resources and pdf documents.   What I would like to have is a document that pulls all of these resources together.   I'm going to be using this in the course of a fast paced job so I'm going to need to be able to access information quickly.  My thought is to create a resources document that has hyperlinks to all the various subdocuments, pdfs, and online resources.

I've been looking into Master documents and I wonder if this isn't the solution, but I'd like to get some advice before I begin creating this document.  I like the fact that it looks like each section is collapsible. There are some things I'm curious about though.

Does the Master document become huge itself?  Is it the size of all the documents combined?

Along with inserting subdocuments would the addition of hyperlinks to web resources and pdfs work well?

Is the text of all the subdocuments within the master document searchable?

Am I on the right track here or can you all think of a better solution to my problem?

First and foremost I need a document for my own use. But I'm also considering how I could easily share it with others. The hyperlinks I create are going to reference word documents on my system.  If I send the master document and all subdocuments will it work for them?  I'm thinking of all the hyperlinks that might end up getting broken.

Thank you so much for your help!  I don't want to put a lot of time into a solution that is not ideal.

iCloud Drive integration with Microsoft Office on iOS?

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 10:27 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm deciding weather to buy a Surface Pro 3 or an iPad Air with a Keyboard.  The defining factor for me is, will Microsoft Office on iOS have integrated support for iCloud Drive to not only open files from, but to save files to - similarly to how OneDrive is integrated.

I attempted to use OneDrive before, but I found that it took way too long to sync only 314mb, whereas Dropbox (Which I currently use) did it in a few minutes

Read-Only / Protected View _ Word 2013

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT

At work, we use a Java based website to generate letters based on 2003 Word templates and Macro inputs. These Word templates can be modified to adjust the formatting or Macros. To do so, the template is opened as a Word document, the document is modified, and document is saved to update the template within the site. This is done without a hitch on Word 2003. The document is opened, modified, saved, and updated within the site.

However, when the same is tried with Word 2013 (the Word I am using), the document cannot be saved back to the site to update the template. Rather, the document opens as Read-Only / Protected View and saving the document to my computer as a new file is the only option. This is very frustrating and I need to find a way that I can open the document as an editable file and save it back to the site to update the template.

Things I have tried:

Installing the Microsoft compatibility pack

Modifying Trust Center settings to remove all restrictions

Adjusting restrictions once the document opens

Searched the web for solutions for hours

This seems to be an issue with many people and I have not found a solution. Microsoft prides itself on document handling and productivity, but this feature is in conflict with its own software and making it impossible for me to work.

Please help me resolve this issue!

Thanks

Proofing tools - x86 or x64?

Hello,

I'm using 32bit Office 2013 on 64bit Windows 8.1.

I want to install the Dutch proofing tools.

Should I use the x86 or x64 version of the proofing tools? In other words, is x86/x64 in the proofing tools installer referring to the Office version or to the Windows version?

MS Word Mail Merge from Access Data Corruption

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 09:28 PM PDT

I have a very basic Access database full of club membership data in which I have created a Mailing List Query. 

I have created a form letter and wish to use Mail Merge to complete the letters, taking the data from the Access Query.  This has worked OK previously, but when I recently tries this again, three (and only a specific three) of the fields came across as either completely corrupted (gobbledygook) or truncated. 

Curiously, if I close & reopen the letter, the results switch back & forth between gobbledygook and truncated.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how I might rectify the problem?

Thanks

Coordinate proofing among different PCs

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I set Word options to save documents and templates to my SkyDrive so that I can easily switch between my desktop and my Surface tablet.  That works fine for documents and templates but not for proofing tools.  Do I really have to redefine every proofing function on every new computer I use and hope I can do it consistently.  There must be some way to maintain a shared library of proofing functions, isn't there?

Convert a document from RTF to Word and embed all images

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:24 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a document that has been created as an RTF output and images are not embedded (I have no choice on this initial output), they are essentially links.  If I try and convert the RTF document to DOCX and send the file to someone else, none of the images appear because the links are broken or not present.

Is there a simple/quick way to embed all images into the DOCX document without having to go through one by one.  There are 250+ images.

Thanks, Scott

Need some assistance creating a new document in a separate Document Collection using VBA Word 2010

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:10 PM PDT

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to do something and hope someone might have an answer here.
I am trying to create a new document from a template within another Word Document.
If I call Word.Documents.Add template:="C:\Templates\Test.dotm", the new document opens based on that template but the calling document is locked until that new document is closed.
If I can Word.Documents.Open filename="C:\Templates\test.dotm", it opens in its own window and the original document is able to be edited.
I need to be able to create a new document based on a template from within a template without adding it to the Documents collection. Is this possible in VBA? Any suggestions are appreciated.

MS Word 2010 search results disappear from navigation pane after a few seconds

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 03:54 PM PDT

When I highlight a word and press ctrl+f the Navigation pane opens to the 'Browse results' tab. This lists my results, and highlights them in the document. However after a few seconds, this disappears, and says "you can search for text..." and I have to press the up/down arrows to get the list to reappear.  This is exceedingly frustrating. Could this be related to another problem I have that the view returns to the cursor position a few seconds after scrolling away from it? 

Any advice for either problem would be great. 

Sharepoint won't open office docs after server rename

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 02:49 PM PDT

Hi-

We renamed our SharePoint server and everything is fine.  However, MS docs won't open within SharePoint anymore.  We have an Office Web Apps server and that hasn't been touched since the rename...  Is there somewhere on the Web Apps server where I need to change the name of our SharePoint 2013 server?  Any other ideas?  This was working fine before the server rename.

Thanks in advance!

Bob,
You're welcome.

Having a drop down with choices is the next step in using spare fields.
Let's assume you are using Text1, Text2 and Text3 to store the three
part of the code. Go to Tools/Customize/Fields and set each text field
up with a Value List. More details on customizing fields is available in
the Help file.

With regard to creating csv files for import into AS/400. I'm not
familiar with AS/400 but as long as it can read csv, it shouldn't be to
difficult to automate the transfer. As it turns out I am working with a
client right now to create two csv data files for import by another
application. The user will have two options. One option is to export the
required Project data to Excel where it can then be viewed, massaged if
necessary, and finally saved as a csv. The second option is to create
the csv file directly from Project. All this is being done with a VBA
macro. However, if the csv format can be set up with a customized view
in Project, (i.e. get the required Project fields in the right
sequence), It is even easier. Then all you will need is to do a Save As
and chose csv as the format. I've never tried that approach so I don't
know if there are any issues to watch out for but it might work for you
if you do not have VBA experience.

Hope this helps.

Analyze toolbar

Posted: 10 Oct 2005 09:27 AM PDT

Looks like I fixed this.

I enabled the Com add-in menu item and refreshed it (by undoing the tick and
then checking the box). The tool bar is now visible.

I suspect this was to do with policies on the Terminal Server...

Displaying timephase data for custom fields

"JackD" <momokuri@gmail> wrote:
 

Guys,
Without getting into another long discussion on philosophy, Jumpin's
question was, "How can you display timephase data for custom fields?" He
(or she) didn't ask if it was easy, practical, realistic, or with any
other qualifier. I think you will have to agree I answered the question
and I think you will also have to agree that I indicated in my first
responses that to do so was NOT easy or convenient (i.e. requires VBA
and special algorithms).

Are we to assume in our replies that the user is limited in their scope
of thinking or in what they are willing to do? I hope not. Years ago the
Project "experts" at my company said you couldn't do accounting month
data with Project. Then I wrote a macro to do it. In my view, Microsoft
provides VBA with its applications so the user can extend the
functionality to meet their needs - whatever those needs might be -
practical or impractical.

If a poster is "put off" by a response that is complex or difficult to
implement, that's fine, accepting or rejecting our advice is their
prerogative. Unless the difficult method is the only way to get there I
always try to offer several options from simple to advanced. Some may be
crazy, zany, or out in left field, but it gives the user a choice. I
believe most people like choices - perhaps I'm wrong - I accept that. In
the current case of Junpin's original post, he/she in fact asked about
the level of difficulty with a VBA solution so I didn't get the feeling
that I was out of line or leading them down a rosy path. However, what I
did get a little torqued about is that Jumpin posted the same question
again after you, me, Jan had already provided a thread of
answers/comments.

Time to Market for projects that are put on hold

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 12:45 PM PDT

Hi James,

If you have already started working on the project and recorded tracking
data (actual work, actual duration, actual start etc.) you could use the
"Reschedule Uncompleted Work" command in Project to split the in-progress
tasks, leaving the completed work data as completed, and move any incomplete
work to the new start date. Make sure you have supplied all tracking data
for tasks in progress and then choose Tools>Tracking> Update Project, and
enter the new date in the dialog box next to the option "Reschedule
uncompleted work to start after".

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Duration field calculates 1.92 days for 2 days, how do you fix?

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 10:31 AM PDT

1) Why not try it and see? You could always make a copy and use that to
try out ideas. If you have already assigned a 24 hour resource to the task,
Project should then recognize the change to one 12 hour shift and double the
Duration. You thus will need to assign the other shift to the task, whence
the Duration will halve to the original.

2) Yes. Provided you don't assign a single resource, like the project
manager, using that calendar.

3) Hopefully :)

Duane,
No, not specifically for exporting Project data to Word. However, I can
suggest a couple of links that might be very useful.

You don't mention if you have VBA experience or not but even if you do,
you might want to take a look at the link on our MVP website for Project
VBA. Go to: http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm
At the bottom of the page you will find a link for, "Project 98 Visual
Basic Environment Training Materials". Even though it says it is for
Project 98, it is equally applicable to all current versions of Project.
As I recall, the training modules help explain the Project object
structure and there is also a section on how to interface with other
applications.

A second link to to fellow MVP, Jack Dahlgren's website at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
Jack has several examples of useful VBA code. In particular the macro on
exporting Project data to Excel (Export hierarchy to Excel) might be of
benefit.

Good luck. If you have further questions, feel free to post in our

Putting costs against milestones

Hi P,

Another option in addition to Mike's suggestion is to create the material
resource and enter the cost for the material resource in the "Cost/Use"
field. Assign the material resource at zero units (to avoid increasing the
duration). This will carry the cost for the material resource to the task
based upon the cost per use.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Calculations not making sense

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 05:52 AM PDT

So how do I set a project schedule that reflects that work will be done
in 2 12 hour shifts? Set up a 2 shift schedule taking the breaks of
the two individual 12 hour shifts into account?

For example, my shifts run:

Day Shift
6A-11:30A
12P-6P

Night Shift
6P-11:30P
12A - 6A

so then should my "24 hour" schedule be entered as
12P -11:30P
12 A to 11:30 A

or
6A - 11:30 A
12P - 6P
6P-11:30 P
12 A - 6 A

Or is there another option I'm not thinking about?

thanks for all of your help by the way. Resource leveling is the one
thing that I've never been able to make work in Project. Getting this
figured out will be a definite breakthrough.

When you say "global pool" do you mean you are using Project Server or do
you simply ean your projects are connected to a resource pool without using
server?
Mind you I know nearly nothing about server, but if is a "norml" pool I'm
convinced we'll crack this one.
