Microsoft Word - Compatibility for Content Controls in Word forms

Compatibility for Content Controls in Word forms

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 02:17 PM PST

I've created a form in Word 2013 using only content controls. I grouped the tick boxes by category. Protection is turned on for filling in forms. I have no problem completing the form. When I send it to my friend to test in Word 2007 on Windows 7, she can edit the text boxes and tab from field to field with no problem. Yet she cannot tick the check boxes. I tried using legacy tick boxes (boxes grouped and form protected) with no luck. Do I have to convert all fields to legacy fields for backwards compatibility? Should I have done Select All before grouping? Thanks for your help.

Problem with Microsoft wanting me to accept licence & confirm document settings every time I open Word 10

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 01:38 PM PST

I run Windows 7 & and have Microsoft Office 10. No changes over long period & I am not a heavy PC user. Over last few months every time I go to desktop & open Word to prepare a document or anything in Word up comes a Microsoft box asking me to accept licence agreement and then to confirm settings for documents. Until I do this I can not move to any task. I have today checked that Outlook is up to date and also went on to Microsoft site which told me that all updates for Word 10 were current. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this - I have a computer age of about 4 so keep it simple please! Thanks - this is the first time I have gone on to a forum.

MHT File Generation in Word 2010 Max Columns?

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 01:17 PM PST

Hello,

I am converting a Word file to .mht format (using "Save As"). Although the file displays correctly in the browser, I am concerned about the seemingly 77 max column limit when viewed in a text editor such as Notepad++. If any words are broken by this limit, the 77th character is replaced with '='. Is there a way to remove the max column limit or for the converted file not to use these pesky '='? Thanks!

2010?

I have 2010 (complete office) in my old computer. I got a new computer just a week or so after moving into my new place. The problem is I love 2010 and do not have the disc to download into my new computer. Do I have to purchase again?My old computer was windows 7, and this one 8.1.

right clicked hypertext to copy and all text below disappeared

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 10:58 AM PST

I was working in MS Word 2013 / Office 365 for hours, all fine. Then I right clicked on a line of hypertext in a document in order to copy the link for pasting elsewhere.

When I clicked on the link, ALL of the text below it disappeared. More out of curiosity and desire to fix the issue, I highlighted where the text had been and clicked on black in font colors - it worked to restore the text.

The link was just a page link on my website, so it wasn't from an unknown source.

However, I tried it again - same issue. Closed all Word docs, waited a bit and opened only that document again - tried to copy hypertext and same thing happened. I closed all programs, went to folder and since it was basically a "throw-away" doc, I deleted it.

But - why did it happen? Will it happen again?? Anyone else have this issue?

Something went wrong downloading your template - Office 2013 SP1

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 10:45 AM PST

Good evening,

I am trying to use a template in Microsoft Office 2013.  I'm predominantly talking about Microsoft Word but I have tried all other Office applications and am getting the exact same issue.  I notice that others have previously indicated similar problems but there has been no fix.  THings I have tried:

  • Completely uninstalling Office and reinstalling.  I used the Microsoft FixIt to ensure full removal of office.
  • Uninstalling Visio Viewer - seemed to work for a few others.

Nothing seems to be working and this is extremely frustrating.

I'm running Office 2013 Professional Plus x64 on Windows 8.1 x64.  Any ideas what's happening?

Please don't tell me to download the template from the Office website - I shouldn't have to do that as the software should work properly.

Warning about printing pages with page borders in WORD 2013

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 04:37 AM PST

I just finished a flyer and printed it out single side. 

It printed out fine.

I then printed it out two sides and the top and bottom borders were cut off. Additionally the page numbering was partly missing.

So WORD 2013 has printing problems. 

I doubt there is a fix. 

I am going to print out pages and then feed them in and printout the back side. That will work for two-page flyers. 

This wasn't a problem in WORD 2007. 

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8100, but this is a Microsoft problem. 

I am putting this in Discussions since I don't think there is an answer. Usually when you post a question you get incompetent answers. I haven't gotten one useful answer yet.

Prior changes to Microsoft Office have been somewhat useful, but I wasn't planning on them wrecking their software. I really will need to consider alternatives. 

problems when writing a document

Posted: 16 Nov 2014 04:30 AM PST

Hi,  I have experienced this problem before but have never found out what causes it.   When I have typed several lines I some times find the start of one of  lines

is jutting more to the left than the others.   I then place the curser at the start of this line and use the space bar to attempt to move the line to the right so that it lines up with rest of the text,   but instead of moving the line of text,  it deletes the first letter in the line and so on.   If I then retype the letter that has been deleted then next letter is deleted and so on.   I would like to find out what I have done to cause this and also what to do to correct it.  Thank you. Derek

DCOM error, I think this goes with Word 2007

Posted: 15 Nov 2014 06:34 AM PST

I've been receiving an error message with Word 2007 for a long time.

If I click on a document in a folder I receive this error message, then Word will open & I need to find my file that way rather than just clicking on it in my documents.

I think the DCOM error goes with that maybe?

I'd hate to uninstall  and reinstall  being its an older ver of Word,  I remember asking about it here when I needed help years ago to install it from a disk.

Office 2007 SP1 - unable to install - Microsoft Office forums

Office 2007 SP1 - unable to install - Microsoft Office forums

Office 2007 SP1 - unable to install

Posted: 12 Dec 2007 01:01 PM PST

Hi Chris,

If possible, send the log file to me for further research. My email address is com.

At this point, follow the steps below to see if it works.

#1 check the Office 2007 installation
===============
1. Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

2. Select Office 2007. Click Change. Choose Repair to repair it. Can it be finished properly?
3. If not, repair it from the Office 2007 installation CD. If it also doesn't work, there should be problem with the Office 2007
installation, refer to the following KB article to remove and reinstall Office 2007.
928218 How to uninstall the 2007 Office system if you cannot uninstall it by using the "Add or Remove Programs" feature
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;928218

Install the Office 2007 SP1 update again. If it doesn't work, go to next step.

#2 Install the latest version of Windows Installer
==========================
Patch deployment for the 2007 Office release system requires Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1. If you do not have the required Windows
Installer version, you might receive an error message similar to the following during installation:
"2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1) failed to install"

Download and install the latest version of the Windows Installer (Instmsiw.exe) from the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482FC-5F56-4A38-B838-DE776FD4138C&displaylang=en

#3 Make sure that you have sufficient free disk space on the Windows system drive.
==========================
Office 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) requires that you have at least 1.75 GB of free space on Windows Vista and at least 1.1 GB of free
space on other versions of Windows, much of which will be returned after the installation is complete.

#4 check the Local Install Source (LIS) for Office 2007
===============
Since all Office 2007 installs create a Local Install Source (LIS), updates such as SP1 will require this to be present and in good
condition to complete. If users have tried to recover hard disk space by removing all or part of the LIS (the MSOCache folder), it will
need to be repaired before applying SP1.

Please insert the Office 2007 installation CD (or access the original Office 2007 installation source) and then choose Repair to repair the
Office 2007 installation. It will restore the LIS.

If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Emily Lin,

Hi Bob,

Thanks for replying. That's just it. In the past all I ever did was grab a

time I grabbed a copy of Standard Edition, loaded it on to term server and I
can't get the silly thing to work. Is there yet another version of MS Office
that I need to procure, or do I simply buy CALS to add to the version I
already have? I can't find any info on what I'm supposed to do on the MS

In the meantime. You need a live Linux CD, or your installation CD for

Grub Manual Install Question

Posted: 23 Jan 2008 11:32 AM PST

.... 

Subject to naming your partitions correctly,
this sounds fine to me.
But I don't claim to be an expert.

1) You can install grub on your Windows partition,
but I'm not sure why you would want to.
Most people install it on the MBR.
This should not interfere with Windows, if that is your worry.
Here are the stanzas in my grub.conf, as a matter of interest:
--------------------------------
title Fedora (2.6.23.9-85.fc8)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.9-85.fc8 ro root=/dev/vg/slash rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.9-85.fc8.img
itle Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
--------------------------------
If you are in doubt you can always put several stanzas
for the same system, and see which works.

2) You don't need to use the --root-directory option.
This is for installing grub for a system that is not running.

3) I don't know how your system works,
but on my SCSI system (Fedora) I cannot have /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5 .
For historic reasons to do with IDE disks
I have to declare /dev/sda4 to be an "extended partition"
which is then divided into /dev/sda5 ... /dev/sda13 .

4) There are two precautions you could take.

a) Get Knoppix (Linux on a CD).
In my experience it is a life-saver if anything goes wrong booting.

b) I always save the MBR before installing anything on it,
with something like
dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr bs=512 count=1
Then if there is any problem I can re-install it with
dd if=mbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1

Partition troubles on a GIANT storage server

LVM isn't really that scary, and it affords you some flexibility that you
won't get with partitioning. I just put a box in a colo with 10 400GB SATA
drives. The drives are connected through an Adaptec SATA RAID controller;
two are hardware RAID-1 with /, /boot, swap, and an LVM partition to hold
Xen domU root filesystems and swaps, while the other eight are software
RAID-5 set up with LVM as a dumping ground for data. (I used software
RAID-5 because Adaptec's firmware won't create volumes larger than 2
TB...grr. I didn't buy these cards; I'm only using them because someone
else here bought them and a bunch of them are hanging around the office. I
would've used an Areca SATA RAID controller (we also have some of those on
hand and they will create >2TB volumes), but it doesn't appear to play well
with the Asus M2N-LR.)

As long as your volume groups don't span multiple physical disks, LVM is no
more dangerous than conventional partitioning. IIRC, some additional work
is needed to boot from a logical volume, so it's simpler to use partitions
for your root and boot filesystems. For the rest, it's simple enough...
something like this:

pvcreate /dev/sdb # introduce a physical disk to LVM
vgcreate foo /dev/sdb # add it to a new volume group
lvcreate -L 10G -n bar foo # create a logical volume in it
e2fsck -jL bar /dev/foo/bar # format it

Basically, you install some sort of boot loader on the USB stick (eg
Grub or Lilo) and create boot loader sections based on the contents of the
isolinux directory. Typically you'll need to copy the kernel and
initial ramdisk images from the CDs and look at the isolinux.cfg files
to get the right kernel command line options. What will then happen is
that each boot option will be listed by the boot loader (either
explicity for Grub or via the 'menu' option (or TAB key) for Lilo).

It is not really much different from creating a boot/rescue floppy or
CD. I believe there are a number of web pages about creating bootable
USB sticks (Google is your friend) -- mostly these are for creating
standalone Linux systems on a USB stick, but the same principles can be
used for what you want to do.

MS Project recurring tasks

Posted: 07 Nov 2005 05:56 AM PST

Hi Peggy

I am trying to recreate the scenario you have described but I do not get the
same results

I have created a recurring task - every monday for the next 5 weeks

I have expanded the recurring tasks by clicking the + symbol

I have created a task that has a dependency on the first instance of the
recurring tasks (in the predecssors column I can see the specific reference
to the individual instance)

The task that is dependent on the individual instance starts as soon as that
instance is scheduled to finish

Have you done anything different to this for your project?

Hope this helps ...

Hi toofan,

You can't change the information *directly* in the Relationship Diagram view
in the bottom pane, but you can modify task link types (FS, SS etc.) in the
Task Form View. When you initially split from the Gantt Chart view, the
Task Form is the view in the bottom pane. Click in the bottom pane and
choose Format > Details, and you can display Predecessors and Successors in
the task form.

As far as changing the color of task cells, I'm afraid that is impossible.
Unlike Excel, there is no "fill" color to change the background of a task
cell. You can change text color, size, etc through Format > Font.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

stop task durations from changing!

Posted: 04 Nov 2005 06:23 PM PST

Hi, John

Thanks. Yes, I periodically highlight the whole column of tasks, go to the
task dialog/advanced, and set the task type to fixed duration. It seems to
work to change it for all the tasks. Nonetheless, MS project changes
durations and splits tasks.

The doentation says it will change duration if you have resource
calendars, etc., so I also tried to put all that on the same calendar. No joy.

Anyhow, I soled the problem by brute force: created a new file, adjusted the
standard calendar, and copied over one column at a time as text. It solved
all three problems. It now resource levels, does not split the tasks, and
does not change the task duration. So, something must have gotten corrupted
in the original file that I could not change.

Regards,
Larry

stop task splitting

Hi, Jan

I don't think holidays were the problem, but the overall calendar use
appeared to be causing the trouble.

I started a new file with first resetting the standard calandar, and then
pasted all the stuff from the broken file. It works fine now, without
splitting or changing the durations.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Justin,
The only way I can te your scenario is if the 9/10/05 task has an
Actual Start date of 9/10/05. That effectively says the task has
"started" even though there are no resource hours. I suspect the task
has NOT started and the entry in the Actual Start field was either
inadvertent or manually inserted without really understanding what
Actual Start means.

Normally, leveling is applied prior to the project start (i.e. the user
is trying to adjust the schedule so no resource overallocations exist),
or it is applied to resolve overallocations that have crept in over a
period of time. In the latter case, task splits are to be expected (if
the option to split is selected under Tools/Options/Schedule tab).

In the absence of an entry in the Actual Start field, leveling WILL
adjust task start dates. In your case, the 9/10/05 task will indeed be
slipped out to 9/13/05 when the resources are available.

Hope this helps.
