Page numbers not updating from page to page

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 12:30 PM PST

I have a document with 65 pages. I inserted a page number field in the header using the F9 key, { PAGE }, but the number is the same on all pages. Shouldn't it be changing automatically on each page?

Can't insert a PDF into a Word 2013 document

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 11:09 AM PST

When I try to insert a PDF into a Word 2013 document, I get either an icon that states there is a PDF there or a text box with the title of the PDF. This never happened in any other version of Word I have used.

Can anyone explain how to overcome this?

Thanks,

Auto-populating Content Control (Document Property Quick Part - not document properties) Data in Word 2013

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 10:51 AM PST

i have a Office 2013 question which right now i am going to limit to Word.  i am looking to build some document templates.  i want to create a template document that i can fill in data one time and have it auto-populate throughout the document anywhere that data may be.  this has 2 elements that i am not sure how to do in concert together:

  1. create custom fields with tags that can be placed throughout the document and when i edit anyone of those tags, all other tagged text auto updates.  there is functionality for this already with the content controls under quick parts | document property.  if i add and reuse any of those, updating one will update all areas where that 'document property' is used.  however, when i create custom content controls (let's say for customer), that seems to break the behavior where the data in that 'document property' exists.  so basically, first i am looking for a way to add to the 'document property' items that can be found under Insert | Quick Parts.  if i could only do this one of the three, that would be a huge step forward.
  2. i would like to have all of these 'document property' list items show in a navigation pane in Word.  that way i don't have to go through the document but could rather just update that list in the navigation pane. 

i am not a developer though i have gone as far as downloading visual studio and trying to follow an msdn article.  but my development and tool ignorance is a limiting factor for that being successful.

if the answer is, 'you need custom coding' then i'm okay with that.  if we can do it native Word then that'd be awesome.  i do want to avoid using macros because at times i use these on locked down systems which prevent the use of macros.

very grateful for the help!

also, if anyone has any recommendations for a really thorough Word training class i'd love to know more.

Microsoft Word Printing in different shades of black

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 09:49 AM PST

In a document header I have a single line with black shaded background and abutting it in the document I have a black shaded header with text with an effect on it (glow).

Although they are set to be the same colour, the bar in the header is printing a different shade of grey than the background of the header.

Where the effect of the text appears to be overlapping the bar in the header, that is the same (darker) shade as the header background.

I have had this issue with different versions of Microsoft Office, (currently using both 2010 and 2013), and also with different printers (a Xerox Document Centre and a Canon ImageRunner).

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I have a document where all of my headers disappeared.

What could have caused this, besides my error? I can't see where I could have accidentally hid them or turned them off.

Hyperlinks in Word

Posted: 30 Dec 2014 06:59 AM PST

I have a word document that was sent to me and if you hover over an area in the table of contents it shows 'ctrl click to follow link' and I would like to remove these but if I right click on the line hyperlink does not come up in the drop down list.  Can you tell me how to find the hyperlink to delete.  If this was copied from another document would it show the hyperlink like that but not actually be there.  If I ctrl click they all take me to the top of the page and no matter where I click all of the table of contents is selected.

Hi,

Your solution is highly appreciate.

I have the Web Based Document Management System, the System has the three roles 

Here's the User Roles

1. Administrator ( Has the full control on the application )

2. Author : Person who develop the process document and upload in the Web Based Document System for Review

3. Reviewer : Who review the document and approve the document to publish

Once the Author upload the word document in to the Web Portal, The review will receive the document link in grid, Clicking on the link the document should open in PDF viewed in browser.

The word to PDF conversion is working in my local development machine, when i tried to deploy the Office PIA (Primary Interop Assemblies) in staging or production server the Word to PDF conversion is get failed and throw the com exception

Instructions for using Excel Data in a Word document/letter

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 07:35 PM PST

Hi. Very new here.

I do work for several organizations and have been using an old program - Lotus Approach - to store names, addresses, amount the member is to be billed, payment dates, etc. (Approach is a database program.) But while it still runs under Windows 8.1 (which I am running on an iMac), I am always afraid that it won't on the next version of Windows.

I also have MS Office Home installed, so I have MS Word and Excel. I can export the data from Approach easily into an Excel spreadsheet, but that won't give me access to my billing formats (basically in letter form) and various report formats and the ability to print mailing labels.

I believe that I remember that you can export Excel data into Word to print labels and - more importantly - print form letters. Can anyone direct me to somewhere that there are instructions on how to do this?

Thanks, 

Steve

Creating standard report in Project

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 01:16 PM PST

Hi Summer,

Below are two potential approaches you might consider. Play around with
them and discover some of the filtering options so you can set them up the
way you are comfortable. -Bill

My preference for generating these 'reports' is to use the Excel output
feature. Here is an example:

1) Go to File->Save As...->Excel Workbook. Enter a filename, then click
next and choose "Selected Data".
2) Choose "New Map" (once this process is complete, you can choose 'Use
Existing Map')
a) Choose "tasks" (you can play around with resources and assignments
once you get the hang of this). Also, choose "Export includes Headers".
Click Next.
b) In the Destination Worksheet name, type "All Tasks Forecasted to
Begin".
c) For the filter, choose "Date Range".
d) Add some fields (i.e. Name, Start and Finish)
e) Click Next.
f) Click "Save Map" and type a name like "All Tasks To Begin After..."
g) Click "Save".
h) Click "Finish".
i) Find the Excel file you selected earlier and you will find the
fields output the way you want.

The next time you run the report, use "Selected Map" so you don't have to go
thru all the steps listed above again. Also, during this process, you can
modify the map and save over it (maybe you wish to add more fields, adjust
date filters, etc.)


Another example of this would be to use the out-of-box reports in Project
Server. Modify or create a view in Project Professional and create a filter
to display certain information. This example will step you through
modifying the "Gantt Chart" view to create your reports. I will use the
Sample #1 again.

1) From the View menu, first select "Gantt Chart". Then, also from the View
menu, choose Table->Entry.
2) Add or remove any columns until the data for your report is displayed.
3) Go to View->Reports.
a) You could select a report that already requests a date range, like
Current Activities...->Tasks Starting Soon.
b) You could also continue with the rest of these steps...
4) Choose "Custom"
5) Click "New..." and name the new report "All Tasks To Begin After...".
(next time, your report will show up so you don't need to create a new one
again).
6) Make sure the Table area is set to "Entry" and set the Filter to "Date
Range...". Click OK.
7) Now you can Preview or Run your report.

As you will notice, using out-of-box reports is not quite as flexible as
using Excel. This is because the reports sometimes are difficult to fit on
one page or you want to edit the data or make other modifications that are
difficult unless you are using Excel.

Hope this helps,

-Bill

high level resource reports

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 10:50 AM PST

John
Thanks for the fast response. Let's see, any task might have all 4
categories or it might only have 3 or 2 categories. Also, the L (Labor)
category is the only resource group that is broken out by people that needs
to be summed. P, T, and C are already lumped together. To the other question,
Department 2 wants to see all the labor lumped together but since C, P, and T
are already one big "lump" per tasks it does not need to be broken down.
Currently, P, C, and T are resources that were created along with all the
employee names. So in my small example I wrote before our resource sheet
shows:
Mary
Sally
Chargebacks
Travel
Purchases

So I think MSP cannot see that the last 3 resource entries are not people
but are unique categories unto themselves. Does that help? Thank you so much
for your continued help!

Financial Week Number Shift Start

Thanks John

Shifting the production week won't work in this isnatance as I'm running a
pooled network with multiple projects, which will be ongoing across year
ends. So come September/October next year I'd be back in the same position.

Writing specialist VBA code is beyond my ability at this time and I can ill
afford the time.

So, exporting to Excel and converting the week numbers there was pretty much
where I had got to. Clumsy, but effective!

Hi,

Concretely you can do it this way:

Through Tools, Change Working time, New, create the number of base calendars
you need to reflect standard times in each geography (you could call them
"Western Europe", "Middle East" etc.)
Then in the resource sheet view, for each reaource, in the "Calendar"
column, select the desired "standard".

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 07:24 AM PST

Hi,

On top of John's precious advice: if it is really about updating (like
adding figures to work field f.i.) you will definitely need VBA. IMHO that
is the route to take from the start.

No WBS in Resource Usage view ??

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 01:39 AM PST

Easy.
There are THREE kinds of text fields, they are not linked to a VIEW but to
an OBJECT
Tasks have text fields, Resources have text fields and ASSIGNMENTS have text
fields.
Task usage shows Taks and assignments
Resource usage shows resources and assignments
(so task usage DOES NOT show resources and resource usage DOES NOT show
tasks!!!)
Assignment text fields thus are visible in both views.
Fill a text field (f.i. by coopying from a task field) in the task usage
view and it will be visible in Resource Usage and vce versa.

Sorry once again. It seems that I have found the answer on my own.

To associate a task with a custom cost through an Access database you need to
associate the TASK_UID in the MSP_TASKS table with the NUMBER_REF_UID in the
MSP_NUMBER_FIELDS.

thanks anyway

Cost Field vs. Customized Cost Fields

Posted: 31 Dec 2005 09:52 AM PST

Hello,

First off, thanks to you folks for responding to my sketchy question on how
to handle costs in Project.

I guess I forgot to mention that I am not using resources with any given pay
rate and instead I am just applying a cost for material and labor and
sub-totaling a cost for each task in my own custom field called 'Total Cost'.
It sounds like I will need to transfer these figures into Project's 'Cost'
field with a macro. In so doing, it would be my understanding that I would
be able to have Project's other cost related fields such as 'BCWP', 'BCWS',
'ACWP', 'EAC', 'VAC' and other earned value fields to receive their
respective values as a project's schedule moves forward.

Thanks for the link to the MVP site.

and Thanks for your help...

SJ Digriz,
You're welcome. Just for reference, at our company each program had
their own WBS that defined a structure for our Project files. An actual
charge number (as used by employees on their timecards) was the next
level below the WBS structure used for the program Project files. In
some cases a particular task in a project file might in fact be
represented by a specific charge number, but generally, the charge
numbers were too low a level for tracking in Project - that's what our
financial system did - and it was much better at it. In the case of
support/administrative effort from functional organizations, their
effort would show up in the actuals for the program but there was no
specific task in a program Project file that tracked their support. That
worked because their effort was generally minimal - after all, it was
just support. However any significant effort on the program, including
program management, program business personnel, etc. was represented by
tasks in a Project file. If the effort was not readily measurable, it
was shown and tracked as level-of-effort (LOE).

The above approach allowed us to keep Project files at a manageable
level yet had a full accounting trail for all program costs.

Earned Value Analysis: 50/50 Technique

Posted: 30 Dec 2005 05:35 AM PST

I agree with Trevor.
And I agree with John. It can balance out, it you have enough
overlapping tasks. Let's take an extreme example of what can happen
though.

Let's say you have one long duration (3 mo.) task that starts 1 month
into the project. While AV is acruing each month, we see no EV acrual
on this task until month 3 (2 months after it started and the first
month after it passed 50% completion). Such a task would work better if
it's a 40/60 or 25/75. Other lower cost tasks will somewhat dilute this
effect. But it could easity obscure some other problem EVA would
normally illuminate. On a 6 mo project, that one month of inaccurate
data could very easily be crucial to overall project success. This is
why granularity is so important in EVA. To some extent, this problem
can be minimized by doing EVA on weekly or bi-weekly basis on short
projects like this. But the issue should be addressed to make sure
you're getting what you need from doing your Earned Value.

Rob,
For your reference a dynamically consolidated master, (i.e. subprojects
linked to the master, which is the default), does not actually contain
the subproject tasks. The master simply contains a summary line
representing each subproject and a pointer to the actual independent
subproject file. That's why a simple export of the master will only
export data that is resident in the master itself.

There are a couple of ways around this limitation. One is to separately
export each subproject as you mentioned. Another is to use VBA to export
all the data (master and subproject) to another application (e.g. Excel,
Access, etc.). I use that method a lot. You could also use SQL directly
on the Project database, although I've never done that but for
reference, a description of the Project database structure can be found
on your hard drive - look for projdb.htm.

Yet another possibility is to create a static master. With a static
master, the subproject data IS inserted directly into the master and it
becomes one large independent file. However, a static master is a
snapshot in time because the subprojects are no longer linked and to
update, a whole new master needs to be created. External links between
files, if any, are not preserved in a static master unless a special
macro is used to convert them.

Hope this helps.

not any more. I had a discussion with businessobjects and they would be very
unhappy if mbs were sending out crystal 9.2.2 to everyone who asked. The
correct approach is to go to businessobjects and they will get the crystal
9.2.2 release for you

Hi Kim,

take a look at

Here is the Rollup 1 of MS CRM which include this KB Entry.

The other option which we use if this happend is, under

You should find the crmaddin.dll, just enable it, then the toolbar and the
folder will work. Maybe it takes some minutes to reenable and Outlook is not
responding.

I think you can use it for importing, I can't recall it being used

No exclamation mark shows in the bottom corner of the screen when I save and

Can you answer the first part of my last post?

seems it only exists in version 6 and you can't install that on a server 2000.

for now i can add the users in CRM application itself. so i'm not stuck.

thx a lot for the help Rob,
if you find out some more, please let me know. I will check with MS myself
and post the result here.
