Document saved as 2007 from 2003 compatible is 1/5 the size. Did I clobber the quality of my embedded photos?

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 11:54 AM PST

My original photo book was written using Word 2003 from Office.  I now have Office 2007.  I had to replace all the photos in my book with color modified photos of the same size and quality.  When I saved the document as 2003 compatible the size was 266,654 kb  when I saved it as 2007 it is now 51713 kb.

Did the 2007 compress (change the quality) my photos?  I next need to convert to PDF for the printing company.

Ctrl+A Suddenly stopped working

Suddenly, when I press Ctrl+A to select All when I'm in a Word 2010 document, nothing happens. It doesn't select and highlight the entire document as usual.

Display suddenly too wide?Word

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 11:30 AM PST

I should begin by clarifying - this occurs beginning within the last week - Word 2013 ONLY.  Checked Excel, Outlook, yada, yada.  The working display (even without a document open) has stretched itself approx. six to twelve points wider than the screen.  This problem is exclusive to Word (also checked ALL my other programs).  What am I not seeing here? (pun intended)?

Word 2007 - automatic intendation after a bulleted list

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 11:08 AM PST

Hi,

I have recently bought a new computer, on which I installed my previous Microsoft Word. Now all of a sudden, it automatically makes an intendation in the text after a bulleted list. I have never had this problem before, and after googling it, I havent found anyone else with this issue either.

This is what it looks like. What happens is: I write the first paragraph: everything is normal and it automatically starts in the left top corner. The 2 thingies on the ruler are on top of each other between where the ruler is blue and where it is white. Then I start a list. Everything is still normal and works fine. But then I press enter twice. This usually stops the list and makes the cursor go to the very left, so I can write another normal paragraph right under the first paragraph. But now it makes the cursor go under the bullets instead.

Now obviously I can move the 2 thingies on the ruler (sorry... my word vocabulary isnt perfect), which makes it good again. But as soon as I make another list or open a new document, it does the same thing.

I looked in the "autoformat options" in "word options" and changed a few things, which interestingly didnt have any effect at all (even when I unclicked "automatic bulleted lists" it still made bulleted lists), so I dont know if that has any relevance.

I also went into the paragraph options. I was able to fix it there too, but again: as soon as I made a new list or opened a new document, it went back to being annoying.

I would really appreciate any advice on what could be going on and how to fix it!

Thanks!

How do I show the page boundaries in Print Layout view?

How do I show the page boundaries in Print Layout?  It use to be Show Text Boundaries - now that option puts a boundary around every paragraph (very irritating to look at) - I make use of text boundaries for several things I do, most often in sizing tables to make sure they hit the boundary.

autoformat paragraph headings

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 07:22 AM PST

Out of the blue (when I reopened a perfectly operational file) Heading 3 in the document became just solid black infill and a black vertical bar appeared on the left side of the Heading 3 icon. After much messing about I somehow got rid of that but as you can see the 2.1.1 in Heading 3 has disappeared. In the document the paragraph heading appears but with no numbering.

I can find no menu to correct the problem. HELP please.

Works Cited and Biliography in One document with Word 2013?

Posted: 18 Jan 2015 03:05 AM PST

I understand that you can include a reference list or bibliography using the sources that have been added. If I add a works cited(reference) list I assume it only includes those cited in the text and not all from the master source list.  My tutor however would like an additional list of items read in a bibliography, how can I ensure that only the additional sources I want to include are added as a bibliography i.e is there a way to group my sources and select which I want in each.  I'm quite new to referencing with word so any help is appreciated. Thank You

Macro for changing paragraph color and font

Posted: 17 Jan 2015 11:31 PM PST

Hi,


I made
Selection.Font.Name = "Calibri"

Selection.Font.Color = RGB(15, 36, 62)  (it is easier, preferable for me to find and write as RGB format)

Later somehow I need something like

OldFont="Calibri"

OldColor= "RGB(15, 36, 62)" 

NewFont="Calibri"

NewColor= "RGB(0, 150, 0)" 

ParagCount = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count

For J = 1 To ParagCount

If  (ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(J).Range.Font.Name = OldFont) And _

      (ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(J).Range.Font.Color = OldColor) Then

      ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(J).Range.Font.Name = NewFont

      ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(J).Range.Font.Color = NewColor

End If

Next j

It did not work. Where are my mistakes?

Thanks and regards,

Why these BACKUP DOCX files in my new Word 2013?

Posted: 17 Jan 2015 04:28 PM PST

WHAT THE HECK IS GOIN' ON WITH MY NEW WORD PROGRAM AND THIS STINKIN' COMPUTER?

I've modified or created many more DOCs & DOCXs and they all seem to have behaved properly but I just found three listed as "Backup" and what's REALLY weird is that when I look down in the list alphabetically without that "Backup of" added to the file names, I find:

1. the 1st one is down below as a .DOCX

2. the 2nd one isn't down there at all but I remember renaming it without the words "if a" in the name and capitalizing WITHOUT DETAILS so that it would be easier to find later if I needed it.

3. the 3rd one, which is also a .WBK in that list above, is down below as a .DOCX

Spelling level needed for spell-checker to work well?

Posted: 17 Jan 2015 04:17 PM PST

My daughter is a dyslexic fourth grader and spells poorly.  The school is legally supposed to provide her special education services, but claim that "Kids don't need to learn to spell these days. Just use spell check!" as an excuse to try to get out of it.  This is nonsense because she spells so badly, spell-check can't figure out what she is spelling at all.

I know Microsoft uses readability formulas and calculations... Can someone at Microsoft advise what grade level of accurate spelling is necessary as a pre-requisite for spell-check to be a useful tool?  I know it can be hard to specify, but maybe an assessment such as "If you can spell at a 8th grade level (or a certain x Lexile level), spell-check will be 90% effective. At a 7th grade level (or y Lexile level), spell check will be 80% effective."

Any help you can provide would be great. I'm sure an email from Microsoft experts would be sufficient to sway my principal.

Longer term, I know the Gates Foundation is very committed to reforming education.  If Microsoft came out with some kind of analysis like this, you could publish/press release it to the whole country and do a massive favor to parents in my shoes. 

Thank you!

The "Auto complete" file names shortcut associated with opening a Word document has stopped working.

Posted: 16 Jan 2015 11:38 PM PST

* Not sure if this makes sense, but until about a month ago - whenever I would Open a Word document - typing the first few letters of its file name would result in the blank field being filled up with suggested file names already in the folder I'm trying to access, e.g., it was a "shortcut," - the blank field in which I would enter the file name would momentarily turn into a drop-down suggestion list of available documents in the folder - adjusting itself after each succeeding letter being typed.

* For example, if I wanted to get at a document with a long file name called, "poster inventories and frames.docx," until about a month ago, I didn't have to type every word in this file name to open the document.  Word 2010 used to "auto-suggest" (like Auto Complete) the names of documents to open based on the first few letters being typed.  I would then see suggested documents highlighted in blue - and I could click and instantly access it.

* It was like visiting a search engine that suggested words as you type, but occurring "offline" within Microsoft Word "open" function while searching and opening documents in the targeted folder.  BTW, I'm not talking about the Recent Documents function which lists frequently opened files.  The behavior I'm describing applied to any document I tried to open in a target folder, regardless of when it was last modified/viewed/created.

* I've searched everywhere for an answer and have come up empty.  I suspect it might have something to do with the normal.dotm file but I can't find any options for what I'm describing in the Word Options or Word Help sections in the application.

* I hope what I'm describing makes sense.  Anybody familiar with what I'm describing?  If you do, please let me know and thanks! 

Best, David in San Diego.

Installation error from source?

Posted: 29 May 2008 12:39 PM PDT

I'm getting the same error message, but it's on a new install. This utility
seems to be for cleaning up problems with an installation that is already
done, but this is not. I am trying to install Office 2003 on a new computer
so I can uninstall it from the old one. It keeps hanging on several *.CAB
files. I got past some of them by copying them from the old computer to a
temp location on the new computer and pointing the installer at that
location, but not all the files it is looking for are on the old computer. I
can see them on the CD in Windows explorer, but the installer can't find
them. I even tried to copy the file from the CD to the temp folder and
removed the hidden attribute, but it still wouldn't go. Is it possible that
the CD went bad setting in the box since I installed it before?

I even swapped CD drives with a known good one, in case that might be the
problem, since the new computer is a refurb, but still same results. Any
other ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

RESOURCE SCEDULING Microsoft Project

RESOURCE SCEDULING

Posted: 18 Jan 2006 07:44 AM PST

You can create the resource hierarchy by leveraging a custom resource
outline code:
- Tools --> Customize --> Fields...
- Custom Outline Codes Tab
- Select Resource radio button
- Rename an unused outline code
- Define the code mask (how many levels in the hierarchy, the format, and
the separator value)
- Define the valide values in the hierarchy

You can then assign each resource to a node within this hierarchy. This can
be done by adding the new field to one of the resource views or by
double-clicking the resource and setting the value on the Custom Fields tab
of the resource information window.

To set the capacity/availability of each resource, you have a two places:
- Set the overall unit availability on the General tab of the resource
information window.
- Update the resource calendar to define the working times for the
resource on the Working Time tab of the resource information window.

To view the planned work (demand) relative to the resource availability
(supply) you can then use the resource usage views. To roll-up the
information based on your hierarchy, you can group the resources by the
outline code:
- Project --> Group By() --> Customize Group By...
- Select your custom outline code in the field name section

At this point, you can customize the timescale usage section of the screen
to display unit availability, work availability or remaining availability in
addition to work...based on what your preference is. You can also split the
screen and use the resource graph on the lower pane to visualize the data
that you select on the top pane. This will probably require some playing
around on your behalf to find your favorite view.

Good luck!

Summary Task Availability

Posted: 17 Jan 2006 09:23 AM PST

Perhaps you can clarify what your client (and therefore you) want to
accomplish regarding resource management. There may very well be a way to
meet this need.

As to the original question, I will just add the clarification that asking
for Remaining Availability for a task, summary task, or project fundamentally
doesn't make sense. This piece of information relates to resources and and
is visible at that level only...which is probably part of your "doesn't get
it" comment.

John

resouce availability for a project

Posted: 17 Jan 2006 09:05 AM PST

Not to give you too many choices for how to accomplish the same result...but
you could also set the maximum units for the resources = 0.75. This field
should be on the basic Resource Sheet view, or you can double-click on the
resource and then set the value in the Resource Availability section of the
General Tab. This section allows you to quickly vary the availability over
time (e.g. .75 up to March 31,2006 then 1.00 thereafter).

This doesn't prohibit you from assigning the resource to work 8 hours in a
day, but the default assigned units will be 0.75 and if you load the resource
to 8 hours it will be shown as being overallocated.

Hi Mike and Haris,

Thanks for your help.

The reason why the summary task was showing duration is that it is
calculating the leg time, rather then just the number of the actual days. Is
there a way to set this up so it does not ad up all the working days in the
week during the task lenght, but just the actual days.

I am not sure if I was clear with my question (I managed to confuse myself).

Thanks for the reply. This is one of several issues I've had to
confront to which the answer has been the same (yes in 2003, no in
2002), I just have to extend my thanks again to Mr. Gates on the robust
life cycle of 2002, and the great licensing obsticles in 2003. I have
usually found an acceptible approach using 2002 without requiring users
to pay the price.

I'm trying to provide a cost effective, robust, primarily web based
solution and the release of 2003 just months after my purchase of 2002
would get me hung by management if I were to ask for money for an
upgrade especially with the requirement of professional on the desktop
to publish in 2003 environment.

Thanks Mr. Bill (right!!!)

But truly thanks to you Dale!!!
