Microsoft Word - Word 2013 List layers and font formating

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 List layers and font formating

Word 2013 List layers and font formating

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 03:37 PM PDT

I want to create a list where every lines content has a different font from the other lines. Whenever I go into the Modify Style dialogue for a style that I have created, I can easily change the font of a number on said list. However, this does not seem to change the actual line content of that level. For example, I can specify that the first level of my list to have Futura Light and the second level Helvetica Neue Thin (as shown in the picture). Whenever I type content into the list, the fonts won't match the actual font of the numbering on the list.

Is there someway where I can match the list content (i.e. what I type) with the font formatting of the numbering of the list? In other words I want to say: all type on level one should be Futura Light 16 pt, all type on level two Helvetica Neue Thin 12 pt.. and etc.

Word 2010 won't save files (Check the Temp environment variable)

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 02:01 PM PDT

When I open Word 2010, it gives me the message "Word could not create work file. Check the Temp environment variable" (in my local language). Effectively this means I cannot save any files. It won't give an error message about saving but it won't save either. The only way to close a file is to choose don't save. Upon closing the program, it also claims that changes have been made to the Normal template even when I haven't made any.

I've found various solutions online. I've already done the most obvious fix Microsoft recommends for this problem which is to check that the setting in Internet Explorer is correctly pointing to the Temporary Internet files folder. I've checked the registry for what it says under Cache, that information is correct. Another solution suggested to check the registry entry for AppData, but that was correct too.

I've also tried the Microsoft FixIt file for resetting user options and registry settings in Word, that did not help. I've tried repairing the install, no use. I uninstalled the entire Microsoft Office package and and then reinstalled it, but the problem is still there.

I have spent about ten hours on trying to solve this problem today, on a day when I had planned to work instead (I need Word for work). Any ideas for what I can do, short of purchasing a new computer?

Word 2013 will not work

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 10:38 AM PDT

When I open Word 2013 on my computer it says it cannot verify the license of the product, and it says to fix it in control panel.  When I go to control panel, and I click run programs for previous versions of Windows.  Then I click  that I am having problems with Word 2013.  Then, a few options come up, and I say the program requires additional permissions.  It does not work.  Help???

Problem with Word 2010 following updates

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 09:56 AM PDT

A problem with Word 2010 occurred after the latest Windows updates, which included revisions to Word. It will operate normally for awhile, but then will go into a mode where opening a document file (.docx) will result in another winword.exe process starting. I get one for each document that I open. When a document is closed, the following message appears:

"This file is in use by another application or user. (C:\Users.....\Normal.dotm)"

This is followed by a prompt to save the Normal.dotm file.

The winword.exe processes continue to run after Word is exited and the prompts are closed.

I renamed the Normal.dotm file and restarted Word. A new Normal.dotm file was created, but the problem didn't go away.

I tried the System file checker tool and it did not find any integrity violations.

Ending the winword.exe processes and restarting the computer results in normal operation—for awhile.

Is this a Windows problem or a Word problem and is it related to the updates?

How to exactly position text in Microsoft Word?

Why is the “Change Picture” button missing / disabled in Word 2013?

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 04:07 AM PDT

I'm working on a Word 2013 document containing mailing labels. (Well, actually I'm creating badges for a conference - but I'm using the mailing labels mail merge functionality for that.)

I created a picture and placed in in the background of the mailing label cell. Now I'd like to replace it with another picture without changing formatting settings, size or position. However, - as you can see on the following screenshot - the Change Picture button is missing from the Adjust ("Anpassen" in German) ribbon group on the very left.

I therefore created a custom ribbon group that I called "Bild ändern" ("Change Picture" in English) and added the Change Picture button to that group. (Also visible on the screenshot.)

When selecting my picture, the Change Picture button stays disabled. My question is: Why? And how can I enable it? (Or which other way can I replace it?)

Note: This is a copy of my question on Superuser. The first (but unfortunately wrong) answer pointed me towards this forum where I hope to find other answers.

Paste special - destination format - does not work in Word 2013

Posted: 21 Mar 2015 10:49 PM PDT

I have Word templates that I have created to match online forms that contain tables as well as text.  In the past, I have been able to copy and paste the online forms into my Word templates using "Match Destination Format" (paste special) with no problem because they look the same.  I was running Windows XP with Word 2007.  Now, I have upgraded to Windows 7 with Word 2013, and the "Match Destination Format" is no longer available.  I have read that the "Keep Text Only" option has become the new "Match Destination Format", but it simply does not work.  The tables disappear and the format is messed up.  Is there a setting somewhere that I need to activate/deactivate somewhere to get this to work right?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

What is the best Ribbon editor these days?

Posted: 21 Mar 2015 08:50 PM PDT

What is a good editor for the Ribbon for Excel/Word/PPT 2007-2010?

It's been a few years since I had to customize the Ribbon in an addin via a Ribbon editor. (I don't even have one any longer, and will have to DL one.) Back when I used them, I noticed some definitely better than others. Don't want to go through that again. 

What is a popular editor these days? What do you use? 

Thanks.

But maybe you allready se my problem, can word tables handle my split cells for this simple thing I want? Ok continue.


In the cell that is left side "100" and right side "200" the "totalkostnad för 2"= 350. I can count so I know it is wrong :P
How shall I do this if I like to had that work for real? Why is it in picture nr 1 corrected with B2 and B3 and then B4 and B5 mess up?

Here is also the same isue. But my biggest isue, cause this is what I really like to do but please help me with how to do on pic 2 also. Here I have "1550" and "420". Togheter the give me a "low price" trip so the "totalkostnad för 2" = 0. And again ofcourse thats wrong. I want to have it count it right.

Can somebody help me? And when this work, I want to do the same but with the "higj price" trip. "1750" + "450" =.... And atm it is "1750", "450". When I add more things, like hotell, airplane and so on I want the "totalkostnad för 2" to count it. I know that in older word you had oush F9, but that is not the problem here. But do I still need push f9, when/if somebody solve this for me?

Automatically record actual overtime

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 09:53 AM PST

Project can do it, but only in custom fields. Let's say you do 4 hours on
one task in a day and 6 on another. Which task should be charged the
overtime, one or both or none? There are way too many variables and other
scenarios where Project running on a computer with an IQ of zero could never
get the Overtime correct.

You could have a blanket VBA macro that went through every day for a
nominated resource and set to overtime all hours >8. That would of course
reduce durations and then you get another round of difficulties!!

Progress Summary of Milestone tasks

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 08:39 AM PST

Continuing with the previous posting by Jon... Since milestones represent a
culmination of a series of activities, we never place all the milestones
together in a summary task.

Instead, we use other tasks (Significant Accomplishments, Accomplishment
Criteria, etc.) which culminate in a Program Event Milestone. As the
previous post implies, loading work into these other actvities and taking
credit for them incrementally will provide you a roll-up into a summary.

I am guessing that you may have all your program milestones loaded into one
summary task and therefore allowing a brief report to management. Consider
other methods of reporting (you can always filter on Miletones) which allow
actually measurable work to drive the %complete on the summary level task.

Although I haven't directly answered your question, perhaps I've given you
an alternative way to present the data that will give you what you seek.

Garold,
In the scheduling world a flowchart is referred to as a network diagram
and yes, Project can create graphical representations other than a Gantt
chart. Take a look at the views: Descriptive Network Diagram, Network
Diagram and Relationship Diagram. Each offers a slightly different "cut"
of the data and they can be customized, although Project does not have
as much flexibility with its graphics as some other applications (e.g.
Visio) or add-ons to Project (e.g. Milestones).

Hope this helps.

Defining a Critical Path

Posted: 06 Mar 2006 03:09 AM PST

Adding to Mike's comment - there is a specific technical definition of the
term "critical path" in the project management world and MS Project
calculates it based on that definition. The critical path is the sequence
of tasks that determines the overall project duration. You can trace many
other pathways through the project, basing them on any criteria that you
might choose, but only the sequence of tasks with slack times of zero or
less can legitimately be called the critical path. You can choose to call
oranges "mini-basketballs" if you want to but no one else will understand
what you're talking about if you do. <grin>

how to calaculate an early start S-curve and late finish S-curve

Posted: 05 Mar 2006 11:16 PM PST


Steve House [Project MVP] wrote: 

I'd think there'd be 2 slightly different S-curves based on ES and LS,
but not on F dates. And unless there was a lot of total slack on a
significant number of tasks, they'd be pretty much the same. The LS
curve would be slightly to the right of the ES curve. Shouldn't be much
difference in shape at all. They'd both aculate the same costs. I
can't imagine where this would be of much use. Does the OP have an
example of where this would be useful?

Spunky --

In the future, please post your Project Server questions in the
microsoft.pubic.project.server newsgroup, as this newsgroup is devoted to
the Microsoft Project desktop application only. To answer your question, no
one will be able to give you an absolute answer why a project gets "stuck"
in checked out state. We recommend that you click File - Close instead of
clicking the Close button (X button) in the upper right corner of the
window, as this seems to reduce the number of times that projects get stuck.
Also, if you are using Project Server 2003, please stop asking your Project
Server administrator to check in the stuck project for you. Do it yourself
on the Project Center page, where you will find the "Check in my projects"
link near the bottom of the sidepane. Hope this helps.

Cole,
You don't necessarily have a lemon but even if you do, let's just shown
them and make some lemonade.

The fact that the creator of the file hid some columns is just what I
suspected. I thought I explained how to see for sure what fields are in
a view, (although not necessarily displayed), but I guess not so let me
try again.

1. Activate the view you are using for the compare (e.g. Gantt Chart
view).
2. Go to View/Table/More Tables
3. In the More Tables window, you will see the active view table
highlighted. Hit "Edit"
4. In the Table Definition window that pops up review all the fields
that are shown. If a field was hidden in the view by pulling over the
vertical column separator the column width will show a "0", however that
field is still "active" and will be tested when the compare utility runs.
5. Simply "Delete Row" of any fields you do NOT want as part of the view
6. Finally, hit "OK", then "Apply" and run the compare again.

Hope this helps.

Julie, thanks for getting back with me again. I've been able to open the
Project files on my home computer, running the same version of Project.
Others at work have been able to open the files I have not been able to open.

I've done the "detect and repair" action. I've uninstalled Project and
reinstalled it. So far, no joy. Still get the blank while screen, though
the header shows the file is open and Project asks me if I want to save
changes, so it appears to be opening the file, it just won't show any of the
data in the file on the laptop.

I don't know of any new software that has been installed since I last opened
a Project file successfully. I keep the system updated with Windows and
Office updates; those are all that I know that have gone on to the system
recently.

Thanks!
