Microsoft Word - placing pictures in a 3 column newspaper format

placing pictures in a 3 column newspaper format

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 11:25 AM PST

I am putting together a letter in 3 column format with 1 picture in column 1 and 2 pictures in column 2.

 When I put text in column 3, after entering several lines of text the picture in column 1 is shifted to the second page.

 How do I stop this?  

Thanks

How do you PERMANENTLY set Word to use inches?

Posted: 24 Nov 2012 09:54 AM PST

Every time I open a New Word file, I have to go through the process of changing my units of measurement display.

I KNOW how to do that:

Office Button > Word Options button > Select Advanced in the left pane > Scroll to the Display >

Show measurements in units of > choose Inches > OK

BUT how do I KEEP these settings so I don't have to repeat the process every single time?

Word 2007 toolbar, i.e. HOME, etc. covers top of document upon opening and then disappears when typing starts

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 05:05 PM PST

Upon opening a document, new or edit, any item, i.e. Home, covers the top of the document for about an inch, and will disappear completely if I start typing.  If I click "Home" or another heading again, the menu items reappear, but then will not stay open so I can edit without having to keep repeating this procedure.  I had this happen once before and found the resolution by accident but cannot seem to find what I need to click on now.  HELP! 

I can work around it but it is a real pain.  Thanks for any advice you can give me.

"This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" - Please help, but no the problem has nothing to do with activation or a temporary use of the program.

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 11:17 AM PST

I use a registered copy of Word 2007. It is not a trial version and has been activated for quite some time now. I edit books for authors using Word's Track Changes function, but over the last couple months, Word has developed a very frustrating problem that makes me want to throw the computer out the window at times. When inserting comments that go more than a sentence or two in the reviewing pane, or if I have to delete a letter in the comment, it will stall up temporarily and "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" will appear along the bottom bar of the window. After leaving it a minute or two, I can type another letter or two, or delete a letter, then wait for the repeated "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked" to disappear again. Then repeat the process again. This is an arduous problem that needs to be remedied. Anyone have any ideas of the cause and/or solution? Computer is running windows 7 home with 4gigs of ram, so this shouldn't be a ram or hardware issue.

"you don't have permission to open this file"

I tried to follow the directions in the "privacy settings", by allowing the group "Everyone" to have full control rights, but it still doesn't work. These are all of my old files, stored locally on a fixed HD.

Jim,

You should be able to include masters into a "super" master. Then you
can filter by resource. You won't be able "sort" by resource, because
the Gantt chart is a listing of tasks, not resources.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

How to create subtotals for groups of tasks in some report or view

Posted: 26 Apr 2004 08:29 AM PDT

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.

Another problem is when I use grouping in the Gantt View
on resource names. If there are 2 resources assigned to
the task then the view will group this as a separate row
even though the first resource is listed previous by
themselves. Any way to overcome this ?

Thanks,

Tarikblue,
It's not clear what you mean by "variable costs". If you mean resource
rates that change over time, then go to the Resource Sheet and select
the resource for which rates need to vary. Then hit the Resource
Information icon, or Project/Resource Information. Select the "Costs"
tab and enter the necessary data into the rate table.

Hope this helps.

It's about as useful as any advice will get. Sorry, but I'm sure the
qualifying upgrades versions were documented on the box. You could have
looked before opening, I guess. I recall it's on the spine of the box.

Only better suggestion is to ask around the office for someone with a
copy of Project 98, or buy a used on somewhere, e.g. eBay.

leveling

Posted: 22 Apr 2004 12:06 PM PDT

You've done that already by setting the leveling to day-by-day. That
setting controls the finest level of granularity the leveling engine will
pay any attention to. The red remains to let you know the resources
affected are still overbooked, albeit for less than a full day's period. If
you want to get rid of it, try leveling on hour-by-hour. Before you decide
just to ignore less than day-by-day, you might give some thought to whether
it's wise or not. If Bill is overbooked by a 15 minute overlap between two
tasks I'm not going to worry about it much either. But if he's scheduled to
wax widgets for 8 hours plus polish fids for 7, that's a signifigant
schedule conflict and I probably should resolve it because he can't do both
at once, thus one will finish a day later than I'd planned for if I don't.
Remember delays can be cummulative - 3 hours here and 4 hours there soon add
up to a project that finishes a month later than you promised the boss it
would - not a resume` enhancer.

MS Office Already in Use?

Well, I am sorry, that error is totally specific :-) There is a Mac
somewhere within sight of your network that is running Office that was
installed with a Product Key that exactly matches your.

Your little brother couldn't have knocked off your disk and hidden one under
his bed, could he? :-)

What do you mean by "An old versions' code?" It is the Product Key that is
the issue here. You should not be able to install Office X and Office 2004
using the same product key. But if you were able to, you would get this
error.

I would suspect your sister's machine. Run the Office Remover on that.
Chances are, someone tried to "Register" the free trial on your sister's
machine, using the code from your CD. If they did, registration would have
failed, but the key is still stuck in the registration module and is thus
causing the error.

HELP trying to open Microsoft Works document from PC on a Mac

Posted: 24 Jan 2007 09:17 PM PST

Hi Bob:

Sorry, Michel's right. I think yours is the 3rd request for a Works
converter for Mac in the past 12 months. Out of 300-million Microsoft Users
that's not a *high* priority.

If we had 100,000-odd requests for it, then it might be a "major oversight".
As it is, of all the many things Mac Business Unit could spend our money on,
that one is not up at the top of the list.

Word for OS 9 has a Works converter in it. Current versions of PC Word have
a Works converter. And the current word-processor in Works is Word, which
will convert the old version of Works to RTF, which can be read anywhere,
including the Mac.

Cheers

Office 2007 Translator missing a LOT of languages

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 06:36 AM PST

Hi,

Had a computer crash a couple of weeks ago and had to re-install my Office 2007.  Just went to use my translation portion of Word for the first time and found a HUGE gap in my languages.  I have English, French, and Spanish.  That's it.  I have used the program in the past for Chinese (Mandrin and Cantonese, Russian, German, Romanian, Dutch, and others).  Those are just a few off the top of my head.  I deal in an international business that sometimes requires international translation.  

I did a 'repair' on the program and made sure everything was installed.  Anyone got an idea?  I know those languages are in the program, I just need to know how to get them back.

Thanks,

Marie

Help with section breaks please...

Posted: 23 Nov 2012 05:35 AM PST

I'm rather lost on this....I have a document which has 5 pages.   I have to insert a neew front page and add text.   I have to insert page numbers to pages except the new front page  and the last page.  I also have to add a header on each page except the front page.   I've tried doing this different ways, have read so much that I'm completely lost!

Am I right in thinking I have to insert a section break at the top of document to insert a new front page?  I have tried insert a new page but I end up in a muddle!   Also, the last page has to have a section break to the left of the text at the top of the page?

If anyone has the time, would they mind giving me step by step what to do/click on etc?  I'm baffled!

Addresses not printing in correct position on DL envelope

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 07:56 AM PST

I have Word 2007 installed as part of MS Office 2007 Professional on a desktop PC running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and also installed on a Notebook computer running Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit).

I have been able to use Word 2007 to print DL envelopes with a normal delivery address in the centre and a return address in the top left corner. 

Recently when trying to print an envelope on the desktop PC, when opening the Mailings-Envelopes menu and using my normal envelope and printing options, the envelope is printing with the addresses printed in positions opposite to that shown on the icon displayed in the printing options and also the return address block is indented in from the edge of the envelope by about 3 cm.  Using the "Add to Document" button certainly shows the whole return address block in a separate section at the top of the page offset in from the left side of the page.  The Return address settings in the envelope option shows it is set to Auto from Left and the Preview icon indicates it appears in top left of envelope.

Using Word 2007 on my Notebook there is no problem with the positioning of the address blocks on the envelope.

I initially thought it could be a corrupt global template file Norm.dotm on the desktop so I copied the Norm.dotm across from the Notebook to replace the file on the desktop, but the problem still exits.

I did try using another envelope size and found that most of the other sizes do not create the problem. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 on my desktop computer, but the problem still remains.  I am puzzled over what may have suddenly caused this problem in a specific installation of Office when it was working perfectly before.

SPI in Project 2000

Posted: 22 Apr 2004 12:16 PM PDT

Stevie,

I think I did.
You need to enter the formula correctly - exactly like this:

[BCWS]/[BCWP]

in a spare user defined field.

Step by step:
From insert menu select column
pick the text10 field (if it is not already used)
click OK
Now rightclick on the text10 column header
select customize fields
click on the "formula" button
enter the formula above
At this point you can rename the field to SPI or do other things.
click OK.

Row Numbering

Aarti,
Three other suggestions beyond what Andrew offered. First, check to see
if the tasks are sorted by something other than task ID. Second, if the
file is a master file with inserted subprojects, try opening the
subprojects and then use the "Show subtasks". Third, if the file has
external links to another file, check the setting of Tools/Options/View
tab and ensure that the two check boxes for external predecessors and
successors is checked.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to all that replied.

I had tried to re-enter all the actuals as Gerard has suggested by redoing the plan, but that did not work. Finally I figured it out. I had to change some options under the calculation tab.
1. Actuals costs are always calculate by Microsoft Projec
2. Uncheck Move End of.... and Move start of.....
3. Default Fixed Cost acruals ---> "Prorated" instead of "End

I changed all these and it started working.

Thanks to all.

You can't shade columns but you can change text color/style.

Accrual of costs

Posted: 21 Apr 2004 01:51 PM PDT

IMHO, task costs are not showing when PAYMENT is made, they show when
the liability is posted into the project budget. How does your 50/50
rule function when you pay 50% of 100 man-hours at the start, work 50
hours, and find that you are going to need 200 hours more to finish for
a total actual cost of 250 man-hours. The primary purpose of the cost
data is to provide budget estimates, cash flow requirement projections,
and monitor project progress metrics - it is not a client time and
billing application nor a accounts payable and receivables or revenue
tracking. It doesn't deal at all with when costs are paid, only when
the work that they're buying is required to be accomplished.

Multiple Resource Pools

Posted: 21 Apr 2004 12:02 PM PDT

I would put all the resources into one Resource Pool. You can use Resource Groups to identify the different departments

Hope this is helpful

I am using MS Proj. 2002 Standard. I have created
resource pools for all sections in our development
facility. I have a master schedule comprised of about 50

one resource pool per project? Such as

Res_Pool_
Res_Pool_
Res_Pool_

Can Project 1 use resources from Res_Pool_A, Res_Pool_B,
and Res_Pool_E

All Suggestions welcome

Why in the world do you want to cripple your PM's? Why give them a tool
and then prevent them from using part of it?

Calendar Changes

Posted: 21 Apr 2004 01:38 AM PDT

Good Morning

I agree, and when I realised invoice periods were involved I pointed this out. I think billing periods have just become standard calendar type, partially reflecting the influence of the finance group in every aspect of this organisation

Change Word to use ambidextrous quotes for everything

Posted: 22 Nov 2012 02:37 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having to frequently change smart quotes to simple ambidextrous quotes in content that gets sent to me. I've unchecked the 'Straight quotes with smart quotes' checkbox under AutoCorrect options. This makes word use simple quotes when I type but pasting text will keep the smart quotes if there are any.

Is there a way to get Word to use simple quotes for everything? I don't really want to be using the replace feature all the time.


Thanks

Problem with margins when I copy & paste a document into template

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 10:18 PM PST

I have created a template that has one header on the first page and a different header on the following pages.  I used the developer section to insert content control boxes into the template.   

I have set margins, font, size, etc..  The template looks just as I want.  BUT when I copy & paste text from a previously saved text document into the body of the template, it does not follow the default bottom margin that I set at .7.  It leaves margins far greater than .7, and they vary from page to page.  I would like all of the bottom margins to be consistent.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!!

How do I get the full page to show after it was accidently shrunken

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 08:17 AM PST

When I try to create a document, the display shows that the page has shrunken to about 3 by 7 when the original display was 8 by 11 size.  I notice that I somehow drag my hand over the mouse pad and it shrinks the page size and zoom.  Normally, when I'm not in ms word, I just reset the zoom to 100% and that fixes the problem every where else. However, it does not display tools on the ms word document.  Please help me get the page back to the original size.  Incidentally, the page size icon shows that it is the right page.  This problem is not about the font size but how do I get the word document to open up as the full page size so that I can begin my document?

printer error - office 2010 - Windows 8

Posted: 21 Nov 2012 07:42 AM PST

I am attempting to print using office 10 (Word) but am getting a non specific message, "there was an error printing," each time I attempt to print.  Troubleshooting has not detected any errors with the printer, and the printer itself is not showing any errors or issues either. 

 

I have just added this printer (driver) to my computer but have not yet been able to successfully print using it.  A co-worker who is using the exact same computer (both new last week) - his computer detected the printer automatically and has had no issues.  Searches for the device on my machine came up blank, and I've had these issues since attempting to add it manually through Window's driver list. 

 

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mail merge with database field

Posted: 19 Nov 2012 07:49 AM PST

Dear all,

I have a mail merge document connected to an Excel-workbook which is fed by several Microsoft Queries with parameters.

1) If I enter a database field into the Word-document I get all the fields and records in the table - even if I append the query by 

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '3')) 

or

WHERE ((`volgnr5` = '{MERGEFIELD volgnr5}'))

It seems Word does not react to this statement.

I have entered the extra space before the first komma after the select, so those errors are gone.

2) If I remove a fieldname from the query the database field stops showing anything.

Please help.
