Here are a couple of links to sites that describe how to do it in both Vista

I suspect something is set to the sleep or hibernate mode rather than
shutdown but it could also be a setting in the bios as well. The second
link shows info on that as well as more than I wanted to read about the
subject.

Word UserForms: Saving .addItem answers in an Array

Posted: 11 Dec 2012 10:48 AM PST

I have a number of UserForms where I have to use .addItem to populate comboboxes.

In some cases, I just create the .addItem entries manually in the Initialize stage.  In some other cases, I have Word VBA grab data from a local Access database.

In either case, this process can take a very long time, up to a minute.  It works, but it takes way too long.

It would seem to save time if I could save, on first use, the .addItems items in an array for the entire Word session.  While I use VBA quite a bit, I have no experience with arrays (and since some of the .addItem's have 2 or more columns, I'd need a multi-dimensional array).

How could I do that?

TIA

How to make table margins obey margin settings?

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 03:37 PM PST

Hello:

When you set page margins, and add a table to a page, you can drag the table edges outside the set page margins without "punishment" :-). How would you make the table edges obey the page margins? And/or where can you see the margin values for the edges of a table?

Sorry if this is simplistic, but I actually have never seen answers to the above questions, although I have only used 2010 for a while.

Hi,

 

I am working on a 15 page document.  This document uses a template that was created by our company.  In the document there is a field code at the top of every page "Style Ref" so that the title appears on the top of every page.  The field code reads {style ref "heading 3"}.  This works on every page except for the last two pages where it reads different text.  I don't know how this was corrupted.  I have tried to delete the last few pages and re-do everything.  I have locked down the field code so that it doesn't update but I need to correct this problem because after we finalize this we will re-use it to create several more documents that only replace a few elements of the original. 

 

I do not know that much about field codes except for what I have learned on this document so please point me in the right direction.  We are using word 2007. 

 

Thanks in advance

I have a document that contains a table of contents, header, and page numbers. Currently it is at 10 pages, and when I am on the 10th page, the numbering shows "Page 10 of 10". When I type/Ctrl+Enter to a new page, it shows "Page 11 of 10". There is a page after page 10 that is not part of the numbering, however (section break, I believe), so could that be the problem? Is there a way to fix this?

How to know number of lines in a selected text, not part of a table.

Posted: 07 Dec 2012 02:31 AM PST

Is there some way of finding starting line number and ending line number of a selection that is not in a table, or at least the number of lines in that selection.
I used Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber) to get the starting line number, but how to get the ending line number?
Even if we can find the number of lines selected, I can add it to the starting line number to get the ending line number.
I can't use Selection.Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber) as it works only for tables (it seems).

Works DB not showing many records for a mailmerge. Why?

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 12:43 PM PST

sorry guys - I'm near end of my tether . . I'm trying to do my annual/Christmas address labels and it's seldom troublefree. This year, my underlying data source, a Works database, is showing only a small portion of my 170 records. I've not had this problem before so I'm wondering whether it might be due, as administrator, to recently setting up a password/keeping files 'private' or perhaps because not all records have data in all fields or my .wdb file is corrupt. Any ideas will be appreciated.  I am using XP and preferably Word 2005.

Client unable to edit excel spreadsheet object

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 11:18 AM PST

Hello,

I've been asked to make a word document that includes an excel spreadsheet object for a client, but he's having issues trying to edit the object.

I've successfully managed to create the document including the object, and I'm able to edit it myself perfectly fine. But after I sent it over to the client he says he's unable to do so himself, saying he gets a message saying he doesn't have excel installed (He does have excel installed).

The error code is the following:

"The program used to create this object is Excel.  That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."

I've come to understand that it's a problem on his side because of the following:
  1. I've asked him to shut down all office programs he was using
  2. I then asked him to open up WORD
  3. I then asked him to create an excel spreadsheet object
  4. I asked him if he was able to edit this object, to which he replied he was able to.
  5. I then asked him to save the document, and exit word completely.
  6. I then asked him to start up word again, and load up the document to see if he was then able to edit the object, to which he replied he was not able anymore.
Would anyone know why this could be happening and possibly a way to fix this for him?

Kind regards and thanks in advanced,

Michael.

Using MS Word 2007 to print Christmas card labels. Made the Excel Spreadsheet last year and printed labels just fine. Follow the same process this year and cannot get anything to print.

I know the correct spreadsheet is in there because if I go to Edit Recipient List, the correct ones are there. So I make the final step, click "Merge and Finish", and then ask it to print. Only get blank sheets and it thinks each address is a separate page so it tries to pring 30 blank pages.

problem with text box converting word 2007 to pdf

Posted: 05 Dec 2012 12:24 PM PST

I converted a document from Word 2007 using Adobe Acrobat 9. The document converts but when I look at one of the pages that had 2 pictures on it, only one picture remains on that page.  That particular page has 2 pictures within one text box.

I went back to Word 2003 using Adobe Acrobat 9 and converted the document to pdf from Word 2003 and the document converts correctly with the 2 pictures on the page.

Is 2007 textbox NOT compatible with Word 2003 textbox?

I know a solution probable would be to just put the picture in two separate text boxes but that is not the answer to my question. If I had not double check the pdf file, I never would have known that this was an issue converting text boxes and my document would have gone out minus one picture. Everything else convertted fine.

Thank you for any response.

% ls -ld /tmp

notice the t at the end. Do not forget to set it.
And clear /tmp if eg. X fails. Just a plain old rm -Rf /tmp/* will clear
all permission problems you had after (incorrectly) copying data. It
is all temporary data anyway.

If you copy data, make sure all permissions are copied as well.

I think his instructions are too specific. For one thing, I don't
think /etc/rc.sysinit gets run on my system. The reason I say that is
because when I modify /etc/rc.sysinit, I'm still able to use my
system. When make the modifications to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit my system
goes to hell. It doesn't seem to like the fact that proc is not being
mounted.

Right now I'm using 2.6.3 and my system is usable. The only
problem is that modules don't load automatically.

Correct, yes. But mirroring the swap partition is pretty useless.
 

I'd stgrongly suggest splitting up your / partition a bit
further. At least, create separate /usr and /home partitions,

case of problems. While a RAID is fine, it doesn't cover
all kinds of possible errors. I just lost a perfectly
running system due to the fact that one of my
mirror drives died in the middle of a kernel update -
causing corruption on _both_ drives simultaneously. Ouch.

I could at least save all of my important data

No fun, though. And it took me 2 days to get everything

No. There's no gain in using the Promise card - it's just
an additional IDE card with _NO_ HW-Raid functionality at all.
Contrary to what Promise claims, it's pure software-RAID.

Sounds like you had a bad mixer setting. It is imperitive that you NOT
listen to the audio coming from the video capture device as myth runs it
through a small delay so that you can have such features as instant replay

If you pause the video, and you still hear the live tv broadcast, then that
is a pretty clear indication you're listening to the wrong audio source.

My SUSE Linux-XP problem--a clue?

I had same problem trying to make a backup boot floppy.

SuSe Support suggested the following:
- Log in as root
- Mount the 1st SuSE install CD.
- Put a blank floppy in drive
- The boot floppy image is at '/media/cdrom/boot/bootdisk'.
- Use command: dd if=/media/cdrom/boot/bootdisk of=/dev/fd0
(Explanation in /media/cdrom/disks/README)

But I haven't tried it yet!

Add vim icon to KDE panel

Posted: 25 Feb 2004 03:46 PM PST

On 25 Feb 2004 15:46:13 -0800, TCMa <ca>: 

Here's a trick that you can use over and over again, without having to
understand those complicated icon thingies. Click on the kterm icon
(looks like a computer display monitor). That opens up a window that
gives you direct access to any program on your system! In that
window, type "vi" and press the Enter key; now you're in vi, and you
didn't even need to use a mouse to start it!

You can do that with a lot of programs on your system - try it! Just
leave that kterm window open all the time, and you'll always be able
to start anything! If the program you want to start up is a GUI
program, just append a "&" after the program name, and you'll still be
able to use the kterm to start other stuff! Best of all, now you can
tell your friends you know what to do with a command line interface,
and you don't need no steenking mouse to do things!

Dual-Boot XP-Linux machine keeps crashing

Posted: 24 Feb 2004 05:23 PM PST

I get the same problem with xp the way i get around it, is this.
I install win 98 then install suse then i do a upgrade to win xp.
Works every time, but be warned if you first install suse with lilo
then reinstall with grub i found xp will crash hope this helps!!
But if you reinstall with the same boot loader you will get no problems
or you could install the boot loader to floppy disk.

accessing a cdrom & floppy

Posted: 23 Feb 2004 04:19 PM PST

On 23 Feb 2004 16:19:10 -0800, Goha <com> wrote: 

You could try:

$ mount /floppy

$ mount /cdrom

AFTER you have inserted a disk, and IF you have lines like these
in /etc/fstab:

/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0
0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto defaults,user,noauto 0
0

See man mount and man fstab

(the man pages are basically cheat sheets for experts, so don't freak if
they seem to be worthless -- google is your friend, as are we)

Studying the first nine chapters of http://rute.sourceforge.net would be
a very good idea.

I reinstalled because on the first time through I knew I'd picked the

How to add an fstab entry?

How to add an fstab entry?'s a cool scene! Dig it!
 

You have to create a mount point for your disk/device to be mounted
on. This mount point must be an actual directory that actually exists,
otherwise this won't work. You did create the directories to use as
mount moints, didn't you? If not, then do so. For example, if you want
the Thumbdrive mounted on /mnt/thumb, then issue the following command
before trying to mount it:

md /mnt/thumb

Simple, huh? :)
 

It's possible, but try the above first.
