Selecting gradient fill for text of certain fonts makes the text disappear

Posted: 16 Dec 2012 11:50 AM PST

Suddenly I've noticed that the text of certain fonts has stopped working in my Word 2010.

The text of these fonts (Helvetica and Proxima Nova) suddenly disappear after I change their colour fill to gradient. I can see the text sometimes when resizing, but then when I select the size, they disappear again. I can select text, but can't actually see it. It happens in both text boxes and when I type to the actual document itself.

Does anyone know what I could do to fix this? The problem has just suddenly happened when it was working fine for years before.

I've tried the repair function in control panel, but the bar gets so far (about 50%) and won't go any further. I've left it for a few hours and the bar hasn't progressed any further.

I would appreciate any assistance give to me to fix this problem I have.

Thank you.

Installing Office Prof. Edition 2003?

Posted: 14 May 2004 10:46 PM PDT

Do you have any disks for the Office installations on your other computers?
The OEMs should have provided you with the installation disks - when you try
to install Office 2003 and it asks for your previous qualifying version,
just plop in the old disk, point the installation to it, and you should be
good to go.

Office 2000 setup failure

Posted: 14 May 2004 05:43 AM PDT

Hello Tonyo,

The issue may cause if
1. The CD is not clean OR
2. It is corrupted.

So, the options to resolve the issue are:

1. Clean the CD and try the installation again. OR
2. Copy all the files from the CD to a folder on the Hard disk and try the installation from there OR
3. Run the installation from another Office 2000 setup CD.

If you want to retain the administrative installation of your earlier
Office product, move the files in the administrative folder into another

earlier Office product back into the same folder.

Office Professional for Windows 95

Posted: 11 May 2004 10:14 PM PDT

If you have MS Office v7/95 then the yellow sticker should show 11 digits along with the "CD Key" words and there wouldn't be any
product activation.

If you have Office 2000 or later you're installing you would have 25 digits.

Are you sure that the CD you're using and the program that's popping up are all from the same version? Check in Add/Remove Programs
in the Windows control panel to see what Microsoft Office applications and versions are listed.

Automatically Opening Images in WORD from Another File

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 06:53 AM PST

I have a large WORD document - a book manuscript - that has some 250 illustrations.  I originally inserted these images into the WORD document, but it became too large for WORD to open.  I saved it but could not open it.  I solved this problem by removing many images and placing them in a separate file.

I can create a hyperlink to the images in this file but it shows as underlined blue text.  When I click on this hyperlink, it opens the file with Adobe Fireworks.

How can I code the hyperlink so that it opens in the document as I open a page and then disappears when I go to the next page.  I need to be able to see the illustration when I am looking at the particular page, but want only the hyperlink in the WORD document to keep the size small enough to save and open in WORD.

Thanks very much!

Word 2013, Use and purpose of "Show Comments?"

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 08:24 PM PST

In Word 2013 on the Review Tab>Comments Group, there is a contol labled "Show Comments."  On my PC it is dimmend and I've tried everything that I can think of to enable this contol and (I guess) toggle contents between shown and hidden comments.

 

When I insert a comment, they are either shown in a ballon on the right side of the document or inline depending on my setting in Review>Tracking>Show Mark-up>Balloons.

What is the purpose of this control?  How is it activated?  What determines when it is active or disabled?

Templates in Word

Posted: 17 Dec 2012 08:45 PM PST

Hi all,

I'm using Word 2010 with Windows 7, 64-bit. One year ago I wrote a manual in Word 2007 for a company. Last week, they needed to re-purpose the manual, that is, make a copy of it, edit it, and then send it to me for a final edit. So here's the document's path in the past year:

1- Designed on my computer using Windows XP, Word 2007, and the Normal template. (Clarification -- I just upgraded my system to the one mentioned earlier back in the fall.)

2- The document (written in Windows XP, Word 2007, and the Normal template) is sent to my client, edited, and then sent back to me.

3- The client loads it on their computers and performs their edits. They use Word 2010 and three engineers add coments.

4- They save it as a .docx file (the same as the orginal), and then send it back.

5- I make a copy to work on. (I never work on orginal docs, just in case of a major error.)

6- The copied document is loaded on my new computer (Word 2010 with Windows 7 64-bit) for editing.

 

Problem -- When I scroll through the document, the pictures and tables become segmented, that is, table rows split up and "hang" on the display appearing as though they've been duplicated. It gets worse the more I scroll. When I close the document and re-open it, all's well. The data is intact, but the same thing happens. The document is not workable.

 

My solution -- I opened the copied document (remember -- this is the one the client edited) but saved it as an .rtf file. Now when I open the .rtf file, it's workable and the problem has pretty much gone away.

 

My thoughts --  Did my document pick up some template anomaly from the client's Word versions? Can shared documents between several computers undergo template layering, that is, where two or more templates combine?

 

Between this problem and Microsoft's pathetic bullet and numbered list style issues, I'm ready to tear out my hair! The whole world needs to move over to FrameMaker! End of rant. Many thanks in advance.

 

- Lee

How to boot Fedora from XP NTLoader?

Posted: 31 Mar 2004 07:33 PM PST

Thanks for all the advices and help. Really appreciate them a lot.

Few days ago when I did this installation, it took about 1 hour. The
system works out of the box. It correctly detected my video card, LAN
card, even my thumb drive works out of the box. It's really amazing
how good Linux is now!

So, I decided to reinstall Fedora, because I haven't done any
customisation, it's still in the fresh install state. And I also want
to learn to do it right from the start.

will still work.)

When you do this, if you have the symbolic link pointing back *up* by even
one directory, you guarantee that stuff that follows that symbolic link down
is going to start recursing. So you can put a link in "/tmp/tmp" that
actually links to "/tmp".

Now try doing "cp -r /tmp ~/tmp", and watch the recursion go nutso and
create ~/tmp, ~/tmp/tmp, ~/tmp/tmp/tmp, etc.

20 basic Linux newbie commands to identify the system

Posted: 31 Mar 2004 04:26 PM PST

I believe it was mike who said... 

None...it just works. Just like on a Mac or Windows.
 

None... just supply your gateway and DNS information like on any other
system.
 

Just plug it in like any other system.
 

No, we dont get your point. You dont have a point... only FUD.

Damn I had forgotten about it. Thax a bunch !

I got a little problem setting it up though :

On the server,
I created the export file to the right directory.
then ran the nfs daemon, (checked it, it is running)

On the client,
My kernel supports nfs.
I created in (clientside of course) the /etc/fstab the following line :
hermes.maison:/home/multimedia /mnt/multimedia nfs rw 0 0

but, when I issue the mount -a command, I get :
mount: RPC: system error on host target - Connexion refused


I must have overlooked something....

Your suggestions please ?

Are you sure that's where you want to install lilo? You need a second
boot loader like that. boot=/dev/hda is the mbr.
 

As Michael Heim mentions, upgrade lilo, RH7.2 has an old version.

partition problem (partition table issue)

Okay.
 

Good idea, but it isn't particulary useful at this junction for him.
 

Huh, he wants to recover data, not destroy it. The fs exists and may be
fine, he needs to recreate the partition table. mkfs will remove the
directory structure, it also has nothing to do with creating partitions.
 

Useful in case of an accidental mkfs, not for a missing/corrupt
partition table.
 

Whether he does or not doesn't matter, this isn't COLA.

And please don't top post.

There are programs out there that will attempt to reconstruct your
partition table. If you can get back into linux, man lilo [-U]
I'm unsure if boot.0300 contains partition table or not.

If the only critical data is on the Fat16 partition and it was
/dev/hda1, use fdisk to recreate the partition so it is larger than what
you had before. Back up data and fdisk, do a

dd if=dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 bs=512 count=4

reboot and reformat. Windows will reformat to the previous size if you
don't zero the first sector even if you change the partition size.

If you need to get info off of other partitions you'll need to find the
start of the partitions and recreate a partition that starts there.
(before formatting of course.)

Good Luck and once you are back up and running implement a back up
policy.

In addition head over to http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html and
grab(download) both the foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswrapper files. Copy
them to your /usr/bin location and with both of them issue the command as
root 'cmmod 755 foomatic-<the_rest>' without the quotes. And finally issue
the commands (again as root);

service cups restart
/usr/bin/enable <printer_name>

Use; http://localhost:631/printers to figure out the <printer_name> if

QuickLaunch

Posted: 30 Jun 2004 07:04 AM PDT

Okay, Now i understand ;-)

@Kevin

Thanks,
Allthow this is not gonna help him I beleave, if he has
Group policies, he has to set those Priviliges for the
user accounts. If they are standard you can not "alter
the Quick launch" options.

And it is indeed a neglectable task to have to alter this
for each user everytime when they want to add one.

@Frank

1.Release the taskbar for the group of users, so that
they can alter it.
2.Release drag & drop options too on desktop.

If ya dont know where to find them I can tell ya but i'd
had to wait till i'm home to look maself for the exact
path! Ain't got Admin rights on the job ;-)

Interesting that the Suite is still using Word 2002 instead of the latest
version.

Administrative account

Try pressing "F8" repeatedly when Windows is first booting. That will bring
you up to the boot screen. Choose "Safe Mode". That will give you the
Administrator option.
