i'd like to add that this would be a pretty bad decision.
much better would be seamless integration with email, calendar & project
management software.
there are some pretty decent email & calendaring apps, and i've heard
that also some of the project management apps are pretty usable.
cooperating with them (preferably in a common way) would be much better
and would require less resources than rewriting from scratch
applications in some of the most mature application markets (email).

True, but it does take several minutes to start up so if you want to use

Strange you should say that, I used draw for the first prototypes of the
new house we built next door for my son and his partner. I dare say
there are some other things out there with lots of fancy pre-defined 3-D
house configs etc. But draw did what I needed.
 

Well not yet having met a Linux virus I don't really know but I have a
fair bit of experience of Windows varieties that come for free. I
definitely think in terms of software volume and variety, Windows beats
Linux hands down for viruses.
 

Its interesting how few people you ever come across using voice
recognition software. Bit disturbing in an office environment apart from
anything else.

 
 

Actually I was told my in car satnav is Linux based. Why would I need
that on a computer. There is actually a Linux based cell phone with
built in satnav and then there is the open streetmap project
http://www.openstreetmap.org/
 

The mind boggles - I'm sure it gives some people a lot of pleasure ;-)

[discuss] Compatibility

I don't take things that hard in this world. I would be in really shape.

I do agree with compatibility issues between any application. I run
into it almost daily. I just use the tools that work for me that are
the most productive. I wouldn't use Word to edit text either. I would
use WordPad or Notepad if I was editing a text file that I was going to
leave as a text file.

My wife uses Mac, Linux and Windows and OOo is the best across all
platforms. Even MS Office between different Windows machines was
problematic as you have stated. I ran into the same issues with Office
2000 myself.

You did bring up an interesting point on saving a file in an older
format as to what would change. Maybe an improvement to the "Save As
XXX format" could have a "further information button" to explain what
would be lost or changed. But that still would not fix the issue of
saving as a the current format and there being a machine dependent
difference causing issues. Just as you mention the problems you had.

I for one wouldn't like to lose formatting features on imported files
because I will save the documents in odf and then when I am done my
work, export it to the format(s) I need then. In many cases pdf is the
first selection, then the office formats and lastly, text based. In
some cases, all of the above for the same document for different reasons.

I have many paradox databases that are not directly usable by me. This
is one of the nice reasons for using odf which is an open and
standardized file format.

At least with odf I can read the documents on Linux, mac or Windows.
Anything that can unzip the file and read XML can read an odf document.

[discuss] Nonprinting Characters

Posted: 31 Jul 2006 10:44 AM PDT

Hi Eicke
 
If a user puts two or more spaces to an end of a line he cannot see his
mistake. But that is the only sense of that visualization. If the user
adds text before this invisible space mistake the spaces slide into the
row and become visible _in the document_. The problem is, that the user
has - with the current configuration of space display - needs to counter
check the whole document for such mistakes each time he inserts text in
the middle or at the beginning of their document.
 
So what - they are invisible in the printed or clean version. The way
the document looks with the invisible characters turned on is of
secondary importance as you will always send it printed out or as pdf or
in any other clean version. The editor in text processing software is a
tool for editing not for viewing.
 
 


Oh ja, I see it is taken care of already :o) Sorry for bothering you
with that.

OOo Writer currently have a windowing system that lets you see different

No, there was only one version of word which created ".doc"s which were

On "word 5", word 5 should be openable in OOo without any problems.
Being word 5 should be autodetected and opened without anything special
needing to be selected. The Word 5 format is very similiar to the word 6
format, except that everything is contained in a single stream which is
not embedded inside an ole2 wrapper. While Word 6 is all in a single
stream "WordDocument" which is inside an ole2 structured storage
wrapper, and Word 97+ where the WordDocument stream was split into a
number of streams, WordDocument/0Table (or 1Table) and Data streams.

And from 2.0.2 onwards, also the old Word 2 format is also capable of
being opened.

If you are using a Mac you most likely mean the newsletter generated by
Microsoft. This newsgroup really has nothing to do with that. Your best bet
is to contact MS directly, but other than the How-tos I'm not familiar any
available online archive of the newsletters.

PC Office has a similar newsletter, but that is also a question best posed

You're talking about Office being installed on two different machines,

When your user tries to use the Microsoft AutoUpdate application is she
behind a proxy server at the time? I've found that while Microsoft
claims the updater should work through proxy servers it doesn't (at
least it doesn't in our environment where we have a Microsoft ISA proxy
server -- oh, the irony). I've found that businesses are better off
downloading and running the installer manually or updating a single
Microsoft Office 2004 installation and pushing that to all users if the
company has a volume license serial number. The recent 11.3.5 updater is
a combo updater so it should take an 11.0.0 or higher installation to
11.3.5.

> ... and of course registration usually means being online, and there 

Hi Phil,

internet access does not have to be necessary for the registration process.
If you have a Windows PC and want to install a recent version of Microsoft
Office on it, registration is part of the activation process of the software
and, as such, is absolutely necessary; even the operating system itself
(Windows XP or Vista) needs to be activated. If you don't have access to the
internet, you will be given a telephone number which you can then call to
activate your software.

Smart thinking, Phillip :-)

If you don't see any clouds of smoke drifting across the Pacific from

Seriously: Phillip's response is exactly what I suggest. This is a huge
bit of code, and it will have some problems. People who do a lot of beta
testing usually set up a second boot partition on their system, so beta
software is totally encased in its own sand-pit where it can't get into

Questions before deploying the crm 1.2 system

Posted: 18 Feb 2004 12:23 AM PST

How many users cna you run on a CRM system?

Its a difficult question as it depends on not only hardware but also
location!!. For instance you may find you are supporting 100 users but they
are spread out across timezones therefore will access crm at different
times.

Also how fast do you need response times to be. I personally run a CRM
server with 125 users. These users are spread out geographically and
therefore allow me to support the whole thing of a dual 900mhz p3 with 1gb
ram.

Another consideration is usage patterns. For instance do you have people
sitting at their desks hitting the system hard or are they on the road and
only using crm a few times a week.

Lots of questions!

Licencing remote users

Posted: 06 Jul 2004 07:51 AM PDT

If I was designing solutions then I would ensure that client devices
accessing my Exchange server had an Exchange CAL.
If a workstation or PDA remotely had a need to contact I would
document that the Windows access to whatever network they initially
connect to should be supplied with a CAL from the owning network.
So, to go out on a limb, I would not insist that foreign devices owned
a Windows CAL for my systems.
Now, that might be right, or it might be wrong. It's an opinion and an
assessment. Ensure that you wait patiently for your local office to
respond.

I understand I will not be able to access my SkyDrive account when I am offline.

I was just confused on Office 2013 vs. Office 365 and cloud storage.

Thank you.

Word 2010 Error! Bookmark not defined!

Posted: 29 Jan 2013 07:40 AM PST

 I have a document with multiple {XE} index fields. When I go to print, they all turn into Error! Bookmark not defined. I have tried updating the index just before printing to no effect. I have done a REPLACE, and replaced all with a DELETE. The Fields disappear from the document, but when I go to print, the error message returns in all the same places. Help! This is a 300-page document with 10,000 index fields!

document properties field - too short dropdown list

Posted: 29 Jan 2013 07:31 AM PST

Is there any way that the word document properties field had longer dropdown list? It seems that it is limited only to 30 elements. I have a client-reference field and it's useless unless I can pick from the entire list (it;s connected to sharepoint list)

Here's the screenshot: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=E37346D32496A389!236&authkey=!ADARodR5JHo8Pes

I know that from within sharepoint website it can be done to select value from unlimited list. But it's really inconvinient to be forced to save the document without this field and then go to webpage, change properties and finally set proper field value.

Alphabetize styles in Word style gallery

Posted: 29 Jan 2013 05:16 AM PST

I created a template with a customized multilevel list using Heading 1 thru 6.  I also removed all styles not needed from the Style Gallery.  The Heading styles are not in alphbetical order.  How can I enforce sorting in ascending order of all the styles that appear in the gallery, for this template.

Thank you for any suggestions.

My Word docs are corrupted with paragraph symbols, and dots for spaces. What gives?

Posted: 28 Jan 2013 05:13 PM PST

I coppied and pasted text created earlier on my genealogy site (using there composing page format), into Word 2000 (off site), now, after trying to edit off site (with the genealogy window open, but minimized), all my Word docs are corrupted with paragraph icons at the start and end of each paragraph, and in the margin of any blank line (like double spacing).  Also, in every space between letters is a dot.  Are these Word settings?  I have removed and reloaded Word, to no avail. 

Modify repeating table header in subsequant pages

Is there a way to have word modify a repeating header in subsequent insatnces, such as adding the text "(continued)" to all but the first instance of the header?

how do you disable the auto table formatting in word?

I am creating a table in Word and when I change the width of the cells on one row the cell width may also change on another row.  I am trying to create a form and I need to cell width value to remain the value that I set and not change as I continue to add to the document.

Power Point (XP) disappears when minimized with Dual Monitors

Posted: 28 Jan 2013 01:38 PM PST

I currently have dual monitors.  When I minimize Power Point (XP power point 2007) it moves off the screen to a non-existent monitor (so is not showing on either of my 2 monitors).  I can only use power point maximized (so can't change the size of the window or move the window to the other monitor).  I have tried reseting my desktop to using only 1 monitor (and rebooting), tried rebooting with only my laptop screen with no other attached monitors but with no luck.  It seems that power point is "remembering" a setting that does not exist.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Turn off allow rows to break across page by default

Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:11 AM PST

I use many tables in Word, and I can't remember the last time I wanted to allow rows to break across the page, which is the default option.  Thus, every time I create a table, I must open up the table properties, and uncheck the box that says "allow rows to break across page".  Is there a way to change the preferences so that this box is unchecked by default when new tables are created, so that I can eliminate this step and streamline my work with tables?

I have dual 30" monitors. Now Word 2010 opens spread out acroos both monitors rather than just one. How do I correct this?

All of a sudden on Word 2010 only it opens spread out over both monitors.  How do I change this?

Labels and Tables Issue

Posted: 27 Jan 2013 12:13 PM PST

I often use Avery labels most of which have a corresponding table in Word.  But I find that if I try to change the cell margins—the internal margins for the cells—other parts of the table change.  For example, I want to print business cards using Avery 5871 labels.  The default cell margins are Top/Bottom: 0, Left/Right 0.01 (all measurements in inches). If I change the left cell margin (Table Properties/Cell/Options, uncheck Same as the Whole Table) to 0.3, the entire table shifts about the same amount to the left!  If I change the Top cell margin to 0.3 the cells now spill over onto a second page. Oddly, even with the spillover, Word tells me that the 2" (exactly) row height is unchanged. This is obviously impossible. I can see that the row height has changed both on the screen and if I print samples.  In any event, I can't print on the chosen labels!  I never noticed this problem before.  What am I doing wrong?

Word Documents Start with Heading 1

Posted: 27 Jan 2013 10:13 AM PST

All new documents, in Word 2007, on Windows 95 start with the Heading 1 style rather than the Normal style.  I do not understand how that could happen, and can not seem to correct this.

Any thoughts on this issue will be appreciated.

First you should stop to top-post. Next, it means that the headers in
/usr/include/linux are not relevant for building the driver you want.
You need the headers that are in most distributuins included in the
kernel-source or kernel-headers package. So maybe now you should open
your package management tool and search for kernel-header. If you don't
get any results, you have to configure your kernel source. As this
failed the last time you tried, make another attempt with some
additional steps.

cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-2.4.22-10mdk .config
make oldconfig
make dep

Tell us if you get any error message.

I take it this means that you tried to install Knoppix to a hard drive

Did you make the "emergency" boot floppy as recommended by the
installer?

I installed Knoppix 3.3 and it uses "initrd" which is quite a
different boot process and the "map" file is probably located in the
initrd image file ... though I don't have a good understanding of the
initrd boot process. I immediately converted my installation to boot
"the normal way" so it would co-exist with my other OS installations.

Good luck!

2.6 kernel and NTFS support

or have you compiled your own?

I assume you must have compiled your own kernel because the page I
referenced in my orginal post was a big hint that the NTFS project hasn't
issued a module for 2.6, yet. Here's another hint:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/rel26.html

Assuming you have your own kernel and your own modules, then you can
verify the module is installed, (as root),

# modprobe ntfs
# lsmod

You can verify the partition you are using is of type NTFS using this
command,

# fdisk -l /dev/hdx

What I know, is from reading this page,

More information would be useful. What error messages are people getting
when they try to send you mail? Does you machine have an mx record in
your DNS server?
Are there error messages in your /var/log files?

From your own machine mail does not go through postfix-- just procmail
probably.

Raid1 in a existing system

No. Please read the Software-RAID-HOWTO; it specifically explains

By marking the _existing_ disk in /etc/raidtab as failed, copying the
contents over onto the newly installed RAID that will then be running
in degraded mode (at that time), and re-adding the old disk using
raidhotadd.

WARNING: Don't try that without having a backup ready. If you mess
things up, all existing data will be lost.

Sidenote: I wouldn't bother booting off of the RAID; instead, keep
the / and /boot filesystem on separate partitions, and run rsync
