Hi Jack -

If the doc is the result of a merge & each "page" is an envelope then you
*do* have sections.

Each page [envelope] is separated from the next by a Next Page Section
Break - turn on the ¶ (Non-printing Characters) and you should be able to
see them. If this is the case, Daiya's response should provide the result
you're looking for.

FWIW, if the doc *isn't* a series of envelopes & the record source is still
available it might even be better to just do a new merge including only the
required records & merge directly to the printer.

All office applications crash when save

Uninstalling and reinstalling Mac applications rarely if ever solves a
problem like this - the apps just don't corrupt that easily. And while
the crash log might be helpful to MacBU if they knew everything your
machine was doing, a bare log doesn't usually give sufficient info to
diagnose the problem.

You *could* try (with all Office apps closed) renaming the

~:Library:Preferences:Microsoft

folder to see if that helps - if it does, it's an Office-wide preference
problem.

However, since Office uses the MacOS system dialogs and methods for
saving files, it's possible that it's a system problem. Try resetting
Disk Permissions (with the Disk Utility app), and make sure your OS X
version is up-to-date.

It might also help to know if you can save files using a different user
account on your machine.

Office For Mac Not Opening

Hi Tom -

No question about the history of your Mac possibly being contributory if not
causative. I'd still suggest you follow Diane's suggestion in her reply to
your first post - get the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update from the Apple site &
apply it even if you've done so previously. Then run Disk Utility - Repair
Disk Permissions.

If that doesn't correct the problem post back with what, specifically, you
have tried... "most of what was available" leave a lot of questions open :)

Hi aRKay -

Why not take it one step further & Save As a Document Template or as Word
Document Stationery... That way you can continue to generate new docs based
on it without having to do the copy/paste thing or worrying about
accidentally saving changes to the source file. Also, the source file is not
as likely to corrupt because you wouldn't be constantly
opening/modifying/closing it.

Some things to try:

1. Use ³Remove Office², reinstall from CD then try to update
2. Apple the latest Apple Combo updater. Even though you might be updated
the combo updater can overwrite files that are corrupt. Combo updaters will
install on the same version as they¹re applying--no need to roll back or do

3. Test in a new User to see if running the updater will work there.
4. Last resort- Archive & Install

Find serial number used

One thing that *may* be helpful--

When a serial number has been used twice, the product ID will be
identical except for the last five digits. So if you write down all 23
existing Product IDs, then you can install a license, compare the new
product ID against the list, and if the first three number blocks match
any IDs on the existing list, try another license number. Note that by
holding down Option in the Remove Office dialog, you can change license
numbers without re-installing, as in the link Bill provided.

This might be quicker in the short run--as you don't have to sit down at
all the machines--but slower in the long run, as it might need to be
repeated next year. :)

Hello & Welcome, Robert -

The first thing you need to do is *remove* the Test Drive version using the
Remove Office utility - separately [preferred] or as a part of the
installation process. The TD doesn't simply get "activated" by entering a
registration number. Make sure to follow the instructions for removal of the
TD. They're here if you need them:

Before you install the purchased version of Office 2004 for Mac
After you purchase Microsoft Office 2004 and before you install it, you must
remove the Office Test Drive.

To remove the Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive

1.. Quit any programs that are running.
2.. On your hard disk, open the Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains
the Test Drive.
3.. If you saved any documents in the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, move
them to another location.
4.. In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click Remove Office.
5.. Click Continue.
6.. In the Results window, click Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test
Drive), and then click Continue to move that folder to the Trash. Follow the
instructions on the screen.

During the installation of the retail pkg you will be prompted to enter the
code for your copy. Once it's installed it would also be a good idea to go
to the Mactopia site so you can download & apply the 11.3.5 Update:

You'll find that identical machines that were built from the same image will

If Disk Utility gives the volume a green light then there's no second

To restore your data, if it's ever necessary in a new user, you can simply
drag the "Microsoft User Data" folder into the user's "Documents" folder.
However, if the user already has a "Microsoft User Data" folder set up,
instead copy the individual identity folder within "Office 2004 Identities"
on the backup disk to the corresponding location in the user's Documents
folder.

2013 Wordart - Text Effects - Transform - Warp - Affecting All Text Instead of Just the Selected Text

Posted: 31 Jan 2013 10:01 AM PST

In the new 2013 version of WORD, Wordart features work differently than the old 2010 version and it appears there might be a problem with one of the features. I have multiple lines of text in a text box and only want to change one of those lines using the Wordart features. If I select the line I want to change and select the Text Fill or Text Outline effects, only the selected text changes and that is the way it should work. However, if I select the line I want to change and select one of the Text Effects/Transform/Warp effects, it changes all the lines in my text box instead of just the line I selected. Is this a bug with the Text Effects/Transform/Warp feature? If not, how do I get that warp to just transform the text I selected?

Formatting for Kindle, paragraph indentation is being very screwy

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 07:48 PM PST

So I've been working on this book for years. It has been transferred from many PCs to many new Word programs. The problem I am having now, as my book is ready to release, is that indenting paragraphs has been a nightmare. Here's why:

Normally, I'd just highlight each chapter and go to Page Layout --> Paragraph --> Set 'Special' to First Line

But the command is only being applied to about half of each chapter, sometimes in an alternating fashion. You'd think just clearing the formatting would fix the problem, but it doesn't! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I Sign Out of Office 2013?

Posted: 30 Jan 2013 03:05 PM PST

No offense, but I have my own data servers available to me whereever I roam and I do not want my data stored on any other company's servers. I do NOT want, and I mean that emphatically, to be gigned in to Microsoft via any sign in process to use Office 2013. My mail service comes from my own mail servers and my files servers are mine as well.

 

So how to I disconnect from Microsoft and use Office 2013, or am I at that point where I and Microsoft are at a parting of the ways?  If so I will uninstall the code, return to Office 2010 until another product comes along that does not tie me into their cloud services.

 

Please advise soon, as I do not want to have content I can not use as it is in a format I can't access once I remove this code.

Well, they don't have to be owned by root. Make them owned by the web

developer part of that group with write permissions to the htdocs directory.

Just do not make them owned by the user that the Apache server is

Why include root? All you need to do is create the webadmin group and
add your web developer(s) to this group. Just remember to enable the

How to PostMortem?

Posted: 16 Apr 2004 08:03 PM PDT

If your three UPSes have serious surge protectors, then you
can provide the numerical specifications that describe how
well they perform for each type of surge. I keep asking for
and no one has ever been able to provide specs to prove this
protection. Furthermore how does that UPS earth the typically
destructive transient when it is, virtually, not connected to
earth.

You are confusing safety ground with earthing. To be
effective, the UPS must make a less than 10 foot connection to
EARTH ground. That means UPS must be part of or at breaker
box. Building wide UPSes are effective because a short earth
ground is part of the installation. But plug-in UPSes are not
located and connected less than 10 foot from earth ground.
Earth ground - not safety ground - is essential for effective
protection. That fault light reported a safety problem - and
could never report the existence of earth ground. No earth
ground means no effective protection.

Your description of a green wire connection back to breaker
box is an earthing path? But if that green wire does carry
the destructive 'direct strike' surge, then green wire only
induces that transient on all other adjacent wires. Now we
have additional induced transients throughout the building as
well as the direct strike. Not only must the connection from
each utility wire to earth ground be less than 10 feet. It
must also have no sharp bends, no splices, and not be bundled
with other non-earthing wires. Destructive transient must be
dumped into earth before that transient can enter a building.
Well proven concept from before WWII. Green wire ground
violates all three criteria for effective protection.

This problem with a green wire safety ground is why your UPS
manufacture avoids the entire discussion. Notice that
discussion about earthing never comes from the manufacture of
ineffective protectors. But real world (serious)
manufacturers discuss earthing extensively:
http://www.polyphaser.com/ppc_technical.asp
http://www.polyphaser.com/ppc_pen_home.asp

Does not matter if you brother-in-law had two wire
receptacles upgrades to three wire (had safety grounds
installed). That rewiring was essential to human safety and
did nothing for surge protection. Fault light was only
reporting a human safety problem and could never report a
missing earth ground. Again and so important - the less than
10 foot connection. That distance to earth is critical.

Running a dedicated circuit to computers is nice. But it
does not do anything worthwhile for noise or transient
protection - from a computer's perspective. Nothing in the
house creates noise or transients that adversely effect a
computer. Computer power supplies are some of the most
resilient devices in the house. So resilient that this UPS
creates 120 VAC in battery backup mode by outputting two 200
volt square waves with a 280 volt spike between those 200 volt
waves. That so dirty electricity is, to a computer, 120 VAC.
UPSes can output electricity that dirty because computer power
supplies are (must be) that resilient. Worry more about the
power supply for furnace operation or bathroom GFCIs. They
may be more at risk.

Again, does not matter whether a brother-in-law had his
house rewired. Those receptacles are safety ground - not
earth ground. Rewiring his house does not solve a surge
protection problem. These citations have nothing to do with
household wiring and yet define the primary protector for a
home:
http://www.tvtower.com/fpl.html
http://www.tvtower.com/grounding_and_bonding.html


These pictures may be especially important to you (if I have
your location correct) because your electric company - now
called FirstEnergy who also created the NE blackout - may be
same that also created blackouts in Seaside Heights last 4
July. Their top management is nothing but bean counters who
cost control by letting the essential connections (see those
pictures) fail. Many Ocean County residents were electrically
shocked in their swimming pools for same reasons. Again,
these pictures have nothing to do with receptacle ground
wires. They do involve household's primary protector
circuits.

Those pictures affect the residence's primary surge
protector. Second protector is called 'whole house' -
typically located in breaker box and less than 10 foot from
central earth ground. Available for may $1 per protected
appliance (verse how much for ineffective plug-in
protectors?). Protector inside UPS is not considered because
it does not even claim to protect from the typically
destructive transient (again - just read their numerical
spec). It has no less than 10 foot connection to single point
earth ground.

An example of protection cited by an APC product:
SURGE PROTECTION AND FILTERING
....
Normal mode clamping response time 0 ns, instantaneous
Normal mode surge voltage let through <5% of test peak voltage
when subjected to IEEE 587 Cat. A 6kVA test
Normal mode noise suppression Full time EMI/RFI
filtering
Modem/10Base-T/100Base-Tx network cable port single line
(2 wire, RJ11) or network (UTP, RJ45) compatible jacks

Where is the common mode protection? It is not even
claimed.

Your phone line and cable also have effective protection
installed, free, by the utility - if each is properly
installed 'less than 10 foot' to a single point ground.
Again, 'whole house' protectors are so effective that your
telco already installs effective protector inside the premise
interface box (NID) and makes the so important, 'less than 10
foot' connection to same earth ground. Cable needs no
protector since earthing connection is made (as even required
by National Electrical Code) without protector. What did the
APC do? Nothing. Protectors are only as effective as its
earth ground - which UPS manufacturer just forget to mention -
even in the above numerical spec.

Don't fall for the myth that a plug-in UPS provides
excellent protection. It cannot. Again, look at the numerical
specification. It does not even make that claim.

So what is that surge protector inside a UPS? Same circuit
found in power strip surge protectors. That's it. Plug-in
UPS provides same protector circuit found in power strip
protectors. Nothing more. And much less when there is no
'less than 10 foot' connection to earth ground.

If your power supply is inferior, then why spend big bucks
on a UPS? An inferior supply may also damage other computer
components since essential functions are missing. Functions
that were defacto standard 30 years ago and specifically
demanded in Intel specs. Functions that a UPS does not even
provide, but are necessary for a computer. Before even
considering a UPS, one must first use an acceptable power
supply. That means either a brand name computer or the clone
assembler must have a long list of specification from the
power supply manufacturer. UPS cannot compensate for these
missing and essential power supply functions.

Obviously, this is still well beyond the OP's problem. Of
those five basic power problems - blackouts, brownouts, noise,
harmonics, and surges - the plug-in UPS really only claims to
address the first two. Yes, stepping up and down the
transformer does put less strain on the battery and does
provide supplementary voltage adjustments to a power supply.
Nice. But the OP must get basic, essential tools to first
provide basic facts - to get numbers to learn where his
failure is. When he provides facts, only then can we even
discuss power supply as reason for his problem. Procedures to
diagnosis his failure provided in an earlier post.

Yup.
I solved it (Sorry, I sent the 1st post from my wife's 'puter).

The disk was enabled with Microsoft 'logical partition' manager, so it wasn't seen properly by
fdisk, qtparted or any other linux tool I tried. I don't know why it was like that.
I repartitionned it, reformated the ntfs part in Windows and did the cfdisk on the rest.
Everything is fine. Except that I'm already out of space in /usr. Damn.

cooperating with them (preferably in a common way) would be much better

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.

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

instead of the interim as .rtf hack.

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.

I do quite look forward to Office 2008.

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
to Microsoft.

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.

Hope this helps! bill

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
