How to link custom task fields to custom resource fields

Posted: 19 May 2004 06:42 PM PDT

Steve T --

In the Resource Usage view, right-click on any column, such as the Resource
Name column, and select "Insert Column" from the shortcut menu. Select the
Project field, set the Align Title and Align Data values to Left, and then
click the Ok button. Now you can see the project for each assignment
without having to go to a lot of work. Hope this helps.

Changing the fonts for notes.

Posted: 19 May 2004 02:22 PM PDT

Sorry, don't really know where documented explicity. This way of
applying format to fonts is sort of standard way Windows programs works.
On that control, click on the ? in the upper right corner, then
click on the "thing" you want help on, e.g. the "A" button, and you'll
see help about that "thing". This help feature, along with how font
formatting works, is standard Windows GUI functionality.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Start and End dates on resource usage differ from task dates

Posted: 19 May 2004 08:55 AM PDT

Hi Michelle,
What do you want the start and finish dates to sync
with? What you are seeing currently is the schedule for
the resources to work on the task based upon their
working and non-working time. By default, Project only
schedules resources to work on task during time defined
as working in their calendar.
For example:
I create a 5 day duration task starting today.
Before resources are assigned, the task is scheduled to
start on 5/19 and finish on 5/25 - 5 working days based
upon the project calendar (standard) and the standard
default of 1 day = 8 hours.
If I then create 3 resources:
R1 doesn't work on Monday
R2 doesn't work on Tuesday
R3 doesn't work on Wednesday
I assign all 3 resources to the task.
Each resource has 40 hours of work calculated.
R1 works:
W (5/19), Th (5/20), F( 5/21), T (5/25), W (5/26) for 8
hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
R2 works:
W (5/19), Th (5/20), F( 5/21), M (5/26), W (5/26) for 8
hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
R3 works:
Th (5/20), F( 5/21), M (5/26), T (5/25), Th (5/27) to for
8 hours each day to accomplish his/her 40 hours.
The duration of the task is now 7 days and starts 5/19
(the earliest any one resource starts) and finishes 5/27
(the last day any one resource works).
If I want the task to be worked on by all 3 resources but
completely ignoring their non-working time, I can apply
the standard calendar to the task and check "Scheduling
ignores resource calendar" in the Task Information form -
advanced tab.
The task goes back to 5 days, but all resources have just
effectively had their non-working time ignored. They all
work Wednesday 5/19 through Tuesday 5/25.

Does this help?

Grouping by project within Resource Pool

Posted: 19 May 2004 08:49 AM PDT

Hi Cheryl,
I apologize for being less than clear.
The "timescaled" portion of the view is the right hand
side (usually a yellow grid) of the task usage (or
resource usage) view which shows work for each resource
on a daily basis. You may zoom the right hand side to
show weeks, months or whatever you need. The resource
and task usage view is in 2002.
Again, sorry for not being clear. I hope this helps. If
not, let us know and we'll try again.
Regards,
Julie

Are you wanting to send the Gantt view or the task list?
If you want to send the task list you can:
1-file save as html
2-new map
3-data to export
A-Tasks
(And)OR
B-Assignments
4-HTML Options
A-Export Header/Import Includes Header
B-Base Export on HTML Template
Choose from drop down Template desired
5-Destination HTML Table Title
Replace with Descriptive Name
6-From MS Proj Field
Select all the Fields you want to export
8-Next
9-Next
10-Save Map--I am assuming you will want to do this weekly
or monthly.
11-Name map
12-Save
13-Finish

You may want to look at this. It is an easy way to get
the info out. You can also automate this with a macro.
Feel free to contact me direct if you have questions on
the above instructions.
Cheers!

Microsoft Word - Using template repeatedly in document

Microsoft Word - Using template repeatedly in document

Using template repeatedly in document

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 07:45 AM PST

I understand how to create a template to use as a basis for new documents.  I've created one that puts in some standard content, tables and sets appropriate formatting.

Now, that same template is applicable multiple times within my document, so after populating content into the loaded template, I'd like to be able to start a new page, and start over again with a fresh copy of the same template (I don't want to create a new document, just a new page/section within the same document).

Is that possible?

Thanks.

Multilevel list styles lose indents

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 05:24 PM PST

I have seen this happen consistently in documents but am not sure if is one of those "by desgin" things.

I define a multi level bulleted list.  No problems so far; the list looks great and indents are where I want them.  Such as below.  I have used dashes instead of bullets for the purposes of posting to this board.  I have saved this format as a style in my document.

 -item 1
     -sub item 1.1
     -sub item 1.2
     -sub item 1.2
-item 2
     -sub item 2.1
     -sub item 2.2
             -sub item 2.2.1
             -sub item 2.2.2
             -sub item 2.2.3
     -sub item 2.2

Now, lets say I decide I would like to make a change to the multi-level list style.  Change the bullets, or even the indent spacing.  As soon as I touch this feature, it does save the new definition and update the style, any place in the document using this style loses all of its indenting.  The list goes left justified such as below.

 -item 1
-sub item 1.1
-sub item 1.2
-sub item 1.2
-item 2
-sub item 2.1
-sub item 2.2
-sub item 2.2.1
-sub item 2.2.2
-sub item 2.2.3
-sub item 2.2

Does anyone know how and if I can avoid this behaviour?

How can I restore Word 2010 recent documents list after windows 7 reinstallation

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 02:33 PM PST

Hi guys
I've just reinstalled my Win 7 OS purely to enhance speed & consider myself a fairly competent PC user so comfortable moving things around, and restoring folders etc.  As always I backed up everything anyway, but do have the Windows.old folder too to work with.

However, despite replacing all the "new" Office folders and having no issues with restoring Outlook etc, I can't manage to get my Word 2010 back to where it was before.  I've replaced every Office folder I could think of:
  • Users/Name/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Office
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/Office
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/Word
  • Users/Name/AppData/RoamingMicrosoft/DocumentBuildingBlocks

Have I missed something somewhere? 


I've rebooted, updated all Office files etc, & just can't figure out what I'm missing.


Any help truly appreciated on this one.

Thanks

Repositioning a frame in Word

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 05:11 PM PST

I am using Office 2010 on a Windows Vista Home Premium platform.  I have inserted a large (5x 8) jjpeg image onto the page and surrounded it with a frame (to simplify re-positioning).  Now, when I try to drag the frame from one page to another (adding text ahead of the frame caused the frame to skip a page), I can move it to the correct page, but I am unable to re-position it on that page.  If I drag and drop, the frame jumps by large amounts.

 

Before I delete the frame and start from scratch, is there another way to move the frame on the page in smaller increments?

 

Thanks in advance.

Find and Replace

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 05:18 PM PST

Is it possible to find a space in TNR 8 pt. followed by any character not TNR 8pt. and change the space to a Tab?

 

Here's the expanded version of my question:

I have a Word document with defined terms. The defined term is in TNR 8 pt. The definition is MS Reference Sans Serif 6 pt. and occasionally another font. In order to transfer this file to Excel and have the defined terms in column A and the definition in column B, I want to put a Tab between each defined term and its definition. If the defined term was always one word, I would simply search for a space in TNR 8 pt. and change it to a Tab. However, many of the defined terms consist of multiple words (i.e.: accelerated cost recovery system) and the spaces between them are all TNR 8 pt. I need a way to replace only the final space of each definition that is TNR 8 pt. with a Tab.

 

Possible?

 

Thanks,

 

Guy

Is it possible to keep the existing Digital Signatures in a document if the document has been changed?

We're currently trialing Digital Signatures in our organisation. I would like to know if there is an option to keep the existing Digital Signatures in a document if the document has been changed as they are removed for any changes by default. This will cater for cases where minor changes need to be made to the document during the signature collection process - e.g. fixing spelling mistakes, grammatical errors etc.

Table indents not consistent

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 11:27 AM PST

I want all the tables in my document to have left alignment, with 0" indent from the left. I go in and make this change in all the table settings. They are also set to not automatically resize and to have no preferred width.

However, the tables don't all align on the left. Even though I can see they all have these settings, it's obvious visually that they don't line up. I can do it manually, but why on earth aren't they lining up on their own?

Is there a setting I'm missing that could cause this problem?

Thanks,
Jen

How do you bypass the Open Page and go directly to the documents folders when opening a document in Word 2013

I would like to be able to go directly to the folder directory (My Documents) in my hard drive when clicking the open icon on the tool bard in Word to open a document. The default takes me to an Open page, where I then have to drill down to get to the the directory. This is a waste of time, but I find no info or setting to eliminate/by pass the Open page. It is very similar to the Start screen when opening Word when you first open the program, which you can disable..

Any help would be appreciated.

When I open the same document in 2013 Word, the outlines do not show. I go the INSERT menu, table tab pull down and  then click draw table and the outlines show in document. I save document template, and the lines disappear. 

There must be a way to have them show by default, but I have not found it. I have tried to save the document in the new 2013 format, but nothing seems to allow them to show when i open the template. Any help would be appreicated..

need font in quick style to format as all lowercase

I'm using Word 2007 currently on a laptop running Windows XP SP3.  Will be moving back to my Windows 7 once the PC gets back from shop.  But my question remains the same for both systems.  I have a Quick Style that I need to set up so that when applied everything is lowercase.  I can't seem to find a way to set it up for that.  This style is for chapter headings and right now I get "Chapter one" and have to go back and set the C to lowercase manually.  Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?  All I can find under font format is all Strikethrough, Double strikethrough, Superscript, Subscript, Shadow, Outline, Emboss, Engrave, Small caps, All caps, and Hidden.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Layout for a resume.

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 02:45 PM PST

Say I'm doing a resume. The left margin is 1.6" and the right is at 1.0".

In the left margin I want to insert a keyword, like Product Management, or Logisitcs just to the left of the body, to act as a subject guide for the reader. They can hop around to what they want without having to wade thru the whole doc. Most people if they use these keywords at all... place them as a line entry just above where new subjects start. This takes more room and it's not eye-appealing.

How do I insert these keywords? Without disrupting the doc.

I have a shopping list that I want to keep as a template (so I can make one-time changes, then save it as something else or just print it, without modifying the original). However, every time I open the template, when I go to pin it to Word's recent files list, it shows up in that list as a .doc.

I would like to always access the template itself when I open up the file, from the pinned docs list. Is there a way to do this?

Ctrl+A\Ctrl+Z\Ctrl+C\etc... not working after enabling macros.

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 08:44 AM PST

Hello, I'm using Windows 8, and have started using Word to write math papers.
But for the last couple of days i've been experiencing some odd bugs.
In order to use MathType 6.8 I need to enable macros in word, but it seems that the very moment i enable macros(Even simply the "only digitally signed" option) word starts acting up and will not recognize the Ctrl shortcuts(+a\+c\+v\+z\etc). the ctrl key works perfectly everywhere else and even  CTRL+F works for "Find" in word. I've tried it and powerpoint remains unaffected even when i change the trust center settings in it to allow macros as well.
I've tried deleting the Normal.dot template several times and removing MathType 6.8 but to no avail. I once got the shortcuts back when I restarted after deleting both the normal.dot and Mathtype but the moment i re-enabled macros the shortcuts were non-responsive again.
(Checking word was literally the first thing i did after the computer came back up, and i had MathType removed, as well as Windows Mathematics Add-in for word, so it seems unlikely that any of them caused it).
I have a test in 7 days and i need to start writing down things. PLEASE help me.

How do I move graphics/pictures in Word 2010

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 08:06 AM PST

I have tried various tips to move photos or graphics in a document, such as holding down thre shift key and dragging the graphic.  This works to put a copy of the graphic in a new location, but the original one stays in the same place.  When I then try to cut the original, it stays and the "new" graphic that I had located is removed.  I don't understand why this is so difficult to do in Word 2010.  Word 2007 was easy!

working in a template

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST

I am using templates I created to create a cookbook.  I have moved some of the text from one box to another by copy and paste.  I now have a large blank space in the box from which I removed the text.  I thought that I could simply back space to remove that, but it doesn't work.  I have looked in the help sections, but couldn't find out how to remove the blank space.  Thanks

Viewing XML Tags

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 01:07 AM PST

 

1. I have a document saved to my desktop as a ZIP file.

 

2. I double click that ZIP file to open it.

 

3. A windows Explorer window opens displaying a number of folders.

 

4. I double click on the folder called:-

 

word

 

 - to open that folder.

 

5. I now see something called:-

 

document.xml

 

 - which I double click causing an Internet Explorer window to open.

 

6. I believe I am now presented with the XML and this shows me (I believe) the XML tags that I wish to inspect.

 

QUESTION

 

Is the above process the only way to inspect the XML tags or is there a faster way to do it?

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

What would cause text to look like it is highlighted in grey?

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 03:04 PM PST

I am teaching a computer applications course, and am having a strange issue that I have not been able to figure out.  Sometimes, seemingly randomly, the text comes up on their assignments with what looks like a highlighter in grey.  I know it is not a highlighter, because I have checked that, and it is not a background, because it stays close to the letters and does not fill an entire area.  This has happened with WordArt (as shown in the screenshot link below) and also with just typing in a document.  I was hoping that someone might have an idea what is going on.

Problems With Odd and Even Number Headers From a Specific Point

Posted: 05 Feb 2013 06:45 AM PST

Hello to all the MS WORD experts,

I am in the process of formatting a novel for publishing and I am running into some issues. I am using MS Word 2010

First I need to insert headers with book title on even number pages, and headers with author's name on odd pages. I have been able to do that but the problem I have been facing is how to stop it from including the previous pages that include content, intro, etc.

Also, for the first ten pages I removed any numbering, These ten pages consist of the contents, intro etc. as I stated above. I need to number these ten pages in Roman numerals. I know how to do that, but I don't know how to make it stop at the page prior to the start of the first chapter.The first chapter begins the normal page numbering from 1 to the end.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am getting a bit frustrated.

Pictures or Clip Art Will Not Display When Pasted into Word 2007

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 11:48 AM PST

I recently converted to Windows 8 and I am using Word 2007.  Since the conversion, I am unable to insert pictures or clip art into my Word 2007 documents.  When pasting, all I get is a blank box with an outline, but nothing is displayed within the box.  The same error occurred when I attempted to inert a JPG that I converted to a PDF.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to keep the file tab from covering the whole document in Word 2010 or Excel 2010?

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 07:57 AM PST

Is there a way to keep the file tab from covering the whole document in Word 2010 or Excel 2010? When I want to see recent documents, the document I'm working on (in Word and Excel both) gets covered completely and when I click exit, I don't go back to the document I was working on but am kicked out (unless I'm given the option to cancel changes and then allowed to go back to where I was. Why does that File tab have to be so huge and irreversible? The old File tab was just great: covered part of your working window, easily opened, easily, closed. Very useful.

The Review tab

The REVIEW tab on my Word 2007 ribbon has disappeared.

How can I get it back?

Is there a Microsoft add-in, or a third party application, that can check a collection of Word documents to see if the same uniform template has been applied to each of them?

Posted: 02 Feb 2013 05:28 PM PST

(such that you could do the check automatically, without having to open each Word document individually)

How do you enable the inactive application add-ins, such as the hidden text document inspector, in the backstage view, in Word 2010 (14)?

The "Manage > Disabled Items > Go" function at the bottom of the window says that there are no disabled items.

Why doesn't the Maximize Button for MS Word work properly?

Posted: 02 Feb 2013 03:18 PM PST

I use MS Word in Office 2003 (yeah, I know). When I click on the maximize button, the bar at the top doesn't fully go to the top of the screen. If I start a new doc, the screen is fully maximized. However, if I save the new doc and then return to it, the same problem occurs.

How do I fix this?

TIA,

Steve
