mini distribution for Java

Try debian in minimal install instead. That requires quite a bit less
space and should not have problems with JRE.

Looking for P4 motherboard with onboard scsi

There need not be.

For example, on my SuperMicro X5DP8-G2 motherboard, there is a 2-channel
Ultra/320 SCSI controller chip, Adaptec AIC-7902. It is wired right into
one of the PCI-X busses. If you buy an Adaptec® SCSI Card 39320D, I
believe you will get the same chip.

http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/product/proddetail.html?sess=no&language=English+US&prodke y=ASC-39320D-R&cat=%2fTechnology%2fSCSI%2fUltra320+SCSI

The main difference will be not in terms of speed, but you will get an
external connector for one of the channels which the SuperMicro
motherboard I have lacks. No great loss, since I have 4 hard drives
plugged into the A channel and an Exabyte VXA-2 tape drive plugged into
the B channel. I do not know of any external peripherals that interface
to Ultra/320 SCSI interfaces.

Linux slow boot up and no internet connection

I had a similar problem with Redhat.
Seem to remember it was a sendmail problem.
Problem was fixed by adding an entry into my /etc/hosts file I think

# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
127.0.0.1 phrankndonna

This might fix it (the phrankndonna line)

Also, like the previous poster said, maybe look to stop sendmail starting
during boot.

Let us know if you fix it.

How to turn off ide-scsi-emulation (not quite straightforward..)

This is not a problem. Motherboard ide controllers are used for nothing but
the cd-rom in question.
 
Ok, I'm not gonna compile any custom kernels (it can't be necessary, since I
already have a similar computer which by default doesn't use
scsi-emulation), so disabling it must be done with kernel parameters at boot
time. What parameter forces kernel absolutely not to use scsi-emulation?

Thanks for the thought - however, it also happens immediately after a reboot
when there is over 140M of swapspace and the filesystem is less than 10%

Outline View Left Hand side bar

Posted: 13 Feb 2013 02:38 AM PST

Using Word 2007.

When I use Draft or Outline view, there is a narrow side bar on the left hand side. This shows Normal, Heading1 Heading 2 etc depending upon the levels chosen. A fine black line separates this "pane" from the main Outline view, where I see the Plus and Minus symbols and the indented structure of my document text. I can mouse over this black line and drag it wider or narrow.

 

I find this little side pane vey useful, but my colleagues do not see it when they use Outline view.

 

I have no idea how I switched this on, and none of the help guides I've found online mention it.

 

Can anyone tell me how to switch this on?

Office 2007 is not working properly..

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 06:25 PM PST

I had a virus that deleted some files from various systems.  I have to reinstall drivers for audio and other things and I've realized it did something to my 2007 Office program as well.  People can't open files because they say they're corrupt and when I go to open a new file weird music characters show up on the margins and I can't get rid of them.  I've had the viruses removed but yeah it deleted files.  I ran the office diagnostics tool but it didn't fix the issue.

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

what query language does a {DATABASE} field code use for text files?

I have a word document that I am trying to add a {DATABASE} field code to and I am trying to modify the SELECT clause to include a modified field.  The field I have includes the full name "John Smith" and I am needing to cut out the first name and only include the last name "Smith".  I know how to do this in SQL, but it seems that the syntax is not exactly the same.  For example, I can't even get it to add an alias to the full name field.  Does anyone know what the proper syntax is that the {DATABASE} field code uses for a text file?


This is my current {DATABASE} field code.  NOTE: I am not allowed to modify the .csv file, as I know that would have been a much easier solution.

 

 {DATABASE  \d "C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv" \c "" \s "SELECT NAME FROM C:\\Users\\khatcher\\Desktop\\Evil Datatel Folder\\ALTR_rschnurr.csv WHERE ((ID ={MERGEFIELD ID} ))" }

EDIT: the error it gives me when I add something like an alias to the NAME field is "Word is unable to open the data source"

Is there a way to link the content of combo boxes without using VB?

I then want that value to appear in a box in the footer of that and each consecutive page. I feel like there should be an easy way to do this without needing to write a macro, but haven't found one. Not sure how I would do so with a macro either, so any solution would be helpful. Thanks!

MS Word Forms - IF ... THEN...

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 07:42 AM PST

I have created a Form in Word 2003 and have managed to create a combo-list drop box with a list of required groups.  However I would like to the form to populate another field with a specific names one a selection has been made.  I assume a 'IF...THEN..." statement would be best, but am stuck trying to work out the process.  The list exceeds the 25 choice limit, thus the comb-list drop box created in VBA.

 

The initial part of my VBA is as follows (changed for necessity):

 

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()    

           ActiveDocument.FormFields("ColourGroups").Result = Me.ComboBox1.Text

End Sub

 

Private Sub Cmdclose_Click()    

           Unload Me

End Sub

 

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()    

          ComboBox1.ColumnCount = 1       

             'Load data into ComboBox       

             ComboBox1.List() = Array(" ", "Blue", "Red", "Yellow", "Brown", "Green")

End Sub

 

So what I want to appear on my Form, for instance, is that if I seleect Blue the name John appears on the form adjacent to it, Red will display George, Yellow will display Sarah, Brown will display Fred, and Green will display Paul.

 

Any suggestions?

Storing a copy of Office CD on hard drive?

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 09:34 AM PDT

I've never used the Office Resource Kit, but I've made admin installs before. I placed the CD in the drive and ran setup with a switch. Go to START>RUN and type "setup.exe /a" and it will look like it's going through an install. It'll ask you where you'd like to store the files and once given a place to do so, you're on your way! It asks you to accept the EULA and enter your 5x5 cd key. After that, one can run the install from the newly created administrative install point. Note, you may not be able to install Office Updates on the machine. It may give you an "error" stating that you've installed office from an admin install point and that you can't get the updates as you normally would. This install point can be slipstreamed with updates and from there you can update "client machines." If you want to know more about slipstreaming, do a search for it in here or on the support sites.

Microsoft Word - inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

Microsoft Word - inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

inserting a blank line in first row of table that appears alone on a page

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 10:31 AM PST

If I create a single table on a page (nothing else is on the page except this table) and want to insert a blank line in Row 1 and then type text below that blank line, when I click inside Row 1 and press ENTER, the blank line appears above the table instead of inside Row 1. I have taken the steps below as a workaround. I know about paragraph spacing before and pressing Shift + Enter, but don't want to use those approaches. I need to use the Enter key to create the first blank line because I'm working with a scoring issue in an existing keyboarding program in which students are learning to type a table with a blank line in Row 1. Next publication, I'll be taking a different approach, but for now, I need to have the final table have a hard return above the first line of typed text in Row 1. Is there a simpler way to do that than what I have suggested below? All help greatly appreciated.

To insert a blank line above the first line of text in Row 1, click inside Row 1 and press ENTER 1 time; click inside Row 1 again, press ENTER, and type desired text; move outside the table and delete the extra blank line.

Microsoft office Pro plus 2013 Legal Paper size.

Posted: 12 Feb 2013 03:32 AM PST

I have a MS Office Pro Plus 2013. I am having a problem with the legal paper size. In the MS Word the default legal paper size is 8.5 by 14, however mine is 8.5 by 13, the problem is whenever I try to customize the paper size to match what paper I have it always say that some elements are out of printing range or something the is within the line, which is true, whenever I print it only prints about 8.5 by 11 which is the letter paper size.

Is there anyway I can print using my 8.5 x 13 paper size?
my printer is HP PSC 1410 all in one and of course I am using 8.5 by 13 inch paper size.

I can print well with other sizes I just never tried photo in photopaper though.

Any help is appreciated.

Convert doc to pdf without losing picture resolution quality

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 06:46 PM PST

I can create a pdf file by selecting Print and then the pdf button.  The software I use to do this is no longer available to me.  I used this software to submit my pdf file with a test and 70 pictures to an on-demand printer.  Before accepting my file, I am required to pass the pdf through the on-demand's filter software that check all pictures have a resolution over 300 DPI.  All the pictures passedd and met the on-demand standard.

 

I now find I cannot get this pdf software now, so I used my Word 2010 software to do a .doc SAVE AS to PDF.  When I passed this new pdf file though the on-demand filter, it would many pictures that did not meet its standard.  Upon research the Word document is 147MB and the first pdf vendor generated file was 80MB after conversion.  When I passed this same Word doc file through the Microsoft 2010 SAVE AS, the pdf file wa 20MB.  The smaller file sounded good, BUT with the Microsoft Word to PDF conversion is loses picture quality and does not meet the on-demand standard.

 

Can I change any parameter in Word 2010 to not reduce the quality of picture resolution in the doc file?  Or can you recommend a Word to PDF file converter that does not destroy the resolution of the embedded jpegs in Word?

 

How to print graphs on the same page as title

Posted: 11 Feb 2013 04:10 PM PST

I am preparing a report where there are a few graphs/charts with titles. I would like the graphs to show on the same page as the title of the graph, the title being texts. How do I do that? I keep having titles on one page and the relevant graph on the next page because there is not enough room on the same page. I'd rather have the title on the next page as well. Do I have to manually enter a few blank lines to push the title to the next page or is there any easier and neater ways to do it? I do not prefer page break either because if I change contents of the report, I would like all titles and associated graphs to still be kept together, without leaving huge blank areas on any page.

 

Any tips?

 

Thanks in advance,

What type of word object is a picture link to an excel range?

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 12:38 PM PST

I create Word documents that have links to an Excel spreadsheet. Because I need to move the Excel and Word documents to different machines (home, office, laptop) I needed a way to reestablish the path to the linked Excel file (something that was automatic in versions of Word prior to Office 2007, but apparently has been left out of verions from 2007 on).

 

The majority of links are created by using paste special->paste link as unformatted text. This creates a field object with an ActiveDocument.Fields.Type value of 56 or wdFieldLink. I found VBA code that loops through the documents fields collection and singles out .type 56 and changes the path portion of the link to whatever I specify. It works great.

 

However, I also use paste special->paste link as picture to bring a range of Excel cells into the document. The range is typically of a "grid" type display, some of which are large. When pasted as a "picture", the displayed grid can be sized to the page as easily as an image (works better than any of the other paste options). When I look in the document's link list, the links pasted as pictures appear like the other links (with a path, file name, specific worksheet and cell reference), but my VBA code which is looking through the ActiveDocument.Fields doesn't see the links pasted as pictures. I assume it's because the links pasted as pictures are not actually part of the fields collection. Note: I wrote a routine to display ALL ActiveDocument.Fields and their ActiveDocument.Fields.type value. The links pasted as pictures did not appear. 

 

What collection are links "pasted as pictures" a member of? What would their .Type value be?

I have org chart for homework. I am required to stack three assistants in a vertical stack. By default, two assistants are side-by-side. When I add 3rd assistant it stacks the third below one of the side-by-side assistants.

I have tried different methods to select the three assistants (dragging box around all three to highlight, shift-clicking, control-clicking, etc) and using the layout pulldown menu, with no result. Selecting left-hanging, right-hanging with multiple boxes selected doesn't have any visible effect.

I have tried grabbing the third box and manually moving it below the other two, but it auto-drops right on top of the second box.

Any suggestions on how to make three assistants align in vertical stack below a parent?

In Word 2010, only a few images are replaced with placeholder

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 02:40 PM PST

I have many images in my document, most of which are individally inserted, a few are inside a drawing canvas.  During editing, I like to use Picture Placeholder, however not even a third of the images are replaced with a placeholder. 

 

Having every image redrawn during scrolling through my document is annoying.

 

All of the images are jpeg format.

 

Any ideas how to get Placeholder to hide all the images?

 

Thanks,

Word doc missing from drop down menu

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 12:42 PM PST

Dear all,

Recently wiped my pc hard drive & restored all software etc. Re-installed Microsoft office home & student 2007, all been working well for approx 4 weeks. (I have a genuine disc, purchased a few years back new).

Office package still working, though one problem; If you try & create a new word doc by right clicking, then selecting 'new', where there are many files to choose, excel, power point etc, the word doc option now isn't there?? Journal document seems to have taken the place of word document?

If I go to my start menu programs & click on the Microsoft office file, then word doc is shown & available, confused, you bet!

Many thanks,
Tony LJ

Unable to insert page numbers in Word 2007 documents

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 11:45 AM PST

I have Office 2007 installed with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I have been unable to insert page numbers in Word documents, and the help document only gives instructions for Vista and XP. Also, although can find the U.S. locale folder 1033, I cannot find the Building Blocks.dotx template (with or without the space).

Printing a book - text on odd numbered pages with even numbered pages left blank

Posted: 10 Feb 2013 01:34 AM PST

I have word document running to 500 pages; the sheet size is A4.

I need to print this document and bind into a book. For this, I would like to print this document in the form of a booklet each with 16 or 32 pages of A3 sheet in landscape orientation folded in the middle. I will have pages 1, 3 , 5 and so on printed but page numbers 2,4, 6 and so on will remain blank.

How can I do this either with Word 2010 or Publisher 2010?

If it is not possible with MS Office what is the solution?

Any detailed instruction  greatly appreciated.

Macro to find a variable length text and replace it with some words

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 01:24 AM PST

Hi,

I'm trying to have a macro that select some text and replace it by a couple of words. My selection of text is of variable length but always starts and ends with the same words (here "START" and "The End"), so I'm trying to have a macro that selects a range based on those two strings of characters as beginning and end (case is important to accurately select the range) then replace it with words of my choice (here "My choice"). My current try does select the proper range but instead of replacing the whole selected range, it replaces only the word "The End" with "My choice".

I guess I have a problem in the hierarchy of actions...

Sub EngCleanBegin()
'
' EngCleanBegin Macro
'
'
    Dim myrng As Range, endrng As Range
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(findText:="START", MatchCase:=True, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
Set myrng = Selection.Range
Loop
End With
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(findText:="The End", MatchCase:=True, Forward:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
Set endrng = Selection.Range
Loop
myrng.End = endrng.End
myrng.Select
With Selection.Find
        .Replacement.Text = "My choice"
        .Forward = False
        .Wrap = False
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchByte = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchFuzzy = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With 
End Sub

Can't change Default Table text size in Word 2010

Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:33 AM PST

I am using Word 2010 to create a template but it won't allow me to change the default table text size from Myriad 11pt to 10pt.  The dropdown to reduce size is there but it won't apply when I click anything below normal document text of 11pt.

The whole table is formatted correctly apart from the text size.  I can apply the correct styles but then when I add a new table to the template it still contains the wrong style.

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 07:23 PM PST

Hello.

Is old Office 2000 SP3 unable to open password protected Mac Office 2011's Word .docx in old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3? If I remove its password when saving in Office Mac 2011 and opening it, then it is fine. Does the converter packs not recognize password protection or something? Opening is detected as Word 2007 format.

Thank you in advance. :)

How does Office 365 HP Work?

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 06:57 PM PST

I subscribed to Office 365 Home Premium and clicked the install button. After installation, when I open a word document, it opens with Open Office. Is there someplace to find out how to use the programs? Should there be desktop icons? I tried to view the videos but they won't open.

How to format a set of keyboard automatically without using Find and Replace?

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 01:45 PM PST

I'm not sure if this feature even exists in Word 2013 and maybe this should be considered as a request feature. Nonetheless, I'd like to do the following:

I usually takes notes for my programming classes and among the writing I do, there's certain keywords that I usually format a special way different than the rest of my notes. This serves for me to highlight them.

I've found myself formatting these keywords as I type them which leads to time loss and frustration. One solution I thought of was to finish first my document, and then use Find and Replace to format in bulk. This could work for me. However, I'd like to know if there's an easier way to accomplish this.

I've been looking for some sort of list that I could add words to, select the kind of output format I want and then Word would automatically change those keywords to the desired format as I type. Since these aren't regular words (e.g. "#include", "cout", "iostream") I don't think there'd be a problem with formatting wrong parts of my notes.

Thanks for any help.

I want to include the name and address of the person the letter is going to, but when I do it comes out double spaced. How do I not have the double spacing?

Posted: 09 Feb 2013 12:17 PM PST

When I include the name and address of who the letter is going to in the document, the name and address come out double spaced. The rest of the letter is single spaced. How can I correct this. I've gone into the paragraph area and told it to be single spaced, but the name and address is still double spaced. Help please!?

Nested IF fields in Word 2010 -- How?

Posted: 07 Feb 2013 02:54 PM PST

I have been driving myself crazy trying to make a multiple IF statement formula work for a table I have create. 

The table has a column set with controls to answer Yes or No. 
It has another column set with controls to select High, Medium, or Low.

I am trying to make the following statements work (inside one cell):

IF (R2C3 = "Yes" and R2C4 = "High") then return "100"

IF (R2C3 = "Yes" and R2C4 = "Medium") then return "50"

IF (R2C3 = "Yes" and R2C4 = "Low") then return "10"

IF (R2C3 = "No") then return "0"

Where R2C3 is Row 2, Cell 3.


Can someone help me? I just cannot figure out how to nest the IFs properly, and I have not experience with VB.


Thanks!!
