There are some, but I am not sure where to point you out to read. For
example, we in the community reffer to OpenOffice as OpenOffice.org not
Open Office.

The tone and technicality of the tutorial is really up to the author. I
guess the best way to write tutorials is to read the one previously
created. If you want a good repository of OpenOffice.org tutorials you can
check up Bruce Byfield work.

Hello,
further to what Daiya has said. When you check that the messages are
not partly left on the server (Daiya second note) open your message
and save the file to any place (do not click on the attached file to
open, save it). Start word and see if you have checked in Preference 
attachment by word - either drag and drop your document on the W icon,
or open word and do file>open. You might be asked by now about
conversion of your document (that happens if you check the confirm
conversion option and the file you want to open is not native Word
document).
Let us know, how you did,
Good luck

Microsoft Word - pfm/pfb fonts don't work in Word 2013

Microsoft Word - pfm/pfb fonts don't work in Word 2013

pfm/pfb fonts don't work in Word 2013

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 10:01 AM PDT

It seems that Word 2013 no longer supports pfm/pfb fonts. They work fine in Word 2010 and earlier.

Is that being worked on for an update soon?

I can't understand this mysterious numbering system someone else created.

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 07:21 AM PDT

A prior employee created a 'procedures' document whose headings are automatically numbered as follows:

 

1. Main Head

1.a. Subhead

1.b. Subhead  etc, etc... all the way to...

9.ff Subhead

 

When I look in the Home Tab\Paragraph section of the ribbon, the '1-2-3-' auto numbering icon is highlighted, indicating that they used auto-numbering in SOME way.

 

When I click the down arrow to see what kind of numbering scheme was used, the numbering library area of the dropdown shows 14 different numbering schemes in the numbering library...The top left scheme is "None", and the rest do not look like the auto-numbering scheme described above.  Below the numbering library section, there are eight additional defined 'document number formats', and none of those resemble the auto-numbering scheme, either.  None of the above schemes are highlighted, so it would appear none of them are being used.

 

This can be verified; when I highlight the line, '1.a. Subhead' and open the Modify Style dialog, and click the FORMAT button to examine its Numbering, it indicates that "None" is being used for the number format!

 

So, somehow, auto numbering is being used, however, it is also not being used....however, it seems to work fine; if I insert a line below 1.a. Subhead and format it with 1.a. Subhead's style, it automatically becomes 1.b. Subhead, as expected.

 

I'm....puzzled.....

Double apostrophe and double double quotes

Posted: 25 Mar 2013 03:27 AM PDT

I have just installed Office 2010 on a new laptop with Windows 8 after my previous one fell and got damaged. It works fine but I find that when I hit the apostrophe (') (like now) and the opening and closing quotes (""") i have to hit the key twice because it does not appear. When I hit it a second time it appears twice. Is there a reason? I remember vaguely that in Windows 7 (my previous system)I occasionally experienced the same. Any advice?

Macro for Endnotes

Posted: 24 Mar 2013 09:13 PM PDT

Greetings!

Because I am unable to create a macro by myself that can do the following, I am asking for your help.

I need a MS Word 2010 macro that will
1) search for an endnote (and there are many of them in my document),
2) copy the entire contents of the endnote,
3) insert the endnote contents into parentheses and
4) delete the endnote, as follows:

Before macro is run:

Four score and seven years ago,1 our forefathers ...
-----
1 that is, 87 years ago

After macro is run:

Four score and seven years ago, (that is, 87 years ago) our forefathers ...

Then the macro will continue and search for the next endnote, and do the same until it reaches the end of the document.

I would deeply appreciate your help in this matter.

 Microsoft Word /Office Home and Student 2007 is not configured for Windows 7.   Is there an update patch I can download to fix this configuration problem?  I get two things happening when I open Word or Excel 2007:  first I get the Account Control Window asking if I want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer.  Then I get a delay in the program opening while Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 configures itself for Windows 7.  I just want to be able to open Word and Excel and use them without all this delay.  thank you.  JT,   

Word, tables and spanning pages.

Posted: 22 Mar 2013 07:54 AM PDT

In word 2010, i have a table.  it has a total of 3 columns and 15 rows.  but the cells in column 1 "encompass" 3 rows for columns 2 and 3.

my problem is that my last group of 3 rows, spans two pages.  but the cell from column 1 only displays on page 1, along with the first two "child" rows next to it.  the thrid row is on the second page, but column 1 cell is blank.

is there a way to "force" all 3 rows to the next page without having to recreate the table?

Moving Distibution Lists to Child Domains

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 08:46 AM PDT

I believe by default Windows Does not allow the client permissions to do
this. You can add the permission as follows:

Open Active Directory Users and Computers
From the View Menu, select advanced Features
Browse to one of the groups, right click and select properties
On Managed By Tab change click the check box "Manager can update Membership
list". This should apply the ability for the client to update membership.
You can check it by going to the security tab, and checking that the added
account has the "special Permissions" for this object

How do I get Heading 1 to always start on a right hand page?

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 03:22 PM PDT

I'm creating a book; all the chapters start with a Heading Level 1 line.  I'd like that to ALWAYS be on a right hand page, irrespective of numbering.  Can this be done?  I would need it to insert a blank page ONLY if necessary to maintain "right handedness."  The heading 1 currently inserts a page break (effectively) so it starts on a new page; I need it to insert a blank page if need to get the heading to start on a right hand page.  Any help appreciated!

times new roman unicode

I am needing to use a Latin small e (or Greek small epsilon) with a macron and acute, in Times New Roman font. I have done some research and know there is unicode for this in TNR, but not in Word 2010. Is there any way to get a complete TNR unicode, or at least be able to insert what I need into my Word document?

Can I auto-number the left column in Word 2007 to make a list of action points?

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 04:45 AM PDT

Hi All

I want to use a table in Word to log meeting minutes. The left column will be a category number, then sub-number, the middle column will be the detail and the right column will be the initials of the person responsible.

So far this is all being edited by hand, but what I'd like to do is set it so that when a row is inserted and numbered, all subsequent rows update. This is easily done for a straight 1, 2, 3..... list but I can't get sub-points (1.1, 1.2 etc) to work. Here is an example of what I'd like. Sorry for the redactions!

Thanks,
Paul.

Many of the points raised apply equally to your favourite desktop,
application, or tool. I've actually been thinking of asking the author
if i could rewrite it from an OO.o perspective.

Word Perfect and OpenOffice.org use two different models for their
method of doing a similar task. OO.o uses a well established style-based
industry model, which Microsoft Word did not invent. Reveal codes
is not the be all and end all, it does have its own limitations.

Actually TeX is the greatest Word Processor out there but you may find
LyX an implementation more to your taste. Yeah, i just couldn't resist

First I thought "why another project, why not populate the UI project

provided that UX left the incubator status and became an accepted

So, generally +1 from me.

DDE link to Calc In Open Office

Posted: 08 Jan 2007 09:09 AM PST


Hi:

I'm trying to get data into Calc. To mirror what I'm doing now with
Excel (only because Calc failed me on this point), once I get data
into Excel, I can readily share it with colleagues, when necessary,
simply by copying and pasting the final text (not the DDE formulas).

I think you are quite correct that DDE was superceded. However, the
software I'm using has many users around the world, and once a stable
and widely-used important application is built, I think they are
perhaps reluctant to re-write it to do the latest with it. This setup
is somewhat idiot-proofed, so that even someone like me can set it up
on their own. All I did, as previously mentioned, was copy three
files from the proprietary software folder and put it into the Office
folder and then I was good-to-go. I received good support from
Thomson Financial, for setting this up in Excel (there has been some
later need for support, on some points). While the support was good
(not perfect, but good) they were not the least bit interested in
extending the discussion to other spreadsheet programs or to OLE.
