About the Exchange integration within Entourage 2008 compared to what we

I have yet to see a Microsoft comparison of features between 2004 and 2008.
This leads me to believe that there is little difference between the two
(apart from Out of Office and My Day) just a bit of "deckchair rearranging".

Which isn't really good enough for four years of development. Is it?

Hi Ryan!

If you have Partner status then you probably have a dedicated
representative from Microsoft. Since licensing agreements can always be
negotiated I suggest you contact your rep. Our company is volume
licensed for Mac software so with the proper agreement then I'm sure
yours can be too.

Hope this helps!

White Text On Black

Posted: 15 Oct 2007 10:53 PM PDT

Bob says::

"...reconsider the last point of your post. All this would
accomplish is a reversal of the "problem" areas, so what started out
as
black on white would then become white on black. How is Word supposed
to
know _which_ content should be reversed & which *shouldn't*? And what
about
the colors which appear to be white but may actually be several shades
off
from 255? Or a color such as very dark blue? What's a word processor
supposed to do with them?"

I guess you're referring to my second point (the "mixed" pixel and
text one). If I understand it, you're correct. Of course interspersed
images (pixels) themselves within the flow of text would not have to
be inverted. No need to touch these images themselves at all. And I
see your point: surrounding these images on the margins and in spaces
above and below would be that nasty black stuff. How would Word, in a
sense, be able to "separate" each image per se (untouchable) from its
surrounding black crud (touchable)? That's, I guess, one of those
can't-do technical matters I suspected would be there.

Clive's suggestion, with some nice refinements, adds to what I've been
doing when "mixed" web pages occur whether the "black page" problem
arises or not.

My first scenario, though, the one with pure text, would be another
matter.

Should grocery stores be prevented from having 2 for 1 sales, just

And, ultimately, shouldn't MS be able to give away free copies of Office

Word 2013 - Prompted every time to 'select program' to open new, docx files

Posted: 17 Apr 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Using Windows 7 and Office 2013, I'm creating and saving brand new Word files as docx.  When I go back to a file and double click it, I'm asked EVERY TIME "what program do I want to use to open the file" with the selections of searching the web or using a program installed on my computer.  I chose Word every time, and continue to re-save as docx and try again with the same issue. 

And there are no Word logos next to my new docx file names either in the folder--just blank squares.  Whereas Excel and PPT files have the logos, I double click them, the files open up right away--I'm not asked to 'select a program' to open the file.

Please help, thanks!

How can I make Word 2013 open in Draft View by default?

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 09:27 PM PDT

I use Word 2013 on a 14" laptop and the default view, Print Layout, is a colossal waste of space, but I can't get the program to open in Draft View by default. Have done the following:
  • Changed settings to "allow documents to open in Draft View"
  • Saved documents in Draft View...they re-open in Print Layout
  • Tried to change New Document template to Draft View but new documents still only open in Print Layout.

I hope that the answer is not "you have to change to draft view every single time you open a document." There are already a lot more clicks / action in Word 2013 than in previous versions.


Have searched forums but there doesn't seem to be an answer for this in Word 2013.

Thanks for your assistance.

mergefield for date format not working after a computer upgrade

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 08:10 AM PDT

I recently had a computer upgrade, Prior to the upgrade when I used the mergefield format for a date field I could use {MERGEFIELD REQUEST_DATE \ @ "MMMM d, yyyy" } and it would show properly as January 1, 2013, now it will only show 01/01/2013.  Not sure what could have changed in the upgrade, I'm still using the same Word 2010 software.  Any suggestions on what I might need to do to get back to the proper formating of my dates?

How to save word file as normal .doc without '_files'.

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 05:05 AM PDT

We've just had a new computer set up in the office with Windows 7 and running MS Office 2007.

We have a web form for staff to fill in which then saves as a word (.doc) on the shared network drive. We then usually open these in Word, edit them, save them back as a .doc file then email them to head office.

Since having the new computer though, when we try and save the file after editing them, Word seems to create a folder with the same name as the folder but with '_files' at the end which contains 3 files.

We've tried using 'Save As' but then you seem to get stuck in a loop and it keeps asking where you want to save all the time.

When we had Windows XP we never had this issue so it was a case of editing them then either save or close Word and saving on exit and all was fine.


Thanks :)

Task Duration

Posted: 30 Jun 2004 07:02 PM PDT

Rob,

You are correct. Project tracks time to the minute and it
is certainly configurable (limited) via the Tools/Options
tab into hours etc. It becomes more of a problem during
levelling or resolving resource over allocations. A
problem that could be (easily?) resolved if during
levelling it was possible to force project, via a
preference setting, to adjust the duration to the nearest
15 minutes. The transport from Project into the external
accounting system is a manual process at present. The
significance is having project and the accounting systems
balance. Have tried the creation of durations in a
spreadsheet and copy/paste into project....but once
levelling etc is done I get the same result.
What I do is after I finalise a baselined project, then
manually adjust the duration allocation via the Task Usage
for each resource - okay for small projects but an
absolute nightmare for large projects. Even more so when
updating the plan with actuals.
The only other thought I have been "entertaining" is to
write a VB script to do this.....but I would prefer not.

 
recall. It's 
Tools/Options, Schedule tab 
units, and use 
the data out,

Posted: 30 Jun 2004 12:23 PM PDT

Right mouse click on the column header to see "hide" column. As you do

can find this in Help by asking the "answer wizard" that question.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hi,

Just wondering about this. Not sure if this is the right place to send
the question, or whether the answer is already available somewhere, but
I'm really curious:

When you developers work on open-source projects for OpenOffice, are you
paid by your company to do so, or do you do it primarily because of
interest, during your own free time outside of working hours?

Also, just want to say thanks for the great job! I never use MS Office
anymore, except during my finance class where Excel knowledge is
compulsory. But even then, doing everything on Calc first is so much
easier for me.

Thanks,
Alvin

missing "save as" operation

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 11:12 AM PDT

After opening an MSWord ".doc" file, when I click on File and expand the menu, I no longer see "Save As" as an operation.

I see "Save As Web Page", but not simply "Save As".

I am certain I had that option in the past.  I don't know how recently the change occurred or what have might have changed in the interim.

How can I remedy the problem without doing "Detect and Repair" or "Repair Office"?

(I have a "screwy" set-up, and I am afraid that either of those repair operation will alter it undesirably.)

PS:  Of course, my work-around is to copy the ".doc" file to its new name first.  But I would still like to restore the "save as" feature, if I can.

Word 2013 numbered headings

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 06:29 AM PDT

I am using Word 2013 on both my laptop and my desktop. I often want to number my headings with a multilevel style, such as this:

 

1. Heading 1

1.1 Heading 2

2. Heading 1

2.1 Heading 2

2.2. Heading 2

2.2.1 Heading 3

 

This style of numbering is built-in in Word and I have used it often before. On my laptop this is still working fine, but on my desktop if I select the numbered lists, it discards the style of the heading and also the heading templates do not get a number. So if I use the default template in Word 2013, instead of a blue Calibri Light 16 heading, it reverts to calibri 11 with a number in front of it. If I create a new heading 1, it also does not get a number. If I do exactly the same on my laptop, it works fine.

 

Both my laptop and desktop are fully updated with Office 2013.

 

Anybody knows how to fix this strange behaviour? Thank you.

To use official Debian testing or unstable mirrors you need a line like:

unstable with testing if you want that branch instead. Duplicate the libe

The caveat: adding packages from testing or unstable to a stable

some important packages could, and probably will, be upgraded and /could/
stop some software from working. It's better to Google for backports for

While I don't use Fedora, most Linux distros include GCC (The GNU
Compiler Collection), which handles many of the more popular programming
languages, including C and C++. I can't imagine RedHat not including it
in Fedora.

Also, you don't have to be a programmer to compile from source. More
often than not, it's as simple as:

../configure
make
make install

:) I've installed a number of programs this way.

Unable to boot from RAID after fresh install

I know, and the setup program indicates that it will load the megaraid
driver. Still, it doesn't.

The problem seems to be a bug in the SUSE 9.1 install program, probably
related to smp kernels and incorrect module settings. It installs the
smp kernel, but the module paths are incorrect so the kernel cannot find
the modules.

Just for kicks, I tried to install Suse 8.0. That version worked
perfectly. It is rather old, though. Not sure if I'll keep it or not.

Your install doesn't seem to be complete, or you are running an
older version of RH ES/AS? But then you should be able to create
ext2 and (AFAIR) switch on journaling using 'tune2fs' (man tune2fs).

grub manual boot help

Posted: 25 Jun 2004 02:03 AM PDT


I checked menu.1st file, which is linked to grub.conf.

My question is,
how would grub know where the boot partition is located ?
( equivalent to setting " root (hd0,6) " )
Once grub finds out where it is, I am sure one can write a program to go
to the particular partition, but the information seems to be hard coded to
stage1 file.
In this case, is there any other way to direct grub to the boot partition
( which is located in the different partition from the info in stage1 file
) other than reinstalling grub ?

please correct me if i am wrong

Fedora install can't see CD or hard drives

Posted: 24 Jun 2004 03:26 PM PDT

> Wow. How did you manage that? The diskboot image weighs in at 6MB; 

In /pub/linux/fedora/core/1/i386/os/images there's a bootdisk.img that's
1.4M (there's also a diskboot.img that's 6M). But the 1.4M bootdisk is not
in the FC2 release.
 

Thanks for the suggestion. What I ended up doing was finding a grub image
at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/images/hd_grub.img
and copying FC2-CD1 to a Windows partition on the hard drive and pointed
grub to the isolinux directory within that. It then recognized my SCSI
controller and loaded the appropriate driver (aic7xxx) and was able to get
the CDROM after that (but still can't boot from it). Thanks again
Roy.

It worked fine for me as well using Nero 6. I have stopped using Roxio
because with them trying to make it usable by people who barely know
how to switch on a computer, they have made it painfull for people who
have a clue. With nero you just select "Burn Image" and you can then
select the iso file and burn.

dual monitor setup

they work as "dual head" -- I thought it was just BS of
the salesguy to convince me, but no, it did work)

With that, you just have to download the nVidia drivers
(www.nvidia.com, get the IA32 driver, and check APPENDIX I
for instructions to setup the "Twin Mode")

The only detail I have to sort out is that it gives me *one*
desktop as if it were *one* screen at 2048 by 768. In
particular, if a software displays a dialog box centered,
the box will show half on the left monitor, half on the
right monitor :-( I think that's what Xinerama solves,
but I haven't checked how to put the two together.

Microsoft Word - The format of a multi-level list

The format of a multi-level list

Posted: 15 Apr 2013 03:55 AM PDT

I am writing a technical book and used to  be able to create a mutli-level list in the format 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 etc. for headings, sub headings and sub-subheadings respectively. I can no longer do that because the default has somehow changed to I, A, 1 etc which I DO NOT WANT!  How do I change the multi-level list format back to what I had?

Hello, how would I achieve this effect, please

I mean the soft gradient at the top only. I think there are tables hidden in that template which make it difficult to customise, so it would be easier if I started from scratch. Achieving that gradient would be the first step.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Varying Footers in Word 2010 Document

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:17 AM PDT

I have created a document from a template and want to add a footer to last page. I created a page break that is visible when i "show" formatting, but i do not see a 2nd section in the footer area of last page and the "link to previous" button is turned off. I am not seeing anything in the formatting that would cause this.
