Calculating both ends of a project

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:58 PM PDT

Hi Deluth,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Reading between you lines, I get the impression that you are typing in the
dates for your tasks. Doing this will create constraints that are causing
the problems you see. Try View/Table: Entry/More Tables.../ and select
Constraint Dates. Reset all the Constraints to As Soon As Possible to
remove the Constraints (Change the top one and Fill Down). Project is
designed to work by scheduling from the Project Start Date (set in
Project/Project Information). So, for each task, enter the Duration and
then the Precedence logic links. Project will then calculate the Start and
Finish Dates for you.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

dependencies so that if I set the start date of the first task, it would
calculate everything in the middle and then the end date to the last task.
However, if I set the end date to the last task, I would also like the same
calculation to occur for all the middle tasks back to the first task. I
tried doing this, but could not because the middle tasks can not be both a
predecessor to the same task that it depends on. Is there anyway I can
accomplish this? Thanks for the help.

How to prevent splits

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:48 PM PDT


Deluth,
Take a look at Tools/Options/Schedule tab. There is an option in the
lower portion of the schedule options window for "split in-progress
tasks". The default is a check for this option. Depending on which
version of Project you have, select the help topic to get an explanation
of what "split in-progress tasks" means. I think you will find that some
of your tasks are being split because a successor task is being
performed ahead of its predecessor (based on one of your other posts).

Hope this helps.

Setting Start and Finish Constraints

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 01:45 PM PDT


Jim,
It sounds like you may be talking about what is called a "hammock task".
A hammock task has its Start date constrained to start simultaneously
with one or more other tasks and its Finish date tied to finish
simultaneously with one or more other tasks, but not necessarily the
same tasks that drive the Start date. For information on hammock tasks
and how to set them up, go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 19 - Hammock Tasks

Hope this helps.

Custom Field

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 07:02 AM PDT

Hi again,

Are you in a version 2000 or later? Because it is not possible in 98!
In 2000 or later look for customized fields
Tools, customize, fields, Formula, look up the help

May I also recommend the newsgroup

Cela va bien vous faciliter la vie car on parle le plus souvent de la

upgrade to 03 from 98

Posted: 02 Jul 2004 01:42 PM PDT

I guess the better question is:

Project 98 is installed on another computer. However, the
computer we want to upgrade to does not have project 98.
We have lost the original cd-rom.

How can we upgrade to 2003? Do we need to get a
replacement cd and if so, how?

thanks

Hi folks,
I am a Canadian speaking and writing 4 languages and upon trying to install a german language pack I realised that parts of it got called "hun-spell".
I wonder who the idiot was who came up with "hun-spell" for the german language pack in the first place. I guess its the same type of narrow minded jackass who came up with "freedom-fries".
Really guys, this is one blatant and frightening piece of ignorance that does not fit a opensource project like openoffice. Until corrected to something like "ger-spell" I shall refuse to use open office nor will I recommend it!
Regards
Jaques

Hallo Leute, die IdiotIN, die die deutsche Spracherfassung von openoffice "hun-spell" genannt hat ist wahrscheinlich der gleichen Spezies von US-Ami zuzuordnen, die French-Fries in Freedom-Fries umbennen wollte. Bis der Titel fuer die deutsche Sprachversion neu- und umbenannt ist, werde ich openoffice nicht benutzen und auch nicht empfehlen.
Gruss

Word crashes upon first attempt to cut or copy text

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 05:58 PM PDT

This applies only to first Word file opened when the program is started. After the crash Word sometimes restarts automatically and is OK or I get the "document recovery" screen with one "available file" to restart. Clicking on that brings up the file and then I can either cut or copy/paste text without a problem, including for different files opened in that Word session. These are text files with no bullets or other formatting. I am using the Windows Vista Business version of Office 2007, Service Pack 2. Thank you for any suggestions to fix this bug.

Misbehaving custom table in the Quick Tables gallery when inserting new column

Dear All,

We have our own corporate template with two types of table - both tables are saved in the Quick Tables gallery.

What is wrong?

Any ideas are welcomed.
Thank you,

Word 2010 - User Form With Text Fields

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 04:03 PM PDT

I want to prepare a form document to use over and over.  I want fields in numerous places where the I and/or another user can enter text they want.  Because many people my use my form, I want to "lock" the fields so that none of the document text - other than the text fields - can be alterd. 

Is that no longer possible?  PLEASE help.  I have searched and searched.  Word becomes more and more frustrating and for the simplest of actions.

Thanks to anyone that could help

Word 2010 will not Save/Save As/Open

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 10:32 AM PDT

I have a client who is a Windows 7 Pro x64 user on a domain using Office 2010. When he opens Word and starts a new document, from the File menu, clicking Save, Save As or Open will do nothing but return him to the Home tab viewing the document. There is no error, no indication that Word is trying to do something, it just goes back to the document view. This problem does not occur in Outlook or Excel.

I checked his Save options to see what the default save location is and it is set to save to the network share, but pressing the Browse button to the right has no effect.

It appears that any action that Word tries to do that requires opening a browse window fails. If I select Save and Send from the File menu, I can successfully email the document, but it is titled Document1, but doesn't save it in the default location for the machine. Tried starting Word in Safe mode and get the same result. When I log in to the computer using admin creds, Word works just fine. I logged in as another user who had never logged in to that computer before and it worked fine. Tried renaming his account profile and forcing Windows to create a new user profile for him, but it wouldn't create the new profile, if pushed it into a temporary user account. Thinking it might have been something quirky or corrupted with his domain account, I logged in to another computer in the domain using his creds and Word works fine, his profile gets created normally.

I deleted Normal.dotm; I deleted the Word registry entries in HK_CU_Software_Microsoft_Office_14.0; I have attempted repair installations twice. My next step is to uninstall and reinstall Word, then a complete system wipe. I'm hesitant, though, because Word works on other user profiles.

What am I missing? Any other suggestions?

Easily apply corporate colours to text?

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 08:24 AM PDT

Hello, we have a letterhead file that staff use when preparing reports.

Right now all the text is black, using our corporate font, etc....

Sometimes we'll need some text (e.g. body text, or a heading) to be styled into our corporate colours. So what we currently do is highlight the text, click 'Font Colour', then click 'More Colours', then type in the custom RGB numbers. At this point the colour is saved under' Recent Colours' but only temporarily. 

I'd like to somehow have the colours quickly accessible (e.g. if it permanently showed up under Recent Colours that'd be great). Also, if this 'setting' could be saved into the Letterhead file that'd be even better.

E.g. a solution that requires configuring each user's Word 2010 application would not be preferred.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Help with margins when another document has been inserted with different margins.

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 09:34 AM PDT

I have a main document which has had 2 other documents inserted into the main document making it a few pages long.   I have had to amend the headings into styles etc but there is a couple of paragraphs which have margins at the RH side of the page and the text doesn't go all the way across as it does in the rest of the document.  I've tried highlighting all the text and going into page setup to amend the margin but it doesn't change anything.

 

How can I fix this so that all the margins in the entire document are the same?

 

 

Accents for Yale romanization of Cantonese

Posted: 20 Apr 2013 07:08 AM PDT

In the Yale romanization system, word tones are represented through the use of accents (grave, acute and macron) and 'h'.

Normally this is not a problem as the accent often appears above the first vowel as in many other languages, so these characters are easy to find and allocate shortcut keys for. But in Cantonese Yale romanization there is also need for 'm̀' ('m' with a grave accent).

I can't find the 'm̀' character anywhere on the symbol insert list in Word 2010.
Is there a way to get this character that does not involve scouring the net for an example to copy and paste?

You should check some of the real time black hole lists to see if you are on

If it were your AD at fault you would have perhaps an hour or more

Limitations of styles and unwanted format changes

Posted: 19 Apr 2013 03:29 PM PDT

My document has hundreds of tables in dozens of different formats. A style can handle only a very limited number of features - for example suppose the first word(s) are in bold and the rest of the sentence is not bold. I don't think I can assign a style to the bold part and another style to the not-bold part. When I write the docx out and read it in, the style (apparently) is reapplied, switching the table to all bold or all not-bold. This is extremely annoying. Also line spacing irregularities are reapplied, causing unwanted format changes. This sucks. What is the best way to handle this? Why isn't there a style that says "Don't change the format?" (Restricting editing allows formats to change.)

Word italicizes first level of TOC and I don't want it to

Posted: 19 Apr 2013 12:44 PM PDT

Hello.  I have a large document that has two levels of the TOC

 

It is a manually created TOC where I depended upon identifying the level when I typed in the text.

 

When I update the TOC the first levels are all italicized (and shouldn't be).  How can I change this?  I can manually go in and highlight each line and change it to regular but the next time it is updated it changes  back.  I looked at the Heading 1 "properties if you will" and found nothing there.

 

Please help and thank you

Diacritics not rendering properly in Office 2013

Posted: 14 Apr 2013 07:17 PM PDT

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Office 2013 and noticed that diacritics are not being rendered properly.

Here is a link to some Hebrew text with diacritics created in Word 2013.

The bottom paragraph is displayed properly whereas the top paragraph is not.

The only fonts that seem to be displaying these diacritics properly is SBL_Hebrew and Ezra_Sil which are fonts very much designed for Hebrew Unicode diacritics. The thing is the diacritics did work properly with many other fonts in Office 2010 including the font used for the top paragraph. Why are other fonts no longer working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS. After the upgrade to Office 2013 even programs such as Notepad no longer display these fonts properly.
