Of course there's no reboot needed, simply changing /etc/fstab is
all needed, welcome to the world of real computing.;)

Good luck

o2Micro PCMCIA Controller Not Working in Linux - Gentoo 2004.1 - Kernel 2.6.5 - Likely a driver issue?

Posted: 04 Jul 2004 02:34 PM PDT

Kevin Hall <ziggycpu.at.hotmail.com> writes:
 

For what its worth, on my Winbook J4, I had similar problems, and it seemed to
be related to the order the drivers are loaded or the ports loaded (problem was
if the wireless driver was loaded before the pcmcia drivers). If I wrote an
init script that ran before network/pcmcia scripts, and did a modprobe in the
following order:

yenta_socket
pcmcia_core
ds
orinoco_pci
usb-controller
8139too

Obviously for your system you will have to adjust to your local laptop
(yenta_socket is the basic pcmcia controller, orinoco_pci is my wireless card,
and 8139too is my ethernet).

I also needed to exclude IRQ 9 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to get ACPI to work,
and the following declarations that I initially used for a Toshiba Tecra, but
evidently I still need with the J4:

include port 0x100-0x4ff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

Macro-enabled templates prompt to save the template when closing documents created using the template

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 07:18 AM PDT

I've had a long-standing problem whereby a documents created from a macro-enabled template prompt me to save changes to the template when you close the newly-created document.  I thought that I'd try to simplify the problem by merely creating a blank macro-enabled template, with no macros or any other features and I get exactly the same problem.  It is incredibly frustrating to have to endlessly keep clicking the No button, especially when there have been no changes made to the template itself!

Does anyone else see this?  Has anyone found a way to avoid this?

auto return for word 2010

Posted: 25 Apr 2013 01:25 PM PDT

I am creating a fill-in form using legacy forms under developer tab. I have used text box and applied Special Effect - 0-fmSpecialEffectFlat under properties to make the box disappear and applied underline to make it fillable.

 

I need to create a section for customer comments where each line is underlined and auto return is applied so that at the end of each line, text continues to the second line.  This needs to be fillable as well.  Multi-line text box will be ideal but no idea if that is even available or not.

 

I have googled under "Auto-Return" and "Carriage-Return" with no success.

Also tried inserting table to substitute this but realized that table does not let you fill-in when protected under "Filling in forms".

Placing a text box inside the table put me right back to where I got started with this issue.

 

Can anyone advise?

kernel panic on boot

Thanks for the response. This is a first time install on this machine,
and I haven't had luck yet. I am doing a sort of LinuxFromScratch

to a known working .config to see if i was overlooking something. I
have tried both XFS and EXT3, and on both the messages that show:

XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2

Even when the / partition is EXT3, these XFS errors show.

Does Mac Office '08 work with iPages?

Posted: 21 Oct 2007 09:33 AM PDT

Your Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files will open fine in both MacOffice
2004/2008 and iWork (Pages is just the word-processing part of iWork).
There might be some adjustments if you used certain complex features,
and people have had problems with cross-platform graphics. But both Mac
and Win Office used the same basic file format from WinOffice 97 to
MacOffice 2004.

But you'll want to keep Office 2000 in Parallels for Publisher anyhow
(or to export the Publisher files to Word), so that will always be a
backup if necessary.

Probably better to use Pages to replace Publisher than Word, by the way.

MacOffice will *not* open your Pages/Numbers/Keynote files, but you can
use Pages/Numbers/Keynote to Export into the MacOffice format.

Posted: 21 Oct 2007 09:26 AM PDT

I'm still not totally following--but you know what? Doesn't really
matter. Download the Office 2004 Test Drive, install it, and try using
it. That's really the only way to tell if the proposed workflow will
work for you. Whether you do certain work in Windows or Mac or
integrate it all together is mostly just a matter of personal preference
based on which programs you would rather be using for a particular
task. Only using the programs will let you figure out if there are any
things that will force you to use one or the other.

Just be sure to REMOVE the Test Drive before installing a full version
of Mac Office.

I've messed up the superscript

SOMEHOW, and I'm thinking "Only you, man, only YOU!" I've managed to reprogram or disable - just completely mess up the superscript command for Microsoft Office 2003 (Teachers and Students Edition).  Big time.  I have uninstalled the program and re-installed it, completely, and it still won't work.  That is, when I highlight a number that I want to SUPERSCRIPT, and click on the SUPERSCRIPT button, nothing happens.  At all.  When I go to FORMAT, and select SUPERSCRIPT, it works.  But . . . that is SUCH a pain!  I work a lot with the Bible, and I like the verse number to be superscripted.   Does anyone have a clue as to how to RE-SET the SUPERSCRIPT feature?

Office Starter Pack 2010

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 11:44 PM PDT

I have recently purchased a new HP Pavillion dv6 with Windows 7 installed whilst working in Malaysia.

I did not realise until I returned home it did not come with Office installed - only had the Office Starter 2010.

I can open some pdf's I have stored on my laptop with Adobe Reader but others I cannot (never had a problem opening them before I bought a new computer).

I get a message that I have to install or re-install a FileOpen plug-in. No matter how many times I install I still get the same message.

Other times (when I think I have sucessfully installed the plug-in) it comes up with "Drawing Error" or "Cannot find or create the font Arial-BoldMT."

So I check and then find Arial-BoldMT is not installed on my computer.

That was where I started thinking maybe the font didn't come with the Starter Pack and I would need to purchase Office.

So, I go on-line and that is where the second part of my problem arises.

 

I tried to purchase Office on the internet from Microsoft and because I am not located in the same country as my billing address (working in Malaysia / billing address in Thailand) it will not accept my credit card.

I have some very important pdf's I need to open and I am not due to return to Thailand for 1 month.

 

Can anyone assist with help on my first problem and advice on my second problem.

Proofing errors have been found

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 06:55 PM PDT

After completing a large edit with nearly 5,000 errors, I see that Word 2010 shows an icon at the foot of the screen showing a red cross through a book. Hovering over this produces the message 'Proofing errors have been found. Click to correct'. As I find that F7 gives many silly suggestions (some of them illiterate) I do not accept them all, so no way am I going to let Word just 'fix' the errors it perceives authomatically. How can I see what these supposed 'proofing errors' are indivdually?

Do Changes to the Last Paragraph Mark Risk Corruption?

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 04:29 PM PDT

I have been told that in earlier versions of Word that selecting the last paragraph mark and changing things such as font size risks corrupting the document. Is this true in Word 2010? Or was it ever true?

 

Our situation is that we often end a document with a table, and a blank last page is created if the last paragraph mark (that follows the table) will not fit on the same page with the last table. This can usually be fixed by selecting the last paragaph mark, setting the space before and space after to zero, and/or setting the font size to 1. Is this a safe practice, or can we expect to see corrupted documents popping up soon?

How do I keep my page numbers consecutive when using page breaks in word?

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 02:01 PM PDT

I have a document with multiple section breaks and over 100 pages.  However, this has been reduced down from 222 pages, which used to include even more section breaks.

I'm now trying to include page numbers on every single page.  Some of the sections are "linked" to previous sections, while others are not.   What I've found when these that aren't linked are linked to the page numbers, I'm getting weird numbers popping up.  For example, when linking section 3 to the first 2 sections, my page numbers went from 4 to 12.  

I really have no idea how to fix this, but don't want to manually input that many pages into my document.  Please let me know if there is an easier way!

I have read lots of posts about mail merge include image and am experiencing similar problems

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 12:48 PM PDT

The suggested method of inserting the {INCLUDEPICTURE} Merge tag on the MS Help site did not work.  They asked me to insert a linked image and then press alt + f9.  This did not alter my picture to display code.

Instead I inserted the following manually, using ctrl+f9

The later part appeared to work correctly, however it does not display a picture only the correct string.  Please advice if you see a syntax error or have some advice for me as how to make the insert linked image method work a little better.

Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer

Microsoft Word - Inserting Page Number in Footer


Inserting Page Number in Footer

Posted: 23 Apr 2013 10:38 AM PDT

Ok - this used to easy but Microsoft has now made it difficult.

I want to insert page numbers in the footer.  I like the "Page 1 of 3" page numbering. 

In the good ole days of earlier versions, you just started typing "Page 1 of" and word would complete the page numbering. 

In Word 2010 is doesn't work anymore. 

OK - so now I go into "Insert" then "Header & Footer" then "Page Number".  I scroll down and there I find my favorite "Page 1 of 3" page numbering.  Success Right?  No.  When I insert the page numbering all of the rest of the footer text disappears!  Cute huh?  Who dreamed that up?

Ok - so now I have a solution.   I insert the Page number in the footer (which causes the text in the footer to disappear).  I then copy the Page number, then click on "Go Back" which reinserts the deleted text.  I then past the page number back into the footer. 

I can't believe Microsoft would have created such an inefficient method of inserting page numbers.  There must be an easier way.

How do I insert page numbers into the Footer without deleting the text?

I am trying to create a .pdf file for a Word 2010 .docx document.  When I SAVE AS from the .docx, it saves as a .pdf, but then I can't open the .pdf unless I have Adobe software.  In fact, I DO have Adobe Acrobat X Standard (which I purchased within the last couple of years).  But when I try to open the .pdf file I "SAVE AS"ed, I get an Adobe window that basically says my serial number from Adobe Acrobat X Standard is valid, but I need to purchase "Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard Windows" in order to open the .pdf file I created.

 

I don't understand what Adobe is doing except possibly a cash grab, but I thought there was a way to just save a Word 2010 document as a .pdf and have it open.

 

I'm very confused.  I'm really hoping someone can help me out.

 

Thanks.

Centring text in Word 2003

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 06:14 PM PDT

When I try to centre a single line of text in any document it centres all the text, when I go to another line to try to left align it all lines in the document are then left aligned.  It didn't used to happen and is occuring in both existing documents and new documents.

How do I kill a print job on a PC?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:49 PM PDT

This easy on my MacBook, but can't for the life figure out how to do this simple task of killing a Word print job on my PC.

I have a Brother HL 2270 Laser Printer which is great, but does not have any place on the printer to kill the job.

When printing on my MacBook, a printer dialogue box opens up, I click on the "X" and poof!  The print job stops - Easy!

When printing from my PC, there is no dialogue box and I can't find anyplace else to kill the job, either from within Work, or outside work.

Help me stop burning up expensive paper and Toner Cartridge ink!

Combining files into one folder

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 04:34 PM PDT

I write a series of lessons of 8 separate lessons - each one file.  They are scattered among many files.  So messy.  I want to move all of the lesson files into one folder for easy accessibility rather than hunting through all the files to find the one I want.
I am working in Windows 8.

Footnotes at the end of sections?

Can I place footnotes at the end of sections rather than at the bottom of the page or at the end of the document?

 

Thank you.

Word completes 'includ' with 'include' with no warning or request, so typing 'included' becomes 'includeed'

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 12:00 PM PDT

I just installed Word 2013 and I often type the word 'included' in bid forms.  However, Word automatically adds the 'e' once I've typed 'includ' and as I continue typing I add an 'e' for the 'ed' part of the word but Word has already included it for me.

 

This is the only word I've found it act this way for.  What's up?  I don't want to randomly have Word type for me without notice.

Where do we change the autocorrect Replace as you type settings in Word 2010?

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 11:19 AM PDT

We have a macro in Wordd 2002 that replaces all smart quotes with straight quotes to prep Word documents so they convert correctly when we create our mainframe files. We need to find the screen in Word 2010 where we change the "Replace as you type" options if there is such a thing.  We will be running Word 2010 on either an XP or Windows 7 pc.  In our version of Word these settings are on the Autocorrect - Replace as you type tab. For example, we uncheck "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" because the smart quotes don't convert properly.

 

Thanks for the help!!

A question about Sections (Word 2010)

Posted: 22 Apr 2013 10:52 AM PDT

 My document has three levels of organization, of which the top two are of concern here. I want the top level, 1, to have endnotes numbered in one continuous sequence, to simplify finding the right endnote. Each level 1 part has several level 2 parts within it. Each level 2 part should have a separate page header so the reader will know where he/she is down to level 2. To accommodate the first requirement, I give each level 1 its own Word Section. To accommodate the second requirement, each level 2 part must have its own Word Section. It seems that these needs are incompatible. Is there any way around this?

I have thought of modifying the endnotes to look like this: (D is the level 1 part and 3 is the level 2 part within D.)
D3, 27 Smith, Joe. Why We Love Dogs, p. 66. The 27 is what the endnote logic put in and the D3 is put in manually for each endnote in part D3.

This would not be difficult with macros but maybe there is a better way.

populate changing text

Posted: 18 Apr 2013 08:24 AM PDT

I think this is a pretty tough one.....

 

I have a form that has some checkboxes there is a block of text that will populate for each checkbox that is checked. I need to insert this text at a specific point in the document. Here's the tricky part though.... I need the text to change depending on answers in previous formfields

 

The issues discovered were (TextFormField1). They were discovered on (FormField2) at (FormField3)..... Etc.

 

Is there a way to get the text to change based on an answer in a previous form field?
