you get the idea). The first four tasks can take place any time of the year,
it's only construction that must stop come nov 1st, and restart april 1st.
Is there a way to set working time for each task individually, not the
project as a whole?

Resource name-what does this mean [50%]?

Posted: 06 Jul 2004 04:26 AM PDT

Hi,

Just two ideas to help you understand.

Task duration 0.5 days duration, secretary [50%] does not mean the task
lasts for 1 day, it lasts for 0.5 days, full stop. The WORK on it is 0.25
days

Resources can indeed be overloaded without Project reacting. To make project
recalculate task as a functions of respourxce load use Resource Leveling.

And finally... a basic course or at least some reading of the principles
will help you greatly... if you have to discover Project by guessing every
figure it may take you months.

How Does Project calculate

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:46 PM PDT

Steve,

Perhaps I am using Project incorrectly. I am managing a software team. I set precedences for the tasks in order to try to set the sequential order of tasks to be completed by any given resource - this is how the resource knows what to tackle next. There are linkages in there that are strict, by this I mean that the preceeding tasks absolutely need to complete before the succeeding tasks can occur. However, most of the tasks are linked to determine the sequence of events to occur. The linkage also allows me to figure out when the project would complete. using this method, the resource can easily move around on the tasks since they're weakly linked. If the resource feels that they want to complete the tasks out of order, I just re-order it the way they need to get it done. This is almost as if you would start working on assembling the roof while you wait for more woods to arrive for the completion of the wall, once you complete the wall, you can finish up on the roof and assemble the house... :-)

If you can suggest how I can make sure the resources are utilized correctly without linking sequential tasks, please let me know. I am anxious to learn any new concepts.

Thanks!

Project Compare

Posted: 05 Jul 2004 04:36 PM PDT

Thanks John. I am currently running MSP2003 - the Compare Project is in the toolbar.

Perhaps full history is a wrong choice of words. What I really need is a list of all tasks assigned to the resource in V1 and V2. The union of the tasks in V1 & V2, filtered by the resource. Is there a specific table I should select that would enable me to see all of this?

Hi,

Here's a list I've been keeping of 3rd Party Project-esq

these myself, so I can't recommend one over another.

Cannot get Word 2007 to display all the tool bars on startup

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 07:33 AM PDT

When I first start up Word document only the following toolbars appear HOME, INSERT, PAGE LAYOUT, REFERENCE, MAILING,REVIEW, REVIEW.
I would like to see all the toolbar displayed for clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles, editing etc. and remain on.  It happened before and I was able to accidentally correct it  This happened recently when I tried to convert a document  sent by mail from word to PDF.  I am not sure if the problem is related to that.

Thanks for any help you can give

why do I have to type a space after punctuation to see the character?

Posted: 27 Apr 2013 02:02 AM PDT

for instance when I type an opening quotation mark, the character does't appear until I type another character or a space.

the same is true of other quotation characters which normally appear in the superscript position such as "'" or "-"

This is such an annoying thing, I like to see the characters appear as I type, otherwise I loose concentration.

Margin on bottom of page get longer every page. And why does everything indent when I press tab for just one line?

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 01:52 PM PDT

I'm writing an essay for college and I noticed after I printed it that the bottom margin gets longer in every page. It'd be 1" on the first page then go to 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" and so on. Also when typing my works cited, how do you stop the whole thing from indenting after you press tab to indent the second line in a source?

Microsoft manual?

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 01:21 PM PDT

Can it really be true that Microsoft would develop such a wonderful and complex system as Word 2010, with all its abilities (I'm just getting into the finer points of templates and styles, having worked without them in the past), and not have produced an *official* manual or user guide? Surely it must be unheard of to produce a complex product and not issue a comprehensive manual for its users?

format mark/macro?

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 12:17 PM PDT

I have Word 2010 on a laptop running Windows 7.  I am looking for a way find and replace text involving numbers, letters and punctuation and have hit a road block.  A sample of the text would be:


Gusset

With MC, ch 4.

1st row: (WS). 2 dc in 4th ch from hook (counts as 3 dc). Turn.

2nd row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each dc across. Turn.

3rd row: Ch 3. 1 dc in first sc. 1 dc in next sc. 2 dc in last sc. Turn.

4th row: As 2nd row.

5th row: Ch 3. 1 dc in first sc. 1 dc in each of next 3 sc. 2 dc in last sc. Turn. 7 dc.

6th row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each dc across. Turn.



I want to delete all text that begins with a number and ends with a colon. (1st row:  2nd row: etc) I don't want to replace the text with anything else.  I can't find the proper format marks or wildcards to do this.  I would love to know what to put into the find and replace dialog box as well as record a macro (I want to record it because I have no idea how to write it!).  I would like the macro to be available to all templates, not just the one I'm using right now.

Thanks in advance!

No tabs only windows available?

Posted: 26 Apr 2013 01:22 AM PDT

Is it true that you can't open a new document in the same window like tabs in firefox?  As near as I can tell there is no option to open a new tab, but only new windows.  I bought this two days ago at a store, and it was the only word processor program that they had.

I want to grab some docs off of the net, but it is annoying to have so many windows on the screen.

I am trying to create a Macro to sort a list, but within the Macro I want to delete the Styles "Hyperlink", if it exists or skip delete if it does not.

I have created the following Macro to do this, but I am newish to VBA and can not get it to work:

 

Sub Sort_List()
'Sort List

    ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = Not ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll

    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory

    If ActiveDocument.Styles("Hyperlink") Then GoTo Delete Else GoTo Save

 

Delete:
    ActiveDocument.Styles("Hyperlink").Delete
    CommandBars("Styles").Visible = False

 

Save:
    ActiveDocument.Save
End Sub

Please can you help me to fix the error from the If... part of my Macro.

 

Thank you in advance

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

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?

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.

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.
