I am trying to create an IF function in a word table. I keep getting Syntax error.

Posted: 03 May 2013 05:52 PM PDT

There is little information on the web about it.  I want to do this.  =IF(Boomark)="R",0,0.1)  This is to be able to give a conditional result depending on the letter entered in a bookmarked field.  Unfortunalety no combination of code, spaces, commas, brakets, inverted commas or the like will give me a result. 

I am using 64 bit operating system.

{=IF{Bookmark}="R",0,0.1},  or any combination I have tried does not work.  I most get syntax error but also get bookmark error in some combinations.

Resource sharing problems

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 07:51 AM PDT


Hi Jan,

Thanks. I figured it out: 1)I had to have the resource
pool project open, 2) Share the resources (from resource
pool project' in subproject1, 3) Share the resources
(from resource pool project' in subproject 2, then 4)When
using the master file (or any subprojects), the resource
pool file has to be open as well. #4 was the trouble for
me....

Anyway, thanks for your response.

Should I be using estimated durations?

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 06:04 AM PDT

Jeremy,

To add to Steve's comments, if you don't have historical performance, then
all you have is an estimate.

To the best of your ability, try to get directly comparable experience when
making your estimate. And if you don't have the experience, find someone who
does or find someone who can find someone ...

And, as you run your project, keep track of actual results. Use the actual
results to improve your future projects.

FYI I teach a great program on estimating (he says modestly)...

entering "Actual Work" for that task. Then I go to the Gantt Chart/Work

Project Progress Lines

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 02:28 AM PDT

Hello Steve,
I totally agree with Rod Gill's principles of tracking. I never use the
Progress line for traking a project. These Progress Lines are an heritage of
the elastics used in the old days wall slot-in planners.
But if you really want to say that today you already worked on the next
week, you can check the following option, before entering the actual data :
Tools / Options / Calculation / Edits to totals task % complete will be
spread to the status date.

daily cost

Posted: 14 Jul 2004 02:10 AM PDT

You've stumbled over one reason why I frequently say Project is not a
replacement for accounting software. It's the accounting system that should
be tracking the overall finances of the firm. Project's budget is only a
small part of that, one contributing expense out of many. If I have a
resource that gets $100 per day and I use him for 4 hours on one of the days
in my Project, the cost to the firm may well be $100 but the specific cost
of using him in my project for that day is $50. The other $50 is part of
the firm's overhead (if he didn't do anything else) or part of the budget
for whatever it was he did the other 4 hours of the day but emphatically
should NOT be included as part of the project's costs. MS Project does a
good job of tracking the actual budget of the project but it's not intended
to track the impact of those costs on the overall budget of the firm. Look
at it this way - the project budget, which consists mainly of resource
costs, is the cost of doing that specific project. If we didn't do it at
all, the budget *for that project* would be zero even though the firm would
still have to pay out the same amount of money in salary to the resources on
staff.

Duration vs Work Effort in Overallocations

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 10:00 PM PDT

You have a couple of options. The fundamental identity in Project is
Work=Duration*Effort and you cannot under any circumstances violate that.

Assuming here that Mary is available for a maximum of 100% thus she is
overallocated when she is used more than that over any time period, even one
minute. In your example you have Mary's work is 1/4 hour on each of two
tasks and each task has 1 day duration. At face value that corresponds to
an effort percentage of about 3%. So if the two tasks are scheduled on the
same day she is only being utilized a total of 6% and the overallocation
will go away by making her assignment to each task 3% and the duration one
day.

Another way to resolve it is to set the duration of the task to reflect the
actual time that you expect it will take each one to complete when it
starts. IMHO, this is the preferred way. She may only need to get the task
done sometime on Tuesday but that does NOT mean that the task is one day in
duration. If the task requires 1/4 man-hour of work to do and when Mary
starts on it she will devote her full attendtion to it, then the duration is
..25 hours. The fact that she could do it anytime on Tuesday that she likes
is irrelevant. I'd make the task's duration 1/4 hour, her assignment
percentage 100% and let Project calculate the work. If both tasks are
placed on Tuesday by a predecessor that finishes Monday, as an example, they
will initially both start at 8am and Mary will be overallocated. But
resource leveling on a minute-by-minute basis will take care of that,
shifting one task to start when the other has finished with a resulting
schedule showing Mary working a total of 30 min, task A from 08:00 to 08:15
and task B 08:15-08:30. This way Mary shows free for another 7 1/2 hours of
work that day and whatever follows on after those two tasks can get
scheduled on Tuesday rather than Wednesday, generally a good thing to get
your project done sooner.

task lenght doubles when second resource is allocated

Posted: 13 Jul 2004 11:30 AM PDT

The percent is the percentage of the resource's workday, not the percent of
the task's total effort that each one does. If someone is doing 1 man-hour
work on a task whose time extends over an 8 hour workday, they're working at
13%. They may be the only person on the task or one of a hundred people, it
doesn't matter. 13% means the task requires 1 man-hour to do but extends in
time over about 8 hours because the resource is doing other things at the
same time. If he works at it 100%, he will do the required 1 man-hour in
one hour time start-to-finish. 100 resources doing 100 man-hours of work at
100% effort is entirely possible and that task too will run for 1 hour on
the clock.

Resources Overallocated with .08 hours/day!

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 10:10 AM PDT

How many total hours do you have allocated to that
resource per week? I hesitated to respond to this because
I vaguely remeber the nightmare this gave me. It seemed
as if MS Project 2002 had a bug in this area. I remember
going to resource usage (or allocation) and manually
deleting the areas that were red. Add another resource if
everyone else is overloaded. Also check to see if the
resource is assigned 100% to your project.

 
I have to clarify. 
are only set to work for 7.2 hours/day. Their typical
work day is 8 hours (as is set in the calendar).
Sometimes they show as overallocated when they only have 1
hour of work per day! 
them it fixes things, and the overallocation is gone, but
I shouldn't have to do this!

This question is actually for all versions of Word 97-2013 on any operating system.

I would like the numbers for numbered paragraphs to be right-aligned before the paragraph, I would get:

  8. Paragraph 8
  9. Paragraph 9
10. Paragraph 10

I haven't figured out a way to do this with automatic numbering.

What I get instead is:

10. Paragraph 10

I am probably missing something fairly simple but this has puzzled me for years and I simply gave up.

Which comp best for Linux?

Posted: 11 Jul 2004 03:30 PM PDT

AUWG <net> wrote in message news:<net>... 

Probably the only problem Linux will present with a brand new computer
will be hardware, that is, not the processor itself, but devices
attached to it. Very new hardware sometimes is not supported by any
distribution of Linux, because no one has written drivers for it yet.
The various distros (RedHat, Suse, ...) have lists of hardware that
are known to work with their distro. Also, unusual hardware is
sometimes not supported. Laptops might give more trouble in this
regard than desktop models, although Linux works well on many laptops.

In the past I have bought Dell computers and installed Linux, but
several times I had trouble with a new video card that wasn't yet
supported. I haven't done this in recent years, but I hear that there
are issues with Linux and currently popular video cards (nvidia, ati),
and personally I would research this question before investing in a
new video card and/or monitor.

A special issue is modems. So-called winmodems are modems with some
of the usual hardware functions taken over by software, thus these are
cheaper than modems that do everything in hardware. Moreover, the
software that runs winmodems is proprietary and only works on Windows,
hence winmodems are a bad idea in Linux (although I've heard that
lately some Linux support for winmodems is available). If I were
buying a new computer today that needed a modem, I'd research the
modem question carefully before investing my money.

I'll bet that if you bought a second hand computer, 1-2 years old,
you'd find that you could install almost any distro of Linux and it
would work fine, apart from problems with winmodems.

Another thing, you probably want at least 512MB RAM if you're going to
run the standard desktops (KDE or Gnome).

News: Mac BU sweetens Office 2008 upgrade deal (Updated)

Posted: 01 Nov 2007 02:29 PM PDT

Hi Andre:

Not any more, according to my rumours. They are apparently intending to do
an upgrade release of VBA in Office PC. I understand that the death of VBA
is one of those about which reports have been "greatly exaggerated".

I would expect a migration to VBA.NET at some point in the future, but not
the abandonment of VBA.

I can't think of any "open standard" language that would simultaneously be
compatible with AppleScript and with the Microsoft Office object model.

The architectures are completely different.

I know there were some anti-VBA zealots in Microsoft on the PC side that
"wanted" to get rid of VBA. But the Fortune 500 companies all picked up the
phone to Bill Gates in unison and said "no". And some of them were not
especially polite. It won't happen. Not in Steve Ballmer's lifetime :-)

I also believe that if the Mac business community can make enough noise (and
maybe resist buying Office 2008) that VBA will re-appear in a future version
of Mac Office.

The bottom line is that an Office suite without automation is simply not
useful in modern business. And no corporation can afford to develop and
maintain two versions of the automation code. Read my lips: this is not
going to happen :-) Corporate automation is not simple stuff that can be
"recorded" from a few keystrokes or assembled from Automator Actions. Some
of these things are major development projects that may occupy three or four
developers for a year or more.

So: Unless Macs start to out-sell PCs in corporate business, the automation
will be written in VBA, and until Mac Office learns to speak VBA again, it
simply isn't "Office". It's just not "useful" in business.

That's why you are "hearing" a stunned silence from the Mac community.
Sure, the Mac Macs and the home users are rabbiting on at great length. But
they are easily impressed by the reality distortion field large software
companies can create.

The rest of us are looking at this thing with dawning horror, and wondering
how on earth we are going to get our work done in an Office 2008 world.

Abandoning our Macs is not going to happen :-) VBA.NET is a possibility, if
we get the promised "automatic upgrade" from VBA.

There are other possibilities that I am sure Microsoft would rather we did
not speculate about :-)

Cheers

No. a Talk list is via a subscription and email. You can receive individual
messages or a digest. There is usually a list mom that moderates the list.

Good talk lists rarely need moderation and rules are there to make the list
friendly to all. Besides the Entourage talk list, there are two general Mac
lists that I recommend.

Mac-L (moderated list....includes both OS 9 and X.) and OSX talk (moderated
list. just for OS X.). Both good places to learn and ask about any Mac
problems. Both require plain text only email and that messages be snipped
for clarity.

Upgrading to OS X Leopard

Posted: 01 Nov 2007 09:21 AM PDT

You know something? This group is here to help people who don't know what
to do.

So it would follow that heaping scorn on the people who come here for help,
just because they do not know something, would be a tad self-defeating, no?

Then again, if you couldn't even work THAT out for yourself, I guess I
shouldn't be scornful to you, now should I?

So I won't say it.

But can you guess what I'm thinking?

Trouble upgrading from Office X to Office 2004

Posted: 01 Nov 2007 06:51 AM PDT

On Nov 1, 10:39 am, JE McGimpsey <org> wrote: 

Thanks for the tip. While the link was for an Intel mac & I've got a
G4 PPC, I followed the directions anyway.
I reapplyed the 10.4.10 combo update, prebinding, and the Quicktime
7.2 update. I even went thru the daily, weekly, & monthly maintenance
routines.
None of this worked.

I finally solved the problem by updating office on the OS 10.3.9
startup disk. Then, using Tiger's Migration Assistant, I brought
Office 2004 to the 10.4.10 disk where its working perfectly.

Office 2001 settings migration

Posted: 31 Oct 2007 11:08 AM PDT

Hi Lucas:

If you are familiar with the product, it takes a little over 60 seconds to
re-create the settings most users have. A new user may take up to five
minutes: although most of the settings are in exactly the same places as
they were in Office 2001.

As a network administrator, you can build an installed image of the software
and move that out to the users, with many of the settings pre-configured (as
described in the Office 2004 Resource Kit on the Microsoft website).

I suspect your faculty has a severe case of "Fear of Change". It wouldn't
be the first company I have met in that condition :-)

Cheers

Good morning
Is there a way to migrate the settings from Office 2001, to Office 2004?

One our faculty is adamant that recreating the Office settings in 2004 will
take an exorbitant amount of time, and it would be much easier to migrate
the
settings.

I have searched for a migrations method, or settings location on the Net and
have not been able to locate anything to help.

thanks much

take care

upgrading to leopard: office not working

Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:33 AM PDT

 

Michael,

I did a clean install of Office 2004 (then updated it 11.3.5 -thru- 11.3.8)
and it's working perfectly. I'd suggest that that's your "nuclear" option if
all else fails.

Office 2008 extension

Posted: 30 Oct 2007 06:01 AM PDT

And to further add to John¹s comments, the extension never mattered to any
office program on the Mac or PC. The extension is ONLY a means for the
operating system to associate a file with a program. ANY Office program (I
don¹t know about 2008) could open any file it knew how to process buy using
the application¹s File-Open menu command. The extension did not matter at
all. You could name an Excel file with a .ppt (or .doc or .xyz) extension,
and as long as you used File-Open, it would open and be fine.

Streets and Trips 2008 with GPS

Posted: 29 Oct 2007 10:52 AM PDT

Well, I don't use Streets and Trips, but I do use a GPS receiver.

It can take up to three minutes for a GPS receiver to "acquire" enough
satellites to begin computing a position.

It depends on how long the receiver has been turned off: if it is more than
12 hours, it loses its predictive satellite map, and has to search for and
register all the satellites individually.

If the receiver has been turned off for only an hour or so, it can acquire
almost instantly if the satellites are all in the positions it expected them
to be in :-)

The acquisition period will be fastest if the receiver is stationary, with a
clear view of the sky and no car roofs or tall buildings in the way, until
it has acquired. Driving down a congested city street surrounded by tall
buildings, it may "never" acquire.

I would take your laptop and GPS receiver out to the middle of a park and
sit still there for five minutes. If it hasn't acquired by then, I suggest
it's bad, take it back to the shop and swap it out with a new receiver to
prove it.

Hope this helps

I couldnt find a specific group from that long list.

Anyway, most, but not all of the time, all I get when using the GPS
tracking feature is that it is "receiving data" but it stays stuck in that
mode with 0 sats.

This happens even when driving down major highways in large cities with the
laptop on the front seat near the window, or even when clipped to the front
window.

People tell me they can connect in seconds.

When connected to the laptop, the gps receiver glows blue, so it is getting
power.

What is the problem? How can I tell if the receiver itself is defective?
thanks
