Hei,
 

sorry, but i always thought that such a choice is big non-sense.

That is, offering an interface choice like MSO-like or OOo-Classic and
other configurations sure makes quite a bit of sense. But asking the
user if he's a power user, noob or avarage or whatever doesn't. Offering
functionality-wise scaled UI setups is a good thing though.

More particularly, such an option would have the benefit of enabling not
only scaled configurations, but specialized setups for certain tasks or
branches.

Andr=E9.

Multiple Font Issues

Posted: 16 Nov 2007 08:59 AM PST

Reinstalling Office is almost never the answer....

I'd post on an Apple group to see what the equivalent of trashing all
font caches is now--e.g., this page makes it clear safe boot in Leopard
behaves differently, but there should be a substitute:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392

Uh, here's a Terminal based suggestion:

Try at your own risk.

Microsoft Word - color in track changes

Microsoft Word - color in track changes


color in track changes

Posted: 09 May 2013 01:06 PM PDT

I am making edits using 2013 Word in a document created in Word 2010 with several authors and editors.
In TrackChanges, I cannot display my edits in color without "show full markup", which brings up all the previous authors' edits. In "simple markup" my edits show only black. I have tried changing all the colors in the "advanced options" box, which is maddeningly hidden. 
I suspect this is a glitch between old and new Word users. 
I was reduced to highlighting my changes.

"in line with text" picture, fails in word 2010

Posted: 09 May 2013 11:07 AM PDT

I am using Word 2010. I have copied a picture from another document and pasted it in the one I am working on (or I have tried inserting a png, or a jpg in my current document). I can only see the bottom of the picture. The rest of it seems to be slipped up under the text above it. I have added a bottom shadow to the object, and now that's all I can see, but at least I know where the object is now.

If I click on the picture, I can see the outline of the object, again, behind the text above where I have pasted/inserted the picture. When I click on the picture, I see round handles in the corners and a square handle in the middle of each side.

When I check the Picture > Format > Position, nothing is highlighted. I click on "in line with text" and the dialog closes, but the method doesn't seem to do anything.

When I check the Picture > Format > Wrap Text box, it is already set to "in line with text". If I change it to anything else, the image appears. But I would prefer to use the "in line" setting.

When the picture is selected, the options for bring forward and send backward are gray.

How do I get my picture to use the "in line with text" setting?

Tabbing changes when restarting numbered list

Posted: 09 May 2013 04:52 AM PDT

I have set-up a style with a numbered list.
The default tab sizes are way too big for what I need, so I changed them.
Now if I restart the numbering for a new list, it messes up the tabbing, but only for the restarted number, all the subsequent numbers remain the same. If I click the style again to apply the correct formatting it switches the number back to the next number from the previous sequence. The issue is on the line wrap is tabbed more than on other entries. It took ages to get all the tabs and indents to do what I want, very frustrating but doable, until this little quirk!

My style has:
Paragraph: Left 0.5cm Hanging 0.75 cm
Tabs 1.25cm

Looking in the style description there is also:
Left aligned at 0.5 cm
Indent at 1.5 cm
It looks like these are the issue, but I can't see where I can edit these additional values for left align and indent?
I think changing the indent from 1.5 to 1.25 would solve the problem, but where is that value hiding?

Word 2007 - macro to insert an image and specify its size, position and text wrapping

Posted: 08 May 2013 10:09 PM PDT

Hi there,

I've been looking for a way to create a macro that allows the user the following:

- open the "Insert Picture" browser to let them select an image
- insert the image with the following attributes:
    - Text wrapping: in front of text
    - Picture size: width = 21.1cm, height = 8.5cm, Lock Aspect ratio = false
    - Position: Horizontal = Absolute Position 0 cm to the right of Page, Vertical = Absolute Position 6.5 cm below Page
  
I have a feeling that it shouldn't be too difficult but my Visual Basic knowledge doesn't go far beyond the macro recorder which doesn't allow me to record any of the steps/settings above.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Dennis

I CAN COPY PART OF A LIST OF NAMES FROM WORD TO WORD TABLE BUT ANOTHER PART WILL ONLY COPY PART OF THE NAME

Posted: 08 May 2013 03:00 PM PDT

merge multiple documents into one master document

Posted: 08 May 2013 02:31 PM PDT

I'm having trouble finding info about this; everything I've seen is either three years old and doesn't pertain to Word 2007 or says it can't be done. 

I want to know if it's possible to have a document (Letter A) that, when I merge it with a list of names, also pulls text from another document (Letter B). The problem is that I want to be able to edit Letter B and have Letter A just magically know I edited B without having to open Letter A and update the field. 

Here's a simplified example (my final document will include more inserted files but if I can figure out one, I know I can get the rest to work):

I have 30 different letters that I merge with an Excel file and send to clients. They're all signed by the same person. That person quits and I have to update every letter (Letter A) with the new person's name. Is it possible to use InsertText or something similar to insert Letter B (which would contain the signature)? And if I edit Letter B in the future, will Letter A know it?

Thanks,

Why is the spacing before a paragraph on a new page affected by the spacing after the last paragraph on the previous page?

Posted: 08 May 2013 09:51 AM PDT

Why is the spacing before a paragraph on a new page affected  by the spacing after the last paragraph on the previous page?

I have my style "Heading1" set to have a page break before it, and I also have it set to have 78pt spacing before it. When I alter the style of the last paragraph on the previous page, e.g. from "Text" (set to have 12pt spacing after paragraph) to Table (set to have 0pt spacing after paragraph) the spacing before the Heading1 paragraph changes! Has anyone noticed this? Can I stop it happening?

Bookmarking within a document - Creating an active Table of Contents

Posted: 06 May 2013 01:52 AM PDT

I am almost finished with building my book for Amazon Kindle. An active Table of Contents is required to be able to link directly to the beginning of a chapter. I have Word Starter 2010, which does not have the TOC feature. In the "Building Your Book for Kindle" guidelines, it mentions that manual bookmarking would have to be done for people using Macs. I'm thinking that maybe that's what I'll have to do since I have no TOC feature in Word Starter, unless there is a way to hyperlink within the document. How do I create an active TOC in Word Starter 2010? I'm using a Windows 7- 64 bit laptop computer. 

 

Thank you in advance,

what happens to picture type when I copy it to clipboard

Hello,
I use word 2007, I have read that when you can't insert a picture into word 2007 because of unsupported file type, you can copy the picture and paste it in word. Is that right? and if it is right, what happens? is the picture file type converted to some type supported in word 2007?

Add Hyperlink to Text in a column

Posted: 07 May 2013 10:34 AM PDT

I have 72 page document with multiple columns.
One of the columns is a six digit number that I need to make a hyperlink, but I need the text to remain the same.

I tried to make a find and replace in the style of hyperlink using the following syntax
Find: <03[0-9]{4}>
Options Use Wildcard

Replace With https://www.someurl.com/sessNum=^&

The replace turns the colum into the full URL.
I am guessing I need to do a macro or something so the visible text doesn't change and it only adds a hyperlink to the word.

What is the best way to go about doing this?

Borders in cells (again)

Posted: 06 May 2013 10:44 PM PDT

I know that borders in cells is a major bone of contention, but hopefully someone will have a solve for this. 

I am trying to create a postcard.  I am using the paper "1/4 letter", landscape, so my four postcards are 5.5" wide by 4.25 tall.  I used the Labels function to create the 2x2 table.  Now, I want borders on all four postcards.  Not terribly wide ones, but decorative.  But no matter what I select, the bottom row of cells is bumped to the next page.  

I know this has something to do with margins, but I can't figure out if it's PAGE margins or CELL margins.  Or maybe cell spacing?  Or it just can't be done?  

Any help appreciated.

Office 97 to Office 2000 upgrade but keep Access 97, if so how?

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 01:57 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Yes, you can install Office 2000 and you can use a custom install
to remove all of Office 97 except Access97 if you choose not to
upgrade Access as well. You may want to start with the tools
and information in the Office 2000 Resource Kit for more information
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2000

Note that Office 97 uses a different installer/setup program than
Office 2000 and you may run into issues where the installer runs
a lot to 'switch' from Office 97 to Office 2000 being the 'current'
version that is used by the operating system.

Office 2003 sp1 network install

Posted: 03 Aug 2004 05:24 PM PDT

So, I can not use GP to push out a client install, but must use SMS or some
other additional program to update my clients.
This is really disappointing.

If I had realized this I would have went with an administrative install
instead of the recommended compressed cd image network installation point.

Is there a way to get a compressed cd image of the full Office 2003
professional w/ sp1 so that I could replace my current installation point
and do an uninstall and reinstall via GP?

The origonal software, ie the software you used prior to 2003 is part of yr
licence and as such you have to keep it.
It is not neccessary to install the old software prior to upgrading, as
during the install of yr upgrade 2003 you will get the msg 'cannot find
qualifying product' at this time you insert old cd, and point the 2003

FTP question

Don't know WS_FTP, presuming you are looking for a GUI ftp
client, AFAIR the native KDE file manager (Konqueror) supports
ftp among a bunch of other protocols directly, try putting
"ftp://ftpserver.tld" in the location bar, save some bookmarks if
it works for you.

Good luck

Thanks Davide.

Please ignore my post. Dataflame support has now told me their system
stops remote access, this contradicts what they earlier told me which was
remote access was ok.

Thanks,

Hi Jean-David!
 

Yep.
[..]

Random guess, as the OP missed to give us info about the distro
he's running, he's needs the compat-libstdc++-? package for Red
Hat 7.3 backwards compatibility to get things working, perhaps
one or another symlink and running 'ldconfig'.

From my box:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31 May 14 21:54 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

There are a few more of them:

compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128
compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128
compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.6

Maybe you can find a *fam file in the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory.
Add (or change) the option

service fam

disable = yes
}

and restart the xinetd program.

Finding a modem with COM/IRQ jumpers

Posted: 12 Jul 2004 10:10 AM PDT

Great stuff, everyone. Thank you!

I am glad to hear about the USR modem, which I may try, and the
external serial modem option. I am especially glad to get the advice
on building my own driver, which I have wanted to try for a while,
now. One of the cooler things I have always admired about the Linux
community is their willingness to write software to fit their
situation. I can't imagine needing to do the same on a Winbox!

I appreciate your help, folks.

I am log on as root when insmod:

<rootttyp1[iL_hybrid]# insmod -f il.o>

I'm also running the files off a USB key.
It's the following lines I don't understand:

<il.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.>
