Project 2002 Std vs Professional

Posted: 16 Jul 2004 07:32 AM PDT

Hello Brian,
The interfaces of Project Standard and Project Professional are quite the
same.
Project Professional can save its files in a SQL Server data base via
"Project server". It allows a powerfull resource management with resources
skills for example. It allows also the resources to enter their progress on
tasks via Project web Access.
Project Standard is designed as a stand alone planning software, even if it
can share resources with several plans.

Hope this helps,

Gérard Ducouret

troubleshoot -print margins do not match print view margins -HELP

I have MS Office Professional 2010. When I format a document and print (any program) the printed document is 1/4" off to the left. My printer is HP OfficeJet 7410xi. it prints from other programs just fine. today I ran the printer internal diagnostic test and there is no issue with the margins being off.  Office has always printed off to the side but I just adjusted the margins if it was an important doc. I'm just needing to do it more often so I am hopping some one has found a solution. thanks -Jan

Gruss Christian!

I think that the main problem that exists today (OOo 2.2) is that in the
task pane you can select a Page Master, but if you want to modify it you
have to access the menu "View > Master > Slide Master". Using within the
same user interface two different terms to refer to the same object is for
me what causes the confusion in most of the users.

I am not sure I understand the problem you mention. Notes master is already
in use (View > Master > Notes master) and I am not suggesting to replace
this term. The notes master defines the layout of the Notes page and I do
not think there is a consistency issue here.
If you are suggesting that the page master in the Task pane is different
from the slide master, then I am afraid I will have to ask you to elaborate
as it does not seem to be the case.

As for the handouts master, I could not find this functionality. The only
modification to the handout layout is performed manually (no master
involved) or by means of the layout tab in the task pane.

In summary my suggested RFE is to replace any occurrency of "Master Page"
with "Slide Master" and "Master Pages" with "Slide Masters".

[discuss] Einstruction/CPS 4.0 suggestion/question

Posted: 17 Apr 2007 06:49 PM PDT

 

It really depends on _how_ Einstruction works with powerpoint. Maybe
it just creates files for powerpoint to display?
If so, you are in great shape, because OO does a pretty fine job of
opening files from PowerPoint.

If it somehow hooks into PowerPoint, then probably impossible without
support from the programmers of Einstruction.

Good luck

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for the advice. Your suggestion triggered my memory of having run
across this problem once before when I purchased my first HP 4200 printer. I
changed the driver to one from a 4050 HP printer and the problem was solved.
Good start to my Sunday morning. I appreciate the quick

Thanks, it works, of course. I tested it with a .tsv export of Works
Calendar, after which I spent some time formatting, hiding columns of
unwanted data, etc. Then, after printing, I Edit>Select All>Delete 'd
and saved my work as a template.

However, from that point, the way to get the stuff in to a formatted
database is to open the .tsv or other comma-, or tab-delimited file in
Notepad, Edit>Select All, and Copy. Paste it in the first cell of the
spreadsheet. Using a File>Open will simply create a new database with
the information and it won't be formatted.

Thanks for the reply.

Next, save the document into My Documents folder by clicking File on the
menu bar then clicking Save As.

In the Save As dialog popup for Save in: My Documents should display, leave
as is. Under File name: give your file a name. Under Save as type: click
the down arrow and select .rtf (Rich Text Format), click Save.

Note: most word processors can open a document with .rtf (Rich Text Format)

Close Works Word processor.

Open your mail program, if Outlook Express, click Create Mail, attached the
above saved document to your mail and send it.

Let us know the result,

Microsoft Word - Problem printing tables, text wrapping

Microsoft Word - Problem printing tables, text wrapping


Problem printing tables, text wrapping

Posted: 10 May 2013 07:25 AM PDT

(Sorry for this convoluted explanation of the problem I'm having, but this is the clearest I could explain it! If there's a way for me to upload this document somewhere for people to review, I can do that. Thanks!)

One of my co-workers is trying to print a document she created on Word 2010. The document contains several separate tables, some of which spread across the page horizontally and others that take up part of the page vertically. There are also a couple of text boxes on the page. Here's a diagram of what the page looks like (T= Table, B=text Box, Letters in BOLD are where the problems are)

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

TTTTTTTT        BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
TTTTTTTT        BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
TTTTTTTT        BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

TTTTTTTT       TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
TTTTTTTT       TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
TTTTTTTT       TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
TTTTTTTT       TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

The text in Bold does not print. I believe what is happening is that, when I send the page to print, the text is somehow being moved about a line down within the table, hiding it from view. (If I make the fonts larger, I can see the very top of the text on the bottom of each cell, or if I make the text a superscript, it raises the fonts enough so it's visible when I print.) Please note that when I print the file to a PDF, I get the same result, so I'm fairly confident the problem is not with the printer.

I found a solution, but that caused a formatting problem. If I turn the text wrapping option to None, the text prints. The problem with this solution is that if I turn the text wrap off for the table on the far left, it will not let me place any of the tables or the text box to the right of it (it shifts them to the next page.) On the other hand, if I turn the text wrap off for the tables on the right hand side but leave text wrapping on for the table on the left, formatting is fine, and everything prints except for the text in the table on the left.

Any suggestions??? This is driving me bonkers!!

Constructing custom bullets

Posted: 09 May 2013 05:56 PM PDT

In Word 2000, one had the ability to specify the amount (in inches, etc.) of the indents, both for the bullet and for the text that followed immediately.

 

In Word 2010, there is a bullet menu on the Home tab, but the drop-down menu does not contain a means for customizing the bullet/text placement.  This capability must certainly still exist, except that I have not been clever enough to find it!

How to replace all bold phrases with the same phrase with ** before and after?

Posted: 09 May 2013 12:32 PM PDT

Hi,

I'm creating a Wikidot (wiki platform) website and when you create a new Page and paste in text it loses all Bold and Italics. You then have to go back and put ** before and after every part of the text that had been Bold.

I want to use Replace in Word prior to copying and pasting to find the bold phrases and then replace them with the same phrase, but with the ** before and ** after the phrase, rather than manually do it.

Title title title

becomes

**Title title title**


Does anyone know how this could be done?

Why text boundaries changed in 2013

Posted: 09 May 2013 10:02 AM PDT

Hiya Fellas,

I've a question to do about the new Word version.

Why, when I work with a 97-2003 .doc document of Word, It shows it normally, like the next picture.


But... When I want to work with a 2007-2013 .docx document, appears this:



It doesn't happened with the older versions, just with this 2013. You could try, and tell me if I'm lying.

If wanna activate these text boundaries, must go to File > Options > Advanced > Show Document Content > check "Show text boundaries".

Try pressing "enter" in the document, and you will see the same like in the above image.

Can you tell me what is wrong here?

Thank you.

MS WORD Print Layout - How to change appearance of background screen either side of the white page of text in WORD 2003 & WORD 2013

Posted: 08 May 2013 04:01 AM PDT

I have two computers, one is PC bought 2003, WinXP WORD 2003, other is Laptop 2013, Win8, WORD 2013.

 

My Question is :-

 

When using WORD I prefer using the View Print Layout/Reading Layout which shows my work against a screen background, how can I change the appearance of the background colour?

 

On my PC (WORD2003) some ~ 8 years ago I managed somehow but now can't remember how ? to change it to grey and would like to now change the colour again and would also like to change the Laptop (WORD2013) in a similar way so both computers have the same appearance.

 

I have seen many help items for changing the page colour, but this is not what I am asking - it is the appearance of the screen background colour outside the actual Word document which I would like to modify.

 

The Laptop Word document currently appears as a white page surrounded by white background and is like working in a snow drift and not very easy on the eyes.

 

A step by step technical know how of how to adjust the Word 2003/2013 set up would be much appreciated.

 

My first question ever online ends: thankyou anyone who can help with this !
