Hi,

you can defenitly make your bootloader load both OSes (lilo/grub). If you
don't want to change your bootsector, do the following with lilo:
1. Make lilo write the boot sector in a file
boot=/home/username/bootsec.lin
2. start MS
3. copy bootsec.lin to c: (on a fat parition, you can do this from Linux,
using NTFS->copy the bootsec.lin to a floppy and use MS)
4. edit boot.ini:
add->c:\bootsec.lin="LILO" to the bottom line
5. done. When you boot the next time, your ntloader will give you the option
to start lilo. To get rid of the changes, just delete the last line you
added in boot.ini on your MS system.

Help Closing Ports (Debian Woody)

Who cares? You scanned from localhost, so you won't learn anything

Don't worry about such things. If there were a security flaw in a
default server, a debian correction would fix it at once, and so would
you, automatically, with your nightly updates.
 

This is only going to be open on localhost, where you do need it, and
even if it were open to the world, so what? Nobody has your root
password, so they can't use it, and if they did have, they could get in
via ssh instead (hic: if root login not disabled).
 

This doesn't route. And of course will be protected by tcp_wrappers,
where presumably you have lited what you want to be able to access it.
 

Auth? What? Oh, identd! You need that. Otherwise people out there can't
check that you are who you say you are. Well - you could disable it and
then you act like a ms-win box, and whowould want to do that!
 

You definitely don't want this anywhere on your system!
 

This should be closed to all but local hosts. See your printer setup.
 

These are probably local halves of some connection - but take a look at
what they are. Anyway, you can't tell anything by looking from
localhost.
 

Fine. Ditto, I presume.

Document and Issues management 2002

Posted: 16 Jul 2004 09:46 AM PDT

This is a feature of using Project Server and Microsoft SharePoint --
packaged as one environment called Microsoft Enterprise Project
Management. I happen to think this way of handling project documents
and issues is quite good...powerful because of its simplicity and
enabling project teams to move beyond what I have called "silo project
management with paper and email".

A large amount of material about this product available on Microsoft's
web site. You use Microsoft Project Professional to connect the tool you
are familiar with to this "enterprise" environment.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

The Enterprise Global is a feature of Microsoft Project Server 2002 and
2003. The Enterprise Global is the "library" of your organization's
enterprise custom objects, such as custom Fields, Views, Tables, Filters,
Groups, Calendars, and the like. The Enterprise Global is also used to set
your organization's default currency for tracking project costs.

Each time a user logs into Microsoft Project Server through Microsoft
Project Professional, the system loads the user's personal Global.mpt file
and the Enterprise Global file, and then merges the two files into a single
Global file in the background. This gives the user access to his/her own
personal objects found in the Global.mpt and the organization's custom
enterprise objects found in the Enterprise Global file. When there is a
conflict between personal objects and enterprise objects that have the same
name, the enterprise objects always "win" and replace the local objects.

To access the Enterprise Global, complete the following steps:

1. Launch Microsoft Project Professional and log into Project Server with
administrator permissions
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Global
3. To customize enterprise fields and outline codes, click Tools -
Customize - Enterprise Fields
4. To customize the default currency, click Tools - Options - View and set
the Symbol value

Hope this helps.

Non critical resource is holding up my progress

Posted: 15 Jul 2004 04:51 PM PDT

Amplifying a little on Jack's comment, generally speaking you should break
the tasks down to a level of granularity the reflects a 1 resource to 1 task
correspondence, "resource" here meaning what I think of as a package of
skills. That could be a single individual or it could be a team of
individuals but in any case the skills must work together in a cohesive
unit. If it is a team, they are working together and really can't work
separately because to do so would break up the skill package. If different
skills are required to design the page graphics versus program it, they
really are two different tasks.

> I seek to record an open presentation Impress office with the format 

It doesn't seem you can do this from a 'save as' within Impress. The
only file formats you can save as are ones that will save it as
another presentation type (eg, powerpoint).

One possible solution would be to craft your presentation in such a
way that all entries appear in the 'outline' tab. This is basically a
text outline of what is in each of the slides. From that view you can
'select all' then copy and paste into a writer document for further
editing.

Can't Print to PDF in Office for Mac 2004 in Leopard

Posted: 16 Nov 2007 11:32 AM PST

When we print to PDF, the application simply hands the file off to the Apple
OS X printing mechanism: it is not involved from the moment you click
"Print".

So the problem belongs somewhere in your computer's printing subsystem.
Usually, it's the printer driver.

In one of the Microsoft applications, go to the File menu and choose
"Print"... In the top of the dialog box that appears will be the name of
the printer. Take careful note of it.

Now do this again in an application that works. Compare the names
character-for-character. That's usually where the problem lies.

Hope this helps

number of pages initially wrong on first page when "different first page" selected

Posted: 15 May 2013 03:09 PM PDT

Hello,

I am seeing a problem with the "number of pages" field in the footer on the first page of a Word document when I have selected "different first page".  If I make an update to the first page of the document, or even double-click on the footer, then the number of pages field is corrected.  If I then save and close the document after the number of pages field is correct and re-open.  It displays incorrectly.

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Create blank new DOCX.
2.  Insert a page break (so now there are two pages in the document).
3.  double-click the footer on the first page and select the "different first page" checkbox on the "header and footer tools" ribbon.
4.  Add "Page X of Y" to the footer on the first page using the "Page Number" button on the "header and footer tools" ribbon.
5.  Add "Page X of Y" to the footer on the second page using the "Page Number" button on the "header and footer tools" ribbon.
At this point the first page says "Page 1 of 2" and the second page says "Page 2 of 2".  This is what you would expect.
6.  Save and close the document.
7.  Re-open the document.
At this point the first page says "Page 1 of 1" and the second page says "Page 2 of 2".  The first page is wrong.
8.  Double click the footer to enter footer mode. (I could also update all fields or several other things)
At this point the first page says "Page 1 of 2" and the second page says "Page 2 of 2".  Now it looks right.

I understand that this is a screen display problem, and it will print correctly if I wanted to print it.  I need it to display correctly when a user first opens the document.  I don't want to add a VBA macro to tell it to update fields after opening.

Thanks,

Jake

I'm hesitant to implement the below fix as I'm not sure if it can be reversed easily should it causes me more grief; such as, not allowing me to open any of my editors future book formatted docs. This has never happened before with Word 2010 on any past documents with this editor. I've Windows XP. We both use Word 2010. Any advice? I need this resolved.

 

HERE'S WHAT I FOUND IN THE TUTORIALS: (the piece I'm hestitant to try)

 

ERROR: Word cannot start the converter mswrd632

 

I plugged the above error message into your website and found the below. I'm hesitant to do it for fear I can't open my editors docs. Worse yet, that I can't easily put the deletes path back.

 

Look at the "Known Issues" section of this Microsoft article.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973904

<excerpt>
Let me fix it myself To unregister the mswrd632 converter yourself, edit the registry as follows:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Text Converters\Import\MSWord6.wpc

3. On the Edit menu, click Delete.

4. Click Yes.

5. Exit Registry Editor.

This change will effectively unregister the converter and disable it for third-party applications and for Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office will use its own text converters to open these kinds of files.

Table styles in embedded documents

Posted: 15 May 2013 07:20 AM PDT

I am storing an embedded document that contains a table with an applied table style.  When the embedded document opens, the table style is not applied unless its name equals its ID--i.e., it has no spaces.  (A quick look inside a docx reveals that style IDs are the style names with all spaces removed.)  Styles whose name contains no spaces are applied; styles whose name contains spaces are not.  Why?

Windows 7 Printing Problem

Posted: 13 May 2013 06:23 AM PDT

I have Windows 7 with Microsoft Word 2010 starter, it all works fine on the screen, but will not convey 'shapes' to my HP deskjet 1280.  Prints ordinary  type all day long, and will print photos, but will not print 'shapes' (e.g. squares, circles etc in Word) which I use for diagrams.

Posted: 15 May 2013 05:50 AM PDT

Whenever I open a document in Word 2010 it opens showing the changes, deletions and insertions. I don't want it to do that! How can I set a "default" to open "normally"? Plus if I upload the file to a distant user it opens there with the changes etc showing! Infuriating! I know I can change the View on screen using the Track Options/Show Markup etc but it always opens with the changes showing! Grrrr!

Drag and Drop to Merge Documents

Posted: 14 May 2013 01:09 PM PDT

I was informed of a neat tool today for Word 2010.  Where you can Drag and Drop document s from Windows Explorer into a Word Doc to merge them together.  My problem is that it only brings in the first page.  i.e.

 

Doc1 = 12 pages

Doc2 = 4 pages

Doc3 = 2 pages

 

 

final merged doc..... 3 pages

 

Is there a step or flag or setting that I am missing to make this work correctly?

Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 14 May 2013 12:51 PM PDT

In all of the Office 2013 applications, when I print a document, the correct printer (Epson 2200) is identified, and several printing options are available (all on the page that appears after I first choose to Print).  There is no option there to allow a "Print Preview"; however there is a button to open the printer's "Properties".  Under Properties, I do have the option of a Print Preview, and I have always had that option chosen.  When I choose to print, however, it prints immediately without a Preview.  In all the non-Office programs I use I automatically get a preview, and having that ability in Office is important to me.  I have not determined the driver in use, but my guess is that it's one provided by Windows 7 (32 bit).  Three questions: 1 - is that likely the problem,  2 - if so, can I use the appropriate Epson driver, and 3 - if I can use the Epson driver, how do I make the necessary changes?  Under the required Office Topic below, I selected Word, but the question applies to all of the Office suite of programs.

I will appreciate any help.

Reference number and cross reference for equation numbers tp match the thesis format of our university

Posted: 14 May 2013 10:18 AM PDT

I am trying to create auto-count equation numbers for my long thesis. The format being used for the equations in our university is "(chapter-number)". And then you will cross-reference as : Equation 3-20

     F = m.a     (‎3-20)

So I have been forced to use "(" as the label and ")" as the caption text. But when I cross refernce I have these options (with the outcome of each option):

Entire caption              -> (3-20)       //has unwanted paranthesis
Only label and number -> (3-20        //unwanted opening parenthesis
Only caption text          -> )            //only the closing parethesis appears
Page number (unrelated)
Above/Below (unrelated)

If we had a "Only number" option my problem could be solved.  Now, How should I create the auto-number and how should I do the cross reference.

P.S: I don't have this problem with Figures, Tables, etc since the figure is references as "Figure 3-1: description" and cross referenced as "Figure 3-1", so I can easily use the "Only label and number" option. In the case of equations those parenthesis are bothering.

Word 2013: "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel"

Posted: 14 May 2013 06:03 AM PDT

Recently upgraded from Office 2010 to 2013.  All of a sudden (3 days ago) I started getting an error that reads "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Excel"

 

I have an excel spreadsheet that contains inventory information and I use Word to access that spreadsheet to print price tages.  Have never had an issue until now.

 

Process is to open the Word document which then gets the source data from Excel.  Word is open and Excel is closed.  Worked fine and until 3 days ago worked fine in 2013.

 

Now I get the error unless I open Excel first - just the app, not the source file.  When Excel is open all works fine.

 

Anyone else having an issue?

 

Also having a "just started" issue in Quickbooks Pro 2013 accessing an Excel 2013 file.  Works fine with Excel 2010 but won't work with 2013.

Microsoft Word - How do I have downloaded documents always open in word 2013 in the "enable editing" mode?

How do I have downloaded documents always open in word 2013 in the "enable editing" mode?

Posted: 14 May 2013 09:14 AM PDT

When I download a document from an email, it always opens in the "protected view" mode. If there are text boxes, pictures or graphics in the documents, they are not the way they really appear in the document. I have to change to the "enable editing" mode to see the true document. It would be very  helpful if I could just eliminate the protected mode step and go right to the enable editing mode as most of the documents I open are attached to emails.

Nearest Preceding Sequence Number and List of Figures

Posted: 14 May 2013 08:44 AM PDT

I'm trying to make a set of Figures where a set of related figures are named with a alphabetic second character.

 

For example I have normal figures 1, 2, and 3 but figure 4 is divided into 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d.

 

I used the \c switch to maintain the figure number the same for 4b, 4c, and 4d as illustrated in this article:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-word/how-to-use-caption-to-label-table-1a-1b-then-table/79d7624f-8390-4c60-ade0-650674425eb5

 

However, I now have the problem that none of these figures show up in my "List of Figures" (TOC field code: {TOC \h \z \c "Figure"})

 

Is there any way to force these figures to also show up in my list of Figures?

location of customized templates

How to use checkboxes in Word Revisited. The original discussion is broken

Posted: 13 May 2013 12:50 PM PDT

Greg Maxey replied the following in my original question:

 

Word 2010 has a checkbox content control. They are inserted using the Developer tab>Controls group.

 

Unfortunately I've been trying for a week to reply, but when I click on either of the reply links, the response box is greyed out and the little circle (that replaced the old hourglass) just keeps spinning forever.  I've let it go for 24 hours, but it never goes away and un-greys the reply box, so I've started a new discussion of the question.  Please forgive me for the duplication, but I don't know what else to do.

 

My reply to Greg would be that I don't have a Developer tab in Word, and haven't been able to find any information about how to get one.  The help in MS word is anything but helpful; none of my numerous attempts to search help yealded anything remotely similar to a Developer tab.

 

I only hope that if I have to respond to any replies to this post, that I'll be able to.  I've never before encountered this kind of reply problem.

 

If I'm doing something wrong, please, someone, tell me what it is so that I can correct it.

Word 2010 stopped recognizing licensed copy of Mathtype

Posted: 12 May 2013 08:54 PM PDT

Yesterday I was able to use all the features of my licensed copy of Mathtype 6.8 in Word 2010. Today word informs me that features are disabled because the 30 day trial period is over. Mathtype still works fine in Wordperfect, so it is not a problem with Mathtype. Also, I did try to reregister Mathtype and got a message that it was already registered. So something apparently changed in Word overnight. Was a new update installed that interferes with Mathtype?

How do I access my Word 9 documents in Word 2013?

Posted: 12 May 2013 11:39 AM PDT

On my Word 2013 I click Open/Computer/My Documents. I see dozens of folders and then about 100 WPS (Works) files. But when I click My Documents from the icon on my desktop, I see all of the above plus the dozens of Microsoft Word 9 files. Why can't I access these old Word files via the Open/Computer/My Documents route? Why do I have to use the roundabout route? Is there a way I could shuffle the Word 9 files into the Documents Library/My Documents window so that I could access these files in one step?

 

I just got my new computer and the Outlook and Word 2013 programs. I'm finally getting used to these but need a little help till I get organized. 

Creating Forms in Word 2003 format with Word 2010 software

Posted: 10 May 2013 04:03 PM PDT

I work in a agency that contains about 12,000 potential Word users (not everyone uses Word, but a huge percentage of us do, and everyone has Word on their PC).  We have a web-based forms server that maintains several thousand MS Word fillable-forms, all in Word 2003 format.  By fillable-form, I mean a Word form that has fill-in blanks for text boxes and check-boxes, etc, that can locked, and electronically populated by the users.  At my agency, we presently have a mixture of Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 software, and are slowly migrating all users to Word 2010 software, but this will probably be several months into the future before completion of that migration.  We are still running Windows XP at my agency (thus we have no Word 2013 in use within my Agency yet).  Here is my question:

HOW CAN SOMEONE USE WORD 2010 SOFTWARE, TO EASILY CREATE FORMS IN THE WORD 2003 FORMAT, THAT CAN BE OPENED WITH WORD 2003 SOFTWARE, WITHOUT ANY ERRORS ON THE WORD 2003 FORMS?


I have tried using Word 2010's "retro form tools" to build Word 2010 forms, and I have had very little success in building a fillable-form that can be opened in Word 2003 software, using Word 2010.  For me, it is way easier to just use Word 2003 to create a Word 2003 formatted form (especially since several Word 2003 books, and training resources,  show how to do this, in detail).  The problem that I see is that with my agency, it might not a good idea to upgrade all users to Word 2010, and keep all the forms on the forms server in the 2003 format, because the staff that create/update the forms might have a hard time with the editing of those forms using Word 2010 software.  Since Microsoft's web site says that they will not support Word 2003 after April of 2014, I am hesitant to recommend that my agency just continue to use Word 2003 software to create forms into years 2015, 2016, etc, since I think that Word 2003 will start having problems after the Microsoft support ends after April 2014.  The books that I have looked at spend a few pages showing how to make Word 2010 formatted forms, with Word 2010 software.  I have seen no documentation anywhere (in books or on the internet) that shows an in depth instruction on how to use Word 2010 software to create forms that can be opened with Word 2003 software (I suspect that outside of my agency, that is not an in-demand subject).  I have had several people ask me how to make 2003 formatted forms, using 2010 Word software, and my answer has been "get a copy of Word 2003, and use that if you want to make Word 2003 formatted forms".  I am wondering if Word 2010 has some bugs in it, that do not let it make Word 2003 formatted forms, that actually work properly in Word 2003 (at least that is what I am assuming so far in my research on this subject - or I suppose I don't know how to use Word for this - probably more possible that I don't know how to do it, than Microsoft having bugs).  Since my agency has a group (enterprise) license for Microsoft Office, this is not a problem if users have a mixture of Word 2003/2007/2010 software.  I don't think that converting all the forms on the forms server to 2010 format is possible, due to lack of staff to program this conversion, as well as the fact that we have a mixture of Word 2003/2007/2010 software in use, and the migration to Word 2003 to 2010 has been slow.  By the way, I mostly support Microsoft Word, Excel and Access (these three are my areas of expertise), as well as support of other various software/hardware, so I don't really have time to spend a great deal of time, personally researching/studying Word 2010 form creation - to make Word 2003 forms (thus my standard answer "use Word 2003 to create forms in the Word 2003 format").   Also, the forms server in my Agency also has lots of Adobe PDF forms, but I don't know Adobe Acrobat Pro, and I doubt if converting all the Word forms to PDF's is a solution that would be workable (or chosen) for my agency.

MS Word 2010 / Navigation Pane / Can I set it to always appear in one document, but not other documents that I open?

I only use it in one particular document, and don't want to view it in others, so I end up toggling it on and off a lot.

Three weird things happen at the same time:

1. scroller does not work.

2. in the command bar on top of the commands numbers and letters appear blocking the commands.

3 After closing the computer (not shutting down), I don't get the normal screen when opening the computer again and I am guided to restart the computer.

 

Has anybody a solution for this weird behavior of my computer.

Printing Problem w/Word and other issues!

Posted: 08 May 2013 04:23 PM PDT

I suddenly started having a problem printing any Word documents in the font Calibri. I'm running Windows 7 64x and Word/Office 2007. Now it refuses to print e-mails and/or web-pages and PDF files! Every other computer in the house can print just fine, I am the only one with problems. I can print from word in any font other than Calibri and I can print from Notepad. Help!
