Cannot Update Office 2004-- help?

Posted: 22 Nov 2007 12:06 AM PST

Hi Little Creature and Diane,

Thanks for your ideas. A few responses:
1) I don't even know what Test Drive is, so I wasn't using that... 2)
I have been repairing disk permissions before and after each attempted
install, with no results... 3) Now there seems to be a bigger problem,
because I tried to install the Mac OSX update (from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10)
but cannot even update that-- it runs and then just says "update
failed."

So I don't know what the problem is. Any more ideas?
Thanks so much,
Samantha

Yeah: I think it's a self-expanding .CAB.

Stuffit should be able to get it open.

And no, nobody can "legally" email anyone those fonts. Otherwise I would
have :-)

Where can I download an open-document format add-in for Office 2004for Mac?

Posted: 19 Nov 2007 10:40 AM PST

Hi Michel:

I Think he was.

There's an ODF converter for PC Word, but not Mac Word (not yet).

The Microsoft format is known as OOXML.

There is a lot of "political" and "religious" argument about the two
formats.

The bottom line is that ODF is not powerful enough to describe Microsoft
Office files. You "can" down-grade a Microsoft document to ODF, but when
you do, you will strip out various components of the content.

Cheers

For anybody tuning into this thread late: MY font-color button problems were
solved by trashing the font cache. Up 'til then, Entourage crashed each
time I used that button. And as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I have
used no haxies at all with Leopard. I also did an erase-and-clean-install
installation of Leopard. Somehow, along the way, the font cache became
corrupted and nothing short of trashing it had worked.

The only fonts I added since installing Leopard were for Intuit's TurboTax
application but I vaguely recall that I already was having font-color-button
problems in Entourage earlier.

Incidentally, I had no problems with Word, Excel or other applications'
font-color selections.

Word 2010 Web Layout View zoom display issue

Posted: 21 May 2013 03:13 AM PDT

I have a bit of a display issue in Word 2010 in a few specific documents (not all). I have tried copying the file to a new blank doc, no help.

I am assuming there is a setting specific to this document. Page size, margins, orientation are all the same.


In this example document below I have screen captures where you can see that the horizontal ruler is showing only 3" at 90% zoom, with a blank unused area to the right (this is my issue). Part of a picture is displaying outside of the "page" area.

How do I get Word 2013 to recognize Normal.dotm in Dropbox?

i am trying to use the Combine Documents feature in Word 2007 but without success.

Posted: 18 May 2013 08:05 PM PDT

the "original document" is:

 

wan too tree

 

there are 3 misspellings. The author of the document sends it to three reviewers. Reviewer1 observes only one of the errors and writes:

 

one too tree

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc1". Reviewer2 also receives the original document, see only one error and writes:

 

wan two tree

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc2". Reviewer3 also receives the original document, see only one error and writes:

 

wan too three

 

and sends it to the author, titled "doc3".

 

The author receives all three revisions. She opens the Combine Documents dialog box, enters "original document"  in the left box and "doc1" in the right box, clicks OK and what she sees is:

 

one too three

 

and saves this file as "doc1". So far, so good. Now the author enters "doc1" in the left box of the dialog box, and "doc2" in the right box, and what she sees is:

 

wan one two tree

 

In others words, the deleted "wan" has REAPPEARED!! The author saves the file as "doc2".  She enters this file in the left box and "doc3" in the right box of the dialog box, clicks OK and what she sees is:

 

wan one too two three

 

In others words, the deleted "too" has REAPPEARED!!

 

Obviously, this is not what we want to see. As an additional comment, when working in Word 2003 with its different boxes, etc., the above problems did not appear.

 

I hope you can help

Word 2013 mail merge

Posted: 16 May 2013 08:15 AM PDT

This is the first time I've done a mail merge with the new version. Figured everything out except for one thing, and I can't find anything about it anywhere.

My problem is this: In previous versions, I had the ability to add-in text for every label in the merge, within the address block. For example, everyone I send to is in Ohio, so instead of having a separate column in my Excel sheet with just a bunch of OH's in it, I would add "OH" in between the <<city>> and <<zip>> parts of the address block. I can't seem to be able to do that anymore.

Am I missing something??

Thanks in advance!

Steve,
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "nominal value" but let me expand
a bit on what Jack said. Lets say a task started in June 2004 and is
scheduled to complete in Aug 2004. Even though the task is shown as 100%
complete in July Actual Work values will show in the Resource Usage view
through the task end in August. An important step was missed. Since the
task in fact completed early, an Actual Finish date representing the
date the task finished needs to be entered by the user. Project has no
way of knowing when the task finished unless you tell it.

Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Microsoft Word - Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Make columns in same table independent of each other.

Posted: 20 May 2013 05:09 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

I am making my job card on word and I need to have two columns in the same table. I know how to make the table and the columns, the problem I have is that I need to have the first column on the left to have 3 rows and the second column on the right to have 5. Both columns should neatly fit into the same table so obviously the left hand column's 3 rows will be wider than the 5 rows in the right hand column. 

The problem I have is that word doesn't allow me to split the second column into 5 rows because it limits me to the three rows in the left hand column because word wants to align the rows. Is there a way to make the two neighboring column independent of each other so that I can split the left hand column into 3 equal width rows and the right hand column into 5 equal width rows?

I need it to look like this.

Linking to previous in a document which has continuous section breaks

Posted: 20 May 2013 04:18 AM PDT

I have a document with numerous section breaks, some start on the next page, but many are continuous section breaks.  I need to change the footer for the entire document, but when the documented was created initially the 'Link to previous' wasn't selected.  I don't want to have to go through each section and paste the new footer, so I am going through and selecting Link to Previous.  Unfortunately, where the previous section is a continuous section break, it is not linking back to the previous footer..... it asks if I want to delete existing footer and link to previous and I click 'Yes', but it instead puts in a very ancient footer that must be in someway linked to these continuous section breaks.  Is there anyway to have all sections linking so I only need to change the footer on the first page of the document?

find and replace reacts to replaced text with changes tracked

Posted: 19 May 2013 05:50 PM PDT

I have written a macro to find and replace a number of text strings in a document. When I have change tracking ON and ask it to replace "will aim to" with "will" and then "aim to" with "will", it finds the deleted "aim to" and replaces it again. I have also tried dropping the automated replacement of "will aim to", and just doing the replcement of "aim to", but that gives me "will "(original) , then the deleted text, then the new "will", and I can't do a global replace of "will will" because the deleted text is still seen by the find processor.

Tracking the changes is important as I am an editor and have to show my client all the changes I make.

Apart from making all my changes in the document without tracking them, and then doing a document compare, is there a way to get this macro to work?

pasting several rows and keeping track changes... is it possible?

Posted: 19 May 2013 03:09 PM PDT

I have a question - pasting cells and keeping track changes... is it possible? I want to paste a large amount of text, some of which has track changes in it, from one document to another. I know how to do this when text is not in cells (i.e. just make sure track changes is off in both documents) but when the text is contained in rows it's a no-go, all the changes are accepted when I paste no matter what I do. Can someone help?

 

There are many pages of this so I don't want to do each row individually, it will take forever!

 

If you have a solution I will project love and gratitude towards you telepathically

To solve a similar problem with my Works Suite 2001 Microsoft Works version

When the popup displays to insert CD, click to display details, noticed it
is

Copied the CD "standard.sbs" file to a folder on my hard drive.

The next time I received the popup to insert CD, I clicked to display

The result is every time I now insert clipart it goes to the new location.
No more inserting CD.

Works default synchronization for my Palm

Posted: 18 Oct 2004 10:11 PM PDT

Sorry Kevin, most of your advice about Works is great, but this is like
telling someone to tear down their house and rebuild it because a picture is
hanging crooked. There's a much simpler solution...

Irishrutter, Right-click on the Hotsync icon in your taskbar. Select
"Custom..." in the menu that pops up. For each of the conduits "Works
Calendar" and "Works Address Book": click the "Change..." button, select the
"Do Nothing" radio button, and check the "Set As Default" checkbox, then
click the "OK" button.

This will stop it from syncing with Works, but it should still sync with
Palm Desktop.

WORDS2007 needs set up again after Windows update

Posted: 17 May 2013 05:08 PM PDT

Hello! Friends:

My OS is WinXP-Pro. After the recent Windows updates, whenever I invoke my WORDS2007, I encounter this message:

"Please wait while Setup prepare the necessary files"

and it takes a while for WORDS2007 to be ready.

Any advice to remove this annoyance appreciated. Thank you.

Custom Multilevel Lists (used as headings) not restarting at 1

Posted: 13 May 2013 09:47 PM PDT

I have created a custom multilevel list to use as headings: 
A Level 1; 
A.1.  Level 2 
A.1.1  Level 3 
A.1.1.1  Level 4 etc. 

except from Level 2 onwards, I ticked the box to not include the Level 1 number (in this case letter), so it is:
A Level 1; 
1.  Level 2 
1.1  Level 3 
1.1.1  Level 4 etc. 

I want the list to start again once there is a Level 1 heading. 

i.e. 
A Title  
1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

B Title 
1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

At the moment it's doing: 

A Title  
1 Sub Title 
1.1 Sub Title 
1.1.1 Sub Title

B Title 
2 Sub Title 
2.1 Sub Title
2.1.1 Sub Title

How do I get it to restart after a Level 1 entry? I have ticked the checkbox to restart after Level 1 but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

I Cannot open Word documents or start Fix it

Posted: 18 May 2013 01:41 AM PDT

Good day,
I can't open any word document, any other Office program, or open any fix it solution. I receive the following error message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150004)". "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

I have tried to scan for Malware with Avast free edition and Malwarebytes, but the scans turn out clean.

PDF files also cannot open with Adobe reader.

I have run Windows Update, but the problem still exists. If I try to Uninstall Word, to try and re-install the application, an error message tells me that a required Dll. is missing.

Please help!
Thanks 



Trouble with Open Office (.odt) documents after installing MS Office

Posted: 17 May 2013 06:21 PM PDT

Hello,

I just purchased Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium version on a trial basis. Prior to this I did not have MS Word on my computer but used Open Office to create documents.
Now when I try to open the documents previously created using Open Office (saved as .odt files), each time MS Word opens them. 

How can I open these documents in the original Open Office format? Any help would be appreciated. I do not want MS Word to open all of my documents. Do I have to remove this Microsoft Office program from my computer? Is there a simpler method? When I open documents, I do not get an option to choose which format I want to open a document in.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

Undoing "update links on save" for hyperlinks

Posted: 17 May 2013 05:02 PM PDT

I have Word documents with a large number of relative hyperlinks. After installing the latest version of Office I found that the relative links had been converted to absolute links--I now know that this can be prevented by unchecking the "update links on save" box in "Word Options".

 

I would like to know how to easily revert the updated hyperlinks back to relative hyperlinks--I know how to do this manually for each individual link but wonder if there is an option to change all the links back to relative hyperlinks?

 

Thanks, Hitesh Patel

To make the Home Screen stay in Microsoft Word 2013

Posted: 17 May 2013 01:25 PM PDT

Lately I noticed when I open Word only the menu bar is visible when I click the Home button the Home screen appears and then when I start typing the Home Screen vanishes. Please let me know how I can make the Home screen to stay always when I am working on a document.    

Word's ellipses (...) are too compressed

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:50 PM PDT

The default Word (2010) ellipsis looks like this: ...

Most publications have spaces between the periods, like this: . . .

I can create my own symbol easily enough, but then the ellipsis potentially breaks in its middle if it's at the end of a line (so one or two of the periods stat on the previous line). In other words, the ellipsis won't stick together, as the default symbol (...) does (and as ellipses should).

Any ideas?

can Word 2003 accept only "added" text from tracked changes?

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:25 PM PDT

I edited a number of documents with Track Changes on. I completely understand accepting all, none, or individual changes. What I want to do is accept all but only "added" text from those tracked changes. I want to leave my deletions alone and intact.  Can this be done? Anybody have a macro they would share to do this?

I cannot download documents, Office 2013, Windows 8

Posted: 16 May 2013 03:36 PM PDT

Hello,

When I try to download a Word, Excel or Powerpoint document from my Gmail, Facebook or Black Board I get an error message that says:

"We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result.
Would you like us to repair now?"

I've tried both repair options and neither has changed anything. I was able to download documents without problem until about two weeks ago. I haven't changed anything with Office; I haven't done anything with it but some projects since I've downloaded the product. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Cory

Windows 365Home Premium download has morphed out of control. HELP

Posted: 15 May 2013 09:16 PM PDT

Just downloaded Word 365 Home Premium and it has taken over my entire computer. There are over 18+ Windows cells requiring "answers" that show up even before I can see the desktop on logging in.  When I cancel them or downsize them, they keep multiplying. Word has taken over my desktop and applications for games like Zuma, Mahjong Deluxe, Solitaire. Some icons have been "replaced" by Word icons with name of program underneath. Others have original icon, but on trying to access them, they just freeze up.  It has also "eaten" my Avast! anti-virus protection. This is no fun.

 

 This is a nightmare!!!!!!
