How do I copy from ie & paste to wks ss cell w/o comma separation?

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 07:37 PM PDT

Hi Jennifer,

The comma is a defined delimiter generally used for separation
and importation of several data items.

It may be overridden using the "text specifier" character "

Paste the copied text into a word processor.

Insert a double-quotation mark (") at the first character position.

Copy the text, including the inserted quotation mark.

Paste into a single cell of the spreadsheet.

Format>Alignment and check the 'Wrap text within a cell' option to
implement multi-lined format.

Regarding the e-mail program, what mail program are you using? Is the mail server a POP3?

With a POP3 mail server, by default messages are downloaded to the PC's hard disk and
deleted from the server. If you try to view the mail with another PC or mail program, it
won't be on the server.

There are some ways to handle this depending on the type of mail server and programs
involved.

If I have a table with 78 (+/-) rows containing text and want to insert a blank row between each text row, how can I accomplish this in the least time and most efficient way possible?

StyleRef Heading 1 Not Populated in Header Unless H1 is on Page

Posted: 23 May 2013 05:43 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 document that has odd/even pages with right/left headers populated with the value of Heading 1 (using StyleRef). Two "even" pages out of an 18 page document do not populate the StyleRef for Heading 1 unless there is an actual Heading 1 on that page. Normally, Word just carries forward the last H1 into the header StyleRef when there is no Heading 1 on a page.

All the other even numbered pages display the Heading 1 StyleRef--even when there is no Heading 1 on a particular page.

These two troublesome "even" pages will display the Heading 1 StyleRef if I manually insert an H1 on the problem pages.

These pages are all in the same section with other normal "even" pages.

Any ideas?

Microsoft Word - Button to insert date

Microsoft Word - Button to insert date

Button to insert date

Posted: 23 May 2013 09:20 AM PDT

Context: I have created a tab with various commands groups, mostly from macros. My objective are to achieve standardization of the content input and that novice users can fill a word document matrix with little or no knowledge of Word and tables. The date must be that of the day of the input of a row, not that of the document creation.

The predefined formats (Insert tab, text group, date and time) are not suitable so I used the field Date when I recorded the macro. I tried to do Ctrl+Shift+F9 but the macro did not record that command.

What code do i need to add to my VBA to insure that the date is "unfielded" once created?  I tried the following but it does not work...

====================
Sub InsérerDate()
'
' InsérerDate Macro
'
'
    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "DATE  \@ ""dd/MM"" ", PreserveFormatting:=True
    Selection.Fields.Unlink
End Sub
=====================

Trouble getting rid of upside down T character - AutoFit related

Posted: 22 May 2013 01:43 PM PDT

I notice an odd character (an upside down T) appears in the table cells I've formatted. I found out that these marks are because of the enabled AutoFit setting. The marks disappear when AutoFit is turned off but I need AutoFit for my table. The character cannot be deleted as it is attached to the text. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this character?

Is There a Way to Reduce the Vertical Spacing between Checkboxes?

Posted: 22 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

I'm trying to replace ActiveX checkboxes with Form Checkboxes in an existing template for speed and compatibility.

The checkboxes are stacked vertically with a cell of a Table and pretty closely align with lines of text in the adjacent cell.

 

The problem is that when I stack the Form Checkboxes they seem to take about 50% more vertical space than the ActiveX, even thought the checkbox symbol itself is the same size.

 

Is there any way to stack these closer together?

(Through search I found some techniques using symbols and macros; however I'd prefer a solution that doesn't require macros).

 

We are using Office 2010 and the file is .docx format.

 

Thanks in advance!

Save As HTML, now all .docx files open with messed up formatting

Posted: 21 May 2013 01:02 PM PDT

Word 2013.

I used Save As to create an HTML version of document. When I opened the .htm file, the formatting was messed up, which I expected (the file used columns). But, when I open the original .docx file, the formatting is messed up in the same way as the .htm file-- yet Windows Explorer says that the original .docx file has not been modified since several days ago. My original file is not actually changed. But Word is not displaying it correctly.

I TRIED OPENING MY OTHER FILES, AND THEY'RE ALL MESSED UP TOO.

It doesn't matter how I open: double-click in File Explorer, or File>Open in Word.

I've made sure not to save any files.

Also, if I use File>New to create a new .doxc file using the template on which my original .docx file is based, the file looks right initially -- before I save it.

But if I save it, close it, and reopen the brand new .docx file-- the formatting is messed up, just like the .htm file.

 

 

Macro Word: Highlight text then add following "QUOTE" Field

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:51 AM PDT

I am a total newbie at VBA, and hitting a snag, so be gentle!

I am working on the following scenario for Word 2010:

I am trying to highlight selected text within the active document then insert a QUOTE field code with data based on input from a userform.

Invoking the userform, highlighting, and inserting of field work, but I cannot figure out how to turn off the highlighting before inserting the field code.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

HL

The relevant code (partly from recording macros, partly from research, and partly trial and error) is:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
    Dim abbrType As String
    Dim abbrMark As String
    Dim expan As String
    Dim entered As String
    Dim insertMe As String
    Dim oRng As Range
    Dim oInsertAft As Range
   
    Set oRng = Selection.Range 'range of selection
   
    <snip ...>
    'output to document
   
    'highlight abbreviation itself
    oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
    Set oInsertAft = oRng
    oInsertAft.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    oInsertAft.HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen 'stuck this in just to see if it altered the formatting

    'Put other data in field: concatenates strings from userform
    insertMe = expan & "[" & abbrType & "&" & abbrMark & "]"

    oInsertAft.inser
    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=oInsertAft, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "QUOTE "" " & insertMe & " "" ", PreserveFormatting:=False    'shouldn't this not continue the earlier highlighting?

Posted: 22 May 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Hi, I take apart electronic devices and catalog their parts.
I currently use forms where I fill in the first four fields via microsoft office, and leave the rest of the fields blank. These first four fields are for information about the device, and therefore need to be on every form.  I then print the forms and simply write the information for each part in by hand, then attach the form to the device.

I want to switch to a different kind of document where I can have 16 forms on a single page, and where I can fill in the fields about the device and have it fill in all 16 forms, but fill in the rest of the fields about each part individually.

Is what I'm asking posssible?

I have the entire 2010 Office suit, so I am not limited to using Word.

Thanks,

How do I use the mousepad in microsoft professional 2010 word to copy and paste

ok so I bought a laptop acer apire one to finish the editing process in writing a book and I can't seem to get the non-button mouse pad to bring up the correct menu when I use the commads to bring up the right click menu.  You must hit control and touch the pad on the right to get the menu to come up but when I do it while in microsoft word 2010, nothing happens, it says something about a selection not being valid. But when I go out onto my desk top and want to do something such as minimize or close a document it allows me to do so with the same command.  I need the copy and paste menu to come up when I highlight a word or phrase and its not working.  I only get the edit menu, such as font style and color.  Help Please!!!??!?!? 

Selecting and Using Text in VBA

Posted: 21 May 2013 06:17 PM PDT

I want to determine (and then manipulate the text string between an open bracket ("[}) and a close bracket ("]").  Since I want to replace the bracket and the text, I also need to be able to delete that, hopefully in a single selecting process.

The bracketed material (text) is within a paragraph and not within a bookmark or anything so this has to be specific.  I assume that I will have to put the cursor inside the text, search backwards for the open bracket and then somehow do an extended selection/search to the close bracket.

How is that done?

TIA

Why is my macro Delete button gray?

Posted: 21 May 2013 10:59 AM PDT

Hello:

In Word 2010, when I click Macro and get to the macro window, I cannot delete certain macros that show up there, because the Delete button is grayed out. How come?

The macro seems to be in "Toolbar - Hans.dot (global template)". It must be a relic from going from Word 2000 to Word 2010 (my toolbar is in Add-in).

By opening Toolbar – Hans.doc, I could see the Delete button not grayed, and I clicked it for the macro I wanted to delete, and said Yes, but then, a box (Project Locked) told me that "Project is unviewable".

So, I'm between a rock and a hard place. Any help would be appreciated.

Copy/pasting certain cells in a table (Word 2010)

Posted: 16 May 2013 10:46 PM PDT

Hi experts!

I have a bit of an odd question: Is it possible to restrict a user from copying the text from particular cells in a table? While still allowing them to copy the text in other cells?

Backstory:
I'm setting up a simple online form using a table and the form tools in the Developer Tab. We are sending the form out to collect information. The completed form will be processed at a very basic level by someone taking the data via copy and paste. I thought it would make it easier for the processing person if I could "lock" the table headings (Name, Telephone etc) which are not required. 

Alternative solutions to collating form-data with Word would be welcome. I am a bit stuck for solutions here as we have to preserve the completed forms for records management reasons. (I really wanted to set up a web form for users but this was denied). 

Cheers for the help guys!

This is true. But of course they can ALSO probe for valid addresses if they
know you return NDRs by having the return address be an actual, valid
mailbox. They can then compare the NDRs it does and does not receive from
your domain against a record of addresses they sent to your domain.

So to me, this is not a compelling argument for NDRs over 550 rejects.

Making the case for using 550 rejects instead of NDRs, if the spammer forges
their domain (likely, as we all know), then it ends up being your site that
ends up sending tons of mail to that poor domain. But if your server simply
returned a 550 for invalid recipients, one of two things will occur.

First and best, if it's a specialized spam program, usually it'll just drop
the message right then and there. Or, if they've managed to use someone
else's SMTP relay, that relay will probably generate an NDR itself. But, the
NDR will *NOT* be from your server.

There are folks who WILL end up blocking ANY email from you if they end up
receiving tons of NDRs from you due using NDRs instead of 550 rejects.

IMO, going the 550 route is better for both your site and the Internet at
large.

So I don't know what the problem is. Any more ideas?

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

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

Remove Office Registration doesn't work!

Thanks for all the info. I'm not using Leopard, still using 10.4.11.
I've now deleted all the extraneous Office apps and now only have
Office 2004 on my hard drive. The nessage I get when I try to remove
just the Licence Info is a small box that reads " Before you can re-
enter your Microsoft Office licensing information, certain files that
you no longer need must be removed from your computer. To remove these
files, click Remove."

When I do that, the beachball spins for a while and them I'm brought
back to the Welcome to Remove Office box, and so the merry-go-round
begins again. I do regular back-ups to an external hard drive using
Super Duper, so I'm not worried about losing any files, and I don't
use Entourage. However, I don't really want to uninstall and then
reinstall Word as I would then have to go through and do all the
updates.

I'll see what happens on my daughter's computer and then let you know.
Gosh it's tempting to just use iWork!

Side note--every installation will have a different Product ID in the
About menu. However, if the Product IDs differ *only* in the last block
of numbers, then it means the same license key was used to install all
of them. When a key is used multiple times, it creates a different
Product ID every time, but the first three blocks will always be identical.

How to paste a list of hyperlinks (e.g. list of external blog links)into Excel and keep the titles and the links?

Thanks Daiya:

I wasn't going to take a guess that it works in Safari 2...

I must install that... :-)

Cheers

OS 10.5 and Entourage 2004 Email: crash if click font colorbutton

During the font-color-button crash period, I had no problems with other font
buttons.

Font selection in Entourage email seems (emphasize "seems"--because I'm not
sure it is--slower with Leopard than it used to be under Tiger.

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.

Respectfully, Norm
