Colour in calender

Posted: 04 Nov 2004 07:08 AM PST

Hello -

Unfortunately you can't manually change the font colors in the Works
Calendar. However in the new Works 8 calendar you can create different
calendars for different people - each calendar uses a different font color
for its appointments...

MS Works after SP2

Hi JanV,

I do not have a solution for the problem, but thanks for letting us know
it's an OEM version.

Good afternoon,

bad news: I tried repairing Works 2000, apparently some files are missing
for a reinstall, and a box kept popping up (error 1308) during repair
process
saying retry, ignore or cancel. The repair couldn't continue, when I hit
cancel, a box popped up saying "fatal error with installation", whatever
that
means.
It's an OEM version, it seems there's no update for it.
Does anyone know if I uninstall it (instead of "repair"), will I be able to
reinstall?
I don't want to lose it forever, although I don't use it much without the
features I've been trying to get back. The only cd's I have are restore
discs.
Thanks for your input,
Jan

Well - honour is due.!............. Many thanks indeed for that little
flywheel......

I will check later through each of about a million applications we run
but I am here, hot foot after making "staff-view" in Cakewalk Sonar
3 scroll (IntelliPoint optical) - just added the application - and it works

If there is one thing that cheers me up more than finding myself fit and
healthy, rich and surrounded by accommodating ladies - it's software
which actually works.........

At the moment I am beating MsWorks One-Nil....... I am just tuning
a Macro which looks for the correct response to File | print (a box
called "print") and if it doesn't find it - it starts again....

There are about 3 failures in ten - but the macro can open MsWorks,
a standard letter-head (or fax page), page of special characters, two
envelope templates, and large address label template in about 20
seconds so a restart now and then is not too much of pain....

I have asked all over the place about a little widget app which could
fix scrolling - and Flywheel was never mentioned..

Once again - my thanks..

Perhaps these help:

Works extends ActiveSync to synchronize with an external

GDIPlus.dll vulnerability

Microsoft Word - Full Cross Reference

Microsoft Word - Full Cross Reference

Full Cross Reference

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:28 PM PDT

If I have a document that contains multiple levels and I want to cross reference Paragraph 3.c.  Is there a way to use the full context "Paragraph 3.c." rather than simply cross referencing c.

 

Paragraph 3.  Text

        c. Text

 

Later in the document I'd like to cross-reference the entire reference to Paragraph 3.c. and have it point to c.

 

Is there a way?

How can I reduce the space between paragraphs and examples?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:02 PM PDT

To be clear: the space between lines within my paragraphs is fine. The space between one paragraph and the next is fine. But when I place example sentences (this is a paper about linguistics) between two paragraphs there is too much space. To illustrate (placed in bold so you can tell where the illustration begins and ends):

The concepts of subject and topic are not the same, as neatly illustrated in (a), based on an example from Van Valin & LaPolla 1997:252).

 

    (a)  Speaker A:  Who won the ball game?

         Speaker B:  The Giants won.


The subject of Speaker B's sentence is The Giants, but the topic (the entity new information is being provided about) is the winner of the game.


If I were to start the example on the very next line after I introduce it, and continue my discussion on the very next line after it, that would not be enough space. But if I skip two lines, as I did here (and as I always do), that's too much space. One solution would be to place examples with a table and adjust the height of its rows. But that's extra work, and does not let me see what sentence I'm trying to refer to elsewhere in the document when I go to Alt-S > RF (i.e. References > Cross-reference).


Thanks for your help.

Are there any known problems with users of Word 2007 and earlier versions filling in forms created in Word 2010?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 12:41 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I'm preparing to deliver some training on the use of forms created in Word 2010 (for reference they are using Windows 7). These forms will be distributed via email and also via links on a website (which will open the form in Word).  However, we have no way of knowing which version of Word the user will be working with when completing the form.  The form is to be submitted by email attachment.

 

Does anyone have any words of advice?  I was contemplating creating the form in Word; but adding the fields in Acrobat so users could use Acrobat to complete the form.  Again, this poses a question about version functionality.

 

I'd be really grateful for your thoughts.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Kind regards

Mail Merge Labels Help

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I am creating a mail merge label document using an excel data file.  What does a ? with a box around it mean?  That symbol is showing up on my labels here and there.  Mostly between the street address line and the City/State/Zip line. It looks like maybe there is a carriage return there.  The data file contains two columns, one for the name and one for the address.  The only way I have been able to fix this is either edit each label after the merge or separate the Street and City/State/Zip lines into two colums before the merge.  Is there an easier way?  Thanks

When she does that, a Section Break (Next Page) existing on page 1 suddenly turns into a Section Break (Continuous). What the heck is going on? Why would removing section 3 cause the division between sections 1 and 2 to suddenly modify itself? I watched it happen this afternoon and am astounded (an amazed). has anyone encountered this before?

Word is spastic and jumps up and down when cursor clicked

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 06:07 AM PDT

Word has gotten spastic over the past few months,

 

I am writing a 2,000 page document and almost every time I move and click cursor - the page jumps up and down dodging the cursor around, highlighting and deleting lines by itself. - I am using a laptop with a mouse & have disabled the touchpad.

 

It is far too frustrating to continue using Word unless this can be corrected- I be forced to choose Apple for a more stable writing platform.

 

mail merge field label depends on field value

I have tried something like  {IF{MERGEFIELD Type} = "A" "A*" "B"}. SHIFT-F9 does not hide the instruction and it prints as tho it is the desired text.

I have a similar instruction for another field to control whether the field shows and that works fine.

 

Can I accomplish what I want to do?

Adding custom colours to the colour palette

Posted: 31 May 2013 05:46 AM PDT

We have developed a colour palette for our project which uses a number of custom colours.  We have already set up a range of templates using these colours for headings and text etc but it would be helpful if we could add our colours to the colour palette in Word, Excel and Powerpoint etc so that we don't have to select them using the RGB numbers each time we create a new document.   I know they save as a recently used colour but these are lost at the end of each workday.

 

This function wasn't available in previous versions of Office but I wondered whether it has been addressed in Office 2010?

 

Thanks

Word 2010 Smart art graphics/diagrams will not print - just random text box outlines

Posted: 30 May 2013 09:30 PM PDT

Multiple users in my organisation and others have found that when using smart art graphics or just text boxes to create flow charts etc, when printing the graphics don't appear, instead just random parts of the text box outlines show up - a single line not the whole box.  We have tried converting to PDF using our PDF application and then printing but the same problem occurs.  The only solution I have come up with so far is to use Save & Send > Create PDF/XPS document to print a PDF.  Using the print to PDF function does not work.  Initially, I thought it was  a conflict with our printers but have now heard someone from another organisation who said they have the exact same problem and they tried my solution and it works.

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.

Currently we run Office 97 Pro in our organisation but need to upgrade to Office 2000. Unfortunately we have hundreds of Access 97

Can we upgrade from Office 97 to Office 2000, uninstalling all Office 97 components except for Access 97 and installing all Office
2000 components except for Access 2000?

If so how can this be done without firstly removing Office 97 completely, then installing Office 2000 then finally installing Access

Not exactly. You can use GPO in conjuction with an Office Admin image and
you can update that image (this is no different than the way the Office 2000
and Office XP worked). What you cannot do is use the Local Install Source
feature with GPO as it requires an Admin image not a compressed CD image.
The LIS feature is controlled via SETUP.EXE which is not used by GPO.

The information in the Office Resource Kit at

The origonal software, ie the software you used prior to 2003 is part of yr

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

You, too, will need the original qualifying product. If you had read the
upgrade license, it requires you to retain the QP as a part of the upgrade

This failure can be the result of dust on the CD or possibly a damaged CD.
First try cleaning the data side of the CD with a soft cloth. Then see if
you can manually copy that file from the CD to your hard disk. If that
succeeds, then try installing again.

Linux installation problem

Posted: 29 Jul 2004 01:17 PM PDT

John Bahran wrote:
 

What is the installation telling you is wrong?

Hmm-- I am wondering whether you are deleting the XP (NTFS) partitions
first. You say you want to install Red Hat "on top" of XP, which I
interpret to mean you don't want XP anymore and would like to use that hard
drive space for Linux instead.

If this is the case, you need to go into the partitioning part of the
install (do this partition work manually rather than automatically), and
first delete the NTFS partitions that Windows is on. Then add ext2 or ext3
partitions for Linux (and you'll need one swap partition as well). And the
root partition would be "/", not "/;" (unless you know something I don't).

While you are at it, it's a good idea to make several partitions. Make the
"/" partition a certain size, and create more partitions for /usr, /var,
and /home (plus the swap partition). This is only a suggestion. It'll
help to keep /var's log entries and other data from scattering all over the
place, and having a separate /home partition means that if you ever upgrade
or reinstall, your personal data and settings can stay intact, as you can
elect not to erase/reformat a /home partition when you re-install Linux.
It's also good to keep /usr separate for a lot of reasons, since it'll
contain program files, information, and other things that can get changed
around a lot. Isolating partitions like this is helpful and safer for
doing maintenance and backup work. For ex. if /usr gets hosed somehow, it
can be important that you can at least access other partitions in order to
use certain repair methods.

I'm not the best one to explain these things, but maybe I said something
useful.

And try to get a newer Red Hat disc if you can ;-)

Check out the article "Snooping the USB Data Stream" by Greg
Kroah-Hartman in the latest (August 2004) issue of LinuxJournal. It was
excellent.

grub reading wrong sectors?

Turns out that telling the BIOS to use LBA mode to access the drive
fixed it. There must be some BIOS or drive bug as the BIOS changes
the drives natural 6588x16x63 geometry to 823x128x63. So telling it
to use LBA mode must work around the bug.

NIS can do this, but LDAP is becoming more preferred these days. If you can
spend the time, learn to use it. NFS or SMB can share the files from one
machine to another over the network.

If, however, you actually need the boxes to be independent, look into
"rsync" and learn to use it effectively, preferably over an SSH tunnel.

"Resource temporarily unavailable": a firewall issue?

I do not know what firewall you are running, but I run one built with
_iptables_. Originally I set it up to reject everything not particularly
enabled. It is still like that.

But also, originally, I made it log every message that it rejected. Right
now, the only change I made to that was to throttle the logging rate, and
to stop logging pings (that are almost entirely refused) due to the great
number of them I get.

If you do that, you will be able to see just what requests are being
rejected by your firewall and can adjust it to accept those you need to
accept. Every once in a while I get mysterious failures which usually mean
some server has changed to a new IP address and I must open that port from
that address. But it is rare and so far has been only with Intuit,
Quicken, and TurboTax.

How to rebuild vmlinuz and initrd.img from scratch for pxeboot environment

It's usually a good idea to keep the old kernel, and have a backup boot
selection ("man lilo" or "man grub"), so that if the new kernel is
"busted" you can still boot the old kernel and make repairs. That is less
important nowadays, since there are several ways to boot rescue CDs, but
it is still rather convenient to use that feature.

Debian Exim4 w/ Fetchmail (easy?)

Okay, like I thought, pretty easy. Turns out I have a .forward in
$HOME which refers to procmail. But I never asked Debian to install
procmail. So a little "apt-get install procmail" solved all my
problems. Silly me; too used to distros that insist you install the
kitchen sink along with the base packages.

Hi,

thanks for the infos I didn't know about.

BUT

mii-tool run ONLY on one side: on the other I get some error message.
The side that gives me problem has a strange motherboard.
This motherboard (low-end ECS EliteGroup :-)) ) seems to handle ethernet
in a funny way:
It seems that TWO devices are taking care of it:

1) SiS900
2) Realtek 8201BL (or something like this)
Do I have to expect conflict between both of them ?
Sorry about not giving exact error messages

booting from external usb hard drive?

I was able to do this using the SuSE 9.0 Pro installation disk. (Tried

Just told it to keep off my WinXP and Linux internal drives, and
install Linux and put the GRUB loader on the external drive.
 

Didn't try that approach.
Although my BIOS appears to allow booting from a USB device, it totally
ignored my request to boot from the external USB drive.
However, by booting the SuSE installation disk instead, its installation
process (the 'boot existing Linux' part) then found the drive and booted it.

I suspect it was able to do so because it had already loaded sufficient
USB function to make the external USB drive accessible.

I agree. The tool is just part of the problem. Defining and getting
agreement on a standard process and training the users is quite an effort in
a large group.

How are percentages calculated?

Posted: 15 Jul 2004 12:12 PM PDT

The best thing to do is look in Help, and ask the question "how is
percent complete computed" and you'll see the article "Percentage and
number fields" and there you can see how these fields are computed.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hi Robin,

If you expand the sub-project files within the master, you can link tasks in
the normal way: eg select the 2 tasks an click the Link tool.

Can no longer send document from MS Word with Save And Send.

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 02:42 PM PDT

Until a few days ago, I was able to send a document in MS Word 2010  using the Save and Send application. Now, I get an announcement that a document cannot be sent to my mail client (Outlook). I have been able to copy the document in Word and paste it into an Outlook email, but it was much simpler and with several useful choices when I could use Send and Save. I should mention that I am not very knowledgeable about Word and have learned what I know from the excellent tutorials made available. Is there a simple answer to this problem?                    Thanks/ Rich

Where to download an OFFLINE copy of a dictionary for Word?

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:41 AM PDT

Word no longer includes a dictionary (which seems hard to believe), and I'd like to use one. However I am not always online, and wonder if anyone knows where to find a downloadable dictionary for OFFLINE use? Perhaps one could use the perfectly fine Word 2010 dictionary.

 

Anyone know why Microsoft devalued Word in this peculiar way?!

 

Hopefully any answers will also apply to Excel...

Where are the default documents opened by Word and Excel 2013?

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 09:36 AM PDT

Where are the default documents which Word & Excel 2013 open?

 

I want to change headers & footers, default bullet indents and other items that I do not believe can be done by simply changing the 'defaults'.  Nearly every version of Word & Excel seems to change these directories and how this works - creating endless confusion and frustration for customers.

 

For Office 2010 I believe the following applied:

WORD: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotx

EXCEL: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart\Book.xltx

but these no longer work. A Search of Office online is useless as was my initial Google search: most responses deal with changing defaults, but do not address location of the default templates...

 

Thanks!
