The cd is fine, there is nothing wrong with it because like i said, it

have tried it from my internal cd-rom but also an external cd-rom that it

Office XP on a 2nd PC

Posted: 12 Aug 2004 12:48 PM PDT

IIRC, Office XP for Small Business is an OEM only version, meaning that it
is tied to the machine on which it came preinstalled. So, the answer is no,
you will not be able to install it to your desktop.

No, I don't take my Ford to VW dealer to get fixed, Ifix it myself. Yes, I
understand the post is in the wrong subject; question remains unanswered as
to why you had to be so un-helpful. You could have chosen to explain where
her post may have been better placed, you (probably) could have helped her
out, yet you chose to be snide; I'm going to hope that is not your way of
life and I'm going to contribute it as per my point, that being it should not
be so difficult to obtain answers and solutions to problems caused by "fixes"
or issues more common than would seemingly appear, due to Microsofts
selective and misguiding way of making actual answers such as what will make
the machine work properly more easily found; instead of as per my last post,
three to five layers into any given FAQ. Also you left unanswered my several
questions about truthfully, how easy do you find workable solutions, and as a
matter of fact how many of those sol;utions do not create even worse
problems? Huh? You can tell us. Noone should think less of you, maybe (as I
would), MORE of your ability to be honest; and if'n anyone does think less,
guess what, they have the prob and why would you even give a F---? Not really
any skin off your nose, is it? I'm just trying to point out it becomes
frustrating with all these sp's which cause problems elsewhere with other
components at such rate as to make it difficult to remember "Oh, yeah, this
I've dealt with before, now what exactly / how did I fix this last time?"
OK? I truly meant no harm, just saw your less than helping reply and
snapped, forgive my taking it out on you, and yes, if in fact I did take my
Ford to VW, I'd not be surprised if the repairs were done incorrectly. Brings
to mind the question; where the heck do you get good advise / solutions for
problems with your machine; here from other users, right? Shouldn't they come
from MS? Again, are you applying SP2 right away? Peace, Love, Dope, R___

I reckon it's a theory pursuing a basis for existence! But amusing enough,
if only in relation to stereotyping blonde women. Which reminds me -- I saw
this recently:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MEN ACT DUMB WITH BLONDES
There is no scientific evidence that blondes are less intelligent than
brunettes or redheads -- but there is evidence that men act dumb in their
company.

Researchers in France discovered that in general knowledge tests, men
perform worse after looking at pictures of fair-haired women than after
looking at pictures of women with either brown or red hair.

Further analysis convinced the team that the men weren't simply distracted
by the sight of blonde hair, but that they were subconsciously mimicking the
perceived stupidity of the women they had been looking at, reports The
Sunday Times.

This is not the first study to demonstrate the power of stereotypes to
influence behaviour. Previous research has shown that people tend to walk
and talk more slowly when they are in the company of elderly people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Example would be "The PC revolutionized financial management in the 1990s",
meaning "The computer ...". Just as "The Macintosh soon took the leading
place in graphic design."

But far more frequently -- because there are so many different brands of PC,
as distinct from one Mac brand -- it's far more likely that the indefinite
article will be used with PCs, I'd surmise. 

Which bit?
 

Nor do I. I don't think I implied that. :-)

Microsoft Word - How to insert references to self-defined SEQ-numbers?

How to insert references to self-defined SEQ-numbers?

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 02:21 AM PDT

In my documents I have numbered figures, tables and also "examples" (short programming code snippets).

I managed to define myself an independent SEQ number and the examples' captions get properly enumerated. Same as figures and tables they also get listed in my "table of figures" (which is what I want, although I have no clue why they appear there).

 

However, I have not managed, yet, to insert proper *cross-references* to these examples in my text. I would like to be able to refer to these examples the same way as I can do for figures and tables, like "see Example 5" but "Examples" do not appear under References => Cross-reference => Reference Types and hence I can not pick them for insertion.

 

How do I make my self-defined sequence number (or rather its label) show up in that drop-down list, so that I can also insert cross-ref's to my self-defined SEQ numbers?

 

 

Is it possible to change the default font size in Microsoft Office Word 2013?

It's not to much of a problem, but it would be useful to have the font size on '12' or '14' on startup instead of changing it every time Word starts up.

Style Preview Panel does not show correct formatting on styles with auto numbering

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 02:45 PM PDT

I opened my Style Window Pane to modify my heading styles and the preview Heading 1 style does not reflect the actual formatting of the style. For example, the numbering style for Heading 1 in the document is as follows:

 

I. Introduction

 

but the style preview panel shows as:

 

I. Introduction

 

I am seeing this happen to all of the styles with auto numbering, such as a numbered list style.  Is this a Word bug or has someone encountered this before and can provide me with a solution?

 

In Word, if I create a new template by going to "File" => "New" => "My templates" => "Blank Document, under Create New select "Document" and Ok.  If you open your style pane window, by using your keyboard short cut Alt, O, S, or selecting the dialouge box by selecting the dialouge box launcher in the "Home" tab under the Style section.

 

Once you have the style pane / window open, select the "Show Preview" button at the bottom to show the Styles in Preview Mode.  In order to see all your styles, select the "Options" to open the Style Pane Options.  Under "Select styles to whow:" select "All styles" and under "Select how list is sorted:" as "Alphabetical." and select Ok.

 

This will bring you back to your document with the style pane.  Scroll down to the "List" style, apply it to a paragraph with text and modify the style only (not the auto number) to underline.  You should see only the auto number with an underline and the paragraph text with no underlining, although the style appears to be formatted correctly.

background lines appearing in document after saving file

Exmerge. See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=429163ec-dcdf-47dc-96da-1c12d67327d5&displaylang=en

You will need to have all the PST files in a central location/folder on your
server and they should be named to match the alias of the respective
mailbox - as in, joe.pst, mary.pst, etc.....you'll also need to run Exmerge
using an account that has been granted full permissions to all mailboxes.
Also make sure that the PSTs you're importing don't exceed the mailbox quota
sizes you've set (and you should set them as defaults on the info store(s)
as well as making any exceptions in individual mailbox properties).

Or you can run around to each desk and set up a new Outlook profile that has
the Exchange mailbox for each user, and then use file | import in Outlook to
import from the PSTs. Sounds like you may need to go to each desktop
anyway....up to you. Exmerge is nicer in nearly all ways, though.

EXCHANGE backup and restore

Posted: 17 Sep 2004 11:15 PM PDT

Hi Bhalchandra

The process of taking exchange backup is below gop thru if you have any
quries reply me.

your server will have the Windows 2003 Backup utility already installed and
because you have installed Exchange on the server the backup utility will now
be “Exchange aware” and capable of purging the log files and backing up the
databases whilst they are in use. You don’t have to stop any of the Exchange
services when you are performing a backup. If you do stop the services you
will be performing an “Offline” backup and this is not recommended because
the services need to be running to purge the log files correctly.Open the
Windows 2000 Backup utility, Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools
and select Backup

2. Select the Backup tab

3. Open the Microsoft Exchange Server list and expand the server that you
want to backup.
If you want to backup the whole of the Information Store on the selected
server you can simply check the box next to “Microsoft Information Store” or
you can expand the “Microsoft Information Store” and select a particular
Storage Group.
It is recommended that you backup a complete Storage Group, rather than the
individual Stores, that way all the committed transaction log files will be
purged. In the event that you need to backup an individual store you can
simply click on the Storage Group name and select the Store you would like to
backup from the right-hand pane.
.. Once you have made your selection of what you want to backup the next
step is to configure where we want to backup the selection to. This could be
to tape, to another hard disk, to a CD-RW or even to floppy disks if you have
about 600 hanging around. To select the backup location using the “Backup
media or file name” option at the bottom of the page. For this example I
have selected to backup to my G: and use a filename of backup.bkf.
5. When you are ready to start the backup, click on the Start Backup
button. The “Backup Job Information” dialogue box will now be displayed,
click on the Advanced button and ensure the Backup type is set to “Normal
6. If we now proceed and click on the Start Backup button, the backup will
launch and the information we selected will be backed-up to the location we
specified. Once the backup is complete you will receive the “Backup
Progress” dialogue box

7. When your backup is complete, it is very important to review the backup
report to ensure that everything went through OK - what’s the point of doing
a backup only to find its no use when you need it! To review the backup
report, click on the Report button in the “Backup Progress” dialogue box.

The above procedure discusses the way in which you should be backing up your
Exchange Information Store using the built-in Windows 2000 Backup program on
your Exchange server, but you also need to ensure you backup other critical
information as well, backing up the System State and the IIS Metabase is as
important as backing up the Information Store data.

You should ensure that you backup the System State on all of your Domain
Controllers and your Exchange server regularly, I back mine up nightly as
part of my normal backup routine.

Here are a few links to documents that I would recommend you read through to
ensure you fully understand the backup/restore procedure for Exchange 2000
and Domain Controllers:

John,
Yes, did you read my whole response? Read the part about setting a
baseline again. That is exactly what a baseline is for. Take a look at
the Project help file and read all about baselines. If you then have
additional questions, please post again.

MS Project - Critical Path Dependant On Resources

Posted: 21 Jul 2004 04:21 AM PDT

Hi mtbtomo,

If I may step in here. You are correct in your first statement, provided
you have done nothing to upset the path. And this is one of my pet peeves
with Project! When you set up your project and assign resources without any
constraints, then the true critical path(s) will be shown from Start to
Finish. However, Project defines a task as being critical as when slack is
zero - you can get this from Tools/Options.../Calculation tab, at the bottom
where you can vary this definition. Now, when you level, Project delays
tasks with overallocated resources to remove the overallocation. It does
this by applying a value in the Levelling Delay field - try inserting this
column to see the delays (note in elapsed time eg 5edays) being applied.
Project now treats such tasks that were critical as not being so any more,
as there is a delay between the finish of its predecessor and the beginning
of the task, ie some slack, and thus is not coloured red any more. This
will continue, often up to the final task which has no delay and zero slack
running up to the Finish Date. This accounts for what you're seeing.

Because of this, if you are trying to reduce the length of the critical
path, you will have to clear levelling first, add resources to the
appropriate critical task(s) and then re-level to see the effect. If it is
not enough, you must clear levelling to see the critical path(s) again,
select other tasks, add more resources and re-level again - an iterative
procedure to meet your acceptable deadline.

relate to the raising and distribution of an order - and nothing else can
proceed until this has happened. So these tasks are under a summary task
'Stock Order' and all further tasks relating to the completion of the order
are successors of this summary task. I would therefore expect, as it would
delay the project, that at least the longest sub task of 'Stock Order' would
be on the critical path.

everything is still reliant on 'stock Order' happening.

Physical % complete behavior?

Posted: 20 Jul 2004 04:10 PM PDT

No, that is % work complete (where work is counted in hours). Physical
percent complete is a measure of how much work is physically complete
(examples are bricks laid, miles of road paved, lines coded etc.) It should
be something measurable. Physical % complete is important for Earned Value,
but project lets you choose % complete if you wish. In either case, summary
values are not strictly necessary, but would be a nice addition.

Resource allocation within a subset

Posted: 20 Jul 2004 02:27 PM PDT

Hi Michelle,

I can see mlore clearly now, except for what exactly you mean by "I level by
work effort"
Is this Project's Resource Leveling or some routine of your own?
If it is Resource Leveling, it will do exactly as you want it to, it will
not move anything as long as there are no overallocations.

And I start wondering why your tasks do not happen the same day: they
should, if they don't YOU made them move either by constraints such as
setting a hard coded start date or by linking tasks to one another.

Try to find out how YOU moved the tasks (Project just obeys to the rules you
have set) and the problem is solved.

If you do not see what I mean, send me the file, I shall have a look.

HTH

project end date. 
Forinstance, at the beginning of the project, where there are multiple
independent tasks assigned to different resources within a high level task,
I would like the tasks to start are the same day. There is no over
allocation because the resources are different.

Local copies of server project files

Posted: 20 Jul 2004 02:27 PM PDT

Paulo --

When you are working with Project Server, then Project Web Access is the
recommended method for gathering actuals from team members. Is there no way
that you can set up Project Web Access for use by the remote team members?
Very simply, you are using the Project Server system contrary to how it is
intended to be used, which results in the problems you are seeing. Just a
thought.

Hi Mike

(Robert sorry to butt in but i also have this problem)

what i would prefer rather than the job starting at 4pm and going to
midnight (which 8eh would give me) is that the whole job is put off to the
next working day ... i manage this manually at the moment but was wondering
if i also was missing something that would allow me to make this more
automatic.

Cheers
