As an aside I find that when I burn an iso that if I use my cdrw drive for
starting the install (both my dvd and cdrw drives are selected in the

How to Test Hard Drive Integrity?

Yes I should have.

I have a spare 8GB partition on the drive for testing new Linux distros.
I wonder if I install on that part. and overclock the machine, and if
I get similar failure, if I can be confident that the damage would be
isolated to only the "test" partition?

Probably a dangerous move. I am getting very close to needing to use
this machine for real work, so I may just have to live with never
knowing for sure what happened.

Good day!

Is Linux virus-proof?

The package manager doesn't matter for a binary exploit. What matters is
the exact version of the targeted binary. Malware that does not target a
bug in a binary just has to be able to find compatible libraries. Since
Linux libraries are backward-compatible at any given major revision level,
all that is necessary to target just about any available distribution is
that the malware be built with an old version of libc6 (or be written in
Perl5-base or Bash).

Of course, the hard part is inducing the user to install your malware...

Thanks for the help. I spend most of my days working with Windows. Haven't
been involved in Linux since Redhat 4. I am running Redhat 9 and most of my
books cover version 4 and 6 from Redhat. I also have some 10 - 15 year old
Unix books to help confuse me as well.

I just love the sound deadlines make as they go by.

2 questions about a Search loop

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 10:24 AM PDT

Hello, folks,

 

I want to make what I THINK would be a pretty straightforward loop.  It needs to search a document for text between quotation marks, underline the first Find, pause and ask the user if they want to continue (like a regular Word search-and-replace does), and if the user clicks yes, continue the search from right after the first Find, search for the next Find and underline it, pause again, asking the user if they want to continue, etc.   I'd be grateful for any help. Thank you, -Lynne.

2 QUESTIONS:

1-How to make the screen show what each Find is, as the macro moves along?

2-How to make the loop continue after the first Find?  (See With/End With #3, in the code.)

What I've got so far works fine, but I don't know how to make the loop continue after the first Find. 

In the macro, first are the Dims for the Message Box to ask if user wants to continue.  It has Yes and No buttons.

Next is the Dim for the Search and Replace range.

Then is the SEARCH LOOP.  It has 3 With/End With statements:  #1 underlines the SearchAndReplaceRng.  #2 gets rid of underlining of any commas.  #3, I THINK(?), would reset SearchAndReplaceRng to be from after the most recent Find to then end of the document.

Also, the screen needs to show where the Find has paused.  Right now, it doesn't.

 

Here's my code:

Sub TESTForTermByTerm()

'==***========================

'Dims for the Yes/No MsgBox:

Dim Msg, Style, Response, MyString

Msg = "Continue ?"

Style = vbYesNo

'==***========================

'Dim for the Seach/Replace:

Dim SearchAndReplaceRng As Range

Set SearchAndReplaceRng = ActiveDocument.Content

'==***========================

'Search loop:

            .Font.Underline = True

        End With

'==*** ========================

        With SearchAndReplaceRng.Find '<--look for any underlined commas and de-underline

            .Text = ","

            .Font.Underline = True

            .Replacement.Text = ","

            .Replacement.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineNone

            .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

        End With

'==*** ========================

'With/End With #3:   ß HELP?

        With SearchAndReplaceRng

            'Move the end of the range to 4 chars after the end of the find, then collapse it?

Inserting caption makes the figure disappear

Posted: 07 Jun 2013 02:28 AM PDT

Hi,

I've been working on a large document with lots of figures, equations etc. When I opened the document today and tried to add a caption to a figure, the figure just disappears. It disappears in the same instant when I click Insert Caption - no matter if it is right click of mouse or at  References tab. I haven't changed any settings since the last time I used the document and it worked fine before. Adding captions to tables still works fine.
The same happens in any other document (and any figure) so it must be a global setting.

I tried changing a tamplate as described in 'How to troubleshoot damaged documents in Word 2007 and in Word 2010' but it didn't help.

What else can I do?

Thanks in advance
Andrzej

Word could not establish a DDE contection to Excel spreadsheet ( after doiing so for past 12 months)

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 05:55 PM PDT

I have a suite of Word documents that are templates and I merge the Winword ( office 2007) with Excel Data Spreadsheet. I have been doing this for over ten years and when I upgraded to Office 2007 sundenly I could no longer create new Word.Doc Templates as the upgraded Office 2007 for some reason would not allow the DDE merge I therefore had to choose options which would not carry the cell formats through the the template. When I did this it results in some strange highlighting and the dollar figure and date formats appearing as PLAIN NUMBERs ONLY.

I tried to get the answers from Microsoft but hey no luck so I contented my self with having to copy an old Template and make changes to suit new needs. Then about a year ago I created a new .Doc Template chose the DDE version and glory be it worked.

Then yesterday 6/6/13 I when I open ANY of my templates I get the above message which pushes me back to the other option that don't carry the formating over.

Word 2010 drop-down boxes: Any way to change "Choose an item?"

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 04:30 PM PDT

As you know, when you create a drop box in Word 2010, the drop box text displays a greyed out "Choose an item." Is there any way to change this? I've tried removing it from Properties and tried adding a custom entry with no value, but it always says "Choose an item." I would rather have it say "Select a time zone."

Thanks for any help,

Can't delete a Word document

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 08:34 AM PDT

I am using Word 2010 and I have a Word document on our server that is an older version (.doc). I am trying to delete that old document but I keep getting a message that it is open by another user. No one is in this document. I saw the hidden temp file for it and I deleted it thinking that would do the trick but I still get the message that another user is in it. I even tried deletign from the server itself but no luck. Can anyone please tell me how I can trash this old document?

 

Thank you!

Mail Merge with Excel Workbook inserts erroneous first name

Posted: 06 Jun 2013 07:01 AM PDT

I am versed in mail merge using Word as the letter template and an Excel spreadsheet as the data source. In a recent merge Word (or Excel) is inserting 12:00 AM as the first name in the address block and in the greeting line. The worksheet shows the first name correctly but the merged document inserts the erroneous "12:00 AM" name in every letter. I tried rewriting the letter from scratch. I tried moving the columns in the workbook. I exited the programs and rebooted the computer. I saved the files as new names.

I run Windows 7 with all updates and Office 2013 with all updates. I can send both the Word letter and the Excel spreadsheet for analysis.

how to insert two headers in a page?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:11 PM PDT

Hello All,

I have excel macro, which opens a collection of word docs one by one and does some data manipulation. I have two questions which I could not solve:

1) I am trying to have two different headers and the headers should only be visible on the first page. Is that possible?
    For Example: Center aligned header in first page should read "Sample Text 1" with font size 12 CALIBRI and the right aligned header should read "Sample Text 2" with font size 16 CALIBRI. Is this possible?

2) Similarly, I want to have a footer but only in the LAST page (This last page keeps on changing with the docs).
For Example: Center aligned footer in last page should be "Sample Footer Text1" with font size 8 CALIBRI and the right aligned footer should read "Sample Footer Text2" with font size 8. Is this possible or am I just day dreaming?

Thanks in advance for all the help :)

Spellcheck and Autotext in Forms with Input Interface created in VBA 7

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 11:28 AM PDT

First off, I am not a programmer in any sense....I took one programming 101 course in college like 15 years ago.   So I'm sure I have no idea when it comes to proper lingo so I apologize in trying to explain this.   

 

I put together a Word template with an interface created in VBA 7 that populates a Word 2010 document from an input form.   Works great except for two big things....and these may be deal breakers with my bosses on this project!  

 

After I type in the data on the input form and close the input window, the data from the user form goes into the document like it is supposed to.  The problem is that spellcheck will not spellcheck anything that I put into that form using the input form.   And any autotext shortcuts do not work if I put them in on the the input form.   My guess is that Word treats this text as a field or it is somehow marked to not check it or read that data.  If I skip the input form and just type directly on the form, spellcheck and autotext works the way it is supposed to.    Or I can use the form for part of it and skip other parts, but still, only the portions that I input later without the input form have full functionality.  

 

I really don't want to skip the input form!  The beauty of the input form is that I don't have to tab through 100 different fields within the form which is setup using a complicated table.   So I want my cake (the input form), and I want to eat it too (Spellcheck and autotexts need to work)!

 

I have been looking at these issues for a while now and see some previous posts on how the document cannot be locked/protected.    I have tried it both ways with the document locked and without.   Grouping sections, different sections, etc.   The problem is anything that comes from the input form is essentially not recognized when spellchecking or using autotexts.  

 

I also tried setting up a macro that selects the entire document after the input form and then run Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert fields to straight text.   It still will not allow me to spellcheck anything that came from that input form. 

 

I also used the spellcheck macro suggested on one of the MVP sites and got that macro to work, but it does the same thing.  It skips anything that put in on the input form. 

 

What am I missing?   Any ideas?   Thanks in advance. 

 

 

Word and Accdb mail merge without Access

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 03:52 PM PDT

I have an Access 2010 DB on a home network drive. Both of my home PCs have Office 2010 Professional (including Access).

I intend borrowing a friends laptop to help me run a small application for a club. His PC has a version of Office 2010 that excludes Access.

Does anyone know if I can use that PC, without Access, to run a Word mail merge using my networked Access DB as a data source?

Many thanks

IIRC, Office XP for Small Business is an OEM only version, meaning that it

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,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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. :-)

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.

My multilevel list style won't link Heading 6 to level 6.

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 10:39 AM PDT

I'm using a List style (Sections) to create a multilevel outline. I have six levels, and I'm linking each level to a Heading style (1 thru 6). However, when I attempt to link level 6 to Heading 6, it doesn't take. Heading 6 shows level 6. How do I get level 6 to display?

background lines appearing in document after saving file

Posted: 04 Jun 2013 11:48 AM PDT

When I type text in a new blank document, everything appears as normal.  After I save the file to my computer as a .docx or .doc file, lines appear in between paragraphs.  These lines are in between spaced paragraphs.  They look like grey lines on a legal pad paper.

 

When I print the document no lines show on the paper.  Is this typical for all documents in Word 2013, or is there a way to turn this feature off?

 

I am using MS Word 2013 in Windows 7.  I have all Microsoft Updates and Office Updates installed. 

 

Thanks for the help.

Normal blue hyperlinks print as magenta color

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 02:31 PM PDT

In Office 2010, hyperlinks appear in documents as the normal blue color and underline.  When printing the document the hyperlinks color is changed to a magenta (reddish-purple) while retaining the underline.  Is it my printer or the program?

 

 

Predefined margins

Posted: 03 Jun 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I have different page sizes and orientation in a same document, with different margins for witch one. 
Is there a way to modify the predefined margins (Normal, Narrow, Moderate, etc) for future documents?
Is tedious change every time the margins by hand...
Thanks!
