Word 2008 - customising toolbar

Posted: 22 Jan 2008 01:59 PM PST

Yes, it was the error i referred to before about the Command Properties, i thought it was meant to display the Fonts bar that you could drag to the toolbar. Just a passing question, do you need to have an internet connection to use the dictionary? It's annoying for me as sometimes i don't have access to a connection and Word 2004 had a built in dictionary. Thanks

Compatibility with pc office 07

Posted: 21 Jan 2008 10:16 PM PST

Yes, you can. Note that you can also do this with earlier versions of
Office, such as Office 2004, since Office 2007 can read and write both the
old and new file formats (as can Mac Office 2008).

Event sink for changing X-headers

This rather seems to be malformed spam emails, these random words are
used to confuse Bayesian methods. Your problem might be that the actual
message is bad, i.e. the message does not contain an empty line after
the headers so these words are treated as header information.

To confirm this you should examine the full MIME message. This cannot
be done with outlook as it only shows partial header information, but
using another MUA - like outlook express - you can get the email in
question via POP3 or IMAP.

If this is the problem I do not think too much can be done - use some
kind of spam protection, if you have not done this already.

In Word's outlining mode there is a subtopic indicator displayed for any particular level if that level is collapsed and if the level has a sub-level.

The subtopic indicator consists in a hashed underlining of the heading level you are looking at.

I don't want to use the Print Layout, and I don't want two different windows and then viewing the two pages side by side (because I'm using a second, different document that I switch to and from frequently).

Creating legacy text box fields with calculations can yield incorrect results

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 07:07 PM PDT

Hi all,

I have a strange result when using legacy text boxes in Word 2013.

Imagine you have a table with a few rows. Each row has columns for legacy text box fields to enter a quantity and an amount. Another column contains a legacy text box field that calculates the row total by multiplying quantity * unit price. (On all fields, Calculate on exit is checked.)

Then, in the last row of the table, there is a total row.

And here is where the strange result occurs. If you define the formula on the total row as =TotalA+TotalB+TotalC or =SUM(TotalA, TotalB, TotalC), the result is exactly double what it should be (i.e. when it should be 10, it actually shows 20). However, when using =SUM(ABOVE) the result is correct.

It's not always feasible to use SUM(ABOVE) (depending on the form's design), so it's only a mediocre workaround.

Is this a bug in the product? Is there another reason the result is double?

Thanks for any ideas,

SA.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 11:52 AM PDT

My installation of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar).  Perhaps this can be best explained by three screenprints that I have posted to my home Comcast account, as in the three links below:

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013excel32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013word32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013ppt32color9.png

 

For the above three screenprints, I added a purple arrow, using MS Paint, to draw attention to the problem (see the top left of these three screenprints, where the QAT is all that is shown of the open program).

 

Following is some more information about this problem:

 

[1]  I am running Windows 7.

 

[2]  I have a Levono ThinkPad R61 laptop, which is locked into a Levono docking station, which in turn allows this laptop to provide dual monitor support.  I have two 19-inch monitors hooked to the docking station: A Samsung SyncMaster 920BM and a CTL 191LX.  The problem, when it occurs, happens on my left monitor (thus my screen-prints in the above 3 links show only my left monitor).

 

[3]  I have found a work-around to the problem: change my color settings from "True Color (32 bit)" to "High Color (16 bit).  I am actually OK with that work-around, since my loss of various graphics and Windows 7 features, due to being at 16 bit color is a minor inconvenience to me.  If I need to use "True Color (32) bit" in Windows 7, my home computer works perfectly for that.  However, a fix to the problem would be nice to have, since having the 32-bit "cool looking" enabled Windows 7 at my work, on my laptop, would be nice to have (but I could do without it and just use the less-cool 16-bit Windows 7 at work). 

 

[4]  As far as I know, my laptop does NOT have a video card in it.

 

[5]  My laptop had a dual core processor running at 2.00 GHz.  My laptop has 2GB of RAM.  My laptop has a 75 GB hard-drive that is about 75% full.

 

[6]  When my laptop is running in 32-bit color, the problem can be replicated as follows:

 

[6.1] Open Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2013 to a new blank document.  As I recall, the problem does not happen for MS Access.

 

[6.2] Maximize that document on my left monitor.

 

[6.3] Minimize the document.

 

[6.4]  On the taskbar, click on Word, Excel or PowerPoint, and the problem (ONLY the QAT showing) sometimes occurs (about 50% of the time), as in the three links above.

 

[7] My laptop has been recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and it runs pretty fast, and perfectly, except for the problem mentioned by the three links above.

 

[8]  Most of the settings for Windows 7 and Office 2013 are at their defaults - and for the few settings that I changed in Windows 7 and Office 2013, my changes were made AFTER I noticed the problem.  As I recall, the problem started happening immediately after I upgraded to Windows 7 (I had XP before), and put Office 2013 on it.

 

Note: I chose "Word" for the topic area of my post, since I use Word most often, as compared to Excel and PowerPoint.

 

ADDED TO MY ORIGNIAL POST:

 

I undocked my laptop from the docking station, and the problem still DOES happen, when in 32-bit colors.

Critical Path of the large complex project file

Posted: 07 Aug 2004 01:32 AM PDT

It is too large and complex to do what ???? 50 Resources and an estimated
duration of 1 year is not an unusually large or complex project by any
means.

The general process would be to outline the major phases or deliverables to
be created in the project and break them down further and further until you
get to the level of the individual activities or work packages that
describes a specific piece of work that must be done. If the project was to
erect an office building, for example, you would detail it down to where an
individual task might be "paint room 103." Try to keep focussed on the
specific actions that the resource will do. I suggest starting each task
name will and action verb - build, dig, polish, write, test - to help you
keep focussed on the notion that the tasks all are individual pieces of work
done by 1 resource or resource team working as a unit.

To create the deppendencies, once you have outlined the tasks and estimated
he duration of each one, look at how physical product or information flows
throught the project. If a task needs the output of a previous task in
order to proceed - we can't test a prototype until we've built the prototype
and we can't build it until we design it, for example, that describes the
predecessor/successor links.

Cost vs. client rates

Posted: 06 Aug 2004 06:20 AM PDT

We have developed a billing rates feature that plugs into
project and it works very well to accomplish exactly what
we want project for: to provide enterprise project
management.

We build each project estimate in our system. Each
estimate tells us how much our cost is, and how much we
will bill the client for each resource on each task. And
the data is timephased.

The trouble with using the cost tables A-E is that you
cannot simultaneously do math against the calculated
values resulting from each table. You can't portray both
values in the same report and do math on them
simultaneously. Well, you can, but takes programming.

As for G&A, as Steve suggests, that is accounting system
data and we do not contain that data in my EPM system.
However, because we have time-phase cost AND time-phased
billing for each project in the enterprise, my data is
that half of the company financial Proforma that provides
us with the view of exactly how much gross margin is in
the future months and then the accountant applies the G&A
section of the data. Together we get very accurate
(generally less than 5% margin of error) profit/loss
projections that go to the banks and help us to plan for
company cash flow. It works very well.

Send me an email if I can help you.

Renamed and relinked file shows old name

Posted: 06 Aug 2004 05:53 AM PDT

The name of a project is confusing, all right.

There's the filename and then there's the Project name from the properties
dialog box in the file menu. When you insert a project into a master file
or see it referred to in the task list on the consolidation that MSP builds
for resource pools, etc, the name is coming from the Project Name field, not
the filename. When you create the file, the Project name defaults to the
filename. When you subsequently change the filename from inside Project
with File, SaveAs, the project name tracks the change as well and becomes
the new filename. BUT, if you change the filename outside of Project, for
instance using file rename in Windows Explorer, the Project name in the file
properties does NOT change and remains the old filename. And just to make
it more interesting, if when you explicitly change the Project name to
override the default of the filename, that locks it in and it now will not
change when the filename changes due to a File SaveAs in Project. Once you
have entered something in that field other than the default it becomes
"sticky" and will be retained regardless of filename changes unless you
again explicitly edit the field.

More Questions

Posted: 05 Aug 2004 12:46 PM PDT

Just to further clarify the above descriptions:
Free Slack is the amount of time a task can slip and not effect any
other task.
Total Slack is the amount of time a task can slip and not effect the
end date.
Total Slack is calculated as described above. Free slack is a little
harder to describe in writing. It is the earliest Early start of the
task in question's successor tasks minus the Early Finish of the task
in question. (Pretty confusing, I know).
They are used for somewhat different purposes. Total slack tells you
how much you can either put off a task or extend it's duration without
impacting the project end date. In the real world, it is often traded
to remove Resource Overallocations or to relieve pressures elsewhere
in the schedule.
Free slack is considered usually with regard to resource scheduling.
If one task slips and forces another task(s) to slip also, even though
it doesn't effect the project end date, it forces you to reschedule
the resources on the downstream task(s). Sometimes this is easy,
sometimes nearly impossible.
These numbers help you to properly plan and execute the project and
also tell you, to some degree, how tightly scheduled your project is,
and, by inference, relative schedule risk.
Hope this helps a bit.

way to do this is to assign by groups not individuals. My thought process
is to make resources such as Engineering, Testing, QC, etc. I have a couple
of questions regarding this approach: 
the number of individuals in the Group. Such as if there are 10 Engineers
the max unit % would be 1,000?

Date format in Header

Posted: 05 Aug 2004 09:29 AM PDT

Thanks Rajkumar, I tried that but it changes the dates
displayed in the entire chart/view rather than just the
header. I'm fine with the way the date displays in the
chart body, but was trying to automate the header to show
the file saved date in a different format (i.e.
independent of the date fields within the chart).

For now, each time I save a version of the chart I
manually type in the save date in the header as "Updated 5
August, 2004". It's a little thing, but it's something I
was asked to do that should have been easy to automate
(i.e. &[Saved Date \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"]. Unless someone
knows of a way of using field switches in the header, I
guess I'm stuck typing it.

Resource cost clarification

Posted: 05 Aug 2004 08:39 AM PDT

In addition to Julie's suggestion, for resources whose total consumption is
related to the task duration, like fuel that is burned at 10 litres/hr for
the duration of the task, instead of entering total units to be used in the
resource assignment dialog box, enter the rate of usage. In my example, the
resource name would be gasoline, the type would be material, the units would
be litres, and the standard rate would be the cost/litre. When entered into
the resource assignment dialog you would put "10/hr" in the units column.
Then the total used will change as the task gets longer or shorter. Just
entering the number without the "/hr" means that number of units will be
used over the duration of the task regardless of its duration, exactly what
should happen with your pipe (to get from Here to There will require 30 feet
of pipe, 3 units, regardless of whether it takes you 4 hours or 6 hours to
install it).

Andy,

Go to Tools, then Change Working Time. Select any day that is NOT a working
day for your project (Mon-Thur) and click Nonworking Time. On the working
days select the time frame you want in From and TO areas.

Ircfast offers a download that is virus/spyware checked. That is the
service they ask money for. Alternatively, you can choose to skip the
virus/spyware rport and download free. That is what I just read on their
site, where lots of other software is offered in the same way - never
seen it before.

[discuss] integration of linguistic software with Open Office

Posted: 03 Nov 2007 11:25 PM PDT

Hi Robert,

if the translation software wanted to replicate the text structure for
the translated text it must use the API we currently have and so can
start right away. In fact I have already seen two different extensions
for translating text in OOo.

If the translation software wanted to translate "just the text" without
preserving the test structure it could use our new APIs for simplified
text access we will add together with the proof reading API.

Ciao,
Mathias

[discuss] University Project Questions

Posted: 30 Oct 2007 01:22 AM PDT

I'll not replay to your answers, because they are too "technical", and I
think we need a more politcal approach to all questions, our time is
putting out. We need one vision of things and one common purpose, not
only - and not above all - a corporation purpose or project. In every
situation, we could get common purposes and common means to get them, but
it's not enough; we need also to respect each other and to refuse every kind
of fraud and violence. Least but not last, we need to discuss together -
not to be tested by far.

Thank you very much

Franco Carletti
