The last reasonably priced tool I used that supported AOA was MicroPlanner
Manager.

Search Google you'll get a few hits and can download something.


Scitor (under their new name which I can't come up with at the moment) may
have a tool that supports it. Otherwise, you'll have to spend a bunch of
money on Primavera or other high end tool

I'm curious. Why?

removing project 4.1 from my system

Posted: 11 Aug 2004 10:51 AM PDT


Michael,
It sounds like you need to do some housecleaning and get rid of all
those .jpg and .mov files you've been downloading :-) Seriously though,
burn some CDs or DVDs and you can probably save a bunch of hard drive
space.

Schedule task to complete before milestone

Posted: 11 Aug 2004 09:23 AM PDT


John,
There are various ways to do what you need. One way is to use a
start-to-start link with a lead of -8w (i.e. xSS-8w). Another is to use
a start-to-finish link with a lead of -2w (i.e. xSF-2W).

Hope this helps.

Felicity,
Fine, all you should need in the mock file is dummy tasks arranged in
the same structure (hierarchy) as the real file and dummy resources
assigned in the same way. Resource rates can be $0 and you do not need
to set a baseline. I you want I can send you a macro that will do the
above to your real file. You can also get a similar macro from Jack
Dahlgren's website at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
Jack's macro is called "Scrub". My macro goes a littler farther in
removing sensitive information but both macros should work for you.

Help w MS Project 03

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 05:51 PM PDT

As usual, I agree with Steve about most of what he said. I don't think
setting up project is quite that easy. I think there are several traps
one needs to avoid to get it to operate effectively, and that it can
take a very long time (read years) to figure them out yourself.

But scheduling software is just the beginning. To paraphrase Lewis
("Project Planning, Scheduling & Control"), using scheduling software
without an understanding of Project Management will assure an
organization will precisely and accurately document it's failures. I
have witnessed this more times than I care to remember. It's wise to
get a good consultant who can help you on an ongoing basis, not just
with setting up Project, but with helping you understand how to get
meaningful input (the old data processing concept, GIGO, garbage in,
garbage out, applies here as well) and to interpret the output and put
it to good use. Contrary to popular belief, using scheduling software
by itself is not practicing Project Management. To a degree, it can be
acquired by experience, but at tremendous cost and time. Courses help,
but still can't replicate experience. You really need to find someone
good to get you started and keep you on the correct path.
That said, you have to be careful that you find someone who really
knows Project Management. I've followed on the heels of PM consultants
who've told clients that Network Diagrams are a waste of time, a tool
that I believe is essential to getting schedules properly linked. Like
in most professions, there are a few who are really good, and the
rest. You want one of the really good ones.
Hope this helps you along.

Bug Tracking integration with MS Project Server

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 03:36 PM PDT

Like Jack, my hunch is that you should use one of the real bug tracking
tools. There are many fine products available at costs ranging from
zero to more than that.

Why do you need all this "minute" detail in a project plan? What are
you trying to achieve? What happens if this "minute" tasks are not
"managed" in this way?

I can see, potentially, value in doing some sort of query on the bug
tracking db to track status/forecast of fixing the flaws that could be a
"few" (or one) line in a project plan in Project; but for beyond that I
guess I'd need to know more of your objectives before believing that you
shouldn't be using a tool more fit for your purpose.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Act. Cost & Work imports alter prior historical import values

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 01:11 PM PDT

Geoff,
Thanks for your reply. I am importing Actual Work and
Actual Cost to a 'task' using the WBS for merge key. The
task is 10d duration over 3 weeks with different work
(hours) in each week. Upon import, Project parses the
imported Actual Work over the task's scheduled weeks from
start to the current status date (not just in the desired
week) for all the hours imported. It parses the hours up
to the amount in the Work (or Baseline Work) field for
that week, then does the same in the next week, etc.,
until the import value has been used up. This undesirably
replaces prior import values with potentially new values.
So my problem is how to import these items into specific
weeks for the task, rather than as a cumulative value.
When you say "granular enough, date wise, to relate to the
time period", how do i relate the import to a specific
date period for the task? The timescale is in weeks, but
that is just a 'View' choice.
At the same time, I am also importing Actual Cost, which
works if you clear Options/Calculation/'Actual costs are
always calculated by Microsoft Project' box, but also has
the same above problem.
Thank you for the advice,
Steve T/BAE Systems

Resource Information and Groups

Posted: 09 Aug 2004 06:54 PM PDT

Yes, you go to the usage view and double click beside the resource/task name
to see assignment details. On the dialog box that opens you'll see a field
where you can specify which rate table applies to that resource/task
combination. Here's a problem I forsee though. Suppose you have two
resources from your group on the same task, ie, the assignment is "Ajax,
200%" and one of them gets the rate in table A and the other in table B.
You'll have to choose one or the other as there's no way to split them up
and have both tables apply 50/50.

Actually many people try to claim that, i don't. I claim it is better in
many ways. If it trieds to duplicate Microsoft office it would always be
an also-ran.
 

And being aware of your immediate problem i suggested a solution to
that.
 

First of all, i am not OpenOffice, as far as i am aware openoffice is a
company in holland that makes the excellent bluefish html editor.
Neither am i an employee of OpenOffice.org or even a representative of
OpenOffice.org. I am a bloke on the end of a computer that saw you had a
problem (you asked for help on an open mailing list that anyone can
join) and suggested an alternative that you may not have previously
thought of. As a web author the way i see it the sooner that all
companies realise they are working in the global village environment and
start talking the global language to each other the better. There, you
made me explain my intentions. Are they as you read them?

As for the rest of your sentence. I honestly don't know whos pulling a
Cartman here ("Screw you guys, i'm going home").
 

It is not an "in one's face" bug. It is actually the first time i have
heard of it on this list, and i have been _contributing_ to
this list, somewhat sporadically, for a few of years now. Not only
that, but i see the issue only has one vote, and that one vote (probably
not yours) is hardly likely to get a fix timetabled real soon. The issue
IS however maked P3, which means:
"P3 marks non-trivial problems which probably affect a noticeable number
of users. Issues with this priority must be fixed before the target
release (see Target milestone) Not fixing them for the target release
must be justified by a superordinate rule."

Your company has made the decision to adopt a proprietary closed source
office suite. The save format of this office suite is also closed. The
only way OpenOffice.org has any compatability at all with .DOC format is
by reverse engineering it. I could make an arguement that would hold
water in a court of law that says the problem is either Microsofts or
"Yours" because you were foolish enough to adopt a closed environment in
the first instance!

If your company and others was prepared to front up even some of the
money they have paid for Microsoft Office licences over the last 5 years
you could probably get anything fixed you damn well like. All i have
seen at present is a whinge followed by escalating abuse.

Did you actually expect me to answer saying "Yes sir based on your
contribution of, let's see, NOTHING, we will fix this for you straight
away". Stop throwing the teddy out of the crib.

The biggest problem I have found with the Thunderbird/OOo

the user to keep two address books up to date. My other main
gripe is a minor detail; when printing the address book, neither
Windows not Thunderbird will allow the output to be formatted so
that the data for each contact is kept together instead of
running over onto the next page. Tighter integration between the

If it was easy to define what is the non-intuitive part of OOo's
envelope functionality and how to solve that I would be glad to do it.

But my experience with envelopes is that basically using this function
is not hard to understand, but the problems start when you have to print
it. If you are lucky and your printer does what OOo thinks it should do
envelopes are an easy task.
 

What frustrates me is that each time I helped someone with envelopes and
asked him how we could change the function to make it easier, nobody was
able to give me a hint. So I don't have high hopes that this will be
different in case of those people who complained in issues, mails and
forum postings over the years.

Nevertheless I started to collect the relevant issues some time ago but
was disrupted by some more urgent tasks. As I also don't participate in
Web forums I would be very pleased if someone else could create a list
of complaints and problems (what was found irritating, how often, how
many votes and duplicates, which improvement suggestions etc.) so that
we could try to consolidate that into a single issue.

I tend to believe that the problem isn't the UI but the printing.
 

This would be my approach also though experience tells us that in case
you don't have a superior idea it's better not to be too different from
Word. Repelling former Word users without attracting others by superior
(not only different) design is a bad strategy. Or in a single sentence:
try to be better if you can, but don't try to be different "just because".

It is important to check the cursor position inside the selection. You
have to enter the relative addresses in your formula according to this
cursor position. If you select A1:B12 with mouse or keyboard, starting
from A1, the cursor will usually be located in cell B12. So, the address
$A1 entered in cell B12 will result in "column A, 11 rows to top" (row
12 to row 1). This results in an invalid reference in the rows 1 to 11.

To solve your problem: You can move the cell cursor with the TAB key to
cell A1 before you open the dialog, or you can enter the formula using
"$A12" and "$B12" instead of $A1 and $B1, when the cursor is located in B12.

"Microsoft Office Word Has Stopped Working"...

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:31 AM PDT

I'm at a loss...

This is a Word issue.  I'm running Office 2003 under Windows 7 Pro (32-bit).  This has "suddenly" (just begun) to occur and I haven't done anything extraordinary.

When in Word (2003/SP3) whenever I either (1) scroll with the scroll wheel on my mouse (2) scroll with the scroll bar at the right of the window or (3) cursor down/enter more than a page of text, Word crashes with a "Microsoft Office Word Has Stopped Working" message/crash along with "investigating"(?) for an (unattainable?) solution.  I'll get a recovery/restart of Word but the problem consistently persists with subsequent attempts.  This occurs with old documents and also when creating a document more than a page view in length.  Let me restate that another way:  When in a new document and creating "line by line entry", when the screen/view moves/shifts/scrolls (automatically with data entry), Word crashes.  Again, it does this with old docs.

Quite a (new) problem; makes it tough to navigate in any document of length!  

Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Again, I haven't consciously changed anything.  (Note I do use Word as my editor within Outlook if that matters; I've done a comprehensive virus scan that shows no infection...)

Thanks for your help.

This sounds to me like you are running on a G4 or 5, and not an Intel

I would recommend no less than 2GB RAM and at least 25% of the boot drive
free. Less than these values is likely to cause the performance and repaint

I went thru and deleted everything Microsoft. The locations were at the hard drive level\Library\Application Support & Preferences. Also went in (as described by Dalya) the User\Library\Prefs and found any MS folders. Also deleted all the plist files in the User\Library folder. That seemed to do the trick. Be sure to make an archive of all your emails, calendar dates, address book entries, etc in Entourage. You will import that into the new install.

It might be overkill to delete all this but it worked for me.

Error uploading Office after upgrading to Leopard

Posted: 21 Jan 2008 06:37 PM PST

Just to more explicitly make one point: If you reinstalled Office X or 2004
you will also need to apply the updates for *it* before it will run. If X
you need 10.1.9 or for 2004 you'll need 11.3.5 through 11.3.9 applies in
order to get up & running. [When you reinstalled to reverted to 10.0/11.0
which is what resulted in the Framework error.]

Changing Normal Document

Posted: 21 Jan 2008 06:28 PM PST

Did you read the part where I said that was a bad idea? A Normal
template that you have created yourself does not have all the features
of a Normal template created by Word.

I suggested two methods to change the existing Normal template.

Can't select the graph colours I want

I had to repair my version of Word 365 and now when I copy a graph from excel to word the colour changes.  Any bars/lines that were red, accent 2 in excel become orange, accent 2 in word and I cannot for the life of me see a way to change it back!  Everything was fine before I repaired.  Even when I highlight the graph in word and go to CHART TOOLS, DESIGN, CHANGE COLOR, there is no colour scheme available with Red, accent 2!

How to get a little space between items in list?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 05:13 PM PDT

I have two lists in my document, one bulleted and the other numbered, and I would like a little bit of space between each item in each list - maybe 4 points, 6 points at most. However, when I try to achieve this via the 'Space After' and 'Space Before' spinners in the Paragraph dialog (assuming, quite naturally, that each list item is a paragraph since it ends with a carriage return (pilcrows show up after each one when I click on the 'Show paragraphs etc.' button), Word just ignores me. And I can find nothing in the 'Create a list' button dialogs that addresses the question, either.

Thanks for you help,

How can I get an unnumbered heading into my Document Map?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 05:02 PM PDT

The headings in the book I'm just about finished writing are numbered 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. Thanks to recent help from Suzanne Barnhill they work correctly all the way through 1.1.1.1, which is all I have or want. They all appear in my Document Map, and all are indented appropriately, i.e. with each level starting just to the right of the heading type above it. But now I want two more headings to appear in my Document Map: One for the Glossary and one for the References  section. I want them to appear in the correct order (namely Glossary after the last numbered heading, and References below that, which is where they in fact reside in the document), but I do not want them to have numbers by them since they're not part of the document proper.

I can add new headings (based on an un-used heading that give a new name to and save), and they look fine but they do not appear in the Document Map. If I do select these headings in the document, and declare them to be Heading 1, they appear exactly where they should be in the Document Map, but with the pesky numbers attached to them. Then when I re-assign them to my numberless heading, they disappear from the Document Map.

What to do?

Thanks for your help,

Peyton

Dual Figure/Table Autonumbering

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 10:16 PM PDT

Advice please!
The document requires figures and tables in the main document to be numbered in the usual manner, i.e. Table 1, Figure 1, etc, but tables and figures in the attachments—which are part of the main Word document—be numbered e.g. Table A-1.1 (the first table in Attachment 1), Figure A-2.2 (the second figure in Attachment 2) , etc. Is this possible? If yes, please advise how one can achieve this. Also, how can one incorporate the attachment number in the table/figure number? The standard method seems to allow the inclusion of heading numbers only.

blank pages appearing as page numbers added to document

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:30 AM PDT

I am trying to build a document with: Front Matter consisting of a Cover, Table of Contents and a List Of Figures using Word 2010 running under Win7. This is followed by about 60 pages of text (with Chapter headings) and figures(actually pictures). Front Matter uses the iii form of page number and the Text/Figures uses the 1,2,3 form of page number. All works fine except for Word adding several "blank" pages after the Front Matter. Something I am forgetting or doing wrong must be causing this. Here is what I do:

  • Use INSERT tab to add two blank pages in front of the text for the TOC and the LOF
  • Precede each chapter header with Word's Header1, Header2, Header3 Styles
  • Precede each Figure with Header5 Style
  • Put a Section Break(next page) immediately before the 1st character of the text to seperate the Front Matter from the Text/Figures
  • Delink Section 1 and Section 2, close Headers and Footers
  • Scroll to the 1st blank page
  • Position the cursor in about the middle of this page
  • Select the REFERENCES Tab
  • Click the Table of Contents icon producing the TOC on the 1st page
  • Scroll to the next blank page 
  • Position the cursor in about the middle of this page
  • Under the REFERENCES Tab click the List of Figures icon
  • Using OPTIONS under List of Figures specify to Word that the Header5 style is used for figures
  • Clicking OK twice produces the List of Figures
  • Scroll to 1st page of text
  • Open Headers and Footers and select Page numbers, specify that 1,2,3 type should be placed in center top of page, start at 1
  • Scroll to TOC
  • Open Headers and Footers and select Page Numbers, specify that iii type be placed at center top of page, start at i
  • Close Headers and Footers 
  • Click the Cover Page icon under the INSERT tab

BUT SOMEHOW TWO BLANK PAGES HAVE BEEN ADDED FOLLOWING THE LOF. These pages don't seem to be DELETEable

 

Can anyone tell me what I have omitted or not done?

replacing resources across multiple tasks and projects

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 10:12 AM PDT

This is one excellent use of the Resource Assignment box. On the
standard toolbar is a tool with 2 human heads on it. Click on that,
and the Resource Assignment box appears. Select all tasks with the
resource you want to replace assigned to them (if there are a lot,
apply the "using resource" filer). Select as many of these as you can
(this will be limited by available memory, so closing other apps may
help do more at once). Select the resource's name in the Resource
Assignment box, the click on the "Replace" button. A dialog box will
appear, with the same list of resources you just had in the Resource
Assignment box. Select the resource you want to replace the other
with. Click OK.
One of the nice parts of using this method is that any partial
assignments on the original resource will be replicated for the
replacement resource.
Best of luck.

Filtering for Critical Path of Specific Task

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 08:20 AM PDT

You have several problems. A major one, IMHO, is your use of Must Finish
On constraints for your key deliverables. A constraint in the scheduling
engine is not the same thing as a constraint in the world of your project.
You are using Must Finish On to mean "this is when we have to have this done
by or we are in deep trouble" but that's NOT what a constraint means in
Project. To Project, a "constraint" means that this task will ALWAYS be
shown happening per the constraint, even if it is physically impossible for
it do do so according to the durations and links of the preceeding tasks.
Consider task A and B, each 5 days duration, starting next Monday. That
task sequence will finish 10 days later. They lead to a finish milestone.
Simple FS links A->b->Finish. If I put a MFO constraint on the milestone of
1 September, indicating that's when the contract says we have to finish,
guess what Project shows? It shows task A running from 16 Aug to 20 Aug,
task B from 23 Aug to 27 Aug and then a gap until the milestone occurs,
scheduled on 01 Sep. But when did the milestone REALLY occur? 27 Aug!
Using the constraint caused the milestone to be shown occuring at a date
that is patently in error. So we take another tack. Let's put a Must
Finish No Later Than constraint of 01 Sep on it instead. Now Project shows
the milestone occuring 27 Aug, the correct date. But we still have a
problem. We blew it and task B was grossly under-estimated and actually
takes 10 days instead of 5. Now task B finishes on 03 Sep. But wait,
looking at our milestone it shows finishing the project 01 Sep, right on
schedule!!!!! Again, obviously an error - we CAN'T be finishing on time
because the predecessor that MUST be finished for us to really be done with
all the work actually isn't finished until 2 days later!

A second problem is the use of the term "critical path." It seems like you
are using the term to mean "the important task sequence for producing a
deliverable." But that's not it. As Project (and CPM in general) uses the
term, the critical path is the sequence of events that determines the
overall duration of the entire project. There is no such thing as a
"critical path to a deliverable" unless that particular deliverable just
happens to lie on the critical path of events to the end of the project.
There may be lots of deliverables in a project whose delay to some extent
would not result in a delay of the overall completion of the project and by
definition they are not critical. For instance, I have an application
development project that requires 1 month design, 4 months programming and
testing, and 1 month rollout. I can write the user's manual any time after
design is done because at that point the functionality is locked down and
the programmers write to the design specs. Training is a part of rollout
and I won't actually use the user's manual until we begin training. Writing
the manual is not a critical task or deliverable, even though it's really
really really important, unless it's delayed into the 6th month and the
delay causes training and thus completion of rollout to be delayed,. It is
not a critical deliverable, does not lie on the critical path, and there is
no critical path leading up to it UNLESS it gets delayed more than 4 months
from when it could have been started. At that point, its schedule becomes
the determining factor in the date of the conclusion of all the project work
and so it becomes critical and the critical path shifts to include the
sequence leading to and from it.

Over-allocation indicator - for specific task duration.

Posted: 09 Aug 2004 11:31 PM PDT

Hi Steve and thanks for response!

There is no importance which task was 'first' - if there is an
over-allocation on specific day - all tasks that take place in that place are
'suspicious' - and I want them to be marked (by the indicator field for
example).

My problem is to recognize onle these tasks that 'involved' in the
over-allocation.

Calendar and Change Working Time (Use default)

Posted: 07 Aug 2004 10:15 AM PDT

Use set the "default" start and end times on the Tools, Options, Calendar
page. Those defaults do NOT change anything in the working times calendar
or modify its defaults. In fact, nothing on that entire page has any effect
on the working time calendar at all, contrary to what the names of the
fields appear to indicate.

Here's what it does do. First of all, make note that ALL date fields are
actually date/time fields. You may choose whether to display the times or
not but they're always going to be there. When you enter a task name and
duration, normally Project calculates its start and end date/time for you
based on the Project calendar, predecessor relationships, and resource
availability. But you may, for some particular reason, wish to set a
constraint on the task and one easy way to do it is to over-ride the
calculated start or end date with your own entry (and that's the only time
you should EVER enter something in those two columns). If you enter
something in the Start field, Project sets a Start No Earlier Than
constraint of the date you entered. But it also needs to know what time to
include in that entry as well. If you click in the Start field and select a
date from the little popup calendar, it uses your Project Calendar's working
hours to determine what time on the selected date to use. But if you
manually type in the date without explicitly including a time in your entry,
it uses whatever you've set as the "Default Start Time" on the calendar
options page.
