Thanks again Julie! I really appreciate the input

When I looked at the message handler download site it reports that it will
work with any version of Outlook after 97 so hopefully it will. Hopefully my
client just failed to install the 2003 version of the handler.

I agree using Notes as the mail client is very trying :-) But, I have
been able to make it work (only if you install Project and MAPI before Notes
is installed)

Performing tasks seqentially

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 09:31 PM PDT

Hi Andrew,

When Project does its levelling, it ONLY DELAYS tasks until the resource
becomes available - nothing more. So, if you see a Duration of 21 days, it
is because tasks have been delayed in favour of other tasks. Remember that
the Duration of the Summary Task is the working time between the start of
the first task to the end of the last task. If you examine the Gantt Chart,
you will see gaps in this group of tasks where a task from another group has
been "given" the resource.

I thoroughly recommend you take a short introductory course on Project to
get you up and running quickly. No project management software is easy to
pick up - the more so if you're not familiar with the project management
techniques on which it is based.

In the meantime, you might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft
Project in the TechTrax ezine, particularly # , at this site:

PRJ98: Not Enough Memory Error when saving Project.

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 08:15 PM PDT

Carlo,

It doesn't matter if you use Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
Use whatever you have or whatever works on your computer. (Windows XP
may not work on the older machines ... check before upgrading.)

Re installation of Project ... well, if you don't have the right disks
to do a reinstall it will be impossible to re-install. I can't think of
a way around it. Your options are to find the right disks, or buy a new
copy of Project. You could get Project 98 used from various sources
(eBay?) or buy a newer version.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

In addition to Julie's recommendation I've used Microsoft Project
Step-by-Step as a text for my classes and find it very good for learning
from the ground up. I'd also suggest getting a copy of the guide to the
PMBOK, Project Management Body of Knwledge, published by the Project
Managemtn Institute. It doesn't teach anything about MS Project but it is a
comprehensive guide to the discipline of PM that is the basis for the way
Project functions.

Getting MS-Project's HWnd from add-in

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 05:55 PM PDT

Heh. A perfect example of NOT using what's available and thus working harder
than necessary.
Just do:
prjApplication.ScreenUpdating := False;
(see ScreenUpdating on MSDN) where prjApplication is of type _MSProject
(that's your root variable for anything Project-related, e.g.
prjApplication.ActiveProject.whatever etc., might be called a bit
differently depending on your development tool -- that's what Project VBA
calls Application, but Delphi has its own Application variable so I
renamed). Anyhow don't forget to set ScreenUpdating back to True eventually
;)

Regarding the toolbar button, I once had some crazy person simulating
pressing a button via WinAPI command (he had good reasons, long story), so
in such a case Project won't have the focus. I'm beginning to think I'd just
have to settle for FindWindow plus creating a mechanism for the user to
manually select the Project window in case something goes wrong :(

Also, Project does have Windows and Windows2 properties, but no HWnd
anywhere that I can find.

Sharing Calendars

Posted: 08 Dec 2004 05:43 AM PST

I don't think you can really do that the way you might like. For that you
may just want to set up a Calendar group on the email server that contains
all users you want to be able to access the mailbox calendar folders. Then
each user who wants to have their mailbox Calendar shared you would just have
them right click on that, select properties and then go to Permissions. They
would then add the Calendar group with rights as they would like but you
would still have to have each workstation open the particular mailbox /
calendar for every user that they might want to access their calendar. So I
guess the answer as far as I am familiar with is yes you would have to go to
each workstation. Sorry!

I have to remove two of exchange servers

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 09:53 AM PST

Here is the quick snap shot what I have here.

Old network administrator is migrated exchange 5.5 servers to a exchange
2003, all mail boxes are migrated already and exchange 2003 is the primary
exchange.

When you go to exchange system manager and expand the servers, I get an
error which states"An error occurred while retrieving the requested
information. The Microsoft Exchange Information Store is not running or the
Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not available. ID no: c103074d.
Exchange System Manager"

I do not want to have exchange 5.5 servers any more, if you go to exchange
5.5 servers and open system manager, you are able to see everything as well.
I was asked to retire the exchange servers, they are causing problems, and
such as outlook web access is not working. I am not the one who has done the
migration, but I have to clean it up a little bit.

I am able to understand actually all the notes from Microsoft; the thing is
I have never done it. Old exchange servers are still replication; I know I
have to stop replication, so I can remove them.

Incoming Emails from specific domains take a long time to be received.

Posted: 01 Dec 2004 12:36 PM PST

Hello,


I would appreciate it if anybody can help me figure what could be
causing the two major problems that we are facing, and if there is
anything that I can do from my end to fix the issues:


Environment:


We are running Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 on a Win NT 4 (SP6) OS. OWA and
IIS are also running on the same machine. We also have an internal DNS
server (Windows 2000 Server OS) running in our LAN.


Problem #1;


We recently started receiving System Administrator Messages for every
Outgoing email (that is sent to an internet email addresses); the text
in the System Admin messages is shown below:



__________________________________________________ _____________________________
From: System Administrator
Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 4:38 PM
To: Pkm Reddy (edu)
Subject: Undeliverable: test6


Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.


Subject: test6
Sent: 11/23/2004 4:37 PM


The following recipient(s) could not be reached:


Pkm Reddy (edu) on 11/23/2004 4:38 PM
Unable to deliver the message due to a communications
failure


The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=US;a=

MSEXCH:IMS:iS3C:S3C:ABBEY 3902 (000B09B6) Host Unknown


__________________________________________________ _____________________________
Workaround thus far: If the Exchange Services or the server is
restarted, then this problem goes away for several hours and then
starts ocurring again. Please let me know if there is a permanent fix
for this, as this is the first time this is happening since we
installed the Exchange server over 4 years ago.


Problem #2:


Incoming emails that come from a few selected domains sometimes take
4-6 hours to be received by our users. For Example: if com
sends a message to com, it takes several hours for
the email to finally be delivered to com. Again,
this problem only started happening recently. I can't seem to
understand why this problem only occurs with a few selected domains as
emails from any other domain only takes a 1-2 minutes (max) to arrive
in our users' mailboxes. Please help me to figure what could be
causing this problem and if there is anything that I need to do on our
server.


Hope to hear from anyone soon.


Thank you,

How to show two non-consecutive pages in Word

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 01:53 AM PDT

I've just moved from my beloved, highly customised, word 2002 to word 2013 (on Windows 7).  In 2002 I was able to split the document window horizontally into two panes, and then control each pane separately.  When working on a large document, I could display two non-consecutive parts of that document at once.  This made cutting and pasting, and task such as checking on style consistency across my document, amongst other things, very easy.  Is this still possible in 2013?  I've looked all over the place, plus searched the help files and the internet, but can find nothing.  If this is no longer available, has something replaced this functionality.  Thanks...

Hiding format differences when printing merged documents generated by "compare" function

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 08:35 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2010.  I use "Compare," under the Review tab, to generate merged documents to allow me to compare edits in technical documents of some length.  It is important that I be able to exclude formatting changes from this comparison, as they are numerous and clutter the output to the point where it ceases to be useful.  An inability to print useful versions of these merged documents is very troublesome.

 

Under View tab, I have selected "Print Layout."  In the Review tab, under Show Markup, I unchecked "Formatting."  The display is correct (i.e., does not include format changes) as is the "Print Preview" display.  However, the printed copy includes all formatting changes.  This happens when I print to pdf as well.

 

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

How to insert text outside margins

Posted: 28 Jun 2013 08:10 PM PDT

My wife is including a children's book she's written in her thesis.  Page layout for the book is landscape, the thesis format is portrait.  I've got the book margins set and have inserted her pages as JPEG images.  The reader can turn the thesis sideways and read the children's book; then turn the book back when resuming the thesis material.  All is fine so far.  Nest, I need to insert thesis page numbers within the standard thesis margins (which, of course, are outside the landscape page margins). 

I will have to do the same thing with some Excel charts (that is, mix landscape and portrait page layouts, but keep page numbers in the upper right hand corner of all pages when the thesis is held in a "portrait position."

How can I accomplish this?

Are the Office 2008 fonts required

Posted: 29 Jan 2008 09:09 AM PST

Yeah, you can :-)

Personally, I WOULD/DID install the Office fonts, because they are much
updated and a lot nicer than many other fonts around. Microsoft actually
put some work into these, the typography is much improved.

They also provide a much wider range of characters than the ones they
replace.

And when you get into Themes, they won't work "properly" unless the Office
fonts are available.

The issues we are seeing with fonts tend to be with fonts from other
manufacturers, and they usually turn out to be issues with people using a
very large number of fonts, several font managers, and dynamically
enabling/disabling fonts that are scattered across multiple font folders.

Office 2008 works best if all of your fonts are in the System font folder.

But if you really do not like the new fonts, you don't have to have them.
They are nice, but not essential.

I would caution you not to disable the Chinese/Japanese fonts. These are
required to produce certain special characters (and I can't remember which
ones).

Hope this helps

Problem registering Office:mac 2008

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 12:43 PM PST

Same answer: Don't bother. Registration is broken. It will be fixed
eventually.

But its ONLY purpose is to sign you up for a newsletter, so you may decide
not to bother :-)

Thanks for the kind words. 

Yes with the exception if Leopard preferences are munged due to the way it
was installed and data migrated over.

Frequent Crashes for All Office 2008 Apps

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 11:38 AM PST

Hi Clare:

Just scanning your crash dump, that's either a bad font or a bad document.

My pick is a bad document. You see all those calls to the Style List, then
a call to ATSUI?

Word is attempting to enumerate the styles in the document, then falling
over.

I would:

1) Quite all Microsoft applications

2) Find and remove to the desktop ALL instances of the Normal template that
you can find.

The Word 2004/X Normal template is named simply "Normal" (no extension) and
it should be in your Microsoft User Data folder (unless you moved it).

The Word 2008 version is named "Normal.dotm" and the easy way to find it is
to go to Word>Preferences>File Locations. Select "User Templates" and then
click Modify. Word will show you where it is (drop down the arrow...)

3) Restart Word, and quit it. It should create a new, clean Normal.

4) Start Word and open one of your bad files.

5) Create a new, blank document and save it as a "Word Document (.dotx)
file.

6) Carefully copy everything in the bad document EXCEPT the very last
paragraph mark.

7) Paste into the new document and Save.

Try that, and see if it cures the problem. If it does, you need to do 5 to
7 on each of your troublesome documents.

Hope this helps

Microsoft promises fix for Office 2008 installation issues

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 07:01 AM PST

Would be nice, wouldn't it :-)

They are working furiously on this one :-) The constraint is that Office
2008/Entourage now uses Synch Services.

If Synch Services every plays nicely with Palm, the Office synching should
"just work" ...

Cheers

ARCHIVE OR Zip Files

Posted: 27 Jan 2008 07:29 PM PST

Well, I am glad they sent you here where you can talk to people who know the
right answer!

The Mac "Archive" format IS a Zip file.

There is an issue with some Windows computer mailing systems not allowing
the newest Mac file formats (created by Microsoft!!!) through their email.
Particularly not if they try to open them within the mail program.

You need to advise the Windows users to save the file to their hard disk
before trying to open them. They should be doing this anyway: they're a
sitting duck for viruses and malware on Windows if they don't...

Or: Save the file to a shared folder on the Network file server, then tell
them where it is... Saves clagging up the email system with it :-)

But generally, there is no "compatibility" issue with the file format in
terms of Windows being able to read it ‹ it's a universal standard format.

There is, however, a raft of compatibility issues between Office 2007 and
Office 2008. Sadly, Office 2008 just can't cope with many of the things
Office 2007 can create, and it down-converts others to a simpler format,
which breaks it when it gets back to Office 2007.

If you stick to text content (text, tables, text boxes, formatting...) you
will be OK. Once either end starts trying to use the high-end features, the
wheels fall off.

Sadly, you will just have to try it: you will soon find out what is
compatible and what isn't. Any kind of graphics content is likely to be a
problem...

Hope this helps

Office 2008 - Drop Shadows?

Posted: 27 Jan 2008 02:54 PM PST

You need to make sure the picture style is set to anything but ³inline with
text² in the ³Wrapping² section of the Formatting palette. Then you¹ll have
a ³Shadow² section in the Formatting Palette.

Hi,
if it is just flyers posters etc you need to create try Pages - part
of iwork, it does all that very well, and in very inexpensive (less
than windows+vm/parallels+publisher!).

Also, there are many fine free DTP apps for mac. Have a look at the
apple website (downloads), or somewhere like www.pure-mac.com or
http://www.freemacware.com or http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps/cats.php
for free software. Some of this software is extremely good, so dont
ignore it just because its free!

Best of luck.

What is Office 2008??

Posted: 27 Jan 2008 01:39 PM PST

Office 2008 does not contain a VBA interpreter. So "no" nothing that looks
like, smells like, or even sounds like VBA will work.

But why would you delete Office 2008, now that you have paid for it? Unless
you can get your money back :-)

It may be useful for reading the new file formats you will start to get from
others.

Cheers

Internet connectivity error in word

Same problem here.
I can access any web services with word and entourage (dictionary, web

What happened to the "Versions" feature in Word?

Dear John,

Thanks so much for this reply. Guess I'll have to just save versions in different files from now on. I appreciate your help.

Yours is the only report of this issue I have seen so far, and I am afraid I
do not have an answer for it.

Sorry...

Make Word 2008 open with Formatting toolbar showing

Know what? Word was crashing every time I quit. That¹s got to be why. I

Thanks very much for this and all the other support you provide.

2004 with 2008?

Posted: 26 Jan 2008 09:07 AM PST

John,

Many thanks. The others have done a great job in scaring me off deleting anything and I'll leave it like that! For now Word and Excel 2008 seem to be co-operating very nicely with Entourage 2004, and as the disk overhead is minimal I'll leave 2004 well alone.

Thanks again.

Cannot Open any Applics after 2004 Install

Posted: 26 Jan 2008 04:36 AM PST

Hi Duncan:

Best not to do that. The deafening silence in here is because you have run
us all out of ideas ‹ including Curt, who is one of the Microsoft Engineers
who developed Office 2008.

However, Curt is slaving over a hot Macintosh as we speak, and he will get
back to you quite soon.

In the meantime, if you can keep everything to do with your matter in the
same thread, that will help make sure we do not miss anything.

Sorry for your bad experience...

Lost fonts in Office 2008

Posted: 25 Jan 2008 10:32 AM PST

I suggest that you should put it only in ONE folder :-) You are making the
job difficult for the system by putting the same font in multiple folders.

I assume that you have made sure that the font is REMOVED from the "Fonts
Disabled" folders? If it's in two places, the "Fonts Disabled" lists
override the "Fonts" lists.

And Diane is correct: you need to reboot to rebuild the font caches.

Cheers
