Uh-oh, hard drive migration snafu Posted: 25 Sep 2004 02:10 PM PDT Anonymous Sender wrote:  When you started copying whole partitions with dd, you were copying them byte for byte including the filesystem metadata. IOW, your filesystems on the new disk are now the same size as the ones on the old disk. Your larger partitions won't have access to the extra space. Moreover, since you state that you mounted the new partitions, I presume you had already created filesystems on them, which were overwritten with the smaller filesystems from the older drives. Then when you shutdown with the power button, things were probably in a wildly inconsistent state. Who knows what happened with the partitions on /dev/hdb.   See the "Hard Disk Upgrade HOWTO" at http://www.tldp.org/

install networking question Posted: 24 Sep 2004 09:15 PM PDT On Sat, 25 Sep 2004 17:19:35 -0700, Dcrusoe wrote:   Thank you!   <snip>  The fact that the W98 boxes cannot ping the XP box may be significant. It could be the XP box is running a software firewall to ignore incoming pings. I am not running XP, so I can't really advise you about how to disable it. To try to debug this problem, you could connect your linux box to the Netgear switch (unplug a W98 box temporarily) and see if you can ping the W98 boxes from there. If you can ping the other boxes, then that probably means there is something that is not configured correctly on the Netgear router (or some other problem with that segment)- but you would be isolating the problem somewhat. Also, when you have restarted your linux box when connected to the network switch run these commands: # route -n # ifconfig And post the model numbers of the Netgear devices. -- Dallas: What are my chances? http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/quotes

Is there a reference table somewhere, showing Word Options in "User" Language, and their matching VBasic syntax? Posted: 14 Jul 2013 08:29 AM PDT  Is there a reference  table, somewhere, that shows...   Column A                                      Column B All Word Options Settings,           All Word Options Settings, in User Language                          in VBasic Language   ....to help me, and other macro author wannabes, who need to learn how to use these?

I was working in Microsoft Word 2010 and three pages of text disappeared. I had saved periodically. Where might it be? Posted: 14 Jul 2013 06:08 AM PDT I was typing a document and I was on the third page.  I was almost done when I looked up and the entire document was gone.  I had saved periodically so I believe it can be retrieved somewhere.  When I open the document, there is no text, but the computer is telling me that the size of it is still 14 KB.  Suggestions?

Zoom syncs even when synchronous scrolling off Posted: 13 Jul 2013 04:52 PM PDT At times I need to view one part of a document while working on another part. It's simple enough to select View | New Window and then View | Side by Side, then click on Synchronous Scrolling to turn it off. So far, so good. Then, I reduce the zoom size of the part I'm referencing and magnify the zoom size of the window I'm editing. That's where Word 365 has an issue. Even though I've turned synchronous scrolling off, both windows zoom simultaneously.   I have not yet been able to have the windows zoom independently. How does one go about this?

Change default margins in Word 2007 Posted: 13 Jul 2013 04:18 PM PDT The default margins for everything in Word 2007 seems to be 1" X 1" X 1" X1".  I use margins of .75" X .75" X .75" X .75" for everything.  I don't care how many times I have set them using custom margins  when I start a new document the custom margins has been reset to the same default measurements.  Is there any way at all to change that default setting or to make the custom margins setting retain the settings I use.  I have Windows 7 Home Premium and this problem just started a couple of weeks ago.  I've tried running a repair cycle - that didn't work.  I reinstalled Office - that didn't work either.  I shouldn't have to reset my margins for every document I open since that's supposed to be what the "Last Custom Setting" under Margins is for.  But now I have to reset all four sides every time I start a new document. I hope someone can help me with this.  It at all possible I would prefer to be able to set the default margins to the ones I use.

Final--Final--FINAL: How to Insert Page Numbers on Word 2010 Posted: 13 Jul 2013 05:10 AM PDT I have wasted more hours and blood pressure on this subject than a rational human should ever have wasted. If I had not paid for Office 2010 specifically for Word, and if I did not have documents in need of easy pagination, I'd have spent my time in other ways. I finally settled for the (non) answer of opening documents in .DOC mode and saving them as .DOCX.   I now need to paginate another document, using both roman numerals and page numbers. I thought I would post this question a final time, because the insult of "fields" and other arcana, when pagination used to be as easy as clicking Insert and Page Number, is too much. If there has been any fix that would allow a user of normal intelligence and twenty years' Word experience to insert a page number in a document and not have to spend more than an hour [sic] getting the page number to mirror on verso and recto, I would like to hear it here.   Thank you.

How do I make a "cent" symbol? Posted: 12 Jul 2013 12:46 PM PDT How do I make a "cent" symbol?

MULTILEVEL LIST FUNCTION IS SUDDENLY NOT WORKING Posted: 12 Jul 2013 09:20 AM PDT I use bullets and the multilevel list function often. All of a sudden it is not working. I assume I mistakenly changed a setting somewhere. Help Please!

Office 2010 Formatting changes not being displayed Posted: 10 Jul 2013 08:36 AM PDT I have a user that is having an issue across all Office 2010 (32 bit) applications. Whenever he tries to make any updates to his formatting in any excel/word document, the changes are not displayed on screen (font color change or adding/removing borders to tables).  When I make a couple formatting changes and print the file, the print does not contain the formatting changes. But if he saves and emails the file to anyone else, the changes appear correctly on another system.  I have already tried to repair and re-install Office, delete user profile but the issue persists. Is there anything else specific I should be trying? Thanks, Ravi

Spreadsheet Problem for Works Posted: 20 Mar 2005 07:49 AM PST Thank you but I am looking for a way to do it without any formula changes after the initial setup. I just want to insert a new row or rows and the total will adjust itself. Example with 5 item running average, item1 item2 item3 .... item10 average of 1-10 average of 6-10 Now I add item 11 item1 item2 item3 .... item10 item11 average of 1-11 average of 7-11 What I need is a way to dynamically change the range using a formula.

Help Required Posted: 19 Mar 2005 06:19 AM PST Hi Andy, Perhaps, Install WORD word processor separately, then Activate it. 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs. 2. Select Works Suite 2005 from the Currently installed programs list. You may then select to "CHANGE or REMOVE" the installation. Choose CHANGE. Proceed to install WORD and the WORD in Works Add-In. To re/install the Word in Works Suite Add-in: 1. Place the Works Suite Disc 1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. 2. Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop. 3. Right-click the CD-ROM drive icon, and then click Explore. 4. In the left pane, double-click the WordAdd folder. 5. In the right pane, double click Setup.exe. 6. Follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall the Word in Works Suite Add-in.

VLookup Posted: 12 Mar 2005 04:25 PM PST Thanks Kevin, I'll print out your response and work through it. I have been using Excel 97, but because of the problem exchanging data between works and excel, thought I would try to stay in works. The formula works fine in excel (with a few nomenclature changes) When pasting data from DB to SS in works there is no option to paste as "Text" as in excel. The only option one has is "paste as values" exactly what I do <not> want :( Thanks for your extended reply "Kevin James - MSMVP Works" <org> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... | Hi Rodney, | | I'll try and capture the essence, but don't quote me. :-) | | VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP operate best with (ascendingly) | ordered lists. | | Your formula (algorithm) operates in the following manner: | | VLOOKUP value of AB503 in list, range P2 : P300 | IF the first value in the list is greater than value of AB503 | THEN result = 0 (irrespective of other values in list) | OTHERWISE result = value of 'successful' lookup | ( successful does not necessitate a matched value for AB503 ) | | Particularly, | | 1.

[discuss] New Website Posted: 25 Mar 2008 01:11 AM PDT this continues to make me worry about the policy of allowing unsubscribed addresses to post. A gentleman posted offering the free services of his professional web development shop, asking who to contact. Two subscribers hit Reply and answered, but he won't see it. Hate to revive a dead horse just to beat it one more time, but WHY allow unsubscribed posts (IMO, should not be allowed, persons who do not wish to receive list emails can use the forums!) if the headers are not set up to reply to the author of the post-being-replied-to as well as to the list? Should it really be up to Discuss listmates to reveal full headers on all incoming posts to which they wish to reply, scan through dozens of header lines looking to see if there is a "Delivered-To: moderator for org" line, and manually copy the OP's email address into a cc field? Even if list admins don't think that is too much to ask, folks just don't know or don't always remember to do this. It leaves the OP feeling like there is no community support. Very bad for PR and for expansion of the user and developer communities. kazar --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org

Some, but not all of the keystroke combinations can also be remapped to that which was used by WordPerfect. [Personally, I'd rather remap to the WordStar Command set. But that requires rewriting the OOo code.] The major feature that WordPerfect users want, that OOo does not direclty offer is Reveal Codes; In OOo Reveal codes add zero functionality. None the less, there is a macro that will provide something similar to Reveal codes in Write, and a second macro does that for Calc. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: org For additional commands, e-mail: org

[discuss] Simple Typo Posted: 13 Mar 2008 01:24 PM PDT Hi; This is a grammar trap I have had to look up several times in my life to get the correct usage of Latin origin words. My main reference is "Fowler's Modern English Usage". He has several entries under "plurals", "latin plurals", etc. It seems to boil down to this: The English language uses words of Latin origin in three ways. * Words that have been taken/borrowed from Latin; either directly or through french; but have become fully integrated into the English language as English words. * Words that have a technical meaning; defined by scientists, mathematicians and other technical writers or speakers. This is a holdover from the days when Latin was the 'lingua franca' of early science. Because of this early international scientific usage and fixed definition they are still considered Latin words, not absorbed English words. * And of course, Latin words that are used in Latin phrases and quotations by Lawyers and Philosophers. They are Latin words because their original Latin meaning is intended within the quotation. Examples of pluralization: English words, even if the origin was Latin but are now used in common English, are made plural by adding an 's' -- as would be expected. E.g. "I have several different formulas I use to pick up girls". Or,"The formulas used are just basic rules of thumb". Technical words (math, physics, chemistry etc) are not English, they are a "lingua franca" of science and don't change in their very specific meaning. "This is a formula: A=Pi r ^2" "These are formulae: A=Pi r ^2, and, a^2=b^2+c^2" Of course, If you are using Latin phrases or quotations, they should be pluralized using proper Latin grammar.

[discuss] Theme support for OpenOffice. Posted: 11 Mar 2008 01:16 AM PDT Well actually there is a mild theme support which is that most of the icons are png and stored under zip files. This files are also stored under [OpenOffice.org]/share/config/ This has all the iconset stored in zip packages. It wont be that hard to get a new theme load up (or maybe it does) but would be better to have a zip with the new theme. Now I know this might not be all that you wanted and you are looking for toolkit support. However the toolkit wasn't built for theme in mind and the actual color scheme would need to be either engineer or activate. This is easier to ask once we get an actual iconset to work with.

Identification of software key for Office 2004 install Posted: 03 Feb 2008 05:43 PM PST Hi Bob: Yes, sort-of. If you look in the Application menu for the About item and display that, it will display the Product ID to you. If you find two machines on which all but the last five digits match, the same key was used on those two machines. It won't tell you "which" key was used, just that the "same" key was used.

VB Editor - Command key stuck? Posted: 03 Feb 2008 04:25 PM PST Sorry, I should've said - yep, I've checked both of those. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll try it tonight.

Illegal handling of Greek Characters in Speller (Office 2008) Posted: 03 Feb 2008 10:45 AM PST Thanks for the try. I am sure that this is a bug in these two apps. It is correct that the language is applied to the whole doc but this is not the problem. Try the following. Write a few greek words in an excel sheet (i hope you can) like the ones in the list (ðÜëé, ððð Ýíáò). Calling the speller, the words containing greek letter pi (ð) presented with only the pi letter in the spell dialog. All other characters are missing. The word with three pi (ððð) appears correctly. This means that excel passes only pi from greek chars to the speller. If the greek word contains two nonconsecutive pi then the speller presents the first as unknown word and then the second as a different unknown word considering the characters between the two pi as space chars. If instead of greek chars you put english chars between two nonconsecutive pi then the whole word is correctly passed to speller and handled normally. In Entourage not even the pi is passed to speller. Greek chars considered as empty space. On 4 Öåâ, 13:05, John McGhie <name> wrote:

Appleworks conversion Posted: 03 Feb 2008 09:00 AM PST PS to my own (which I actually tried to cancel): While there are free scripts out there, this question has a lot of different variations and issues that you could run into that would take a lot of time to work around, so it's probably worth just biting the bullet and paying for MacLinkPlus (that Michel linked), which is a more extensive program that should already have taken all these issues into account.
