Add margins to email merge from Word

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 02:37 PM PDT

I'm sending an email newsletter to a large list of email addresses from Word using a mail merge. Is there any way to create padding on both sides so that the content is a fixed size and centered? Is the only way to do this by putting everything in a table?

How to link smaller documents to one big one?

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I am part of a team that is working on a large project. We each want to work on our own section of the document, but then somehow see the results rolled up into a larger document. How would we do it?

For example, I work on section 1.doc, John works on section 2.doc, and Jane works on section 3.doc. If I open up the document called MAIN.doc, I see all three sections in order, and the document is updated based on what is in the smaller three documents.

Macro import problems

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 12:14 PM PDT

I have some macros that I created in Office XP that are stored in a NORMAL.dot created In Offfice XP/Word. Inwant to import these macros to my Office 2010 computer. I am using Doug Robbins method of exporting them using the VB editor and then importing them. Problem is when I click on the Word icon and open up a new session and then import the .bas file, when I try to save the document as Normal.dotm, I get a message that says it's in use. Apparently, I have it locked from opening a new document.

 

How can I get these macros imported into Normal.dotm

Blue screen, "Bad Pool Header" in Windows 7 when opening new install of Word 365

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 11:42 AM PDT

I just installed Office 365, and each time I try to open a word doc now the computer blue screens with a "Bad Pool Header" error. I can run the other Office apps just fine, but each time I try to run word I get the same error. I have attempted to repair the install, but I still get the same result. Thoughts?

content control in word 2013

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 11:38 AM PDT

I have created a form in Word 2013 and have restricted editing so that the user can only tab through the document and fill in the form.  However, tabbing simply extends the length of the current box, rather than jumping from box to box within the form.  Can someone tell me what I am missing here?  Why are we unable to simply tab from box to box?  Thanks for any help you might provide!

One letter turns into three, like thhhis. Any solutions?

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 09:38 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

 

I have a problem that has occurred on Microsoft Word only: while I'm typing, suddenly some letters will turn into three.  For exxxample, thisss will occccurrr.  The problem does not occur in any other program I use frequently, including Excel, Powerpoint and Chrome.

 

I will refer to this problem as 'the problem' or 'the Word problem' from now on.

 

Problem description: (this issue occured in three computers for me, but the same description applies to all three)

- the problem can occur for any character, including spacebar.

- it almost always gives me three of the intended character.

- it occurs sporadically, in bursts, without warning; i.e. I can type a paragraph with no problems, then suddenly in the next sentence, almost every word will have the problem.  The problem does not occur every time I use Word, but there is no indication when it will occur.

- if I immediately backspace on the string of letters, Word will crash. (i.e. program freezes.  When I try to close that document, all documents close, new Microsoft window pops up asking if I want to send an error report.  When I re-open Word, Word will offer to re-open AutoSaved versions of documents.)

- if I immediately save after a string of letters has occured, Word sometimes will crash (as described above).

- the problem has become more rare after I set Word to Autosave Recovery every 1 minute.

- problem occurs on both new and existing documents; i.e. I can start a new, blank document and the problem can occur without me saving the document

 

Systems description (this has occured on three computers for me):

#1 - Dell laptop I own:

- problem began ~9 months ago

- laptop was ~2 years old when the problem began

- no known issues with laptop

- no known keyboard issues.

- I purchased and began using a brand new, non-pirated copy of Office 2010.  Problem began occuring, in Word only, after about half a year.

- Microsoft Office was installed directly from the disc

- OS is Windows 7, which came with laptop

- I contacted a Microsoft technician, who suggested the 'file' (not sure if he meant the problemed document or the program) was corrupted.  He suggested using C-Cleaner to clean up my computer.  I did so, but problem persisted.

 

#2 - Asus laptop I own:

- problem began ~6 months ago

- laptop was brand new when problem began.

- no known keyboard issues.

- brand new laptop actually came with a faulty hard drive.  Word problem occured before AND after hard drive problem was replaced.  Current hard drive has not shown problems, but the Word problem persisted.

- (I'm not sure what effects the faulty hard drive caused, but the one problem I know is my computer would shut down every few days without warning.)

- the Word problem began occuring a few days after I bought bought the laptop and installed Office (though at this time the hard drive was faulty)

- Microsoft Office was installed from Microsoft's website, but using the same product key I purchased, as mentioned above

- OS is Windows 7, which came with the laptop

 

#3 - desktop at work, owned by my workplace

- problem detected today (July 23, 10:00 AM GMT)

- I do not own this computer, so I have limited details on its history or specs

- Dell desktop and keyboard

- no known issues with desktop or keyboard

- program is Word 2003

- this only occured on one document so far.  I have been working on this document for about a week.  This is the only problem with this document and computer so far. 

- the document contains mostly text in various colours (a few diagrams occur; in total they take up ~2 pages).  It began with ~60 pages, but I have been adding content every day.  The problem occured once, about 1 hour after opening the document.  At this time the document had just went over 200 pages and is about 9 Mb.

- OS is Windows XP

 

Please offer suggestions to fix this issue.  I have no idea about what the issue could be.  Please let me know if you have questions or need more details.  Thanks!

remove data source from merg document

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 08:51 AM PDT

               

I have Word 2010 template that I use to create a word document.  This template has a data source that it is used via Mail Merge to create a new document. 

 

Once I create this new document I do not want it to be attached to the data source.  How do I remove a data source from a Word 2010 document?  I have tried ... Mailings ... "Start Mail Merge" ... "Normal Word Document".   But that does not work, every time I open the document it wants to attach to the data source.  This is troublesome, because I send this created document to other people who do not have access to the original data source, and besides there is no reason to have the document attached to the data source.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Word to PDF conversion problem

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 08:50 AM PDT

I convert a LOT of Word documents to PDF for my job (Document Control). The Word versions are maintained by my group and sent to other people/departments for revision.  Once approved, we convert the Word document to pdf using the "Save as" function and have never had an issue with this.  I have recently found several converted documents which have been changed in a very specific way:  There are inserted chromatograms (charts) which are exported to Word from some lab equipment. The Word versions look fine, but the pdf is missing most of the lines/peaks within the chart and the time markers inside the graph are shifted.

 

Everything else in these documents look fine.

I have checked other Word documents which contain inserted information from various sources (e.g. jpegs, Visio charts...even some that have chromatograms) and they are fine as well.

The problem documents were created by different people on different machines at different times.  The versions of Office are 2007 and 2010.

In one of the documents, the charts print incorrectly as described, but if you "restore down" the window, the lines/peaks become visible, though the text is still offset. When you maximize the screen, it appears just like the print out (with unacceptable charts).

 

I am running additional checks.  I had some minimal success with converting these documents via the print function.  I am exploring this further, but  wonder why this would make a difference? 

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.

Font color and or styles change on word document when user starts working on the document.

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 08:01 AM PDT

Hi I am a SharePoint Developer and Office Integrator who is trying to understand a particular problem that is happening in our office.

 

First a little background. Our document library (in SharePoint) creates docm files. The reason for the docm is that the macro will run once to parse the filename so that it know which template to use to insert into the blank document and then xml map the content controls to the Document Library fields. This part is working fine and we're quite happy with it.

 

The problem is that on some users machines Word will arbitrarily change the Font and style of the document when it is being edited by the user. Each of the documents (templates) where the templates are "pulled" from have the same style and font that we need the documents to have. But for some reason when some of our users start working with these documents the Font will change, or the Style, the Color of the font anything can change.

This is frustrating as it impacts the work that the users are doing. I have checked a couple of similar issues but the answers are based on single users. Where talking about whole departments, if the answer is to force everyone to use the same Normal.dot, I'll do it. (I hope it's that simple)

Word 2010 Find and Replace dialog box suddenly is not visible

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 07:34 AM PDT

The Find and Replace dialog box suddenly does not appear when I invoke it through either CTRL-H or through Replace under Home - Editing.  When I do a CTRL-H, the title bar of Word changes color, so I know Word is no longer the focus window.  But the Find and Replace dialog box is not visible.  If I carefully (blindly) type some "find" text, hit Tab, type the "replace" text and hit enter, it actually finds the desired text in the open Word document.  So Find and Replace is working, but the pop up window does not display.  I have tried rebooting, but that did not solve the issue. I have not tried a Repair installation of Office 2010 yet.

Is there a simple solution to make the Find and Replace dialog box be visible again?

"Word was unable to open the data source" error in Mail Merge.

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 07:33 AM PDT

Good Morning,

 

MS Word/MS Excel 2010

I've created mail merges in the past with excel as my selected "recipient".  Here are the steps I'm using but nothing is working.

 

1- Mergefield inserted <MERGEFIELD Name\*MERGEFORMAT>

2- Select recipients, use existing list, desktop, and select Excel document

3- Confirm Data Source opens (click show all and then select MS Excel Worksheets via DDE(*xls)  If I open normally, using "OLE DB Database Files" the entire file opens but I want to select Names that are in Column B, titled Name

4- Click ok

5- In "Named or cell range" I'm typing "Name" and then OK and get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".

 

The Excel document is closed.  I'm trying to Merge the Excel columns titled Name with Word for Tent Cards.  I have one column named "Instructor Name", one column "Member Name", one column "Candidate Name" and the last one "Facilitator Name".   I want to be able to Merge anything with "Name" in the header.

 

Thanks in advance

I have a series of tables set up to repeat each tables header row on each page which is fine however when there's only room left on a page to allow the header row I get the header at the bottom of that page and repeated again on the top of the next page. How do I configure it such that the second row will always follow the header on the same page? I'm using Word 2010 on windows 7

TOC not keeping Amendments

I have amended the TOC options too but this is still happening. Are you able to advise where I am going wrong please.

Word 2007 sometimes inserts a blank page when printing a section

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 03:06 AM PDT

Word 2007. I have documents divided into sections using Section Break - Next Page.

When I try to print a single section (using s1 - like syntax in a Print options) on a both sides, it seems that Word sometimes inserts a blank page at the start of the section. All both side printing goes haywire then of course.

It happens - very vaguely - like at 50/50 ratio. I can't find how the sections which print correctly differ from the wrong ones, there are no control symbols or anything.

Printing using p1s1-p10s1 style syntax does not help either.

Formatting help - image block

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 02:51 AM PDT

I would like to know the best way to achieve this effect in Word 2013. I want a left justified image with a block of text to the right of it, then insert some sort of break so that the next bit of text starts under the image (see picture). I can do this by adding carriage returns manually but I have to keep fiddling with these if the text changes. I also tried a text box but then I can't seem to alter the image wrapping inside the box.

Any ideas?

How to create drop-down list for importance ranking?

Posted: 23 Jul 2013 02:30 AM PDT

I am creating a form. May I know is there anyway for me to create a drop-down box to rank importance? For example, the respondent is to rank the areas in their lives below from the most important to least important. The function that I am asking for now is, to have drop-down boxes for all areas below. In addition, as the respondent select any of the area, let's say - 'Friends' as the first selection, the rest of the selections will only show - '2,3,4,5,6', and after another selection, the choices will become 3-6, 4-6, 5-6, and lastly, '6' only.

Word 2013 error has occurred: system resource exceeded

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 03:14 PM PDT

I open a Word 2013 document, the merge fields are already established and have been connected to an Excel data source (which has worked last week) but when I try to select recipients today (Mon. 7/22/2013) it gives me error messages (won't connect to my Excel data source).  Microsoft Word: "Error has occurred: System resource exceeded".  I click OK, then get "Data Link Properties" menu wanting to specify the data source which shows the correct link, when I click OK I then get "ODBC Excel Drive Login Failed, system resource exceeded". 

The only way I can get the Select Recipients to work is to have the actual Excel Data Source file open on the desk top then I can edit recipient list.  But I have never had this happen before.  This all just started today.  I am very new to Office 2013, just downloaded last week. 

I use to be able to Mail Merge (select recipients and edit recipient list) in Word and have excel data source closed however this is not working correctly. 

Please help.

It turned out to be Zonealarm blocking internet access for Word

Lost my documentation - how can I reinstall Office 2000 Pro?

Posted: 30 Oct 2004 08:09 AM PDT

I seem to recall the consensus is that Belarc doesn't work on Office 2000,
although it does work on earlier and later Office versions. If you have an
OEM version of Office that was preinstalled by your computer's manufacturer,
then you will have to contact your computer's manufacturer for a new product
key. If you purchased a retail version of Office from a conventional or
online retailer and installed it yourself, then see

Dual-Booting...howto install Office 2003...

Hi Keith,

You'll still need to install Office under each OS to write
the needed registry entries and for common files
in the Windows folder for each boot partition but
you can choose the same 'destination' source for
Office itself in a situation where you're not hiding
drives and the drive letters stay consistent (you could
also put it on the 'data' drive for example.

Check the links in the reference section of the
KB article previously mentioned as well for information
on using the Local Install Source option.

FWIW it's not uncommon to use FAT16 when you
may have on the PC or on a local network a PC
running a Win9x or WinME copy that needs to access
files.

Another option is to use MS's Virtual PC setup.

======== 
news:com...
Okay, that has answers for the following setups:

FAT16 partitions (Who uses these under Windows 2000 and XP? That's
odd...but okay)

FAT32 & NTFS used in conjunction, because they're "incompatible" however,
running Windows 2000 and XP would be no problem, as they both can read all of

I'm running NTFS on all three - so is it possible, or do I have to do an
install on each OS's partition?

How do I chain Off 2003 with SP1 AND Junk e-mail patch in CD impa.

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 10:29 AM PDT

David,

Thanks for the response. I don't thinsk this is going to work in our
situationas we need to use the CD image method of deployment as opposed to an
Admin installation method which as you point out will work with the
"slipstreaming". Because of this I believe I have to use the Chaining method.
Any ideas on chaining?

How do I Load existing Office 200 to a new PC

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 08:49 AM PDT


Yes it is possible "to load Office 2000" to your new PC. Your serial number is clearly incorrect so you will need to get it right. Have you got Office 2000 still on your old machine? If so thn you need to run a ViewKey program from MagicalJelly (Micky Mouse Stevens MS-MVP has exclusive rights to distribute this pirating software worldwide) so that you can get the correct key number to use. I suggest do a google for MagicalJelly and get the program (free of charge) and run it on your old machine. You can then save the key in Notepad and then print it out when you have formatted it to print in large characters!

You will then be able to install Office 2000 all over again in your new PC. You don't need to activate this as Office 2000 never required this. If you still get into problems then I suggest download a new serial number from here:

http://www.serialarchive.com (this is also Micky Mouse Stevens' website)

Hope this helps.

configure problems

In article <sentex.net>, Morrison wrote:
 

Version 7... 9... That could be Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, or even

"configure" is usually a shell script located in the build directory of
applications. For example

[compton ~]$ locate configure
/hubble/incoming/downloads/arping-1.06/arping-2/configure
/hubble/incoming/downloads/libpcap-0.8.2/configure
/hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2/configure
/hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2/pppd/plugins/radius/radiusclient/configure
[compton ~]$

I would be somewhat surprised to see a distribution having such a
command, so would you clarify that a bit further?
 

Often, that means that the current directory isn't in your PATH (as
root, it should NEVER be, and an ordinary user might get a nasty
surprise if the current directory is in the PATH, and writable by
others). Does 'ls configure' show the file? Is it executable by
you?

[compton /hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2]$ ls -l configure
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5081 Nov 9 2002 configure
[compton /hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2]$

To run this command, I would need to type

./configure
 

Might be in plain sight.

I see you also posted this same article to "comp.os.linux.help",
"comp.os.linux.redhat" and "alt.os.linux". First, please do not
multi-post (posting the same article SEPARATELY to multiple news
groups. If you really must post to more than one group (something
that is _rarely_ required), put all of the groups into the
Newsgroups: header separated by commas. That way, people only have
to download one copy. Seconds, point your news tool at
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, or news.lists.misc and see the
post "List of Big Eight Newsgroups" to find a list of valid newsgroups.
"comp.os.linux.help" was renamed "comp.os.linux.misc" back in 1994 -
though some news admins _still_ haven't gotten the word.
"comp.os.linux.redhat" has never been a valid newsgroup.

This is because by default Fedora installs to use runlevel 5, with a

x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

Using CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE simply kills the X server, which if you're not in
runlevel 5 will drop you back to a text console, but in runlevel 5 will
cause init to respawn the display manager.

You can "fix" this a couple of ways: edit /etc/inittab so your system
starts in runlevel 3 (text) and use "startx" to launch X after you log in,
or simply switch to a text terminal from X using CTRL-ALT-Fn where "Fn" is
one of the function keys F1 through (usually) F6. Return to your X
session by pressing (usually) F7, although if you have more than one X
server running, F8 through F12 can also work.

Hi André, all,

First I would like to thanks Michael for his proposal and Cor for the
summary here.
André Schnabel wrote: 

I agree with Michael for more openness, what is disturbing me is this
relying on cvs commit. Lot of contributing members are not committers to
cvs and I even don't know how this metric could be evaluated.
 

agreed 

I don't see any difference if we leave the structure of the Council as
it is currently or do you mean that roles from developers to leads are
eligible? In that last case, the structure is changed?
That leave also a large part of the contributors out of the scheme (I'm
thinking about QA members or Documentation members for example), but it
will be more open than at the moment. 

I second all this points, the CC really needs more life from the community. 

At the end, it underlines again that we don't know who are our
contributors. CVS is one metric, but we should have others. 

+1 ;)

Kind regards
Sophie

I find Biblical and Royal names come up a lot, but if you are in the

By the way what science are you in? I beleive the list of specialist
technical word will vary depending if it is brain surgery, rocket
science, or nuclear physics. I think if all aspects of science and every
other specialty covered by the dewey decimal system was taken into
account the dictionary would be larger than the OO.o program and doing
a spellcheck would be a prohibitive excercise.

I also believe that specialist dictionaries of words for specialist

as a dictionary already, if you are prepared to narrow down your request

I beleive this alos happens when the cache in Outlook

you will need to perfrom the following steps.

1. In Outlook, go to Tools, Options.
2. Under the "Other" tab, click on the "Advanced
Options" button.
3. Click on the "Custom Forms" button.
4. In the "Options" window, click on "Manage Forms".
5. In the Forms Manager window that opens, click
on "Clear Cache".
6. Close all open windows, and close Outlook.
7. Re-launch Outlook, and try to use the CRM buttons.

If you read through the default.aspx in the CRM (1.2) web root, you'll find
the following javascript:

if (window.screen.width < 768)
{
alert("Microsoft CRM requires a screen resolution of at least 800x600.

}

}

So, your minimum for PCs is 800x600.

If you are using an unsupported accounting solution there is nothing to stop
you adding custom pages, perhaps on the account form which queries a
different database. Of course you would neen a field which is the same
between the two systems.

To do this you need to use ASP.NET and the CRM sdk and a language like
C#.NET or VB.NET

It will take a bit of work of course but if you cant buy it off the shelf
thats the options

Good luck

Add new counter field to Opportunities

Posted: 30 Apr 2004 09:25 AM PDT

The only problem with this is that it won't work when a sales rep is using the
SFO in offline mode. You could have 2 reps both create an opportunity while
offline and they would receive the same value for this field.

You might be able to implement something like this via a Post-Callout though.
The callout won't fire until the recrods are synched on the server, so that
would potentially prevent this issue.

Support Case and Contract Workflow

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 03:32 PM PDT

Matt,
i guess at least the first part of Bills question is not
only a question of functionality but of the process
itself.

creating a case and assigning a existing contract gives
you the possibility to check the kind of contract
afterwards. dependent on this value you can send an email
to the manager.

So you only have to switch actions in this part of your
real service process.

Do you use the ITIL reference model for building up this
service process?
Actually in our projects we use the biztalk server 2004
for setting up service processes using the ITIL reference
model and integrating MS SMS and MS MOM.

IE is closing when launching MSCRM web application

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 12:40 AM PDT

Aside from the popup blockers - an understanding of the code will help.

If you look through the javascript in web_root\default.aspx, you'll find the
load function. (see below)
Find the " // Do not close the window if it is the Application" comment and
start reading.
You'll find that if minimum resolution has been met, a new window is opened,
and the current browser window is closed.

We set up a CRM link on our intranet page that opens in a new window - where
the default.aspx is executed.
If successfully initialized, it opens a new browser window, and closes the
"intermediate" window - thus leaving the browser with the intranet page
intact, and a new browser window running CRM.
