Problems with Safari

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 04:15 PM PST


My Firefox (v 2.0.0.12) has the same problem, but not for Safari (v 3.0.4
523.12.2). The mess seems to happen in Traditional Chinese web page such as
Yahoo Hong Kong homepage. I've tried to remove font cache and restart. The
mess still exists.

My PowerBook runs on OS X 10.5.2 and the latest Firefox.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks,

Charles

What do you mean by compatible? Do you mean a database program by Microsoft
for the Macintosh? If so, there is none, never was, and probably never will
be? If you mean able to read and write to Access databases, then Excel for
the Mac can do that via third party software.

There are several good database programs for the Mac (but none from
Microsoft), FileMaker is one, Panorama (http://www.provue.com/) is another,
so is 4D (http://www.4d.com/)
All are "compatible" with Office in that they can import data from, and
export data to Office for the Mac. Again, what do you mean by "compatible"?

Volume Licence Key

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 02:47 AM PST

Thanks for the reply i'll check those out, yea its not a personal licence im trying to find the licences for the school mac's system we bought the software and three licences first. Since we gained another 10 new macs we needed an extention on the licences. Now we have a licence agreement number and an authorisation number and no volume licence key for each computer. And after three attempts to attain it im slowly finding it hard to contiue this battle for a key.

Opening Word 08 documents in PC

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 04:47 PM PST

Do not change the suffix on a file, or you may 'cause' this problem. The
suffix tells the receiving computer which code is in the file: if it doesn't
match the content, you get this problem.

However, in this case, this is an error on the PC end.

There are some things you can try to help them work around it.

1) Tell the PC user to save the file to a folder before trying to open it.
PC email programs should not allow them to open Word documents directly from
their email, because that's how they get viruses.

2) Make sure you have enabled "Windows Friendly Attachments" if you are
using Apple email. If you are using Entourage, check "MIME" as your
encoding format and "Append Windows File Extensions" as your default for
sending.

3) Before sending your file, Zip it using the Mac "Create Archive" command,
which appears if you right-click the file in the Finder.

4) If the Windows PC is running a version of Word younger than 2007, it
needs a converter to open Word 2008 .docx files. Tell them to download it
from the Microsoft website.

Hope this helps

"Cannot Load the Microsoft Office Shared Libraries" Error Message

RESOLUTION The damaged file belongs to the Mac Operating System. To resolve

1. Repair disk permissions. Use the Disk Utility to repair and then verify

2. Restart the system, and then check to see whether all programs start.
3. Apply the latest Apple combo updater. If that fails you will need to do
an "Archive & Install".

You might need to download the combo updater from Apple and run it again
rather than using Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files. Several users have reported this fixed some odd

annoying wrong dateformat

No that doesn't work. If I format the cells as dates, it only offers the possibiity 3/14 or 14-Mar and some others but not 14/3.
However, some experimenting led me to the solution. You have to format the cells as a "custom" format, namely dd/mm.

MSN has a new toolbar which blocks popups. I added our server to the "allow

If anyone else has this issue, I recommend first disabling any pop-up

CRM 1.2 Security Service Not starting

Posted: 10 May 2004 06:19 AM PDT

here u go...
Document ID: 28821
Date Created: 1/13/2003
Date Last Modified: 8/19/2003
Language: English - United States
Country: USA
Product: Microsoft CRM
Versions: 1.0
Modules: Microsoft CRM Installation

Issue

Error - "The Microsoft CRM Security Service failed to
start due to the following error: The service did not
respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion." occurs during the installation of the Microsoft
CRM Server when Microsoft CRM Server 1.0 and Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 are installed on the same machine.

Resolution

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about the
registry. If modifying the registry, make sure to back
it up and make sure that you understand how to restore
the registry if a problem occurs. For information about
how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, see
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 256986 - Description of
the Microsoft Windows Registry.

To prevent the Microsoft CRM Security Service from
failing to start upon bootup, you can edit the registry
on the Microsoft CRM Server. Log into the server as a
local administrator and run the registry editor by going
to Start | Run | REGEDT32. Expand out the registry tree
to get to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MSCRM
SecurityService.

With the MSCRMSecurityService key highlighted, go to the
Edit Menu and choose the Add Value option. Name the
Value "DependOnService" without the double quotes and
choose a Data Type of REG_MULTI_SZ. Add on two separate
lines the following data, MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT
and then click on OK to save the new REG_MULTI_SZ
values.

Note - If you are using another instance of SQL Server,
you must add the name of the SQL Server Instance and the
SQL Server instance Agent names that are listed in the
Windows 2000 Services. This will enable the Microsoft
CRM Security Service to wait for the Microsoft SQL Server
2000 services to start before it tries to start.

email from CRM questions

Hi,

This is just how CRM sends the emial as it is going throught the exchange
connector it sends it as your email address becasue it does not resolve the
name (in AD).

I am not aware of a way to automataiclly create a header but you may be able
to do it through a custom email form.

User Manager fails to display all users from AD

Posted: 08 May 2004 06:38 AM PDT

Turned out that the cause was the userAccountControl attribute of the
missing users.

User accounts had been migrated from Netware NDS and the migration process
had resulted in their userAccountControl attribute involving "Password not
Required". Changing missing users userAccountControl to 512 (Normal User)
fixed the problem

There is a TK on the issue, that relates to migrations from NT4 domains.
Clearly, it applies to migrations from NDS as well

Outlook 2003 integration

Posted: 07 May 2004 01:22 PM PDT

We use Outlook 2003 and CRM Client and it works, but on
one machine I would get an error everytime outlook started
stating that the forms could not be installed. After
doing a registry comparison, I found that it was missing a
string in the MSCRM key.

path: machinename\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\
type: REG_SZ (string)
name: CassiniPort
value: 2525

After adding that value, go into Outlook and remove the
com addin, close outlook, start outlook and then re-add
the "com addin"
c:\Program Files\Microsoft CRM\Client\bin\crmaddin.dll

See if that works for you.

All my office products spell check is not working

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 01:43 PM PDT

If I compose a new e-mail, reply to an e-mail, or forward an e-mail, it opens up the dialog box and suggests a word for the first misspelled word. If I click any of the buttons besides "Cancel", it acts like it is going to do the button's action, but then only gives me the choice to "Resume". If I click that, it keeps me at the same misspelled word and won't move from there. Same exact thing happens when I try to spell check a Word document. I'm running the app from a virtual server environment and the client is having the issue. None of the other clients are having these issues. Any ideas folks?

Branching in a Microsoft Word form

There is a pre-release or Beta version of an Office product on your computer error when installing Office 2013

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 12:32 PM PDT

 

Does anyone know why this message appears?  I never had a beta version of anything on my computer and only released product.  MS Office 2010 was updated to MS Office Pro 2013.   I had been using MS-Word for a couple of weeks without any problems and today when I attempted to run the program the splash screen appeared and nothing else. 

 

After the splash screen did nothing except for the animated dots going across the UI I clicked on the X in the upper right, but not all Services closes so I performed a Cold Boot.  After the cold boot I attempted a Repair.   The Repair performed a partial uninstall instead leaving a generic Office 2013 icon in Control Panel Add/Remove. 

 

After realizing the install was now "toast" I attempted to reinstall www.office.com/setup and received the Beta Version or Pre-Release was on the system, however this is and was not the case.  When researching this problem I ended up running the Fix-It Uninstall which did leave me at a point where I could perform a new installation, but this time I used the CD copy I ordered from Microsoft as part of the first 2013 install.

 

The installation completed and so far uneventful.  I just don't have a real cushy feeling about this and being a former MS Engineer I don't like that feeling at all. 

 

When I was running Office 2010, Word would hang and I would have to perform a Repair every now and then.   This worked so when I installed 2013 I thought these problems of the hangling splash screen would be over, but I was wrong as today and with 2013 the spash screen hung again.

 

Does any of what I said sound familiar to anyone else?

 

Thanks,

Conditional statement in text box

Hi all,

Every time I attempt to add a conditional statement to my mergefield that I have placed inside a text box, I get an error saying:

"You cannot include DATA, NEXT, NEXTIF, or SKIPIF fields in comments, headers, footers, footnotes or endnotes."

It gives me this error no matter what rule I apply to the mergefield. Is a text box considered any of those conditions?

I need to apply a NEXTIF or IF,THEN,ELSE to a mergefield, otherwise there will be a LOT of deleting. I use the text box as a way to show the balance due.

Thanks!

Having major problems using INCLUDEPICTURE for a mail merge.

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:42 AM PDT

I know this is a common question.  I'm using Word 2010 and connecting to a SQL 2012 local Express database for a Mail Merge.  

I have a string field in my table defining a location for an image.  I am certain the path is correct.  I've verified that the string itself is getting through correctly.  (C:\\TEST\\FILENAME.jpg, etc).  

Most of the examples I've looked at talk about inserting a picture with the Link To File option, then doing an Alt F9.  Beyond that I just can't get it to work.  

I have, among other things followed Graham Mayor's advise and unchecked the Update Link on Save option (although I still seem to be getting that //..//..// format.)

Beyond that my attempts have mostly been similar to this,  Alt-F9 then insert variations like this: 

{INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF TRUE "MERGEFIELD ClientImage" }" \* MERGEFORMAT \d}

(By the way, it's not clear to me from my reading whether all the brackets should be generated by CTRL-F9 or just the outermost.  I've tried it both ways, without success.)

Does anyone have a reliable list of steps they could provide?  This is getting too frustrating.

Links and browsers

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:31 AM PDT

Ordinarily when I put a link in a Word document and later click on it the page in question opens in Internet Explorer, my default browser.  But sometimes I want the page to open in another browser, such as Firefox.  Is there a way to direct the link to use that other browser?  I know that I can make another program the default browser, but going back and forth between browsers this way is a bit klutzy.  And I think I can copy a link and paste it into another browser.  It's hardly a big problem but is there a more elegant solution?

Linking Numbered Heading Styles

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 09:04 AM PDT

I have been searching for answers on how to do this, but have so far come up empty.  Also, please note that the links you've been supplying to Shauna Kelly's "How to Create Numbered Headings or Outline Numbering" article no longer work.  The first page discussing the topic is still there, but the links to the actual methods of doing it for either Word 2003 and earlier or Word 2007 and 2010 no longer bring anything up.

What I'm trying to do is set up a Word template that has outline numbered headings that would look like this:

1.0 Heading 1
 1.1 Heading 2
  1.1.1 Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Heading 5

I have successfully created the above headings with all their associated formatting and they work, except for one thing.  I need each list linked to the previous heading level so that I get the following when creating lists:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.1.1.1.1 Based on Heading 5
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.2.1 Based on Heading 3
  1.2.2 Based on Heading 3
   1.2.2.1 Based on Heading 4
    1.2.2.1.1 Based on Heading 5
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 2.1 Based on Heading 2
  2.1.1 Based on Heading 3
   2.1.1.1 Based on Heading 4
   2.1.1.2 Based on Heading 4
    2.1.1.2.1 Based on Heading 5, and so forth.

What I end up getting is either of these two formats by changing some of the numbering options:

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.2 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.2 Based on Heading 3...

or

1.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3
2.0 Based on Heading 1
 1.1 Based on Heading 2
  1.1.1 Based on Heading 3...

I have tried every option that I can find to try to link the numbering in levels 2 - 5 to the number used in the previous level, but nothing has worked so far.  

Is it possible to do this?

I'd very much appreciate any help that could be provided.

Word Table Layout Formula calculations - adding up negatives

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:32 AM PDT

I am using formulae in a Table Layout using the Formula tab and cell references like =(D10-C10)    I've got the Number Format working and it basically works but

a) the minus does not seem to work e.g I have a formula to calculate e.g. b8-c8, b9-c9, b10-c10 etc.. the results of each are in d8,d9,d10

I'm trying to add this up into a total in d12

This works fine until in the final sum formula using =SUM(ABOVE)   which is summing the results of other sums.  This basically works but ignores any negative numbers

My sense is that word does not allow a sum of formula to include negative numbers, though a sum of cells can work correctly taking account of negatives

Any thoughts very welcome

b)also, F9 only works when cells are covered, not just when I click in a cell ?

Word Document Lost

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:05 AM PDT

I downloaded a paper from an email and worked on it for several hours hitting SAVE, but not save as. I closed it to attach it to an email and then realized I had not saved it to a specific location. I cannot find it anywhere on my computer, including the recovery files which are set to run every 10 minutes. How can I find it?

Resizing multiple graphics at once

Posted: 01 Aug 2013 05:20 AM PDT

I regularly receive Word files from colleagues which have several images embedded. I can resize them individually, but it would be really great if I could select several of them and apply resizing to them all. Is there a method to do so ?

 

Thanks in advance... :)

If not, is there another Microsoft software anyone recommends for this? What I'm looking into doing is to create a list of names, and divide them into different groups. I'm hoping to use perhaps tabs or accordions to divide those groups. That way, I'm not scrolling forever on one page. Is there a feature that allows this in Word or another microsoft product?

My MSW07 keeps crashing.  It posts a message that it has stopped working and that MS will try to find out why _ if they do they never tell me why - and closes.

 

This morning I tried to do a repair on it.  I inserted my disc and got this message:

Word 2013 - Cannot edit a template - the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:19 PM PDT

I downloaded a Report  Template for Word, saved it and was able to edit most parts of it, but there is a section I want to use that has a text box and when I go to edit it, I get the message ' the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked'

Can someone give me a legitimate reason and HOW to Unlock it. Does this happen because the Template Author locked it - if so, that pretty much defeats the purpose of having a template ;P

I saw some of the other answers, so:

No, it is not a Trial Version

Save a Backup Copy as PDF

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 06:07 PM PDT

I have a Word Doc file that I use/change often and save to my Dropbox....

I was wondering if there was a way that every time I save the file I can have a PDF version, saved each time as well. 

(Without having to "Save As PDF")

Some sort of backup function perhaps?

My goal is to be able to share a link to the pdf version with customers...so they cannot edit the word version...

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated...

Word 2007: cannot control placement of picture within a Word-created table

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:05 PM PDT

Dear All,

I have a document with many tables and figures.  I am inserting tables and figures as picture into tables that I have created in Word 2007.  For instance, if I would like a table with a caption on top, I insert a table with 2 rows and 1 column.  I then paste the tale into the lower row, write the caption in the upper row, and specify the table as not having a visible boundary.  I am doing this so that tables/figures and their captions are "locked" together and moving them around is easier.

This has worked great except in the following modified scenario.  I have a large table that I have rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it is displayed in landscape in a sense, however I do not want the page it is on to be rotated so as to be landscape.  With a page in portrait and the table rotated, then the printed page should be the same as inserting page breaks, making an individual page landscape, and inserting the table as non-rotated.  The reason why I do not want to create a lanscaped page is again because I will be moving things around later and messing with page breaks, etc is a bit clunky.

The problem is when I try to insert this rotated table as a picture into a Word table so that I can caption the top.  I have inserted a Word table that is 1 row by 2 columns.  I have then inserted into the left most column the table and would like to insert a caption in the right most column with text rotated 90 degrees to the right so that it matches the inserted table's orientation.  When I do this this, I cannot get the table (inserted as a picture) to be properly aligned with the Word table's left most column.  It (the picture table) wants to be right justified to the page.  If I try to move it or resize the Word table it just cuts off part of the table and maintains this orientation.  I have played around with various wrapping and other settings and have not gotten the desired result.  I'm sure if I made the text wrapping one of behind text then I could move it where I'd like but then this immediately causes headaches with the body text being over the inserted picture table, etc.

What I am wanting is rather straightforward, insert a picture (table as a picture) into a column of a Word 2007 table and have precise control over where this picture table is shown within the particular cell of the table.  Can anyone help?

Predessor occurs after task

Posted: 24 Sep 2004 02:41 AM PDT

You are reversing yourself. You first said the successor is coming before
the predecessor, in this message you said "the predecessor comes before the
task" which seems to say the task in question comes after the predecessor.
Which is it?

In a Finish-to-Start link, the predecessor normally does finish before the
successor starts, unless there is a lead time in the link or a constraint on
the successor that overrides the normal behavior.

This all assumes you are scheduling from start date forward. A lot changes
when you schedule from finish date backwards and such scheduling is rarely a
good idea even if you have very strong deadlines. You didn't mention which
you are doing.

Coding iterations

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 06:23 PM PDT

The *same* task cannot take part in multiple iterations. *Similar* tasks
might occur, but a task is a block of work taking place between time A and
time B. It requires both the type of work and the start and end time frame
to define a task. A repetition, with the same sort of work taking place
between time C and time D, a different time frame, is actually a different
task even though it may have the same name. After all, if I have to repeat
the widget waxing I could put substitute a new resource for the second
round. Since the purpose of the plan is to produce a schedule, every
iteration of the tasks must appear individually at the time frame where they
will be scheduled to occur. Otherwise, you have no way to advise the
resources when they will be expected to engage in that particular activity.
This means you really can't put in an iteration as a task with a counter
because that will appear in the schedule at only one spot rather than
recurring for each iteration. The best way might be to make a best-guess,
worst-case scenario of the number of interations likely and enter them all
in the plan. Then when you get closer to the events you can refine your
estimate and add or remove iterations as needed.

Start 10 days After

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 04:44 PM PDT

Hi Josh (and the rest of the gang)

Perhaps we are applying too narrow an interpretation on Josh's question.
I'll be making a bit of an assumption, but here goes:

T2 earliest start is March 1st OR 10 days after the finish of T1 - whichever
is the later. If this is correct, then it can be programmed by applying the
contraint of FNLT of Feb 15th on T1. Then on T2 you'd apply the constraint of
SNET March 1st, complete with the T1+10 days predecessor.

If T1 is scheduled to finish earlier than 10 days before the March 1st, and
your T1 duration extends, Project will extend the bar length up until the end
the specified FNLT date. If T1 duration continues to extend, then the bar
length wil begin to start the task earlier, as per requirements.

If T1 is driven by a predecessor, say T-1, and Rescheduling Uncompleted Work
drives the task durations into conflict, you will then get the warning
message. Moreover, if progress has started on T1, and you have to Reschedule
Uncompleted Work or amend the duration of T1 such that the end-date of T1
goes beyond the FNLT date, you will be given a warning....thereby having T1
drive out the start date of T2.

Overall, it seems to work reasonably well...but like anything else, you have
to keep an eye on it. To make monitoring it a little easier, I inserted a
Deadline arrow on T2.

If I've got this all wrong, please beat me with a spiked club.

Project 2003 - Can a default be set to start each task at 8:00 AM

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 12:21 PM PDT

Hi

i've used a little "trick" occassionally in a project to force a task to
move to a certain time, but i don't know how to do it for every task.

What i've done is create a new calendar that has a working time of 1minute
(8am to 8.01 am)
then when i've had to "force" a task to move say to the next morning i've
added a task (Task A) between this task (Task 2) and it's predecessor (Task
1) with the duration of 1 minute and then assigned the calendar to it ..
this makes the TaskA go to 8am on the next day and then Task 2 follows it. -
you can then change row height & format the row so it can't been seen when
printing - but as i said, it wouldn't be a solution if you had to do it for
every task in the project

Cheers
JulieD

Start-to-Finish dependancy looks odd in Gantt Chart

Posted: 23 Sep 2004 09:32 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your assistance.
You'll need 3 tasks to test this (I think). Task 1 and Task 2 are normal
Finish-to-Start dependancy. Task 1 needs a duration longer than the
"tuesday" task (Task 3), I set it to 10 days (while Task 3 will be 1 day).
Task 2 then has a Start-to-Finish dependancy with Task 3. You should see
the abnormal behavior with this setup. Task 3 appears to stretch out over
multiple days, even though it has only 1 day duration. Oh and I am setting
up a special "tuesday" calendar that Task 3 uses (Tools->Change Working
Times->New. Then just assign the calendar to Task 3).

After reading your explanation I think you may be seeing the long bar as
well ("The bar is there over Wed and Thur just like it flows over the
weekend for a 2 week task but the task is a 1 day duration task"). I do not
want the bar, I want an arrow (1 day bar, several days arrow going to the
next task). If you do the same thing with all Finish-to-Start dependancies
the 1 day task bar never stretches over 1 day, even if the next task doesn't
start for several days afterwords.

If you want an explanation as to why I need my project set up like this:
We have a project with several Phases (6 to be exact), each with a main
Construction Task. The Construction tasks need to happen one right after
the next (standard Finish-to-Start dependancies). However, before each
Construction phase, the phase must be approved in a commision meeting (which
only takes place on tuesdays). This meeting needs to happen just soon
enough that the Construction phase will be able to start immediately after
the previous construction phase ends. I want the project Gantt Chart to
accurately show that this task only occurs on a Tuesday and is complete on
that day, but I want the dependancies so that it moves if Construction
phases finish early or late.

Hope that explains my problem better.
Ryan

incorrect value in summary tasks for the baseline cost fields.

Posted: 22 Sep 2004 11:57 PM PDT

Hello,
I think it's the normal behavior of a baselined data :
The summary was baselined at $10000 for instance with 3 children tasks. You
delete a children task which was baselined at $2000.
The summary baseline stays at $10000 but Project displays a Variance of -
2000 .

Anyway, you can baseline the project a second time and clear the variance.

Having to access the Web for help with MS Project is a pain and a.

Posted: 22 Sep 2004 04:02 PM PDT

Hi aggravated,

You can ask Project (and other Office 2003) products to
search the local help files first instead of going out to
the web.
Go to help menu and choose "Microsoft Project Help." In
the Project Help task pane, click the "Online Content
Settings..." hyperlink. Remove the check from "Search
online content when connected." You will still have the
option of searching online if you don't find the answer
you need searching the local help files.

Hope this helps.
