Can you manually edit automated Balloon markups?

I know I can create my own 'Comment' balloons when editing/reviewing a document but I would also like to be able to edit the content of automated balloon markups that come up when using the Compare document feature.  Is this possible?

word 2007 save bug

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 01:22 PM PDT

Hello.

I had started to create a document in MS word 2000 and copied the file after saving my work in a USB flash drive.

I opened the file and continued working on a different machine with MS word 2007 installed. It opened my document in compatibility mode. When I tried to save it (File-->Save) instead of saving it, an error message popped-up, my original file was deleted and MS word closed.

Is it how word is supposed to work or it is a bug never solved?

I can understand that if I want to work with earlier versions of a program, I should save my work in an earlier format, but newer versions of the same program, made by the same company cannot process the files of old versions? that's kind of weird.

New table style row height

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 09:32 AM PDT

Greetings. Building a document template and I've got my tables defined how I want them, except for one thing - row height. When I try to modify the table style, row height is greyed out. If I create a table from that style (which is set as the default table style), I can modify the row size in the table properties, but it doesn't seem to affect the actual table. I've looked at the obvious settings around margins and stuff, and nothing really seems to matter.

 

Here is an example. The top is from my style, and the bottom is just a table I created that matches my desired style. I need the top table to match the bottom style. As you can see, the only thing that's "off" is the row height.

 

 

What am I missing?

How to create MSword 2007 calender 2013 template?

Is there any way to control the order of building blocks on the Insert/Quick Parts menu?

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 08:32 AM PDT

I have created custom templates for users and am storing custom, template-specific building blocks in it.   I am happy with the functionality so far.

 

I am about to create user documentation to train them to create their own docs based on the various templates.  But what's driving me crazy is that the building blocks are appearing only in alphabetical order, and I'd rather group them my own way.

 

Is there any way to control this?  Can I somehow use the building blocks organizer to do it?

 

Thanks

Word 2010 Line Spacing

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 06:09 AM PDT

Back in the old days, it was customary to create a subscript on a typewriter by rolling the platen down by half a line, typing the subscript (which was, of course, in full size Courier font), rolling the platen back up by half a line, and continuing typing. Word 2010 offers a fast and easy way to create a subscript, but the number or letter is in reduced font size. Also, the subscript can cause the line spacing to increase to accommodate the lower character.

I need to recreate an old document that was typed on a typewriter. The only problem I'm having is the subscript. After working on the problem for a couple of hours, I gave up assuming that Word would not do what I need. Using { advance } moved the text, but it also altered the line spacing.

Just a few minutes ago, I looked at the document in Word after it was scanned and OCR'd in Adobe Acrobat XI. One of the subscripts is exactly the way I need it. So, Word WILL do what I need. Now I need to find a way to do it.

Two questions:

1. How can I accomplish the task above? or

2. How can I look at what Word did to display the desired subscript in the scanned document?

The scanned document is available if someone needs to see it. Thanks!

update links macro not working

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 01:11 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have created a template in my STARTUP folder. The template contains an AutoText entry and a macro.

 

The AutoText entry (_autotextEntry) contains links to an Excel file. I would like the macro to insert the AutoText, then loop through the links and update them to the Excel workbook that is selected.

 

The code below is not quite working. If I split the code into two macros, then run the first to insert the AutoText, then the second to update the links then everything works fine. When I combine the code and try to run a single macro, the chart links update, but the links to text fields do not update.

 

Is anyone able to shed any light on this? Thanks in advance,

Mark

Cannot paste into Word 2010

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:28 PM PDT

I am running Windows 7-64 with Office 2010. I cannot paste text or pictures into a Word document, however I can use the special paste CTRL+ALT+V without any problem. The copy shortcut works fine as well, so it is just the actual CTRL+V paste shortcut that doesn't work.

The problem only persists in Word as well. Ive tried it in Excel and it works fine as well as in outside applications. Once the shortcut is pressed, it looks like its about to run fine, the cursor holds for a fraction of a second like it does in excel but nothing gets pasted. If I right-click and go to paste, it used to show the preview of the picture but has stopped doing that now, however the right-click paste with text works fine.

 I have tried almost all of the solutions I can find. I have rebooted my computer. Done a hard reboot by removing the battery, reinstalled Office, starting Office with addons disabled, uninstalled Skype Click-to-Call, run the "sfc \scannow" command in the cmd prompt, and reset all the shortcut keys. I have tried to do a system restore as well but either it doesn't work or it doesn't go back far enough.

I can find no other way to try to fix it. I did not want to waste everyone's time without trying to figure it out myself. Alas, I am at wit's end and humbly implore you for any and all help you can offer. Thank you kind people of the forums.

MS Excel (2010) To MS Word (2010) - When Trying to paste As A Linked Chart Object into MS Word, It Does Not Always Appear

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 08:10 PM PDT

Hi Everyone,

 

Not sure if this is a known issue or something I might be doing wrong...

 

Successful Steps:

 

1. Create MS Excel Chart

2. Right Click Chart and Copy

3. Open MS Word

4. Right Click and Select Paste as Link

 

What happens:

 

1. Create MS Excel Chart

2. Right Click Chart and Copy

3. Open MS Word

4. Right Click and Paste as link doesnt appear - Paste Appears

 

I create a column chart in MS Excel and want to then copy and paste to MS Word so that it retains the link so it gets refreshed.

 

However, and after some frustration, if you copy the chart, goto MS Word, and right click, the options to paste as a linked object pretty much most of the time do not appear....?  Say 1 in 20 or 30 attempts it will appear?

 

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanx in advance...

 

:)

hi everyone i have a quandary with conversion between word and word pad documents

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:32 PM PDT

 

Hello everyone  

 

I am running an Acer Aspire with Office 2007 on XP

 

I alternate between this and an older Mitac computer, running Windows 2000 which has wordpad  not word.

 

When I save documents in wordpad I choose rich text format although there are other formats.

 

When I transport the files back onto the Acer and Word the text runs past the desirable margins on screen and on page. i.e When I print them they come up in print preview as running over the printable area of the page.

 

I can cure this by doing a

 

select all

 

cut

 

paste special

 

using the unformatted text option.

 

With this the text is then back within desirable page margins … but I don't want to do this as I lose bold areas and presumably other formatting I would like to retain. 

 

Well if I were to methodically investigate help menus about margins etc over a period of time, perhaps considerable time, I would sort it. Are then any suggestions so that I can short circuit this niggling problem.

 

The reason to alternate to the second laptop is convenience…

 

Its set up in lounge, other laptop in bedroom… I am trying to write continuously through the day and get a book completed… so every convenience helps.

 

Thank you, from Simon Overall in New Zealand, the bottom end of the world. When you reply tell me where you are… the world out there fascinates me.

how do I add numbers from two different columns?

Posted: 04 Oct 2004 12:25 PM PDT


Ben,
All you need to do is set up a custom field with a formula that add the
two other fields (columns). Go to Tools/Customize/Fields and, depending
on what type of data you are using (i.e. cost, duration, number, etc.)
pick a spare field (e.g. Number1 if the columns to be added are integer
or floating point values) and hit the "formula" button on the Customize
Fields windows. Then just set up the formula you want. For example,
Number1 = [Number2] + [Number3].

Note that the formula will apply to all task rows, not just a single
task and you will need to select the appropriate roll up formula for
Summary rows on the Customize Fields window.

Hope this helps.

You have a couple of choices. You can set up an Enterprise Global calendar
in Project Server if you are using that and want your celndar to be avaiable
to all the PMs developing projects, or, if you're not yet using server,
create a calendar (I'd suggest using a copy of the Standard calendar so you
retain the master, although you could edit the Standard if you wish) in the
current project file, could even be a blank project, that shows all the

Posted: 02 Oct 2004 08:44 PM PDT

Don't know about other products but this is not a feature of MS Project.
Activity on Arrow diagramming is falling into disuse these days anyway.

There is no default method within Project Server to automatic the processing
of task updates into each project plan. The closest that you can come to
automation is for each project manager to create one or more Rules in
Project Web Access, but the PM must still click the Run Rules Now button to
process the updates. Hope this helps.

Setting resource %

Posted: 01 Oct 2004 06:42 AM PDT

Adding a bit to Julie's excellent answer ... I'm a believer that the
resource's calendar should reflect the hours that they are "on the property"
as they used to call it in the old railroad days, i.e., physically present.
So a full-time employee would have an 8 hour a day calendar, assuming
typical working conditions. A part-time working 4 hours per day would have
a calendar reflecting a 4-hour workday, etc. If a full timer was only
available to the project 4 hours a day, their calendar would still show 8
hours but their maximum availability would be 50%. This shows that in each
workday they will accomplish up to a maximum of 4 man-hours work on my
project but I'm going to let them organize their own workday and decide for
themselves which hours during the day they're going to do project stuff and
which hours will be spent on other things.

Also note, Project will never change the duration estimate for a task with
the first resource assignment, regardless of the percentage you specify. It
assumes that whatever percentage you say the resource will be working at,
that was what you had in mind when you came up with the initial duration
estimate. So a 4-day task will stay at 4 days whether you assign the
resource to it 100%, 50%, 25%, or what have you. At that first assignment
the work is calculated. If you then *modify* the assignment later, the
duration, work, or effort will get recalculated based on the task type
settings.

Hi JR:

If you look at the posting volumes, you would see they're up by between 2
and ten times. And nearly 90 per cent of the posts are coming from the
'officeformac.com' server.

So I would gently suggest that Microsoft has made a massive improvement
already: these groups are now around ten times more successful than they
ever have been in delivering help to users.

Yeah, there's a few issues. But as a grumpy old UseNet die-hard, you are
used to living in an imperfect world. If you could be bothered to point
Newswatcher at the originating Usenet server for these groups, you would get
a much more complete picture :-)

Grumpy Old Man!! You're worse than me :-)

Cheers

Product key on Student Office

Posted: 01 Mar 2008 09:44 PM PST

Thanks to both John and Diane,

We have found the problem, it seems to be a conflict between my laptop and my daughter - same product ID in info window. (Therefore we must have deleted the app from the old computer). How do we know which product ID goes with which key and how do we delete and reinstall one of them? I see somewhere there is Remove Office, but I can't seem to find it on my computer. We are running Office:Mac Student/Teacher edition, There is no year listed anywhere.

Office 2004 compatibility with 2007

Posted: 29 Feb 2008 06:01 AM PST

I don't think that's the case at all.

The beta converters were released while the development of 2008 was ongoing.
Things change during development & MacBU has only a certain amount of
resources available. Excel was one of the later apps to evolve & there was
most likely a significant change that made the earlier converter cease to
work. Since other options were already available from a number of sources
I'm sure MacBU decided to devote their resources to getting the 2008 product
out as best they could rather than throwing manpower & money at a new
interim beta converter for Excel. If that's *at all* the case, IMHO, they
did the right thing.

Nobody is being "forced" to upgrade to 2008 - there are plenty of options
for you to choose from. Quite frankly, MS' intention to provide 2004 with
*foreward* compatibility is virtually unprecedented in the software
industry - especially where such a radical transition in both application
coding *and* file format has occurred... Often you can't even expect to
retain *backward* compatibility.

As far as I'm concerned MacBU should be commended for their efforts to
provide the update in 2004 rather than being accused of coersion - even if
there is a wait involved.

I guess because it does not show updates to itself :-) It is showing you

Re-installing Office due to Hard drive failure?

Posted: 28 Feb 2008 11:21 PM PST

You need to get an Installation CD from somewhere. It doesn't matter where.

Your parents can email you the key and you can use it to install from any
disk.

Once you have the key, Microsoft Australia will sell you a replacement disk
for about 30 bucks.

Hope this helps

Compress feature for pictures in a word file

Basically, because this functionality is not important in the Mac market.

As soon as you begin to discuss printing and graphics, you get into the
space that the Macintosh "owns". The majority of the flashy graphics and
beautiful typography that you see, anywhere in the world, is done on a Mac.

Mac users in that space are professional, skilled, and demanding.

The crude tools offered in Windows for corporate cube-dwellers (who are
generally not very focussed on appearance or presentation) are not of value
on the Mac.

Mac users normally have advanced image and typography applications capable
of the meticulous and exacting workflows they use. On the Mac, users expect
to have each image at the size, shape and colour standard they will use
BEFORE they insert it into the output workflow.

Everything you put into software costs money: and on the Mac, this kind of
thing simply wouldn't be used. It's not good enough to do the job a Mac
user expects. Better to leave it out, and concentrate Microsoft's money on
things Mac users DO require, such as ligatures and Open Type fonts.

Those will be used, and will add value to Office on the Mac. Crude
image-editing won't.

Which is not going to stop me from asking for it, either :-) I am a
"Windows at Work, Mac at Home" user. And I work almost entirely to
electronic output. High-quality image editing is not a driver for me (I
can't draw a cheque...). So I will continue to pursue Microsoft about this.
But you can take it from me that this is about 500th on their list of
"things to do" on a Mac :-)

Cheers

You may need to use some other form of trickery. Such as, change to font
size on all, or part, of the page you need to fit more text on. Or, if you
are using a lot of white space, eliminate some of it.

There doesn't seem to be a "fix" for your problem, but work-arounds are

4.5a error

Posted: 18 May 2005 10:20 AM PDT

Hi Rodney,
Ever since 4.5a, MS seemed to have degraded the usefulness of Works. After
going through ver 5, 6, 7 and being disappointed I decided to get Office
Pro. Each ver after 4.5a seemed to try to emulate Office anyway.
In Excel the Pivot table seems closest to Wks db report. I also have
imported Excel into Access and then used that for a report. Definitely not
as fast or easy as Works4.5a.
Keep up the good work. You and Kevin are the only ones left from the earlier
group, ie, Omar, Mark, Andrea and of course "David".
Cheers. JohnS.

WS 2005 SS - Font Size does not recognize CR

Thanks for responding.

But you do not need to do the whole SS.

I am able to change a single cell by selecting and then right-clicking
and selecting Format and then Font tab and then typing in the font size
change desired.

But trying the straight-forward top of page approach does not work when
I input the font by keyboard and CR.

Does any one know what is broken or what?

Rennie,
As a user of Office Pro, you have two mail clients installed on your
computer - Outlook (a more robust client), which is a part of Office, and
Outlook Express, which is a part of the Windows Operating System. Removing
Works will not remove either of your mail clients.
