word 2013 table of content is including page number of the next item as the "topic" name...

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 03:01 PM PDT

This is such a weird problem, I'll just try to show you want I'm seeing rather than describe it:. Here's a few lines from a Table of Contents:

 

5.5   Topic a ................................................. 17

5.6   Topic b ................................................. 18

        Topic c ................................................. 19

5.7   19

        Topic d ................................................. 21

5.8   21

5.9   Topic e .................................................. 23

 

It's a really large document, and all the topics in the TOC before and after this weird part are formatted correctly.

 

I've tried just about everything I know, but I can't get those particular topics to appear in the TOC correctly.

 

And I've been editing this document for several months (it's documentation for a large dev project), and this problem only appeared today.

 

Ideas?

Word and Excel 2010 crash on exit with files opened from internet locations

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 02:10 PM PDT

I have a windows xp machine with office 2010. Word and Excel are crashing on exit when I open a file from an internet location. If I save the file to the computer and then open it, it opens and closes fine. I have tried a repair installation as well as disabling the add-ins and that did not work. 

Office 2008 for Mac error, "Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use."

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 01:15 PM PDT

I have had Office 2008 for mac installed on my MacBook Pro and Imac for at least three years and run Entourage, Word, etc. simultaneously, that is, Entourage on both systems. The Office 2008 version I have allows you to use Office on two computers. I have just one Product Key. Yesterday, I got the error message" Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use." I have done nothing to change my systems except remove the MacBook Pro battery temporarily while I get a new one. Help! What has happened? What can I do to get Office to run on both systems simultaneously again? Many thanks for help!

Stamps.com Incompatible w/ Office 2013?

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:42 PM PDT

Hi Folks...

 

I wanted to reach out on behalf of a friend who is a business user of Word... I'm a developer and an MS loyalist so he sent me an aggravated email complaining that his Office 365 account, as I understand it, was "upgraded" to 2013 and now he can no longer use his stamps.com subscription.  As I don't use stamps.com or (yet) 2013 I'm at a loss as to what to suggest... 

Anyone out there know anything about this?  I'd like to help him out if I can... thanks in advance for any input.

2 problems with office 2007 in windows 8

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:38 PM PDT

I have installed MS Office 2007 on a Samasung Chronos 7 i7 running Windows 8. I have 2 problems (I suspect unrelated) that I cannot solve via web / help / user forums /google etc. Any help from you guys would be highly appreciated.

1) I cannot use MS Office Help - the toggle button showing me as offline refuses to switch to online. Opening "Windows Help & Support" shows me offline, even tho I have FF open. The msg is "You're not connected to the Internet. To get online Help, which shows you the latest help content, you need to be connected to the Internet. Check your Internet connection. If you still see this message, the online Help service might be temporarily unavailable. Try to connect again later." I can run MS Ofiice Diagnostics - no problems until it wishes to go online & I am told i) my computer is not connected to the internet (it is) or ii) access to server may be blocked.  I SUSPECT it is this latter msg that is relevant - - this is my laptop & I have admin rights: I suspect when I was setting it up when I first received it, that I incorrectly ticked / unticked  a crucial access point/command, thus denying automatic access to eg Word Help online. I have been through allmy settings & cannot find obvious block - but any advice here would be appreciated

2) With straightforward installation of MS Office 2007 Home and Student onto above machine, I find I can no longer click on eg a word.docx in file manager & have it open directly - I get the msg - "There was a problem while sending the command to the programme". Again - any help appreciated

Many thanks

Word 2013 opening pdf only in picture format???

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:33 PM PDT

I've now scanned several text documents on several different scanners to .pdf.  I want to open the .pdf in Word 2013 and be able to edit the text, which is supposedly a feature of the new MS Office suite.  However, every time that I go to open the .pdf in Word 2013 it opens as a picture and all I can do is move it around the page or resize.  Is there a setting that I am missing?

Word 2013 problem on Windows 7 - screen breaks up

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:21 PM PDT

Hi all,

This is the first time I post here so hope this question hasn't already been asked. I did go through the previous posts on Word '13 but didn't find anything covering my issue.

Here is the thing. I started using Word 2013 a few days ago on my Windows 7, and there was immediately weird stuff happening. Take a look.
 

Below the text, the page just started showing up weird writings in funny locations. I tried Ctrl-Z but the broken screen just stayed there.

Take a look at another example. This happened after I started the same document from scratch. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have updated Office to be up-to-date.

I have a newsletter layout with two asymmetrical columns. I want the smaller column to not be included in the flow of the type in the larger column.

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:12 PM PDT

The smaller column is for unrelated notes and listings.  How do I make that happen?  I have tried to put a text box in the smaller column and anchor it, but as soon as I put text in the larger column it moves the text box and fills in the smaller column, too.

 

How to delete an extra space between lines of text document

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 12:01 PM PDT

In 2003 Word, an extra space began to be created (I don't know what I did). The cursor jumps over this area, it can not be highlighted, or normally deleted. The problem is not adjusting the line spacing in the format toolbar. That is already set to a single space. Once before I found this problem caused by excessive header hight but this time it seem to be a different problem.

 

Thank for you reply

Unstable Tables

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 11:53 AM PDT

I've been trying to put tables into a Word 2013 document this week and it's not going well. The table is small & situated in the middle of a page. I set it up with a few rows and columns and start to manually enter text. With no warning (and plenty of room left) the table suddenly jumps off of one side of the page or the other. If I enter another character, it might jump back to its original size, or it might not. I can right-click the table to get to Table Properties and manually set the width of the table. Even if I've already set the width, entry into a random cell may cause the table to jump wide again. Back to properties, change by a 10th of an inch (either way) and the table returns.

 

This is ruining my productivity and it doesn't do much for my temper, either!

 

Is there a bug fix or another way I can set up a table without all the nonsense?

New Document automatic indent set wrong

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:42 AM PDT

When I open a new document in Word, for some reason the indent is set at 1" instead of 0".  I don't know when exactly it changed, or how, but it's been doing it for a very long time.  It started long after I had installed it on my computer and had been using it, though - not upon installation.  How do I change it back permanently so I don't need to keep changing it every time I open a new doc before I can start working?

Word 2007 TOC Hyperlinks

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 08:34 AM PDT

Hello.  I have several manuals that include Table of Contents. The page hyeprlink is there in the TOC, but I would like to make the entrie entry for each TOC line a hyperlink as the documents are for students with little or no computer savy.

 

I cannot do a manual link in the TOC entry becasue ti is discarded whenever the TOC si updated.  There are periodic changes to the documents, so a TOC update is necessary from tiem to time.

 

I also need to embed a link on each page of the document that will return students to the TOC if clicked.  I tried putting a button in the footer but there is no way to click the button without wewntering the footer.  Would appreciate any recommendations.

 

lastly, I generate PDF PRO documents that the students actually use based on the Word 2007 document.  I need the hyperlinks in the Word TOC to transfer as hyperlinks in Adobe PRO.

 

Would appreciate any suggestions you can offer.


Thanks much,

Harold Aaron

How find and fix broken xrefs?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 10:56 PM PDT

I have a longish document (100+ pages) with many cross-references in it.  Some of them are clearly broken, where "broken" means they don't generate the text that they should. For example, I currently have some text that refers to sections 2 and 2, but it should refer to sections 2 and 3. Expanding the fields generating the text with the section numbers yields the following:

{ REF _Ref349679295 \# 0 \n \h }

{ REF _Ref361235576 \# 0 \n \h }


It seems clear to me that these xrefs should refer to distinct locations, because the REF values are different.  But they both generate the text "2". 


My general desire is to have a reliable way to ensure that all my xrefs are generating the correct text.  (Yes, I've updated all the fields in my document by selecting all the text and then hitting F9.)  The second xref above is currently generating incorrect text ("2" instead of "3").


I assume that each of those REF values should correspond to some target location. How can I find the target location for each of them?  Can section 2 have two identical target values?


All my xrefs are based on Numbered Items.


Thanks for your help.

How search for text only within a particular style?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 08:40 PM PDT

I have a long document with many uses of both curly quotes (i.e., "...") and straight quotes ("..."), as well as both curly and straight apostrophes. I now find that I want to replace all the curly quotes with straight quotes, but only when the text is either in a particular paragraph style or a particular character style.  I assume this will require three search/replace commands, one for curly opening quotes, one for curly closing quotes, and one for curly apostrophes.  But I can't figure out how to tell Word to find matches only within text that's in a paragraph with a particular style or within text with a particular character style. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Using ask statements in Word 2010

PLEASE HELP. Extremely Slow Processing & Failure to Replace Text in Text Boxes

Endnote hyperlink (to exterior site) has included the paragraph symbol in the hyperlink formatting! Complex endnotes need help!

Hello again Brilliants,

The special (to OneNote page) hyperlink jumps right over an intervening regular hyperlink (to an exterior web page) and is part of the first hyperlink! Help!!! Here is a picture:

 

 

I had been trying to make the Paragraph symbol return to its natural state, just like all the others (over 170 now...), but if I do it removes the formatting of the first (light blue) hyperlink.  Obviously the light blue is continuing in the background... and is affected by my effort at changing Para to normal (and doing many other twisted things) but why?

 

Solve one problem, find another...

Hi ProjectNewUser,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I would have thought you'd do better having a project for each customer, as
then you can archive the finished projects without cluttering your current
ones. I suggest you create a pool file of the resources, one file for each
customer and in each project share the resources with the pool. Opening the
pool will then simpfly the creation of a master project which will overlook
all of them. Best to create a template file for new customers and run the
adjust_dates macro to reset the start date for each one. You have a lot of
learning to do! I have just written an article on consolidation of projects
for the next issue in a week or so. It is will be in the TechTrax ezine, at
this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc (Perhaps you'd care to rate it before
leaving the site, :) Thanks.)

Project time allocation calculated incorrectly

Posted: 12 Oct 2004 12:47 PM PDT

Hi Inbar

not sure about this ... if you change the max units of Mary in the Resource
sheet to 50% and assign her to a task and don't specify units project will
only assign her at 50% ... meaning that on a task with 16 hours duration
she will be assigned 8 hours of work.

Work is similarly calculated if you enter Mary into the resource sheet at
100% and assign her to a task at units = 50% ... she will be assigned 8
hours of work for a 16hr duration task.

However, if you enter her as max units of 100% but edit her calendar so she
is only "there" 4 hours per day and assign her to a task (don't enter units)
project will assign her the "full" amount of work (16hrs), will leave the
duration column alone but change the number of days coloured in on the Gantt
chart to double.

So going back to the original question - put
Mary in at 50% in the resource sheet
assign her to the 40hr duration task and project will assign only 20hrs work
.... over the 40hrs duration.
- to see this display the work column alongside the duration column
and also have a look at Mary in the Resource usage or task usage views.

Cheers

Deadline

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 09:17 PM PDT

Consider the simplest possible project - 1 single task. Your boss has given
you a deadline of this coming Friday to build 100 widgets. The most you
can build is 10 a day. How should Project schedule this task? What it does
is schedule it for 10 days, a week beyond the deadline, and alerts you that
unless you get some help, you're going to be in trouble with the boss. But
there's no way it can schedule the task to meet the deadline as input
because it's up to you as PM to figure out what strategy will make 20
widgets a day instead of only 10. Unless you do, meeting the deadline means
you'll only make half the required number of widgets and a project is not
complete with only half the entire deliverable requirement satisfied.

Import Production Schedule from Excel File!

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 09:35 AM PDT

An alternative is to import with the job# as the task name, machine# into a
spare text field, then use the grouping feature to "group by" and choose the
text field you have used for machine#. The machine # will show as a
heading - but it is not an actual summary task. You won't have to modify the
spreadsheet to do this.

As for the other fields, start should map to start, duration to duration (be
sure to include the appropriate units (ie: 3d or 3 days for the duration,
not just 3), job description can go into a text field or you could use it as
the name and put the job# in a text field.

Once you do this you can also group by the job description if you like so
you can see all the common jobs and the machines they are running on.

Variation of resources in one task over different time

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 07:57 AM PDT

Hi Jan

personally i'ld be tempted to split up the task - especially when the
"dryers" get involved - however, you can do what you're after by editing the
hours in the task usage view.

Add the task in at 5wks duration. Assign the resources (1 unit of both the
painter & dryer). Change the task type to fixed duration and untick effort
driven.

Switch into task usage view and edit the actual hours for each of the
resources, for example if i have an 8hr day then for the first week i would
edit each day to show 16hrs for the painters & 0hrs for the dryers.

Hope this helps

Can Project be configured to reflect start & end time

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 07:29 AM PDT

Gerard's answer is how to accomplish it, but with respect to the 24 hour
calendar I suggest you think it thru to make sure it really should apply.
The 24 hour calendar says that work on the tasks proceeds 24/7. It also
implies that once a task begins it doesn't "stand down" until it's
completed - the resources go 24/7 and don't sleep, eat, nap, see their
families, or do anything but work for how ever long it takes to finish the
task. Machines may work like that but people don't. If you have a painter
assigned to pain a room and it's going to take him 6 days to do it, he'll
probably go home in the evenings as it progresses. The 24 hour calendar
suggests that he'll work 48 hours solid until the painting is done, not very
likely.

Variation Duration

Posted: 11 Oct 2004 07:21 AM PDT

You can't have a 10-day task that is 50% done with 6 days actual duration.
% Complete refers to duration, not physical complete or work. When you have
done the work scheduled for the first 6 days of a task scheduled for 10
days, you're 60% done. You may be 90% physical complete or have only done
30% of the total work scheduled, but your % Complete is 60% by definition.
The only way it can be 50% after 6 days of working on it is if you revise
the duration by setting Remaining Duration to 6 days, thus revising the
total duration to 12 days.

The Duration Variance is stored in a field of that same name.

Would be better, yes.
 

The problem is, that quite some work needs to be done to continue to be
able to run on 98/ME. At the same time the team had a very lot to do to
support Vista and Mac OS... The choice is obvious and a good one, IMO.
 

There are some more alternatives out there. I think the idea is more
that only very few people really need the support on 98/ME any more. +
2.4.2 is still a very good program!
 

Of course you are free to do it yourself. If you really can (and team
members will be willing to give you the necessary pointers) it might
even be possible to include your work in the main stream version..

I suggest that you write to OOo (subscribe first) to get
explanation/support.

Posted: 04 Nov 2008 12:19 AM PST

Hi Marius please ask the oxygenoffice project, this is slightly
different project from the OpenOffice.org project.

[discuss] A text editor

Came this utterance fomulated by Douglas St.Clair to my mailbox:
 

I doubt that is the situation here. I have yet to see the Office Suite
that has syntax highlighting beyond the little bit offered in Writer/Web
HTML View.
 

http://www.openoffice.org/
"OpenOffice.org the free and open productivity suite"

http://about.openoffice.org/index.html
Mission statement
"To create, as a community, the leading international office suite..."

http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/suites/FX101677751033.aspx
"The 2007 Microsoft Office suites"
"The productivity tools you need to create great-looking documents,
spreadsheets and presentations, and manage e-mail."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_suite
"In computing, an office suite, sometimes called an office software
suite or productivity suite is a software suite intended to be used by
typical clerical worker and knowledge workers."

Yes i added the word "general" myself, bite me ;)
 

But the philosophy behind a syntax highlighting text editor is
significantly different to an Office Productivity Suite, general or not.

Daiya - Shame on you for reading all those negative inferences into my
simple statement of fact;-)... But it does seem odd that the Sys Reqs for
2004 are posted on [two thirds of] the same page as those for 2008 when you
can't find another reference to the former version elsewhere on the site
(other than updater downloads).

How to use 2004 as default?

Posted: 14 Mar 2008 08:08 PM PDT

No, sorry, you can't do this.

I say it is a bug: Office 2008 silently declares itself to be the default
application for all of the file types any time one of the O2008 applications
runs.

We have asked Microsoft if there is a work-around, but I suspect we may be
told "This is by design" :-)

What about Publisher and Frontpage??

Posted: 13 Mar 2008 08:03 PM PDT

Because they're not good enough :-)

I'm a *current* PC user as well as a Mac user.

Publisher can't get anywhere near Adobe CS3 in terms of functionality and
refinement.

FrontPage can't keep up with DreamWeaver on the Mac. Expression Web would
be competitive with DreamWeaver, depending on what you want to do. But not
FrontPage.

Spanish update for Office 2008 still not showing up...

Just Microsoft Office -- I hope :-)

They would only post and then "pull" an update if it caused some fairly
catastrophic problem. But as far as I am aware, the death and injury should
be confined to Microsoft Office.

Install Office 2008 and 2004 at the same time?

Loren wrote: 
Not quite following you, Loren--what part of their website? This is
what I see:
http://endnote.com/support/en_wpchart_mac.asp

They specifically say that you can unformat citations in your docs with
Word 2004 and then use the Format Paper method with Word 2008. I'm not
sure whether you mean something different?

The EndNote plug-in is certainly not compatible with Word 2008, at all,
at present--but the EndNote plug-in/toolbar/CWYW is a convenience. It is
not absolutely required to make use of EndNote's bibliographic
management features, it is just easier. Even without the plug-in, you
can continue to use EndNote with Word 2008, but it requires some
adjustments to your workflow. So it may depend on what you mean by
compatible. :-)

Good question. I just checked and my updated MAU was still updated.

Word Doc

You can't solve this problem.

If they can "read" it, they can "re-type" it (or copy-paste it...).

So there's nothing you can do to prevent them from changing it. If you save
from Word PC, you can attach a digital signature. But if you do, they will
not be able to read it on the Mac.

I think you will simply have to trust them :-)

What *I* do is print three copies of my resume and take it to the interview
with me.

Head-hunters ALWAYS fiddle around with the resume, no matter how many times
you tell them not to. And usually screw up the formatting when they do.
Which is the kiss of death if you are applying for roles that require expert
Word use, such as a technical writer role :-)

Take your own copies to the interview, and hand it to the interviewers :-)
