Ken,

You phrased my question better than I did, thank you. I should have asked,
how do I move spreadsheets/templates from one computer to another and
register them correctly.

I like your suggestion ken, I'll give it a try.

Time and Formulas

Posted: 05 Oct 2005 04:46 AM PDT

Hi John,

The essential difference between the two times that you show is that they
occur on two different days! Therefore you should add 1 day to the result
from any subtraction of the two, and then the answer becomes 2 minutes.

Times alone are not fully declared values until they also possess a DATE
attribute (days past since Dec 31st 1899)

See for yourself:

In cell A1, type the TIME value 23:59

In cell B1, type the TIME value 00:01

In cell C1, type the formula = 1 + B1-C1
which gives the answer, in DAYS, of 0.0013889.

To see this as HOURS, in cell D1 place the formula = C1*24
which gives the answer, in HOURS, of 0.0333333

For MINUTES, in cell E1 place the formula = D1*60
which gives the answer, in MINUTES, of 2 ( Use ROUND, if necessary).

Or,

You could place this formula in Cell C1, to directly calculate the
difference,
in minutes, between two start and finish times ( less than 24 hours
apart ).

=((B2<A2)+(B2-A2))*24*60

The TRUTH statement (B2<A2) determines whether the times span across
two days, and adds 1 day if they do.

Use the fully delared time ( Date + Time ) to calculate difference over a
number
of days.

Again,

In A1, type a date, say 1/1/2001
In B1, type a time for that day, say 08:57

In C1, type a date. say 2/2/2002
In D1, type a time for that day, say 06:23

Now,
In E1, type the formula = A1+B1, giving 36892.373
In F1, type the formula = C1+D1, giving 37289.266

In F1, type the formula = (F1-E1)*24, giving 9525.4333
This is the number of hours and part hours separating the two instances.

=INT(G1) shows the number of whole hours that have past, 9525
=MOD(G1,1)*60 shows the MINUTES value to be aded to the whole
hours, this is given as 26 minutes.

Therefore,the difference is 9525.433 hours or 9525 hour and 26 minutes.

HTH,

Will VLookup look over it's shoulder?

Posted: 05 Oct 2005 02:21 AM PDT

G'day Kevin,
the obvious flew into my face, just after I posted.
I just added a column on LHS
with the formula "=E1"
which copies the out of order column into place

I just paste the block into cell B1 voila!

I thought having two instances of the same name
in two columns may cause conflict, but it works like a charm.

Cheers, friend.

Works 8.0 Calendar problem

I got it working!!!

Thanks for the lead, Eric. In my case, the wkcalcat.dat file was ok, but I
noticed that the CalMRU.dat file was suspiciously small at 0k. So I just
decided to delete CalMRU.dat. Then I tried to launch Calendar again, and hey
presto, everything works fine again. MSWorks automatically created a new
CalMRU.dat file of size 1k.

------------

Q: Why do the templates I created using earlier versions
of Works not show up after I upgrade?

A: You need to upgrade your existing templates.

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Programs, and then click Microsoft Works.
2. In the Works Task Launcher, click the Programs tab.
3. Click the program in which your Works templates
were created (ie: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, or
Database).
4. Click Start a Blank <program name.>
5. On the File menu, click Open.
6. Switch to the drive or folder where the template
is located and double-click the template name.
The default location for templates created in
Works 2000 is:
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Template
The default location for templates created in
Works 4.5a or earlier is:
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Documents.
7. On the File menu, click Save As.
8. In the Save As dialog box, click Template.
The Save As Template dialog appears.
9. Type a name for the template, and click OK.
Works 8 saves the Works Word Processor template you created in:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Template
Works 8 saves the Works Spreadsheet and Works Database template you
created in:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\Template

------------

Q: How do I set up Works 8 on my computer without removing
Works 2000?

A: Microsoft recommends not to run different versions of
Works on the same computer. Works 8 will automatically
remove any older versions of Works when you install Works 8.

------------

Q: Can I install individual programs from Works 8?

A: No. Due to the high level of integration offered in
Works 8, all of the standard programs (Database,
Calendar, Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Portfolio,
and Works Task Launcher) are installed together.

------------

Q: Why can't I find my files from Works 4.5 or earlier?

A: The files may be stored in a folder other than the one in
which you are looking.

In Windows XP Professional or Home Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button and click on
Search.
2. Click All files and folders.
3. In the All or part of the file name box, type all or
part of the file name you are looking for.
4. Click Search
5. Double-click the file name.

In Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Millennium Edition,
or Windows 98 Second Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to Find,
and then click Files or Folders.
2. In the Named box, type all or part of the file name
that you are looking for.
3. Click Find Now.
4. Double-click the file name.

NOTE: For Works 8, Works 7.0, Works 6.0 and Works 2000,
the default directory is My Documents. The default directory
for previous versions of Works is
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Documents.

------------

Q: Do I have to convert my existing Works files after I
install Works 8?

A: No. You do not need to convert your Word Processor,
Database and Spreadsheet files created in Works 4.0 or later
to another format to open them using Works 8.

The information in your existing Works Calendar will be
automatically upgraded to Works 8.

You do not need to convert your Address Book from Works 2000
or later to use it with Works 8.

Microsoft recommends that you convert your address book
from Works 4.5a or earlier version to the new Address Book. By
moving your old address book information to the Address Book,
you can access your data not only from the Word Processor
but also from the Calendar and Outlook Express.

To convert your address book information from Works 4.5a or earlier
to the new Address Book:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Programs, then click Microsoft Works.
2. In the Works Task Launcher, click the Programs tab.
3. Click Address Book.
4. Click Address Book converter.
5. Click Start.


------------

Q: After I upgrade to Works 8, can I share files with
people using earlier versions of Works?

A: Yes.

The Works Word Processor and Spreadsheet let you
save files in the formats that earlier versions of Works support.
To save a file in an earlier Works format,
1. From within the program, click on File menu,
2. Click on Save As...
3. In the dialog that oppears, select the file format you want to save in.

This is the recommended way to save a spreadsheet
or word procesor document for use in Works 4.x/2000 formats.
Word processor documents may lose some formatting when
saving as an earlier Works format.

You can also open a Works 8 spreadsheet directly in
Works 2000, but you need to complete the Import Excel
Spreadsheet dialog. Your charts and formatting will not
be preserved.

You can directly open Database files created in Works 8
in earlier versions of Works.

------------

Q: If I remove a program from the Works Task Launcher, how
can I get it back?

A: If you removed a Works program such as the Word Processor,
Spreadsheet, Database, or Calendar, you must reinstall
Works for it to appear in the Works Task Launcher.

For Microsoft Suite programs such as Microsoft Money,
Microsoft Encarta, or Microsoft Picture It, reinstall the
Works Suite. Make sure you select the Express Full option
to automatically install all Works Suite programs.

------------

Q: While using Works, some of my toolbar buttons appear as
blank boxes at the top of the screen. How can I fix this?

A: This is a known issue with machines that have a 3D ATI
Rage Pro Video Card installed, however this problem may
occur on machines with other video cards installed as well.
To remedy this problem you must turn off the hardware
acceleration on your video card.

Follow these steps to disable your hardware acceleration
on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium
Edition or Windows 2000:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Settings and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Display icon.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click the Advanced button.
5. Click the Performance tab.
6. Next to Hardware acceleration, point to the slider
and then click and hold the mouse while you drag the
slider as far to the left as it will go. It should
appear next to None.

Follow these steps to disable your hardware acceleration
on Windows XP Home or Professional Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Click Switch to Classic View on the sidebar if you're
in Category View.
3. Double-click the Display icon.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. Click the Advanced button.
6. Click the Troubleshoot tab.
7. Next to Hardware acceleration, point to the slider
and then click and hold the mouse while you drag the
slider as far to the left as far as it will go. It
should appear next to None.

NOTE:

When you engage in other tasks that will require
hardware acceleration, such as playing games,
repeat the steps above to restore the hardware
acceleration back to Full. Failure to do so will
result in poor game display performance.

Works 8.0 Calander Error on opening

Thanks for the tip, Kevin. I downloaded the MDAC checker program from the

I got it fixed by deleting the CalMRU file in C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works folder.

Maybe if you come across anyone else with this problem, if none of the other
standard resolutions are effective, and if their CalMRU file is 0kB, they
might try deleting it (or backing it up by moving it to a different folder)
and launch Calendar to see if that works.

How do I remove the extra space created by the paragraph mark.

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 01:11 PM PDT

How do I remove the extra space added to the end of a line created by the paragraph mark? For example I want to create a bar code in MS Word 2010 but the bar code has 5 characters. When I highlight that line to change the font, it ends up highlighting 6 characters; the 5 I wanted plus the space at the end. I don't want the space at the end. Can this be done? I've attached a picture so you can see the space that I'm talking about. Once again I just want to be able to highlight my 5 characters without that extra space to change the font and continue working on this project.  Thanks.

How can I remove spaces between rows of tables in Microsoft Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 11:02 AM PDT

I am building templates using cells to guide text entry, and when I am building these documents, every time I try to add rows to my table, I am seeing very large gabs between rows.

When I insert new rows in the table, my new row and some existing rows jump to a whole new page as if I had inserted some kind of section break, even though I have not.

I've looking into layouts, formatting, and any setting I can find my way into, but nothing seems to work.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of these awful spaces between cell rows in my table?  They cause my Rows to jump to the top of a whole new page.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide

When creating old barcode scanner sheets to Word 2010, a O (capital O?) is inserted after slash

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 08:56 AM PDT

We are currently in the process of updating our barcode separator sheets, and moving from Word 2003 to 2010.  When we type it in word 2010 the 'O' doesn't appear/show.  However, when we scan the printed new 2010 version, an 'O' appears right after the slash.

 

Example:

 

what is typed in *PREDEL/REVISIT*

 

What is displayed when scanned  PREDEL/OREVISIT

 

As you can see, it is adding an 'O' for some reason.

 

Any ideas??

Corrupted Word document (file size reduction and unable to open /word/document.xlm)

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 03:48 AM PDT

Hi,

The document that I was working on for several days became corrupted during saving. Last day, I hibernated the system and reopened it the next day to continue working and when I last save the document size reduced to ~700kb from ~6mb and Word was unable to open it. Whem I try to re-open the document following message pops up;

 

"Unexpected end of input
Location: Part: /word/document.xlm, Line: 2, Column: 12519"

 

As described on several webpages, I changed the extension to *.zip (and also tried *.rar) to get access to the xml files inside to alter  designated lines, however the document.xml cannot be opened. I was able to rescue only few of the figures inside the document.

 

In the autosave folder, there seems to be no backup of the document although autosave was on. Furthermore, I did a deep scan using a several commercial and freeware programs to see whether there are files to rescue and this did not yield any thing. Moreover, the system scan did not find any bad sectors on the hard drive.

 

Could you please recommend me any other solutions?


If such a system exists, would it be possible to contact Microsoft tech support directly for this matter by sending the document?

 

Many thanks!

Inserted text goes AWOL

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 12:26 AM PDT

I am trying out the technique of replacing the concept of a Master Document with inserting sub-documents (as links) into a main document.

However, when I insert another document much of it goes missing.  Firstly, the text appears overwriting the header:

 

 

 

You can just see the header (in grey) in between the two top paragraphs.  Then it overwrites the footer and does not continue on the next page.

 

 

You can just make out the page number above the words ... only used ...

 

What is causing this and how do I fix it?

 

Thanks

 

 

Office Word: sub or function not defined

Posted: 29 Aug 2013 12:02 AM PDT

Hi guys, 

I am wondering if any of you ran into the following problem and by any chance knows how to solve it. Thanks in advance. 

I tried MS 2007, 2010, 2013, and following Symptoms apply to all versions:
1)  when I open and close MS Word, a dialogue box pops up and says "sub or function not defined" 
2) copy and paste functions don't work, whenever I try to copy or past, the message in 1) pops up again

It has been bothering me in the past couple month and I am wondering if anyone can save me from re-installing the entire windows system! 

Thanks again!

Items not being found and replaced

My Word document consists of contact data collected from websites.  These are realtors I am working with currently.  Most of the contacts have the two digit state code, another three letters, the number sign (#), then the license number.  How do I delete this entire bit of text starting with the state code?    What I have tried is entering the state code and three letters and the asterisk in the Find dialog, in the replacement box nothing.  Ex. CA DRE*. I get the message back saying no replacements have been made.  What do I need to do?

Cannot locate where the file location is for 'My Templates', word 2010. C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates does not take me to the right location

Posted: 28 Aug 2013 09:00 PM PDT

A long time ago I added some macro templates I made specifically for my company. I saved them in the file location where when an associate selected My Template they would activate the dialogue box which listed the templates saved in that location.

I've researched this all afternoon and the file path which is most commonly mentioned (C:\Users...... Roaming\Microsoft\Templates) is not the correct location. 

Please see the printscreen below which will detail the location where I want the folder. 

All advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Windows XP Pro SP3 - Word 2003 - Slow when clicking File > Open

Yes, you can use a single resource pool. All project files point to
same file holding the resources. Fully discussed in Help and in most
book on Project. Best you read it about it there rather try to repeat here.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

It is my understanding of the standard academic license for Microsoft
products do not permit upgrades. I presume this enforced in software. I
don't have it to check for you. Best you read the EULA for other
restrictions that may get in you way.

I gotta mention, though, that even though on your home computer, you are
still when you install the software agreeing to licensing terms.

Hi,

another option is to save the plan as a WebPage - this is included as part
of the version of MSProject we use at work. Using this you can filter to
display only the columns (or rows) that will be interest to those needing
read only access. To do this, Save as Webpage and follow the steps in the

Lnking to give a latest start date

Posted: 28 Oct 2004 03:17 PM PDT

I guess it must be the overall complexity of the plan I am doing.

I have basically seven units each having the essentially the same activities
and logic with the units being sequential. There are three different
contractors working on a unit. One contrator's (c1) work is such that it can
start at the start of the outage or any time up to a period where if the work
starts any later it would not finish no later than 3 weeks before the start
of another contractor's (c2) work on that unit.

Using the method described, leaves the start activity for C1's work at the
earliest possible start time, but if I change it to sart as late as possible
it then works back from the end of the project which can be six units away
and the start of C1's work for a unit ends up years away from where it should
be. The activity needs to start as late as possible in respect only of that
unit not the whole project.

Hence the reason why I have installed a 3 week lag behind the start of the
relevant activity for c2 on the unit, plus the overall duration of c1's work
to give me the latest start date. Where I would then need to modify the lag
is if on subsequent units the durations drop through efficiencies and better
processes then the start date for c1 could change accordingly and I would
then need to re do the duration of c1's work. Basically I want the start of
C2's activity to 'push' the last activity of c1 back 3 weeks from it's start,
and then all the previous activities for c1 would then 'push' back to give
the latest start date.

I am sure I have done it in Projectview, and I certainly used to do it on
tracing paper back in the seventies.

It could be done using each unit as a project plan in it's own right and
then creating a master submaster plan, but have had difficulties with that
method where the plan is on the clients server, but then download it to my
laptop and work on the plan from elsewhere then try to replace the plan back
on the server. Or the client changes the directory for parts of the plan.
either way the links get lost and confused, so I have settled for one plan
for all the units.

As I understand the process of assigning "As late as possible" on a task it
calculates the start date from the end of the project date and not from the
next task.

It has me baffled still. I did try as you suggested and in the predecessor
for T1 put T2FS-21d but that did not shift T2 forward, but rather left it
some weeks prior to the start of T1.

Regards
