Posted: 21 Sep 2013 01:31 PM PDT

Hello and Namaste !


I have a HCL make ME M74 laptop with 32 bit windows7 ultimate, bought in preloaded state.
For last few days the icons of all micrsoft-office files (that is MS office 2007) have changed  to identical squar box with six squar spots inside. And Since then I am not in a position to open any of the Microsoft-office-word documents. Everytime I try to open, I get an error message as below

"C\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\wwLIB.DLL is either not
designed to run on Windows or it contain an error. Try installing the
program again using the original installation media or contact your
system administrator or the software vendor for support".

Can any one help please ? ... I dont have CD for microsoft OS or MS office etc as those came in preloaded state...Also I am not an expert in all these computer matters. so please explain me little easy way if you want to say something.

Very best wishes

Microsoft office stopped working

I continue to have the MS Office stopped working error when I try to open older versions of MS word.  I currently have 2013.  Working in safe mode still does not seem to fix the issue.  I looked on all the previous solutions and nothing seems to work.  Below; you will find the application error msg.   Is there anyone that can assist?

How can I mix 2-column formatting with footnotes within a document that also contains two single columns?

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 11:56 AM PDT

Word 2010 is unexpectedly inserting a page break and upsetting my desired layout when I add footnotes.  I have a two page Word 2010 document that is laid out as follows:
  • It has a single column header.
  • Below the header it has a two-column layout.  Text within these two columns contains footnotes that appear at the bottom of each page.
  • The second page needs another single-column section below the two column area.
Below the two columns, I have a photograph that stretches the entire width of the second page.  I would like this document to be exactly two pages in length.  I've been able to get it to two pages with the photo with the condition that I do not apply any footnotes to the second page.  This is unacceptable, as I need to provide the footnotes to text on the second page.

For formatting, I'm using Continuous Section Break elements, as prescribed in other posts.  To replicate this same behavior with one page, follow these steps.

Step 1:  Open Word 2010 and type the text below.
Top

Column 1

Column 2

Bottom


Step 2:  Highlight all the text via Ctrl+A and select "No Spacing" on the Home tab.  Also, while in the Home tab turn on the Paragraph button so you can see the formatting indicators in the document.

Step 3:  Now highlight just "Column 1" and "Column 2".

Step 4:  Select Page Layout > Columns > Two.


Now you will see the desired layout, where all four sections appear on the same page.  After "Top" you should see "Section Break (Continuous)" and after "Column 2" you will also see "Section Break (Continuous)".  So far so good.


Step 5:  Place your cursor beside Column 1. Then select References > Insert Footnote.


You now have a two page document.  Scroll down and you will see "Bottom" at the top of the second page.  I did not expect this text to move to a second page.  First, it wastes a huge block of space on Page 1.  Second, I never inserted a "Section Break (Next Page)".


Be that as it may, how can I work around this problem? Can I insert a table with invisible borders? Or do I just need to break out Notepad and write some HTML to achieve the desired result?  Thanks for your help.

Problem opening documents.

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 11:29 AM PDT

Purchased new computer about 8 mos. ago. It had Office 2010 Starter Edition on it--thought we were good to go. Now all the documents turned orange and we can't open them. We are being prompted to buy Office 2010 Pro for $99 per year. We already have a disc with Windows Office XP Pro complete with key. We were told at the store that since we had already bought this, we didn't need to buy it again. We could install it on the new computer. But I didn't uninstall the 2010 one, so all the documents are in that, and I don't know how to get them into the old program now, or if that is possible. We can "try" the new program free for a month, and then they will open, but I don't know if we can then reformat them into the XP program, or if both will work on the computer at the same time. If I can't get this question answered here, I will do one of two things: Call my computer whiz brother or take it back to the store and let one of their guys figure it out. Any suggestions? Don't like being held hostage like this!

How do I cancel printing in word 2013? Read the responses on Word 2010 but didn't work. Any help appreciated.

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 11:11 AM PDT

Changing file associations for Office 2013

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 10:37 AM PDT

I recently installed a Click-to-run version of Office 2013 Pro on W7, which works well most of the time. I also have Office 2003 installed, and a recent (not the latest) update seems to have fouled up my file associations. This is what my Word associations look like now, for example:



It's not just the associations: the icons and filetypes don't look right, either. There's no executable for the Office 15 programs, so I can't use the Change program... function.

How can I correct these to ensure that the Open command will invoke the Office 2013 version of the program for all Office files?

I want to be able to use Office 2003 programs since I find it easier to collaborate with others using pre-2007 versions.



I can't open my files

When I try to open a Word document I get a message that says I have to activate my Office software. It says I need to insert my product key again (this software has been on my computer for 3 years). When I re-insert the product key, it says the key is invalid. Any help would be awesome!!!

Follow number on Heading1 of a list style with a newline character (Word)

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 09:55 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using list styles in a doc. I selected just the number to show it up in a larger font than the text following the number. However, I would like to include a newline character after the number so that the text is in the next line. I came across the option of "Follow with" in the list style but it doesnot have a newline option. Any ideas on how this can be done? BTW, I still need that text to be part of the Heading1 style so that it gets included in the TOC with the number in a different style as per TOC1. The TOC is meeting my expectations so far, though.

Thanks

Office Starter 2010 changed format of stored files both on hard drive and USB drives

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 06:26 AM PDT

I have office starter 2010 pre installed on my Gateway Computer which I have used for almost a year.  Recently, the system changed all my stored files to files which can't be opened in the normal manner. Files can be opened by

Microsoft Application Visulation DDE Launcher.

How can I go back to the way they were previously stored?

Office Click-to-Run 2010 doesn't work

Posted: 21 Sep 2013 03:51 AM PDT

I have Office Starter 2010 pre-installed on my computer and some time ago it stopped working. When I try to open either Word or Excel the usual dialog box pops up that says something along the lines of starting Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (it's not in English but that's the general meaning) and it just stays like that forever. That box stays open until I close it manually by terminating cvh.exe on task manager.
I tried uninstalling Office Starter by the instructions given here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02981221#N301
but it had no effect, the same problem still remains. It seems to me that the problem is with Microsoft Office Click-to-Run, not the Office Starter. Is there any way to reinstall or fix it?

Spacing within a text box

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 06:50 PM PDT

 

My problem: spacing within a text box.

 

I am trying to put a textbox underneath my table. In ALL other tables it works fine… the spacing is correct (i.e. figure 1) and it looks good. But in ONE particular case (fig 2), the spacing is wrong. I have tried many different ways to fix this. I have copied the box, and pasted under the new table. I have restarted from scratch and have created a new textbox under the  new table. The formatting in both is Apparently identical. I have checked the spacing, line before and after etc… every item is exactly the same.. is there something else that I can do? I don't understand why… whats interesting is … if I make the textbox under the first table.. it looks correct.. then drag or paste under the new table, it looks incorrect, but then if I drag or paste it back under the original table it goes back to looking correct. I have looked at the spacing on the pages.. they are the same.

 

(So it looks like my figures did not upload... I have pics of what is happening that I would like to share)... but Im not sure how to put them up.

 

Thanks for any help.

I uninstalled Microsoft Word 2010, how do I get it back?

Microsoft Word 2010 documents turned into Microsoft Office files that I can't open?

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 08:35 AM PDT

All of my Word documents have somehow changed to Microsoft Office files that I can't open. When I try to open my documents, the Microsoft Office window pops up, saying "The Microsoft Office product necessary to open this file is not installed on your computer" and doesn't allow me to open them. When I try to open/save important documents onto my computer from the internet, I also get the same Windows Office popup. The little blue paper with the "W" has changed to an orange sheet of paper, and instead of saying "Rich Text Format" under the file type, they all say "DOCX File."

I would really appreciate help to solve this problem as soon as possible, as all of these documents are very important for school. Thank you so much in advance.

Microsoft Works 7 Works Word Files - Database Confusion/Corruption

Posted: 07 Jan 2006 08:25 AM PST

Thanks for the replies, Ken and Debra, sorry if I did not make it clear that
I was dealing with Works Word the whole time. I won't be able to let you know
whether your kind directions will solve the problem until late on Monday as I
will not be accessing the computer suite again till that time. But I will be
printing off your instructions to take with me.

My only reservation about this is how a student learner could inadvertently
(and with this particular learner there is a low probability of deliberate
tampering) have changed the folder options (in relation to file extensions)
as the problem had not occured previously. Which is why I was leaning towards
the "corruption" angle. Anyhow, I will get back to you with this one.

Thanks again for the speedy and informative replies.

How to download to works

Posted: 05 Jan 2006 11:03 PM PST

Hi Thom,

Files have extension, they are the last three characters of a file name such
as .doc, .jpg, .htm, .gif that lets a Windows based computer know what the
file type is (word document, excel document, graphic, etc.)

In your case the extension of the downloaded e-mail attachment is associated
with WordPad.

By default "Hide extensions for known file types" is checked. In case you
do not see the extension of your files, lets uncheck it. I unchecked mine
long ago.

Go to the Control panel and double click Folder Options, or open My
Documents, choose Tools on the menu bar, then choose Folder Options on it's
menu, either way opens the Folder Options dialog popup.

In the Folders Option dialog, choose the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions
for known file types", click OK.

The following is one way to change the program that open a file.

First you need to save the downloaded e-mail attachment to a folder if you
have not done so already.

Locate the attachment, then right click it, choose Properties.

On the Properties dialog popup, select the General tab, under Opens with:
click Change. (takes some time for the next dialog popup to display).

In the Open with dialog popup, locate and select the Microsoft Word
Processor you want to use, click OK.

Note: This change affects all files that have the same file name extension
as the file you selected. For example, if you change the program that opens
a .doc file, all .doc files will open in the new program.

When opening the attachment it should now open in the Word program you
selected.

I am on a WindowsMe operating system, Windows XP should have the same popup
dialogs I described.

By the way, if you want to view all the extensions on your system, go to
Folder Options and select the File Types tab.

Hope this helps,
Ken

PLEASE HELP! Printing problem using Works 8.0 & Labels

Posted: 05 Jan 2006 11:02 AM PST

Hi,

Your first problem was only one label on a 30 label sheet prints out.

Now you say it is the same problem, except you write, "tried to import some
labels I previously printed out with no problems, but when it came time for
Works to import the fields, the box disappeared and went back to the
microsoft works 8.0 selections page (ie: documents, labels, envelopes,
etc.)"

Doesn't sound like the same problem to me.

My first thought was perhaps there might be a printer software problem.
Works uses the printer software for many functions.

As you did not have similar problem displaying print preview in other modes
except labels, assumed printer software is okay.

My next thought was perhaps the .cvs file might be corrupt. thus my
suggestion to try a different data source.

If you are sure the data sources are okay, then I do not know what the
problem is.

You could try following these instruction to use the cleanup utilities.

Good luck,
Ken

Works 2003- "Word"

Posted: 04 Jan 2006 12:00 PM PST

Hi lees,

The cleanup utilities solve most problems.

I am not sure why, when inserting Suite 2003 disk, it does not run.

Suggest, after inserting disk choose Start on the desktop, on it's menu
choose My Computer

Locate and right click the drive with Suite 2003 disk, then choose Explore.

Can't get Works 7.0 calendar file to work with Works 8.0

Posted: 03 Jan 2006 10:44 PM PST

Hi ToBo,

My calendar (Works 6.0) goes back to early 2003 and it's mswkscal.wcd data
file size is 2.34 MB.

It probably would be larger except for the crash I had then and learned from
this news group to back up the mswkscal.wcd data file. Remember to backup
yours.

Reaction to things I click on in the calendar or even when opening is almost
instantaneous.

If you think there is a problem with Works causing response time you might
try doing another power-down, if that doesn't help, perhaps a clean install
using the cleanup utilities, instruction can be found here....
http://support.gateway.com/s/SOFTWARE/MICROSOF/sHARED/7513181faq24.shtml

Programs running in the background can cause slowness, more info about
background programs can be found here.
http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/

There are other calendars available, some in this news group like the Free
ClickTray calendar http://www.waseo.de/articles.php?lng=en&pg=34

Works 95 file conversion

Thanks, that looks promising, as you say the link for the download is
broken, but here it is:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32E7205A-3880-4416-9260-57A96C8A9A76&displaylang=EN

I have Works 4.5a, and it was purchased in Australia, so I'm wondering
about this:

"Note The Wp2krtf.exe text converter is only available for the U.S.
version of the programs listed at the beginning of this article",
from:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=246566

but I can only give it a try.
 

Okay. There aren't many WDB files, but heaps of WKS files. I'm
wondering if Works can be run from a DOS shell ? Of course, I may get
the 'can only be run in windows' message, but my thinking was, if I
can parse parameters to wrks, from a DOS .bat file, to emulate the WKS
conversion, then maybe it can all be done in batch mode ?

I do know to use a WKS in Excel,, you open the file in Works, save it
as XLS, and the conversion is good, no data lost.

Thanks,

Peter

Can I please take you up on your kind offer.

I'll try to send you 3 small .wdb files.

I have visited the site you gave me but as it not only adds but replaces

And as you will see, my columns are numeric (students marks) so ....

I think I have understood your address and they should arrive today.

Activation is anonymous, to add a username would sort of
defeat that :)

The MS Partner's Action Pack is a special edition,
supported through the MS Partner folks.
MS Action Pack for Office has 5 retail product licenses,
each supporting two activations.
Action pack copies are for internal use only

Yea but what if you have a retail copy or in my case a MS Action Pack version
and every time i reinstall it or move it from machine to machine for what
ever reason (still staying within the licensing of course) i have to call MS
for activation, sure it only takes 5 min (now that i figured out you can use
the key pad and not mess with the voice rec) but thats 5 min u have to spend
doing it. I like that idea, have a way to "un-activate", maybe have a
username and password or something to allow someone to do that... >>

Or even if you create a desktop shortcut to an office app, then drag it to a

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately the CD Edition and the
installed edition (Add/Remove Programs)
have to match. The update download works
with all of the editions but the CDs aren't
interchangeable.

If you don't have the matching CD you can uninstall
the one listed, restart the PC then install from the
edition you do have, but, as with any revision to the
PC environment set a restore point and backup your
files first.

http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php

Take out the disk do this in a different laptop or PC with
brackets for 2.5" drives.
Partition the drive into two partitions.

You can do a Knoppix compressed disk install.
This is just under 700Mb.
(You have to google the faqs on how to do that.
Come back if you get stuck.)
The compressed image will boot if you have 128Mb RAM
and autoconfigure for your laptop every time.

Now you can put disk back to the original
laptop, do boot up again, and then do the full
knoppix install to another partition while installed
in the Fujitsu laptop. This way you don't have to
worry about setting up all the configuration files
for knoppix. Also, if your knoppix install gets broken,
you can always boot with the compressed knoppix
and re-install again. I would also use it for backing
up the non-compressed partitions through the network.

bootloader on dual boot system doesn't show linux

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 12:13 AM PST

hi!
i am a new user of linux and had gone through the same agony coz i
couldnot say bye bye to windoz and had to keep both the os together.
Always keep in mind order of installing the operating systems is from
low to hi, by this i mean first install win 95, win 98 win 2000 and
then linux, you will never end up in these problems.
This is how it worked out for me in Red Hat 9.0
Use ur installation cds to login as root; you will have to use chroot.
Now if you want to load grub on mbr then in your case you will give the
following command in the shell
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda (good for 2k and xp)
and in case you want to install at a non mbr location then use
following
/sbin/grub-install /dev/hda2
you may try both if one doesn't work other will.
Grub works great but you like to look at other third party boot loaders
like Boot Magic and boot commander etc

Dump it. Use vsftpd, it's lighter weight and has better configuration
options..

And if you're going to dump in FC3 versions of software, you often need to
recompile them for RedHat 9 due to changes in glibc, just as you are
encountering. Either make the jumpt to FC3, or be ready to recompile
packages like that.
 

Well, yes. Do not try to do such major changes of your software as a major
glibc revision without updating the whole software installation.
 

Don't. Making a major change in glibc, is like switching from gasoline to
diesel fuel, it's usually easier to get a new car.

When the box had 64 Meg RAM, it was too slow because of high paging rate.

the high paging rate (even with X and whatever desktop -- Enlightenment?

other 128Meg Ram stick came in, I installed it, but it made little
difference, less than 2 pages per second, sometimes much less. 

I did not research that. I gave the machine away. I now am down to two
machines, and that is enough. When that box ran RHL 6, it worked fine with
64 Meg RAM. When running RHL 9, it was too slow even when the excess
paging was cured with 256 Meg RAM. 

Fine if that is your hobby, or if someone is paying you. I have work to do

Posted: 02 Jan 2005 10:02 AM PST


"Michael Perry" <org> wrote in message
news:org... 

See previous discussion about this.

1: What it is installing is a kernel hook to handle their binaries. This
kernel hook "taints" the kernel, and makes it no longer GPL, which is why
vendors don't ship it with Linux distributions.

2: It replaces your OpenGL libraries with binary-only libraries that support
Nvidia's undocumented, closed source features. This breaks any upgrade path
for your OpenGL libraries, and breaks a number of applications that were
compiled with the standard OpenGL libraries.

3: When you update your kernel or build a custom kernel, you will need to
re-install your NVidia drivers.

4: You have to integrate the NVidia support into your X configuration files
by hand.

If your time is worth more than $20/hour to you, trade the card for a recent
ATI card with a friend and use that instead. I'm exhausted with NVidia's
behavior about this, and trying to maintain it in the face of all the
different ways of managing kernels.
