maintenance, is much higher with free software than with
commercial software. I moved to OO.o with 1.1 and have not

Simone, is the problem that you are having an issue with the number of fields that can be defined
for a specific table in Base? I've never needed as many as you're indicating, but I'd recommend that
you organize your data into multiple tables of related data, perhaps using the same primary key for
all of them if they don't naturally have their own. In many cases, there is a great deal of
duplication of data when tables (or spreadsheets, for that matter) get very wide, making it much
harder to update everything in sync.

"DistroWatch" as a place to start.

Third, you don't give enough information for us to begin to
guess what might be a reasonable answer to your question.

For starters:

1. What computer system(s) are you using? (At the least
tell us what processor, speed, memory size you have.
If more than one, is are they networked?)
2. What do you use your computer(s) for? (I use mine
primarily for email and web browsing, with some music
playing, CD burning for the car, and a music notation
program from time to time to further my music
performing habit. I get away with some pretty old
hardware.)
3. What level of expertise do your users have? (I was an
expert when I retired in 2004, but as I age, I get
further and further behind the technology curve. I can
make no claim to any expertise now.)

Here is a subjective answer that may well not fit your needs
at all:
Ubuntu or Kubuntu, or other Ubuntu based distribution seems
to work fairly well here on hardware that is not
particularly new.

Thia machine runs XP SP3. I have an old machine (AMD Athlon
1 GHz, 700 MB RAM) with Ubuntu on it. It's slow but usable.

Office does license checking on the local network. If another computer
is using the same serial number you are, you get this warning. Obviously,
someone on the local library network is using your serial number. Did
anyone ever borrow your install CD? Any chance someone ever had a chance
to take a look at it and copied the serial number?? I've never ever seen
this problem arise unless someone was indeed using the same SN.





 





Well you need to tell us at least what application, and in what context??
Is it checking your e-mails for instance?

Hi Corentin,

Thanks for replying so promptly.

1. Unfortunately I am still having trouble accessing word at the library - the message has stated the names of two others using it, on two separate occasions. I have never given my licence number to anyone. Is it possible that these other people purchased their computers from the same second-hand dealer who has used the same serial number? From what you said that seems to be the case but if you later find out any other solution for me that would be great.

2. As for the message asking for key chain prompt - it comes up in different circumstances, including while I've been using email. I have noticed that it tends to come up when I'm on the internet and I change websites.

3. Got the Voiceover off, thank you!

Hi,

The interface will always be slightly different, as the Mac version is
slightly different. Most notably, the Mac has menus and palettes
compared with the windows ribbon.

The Mac interface is highly customizable. You can move tools and
commands around to your liking. On the View menu choose Customize
Toolbars and Menus. Also investigate each applications preferences. When
that dialog box is open everything is fair game. Add, remove, move
around all the toolbars and menu items. You can make your own toolbars
from scratch if you don't want to mess with the built-in ones.

I'm willing to bet if you do your own customizations that you will find
that you can create a working environment that is better for you than
the default interface for either Mac or Windows Office.

Sharing documents

Posted: 27 Aug 2008 11:04 AM PDT

Although Mickey's point is valid I'd humbly suggest a different approach :-)

Any version of Win Office 2000 or later should have no problem opening OXML
files if the users have properly maintained their software via updates. The
OXML Converters can also be downloaded separately. IMHO, it's unfair to
expect you to sacrifice many of the features of 2008 by saving in the prior
format in order to "dumb down" your documents to their level.

If email recipients are having problems of the type you describe it's more
likely the result of one or more of several other causes... The most
probable of which is that the email system on their end is hacking your
attachments to bits because that email system hasn't been configured
properly - something over which neither you nor they have any control.

In order to [help] avoid the problem make sure you have the check in place
to Append File Extensions in the Save As dialog and always zip the files
before attaching. Also, based on your prior successes it isn't likely to be
wrong, but check your email software's settings for encoding attachments -
it should be MIME/Base64 or Windows Friendly or something similar.

You should also be conscientious about what fonts you use. Not all on either
platform translate well to the other side.

Finally, suggest to your WinTel pals - gently but firmly - that they stop
double-clicking (opening) *attachments*, but instead Save the file to their
HD then open the actual *file* that's created there. [Zipping helps force
them to do exactly that :-)]

Thanks a ton for the information, Peter.

The problem we have now is that we can't get the

While I understand why the services didn't work, why the
default ASP account info doesn't work anymore is
completely beyond me. Makes no sense at all.

I've opened a ticket with Microsoft on this.

Log on using the same account you use to install MSCRM. Create CRM user and
then assign a license to the user. From there you can log on as the user and
continue your deployment from there.

I use the Activity.Route method with no problem, but I had a couple of days to put it to work...
The problem was, for me, that I was not using the source queue ID... are you using this? You must look at table QueueBase. The activity, when created is located in the user's (the one that created it) in progress queue.

Good luck

Reopen all closed Word files at the exact pages

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 02:59 PM PDT

Hello. 
I am currently aware that on Office 2013 (on windows 7x64) has the ability to reopen a document and keep reading right where we left off (http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/what-s-new-in-word-2013-HA102809597.aspx). However I was wondering whether via vba if it would be possible to save all the open files and the exact pages/view that they are and reopen them at a later stage (kind of like saving it as a session and reopen them on restarting a computer). I am aware of copying file location one by one but having to do so with dozens of document each and every time is a bit tedious. ( I have to restart my computer each time to connect to the internet wifi.)
Thanking you
Yours sincerely.

Keeping font consistent when filling in forms using controls

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 02:46 PM PDT

Hi

 

I have a document and I want to take out some text and replace it with a form control and turn it into a template so users can just fill in the form and the rest is protected.  I want them to always use a consistent font  when they fill it in.

 

However, when I inserted the control and formatted it to the font I want, then turned on protection and tried to fill in the form controls, I lost the font...I could not keep the fill in part with a consistent font.

 

How can I do that?

 

thank you for any assistance!

Blue Screen while working in Word 2007/2010

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 12:06 PM PDT

I have a 60 user office where we just upgraded about 3/4th of the machines to either Latitude E5530 (10) and Optiplex 3010's (34).

 

Most users do not have a problem but there are a handful 2-3 Latitude users and another 3-4 Optiplex users who randomly get blue screens when working in Word (both 2007 and 2010).

 

We've tried a bunch of things - repairing office, removing and reinstalling, SP's, removing profiles and reattaching to network, updating drives for all hardware, etc. and cannot come up with a fix.

 

We've used a Blue Screen error viewer on the dump file and the issue seems to be associated with the file mrxsmb10.sys.

 

If anyone has any ideas or have dealt with this issue in the past I'd love to hear what you did to correct or any ideas to try.

 

 

 

DISABLE Auto Toolboxes for Text Boxes and Pictures in Word2007

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:11 AM PDT

Word2007 on Vista. 

 

 If I pause during adding/editing text in a Word doc that has a text box or picture, a toolbox tab suddenly appears (highlighted, among the other tool categories (Insert, Page Layout, etc.) at the top of the screen), and I am immediately taken to the text box or picture, where it is highlighted for editing. 

 

This is EXTREMELY annoying and wastes an extraordinary amount of time.  I have been all over Word and the internet for a solution.  How do I turn off/disable this ridiculous auto function?! 

 

Thank you!!

2013 Office home and student stopped working

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:02 AM PDT

Well my 2013 office home and student stopped working. When I try to open a word document I get a message that it ran into problem. I see that this a common problem in this forum. I am on a deadline for school. Of course, you can't actually talk to someone. There is no option to fix it. What do I do, besides not buy Microsoft. Where's the support? Seems to be a common problem with this product. I am not a tech nor should I be this quick. Ok, I'll step off my soapbox. How do I fix it? Remember I am not a tech.

Microsoft Word 2010 - Trying to create Avery Label 5195 merging Excel DB Information Automerge error plus...

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:46 AM PDT

Hello everyone,

I'm using Microsoft Word 2010 - Trying to create Avery Label 5195 merging Excel DB Information Automerge error plus...

Merging DB information seems so easy and yet it is not importing the DB information correctly.  (i.e. Creates an Automerge field and will not import dollar amounts with $ sign and decimal setup correctly.  It inputs the amount, such as 3.95, but then adds 00000000000002 to the end of it to show 3.9500000000000002.  Have tried it several times with the same outcome.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or is it a bug in the software?  The merge process seems pretty cut and dry, so I'm not sure what to do here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary Callahan

Unable to print in Word 2013

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:15 AM PDT

When I try to print with Word 2013 I get a pop up that asks Print to file, then an error message when I select the name of the document as the file

 

I have already saved the document but it seems to want to save it again and then sends another pop up asking if I want to replace it because I already have a doc with the same name.

when opening program multiple windows appear and keep opening

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:07 AM PDT

When opening windows a blank document does not appear. Rather, multiple documents I have worked on recently rapidly open, one after another and then the program crashes. I have restarted and tried updates. Nothing is fixing it. ????

Suggestion: Don't require multiple logins to use Word web app

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 09:02 AM PDT

Using the Word Web App is difficult because I have to log in more than once.

 

Here's a description of what I experienced today.

 

1) I went to Office.com and clicked "Sign In" in the upper righthand corner.

 

2) I typed my email address into the box that appeared. A brief notification told me: "Account Found," and I was redirected to another page.

 

3) I was then prompted to sign in again, with the cursor in the "email" box, even though my email address had been pre-filled. I had to click on the password field, then type my password.

 

4) I was then presented with the "My Office" page. I wanted to work on a recent Word document. I searched for it, found it, and clicked on that document in the "Recent documents" section of the page.

 

5) I was then presented with yet another log in prompt, this time for SkyDrive. I typed my username and password and logged in again.

 

6) Finally, I was able to see the document and make the edits I needed to make.

 

This process should be much simpler. In the competing Google Drive product, I am usually not prompted to log in at all, because Google remembers my sign in.

Word 2007 crashes when shape inserted

This is a relatively new problem therefore likely the result of an update.

Any document I open/use in which a shape has been inserted or when I try to insert a new shape in Word 2007 it crashes.  I have looked around for fixes but have not yet found anything that has worked.  Can anyone help please?

Heading 2 is not listing properly with other sections

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:43 PM PDT

I'm frustrated with a glitch in my Word Doc. I'm compiling a thesis and the Heading 2 is the only Heading that doesn't list in the desired order.

I'm going for the following

Heading 1 :  1
Heading 2 : 1.1
Heading 3 : 1.11
Heading 2 : 1.2
H1: 2
H2: 2.1
H3: 2.1.1.
H2: 2.1.
etc. etc.

What I'm getting is
H1: 1
H2: 1
H3: 1.1.1
H2: 2
H3: 1.1.2
H1: 2
H2: 3

I've tried highlighting all heading 2's and modifying to include numbering but it just doesn't seem to want to correlate with the rest of the headings. Please help.

Cheers,
P

Word will not accept that I don't want a List

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 08:37 PM PDT

I have a paragraph that goes like this:
"(1) The Beggar, (2) the Knave, (3) the Artisan, (4) the Merchant, (5) the Noble, (6) the Knight, (7) the Doge, (8) the King, (9) the Emperor, (10) the Pope. The second contains the Muses and their Divine Leader: (11) Calliope, (12) Urania, (13) Terpsichore, (14) Erato, (15) Polyhymnia, (16) Thalia, (17) Melpomene, (18) Euterpe, (19) Clio, (20) Apollo. The third combines part of the Liberal Arts and Sciences with other departments of human learning, as follows: (21) Grammar, (22) Logic, (23) Rhetoric, (24) Geometry, (25) Arithmetic, (26) Music, (27) Poetry,(28) Philosophy, (29) Astrology, (30) Theology. The fourth denary completes the Liberal Arts and enumerates the Virtues: (31) Astronomy, (32) Chronology, (33) Cosmology, (34) Temperance, (35) Prudence, (36) Strength, (37) Justice; (38) Charity, (39) Hope, (40) Faith. The fifth and last denary presents the System of the Heavens (41) Moon, (42) Mercury, (43) Venus, (44) Sun, (45) Mars, (46) Jupiter, (47) Saturn, (48) A Eighth Sphere, (49) Primum Mobile, (50) First Cause."

And MS Word keeps setting it as a list item with (1) being the first number as a list. So I set it to not be a list, and it completely removes the 1. When I add it back, it reformats it as a list in an endless cycle of ruining my paragraph. How do I make it not do this?

EDIT: I got it to stop, but I still have no idea which setting was responsible for this heinous crime.

Microsoft Word won't open

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:23 PM PDT

               Whenever I try to open Word 2013, it gives an error message saying "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now?" The text is followed by 3 options; Repair now, Help, and Close. I've tried the quick/online repair and that didn't work. I've uninstalled Finereader, and it still hasn't helped me. I've even updated the third party file that's been causing people issues and it hasn't worked. I am not sure where to find the NVIDIA driver so I can rename it, and I don't have Acrobat or Fun tools/Tobishia Book reader. 
                                                                       
               I'm slightly frustrated because the technicians at the retail store where I bought the computer and the software are trying to get me to buy another copy of Office, when I already have the software installed. I've scanned through the posts on these forums and on the issues similar to mine I still seem to be having trouble. I would greatly appreciate if any of you could help me out.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post,

"We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly."

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:53 PM PDT

Just purchased Office 2013. Installation went fine, except Word won't open. Excel, Powerpoint, everything other Office program works fine, but I can't get Word to work. 

I have Windows 8.
I have tried repairing Office from the Programs and Features menu (both quick and internet repair, both to no success).
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing. It might be worth noting that none of the office programs worked until I uninstalled and then re-installed. Now only Word does not work.
Have tried opening Word in safemode, no luck.

Help please?

Will attach an image of the error message

Equations in Word that are hyperlinks do not save italics or minus signs - how do I overcome/work around this?

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:43 PM PDT

An equation within a Word document that hyperlinks to a bookmark within the document does not save properly. When the document is re-opened, italics have vanished and minus signs appear as small hyphens.

This is extremely frustrating for teachers producing maths worksheets where questions hyperlink to answers. I can save to pdf to distribute to students, but any time I need to edit for a proof-reading change, I also have to comb through the whole document to re-italicize every pronumeral, and re-type every minus sign.

Anything you could do to speed up such a process in the presence of the problem would be most appreciated. If the problem itself can be fixed, even better. Thanks :)

Can't Open New Word Docs!

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 05:14 PM PDT

Hello, I am annoyed.  I am able to create docs with my Word 2010 Starter program, but as of a couple months ago when somebody sends me a new Word Doc. (no idea what format, year etc.) I'm unable to view it - getting a message telling me there is no program to open it.  Also, the "icon" in my files for these new docs look completely different - theyre orange and state "DOC file", where word docs that I create state "DOCX and look more like a "page".    What do I need to do?  Is there no upgrade for the Word Starter to allow us to also view later versions in Word?  OR - do I have to buy the full product???  Hoping I dont have to go there!!   Thanks for any help you can give!

Was afraid you might need to do this and I'm glad BestBuy was good
about an exchange.

I suspect it had to do with the Promise controller on the mobo. WD
(and other disk makers) have had problems with them from time to time.
Seems it has to do the way the mobo maker incorporates the chips/cards
into the rest of the circiutry. I've never been able to decipher the
reported details of such glitches, so I don't really know if there is a
common thread of causation or just potluck.

As far as "brands" go, I don't pay _too_ much attention to them. I
agree with those that claim it's more luck of the draw re: which batch
or assembly line run the drive was from than the maker per se. They
all make good ones, they all put out turkeys from time to time. Then
again, good past experience can't be ignored and bad ones not soon
forgotten.

While the memories are fresh, you ought to take the time to note
symptoms and your efforts to make it work for future reference. You'll
forget the details in no time and with some notes you will at least
salvage some usefulness from the WD that refused to work. Google's
archiving seems to be unreliable as a means of note keeping these days.

Main thing though, glad you got one working :-)

And thanks for posting your solution.

Newbie question: Start linux (Debian 3.0r1) on runlevel 2

If you want to start in runlevel 2 without X, you can either uninstall
your display manager (xdm, kdm or gdm), or rename the S99?dm link in

Suse installation fail from ISO imge on Cd...Help

Sherry, did you try the advise I gave you a few days ago?
 

You need to type that in at the boot prompt. After you select "install,"
don't hit enter until you type that in. Then YaST should automatically go
to the site, automatically configuring your network.

I can tell by your post you didn't do it this way. Try it. If YaST still
can't configure your card (which I doubt), check the Suse site for the
correct driver for your card. The driver descriptions in YaST don't list
every card, just chipsets. There is a list somewhere that tells you which
driver works with which card. But if you try the above method, this
shouldn't be necessary.

Debian is another great choice, it comes with a great package
manager (apt), there's even a sophisticated gui (synaptics) or so.

But if you are afraid of the command line, debian might not be
what you want.
 
 

Not that I could think of, just be aware that running KDE3 under
suse requires a power-full machine with enough RAM or you won't
get happy with it.
 

There are no problems, you might want to install additional
fonts.

Good luck
