Microsoft Word - Where has the clip art gallery gone?

Where has the clip art gallery gone?

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 03:09 PM PST

I have always linked straight to the gallery from within a program, eg Word by clicking on the Clips online link.  Now when I click it all I get is the main office.com homepage but if I click on Images it does not take me to the gallery but to an article which is no help at all.

 

Where have all the images gone?

Separate headings for endnotes pages

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 11:51 AM PST

I've written a book with endnotes using World 2010 on a Windows 7 system. Following the directions of http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/FootnoteFAQContent.htm#TextAfterNotes I successfully inserted sections following the endnotes pages. But I've had trouble with the header for the pages containing the endnotes.

The endnotes appeared immediately after the text of the final chapter. Since that would be confusing, I set the section containing the final chapter to "suppress endnotes" in Page Layout|Page Setup|Layout and then at the end of the chapter text inserted a Section Break (Odd Page) code. This moved the notes to the next odd page.

However, I have a running header on the odd-numbered [facing] pages that shows the name of the current chapter. Of course I take care that "Link to Previous" is unchecked for odd-page headers in the Header and Footer Tools|Design tab. But even so, the notes pages had the name of the last chapter, and their header was linked to its and could not be independently changed, which was not what I needed.  

I decided that I would try inserting an extra blank section between the end of the final chapter text and the notes pages. This was difficult because Word always makes what seem to be arbitrary changes in the Section Break codes in complicated situations involving several different codes. What I finally wound up with was:

--End of chapter text
--Section Break (Continuous) code
--Blank line
--Section Break (Continuous) code (I think this is unnecessary, but Word won't let me delete it.)
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--Section Break (Continuous) code (I think this is unnecessary, but Word won't let me delete it.)
--"Notes" title
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--endnotes pages
--New section in which to insert bibliography and end matter

Each of the sections up to the "Notes" title was set to "suppress endnotes". It was only immediately after the "Notes" title that I unchecked "suppress endnotes".

At the blank line, I inserted page breaks (not section breaks) until I got to an odd page. I edited its header to uncheck "Link to Previous". Then I deleted all of the page breaks, leaving me with a section having just a single blank line between the end of the last-chapter text and the "Notes" title section. Then in the endnotes pages I was able to change the odd-page header without affecting the header in the last chapter.

The next time, doing it from scratch and not having to fight with Word so much on changing Section Break codes, I would try the following order:

--End of chapter text
--Section Break (Continuous) code
--Blank line
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--"Notes" title
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--endnotes pages
--New section in which to insert bibliography and end matter

I'd be interested in any ideas anyone else may have about ways to do this.

Can't color letters on Word 13

Office 365 error (Word 2013)

Hello,

MS Office 365, especially MS Word 2013 is crashing quite often when opening a file. But that's not the worst - after restarting, Word offers you some recovering options and there is an error with data: Available Files, name, version created ... 01.01.1601. 2:00 (that was 5 minutes, not 412 years ago).

File Directory - All Caps

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 03:12 AM PST

Hello Gurus: 


I have a series of files in a file  directory which have been named  (by someone other than myself) using  all capital letters.   From a purely  aesthetic standpoint, I would like use a Word macro  to change all listed filenames within the file directory to  initial capitalization. 


Assuming that this is even possible, I would greatly appreciate  some assistance  in this regard.


Thanking you in advance for any insight, I remain...


Gratefully yours,

Pipe symbols appearing intermittently in a large Word document (2007 & 2010 both versions)

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 12:40 AM PST

I have a large word document (about 140 pages). The problem I have is that Word keeps placing a pipe ( | ) symbol throughout the document. The pipes seem to act as a page break, but there are no other 'invisible' symbols like paragraph marks, etc., and using the menu to show invisible characters has no effect on the pipe symbols.

 

I can select them individually, but I can't copy / paste them into the search/replace tool, and there are several hundred instances, and new ones appear as the document grows. They appear intermittently, with no real rhyme or reason as far as I can see. Also, copying a small part of the document with the pipe symbols to a new file has no effect either.

 

Does anyone know WHY these pipe symbols are appearing, and HOW to work with them and remove them permanently? I have attached an image that shows the symbols on a random page.

 

Note: The document is a personal spanish / english dictionary, but I do not think the language is part of the issue.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Roger

Typo in Slovak localization of Word 2013

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 04:47 PM PST

Hello,

I have found a typo in Word 2013 with Slovak localization.


When I press Ctrl+F (search) and type "x", the search finds too many results so it does not display them. This is ok, no problem.

The problem is with the message I get about it: "nAk chcete vysledky..." There is letter "n" which should not be there. Other parts of the message are ok, it's just the letter "n" is not correct and I consider it as a typo.

Word 2013 Poor Font Rendering

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:42 AM PST

Just upgraded to Office 2013 from 2010 at work. I've made sure that Office 2013 has been updated.


I noticed that documents looked terrible in Word 2013 whereas they had looked fine in 2010.

Then I found that while font rendering in Word is poor, Excel is fine just as it was in 2010!


Here is an example.

Note how:

1. The word Hello is rendered differently in Word compared to Excel

2. The text AaBbCcDd is rendered differently in the Word document compared to the ribbon in Word

When a full document is viewed in Word 2013, the effect of this difference makes the document horrible to read.


If you zoom in on the image, it appears that Excel correctly uses ClearType with sub pixel rendering whereas Word does not and seems to use some form of grey scaling which looks terrible.


I've tried various advanced display options in Office 2013 including the one about using sub pixel rendering and hardware acceleration. None of them cause Word to correctly use ClearType.


Word 2013 is therefore incorrectly rendering the fonts in the document causing a very poor result which makes the document noticeably more difficult to read than any other text rendering in Windows or previous versions of Word.


There are some other threads which may be about this issue but still no resolution. I have put this clear example together to highlight just how obviously wrong Word 2013 is and therefore why this issue needs to be corrected.

How on earth do I get support from someone at Microsoft? I have an office 365 subscription, but try as I might . .

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST

. . I can't find a way to get help. Admittedly, I've found this box, but my hope of getting real support from someone at Microsoft is low. Microsoft, prove me wrong!

The problem (apart from being unable to contact support) is as follows. In Word, the busy pointer - the circle - appears nearly always when I navigate within the document (by pressing the cursor keys). This is irritating and I suspect it is not by design. I have a powerful, clean computer, and I don't think the problem is (as the web suggests it often is) with the printer driver. I'll supply more details on request. I look forward to hearing from you.

List Justification problem in Word

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 04:11 AM PST

I often create documents which are primarily lists where I want to format using Word bullets or numbering with a 'heading' line followed by the 'details' starting on the following line.  To do this you have to use Ctrl+Enter to avoid the 'heading' being a separate number from the 'details'.  This is OK until you decide to Justify the text as then the 'heading' is justified, which looks awful.  For example: 
Apart from making every 'detail' section a sub-para I can't find a way of doing this.  Can anyone else help?

Workflow in Word and OneNote

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 03:03 AM PST

Hello all.

There's something I've been wondering about regarding my workflow in Microsoft Office.

Let me describe what I'm currently doing.

I'm preparing for an exam as a guide of a certain route. I'm going through a document I previously collaborated on with my co-students and translating each of its 30 different segments into the language I'll be taking the exam in. I'm also jotting down summaries and key figures for each leg.

Originally I started out working on each segment separately, each on its own Onenote page. I haven't used Onenote before and figured it'd be relatively easy to tag the texts somehow and then make Onenote export Word documents based on the tags (one with the translations and one with the summaries). This would mean I could reuse my work easily going forward, re-ordering the Onenote pages with searches and combining them with new ones for other different routes once I actually started working as a guide.

It's becoming clear that the program doesn't actually support this.

So I think my strategy will be to just have three different Word files open simultaneously on my screen and switching between them. This is okay but it won't really be the start of the database I was so looking forward to. In the future I'll have to go through these files and manually cut and paste them into new documents, also there'll be no connection between the file with the full texts and the file with the summaries. This is daunting because on my computer I've already got hundreds of different files by myself and others with various types of information; it'd be so very useful to be able to query them based on tags, and to have unprocessed information separate from the info I've gone over and made summaries of, &c.

Is there anybody on here who's faced and solved similar problems?

Thanks for your time.

How do I insert an envelope at the END of a document instead of the beginning (Word 2010)?

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 06:52 PM PST

When I use ADD TO DOCUMENT, no matter where my cursor is, the envelope is added at the beginning of the document.  The only way I seem to be able to get it at the end of the document is to set it up from scratch.  I have tried to copy and paste the format from other documents which miraculously have their envelopes at the end of the document, but no amount of coaxing using paste options will make it work.

Would appreciate any help.

Word 2013 insufficient memory to update the display

Hi everyone
When I open a certain document in Word 2013 (not all docs, just this specific one), Word says "There is not enough memory or disk space to update the display". I can open the doc but I am having lots of trouble editing it - Word crashes, fails to save, etc.

Any one had this problem? How does one sort it out?

There is no such thing as Office XP Home Edition, so I'm guessing
that "XP HE vs2002 SP2" refers to Windows XP Home Edition with
Service Pack 2. That does not tell me what version of Office you

on this PC was the 2K version, which already is uninstalled from Control

I have tried to clean this PC of all known traces of the old version (based

Blocking a set amount of time each day for a resource

Posted: 18 Jan 2005 01:33 PM PST

Ahhhh - that's what maximum availability is all about. Try this - let's say
he works 8 hours a day. The 4 hours a day he's on troubleshooting isn't part
of his project work at all, really, so as far as the microcosm of the
project is concerned the only thing that counts is how much time he *could*
devote to project related work. From a project management perspective we
really don't care what else it is he's doing, only that the time it requires
is time not available to the projects and so as far as we're concerned that
time simply doesn't exist. In other words, he's only available for
assignment to projects for 50% of his workday and if his calendar represents
his full workday (as it should, IMO) that can be represented in Project as a
maximum availability entry in the resource sheet of 50%. He's available to
the project 50% of his time and not available (because he's doing who cares
what, let his boss worry about that) the other 50%.

Some people think I'm a broken record but MS Project is not the end all and
be all for business management, even in project oriented industries. It's
an extremely valuable tool for doing what it is designed to do - help manage
projects - and marginal for the other activities people sometimes try to
adapt it to. It's not intended to help you manage staffing and/or
production, only to help you schedule the work on, and specific to, your
projects.

Fixing Dates Absolutely - Lock Possible?

Posted: 17 Jan 2005 10:51 PM PST

Step back and think about it a minute. You're asking how to lock start and
finish dates and then you say you want to revise the duration. The duration
is defined as the time between the start and finish. How could it possibly
change without at least one of either the start or the finish changing? If
a task starts Mon 8am and finishes Thu 5pm, its duration is 4 days - it
can't be 3 and it can't be 5 - because there are 4 working days, no more and
no less, between the start and the finish. If you change the duration to 5
days the finish HAS to change to Fri evening because Fri is 5 days after
Mon. It's simple arithmetic - 5+2=7, never 6 and never 8.

The same thing happens when you assign resources. Joe works 8 hours a day
and has certain days off. Work only takes place on a task when the
resources assigned to it are there to work on it. So if I have task that
requires 40 hours of work, scheduled to start on Monday and finish on
Friday, and I assign Joe to do it. BUT Joe is happens to have Tuesday and
Wednesday off and is taking a vacation day on Thursday. That task still
requires 40 hours of work to be done, but Joe is only going to be there on
Mon and Fri, a total of 16 hours. When could he do that additional 24 hours
worth of work? The only time possible is sometime after Friday and so the
projected finish date of the task must change to accomodate the time off.

Now, if you want to lock those dates because you need to preserve the plan
as it was originally devised before starting to track progress while
retaining the original start/finish dates so you can compare actuals with
intended, that's another matter. That's the purpose of the baseline and
saving a baseline does exactly that - gives you a copy of the plan "locked"
so that when you edit the durations etc in the working plan to enter in what
actually happened so that you have a record of both planned and actual. But
you said in your question "...shouldn't be moved when I assign resources
...." and you should be assigning the resources long before you save the
baseline to lock things down. You lock down the baseline as the very last
step in developing the plan before you begin work but all the duration
estimates entered and the resources are assigned, etc, well before that
point. While you're building the plan, editing duration estimates and
assigning resources, it really must recalculate those dates in order for the
plan to be valid.

general newbie questions about MSP concepts

Posted: 17 Jan 2005 07:05 PM PST

Adding a comment to Rod's answer. A Finish No Later Than constraint is NOT
how you indicate the desired deadline finish, IMHO. You know deadlines -
while you need to hit them, sometimes things conspire that make it
impossible, right? Well, a FNLT constraint tells Project never to place
that task in the timeline later than the indicated date, EVEN IF IT IS
TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO HAPPEN ON OR BEFORE THAT DATE! There is a
deadline entry in Project that allows you to flag where your task should hit
and if it turns out you're going to be late, it'll red flag it for you to
let you know you have to do something to fix it. But by avoiding the
constraint Project shows you where it really *is* going to land according to
the current plan and by comparing that to where it should be landing, you
have a chance to revise the plan so as to meet your objectives before its
too late to do anything about it except apologize to the client/boss for
missing the deadline.

IMO, predicting where you *will* end up IF you structure the plan in a
certain way is even more important than recording where you should be ending
up. You already know what you need to achieve - the hard part is figuring
out exactly how to get there and MS Project's greatest value is as a
calculator to help you do just that. Constraints of any sort applied
anywhere except the few specific places they're needed for the model to be
valid cripple Project's ability to do that for you because they limit its
ability to calculate the effects when you change the causes.

Working from "End Date"

Posted: 17 Jan 2005 04:45 PM PST

Jack has told you how but there're a couple of things you should be aware of
before actually doing it the way you propose. The most important is that
scheduling from a required finish date backwards puts all the tasks as late
as possible in the schedule. That's fine as long as nothing ever gets
delayed but in the real world how often does that actually happen? Since
the tasks are already scheduled as late as they possibly could be to finish
up before the required date, ANY delay in completion of any one of them will
blow the schedule and you won't meet the required deadline date. While
scheduling backwards is ok as an academic exercise in the initial part of
the planning to help you figure out the minimum time that might be required,
you're far better off picking a date ahead of the last possible start date
and creating the actual work schedule from that date forward so that you
have a "cushion" at the end to absorb the inevitable glitches and delays
without blowing past the required class start date. As an instructor myself
I can attest it is extremely embarassing to have to explain to a classroom
full of students that the courseware didn't make it in on time and we'll
have to mail it to them when it arrives.

If you're trying to do this so you can send readable files to other users,
your best bet is to print to a PDF generator like Adobe Acrobat or one of

Thanks guys. My company is not using MS Project as it was designed. They are

Thank you both for your comments.

Thanks Steve. I probably should have added in my post that the status date

'progress line date'.

I get this now. Many thanks to you and Gerard.

Risk/Issue Management

Posted: 16 Jan 2005 08:15 AM PST

Hi Django,
I've done this by using a series of 'customiseable
fields' to store risk/issue information. First define the
fields you need, then define a new view (table) to show
these fields, and finally create a custom report.
Cheers,

Help requested to display working time only - Project 2000

Posted: 16 Jan 2005 03:37 AM PST

I understood Sparky to want to have non-working days completely omitted from
the timescale. You method does in fact only schedule tasks on Saturday and
Sunday but it doesn't actually remove M-F from the display alltogether. By
the way. instead of chagin the colours for the weekend dates, a better way
is to use the newly created weekend work calendar to also control the
display on non-working days in the timesscale, set on the same page where
you change the colour of non-working days. Now it would show Sat and Sun as
normal work days and Mon-Fri with the grey, non-working background colour.

Upgrading Project 98 to 2003 from SQL 7 DB to SQL 2000 DB?

Posted: 15 Jan 2005 03:21 PM PST

I think you're dealing with several independent issues here. I'm not
experienced using SQL Server to store the project data but I understand the
Database Upgrade utility you're referring to updates the database tables,
procedures etc, in SQL Database so they include the new fields, field sizes,
etc, found in P2003 that are different from those in the P98 database
tables. It deals with the differences between P98 files and P2003 files,
not the differences between SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2003.

MS Project queries

Posted: 15 Jan 2005 01:31 PM PST

In my opinion Project is superior to Ace Project because of VBA (Visual
Basic Algorithmics) which lets Project interact with other microsoft
applications seamlessly.

Using VBA you can easily embed project files in an application such as
powerpoint so that the user doesn't even know they are using project.

It also serves as a visual editor (WYSIWYG) for reports of all kinds from
both project files and project databases.

Posted: 14 Jan 2005 12:31 PM PST

Typically one wouldn't schedule as late as possible except to get an idea of
what the latest possible schedule would look like.
If I want the "need" date, I just look at late finish. There is no need to
put it in the baseline. In fact it may screw up the baseline. Personally, I
wouldn't do it, but I know less about your situation than you do.
If you have to paste it somewhere why not paste late finish into deadline or
one of the date fields?

CRM 1.2 Email Router Installation Problem

Posted: 08 Aug 2004 04:48 PM PDT

Hi,
Check if SPN is registered correctly on all of your AD servers. If not, then
add it and wait untill it replicates on all the AD servers or force replicate
it. You will have to use ADSI Edit tool to do this. The SPN is stored on a
multi-valued attribute on the computer object in the Active Directory called
"ServicePrincipalName" and is in the form
MSSQLSvc/SQLServerName.Domain.com:1433

Check for this value perticularly on the LOGONSERVER of your exchange box.

Secondly, I suggest you should not have waited so long with the issue before
contacting support.

Contract Usage -- Say It Ain't So Joe...

Posted: 06 Aug 2004 12:59 PM PDT

Hi Alex,

I should have been more specific. Yes, you can create a contract with a
Customer as opposed to a contact. However, if you create a contract with a
customer, and then try and create a CASE for that customer, you will not find
the CONTRACT associated with that customer (the one created above).

My experience has been that I can only utilize a CONTRACT in a CASE when the
the company for the CONTRACT has been created with a CONTACT and not an
ACCOUNT. Try this and see what happens. Thanks.

Posted: 06 Aug 2004 10:09 AM PDT

An is correct.

Accounts = Businesses in MSCRM. They can have many Contacts (people) related
to them. To associate an existing contact with an account, open the contact
form and select the "parent account" in the lookup. Next time you open the
account form, you will see the contact under the contacts tab.

Hope that helps,
