Prevent auto word wrap at end of line

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:32 AM PST

I want to prevent automatic word wrap from splitting "7 p.m." so the 7 is on one line and the p.m. is at the margin on the next line down.

I thought that Shift+space or Ctrl+space or Alt+space might work, but they don't. 

I would usually fudge by forcing a hard return before the 7, but my document is fully justified, so the right hand margin cut off before the 7 really stands out. 

What can I do?

Corrupt Microsoft 2007 word document

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:20 AM PST

Hello All,

I was working on a Microsoft 2007 document- my essay actually.  And I saved it on a USB. I decided to take a short nap and I shut down my laptop and ejected the USB . When I woke up, I couldn't open the document from the USB. The message from Microsoft  read: the file cannot be opened because there are errors with its contents.

I didn't save the document any where else or back it up.

Please help!!!! I have missed my deadline already.

Thank you.




Is it possible to link all of my web pages to the one/same folder/css/style sheets?

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 11:10 AM PST

It started with a single web page - then another, then another, then a bit of a folder heirachy
Now its almost a website
I am having a lot of trouble maintaining the integrity and I know i should use a proper web design tool but my demands are few
MS Word creates a new folder for each webpage I save
When I want to add a 'similar' folder I have used copy/paste/edit/save method

Now I am at the point where I need to shift some folder/structure around, but it's awkward with webpage.html & webpage folder structure

To simplify the whole structure:

Is it possible to link all of my web pages to the one webpage folder/css thats in the root folder

Dont mind fiddling around for a while until I can get one web page to work because then i can copy paste it


Office Web Apps changed today

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 10:28 AM PST

Until today, when I tried to create a new document (for example a Word doc) using Office Web Apps,, I was prompted for a file name, and then the doc opened in the same browser window. Today, I am no longer prompted for a file name, and the doc opens in a separate browser window with a generic name like Documetn1.docx.

This is not a good workflow. Now I have to rename every file I create. 

Is it intentional,(I hope not) or will this be resolved soon?

Deleting blank pages in word while in print preview mode

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 09:50 AM PST

I have searched and found a couple of ways to delete unwanted pages in a word document.  The main solution I keep finding is to turn on the 'Show/Hide' paragraph markers, scan through the document, highlight the paragraph symbols in the places that you want the pages removed and then clicking Delete.  Isn't there some way, even in print preview mode, since Word does not see 'pages' as 'pages' until it gets ready to go to the printer, that can allow the user to delete blank pages if they are scrolling through in print preview mode?  It is driving me crazy.  There has got to be a simpler way than the ways I have researched thus far.

Backspace doesn't work in Word 2013

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 08:18 AM PST

Hello,


I have been using Word 2013 for a couple of months now with no problems. I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and this may be when it started. My backspace just doesn't work. I can use the delete button but not the backspace. It works in other programs so it's not a hardware issue. I have seen help that suggested checking that the 'typing replaces selected text' (in options/advanced) was checked which it is (I tried taking it off, exiting word, then putting it back on again but it made no difference).


Any ideas? This might not sound that bad but it's really frustrating!


Thanks. 

Evolution of Office - what features are users actually using in 2013 (compared to 2003, 2007, 2010)

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 07:52 AM PST

I have been doing some research to get a better idea on what features and commands are being used in Office nowadays, and if there has been any change over the years (features becoming less commonly used, current "buzz" features, new uses for existing features etc.).

I have already found some useful sources like the Office 2003 blog by Jensen Harris and an article in the Office 2010 Engineering blog by Tim Briggs. However, I would like to know if there is any (more detailed) publicly available breakdown of usage data and what commands are actually being used in the office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint in 2013.

Does anyone know of any recent data / papers on this topic or have an MS contact within the Office Design Group (mentioned in the Engineering blog) I could follow up with?

Thanks.

I have the data for a mail mege contained in the "Mailing Address" field.

Any suggestions - Christmas cards waiting

ListNum field keeps reverting to default numbering style.

Posted: 04 Dec 2013 07:02 AM PST

I need the ability to number my examples like this:


(1) blah-blah-blah


And to refer to them without parentheses. So I autonumber them by inserting a listnum field with following code:

LISTNUM NumberDefault \l 1 

This creates numbering with default numbering style, which is number+parenthesis. What I did in Word 2003 is right-click on the field and change its numbering style to the one that suit my purpose.

Now in Word 2010, the same trick updates the numbering style of these fields, but then, after saving and reopening, it reverts the field to default. The problem goes away if I save the document in .doc rather than .docx, so I suspect it's the issue of how the information is stored in .docx files.


My question is: is there anything that would prevent .docx file from reverting the numbering style to default?

Alternatively, is there a way to make non-parenthesized numbering style default for listnum?


PS: just so you know, I did my homework:

  • "Automatically update document styles" is turned off;
  • I tried removing Normal template and trying the numbering anew - same issue persists

MS Word 2013 - some pictures/graphics not printing unless I save doc as Word 2003

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 08:02 PM PST

Have checked all the display and print options (background printing, print graphics created in word etc), but some graphics/pictures just will not print unless I save the doc as a previous version (ie as a Word 2003 doc).


This is happening to all of my documents on my new computer (running Office 2013 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit)


Have the same issue with all 3 printers including print to PDF.  All graphics/pictures show in print preview and save ok to PDF.  Please help!


Doc will print correctly from computer running Office 2010 networked to same printers.  Have checked all settings (in options) are the same.

Different Menu When Picture Drag & Dropped Into Document

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:59 PM PST

Hi everyone,

Just recently while using Word to type a report I noticed that when dragging & dropping an image I am getting different image options than I normally do under the "Picture Tools" tab. Here is the menu I would normally get dragging and dropping and now only get if I copy/paste: 

 

Here's what I get now for some reason (note the image handles look different too):


As you can see it's missing options and looks "dumbed down" in a way. My theory is that Word thinks I'm running on a low power computer and is hiding the eye-candy like the previews and more graphics-hungry image options. It could be a setting I accidentally changed but I can't seem to find what it would be. Has anyone ever come across this issue before or know of a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Myles

Office 2013 will not display correctly

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:57 PM PST

I just downloaded Office 2013 through the HUP and while installing the program I noticed that many of the icons/buttons would not display until I moused over their location in the setup text boxes.  

When I finally managed to navigate through the program setup and(after downloading and installation) opened up Word, the display is not working properly.  Here is capture of what it looks like:

Hopefully you can see that there are no icons in the toolbar, and nothing "reveals" itself until I mouse over the space where it should be.  This is unusable.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium edition, so there should be no compatibility issues.  I have attempted to "fix" the problem through the Programs and Features "Fix" option.  I have also attempted to uninstall and re-install Office again with no luck.  

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!  

Best,

Word - continuation page

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 04:32 PM PST

Hi all,
The following may be a staggeringly simple question but it is baffling me. I'm filling in an application form (word format, of course) for a job. The Work History section only allows me to post 4 jobs, and of course I need to include all of my work history. At the top of the page it says, "Please use continuation sheet if necessary". A continuation page I have heard of, but I cannot figure out whether this "continuation sheet" is simply a figure of speech or whether there is a command that will directly allow me to insert a page (the continuation sheet) onto the word file. Insert Page doesn't work, neither does deleting Page Breaks. In short, I'm trying to add pages to a word file, but it simply won't let me, so is this continuation page a familiar tool or, as I wrote, just another way of saying "include the work history in another word file or however you can."
Any help, much appreciated.

hi i need to convert word perfect files to access them by word 2003

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 04:32 PM PST

Hi  I have a collection of word perfect 5.1 files

they are assignments from my anthropology degree   there are hundreds of them and I would like to make them searchable for key words  

and also be able to access them in word.

When i try to open them in word it tells me that the convertor cannot be loaded as the files required are not on the computer   this is a second hand laptop and the files required to load them came with the original ms office cd or some other source.

Well I have considered getting a version of open office   but using word would be ideal

a means to convert mulitple files at once would be ideal as then they would all become searchable

Thank you

Styling endnotes.

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 03:42 PM PST

I am trying to make endnotes conform to a style guide that requires that they be marked in regular numerals (not in roman numerals) and that they not be superscripted. The document was created with both the endnote as it appears in text, and at the document end, in superscripted lowercase roman numerals.

 

So far I've been able to get both the endnote as it appears in both places to be regular numerals. I've also been able to get the endnote at the doc end to not be superscripted. But I have been UNable to remove the superscripting in the text.

 

Here is what I've been doing:

First, I go to the Footnote and Endnote formatter (lower right corner of the Footnotes ribbon section) and change the number format to regular numbers. This makes the numbers regular in both places, but still superscripted.

 

Then I go into Manage Styles where I find two endnote styles:

 

1) Endnote Reference (Hide Until Used), which is indicated as a character style, and

2) Endnote Text (Hide Until Used), which is indicated as a Linked paragraph and character style.

 

I modify the first one by unchecking the Superscript box on the fonts panel. This removes the superscripting from the endnotes at document bottom, but the in text endnote number is still superscripted.

 

I've tried editing the second Endnote style, but it is not set for superscript. I've also tried reversing the order in which I make these changes, but I get the same results.

 

My question then is, how do remove the superscripting from the inline endnote reference numbers. And can I create settings that would make this the default in my Normal template?


Thanks much!

Fedora Core 3 Installation Hangs

Posted: 23 May 2005 10:52 PM PDT

thanx for ya'll suggestions.

i tried to install WinXP too and got a similiar hanging/freezing. And it's
not bad RAM because I've successfully installed Fedora Core 3 on a Dell
Optiplex GX110 (PIII 667MHz) with the same RAM modules.

I'm told the MSI motherboard and/or the 1 GHz CPU was fried before I
received it. So I'm assuming one of those are the actual culprit.

Anyways, the Dell system seems to be running it okay, so I'm gonna stick
with this setup for now (maybe even test the 1GHz CPU in the Dell mobo
later).

Thanks again people

That's not much, the slowest system I keep around is a PII-350
(196MB memory), bought it used some years ago for a few bucks
(ebay). It's just for playing around, but have to admit, it runs
Debian (Sarge) with KDE3 like a charm.;) The key is of course
enough memory, bought it with 128MB and put in a spare 64 MB
stick flying around. IIRC it can't handle more.

I'd look out for something in the lines used if you need a more
powerful box, amazing how many of those systems are sold for more
or less nothing. Not uncommon systems with perfectly working
hardware but a totally broken doze on it are replaced with a new
system (doze preinstalled), just because people are unable to
recover/reinstall the box.

SeLinux: syslogd cannot access /var/run? Needs nfs_t:dir search?

Posted: 22 May 2005 04:09 PM PDT

I just found the cause of this problem. Reiserfs and selinux combined
do not work, but support for this combination will appear in the
upcoming linux kernel 2.6.12.

The problem is that selinux relies on "xattr" file attributes, and in
reiserfs, xattr attributes are stored in separate files. As the selinux
code tries to access the xattr attributes of a file, selinux is
triggered again to allow or deny access to the xattr file. This leads
to a bad deadlock.

In order to work around the deadlock, the policies distributed with
fedora contain a mapping that maps all files on reserfs systems to
system_u:object_r:nfs_t. This is where the "nfs_t" comes from. This
mapping is applied to all files without accessing any xattr attributes
of the files.

However, the ls -Z option does access the xattr attributes of the files
as stored in the fs, and shows them. Similarly, the selinux programs to
label or relabel the file systems do set xattr attributes of the files
without regard to this mapping. In this way, when investigating the
problem, I could not see where the "nfs_t" came from. The files
appeared to have the correct attributes.

While waiting for the next kernel version to appear as an official
fedora rpm package, I have:

1. Installed selinux-policy-targeted-sources and checkpolicy
2. Run "dmesg | grep 'audit.*denied' | audit2allow
3. Added the output to
/etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/program/syslogd.te
4. In /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy, run "make" and "make reload"
5. Run service syslogd restart

6. Repeated steps 2-5 until syslogd starts cleanly and no new audit
messages appeared.

This is quite clumsy, because as soon as syslogd gets a new permission,
it fails on the next operation. Many rounds are required.
A couple of other daemons also need access to /var, and so more rounds
are required.

There is a better approach, to set selinux in permissive mode where all
accesses are permitted, but also logged. This log can be fed into
audit2allow to generate the list of permissions required to run in
non-permissive mode. This is still not perfect if a daemon does certain
accesses only in particular circumstances. But I have not yet
investigated how this is done.

Anyway, the permissions I have ended up with so far are:

allow dhcpd_t nfs_t:dir { add_name remove_name search write };
allow named_t nfs_t:dir { add_name remove_name search write };
allow ndc_t nfs_t:dir { search };
allow ntpd_t nfs_t:dir { add_name search write };
allow portmap_t nfs_t:dir { add_name search write };
allow syslogd_t nfs_t:dir { add_name remove_name search write };
allow dhcpd_t nfs_t:file { append create getattr link lock read
rename unlink write };
allow named_t nfs_t:file { append create getattr lock read unlink
write };
allow ntpd_t nfs_t:file { append create getattr lock read write };
allow portmap_t nfs_t:file { append create getattr lock read };
allow syslogd_t nfs_t:file { append create getattr ioctl lock read
unlink write };

When the next kernel arrives I will have to remove the mapping to
nfs_t. The mapping is in the file genfs_contexts in the src/policy
directory. Run make and make reload as above.

When a new version of the rpm package selinux-policy-targeted appears,
you should probably remove the *-sources package, or else the new
policy will not be installed. (I guess it will appear as *.rpmnew.)

Regards.

Tasks by definition have an exact duration. You might not know precisely
what it will be ahead of time but it is exactly however long it takes the
resource doing the work to complete the task's deliverable once he starts on
it, no more and no less. One of the reasons for using scheduling software
such as MS Project is help you get a handle on such things as duration
estimates, by recalculating task lengths based on such things as resource
availability and other responsibilities they may have at the same time as
they are doing the work on their assigned tasks. I can't emphasize too
strongly - the task duration is *never* the "window of opportunity" during
which you need to get the task done, instead it is your best guess as to the
concrete amount of time the resource will physically be working on the task
between when he starts work on it and when it's finished. So in your plan
you should use an estimate, based on the history of similar tasks from prior
projects, your expertise in the subject matter of the project, perhaps
conversation with the resource who will do the work, etc, as the expected
duration for scheduling purposes. You might revise it later on as the plan
matures.

start to finish relationship

Posted: 22 Jan 2005 10:33 AM PST

Just to add another example of an SF relationship would be if I took my
car to a mechanic and asked him to fix the brakes and the radio and
that I needed the car at 5pm. If he scheduled his work, he might
estimate that it would take an hour to fix the brakes, and 1.5 hrs to
fix the radio. So he's plan to start at 2:30 in order to finish by 5
(If he was really smart, he'd start at 2 and give himself 30 min of
slack, but that's another issue!).
I see very few of these in the projects I've consulted on, but they are
most common in event planning, like in Rod's example. Certain things
must occur at certain times, so you schedule backward to meet a
deadline. In production circles, it's similar to Just in Time
deliveries to minimize inventory.

What he was telling you, Bernard, was that the behavior of Project as it
comes from the box is exactly what you said in your question that you wanted
it to do, so obviously you're expecting it to do something else. There are
an average of 20 working days in a month. If I have a task that starts of
this Monday, 24 Jan and I specify its duration to be 1 month, Project will
show it ending on the 18th of Feburary, 1 month (20 working days) later.
What date would you rather see it showing?

how do I edit personal macro in excel

Posted: 21 Jan 2005 07:51 PM PST

Hi Mary

a better group to post in would be
microsoft.public.excel.programming
or
microsoft.public.excel.misc

however, to answer your question - personal.xls is opened automatically as
a hidden file when you start excel, to unhide it choose windows / unhide
....just don't forget to hide it again after chaning your macro. Just a note
though, you can change the macro without unhiding personal - open a
workbook, press the ALT & F11 keys at the same time and you will end up in
the VBE window, on the left (in the project explorer) you should be able to
see (Personal.xls) - under that should be a folder called Macros and your
macros will be in here.

Hope this helps
Cheers

budget without printer Project 2003

Posted: 21 Jan 2005 06:07 PM PST

Hi James,

What version of Project are you using and what operating system? When you
installed the printer driver did you select a local or network printer? I
routinely have to install printer drivers in the classrooms where I work and
do just fine with a local printer (just driver), no plug and play.

Changing the Calendar

Hi

as Jack said - the first is not possible, however to attempt to answer your
second question - either choose format / timescale and set the timescale so
you can see each day (or however you want) - or if that is not the problem,
try file / print and have a look at the timescale options there - change it
to ALL if it is only showing a date range.

grouping not working in master project containing sub-projects

Posted: 21 Jan 2005 11:55 AM PST

Joel-
Have you tried grouping only on 1 level, then sorting within that group to
get the results you wish to see? I have learned that grouping more than one
custom field in a master project gets tricky. See if you can accomplish what
you want by grouping by custom field 1 and then sorting in the order you'd
like. I also work with lots of custom fields, so I feel your pain!

How do I only print a certain date range in Project?

You'll find top posting is the norm in this newsgroup, kai, and does not
need the little "zinger" indicating you've corrected what you perceive as
the poster's bad Usenet manners and habit. The questions and explanations
posted here tend to be more involved than those in groups where the
discussion follows the more conversational dialog style where comments in
reply to a post are interwoven with the original text. Having the content
of a new message in a thread appear as a single cohesive block of text at
the top of the post, with previous messages from the thread intact below it
in reverse posting order, newest message first, makes it far more readable.
It's much easier for someone picking up the thread at a late stage to review
its history. There are exceptions, of course, but in general it is much
easier to follow the development of the discussion of a complex topic such
as project management with top posted threads, IMHO.

One task completes multiple subproject tasks

Posted: 21 Jan 2005 05:37 AM PST

A "task" is a block of work done by a specific resource over the course of a
specific time interval and producing a specific deliverable and as such
should have one and only one entry in the plan. Painting the north wall
this week and painting the south wall next month are two different tasks
even though they are both "painting the wall" activities and both are done
by the same painter. Viewed in that light, is task 2 really the same task
or is it two separate tasks that happen to have the same name? If it the
same task, you have a problem with the work breakdown. If it's the same
task in both summaries, it is producing a deliverable that is incorporated
into the deliverables of both Summary A and Summary B. It's not a subtask
of either one but rather a predecessor to both. You structure should
probably look something like ...

Task 2
Summary A
Subtask 1
Subtask 3, predecessor Task 2
Summary B
Subtask 4
Subtask 5, predecessor Task 2
....
or perhaps, though I favour the first version ...
....
Summary A
Subtask 1
Subtask 2
Subtask 3, predecessor Subtask 2
Summary B
Subtask 4
Subtask 5, predecessor Subtask 2
.......

Project 2000 Oddities (Bugs?)

Currently, there are no links between sub-projects (i.e. no external

However, that is a task that I am pursuing, as part of enhancing the
usability of their schedule to something more than wallpaper with
dates.

resource leveling with recurring tasks

Hi,

Recurring tasks, when created, get 1000 as priority hence they are ignored
by leveling.
Open the "recurring task" ands reset the priority of the detail tasks to
f.i. 500

MS Project: milestones

Posted: 20 Jan 2005 02:47 PM PST

Before you dispair at the extra work, consider what a milestone is. Many
people think it is a date by which something should happen but that's not
really true. Nor is it a date where you intend to report to a client or
evaluate whether to proceed, etc. Instead, the milestone is an event that
takes place in the project. It occurs on some date but the milestone is not
the date, it is the event that occurs on that date.

Let's say I'm creating a new video game. There might be a milestone
"Storyline complete" and it takes place on whatever date we finish the
storyline. That milestone may have deadline, say 15 May, that we have to
hit in order to have the game to market for the Christmas season but the
milestone is finishing the storyline, not the 15 May evaluation point. What
this means is that in your subprojects, you're going to have milestaones
that are unique to each subproject anyway and it would be very, very rare
for those milestones to occur on the same date or at the same duration point
into the project.

What you *could* do to minimize the work, and would be a very good idea if
the subprojects are similar in structure, is to create a template to base
each of them on and that template would have to signifigant events in the
project entered as milestones. Now when you create the subproject file
based on that template, each one will have the "design complete" or whatever
milestone in it just like it has the other tasks and Project will calculate
the date that the event takes place in that particular subproject. If that
meets the deadline, great. If it doesn't, you need to tweak things like
staffing, etc, to get it to move to the required spot. What you can't do,
in any circumstance, is simply declare it'll happen on some certain day and
expect it to actually happen then when you leave the planning stage and go
out and do the work - the real world just doesn't work that way. You might
assert "design complete" happens on 15 May and use a constraint to force it
to sit on that date in your plan, but if it takes 6 weeks to do the design
and designing doesn't start until 01 May, that milestone will happen 15
June, a month late, no matter what your plan says.

Hope this gives you some ideas you can use...

Maximum number of usable fields with mail merge manager

Posted: 21 Jun 2009 01:14 PM PDT


Hi Bob,

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294688 "The maximum number of data fields in an Excel worksheet is 256."
The OP is using an Excel worksheet (2007/8) as the datasource.

It seems that getting beyond 255/256 fields will require exporting the data to a tab-delimited text file or a comma-delimited text
file and using that as the data source. Even then, "There is a limitation of 255 fields in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box".

Questions from the developer. Please give all the info he asks for.

1) Does the Installer is ³fails because the OS is being misread as pre

installer to do this.

2) Press CMD+L (that will bring up the installer log). Then change the drop

Can't insert Page Break (Continuous)

Posted: 17 Jun 2009 06:09 PM PDT

OK, you're going to have to be more exact about what you're attempting to do
as well as more specific about the structure of your document content as
well as what "settings" you want to change.

There's no such critter as a "CONTINUOUS page break" -- there's a Page Break
& there's a Continuous Section Break. Please understand that mixing the
terms confuses the issue. There's also a Next Page Section Break, so the
first suggestion is to make absolutely certain that you're selecting the
right one for the intended purpose. Also, be sure you have the non-printing
characters (¶) displayed in order to better determine what's inserted.

If you're absolutely certain that you're using the correct feature & still
having the same problem be certain to give the details requested above as
well as state your exact update level of Office.

Word crashes on opening after changing to Intel

Posted: 17 Jun 2009 01:23 AM PDT

A suggestion:
Could the reason for crash be a stile name with the letter æ.
In my work on recovering old styles I tried to make a style with the name Optælling, and on creating it Word crashed. Then I did the same but now with the name Optal and that worked.

Maybe Word on Intel is more sensitive to „foreign" letters than Word on ppc?

I received and sent you a reply. I hate to say it and it really isn't as bad
as you might think, but an "Archive & Install" would probably be what it's
going to take to fix this. The last time I had to do an "Archive & Install"
the only thing I had to re-install was my Microsoft keyboard software.

Archive and Install

1) Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X
icon.

2) Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the
destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will
be the only one available).

3) Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and
network settings, select ³Archive and Install,² and then select ³Preserve
Users and Network Settings.² If you want to erase everything on your
computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select ³Erase and Install.² You can¹t
recover erased data.

4) Click Continue.

5) Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you¹d like to install,
or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).


Once the install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the
disk you have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.5.0, that's what
version of OS will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate
Combo Updater from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version.
After you run the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any
additional updates.

In most cases, when installation of an update fails part-way through, with
the installer either quitting unexpectedly in the accompaniment of an error

result is all or some of the Microsoft Office applications are completely
missing.

The only remedy is to re-install Office from your CD and update. FWIW, this
is not a MS specific problem. It can happen with any update process.

Tip: I suggest zipping the Office folder prior to updating in case of
problems. Easy to revert to previous install.
