Mail Merge in Word using Outlook contacts

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:46 PM PST

I am trying to mail merge in work from a list in Out look. I am good until I try to put the Names & address in. the names show up but the address do not show under "Mailing Address Indicator". When I go into the "Address Block" there is a check in the box that says "Insert Postal Address". I have tried to insert the First Name, Last Name and Address 1 in the "More Items" section with no success. What am I missing?

Rogue indents in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

I've set the fisrt lines of paragraphs to indent via the Specials drop-down list, but I've found there are other lines within paragraphs that are also indented.

 

If I highlight the rogue indent and set it to "none" via the same drop-down list, it also removes the indent from the first line too! If I then reinstate the indent for the first line, the rogue indent returns too. AArrggh!

 

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I've tried tabbing, backspacing etc, all to no avail. I'm working in final view without mark-up.

 

Any suggestions please?

Macrobutton Windows 8.1 touchscreen

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 10:50 AM PST

Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet with W8.1 and Word 2013. I cannot get macrobutton to run a macro by finger tapping or with standard stylus. Finger tap and standard stylus DO work on the ribbon and other tablet features. I have a Dell active (hover) stylus and it will activate the macrobutton with a tap. I have set the macrobutton to work with 1 or 2 taps and result is same. Is there a way to get the macrobutton to work with a finger tap or standard stylus? Thank you.

Small problem but quite bothersome

When clicking my desktop MS word to open it opens fine but the blank page has some misc. words I can't get rid of.  A little while back I typed in some random letters to check a font.  Now every time I open the page with these letters opens.  I've deleted several times but still shows up when opening new.  Any suggestions would truly be appreciated.

Possible bug in Word 2007 and Word 2010: page 2 of 1

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

I seem to have found a bug in Word 2010, which also seems to be present in 2007.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new blank document.
  2. From the Insert ribbon, add a footer and add Page Number of style Page 1 of 1.
  3. Add enough blank lines to go on to the second page.
  4. From the Page Layout ribbon, Breaks, add a Section Break, Even Page.
  5. All is OK at this point - the first page is 1 of 2 and the second is 2 of 2.
  6. Delete the section break.

Now the bug appears. You can see that the first page is 2 of 2 and the second is 3 of 2. It looks as if deleting the section break has affected the PAGE field code.


For extra fun, highlight the page number, right-click and choose Format Page Numbers; then change the Start At value. You can make the first page 0 of 2 or 2 of 2, but you can't make it 1 of 2.


Does anyone know if this is can be fixed?

Table Position in Document Footer

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:55 AM PST

I am  using VBA to create MS Word 2010 documents from a template. In the template, I have one footer for the first page and a different footer for the subsequent pages. Each footer contains a table that has some cells with plain text and some cells with content controls. Everything is working fine, except that when I create the documents the footer tables have shifted to the right. I have tried different ways of creating the templates and positioning the tables, but every one has this problem (some more than others). One of the best results came from starting with a document created in Word 2000 and converting it into a template, but it still didn't work entirely (small shift to the right).

Ideally, I would like to start with a blank template and build the footer from scratch. The document body has a border around it, and I would like each table to be flush with the left, bottom, and right borders. It sounds simple enough, but I'm darned if I can figure out how to do it! Thank you very much for any help . . . .

Question about creating business logo

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:51 AM PST

Using Microsoft Word I created a business logo with word art, and boxes.  Now when I want to move the logo I have to move the outside box, then the logo, then the business name, and #.  How do I make the entire logo one object instead of different WordArt parts?  I would like to do this so I can copy and past the complete logo and make it smaller and bigger to post on documents.  Thanks for your help, sorry if the questions is kind of difficult to understand, I did not know a good way to describe it. 

header & footer security

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 06:52 AM PST

Hi All,

I have created a template and would like to have security on my template so that you can not go into the header and footer - so that all information can not be deleted or copied in this section.

 

I have done this by completing a fillable form, however this then restricts other parts of word:-

 

Such as

 

Review Tab

Insert/Clip Art

Shapes

Smart Art

Captions

Cross referencing

and a few more to mention,

 

Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

How to Replace Certain Characters at Start of Each Paragraph

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:52 AM PST

I need to replace certain characters at the beginning of each paragraph in manually-created numbered lists in Word such as "9.2 " with html code for open line item (<li>). I can't simply replace all instances of "9.2 " because there can be numbers in the body of the paragraph that should not be changed. Is there a way to do this? There will be lots of variations such as numbers followed by tabs, etc. but I have already written the code to do this, just don't know how to just make changes at the beginning of the paragraph. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Word 2010 indents lists when pasting

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:26 AM PST

In a template I use at work, whenever I paste from an outside source into a numbered list, the indent of the number I paste into gets shifted .5" to the right.  I have disabled Smart Paste and changed lots of the other paste settings, to no avail.  This template was originally created with Word 2003, but we are now using Word 2010.  Is it possible to correct this, or is it perhaps just one of those weird formatting quirks that happens from version to version?

Thanks.

Office 2010 Hyperlinks and Active Directory Authentication for Internet Access

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:11 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I work in an Education Environment, and we use Web Filtering based on Active Directory groupings to block or allow certain websites for Staff and Students.  For unauthenticated access, such as people using Smartphones or Tablets, we also have a list of blocked sites.  (This list is, understandably, the strictest.)

It's recently come to our attention that hyperlinks within Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 are responding with "Unable to open <URL>. Cannot download the information you requested".  This happens to any users for whom a website is on their specific allowed list, but would otherwise be blocked for unauthenticated users.

For example, YouTube is blocked by default, but in many establishments is allowed for staff.  If a member of staff types youtube.com into the address bar in IE, it works.  If they type youtube.com into Word 2010 and click on the hyperlink that's generated, it fails with the above message.  This is not how we want our system to work.

In another example, if a website is usually allowed, but blocked for a member of staff, and that person types the URL into Word and clicks on it, an IE Window opens, but then displays our "Website Blocked" message.  This *is* how we want our system to work.

So the question is, how do we get Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 hyperlinks to stop sending unauthenticated requests to the website in question, and returning an error if it cannot download the information, but rather open IE by default and *then* either display the website, or a blocked message?

Thanks,
Tim.

EDIT:  I undestand HLINK.DLL and URLMON.DLL might have something to do with it, but I don't know what.

Bottom border to a single cell in a word table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:45 PM PST

Hello,

I can't seem to get a bottom border isolated to one cell once I've split the cell into two. Top border only works, as does left and right only, but bottom border does not work... it creates a bottom border under all cells in the row. Any ideas?


I tried to apply a bottom border to the right cell and this is what it does. It'll work on the left cell fine but not the right. If you split the cell into even more columns you can create a bottom border for each cell independently except the right most which will create a bottom border for all cells in that row.

Thanks for your help

Reassign the location where files are saved in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:22 PM PST

I  am running Windows 8.1.  My C drive is a SSD and I have a HDD as my data drive.  My intent is to only store program files on the SSD and save all the data files on the HDD.  I see the file  - options -save - dialog box where the default setting point to my C drive.  I suspect this is where I need to change to my HDD path.  Is this correct?  Do I need to create the folders listed in the default path or can I shorten it to the HDD drive designation (E)?  I want to do this to all the programs in Office 2010.  I suspect it will probably have to be done for each program.  Thanks!

VBA to Replace Number in All Numbered Lists in Table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:04 PM PST

I am trying to use VBA to replace the number (or bullet) in all numbered lists in a table with html. The following code works great for doing this in a non-table environment but only works on the first cell in tables. I imagine it has something to do with the "paragraph" parameter but can't figure out how to change it. Thanks in advance for your help (my code follows):

 

Sub Replace_All_Numbered_Lists_In_Selection_With_Open_LI()      
    Dim oPara As Paragraph
    Dim r As Range
    For Each oPara In Selection.Paragraphs()
        Set r = oPara.Range
       If r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListSimpleNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListBullet Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListListNumOnly Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListMixedNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListOutlineNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListPictureBullet Then
            r.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers _
            NumberType:=wdNumberParagraph
            r.InsertBefore Text:="<li>"
        End If
        Set r = Nothing
    Next
End Sub

What reasons make different Line spacing between "exact" and "atleast"?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 05:28 PM PST

Hi.

I just wondering line spacing rules.

I asked,

when I use "atLeast" in <w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="300" w:lineRule="atLeast"/>
the paragraph borders, the box around the paragraph, is higher than when "exact".

MS said,

" The difference can be even a little better seen if space="0" is used in the top and bottom elements in pBdr. 

The Word 2013 behavior is in compliance with ISO standard, 17.3.1.33 says "atLeast (Minimum Line Height) Specifies that the height of the line shall be at least the value specified, but might be expanded to fit its content as needed." "

I want to know what algorithm make different between them.

Please, let me know.

Have a great day.

OEM-Key vs COA Differences

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 03:55 PM PST

This is what Microsoft website OEM FAQ says:

Q. My customer bought a new PC and wants to move their OEM software from
the old PC to the new one. Can't they do whatever they want with the
software?

A. The OEM software is licensed with the computer system on which it was
originally installed and is tied to that original machine. OEM licenses
are single-use licenses that cannot be installed on more than one
computer system even if the original machine is no longer in use. The
end user license agreement (EULA) accepted by the customer before they
use the software, states that the license may not be shared, transferred
to or used concurrently on different computers. The System Builder is
required to provide end-user support for the Windows license. A System
Builder can not support a license that has been moved from a PC they
manufactured to one that they did not — this is a fundamental reason why
OEM System Builder licenses can't be transferred.


Q. Can my customers transfer or sell their OEM software licenses?
A. After an OEM software license has been installed on a PC, the license
may not be installed on or transferred to another PC. However, the
entire PC may be transferred to another end user along with the software
license rights. When transferring the PC to the new end user the
software media, manuals (if applicable) and certificate of authenticity
label must be included. It is also advisable to include the original
purchase invoice or receipt. The original end user cannot keep any
copies of the software.

The end user license agreement (EULA) is granted to the end user by the
System Builder and relates to the license on the PC with which it was
originally distributed. Because the System Builder is required to
support the license on that original PC, a System Builder can not
support a license that has been moved from a PC they manufactured to one
that they did not. This is one of the key reasons why an OEM System
Builder license can't be transferred. For more information, click here.

Show them a copy of this message and see what their reaction is. They
want to sell you a software and so they will not volunteer information
unless you ask them specifically. This is pure business.

Steve,
Formulas can be made as complex as you can stand but keep in mind the
limitations of using a formula in a custom field. The formula can only
work on data relating to an individual task, the more complex the
formula the more likely it will contain a logic error, and formulas only
work on tasks in the Project file where they reside. Formulas are also
quite limited in what they can do (i.e. available functions).

Whey trying to exercise multiple decisions that may involve data
elements from many tasks, (or resource or assignments), VBA is the way
to go. The same complex formula used in a custom field can be easily
broken into smaller elements making it easier to understand and
troubleshoot. A macro stored in your Project Global can be used to
operate on any Project file. If you do not have any experience with VBA,
we will be happy to help you either directly or through suggestions for
learning VBA yourself.

I know I didn't directly answer you question. When I see someone trying

Using a macro to create a shortcut button to apply a resource flit

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 02:09 AM PST

Hello, Blue!

You can't always record your filtering - it's better to record yourself
creating and applying a filter, then you can use the code you get to create
filters for other resources, too.

Remember to use the test "contains" and not "equals", to pick up where a
task is allocated to more than one resource.

Hope this helps

Pete



Sub FilterDaveChow()
FilterEdit Name:="Dave Chow", TaskFilter:=True, _
Create:=True, OverwriteExisting:=True, FieldName:="Resource Names",
Test:="contains", _
Value:="Dave Chow", ShowInMenu:=False, ShowSummaryTasks:=True

Base calendar in a Master Project

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:33 PM PST

Hi jlb,

PMFJI, but I am puzzled when you say that the master project calendar seems
to take over the scheduling for the subprojects. When I work with inserted
subprojects with different base calendars they maintain the base calendar
definition from each subproject. True the nonworking time *display* in the
Gantt chart defaults to the Master Project nonworking time but each task
schedule (including changes in start time, finish time and nonworking time)
is following its base calendar.

As John notes, any tasks added to the master will default to the base
calendar for the master.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Updating Table & Filter definitions in Plan and Global

Ah, now I see. Nope, no affiliation other than I use their products. I
don't frequently see MS employees in this ng. When they do appear in others
their comments are usually followed by legal disclaimers about "implied
warranties" etc.
No offense taken ;-)

assigning a group of people to a task

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 03:47 AM PST

Hi Fred,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Why not call the group, say,"Workers", make their Max. Units 600% and then
just assign a Worker to each task.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))

How can I produce a Project 2000 report in Word?

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 03:27 AM PST

Hi

the only option when it comes to "saving the acutal reports" is to print
them to a pdf file - you can use adobe acrobat (not the reader) or a free /
cheap one like www.pdf995.com (which is what i use)

Cheers

How to track time without considering assignment units?

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 02:52 AM PST

Hi,

I'm ok with your definition: the status date is the date when a status
is done on a project: actual work and remaining work are only valid for
this status date. We do a project status during the week as soon as
actuals and estimates to complete are available from our time tracking
tool. The status date is the last friday.

What I was missing was a way to manage tasks AHEAD of the status date:
- do I have to spread extra work on past work, and how?
- how do I see the project gain of time and the final milestone
advance?

I solved these questions by properly configuring the calculation
options of ms project (please see my other post)
Anyway, thanks for your help !

customizing updates tab in PWA

Posted: 27 Jan 2005 01:03 AM PST

yair o --

The only way to get extra columns to show up in the Updates page in PWA is
to add them as extra published fields in each project. To do so, open each
project and do the following:

1. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
2. Select the extra fields you want from the list on the left and copy them
to the list on the right
3. Click the OK button
4. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments
5. Click OK

You should also ask your Project Server administrator to add these
additional fields to the Timesheet view if you are using Project Server
2003. Hope this helps.

How to add a gridline in gannt chart to show Deadline?

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 08:27 PM PST

Use the drawing tools to put a vertical line in the plan and in the line
properties lock it to the date. A better way than a vertical line would be
to insure you have a final "Project Complete" milestone and all dependency
link paths terminate on it - while not every task in a project will have a
predecessor necessarily, every one will have a successor - if nothing else,
the Project Finished milestone. Then set a deadline (Task Information,
Advanced tab) on the finish milestone. Now MSP will "red flag" if you're
going past the deadline. You could carry it farther and put a deadline on
all the tasks in the plan if you like but I don't think that would be
particularly valuable.

Scheduling Multiple Resources for a Task

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 12:03 PM PST

Dale,

Thanks for the help...I have a follow-up question. For the task below; what
would be the best way to track progress? In my case, Resource 3 completed
20% of her work, resource 1 & 2 have not completed any. I went into the view
you showed me and reduced the remaining hours for Resource 3 by 20% but for
the overall task, the % complete still shows zero. Is there a way to have
Project automatically calculate the overall % complete based on the remaining
work for a resource or do I need to manually calculate the overall % complete
based on a 20% completion for Resource 3?

Thanks Jack. I tried using the mpx, but didn't get any consistent results.
I have tried exporting into Excel and then moving into Project and am able to
get some results. Thanks for the encouragement.

Leveling Question

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 08:09 AM PST

In addition to the other comments. since you want some tasks to split and
others not to, do the leveling in several passes, selecting the tasks to be
leveled in the current pass and using "Level Selevcted Tasks" instead of
leveling the entire project.

how do i let users change dates on the web?

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 07:51 AM PST

Bill at HP --

You must add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to the list of
published fields in each project using Tools - Customize - Published Fields.
Be sure and select the "Let resource change field" option for both fields
and then click OK. You must then publish each project using Collaborate -
Publish - Republish Assignments. After doing this, your Project Server
administrator should add these two fields to the Timesheet view in PWA.
Lastly, you should teach your team members how to use these fields properly
while entering progress in their timesheet. Hope this helps.
