Microsoft Word - VBA "SaveAs" not working both in WORD 2007 and WORD 2013

Microsoft Word - VBA "SaveAs" not working both in WORD 2007 and WORD 2013

VBA "SaveAs" not working both in WORD 2007 and WORD 2013

Posted: 07 Dec 2013 01:52 PM PST

I bought a brand new machine, ACER, 64b, running Windows 8.1. An MS-WORD macro I had for years running smoothly on Vista does not perform the "Save As" command. Instead, the "file picker dialog box" pops open (see below) with a blank file name and suggesting "Word Doc .docx" as default saving format although my code explicitly asks for ".TXT".


Problem happened while running WORD 2007 on Windows 8.1. Installed WORD 2013 on Windows 8.1, nothing changed, the exact same error keeps occurring.


Below the transcript of the code line where the problem lies:


    ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=TxtSalva, FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatText, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, _
        WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
         SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
        False


Once reached, the macro pauses, the file picker pops open (see below). If one fills it with a FileName, and press SAVE button, the file is effectively saved under that name but then the Macro stops with error message "Runtime error 4198".




Hope Microsoft looks into it soon because "Save As" is the kind of command that is used everywhere and I guess quite a number of users must be very upset and disapointed with that.


Best,


Alex

Mail merge label formatting

Posted: 07 Dec 2013 01:52 PM PST

Word 2010 table question

Posted: 07 Dec 2013 11:02 AM PST

Hi all,


When I create a table or add rows to a table, Word likes to move the column, right indent toward the left. When I finish adding my data, I have to manually highlight the column, and then move the right indent all the way to the right. This occurs AFTER I have manually set the right indent during the table creation.


  • How do you control the default right indent in a table?
  • Does Word use a default value?
  • Why does Word move the right indent after I create my table?
  • It often happens when I use the Insert Above or Insert Below function.


Like most table features, this is very annoying. Many thanks.

Microsoft Word 2007 Corrupted Document Equations

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 03:03 PM PST

Good Evening,

I have a problem that it seems that many people have had in Microsoft word. 

Namely, I have a document that does not open, but instead gives me the error -- "There are problem with the contents -- unspecified Error -- line 2, Column 496425". 

My document has a lot of equations, so I have a feeling that this might be the problem. It does seem similar to the problem on this thread -- http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/11c6f40d-e229-428a-9d76-cf0e5be3b8c8/corrupted-word-2007-file-unspecified-error?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy . 


I am not great with computers but did attempt to do some of the fixes specified in the above thread, but am unable to get the file to work correctly. Perhaps somebody could help me out? I would be extremely grateful.

The file is posted on Google drive at the link



Could somebody please help me out?


Thank you so much,


Jake

General question regarding activation

Posted: 14 Dec 2005 05:36 PM PST


Ron,

The 120 days is from an Article (about Windows XP) by late Alex Nichol,
MS-MVP. Have a look here:

http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.php#howlong

I assume the same rules apply about other retail products. OEM
reinstall on the same system always require telephone activation as
piracy seems to be on the increase with these types of CDs.

As far as I know, the Retail Version of any products can be moved to any
systems provided it is first uninstalled from the first system.
However, it is your word against Microsoft's and nobody is going to come
to your house to check you have done what you claim to have done. It is
a question of trust.

As far as MS support is concerned, they are required to continue support
for at least 10 years after first release of the product. After that
nobody knows what happens but it is likely that a patch may be issued to
avoid activation once the support has ceased. MS can't continue to have
a database of people's products installation for ever. The cost comes
into the equation whether to have a database permanently or not. Office
XP was release in 2002 and so by the time 2012 comes, people would have
stopped using their XP product - at least this is the theory! I still
use some DOS products and Windows 98SE! But hen I am eccentric!

Office 2003, Custom Installation Wizard, MST

Tom,

I haven't tried the Custom Maintenance Wizard, but from looking at it,
it would seem that it would defeat the purpose of me deploying the
install through Group Policy because I would then need to visit the
stations to run the Maintenance file. I think I might contact
Microsoft directly and have them explain to me why the .MST file is
being ignored. If I get anywhere, I will certainly post an answer to
this thread for others.

Thanks for your time,

preinstalled - never gave me an option to activate when I first started an
Office application otherwise I would have. No link available on the Help
menu - nothing happens when you click Activate. I then uninstalled the trial
version and installed a proper retail Student Teacher version that I'd
bought. It is still in reduced functionality. No

Very honored friend,

You have now just the probably best chance of your life to earn really
quickly and very much money in the internet.

Because of the speed, the lucrative get into-possibility and the idea this
draft will overtake already soon other programs in internet.

This program is so newly that once enough time was not, to announce my
characteristic experiences to you.
For it concerns here speed and time to participate in this program.

This special business-idea is in this size , combination and dynamics the
single money salary-program in the internet, that you with your only unique
participation a LIFELONG INCOME Secures.

With that participate in becomes this program your life itself the positive
change.
This business functions.

You need only your enamel-address to the participation

Growth prognosis:

In the coming years, the internet of one of the largest "employers" will be
and you salary with your Downline/customer structure strongly with!

All that, that are now from the beginning at the same time and advocate the
construction of many customers and distribution partners , will harvest over
many, many years the fruits of its intelligent decision. We wish all
participants the expanse visibility that jewel to recognize by
business-opportunity and to earn to participate actively in the guaranteed
success of THIS special program and on that, and that worldwide.

This businessrecommends or business friends to also your friends ,
acquaintance, working colleagues.

That is the CHANCE OF YOUR LIFE.

Quickly - Secure - simply - brilliantly!

PayPal has today over 78 million customers and has also DOLLAR and YEN -
Option.
************************************************** *************************************

PayPal is secure an Online-payments-service, the presently largest and one
of that worldwide. If you not yet use these services, would open in PayPal
on fee and cost-free Online account (Basis Premium-account) In order to
receive also credit-cards-payments. You go in with the opening of this
account no obligations.
The best at the PayPal-service is that the money can be sent by an E-MAIL
ADDRESS to the other E-MAIL ADDRESS without having to sacrifice the private
bank data.

And therefore also the Online-accounts are represented on the lower list
through E-mail-addresses.

- An example, how much you can earn through your participation alone at the
mail-lists of this program, if you have only 10 participants:

1St plain - 10 participants >> EUR 30.00
2Nd plain - 100 participants >> EUR 300.00
3Rd plain - 1,000 participants >> EUR 3,000.00
4Th plain - 10,000 participants >> EUR 30,000.00
5Th plain - 100,000 participants >> EUR 300,000.00
= >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> EUR 333,333.00

You have the plain 5, therefore position 1 reaches, that is , have you now
EUR 333,333.00 only for the mail-list-participation earns.

Does THAT SOUND FOR YOU NOW LIKE A DREAM, OR??? IF YOU NOW STOP START TO
DREAM AND THIS PROGRAM, CAN YOU YOUR DREAMS LIFE.
SEQUENCE THE INSTRUCTIONS HOWEVER EXACTLY, THAT IS IMPORTANT.
************************************************** *************************************

follow now the following steps to start:

Would register you in that "mail-lists" in order to be at the same time if
it concerns large money earn.


Click up: https://www.paypal.com

(should that link not active, would copy it please into your browser)

a) drawer now your Online-account with 12 Euros up
(You pay on your Paypal-account per bank-transfer or credit card the 12
Euros)

The 12 Euros are laughable in contrast to that what you salary if you are at
the same time and remain at the ball.

b ) would send now of your Online-account on each position of the list Per
PayPal 3,- Euro.

- for use-purpose write you: "Service"
- for E-mail-reference write you: "Mail-list" + Order-number (see below)

How you can send money, you find on the web page of Paypal simply declared.

the present list:

1) net >>>>Mail-list 1
2) de >>>>>Mail-list2
3) de >>>Mail-list 3
4) de >>>>>Mail-list4
5) de >>>>>Mail-list5


Through the fast payment per enamel and the reception , it lasts only a few
days until you get first payments on your Paypal-account.

C) would copy this letter / side, would open your letter program (editor,
Wordpad) and would join the letter there on.

The mail-address deletes now behind position 1.
The mail-address moves now behind position 2 towards the top to 1
The mail-address moves now behind position 3 towards the top to 2
The mail-address moves now behind position 4 towards the top to 3
The mail-address moves now behind position 5 towards the top to 4

Position 5 is now empty - would write here your enamel-address a (the same
like in PayPal)

Why the respectively 3 Euros?

-> The respectively 3 Euros are for your mail-lists-participation.
- > With your registration into the mail-list, you secure yourself the
opportunity to be AHEAD with at the same time if again LARGE business-ideas
become born.
- > You get independent of your present position in the list , faster than
other , information and programs in order to be again from the beginning at
the same time yourself the large money knocks with you.

The registration into the mail-list is the door.
Without your registration, the door remains locked you and earn others
otherwise the large money.

The example above stands for ONLY 10 participants.

Now would calculate once, how much money you salary if you have... 50, 100,
or 200 participants
And that is ONLY the BEGINNING.

There is no boundary for your income that you can produce through this
program!

This business functions, but you exactly must follow it!

No success have many persons BECAUSE they do not comply with the
business-plan.

Especially the direction to not to write to try your E-Mail-address to
another place, for that will not function and will lose you a quantity at
potential income. To write neither the registration WITHOUT payment, yet the
attempt, the characteristic E-Mail-address to position 1.
For without payment no the mail-lists include in, and through that reaches
set the characteristic E-Mail-address on position 1 ONLY the first
participants one and is deleted immediately after that.

It is to be made really a magnificent possibility relatively easily money
without large investments.

If you you decide to participate in this business , would follow the
instructions exactly and you betrittst the way to the financial freedom and
security.
If you read this program, you will recognize that this program is very
profitable, the ENTIRE mail-letter is logical, simple and for each
intelligibly.

Would send this mail-letter at personal contacts and as an answer at people,
who send you its programs , that work like you, already in the internet.
Would register you in Paid-mail-services, newsletter , Newsgroups, would
write in fora.

You show that this program already convinced functioned and are by this
system! It does NOT count AS a spam, if you on offer of the people, that
send you mails , with which sending of this mail-letter answer.

Because of the speed and the lucrative get into-possibility , this program
will overtake already soon other programs in internet.

And that is ONLY the BEGINNING.
If the first payments went in on your Paypal-account, all your remaining
doubts will disappear and will recognize you that this super-draft of other
is superior.

Would store your updated letter now. Would send it per E-MAIL or would
construct it into your Web-side on. Endure this letter
Free classified ads, Paid-mail-services, Newsgroups in the network, ect.
confessed.

Little hint:

Would copy this text / this side and would send it at 40 people. The number
40 in the head would retain is easily reach can, 40 a good number of people
that one in the internet.

Each has the chance to become rich. But only the least use the chance that
offers itself you.

UTILIZE YOUR CHANCE NOW AND BE THERE. HURRY UP !!!

How do I transfer Office to my new computer?

Posted: 09 Dec 2005 10:05 AM PST

If this is the full retail version of Office XP, you can install on one
desktop and one portable, not 2 desktops. If this is the Student's and
Teacher's edition, you can install a single copy only. If this is an OEM
version, it is tied to the machine on which it came preinstalled and cannot
be installed on any other machine, ever.

Office 2003 Student's and Teacher's Edition allows for 3 installs, any
combination. Maybe time for an upgrade if you qualify? I have seen prices
at around $125 for the STE - pretty good bargain for 3 machines.

Re-Installing Office - Registering!!!

Posted: 02 Dec 2005 01:25 AM PST


No you can't deactivate any of the MS programs. Once you are on a
database, it is very difficult to come out of it. The cost of removing
somebody manually is exorbitant. I am on one spam database and I can't
get out of it. I stopped using an email address for about a year and
still the messages were still coming. the account was also closed for
one complete year but no effect!

What you need to do is to copy two files before formatting the HD. The
two files are:

OPA11.DAT
OPA11.bak

These files are located in (default location unless changed by you):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\Data

Also, please note that Office 2003 can be installed on two systems so if
you have used only one so far then it should be easy to install and
activate it on another.

Before copying the two files, please ensure you have renamed the new
files after reformatting to:

OPA11.001
OPA11.002

Please use common-sense when replacing the original files to avoid
headaches.

/proc is a separate file system. So is /boot, usually, which is part of why
things are confusing. Never try to run "/du" on /proc, it's just confusing.
 

Wait. This is fairly pointless, and it will misreport the contents of
directories that have hardlinks between them for files on the same
partition.

You want to find out what your partitions are with "df", and run "du -x -h"
on those individual partitions to get the right information.

Mouse Disabling Wheel Click Button

I'm afraid not.

Perhaps I have not described the problem properly.

The mouse has three buttons, with the mouse wheel providing the middle
button.

But this is very sensitive. So when I scroll, I often accidentally
click as well, which ends up pasting some selection in into what ever
I am trying to scroll over.

So I want to disable the mouse wheel button, whilst keeping mouse
wheel scrolling. Then I want to use three button emulation to get
middle mouse button functionality.

And alternative would be to have middle mouse button disabled while
scrolling with the wheel is happening. This would be the best option
of all.

I'm sure I had something like this working before.

Cannot boot Linux from hard disk Athlon 64, A8N-SLI

Posted: 01 Jun 2005 10:16 PM PDT

Upon further investigation, I discovered the problem is with ordering
of the
SATA disks. The disks are connected to connectors SATA1, SATA2, SATA3
on the motherboard, and they are seen as such by grub at bootup:
SATA1 = (hd0), SATA2 = (hd1) & SATA3 = (hd2). However the kernel sees
it differently: SATA1 = /dev/sdb, SATA2 = /dev/sdc & SATA3 = /dev/sda.
All the boot stuff is installed in /dev/sda1, but then at bootup time
that
partition appears as (hd2,0) to grub, not (hd0,0).

Any ideas how to fix this? Or should I just live with it.

If yes, concretely how to configure guest Windows XP to go on Internet ie.
with Internet Explorer ('VMware PCNet Adapter' is already up).

Need help printer setup on Redhat Linux

Posted: 01 Jun 2005 05:29 AM PDT

[ Followup-To -> comp.os.linux.setup seems best match ]

In comp.os.linux.setup RC <noaa.gov>: 
 

Sure you can, there's no need for any xserver on the system just
to run some xapplication. X is full network aware. Best idea to
use it through ssh, install the small XFree86-xauth package and
request X11 Forwarding via 'ssh -C -X remotebox'.

On the other hand cups can be setup through its web interface,
again you can use ssh to forward the connection from your GUI
browser to the remote system. Or reconfigure cups to be
accessible from your desktop, IIRC default is localhost only.

Good luck

Linux network buld server

Posted: 31 May 2005 02:13 PM PDT

I have a network server setup. I have a client server that I will use
to build drives over the network. The network server has NTP enabled
and the client server has PXE enabled. Currently the network server
recognizes the client via the PXE and the client recognizes the network
server. I need for the network server to partition the OS drive and
load the OS on the client server.
I am fairly new to this and need to know how I can make this happen?

did you post it to a general group - did you have any success with an

Earned Value re BCWP at Task and Resource Level

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 11:23 AM PST

In the tools, Options menu, Calculation tab, make sure the first item
"Updating task status updates resource status" is turned on. That option
sets or severs the link between % Complete and % Work Complete. It's
slightly misleading in its wording because it seems to imply it's a one-way
connection when in fact it's two-way. With it turned on, entering %
Complete also updates Actual Work and entering Actual Work updates %
Complete.

Resource vs. Task Dependency

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 10:49 AM PST

You can get much the same effect with resource calendars and the leveling
engine although it doesn't give you any graphical indication of a "link."
Task dependencies sequence tasks based on their logical relationships in the
project's physical processes. Resource dependencies sequence tasks based on
the availability of the resources required to do the work. How does that
differ from Project's present method of leveling to sequence tasks to
resolve overallocations, coupled with using task priorities to establish a
preferred after-leveling order and the behavior of the resource calendar
governing what time periods in which it is possible for the task to occur?
As far as I know, "resource dependencies" allow the PM to say "I want Joe to
do tasks A and B and since I already know he's not going to be able to do
both of them at the same time, I sequence them with a link." But that's
just doing manually what leveling does for you.

I was hoping you'd try a formula of your own! In the Graphical Indicators

type in 25% and select the Red disk. Follow that pattern for the other

Hi Glenn,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I don't know if I read you correctly, but provided you don't want to assign
them by name, you could call them, say, workers. Then in the Resource Sheet
view, double-click workers to bring up the Resource Information dialog. In
the General tab, you can create a profile of how many resources there are in
this group by changing the Units % and the date when the change takes place.

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 :-))

Project Problems - BUGS!

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 08:05 AM PST

Hi Steve

i can't replicate it either in a new file - but the problem was on a big
project file that was heading towards total corruption .... and it had heaps
of sub-tasks that were successors to their summary tasks - i looked at the
printout prior to these problems occuring and these tasks where not
sub-tasks of the summary tasks at that stage .. they then got moved around
..... and this was the start of the problems with the file ... another
problem with this file was the summary task's durations were not calculating
correctly and every time you did anything in the file you got a circular
error message which the users had been ignoring for about 2 weeks!!!!
(luckily we resuced the file and all is well now)
