Now let me answer, try the docu first:

"Red Hat GFS 6.1 Administrator's Guide" should answer your
question and hopefully enable you to get things working.

Good luck

It is possible to use a swap file. There is reportedly a performance

programing c with fedora core 3

And buy a copy of the Kernighan and Ritchie book on programming C to learn
how it's done. I'd also recommend getting a good book on "make", because
you're going to want to bundle this stuff up.

That default compiler name of "cc" is actually a link to "gcc", the GNU C
Compiler. It's freeware, completely open source, and is one of the most
popular and portable compilers in the world.

I would have said your job includes educating the ignorant, actually, as
well. But since you're into old software, Promise at one time made an
adaptor for IDE drives which allowed you to put two drives into RAID-1
off a single cable connection. So your controller thought it had one
drive, but in truth it had an itty-bitty RAID-1 array.

Several companies make a box of IDE drives which looks like a single
SCSI drive (or small number of same in JBOD) when in reality it's RAID
of some flavor. This allows you to use an obsolete but supported SCSI
controller from the last millenium.

Final thought, you could build the kernel as UML and run it under a
newer kernel, use vmware (maybe, netBSD works), or put the hardware on a
modern machine with proper backup and use nbd or NFS for the file system.

I would tell management that RH8.0 is like Win98, and that it's time to
move on. If your developers wrote code which is so non-portable that it
won't run with a recompile you have a non-technical problem, baaad
practices.

If you must provide Exchange capability you can do so, Google for some
suggestions. Note that Mozilla on Windows can use standard (POP3) mail,
if you want to get out of the Exchange business. Someone can probably
offer a suggestion for a groupware which uses shared schedules, the main

How do i assign one resource to two tasks...

Posted: 22 Feb 2005 01:11 PM PST

I'd just echo Gerards response and enter the hours of work in the resource
usage view on the dates you want him there. But if it were me, I'd bite the
bullet and carry each of those 50 branch audits as a separate task. Each
one of them can be scheduled independently, each one of them can be done by
a different resource if you had enough auditors, and I suspect that each of
them will be done in a separate physical location. That adds up to 50
different tasks, not one elongated task, to my thinking. You know your
project better than I do but I've found that trying to cut corners like that
ends up costing far more aggravation than it saves in the long run. I'd put
in a summary task "Branch Audits" and indent all 50 locations as subtasks
underneath it. And as a side benefit, you can glance at the Gantt chart and
tell the manager of the Main St branch that the auditor will be at his
location on Tuesday April 12.

word will not open 2003 doc documens

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

Ever since I have installed office 2010 I have had problems opening word 2003 documents which were in fact created in word. I have seen a dialog box in saving docs about choosing to maintain compatibility of docx. with doc. This is astonishing, but could it be a cause of the problem. Meanwhile, when I try to open the same doc documents in word perfect--no problem at all, except that the outline format is off. Is there some choice in options or elsewhere which will overcome the issue?


Not all prior word 2003 docs but many, and I cannot figure why.

Dialog Error

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 11:43 AM PST

When I open Word I get the dialog box "C:\users\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins\C:\Program Files(x86)\ Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12\Program\dngword.dll" is not a valid office add-in.

 

After clicking OK 3 times the dialog goes away and the program functions normally.  I have Uninstalled NaturallySpeaking12. The directory Nuance\NaturallySpeaking12 does not exist. I have Uninstalled and Reinstalled Word to no avail.

 

How do I rid myself of this dialog? (Version Office 10)

Exporting PDF - Set permission for print and copy to clipboard

Hi there

I want to export a PDF from Word 2013, and prevent everyone from printing of copying the content to the clipboard. I can only find the options to set a user and owner password, but no option for setting print or copy permissions. Is there a way to set permissions for printing and copying to clipboard from the PDF, when exporting from Word 2013?

Office Dictionary

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:50 AM PST

Hello


I want to make a dictionary for Microsoft Office, starting from scratch - for a variation of Greek that is not currently available.


I don't want to exclude the spelling that is considered incorrect in this variation and add the correct one to the custom dictionary, as I want to be able to use the standard Greek dictionary when I need to. Actually, what I need to do is to change the spelling of most words, so creating the new dictionary by editing the standard would make things easier.


Is this possible? How can I do it?

Word 2k7 Autocorrect line returns

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 09:22 AM PST

Hi,

I'm having trouble in Office 2007 word. When I type out a word that causes Autocorrect offer "Press Enter to Insert" the rest of the word and I press Enter, it not only does not insert the word, it returns to the start of the next line on the page instead.

This issue is driving me nuts, can someone offer suggestions here? It was previously working in word 2003.

For example: 
If I type "Febr" it shows the little grey bubble with this exact wording: "February (Press ENTER to Insert)" . I press the enter key and it doesn't insert the full word, it just moves to the next line.  

any thoughts?

Thanks for reading,

Linking data (single cell or row) to Word 2010 uses absolute cell reference

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:57 AM PST

I have an excel spreadsheet where I want to link only a single cell (A10) to a Word 2010 document.
However when a insert a row above A10, it updates Word and shows the data that is in A10, instead of A11.
The same happens if I sort the excel document.

For some reason, Paste link uses absolute cell reference instead of relative cell reference
This only happens if I link a single cell, or several cells in one row. Once I link cells in 2 rows, Excel uses relative cell reference.

How can I get Excel to use relative cell reference when linking one cell?

I copy cell in Excel.
In Word - Clipboard - Paste Special - Paste link - Microsoft Excel Worksheeot Object (or Formatted Text) - OK

I'd be thankful for any suggestions

Creating a Macro for Resizing several photos in Word while keeping the aspect ration

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 08:53 AM PST

I am looking to create a macro that will resize photos in Word.  I bring in a number of photos, some are horizontal and some are vertically oriented.  There are different amounts of photos each time I do this.  I would like to have a macro that will resize all the horizontally oriented ones to a height of 3.3" and the vertically oriented ones to a width of 3.3".  The aspect ratio needs to be maintained for each photo. 

 

I've been trying the code for programs like this and I was able to use one, but it didn't distinguish between the different orientations.  I was thinking that if the macro was written to check the photo so if the height divided by the width is greater than 1, then it would make the width 3.3".  and if not, then it would make the height 3.3". 

 

Also....after the photos are resized, I want to add a couple of lines of text that would be beneath each photo.  Would it be easier to add the text at the same time as the resizing of each photo, or have a separate subroutine that runs after all the photos are resized? 

 

My problem is that I have only taken one VB class and it was several years ago.  I understand loops and if/then statements, just don't really know how to code it. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

initializing Office in a second computer

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:47 AM PST

I bought and paid for a legitimate copy of Office Home and student 2010 in the summer of 2012 and used it on a new Sony laptop for about a year. Two weeks after the warranty on the computer expired, it collapsed on me and despite several expensive efforts to resuscitate it by the nearest Sony service station I junked it. I replaced it with a Samsung laptop but have been unable to initialize Office on it. Obviously, the problem is they think I am using a pirated copy. Is there any way to get around this problem?  

Is it possible to insert formulas by script in Word or Excel?

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 05:00 AM PST

A few days ago I tried to use LibreOffice, and I found that it's  convenient to insert formulas just by typing script in LibreOffice. For example, if I want to insert a formula of the integral of sine function, just open the formula script window and type "int from a to b sinx dx". It's faster than just by clicking or moving cursor up and down. Is there any similar way to insert formulas like that? MS Office is good, and would be better if such function is added.

Find phrases with Spell Check, or modify Grammar Check?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 11:36 PM PST

In Word 2010, I use the dictionary exceptions file to identify as misspelled words in my firm's style guide that I have not memorized; however, the dictionary is limited to single words.

Is there a way to force Word to search for text strings that include a space character, and if so, how?

If not, for the grammar checker, is there a reference file similar to the spell checker's dictionary, and can I get into it?

Finally, if the grammar checker is instead entirely programmatically driven, is there a way to get at it and modify it?

Word 2013 is reporting the incorrect user agent to the website

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 06:16 PM PST

Hi all,
   First off, I'm under an NDA so I can't provide weblinks. That said, we have an author that is sending out Word Documents with hyperlinks to one of our websites. However when she clicks on the links in Word 2013 on her new Dell XPS (with the latest IE version she says) the User Agent is being reported to our server as IE7 and prompting her to upgrade her browser to the latest version of IE.
   At this point I'm uncertain if she has fully updated her current version of Windows, but if she's still having an issue after that, could someone direct me toward where to look to fix what Word is declaring/seeing as the User Agent?
   I know this is vague, so if there are too many questions pertaining to what may be causing this, let me know and I'll get the required data.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers!

why wont shapes stay where i save them when i re open a document???

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 05:30 PM PST

basically i have a colour spectrum in my document and i need to create different sized black sections to go over the top of some parts.
i use insert>shapes>rectangle and then edit it to gradient fill with black and fading to transparent to place over the top of the coloured section. 
when i have placed it where it needs to go i save it and close the document. when i re open the document these black sections have changed position and arent as a gradient fill anymore. they are just plain black or a completely random colour like grey or blue. can anyone tell me why this is? i have asked so many people and get told about wrapping and formatting but have done everything they suggest and it still wont stay where i put it. other than that, no one has ever heard of this problem and im at a loss for what to do. please can someone help?
i have 2010 microsoft word starter if this makes a difference. 

Can I make the "save as" box small again?

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 03:28 PM PST

I have 2003 version of WORD and at some time I hit the wrong key so that now when I save a word document the save box is the entire screen. I have to place the curser all the way down to the lower right of screen. Before, the save box was very small and that made it easier to save documents.   possible to make the box small again?

 

Thank You,

Tom Rawlings

That 25 characdter code to activate office is not a PID--it's a product key.
MSFT has confused people for years with the two numbers. Either and you did
not say that Office is on the box or not. On the box you can retrieve
easily. Off the box call 'em.

Best,

Office is dead after system migration to new disk

Re-install didn't work.

To summarize the victory, Installer cleanup followed by heavy-handed
deletion of the Office directory tree worked. Then a simple re-install from
scratch was possible. Had to do the same thing with Streets and Trips.

I'm happy again. Thanks for the clues.

I'll check those out because the main issue is "wireless networking".

On another note, I'm having issues with my Outlook 2003 PST files after a
complete reinstall on my laptop. Is there an article you know of offhand that
deals with setting up a new Outlook 2003 install with existing PSTs? I really
think part of the trouble is, and has been, upgrading to the 2003 version. My
older PSTs were the older format.
Thanks Again,

Fax - Office 2003

Posted: 25 Jan 2006 08:46 AM PST

I was trying to use the Office 2003 CD. In the meantime, I had downloaded and
installed the 2 drivers - big mistake. When I started using the Win xp pro CD
to set up faxing, it could not copy the needed files. I then deleted the
drivers I had downloaded and the fax setup when very smoothly. In the process
of all of this, I talked with a friend of mine who was also having problems
setting up faxing. His problem was the same but the cause was different. He
determined that he was trying to use two different sp packs. I appreciate
your response. Thanks and mayve this will help others I have run across on
the internet who are also having problems setting up faxing.

Your system must have Windows XP SP2 so you can't install SP1a.

To correct your Office problems, I suggest do Detect & Repair of Office
from:

Help, Detect & Repair.

If you have MSOCache folder on your system then it would correct and
reinstall all missing files. If you don't have the MSOCache folder it
would prompt you to insert your original Office CD in the drive.

MSI Message

Posted: 23 Jan 2006 12:30 PM PST

Thanks, Mickman.

I removed Norton SystemWorks and completely reinstalled to fix the problem,
although I have another problem which may or may not be related. Now,
whenver I reboot my PC, I get a pop-up message that says "Norton Protection:
Attention.......Access Denied, drive C." I hit OK, and then the computer
finishes booting and seems to be ok. Actually, I think it continues
rebooting properly, even if I leave the Access Denied screen up without
hitting OK.

Any idea what this might be?

Thanks again,

Richard

Significant issues with Office 2008 and Snow Leopard

Posted: 27 Aug 2009 08:13 PM PDT

Yup same problem here. Did CLEAN install of Leopard (e.g., erased disk) and
reinstalled Office 2008. Getting database error too, and repairing database
does not take away update error.

So, I cannot update Office 2008 from a fresh install of Snow Leopard and a
fresh install of Office 2008.

Anyboby else????

MS Office 2008 Installer does not Recognize my MAC OS X

Further feedback:

The installer DOES give the customer their PID before reaching the 'drive
selection' screen.

The customer should be able to receive support from that point on.

Is it possible that you've dragged the installer application to the desktop
or something similar? This can sometimes cause permissions issues.

Microsoft Office 2008 Compatibility with Snow Leopard?

Posted: 26 Aug 2009 02:40 PM PDT

Hi Neil;

One point to add to Diane's reply:

Both the Windows & OS X operating systems have at least one incontrovertible
common aspect -- they're mass-produced, marketing-driven products.

Just like any such product, what is released based on marketing deadlines is
*rarely* right. Those who are obsessed with being the first kid on the block
to have it are the final link in the quality control food chain. Regardless
of what MS or Apple or anyone else might "announce" there will be problems,
and those problems will not be resolved until after the real world stuff
hits the fan. Advice before the product even hits the streets is like
getting reassurances from the guy trying to sell it to you and a gaggle of
other pseudo-authorities who have no first-hand knowledge or experience with
the product.

Once a couple of updates have been released by both companies the dust will
start to settle and a genuinely intelligent conclusion can be drawn. If
compatibility really is the concern "Wait and see!" is the best advice.

You sly devil you ;-)

But the links will still point to the wrong cells if the OP inserts or

That was the main concern. Is there any way to avoid that?

Can you clarify?

It isn't clear whether it's an OS X Update, or an Office Update that broke
the original installation of Office. Exact details help.

If the Office update disabled your Office install, then you should have
received a pop-up dialog stating that Office detected an 'invalid product
key'.

If you still have your original DVD's, I'd recommend re-installing from DVD,
and then working with Microsoft Customer support to get it working.
(Installation issues shouldn't count against their two support calls).
