Ah, so simple and obvious! :-) I hadn't set it to use the formula for summary

Majid,
I find it easier to help someone if they explain what they are trying to
do rather than how they are trying to do it. So, instead of telling us
you want to highlight Flag1, how about explaining what Flag1 represents.
In other words, what determines if Flag1 is "yes" or "no"? Is there some
kind of criteria (formula or VBA code)? Is it changed manually by the
user? Whatever.

When you say you want Flag1 highlighted, what do you mean? There are
several text formatting options - color, italic, bold, etc. What is
special about summary lines? What determines why and when they will be
highlighted?

More questions than answers I'm afraid.

jz,
Boy wouldn't that be great - Shilling versus Johnson.

Let me answer the two questions I saw in your multiple posts. First, the
data on the right side of Usage reports is for numerical information
only. It is possible to achieve what you want, but you will have to use
VBA to export the information to another application (e.g. Excel).
Second, Gantt bar text cannot be wrapped. The intent of being able to
attach text to a Gantt bar is to provide simple reference information on
the graphic, not to give details such that text wrapping would be
required.

Hope this helps.

Combining Linked Projects

Roland,
Did I misinterpret what is happening? I understood you to say that when
your subprojects were inserted into a master, some of the tasks slammed
over to the Project Start date of the master, however (and I had to
confirm this with my own test), this will only occur if the subprojects
are statically consolidated into the master (i.e. subprojects not linked
to the master). In a dynamically consolidated master, the tasks in each
subproject adhere to the Project Start date of their respective
subprojects.

Perhaps we need a re-statement of what is happening before we can offer
other suggestions.

By the way, I understand about customer wants. I just hope they are not
looking for detail planning of any tasks beyond 12 months. Tasks beyond
the rule-of-thumb 12 month window should be expressed as "planning
packages". That is, they have a rough idea of Duration and perhaps even
cost, but no details. As time marches on and those out-year planning
packages get within 3 months of the present, then they should be detail
planned.

Just for reference, I am a firm believer that the constraint types
"must-start-on" and "must-finish-on" should never be used. When you get
down to it, they defy reality. It is said there are only two certainties
in life. One of them has to do with "rendering unto Caesar" and the
other has to do with the grim reaper. The "best laid plans" do not fit
into either category. Oops, there I am on that soapbox again. Sorry.

1 Task, x Resources

Hi
thanks for your patience.
OK, here is what I mean.
I have 10 stones I have to bring from A to B.
I can only carry one at a time.
For each stone I take one hour
So if I do it alone it is 10 hours of work for me.
So is the "duration" I meant.
Now my neighbor is popping by, as weak/strong as I
am and offers me help.
So we do it parallel.
So we carry the stone in 5 hours. 2 people carry 5
stones.
So the "elapsed time" is 5 hours although the
actual working hours (man days usually called) are
10 hours as planned.

So if I know how much effort a task is (in my case
10 hours) I want to see how much faster I am
throwing in more ressources (people). Yeah Yeah, I
know that in software dev it does not work this
way, but I am not talking about software dev.
So with four ressources I can finish the task in
2.5 hours
I hope this is clearer now, because I doubt my MSP
would add value to your understanding

Bill - the software was purchased through the university's Campus Agreement (not retail through the bookstore) as Microsoft Part # 731-01793 "Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac with Service Pack 1". FYI: the DVD came in a sleeve w/ a yellow product key label along with another label "Media Tag X14-86969" on the back of the DVD sleeve. The DVD sleeve was sealed in a clear plastic sleeve (bag).

ZERO apps have been installed on this MacBook since it was received from Apple until the ill-fated attempt to install Office 2008. From my perspective, either the product key is invalid "as printed" (MS would have to verify the check-digit/encoding), the wrong DVD was somehow inserted into the DVD sleeve (unlikely in a production environment) or … Office 2008 thinks another copy was installed by Apple?

Your recommendations on potential solutions are welcomed. Just don't say "contact Microsoft for a replacement product key". I've already been down that road and found that the links on <https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&c1=505&gprid=12853&&st=1> do not work – as a matter of fact, this issue was reported directly to you on 7/23/2009 2:23 AM PST by com who was having Office 2008 activation problems -- your response was "Try this again or from a different computer. All the links here work for me." -- well, at least you didn't add "try re-booting". Nonetheless, the links are (still) broken for this 20+year IT veteran, too.

Question about different Office 2008 editions

Posted: 08 Oct 2009 02:54 PM PDT

I had an Office 2008 Home and Student Edition as well as Standard edition discs. I installed the Home & Student and everything worked. Here is what I was experiencing shortly after the discontinuation:
In all Office apps., I was unable to add new words to the dictionary. When right clicked or brought up in the spell checker, the word "Add" was dimmed. Also, in Entourage some emails that would be would be sent would never get delivered. It would say that they were sent but the recipient would never get them. This was random.

I don't seem to be having this problem now - hopefully it doesn't pop up in the future.

Depending on what you want the doc for - you can always take a screenshot (cmd,shift,4) which produces a png image doc. You can then open that, do save as,choose jpg and move the slider up and down to choose the level of resolution you require versus the size of the doc you are prepared to tolerate.

Word hangs when i control click (ctrl-click)

Posted: 01 Oct 2009 03:46 PM PDT

after doing a few further tests, i've discovered the problem is a conflict between word and sugarsync.

if sugarsync manager is open when i open word, i have the ctrl-click hang. if i open word first then it's ok, even if i then open sugarsync.

i'm not sure what to do to fic it though, beyond taking SS out of log in items and rememebering to open it after word. (problematic for back up software!). i will contact SS support though.

Replace lower-case with small caps in MS Word

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 11:27 AM PST

I have a large text with many expressions placed within single quotation marks, with an initial capital letter: 'Here is an example'. I would like a Find and Replace operation that would Find these, one by one, and Replace each chosen instance with the same expression in small caps, deleting the single quotation marks and retaining the initial large-cap letter. I don't want to do this globally; not all such expressions in my text should be changed. The example above then would delete the single quotation marks and retain the initial capital H, and change "ere is an example" into small caps. I've tried using wildcards (the asterisk) but can't get it to work. Many thanks in advance.

MS Office, particularly Word

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 10:47 AM PST

Okay, I am totally ignorant concerning current versions of Word- particularly regarding backwards compatibility with Word.doc (circa 2001-2002). Details: I have all of my documents (including a book I wrote) in Word.doc. I wish to post excerpts for interested readers on my website. How do I provide downloadable material in a form that is compatible with current Office software? Convert (by opening and then SAVE as) to another format such as either Rich Text, WordPad, or html before uploading to my site? Or is there a free or inexpensive conversion software available? Smaller portions are no problem since I can cut/paste; but I do not want larger files to be in a inconvenient form for readers. Thanks, and excuse my non-current ignorance. 

Download in the wrong language.

I recently downloaded Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 from Amazon, and went through all the steps downloading it fine. It then came to opening the program, and all the features were in a foreign language.

I decided to uninstall the program, and realised whilst reinstalling, that the language was set to Suomi, a Finish dialect. There is a photo of this

So I realised that this needed changing. I have scouted around and have found no method for doing so.

Mail Merge Question

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 08:57 AM PST

Hi,

The 1st 6 lines of a Word form document are mail merge address fields.  (Name, Title, Organization, Addr 1, Addr 2, City,St,Zip)

Some of the addresses in the data list use up 3 lines, some use 4, 5 or all 6 fields. After the mail merge is run, if an address field is not used, it is left out of the document (which is what I want).

I'd like to keep the 6 mail merge address fields at the top of the document and have the rest of the document ALWAYS start at exactly 2.5 inches from the top of the page, regardless of how many lines are used for the address.   I don't want the placement of the remainder of the document to be dependent upon the length of the address section.

I can not use a text box to do this since a related macro for filing files will not recognize the address if I use a text box

I was wondering if an  "if, then" function that says if there are only 3 lines of text in the address section, add 3 blank lines, if there are 4 lines of text in the address, add 2 blank lines, etc. would work?  Can you provide the command to do this in the merge form document?

If possible, I would like to solve this without using a macro.  Thank you for any assistance in this matter!

Computing the space left on a page.

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 03:57 AM PST

Hi Guys....

I'm using Office 2010 under Windows 7.


I have a number of mailmerge template documents which I wish to populate using VBA.

Each template starts off with an image (the Company logo), then has the mailmerge fields for the Customer details, then some text, the number of lines in which varies with the template.


I have some VBA code in the template which fires after the mailmerge.

The VBA opens an Excel spreadsheet, reads product data in order to populate various listboxes on a Userform, then allows the User to select a variable number of Products.


All this is working just fine.


My next goal, having saved the selected product details in an array, is to write the array as a list to the bottom of the template document.

Again, I can achieve that quite easily.


The problem is that I'd like to be able to determine when I've got one line left on the page, and more than one Product line still to write.

In that situation I'd like to use the last line on Page 1 to say "(Continued overleaf)", then continue writing the products list on the next page.


In order to achieve this I need to be able to work out exactly how many lines are left on the document before an automatic page break will be triggered.

This means I have to know where my first line will go on the page, i.e. on what line does the basic template's text end.

I've read up about font sizes, and the 120% rule for single spaced text lines, and how to determine the document size, so if I knew which line I was startin on I could work out how many lines were left on the page and act accordingly.


My problem is that I can't seem to find any VBA which will tell me the location of the current end point of the template in terms of the number of lines used, or the distance down the page in points (or any other measurements).


Can any kind soul point me in the right direction? I'm reasonably competent with VBA, but more so in Excel, which seems to have richer functions than thos in Word.


Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated....

Resize all equations with my MS word document

Posted: 30 Dec 2013 02:53 AM PST

Hello everyone,

I use MS Equation 3.0 in Word 2013.

The problem is all the equations are too small because of the wrong size/scaling applied to them.

What I have to do to fix them is:
1) Right click on an Equation 3.0 object, select 'Format Object'.
2) On the 'Size' tab, under the Scale section, I have to untick 'Lock aspect ratio' and 'Relative to original picture size'. Next, I type in a 100% for both height and width. Press 'OK'.
3) Next, I have to double click on the Equation 3.0 object to enter its edit mode. After that, I click outside the equation edit box to unselect it. This will regenerate the correct type size for the equation.

The question is:

How can I automate this since I have thousands of equations within my document.

Cheers.

Reverse hyperlink?

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 06:40 PM PST

I've put hundreds of hyperlinks in my book to other sections of the book. They work well but something seems to be missing: going back to where the hyperlink is. I realize that shift-F5 goes back but only if an edit is made near the hyperlink. I usually put a space at the end of the nearest line, but I imagine there might be a better way. It's hard to remember to put the space in (and delete it).

On a related subject: I wonder if the hyperlinks (and reverse ones) will work properly if I put the book into PDF. And if I issue a Kindle edition.

How to insert a saved set of Text?

Is there a way to do something like that with Word 2013?

How can I change my printing defaults? (Note: NOT printer defaults)

Posted: 29 Dec 2013 04:27 PM PST

This should be a simple enough thing.  I want my default printing option to be "print single page".


Why?


So that whenever I or my wife forget to choose the single page option, we don't end up with 15 wasted pieces of paper spewing out of our high-speed printer before we can cancel the print job.


Example:  We have a recipe file that we use to print out recipes to use and dispose of after cooking.  We occasionally forget to choose the "current page" option, and suddenly find our printer churning out the pages.

But if we're that forgetful, won't we make a similar mistake if we forget the default is a single page when we really want the entire document, or a different page?  Of course, we will.  But the cost of that mistake is a single page -- at most -- instead of 15 or 20.

reason to even consider the unsupported option.

Hi Matt

How I understand it, if we touch the database in any way, MS will not
support us? If we modify a aspx page in the front end or like in this case
the activity, and 6 months down the line we have a problem with a totaly un
related part of the system, will MS give support?

Modifying the database in any way is un supported, and that I fully
understand, because of the complexity of the strucuture and all, if we were
to add a trigger to a table, that would modify/insert data in another
database, would that sort of solution also be unsupported? Or will MS still
give us help, except that part of the system that we modified outside the
allowed parameters?

Thanks for clarity on that.

Importing data into CRM

Posted: 06 Sep 2004 02:05 PM PDT

Have you tried using the Data Migration Framework?
It imports the data onto CDF Database before migrating it
onto MSCRM. While on the CDF Database, there are several
tools to cleanup the data, although Duplicate checking is
not part of them, bhut you could create Stored procedures
to do that as long as you specify which combined fields
would qualify a Duplicate record.

Outlook CRM & MSDE Issues

Posted: 06 Sep 2004 11:21 AM PDT

No, the install can be a little touchy. Can you post more detail on the exact
error your are getting?

Also, double check all the pre-reqs in the Implementation guide, to the letter.
Especially domain membership.

You can add the new licenses via the License Manager utility that is available
in Deployment Manager.

Microsoft CRM Service Problem -- really urgent

Posted: 04 Sep 2004 03:47 AM PDT

You can always try to re-register the service. But first, verify that the otehr
services are still registered as well. There should be about 10 Crystal
services and 4 Microsoft CRM services on the machine.

If it's only the security service, you can re-register it by running the
following command:

crmsecurityservice.exe -r

It's possible, but it's not supported or documented by adding
JavaScript-Code in the appropiate activity ASPX files.

MSDN Webcasts

I wouldn't expect anything "official" on these topics, as the re-use of the
controls is not supported.

I agree, the webcasts are useful.

The topic I really want help with, however, is how to build appropriate
asp.net customisations within the application. (Which is not covered in the
SDK at all, apart from a stylesheet example!)

ie How to make use of existing controls, best practices for rendering XML
etc etc

Are there likely to be webcasts for more advanced cusomisation such as this?

Does anybody have any documentation for this?

Thanks.

Hidden text boxes aren't hiding info.

Posted: 03 Sep 2004 09:23 AM PDT

This sdoesn't sound like a CRM Server issue, but more of a client browser issue.
After all, CRM is only serving up the HTML, the browser decides how to display
it.

Is this a problem with all client machines or only a few? Seems like it may be
a browser compatibility issue. What version of IE is the client running? Is
the .Net framework version up to date on the client?

Hi everyone,
I had created a web application (ASP.NET) which is an Add-On to the

your valuable solution that what could be the problem in MSCRM server not
allowing hidden text boxes.

Note: It is HTML hidden text box.

Workflow redeployment

Posted: 03 Sep 2004 08:27 AM PDT

Any workflow rule you import that references something specific (an absolute
reference) to an individual deployment (say a specific user or team) will be
imported into your new system, however the rule will come in dis-abled. You
will need to go into the rule, restablish the relationship (updating it to
match the specifics on your new deployment) and then save and activate it.
Anything the workflow references that is a logical relationship (the owner
of the account, the account itself) will be maintained and thus will not
require restablishing the relationship.
