Choosing a mail Server for Linux

No?

"Mail-boxes A mail-box is a file, or possibly a directory of
files, where incoming messages are stored."

This is what you access via POP3/IMAP.

From the OP:

"I'm not planning on allowing any SMTP access, but it would be
nice to have a web-based mail client available plus pop3 of
course :)"

The fun part is, that it doesn't make much sense, you won't have
much fun with a "web-based mail client" without MTA. The URL
shows high-level concept of electronic mail. That you didn't got
it even after reading isn't my fault. ;-)

Perhaps the OP meant he would only allow sending through a
web-based client?

no GUI with debian 3.1

Posted: 04 Sep 2005 09:00 PM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Dale S uttered the immortal words:
 

Did you tell Debian to install a window manager or desktop environment?
Debian is not a particularly newbie friendly distro. It puts control into
the hands of the user and as such only installs the base system unless you
tell it otherwise.
 

Where you asked if you wanted to run tasksel, dselect or attitude? If so,
yes, you missed a step.
 

Run aptitude and have a look around or pick one such as KDE, Gnome or XFCE4
and install it with "apt-get install kde", "apt-get install gnome" or
"apt-get install xfce4". Go to http://www.debian.org/doc/ to learn about
APT and all things Debian.

Kernel Install Question: Is "make install" really necessary ?

make install (on x86) actually simply runs /sbin/installkernel if available.
Exact effect is dependent on distribution. Some of them (like mandrake)
provide very intelligent installkernel script that automatically creates

These are more kernel-internal oriented.

Also, if you start to investigate yourself and you post some initial

However, most people would use more partitions,
and at least share /home between the two Linux systems.

Thank you for responding. Perhaps I wasn't clear: I did not create a
resource called equipment. I created many resources (machinery, etc) all of

all of the equipment.

Saving Different Outline Levels Across Views

Hi Scott,

You could create a filters to filter out the levels of outline you don't
wish to show. (Project>Filtered for> More Filters> New) Use the field
[Outline Level] test "Is less than or equal to" and specify the level you
want to view.

Then create a View (View>More Views> New or copy an existing view.) In the
view definition select the filter you created.

However, while you can't add an addtional table to the split screen
view at the bottom, you can add an addtional column in the table up in
the Entry View/Entry Table to display resources, and you can modify the
Gantt to show resources, or predecessors and/or successors next to the
Gantt bars, and be able to see Resources, Predecessors and Successors
all at the same time.

Limit what can be viewed

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 11:15 PM PST

Sorry, if someone can open the mpp project plan file at all they'll have
access to the whole thing. If you use Project Server to allow others to
view the plan and have users other than the project managers viewing the
plan with Project Web Access you have more control but unless you have a
whole portfolio of projects and numbers of managers and users it wouldn't be
reasonable to install Server just to have that facility. A better bet, for
the users whole only should see a limited set of views, is to print the
views you want them to have to pdf files and send that those but not allow
them access to the project plan itself. That's not so unreasonable - after
all, how many people in your firm have access to its business plan for the
next 3 years?

Is MS-Project good for an Architectural Environment

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 08:19 PM PST

While I've never seen Project used specifically used in an A/E
environment, I used it, and other scheduling software, in a
construction engineering environment for many years, which is very
simliar. Since Critical Path Scheduling (what Project and the other
high end software packages do) was first developed in the construction
industry, it works extremely well there. It's much trickier to
implement in "soft" projects, like marketing and software development,
though I have applied it in those areas as well.
As for Primavera, it's really intended for very high end scheduling,
like DOD, big public projects, airports, highway systems, etc. I don't
know how much it's changed since I last looked at it quite a few years
ago, but back then, it took months, by the sales reps own admission, to
become good at, and years to become proficient. Primarvera also makes a
younger brother to P3 (nickname for the big Primavera software) called
SureTrak. It's more along the lines of Project Standard. Stand alone,
reasonably simple, GUI front end. It's probably still better then
Project from a pure scheduler's standpoint, but not nearly as user
friendly.
Of course, there are a number of other scheduling software packages
available, both standalone and online. It's always best when selecting
software of this level of complexity and importance in how your
business operates, to do a simple needs assessment, then pick the
software that best meets those needs. The last place you ever want to
be in your business is where your business processes and practices are
determined by poor software design rather than what works best in the
rest of your world. I've seen it too many times where an organization's
growth and success were limited by a simple bad choice of a software
application. The software you choose now will certainly influence how
you do Project Management, and how your easily you can implement it in
the software. There is more to this decision that just which ones can
schedule A/E projects. They pretty much all will do that.
Best of luck in your decision.

How to change inserted projects name

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 04:59 PM PST

Hi Melanie,

Sorry for misunderstanding what you were looking for. I am still not sure
what you are trying to accomplish.

If you rename the original project file through the operating system when
you open the consolidated file and attempt to expand the tasks, you are
presented with a "Cannot find inserted project" dialog box where you can
select the renamed file. The consolidated project file does not retain link
to the old file because it no longer exists.

If you rename the file in Project (with a Save As command) the consolidated
file will retain the link to the original file. You can change the link
within the consolidated file to another project by double clicking on the
Inserted Project line to display the Inserted Project Information dialog box.
If you click the Advanced tab you may browse to another project file, but
this will remove the link to the "old" file. To work with both projects (the
old file and the new file created by Save As) you will need to insert the
newly created file.

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

Task indicates it starts (leader dots) before start date

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 01:23 PM PST

Hi CGull,

Somehow the task assignment had delay added. The problem could have been
created in a couple of ways:

If in either the Task Usage or Resource Usage view the assignment start
(task name showing in Resource Usage view or the Resource name appearing in
the Task Usage View) was altered, that certainly would cause the problem.

The delay field also appears in the Task Form (split from a Gantt chart
formatted to show resource schedule) and if a delay was entered there that
will cause the problem.

If you leveled resources and allowed Project to Adjust Individual
Assignments and delayed a single resource's work, then removed the other
resource (who's work was not delayed) that may also cause the problem.

On a side note, when you mentioned that you were dragging task bars about,
this is also danger-prone. Dragging a task in the Gantt chart imposes
constraints to the task that may cause significant problems later.

Hope this helps.

Mail maerge document doesn't print anything except the merged data

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:36 PM PST

I am printing numbered tickets (10 per page).  I have a mail merge document that includes text boxes and graphics as well as the merge data (numbers 1 - 600).  Everything looks good on the screen but on print preview or print all I get is the merged data.  None of the text boxes or graphics appear.  If I convert the text boxes to text then they will show up along with the merge data but the graphics never show up.  I've used this same document for years and never had a problem until now.

Column break within numbered list

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:21 PM PST

Hello,

It seems a shame I can't get cells in a table automatically numbered in columns (1,2,3,4,5,6,7 down the left column, then 8,9,10,11 down the second col etc) but having looked everywhere I see I can only manually number each column then "continue numbering" at the top of the second column.

I want to write some maths exercises. So I have tried numbering.

I have a list of questions (as 2010 "Equation" objects) numbered from 1 -24.

So I formatted the doc as 3 columns, added a column break after Q8 and Q16, but alas I then get a paragraph mark at the top of each column.

So instead of columns which align nicely I get:

1
2 9 17
3 10 18
4 11 19
5 12 20
6 13 21
7 14 22
8 15 23
16 24


I can't believe it's SO HARD to get numbering in columns to work. I know how to number in rows (Word's default if I put the list in a table), but this is hardly a bizarre request

Here's what I get (and although it doesn't say so, I *do* have a column break after expression 8.) 

http://mrstevensonmaths.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/factorise-the-following-where-possible.docx

*and* when I then add a section break after Q24 to add a set of other questions called set B) it goes and puts Q24 (the number of that question) in italics!! What's *that* all about?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

MS Word -- inserting comments

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 01:20 PM PST

Really odd question: it's annoying but not earth shattering!

When I'm inserting comments and typing in the reviewing pane, I run into problems of some characters not typing and I get the little error "bing". If I go back and type slowly, it works fine. It seems to frequently be the letter R that causes the BING, but it's not limited to that letter. Also, sometimes when I highlight text and try to delete it, I get the BING and the text won't delete.

As I said, this isn't a real problem, but it's just annoying me that I can't figure out WHY it's happening!

Thanks for any insight anyone has!

Trouble with Protected View mode in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 11:48 AM PST

I've had Word 2010 on my PC (Windows 7) for a couple years. Last week, I started having a problem I haven't seen before: When opening certain Word docs out of Outlook or even off of my desktop, a message comes up ("Opening in Protected View") and Word gets stuck. 

I realize I can click on Cancel to bypass that message without opening the file. I also realize I can simply turn off Protected View mode. 

What I want to be able to do: Keep Protected View active, but avoid getting stuck while trying to open in Protected View. 

Any ideas? Thank you.

Word or Excel file hangs on opening

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 10:13 AM PST

This most commonly happens with files I have just received - so they will go into protected view.

Typical scenario:
  • I have 4 Word or Excel files open;
  • I receive a file as an email attachment (Gmail in Chrome);
  • I download it and click on it;
  • Nothing appears to happen;
  • When I hover over the Word/Excel icon I see my 4 original files as normal - with the new file on the right, but just an empty rectangle with no content;
  • The only way to close it is to kill Word or move the pointer to it and hit the X;
  • I can usually open the file by doing File Open in Word/Excel but not by clicking on it in Windows Explorer;
  • Once I have successfully opened it I can usually open it by any mechanism.
What it is not:
  • None of the other files is in protected view;
  • None of them are at the File dialogue - which sometimes seems to prevent working with other files.
Any ideas?

Install Microsoft Word 2007

Correct way to insert at end of Current Section?

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 09:17 AM PST

I'm inserting charts from an Excel file into an Appendix in a Word document. There are hundreds of charts that I need to insert from dozens of files. I need to automate this process. I have two questions, but first, the code:

**************Snip*************

' Get the current section number and set a SecRange Range Object to be the current Section

 

    SecNumber = ActiveDocument.Range(0, Selection.Sections(1).Range.End).Sections.Count
    Set SecRange = ActiveDocument.Sections(SecNumber).Range

 

' In code below, working range variable name is rng

' In code below, I am Do While  looping on i, which is the Scenario Workbook index

 ' Within the loop on i, I am Do While Looping on j, which is the Case Worksheet within Workbook index

  ' Within the loop on j, I am Do While Looping on k, which is the Chart index for Charts in Case Worksheet

   **************more stuff snipped out***********

   

                AExl.Worksheets(CaseArray(j)).ChartObjects(NumCharts(k)).Copy


                ' Paste the chart into the word document. Must explicitly use the InLine placement with PasteSpecial


                rng.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteMetafilePicture, Placement:=wdInLine


                ' If the chart was put in using InLine, then go to end of the current range


                rng.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd


                ' Assemble the Caption for the figure


                full_caption_string = ". A " & scenario_string & ", " & case_string & ": " & chart_string


                ' Insert the caption


                rng.InsertCaption Label:=wdCaptionFigure, Position:=wdCaptionPositionBelow, Title:=full_caption_string


                ' Set range to where the next chart needs to go


                rng.SetRange Start:=SecRange.Start, End:=SecRange.End
                rng.Collapse (wdCollapseEnd)
                rng.InsertParagraph
                rng.InsertParagraph

 

******************End Snip****************

I've tried every way that I can think of to make this work, but as I loop through the charts and paste them in, I can't get successive charts and captions one after the next. The above code collapses to the end of the section after the caption properly, but the InsertParagraph commands put two new Appendix Headers into the file, which I don't want. I just want two lines inserted after the caption, then I want to paste in the next chart.

 

Alternatively, if I try to just do the rng.Collapse and the rng.InsertParagraph commands immediately after the rng.InsertCaption command, then I wind up getting the next chart after the first chart, and I get the captions stacked one on top of the next. After several charts are inserted, I wind up with a bunch of charts with no captions, and then a long list of captions, one after the next and nowhere near their chart.

 

Any suggestions as to how I can effectively get the cursor to the end of the caption, insert two paragraph markers ( a.k.a. hit "enter" on the keyboard twice ), and then loop back up to paste in the next chart?

 

Also, I would like to change the size of the charts I am bringing in. How can you specify the chart width and maintain the aspect ratio when you are bringing an Excel chart into a Word document with vba?

 

Thanks for any support the community can provide on this one!

How to recover a word document?

Suppress macro pop ups automatically in MS Word/Excel 2003

Hi,
I have an application which prints word documents in PDF. When there is a document which has macro in it the application stops working, as it will wait for user action to accept the warning that "Macro is disabled"
I read somewhere that we can achieve this by editing some registry. Please let me know how can we suppress the warning messages. It doesn't matter if the document has macro enabled or not as the document is created manually and work of macro is already done.
Please lt me know what needs to be changed in the registry to suppress the excel.

Word 2013 hyperlink converting # to %20-%20

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:27 AM PST

The following is the URL for a hyperlink in a Word doc.  Please note the "#" near the end.  When reading the doc in Word 2010 the link works great.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/videos/windows-xp-vs-windows-7#tab=compare

But if I open the doc in Word 2013, what gets put in the URL bar of the browser is:  
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/videos/windows-xp-vs-windows-7%20-%20tab=compare

This doesn't work, and I have to go in the browser address bar and edit the # back where it's supposed to be.
(I've since figured out that I don't really need the # and everything after, but I might one day.)

This problem exists when the default browser is set to anything other than IE-desktop.
IE-W8 = problem (# converts to %20-%20)
Chrome = problem (# converts to %20-%20)

Autofill a cell in a table from a combobox

Posted: 06 Jan 2014 12:04 AM PST

I have a table, in cell 1 I'm putting a combo-box with dates a certain function is happening ... based on the selection the user chooses I want cell 2 to autofill with the last possible date to register.  There aren't a whole lot of dates, this is a pretty short list so I know I can save everything in the one file.  This document is being mailed out to people so it can't sit on a server or anything fancy like that.

I've found a ton of answers with things like bookmark and ref but that was using a legacy box which I can't seem to make work as a dropdown because this isn't a locked form.  I found stuff referencing vb, which I no longer know how to write.  I use to be computer brilliant but as I'm aging things are leaving my mental library.  The simpler someone can break this down for me the better.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance

Creating XML file automatically from Excel File

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 05:45 PM PST

I am posting this in the Word 2007 forums, due to the fact I know the Xml looks pretty versus Excel, even though I do not care which program can handle this, as long as Word or Excel can do this.

In Excel 2007, I have 2 columns (artist and track).  Then I have a xml file that I need creating automatically.  Here is a small xml example below.  End result I need the first <artist>NAME</Artist> replaced for the NAME from column A in Excel 2007.  Now repeat that and grab from column B in Excel the TITLE and place it in the <Track>TITLE</Track> area.

The trick is to keep creating these blocks of data from <Wish><Artist>NAME</Artist><Album></Album><Track>TITLE</Track></Wish> with the next cell in Excel 2007.

I understand I could manually copy and paste this into the areas, but that would take a long time.  If there was some code or an easy way, that would be great.  Thank you for your help.

Word 2013 Track Changes Problem with Single Word Change

Posted: 05 Jan 2014 05:18 PM PST

Hi,


I've resolved a few of the Word 2013 Track Changes problems by following advice in the Forum but now I am facing yet another problem. I am working collaboratively on a report, so the document will have changes tracked from many reviewers. This was never a problem in 2010 version, but with 2013 if I change a single word in a paragraph the entire paragraph is getting recorded as a deletion in the review panel, and then an insertion is recorded of the original paragraph with the one new work entered. This is obviously going to drive team members crazy (and I don't really want to put up with it personally either).


Any help?


Many thanks.

Which is correct, does this choice allow you to choose either Windows 98

Are you saying from the Windows bootloader you cannot boot Windows 98?
 

OK, but it will take some work...

GRUB needs to be reinstalled and both Windows 98 and Windows XP needs to
be (re)installed on primary partions (both need to be hidden from the
other).
 

This is possible but will require lots of additional work. Windows (both
Windows 98 and Windows XP) uses it's own bootloader and the switches
needed are not possible from the GRUB bootloader.
 

Show us the output of;
(for IDE) fdisk -l /dev/hda
(for SCSI) fdisk -l /dev/sda

That's the letter 'L' and not the number one in the commands above.

howto for how to install windows xp partition on a disk already with a rh 9 partition

Safest route is to create a separate partition for /boot as well as a
Grub boot-floppy, and the WinXP partition. The /boot partition can be
quite small. It will only hold the boot images for any linux upgrades.
You might also create a /data partition and symlink /home to
/data/home. Then the other linux partitions can be easily upgraded.

WinXP will over-write the MBR on installation. The Grub boot-floppy
will allow you to re-write the MBR using install. And create a boot
entry in menu.lst (grub.conf) for Windows for dual booting. Note that
you can re-create a grub boot-floppy from within grub, so make some
notes and store them in the /boot directory.

But if your laptop doesn't have a floppy it's a little more difficult
but you can do the same thing with a CD.

If you want more bandwidth that is available with your ADSL connection,
you're going to have to speak to a provider that can give you a (partial
or full) T3/OC-1 connection. You are talking big bux there. That 'pipe'
running down the street does not have infinite bandwidth, no matter what
the advertisements say. You can do bonding and load balancing, but that
takes the cooperation from (read that as "you have to pay") your upstream.

Which does suggest that something different happens above hdh.

In an early iteration, I managed to get all 3 controllers working with
the on-board VIA controller in the middle {SiI680,VP_IDE,HPT370}
I installed Gentoo and Grub on a mirrored (dmraid) pair on the HPT370.
Grub would not install on hdi or /dev/mapper/hpt37x_gdfgehef.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to duplicate this arrangement since
I transplanted the motherboard into a new case. I can get
{SiI680,HPT370,VP_IDE} or {HPT370,SiI680,VP_IDE} and neither will boot
