I would first check that ALL your printer, CUPS and Firefox config files

(http://localhost:631) instead of KDE's printer tools, just to be sure.
Also, check that Firefox's Postscript output isn't being sent to
Ghostscript or some printer filters. The output should go directly to the
printer, unchanged.

As a last resort, uninstall your printer and, then, reinstall it using
CUPS' interface. Maybe, KDE's got a bug.

FC4, Serial ATA, and RAID

If the numbers are right, they translate to

I believe the latter means data corruption on the disk or at a low level.
 

Sounds a bit disturbing, I should perhaps check a diff between the
2.6.11 and 2.6.13 kernels to see if this is justified (but I don't
have the time this week). It may well be as already the atapi
interface implements a packet interface modeled on the scsi protocol,
and I would guess that serial ata takes this evolution even further.
 

I don't really know anythig about what is failing, but I wonder why you
are placing the two disks on the same ide controller, and leaving the
other controller to run just the DVD player?

If no-one else know anything better to try, you could try to regroup
the disks, placing, say, the hdd on the other controller, making it hdb.
If there is something flakey in the ide controller hardware, perhaps
duplicating all disk write requests on the same controller is begging
to trigger the failure potentials.

(But I should also say that I don't know hwo much physical reality there
is behind the interface offered by the chipset that perhaps makes two
"virtual controllers" out of one, or even out of four.)

Can't install Debian 3.1 on HP Pavilion 7955 computer

Posted: 12 Oct 2005 10:47 AM PDT

First of all, thanks to those who have provided assistance. Others have
been less than helpful.

The reason I think Debian should have a tutorial on this is because
most PC users use Windows, and Windows XP is currently the newest
Windows version, so it could only help in getting more people to start
using Linux instead. Of course, the tutorial is not necessary, but I
didn't even find a notice explaining how burning a bootable CD is
different from burning the type of CD that most users commonly burn.

<i>Oh, come on, the issues here are so obvious only after you acquire
a number of concepts.</i>

That might be true, but only assuming that there is a guide
<i>explaining</i> these concepts.

<i>"Cease messing up".</i>

That's very helpful...

Grub Network Bootdisk - where from ?

Posted: 11 Oct 2005 03:26 AM PDT

On Wed, 12 Oct 2005 09:20:21 +0200, hermann <net> wrote:
 

In order not to leave that part of the question unanswered, Grub must
be on an rpm package, and I would guess that package is called
grub-0.95...something.rpm. It should be on your installation CD.
Almost certainly it is already installed.

Next, how to make a grub floppy. Doing the command "info grub", pressing
TAB tree times (places the cursor on "Installation"), then pressgin enter,
pressing TAB three more times (Creating a GRUB boot floppy) and Enter:


# cd /usr/share/grub/i386-pc
# dd if=stage1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
# dd if=stage2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
153+1 records in
153+1 records out
#

This is still not the "network boot" thing you want, I just quote this
to get those questions out of the way.
 

Sounds a bit strange to me, is this so that you could have something
different happen when you don't insert the floppy? Or, are we dealing
with a computer where you are somehow prevented from installing in the
disk?

I have never tried the network support facilities in Grub, but I have seen
something about that in the info command output.

Yes, I just checked, and it says:

Although GRUB is a disk-based boot loader, it does provide network
support. To use the network support, you need to enable at least one
network driver in the GRUB build process.

That brings up the question if Suse has enabled any network drivers in their
grub rpm. If not, you will have to compile your own rpm.

The procedure is this: Download the grub *source* rpm from your distribution
(perhaps you have a distro CD with all the source rpms).

Install it the normal way, rpm -i grub-whatever.src.rpm. Since I use
Fedora, which is a child of Redhat, there is a "redhat" in the following
paths, yours are probably a little different.

Edit the file /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/grub.spec.
Search for the line

%configure --sbindir=/sbin --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt

(Well, that is the redhat/fedora version of that line, yours may
be different.) Now add one option to that line, e.g.

%configure --sbindir=/sbin --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt --enable-3c509

(how to see the possible options - below) Save the file and build
the rpm like this:

rpmbuild -bb /...../grub.spec

You will find the result in /usr/src/.../RPMS/i386/grub....rpm or something
similar.

This is how simple it could be in an almost perfect world. In reality you
will have to install a couple of other rpms to satisfy the "build-require"
statements in the grub.spec file.

Issue the rpmbuild command above, and you will be told. Or look inside the
spec file.

In order to find the possible options,

rpmbuild -bp /..../grub.spec

This will unpack the tarball(s) and apply all the patches your distro
applies. Then find /..../BUILD/grub-0.95/netboot/README.netboot.
Notice that rpmbuild usually starts every build by deleting the build
source tree, and repeating the steps from there. I mention this in case
you find you have to modify something, you must then create a patch
file and add it to the spec file to have it reapplied when the source
is prepared again.
 

I don't know SuSE, there are others here who do. I would guess that
the distribution has a ready-made solution for diskless workstations
or for bootp use, but I don't know much about it.

Wireless networking/Mepis/OS question

Okay. I did a google search yesterday for "0000:00:07.1" which gave me

Hmmh...

 

To tell you the truth, I didn't really like Mepis anyway -- can't tell
you why other than I have some familiarity with Fedora and so I know
where the config files are and just generally how to do stuff with it.
So I loaded FC4 on it.

For whatever reason I don't get the "video mode" problem with grub. I
don't recall if Mepis was using lilo...

Still struggling with the wireless, though. Dl'd the ndiswrapper pkg
plus a modified kernel (16K vs. 4K stacks) with another machine and
loaded them up via sneakernet. Followed the instructions in the
ndiswrapper wiki and have gotten as far as being able to scan and find
the AP correctly. Wireless tools is the wrong release (17 vs 18) so I
hope I can manually get this thing working well enough to do a system
update. The odyssey continues...

Anyway, thanks for the reply,

Kernel 2.6 mouse dead

Posted: 09 Oct 2005 05:22 PM PDT



J.O. Aho <net> says... 

From http://www.slackware.com/ page is

"Slackware 10.2 includes the Linux 2.4.31 kernel, with Linux
2.6.13 available in the /testing directory. For the first time,
a 2.6 kernel with support for SCSI, RAID, and SATA is offered
as a boot option in the installer (called "test26.s")."

test26.s is on Slackware 10.2 distribution disk. Slackware
10.2 users are told to select test26.s to have Slackware 10.2
with 2.6.13 Kernel. Is not test26.s on Slackware 10.2
distribution disk same mouse enablings as bare.i on same disk?
I installed exactly same including format two times except
kernel different. NO other changes!

Please to look at
http://www.tux.org/pub/distributions/slackware/slackware-10.2/kernels/test26.s/config
has
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m

All same except CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m is not CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
but also has
CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=m
CONFIG_MOUSE_INPORT=m
CONFIG_MOUSE_ATIXL=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_LOGIBM=m
CONFIG_MOUSE_PC110PAD=m
which I think are menu choices. I menu choose PS/2 and also
menu choose Intellimouse once for testing. Both menu choices
both mice work with bare.i not with test26.s My mice port is
normal PS/2, not USB.

Other Slackware 10.2 users using test26.s with no mouse problem
so I think mouse enablings are on.

no option to boot FC4 after install

On Sun, 9 Oct 2005 18:43:58 +0100 in comp.os.linux.setup, Richard O

Did you install GRUB or another dual-boot manager? If so, check your
disk to find where it was installed, and set that partition active.
(You can do this from an Administrator account in Wondows XP by
running diskmgmt.msc.)

I had this problem with FC3 -- the install went fine but it didn't
set the active partition to the one where the boot loader is. I did
that manually, then rebooted and the GRUB loader came up.

How do I configure drivers in Debian

Posted: 09 Oct 2005 05:30 AM PDT

From experience (and I've used various versions of Unix since ca. 1978
and Windows versions since 2.x in about 1982--as a result, personally,
I'd rather use Linux):

I just tried to install Windows XP (of an unknown vintage) and Linux
(RedHat version 9, from the same source, i.e. these were the versions
used at my workplace) on an IBM a30p laptop. Not the latest model,
but not ancient either. The laptop came to me running w2k. I did not
upgrade the w2k to xp, but instead installed xp from scratch.

The Windows XP version installed "correctly" first time and it wasn't
orginally configured for that version. The only difficulty was the
laptop defaulted to a 640x800 resolution until I went to the IBM
website and downloaded a new driver.

The Linux version installed and had the same 640x800 resolution
problem. Of course, going to the IBM website didn't resulting in
finding a new Linux driver. With some help, I did find the
appropriate XFree86 config file and inserted the "1600x1200" line in
the correct place and that was good. Next, I had to resolve a mouse
cproblem, which required downloading a whole new version of Linux,
CentOS 4.1 was recommended to me. That took a considerable amount of
time and effort. Of course, the new version of Linux broke some of
the shell scripts I use to invoke emacs, so that the shell windows
inside of emacs didn't show prompts.

I don't yet have the built in wireless talking to Linux. It worked
with XP, the first time I booted it. I haven't started trying to
tackle that problem because I can plug the laptop into the wired net
at home, so the wireless was a lower priority item. Moreover, even
when I have the wireless working under Linux, I won't be able to use
it that way at work, because the wireless VPN software I need to get
into the corporate internet is a Windows only program.

So, don't use me as your expert if you want the Linux installation to
be graded as easier. This wasn't the first that I've done. I have
one desktop that has run Redhat 5.0, 5.1, 6.something, 7.2, and 7.3.
I will upgrade it to CentOS 4.1 also, after I have my laptop running
as I like.

However, if you want something that works out-of-the-box with minimal
intervention, my experience is that one has better luck installing
Windows. I think there is a simple reason for that, every hardware
vendor ships drivers that work with Windows. Thus, if your brand x
hardware device doesn't work, one simply gets the brand x Windows
driver for it.

You're only in trouble if the vendor stops selling that hardware
device and a new version of Windows comes out and the old driver isn't
compatible with the new version. Then, you are truly out of luck, you
either have to stay with the old version of Windows forever or buy a
new hardware device. That's actually the way they want it too, it
simply guarantees obsolescence. That's the price one actually pays
for using Windows.

However, I'm not sure the Linux story is much better. I can't count
the number of times I've had some part of my Unix-Linux/Emacs
installation switch to something new and incompatible, sh to csh to
ksh to bash, twm to ctwm to vtwm to fvwm to kde to gnome, lilo to
grub, sccs to rcs to cvs to subversion, gnu emacs to xemacs, rnews to
gnus, rmail to vmail. I know some incarnations of the scripts I used
to run on Ultrix and SunOS still are runnning on my system, but only
because I've spent hours over the years dealing with the
incompatibilities and foibles of the versions they've been ported
over. Hmm, the latest version of Linux has changed something about
the way it writes ext2 file systems and my re-partitioning (Partition
Magic v 7) software will no longer change partitions on the
disk--hopefully I can get qtparted to work on them. Moreover, a lot
of the hardware I scrapped over the years, *never* worked with any
Linux version I had. Maybe if it had, it would still work with Linux
today, maybe....

If I could have paid L100, i.e. $200 US and have had them install a
complete working Linux distribution on my laptop where the mouse,
screen, and wireless all worked (and so did the scripts I've used for
years so that I wouldn't have to "fix" anything), you bet I would have
done it.

RAID chipset SiI680

Posted: 08 Oct 2005 03:28 AM PDT

Giampiero Gabbiani <it> did eloquently scribble: 

Don't know...
There are some disk throughput tests, like bonnie++ to test access, read,
write and copy speeds but you'll just be testing the kernel's RAID code
rather than the controller (which is being used by the kernel as a simple
IDE). Only windows supports the raid part of the card fully, because the
manufacturers supplied the driver.

Testing windows running on the raid card vs linux using kernel RAID wouldn't
be a valid comparison because the test would be mainly windows v linux,
rather than card vs kernel in that situation...
Suppose a way to handle the comparison would be to install windows on the
RAID, run the tests, install it on the card in standard none-raid mode and
do the tests again, then do the same with linux using standard IDE and
kernel RAID... see the comparisons side by side...

Problem with Redhat 9 & XP Pro

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 02:53 PM PDT

> I'm having trouble with dual-booting RH 9 & Microsoft XP Pro. I 

First, I would avoid reinstalling XP as long as I could, unless you
have a "ghost" copy of your previous installation, or it was simply a
vanilla instalation you haven't customized. If you reinstall XP, you
may lose your customizations. Attempting to "repair" it, is less
likely to have that problem. However, I would still wait on doing
that until I exhausted other options.

As to your specific problem, it sounds like you may have changed the
partitions as you installed RH. That can cause XP problems,
specifically if you insert or delete partitions before the XP
partition. For example, it may not have been creating the RH
partition that gave you problems, but deleting the DOS partition that
is the cause of your woes. Did XP used to boot through the DOS (FAT I
presume) partition?

Next, I see you are keeping XP in an extended/logical partition? Did
you have it there before you installed RH? Or, did you move it from a
primary partition to an extended partition when you installed RH? If
you changed it from primary to extended, then I suspect this is the
cause of your problem. As far as I know, XP (or any windows variant
for that matter) likes to have its boot code in a primary partition.
You can get XP (and the other NT, OS/2 variants) to boot in an
extended partition if you also have a FAT primary partition to keep
their boot info in, but you have to set them up that way in the
beginning.

What I suspect is happening, is that when you tell XP to boot, it
looks for an appropriate primary partition, finds HD1 which is
currently empty, but is formatted FAT ans says ah here is my primary
partition (C: drive) to find my boot info in. It then, looks for the
XP installation there and doesn't find it, because the info is in HD5,
and complains.

If I were in your shoes, and the XP partition used to be a primary
partition, then I would convert the XP back to a primary partition and
put HD4 (or HD3 & 4) in the extended partition. You will find Linux
much more cooperative about booting while the root directory is not a
primary partition.

Consider my setup:
HD1 - a FAT32 w2k partition
HD2 - a FAT32 w2k partition with also boot files for booting XP out of an extended partition
HD3 - an NTFS xp partition
HD4 - an extended partition with the following logicals inside
HD5 - /boot (ext2) where I keep grub
HD6 - / (ext2)
HD7 - /var (ext2)
HD8 - /tmp (ext2)
HD9 - linux swap
HD10 - /usr (ext2)
HD11 - /home (ext2)
HD12 - a FAT32 partition for sharing data between the various OS's
HD13 - another FAT32 partition for sharing data between the various OS's
HD14 - an NTFS xp partition which boots out of HD2
HD15 - the "system restore" partition

See, how I have most of the Windows OS's in primary partitions down at
the bottom--the only exception being HD14, and that boots out of HD2.
Believe me that makes them much happier about being booted into.

The other major difference between my setup and yours is that I use
"System Commander" as my boot menu (and that's what in the MBR).
However, I think either lilo or grub in the MBR will work too.
Especially, because if I boot the Linux partition (from System
Commander) and then tell it (grub) to boot one of the Windows
partitiions, that still works.

Hope this helps,
-Chris

SSH tunneling of the Oracle Installer

2. I modified /etc/hosts to include the line

sshd_config was setup properly (I.E. ForwardX11 yes) and once hosts was
modified every thing worked like a magic cookie! I hate simple

everyone for your input!

FC4, md raid-1 not started at boot.

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 08:22 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup Peter T. Breuer <it.uc3m.es>: 
 
 
 

Have no problems with it on a few systems, the only problem was
the initial setup in kickstart. Strange enough, once tried to
setup FC3 in full softraid, but alas the installer would only
want to setup an array on the same hd, which doesn't make sense.

This works with RHEL 3 just fine, perhaps their is a reason why
this feature is missing from Fedora?

Other distro couldn't boot from softraid at all after successfully
mirroring a running system. So this could explain your paranoia
about it? It seems to depend on the distro.
 
 

Lilo, at least the version from RHEL does write stuff on both
physical disks in software raid1, so you can boot from both, if
your mobo is capable enough. Think I posted an example recently
in this "theater".

If your nameserver (named, bind) wants to talk to ns1.google.com, and it

it does as I wrote, and leaves to the kernel to figure out how to reach
216.239.32.10. The kernel uses the routing table, and finds that with
the last line in the routing table, the mask is zero, so

(216.239.32.10 & 0.0.0.0) == (0.0.0.0 & 0.0.0.0)

oh, yes, that makes zero on both sides of the equal sign, and yes,
0 == 0 that is true, this line in the routing table is the one we will
use. Now, the rest of the line is

0.0.0.0 46.99.491.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0

so the interface is ppp0. Oh, wait, this line has 'G', so we must do
a little more processing, see if we have a line with 46.99.491.1
(the gateway) as the "destination" and an 'H' flag (a host route),
yes we have that, but then again, the interface on that line is "ppp0"
That settles the question, we have to use the IP of ppp0 as our
source IP. 

It "knows" because it knows what addresses it is trying to reach with
its questions. Those addresses come from the configuration or from
answers obtained earlier. If there is an excelent and knowledgeable
name server sitting 10 inches away on eth0, too bad its address was not
listed in the configuration, because it may instead be trying to get
an answer from the other side of the earth.

Please correct me anyone, Is it not possible to configure named to allways
ask a particular name server first, and only do the formally correct
search for authoritative answers if the first server does not know?
 

I had RHL7.3 a looong time ago and can't remember except through the rosy
glasses we tend to see the bad old days when we were kids.

Yet I guess it was not that whimsically, it was in its configuration and in
the routing tables. It would be addressing the messages to specific IP
addresses, there is no broadcasting around for answers in dns. And so, if it
used the wrong destination IP address, it would not have helped to have
the world's best nameserver connected to eth0, even if it were to send on that
interface.

Or, have I forgotten? Does somebody remember what confusion reigned
in the Linux routing code? Or did Linux then fall back to sending
duplicated datagrams on all interfaces if it had no matching route?

By the way, what you call "hardware ports" is usually called "interfaces",
even the term "(network) interface" is also use for things that don't
really exist in hardware. I have a ppp0 interface that emits its segments
on eth0, whereas I also have eth0 as a separate intgerface with an IP
address. Yet the segments emitted by ppp0 do not have IP addresses, only
ethernet addresses. (But then there are some IP addresses buried deeper
inside the segemnts.) In this way, ppp0 is a pure software interface in
my case, yet all data that enter my house or leave it, do so over "ppp0".
You find the word "interface" in abbreviated form in e.g., "ifconfig", in
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" and many other.

Office applications look in specific places for info and if they get moved, everything goes kerpluy. Glad you found what was wrong.

Moving the Microsoft User Data folder is a very common problem and users report Entourage opened in a new Identity. It’s easy to fix by moving it back.

Can't Install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

Posted: 10 May 2010 04:52 PM PDT

> pjonesCET  

You need to reinstall Parallels before you can access Office 2007. you may have to reinstall windows, and office. or if your just removed Parallels then you should be able to acess it again.

Can't access any Newgroups

Posted: 07 May 2010 09:31 AM PDT

Check your server..you are most likely using the newsgroup as your server instead of the server.
The server is:
msnews.microsoft.com
The correct port is 119 (WLM will configure that automatically)

To add an news account in WLM
Tools/Accounts/Add/News (note if you don't see Tools, press the Alt key)
Enter a Display name (e.g. PaulC)
Enter an email address(suggest you antispam rather than use your real email -> e.g. com)
Enter the news server -> msnews.microsoft.com
Do not check 'My server requires me to logon'
Click Next, Click Finish
Agree to the prompt to download the groups

Once you download the groups, subscribe to the groups or your choice..
If this is your only newsgroup server, remove all other newsgroup servers(Tools/Accounts/<click on a newsgroup>/Remove.

Once done, ensure you toggle off 'Use newsgroup Community support features'(your experience will be much better)
- Tools/Options/<General tab>

When done if you have questions on WLM you have two options:

The nntp group(as long as it exists)
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

or the Windows Live Solution Center
Windows Live Solution Center for Windows Live Mail
http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=15
Windows Live Mail Forums
http://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?productid=15
Windows Live Mail Solutions
http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions.aspx?productid=15

If you use the nttp group, I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

Posted: 05 May 2010 06:25 PM PDT

I'm surprised that you didn't notice..both servers msnnews and msnews co-existed each carrying all the groups...the only difference
when SPA was required the msn groups were removed from msnews and they also disappeared from the Usenet hierarchy.

Diatribes a side...it is possible to kill an nttp group and that was my point.

Many newsgroups are afflicted with the trash/troll/spam types seeking to self-inflate their own egos as long as they have an
audience to help propagate the abuse. On the other hand, I've seen quite a few where folks do understand the golden rule DNFTEC.
Those groups can be productive environments without the presence of the trolls.

The potential does exist for the Forums to surpass Nttp...and you are right 'We'll see'.
- I was a forum moderator in Msft's first foray into web groups(not the communities) which pre-dated the current(and soon to be
deprecated) mirrored web-nttp system. Unlike the current Forums, few showed up(though that interface/architecture was a poor and
thoughtless replacement. More like a spare tire). We could have used your expertise, I was one of the few that had Apple hardware
experience...even though our group was on IE, Security and Windows we occasionally had Mac folks showing up asking questions on
IE(which was the default Mac browser until Safari appeared iirc late 2002 or early 2003).

If you're ever in my neck of the woods(from Down Under), feel free to stop by.....I'll power up a few relics for your benefit.. the
Apple ][ and Apple //e, Profile Hard drive(all compliments of Apple for starting this state's first Apple UG)

Over the last year, I've answered quite a few questions for Entourage users inquiring about settings for Pop3 access for their
Hotmail and Live accounts. Maybe I should send them here(or whatever Forum replaces this one when the group is 'killed' <eg>.

If you need a link for those settings or background reference

The Product Key is not on the *box*, it's on the sleeve the disk is in, both

orange sticker affixed to it... There is nothing on the box itself that need
be used for installation.

If you don't have the sleeve but can establish proof of purchase, contact MS
Customer Service. They can probably provide you with a new product key [for
which there may be a nominal charge]:

Cannot reinstall Exchange 5.5 on Small Business Server 4.5

Its been a while since I actually performed a restore of SBS 4.5 but a
partial backup will most likely not help in this case. You could try
looking up the errors in Event Log on Google and see if you get the stores
to mount. If Exchange needs reinstalled then you will most likely have to
manually remove the current installation then reinstall this compononet from
SBS 4.5 CD. I would also suggest posting this question to the SBS Newsgroup
as they may have a better solution. microsoft.public.server.sbs.

Microsoft Word - Find and replace styles with wildcards

Find and replace styles with wildcards

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:58 PM PST

So I work in an educational environment and we do OCR for 1000's of books a year and I am trying to improve the process.

The end process of the OCR looks like this

text text text. ¶
155¶ (page number)
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
156¶
text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text 
157¶
etc...

I am trying to have it be

text text text. ¶
(Page break)
25¶(heading 3)
text text text

Here is what I have tried so far
Using a page range of 150 to 230 ( I change the find parameters depending on the pages in the section to help improve on catching other numbers that may be in the document)

Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: ^13^12\1
Works great gives me a full line page break

But now to change the style.
Everytime I try 
Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: \1 (using the formating>Style>Heading 3)
it will make the entire previous paragraph heading 3 even though there is a ¶ and page break prior to the heading.

I have tried putting place holders like
Step1:
Find: [! ]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: ^13^12P\1
Making it "P25"
Step2: 
Find: [P]([1-2][0-9][0-9][^13])
Replace: \1 (Style>Heading 3)
and still the entire previous paragraph is the heading.

According to this site I should be able to do Replace: ^12\1 ((style "Heading 1"))
But all that gives me is the words and not the heading "25 ((style "Heading 1"))" 

Is there a way to inset the wildcard into the replace field? or what am I doing wrong?

Edit: I just tried to add the headings after doing for F&R with ¶ and page break. And the headings are not working correctly. It seems as the ¶ are visually there but are allowing headings to go through them. Unlike done manually. Is there another wild card for ¶ than ^13 that would work as a real ¶?

OLE Error in Word 2013, 2010 and 2007

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:52 PM PST

This is a continuation of the discussions at topic "Word 2010 with embedded Excel objects does not release Excel when closing".


(Summary of previous topic) Periodically, Word will throw and OLE error when editing an Excel embedded workbook.  To get past the error, you must manually close Excel from task manager.  Once you can finally close the program, the workbook you were editing becomes a picture.


Behavior same in all versions since 2007.

 

So here is the result of the OLE error and manually closing Excel from task manager:

 

As you are aware, a .docx or .docm file is in effect a zip file with xml pointers to different folders within the file.

 

What is happening to me is:

1.  The Excel spreadsheet is lost/deleted from the internal storage folder.

2.  The Picture image is retained.

3.  The Word document appears to be intact until you try to open the embedded object.

4.  When trying to reopen the embedded file, the ribbon says it is a picture and will not open the Excel worksheet, since it cannot find it.

 

This has GOT to get fixed!

Why is the table formatting in a Word 2010 custom template overridden when I paste text from another document?

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:27 PM PST

I'm creating various templates for my office to use for memos, etc. I've created a table with a preferred font (Arial Narrow 11). I don't have a problem using th template from scratch, but when I copy and past a cell from a table from a different document, the text appears either as Calibri 11 (even though that wasn't the original font). What's going on?

 

If I highlight the specific text and copy and paste it there's no problem. This just happens if the cell is highlighted, copied and pasted. This template needs to be used by several other writers, so the easier it is to use the better.

troubleshooting "text wrapping" an image

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 01:53 PM PST

HI

 

HI

 

I am working in Word 2007.

 

I have a document that includes images, captions and callouts, each of which are 'grouped' together with text written above and below the image.  I've read that in order to make this document WCAG2.0 compliant/accessible, I must format the image either as 'inline with text' or 'top and bottom'. When I use 'inline with text', it positions the image at the left margin - I want the image centred between the margins. Also, 'inline wth text' seems to disable the 'group' option and I can't group it with the caption or callout.

 

When I use 'top and bottom', and group the caption to it, it move the text which had been below the image to behind it, forcing me to hit Enter several times in order to move the text down the page to below the image.

 

So, the question is, how can I add a caption (and callouts) to an image, group them together and at the same time keep the text that's positioned above and below the image without having to hit Enter several times to move the text down the page and below the image?

 

Help!, Marion

changing a Word 2010 default

Bar Codes on Envelopes........

In earlier versions of Word, when setting up the Envelope option, you could add a barcode above the name in the recipients address.  This was great, especially when sending official mailings or wanting your envelope to look professional - no matter what the reason.


In Word/Office 2010, that option is no longer in the envelope set up section.

adding sub chapter captions in word 2010

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:12 AM PST

My user wants a document with three levels of headings and wants the figure and table captions to reflect the sections like:

 

Figure 5.1.3-1 or Table 8.1-1, 8.1-2 etc. 

 

The first Table inserted falls under section 5.1.7 and should be labeled 5.1.7-1.  If I change the "Heading starts with Style..." from Heading 1 to heading 3 which is the correct label, the numbering is correct (5.1.7-1, 5.1.7-2 etc).  The next section is under a Heading 2 entry.  5.2.  If I insert the caption without making any changes, the heading comes in as 5.1.9-1 which is the last Heading 3 in the section.  The Caption should be 5.2-1.  When I change the Heading Style from Heading 3 to Heading 2, all prior captions change to Heading 2.

 

Am I doing something wrong?  The heading styles in my document are set up in a Multi-level list per Shauna Kellys web instructions.

 

 

Please help straighten me out.... regards, Lenny33

Keyboard shortcut to open a blank document with a template

Hi,

I don't always use the same template for my documents, and it would be really convenient to be able to have a keyboard shortcut to do this.  Pressing CTRL + N just opens a blank document based on the current template, which isn't always what I need.  Thanks!

Changing style's font does not actually change the font!

hi everyone

My figure captions are governed by the Captions style, and just now I wanted to change its font to Courier New.

Changing other properties of the style such as text colour or size does have the expected effect!

can anyone help? Thanks!

I need to use voice recognition but find the mix between commands and text means that there are too many errors. I've trained the thing but it's never going to work. Is there anyway one can TURN OFF the COMMAND facilities and just keep text DICTATION?
I do a lot of text and not much else; I can save a document manually and don't need all the bells and whistles.

Thanks all

Entering Chinese characters with AZERTY keyboard

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:17 AM PST

I want to create documents with simplified Chinese characters using Word 2010 Family and Student Edition. I have already installed English, French and Chinese as available languages, but it seems to me that QWERTY is the only possible choice of keyboards for Chinese input. Here in France we all have the AZERTY keyboard. How can I use the AZERTY keyboard while entering Chinese characters? French with the AZERTY keyboard is my default language.

Intermittent 'Not Responding' on Microsoft Word 13 (and Office 13) on Windows 7

Posted: 22 Jan 2014 10:00 PM PST

The problem I'm having is when I'm trying to use Microsoft Word 13 (actually, all of Microsoft Office 13, Excel, Outlook, etc.), I get a constant freezing and "Not Responding" error. Word doesn't crash. Just when I'm typing, it'll freeze, then unfreeze... I'll type some more, then it'll freeze again, then unfreeze. It's incredibly frustrating. And it's with every document.

I've already removed all the add-ins. I've uninstalled and re-installed twice. I've done the "fix-it".  The Event Log viewer doesn't show any of the "Not Responding" errors. I disabled the hardware graphics acceleration. I also saw that there may have been compatibility issues with Security Essentials, so I uninstalled that, but I'm still have the same problems and it's across all of Microsoft Office. I believe I have all the latest updates, patches and fixes too. 

Is there some sort of compatibility issue in Windows 7 with MS Office 13?
