Finding Dates in Specific Format

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 01:51 PM PST

Hi,

I'm trying to Find and Replace some dates in a Word doc. They are all in this format:

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1980

All are using caps as shown. I want to Find all of them, format them as BOLD, and make the line spacing for just those lines 1.5.

Any suggestions are appreciated for macros or VBA code.

WHAT TYPE OF FILE FORMAT SHOULD I USE FOR A WATERMARK?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 12:53 PM PST

Hello MS Office Community:

I am creating a Word template to be used frequently by our fire dept. staff.

I want to create a watermark that is sharp and clear.

When asked to select/import a watermark image, what is the best file format to accomplish a clear and sharp watermark?

JPEG? PICT?

Thank You,

Paragraph style field in Word 2010

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 12:09 PM PST

In Word 2003, there was a field at the top that showed the paragraph style of the curent paragraph.  In Word 2010, I can turn on the paragraph style menu using Avanced Display options (quite round-about way to get to it), but there doesn't seem to be a field that shows the style of the current paragraph as I cursor about.  Is this the case?

Word 2013 - Spellcheck Dialog box

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:34 AM PST

Is there a method for displaying the same dialog box as Office 2010 for Spelling and Grammar? Having the wrong text and the suggestions front and center is more focused for me. I don't like using the "Pains". I no longer use the Find but instead use the Find and Replace (CTRL+H) to perform my finds.

 

So, what I am really asking is there a secret keyboard stroke that I need to do to get to a dialog box, or do I need to create some kind of a form to get back to the functionality I prefer?

 

TIA

Captions and Cross-Referencing

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 09:22 AM PST

I'm sure this question has been addressed, but I am not sure of the terminology to use in my search, so I aplogize in advance. I added a caption to a figure, and the caption contains text beyond "Figure x-x". When I add a cross reference to the document, all of the text in the caption is included in the cross reference. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, and have only "Figure x-x" in the cross reference?


Thank you in advance!

Word 2010 custom style set doesn't display all styles

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 08:35 AM PST

I have created a style set with 20+ styles. After selecting the style set and clicking the dialog launcher to display the style pane the only styles that are displayed are the five that are visible in the quick style gallery, and a few of the Microsoft built in styles. Any idea why?

Invisible text boxes

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 07:56 AM PST

Hi

 

I downloaded a template from a local council (word 2010). good document which I used, but when I did spell checker, there are words shown that are not visible on the document nor when printed. I assume these must be text boxes, but they don't appear on the document. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can see these and delete them?

 

 

Thanks

Word Template Dialog Box

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 07:53 AM PST

When I open the Templates the box opens with large icons.  I then change it to list view.  In Word 2000 the box then stayed as a list until I closed word.  With 2007 it defaults to large icons every time.  As I have over 200 templates to work from I find the list view more helpful.  Is there any way I can either make list view as default or make sure list view is available until I close Word?

I would like to buy 365 - BUT...

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 07:32 AM PST

I'm really just posting to vent my frustration. With Microsoft, the PC manufacturers - and really everyone else including Apple. And I suspect I can't be the only one. And I hope somebody here at MS reads this and decides to at least provide a few very simple fixes to problems that so many people obviously complain about. I get that the world is changing. Some things get better other things I personally don't care much for but so be it (like software subscription models...). I'm in my mid 40s almost so I've been a long-term computer user. I need computers for my work-work, personal business, communication all around the world, my passions such as music and photography, etc. It's all great. Things have come a long way. But some things are also really annoying. It starts with the quality of modern laptops (or lack thereoff), the trend towards awful keyboards (am I the only one actually typing a lot?) and, worse, the latest iteration of Windows. The latter made me buy my first Mac ever. I never wanted one and there are a few things very annoying about Apple as well. But it's usable at least for what I do (though I have to admit that for a few things I'm keeping around my old Win XP box...). That leads to the question what to do about an Office application on that machine for the few instances where I'll actually be using the Mac desktop for that (still have work computer and personal laptop running XP and 7 with Office 2003 which is the best version they ever made in my book). Apple "iWorks" is complete junk. Open Office is alright but I'm not 100% convinced that it's always compatible with the industry standard (that's like trying to get away from evil Adobe...). So MS Office for Mac is something I do in fact want. And given that I have an Exchange email account it makes sense to not use Apple Mail App but Outlook. So the expensive version would apply. Unless I buy the 365 home offer. Doesn't make sense for just one machine, but if I could use the 5 licenses around the house (wife, kids, laptops, etc) that would be a decent deal then. What's better: after installing the test version I actually liked the Mac Office version provided with 365. So I was expecting I could just upgrade the wife from Office 2007 to 365 and be happy. Well, not so much. Office 365 on her Win 7 looks like straight from ****. Retina scorching **** that is. She suffers from eye strain as it is and uses Word, Excel and PP all day pretty much. With the inability to tone it down it lasted for half an hour before we went back to 2007. So what to do then with the other licenses? I could install it on my Thinkpad (best writing computer ever with the original IBM keyboard!). Oh, well, not so much because you can't install it on XP. So I could just upgrade it to Win 7, right? No, not easily because the operating system that is now the standard in the business world has disappeared from stores and the Microsoft website. Instead I'm supposed to buy Windows 8. Which will never ever happen. and if nothing changes than my next laptop will be a Macbook. At least that would take 365 and not look completely garish (at least until somebody in Redmond or Cupertino (MS autocorrect doesn't know this word...) messes things up even further). So why is it that we can't change the background in MS Office 365 to something darker? Why do we only get those three settings (white, grey, dark grey) which are all too bright still? This could be an easy fix and people like me would be happy to spend the 100 bucks a year and call it a day. And why can't I use it on XP? Why can't I still buy Win 7 at least? Look, I'm here waving money at you...

Macro for Table Property

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 06:11 AM PST

1 - I have an 85 page Word document with some tables which each have a bookmark (beginning with "TBL") and I need to apply the table property "Repeat as Header Row at the top of each page" to each table via a macro (not manually).

How can I do this?

2 - Is it doable if I don't know the bookmark name?

How do I turn off automatic scrolling in Word 2013???

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 04:34 AM PST

I type many documents each day and this problem is driving me to distraction!!  As I type the cursor and text moves down the page and ends up at the bottom of the page, something that did not happen in previous versions of Word.  I need the text to stay at eye height, something that used to be controlled with the scroll lock but this does not work!!!  I have checked for add-ons but do not have any and have found no other clues as to how to stop this.  

I really hope someone can help soon!!

Word 2013 Office.com clipart not available after installing language pack

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 03:12 AM PST

After I installed Icelandic language pack for my Office Word 2013, I can't seem to be able to insert Office.com Clip Art.

I got to Insert - Online Pictures and try to search for Clip Art but I don't get any results. 

However if I change the display language of Word back to English I can search for clip arts just fine.

Any suggestions? I don't get any error message. Bing Image Search still works fine. This is happening on several computers at my company.

While Opening word file an error message is displayed that "Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly, Word will need to be closed as a result".

Opening a new word document

Hierarchy in Office

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 12:09 AM PST

Almost all the Office related products help the user to think in hierarchies when appropriate:
  • In Word one can use levels in Outline view, and also tables and indented bullet points (and even combine them all - with diffculty)
  • In Excel one can use columns and/or rows to create ordered hierarchies 
  • ditto Access, but with knobs on
  • In Powerpoint one can use indented bullet points, and use the slides as the highest level of indentation
  • In Project the Task hierarchy is one of the core organising functions

  • Even in Outlook/Live Mail one can use indented bullet points,

Wouldn't it be great if one could transfer hierarchical structures simply among all these Microsoft tools, with them appearing in each tool in the appropriate view, but maintaining all the embedded relationships?


Office provides some of this interoperability, but it is clunky: Word to Excel and back is the smoothest, and Word to Powerpoint works but not well (and the facility is well hidden from those who do not know about it from the days of XP and 95).  What I would like to have built into the Office suite is the architectural understanding that hierarchy is one of the most powerful ways of organising thought, and have it supported intrinsically and robustly in the all these tools.  In other words, whichever tool one uses to create the hierarchy, it should be crystal clear throughout the whole Office suite (and relevant related products) that the hierarchy - the same hierarchy - can be viewed and edited in every Office (and Project) tool in a manner that works for that tool.  The techniques for moving among the different tools and their different views should be consistent - that would emerge naturally if the overall problem were solved as a matter of architecture, instead of the disparate clunky fixes we have now.


I am sure that the inconsistencies and clunky utilities have emerged from a history of merging different products with different architectures.  (Even Outline View within Word - a wonderful and powerful tool - seems to show signs of having originated in a different place from Word itself.)  A large part of the reason I use Microsoft, and dismiss my daughter's adulation of Apple IOS, stems from Microsoft's democratic, engineer-driven, pragmatic approach to integrating products rather than the faintly Fascist ideology of inventing and controlling everything and striving for a perfection that exists in the mind of one architect straight out of Ayn Rand, before whom all actual mortals falter.  (Ignoring for the moment the imperatives of competition and profit that make both companies equally rapacious in buying in other peoples' products.)  But each genuine leap forward for Office has stemmed from integration and new architectural clarity, and I am proposing an architecture-based leap forward into a new level of integration that is crying to happen.


For myself, I would like it to be a leap forward from Windows 7 / Office.  (I have put a lot of effort into trying to migrate to the touch screen / gesture world and find it messy - both literally on the screen and metaphorically in supporting clarity of thought.  OK, I am revealing that I am an out-of-date fuddy-duddy, clinging to the certainty of my keyboard.  Forget that.)  Even for the state-of-the-art aficionados of Windows 8 and its sequelae in the touchy-feely line of development, it would be a boon to have an integrated, transparent approach in Office to thinking in hierarchies.


I am sure I cannot be the first person to think of this obvious way to improve Office, but I have never read anyone else writing about it in quite this way.

Word 2010 Issue

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 09:31 PM PST

After launcing word and a blank document template is displayed, my cursor flashes with a small disk icon under the cursor arrow. It's like it's working on something in the background or looking to load something from a CD. This happens the entire time word is open and although it doesn't prohibit me from creating a document, it is incredibly annoying because when I want to click on any icon on the tool bar to perform any function the cursor is flashing and it makes it difficult to place the cursor on a function Icon exactly where it's supposed to go.

Cannot Delete Drawing or Chart from MS Word 2010 document

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 05:15 PM PST

It is literally impossible for me to delete two images that is in a Word 2010 document.  I highlight the borders, press Delete, and nothing happens. I can highlight the elements of the chart and delete some of them, but not all of them. Sometimes when I press delete, the colored box in the title bar switches from Chart to Drawing (or back again). Note that I can spin the drawing, and I can even Cut it (though it still doesn't disappear). I can resize the chart area or do anything I want to it. Except that I cannot remove it.

Why can't I remove this chart or drawing? How do I do so?

I believe this chart was created by copying it from Excel. I broke two links to charts in the File - Info - Related Documents section. Since I only have those two charts, I suppose those were the links I broke. But I still can't delete them.

Edit: Oh yeah, the document was originally created with an earlier version of Word (I think), because it used to open in Compatability mode until I used the Convert button.

Thanks.

I just loaded up my word document one day and find that all the text had suddenly lost its font (Mistral).  I searched the fonts folder (not there), used program repair on Microsoft Office, but Mistral is still missing.  Any idea how this happened and how to fix it?  I'd rather not have to buy it considering it came with the computer in the first place.

ConfigMgmt best practice for Sys Admin (config files, etc.)

Posted: 21 Oct 2005 06:17 PM PDT


"Daniel P. Kionka" <com> wrote in message
news:supernews.com... 

Oh, goodness, I go through this all the time. I distrust CVS for this, due
to the usual method of having to create a central CVS repository, unless you
set up a CVS on each machine. I tend to use RCS locally for little config
files like /etc/fstab, /etc/exports, /etc/hosts, etc. Just make sure never
to RCS lock a file that may be edited by the system dynamically or by
another administrator behind your back. Check it in, check it back out
immediately, and you can run "rcsdiff" to track the changes.

updating SuSE 8.1 --> 10

Posted: 21 Oct 2005 10:07 AM PDT

Bob Hairgrove <com> did eloquently scribble: 

Did you try the textmode install?
never had trouble with that.

 

You can install suse 10 using the text mode install and then worry about X.
If you're so worried about not being able to configure it, save your
original XF86Config file to a floppy and try that when you've completed the
install. I can't imagine the config file format changing that much since
they branched, it might just be a matter of changing the name to xorgconfig.

If simply changing the name of the config file and using it to replace the
config file present doesn't work, try this...

Xorg is a branch of XF86, so it should work...

SaX2 isn't the only way to configure X. X can produce a config file for
itself (it needs a bit more work, when you do it this way, but X usually
auto detects the graphics and monitor settings properly, when SaX can't)

It USED to be "X -configure"
 

They did?
How? By releasing the distribution for free from the start rather than
making available after 4 months, like they used to?
Have you CHECKED if the pdfs of the manual are in the distro like they
always used to be? look in /usr/share/books
 

Simply upgrading from 8.1 to 10 would be a massive undertaking if you chose
to do it manually...
So much has changed, 2.4 and 2.6 changes have inherent problems, all the
software will be on a version of glibc far removed from the one on 8.1
meaning, if you upgrade glibc to get the new stuff working, you'd probably
break all the old stuff...

I've found before that if you upgrade, it's best to only perform the upgrade
between quite close versions, say, upgrading from 8.1 to 8.3 would be ok,
but you'd run into problems if you went far beyond that.

The best way to install if you're more than about 4 versions behind is to
reinstall, or get your hands on a previous version in between to use as a
stepping stone.

Give them the root password.

You may as well do it directly, (with an accompanying talk) instead
of giving it to them indirectly by letting them run whatever they like
as root.

Alternatively, setup 'sudu' and let then run the crontab command as root.

You are still effectively giving them full access though.

PCMCIA problem with Travelmate 6500

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 06:01 PM PDT

On Fri, 21 Oct 2005 19:32:48 +0200, <com> wrote:
 

Are there any messages on the screen? What does this crash look like?
 

First I should avoid any misunderstanding that arises because it may look
like I am more knowledgeable than I am. Take what I say as suggestions from
one who is quite much scrambling in the dark.

I tried to look up in the Linux kernel code where the message about
"please try pci=biosirq" comes from, and found it in the file
arch/i386/pci/irq.c. Of course, I don't understand much of the code,
I would have to spend a couple of weeks reading it and googling to read
up on harware issues, pci and cardbus standards etc.

However, this may be a lead:

if (io_apic_assign_pci_irqs) {
... (not executed)
} else if (pci_probe & PCI_BIOS_IRQ_SCAN)
msg = ""; (not executed)
else
msg = " Please try using pci=biosirq."; (executed)

I hardly remember what is "apic", but I see in your original post that:

# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC is not set

Did you configure and compile your own kernel, or is this a distribution kernel?

For whatever it is worth, my own kernel has

$ grep APIC /boot-copy/config-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set

I don't have any 2.4 kernel around.

The help information on these options goes:

config X86_UP_APIC
bool "Local APIC support on uniprocessors"
depends on !SMP && !(X86_VISWS || X86_VOYAGER)
help
A local APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't
have a local APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at
all. The local APIC supports CPU-generated self-interrupts (timer,
performance counters), and the NMI watchdog which detects hard
lockups.

config X86_UP_IOAPIC
bool "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors"
depends on X86_UP_APIC
help
An IO-APIC (I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
SMP-capable replacement for PC-style interrupt controllers. Most
SMP systems and many recent uniprocessor systems have one.

If you have a single-CPU system with an IO-APIC, you can say Y here
to use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't have
an IO-APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at all.


Looking a little more at the code, it now seems to me that the lines I quoted
above, apply mostly to SMP systems, and that the failure in your case happens
earlier. "io_apic_assign_pci_irqs" is a macro that computes to "0" if
X86_UP_IOAPIC is not selected.


Another thing that attracts my attention is:

#
# PCMCIA/CardBus support
#
CONFIG_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
CONFIG_TCIC=y
CONFIG_I82092=y
CONFIG_I82365=y

I notice that PCMCIA is included only as a module, and the rest as
compiled-in. I know very little about this, I just had a vague notion that
PCMCIA is a broader and more fundamental concept than e.g. Cardbus.

While generally the kernel configuration system is good at preventing you
from this kind of mistakes, since something now obviously is wrong, I feel
like inquiring about this: What if the other parts actually require PCMCIA?
I believe that the kernel allways runs the init functions of all compiled-
in modules before that of any loadable module. This could be the wrong order.

Sort order of activities

Posted: 30 Sep 2004 02:22 PM PDT

After sending my previous reply, I realized that it dealt with global
custom activity views in Workplace > Activities, whereas Jason's
original question was specifically about activities associated with an
Opportunity. So, just to clarify, the precise answer to that question
is:

http://<crm-server>/tools/viewEditor/viewManager.aspx?id={00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001903}
(for the Activities and History tabs)

http://<crm-server>/tools/viewEditor/viewManager.aspx?id={00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001951}
(for the Sales Process tab)

While you could use Crystal Reports to build/display the reports you
want via webparts, your time might be better invested in using SQL
Server Reporting Services. Reporting Services will be the reporting
engine in MSCRM 2005, but you can also use it right now with CRM 1.2, as
described at
http://www.sonomapartners.com/articles/microsoft-crm-sql-report-pack.aspx.

Queue problem and incoming email directed at crm

Posted: 30 Sep 2004 08:26 AM PDT

No Matt - it all works fine now. I just had to dabble in port numbers
because of several websites - CRM being configurable took the hit for the
change and still worked ok so decided originally to leave it as is on port
8080 for now. What I did not realise was the reg entries on other servers
needed hacking to suite, clearly proven by changing it back to port 80 and
it working.

Thanks

Microsoft releases Reporting Services Reporting Pack for MS CRM

Posted: 29 Sep 2004 11:20 AM PDT


The download is free. But the license basis (although talked about as free)
appears to be as a "reporting services trial software" (120 Days) against
the information indicated in the FAQ! I am loathed to install anything that
will only run on an evaluation basis. Don't suppose you have any information
on the full download? The message from Microsoft here is FAR from clear.

Import/publish customizations programmatically (for picklist updating, e.g.)?

Posted: 29 Sep 2004 06:58 AM PDT

Chris,

As far as I know, there is no support for automating the Export/Import/publish
processes. It is a simple matter to programatically edit the XML to include the
updated values as you are doing manually.

If you wanted to be adventurous, you could try editing the stored XML in the
OrganzationUIBase table. Then all that should be needed would be to Publish.

While you can query picklist values with CRMCustomization's
RetrievePicklist method, there is no corresponding "setter" method or
any other supported way to update those values programmatically.
Mainly, I think, this is because picklists are contained in form XSL and
thus must be published before taking effect. I can deal with that. I'm
still seeking a programmatic solution, unsupported though it may be.
The idea actually applies more generally than to just picklists:
programmatically publishing customizations. But my immediate need is to
periodically -- and automatically -- update picklists in CRM from
sources maintained externally.

During configuration for our customers we often apply the technique of
manually editing (very carefully!) the customizations XML and then
importing/publishing that, especially for long picklists and/or those
that appear in multiple forms (e.g., state and country picklists to
replace the standard text fields). My complete programmatic solution
would incorporate this: 1) export customizations, 2) modify the
customizations XML, then 3) import/publish those customizations.
Obviously, step 3 is the major hurdle.

Anyone with an angle on this?

Thanks,

The steps to "recover" the DB onto the new server are covered in the Disaster

Root Toolbar

Eli,

If you are good with Javascript, you should be able to add elements to the page
in the window.onload to do this. You will need to dig to determine the correct
page to modify though.

This will NOT remove existing data from the tables. The warning is there
because you are updating the picklists and as a result can cause a data problem

of course you can also disable the memo field by using javascript when
loading the aspx file (modifying the aspx file is not supported, but it
sometimes is needed).
you can then add 2 pick lists, both with the same values, and one memo
field. the first picklist will be adding the products to the disabled
memofield, the second removing the products. then you do have your selfmade
multi select box.

How do you setup workflow rules?

Posted: 28 Sep 2004 12:53 PM PDT

If you have a sales professional license, use the workflow manager. Just
select the opportunity object in the object dropdown, chooses sales process
in the view dropdown, and choose file->new from the menu.

If you have a standard license, you have to do a form customization that
sets a close probability field on your opportunity form as the tasks in the
process are complete.
