I'm on the other side of the coin, wishing there was a fairly basic
version of Office for the average person with the basics in word
processing, spreadsheets AND mail/pim etc. I still FONDLY remember my
first computer with Wordstar (industry standard word processor at the
time) loaded on ONE 360 KILOBYTE floppy and, to be perfectly honest, I
can't think of a thing I do now which I couldn't do then except for
entering the commands graphically rather than with a command line type
entry.

Anyway, I was astounded the first time I saw the Windows version of the
Home and Student Office and found no pim/e-mail BUT Notes instead. I
had to wonder how many students did NOT want or need a PIM and e-mail
program. I had hoped, when I moved to Macs and found that we home users
at least got some sort of pim/e-mail program that it would continue. ;-(

Office for Mac 2008 License key transfer?

Hello!
I have a Mac Book Pro (still a novice mac user) and installed Office
for Mac 2008 about a year ago. My husband just purchased his own mac
book pro yesterday and I installed my office software onto it as I
thought I had up to 3 licenses but every time I open it up on his
computer it states:

"An office program is being used by Ski Tamarack. Your Installation
exceeds then number of installations permitted by the license
agreement. Click More Information to go online to learn about
Microsoft Office Licensing"

When they say 3 licenses, does this mean networked computers? We are
not networked.

I have two sleeves in my software box, one for Office for Mac Media
Addition AND Office Mac. Each one has a different product key. I tried
to follow the instructions on how to delete a product key by getting
rid of the Product key so I can try another one but that is not
working. It makes me delete these OfficePIDlplist??? files. I trashed
them, empty trash and then restart. then when I open word (or any
office program) then the set up assistant is suppose to start up so I
can enter a new product code. Yeah, that's not working. And I don't
know how to delete an entire program honestly for a mac.


I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks!

Will there be a 2008->2010 upgrade?

Posted: 04 Jun 2010 01:53 AM PDT

In the past the education edition (now known as 'Home & Student') has been
eligible for upgrade to the 'standard' edition, but not to a new version of
the education edition. What the policy will be for Office 2011 has not yet
been announced, but I doubt that it will change... As Jim said, that's a
part of the reason why the education version is significantly cheaper than
any of the other editions of the version.

Update picklist value with javascript

If you are looking for a way to have 2 picklists which have the same value,
look into the onchange event of the picklist properties. You can define a
javascript.

document.crmForm.Picklist1.value = document.crmForm.Picklist2.value

or something in the likes of that.

Security of CRM 1.2 onwards

Posted: 01 Oct 2004 07:37 AM PDT

Just keep in mind that when you expose CRM to the Internet you are exposing
your business pipeline to the entire world. If you take this route make sure
you have the entire system locked down as much as you can. Just imagine what
happens when one of your sales guys log into your CRM from a terminal in the
airport then forget to disconnect and simply walk away. An extreme example
maybe but a real possiblity. Today you can get CRM running over the internet
using SSL etc. However in real terms I always recommend using VPN if
possible.

Pickuplist type values from db

Posted: 01 Oct 2004 04:07 AM PDT

The heart of the matter is that picklist values are stored statically in
form XSL generated when you publish via Deployment Manager and cannot be
filled dynamically from an external data source. Even doing so in a
programmatic batch way is not direct -- if indeed it's possible at all.
The CRMCustomization class exposes a RetrievePicklist method but no
corresponding SetPicklist (or whatever) method. I have noted, but have
not yet had time to explore, the UpdateOrganizationalUI method of
CRMCustomization. The SDK describes this method as "for internal use
only," but it is public. My current thinking is that programming
against this method, along with a parallel programmatic manipulation of
the corresponding XSL files (so as to emulate publishing) might make
what you are seeking possible.

But, as I say, I haven't had time to investigate this route deeply. If
anyone else has experience with the UpdateOrganizationalUI method, I'd
be interested in hearing it.

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?

Word Template Dialog Box

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...

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.

Embedded Word document displays multiple columns

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 11:30 PM PST

Original title: MS office

I have one word file and one excel file in my system. If I am opening normally it opens with single column, In case  if I am inserting the MS word file into the MS excel then if I opening the same word file from the MS excel file it opens with 4 columns instead of the single column. Since its urgent I am expecting the Microsoft expert to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

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 clicked on Word and it said an error has occerd

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 05:09 PM PST

After I clicked on Word to open it said an error has occured

A font has disappeared.

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 04:44 PM PST

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.

Newbie question about static routing

If there is a static address, zeroconf must not

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

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.

problem?

The *70 disables call waiting, and the comma waits a second or two
before dialing the phone number. Used this a lot during my college
days (roommates had call waiting) but my house phone doesn't (I'm too

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.
