Is it possible to have more than 5 icons (places) on the XP standard Place Bar?

Posted: 13 Jun 2006 10:25 PM PDT

Hi Bob

Thanks for the reply, but I want to know if the standard OS Place Bar
can have more than 5, not the Office verstion of the Place Bar. As I
undertsand it they are two different things and governed by two
regsitry enteries in different locations. The PlaceBar for Office can
only be used by the office applications, like Word, Excel, etc. However
the standard one is used by all other applications like FireFox,
Thunderbird, Paint, etc.

There are many postings about the Office PlaceBar, but not many on the
standard PlaceBar other than using Group Policy and Tweak UI which all
offer 5 slots.

So can the standard PlaceBar have more than 5 icons?
Thanks

Hi,

You could also check if Word remains open through the following command.

Start> Run> winword /a

Also, if you do get any error report, do we have any field that corresponds
to 'Mod Name'.
Reply back if there is any info you could get off the error message.

Thanks,

You need to do a Save As.

And **please** make sure you read all forewarnings about betas before you
download them. You should NEVER try a beta on a production system. I won't
run it on my system because the stability of my computer is critical to me.

Hi,

If it's Office installation, try disabling softwares like Spy-Sweeper and
try installing Office again.
Do reply back with the version of Office.

Download corrupt?

Posted: 11 Jun 2006 06:53 AM PDT

Hi Warren,

No, not really :) Some folks have Winzip or another 'unzipper' on the PC and sometimes using that will create an incorrect file
structure to install from when it unpacks. (Inside the Office download is a CD image of Office 2007 Professional Beta 2).

In other cases the temporary files or internet cache folders get clogged/full and get in the way after an incomplete installation so
a bit of file cleanup is needed using just the Windows provided basic tools.

Posted: 11 Jun 2006 01:06 AM PDT

As Milly said, you have posted to the wrong newsgroup but....

If you have updated XP to SP2, the previous version won't install any
"updated" components since you are using a version older than the one you
currently have installed. To get around this problem, you need to
slipstream the SP2 onto the original install disk for XP. Google for
slipstreaming XP updates and see all the answers to your problem.

MS OFfice 2007 Beta Activation Problem

Posted: 09 Jun 2006 01:48 PM PDT

Hi Jon,

MS does not provide telephone activation for Beta, Preview or Trial software.

Three common causes of Office activation via the internet not being able to connect are

1. Router security settings too advanced.
2. Proxy servers requiring username/password authentication.
3. Firewall/anti-[something] software not being set to allow the specific programs from Office/Activation to access the internet.

Each of these will need a workaround on your end.

=========
<<"JonB" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
I also cannot activate MS Office 2007 via the activation wizard. The
telephone activation option is grayed out. The internet activation option
tries but I get a message that my internet connection is off, however, it's
working just fine. I made several calls to MS, reached an activation
department but they referred me the MS support site and told me to post my
question in the search box and that resulted in no responses. They also told
me there was an activation option via their web site, but I'm unable to find
that. Any help would be aprreciated.

One of your other options is to call Microsoft Tech Support and explain your
problem. I purchased a copy of software that the PID code label had been
damaged during packing and was of no use. Microsoft not only gave me another
PID over the phone, they even offered to exchange the software at no cost.
Sometimes you get what you pay for if you check out your options.

I have also found that occasionally we purchase something online or at a
swap-meet that isn't what it appears to be - perhaps this is a counterfited
or pirated copy ? This is just a thought...there are resources on
Microsoft.com to identify a bad copy.

If it's a good then you should have no problems in getting a good PID code
or replacement copy - I am quite certain a phone call to Tech Support will
get you everything you need !!

The 3 users uses the same common pst file, and it's configured as

The problem is each xpUser is recognized as diferent location (thougth
they're on same compuer) and the mailsystem returns again all the
emais. We only can solve this, disabbling the "leave on server option"
then when, one user downloads emails, they're erased from server and
they're not exists for nexted users download. But this solution crasesh
with our backup/security policies.

You know how mailSystem determines the user that is attemptting to

we're the only users that need manage the same email account,
(preserving a backup copy on server), from from same PC. ... ?? becasue
a think it's normal issue ...

Hi Pablo,

You might want to see FAQ #16 "Project Viewer" at:

for some additional information. You can "take a picture" of your Gantt

if you mean only printing out bits of the project where there is activity in

print out the gantt chart, cut & paste onto a new sheet of paper & then
photocopy - or use the camera icon to capture a picture of your gantt chart

How does MS Project determine PERT pessimistic and optimistic?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 07:37 PM PST

I'm not a statistician, but from reading about this, I understand that
PERT analysis is outdated and basically misleading at best, erroneous
at worst, because it doesn' t take into account the cumulative risk
along a given path, just the individual risk of each task. If you're
going to get real, use Monte Carlo analysis. There are a number of
tools out there that do this.

You can use a text field to hold you own ID,use formula ID-1 , or other more

&"-" & [ID]),you can build intellegent into your ID as we can do in P3

This is definitely a big problem with Project. It's not unusual for
staff people to implement the scheduling on a daily basis, but they

even addressing this issue. Does anyone?

What exactly is MS Project?

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 12:47 PM PST

Max,
Project is Scheduling software, primarily used to implement Critical
Path Scheduling for a work effort involving multiple resources over a
finite period of time. Like building an office, creating software,
going to the moon or climbing Mt Everest. It's NOT for ongoing efforts
like running a business or manufacturing.
Like a lot of software, it can be used at different levels of
sophistication and comensurate difficulty.
I'd reccommend you go to the bookstore and sit down with a copy of "MS
Project for Dummies" or one of the more basic manuals and read the
first chapter. And visit the MVP website.
Best of luck.

Programming progress bars

Posted: 31 Mar 2005 10:27 AM PST

The problem is that the % complete field is calculated partially on the
duration field. We would like to calculate it based on work and actual work
(ie actual work/work * 100 - This would give "actual" % complete). We would
like the progress bar to reflect this calculation.

We have created the schedule based on a fixed work schedule. No matter how
long the task is, the BCWP is based on the actual work that is performed and
the alloted hours (work field) for the task.

Thanks for your help

footer with an auto text filename and path

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 10:42 AM PDT

In Word 2003 I was able to create a template for a particular document and insert a footer with an auto
text filename and path, so that when that template was used to create a new
document and saved as a document the footer changed to reflect the document's
filename. If the document was subsequently opened and revised and re-saved with
a revised filename the footer would automatically change (not initially when
viewed but would be changed on the print out or subsequently when closed and
re-opened)

 

In Word 2013 it doesn't seem to be possible to do the same. Progress??!!

 

I can add the field containing the filename and path to the template footer but this does not automatically
change to reflect the document's filename when saved.

 

Is there a way? 

Office Word 2010 Readability Stats greyed out

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 08:42 AM PDT

Hi All,

I'm trying to help someone less tech savvy than myself with a Office Word 2010 issue in that the want to turn on and use the "Readability Stats" option when running the spell/grammar checker. The problem is that upon going to the appropriate Options>Proofing check boxes the option to "Show readability Stats" is greyed out thus making it impossible to activate it, is there a way to ungrey it and activate it?

The version of Office 2010 Professional Plus is a Volume License installed by a now closed/ceased trading local IT shop as far as I know, also when you start Word there are pop up boxes saying that to run this option Macros need to be enabled at the point of installation, which I presume has not been done, I am presuming that the greyed box and macro problem are related but then I'm probably wrong. 

So far I have not found any installation file left by the IT shop so I don't want to uninstall Office completely incase I cannot get Office 2010 back. I've tried a "Repair Install" from the control panel but still no success. Unfortunately I don't have immediate access to the laptop concerned as the owner still uses it for their work and travels a lot so I would require options to try as and when I can get access to it.

Thanks in Advance

The A5 paper size template in Word 2003 has vanished - what do I do to get it back?

Posted: 09 Mar 2014 08:35 AM PDT

I often use the A5 template in word 2003. I have always just been able to go to 'page set up' > 'paper', and been able to select A5 as an option. I tried to do the same today, only to find the 'A5' option has vanished of the face of the earth. Where did it go, and how do I get it back?!?

For the record, I can't think of anything that I might have done to upset things. All I do with my computer is use word, surf the internet, edit pictures and play the odd game... so I haven't been messing around with program files or anything.

Also I haven't installed anything recently.

Multiple unwanted printer designations

How can I create a hyper link to a file that ignores when the directory structure is moved to a new drive letter or home directory

Posted: 08 Mar 2014 07:35 PM PST

I have been trying for hours to create a hyperlink that is immune to having my directory tree and linked files moved.  I am pretty sure I need to use relative paths and have searched online, but the answers really don't address this.

I have a directory structure like this:

First Directory

 | Primary Document

+- Organization

 |     Doc A

 |     Doc B

 |     Doc C

+- Operation

 |     (more docs)

+- Taxes

 |     (more docs)

+- Financial

 |     (more docs)

Along with other overview information, the "Primary Document" has links to all of the documents in the subsequent subdirectories.

I am authoring "Primary Document" on my local drive.  The path to it is "C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\First Directory\Primary Document.docx".

The file path in a hyper link would look something like this "File:///c:\Users\<user name>\Documents\First Directory\Organization\Doc A.Docx"

I will be distributing this document to other team members on a USB stick. "First Directory" will be off the root directory of the USB stick. 

However, when I copy the directory structure to the USB stick the links no longer work.  Depending on what I am trying, I get Word thinking that I have specified an URL so it doesn't prepend the File:///, or file not found.

I have the "Update Links on Save" unchecked.  I have tried changing Hyperlink base to things like ".\" without the quotes.  Word seems to ignore this.  I have left it blank. This results in adding File:///e:%5d to the file name in the Hyperlink. I also tried a lot of other things hoping I could luck into the solution.

I have read many documents that I have found online and none of the suggestions/advice has worked or helped.

I am at my wits end, which might not be very far ;-), and would appreciate and help.

I have found a bug in MS word bibliography styles

Posted: 08 Mar 2014 07:14 PM PST

The bibliography styles all include a template labelled 'NoCommaBeforeAnd', which is used throughout all the styles to remove commas. However, in most cases, it does not remove the commas as it is supposed to, as commas are only removed if they follow the word 'and'.

eg. the style sheets apply 'NoCommaBeforeAnd' to 'et al.' and '&', but the commas are not removed.

If anyone more skilled than I knows where these templates are sourced from, I would appreciate a reply with the location, as I don't know how the xsl files resolve '/*/b:Locals/b:Local[@LCID=$_LCID]/b:General/b:NoCommaBeforeAnd'.

works 7 opening files (history list)

Posted: 15 May 2008 02:42 PM PDT

What operating system are you using?

If Windows XP you might try using the cleanup utilities.

Example can be found here......

Upper case/Lower Case text

Posted: 14 May 2008 04:48 PM PDT

Kabanakim,

Another way might be to create a new field if there is room to do this. Also
take a look at the LOWER/UPPPER/PROPER formula.

If you just want to make say all last names in a field to upper case you
might want to use the formula =UPPER(LAST NAME), first create new field
called say "UPPERLASTNAME". Good luck. Dave

Problems with Works word processor.

Posted: 11 May 2008 03:16 PM PDT

If you had the Works install CD/DVD you could try reinstalling Works.
I'm guessing that it came preinstalled on your PC. In that case you
need to contact the PC manufacturer for how to reinstall Works. In some
cases, the needed files are in a folder on the hard drive. In others it
might be on the PC manufacturer's DVD. And in others, the only option
they have to restore the PC to the factory settings which wipes out all
of your data.

Another option is the Works 8.5 update. Although it doesn't seem to
directly address your problem, the update may fix something that is
broken in Works. See the following:

You receive an error message when you are working in Works 8: "Microsoft
Works 8 has stopped working"

Hi "Who2"! When you open Works you will see a blue question mark in the top
right corner. Click that and then click the very bottom link from the drop
down menu you will get. It should say "About Microsoft Works." This will
tell you the version you are running. This is how you can find out about
virtually any program you wish to identify.

Open Notepad on each PC and try File, Open. Do you get the same

Works 6.0 file viewer

Posted: 07 May 2008 06:47 PM PDT

The Word Viewer is actually the Word program with the edit/save options
disabled. As such it probably needs the same converter that the full
Word would need.

I found a working link for the converter here:

Word 2000 no longer Loading into my XP

Posted: 06 May 2008 06:12 AM PDT

I new copy might not help you anyways,

What can happen is the registry entries for a program get corrupted, or
some program files. And an uninstall/reinstall won't necessarily clean
this up.

What needs to be done is an uninstall, then some registry cleanup and/or
file clean up, then the reinstall.

The cleanup step is the trick. I don't know what that involves for
Word, but someone in a Word newsgroup may know.

Converting decimal to minutes and seconds

Posted: 06 May 2008 05:55 AM PDT

Hi Steven,

If you enter your info using the spreadsheet time format, then your formula
would be a simple sum function.

Your example: 1.24 is 1 minute 24 secs

Should be written as 0:1:24, which will display as 0:01:24

In other words, zero hours, 1 minute, 24 seconds. "spreadsheet time format"
(hr,min,sec)

Lets say you input:

0:1:24
0:2:23
0:20:18

I will display as:

0:01:24
0:02:23
0:20:18

Then format your Total cell as Time using Hour, Minute, Second format.

Assuming the above display is in Cell A1 thru A3.

Your formula in Total cell is =SUM(A1:A3).

The result would be: 0:24:05

Just a thought,
Ken

Removing Words from Spell Check

Posted: 05 May 2008 06:53 AM PDT

The file that contains added words for Works (2000 thru V9) is CUSTOM.DIC.
On my Vista Home Premium system it's in
C:\USERS\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC, where the xxxxx is your
Windows user ID. You can edit CUSTOM.DIC with Notepad, deleting any word(s)
you wish. This file IS in a hidden folder, so you'll never see it unless
you make the Folder Options Ken points out.

Hit the Insert key to toggle 'Overtype' off and on.

Conversion of Works 95 docs to Windows XP, Version 5.1

Posted: 01 May 2008 02:42 AM PDT

Thank you, Michael. That sounds like a reasonable suggestion and I have
indeed seen Works 6 on the 'Net at a fairly inexpensive price. Your assist
should be most helpful, as part of the issue was that I didn't know which
Works version would be compatible with the old data.

Your assumption is correct: I no longer have the old PC, although there are
days when I wish I did.

I haven't tried to copy the diskette files from Windows Explorer, since I
actually didn't get that far. I inserted the diskette and tried to open the
A: drive from "My Computer." That's when I received the message that the
disk had not been formatted and could not be opened. Since the two Word docs
on the diskette read just fine, I know formatting isn't the real issue.

Thank you again - I'll start shopping for Works 6, and will avoid Works 8
and 9.

Currency symbols in Works Database not appearing in Works mail mer

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 09:25 PM PDT

Lea had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 02-05-08 08:25: 

Dear Leanne,

Works' database is the best part of Works. You will see that saving
twice (as wdb-file and as csv-file) will become a routine. Before 2000 I
used Works 4.5a and it worked like a dream. Helas Microsoft broke the
program and left us with a program that we had loved but had become
nearly useless as far as mail merge is concerned. I tried field with
complicated formulas for amounts, dates and times, but then worked
around the issue the way I told you. The benefit is that calculations
and text formulas too will carry over into the merge. Things will become
as easy as they were before.

Works' database has another quality: the making of reports. You will be
happy with the possibilities this gives.

There is an alternative, of course: openoffice.org. I use it now; in
fact I have given up on Windows because it is too inscecure. Windows has
lost the war against all kinds of malware. I use Linux now with
openoffice.org and am very happy with it. There is a learning curve however.

So, for the time being stick to Works for you mail merge and discover
the qualities of Works' database in spite of Microsoft's crippling of
mail merge.

Good luck

Erik Jan
