Re-Submit 24 hour calendar

Posted: 09 Apr 2005 02:37 AM PDT

Dale,

Thanks for your help. There was definitely a disconnect on my part. All the
ref material I have indicate that project comes with 3 base calendars. I
assumed that I needed to activate the calendar some how, not create it. Now I
know. Thanks again!

Hi.

I am from Venezuela and my English in not good. But i need your help please.
I am working with users and resources in project but i have several problems
than i dont know how resolve.
1) We have the Enterprise Managment in our enterprise and we sincronize
Project Server with the Active Directory(AD). By error, Whe was sincronize
first the groups and then the Resource pool, and this order created the user
but not the resources in the enterprise pool. We deleted the user by PWA and
then we deleted the register from the MSP_WEB_RESOURCES table. Then I changed
the order and sincronized first the Enterprise Pool and then the Groups. In
this oportunity the people was not be created neither the user niether the
resource. Why? Then i open the Enterprise Resource Pool and add the user from
the AD y this cause an error that explain in professional that the windows
account for the users is dupplicated, but i dont find that people in the
resources tables, i dont find that people in the resource pool and i dont
find that people in the PWA. Why i can't create them from the Enterprise Pool?

2) How i can found the differences between an user of PWA and a resource. I
want know which users are only user for PWA but not are Resources? It is
possible? How?

Very thanks for your help

How can I set a task to occur (X) time before another task?

Posted: 08 Apr 2005 06:39 AM PDT

I find it helpful to think of "predecessor" as meaning "controlling" and
"successor" as meaning "controlled" in these contexts. So "Install Roof" is
the predecessor since its schedule controls when you need to perform the
successor "Order Panels" even though the Install comes after the Order in
the time sequence. Link "Install Roof" as the predecessor with "Order
Panels" as the successor. Set the link type to SF, Start-to-Finish (the
opposite of the normal FS), so the start of the predecessor links to the
finish of the successor. Add a 4 week lead time (lag time = -4 weeks).

Assigning resources to tasks

Posted: 08 Apr 2005 06:27 AM PDT

Julie,

Just when I posted it I thought of the following.
When you have a "leveled" situation A and you level one more time to a
situation say B, indeed clear leveling will not revert to situation A but to
a fully unleveled situation.
So when you think you will need an "undo" to an already leveled situation
you indeed need a backup.

Greetings,

Setting up non-working calendars for resources

Posted: 07 Apr 2005 01:21 PM PDT

Just a quick response related to tracking budget without costs. I have
worked within a organization that managed using earned value, calculated with
hours. This required some custom tables and macros within MS Project,
because I believe MS Project's out of the box earned value approach relies on
using the cost fields. The approach I particpated in used custom ACWP, BCWS,
BCWP fields based off Work, Remaining Work, Actual Work, and Baseline Work
values. We also had the option of using cost in dollars (vs. hours) for
doing Earned Value calculations.

Hyperlinks & Bookmarks in an htm (Web Page) document

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 02:57 PM PDT

I produce a lot of .htm documents via Word 2010.

I have an issue whereby I am linking to another .htm file and to a bookmark within the file e.g.

filename.htm#BOOKMARK

If the bookmark is in all CAPS then 2 things invariably happen. When the document is saved:

1) Word automatically inserts a new paragraph after the hyperlink/bookmark.

2) All the text below the hyperlink/bookmark now contains multiple, multiple hyperlinks. If the document is long there can be hundreds of automatically generated hyperlinks for whole paragraphs.

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. Version 14.0.7116.5000 (64 bit) [supplied by the company).

I have searched and searched to see if this has been reported but had no luck.

Guessing the Name

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:04 PM PDT

So I liked the feature on the old Microsft Word (before 2013) that took the first line and used it automatically as the title when you went to save. I noticed that in Word 2013, or at least my edition, it no longer does that, instead taking the name of the last thing you saved or the last thing you opened as the default. Why is that? Is there some kind of switch that I have turned off? Or is it not on the new product? If so, I really hope they make an update to include that, as it was very helpful.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Office 365 suddenly stopped working

I purchased Office 365 University a couple of months ago. It was working fine until today when I tried to open some of my Word documents-they didn't open- nothing happened at all. I tried just opening Word but nothing happens then either. It seems to be same for Excel as well. When I looked in the control panel programs section none of the Office programs were there.

Word 2013 freezes for ~5 secs on save with message "Uploading to OneDrive"

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I'm running into an annoying problem where every time I save a Word 2013 document, Word hangs for about 5 to 10 seconds with the message "Uploading to OneDrive" on that status bar.  I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro and the document is saved locally to my SkyDrive/OneDrive folder.  I would expect that the SkyDrive/OneDrive sync would save these files to the cloud but instead it looks like the Microsoft Office Upload Center app is doing it instead.  I *think* that what's happening is that Microsoft Office Upload Center is blocking Word 2013 from running while it uploads to the cloud.

It also appears that Word 2013 thinks it's opening the OneDrive version of the file rather than the file that's living on my local disk even though the file in my Skydrive folder says "available offline". 

Is there any way to tell Word 2013 to open and save the local file *only* and tell Microsoft Office Upload Center to chill out and take a break?  Basically, I want the Windows 8.1 SkyDrive/OneDrive process to do the uploading to the cloud when it gets around to it rather than MOUC's immediate upload.

If it helps, I get and install my version of Word 2013 (and the rest of Office) via my Office 365 subscription.

Thanks,

-Ben 

Service status failed

Microsoft 2007 Diagnostics tells me the Service Status in Components failed. What can I do about this?

<Service Status="Failed" Name="cmdagent"/>

I use Vista SP2 from Office Home and Student

It may or may not be associated with the following:

When I try to open a document with a double click it says it can't find it, but I can open it within Word.

Ic an't get a print dialogue box even though the prineter is said to be connected and ready and the standalone photocopying by the printer works (HP Photosmart 5520).

Issue with Win 8 vs Office 365 after Win update

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 06:19 AM PDT

Windows 8 installed a "Critical Update"yesterday. Now none of my Office 365 programs are woking. They don't open at all, so noe erros message even appear. I restored my sstem to before this critical update and it was working fine. The restored agian to a resotre point I'd created before starting this process (i.e. AFTER the update) and the problem persists.

Multi-level list style for bullets

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 05:20 AM PDT

The rule for stable multi-level list styles has always been to assign a paragraph style to each level of the list, a rule that I have always followed when developing templates. However, I'm wondering if it really is still necessary. Here is the scenario that prompted this train of heretical thinking.

I need to create a template that has 4 numbered heading levels where each level of text is indented so that the number aligns with the start of the text of the previous level. So far nice and simple. Here is where it gets awkward. After each level I need to be able to insert a bulleted list. The bulleted list may, in turn, have up to 3 levels as pictured below in a rough example I knocked up.

So my question is:

Do I really need to create List Bullet 6 - List Bullet 12 or could I get away with creating 4 list styles with just one paragraph style attached at level 1 and then have the list style apply the further levels? Or would this, as I suspect, lead to instability?

Thanks

Office 2013 doesn't work

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 03:07 AM PDT

Hi,

suddenly my Office 2013 had stopped working without any reason. Now when I try to open one of its programs, I see this message: "A problem is happened. It was not possible to start the program. Please try again". It happens not only with Word, but with any Office program.

I tried many times but it just doesn't work.

What do I have to do?

Copy and paste HELP

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:30 AM PDT

I can't copy one document into another exactly from the source document: it automatically switches Times to Calibri and I cant change it without messing up the different font sizes I did, which is crucial for my 63-page document (the file needs to be put together with other files to form one file). I have tried everything I could find online on how to copy without changing format (which I'm really not sure what that means).

The file (A) that I need to copy is in "normal", Times 12pt with MANY parts of it in 10pt. The new file (B) is in "no spacing", Times 12pt. Both files with 1.5 spacing. When I paste, it changes it automatically to Calibri 11pt and if I try "no formatting", even though the boldfaced and italicised words are kept, my 10pt parts change to 12pt and this is not good. So I need to copy A exactly as is into B and I cannot do it and it is really upsetting me. PLEASE HELP!!!

Can I "set back" (recreate) a word document that is only saved on a USB to a particular date and time?

Posted: 23 Mar 2014 01:25 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm probably a lost case, but I need to ask anyways. Three days ago I renamed a manuscript file that I was working on, and only saved it on my desktop. The old version became a kind of "trash document" where I left all the stuff that I could not use. After this, my work computer had to be completely reinstalled, and everything got deleted beyond repair (IT experts have looked into that). However, I still have the "trash document" that I saved on a USB.

My question is, is there ANY way to ask this "trash document" to go back to how it was three days ago? I only have it on my stick and it can unfortunately not be linked to the word program on the computer anymore. It only exists on the USB.

I think I know the answer - however, as I'm expected to defend my thesis soon and this was part of my thesis work, this is of course a nightmare scenario for me. I appreciate all answers.

Thanks,

Linda

PS- Yes, I KNOW about backing up. There are several small things that all added up to this, and it's also happening in the midst of a very stressful life situation in general, which is why this happened.

Can't find Microsoft Office programs in Windows Apps

Posted: 22 Mar 2014 10:48 PM PDT

So I bought Word, power point, one note and excel.

A few months after that, I started getting problems with my computer (caused by another product) and I was forced to reset my entire laptop. After I reset it, I saw I could still open my word and powerpoint documents without a problem. They worked fine and still do but for some reason they don't appear as apps when I search for them using Windows 8, except for Onenote. 

How can I fix this?

Word 2010 - Changing Settings

Posted: 22 Mar 2014 04:47 PM PDT

I must have unknowingly changed something in the settings, all of a sudden when I create documents in Word 2010, in addition to the document printing, another page prints out w/Filename, directory, template, title, subject, author, keywords, comments, creation date, change number, last saved on, last saved by, total editing time, last printed on, as of last complete printing, etc.

I do NOT need and more so WANT this printing out, especially using up my ink, expensive labels, for home use, etc. How do I change the settings to STOP this from printing?

Office 2007 Maintenance Wizard

Posted: 29 Jun 2006 06:13 AM PDT

Hi Martin,

MS Office 2007 has a different installation method and tool set for deployment than prior versions.

The Office Network Installation Point (O-NIP) replaced the Office Admin Point. The Office Admin Point was a special extraction
structure created by the Setup /A switch, but it worked only with a volume license/eneterprise key for Office.

At least through beta 2, anyone can create and use an O-NIP, as it's basically the CD image of the Office 2007 product. If you have
the Office 2007 beta 2 software on CD, just copy the CD to a new folder on your drive/server. If you have multiple Office 2007
products (i.e. Office Professional, OneNote, Visio, Project) rather than having a separate Office Admin Point for each product, you
can copy all of the CDs into one O-NIP.

If you downloaded the compressed 2007 MS Office system Professional Edition (.exe) file you can extract the CD image from it to
create an O-NIP using these steps.

1. Locate your 2007 Office Professional Beta 2
download file and note the folder/path location.


2. Create a new folder on your PC or server and note that
folder/path location. This will be your Office 2007
Network Installation Point (O-NIP)


3. Use Start=>Run , and on a single line type in
the following (using the path & file names from Step 1 & 2)


"drive:\Step1PathOfDownload\downloadfilename.e xe" /extract:"Step2path"


example: (assuming you saved to a 'downloads' folder and created a new folder named Off2007ProB2NIP) the Start=>Run line would look
like this


"c:\downloads\OPPLUS-EN.EXE" /extract:"E:\Off2007ProB2NIP"


If the extraction is successful (you'll get a dialog box telling you it was after a few minutes)

4. In your new ONIP create a new, empty folder for your customization files. Name it what ever you like, for example
\OfficeTweaks

5. Once you have your O-NIP run the Office 2007 Setup.exe file from Start=>Run using the full path to it on your O-NIP and adding
the /Admin switch to create your customization files.

Example:
"E:\Off2007ProB2NIP\Setup.exe" /Admin

This starts the Office Customization Tool (OCT)that is built into the Office 2007 setup.exe program. You no longer install
separately and use the Office Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard.

Once you're in the 2007-OCT you create .MSP (MS Installer Patch) files to hold your customizations and store them in the
customization folder you created in step 4.

To deploy Office 2007 product(s) you can copy a specific set of customizations to the \Update folder of your O-NIP (already part of
the initial setup) and then Run Office Setup.exe (don't install directly from the .MSI files) and any .MSP in the \Updates folder is
automatically included in the setup steps.

For more details and methods you can use the Office 2007 Resource Kit (beta) at http://officebeta.iponet.net/ork/2007 (note that to
access the site you would need to have an installed MS Office 2007 product or the Active X control installed that you can get from
the link below).

In your scenario, keep in mind that not providing Access as an installed feature from a Professional Edition Office package does not
convert it to a 'standard edition' copy/license. Once MS Office 2007 is released you may want to review the editions you choose to
license for different needs.

Problem with office 2007 installation

Posted: 28 Jun 2006 12:19 PM PDT

Ignore did nothing......

The installation would freeze and do nothing (I let it sit for over 40
minutes)

I eventually canceled the installation (and restore failed).

The only way I was able to correct this was to completely uninstall office
2003 and then reinstall office 2007.

can use the .msi file in there to deploy office via GPO? If I do create a

a network wide deployment method (IE: cna I use Group Policy to deploy a

How can I install office shortcut bar from an old version

Posted: 24 Jun 2006 07:21 PM PDT

Sorry I missed one thing you said. The shortcut bar should definitely be
found under Office Tools during the Office 2000 installation. It is listed
alphabetically when you expand Office Tools as "Microsoft Office Shortcut
Bar", just before "Microsoft Photo Editor".

Looks like the M1689 is a highly integrated design, combining the north
and south bridges in a single chip. Near as I can tell, ASUS adds only
a Realtek 8201CL 10/100 ethernet chip (aside from CPU and RAM, of
course), and maybe a video accelerator chip -- some Nvidia thing?

The chip's new enough that I have no data for it on my Linux SATA page
(http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html), but other pages
sound a little discouraging. Of course, sound (Realtek chip?) and
video drivers will also be a concern.

Help: trying to install debian on an old gateway laptop

That certainly is very ODD - it could either be some messed up Boot

While trying to Boot from DVD drive - Do you happen to have;

** a floppy Disk inserted into the floppy Drive ?
(Remove it)

** USB device plugged in ?
(Remove it)
 
 

sorry - i don't know what Jigdo is...
Use MD5Summer or similar -- you'll need to obtain the CORRECT (iso.md5)
file for the distribution you're using....Run that against the ISO
image you originally D/l...it's worth a shot. However, realize the XP
CD is NOT booting as well :-(, so likley not a bad ISO issue. Again,
for whatever ODD reason, you could try a ReBurn of ISO, at slower Burn
speed. Those older DVDROM drives can be real fickle -- I know, I have
an old Toshiba DVD-ROM III from 1998
 

Newbie needs help with setting computer name

Posted: 18 Jan 2006 09:40 AM PST

On 18 Jan 2006, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.setup, in article
<googlegroups.com>, jeanluc wrote:
 

Are the addresses that the two computers get "public" (something in the
70.160.0.0 - 70.191.255.255 range as you appear to be using Cox), or
are they in the RFC1918 range (such as 192.168.x.y)?
 

You'd have to get the DHCP router to hand out fixed addresses (based
on the MAC address), or have it act as a name server.
 

Probably. What does '/bin/hostname' tell you?

[compton ~]$ /bin/hostname
compton.phx.az.us
[compton ~]$
 

[compton ~]$ whatis dig dnsquery host nslookup
dig (1) - send domain name query packets to name servers
dnsquery (1) - query domain name servers using resolver
host (1) - look up host names using domain server
nslookup (8) - query Internet name servers interactively
[compton ~]$

Notice that these tools all query a name server - possibly that of your
router, cable modem, or ISP - look at the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
to find which. Your problem is much the same as you asking to talk to
'jean' or even 'jeanluc'. jean WHO? There are hundreds of thousands
of people named 'jean', just as there are probably thousands of computers
named 'linux'.
 

A lot depends on how you are setting up the network. Unruh suggests
setting the router to provide static addresses, and putting hostnames
in the host files (/etc/hosts on Linux, on XP, it is PROBABLY in
C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\HOSTS (not HOSTS.SAM). In both cases,
you want the IP address, followed by the FULL name and optionally the
short name (192.168.1.1 jeanluc.picard jeanluc). Your DHCP server may
be defining the name (as opposed to the system defining it). In SuSE,
the name is set from the /etc/rc.conf file. You _may_ be able to set
the DHCP server to act as a DNS server.

I can only tell that it is 'CW65 series' [and on Intel chip, but not sure]

I chcecked that kbd-config is ok. Keyboard hangs up when i use 2.6

So i'm now searching linux with eagle-usb packet and 2.4 kernel.
Anyone knows any? :)

configuring DHCP and NFS - need an opinion

dhclient (as example) will permanently retry to obtain a lease after
configurable retry time.
 

No need; use ifplugd (again as example) to check for link presence; it in
turn starts dhclient that tries to obtain address; and dhclient may
optionally start a user-defined script after it obtained a lease. It is
useful for services that do not retry (like ntpd - I use it to restart
because otherwise it fails to resolve server names and drops them).
 

Exactly.

FC4: CD Not Found - The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 08:36 AM PST

I had missed the .dicsinfo file in the CDROM which tells about the
Fedora install directories(thanks to rodrigo from the anaconda dev list
for this info). Thanks Nico your approach worked on reducing no of
compare factors, and last i needed a CD :)

For more details for this look at cdinstall.c from the anaconda source
tree, it tells exactly what all it does when it is doing a CD install.

usb drives no longer mount after usb ext3 mount

Posted: 15 Jan 2006 11:27 PM PST

An update:

I found that the linux ext3 disk in ths usb enclosure had come loose.
That is what caused at least some of the problems. After reseating
the drive, it auto-mounted and I got more stuff off.

But I'm still having trouble with regular vfat drives mounting
at all. The system hangs when logged in a root as well
as a normal user.

It did work once under root. It creates fstab entries as
/dev/usbdisk and mounts the device, not via a label,
so I don't think labels are the problem.

Help: Fiefox wont resume ftp downloading (partial) 2.6 GB file

I believe that you have an issue calculating the offset, but it may not
be in in the client. Just because the server can deliver a file > 2GB
doesn't mean it knows how to do the math correctly to set the offset to
continue. 

See the "-c" option of wget, it describes resuming a download started
with another client. I don't know if wget is using 64bit access, I
believe it is because I downloaded a DVD, but didn't resume the D/L.

LVM volume groups and booting

news:heiming.de... 

This is a common approach: I dislike it because I find the "rm -rf /"
accident to be a far more common way to mess up a system than hardware
failures.

Instead I find it very helpful to do something like this:

[ Build partitions on second disk with necessary partition names changed
for mirrored disk. ]

mount /dev/[spare-root-partition] /mnt/secondroot
rsync -aHx -delete / /mnt/secondroot
remount -o ro /mnt/secondroot

[ Repeat as necessary for other partitions. ]
[ Set up a cron job to do the mirroring nightly during idle time. ]
[ Set up a second cron job for dumping live databases to local files
first, so those get copied correctly too. ]

That leaves your old filesystem copied, read-only, in an immediately
accessible location for recovering lost files. You may lose a day's recent
updates, but you have a copy of the far more likely lost files from
yesterday.

Mandrake 8.2 Install Problem - Siig

Second the motion: A little googling on "siig CN2487 linux" turned up
http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2004-March/009721.html ,
stating that as of _then_, March 2004, the proper driver support for
the underlying chipset had finally been merged into 2.6.x kernels
(specifically, 2.6.3). So, definitely Mandrakelinux 8.2 has _way_ too
old an installation kernel.
