Microsoft works 4.0 won't print from my HP deskjet 895cse

Posted: 01 Jan 2009 02:37 PM PST

I am using Windows XP version 5.1.

Print Preview showa correctly.

It seems to be all MS works programs.

It does not print in grayscale either. It goes through the motions, but the
page come out blank. (This also happens in notepad & wordpad, but it does
print in paint, from the Internet and pictures. It used to print in MS works,
but not now.))

Missing Stock Watermarks

Posted: 01 Jan 2009 08:36 AM PST

Additionally, 9.0 works uses Format to add a water mark (picture - not
text), where earlier word uses Insert to add a text water mark. (I may have
the Format and Insert incorrectly associated with the programs). The drop
down menues are very similiar but yet different where 9.0 does not provide
for printable water marks as near as I can tell.

database formula not working

Posted: 25 Dec 2008 12:03 PM PST

This formula retains 1 if Date_Used falls between 01-Jan-2009 and 31-Jan-2009

else returns a 0 (zero) value.

=AND(Date_Used>='01/01/2009',Date_Used<='31/01/2009')

Note:

The dates are enclosed in apostrophes and not double quotes. Quotes are handled as

strings and will have no similarity to the date values that they are meant to represent.

For further advice see:

In addition, the use of VALUE as shown will not give the required results.

Birthdate does not show up properly on labels

Posted: 14 Dec 2008 07:34 PM PST

Thanks Eric;
I was about to do what you told me, but then I thought maybe this is one of
those really stupid Microsoft things....all I did was change the field format
of the Birthdate to a slightly different format (for example from 'April' to
'4/1/1996')
Initially, this dtabase was created in Works 7, so I think there was a field
translation error- so as soon as I tweaked the field, it re translated in the
new version (9) and took it out of some weird default state.

What you are talking about is the Windows File Association which

You can also open an application and tell it to open a file and the file
association doesn't matter,

DOC files are Word format (could be any version). DOCX are Word 2007
format. You need that version of Word installed OR the 2007 converter
that I mentioned in a previous reply in order to open DOCX files..

The WPS files are in Works word processor format.

Once you install Office 2007, you can set Word to take over all DOC and
DOCX files. It may do that automatically on install.

You receive an error message when you are working in Works 8.5 or earlier
versions of Works: "Microsoft Works 8 has stopped working" or "Out of
Memory"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933828/


You could also download and install one of the free PDF writer programs.

I use Free CutePDF Writer. There are other free PDF writers, PrimoPDF as an
example, Google will turn up more.

I find it a great tool and have it selected as my default printer.

It is amazing how much paper I have saved using CutePDF Writer.

I do not know about you, but I used to print something only to discover the
printed document is not exactly as I thought it would print, readjust and
print again. Used up a lot of paper.

Now when I print something it is saved as a PDF document, which I open and
if it looks correct, I then print from there to the HP printer to put it on
paper.

Another feature of using CutePDF Writer is if document is sent over the
internet the document displays exactly as sent.


I suggest you install CutePDF Writer
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

It installs as a Printer (This enables virtually any Windows applications
(must be able to print) to create professional quality PDF documents).

At http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp you will see two items
to download, Free Converter (GPLGS8.15; 5.01 MB) and Free Download (Ver.
2.7; 1.54 MB).

Install is smoother if you install converter first.


Make CutePDF Writer as your Default Printer, this should solve out of memory
error.

works9.msi

Posted: 22 Nov 2008 11:06 AM PST

Solution for HP Pavilion !

works9.msi is located on the first of three recovery disks the users are
asked to create.

Path on recovery disk 1of 3 is:
hp/apps/APP28652/src/MSWorks/en/msworks/Works9.msi

However, Microsoft patch KB943290_en-US.EXE won't recognize the file on the
recovery disk as "legit". I copied the entire "msworks" directory from the
CD onto my C: drive, pointed the patch to the copy of Works9.msi now on my C:
drive, and the patch worked. Upgrading to Office Standard 2007 went
smoothly. Try copying only Works9.msi to your C: drive, then run the patch.
That might work as well.

When you create a new custom enterprise task or project field and then open
an existing project, you need to press the F9 key to recalculate the
project. Your action in removing a task from the critical path caused a
recalculation, which then forced the new field's formula to recalculate as
well. Open each of your projects and press the F9 key and then republish
your project. Hope this helps.

Width of Weeks on Gantt Chart

You need to go fiddle with File Menu/Page Setup. It does not always behave
rationally so you might try changing things around and see what happens.
There is also a timescale setting in FileMenu/Print. When you get it close
to what you want it is best to stop while you are ahead!

Keeping your Project leveled as you update it

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 11:29 PM PDT

Hi Scott,

Once again instea of describing what happens you say the thing goes crazy.
That makes it a bit difficult to explain because it is not crazy at all, it
just shows wht you entered.
When you put in actual work, Project will not change that. Actual is
supposed to reflect the reality as it happened, and Project is designed to
calculate plans, not mo modify the reality as it happens.

Re-writing history is best left to politicians :-))

And having one task with multiple resoruces is to me not teh best way to use
project. Best is to describe each task separately; ideal is tio have only
one resource per task.

Critical Paths in Gantt chart

Posted: 13 Apr 2005 08:02 PM PDT

Hi Babu,

Have a look at this site: http://www.mvps.org/project/networkanalysis.htm

When you've followed it through, have a look at the final network diagram
which shows the ciritical path. If, however, the Machine task, which has a
duration of 3 and a slack of 8, had a duration of 11, it would have no slack
and thus also be critical. Thus the critical path would go through the
Machine task as well.

For another example, if we were to add a project management task which
lasted the whole project's duration, it would also be critical.

We would now have 3 critical paths :)

Hop this helps,

I understand your intent, but I think you are forgetting that software is
perishable. Microsoft has something like a five year support lifecycle for
Project. That means that Proj2003 has only about three years left. In
addition they seem to be releasing new versions every 2 - 3 years. Since it
has been two years since Proj2003 was released, the clock is certainly
ticking... If they are planning to move to Project Pro sometime soon then it
is a good idea, but if they are thinking about a year or two from now then
they may be better off waiting and upgrading when and if project200x comes
out.

How do I add a custom column to a resource report?

Posted: 12 Apr 2005 07:13 AM PDT

Hi Rich,

To add to JulieD's suggestion, if you added the [Text1] column to a task
view, depending upon which resource report you are printing, the data may
still not appear. There are three different sets of custom fields, one for
tasks, one for assignments, and one for resources. So if you added the
data to the task [Text1] field and print a report that is based upon the
resource table, even if you include the [Text1] field, you will not see your
data as you are adding the [Text1] field from the resource side.

Take a look at FAQ #37 at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

for some additional information and a piece of VBA code to transfer data
from a text field to an assignment field.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

"Bill gates" <Bill microsoft.com> wrote:
 

Bill,
Let me expand on Gerard's comment. When I think of Critical Path I don't
think just in terms of THE main Critical Path. It is very likely
(probably most likely) that in any given project, multiple logic paths
lead to some end milestone. Each path may be from a particular
functional organization's tasks necessary to complete the project. One
organization's activities may or may not interact with other
organizations. Even though there may be only one (but possibly more for
the reason Gerard noted) primary Critical Path, there is also a
secondary, a tertiary, etc. path. For good project management it isn't
always sufficient to just look at the worst case scenario but to also
look at the "next up" problems. It's kinda like a Prateo (sorry if I got
the spelling wrong) analysis where you not only look for the immediate
issues but also get a "heads up" look at the next group of problems that
are ready to appear.

One way to look at more than just the top layer of issues is to set the
Critical Path threshold to a value greater than "0"
(Tools/Options/Calculation tab). Then do a sort to look first at Start
Date and next at Total Slack.

There is also an option for having Project calculate multiple Critical
Paths. It is located at: Tools/Options/Calculation tab.

Maybe this is more than you wanted to know but hope this helps.

iPad Templates from OSX Word

Hi all,

I have noticed that my templates from Word -- created on a Mac -- are somewhat bizarre when using on an ipad. Footers are appearing in the middle of a document instead of in the footer when you open it on an ipad or send it as an attachment. Anyone experience this or have a work around?

Why Outline format works in Outlook but not Word

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:44 PM PDT

I have posted this question about Outline formatting in Word and gotten links that pretend to address the issue; but don't. Oh, they provide lots of complicated workarounds but they don't address the issue: why, when you click the Outline icon in Word you enter a world of chaos, where nothing works as it should.

I know how Outline should work because when I am in Outlook, and click the same Outline Icon, I experience exactly what is expected.  The tab key indents; in as well as out, just as expected, the numbering system works just as expected and everything moves smoothly and without a hitch. 

But when I try to do the same thing in Word I end up with a mess of confusing issues; and nothing seems to work as expected!

So why does Outline in MS Outlook work perfectly while Outline in MS Word not work at all; unless you jump through a whole lot of hoops that you learn about from a long article; with an interesting horn players vs director analogy?

Dear, Microsoft software writers can you please, give us easy accessibility to your product? Why is there not a delete button or link to be made simple for unwanted pages in and document? One suggestion could be under your page layout tab; click it then scroll to page break, select  or push delete extra pages. 

I am just wondering it has been hard especially when I am in a hurry to create or send a document. Love your products just little concerned with the length of time and steps it takes just delete unwanted pages. SMH! :/

BUG or wanted feature in the citation/references updatin in Word (2013 and before)

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:07 PM PDT

I'm having some trouble with the citation feature in word and this is happening to a lot of other people in many different word versions so I'm starting to think that it's a wanted feature. The image is much more clear than me explaining so here it is:

As you can see I'm not using in the text the citation [9] and word knows it since in the source manager is not marked as used but when I update the reference field the unused references appear at the end even when are not used. When I remove them from the current list in the manager the problem disappears. Is it the way word handle references or is it a bug unsolved since at least word 2007? Because I my view this way of working it's rather unlogical. 

Word 2013 Envelopes and Labels - Freezes

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:06 PM PDT

In Word 2013-Envelopes and Labels- when I try to type a recipient's address, the typing freezes and lags badly- up to 20 or 30 seconds depending on how much I type in at once. I only have the one Word doc open, and very few windows open on the browser. Hardware should be fine- this is the only time something like this happens.

Thanks

Can I turn off the sound that plays whenever I hit "replace all" in Word 2010?

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:03 PM PDT

So, I've already unchecked the "provide feedback with sound" box in the Word Options: Advanced menu. But whenever I click "replace all," my computer still plays the "Windows Exclamation" chime with the notification box that pops up to say how many replacements it made. Is there any way to turn that off?

I assume that it's not a good idea just the make the exclamation sound silent for Windows in general. It's probably important in some circumstances? Or is it?  

Word 2013 Hangs on Find/Replace and Review Pane

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 11:46 AM PDT

After the March Office update was pushed out, Word 2013 hangs when attempting to open the Reviewing Pane, and when doing a Find/Replace (Ctl-H).

It works properly in Safe mode, but when I check for Add-ins, there are no Active add-ins running (i.e., all add-ins are in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" section of File>Options>Add-ins ).

Any suggestions for how to fix or work-around this?

Need a macro to find "present" letters of alphabet and report "missing" letters of the alphabet

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:57 AM PDT

Back when I was using Word 2003, someone was kind enough to write a macro for me that checked a Word document to verify which letters of the alphabet were NOT included in the document. The macro  is below. I need another macro that will report to me the opposite--which letters of the alphabet ARE present rather than which ones are missing. if anyone can help, I would be so very grateful. I have no idea where to begin, but figured this macro could be modified to make the opposite happen.

Also, if there's a way to select text in a larger document so that the macro reviews only selected text, that would be unbelievably helpful in terms of saving me time. Thanks so much in advance for any help.

Sub AtoZ()

'

' AtoZ Macro

' Checks for the presence of all letters of alphabet and reports missing ones.

'

Dim missing As String, i As Integer

missing = ""

For i = 1 To 27

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting

With Selection.Find

    If Not .Execute(FindText:=Chr(64 + i), MatchCase:=False, Wrap:=wdFindContinue, Forward:=True) = True Then

        missing = missing & Chr(64 + i) & ","

    End If

End With

Next i

If Len(missing) > 1 Then

    missing = "The following letters are not included in the text: " & Left(missing, Len(missing) - 2) & "."

Else

    missing = "All of the letters of the alphabet are included in the text."

End If

MsgBox missing

End Sub

Microsoft Word Equation -- View Unaltered (Raw) Format

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hello:

I've written a couple of complex equations in Microsoft Word 2013.  However, I'd like to see the UNALTERED, or raw, format that Word has used for the AutoCorrect.  Is it possible to see the equations in their raw formats?

EXA:

If in Word, I would see something similar to Area = \pi * r^2

Thank you.

Templates

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 10:01 AM PDT

Hello, I am creating a template for our engineering team to use. Creating the template is easy enough, but I have a few questions that I hope you can advise me on. After creating a template does all the custom numbered headings, custom styles, custom tables save with that template? Is this the best way to get the consistency for our proposals is by using a template? If this is the best way would I simple post the Template on our server for our engineers to use?

How/where would you save a custom table that could be used for any document? When I save it there are many options that I don't understand, what gallery, category, option etc.

Thank you for your assistance...

Word for iPad Save As PDF

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 08:42 AM PDT

As far as I can tell, there is no way to save a word document (accessed via onedrive) as a PDF from my iPad. I have looked into third party programs to convert onedrive word documents to PDFs, but they mess up our header.

It is important for us to be able to work on word documents on the go, and email out a pdf of the document once complete. When will we be able to save as a PDF?

Thanks, everything else is great so far!

Can this Macro be Improve

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 03:57 AM PDT

Hi,

Please can you have a look at the Macro below for Word 2010.

Can this be done using Ranges to make it quicker and better?

What it does is it selects the only Table I have in the Document,

Then goes to the last Row, last Column.

Then using Tab to add a new Row at the bottom.

Then it Adds Default Text to the required Columns,

Then as it Adds each Text item it formats it with the following:

Spacing book subtitles to equal a fixed number of lines

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 02:29 AM PDT

I am laying out the inside pages of a book in body text of 11/13 points (which is 13 point line spacing of course) and I therefore want the subheadings to take up exactly 26 points, which is two lines, so that the number of lines on facing pages is always the same.  When I modify the "Heading 3" style, it informs me that the heading has "6 points before and 0 points after," but when I try to adjust those spaces, it will only accept multiples of 6 points. So, I set the line spacing at EXACTLY 22 points, and this does make the heading take up about two lines of space. But the figures do not make sense. Is there any way to adjust the space before and after a title accurately?

Refering to the same endnote more than once

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 01:11 AM PDT

Hi,

I used the cross reference feature to insert a refernce to an existing endnote ( Insert>Reference>Cross-Reference). However, when I click it, it takes me to the first reference within the document and not to the bottom of the document where the actual list of endnotes is. Is there a way to make the click take me to the actual endnote in the list of endnotes?

Thanks a lot,

I.

automatic highlighting without wanting it in WORD 2013

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:31 AM PDT

Hi everyone, please help before I need blood pressure tablets!

In any word document (2013 version), old or new document, the whole text will automatically highlight in a grey colour without us doing anything. It cant be un-highlighted either and will not allow us to work on the document as any attempt to do so results in either freezing of all keys or further randon highlighting or unhighlighting wherever the cursor goes.

Tve looked at all sorts of forums for answers without success. The microsoft troubleshooting pages didn't help.

MANY THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE

Support for custom fonts in Word for iPad

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:15 AM PDT

We use a custom font in our company which is not available on the iPad by default. We have therefore installed it using a configuration profile and can use it now in Apple's Pages app. This is possible since iOS 7 (more information here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW43).

There is also an app on the App Store called "AnyFont" which lets you install new fonts directly from the device, and the installed font shows up perfectly in Apple's Pages but it does not appear in Word for iPad. We desperately need that font for our work, so please add support for custom installed fonts soon! Are there any plans to do so or am I missing something?

Vertical line / vertical dash formatting mark in MS Word; what does it mean? How to get rid of them?

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 09:32 PM PDT

My MS word document is full of sentences that begin with a vertical line formatting mark. I have scoured the internet and cannot figure out what this mark is supposed to mean. I know that a dot is a space, an arrow is a tab, etc., but I have found no mention of this mark. It does disappear/reappear when I hit the formatting marks button, however.

Whatever it is, I believe it is screwing up the formatting for this document when I try to export it to another program, so I need to remove them. Doing so manually would take hours. Can ayone explain what the marks are and how to remove them in mass? Of course I could just paste all the text into notepad and back into Word, but that would remove all my italics as well, and I don't want that. 

Here is an image of the issue. Note that all but the first two lines have the mark; it is the very first thing on most of the lines.

Office 2013 cannot locate safe mode files

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 07:41 PM PDT

We've had issues with add-ons causing our Office 2013 products to crash upon opening.  The solution has always been to start Word or Excel in safe mode and disable the add-ons.

This time I tried to do that and got an error message that says "Sorry we couldn't find your file.  Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted? (C:\Users\Erin\safe.doc)"

I uninstalled the entire program and reinstalled it, and am still getting the same error.  I don't think we moved or deleted any program files recently - what could have happened?  We have had virus problems before and the fact that the error message has a conjunction is throwing me off.  Any advice is appreciated.

Includetext field changing formats

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 07:25 PM PDT

Hi Team,

This may seem the same as other posts, but I feel it is slightly different as I have tried a myriad of things. Including styles, anchoring text boxes etc.

Basically, I am using the Includetext field, but when I update the donor document and refresh the recipient document the heading numbers change.

The donor document has text boxes (which I think I've anchored to the paragraph), different style headings to the recipient document and bullet points.

When I delete a heading, including the text box, in the donor document and refresh the recipient document the the numbering below the deletion changes (in the recipient document).

Second level headings are removed and added. Bullet points are changing to level 3 headings. But it all below the heading and text box I removed.

I have been racking my brains and desperately trying a number of things and finally thought I should ask the experts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Font change for document DD9D29 basic manual template

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 05:12 PM PDT

Caps or upper case letters appeared when I started to input into this template. So all words are in caps with a bigger cap at the start of a sentence.

Then halfway through, sentence structure option appeared ie caps at beg of sentence and lower case after the cap.

So now I have a document ie manual with two types of font.

I have tried changing the font but nothing works. 

Any suggestions to resolve this problem??

Thanks

Creating a data chart APA style (flipped) in Word 2010

I have a data sheet that cannot be landscape, needs to be top to bottom. How do you flip a data sheet in Word?

something went wrong

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 04:13 PM PDT

Something went wrong. We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again.

If it won't start, try repairing Office from 'Programs and Features' in the Control Panel.

I tried all it said, and none of my Office 365 programs will work. It was working fine a week ago and I cant find anything in the Control Panel to fix it
