Cost per mo

Posted: 15 May 2005 11:29 PM PDT

A basic point - the budget of yor project is not the same thing as what you
pay your resources per unit of time. IT is what you pay your resources to
do the actual work that is driectly involved in the project. If you have
Joe who gets $2500 per month and he works on something in your project for 1
hour, doing something else the rest of the month, his cost to your project
really is only ~$16, not his full salary. Let whoever he was doing the
other stuff for pay him for that work out of their budget, not yours <grin>.
And as Rod already said, you should use what is known as a "burdened labour
cost" with adjustments for benefits, hiring and training costs, office space
and utilities, etc, instead of base salary so you are accurately reflecting
the true costs to your firm of doing that project.

Costs in Project reflect the actual costs of doing that project, not the
overall costs of doing business. Unless your resources are all external
contractors, you'd have to pay that resource even if you didn't do the
project at all. What counts from a project costing, roi, etc perspective is
what it costs you to do that work in contrast to all the other things you
could be doing. Even if your costs of doing business don't increase when
you do the project, there still is an opportunity cost to be factored in
based on the fact that you're committing resources here and so can't commit
them there.

MS Project Preferences

Posted: 15 May 2005 08:39 AM PDT

Some settings are "above the line" and are general settings that are
remembered from project to project. Others are "below the line," project
specific settings that are saved as part of the project file. The status of
the Project Summary Task is one of the latter. If you tuen it on and then
save your project it will be on when you reopen it.

automating outline levels

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:09 PM PDT

I'm not certain I understand, but maybe if you (in MSProject) say "group by
Field1 then by Field2 then by Field3", that would place each imported task
under three levels of headers (which are similar to summaries). See command
Project/CustomizeGroups.

Does this do what you want?

calculate % complete based on other fields

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:05 PM PDT

Sounds like your structure might be based on time sequencing rather than
process sequencing. By that I wonder if your summary tasks are time units
such as "Work for June" and the subtasks all the tasks taking place during
that month? Or perhaps the summary is "Work for the Engineering Group" with
all the tasks done by resources from those departments listed as subtasks
under it. If either is the case, you might want to reconsider your WBS
because at least in my experience such structures always leads to headaches
in the end. Your issue with progress recording for "odd and even" tasks
will be just the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. I'd strongly suggest you
consider putting the tasks relating to structural work under a summary
"Build Structure" while those related to outfitting be put under an "Outfit
Structure" summary, perhaps even with sub-summaries such as "Install
Piping", "Install HVAC", "Install Wiring", etc and the various activities
required to install those key deliverables listed as subtasks under their
appropriate areas. The sequencing of tasks is most correctly driven be the
predecessor/successor links and is not dependent on their relative positions
in the task listing. There's nothing that says task 100 can't come before
task 50 in time or for that matter produce a deliverable that task 50 needs
in order to start, thus making 100 both a predecessor and an antecendent of
50.

widow/orphan control

Posted: 13 May 2005 12:30 PM PDT

Why would you want to???? If you follow a conventional business or academic
document style and double space between paragraphs, those single words or
phrases you can get appearing to hang in the top or bottom margins when a
page break hits just after the first line of a new paragraph or just before
the last couple of words in the last paragraph at the bottom of a page are
incredibly ugly looking and amateurish. Having widow/orphan control turned
on instructs Word to fix it if they're about to occur. Frankly I can't
imagine any document where you'd actually want to see widows and orphans
forming.

Gérard Thanks for quick response. However this does not seem to work either.

the structure I am after is like this.

A
B
C
C
C
B
C
C
C

where the B's are subtasks of A and the C's are sub tasks of the B's
to acheive this I have set as suggested the outline levels

1
2
3
3
3

The problem is that some tasks at the level 3 get jumbled up into the
different level 2's. I have checked the source table and they are stored in
the correct sequence there and if read sequentually or through the default
index they should be read in correctly.

Do I need to change my Outline level somehow or some how force MS Project to
use the default table index ?

Thanks

Milestones add time to projects?

Posted: 12 May 2005 08:13 PM PDT

The best solution is to completely remove the fixed-date constraint from
your milestone and link it into the chain of subtasks as the last task in
the chain. The duration of a summary is from the start of the earliest task
to the finish of the latest task, If I have a summary containing only two
subtasks, both of them milestones of zero duration, and use a MSO or MFO
contraint to fix the subtasks to dates 2 weeks apart, the summary will show
a duration of 2 weeks. Milestones are NOT dates per se - they are
signifigant EVENTS (such as "Approval Received" or "Design Finished") that
occur during the project. They may, and usually do, have deadlines or dates
where they are supposed to hit but that doesn't mean they are "fixed dates."
A "fixed date " means it WILL happen on that date no matter what else is
going on or whether the events leading up to it happen on time or not. That
approval, for example, will come whenever it comes, be it early, on-time, or
late. What your plan should be showing is where the milestone is likely to
happen as determined by the work leading up to it, with a deadline
indicating where it is supposed to happen if you're meeting your objectives
so you can compare the two and determine if your plan is a good one or if
you have to go back to the drawing board and reschedule to better meet the
required performance.

Office 365 Small Business Premium Word 2013 spell checker doesn't check spelling or grammar

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:24 PM PDT

The spell checker in both Word 2013 and Outlook 2013 simply doesn't work in my installation. The option is checked to spell check and there are dictionaries that are apparently available as defaults. No words are flagged as misspelled, and the grammar checker seemed to enjoy reading "He don't go nowhere." So emails are going out without spell check, and Word documents aren't checking anything either. PowerPoint didn't flag any nonsense words either.
I've seen some posts here about spell check problems, and I've checked all of the potential solutions that might apply to my situation. There was something about a proofing tools add-in, but when I tried to follow the instructions applicable to Windows 7, only a "repair" tool appeared to be available from the Programs part of Control Panel, and that spooked me away from continuing. I don't want to run a giant repair against my Office installation if there's another option.


Can't adjust tabs in MS Starter 2010

Error codes and problems with Microsoft Office 2013

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:03 PM PDT

Using Microsoft office 2013 on an x86 windows 8 machine, I've recently started getting some errors and having problems.

Microsoft Word 2013 fails to open. When I try to open it via the .exe I was previously presented with the error message; "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (40)" and trying to open a word file using Word 2013 returns the error message; "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (2)".

After uninstalling Microsoft Office 2010(which was not being used) I now receive the same error message when trying to open a file, but trying to open Word 2013 via its executable returns the message: "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result. Would you like to repair now?".

Choosing to repair does nothing.

The quick repair option in Control Panel also does nothing and the online repair returns the error code: 30029-4

Other than that, Excel will run in neither normal nor safe mode, with or without admin privileges, the quick note function of OneNote doesn't run and Powerpoint simply fails to start when run.

Has anyone had this problem before or does anyone know what could be causing this?

I've looked around and seen that there are a few people with the same problem but nobody seems to be able to offer a definitive answer.

As far as I'm aware, none of the programs with a tendency to interfere with Microsoft Office are installed on the machine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Word 2013 refuses to save document

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:44 AM PDT

I have been using Word 2013 for some time now. I must say that I am still adjusting after having had a very satisfying experience with Word 2010. All of a sudden Word 2013 is refusing to save documents. I am ending up copying the contents of 2013 documents and copying on blank 2010 files in order to save hours of work from going down the drain.

I am using 2013 in 2010 compatibility mode because it cannot align tables with the bottom margin (Table Tools>Layout>Select Table>Properties>Around>Positioning>Position: Bottom Relative to: Margin) , a  feature which I have been using for years (at least since 1997) and which is very important for me.

Does the fact that I am using 2013 in compatibility mode have anything to do with its refusal to save documents?

Thanks

Office Home and Student 2010 failure after upgrade to Windows 8.1

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:44 AM PDT

Hello,

I recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 8. I installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 (Family Pack) and everything worked great. I was recently prompted (last Tuesday?) to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and since then (Friday, 90% certain the timing is right and 100% certain there have been no other changes) the following has been occurring:

  • PowerPoint can be opened from "the app screen" (whatever it's called, unfamiliar with new style windows).
  • When opening a PowerPoint file the program stops at the load graphic [Opening "filename" 0%]
  • Word cannot be opened from the app screen or by clicking on a file.
  • Word can be opened in safe mode.
  • Word can save files created in safe mode but cannot re-open them.
  • Excel can be opened from the app screen.
  • Excel cannot open existing files.
  • I don't use OneNote (whatever that does)

I ran the compatibility trouble shooter but it just continues searching and doesn't produce any results or give up.

Have read a couple of discussions with people having issues with installing Office 2010 on Windows 8.1 so I am anxious about trying reinstalling and those discussions started with a different problem but I have the box/license key and all that with me if that's recommended.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

(Not so) Simple Search and Replace Macro

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 10:43 AM PDT

I'm trying to create a macro to open a file in a certain folder, search for keyword, replace the keyword with a null value, save and close the document, move to the next document.

 

Everything works just fine with the exception of finding the word and replacing it with a null.

 

I currently have the following data:

#Tag=1001
#Tag=1002
#Tag=1003
#Tag=1004
#Tag=1005
#Tag=1006
#Tag=1007
#Tag=1008
#Tag=1009
#Tag=1010
#Tag=1011

All I want to do is simply take out the pound sign to get:

Tag=1001
Tag=1002
Tag=1003
Tag=1004
Tag=1005
Tag=1006
Tag=1007
Tag=1008
Tag=1009
Tag=1010
Tag=1011

I have the following code:

Sub FindReplace(ByVal FName As String)

  Dim D As Document
  Dim R As Range
  

'Open the document
  Set D = Documents.Open(FName)

'Get the range for the whole document
  Set R = D.Content


'Search for the keyword
  Do While R.Find.Execute("#Tag")


'Find the pound sign and replace it with null
  R.Find.Execute (Replace("#Tag", "#", ""))


'Setup object R to the position after the keyword up to the end of the document
  R.SetRange R.End, D.Content.End


  Loop


'Save and close
  D.Close True, wdOriginalDocumentFormat

End Sub

It goes thorough each file and makes no changes. I'm stumped!

Thanks in advance for any ideas that would help

Word 2013 - How do I change the "new file" view?

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 09:02 AM PDT

In Office (Word) 2013, when opening a new file (File tab, new), the icons show an image of a generic document that is very large.  I get two rows of these icons, 5 icons wide, in a screen view.

As is is, I have to scroll down many rows to get to the template I wish to use.  In office 2010, these icons were smaller and appeared all on a single screen without scrollbars.

Is there any way to go back to the old view in Office 2010 that showed all of the icons regular size on one screen at a time?

Bug in 2013 (New Doc; Show FieldCodes; Zoom)

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 07:50 AM PDT

I have found a bug in Word2013 that I can duplicate at will. How do I report this to MS?

Setup:

  1. Create a document in Word 2013. (Doesn't error in 2010 or 2007). (OS doesn't matter. I can duplicate in w7 and w8)
  2. Add a second page. (It must have second page by code, not by length.)  (Ctrl-Enter will do it.)
  3. Add this macro to the document and run the macro.

Sub smallscreen()

     'When run against a two page document, it causes Word to generate

     'a 'small screen' for the next new document.

     ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = True

     If ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes Then ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False

End Sub

    4.. Now create new document (Ctrl-N or File|New). It, and all subsequent documents, will be 'zoomed' to 10%.

I have written a program that has many switches between ShowFieldCodes True/False and this bug is killing me! (If I zoom the new document created in step 4 back to 100%, then subsequent new documents open at 100%, but who wants to have to do that?)

Microsoft Visio/Word Import/Export Bug

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 07:45 AM PDT

Hi All

I have found a 'bug' when working with Microsoft Office and Visio. I will try and detail it below...please bare with me it is quite long winded

Using Microsoft Office 2010...

1) Create a new Visio Drawing

2) Insert 2 shapes

3) Save drawing

4) Close Visio

5) Open Word

6) Drag/drop the saved visio file into the document. (or go insert -> object -> Create from file -> navigate to file)

7) Save document.

8) Double click on embedded visio file, to edit the visio object "in-place"

9) Modify the visio object by deleting one of the 2 shapes (Only delete a shape, do not do anything else to the visio file)

10) Click away from the Visio object to return to Word.

11) Navigate to file -> save as.

12) Save document

13) Navigate to file -> save as

14) Save document as PDF

15) Upon opening the PDF,  it should contain both shapes, yet the Word document contains only a single shape

If someone could confirm this it would be appreciated. I have tried it on several different machines with the same result.

Let me know if there are any further questions.

If this is confirmed as a bug, how do i go about escalating it to Microsoft?

MS Word 2013: Clustered Column chart: Word 2013 application is behaving bizarrely while applying Chart Style (style 4 onwards) to the inserted clustered column chart.

Description:


Suppose I applied style 4 to the inserted clustered column chart based on the data in the table titled "XYZ", after closing and re-opening that saved doc file. I observed that clustered column chart visually appears no different, but if I click on it, it now says it has Chart style 5.

I observed that in MS Word 2013 application if I apply any Style (Style 4 onwards -including style 4) e.g. Style 6 to Clustered Column chart, after saving changes and reopening same file, It says 'Applied chart style + 1' style i.e. in this case it will say 7 instead of Style 6.

Note:

1-    If we again reopen the file and re-apply desired style to chart in start file then it will retain the re-applied style whenever we open that file.This issue is not reproducible for Chart style 1, 2 and 3.

Also if I try to attach any document I have saved as .docx , when i want to attach it to an email it can not be found in the folders.

Plus for a time there all my word docs where being save to WordPad... I think this has now stopped.

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 02:38 AM PDT

I need to introduce a title, some standard information, and a table into an existing Word document. This block of new data needs to be positioned before the existing text.

My attempt to code this is as follows:

Dim oCell As Word.Range
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim oTable As Word.Table

' strTitle and strInformation are set here

Selection.TypeParagraph

Selection.Font.Size = 24
Selection.Font.Name = "Arial"
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(18, 75, 122)

Selection.TypeText (strTitle)

Selection.Font.Size = 10
Selection.Font.Name = "Arial"
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.TypeText (strInformation)

Set oTable = ActiveDocument.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:=2)

With oTable.Range.Cells
    .Height = 20
End With

With oTable.Range.Font
    .Name = "Arial"
    .Size = 8

End With

Set oCell = oTable.Cell(1, 1).Range
oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
oCell.Fields.Add oCell, Type:=wdFieldDocVariable, Text:="""Name01""", PreserveFormatting:=False

' Similar code exists for the other cells in the table, and is not repeated here. The variable 'Name01' is returning the correct value. 

Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)

Selection.Font.Bold = True

Selection.TypeText Text:="Original text starts here ..." 'Coloured red

' Existing text reverts back to non-bold black text. Remaining text is unchanged.

Selection.Font.Bold = False
Selection.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The majority of the code is working OK. However, 2 problems remain.

1) I want the text in the cells to be aligned to centre and left.

2) The message "Original text starts here" is positioned in the table cell instead of in the body of the document.

Any help would be appreciated.

Word (all versions) starts very slowly on some documents

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 12:44 AM PDT

We have MS Word 2003 installed in our office and we use this to create documents.  If I copy one of these documents onto another computer (eg my home one) and open it with Word 2013, it sometimes takes a very long time.  The startup screen on Word 2013 indicates that it is searching in \\server\My documents - which is the location where workgroup templates are stored on the office computer.  This folder does not exist on my home computer.

I think that the problem is that documents are created using a template in \\server\My documents at my office, but this network folder does not exist on my home network.

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Date Calculation by subtracting one day from date field using mergefield

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 12:33 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a mail merge document where it captures data from a database.

I wanted to use the date calculation to subtract one day from the date field.

Example, the date field from the database is June 6, 2014, i have to be able to come up with a date where it will show June 5, 2014 instead.

Thanks for the support in advance.

Make use of interface blank area when viewing footnotes

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 09:55 PM PDT

Hi,
I'm writing an scientific paper that requires footnotes. Sometimes, when I find myself at difficulty at tracking the footnotes, such as the first time it was mentioned in the body of the text.

So I changed the view to the draft layout. Then, I selected the References, Footnotes section, show notes. The footnotes frame opened in the lower portion of the interface.

This is the best way to view footnotes linearly. However, the draft view only takes advantage of the leftmost "column" for the body text, as you can see in the attached image. The mandatory horizontal division makes it difficult to read both parts of the text – the body and the footnotes. On the other hand, there is a wide unused portion to the right that could be occupied exactly by the footnotes panel, optmizing the workflow and readability dramatically.

Is there any way to change the view so the footnotes stay SIDE BY SIDE with the body and not BELOW it?

Thanks!

p.s. I already asked this in the Portuguese section here but they got me wrong :(

cant load Word 2013

Posted: 27 Apr 2014 04:10 PM PDT

Brand new Acer notebook, Win 8 (can't upgrade to 8.1, man at the store said that free upgrade ended in March), downloaded & installed Word 2013, when I try to open it everything looks good, the window for Word comes up, then a little screen pops up saying "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result". There are 3 choices, repair, help, close, tried repair & nothing happens, went to help & scanned over the several hundreds of problems & possible fixes, one I actually tried, went to installed programs, highlighted word, at the top clicked on change, clicked on quick repair. It went thru the process & said repairs were finished & I could use Word now, wrong, same error. I checked the compatibility mode & checked the box to display all websites in compatibility view, same error, Active X filtering was checked, unchecked it, same results. I had also removed Norton antivirus in case Norton was causing a problem, same thing. Any suggestions or do I need to call MS?

Works V.9.0 -How do I change default doc location - vista

A little experimentation might prove helpful and reveal whether it can

I try not to mess with the registry, it is the one place where you can
really damage the operating system.

I do not have my Works programs on the "NEW" menu, why do you want yours
there?

I assume if the writers of the programs wanted them there they would of done
so.

There is another tool called "tweak Ul" it may have the ability to do what
you want. Google for Microsoft PowerToys to find it.

can't convert Works spreadsheet to Excel

Posted: 22 May 2009 03:05 PM PDT

You can do a File, Save As to a XLS file, but your original XLR file is
still there and any time you do a Save (rather than a File Save As) in
Works it will save as an XLR.

But as Keith indicated, Excel can directly read XLR files, so no
conversion is necessary.

I had the same problem. I finally right clicked on the word icon (samething
would work on the program menu) and then clicked on "Preferneces" I then
clicked on "compatibility' and there was a message there saying if I was
having trouble with this program and it worked ok before, I should select
from the menu, the package under which it worked alright. Thank Heavens there
was only one item and it was Windows XP (service pack 2.) Even thought I am
sure that I never ran this under XP since it was a program that came with my
new Vista, when I click on that, it solved the problem. I am not a computer
whiz and don't know why but you might just try going to the "compatible" site
to see what is there.

number a report

Posted: 16 May 2009 03:29 PM PDT

Shwmae Rodney,

I honestly don't recall that particular post. ;)

In general, to auto-number a list in a report, create a field (rank) that is
self-referencing and which automatically increments by 1 i.e rank=rank+1.

However, there would need to be a means of sorting the records, based
on one of the field's contents - e.g earnings or position etc to get the correct
order before numbering.

Therafter, report filtering can be used to select the rank values required.

HTH,
