No, the keys are not exactly the same and, no, I will NOT email you keys. Nor should anyone else.

As for calling MIcrosoft, they are not in charge of the downloads. Just keep trying the contact links on the download page - the downloads are handled by a third party.

Re-install Office Professional Edition 2003

Posted: 19 Oct 2006 12:23 PM PDT

You don't have to reinstall Works. When the Office 2003
installer prompts that it can't find a qualifying product, swap
the Office 2003 CD and Works CD, point the installer to the CD
drive and let it see the Works CD, and then swap CDs again when
prompted.

Office 97 won't Install - error: Cannot find SHELL.DLL

Posted: 18 Oct 2006 12:51 PM PDT

The problem is that you are trying to install a 16-bit product on a
predominately 32-bit system.
SHELL.DLL is a 16-bit shared library used pre-Windows XP (e.g., Windows 95,
98, ...).

First, you need to determine if the DLL (or DLLs) are registered in the
Windows Registry.
16-bit DLLS do not register using regsvr32, they use regsvr16. So you will
have to locate that app.
If I recall, it is also on the installation CD you have for Office 97.
Search for regsvr16.exe or regsvr16.ex_ (in case it is compressed).

Once it's registered, you may have to determine if C:\Windows\System is in
the search Path of Windows XP.
Try running 'set' (without quotes) from a CMD window and see if
C:\Windows\System is in the PATH environment variable.

Keep in mind, SHELL.DLL may not be you only file not found problem. You may
run into other DLLs not installed or registered, and even if you get it
installed, Office 97 may not work with all the dependencies on 16-bit
support DLLs and files.

The Office 97 Proofing Tools CD is a rare find nowadays. The
good(?) news is that you now have an excuse to upgrade to an
English-language version of Office 2003, which includes proofing
tools for English, French, and Spanish without having to purchase
anything extra.

Yes, uninstall the "trial version" of S & T 2003 before attempting to

authorized to be installed and activated on one computer. You will need two
copies to install on two computers.

Understood Rod, and thanks.

Issues associated with publishing can likely be covered through training.
As a second step, it might be wise to push the project to MIS/OPs folks
first, and let them guarantee security and rights before posting.

Now for installation and configuration: on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is
expert, our companies MIS/OPs group would rate a 4.5. Given the scalability
and complexity of the Project server, SharePoint and SQL combo, my guess is
that we should hook up with a consultant type post purchase.

Many thanks to you

How to make Project to adjust task according to resource availabil

Posted: 20 May 2005 08:34 AM PDT

Excellent hint, at least some flexibility! And I would say, “you can select
specific RESOURCE (not task) to level”. Project allows to clear leveling for
specific tasks, so I’ll try to use combination of both.

Appreciate everyone’s help.

Removing resource with unfinished tasks

Hi Dan,
These results may be correct if you changed, for example, the task duration
while the task type was set to "fixed work" (while the %Complete was already
50% for ex). The resource Jim L is assigned full time during some days and
part time the other days.
When you *replace* Jim L by Dan, Ms Project replace Jim L only on the
remaining work, may be at part time.
So after the replacement, the assignments are : Jim L [100%];Dan [50%]

Hope this helps,

best task type to use in Project 2002 - fixed duration or units

Posted: 20 May 2005 03:31 AM PDT

There is no such thing as a "best setting" for task type. The task type is
a switch you use when editing work assignments so when you change one of the
Work, Duration, or Units variables, Project will recalculate the proper
other variable in the triad. As such, the task type setting for a given
task might change many times as you refine your plan dependong just what
term you're changing and why you're changing it in this particular edit.

Example: I have Joe Painter assigned to paint a room. He works an 8 hour
day, is assigned 100% to the task, and we estimate it will take 5 days to do
the painting. Work = Duration * Units - always, it's Project's Prime
Directive and you can never, ever, have a task that violates it. So his
100% committment to 40 hours (5 days) of painting means that task requires
40 man-hours of effort. Now we're about to edit his work assignment to 50%.
When we do, we have to ask ourselves just why we're doing that. Is it
because we need him free'ed up some of each day to do some other work
elsewhere at the same time the room is being painted? If that's the case,
the painting will still require the same number of man-hours of effort but
the duration it takes to do that will be twice as long. Make the task Fixed
Work, change the Units and Project recalculates the duration and sets it to
10 days. Or the other alternative is we have realized it's actually only a
20 man-hour task but we don't need it done any sooner than 5 days
none-the-less. While usually you'd want to get it done ASAP, let's say for
some reason this time we want to leave it at 5 days. So set the task type
to Fixed Duration, edit the Units, and this time Project will recalculate
Work and set it to 20 man-hours, or even more logical, set the work to the
required 20 man-hours and Project tells us we only need the painter at 50%
committment so he can do other stuff part of the time.

The identity Work = Duration * Units is just like any other linear equation
Y=mX+b. Its terms include a constant, an independent variable, and a
dependent variable. You can pick any of the 3 terms and make it the
constant by way of choosing the task type, take your pick one of the
remaining two terms and edit it, making it the independent variable, and
Project will recalculate the third, dependent variable, term for you.

I think Brian's explanation is most likely. Three other possibilities I can
think of:
1 - corrupted file
2 - virtual memory shortage
3 - bar style definitions

Regarding #3, is it possible that your bar style definitions are causing you
to see the baseline instead of the current plan? In that case, if the
schedule has slipped, the lag bars would run past the apparent finish date.

Hi Sheila,

Yes, you can put Max. Units to 500, which means five people are allocated to
the project.
But this is not a reply to your original question, I quote:
"that "group" should include the usual resources."
Well, it doesn't include other resources. It's just 5 units of a resource,
that's all.
Hence my reply that a resource including other resources is not possible.

Resource pools help put resoruces in common between multiple projects.
Look for help on Resource Sharing.

Import of Custom Fields

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 01:07 PM PST

On the CRM server open the Deployment Manager and click on the Schema Manager
node to expand it. Select the entity that you want to extend and expand it.
Underneath the entity (such as Account) right click on the Attributes node
and select New Schema field. From there you can define the custom field.
Beware the SQL row size limit - especially on the Contact entity.

When you are done, you can add the fields in the web UI system
customization... Then publish your changes from the Deployment Manager and do
an iisreset from the cmd prompt on the CRM server.

If you use the DMF to import your data, you will first initialize the CDF
database which will scan and recognize custom fields.

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 04:59 AM PST

I thank you for your inputs.

While this can be calculated allright, we would still be interested to find
out if there are any ISV's out there who have made a solution for incentives
for personnel. A well designed solution with Incentive/Commissions plans can
really add that much more value/punch to this solution. I also buy Don
Peppers idea that it is an important facilitator for easy and early adaption
of the solution by the intended users in the company.

I request the CRM community and microsoft to please let us know at the
earliest.

Data fields in an activity from a workflowrule

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 02:33 AM PST

Actually, there is an undocumented feature that will allow you to do this. You
can add "slugs" to the activities by using the following type of syntax:
&account.name;

This would put in the Name of the account. The field names are case sensitive
and are the same names that are returned in the associated views (in your case,
the quote view).

Contactperson in a quote

Posted: 22 Dec 2004 02:29 AM PST

Matt

Thanks for your answer but it gives me another problem I mentioned before.
I make a quote from the account to get in all the address fields. If I put
in the address fields by using lookup I have the problem that it doesn't fill
all fields. In fact I added a field housenumber in both the accountsections
billto and shipto. I used an existing field postofficebox for it. I also made
the mappings.
So if I do what you suggest I have the right contact in the qoute but I am
missing some important data in the account fields. Or do you know how to
solve that problem?

Concern with SQL database size

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 08:41 PM PST

I would agree. Also, you are talking about a few records that can't be deleted.
How many disabled users & business Units are expected to be in the system? Even
over time, this number would be what, a few hundred? That would accound for a
few MB of storage, not exactly something to be concerned about in the big
picture.

If you run into problems with space on the SQL server, it will be due to other
tables that may contain hundred's of thousands or several million rows.

Unique Office Problem... Every other time I reboot... "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment."

Posted: 03 May 2014 01:24 PM PDT

Hey,

For the life of me I cannot figure this problem out.

I have tried many things, looking at the registry editor making sure things are OK under Shell Folders. And looking in the internet explorer and making sure the "temp internet files" was set to the right directory or whatever. I also tried to re install office, repair off, re install office configuration.

Every other time I reboot, ""Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment." Sometimes it happens concomitantly with excel, sometimes not...

Obviously its preventing me from saving files.

 

I just can't seem to fix this.,,, please help.

Font changed

Posted: 03 May 2014 12:49 PM PDT

I have a very long document.  I have a font called Mary Jane Small Caps.  About 3 months ago a transferred the document, in compatibility mode, to a Surface running Windows RT 8.1 and Word 2013.  I worked on the document in that environment until recently.  I have now put the document back on my Windows 7 computer, still compatibility mode.  The places where I used the Mary Jane Small Caps are now in some other font which is NOT small caps, even though a check of the properties says the font is Mary Jane Small Caps.  What happened and how do I fix the issue?

Table of Contents and Formatting

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:48 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm working on a 200+ page document on Word 2010. I need to insert a table of contents (TOC) for the document; however, the TOC needs to have different margins than the actual report. It needs to look like this:

1.0       TITLE TITLE

           1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE

                       1.1.1      TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE

                                    1.1.1.1         TITLE TITLEITLE

But the document itself needs to look like this:

1.0 TITLE TITLE

1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1 TITLE TITLE TITLE

1.1.1.1 TITLE TITLE

I'm having trouble having the TOC and document titles mismatch in formatting. In other words, if I bold or move the headings in the documents then TOC changes to match what I have in the document which is what I don't want. Also, once I insert the TOC and start working on the document I don't know how to add an additional subheading to the TOC, i.e. in the example above I wouldn't know how to add 1.1.1.1.1 once I've created the TOC.

I don't know if it matters, to insert a TOC, I usually type out all the chapter and subchapter names, click on styles, and then insert the TOC.

I appreciate all the help, my job depends on this!!

      

How to install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use

Posted: 03 May 2014 11:38 AM PDT

Hello,

How do you install an English dictionary in Word 2010 for offline use? I don't have internet at home and need to use a dictionary. I seem to remember that Word 2003 used to have a dictionary you could use even if you were not connected to the internet. I'm able to use the thesaurus on Word 2010 at home. 

Can someone help?

Thank you.

How can I find Bold next to Italic, or other format combinations?

Posted: 03 May 2014 10:46 AM PDT

I know how to perform search and replace for basic formatting situations.

And I know that we can use wildcards to format (replace) text, using something such as this:

\1 ((bold))

... but how can I find combinations of formatting, such as bold text next to italic text, or normal text next to bold text.

For example, I would like to turn this:

this is some text that is not bolded. But this is

some text that is bolded.

... into this:

this is some text that is not bolded. 

But this is

some text that is bolded.

I was hoping the wildcard strings would be something like this:

FIND: (*)((normal))(*)((bold))

REPLACE: \1^13\2

... but the things I have tried don't work and I cannot find documentation regarding format-codes.

Thanks,

Joe

Lost an important document! Reverted to old version, how do i find it?

Posted: 03 May 2014 07:05 AM PDT

I've been working on a document for the last month, and yesterday I got a lot done, constantly saving every few minutes. Today, I went back to the document and all was fine and then my laptop crashed, but I managed to get onto word, save it and then restarted my computer. When I've gone back to the document it has reverted to a version from 4 weeks ago, and I can't find any trace of the newer version. I have tried everything- searching in all files, searching for temp files/asd files, it is not in the autosaved/unsaved file and I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help? Any suggestions?

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:53 AM PDT

As to (text) Styles you can always select the modified text then update the style you want to match it, whereas to my disappointment, you can't do the same with table styles! and if it's not because it's way too all-consuming to either create or modify a table style(to which point I can't even set it well in the diagbox, my table style is too complicated btw) I wouldn't complain about this. Why can't I simply update a certain table style to match it? If I can't, why can't I draw the table style out in the diagbox?????????? I need EFFICIENCY and EASY USAGE!!

Cleaning up the header menu in Word 2013

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:18 AM PDT

I am new to Word 2013, migrating from 2003 recently. In the Header "ribbon" I have all these symbols with text, but it's cluttered and wide, like its two rows thick, where my old word it was narrow across top.  The new word header takes up a little more than twice the space as my old word header and its busier with all the stuff. If I remove one of the commands, It just leaves empty white space up there on the top right - wasted and empty. How can I collapse the commands so they are just the ones I want and run along a single row like the old word, which was cleaner and less crowded? Is that possible?

how to delete a new unsaved document without closing Word 2013?

Posted: 03 May 2014 06:12 AM PDT

I recently migrated to 2013 Word. In my previous version, if I opened Word and started a document but hadn't saved it and wanted to create a new one and delete the first one, I just go up to a small x below the main X for getting out of Word and it would ask me if I want to Save, Don't Save or Cancel. I click don't save and it deletes it, leaving Word open to open or create a new document. I see no small x anymore. Is that not available in this latest version? How do I delete it - the document that has never been saved -  without closing Word?

Non U.S-based English Language Preferences

Posted: 02 May 2014 07:26 PM PDT

Why does Microsoft continue to show a complete and utter lack of respect to English speakers who do not reside in the U.S?

If you count the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and other former and current members of the British commonwealth then there are approximately 200 million speakers who are being treated as second-class citizens and having the proliferation of U.S English thrust upon them with a lack of true localised language and display packs. 

Here are some suggestions:

- How about giving us the right to choose our language rather than out of the box U.S English?

- I expect my localised dictionary to show the U.S spelling as incorrect, suggesting I use an exceptions list to achieve this is unacceptable. The non-US dictionaries accept both U.S and U.K words while the U.S dictionary accepts only U.S words, irony?

- Fix the language settings in MS Office which are messy and often ignore the PC's regional settings.

- Educate partners on the importance of setting correct regional preferences on new PC's and servers.


There is no excuse Microsoft. You operate in global markets and should cater to the local tastes and preferences, particularly in highly profitable markets. Google has recognised this - why not Microsoft?

Recover Lost Word Document

Posted: 02 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT

Hi there.
I have been working on an essay for a few months now, and made great headway yesterday. I made sure to save the document several times as I knew my computer would need to restart and do updates. I save the document again, and later on that night restarted my computer to do it's updates. Now I can only find a version of my essay from 2 months ago which is missing 70% of the information, and I have tried all the possible ways to recover it.
I've searched for it as a backup file, a ~ file, .tmp file, under different names, through autorecovery and still no luck.
I'm horribly desperate. Has anyone had this problem?

I tested this and it is true. When you set a deadline, Project uses
that as the Late Finish date.

[snip] 
The problem is that it doesn't happen like that. Several tests I did,
Project always delays the task with the deadline, regardless the
dealine/Late Finish dates are sooner that the Late Finish of the other
tasks.
In other words, if, in a group of simmilar tasks that require the same
resource, you don't set any deadline, Project delays the task with
the higher ID. If you set a deadline to one of the tasks, that is the
one delayed, regardless if it misses the dealine.

Project always chooses the worst possible solution, considering the
deadlines.
 
It didn't solve my problem but I learned one more detail of Project.
Thanks. :-]

Changing Resource % mid project.

Posted: 18 May 2005 11:59 AM PDT

Hi Steve,

Funny tasks you have!
They can only be worked on 50% but that only from a certain date; the same
date that by chance or bad luck another task starts.
I know I'm up against most of the PM community, but I don't like people
being cut into halves.
That's why I dare insist. Why exactly does it have to be 50%.
If your latest statement is the reason, then the assignment unit MUST be 50%
from the beginning of the task, because people have to wait for things all
of the time.
But if that isn't the reason, if the reason is risk of overloading, the
assignment units should be 100% and the tasks done in sequence.

Not that Project can't handle it, go to Task usage and contour your
asignment the way you want it... but don't feel frustrated for calculating
manually what Project's leveling could do for you, that is provide a
solution for overallocations.

My experience is that (far too) many customers use % allocation just for
that reason... they WANT to calculate everything manually...

Hope this helps,

How to create an icon on the toolbar to filter % complete

Posted: 18 May 2005 04:50 AM PDT

Hi Majid,

You will need to create a filter (not use AutoFilter) to do this.

Choose Project > Filtered For > More Filters....
Click the New... button.
Name the filter and click Show in Menu.
Set the first row of the filter to:
Field Name: % Complete
Test: equals
Value: 100%

Set the second row of the filter to:
OR
Field Name: % Complete
Test: Equals
Value: 0%

If you want to see summary rows, click Show related summary rows.
Click OK.

To run the filter, click the filter drop-down list in the Formatting Toolbar
and select the filter. This will allow you to run the filter from any
*Task* view
and show only those tasks which are 100% complete or 0% complete.

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

One worker, two groups with two pay rates

Posted: 17 May 2005 05:46 PM PDT

That's a classic example of the use of the Rate Tables feature - in fact, I
use almost exactly that example - Mary Ann who can serve as either an AD or
a Camera Assistant on a film shoot - in my classes. Go to the Resource
Sheet. Joe Smith should have only ONE entry, not two, in the resource sheet
otherwise Project won't be able to tell if you've double booked him on
different tasks occuring at the same time. Doing it the way you have really
fouls up the whole resource allocation functions. Double click on his ID
number on the left to display the Resource Information Form. You'll see
there are 5 rate tables there - the entrys from the regular resource sheet
populate Rate Table A with his standard rate, OT rate, and cost per use.
For simplicity use this table for the rates for his primary function,
perhaps Camera. Select the tab for Rate Table B and on it enter the std,
ot, and cost per use rates for his secondary function, pehaps that's Tape.
When you assign him to tasks Project will use the rates from Table A by
default to determine the costs. But you can then display your choice of
either the Task Usage or Resource Usage view, double click the ID number for
the assignment to display the Assignment Information form, and select the
rate table to be used for that specific task.

Be careful you understand how Cost per Use tallys into the cost of a task.
If you have Joe working as a Camera Operator at $250 per use, the budget is
assesed $250 for each time he is assigned to a task regardless of how long
that task takes - $250 per setup or per shot depending on how well you break
down the shot plan. If he is assigned to 5 days of filming entered as 1
task running for 5 days duration, the total cost will be $250. But if that
same shoot is carried in the plan as 5 individual 1-day setups, the cost is
5*$250 or $1250 even though the total duration of the work is exactly the
same. Make sure that accurately describes your actual situation. If those
rates represent day rates for a crew member, I'd recommend you consider
entering those as his Standard Rate so the estimated cost is calculated
based on the time spent working rather than the number of different tasks
he's assigned to. Otherwise you could easily have someone who actually gets
paid $250 a day hitting your budget at $500 because he's done one setup in
the morning and another the afternoon of the same day.

Hope this helps
