Graphical indicator field to reflect constraint type Microsoft Project

Graphical indicator field to reflect constraint type

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 06:48 PM PDT

Hello, Wendy.

The Constraint Type is a numeric field.
0 = As soon as possible
1 = As late as possible
2 = Must start on
3 = Must finish on
4 = Start no earlier than
5 = Start no later than
6 = Finish no earlier than
7 = Finish no later than

Use one of the custom number fields (Number1, Number2, ...), setting
it to be equal to the field Constraint Type (the formula is just that:
[Constraint Type]) and to use the graphical indicators.

Using the examples in your post,
0 = indicator green
7 = indicator blue
...

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Joaquim Amado Lopes

Problems With Microsoft Project 2003 Trial Version

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 05:51 PM PDT

I went to Number 6 Trial Booting. It suggested that I:

try modifying registry key:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1661544484-239356022-623648099-500\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\MSProject\Option s\General.
Change value of FirstBoot from "No" to "Yes".

I went to regedit. I do not have the folder cited above. The closest I have
are 2 folders that start with HKEY_USERS\S-1-15-21-3935143360.

Thanks in advance for all of your assistance!

I also am getting the gbui trusted site issues since I have deleted that
from Internet Explorer trusted sites. I now have to go Task Manager in order
to exit the Project application.

Missing BCWS values

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 12:16 PM PDT

Yes it will. But your only other choice is to find a copy of the schedule
before you made any updates, baseline it correctly and then update it to
match your current schedule. Sometimes the best you can do is just start now
and ignore any water that has already passed under the bridge.

Printing Gantt timescale in MSP 2000

Posted: 06 Jun 2005 06:15 AM PDT

John: Thanks for the reply. On a technical note, I had a typo in my post and
am running MSP2002. To get to your point, I have a fluid range in both the
middle and lower tier- years then quarters- no skipping. It appears to be
scaled adequately, but basically just shows blank cells when I print. I can
see the spaces that would hold text, but they are not populated. I have since
tested the file on other PC's at my office and it works fine- I can see the
dates in the timescale, so it is a setting on my PC, I just cannot for the
life of me figure out which one it is.

Order of details under Resource in Who does What Report

Posted: 04 Jun 2005 03:34 AM PDT

Hi Margaret als,

Glad to know the tip I gave worked well for you and thanks so much for the
feedback.

As far as protocol for newsgroups posting, I think this newsgroup is pretty
flexible. (Not all newsgroups are.)
I usually post my replies at the top (sometimes called "top posting") just
because I think it is easier to follow the "conversation" in the post that
way. Others post at the bottom. As far as deleting earlier threads in the
conversation, I usually delete earlier portions if they are not "important"
(in my opinion) to the current posting. I usually delete it just to make
download a bit quicker - particularly for folks on a dial-up connection.

Again, thanks for the feedback and let us know if you have any further
questions.

Work schedule progress question

Posted: 03 Jun 2005 12:44 PM PDT

Why would they object to your posting accurate information into the file?
If Joe Resource was scheduled to wax the widgets on July 1st but actually
got some of it done last week, shouldn't your file reflect that? Save a
baseline before posting the progress and it will show what you'd planned so
you can monitor actual versus planned if anybody asks. But progress by
definition is what actually takes place and after it's done what you
originally thought would take place is irrelevant. Seems like if you base
your progress inputs on what actually happens, the calculations in the
summary bars will be exactly what your bosses are asking you for.

where can I find a manual for Project 2003

Posted: 03 Jun 2005 10:28 AM PDT

There are, of course, 3rd party manuals if you're willing to pay. I
think Tim Pyron's Que manual "Using Project 200x" are the most complete
and written by someone who knows Project Management. Unlike some of the
other manuals, particularly the MS ones. For a simpler, less detailed
one, I reccommend "MS Project for Dummies".
Best of luck!

Promoting email to CRM

Posted: 09 Jan 2005 09:19 PM PST

Thank you Frank.
As I mentioned in my posting, I was a User (in fact with Administrator
right), and my contacts who sent me the messages are appearing in blue.

However your comment re contact did prompt me. I had record of myself in
Outlook Contacts that I used to send to people as v-card. And when I imported
my Contacts into CRM there were duplicate copies of myself in both CRM and
Contacts. I remember deleting the copies (which I thought were the Outlook
records). If I had deleted the copies by mistake, i.e. the record by CRM and
AD, would that have been the reason I was not reconized as an user? In
another word, the link between the two has been lost and I had to manually
establish it every time?

If so, which I have a horrible feeling it is, is there a way to resolve it?

Thanks in advance again.

thanks for the post (I don't know about the email either - was a fresh post!)

We did try this initially but the CRM install kept saying "No valid

replaced (we're running CRM on SBS & the whole thing had to be rebuilt from
scratch).

Never mind, I've got another suggestion from MS so we'll try that this

Word 2007 (table of figures and captions for figures)

Posted: 12 May 2014 02:38 PM PDT

I am working with a table of figures for the first time. I am attempting to update an existing Word document.  I can not update the caption

field for any of the figures. I assume I need to do this before attempting to regenerate the table of figures. I can update the caption field for a brand new Word document. Is there something I need to do to make the figures "captionable". My primary concern is being able to accurately refresh the table of figures so any method will be good enough for me.

note: for the existing Word document the caption field is unpopulated (all white)

Word 2013 speed issues - anyone successful?

Posted: 12 May 2014 11:11 AM PDT

I've gleaned through the majority of the posts on the subject of Word 2013 moving so slowly, applied many recommended changes/tweaks, yet this software is still unacceptably slow.  Honestly, I'm tired of making tweaks to a product that should be efficiently productive when its installed.  No one I work with wants fancy animated text, which is ultimately both pointless and a time killer.  I'm looking one last time for a definitive way to turn off this blasted type animation so my typing, templates and macros work efficiently, or I will have to remove this product as it is destroying my productivity.  Any suggestions other than turn off acceleration, add a key to disable graphics (neither of which has worked, by the way)?

Thank you.

How to make Word 2013 default while not killing Word 2010?

I have a licensed copy of 2010 and recently got 365 which comes with 2013. Both ride side-by-side.

I'm assuming there's something else in registry or elsewhere I need to change the defaults to 2013.

What do I need to do in order to change the default while still leaving both accessible?

Large document has become sluggish to edit

Posted: 12 May 2014 10:19 AM PDT

I have a very large Word document (in Word 2010 docx format), of around 400 pages, containing mostly text but also many pictures and tables. Lately, probably because it has become so "bloated", editing in Word has become sluggish, for instnace, there is a delay of a second or so between keyboard command and effect on screen for typing/selecting text.

I'm running Office 2013 on Windows 7 64-bit, CoreDuo CPU machine with 4GB RAM, and don't normally have many other programs open aside from Word, so PC performance isn't necessarily an issue. What can I try to make this document respond faster, as smaller (normal-sized) documents already do on my machine?

What I've tried, with no results:

- converting it to 2013 format (so that it is no longer in compatibility mode)

- viewing it in print/web layout

The obvious solution would be to just split the document up into several smaller documents. However, it this particular case this would create other problems, so I would very much prefer to keep it a single document, as long as I can find a way for its editing to stop being such a slow process.

Word 2007 - Insert Photo into Locked Form

Posted: 12 May 2014 09:51 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using Word 2007 to create a form.

I created a table and then inserted text and date controls.

With the form locked all works fine.

I now need a method to let the form user insert a photo.

Again I am using a table cell to hold the inserted photo and would like the inserted photo to automatically resize to fit the cell.

I have attempted to use a Picture Content Control, an Image Active X Control and a plan old Text Box inserted into the table cell with no success.

The Picture Content Control appears to work but I cannot get it to fill the size of the table cell.  I can drag the left and right edges of the control so that it fits the width of the cell but when I attempt to do the same with the top and bottom edges the cell is made taller.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Adjust Page size for inserted objects in MS Word

Posted: 12 May 2014 09:17 AM PDT


Morning, I am trying to import a Wordperfect table into Word via the Insert object (create new) process due to the fact that this is the only way I can keep the formulas but I am running into a problem with the formatting.

  1. Open the WP document
  2. Copy the table of choice
  3. Goto word and insert object (Create new)
  4. Select WordPerfect X7 Document
  5. Paste into inserted object

when I paste the table which is in a legal (8.5" X  14") size in the WP document into the object it gets pasted into a standard letter size format, I cannot seem to find a way to change the page size/layout in the inserted object, and this effects the view of the inserted object in Word.

How to change vowel's color separately from consonant?

Posted: 12 May 2014 09:15 AM PDT

Hi
I have some problem with windows generally. I try to solve this problem with experts but i get negative answer because this error is fatal and related to windows core. How i can aware microsoft windows developer about this problem or solve this problem?

see problem in this address:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23610330/how-to-change-vowels-color-separately-from-consonant

Summary:

In Arabic language, vowel combined with consonant makes one word. However, in Windows vowels can not be colored without consonants separately.

If you try to change the color of vowel's font, nothing happens. You must select consonants and vowels together and apply the font color. The same happens also in Microsoft Word, btw.

In Arabic language, especially for educational purposes, it's very common to show vowels with different color but Windows doesn't take this into account.

For better understanding of structure of the Arabic language see this article from Wikipedia.

Example of this problem in picture:

Preview Pane - Word/Excel/Power Point fail to start error - Files open without problem

Posted: 12 May 2014 09:00 AM PDT

If the preview pane is enabled in Windows 7 explorer, I get an error on any Office 2013 file type if the file name is clicked on.  The error messages are: Sorry something went wrong - Word failed to start; There's not enough memory or system resources to start Power Point; Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.;  Now this machine has 1.5 GB of free memory.  Also if the file is double clicked then it opens fine in the application.  If one turns off the preview pane then the files open fine in the applications without issue.

I have uninstalled Office 2013, re installed.  Uninstalled - ran the fix-It tool-set to clear all traces of Office 2013.  All with the same issue.

I need a fix for this.

Default font not memorised in template normal.dotm

Posted: 12 May 2014 08:44 AM PDT

Hi

My normal.dotm settings are to start a Word document with Arial 11 black by default and yet regularly it changes for Calibri bold 10. I keep on resetting those formattings and saving for ALL documents in Normal.dotm but it still happened many times a day.

Rather than to set the default settings from a document, I opened the normal.dotm, did those corrections, saved and it still happens.

Any suggestion please??? It is so annoying!!

Not sure if it is relevant but my job is to mark papers saved in Word via internet by many different learners. Could there be some conflicts between their settings and mine??

With my thanks for your help.

How to get Spell Check to detect incorrect punctuation - for example, in the abbreviation for Saint - UK English?

Posted: 12 May 2014 06:37 AM PDT

In UK English it is usual to omit the full stop after the abbreviation for Saint.

For example, St Joseph's, etc

Here is a comment from the Oxford Dictionary on the subject:

If an abbreviation consists of the first and last letters of a word, you don't need to use a full stop at the end:

Mr

Ltd

Dr

For reference, here is the page: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/punctuation-in-abbreviations 

How do I get Word's Spell Check to understand this?

*  *  *  *  *  *

Although the 'rules' state that full stops should be used after other abbreviations, such as Prof., day and month names, etc, (including et cetera...), I have noticed a growing tendency in UK English to avoid full stops after abbreviations in almost all cases. They are really redundant and generally do not aid in understanding what is written, at least that seems to be the feeling over here in the UK. In the same way that underlining is now deprecated in documents, especially headings where they were mostly found, as underlining has become to mean a hyperlink.

So, St Thomas, Prof Bloom, USA, US, UK, Mon, Tues, Jan, Feb, etc, and so on. These may be incorrect strictly speaking, but are quite commonly found these days.

It would be impossible for the Office Spell Checker to be able to cater for everyone's tastes in this regard simultaneously, but it would be nice if there were options to allow this (these...?) to be selected. Just a thought.

Applying a theme format doesn't work if first paragraph is in new format

Posted: 12 May 2014 04:57 AM PDT

This is an old problem which I had hoped would be fixed in Word 2013, but it seems to have escaped the notice of the developers.

Normally, if you select a paragraph (for example), and then click on the desired formatting from the ribbon, then that formatting is applied to the text selected in the document.

There are however two problems I have noticed where this does not work successfully (ie the formatting is not applied).

1) If the document is one which has been created by another program, albeit in docx format, and shown in the title bar as "compatible", then the newly selected formatting seldom works.  In my experience, never. You need to save the document as a Word document (not older versions) first, and then apply the formatting.

I encounter this regularly when I download an ePub from and convert it into Word. (Such as from FanFiction and other free websites). The converted document is good in that it has retained the original formatting, etc, it is just not a native Word document, and so it needs saving as a Word document first.

2) When several paragraphs or pages are selected for formatting, the selected formatting will not take if the first selected paragraph is already in the new formatting.

For example: you  format the first paragraph and decide you like the way it looks and want to apply the same format the rest of the document. You then select all the text in the document, and choose the desired formatting from the ribbon bar - to discover the formatting was not applied.

If you select the text in the document again, but this time start from the first paragraph that does not have the new formatting, then the new formatting takes successfully.

The first step in this process (after saving as a word document) is to choose the desired theme. Normally you would have expected this to automatically apply the formatting from the theme, but this only works if the original document was created using themes in the first place - which many are not.

The request I have of Microsoft, is that they have a look at the way formatting is applied so that the scenarios noted above are addressed.

Objects re-sizing when links are updated (excel>word)

Posted: 12 May 2014 03:20 AM PDT

Hi,

I have paste-linked several objects from Excel 2010 into Word 2010 - they are paste-linked as MS Office Drawing Objects for maximum quality. When they are pasted into my Word document they are too big so I then manually re-size them to suit the document's layout - I re-size them using the Scaling % in Format Autoshape, Lock Aspect Ratio & Relative to Original Picture Size are both ticked... I then select manual updating for each object so I'm in control of updating.

At a later date when I re-open the files (Excel first then Word) the objects re-size back to their original size when I manually update the links - any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks.

Punctuation problem in Word 365

Posted: 12 May 2014 02:42 AM PDT

Hello,

I would like to present here a problem I have presented in another part of this community in Hebrew. There are not much of movement there and not much responses there so I am trying my luck here, and hoping to get the way to go out of the problem and to find the solution.

I have a Word file of about 30 pages in Hebrew. The problem there is not in the whole file but in few paragraphs in within few pages of the document.

The problem to which I did not find a solution in the Help menu, probably because I was not able to look for the right place to make my search, so here is my question:

The punctuations in some paragraphs are not placed at the end of the sentence, or at the end of the section of a sentence, but at the beginning of the following sentence.

The document is in Hebrew, then right to left direction of writing, but I assume that a solution appropriate for English page may be valid to Hebrew as well.

Thanks in Advance for any help and assistance,

Office conversion pack working for all terminal services users except one

Posted: 12 May 2014 02:40 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard with Service Pack 2, all the users at this site use terminal services to work off the server and we have Office 2003 installed, with the latest patches and version of the Office Conversion pack.

The issue I'm having is that the conversion pack works for every user, except for one, where it states that the conversion tool is not installed, but I can however open the same file from another user's account. I have uninstalled the conversion tool and updated it to the latest version, and the problem persists.

Is there anything I can do to sort this out?

Thanks in advance.

Using bookmarks for calculations

Posted: 12 May 2014 01:01 AM PDT

I created a document using Microsoft Word 2010 (Windows version).  The document contains a table, and within the columns of the table, I inserted some text form fields within the legacy controls element.

Once the document is protected and saved as a DOTX (document template) file, I am able to double-click on the icon representing the file and have Word open the document in such a way that I can interact with the TAB key and visit each field for entry.

I want the right most column to be able to display a number that represents a total numeric value based on the value typed in the quantity column multiplied by the value in the unit price column.

I tried using the calculate on exit for each of the contributing elements, but when I try to use the template, I get three currency values appearing in the total column, like this:  $20.00$0.000$20.00

What am I doing wrong?

Recover file accidently saved over Please Please help.

Posted: 11 May 2014 11:31 PM PDT

Hi Everyone, 

This is going to sound a bit dumb on my behalf, but anyway, here are the actions that I took, hopefully someone can help me undo them.

I wanted to open a particular file, the file I wanted to open, lets call it Wireframe, while I was already in word on another document lets call it, audit opportunities, I realised that wireframe was not saved in the right folder so, before I opened it, I ctrl x'd and then went to the right folder and ctrl v'd, the laptop promptly suggested that there wsa already a file called this and should I overwrite it. I said, yes. That was my mistake, because it took the content from Audit Opportunities and saved that over my wireframe, only I have spent literally 20 hours on wireframe as it also includes content.

Help, can I get this back?

Why does the Thesaurus option disappear from Review in Word?

Posted: 11 May 2014 10:25 PM PDT

I bought a new computer with Window 8.1 earlier this year. In the Microsoft Word work sheet I was able to use the Thesaurus under Review in the first few months.

However, beginning a few weeks ago, when I tried to use Thesaurus in Word, Word indicated that it could not provide answer because Wikipedia was not available. Now, the function of Thesaurus is no longer showed up under Review. (I still can right click Synonyms to get some answers.)

I have not done anything to change the setting of the program as I know of. Can anyone help?

Labels maile merge filter options???

Posted: 06 Dec 2009 04:21 PM PST

Re: How would I check that?

Open a new Word processor document, on Tools menu choose Labels, in Labels
dialog window tick Mailing labels, click OK.

In labels settings dialog window, select your product, click New Document.

This will produce 'Open Data Source' dialog window with two choices.

What do you select?

Merge from Address Book or Merge information from another type file?

If the later, what is the name of the file and does it have a .wdb
extension.

Envelope Alignment Default

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 01:34 AM PST

Re: separate envelope template does not open as I saved it.

Very unusual.

Try this.... Start a blank Word Processor document, click Tools then
Envelopes on the Word Processor page to open the envelope.

Get the envelope you want and alter it as desired.

With altered envelope still displayed, on File menu choose save, give it a
name and save it.

Close Works.

Open the envelope you just saved, did it open as you saved it?
