change name of document on spreadsheet

Hi idalupino,

Are you trying to change the name of a chart in your spreadsheet or change
the spread sheet name?

For a Chart it appears you have not created a chart in your spreadsheet else
RENAME CHART would display in dark color.

For spreadsheet name, on File menu choose Save As..... type desired
name......

Or

Locate your spreadsheet file | Right click | choose Rename.....

Formular-Cell Word Counting

Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:29 AM PDT

Hi yopopa2,

Here is how I accomplish a similar task.

In a vacant column I use a IF formula to display a (1) if column A1:A20 have
the word chicken or fish, then I sum the vacant column to total all the ones
(1) displayed.

In my example below the formula for vacant column C is...........

=IF(A1="Chicken",1,IF(A1="Fish",1,""))

Formula reads if A1=Chicken display a 1 else if A1=Fish display a 1 else
display nothing.

Fill the formula down to cover all required rows.

Column B Row 14 formula reads as =SUM(C1:C13).

A B C
1 Fish 1
2 Chicken 1
3 Deer
4 Chicken 1
5 Honey
6 Fish 1
7 Chicken 1
8 Rabbit
9 Fish 1
10 Bird
11 Fish 1
12
13
14Total 7

Note: column C can be hidden by setting it's width to zero.

Opening a Word document

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 09:29 AM PDT


Sir Michael --

That did the trick. I had gone that route a couple of days ago, but I
simply opened the document using Word. One also has the choice to Set as
Default, which I had not selected, and this enables her to have Word open
Word documents coming in with emails, as you noted.

Many thanks for your suggestion!

Insert Object - CSV file

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:54 AM PDT

Hello there,

I am trying to insert a CSV file in my word 2010 document.

I have tried it using both

'Insert Object - Create from File - Display as Icon' and

'Paste Special'

However in both scenarios, word is inserting CSV file as xls file - which messes up formatting of first column.

Here is the content of my CSV file:

"FILENAME";"DESCR"
"MyFile.pdf";"This is a sample pdf file"

When I try to open the CSV file after inserting it as an object in my word document -

Quotes goes missing for first column :-)

Can anyone please guide how can I insert my CSV file as text file which opens in notepad.

Thank you!

How to reset Column Defaults in Word 2010?

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:21 AM PDT

Very often, I use Word 2010's columns feature to reformat text into two columns, usually because I find it easier to read large quantities of text in columns. 

Each time I do this, I use Page Layout|Columns|More Columns to reset how the columns appear in two particulars:  First, I reset the space between columns from 0.5" to 0.2" and then I select "Line between."  For me, this is the optimal 2 column layout. 

However, I cannot find an option of that screen to make these the default settings for "Two Columns" (the easy choice on the dropdown list from Page Layout|Columns). 

Because I do this essentially every time I use columns, it seems to me there should be a way I can have Word 2010 simply apply these as the defaults when "Two Columns" is selected under "Page Layout|Columns."  But I cannot figure out how to do that.  On the screen presented under Page Layout|Columns|More (where I make these changes), I find no option for making these the default formatting choices for 2 columns.  I also tried looking under File|Options|Display and File|Options|Advanced, but didn't find a place to make these default changes. 

Is there a way I can set my Word 2010 so that, when I select "Page Layout|Columns|Two Columns" the two columns will be set with 0,2" spacing and a line between them?

Thanks,

Paul

Word freezes when using Find/Replace while connected via WiFi but NOT when connected by network cable. Similar problem with Outlook.

Posted: 24 May 2014 10:20 AM PDT

This is just so bizarre.  I have a Lenovo laptop.  Just 2 years old and pretty powerful.  I do high-end CAD work so it's a powerful laptop.  32G RAM, etc. Using Office 2013 on Windows 7.

When I am plugged in via an Ethernet cable to the Internet, Word and all of office works beautifully. As soon as I am either offline or using a WiFi connection, Word freezes up when using the Find/Replace command.  This doesn't seem to happen with any other dialog box.

I have tried with an existing file and with a new document. I have tried with the laptop on a power source and off.

Similarly, I find that when I try to open Outlook when on WiFi, it also freezes. In both cases if I run Word or Outlook in safe mode, they work just fine.  I can find and replace.

This seems to have started when I created a new family mail account at outlook.com so I could have a family calendar. I have had a personal live.com account for a long time and never saw a problem there. Can there be an issue with Exchange ActiveSync? Does Word continually try to connect to my account?

While safe mode is work around, it isn't great if I want to be productive.  I work from home so I can plug in in my studio.  But if I want to work outside on a nice sunny day, everything becomes problematic.

Is this because my Ethernet connection is super fast but my WiFi is not (like when I am out of town and using a Verizon Jetpack for a connection)?  My wireless adapter's driver is up-to-date.

Anyone have a clue?

aligning radio buttons

My inserted radio button has its bottom aligned with the line it is in, instead of center aligned.

When having inserted a radio button, in design mode, right-clicking the radio button, choosing OptionButton Object > Edit, I get ancrosshair which I thought, indicated the ability to move the object around freely, but when I try to do so, the moved object jumps back to its original position after some seconds.

Another problem is the alignment of the radio button itself and its text.

Customizations lost

Posted: 24 May 2014 08:25 AM PDT

Just recently, I have realized that Word no longer opens up the way I have set up (Body Text, 12 pt font, web view display), but the default way. Also, my tweaks of Headings (1, 2, & 3) are gone—back to default. The first thing I noticed was that a macro to print just one copy of the current document, on my QAT, is no longer working. I get an error message that it cannot be found.

 

OK what do I do now? Is it possible that my template has been deleted or corrupted? Or what?????

***How to create a FORMATTING template for Microsoft Word 2013?***

Hello there,

I am formatting a bunch of large Word documents, and am at the last stage - changing the format, i.e. font, indents, bold/italics, etc...

I have to do this for all 9 HUGE files. 

==> Is there a way for me to edit one piece of my work and then use that format template for the rest of the documents? That will save me DAYS of work.

So for example can I edit one half of my document with the exact indents, boldness, font size, etc, manually, and apply that to the other documents so I can just copy/paste for example into that format?

Thank you,

How do we give SpellCheck corrections or additions?

Posted: 24 May 2014 04:59 AM PDT

I love Microsoft Answers, and appreciate ho ready so many people are to help when people get stuck or have questions.

Sometimes, however, you (I) want to give feedback that doesn't need a whole discussion,as it is something that has been missed by the programmers and just needs adding in - after evaluation of course.

For example (this is just one of many I could submit): the word "undwear" is incorrect, but SpellCheck seems unaware of the correction which is "underwear".

I don't believe this is a case where use of the custom dictionary is appropriate, and would rather let the SpellCheck team know about this so they can take appropriate action.

The 2013 version of SpellCheck is significantly better than previous versions in the detection of errors, even if I don't always agree with some of the suggested corrections (95% of which are spot on). I do quite a bit of CopyEditing and this latest version is a pleasure to use, apart from some really irritating technical glitches.

I would love to be able to contribute to SpellCheck becoming even better.

Any thoughts?

dwm memory leak with Office 2013 on a dual monitor system

Posted: 24 May 2014 01:06 AM PDT

When I have a window from the office 2013 suite active on my secondary monitor, it causes dwm.exe to use far more memory than it should, and when working with large files (eg, a 60-page report or a 60-slide presentation), this often leads to windows detecting low memory and then automatically disabling aero. I notice that this issue only occurs while the document is stationary - if I move it around on the screen or scroll up/down within a document/slide show, the memory usage will drop considerably (to close to the base usage, around 50MB) before rising again.

Is there a known fix for this issue (apart from just not using office on my secondary monitor - I often have two office windows open at once etc.)?

I have 8gb RAM installed on a system with Windows 7 64x, and aero is disabled when dwm.exe reaches about 1.5GB ram usage.

Changing system table formats

Posted: 23 May 2014 07:56 PM PDT

I want to link data from Access to a Word document with a certain table format.

The problem is that I can only get system-defined table formats for my table.  None of these work for my situation.  And, every time I update the link, the table reverts to the system defined table format even if I change the format manually.

I tried defining my own table format (but it won't save as a system format and hence I cannot use it in the "Insert Database/Table AutoFormat" window).

I tried redefining a system-defined table format (but it does not seem to save those changes).

Is there a way around this problem?

Footer "blue dotted line" won't move down in Word document

Posted: 23 May 2014 05:04 PM PDT

I have a pleading (ruled and numbered paper) and I cannot get it to type to a certain point at the foot (line 28).  No matter what I change (using the ruler or the margins or page layout alignment (top) or "footer from bottom" measurements), nothing will get that blue dotted "footer" line to move down.  The footer itself will move down, but that does not help me type past the point I need.  Somebody did set up the caption of the pleading with columns and section break.  I usually just use a table.  I am wondering if this is the problem but it would be a huge deal to change it from columns to a table as everything in the documents starts to go wonky when I do that.

Does anyone know how to get that darn blue dotted line to move down with the footer text like it normally does?

Thanks.

Any smart way to chang text after : (colon) from italic to normal ?

Posted: 23 May 2014 03:56 PM PDT

Hi,

Considering the following example:

SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010).

Is there any way to change "An Alienated Life" from italic to normal using any smart way?

At the end, just Institutional World: should be italic. Example:

SCOTT, P. Institutional World: An Alienated Life. New York: Penguin (2010).

The issue is that I have 20 pages which sums around 300 references like that and I would like to select the pages and run some command, a macro, a smart find/replace that somehow could identify=>

1- if there is text in italic

2- if this text has a colon : in between the words in italic

3- then change what is in italic and after the colon : to normal text

Such kind of magic would change my life :)

Many thanks!

MS Word VBA to insert copied portion of a document below the current page

Posted: 23 May 2014 03:53 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a macro that copies a body of text and places it into a new section at the "bottom" of the current document.  (See SAMPLE CODE below.)

The macro is connected to a Macro Button that is part of a locked MS Word 2010 macro enabled template.

I am attempting to create a similar macro that will copy a body of text and place into a new section "directly below" the section that contains the macro button.  Can I modify the existing macro to do that?

I assume I need a way to have the macro set the insertion point below the macro button so that the page will paste in the proper location.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

Bob,

Thanks for the incite. I wasn't sure about the MSP files, and how they
applied to MSIs. I'm still curious why the installation didn't go very well
via Group Policy. I'll start fresh and try again.

I wonder if this is the first step by MS to move away from .msi's for
software deployment?

Transfering software to a new PC

Posted: 27 Nov 2006 01:11 PM PST

As long as the Office Suite is not an OEM version, uninstalling and
reinstalling is not a problem. You MAY have to call MS to activate depending
on how long it is since the previous activation. You will be prompted with
the correct telephone number when you get to the activation part of the
install: it is a locale specific number. This has never been a problem for
me. You can temporarily skip activation and use Office 50 times before it
shuts down to reduced usage when you will have to call MS.

If it is an OEM version, it is non-transferrable.

If this does not work, try reading an earlier post of mine which may

Office 2007 Setup will not continue

Posted: 24 Nov 2006 06:37 PM PST

Hi D.T.,

There is a MS Knowledge Base article on that error message that includes many of the more common items that need to be removed.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927222/en-us?FR=1

The issue with Nero isn't part of that particular error.

To all:

I was successful finally in getting Office 2007 to install on my Vista
Ultimate machine. I ended up using the Daemon Virtual CD-ROM utility and had
to uninstall the Expressions Beta.

I will try re-burning the ISO images to CD-ROM using a slower write speed on
my Nero Ultra. I had just about come to the same conclusion as others: that
Nero running on Vista has some issues writing discs reliably.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I wish that Microsoft would give us some
additional source of information when they display error messages with
cryptic phrases telling you to uninstall "associated technologies." If they
know what the "technologies" are, why can't they post a KB article telling us
what to remove? How many hours have been wasted by the collective community
trying to get this install to work, when a little official help could have
lowered everyone's frustration level greatly? I know the Community is a
great place to come for assistance, but there are so many strategies proposed
by so many users, it can be confusing and time-consuming to sort through to
find the ones that may meet your particular situation.

Just a thought...

Groove activation and Office Ultimate

Argh! I hope that's not the case this time. Espicially w/ all the problems
going on w/ activiation.

Also, I did find Office Professional Plus 2003. Quite a bit more apps than
the regular professional. Found on MSDN.

Thanks.

Using Office 2003 and Office 2000

Posted: 24 Nov 2006 10:05 AM PST

Thanks for the help. With the fact that our OB 2003 is not the "upgrade"
version... If we uninstall OB 2003, install O2kPro, and reinstall OB 2003,
will OB 2003 automatically "overwrite" the word, excel, outlook, and all
other pertinent components of O2kPro? Basically, after uninstalling OB 2003,
should we install our retail version of O2kPro (in full), before reinstalling
OB 2003, or install O2kPro without the word, excel, and outlook components?
Since the two versions of office will be in different folders, would we not
end up with two installations of word, excel, and outlook?

By chance, does your spell checker in Microsoft Word automatically correct
"Theo" with "theo"? If so, the spell checker in Project uses the spell
check information specified in Word. Let us know.

Resource Allocation & Resource Sheet...

Posted: 16 Jun 2005 12:40 PM PDT

I believe part of my problem was that I was not realizing that the
total hours for the task are computed when the first resource is
assigned (at least that's what it's looking like to me). Still stumped
on why the time increased... The time / task relationship is what is
giving me the hardest time...

I used a 24hr calendar for a task, and then assigned a resource with a
10hr schedule, no weekends, to it... I was hoping that the task
duration would increase since that resource could not work on the
weekends. Is there a way to accomplish that or do I need to change
each task's calendar to coincide with the allocated resources?

Same Resource in Master Schedule?

Posted: 16 Jun 2005 10:05 AM PDT

Excellent. My problem was that I set up my individual projects before
setting up my master. I think that the best way to go about this is to:
1. Create the master schedule with all resources.
2. Create the sub schedule
3. Assign that the sub schedule use the resources from the master

It's all so simple now. Thanks for your help!

Can I disable the automatic changing of Duration?

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 10:15 PM PDT

Jumping in, I can 't think of any circumstance at all. There's the joke
that says when you interview a candidate for an accounting job, the one to
hire is the guy that answers "What would you liike it to be?" when you ask
him "What's 2 plus 2?" In the real world I would never, ever, under any
circumstance want a program to tell me 2+2 is 5 or that when working an 8
hour a day, 5 day a week calendar there are 24 hours of duration in a task
that starts July 1st and ends August 1st. Neither is mathematically valid -
they're just plain wrong - and one of the reasons for using a program like
MS Project is to short-circuit the human propensity for self-delusion. A
useful program is one that stubbornly refuses to give me wrong answers no
matter how badly I want them .

Phil,
Are you saying, you can't export hours? If so, I don't understand. I
thought you were the one running the utility and if so, you should be
able to export hours, days or whatever.

Just for reference a 470 line schedule is not large but 140 resources on
that size schedule is rather unusual. Did I read your post correctly
that the difference between the timescale values shown in Project and
those exported to Excel is a NEGATIVE 700 man-days? What does the
statement, ". . .the error's are within approx 18 of the activities"
mean?

In your "fix" process what view are you cutting/clearing/pasting
resource name data? And what exactly does that do to "fix" what is
exported by the utility?

Your explanation provides more information but I'm afraid it raises more
questions than it answers. I understand that describing a problem that
is very clear to you isn't always easy to relate to someone else.
Sometimes it's a "forest versus trees" kind of thing - you see the trees
but all I see is a forest. Perhaps a more detailed explanation or a
sample of what you are getting would be of more help.

Shortest possible duration

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 08:42 AM PDT

As Jan said ... But also an aside the task types such as "fixed work" or
"fixed duration" really only have meaning when you are editing the
assignm,ents of resources already on a task. The magic formula is
Work=Duration * Units. It has a constant term, an independent variable that
you are editing, and a dependent variable that Project is calculating. Task
type simply tells Project which term should be held constant when you edit
one of the other terms, thus indirectly telling it when you edit, say, a
resource's units whether it should recompute the work or the duration for
you.

How do I use customized fields in reports?

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 08:18 AM PDT

My mistake, Evie. In the Cash Flow report, you don't get to choose
custom fields. You'd have to figure out how to get what you want in one
of the fields available in the report, like Cost. Or use a different
report which does allow you to select a table.

Setting tasks to fix duration moves the start & finish dates

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 02:57 PM PDT

The only controls you have on the critical path are indirect controls where
the path is affected by the decisions you have made regarding task
sequencing and their durations if, and that's a very big "if," you can
actually control the duration. IF a painter can apply paint at a maximum
rate of 10 square feet of wall per hour, you have 250 square feet of wall to
paint, and only one painter to do it with, that pretty well puts that task
duration out of your control - it's going to be mighty close to 25 man-hours
of effort required and the duration will be 25 working hours if the painter
is fully committed and more than that if he only can devote part of his
energy to that specific task.

As Mike said, there is no difference in deleting a task on the critical path
from deleting one that's not on the critical path - you simply delete it.
Adding a task is equally simple but it may or may not end up a critical task
or on the critical path. IMHO, task linkages are dictated by the nature of
the physical processes involved in creating the task deliverables. Erecting
walls is a predecessor to installing rafters not because we want to
structure the work that way but rather because the law of gravity doesn't
give us the option of setting the rafters in midair and then stuffing the
walls in under them later. Another rule is that all tasks in the project
will have at least one predecessor and one successor, except for the start
and the end milestones. If a task has no other direct successor, it will
still have the finish milestone linked to it. When your project is
structured like that you will find there are usually multiple paths leading
from the start to the end - one of them will be the longest of the
alternatives and that is the critical path by definition. If the task
you're adding belongs in that sequence due to the nature of the deliverable
inputs it requires and the outputs it produces, it will add to the critical
path. If it doesn't fit into that sequence of operations according to the
nature of the physical process itself, then it doesn't add to the critical
path. That's why I say you don't choose it - the structure of the project
is pretty well something that is dictated by the nature of the work
processes and as a PM part of our job is to discover the most efficient way
of getting it done. Notice the operative word is "discover." It is a
process of discovery, not an imposition of our will. Our will comes into
play when we're defining the goals but once we decide what we want to
achieve, we then discover the best way of achieving them.
