Getting fc5 working in lilo was the lastest OS I have

It seems using

Linux Command: time NO OUTPUT POSSIBLE

Posted: 14 May 2006 05:42 AM PDT

Hi again.

peter wrote: 

I don't have any objection to using the GNU time program (in fact I
think it's easier in the long run), but I would like to remind you that
the built-in bash version is scriptable as well.

I guess I was not clear in my other post. Whenever you execute a
script, a new shell is spawned (in non-interactive mode if possible),
and it exits upon execution. The bit I had about opening a new shell
and then logging out was in fact a kludge to use the `code' in
interactive mode.
 

The previous line says that when you execute your script (i.e., type
../the_script), the current shell should spawn a bash shell, which would
interpret the rest of the script.
 

So far so good.
 

Instead of this you could do:

exec 2>$2
time $1
 

At the end of the script, the spawned shell automatically exits
(instead of manually typing ^D).
 

Again, I'm not saying this is how you should approach this problem
(only that both methods are scriptable). I usually prefer using GNU
time (since it accepts many convenient options), but the advantage of
the bash built-in is that one can time somewhat more accurately by
removing a layer of indirection. Also GNU time is not able to time
other bash built-in commands without resorting to kludges.

How can I make the Finish date change based on the % complete Microsoft Project

How can I make the Finish date change based on the % complete Microsoft Project

How can I make the Finish date change based on the % complete

Posted: 01 Jul 2005 10:07 AM PDT

When you entered the tasks, did you enter the start and finish dates or did
you let Project calculate them for you? While we don't have enough
information about your exact situation to know if this is the problem in
your case, a very common cause of sucessor tasks not moving when their
prdecessors get shorter is that they have "Start No Earlier Than"
constraints on them. Those constraints will automatically be set if you
manually enter task start dates instead of letting Project freely calculate
them (as you should).

FYI, % Complete always refers to duration so it's impossible for a task that
is scheduled for 40 hours to be 80% complete after working only 16 hours.
By definition, that would make it 40% complete. What your engineer is
saying is that you overestimated the time required and that's why Dale's
suggestion is the correct method to follow.

I understand that theoretically there is a full compatibility between them,
but there seems to be some kind of bug.
I have had the same problem. Project saved in MSP2000 was working OK both in
2000 and 2003, until at a certain point (after one more save in MSP2000)
everyone using MSP2003 started missing the resources info from the file.

I even receive a message when opening the file stating "The operation cannot
be completed because the source file contains invalid project data or the
total number of rows would exceed the limit of 1.048.000 rown is a project".
No need to mention that the file works perfectly under MSP2000.

how do i show long duration but few hours per day in project

Posted: 30 Jun 2005 05:40 AM PDT

Setting few hours per day for resources can be done in the "resource sheet"
view under column units. You can decrease the % of units available for each
resource. However I don't think setting the hours for resources to be less
than the typical 8 hour day will address your primary problem on your title.
Long duration can be managed from a different angle. If you want to set a
task to take 20 days in duration but only have the resource work 2 hours per
day for the 20 days than you simply need to assign the resource to the task
and adjust the % percentage to 25%.

Baseline's

Posted: 30 Jun 2005 03:40 AM PDT

I think of them as being there to hold an audit trail in the event you have
to change baselines due to scope changes. There is one and only one
functional baseline, the record of the project plan that you intend to work
saved as a record before posting actual performance. If someone comes in
half-way through the project with a change that materials makes this a
different project, we should update the baseline with the new tasks. Before
saving the new basleine however, I want to archive a copy of the original
for comparison purposes, if for no other reason than to CYA 'cause I know
the boss is going to want an explanation of why we're slipping over budget.
So I copy the original over to one of those vacant baseline slots and then
save a corrected version into the "operational" baseline.

Copying resources

Posted: 29 Jun 2005 09:46 AM PDT

Terry,

Ok, so... are you saying that you would define a placeholder called "Java
Team 1" and drag it across several tasks (i.e. task 1 - task 10) and later
you would need to replace "Java Team 1" in Task 1 and Task 5 with John Doe
and Jane Doe but Task 2 and/or Task 4 would need James Doe and Jill Doe?
Therefore you are trying to use a "very" generic placeholder that can then
take the form of a mix group of resources and depending on which task you are
working with you may replace the placeholder with 1 and/or several other
resources? If this is indeed the case, I don't really know a way that you
can quickly do a global change, however the best I can offer is to define
multiple placeholders for all proposed team members (i.e.Java Developer 1,
Java Developer 2, Java Developer 3, Java Developer 4, etc.) and drags these
down. Once you get to another set of tasks where you need to use a different
combination of resources for the Java Team, you may use Java Developer 10,
Java Developer 11, etc. Then when you get ready to update the place holders
with real people's names, you can simply go back to the resource sheet and
update the place holders accordingly. Sorry, this is the best I can do for
now. Hope this helps.

Microsoft Word - mail merge to multiple documents

Microsoft Word - mail merge to multiple documents

mail merge to multiple documents

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 01:45 PM PDT

We currently use Office 2002 & 2003 and XP, and are upgrading to Office 2010 / Windows 7.

Our 3party software creates a mailmerge data source with multiple mail merge records, then does a loop to call the Mail merge template multilpe times (once for each record) using this command:

open \\\\twsaasagl\\wdscript\\template\\Mars_AWD.dot with ""

This opens the template once, runs the auto open with this code and merges the first record only:

Sub MAIN()
Dim OpenDocs As Integer
OpenDocs = Documents.Count

'Auto mail merge
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
   
        .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
        .SuppressBlankLines = True
        With .DataSource
            .FirstRecord = OpenDocs
            .LastRecord = OpenDocs
        End With
        .Execute Pause:=False
    End With
    
  End Sub

Then when the 3 party software calls the template again, it is already open, so it does not open again, then the autoopen code runs again, and merges the second record.  When the process is complete (up to 50 records), we have a button on the normal.dot tool bar that reads data from each document, prints the documents, saves with a file name found in the document and closes the document.

Problem:

With office 2010/window7, each time the third party software executes the

open \\\\twsaasagl\\wdscript\\template\\Mars_AWD.dot with "" code, a new instance of the template opens.  When the second instance (and all following) try to open the "this document is open for editing by another user" appears.  Even if I select "open read only , the code does not work because the could in the mail merge resets to 1 so the first record is merged over and over again.

I am aware of the gmayor solution for individual merge letters, however  it does not work because these are documents with header and footer, and the document must remain open after the merge, not automatically saved.

As an additional note, in the Office 2002 & 2003 if I change the code to open \\\\twsaasagl\\wdscript\\template\\Mars_AWD.dot with "winword.exe" , the same problem occurs.

Please help.

Anomalies with WORD 2007.

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 01:15 PM PDT

Dear Madam or Sir:

 

Is it my continued curse for having built my own PC, or is it simply that MS WORD is garbage? 

 

Since having tried to unsuccessfully install Office 2010 on my Windows 7 (Windows 8 is an atrocity to my mind) and having returned to Office 2007 within the past few weeks (May, 2014), I am now plagued by the following:

 

          ● The "Cut" function does not work whatsoever, and if I dare to attempt to use it for a "Paste"

             movement, I am totally SOL, as there is nothing "Pasted" and my original text is gone to the great

             beyond; and

 

          ● The "Copy & Paste" function in general is a hit-and-miss aggravation of the highest order,

             seemingly working only when it sees fit ("ghosts in the machine" indeed) to allocate a new text

             selection for copying purposes, but mostly only wanting to "copy" something that came from

             another previous work product.  This problem not only affects my document creation, but also

             anything that I wish to use with Mozilla Firefox for my "Hotmail" via the great and mighty

             "Outlook."

 

May anyone please be able to explain to me in a reasonable and intelligent manner as to why these anomalies may be happening and what should I do in order to correct/solve them?

 

Respectfully yours,

Creating sub-documents from parts of master document

I have a master document with a lot of parts included, but will often need to make documents from this document that do not include all headings (levels include 1 and 2) of the master. Each part is not long, but they are many. I am looking for a streamlined fashion to move terms over to shell documents prepared for different types of scenarios.

My best guess is using macros and may a user-form to move it over, but I'm new to the more advanced uses of word, especially macros. I'm familiar with Excel Macros, so I can see how it is possible there, but not here.

If I could get a direction on how best to go about this, I can look around for specifics as to more details, but any information on best direction would be great as I'm at a loss other than that guess above.

When Inserting a Cross Reference, sometimes Heading section is missing - Any work arounds?

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:04 AM PDT

When I go to insert a Cross Reference to a Heading section (in my case, I am using numbered headings, so I would normally insert the Heading Number, then the Heading Text, then the page number (sure wish Word would do this in one step)), there are instances where the Heading Section is not listed at all in the scroll down list.  Microsoft Word seems to somehow get confused, I see the headings above and below the one I'm trying to reference, but not the section in question.  Seems like a bug, but something that's been there forever (currently I'm on Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, latest available).  Are there any work-arounds to get the missing heading section appear on the insert Cross Reference list?

For example, assume I have sections 1, 2, 3:

1 Section 1

...

2 Section 2

....

3 Section 3

...

Sometimes, when I go to insert a Cross Reference to Section 2, the list will not show it.  I've tried rebuilding the Table of Contents (F9), etc., still not on the list.

Why can't I save my document as .docx in Word 2010?

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 06:51 PM PDT

I have several Word documents which make up the chapters of a report. When I bring the Word documents together they won't save as .docx. 

If I try to Save As and click save, the dialog box briefly disappears and then reappears. No error message, nothing. It just doesn't save. It will save fine as .doc or any other file type just not .docx.

The process I used to combine the documents is Insert>Object>Text from file. But I've found if I just copy and paste the contents from each of the Word documents I have the same problem.

This is not a pressing issue for me as I have discovered a workaround. It will save just fine with all the chapters if I first save the empty document BEFORE I add all the chapters of the report.

This really shouldn't be necessary though. If it were a one off issue I wouldn't care, but it has happened many times of different reports I have put together.

Does anyone have any idea how this happens or if it can be avoided?

Cheers

Josh

I've found that when I add a comment to the source location of the StyleRef field (in the body of the document), an extra space displays in the StyleRef field, which is located in the header. Example: If the source location in the body of the document is the word "Guide" and I add a comment that is anchored on just the letter d, a space displays in the StyleRef field, located in the header, immediately after the d. The space deletes when the comment is deleted. What causes this problem and why? Is there anything that can be done to stop it from occurring?

The Print Preview panel in Word does not show an accurate preview of multiple-pages-per-sheet?

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 04:17 PM PDT

I'm trying to print a very large (many pages) landscape-oriented document. To save on paper, I want to print 4-pages-per-sheet. When I select this option from the bottom of the Print dialog, the print preview area shows the same as it did with 1-page-per-sheet, instead of a preview of the actual sheet with 4 pages on it.

This is very frustrating! I have no idea how this is going to look when I print... what's the point of having a preview at all, if it doesn't show what's going to be on the sheet?

In addition, when I print -- it puts the 4 landscape pages very small on a portrait sheet, instead of larger on a landscape sheet. Printing 2-pages-per-sheet put two landscape pages side by side on a landscape sheet. Either option is the worst possible choice... and I have no idea how to change this, because I can't tell what changes are happening when I make them, because the preview doesn't work!

Please fix this

Thanks,

Seth

I am struggling with writing my first letters as I simply cannot work out how to use the page.  It is most frustrating as the bottom paragraph ends up on the second page and I simply cannot work out how to decrease the footer. Please advise.

Diffent color for tasks

Hello Vivek,

True, but I forgot to specify that it's possible to do that with a VBA
procedure.

changing file titles in print box?

Posted: 28 Jun 2005 09:52 PM PDT

WD, your assumption in this case is not correct. If you set the Title
in the Properties for the file and save the file, it will save that
title. If you do a Save As, then it will have the same Title value as
the original file, so you would have to change it in the new file if
you wanted something different, but it does not revert to some default
value each time you close the file.

Publish All Information appears to not work

It would be a lot easier just to Republish all assignments ratherr than doing
them one at a time.

If you trust that the actuals in the plan are accurate, then you can select
the checkbox to overwrite actuals in resources' timesheeets. That will
ensure that the project is in synch with the timesheets.

If you are not sure that the actuals are correct, then do not check the box.
When you later accept updates from your resources, their timesheet entries
will overwrite the actuals in the plan.

I know that I'm going about this more then a bit backwards, but
unfortanatly, I don't have the means to get the in-depth training I need. Due
to limits on time and personal finances, my training has been what I can
gleam from posts and boards on-line, a l"Show me!" book from the library, and
one "free-trial" tutorial. :-) If only it were a perfect world... I really

Default font for new task

Posted: 28 Jun 2005 07:10 AM PDT

I was unable to try the detect and repair, since it was asking for the
install CD and our network team has it.
I did create a new file and imported my old information and everything seems
to work fine. In this new file, I did try changing the Text Styles for all
and see how it reacted when I added a new task. This new task followed the
rules I assigned. So my old file must have been corrupted, since it did not
do this.

Thanks for the help.

Trying to mirror a task for a summary

Martin,
Project is a scheduling application while Excel is a spreadsheet
application. Project works primarily with time phased activities while
Excel works primarily with numbers and equations. So with Excel, it
makes a lot of sense that the contents of one spreadsheet cell can be
made equal to the contents of another. Basically everything is either
data or an equation. With Project there is little reason to have to
tasks with identical parameters - it just isn't necessary and depending
on the end goal there are much better ways to get there.

Given that, you can have multiple identical tracking tasks in Project
and there is a method to do that, although I don't necessarily recommend
it. However, if you are hell bent on a duplicate task here is what you
can do.
1. Establish the secondary task with a "SS" relationship to the primary
task.
2. Copy the contents of the primary task Duration field.
3. Select the Duration field of the secondary task.
4. Go to Edit/Paste Special, select Paste Link and hit "OK".
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the Resource Names and Work fields.

The secondary task will now track the primary task but fair warning,
Paste Links are prone to corruption.

Now, if we have a more complete picture of your end goal, we likely can
suggest better ways to achieve it (e.g. appropriate filtering, master
file with subprojects, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Links

Posted: 27 Jun 2005 10:48 AM PDT

I don't believe that dialog box refers to Master Projects. The "Links
between projects" option turns on/off the display of cross project
links created by linking individual tasks between different projects.
I've never seen it appear automatically with a shared resource pool.

Jitesh,
Sorry, I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you but I'm still in the mist.
If your project has "multiple entries", (and I'm not real clear on
exactly what that means, i.e. is Project 1-task 1 the same as Project
2-task 1, etc.?), why wouldn't you want to show task 3 from both
Projects given that tasks 1 & 2 are 100% complete? Also, are we to make
the assumption that all tasks are in sequence and that there are no
parallel paths (because real life plans are rarely that simple and
orderly)?

Making the assumption that your projects are unusually simple, on first
look a filter (simple or compound) probably won't work simply because
there is no good way to get the date information into the filter. For
example, if all tasks are current and on schedule, the "Today" function
could potentially be used to filter the next Finish date, but if the
plan is ahead of or behind schedule, the current date is meaningless. At
least this is my assessment.

My approach would probably be to use VBA. I would filter out all
complete tasks and then examine all other tasks and determine which one
(or ones) are next in line for completion. That task or tasks could be
identified with a flag and then filtered.

So, as simple as your request may seem, the solution, (given a full
definition of "next incomplete task"), requires the use of VBA. And,
I'll be happy to help you with that, but more questions need to be
answered.

Hi,

I'm sure there's a misunderstanding.
Task calendars only affect the selected tasks.

VBA to copy an entire project to another project

Posted: 26 Jun 2005 05:08 PM PDT

Hi,

Well, the alternative is to list everything you want to copy.
For resources, apply resource sheet and all resources filter, select all,
copy, paste in the new file
Likewise for tasks through task sheet
If you have to copy views that is thriugh OrganizeerMoveItem.

Export to HTML or Excel

Posted: 26 Jun 2005 04:25 PM PDT

For the HTML part, you would have to modify the HTML code after
exporting it. I don't think you can set font and other options
before-hand. If you know HTML, it's easy. If you don't, well, the
Visual QuickStart guide is pretty good! ;-)

Summary Task Calculation for hours

Posted: 26 Jun 2005 03:13 PM PDT

In article <com>,
"Deborah" <microsoft.com> wrote:
 


Deborah,
I suspect there may be confusion of Duration hours versus Work hours. It
sounds like what you are viewing is Duration. In Project, Duration at a
Summary Line is the time difference (minutes, hours, days, etc.) between
the earliest Start date of the subtasks under the summary and the latest
Finish date of the subtasks. On the other hand, the Work field is the
time allocated to actually accomplishing each task by one or more
assigned resources. At the Summary Line, Work of all subtasks IS added
numerically.

If a misunderstanding of the above is NOT the case and the Duration span
of the Summary Line is not consistent with the subtasks, one of several
things can be at play. First, is Calculation set for automatic
(Tools/Options/Calculation tab)? Second, are you absolutely sure the
tasks you are viewing are all subtasks of the Summary Line you are
viewing? Third, are you in fact looking at "Actual fields" (Actual
Duration, Actual Work, etc.) instead of the basic fields (Duration,
Work, etc.)?

Hope this helps.

Changing text field name in a master

Posted: 24 Jun 2005 03:06 PM PDT

How did you rename it?

This is how you should rename a field.
Do this.
Open the master project.
Go to the tools menu
Select Customize / fields
Find the text2 field
Click the "rename" button
Enter the new name.
Click OK until you are back where you should be.

It works for me.
