First line indent in Word for iPad

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 12:25 PM PDT

Is there an option for first line indent in Word for iPad?  This seems like basic functionality that should be available, but I can't find it.  iPad doesn't have a tab key, so there really seems to be no way to indent other than hitting spaces repeatedly which would be a huge step backward....like to the typewriter age!

Thanks,

Tim

How to copy styles from an old, completed document to a new, empty document?

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 12:05 PM PDT

I recently published a book, and I am starting on another one. I would like to copy the styles from the final edited manuscript of the first book into a new, blank document in which I will begin to write the next book. I want to do this because the final edited manuscript of the first book contains all of the publisher's style specifications (American Psychological Association style), which would be excruciating to re-create manually in the new document.

What is the easiest way to reliably do this?

Thank you for your help.

Word 2007 'ghost' page

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 03:12 AM PDT

H,

I am running Windows 7 32bit with Office 2007 Student.

Whenever I open a saved Word file a second 'ghost' blank Word file opens as well. This second file is a blank document and the page and tool-bar are 'greyed' out. The tabs on the tool-bar do operate but that is all, the tool-bar itself is frozen.

Closing this 'ghost' file has no impact on the already open document file and closing that file has no impact on the 'ghost' file, that remains open. 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Unicode Input in Microsoft Office (Word and Onenote) Becomes Boxes

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 09:49 PM PDT

Hello,

I am having issues inputting math symbols via the ALT+[Numbers] method. After I select an appropriate font (Cambria Math) and proceed to enter my key strokes for the symbol, I get a box instead of the symbol I need.

I can enter the exact same symbols via Insert - Symbol from the menu bar but I prefer to use key strokes. These key strokes work in NotePad and Firefox. The key strokes fail to work when I use any Microsoft Office product or the File Explorer.

Some sample symbols:

Alt +2200: ∀

Alt +2295: ⊕

Alt +2227: ∧

Any guidance is appreciated.

Ordinal 294 error accessing Internet Explorer and Word.

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 09:27 PM PDT

Hi everyone. I am having troubles with my computer. I have the sims installed and when I go to launch it, I get the following message:

The ordinal 294 could not be located in the dynamic link library

C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ieframe.dll

Now, I have figured out a way to play the sims with this message. This is not the problem anymore. I have tried to open internet explorer as well as Microsoft word today and neither worked. I am assuming it has something to do with this message as both worked fine a month or so ago (before the message popped up) and this is the first time i have tried either one since. Is there any "quick" fix for this? I would take my laptop in as it is covered under warranty but they will take 10-14 days and I have an online class with the final coming up in two weeks and I need my laptop now. I can take it in after the test but need it to work for now. I have windows 8. There is also problems with the user profile service everytime my computer goes to update and I have to reset the computer back to a date that it worked (what its called isnt coming to me at the moment). Now thats another problem all on its own and im just looking to fix this ordinal so I can have microsoft word back. I have office 365 that I pay monthly for and yes, my account is still being charged. When I go to open word, nothing happens. It then gives me the option of opening in safe mode and then does the "windows is searching for the solution" but never finds one. Any suggestions would be great.

Word for iPad Crashes on Edits

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 05:53 PM PDT

I am using Word for iPad on the latest iOS on my iPad 4. I have numerous documents originally created in Word for Mac that now reside in OneDrive. I have noticed on many documents that when I perform an edit to the text, the app crashes. Actually, not only does the app crash, but it crashes the entire iOS! 

I have reinstalled the app and tried closing all apps but Word for iPad. Sometimes this happens when I am trying to paste text, selecting a point in a sentence and typing, and hitting return to make a new line in an outline.

It should be noted that all the documents with this problem are using styles for outlining. Heading 1-7 provide the outline I., A. 1). etc. The last crash that just occurred happened when I selected a point at the end of a sentence in the outline and then hit return to put it on a new line. It crashed the app and crashed the OS.

UPDATE: Ok, I was just able to reproduce the crash. It occurred when I selected a portion of a sentence in a Styled Outline and hit return to move the remaining text to a new line. It crashed the app and the OS. Illustrated below:

THIS IS WHAT MY DOCUMENT LOOKS LIKE:

I. <Heading Style 1>

   A. <Heading Style 2>

       1. <Heading Style 3> Here is an example line of text. [**I PLACED MY CURSOR HERE AND PRESSED RETURN TO PUT THE REMAINING TEXT ON A NEW LINE. THE APP AND IOS CRASHED**] Another example of a line of text.

I hope that someone can help me. As of now, the Word for iPad app is unusable to me. I was able to duplicate the crash with the "Send Crashes to Microsoft" setting to "On" in the General Settings. It occurred around 7:30pm MST, 6/4/14. Thanks.

How can I assign a key to a macro that is already used for something I don't need?

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:47 PM PDT

How can I assign a key to a macro that is already used for something I don't need? I want to use F2 and F3 for two very short macros, ones that I created and used in XP, but I can't get them to work in Windows 8 because those keys are already assigned to things I don't use.  Can I delete their defaults and make them what I want them to do?  What I'm trying to do is make highlighted text red when I hit F2 and F3 makes highlighted text black. I'm using Office/Word 2013 with Windows 8 on a desk top.  I know I could put it in the Quick Access Toolbar but I prefer a keystroke.  I also tried Alt+b for black but that did not work either.  That does not show up as being assigned but it seem to be formatting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

WINDOWS 7...LINE SPACING

Word 2007 does not update fields or linked data when printing

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:03 PM PDT

At one time, Word 2007 would automatically update fields and linked data. I set up a large collection of documents that would pull information from other documents and from Word's document properties, and having the updates performed automatically was a great time saver.

A few years ago, both options stopped working, so now, every time I want to print a set of documents, which often include more than a hundred files, I have to manually update the fields.

Our IT department said this is a known problem associated with a Windows service pack, but I'm not sure.Is that true? Is there some way to restore those functions?

I believe these are the correct settings:

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.

Analyze Toolbar With Project 2002?

Posted: 29 Jun 2005 08:55 AM PDT

Turns out I didn't have the proper admin rights to view this (and other
features) of Project. Seems kind of odd that the feature would be disabled
to certain users, but perhaps my account was never set up properly to begin
with.? Anyway, just wanted to share my answer with anyone else experiencing
this problem.

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,

 

Gregory Falasz

converted from PDF to Word

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 12:06 PM PDT

I am working with a document that was converted from PDF format.

The document looks like a table but each piece of text is in a text box. Is there a way to convert this to a Word table and have the format remain the same? I know how to remove the text boxes and I've also tried converting them to frames but no matter what I do, I keep running into a problem with retaining the format.

Converting Word to PDF with List of Tables - Captions linked to previous location

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 10:20 AM PDT

Not sure if anybody else has run into this problem, but when I save a .docx to .pdf, the links from my table of contents and list of tables are embedded into the file, but the links for my list of figures are all referencing the original .docx file.  Is there a way to save in .pdf and have the figure captions embedded into the file?

Word Opening View

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 09:59 AM PDT

Word opens in a view that Microsoft thinks is good, but is irritating me. I don't know the technical name but it seems to be in some type of reading view, and is whatever the default that Word created. I have to click View and then Edit Document to get where I can work on any document. Is there a universal way to stop this? It doesn't matter how I save the document, I have the change views every time I open any document. Microsoft might think was a good idea, but I find it a waste of time and extra effort to work on my documents.

Word Style Strong Missing From Style Gallery

insert into outlook word files sections with markups

Creating sub-documents from parts of master document

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 07:34 AM PDT

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.

Thanks for the help!

"Conditional formatting" in Word? (no tables)

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 06:05 AM PDT

I have a very long chat log in a document. For each person's response, there is one line with the time and name, and the next line is the response. I would like to indent all the response paragraphs; in other words, every paragraph that does not start with a number. Is it possible to perform something similar to conditional formatting in Excel or tables in Word, but to paragraphs?

Can't access my Office 2003 documents

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 04:43 AM PDT

Since changes in early April 14, I am no longer able to access my Office 97 - 2003 documents.  I currently use Office 2007.  When I try to open them, I get a message telling me to disable the registry policy setting, plus a reference 922850.  I've tried to follow this up but can't find details on how to do this.  I imagine that I need to find a way of accessing the 2003 docs, then rewrite them as 2007 files.  Help ... I need my files!! 

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.

Table Problem

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 02:22 AM PDT

I would like to use a table to create a exercise program card, everything is fine until I try to paste a picture of the exercise in to one of the table spaces, the cell (is that the correct term ?) then expands to accommodate the picture, which then affects the rest of the table, ideally I would like the cell that I am going to paste the picture in, to be fixed so that I can adjust the picture size to suit the table, is this possible?

I just want to know why you charge for this program? I thought it came free with your computer, and just updated itself.

Test documents' readability

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 07:52 PM PDT

I found the options to test the readability already. (For Word 2007, you right click the button Spelling and then choose Customize.... to see the table). But the option "Show readability statistics" is hidden, which means I cannot click on because it turns grey, unenabling me to click on. How can I enable it? 

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

Spaces display in styleRef target when comment is added to styleRef source. Why?

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 04:35 PM PDT

I'm using Word 2007. I'm working in a document that uses the StyleRef field to copy text from the body of document to its header. 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

page layout MS Office 2013

Posted: 03 Jun 2014 03:59 PM PDT

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.
