Microsoft Word - Outlook being used by another program

Microsoft Word - Outlook being used by another program

Outlook being used by another program

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 04:27 PM PDT

I have been trying to mail merge.  I opened only word, no other programs are running after restart.  Set up mail merge again.  Clicked send and nothing happens. I get an error message saying another program s using outlook.  Since it was not open I am confused.  

I have used MS Office for years. I made the mistake of buying a windows 8 machine and office 365.

Any suggestions.

Copying a Chart in Excel 2010 and pasting in Word 2010 as a picture

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 02:10 PM PDT

I have a pivot chart in Excel that has blanks instead of zeros in the data (for Count values). The line graph in Excel 2010 displays these as zero points (yes, I have seen ways to get around this in Excel to display the zeros - I don't have this problem). However when I paste this chart into Word as a 'picture', the image is not what you see in Excel - the zero values/lines are missing, that is the problem. What you see is not what you get when you paste as a 'Picture'!

2 copies per page multiple pages

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 01:57 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a 365 page document and I want to print 2 copies of it.

I need to print last page first and 2 of the same page per A4 sheet.

I will then have it guillotined and bound.

I am using Word 2003.

How do I do this?

This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked - in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 01:52 PM PDT

I upgraded to Word 2013 recently and am beginning to regret that decision.  Every time I turn around I find something that's broken / has changed / is screwed up when I convert my documents to Word 2013 format.  Here's the latest:

I have a master document that contains 5 linked subdocuments that was converted to '13 format from '10.  I can edit the material in the master doc (title page, front matter) just fine.  When I try to edit anything associated with the subdocs (header or footer on the subdoc pages, for example) I get "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked".  Any ideas?

Also, is anyone aware of a list of the things that break / need to be re-done when converting docs from '10 to '13?  I'd much rather have a list to refer to than keep stumbling over these things.

Thanks,

Steve

One Click New File Open Default; Suppress Blog Option

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 01:51 PM PDT

When I do a "file -> new" in Word 2007, it opens a page giving me the option to open either a blank word document or a blog post.  I never need a blog post. 

How do I prevent word from offering the blog post option?  When I do a "file -> new" I want word to instantly open a blank word document, with no intervening steps or clicks.

Strange Open File Behavior

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 12:36 PM PDT

Word 2013 (32 Bit), Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit) Sometimes I want to open a file when I already have one or more files open. Simple enough. But sometimes when I have one file open and attempt to open another by means of the Open File dialog box within Word, the second file doesn't open. But on the Windows Taskbar I can see the first file and a "blank" second file. To get the second file to open sometimes trying again works, other times I have to close the first file. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas? Thanks.

MS Word 2007 w/Windows 8.1

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 11:18 AM PDT

In the past, when I would copy something for a website, I was able to copy and past the images into my word document. Now with Windows 8.1 I can't paste the images into my documents. I get a box. So is it windows 8.1 or Office 2007 where the problem begins? I do a lot of independent research and need this capability.

ImportFragment converting "Continuous" break to "Next Page" break

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 10:02 AM PDT

A fragment .docx document contains a "Continuous" break.  If the target (active) document is not empty or if not using ActiveDocument.Content.ImportFragment, which replaces the whole document content, a "Continuous" break is converted to a "Next Page" break using ImportFragment.  How can I avoid this behavior?

Some footnotes lose their style after joining documents

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 09:42 AM PDT

I have a multi-chapter document. Each chapter is in a separate Word file, and each one is supposed to use the same styles. Each chapter also has more than a 100 footnotes (with reference within text). The footnotes all have the style "Footnote Text"

Before rendering the final document, I join all chapters by inserting a section break and and then Insert -> File.

What happens is that some footnotes (maybe 5 out of more than 100 in a document) lose their style and become Heading 1 or Heading 2. What strange is, that it is usually the "same" footnote text (reference to the same book for example). But if I check the source document, the whole text of that footnote really has the "Footnote Text" style, I don't see even one character from that note having another style.

So what I did was to remove formatting of that note in the source file, re-apply the "Footnote Text" format, and try to re-join the documents. The note in questions then shows up OK, but another note, previously fine in the first join attempt, now has the wrong "Heading 1" style.

At first I thought this might have had something to do with copy paste from another document, with the footnote text somehow "retaining" the style from the file it was copied from, but since it seems to happen to a new note after fixing one, I am a bit lost. Besides, even if the style was retained, I should see something else than "Footnote Text" in the style in the original chapter document, right?

Is this a known problem when joining documents? Am I doing something wrong?

Adapting Multilevel Lists in existing doc.

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 07:33 AM PDT

I have a document that was not formatted and now I am going back through and attempting to format the numbering in case of later need of adding a section. 

The current document has the sections as follows

1.1

    A

       1

       2

    B

      1

      2

1.2 etc. 

Is there an easy way of telling the document that it has a multilevel list so when need be I could, for example, add a section 1.2 after 1.1 and it would change the following sections.

TOC shows content instead of heading

Hi,

I have an old DOC file that I needed to make changes.

Any thoughts why and hat to do?

Word 2010: How to paste content without numbered lists being made continous

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 03:45 AM PDT

I have content including documents and sections of documents which I'd like to paste into another document (same template/styles). This content contains multiple numbered lists.

However, when I do, the start of each list is lost and instead of multiple lists, they are now treated as one long list:

1. Apple

2. Orange

3. Pear

Heading 1

1. Dog

2. Cat

3. Pig

Changes to:

1. Apple

2. Orange

3. Pear

Heading 1

4. Dog

5. Cat

6. Pig

Obviously I can re-apply "Restart at 1" but this laborious for a 1,000 page document. Is there an alternative?

Equations have become non-editable “pictures” in Microsoft Word

Posted: 10 Jun 2014 03:41 AM PDT

I am using Microsoft Word 2010 -Windows 7 -32 bits. After opening a previously saved Word file containing  equations (I am using Equation editor ), it is discovered that  some of the equation (formula) have become non-editable pictures.


I know this is associated with the Auto-recovery function in Word and I turned off the Auto-save function in Word, but the issue is not fixed. (I used  Microsoft Word 6 before and  met this error but  after turning off the Auto-save function in Word 6,  the problem is fixed)

Imagine that thesis with hundreds of formula suddenly became  pictures. What's a nightmare!

I do not think that after a lot of years this bug it isn't fixed or can not fix.


Is there any way to safety edit with the formulas and Equation editor ?

Is there any way to recover the formulas?

Could you give me some advices?

Word 0kb files In Windows 8

Posted: 09 Jun 2014 11:02 PM PDT

I have MS office and Windows 8.  I recently upgraded to 8.2. and since this time - every few days my Word gets hung in the auto recovery save.  when this happens - it shows the same autosave message across all open Word documents.  when I save documents when this is happening - it looks like its saving but its saving as an empty file (0 kb).  once I close it - everything I've worked on leading up to the save is lost.  I can recover by crashing Word through the Task Manager.  I had my IT investigate and they reinstalled Word but it didn't work.  do you know what is causing this?

Hyphenation error on although in Word 2013

Posted: 09 Jun 2014 07:14 PM PDT

Word  auto-hyphenates the word "although" improperly. It puts the hyphen between the "t" and the "h".

This frustrating problem apparently existed in Word 2010 as well.

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/why-does-word-2010-improperly-hyphenate-although/c07d1788-82f3-47a4-9c06-b7089740e816

How do we get Microsoft to correct bugs like this? Ctl-hyphen is not a solution -- only an occasional workaround. 

MS - don't make it hard to identify and report bugs.  These types of problems need to get fixed!

Multiple copies of the same image - how to save space

Posted: 09 Jun 2014 05:10 PM PDT

I've looked at an XML format Word document.

I've put in 1 copy of an image. The file size would be 50KB for example.

If I take the same image and make 10 duplicates in the document and save, then the file size becomes 500KB.

Why??

Why isn't it possible to have one copy and have pointers to the one image copy in other places?

Surely that wouldn't be rocket science to do?

Thanks

Just a long shot, which you've probably already tried, but can't you
copy the approriate reg key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 (and
10.0)\Common\LanguageResources to the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT key on the
client PCs? That way any new user should inherit those key.

A workaround rather than a solution, but it might be worth a shot.

How to delete files and mails beyond recovery?

Posted: 13 Nov 2006 11:06 AM PST

the only way to delete email beyond recovery would be to set DIR to zero,
configure a mailbox management policy to delete everything from the deleted
items folder every night, not allow creation of pst files, not ever backup
Exchange, enable circular logging, and configure the SG to zero out deleted
database pages...even that probably wouldn't do it...it certainly would
throw a wrench into DR when the server crashes, or the DBs becomes
corrupt...

Inherited Exchange Implementation

Posted: 12 Nov 2006 10:31 AM PST

Scott,

I know of this KB but in my experience I have not seen the occurrences
referenced in the KB. My largest client has 10 locations with 10 Exchange
Servers at each location with a fully meshed VPN. There are no WINS servers
on the network and Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2000/XP/2003 runs fine at all
locations. So it really depends on your environment. It does not hurt to
have WINS in place but I prefer not to implement it if its really not
necessary. You may repost again to see if any other MVP has experience with
WINS in larger environments of Exchange.

Thanks Mark,

I took over this postion about 8 months ago and, looking back at other
folders (W3SVC## as an example, I have realized that logging is turned on but
no maintenance (cleaning) was ever done on any of these folders. There are
files dating back to 2004.

Increasing Mailbox Size

Bizzare.
Does the message receipt time actually match the time in the IS
schedule the messages go out in and with the frequency you expect?

I'd stick a limit in there (a big one) and then dive into adsiedit to
make sure it's taken effect. Enter a big figure (just under 2GB) into
the three fields, be sensible about the prohibit send/receive etc
though, and report back (by email if you want but better in the group)

Backup first. Make copies of critical files to CD or DVD or another machine
or memory stick or *SOMETHING* before starting this.
 

Slow down.. Mount the second drive as master on the other controller, so you
don't have to play with the IDE settings of the drive, and so that you get
faster data transfer. This is not a big deal if you have auto-select cables
and drives, but most manufactures set the CD drive to force it one way or
the other.

In fact, unless you've got good backup, do this somewhere else.

Second, it's dangerous to duplicate a live OS. Databases are treacherous
about changing behind your back and not yet being written to the file
system. For this reason, it's extremely useful to boot with a live CD or
rescue CD and mount things by hand for duplication, rather than doing it on
an active OS.
 

Oh, goodness. Please read the manual page for t ar;

tar cpf - -C /old | tar xpf - -C /new

You've also seriously ignored the disk partitioning, and failed to mount
them correctly. And for cripes, sake, "/bin/cp -a /old/. /new/." is a single
command that is actually faster, and "rsync -avH --delete /new/ /old/" is
both fast and double-checks your work.
 

You also shouldn't try this stunt with swap partitions: it will lead to
madness.
 

This is handwaving.

Use the live CD or rescue CD I mentioned, after swapping the disks around as
necessary, to mount the new OS image partitions, do a "chroot" to them, and
run the boot loader from there.

Ask for details on that if you need it.

difficulty recompiling RHEL 4.2 kernel

OK, so right now you have a mess: let's keep it simple for recovery.

cd [ kernel source tree ]
/bin/rm .config
make oldconfig
make mrproper

Should scrub the local source tree pretty thoroughly.
 

That's old advice: The Linux kernel build structure has been slowly
evolving, to match that of more sanely configured tools, so that "make" does
what you think it would and "make install" does too. And RedHat has also
patched the source trees a bit to do kernel installation more in keeping
with their tools, to automate the editing of lilo.conf and grub.conf to
include any new kernels installed. It's useful to do.

What I referred to with the "look at the kernel SRPM" was precisely what I
said, such as this one:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

That's what RedHat uses to build their kernel RPM's from: reading the
"kernel.spec" file in it should walk you through some automated kernel
building processes, and how RedHat thinks it should be done.

The bit about using alternative names in .config or in the Makefile is
because it can be set in either place to give your new kernel a unique and
descriptive name, the way RedHat does things. In some other kernel bundles,
you need to (or used to need to) edit it directly in the Makefile or
Makefile.in to get a unique kernel name and avoid a newly configured kernel
having the same name and overwriting your previously built kernel.

Installing Multiple OS on a Blade Farm

Not only that, it eliminates a number of errors, and gotchas. You need
only figure out once what the install is to look like, and don't have to
remember that you need to install this, or that package.
 

Our original tool was created by a student intern as a "semester project"
back in roughly 1990 for SunOS-4.1.1 installations on Sparc boxen.
 

It really makes it so simple - especially when installing systems on an
on-going basis. Did package $FOO get a security update? No problem, you
just put the new package onto the file server, and change one line in a
script - at most.
 

I never counted, and I'm no longer on the crew that does the updates
every 18-20 months or so. When we were still on a 10 MB Ethernet, a crew
of admins each with 6 portable drives containing the new image went around
the building - connect the drive to the victim^Wsystem to be reinstalled,
mount it, and run the script, then go to the next system, lather, rinse,
repeat. Six drives allowed each person to be doing six updates at the
same time. As this was done on a weekend, there were no users getting in
the way. With switched 100BaseT and Gigabit net (both fiber and copper),
we can do the same thing with less bodies. Isn't modern technology wonderful?

Removing the package while upgrading shouldn't cause any problems; at

Change the corresponding entry in /etc/inittab to 3 (or 2 - depending on

Knoppix boots, but emacs won't start

Posted: 29 May 2006 08:38 AM PDT

Thank you. As typical, I am busy doing other things, so I can't check
the disk. However, you really did answer my fundamental question. It
wasn't some sort of obvious operator error in booting the system--as
in, "Oh, to run programs, you need to login to a user account first."
Before I use the cd again, I will try your suggestions and have saved
the posting, so that I can do so. Burning another cd (after checking
the checksums on the iso file to make certain I got a good download)
might be the best solution. It doesn't seem reasonable that Knoppix
is broken the way I experience. Therefore, it must be a local
problem, e.g. a bad cd burn.


Thank you again, your advice was appreciated,

SuSE 10.1

Posted: 28 May 2006 10:14 PM PDT

Yes, I had problems installing SuSE 10.1 on my Dell Latitude D610
(Laptop). Apparently, the live CD couldn't recognize my CD drive. I
managed to fix it by switching to SuSE 10.0. It's a pain to have to
download five CDs again though...

The same thing happened when I tried to install Slackware 10.2 (Same
computer), but I managed to get it to recognize by physically removing
and reinserting the drive before it was needed for recognition.

Heheheh... I try everything.

But now that Slackware is up and running, it recognizes my CD drive
quite nicely. Of course, this may have been the kernel update.

Good luck. If you're looking for XGL, you'll need it.

If you absolutely have to have 10.1, I have no idea. If you don't need
all of the updates, try 10.0.
