No,

But you can either fill down your name in the Resource Names column or
select all tasks before assigning yourself in the assign resources dialog so
that you quickly add your self to all tasks.

The only thing I can think of would be if calculation was set to manual
and the slack was not being updated or something. Short of that I cant
think of how this would happen without seeing the project. you can email
it to me if you like and I can take a look.

Large Scale Timeline workable?

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 09:17 AM PDT

Staceman,

If you have access to a plotter, that will be your best bet for printing the
fewest pages. You will still be constrained by the paper width the plotter
uses (i.e., multiple horizontal banners), but you should be able to go into
the Printer Properties and set up a custom paper size that best fits your
needs.

Hope this helps! :)

Francisco,
Unfortunately Project does not make the fields for split start and stop
available in Project views. I know of only two ways to replicate spits
on multiple tasks. If resources are assigned one method is to show the
Task Usage view and then manually manipulate the Work to create dead
time (i.e. splits) as desired. A second method is use VBA and set up a
loop for all tasks that are to be split. Within the loop use the Split
Method to establish split start and end times.

Hope this helps.

complete through, how calculated on summary bar

Posted: 27 Jul 2005 02:36 PM PDT

For some reason I thought the question was about how progress was computed
for summary tasks. If it's for performance tasks he's asking, the Complete
Through date would simply be the Start Date plus the Actual Duration not
including non-working time would it not, same as the ProjDateAdd() function?

Documentation on Cost Rate Tables

Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:34 PM PDT

Others have answered your immediate question but adding my 2 cents, I'd
suggest you be extremely cautious about trying to track revenues in MS
Project. It's not an accounting or a time and billing application and
attemtping to use it as such is likely to be highly misleading, potentially
with disasterous results for your business. The costs it's tracking are
intended to be an estimate of your costs of doing the actual project work
and to monitor progress against that budget. What you bill your clients to
do the project for them also needs to include other overheads, rents, costs
of capital, depreciation, and profit margins - all factors that Project
essentially doesn't even know exist. If you try to track revenues in the
project through the use of custom fields, Project will post the cost of the
task against your budget when the task is worked and will assume the
revenues have been received as the work was performed, being paid instantly
as the customer's obligation is accrued. This is obviously not realistic.
Use Project for planning the schedule and estimating the project's costs -
it does a great job of that - but don't try to get it to do double duty as a
project accounting application as well. It just isn't the right tool for
that job.

Resource Allocation and how it works

Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:21 PM PDT

Hi,

Allow me to bump in.
When you set Resource Leveling to Manual, after having applied all
improvements you can think of manually, you can still do leveling through
"Level Now".
That is the most used way to level.

Sorry, only the notes field can do that and you are already using it.
Perhaps you can insert something in the notes field to separate the two

You could edit the calendars of your resources to show that you are only

Newbie question

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 10:00 PM PDT

Thanks guys

I've got my team to read this. It's making sense to them as well. I'll
have to investigate levelling a little more.

We're getting around the variations by only scheduling 1 month at a time.
Our users priorities change too much to schedule more than that anyway. So
when people look at us as a resource, they will only see the next months
work. This might create problems in the long run, but it should work for now.

Thanks again.

Auto Calculating Fields

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 08:17 PM PDT

Hi,

Duration and cost are not custom fields.
Duration is roolled up in a sence that duration on the summary line reflects
the difference between start and finish (start of the ealiest task, end of
the latest). Indeed, sometimes changi,ng the duration of a task influences
duration of the summaryu task, sometimes it doesn't.

Fixed Cost is NOT rolled up to the summary lines, but Total cos ("Cost") is.

Hi,

I am trying to automate certain sentence mistakes:

For example:

"It is a car very big"

I would like MS word to read the grammatical structure of the sentence and move "very big" before "car" and apply specific (varying) colour highlighting to the different words.

So final result would be:

It is a car very big car. (1st car= double strikethrough and grey highlight and 2nd car in green without affecting character style)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

References and Bookmarks

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 01:42 PM PDT

I am working on a template for a series of Appendices to a document. Each appendix will be its own Word document and will be labeled Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. In the template I am using "X" as a placeholder for this label. Within each of these documents there are a number of occasions where tables and figures reference the Appendix label (e.g. Table A-1, Table A-2, etc). I want to be able to link these captions and text within the body of the document to populate all references to the Appendix label at once.  I have tried creating a style reference, but the "X" of the Appendix label is never it's own paragraph. I created a bookmark and inserted a Ref field, but the bookmark brackets either include an extra space or the bookmark is deleted when I update the text within the brackets. Is there another way?

Thanks!

Insert Data from 1 Table to Another Table

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:38 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a Word Document with 2 Tables in it, and I use Fields within Both.

I want to use Table 1 to show the Totals from the Data in Table 2.

eg: In Table 2:

 -------------------

| Chocolate | £1.59 |

|-----------|-------|

| Cola      | £2.50 |

|-----------|-------|

| Gum       | £0.59 |

 -------------------

Table 1:

 ----------------

| Sweets | £2.18 |

|----------------|

| Drinks | £2.50 |

 ----------------

So I would like is a formula that will:

Add Table 2 B1 + Table 2 B3

Formula: {=T2:B1 + T2:B3 \# "£#,##0.00;(£#,##0.00)"}

Insert Table 2 B2

Formula: {T2:B2 \# "£#,##0.00;(£#,##0.00)"}

I am not sure how you reference Table 2 in the code for Table 1?

Please note that if possible I would like to do this within the Fields without using VBA, so when I change the amounts in Table 2 and then I do a Print Preview or Print the Page, then the Totals in Table 1 will be updated for me.

Thank you in advance,

Neil

Changing colors on MS Word 2013

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:25 AM PDT

Hi!

I recently installed Windows 8 and Word 2013. I like the new design, it´s more comfortable, but I have problem with colors. I changed colors in windows, I use high contrast theme with my own colors. So my Word also uses the same colors as a backround (yellow with black letters).

I use colors in my work a lot, I change colors of paragraphs and different documents have different backround colors - this helps me to identify them more quicly and is quite important to me (it means that I don´t want to change some default theme, but I need to be able to change colors of all different documents, paragraphs and words). But I can´t change it anymore. I try to change text or backround colors, but it won´t change. 

What may be the issue?

Thanks!

Shift+F9 and Alt +F9 do not reveal INCLUDEPICTURE field code in my Word 2010 document

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 10:18 AM PDT

Hi! I am using Word 2010 on a Windows 7 computer. My document has many images in it that are linked through the INCLUDEPICTURE field.

To link the files I do this: Insert > Picture > select my image > Insert > Link to File.  The image appears in the document. When I select the image and press Alt+F9 I should be able to see the path, for example: { INCLUDEPICTURE "imagename.png"\*MERGEFORMAT }.  If I press Alt+F9 I should see the paths to all the linked images in the entire document.  This function worked last week and for may years.  Now it is not working on my work laptop or my personal laptop.  I have tried creating a new document today and it has the same issue.

I did restart my laptops over the weekend, wondering if this could be the issue with a microsoft windows update.

Arabic numerals copied from a document converted into Eastern Arabic numerals when pasting in another document having Arabic numerals

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Hi,

My MS Office 2007 is Arabic version. However, when I have tried copying the content of a word file (degrees for  students written in Arabic numerals, from 0 - 9). But while pasting those degrees in another document also having degrees written in  Arabic numerals 0 to 9, I found that the degrees  pasted were converted into Eastern Arabic numerals. (۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹). However, the other degrees in the original document to which I pasted were still in Arabic numerals . Also, the content (degrees) in the document from which I copied were still in  Arabic numerals.

Is this line problem?

This is the procedure I have followed.

1- I have created a word document ona Microsoft Office 2010 English Version installed on my laptop whose system is Windows 7. Only the degrees of students of that document were written in  Arabic numerals, from (0 - 9).

2- I have another word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version installed on another laptop whose system is Windows XP. Only the degrees of students of that documents were written in Arabic numerals, from (0 - 9).

3- I copied a copy of that document created in the step one and pasted it in a FlashDrive. Then, I have plugged the FlashDrive to another laptop, and I opened both the Word files on the other laptop and tried copying the degrees from the file created in the Microsoft Office 2010 English Version and pasted them to the contents(degrees) of that word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version .

4- I found that the degrees pasted into word document created on a Microsoft Office 2007 Arabic Version converted into Eastern Arabic numerals*(۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹). However, the original degrees previously written on that word document created in Microsoft Office 2007  were still written in  Arabic numerals (0- 9).  Only the new degrees pasted converted into Eastern Arabic numerals.

Also, in Microsoft Office 2010 English Version installed on my laptop whose system is Windows 7, I have another problem which is that when I write numbers, such as in Date, I find  that the numbers are only written in Arabic numerals (0- 9), although that the input language is Arabic. How can I control over  numbers.  If I want to convert the Arabic numerals (0- 9) written in the date inside a Word document into Eastern Arabic numerals*(۰ ۱ ۲ ۳ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ۸ ۹), how will I do?

Text in Word Document did not save.

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 07:20 PM PDT

Yesterday, I had a word document open, and when I finished editing I saved it to my documents, and I'm pretty sure it saved fine. Then I went to save another document I was working on, however, Word stopped responding and I don't think this document saved properly. That didn't really matter though as it was just notes that I didn't need any more. 

Then today, I went to open the first document, and it was saved (the file was there) but when it opened, all my text had disappeared, and it said i had spent 0 hours editing (which was obviously not true!) 

Even though I have auto recovery set up to save every 10 minutes, there are "No previous Versions"of the file. I've tried restarting my computer and searching for the file where my recovered documents are found, but nothing worked. 

Is there anyway I can recover my text?? I lost all the progress I had made :( Any help would be really appreciated, I really need this document!! 

Trick for having Save button disabled after saving and enabled after document change?

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 05:31 PM PDT

I  am used to the Windows user interface standard where after saving the document the "Save" button appears disabled (grayed-out) and then becomes enabled again after making any change in the document. This is very useful to get a visual feedback whether the document has been changed after the last saving or not, i.e. whether there are any unsaved changes in the document.

Unfortunately this does not happen in Word 2010. Why not? Why does a Microsoft application not follow this de-facto long-year Windows user interface standard?

Is it possible to get this standard behavior back in Word 2010 with some trick?

Hi Elizabeth,

Assuming you have the Office 2003 Professional Edition CD available see if you're able to uninstall the Standard Edition package.
The missing file belongs to that edition and sometimes things get a bit confused when there are two product suites of the same
series installed for versions prior to Office 2007.

If you get an error message when doing so you may need to use this utility to remove the standard edition
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295823/en-us?FR=1
then, restart the PC and do a repair/reinstall of Office 2003 Professional Edition with that CD from Add/Remove Programs in the

I went ahead and re-installed my Project 2003 and then re-tried the Project
2007 installation. This seems to have satisfied the request for a recent
version. Perhaps since Project 2003 was removed by Office 2007 during its
install and not Project 2007 that there was some confusion on the software's
part. Not a smooth upgrade but at least it seems to have worked.

I looked at some of your posts in the past. It appears that you
volunteer your time to help others a lot! One word of advice, not all
posters are ignorant, uneducated and otherwise scum of the earth. At
times, a little more consideration and compassion for those who feel
helpless would be appreciated.

Migration from Office 2007 B2TR to Office 2007 release

Posted: 30 Jan 2007 08:24 AM PST

I have office xp home edition & installed office 2007 btr2. The file format
convertors to excel 2003 do NOT work under as the BTR2 file format is
incompatible with microsoft file converters. The work around posted in the
knowledge base does not work with XP home edition. Now I'm up the creek
without a paddle - any ideas?

Thankyou

I actually had the feature installed but was looking for it above internet
explorer & Outlook from the start menu (before hovering on all programs)

A simple drag & drop to the desired location did the trick.

Thanks Again

Yep, I did that. Looks like that was the ONLY file missing. Thanks.
Puzzling, as, I just loaded it yesterday (when we figured out that WAS where
it was supposed to be).

Thanks, again!

Word & Power Point error messages after install

Posted: 29 Jan 2007 01:33 PM PST

Interesting how your story starts out "I have..." and then changes to
"They are...". Use Windows Explorer to search for a file named
OFFICEAV.DLL on their hard drive (include system and hidden
files/folders in the search options). If you find it, note the folder
where it is located, and use the "regsvr32 /u" method described in
KB329820 to unregister the DLL.

Full Verison or Upgrade Office 2007

Posted: 29 Jan 2007 06:08 AM PST


MS Office upgrade packages do not require that you have a qualifying product already installed, only that you have the product
CD/disk available when you do install the newer product. There is no change from prior versions for the 2007 Office products in
this.

The Vista upgrade version requires that Win2k or Win XP already be
installed on the computer. You can no longer install the upgrade
version on a blank hard drive and simply insert the qualifying product
CD at the appropriate time. I don't (yet) know that M$ has done the
same to the upgrade version of Office 2007. I'm sure that someone will
be letting us know very soon.

Tried to download 2007

It is interesting that the program should be so hard to install; especially
seeing it does intall a couple parts with no trouble but not the basic office
components.

I have just given up not only on the trial idea but I don't plan to upgrade
either. I will let others crash and loose matrial all for the sake of making
Microsoft richer. Tomorrow the new version is availible in stores; I wonder
if it will be as hard to install?

Does MS Project have possibility to draw S curve automatically?

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 04:34 AM PDT

Thank you it really helped. I have visited your site and marked it in
favourites to come back.
I am working in small company, after rather big experience on big projects
in big company. Now I miss data base for unit productivities (in construction
and maintenance of oil production plants). Do you have some links to places
where exchange of experience can be done without membership fees. I am ready
to give samples of schedules for tank maintenance works: rebottoming,
painting etc.

Thank you John, I appreciate your quick response.

We were thinking that the corruption had something to do with the fact that
the file was password protected. However, we decided to go back in and
re-create the file.

Exporting Time-phased data

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 07:20 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes. I've tried the "Analyze Timescaled Data in Excel", however I am
constrained to using only the task name field to identify the rows in my
resulting spreadsheet; I want to include data from other columns as well
to help in the sorting/analysis of the entire data set.

For example, I want to summarize costs by WBS, or by resource group, or
other custom resource fields I've created.

Is there a way to create an export map for the "Analyze Timescaled Data
in Excel" the same way you can export other data using export maps?

Cost factors of material resources

Posted: 25 Jul 2005 05:13 AM PDT

Hi Eswer,
I'm assuming you are trying to assign an extra cost (you call it a burden)
onto your material cost? This is common accounting practice.
If this is this is the case and if the burden is a constant (e.g. Add a set
% to the material cost) you can create a custom field which uses the material
cost as the base and multipy it by the constant.
When I say the burden needs to be standardised I mean it should be a fixed
%, i.e. the business want to add 20% to all material costs!! The 20% is fixed
and can therefore be used in the formula based custom field.

Paul

Hope this clarifies my answer.

Scheduling with a deadline while behind schedule

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 02:03 PM PDT

Hi,

When you use the reschedule work function, it shifts the unfinished work to
today (or tomorrow, depends), that is true.
It ignores predecessors of this work, logical isn't it, that's the past, you
only plan the future.
But it doesn't ignore the successors to these tasks, these are shifted just
as well.
You will probably get negative slack (if you fixed the end date with a hard
constraint) or a schedule overrun (when you only put a delay on the final
task).

Now by all means you're to move: can you increase resources (only few people
can, you know); can you use subcontreacting to speed up, etc.;LS project has
no way of guessing this and I wonder if any software will know your
possibilities to improve the schedule..

HTH
