GRUB problems

Posted: 10 Jul 2006 10:12 AM PDT

Everything is golden now. For about a day, GRUB was booting to the
grub> prompt and then I had to tell it to boot with the kernel. After
figuring out that grub was looking in the wrong place for the grub.conf
file, I was able to correct the issues entirely. We now have a
physical server free for use in other tasks. Thanks everyone for the
help!

Initially I did not compile the kernel so I did not cause the problem by doing so.

This was the problem from a fresh install with no attempt to alter anything.

The mouse did not work for either kernel until I ran xorgconfig a few times and eventually
chose PS/2 for the mouse type. Then it worked with the 2.4.29 kernel.

How can I configure custom memory size for video?

Actually these are two excellent suggestions. It turns out I had

didn't write THAT in my system administration notes!

So I swapped in a board with 8MB already on it (which was more than
the old card had), and can get a halfway decent screen resolution.
I did have to edit xorg.conf anyway, but "man xorg.conf" is quite
adequate for editing color depths and video modes. So much easier
than trying to make the old video card do what it was never designed
for.

By the way, I also looked at my XF86Config file from my Fedora Core 2
installation, but I'm not sure I'd now recommend what I found there.

Oddly, system-config-display still shows only 640x480 and 800x600
modes, although the display actually is 1024x768 at this moment
(verified by a screen capture). But that problem can wait.

There's the chance that the Boot sector (and various other Meta-Data
files (IIRC; $BITMAP, $MFT, etc)) can be stored "anywhere" on the HDD
(laced throughout). This is a likely occurence anyway, but even more-so
if one used a PXE type setup (option B above). Certain blocks of data
may become 'locked' and broken up into pieces. But, either way, the
swapfile can always be forced to the outer-most blocks.

I am no NTFS guru-type, and I could be mistaken about certain explicit

First thing to try is doing and fdisk/mbr and then booting to linux with
a cd to see what partitions are there and try mounting them. You then
might try to copy any important data to a linux partition and go from
there. Beyond that, you'd have to check the correlation between the fats
and the files themselves to see what's scrawed. If you don't know what

Sometimes eth0 & eth1 swap in Fedora

7.4.3.7. Device naming order changes randomly after rebooting

This is due to the fact that Udev, by design, handles uevents and loads
modules in parallel, and thus in an unpredictable order. This will never
be “fixed”. You should not rely upon the kernel device names being stable.
Instead, create your own rules that make symlinks with stable names based
on some stable attributes of the device, such as a serial number or the
output of various *_id utilities installed by Udev. See also the network
interface renaming example in Section 7.12, “Configuring the network
Script”.

7.12.1. Creating stable names for network interfaces

Instructions in this section are optional if you have only one network
card.
With Udev and modular network drivers, the network interface numbering is
not persistent across reboots by default, because the drivers are loaded in
parallel and, thus, in random order. For example, on a computer having two
network cards made by Intel and Realtek, the network card manufactured by
Intel may become eth0 and the Realtek card becomes eth1. In some cases,
after a reboot the cards get renumbered the other way around. To avoid
this, create Udev rules that assign stable names to network cards based on
their MAC addresses.
First, find out the MAC addresses of your network cards:
grep -H . /sys/class/net/*/address

For each network card (but not for the loopback interface), invent a
descriptive name, such as “realtek”, and create Udev rules similar to the
following:
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules << "EOF"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="52:54:00:12:34:56",
NAME="realtek"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:a0:c9:78:9a:bc",
NAME="intel"
EOF

These rules will always rename the network cards to “realtek” and “intel”,
independently of the original numbering provided by the kernel. Use these
names instead of “eth0” in the network interface configuration files
created below.
Note
Persistent names must be different from the default network interface names
assigned by the kernel.

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! :)

For some reason I thought the question was about how progress was computed

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.

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)

References and Bookmarks

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?

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,

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!

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?

On my colleagues computer it does not do this any longer. I am wondering if there is a particular setting that needs to be changed so it will do this on my colleagues computer. Thank you.

Disable the "Automatically resize to fit contents" of table property by default in MS Word

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 04:02 AM PDT

Hi,

I face a problem here, I have over hundred table in a html page and I need to copy it to a word document. The problem is when I copy those table to the document, the column size of the table will auto adjust to fit the content and it looks ugly when the same type of table has different size on the same column, this make me frustrated.

Is there any ways that able to permanently disable the "Automatically resize to fit contents" of table property by default in MS Word 2007? Or disable it in one shot, cause I got over hundred tables in the document.

Thank you, your help will be very much appreciated.

Converting wav to Word?

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:51 AM PDT

Can anyone recommend a free wav to Word converter? My wife is interviewing 8 people, each interview is about an hour long and doesn't fancy the idea of having to manually transcribe them. An 80% success rate would be OK.

Thanks

Spell checking within a boxed or bordered item in Word

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:43 AM PDT

Is there by any chance a way of enabling the spell check inside a boxed or bordered item in Word?  For example, in the image below, I would expect to see red wiggly lines under the words "propbabilities" and "almosty" but there are none, and neither of these words are these flagged when I run the spell check.

A mystery!

Insert Image Box for users please help

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 02:07 AM PDT

Hi

I am trying to create a box in a Worddoc for users to insert their own images into the template.  How do I add a box that

1.  Says insert image but the text disappears once the image is inserted.

2. Make sure that the image no matter what size it is will fit exactly into the size of the box so no resizing is required by the user.  I would appreciate help please I am lost with this one.  I have looked at making a table single cell-but cannot add the text and I am unable to lock the size of the table so it will not change to suit the image.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Using Word 2007

Running Word 2003 and Word 2010 in parallel

Posted: 22 Jun 2014 11:47 PM PDT

I work continually for a series of different employers. Some use MS Word 2003; others use MS Word 2010. I have both versions of Word on my computer (which runs Windows 7).
I need to keep Word 2003 <.doc> files so that they always open in Word 2003 and I can revise them in Word 2003; and I need to keep Word 2007/2010 <.docx> files so that they always open in Word 2010 and I can revise them in Word 2010.
But the computer keeps reconfiguring MS Office every time I switch between the two programs. What do I need to do to keep both Word 2003 and Word 2010 available and operating in parallel, doing away with all such reconfiguring?

Thanks in advance.

Word attachment becomes Word Viewer and won't open

If I attempt to open a Word document attached to an email the file type at the top left changes to Word Viewer

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?

A required installation file SKU112.CAB could not be found

Posted: 31 Jan 2007 07:27 AM PST

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
Windows control panel.

Hi, Bob. Thanks for getting back to me.

I checked add/remove programs like you said and it lists both:
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003

(I think I should mention that my computer came with the trial version
of Standard Edition, but I wanted the Professional Edition, so I
bought Professional. Gee, that was three years ago. Anyway, like I
said it, wasn't until I updated to IE7 that I started getting this
annoying message.)

If I search for sku*.* on the CD, it finds four files:
SKU026.CAB
SKU0A4.CAB
SKU111.CAB
SKU111.XML

Oh, Bob, I really appreciate any help you can give. >>

"Locate recent version of Microsoft Office"

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.

Garfield-n-odie,

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

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.

================
<<"Another Brian" <nocom> wrote in message news:eNVuF$phx.gbl...
The Vista upgrade version requires that Win2k or Win XP already be
installed on the computer. You can no longer install the upgrade
version on a blank hard drive and simply insert the qualifying product
CD at the appropriate time. I don't (yet) know that M$ 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

Posted: 28 Jan 2007 07:23 PM PST

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?
