Link Project file to Access Database?

Posted: 03 Aug 2005 04:00 AM PDT

Thanks, I have tried this but access won't reconigise the file format....If
I am saving from Project 2000 does it default the file to an Access 2000 mdb?
If so i am trying to open it with Access 97....

Resource allocation question: Changing percentage from month to month?

Posted: 02 Aug 2005 01:36 PM PDT

Hi Sergio,

In fact, in the work that I do, I have to do this all the time. It's a pain
but the only way that I can see.
The only other option is to put the same task on 2 lines - one for September
1st to September 30th at 70% allocation and the other from October 1st to
October 31st at 45% allocation. But this means that your task is running over
2 lines - something you may not want.

Task Usage / % Complete representation

Hi Rod,

Thanks for the reply. The task usage method doesn't seem to work but the
alternative approach appears to do the trick.

A repeated subset of Tasks

Posted: 02 Aug 2005 02:40 AM PDT

There isn't unless you use VBA. Another approach though is to have the
duplicated set of tasks as a task list in Excel and only one task in Project
to represent the whole set. Simpler, quicker to schedule and the resources
still get a detailed task list.

This is what I want:

How to receive all incoming Mails in CRM

Posted: 03 Mar 2005 01:11 AM PST

In implementation guide there is a note:

Note: E-mail sent between users on the same Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003
system (intranet e-mail) will be processed by the Router only if it is sent
from a Microsoft CRM client.

I guess such behavior was caused by mechanism used when saving message in
Exchange store. I suppose it differs for internal and external messages. Of
course you can use separate mail server or develop your own exchange store
sink to accomplish routing for internal messages sent to particular mailbox.

In general i think that "support for routing of internal messages" would be
"nice to have" feature for the next version of CRM.

Have a nice day.

The easiest way to do what you want is to link cases to contacts

Highlighting in Word - problem

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 11:22 AM PDT

Hello!

A strange change happened.

When I read a word file, I use he highlighting tool here and there, selecting the parts I need.

Before today,  after I selected the tool "Highlight with yellow", I could easily highlight a sentence, read further and highlight another sentence in another part of the text, without selecting the tool "highlight with yellow" again.

But today, after I highlighted a sentence, the tool turns off, and if I want to select another sentence in an another part of the text, I have to select the tool once again.  So I have to constantly select the tool again and again, but not just work with it.

Does anyone have any ideas, how did that happen and what to change to make it as it was before?

Thank you!

Getting unexpected results when executing a macro

I have a macro that looks like this...

    Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
        "FILENAME  \p ", PreserveFormatting:=True

When I save a document and then run this macro in the footer, it is supposed to show the file location.  I have a client that a couple days ago, something broke.  Now when she runs the document, it shows the following...

{FILENAME  \p \* MERGEFORMAT}

However, when she prints the document, it shows the correct path.  Any idea what would cause the problem or how to fix?

Autofill cells?

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 10:48 AM PDT

I work in an office, and I often have to prepare letters to be mailed out to various companies. Often times, these letters are in a group of four or five that always have to go to the same couple of places. I end up having to scroll through five pages, inputting the same data over and over in basicall the same way. What I was wondering- is there a way to make a cell or a text box on page one that will simply fill in the info on the other five pages? This would save me a lot of time, as I would be able to enter the info once, instead of several times over. A quick response to this question would be appreciated. I'm using Word 2010. Thank you.

How to fill in the blank on an existing line

Hi, 

I have a form someone gave me that is not a template to be filled in. It would be fine if you were to write on it with a pen or paper, but not for Word. 

How can I create a text field that will type on to the lines she has created? 

Example:

Workshop/Course Description:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I want to create a fill-in the blank on the line, not type the text in the middle and still have the same length of line on either side like:

Workshop/Course Description:

___________this is not the prettiest way to look at a document ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Does this make sense?

Word 2010 crashes when inserting comments

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 10:08 AM PDT

I work in Word 2010 40 hours a week (using windows 7). I and others periodically get a Word crash when inserting comments using the Review tab. Usually, there is an error message after you start typing your comment, that says something like "Word has encountered a problem. You may lose your data if you continue. Do you want to continue?" When this happens, I usually say yes, hit save and then get out of the document. I then do an Open and Repair to hopefully get the glitch out. I've researched this online and can't find any explanation as to what is causing this and how to avoid it. I have read the old article from Word MVPs about corruptions but it doesn't address this one, which seems unique to Word 2010.

how can I press the Tab key and have the cursor move over only .25 inches for only the first line of any paragraph I do this in?  It currently moves over .5 inches.

And I want  all the other lines in the same paragraph to move back to the margin naturally when I type.  Also when I press Enter for a new paragraph, I want the cursor to go back all the way to the left margin. (no indentation)

I would like this to be for any new document I create. 

thanks very much!

Word 2013 Font Letter Spaces

I have a problem with Word 2013.

I recently installed a Font called RotisSansSerif, using a given .PFM File. 

A .PFB File was also sent and is located in the same folder as the .PFM File. 

Sadly I can't install the .PFB since I get an error trying to do that (which is normal from what I've read).

My problem is best seen in the attached picture:


The first text is the one I see in Word, the second one is the one I get when I print the document or open it as a .PDF File.

How can I fix it so it looks exactly like on the output file?

(I tried reinstalling the Fonts or restarting Word)

Referencing page numbers in other documents, without using master documents

Dear MS Community

I hope you can help me.

I am working with multiple documents.

One of these documents acts as the overview of the others and contains specific page numbers in other documents. Let's call it Overview.doc

eg 

Outcome Unit and page
Define mentoring Unit 1, pg. 124 - 156

The page numbers is found in another document, let's say Facilitator guide. This document (Facilitator guide) will change over time and I do not want to maintain Overview.doc when these page numbers change - I want it to do this by itself.

Can anybody please help me to understand how this can be done?

I've been mucking about with fields and bookmarks, but do not know how to write the instructions correctly to get the page views.

Please help!

Change language without changing keyboard layout

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 04:42 AM PDT

Hello,

MS Word 2010, Windows 7 ultimate/64

I would like to keep English as my standard language and keyboard layout.  But there are times when I create a document or open a document in French. (Word used to "recognize" the language, as I recall, but I don't mind changing it manually.)

It would be nice to work on the document in French without every word being underlined as misspelled.  But I want to keep the American English keyboard (I have my own program for putting in accents, etc).

Is it possible to change the language for a particular document from English to French yet not change the standard keyboard?

Many thanks.

Caption Numbering

Posted: 09 Jul 2014 02:45 AM PDT

Documentation specification dictates that figures and tables be numbered as in the following examples:

  • Figure F-3.4 where '3' indicates the third chapter and '4' indicates the fourth figure in chapter 3.
  • Table T-3.4 where '3' indicates the third chapter and '4' indicates the fourth table in chapter 3.

Please advise the correct procedure for achieving this format.

I have created new labels for figures and tables as follows: "Figure F-" and "Table T-"

The result I get with this method yields the following: Figure F-[space]3.4, and Table T-[space]3.4.

If this is the correct procedure, how can I eliminate the space, without having to manually delete it at every incidence?

Opening Word or Excel files

Original Title : More help required.

Hi folks.

Several weeks ago I had a problem with a thing called AVG browser. Norton eventually cleared the AVG software, but in the process, I lost important storage folders from my email. These folders remain lost.

However, a new problem has emerged which has me stumped. When I open Excel, or Word, and try to open some files, I get this message (for Excel),

"If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted." I haven't done any of those things. The affected files show as being in 

                       %CSIDL_PERSONAL%.xlsx,

and for Word, the affected files show as being in the same whatever. If I click on a file to open (e.g., Doc1), I get the message 

                       "The directory name is not valid. C:\Users\Paul|Desktop\...\Doc1.docx"

Not all Excel and Word files were affected, but quite a number were.

What is this %CSIDL_PERSONAL% thing? Could my files be in there? If so, can they be recovered?

Can anybody help?

Large "Top Padding" in Table unchangeable?

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 05:05 PM PDT

I make a basic table in MS Word 2013 and add a single line of text to each row. All looks good. The issue for me is that there appears to be the height of a new line immediately above my text in every row. I can't make the row have any less height to minimize this large gap above. Setting the vertical alignment to "middle" has no effect either. How can I reduce this waste of space in each table row?

Attached is a screenshot illustrating what I am talking about. As far as I know, I have not changed any defaults or settings.

I am curious how to see/edit the alignment of the built-in Blank (Three Columns) footer. There are no alignment tabs set and they seem to be ignored when they are inserted. It seems the only way to get the tabs to observe the tab alignments is delete the tab characters and insert new ones. Does anyone know if this behavior is documented anywhere? I would like to know how Word is accomplishing this and if this approach is superior over using alignment tabs. I also would like to know how to fix the alignment if someone inadvertently deleted a tab.

Thanks,

Rob

Spellcheck Ignore in docx versus doc

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 03:44 PM PDT

tl;dr: Big docx documents have different spellcheck behavior from small docx or any-sized doc documents, what is up with that?

Long version:

As I understand it, Word doesn't retain Ignore and Ignore All directions once you close a document, that is, when you tell it to Ignore a misspelling, the red line will pop back up (on the words you previously Ignored, not just when you type the word again later) after you close and reopen the document.  This seems to be intentional, HOWEVER, it only seems to work under certain conditions:

docx format

>100kb file size

I would like some way of retaining Ignored spellings so I'm wondering what it is about the .doc format or the small file size that makes it possible to do that.  I've tested this using Word 2010 and 2013 and in both cases, if I save as a .doc or the file size of the .docx is less than ~100kb, the Ignored spellings are saved with the document and no red line appears the next time I open it (I made sure to fully close Word between each test, plus I run spellcheck with F7 so it isn't just rechecking and hasn't brought up the red line yet).  But a docx larger than 100kb never saves the spellings, despite the fact that when I Ignore a misspelling and then close the document, Word asks me if I want to save changes.  What is it saving if not the Ignore?

I know about creating a non-spellchecked style and checking the 'hide spelling errors' option, neither of which appeals to me (too tedious if there are a lot of things to ignore and I'd like spellcheck to flag words that are legitimately misspelled).  So can anyone tell me what 'trigger' gets flipped when my docx gets too big and how to unflip it?  Is the only alternative to save everything as a .doc?  And MS, why aren't Ignore directives saved with a document?!

Thanks in advance.

Office 2007 Orktools

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 11:48 PM PST

Hi Gaëtan,

The Custom Installation Wizard and Custom Maintenance Wizard from prior versions of Office have been replaced by the Office
Customization Tool (OCT). The OCT is built into the setup.exe program of the volume license products of Office 2007 and are
accessed by running the Office 2007 setup program with the /admin switch (Setup.exe /admin). The OCT is not available to use with
a trial, oem or retail product key.

The Office resource kit home is now on MS Technet and can be reached through
http://microsoft.com/office/ork
The deployment prep tools for scanning and bulk converting files, Office Planning and Migration Manager (OMPM) tools are available
from the link on
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/f/?en-us/library/1e60de90-e9f4-421a-a432-46d44799cfd41033.mspx


This document covers some MS experience with deploying Office 2007 internally:

OEM versions of office?

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 08:27 AM PST

Hi Gordon,

If you compare the same product suite in an OEM (pre-installed) Office product with the same retail product the primary differences
are

(a) Pre-installed editions are licensed to a single machine and aren't transferrable, while Retail ones are allowed on two
machines and can be transferred to another machine.

(b) For questions on the pre-installed product, the PC supplier rather than MS would be the first stop.

==============

I've seen a couple of posts in the Windows newsgroups where the poster has
said that their machines came with Office pre-installed. Is this possible? I
wasn't aware that there were OEM versions of office..... >>

Uninstall of Office 2003 after Office 2007 Upgrade

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 07:29 AM PST

Hi Greg,

It shouldn't, but, after uninstalling, you may want to restart the PC then run the Office 2007 diagnostics just to double check :)

==================

So, it will not hose up any of my Office 2007 install if I uninstall
Office 2003? I selected the "upgrade" option when installing. <<

Deploy office 2007

Posted: 11 Feb 2007 04:18 AM PST

OK, so back to my question..I have my install scripts but If I put it as a
startup script will it not install (and then reinstall) every time the
machines startup? How do I install from a script just once if it isn't
already installed?

Copying Office Disks to External HD?

Posted: 09 Feb 2007 04:56 PM PST

I'm answering this from memory so I may be totally wrong, but I seem
to remember that somewhere during the Office install you have the
option to save the install point to the hard drive. This creates a
folder called MSOCache. Future repair installs or installs of
additional features use this point and do not require the CD. Search
Google for more information.

Office 2007 Programs Will Not Save to a Server

Posted: 08 Feb 2007 01:40 PM PST

Thanks for responding:

When I go to save a file, I get an error message that says "There has been a
network or file permission error. The network conection may be lost."

The network connection works fine and I have sufficient permissions
(Admnistrator): I can save files from other programs (note pad, quicken,
etc.) with no difficiulty and Office 2003 had no problem saving files to the
server either. The only problem occurs with Office 2007. I have tested this
with Word, Excel and Powerpoint and the same issue arises.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Outlook spelling - wrong language

English (U.K.)

I got this by opening up Word2003, selecting "tools", then "Language", then
"Set Language" which brought up a dialogue box and the UK one is
highlighted.

I also manually clicked on the DEFAULT button to ensure this was set as the
default.

The "Detect language automatically" checkbox is not checked.
