Print Quality

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 03:05 PM PDT

When I print a photo or graph and select my printer I click printer properties and select my Print Quality as "High" as opposed to "Standard". I was wondering if printing in high quality uses more ink/toner?

Problem with MS Office 7

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

Whenever I try to move a window using a mouse, or to reduce a size of a window, and sometimes even to highlight a part of a file, my program becomes unresponsive and shuts down. I have run diagnostics several times (no problems found), re-installed Office 7, and the problem still persists. I have this problem with all components of Office 7, not just Word. OS is Windows Vista, regularly updated. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:53 PM PDT

Since switching to Office 2013, I get the message "Word could not parse your query options into a valid SQL string." when I try to run a mail merge. I have assignment check sheets and grade sheets that I merge with a class list to print individual forms for my students. I tried using the revised files for this year and the old files from last year which worked fine , but now when I select the Word document containing the class list I get this message. One of my co-workers got this message last year, but we never figured out what the problem was. We have tried saving the list as a text file, but got the same message. Can someone help?

Underlining, etc. in Word 2013 RT (Surface 2)

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:46 PM PDT

When I try to underline selected text in Word (RT version on my Surface 2) it underlines the entire document, as if it were changing the Style.  If I click "undo," then all the extra underlining goes away so that only the original selected text is underlined.   The same thing happens with Bold, Small caps, etc.  I never noticed it before, so I think this is a new bug.   Has anyone else experienced this?  I have tried disabling smart cursoring, quick paragraph select, etc., without success.

Why is there a stubborn black line right at the top of my document?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 12:27 PM PDT

I cannot select the line to delete it.  I have already selected "no border" and "remove header" in case either of those were causing it.  It's still stubbornly appearing.

Microsoft Office Starter Problems After Sept. 2013 Update

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 10:28 AM PDT

I have been reading on many of these Microsoft forums that people have been unable to open or access their documents in Microsoft Office 2010 Starter after the September 2013 update. Has anyone had to actually purchase the full version of Microsoft Office to resolve this issue?

Re-installing Word 2013 with a deactivated account

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:58 AM PDT

Hi,

I purchased Word 2013 (I still have the product key) a few months back. 

Due to a problem with my PC I need to re-install Word but the account I used to purchase the product has now been deactivated. I raised a support ticket with accounts & was told to contact the office team. I tried the 'contact us' pages  which seem to just point you at Answer Tech's who while nice & all, seem unable to grasp the problem or suggest a solution. The UK customer helpline number takes you in a loop then tells you to visit the website!!!

Anyone have a suggestion where I go from here?

How do I create a macro that will automatically sort items based on a Mail Merge field?

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I have a quote mail merge template that contains products. In the source, Dynamics CRM, each product contains a sequence number (field). The user is able to modify the order of the products and CRM will adjust the sequence number accordingly. The problem is when the quote is printed, the order of the products always revert back to the original order in which they were entered and not by the sequence number.

In Word, you can manually set the order by opening the 'Edit Recipient List', find the quote_product_sequence_number field column, and sort. But I need this to be automated.

I tried recording a macro as I walked through the manual steps, but the macro does not record anything when the 'Edit Recipient List' dialog box is open. 

I tried adding this code ... but I get an 'object required' error.
Sub SequenceOrder()

' Sort by Sequence
sequence = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields("Qu ote_Product_Sequence_Number").Value
sequence.Value.Sort SortOrder:=wdSortOrderAscending

End Sub

Any ideas?

Ink Tools Not Available in MS Word 2013 With External Tablet

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 08:43 AM PDT

Hello,

I recently bought a Wacom Bamboo writing tablet to take notes on class handouts in MS Word. When I control my cursor with the tablet, the Ink Tools> Pens section appears in the top ribbon, but when I tap on it, everything but the options for Thickness and Select Objects tool are greyed out, disallowing me from writing on the document.

The only solution I've been able to find is to go to Turn Windows Features On and Off and select Tablet PC Components, which is already checked off.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

Kaylee

Is there any help? WORD 2010 crashes and loses current document permanently.

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:58 AM PDT

I have had this problem with Windows Pro 8.1 (using WORD 2010) since I started using BitDefender Total 2014-2015 about three months ago.

WORD crashes when I try to save a heavily edited document.  It loses the 10-minuted auto-recovery document as well as the prime document.  I asked Windows to record a dump file, but I can't find where these dump files are.

What gets me mad as this happens after extensive editing sessions and I lose thousands of corrections.  I've never had such dismal performance from Microsoft before this time.  I have used Word 2.0, 6.0. Office 95, 97, 2000.  Why am I having so much misery with WORD 2010?

Is there any solution?

word 2010 documents are being saved all over the place--I need to find out where they belong as if the computer was new

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 07:30 AM PDT

I have windows 7 ultimate and use word and office 2010. (im sorry that microsoft gave the same name to multiple and different things such as email and documents)

Opening statement: My computer literacy is medium so most of the basics i know so that as I get a reply or 2 I can fly with it.

When opening a document and then when clicking "save"--over the past few years those documents are saved onto the hardrive into dozens of locations and no matter how hard I try I cannot get them straightened back out. I realize that it usually returns to the location last saved to but no matter what i do the locations are impossible to figure out even after moving all documents to what i thought was the correct folder and making sure over a period of days and weeks to get it saving correctly by navigating painstakingly to the correct location and hitting "save".  Yet STILL they are all over the place. The best way is to give some examples --I see no other way to clarify the problem. 

A couple weeks ago I decided to tackle the problem and sought out all documents and MOVED them to the correct folder and deleted and cleaned up other folders in which documents were all over the place. (a good example of a mistake was saving a document into a created folder so that it would be there when i searched instead of clicking on "open"--and up comes a list of 13,289 documents going back decades. That was likely the root of the problem. But I cleaned that up and let them all go into the one giant "documents resorvoir" and if there was an important critical one i would save it into a backup folder off the system such as my backup drive. 

The situation at this moment-->I open or start a new document and there are dozens of places it goes when i hit save--or if i go "attach file" when sending an email. I moved all documents to C/users/jeff/my documents and after doing that i deleted the various empty folders where they had been.  But i cannot figure out--and i simply do not understand all the locations to choose from or how to stop them and why a document has dozens of options where it might be that the computer chooses.    users/jeff/my documents--so why if i open or create a document do i look up at the top of the screen and it shows a path name a mile long that is someplace else like "libraries"??   what is the difference between users jeff my document and "libraries" which also has documents under it.   the users i believe is locked or something and shows a little lock--what then is the purpose of "libraries"??  why is "libraries" not under c-users-jeff-my documents?   why if i save a document painstakingly saving it to users my documents then i open an email to attach it--ITS MISSING??  why when i click on something else it then shows a window that shows about 5 or 6 recent documents BUT THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE MISSING???

i am profficient enough that if someone can reply to WHERE ARE DOCUMENTS SUPPOSED TO BE?"--i can do the rest but why no matter how many times that i do it are my documents all over the place and if i email and try to attach or open word and click up at the upper left OPEN--up comes a list of documents and yet again up at the top of the screen i have to navigate all over the computer to keep trying to get back to c drive--users--jeff--my documents.?  

I will try to attach a picture that shows an example of opening word but then there are dozens of places in which a document is lost and no way to know WHERE CAN I MAKE THEM BE AS IF THE COMPUTER WAS NEW.  another note is that it does not list them correctly--i know about list "by date or modified etc" however i constantly spot them where they are not listed right. i can create a document this minute and save it and it will become lost and i have to track it down by going to multiple locations and then i will find it and it will be in a random list--not alphabetic--not by date--not by anything. it will also not be listed in "today" yesterday--a long time ago.   those sometimes get lucky but rarely. My documents are totally out of control and i can fix them if i get a reply   thanks...

Picture Content Control - inserted photos not filling control frame size

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 06:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2010, I am creating a template with a Picture Content Control. I have sized the frame to the desired area to work well with the other Text content boxes.

However, when a photo is added, the photo maintains it's original aspect ratio, and does not completely fill the Content fram. I've added pics below to show this.

I've read in this community that the picture should fill the entire content area, but I am having no luck.

Ideally, I'd like the Content frame to act like an Instagram frame where the picture can be centered and sized as desired to completely fill the 1:1 content frame, or whatever the Content frame size is.

I'm not sure if this is capable in Word, but hopefully some of you can help me with some guidance.

 

Copying multiple pragraphs from word to a cell in excel

datasource questions

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:58 AM PDT

is there a maximum number of fields you can put in a data source file?

In a delimited data source file, Quotes surrounding each field and fields separated by either the tab character, comma, or semicolon,  Why would word not recognize the delimiter?

I get an error message saying the data source can not be opened because it lacks a valid database.  In word versions prior to Word 2010, this was not a requirement.  How do you add a "valid database" to a data source?

I'm using a DataAccess Corporation product called Visual Dataflex (VDF) to create a database application using their embedded database.  I'm using a com Automation class generated by VDF based upon the MSWORD14.olb file.  I had used the com automation to create the datasource in a Word document.

Any help in getting answers to my questions is appreciated.

WinWord crashes on startup

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 05:06 AM PDT

I have an experience with Winword crashing on start-up, even in safe mode (not Windows safe mode, just winword /s), Excel crashes in normal mode but not in safe mode and PowerPoint just works fine.

I did try 365 but gave it up and bought disks instead hoping that might help, it didn't.  I am an adjunct professor trying to set homework and upload it to a university coursesite, right now that is hard but using google docs (and output to MSWord format) I manage but miss out on special characters and symbols.

With 365 I tried many times to repair, reinstall and so forth without success, I have a Windows7 OS.

Thanks for any help.

How to stop new page when creating new numbered heading

Posted: 05 Sep 2014 04:48 AM PDT

Hi

Our company have developed some Word templates to be used for all our documentation.

But the template I'm using now are created so that every new numbered heading (1. Intro,  2. Heading A,  3. Heading B) starts on a new page.  

So as soon as I type "2. New Heading" is adds a page break before the heading.

How can I prevent this behaviour so that my numbered headings will start where the previous paragraphs stops.

Using Word Art in Office Word 2013

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:19 PM PDT

I normally use Publisher to do most of my work but I recently encountered a new situation that requires me to use Word.  Now this is something interesting and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I was creating a document that required me to use a text box which is really a simple operation but when I tried to punch it up a little bit by adding some word art I couldn't get it to work.  I couldn't get text to flow around it or even using other tools didn't work.  Is this peculiar to Word since I never encountered this situation in Publisher.  However I need to note that when I'm not using a text box then when I insert word art text flows around it perfectly.  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks for any and all help.

Determine field code page position during merge

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:55 PM PDT

Is there any way to determine the page position of a field code during a merge operation, recognizing that the position can change based on the result of the merge?

Specifically, for a contract, if a sig block won't quite fit on the page, I want to insert text that says "Signatures on the following page." and then insert a page break immediately following.

I suppose that could be done either if I can see that the location where that line would appear is beyond a certain point on the page, or if the page count of the location of the signature block is 1 higher (but not sure how, because then it would need to insert the notice on the prior page).

I've gone through all of the Word field codes and didn't see anything that would let me do the first, and am not sure how to do the second.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Colin

Word 2013 automatically defaults to File

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 07:29 PM PDT

In previous versions of Word, if I was on the home tab or Insert tab on the menu bar it stayed on that tab until you changed it. However, in office 2013, any time I type in the Word document it automatically goes back to the file tab. Is there a way to change this back to the way it was in previous versions that it stays on the tab you were using?

Word Paragraph Defaults Not Working

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I cannot get a change to the Word Paragraph Defaults to stick.  Particularly, if I check "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style," and then try all manner of saves (Set Default, OK), and select to make the change to all documents using normal.dotx, the change does not survive the current document.  Neither does it apply to the current document in paragraphs already typed (this latter problem is not the issue, as I really care about setting it for future use).

can't create a permanent word template in 2003 and 2007 or 2010

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 11:27 AM PDT

First of all 2010, 2007 were no improvement over 2003. Its ironic that state employees were taking classes on how to change from 2003 to 2007. Imagine? That hard to do. So here's the problem I'm having besides the re-organization and stupid button. If I create a new normal.dot or import same from another machine. 2007 still defaults to normal.htm. If I delete it word re-creates it. If I save my normal.dot as normal.dotm it reverts to the original word normal.dotm so my changes are lost. I have no use for the normal.dotm. Calibri is a nice font and I use it in graphics applications but for writing readable text I like Palitino. In general for text the normal font should be serif and my personal taste is that I dislike Times New Roman. I have a hierarchy of styles or style set I use for all my writing. Why is it so difficult to get that established as the default style in word? I've tried various articles and help files and they all lead to temporary solutions. What I can't get to happen is for word to open my normal.dot instead of its normal.dotm and I can't change the normal.dotm file. I'd like to either remove normal.dotm so it doesn't come back or make word default to normal.dot. Another problem is every word installation seems to load the files into different locations so there's no way to ask online where they are or which one word is actually using.

What templates will help adapt the Apple version of Word Notebooks to Windows

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:22 AM PDT

I have been migrating from Word 2013 to the PC version of the same. One of the things that is lost in the transition is the ability to use the Apple Word notebooks with their tabbed sections. These are not available in the Windows version since Microsoft wants to get us to use One Note. But I already have the notebook filled with work so I am looking for a template. I just tried the Student template but it seems to only want a list of content, not the content. That is no help. I want to cut and paste from the Apple Word notebook template into one that will also work with Windows Word. Any ideas? Thanks

Default properties and company listed in Word docs

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:21 AM PDT

I am a one-person company, and I use an HP computer with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

I noticed that on some of my Word docs when I open "Properties" that the "company" listed is "Hewlett-Packard." This happens on all new documents, and it's there on new documents that were created the past couple of years. See the attached screen shot. I have highlighted the right side of the shot where the company name shows up.

Previously, the company name was my company, which is not Hewlett-Packard.

How do I change the default setting so in the Properties it says the company name is my company and not Hewlett-Packard?

Yes, I can change it on individual documents, but I want a universal change for all new documents created going forward.

Thank you very much!

Adding a new level of numbered heading to existing template

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:20 AM PDT

Can anyone tell me how to add new heading styles to an existing template? For example, I have a template with 5 levels of numbered headings, down to, say, 1.2.2.3.1. But now I need to add Section 1.2.2.3.1.1 and there is no heading built in for that level. The existing heading 6 is something else that is not connected to this numbering system. I know how to build a new template from scratch in Word 2010, but I have no idea how to modify this existing one and am also confused about some of the changes in Word 2013. Does anybody know how to do this? 

Word 2013 crashes when mouse pointer is placed over the author picture in a comment

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:15 AM PDT

Hi!

I am using Word 2013, with all latest updates. The problem is that Word crashes every time I place the mouse marker on top of the author picture in a comment. This happends with all my word documents. Working with comments using Menu > Review >Comments menu works fine, as long as I make sure not to place my mouse pointer over the picture. Is this a bug in Word 2013? I have no other problems with word.

I have tried to log in to both OneDrive and to Office 365 (from File > Account), but that does not seem to make any difference.

Issue with Wildcard Search and Replace

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 06:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve with wildcard search and replace in Word 2013 for Windows.

I have a document that I'm editing, in which the author(s) have inconsistently used 1 space and 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence. To make things consistent, I want to set everything to 2 spaces after every period at the end of a sentence. I found this wild card formula that should accomplish what I need:

Find: ([.\?\!]{1} )([A-Z]{1})

Replace with: \1 \2

But EVERY time I use this formula to replace one found instance, I get the following:

Original: ...normal aging. In humans... (notice, 1 space after the period)
Replaced: ...normal aging. I n humans... (it's putting a space between the first and second letter of the sentence! why?!)

I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. Logically, it all looks good to me. Any help would be much appreciated.

I want Outlook to share Word's AutoCorrect list

Microsoft Word 2010 - Save problems

Micorsoft Word Constantly says "Not Responding" using Window 8.1

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:11 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Window 8.1 and every since I have had an extremely unstable Word. 

I get the "Not Responding" message as soon as the document opens and even when I'm not doing anything in the document.  This past weekend it started a very fast flickering for about 30 seconds.   I am using Office Professional Plus 2010.   The documents that I am working on are all text with a few tables of text.  No pictures or any other graphics. I've had ran the repair and it did not fix my issue.  I can't do anything now because it is constantly saying Not Responding and the screen turns white. 

I use Excel from time to time and I have noticed the Not Responding also but it is not as bad as it is with WORD.  I also use PowerPoint yet I have no issues when using it.

PLEASE HELP!!!

TIA

document caused a serious error last time it was openened ?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 05:42 PM PDT

Hi, currently trying to open my word doc and getting this message, it says that I can perform data recovery but that will only extract the text. Am halfway through an assignment and need this doc to open properly.

delete contracts

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:50 AM PDT

Thanks Andreas for your answer.
I found this on the MS site:

CRMContract.Delete Method
The Delete method deletes a contract.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Delete(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ContractId As String
)
[C#]
public void Delete(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ContractId
);
[C++]
public: void Delete(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ContractId
);Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller
must have the prvDeleteContract privilege and access rights on the object to
be deleted. See CUserAuth.

ContractId

Specifies the ID of the contract to be deleted.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is
reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail .OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example:
{6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}



I'd like to know if someone already tried implementing this method..is it
working?

Would also like to know, in case it is working fine, does it work for a
contract which is in: Invoiced, Cancelled or Expired?



Thanks

Eric

Customized Contact fields.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 08:14 AM PDT

If you only have two more fields to add to your contact form, I would
recommend simply "hijacking" some existing fields of the appropriate type
(picklist, datetime, etc.) that you are not using. You can rename them on the
form. I'd be careful about deleting fields (as Peter says, it is unsupported)
and you don't necessarily know what the ramifications will be.

Thousands Excel customer details, how to import to CRM?

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 08:59 AM PDT

OK, I'm going to use the second option: to use the Data Migration Framework.

1. Use SQL Server Data Transformation Services to extract you data from
Excel into the interim CDF database;

2. Run the data migration tool to load the data into CRM.

I think there are many people in this newsgroup have been done it, :)
Does anyone can show us a tour to how to do it?

Simply, we have 5 .csv files, each contains [Name] [Address] [Accounts].

How can we import them to CRM?
(There are some links in [Accounts], so we can't import it by CRM directly)

Thanks.

Online screen changes not offline

Posted: 22 Apr 2005 07:43 AM PDT

Hi,

I found that when making form changes, after deploying it and
restarting IIS, you have to open up outlook (close it if it was open)
and then click on the root microsoft CRM folder (not on accounts or any
other of the sub folders). You will notice the first time you click on
it, it takes longer to load than usual, and during this time it seems
to synchronise any form changes.

Random Blank Spaces at Bottom of Word Doc

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 01:33 PM PDT

I'm writing a thesis with a lot of footnoting, and annoyingly it frequently happens that two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the footnote section) on a given page. Fiddling around with the footnotes (increasing or decreasing their length), or with the body, sometimes helps, but this is not ideal--I shouldn't need to alter what I'm saying artificially in order to use much needed space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

Office Save as > Contacting the server for information

Bad User Experience:

 

When I try to save a document, sometimes it takes a VERY long time to browse to a location.

 

File >> save as >> click the browse folder icon below.

 

 

Often I will get this message box for up to 10 – 15 seconds or longer!

 

I have no idea why it takes so long (whether it be OneDrive or sharepoint or something else) but it is frustrating that it takes so long even if I only want to save to my desktop.

bug report: SynonymInfo causes Out Of Memory error with certain words

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Certain words -- "walking" and "onboard" are two -- cause a runtime error when used with Synonym info.

To reproduce, enter this into the Immediate Window of the Word VBA window:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walking").Word

You'll get error 5824, Insufficient memory or disk space. Most words work fine, e.g.:

   ?Word.Application.SynonymInfo("walk").Word

No error there.

Doing a quick Google search nets that this bug has been around in Word Interop since at least 2002! Here's an SO post from 2012: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12314157/get-synonyminfo-throws-insufficient-memory-exception-for-some-words

Is it possible to link caption numbering to 'Title'?

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I have created a new multilevel list style for my thesis in Word, with 'Title' having the chapter number (e.g. Chapter 1), and 'Heading 1' being 1.1, 'Heading 2' being 1.1.1 etc.

I would like to number my tables and figures as 1.1, 1.2 and so on, but it only gives me the option to link to heading 1, which gives me table numbers such as 1.2.1.

I would like to avoid changing my multilevel list style if possible, so is there a way to link to the 'Title' heading, instead of 'Heading 1'?

Thanks!

Why when I paste a document into word, sometimes blank space appears after a paragraph and I cannot delete the blank space in order to bring the text on the following page back? It just won't let me delete the bland spake between the 2 paragraphs.

Then I will do things like press enter at the beginning of a paragraph to move it down one space, and it will only jump the paragraph an entire page instead of just doing what I am wanting .... which is simply moving it down one space.  It seems to have a mind all its own. So frustrating!

When I try to open/save a document from/to my OneDrive Account, Word 2013 always crashes and restarts

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:53 PM PDT

My OneDrive wasn't automatically syncing so I merged my PC's documents and OneDrive folders together as one. (note: this is irreversible). Using Word and OneDrive worked for weeks after doing this. But now all the sudden, whenever i try to open a file from OneDrive or save it to OneDrive, Word always crashes and restarts. I can open my OneDrive documents on other computers without Word 2013 crashing. And I can create new files and save them to non-OneDrive places on my computer.

I've tried OneDrive troubleshooter, checking my add-ons, disconnecting my Microsoft account and etc. But nothing has fixed the problem.

p. s. i also have Windows 8.1

Word will need to be cleaned as a result. Would you like us to repair now?'' I've clicked repair but couldn't find much help. I've tried to run Word as the administrator but it still won't work.

I purchased Microsoft Office less than a year ago, and this has happened about 3-4 months ago. I'm back to college Monday so really need to sort this out asap.

Can't do envelopes and labels from Word 2000 on my new Epson WF-3620 printer

Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:07 PM PDT

The printer works fine on all facets of work...except, it will NOT print a Standard Avery label sheet from the rear slot paper feeder.  I can use that rear feeder from notepad, from a regular document, and can print Avery disk labels/case insert labels from that feeder;  but when I set it up under Tools >Envelopes and Labels....regardless of the setting, it just ejects the sheet of labels and prints the info on a plain piece of paper from the cassette.  Epson has spent hours trying to figure it out, but has come to the conclusion that it is something within Word that is causing the problem.  What's wrong?

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 01:26 AM PDT

If you typed a date for this task (not recommended, you should always use
links where at all possible) then the default start time will be 8:15 which
is 15 minutes after the calendar start time. Therefore Project has to
schedule an extra 15 minutes on the next working day to fit 8 hours in.

Set the default start time to 8:00 or better yet use links!

Actual Work vs. Target/Baseline

Hi,

It MUST change because you want the rest of the plan to be based on reality
don't you?
I do.
IMHO Project primarily has to show me a correct future plan, what has
happened before is interesting but not critical.
For my own plans, I often simply delete complete tasks.

Original plan is saved as beseline, so no need to keep it alive as a base
for a (wrong) plan.
Do you have a finish variance? You should.
Can't judge about work because for that I need more data like task type.
There is a resoruce attached to teh task isn'there?

Steve,
First, resources should be managed on the Resource Sheet - that's what
it is for. My guess is that there is some subtle difference between the
two resources, meaning that they are not duplicate in Project's "eye".

Another possibility. You didn't mention whether the file is linked to a
resource pool. If both the pool and the file have a resource named "joe"
then these resources are indeed separate and can, under some
circumstances, both be assigned to a task.

Second, given the above is not the case and you suspect corruption, go
to the MVP website at:

and look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption.

Task duration not netting when resources added.

Posted: 07 Sep 2005 01:05 PM PDT

Hi,

When you add resources to a task that has none attached, the task will react
as fixed duration. So even when you add both resources at once the duration
will not change.
To the contrary, when you allocate one resource, enter, then allocate a
second one and when the effort driven option is on (task information,
advanced) duration will adapt.

OR, when you insert the Work column into your task view, and enter the 16
hrs of work BEFORE allocating resoruces, then even if you allocate both at
once duration adapts.

I think however that having the simulation done by the software (especially

Chris,
Well, everything sounds pretty generic (i.e. default). My last question
about leveling applies to a feature of Project found under
Tools/Resource Leveling. When leveling is activated, it initiates an
algorithm that allows Project to automatically move tasks around (i.e.
shift, delay, split, etc.) to relieve resource conflicts
(overallocation). The default setting is "manual" (i.e. no leveling) but
you might want to check to see if the setting was changed to
"automatic". In the absence of a pure poltergeist (e.g. corruption),
leveling might be germane to the problem you are seeing.

The fact that the problem seemed to "fix itself" while you were out to
lunch (no pun intended), suggests that file corruption may be present.
In that case, go to the MVP website at:

and take a look at FAQ 43 - File Bloat? - Might be corruption

Project to Access Dynamic Link

Project, opened the Access file and changed some information (i.e. file
properties in msp_project table, task names in msp_tasks file, etc.). Then I
closed Access and went back to the Project file and there are no changes
there. I also tried (within the Project file) to Open via ODBC, and was
expecting to get the dialogue box I got when opening exel files asking me if
I want to Open as new file, Append or Merge. It simply opens the Access file
as a new Project.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!!!
