Microsoft Word - Form Fillable PDF in Ondrive, Word PDF does n ot work

Microsoft Word - Form Fillable PDF in Ondrive, Word PDF does n ot work

Form Fillable PDF in Ondrive, Word PDF does n ot work

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 03:03 PM PDT

I am having problems with PDF's opening in Word. I was trying to post a PDF file that is form fillable to my onedrive folder and create a link to it so I can share it and accumulate the corrections or completed forms input by others. When Word opens the file there are no fields to input information in. It's completely unfeasible to have the parties I want to share with to download it update it and upload it again.

I'm new to Skydrive-Onedrive and was rally looking forward to the possibilities. This is a huge setback. Does anybody know of a cloud system that will provide a functioning PDF viewer or is Microsoft going to correct this issue.

Question about editing (select, delete text) in 2007

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 02:58 PM PDT

I just switched from 2003 to 2007 and have a question which I'm sure is very simple but I can't figure it out.

Let's say I have 2 paragraphs, and I want to delete the end of the top paragraph and the beginning of the 2nd paragraph.

i.e.

(para 1):  One day I went to school.

(para 2):  I woke up early.

Now, say I want to get rid of the end of paragraph 1 and the beginning of paragraph 2 so that my final result will read:  "One day I woke up early."

So when I select the text I want to delete (went to school.  I) and hit delete, it ends up looking like this:

One day I

woke up early.

My question is, how can I get "woke up early" to be up there next to "One day I"????

TIA

Can't save documents on windows 2013

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 02:23 PM PDT

Whenever I try to save a document on MS Office 2013, it simply doesn't respond. I press save in the file menu, and it goes to the save menu. However, when I try to select the file to save the document in, it simply doesn't respond. The computer runs fine, it doesn't freeze or anything when I try to save, it simply continues to function as though i never attempted to save the file at all.

In Word hyperlinks, # becomes %20-%20 in IE11 and " \l " in the field code.

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 01:54 PM PDT

In hyperlinks of the form URL#comment-number, # becomes %20-%20 in IE11 and the field code is " \l ". The webpage sends an error like Page not found or Internal Server Error. Correcting the link in the browser corrects operation.

Wood 2007 H&S is recently installed in a new, cleanly installed Windows 7 + SP1. Word has 36 updates including SP3 and W7 has 163 updates. Office diagnostics find no errors. This error did not occur with the same Office 2007 H&S in an earlier W7+SP1 installation on the same PC.

This fault occurs with Excel but the links are transmitted correctly from an htm file.

Printing issues with Office 2010

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 01:54 PM PDT

Hi, I recently installed Office 2010 onto my computer, its a Hp running windows 8.

Whenever I write a word document and try to print it, the printer recognizes the document and goes through the process of running the page through, with the printing spool moving, but the page comes out blank.

The printer is  a HP Deskjet D1600 series.

The reason I think this is an Office 2010 issue is that whenever I print anything else outside of Office there are no issues and the printer works fine.

I have tried changing the font on the documents but still the same.

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

IE copy image / Paste in word does not work

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 10:32 AM PDT

Just so you'd know. Copying an image from IE 11 by searching with BING and selecting "Copy image" does not paste in Word. Word hangs for about 90 sec and than displays and empty box.

Maybe the Office or IE developers could come up with a solution.

Post Office Bar code with Word 2013

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 09:16 AM PDT

Please advise.

Office 2013: We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly.

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 08:33 AM PDT

Hi,

I've had office 2013 installed on my laptop for a while but hardly use it. I came to use it the other day and got the error:  We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. This happens as soon as I open word or excel.

I attempt to run the repair but this also fails before it even starts!

-I tried running in safe mode to disable add ins but same issue.
-I have tried creating a new user on the laptop (admin) and opening word and excel with that user but same issue.
- Did a repair from 'uninstall a program'
-uninstalled office, rebooted. Ran the fixit tool to remove click 2 run software, rebooted, re-installed office from the image file downloaded from my office.com account. All looked promising at this point but then excel closed without warning and I got the same error when trying to re-open.
-added a registry key to disable hardware acceleration in office.

Is anybody able to offer any advice on other things to try?

Does Word 2013 have updates?

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 08:27 AM PDT

I have had the Office 2013 for over a year and lately the Word program has "not responding". I go to open a document and the little mouse twirls and twirls and there is a "not responding" notice at the top.

I have to reboot my computer and try again.  This is happening a lot.  I don't have the subscription Office, but the stand alone single copy.  Are there updates?

Or should I re-install the program?

It doesn't happen to the other programs, only Word.

(Is there a fix -- I went to all the suggested MS sites and they're no help)

Office word 365 shows errors of cannot create work file, fails to import photos and Page number

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 08:15 AM PDT

I Have many problems on my office 365 word:

  • During I start word and open my document,  a message displaying "Cannot create work file. Please check temp environment." (I don't know what exactly what it said) Many times.
  • When I try to add a page number to a header, it shows error messages, probably including the cannot create work file message, and won't complete this operation.
  • In addition, when I press open in a file folder to insert a photo, a message opens describing there was a problem while importing the photo. Then, it may be also followed by the location of the file I was trying to do.

I tried to do quick and full repair, and uninstalling then reinstalling the program, but problems do still exist.

What do I have to do?

Word 2010, Unwanted Blank Page

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 07:50 AM PDT

Office Home and Student Word 2010, Windows 7 32 Bit.  I am creating a document with only a picture on each page.  I have mirror margins with a wider gutter.  There is 1 section break between the front cover and the front matter. These images are the only thing on each page, and are laid out behind the text region.  Suddenly at pages 9, 10 and 11,  I now find that an empty page (page 10) is being added in between 2 pictures (pages 9 and 11).  I can backspace to make the picture fill that blank page, but the next picture I insert has a new blank page inserted before it and so on and so on.  The picture width and height is completely within the page margins.

I have checked and rechecked all the options.  In Show all Formatting Marks, there is no break of any sort assigned at that location, no text, hidden or otherwise, only carriage returns indicated by the paragraph symbol.  Show Picture Placeholders is unchecked.  Restarting Word and re-booting the computer has no effect.

To get around this annoyance, so that I can complete this project, I have added several blank pages to the end of this document.  It seems to be working, in that there are no unwanted blank pages between the images.  But when I delete those blank pages at the end of the document, I am right back in the same boat, a blank page between the last and the 2nd to last image.  The blank page issue is going to be a "tearing my hair out" issue when I begin page numbering in the footer.

I would be very grateful for any solutions to this "phantom page" issue.

Thanks!

How to remove personal details from Comments made on Word

Posted: 14 Sep 2014 07:11 AM PDT

When I am reviewing a document and making comments, my information shows up next to the comment. This includes my name, picture, and email (when I click on my name for more information). I figured out how to remove my account picture from Comments. I just want to remove the email (it is listed as my IM contact address). The name next to my comment is okay to display.

I want to be able to control the information others can see after I email them my reviewed document.

Microsoft Word - Word 2013 & 2010 Calibri (&others) font issue

Word 2013 & 2010 Calibri (&others) font issue

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 01:20 PM PDT

I have a technical issue with Word 2013. Recently my employer upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013, which produced a side effect that I have since been unable to use the full range of symbols (phonetic etc.) in documents. The symbols display correctly if I open a document created with other versions of Word, but a large portion of symbols have disappeared from the Word 2013 version we have in work after the upgrade. I have been unable to find anything in Options or other menus that might help.

At home, I use Office 2010. All symbol ranges (IPA extensions, Thai etc.) can be used with 'Insert Symbol' function and all requisite symbols are there in the same Calibri font. I could use other fonts to get the needed symbols, but I'd very much to prefer to use Calibri.

How do I make a pic look like a magazine cover with Word?

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Hey, Guys

I would like to take a photograph and and insert it into a word document, then blow it up to make it look like a magazine cover. When I drag the corners, the picture became grossly distorted. I'm thinking that the  margins may be the problem, or something else. Got any ideas? Is there a way to enlarge the pic without losing the quality? I'd like the pic to be the same size as a standard 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper.

Much appreciated.

List Style Font Size

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:56 AM PDT

I'm creating a list style for my class notes I'd like it to do the following

Level 1: Font size 12

Level 2: Font size 10

Level 3: Font size 8

I'm able to make the number decrease in size automatically, but the content of each level stays at size 12. If I manually change the font size in the document, the font for the entire document changes.

Is there a way to have different font sizes per level in a list or does the content all need to be the same size?

Old Versions of Word

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 09:42 AM PDT

I've come across a lot of Users who still cling to old versions of Word. I paid about 300 bucks for Office 95, and still use it with XP and have 95 Word on both Win 7 pcs. The Office other parts, Excel, etc. I wouldn't load in Win 7, as they don't work properly [my newer pc got Display problems with Office on the Desktop] and there are plenty of compatible freeware office suites.

I received a basic Office 2003 disk with an earlier, 32-bit Win 7 HP pc, and got the ready-installed Word 2010 with newer machines. I don't like being nagged at to buy or Upgrade, so I keep these newer progs in case I want to improve a 95 document with the increased font colours, etc.

There some important features missing when we Install this old Word version: Help, which installing Windows6.1-KB917607-x86.msu or Windows6.1-KB917607-x64.msu on Win 7 will facilitate, and PF7 generated Spell/Thesaurus.

Now, I don't know if anyone knows a better way to do this: but I looked for the file 95 said was missing when PF7 was pressed, mssp32.dll. I didn't have a clue where it would be in Win XP, so went searching. It was in C:\Program Files\Common Files|Microsoft Shared\Proof.

Win 7's PROOF seemed to have the same files, same size, different dates, but, maybe, they weren't going to work with 95. I copied them in, allowing 7 to Rename them (2).

So, it's all working now. Well, at least I'm still using MICROSOFT products in the main.

Table of Contents with Track Changes

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 07:42 AM PDT

I am creating a series of long documents (most are in the 500+ pages range). I use the track changes function to keep track of edits that I make in the documents as changes are published in the original source material. Each document has a Table of Contents.

Here's the problem: When I make a change that requires updating the TOC, track changes records it as an insertion of an entirely new TOC and deletion of the old version. It takes long enough to generate the TOC in the first place. Having to accept the insertion and deletion takes that much longer.

Is there a way to use Track Changes without picking up changes in the TOC? If I turned it off before I generate the updated TOC, would I lose the markup on other changes that I made?

How can a Word document attached to en email have a modification date later then the send date? (Court case)

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Hello, I'm involved in a court case, in which a Word document is used as evidence. I have to figure out if this is the real, original document , or a modified version. The problem:

an email is send 10th of February 2012 , and received in the inbox of MS Outlook 2007 (Office 2007). Attached to this email is a Word document (docx) , that is supposed to be created the 2nd of January.

When I open the attached document, Word (2007) opens. I now go to "Top left button-> Prepare ->   Properties". In the window that comes up I click on "Document properties->Advanced properties". A window opens that shows:

Created : 2 January 2012 . (Which seems correct)

Modified: 28 June 2012. ?????

Accessed 13 September 2014. Which is correct. (The date that I'm writing this).

Notice that I have'nt  detached and saved this document to the computer.

Question: How can the Modification date be AFTER the date that the mail was send ? If I had saved the document and opened it, and modified it, it would have been an OTHER document and the attachement would still keep the same Created/Modified dates. No??

I don't think that the person is question is capable of modifying the mail message on the server or on my local outlook file (PST, maintained by MS exchange). If he had the capability of doing that, I think a possible explanation COULD be that someone modified the document on 28 June 2012, and reinjected it into my email folder to make it look as if it was delivered February 10. I don't think they are capable of that.

So any other explanation?

Thank you

'No Bullets or Numbering' on linked styles after importing styles using organiser

Posted: 13 Sep 2014 02:30 AM PDT

I am attempting up update the look and Feel of documents created with an earlier version of template.  Both the old and the new templates contain multilevel  numbered list linked styles and both work fine on their own.

When importing the styles from the new template in an attempt to update existing documents Look and Feel, using organiser, the linked styles have no numbering.  When looking at the linked style definition after import, 'No Bullets and Numbering' is evident. I can find no reason this might be happening.  It is as if the import is causing a problem. (Although it might be something I have done).

Both templates use the same style names and I don't know how to reset the 'No Bullets or numbering' setting on the imported styles without 'reverting to the parent (heading) styles (Heading 1 though Heading 9) ie deleting the styles and recreating them manually on each document to be updated.

Is there a way to tell Word 2010 to remove the 'No Bullets or Numbering' setting in the imported linked style ie to 'inherit' Bullets and numbering from the 'based on' parent styles' .  The numbering used is complex and requires multilevel linked styles.

Help with Resume template

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:59 PM PDT

This is probably a really stupid question. I'm helping a friend do a resume and a template saves time. I'm using Word 2010. In the template it says to add another experience, education, etc entry click the sample entries and click the plus sign that appears. I'm not seeing a plus sign. Am I over looking it or what? 

Please help me get my document back! Or learn from my mistake!

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 03:58 PM PDT

I bought a subscription to Office365.  I spent twelve hours yesterday working on a document that has to be filed Monday.  Let's call it "Brief." As always, I saved my document every fifteen minutes or so to my "OneDrive" folder.    

At the end of the day, after I went home, I started getting emails and texts from something claiming to Microsoft.  The emails told me someone had been trying to access my account.  I figured this was spam and ignored it.  

This morning, I opened "Brief" to finish it up and I got a message saying I was locked out of Office 365 because someone had tried to access my account.  I had to enter a code that eventually I persuaded Microsoft to send to my email address.  When I entered the code, I was told I have to change my password before I can open my document.  So I did.  I did all of this on Microsoft's website, so I assume this was legit.  

Once I had entered the code and changed my password, I went to open "Brief" again.  

A menu appeared asking whether I wanted to open the "desktop version" or the "server version" of my document.  

The menu had frozen everything else, so I couldn't do anything until I made a choice.  I couldn't see the document.  I couldn't see the document information.  The menu didn't tell me which was the more recent version -- the "desktop" version or the "server" version.  The menu wouldn't let me navigate around to let me see which version was the later version.  I was still locked out.  Nor did the menu give me a choice to save both versions.  In fact, the menu didn't tell me it was going to overwrite anything at all.  It just asked me which version I wanted to open.  

So I flipped a coin and chose "server version."  

Here is where the inconvenience became a nightmare.  

I lost all my work.  

Apparently the "server" version had never been synced with the "desktop" version.  I'm guessing Microsoft turned off the "sync" between my desktop OneDrive folder and the cloud some time ago without telling me, and the "desktop" version was the one I had been working on all day in happy ignorance.  

Also, apparently when I chose to open the "server" version, it immediately over-wrote the "desktop" version -- again, without warning me.  

So all my work from yesterday is now gone.  

Now, the only version available of my "Brief" is the old version, before all the work I did yesterday.  That's all that's available either on the desktop or on the cloud "OneDrive" server.  

I called Microsoft support and their tech told me I hadn't saved my document properly and there's nothing I can do to get it back.   

Can somebody please tell me how to get my work back?  

If not, please, everyone in the whole wide world, learn from my mistake.  

Please, for the love of God:  Do not use Office365.  It will take your documents into its own domain, lock you out on a whim, delete your hard work, and finally laugh at you when you beg them to take pity on you.  

(Is my nightmare as horrible as being held hostage by ISIS?  No, of course not.  But then, I'm not asking anyone to deploy hellfire missiles against Microsoft.  I have some sense of proportion.  I'm just begging someone to take heed and fix this problem).

Error in computed schedule

Mike,

Yes, I levelled the project. There's no resource overallocation. The
result is a schedule that has a gap of about 3 weeks between a task and it's
successor and the only resource assigned is unused for the same period.

The place where I recall seeing this problem the most is where I have a
predecessor/successor relationship between a task and a summary task. This
is allowed isn't it? When I remove the link to the summary task and enter it
as a link between non-summary tasks, I have been able to get rid of the gaps.

URGENT: How can I get the "summary progress" field value

Posted: 13 Sep 2005 07:38 AM PDT

It is not clear how you expect this to work.
Summary tasks are probably less linear than individual tasks so the result
of this sort of calculation is likely to be inaccurate.
Why not just keep the tasks up to date and monitor the variation in the
finish date of the summary task.

Recalculate Baseline, Earned value fields after resource cost chan

Posted: 12 Sep 2005 03:53 PM PDT


Hi Raj,

As a follow on to John's ideas, if you don't have an original copy, I think
I would copy the project, work on that by selecting all tasks and making
them all 0% complete. Apply the new cost data, then baseline - you can then
copy this Baseline cost directly into your live project as John suggested.

Resources Will Not Level

Posted: 12 Sep 2005 11:57 AM PDT

Hi Catfish,

I can't promise anything, I have seen leveling gone berzerk sometimes
(especially on files that have been published to Server) but as a great fan
of Leveling in Project, I would like to have a ccrack at this.
Can you send me the file (if necessary for confidentiality reasons change
all the task names to Task f.i.), I shall have a look at it.

Greetings,

Raj,
I repeat the statement that baseline fields are static - a snapshot in
time. If resources were added or deleted in a subtask and that subtask
was re-baselined to reflect the change, the change would NOT be captured
in the Summary Line baseline unless it to was re-baselined. Remember,
baseline values are not rolled up - sometimes users forget.

Hope this helps.

Where can I buy software JUST ONLY for Word for Windows ?

> The emachines (brand new!) I bought has a word program from Hades. I need 

If the $400 price tag for office seems too high I might suggest that you try
Open Office instead. The current version handles Word files pretty well, the
testing/beta version handles them very well indeed. It has a built in export
to PDF anyway which is a considerably better format to distribute files in
than .doc as, I am sure you have noticed this, not everyone has MS Word ;)

The URL is www.openoffice.org and it's free so you lose nothing by giving it
a go.

"When you reimport are you importing to a new project or merging with the
previous file? try merging and see what that does." WHEN WE REIMPORT, WE
HAVE TRIED USING AS A NEW PROJECT AND AS A MERGE, THE DATES ARE STILL IGNORED
AND ARE RESET TO TODAYS DATE, IF WE IMPORTED A DATE AS 09.20.05 PROJECT SET
THE DATE TO 09.13.05

"To do this you may need to export the task ID and reimport with that and
use this ID as the merge key." WE EXPORT THE UNIQUE ID AND TASK ID BOTH.

WE HAVE ALSO TRIED EXPORTING ONLY THE WORK FIELD/COLUMN NOW AND NO CHANGES
EITHER.

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

Fixed Duration tasks being changed by Project

Posted: 11 Sep 2005 11:14 PM PDT

Hi Rod

I tried saving immediately on open and also saving as a mpd and reopening
and saving back to a new name.
Didn't make any difference.
I then copied/pasted to a blank schedule.
This appeared to work inirtially.
But no.
The unexpected result is, example: seeing work of 0.5days with the resource
listed as 100% allocated for a 1 day duration task.!!
The strange thing is thet the error messsage states that "the resource is
assigned outside the original dates for task #/name..... The duration of the
fixed-duration task will change to accomodate the resource requirement."
The schedule has been baselined, but why should it worry about resource
allocations? Why doesn't it observe that I want to control the duration, and
alter work or units as you would normally expect.
I fully understand W= D*U
There are no constraints on tasks, all are asap.
I have tried saving immediately on open and also saving as a mpd and
reopening and saving back to a new name.I have also copied/pasted to a blank
schedule.

Still have this problem.
Appreciate your interest.

Regards..........Geoff

Resources across projects

Posted: 10 Sep 2005 08:15 AM PDT

Hi Katherine,

You are correct, when using a resource pool file, the maximum units are
defined in the pool, not per project. You can take the suggestion I made
earlier, with filters and manually input the new rate per project as you
replace the resource. Unfortunately, it will need to be repeated for each
project with the new allocation.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

How to set days in a month to equal a real calendar month

Duration always refer to working time only. IF you want something to go by
the regular wall calendar, used elapsed time. So enter a 1 month lag time
as "30 eday".

Work hours and Duration don't add up correctly

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 08:58 AM PDT

Duration is not the sum of work hours.
The summary task should show the total of the sub task WORK as long as the
summary task does not have any resources assigned to it. If it does then it
will be higher.
Duration of the summary task is calculated as the difference between the
start of the earliest sub task and the finish of the latest sub task. If the
two sub tasks are parallel and are one day each then the summary task will
have a duration of a day. If they are sequential then the summary task will
have a duration of two days. If there is a gap between them then the summary
task will be even longer than the sum of the two sub task durations.

Remaining Work Being Added Back

Posted: 09 Sep 2005 08:51 AM PDT

I agree with your comment about who should be reducing the Remaining Work. I
used the role admin too loosely in this case. I am also the project manager
(and the admin and the resource manager and the......).

I suspect I am causing the problem based on your explanation. Most of my
activities have multiple resources on them. For a variety of reasons, I
sometimes increase the duration of activities (in Project Pro) by simply
adding days to the duration of the activity (as opposed to having resources
increase remaining work to allow Project to calculate automatically). Its
just a convenience issue to have the file statused correctly. Do you suspect
this is the problem too.

Appreciate your assistance.

How is the suggested plug-in any more "real" than the method I
