Bad Disk

Posted: 09 Jul 2007 09:59 AM PDT

As of not too long ago, Microsoft was still offering replacements of retail
version Office XP. Other than that, at what point do you think the OP has to
accept responsibility for the care (or lack of care) of his own property?

Office 2003 document shortcuts not appearing on New menu in Vista

Posted: 09 Jul 2007 12:40 AM PDT

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I was however requesting information related to new
documents created when you right click within windows explorer and select the
New option (folders, shortcuts etc). Normally Office adds entries for the
various document types, but they have not appeared for my installation in
Vista.

Thanks

I'm using a MSDN license. I did enter the license key in my transform, and
indeed, the installation doesn't prompt for it. But as soon as I open, e.g.,
Word, it asks me to activate either by phone or internet.

Appreciate your response, unfortunately that didn't work - I've updated to

XP just to make this work (maybe).

Assuming that you are using appropriate keyboard character mapping (US
English should do), Windows provides three native methods of inserting so-called
special characters and/or typograhical characters (tildes, accents, ligatures,
umlauts, etc.). The clunkiest is that crude "character mapper" applet that has
come with Windows since 3.1. The second method, also clunky, are to hold the ALT
key down while entering either the character's 3-digit ASCII code from the
numeric keypad or its 4-digit ANSI character code from the numeric keypad; the
ANSI code is the ASCII code with a prepended "zero". Go figure. The third method
is just silly and provides pretty good evidence the M$ uses school kids in its
"good idea" department: Windows' "dead keys". It's such a looney idea that I
can't even remember how to invoke it: Whenever the user types a letter that
"could" require a diacritical, it waits to display the letter until the *next*
keypress. If the next keypress is that same letter or a space, the character is
displayed. If the next keypress is a diacritical marking such as accent, then
the appropriate character is printed. Oops: Not all of the necessary characters
appear on computer keyboards.
A far more elegant solution is to install and use:
http://allchars.zwolnet.com/

This little freeware gem has been around for years (since Win3.1, at least)
and allows insertion of all of the printable characters in your currently-loaded
typeface's characterset by means of mnemonic three-key press. For example, ñ, is
produced by: <hotkey>,n,tilde; "em-dash" (—; so-called because it occupies the
letterspace of letter "M") is <hotkey>,m,-(hyphen or "dash"). Warning, as you
may notice in this post, because NNTP -- and therefore many "real" newsreaders
-- supports only "real" ASCII, if the characters are not present in the
characterset in use by your *reader* he'll see gibberish or "?" instead of the
intended character.
As a little bonus, allchars' "macro" facility allows the user to store
paragraphs of pre-defined text that may then be spooled into the current
document by use of a three-key user-assigned tag.
Since allchars "wedges" its output through the keyboard buffer, it is
global in effect and may be used in any software application that accepts
keyboard input and, of course, supports the full characterset.
I suspect that the only way overcome the spelling checker's limitations are
to find a broader dictionary or to explicitly add "misspelled" words containg
the "special" characters as they are encountered.

Office 2007 Pro - Purchased Product Key, Can't Convert Trial

Posted: 27 Jun 2007 09:54 PM PDT

Problem solved -

Well, I took a chance today and threw a few extra dollars at a CD of the OEM
Preinstallation Kit (OPK).
(With 5 PC's in the house I'd need it eventually if I ever got the first
install going - besides, it was probably cheaper than last night's call to
the States).
Not only did it work with the product key I'd bought online, it also handled
the OEM Medialess Licence Kit I bought earlier by mistake - so Office 2007 is
now on the notebook too :)

The lesson out of all this?
If you live in Australia and like the trial version, ditch it and spend $30
on the OPK before you go any further. It's much better on the blood pressure.
A lot of this hassle would be avoided if the Activation Wizard was more
helpful (something like "The Product Key you provided is for Version X, but
you are trying to activate Version Y").

Thanks to all who contributed. Hope I can save someone else the grief I went
through.

Cheers
Phil.

It makes it easy for me to just drop a DVD into the media server

dumps cable programs, adding it to the same PVR menus. It also
makes it easy for me to space shift shows off to DVD for later
viewing when the harddrive is getting full. I've also jiggered
things so it automatically converts disks between PAL and NTSC
formats as my girlfriend's father is from England and we sometimes
have to deal with various region codes and video formats.

All the low level stuff is obviously there on Linux, so only the
UI frosting needs a bit of work at this point, and of course the
whole patent and copyright issues need to be addressed. It seems
like Linspire is trying to assemble a properly licensed and legal
codec pack that can be used on any Linux distro, so this problem
might be addressed in the short term (though the long term solution
is still to fix the broken patent/copyright system).

Microsoft Project 2005

Posted: 21 Sep 2005 08:01 AM PDT

There is not a Microsoft Project 2005. That much we know for sure.
The schedule that I've seen published shows private beta late this year
(this is when select parties get to try out the new features for the first
time) then public beta in early 2006 (wherein you typically sign up and can
download or get a copy) and then release sometime in 2006 after they get the
bugs out. I'm expecting it will be somewhat coordinated with the release of
the next version of office.

One good source for information is dieter z's blog.
http://blogs.msdn.com/dieterz/default.aspx

The features that have been publically announced include:
Multi-Level Undo, Recalc Change Highlighting, Server-Side Project Updates
The first two are of interest to desktop users. The server-side updates are
a HUGE change for project server. They allow you to recalculate the schedule
without a round-trip to project pro. This allows you to much more easily
allow schedule updates from other systems or through other means. I consider
this to be a big step forward.

On 4 or 5 occasions, including this morning.  I had saved a document, plus it was automatically saving.  When I got ready to upload the document it said it was in a docm form, so the I could not load the document.  I did save as word for word 2013, when I opened it again all of my work, except the title page and one reference on the reference page had disappeared.  I had this problem when I first installed office 2013, so in the past I had been very cautious and didn't save on my portable drive.  I have looked everywhere but nothing shows up in any locations and it doesn't even have the option to restore the previous version. 

Problem with Microsoft Word Documents

Can "Ignore All" be made persistent?

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 11:14 AM PDT

This is for Word 2010, but I've had the same yearning for all versions of Word before that, ever since I switched from WordPerfect.

I often work on documents that use unusual words, or made-up words. When I spell-check, they are always identified as spelling errors.

I do not want to add them to my dictionary, because in another document I might very well want the spell checker to identify them as spelling errors.

I do not want to create a custom dictionary, because I would be creating a different one for every document I work on (very cumbersome).

If I use "Ignore All" I can get Word to ignore the word wherever it appears in the document, but I have to do that again each time I re-open the document. Very cumbersome if I have 50 such words in each document and have to re-Ignore-All all of them each time I open the document.

As a result of this, the spell checker has become pretty much useless to me since the squiggly red line below a word has lost its meaning.

WordPerfect used to have an Ignore-All type feature, which would persist between sessions. I think it was called a Document Dictionary. It was specific to the particular document. Is there any way to get the same effect in Word, perhaps with a macro or VBA?

I am not a macro or VBA programmer, so though I've tried to program this, I haven't gotten very far. Initially I thought there might be a VBA function to create variables that would stick with the document and would persist across sessions, and that I could implement a "document dictionary" using such variables. Then one macro would first do an "Ignore All" for the selected word, and then add a selected word to the document dictionary. A second macro, which would execute on open, would automatically do an "Ignore All" for every word in the document dictionary.

Another thought I had was to use the Language -> Do not spellcheck this word feature. One macro would search for a selected word throughout the document and "do not spellcheck" it wherever it appeared. That would persist across sessions, but I'd have to re-run the macro if I add the word somewhere else in the document.

Has anyone created a macro or set of macros that can implement a persistent, document-specific "Ignore-All" feature?

Thank you

Word 2007 window open unexpectedly

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 10:17 AM PDT

I realise when I open a Word 2007 document from "Recent Item" option or from a folder, the last minimised Word 2007 document opens up. When I open a Word 2007 file, it maximises the last minimised Word file as well.

I realise, it opens the Word 2007 document I selected, and the last Word 2007 document I opened (minimised) also maximises. I do not want that. It is not about opening more than one tab, but Word 2007 document maximising unexpectedly. Is there some option to get rid of this feature?

Use a Macro to "Edit Recipient List" in Word 2010

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 09:08 AM PDT

I have an Excel database with the following fields:  Volunteer Name; Days of the week (Mon to Sat); & Skills Required.

Under days of the week it is either the early or late shift the work.  For each skill column, it is either Yes or No.

I have a Word mail merge document that creates a table with the volunteers and the skills they possess.  To create a report for each shift on each day, I edit the recipient list.

I tried to record a macro that would capture the actions in the Edit Recipient List, but it does show any steps.

By hand, I select All for each day of the week and then select the single shift I want, i.e.  Monday Early.

Is there a way to edit the recipient list using a macro?

Fed up with constant reinstallations

AutoCorrect entries are missing

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:12 AM PDT

Split from this thread.


I have had a bummer of a thing occur. I'm in the middle of writing a time-crunched and very big report. I spent a couple of hours last week making some fantastic new autocorrect entries (Word 2010) but within a few days they had all disappeared. I've looked through these and other forums and I've tried a few things, but honestly I don't know about making macros or normal templates and I've even struggled to find the *acl entries, so I am prepared to wear the loss and start again.

BUT I want to get it right from the very beginning. Could you please outline steps I can take to ensure my autocorrect entries never disappear again or, if they do, which for whatever bizarre reason seems to happen a lot, that I can easily go to some backup file (which I'd commit to updating each time I make a bunch of new autocorrect entries) and wave a wand and restore it.

I'd be so grateful for your help.

Many thanks

In printing out an an envelope (using the Custom Envelope size), does not print out an address

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 07:11 AM PDT

In Word there is an option, to allow the user to set a Custom Size for an envelope.

1)  In Word 2013, I set the Custom Size for an envelope, added the From/To Address and printed out the envelope on my Epsom LP1022 - unfortunately, the envelope came out blank.

2)  I did exactly the same in Word 2010, but the envelope was printed out, with text on it.

I did (1) & (2) a few times, but the results were the same - so does this mean that there is a bug with Word 2013?

No Compatibility option at File | Info

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 06:50 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

The installation of Office 2013 that I am looking at does not have a compatibility button on the Info page as described. Even when I do a save as to an older document as the new format I cannot edit the opened file despite it showing no restrictions. What gives?

less space in numbering

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 06:49 AM PDT

I have a table and in the left column are the numbered section names for the document.  The space Word automatically inserts between the number and the section name is way too wide.  How do I reduce the space down to like one space?  Now, it's like five or six spaces.

My Microsoft office 2013 has disappeared !

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 05:18 AM PDT

Hi all, I've been using an Asus notebook for about a month now and have just tried to access my word documents but I can't get into them. Also when I click on any of the office programmes none of them come up.

Extra (useless) headings appearing due to summary addition

Posted: 28 Sep 2014 02:12 AM PDT

Hello, there!

When I add the summary to the one of my documents, the navigation pannel displays extra headings that shouldn't be there (marked in red in the first figure). I don't know why this is occurring and would like to change it by eliminating them. This is important to me because this document needs to be converted to PDF with the correct headings (without the highlighted part). The second figure shows how the PDF is now.

Thanks!

The numbering format in Office 365 isn't working properly. I never change the setting before and I can't seem to reset it either. The numbering seems to disappeared and replace with small bullets.


Microsoft word has stopped working?

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 06:20 PM PDT

Microsoft 2013 was running just fine but all of a sudden an error started coming up nonstop but not when I start it, when I am in the middle of typing, the error  says "Microsoft has stopped working" then " Microsoft word is restarting" and then it closes.

Is there any way to fix this error I have tried looking at different posts with no luck

Delete a folder.

Posted: 27 Sep 2014 04:27 PM PDT

I am currently using Microsoft Word 2010 and have the following problem.

In my document library I have a folder showing that I do not know how to get rid of. After I have completed a backup I always get a message telling me to check my backup results and come across the following message:-

Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\ALAN\Documents\Alan Documents\Alan Cooper. Error:(The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))

It also shows as this if I go to my documents.

Is there any way I can delete this from my pc ?
