How do I spread a 5 day duration over a 30 day time span

Kimi,
OK, don't get confused about Duration time and Work time - they are two
separate entities in Project. Duration is the time span (normally
measured in working days between the task Start and Finish) and Work,
(normally expressed in hours), is the amount of effort one or more
resources will need to complete the task. If a resource is assigned to
work on the task 100%, then Work hours WILL equal Duration hours.

You may or may not want a fixed duration type task, it depends on
whether the task is effort driven or not. Let's assume you do want a
fixed duration task, that can be set in one of two ways. If you want all
your tasks to be fixed duration (the default is fixed units, i.e. fixed
resource assignment allocation) go to Tools/Options/Schedule tab and
change the "Default task type". If you only want a particular task to be
fixed duration, select the task and hit the Task Information icon or
menu item. On the Advanced tab change the "Task Type" and uncheck the
"effort driven" box next to it.

Once the above is done, enter the 30 days (I'll assume you want working
days instead of calendar days) into the Duration field. Assign your
resource or resources. Then in the Work field, (you will probably need
to add that to whatever view you are using), enter 40 hours. You should
see the resource allocation change to 17% in the Resources Name field.
Now you have a task of 30 days duration with an assigned resource who
will spend 40 hours sometime during that 30 day period working on the
task.

Hope this helps.

Andrew,
You're welcome. The most likely cause, (if the word "ERROR" didn't
appear in the field column), is that Project is not set for automatic
calculation. Either hit "F9" (manual calculate) or go to
Tools/Options/Calculation tab and set calculation to automatic.

Hope this helps.

By "high level tasks" I assume you mean the Summary Lines. First filter
out the Summary Lines by only showing lines where the Summary field is
equal to "no" (also remember to uncheck the box at the bottom of the

Redistribution of effort on adding new resource

Posted: 04 Oct 2005 02:44 AM PDT


Amit wrote: 

To come up with a formula, I'd have to do a series of these types of
events, then figure out how project is doing the calculation. But when
I first looked at the numbers, without having Project available, it
looked reasonable because when you added the third resource, the work
of the other 2 decreased in "reasonable proportion", as did the
duration (roughly a third). Which is what I expect with an effort
driven task.
How project handles these things doesn't always make sense to many of
us. But once you understand what it does, it's usually fairly
predictable, given you know the "rules" by which it operates.
Hope this helps in your world.

Licensing Info

Posted: 03 Oct 2005 11:35 PM PDT

You need an SQL licence for every user/device (depending on licencing mode) that derives information from the SQL Server.
In your case it is dependent on the hardware configuration of the SQL server what would be the best value
to either aquire between 70 and 120 more SQL CALS "or" switch over to a per processor licence.

This is a concept called multiplexing and it has been discussed here and resides in the google groups archives now.

http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.project.server/browse_frm/thread/6b0345a602ddd789/2e792e5a4f02f654?q=multiplexing+&rnum=1&hl=en#2e79 2e5a4f02f654

Two Things

1.) Most Microsoft people have not known much about PS licencing.
2.) Watch out for buying SQL 2000 and then needing to go to 2005 when your business application or Project Server
suggests it. You don't want to have to buy twice in a short period of time so you may want to consider a software assurance
situation.

BCWP Incorrect Summary Tasks

Posted: 02 Oct 2005 07:49 PM PDT

hi Brad,

I applied manual calculations and the BCWP should be 19,868 as you have
stated.
However we still need to cosider the Duration and the timephased costs.

Note that Project calculates BCWP at the task level differently than at the
assignment level. See:

http://www.ksu.edu/InfoTech/epm/training/msproject2002/19%20Earned%20Value.doc.

Spell check issues using different language in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 02:26 PM PDT

Hello,

I installed Office 2013 for a user and now her spell check isn't working properly.  She does translation for the company.  So when she goes into Review > Language > Set Proofing Language and chooses Spanish (Mexico) then presses the Spell check button, it reverts back to English and shows every Spanish word as incorrectly spelled.  You click on the bottom for the language, choose the Spanish (Mexico) and it correctly identifies the word and moves onto the next one, only to switch back to English again.  She has pages of translation to do, trying to correct it one word at a time will not work for her.  We've tried making the Spanish (Mexico) as her default and it still switches back to English every time.

Tried it on Windows 7/Windows 8.  Tried it on a computer that has only ever had Office 2013, same issue.  So it isn't related to the upgrade or the OS.

Is this just a bug issue or is there a fix?

thanks!

Word 2010 - VBA Code to Clear All Content Control Checkboxes

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 01:25 PM PDT

Hello,

I have been searching around quite a bit and still have not found a solution. I am looking for VBA code that will clear all Word 2010 Content Control checkboxes on a document. The document is saved as a .docm, and this is the solution that will work for us as a template will not. I already have the code to clear all of the Text Form Field areas, and I found code to clear Form Field checkboxes, but I just haven't had any luck finding code to clear Content Control checkboxes. The Content Control checkboxes are definitely what we are looking to use. 

Here is the code I found to reset Form Fields, but how can it be modified to instead clear all Content Control checkboxes?

P.S. In case it matters, there are a number of these checkboxes located within a table for design purposes.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Sub setcheck()

Dim f As FormField

For Each f In ActiveDocument.FormFields

If f.Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then

f.CheckBox.Value = True

Exit For

End If

Next f

End Sub

Copy and paste problem with Word 2007

Stop Save Prompt Showing Up For Macros

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 08:03 AM PDT

Here's an overview of what I'm trying to do and what I've accomplished:

A client of ours has a letterhead macro that they need to change every once in a while. What I would like to do is have one version that I can change centrally and then share with everyone else. Clients are not technology oriented so automated is a must.

What I've done:

I created a blank document, applied the required macro to the document, saved it as a .DOTM (macro-enabled template) and popped it into the %appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP folder. When I open up Word, this automatically makes the macro available and everything works properly.

The Problem:

When I go to close word, it asks me if I want to save changes to the macro .DOTM. I need this pop-up to go away so that clients aren't confused by it (trust me, they will be).

Word Merge and repeating records

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 05:07 AM PDT

I have an Excel file with 100 records. I would like to create address labels, using the Excel records, in a Word document.

I create the labels (Avery 5161) and connect the Excel file. Of course, I populate the document with the fields, so that the labels look like:

«Fname» «Lname»

«Street»

«CityStateZip»

The label to the right (second label, counting across) looks like:

«Next Record»«Fname» «Lname»

«Street»

«CityStateZip»

Each preceeding label is the same as the second. This takes up one page.

When I run the merge, though, the first page is correct; then I go to the second page. The first label on the second page is the same as the second label on the first page. The first label on the third page is the same as the second label on the second page, and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

Full Page Images. MS standard advice doesn't work.

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Per MS's standard advice, to get Word (2007) to print a full-page image (on page 1; edge to edge; disabled headers & footers) a user must set the vertical and horizontal page options  to "Page" and set the "Different first page" option in Page Layout. Simple. But "simple" doesn't work. Other advice says to set the header and footer margins to zero; but that too doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. Even reinstalled my printer driver; but, despite Print Preview showing the full page image as it should be, the actual print comes out with the image starting at the header margin (or, oddly enough a bit below that, and running off the bottom of the page. It is also reduced horizontally. Adding oddity to oddity, it properly ignores the footer. Why then, can't it ignore the header?

WordPad has replaced Word 2013 as the default programme

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 02:01 AM PDT

I am not a computer newbie, but this is driving me bonkers.

I helped a friend update to Windows 8.1 and to install Office 365.

All successful until we tried to copy Word (.doc) files over.  The documents suddenly appeared as WordPad documents.

When I tried to reset the default program to Office Word 2013 the Word icon does not appear in the list.

I have tried using "Open with" and Set defaults in control panel

365 seems to have installed correctly as it is possible to open all the applications seperately.

I have read through loads of threads on this issue, but noone seems to answer why the Word icon does not appear in the list..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit an If statement in Word 2010 mail merge

Pasting text from web into Word 2010 always produces numbered list

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 05:39 PM PDT

When I cut and past several paragraphs of formatted text from a web browser into a Word 2010 document, it always automatically formats it as a numbered list, unless I choose "Keep Text Only".  This happens even when the source text is not a numbered list.

I often don't want to "Keep Text Only," however -- when the source text has some words italicized, for example.

If I choose "Merge Formatting" or "Keep Source Formatting", then the I'm stuck with the numbers -- even though the original source text was not a numbered list.

I've tried changing every option I can think of (for example, in the Smart Formatting dialog, or in the other copy options), but to no avail.  Any idea why this is happening, or how to correct it?

Microsoft Office 2013 applications, not only word, always stop responding!

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 05:29 PM PDT

I recently got Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus, and everything went fine during the installation process. I tested everything and it was working fine, until I noticed that every single application - be it Powerpoint, Word, Outlook, Excel or whatnot, it always crashes within a short period of time after opening it. The error message is always the same - that is, "Microsoft (application name) has stopped working", and it gives the the options of either waiting, closing or restarting it. It has been making me lose small amounts of data every time it hangs and it is very hard to keep working like this. How can I fix this?

Edit: I have already tried disabling hardware acceleration and updating my video driver. It has not worked.

Windows/Office versions needed for Handwriting Input on Tablet

Posted: 09 Oct 2014 07:51 AM PDT

We are considering buying Surface Pro 3 tablets for our office. We have technicians collecting data (currently on paper), and our templates are in Excel, so we are looking to transition over to using the tablets for data entry. One of the things on our must-have list is to be able to use the stylus in Word and Excel (especially Excel) to handwrite in notes and have them converted to text. From what I have seen, Windows 8/8.1 with the newer versions of Office has a  "handwriting input" option as part of the onscreen keyboard. This handwriting input function - is this a part of the Windows OS or a part of Office? And which versions? There are so many versions of Windows between 8 and 8.1 and RT and many different versions of Office, I am worried we will end up with the wrong combo! I believe our IT department is going to load Windows 8.1 full (not RT) and Office 2010 on the tablets, and I am worried it won't have the handwriting input option in Word/Excel. If anyone can confirm this for me and let me know the configurations we would have to have to ensure we can use the handwriting input I would be so appreciative!!! Thanks!

WinXP Pro shutdown message "End program - WMS idle"

Posted: 04 Aug 2007 04:02 PM PDT

I was able to prevent the problem by modifying the search list Desktop Search
uses to index. It was indexing all of the other profiles on the local drive
and the Windows subdirectory of his own profile. Once I excluded the other
profiles and the later folder (and it's child objects) I was able to log
off/reboot/shutdown without issue.

On a side note I noticed that Desktop Search has also started indexing
Outlook Express even though he didn't use it. Since it was installed with
the OS and he didn't need it indexed I uninstalled it. I'm not sure if it
was a catalyst as well, but I doubt it.

and use the Precedence links to drive the Start/Finish dates.

You can make Date1 be equal to Now() using a formula and then filter for

Is there a way to insert a marker to represent todays date?

Posted: 03 Oct 2005 09:06 AM PDT

Quidam,

Not sure what type of marker you want, but there is a line showing the
current date in the Project Center (PWA) and the View a Project page for a
selected project.

For a timescale line for today's date, you have more options in Microsoft
Project. Go to Format/Gridlines.

See automated guides if interested:

Cost accruel

Project is not a cost accounting product. I advise not doing this in Project
at all, rather output the relevant tasks and dates to Excel then track
partial payments etc there or in your accounting system.

Duration of task calculated wrongly - not round up

Posted: 02 Oct 2005 11:53 PM PDT

Hi Peter,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

If you don't align working hours as directed in the FAQ, then, say, you have
entered a 1 day task, it will start at the 8:00 original time and not the
8.30 that you've now set up. This is because, generally, changing the
default only affects the future and not the past. Thus you will have a half
hour discrepancy which is the likely source of your decimals. You need to
re-enter the Durations to correct this.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Setting variable allocations for resources

Posted: 30 Sep 2005 01:59 PM PDT

Hi Larry,

I'm sorry. I guess I misunderstood your initial question. The resource
calendars will "shuffle the assignments to the day shift or the night shift"
for you. The project calendar can still be the 24 Hours calendar but using
different base calendars for the 7 resources on days and the 3 resources on
night will schedule the tasks correctly.

Hope the clarification helps.

baz,
Sorry, to actually see the non-working days on the Gantt a minor
timescale showing "days" must be displayed.

Your question is interesting because most people want to eliminate the
non-working days so they can see more of the Gantt's full span.

Best way to handle multiple projects

Posted: 30 Sep 2005 11:22 AM PDT

One option is to use the Text fields and give a unique identifier/part no.
to the set of 50. However, a project with 5000 activities become hard to
use.
I find it is easier to use the summary project, and insert (and remove) one
or more of the 50 when they are completed.

Thanks for repplying.... the patches have been installed on the

need any patches.... However, I have tried... the patches will not
install since I dont have the outlook interface....

Perform an IIS reset.
If you are online the changes if viewable on the server, should be available
in the SFO client. If offline in the SFO then you will need to go on line to
see these changes.
Does the web version on that same computer access the crm and effectivly see
the field changes?

Hope this helps,

You should also check out PowerTrak from Axonom as this allows you to do

You can manually place slugs into activities using the following syntax:

The names are case sensitive and the objects available depend on what object you

Fresh install, crystal issue.

Posted: 10 May 2005 11:51 PM PDT

Shawn,

Thanks for the reply, I have tried both options and still the APS doesn't
start. I have replaced the missing tables with the ones from our database
and still does not start. Now that these tables are in there, I tried to
re-build the crystal databse. This still has an error. Would it have not
installed a part of Crystal, when the CRM install was completed, due to this
DEP stopping the crystal services?? would there be somthing that is required
that was not added due to the services not starting?

Thanks!
