[Another] missing file

Posted: 21 Dec 2007 10:54 PM PST


::::
I too face a similar situation.In my case the missing fil
is:-SKU012.CAB.
I am getting regular updates from Microsoft,but for Office 2003 SP3
since the file is about 117MB,I downloaded it from Microsoft Downloa
Center and tried to install it,as guided by MS Site and Forums.Bu
installation stopped showing the error:-"Microsoft Standard Editio
2003 installation error-file not found:A required installation file:
SKU012.CAB could not be found.
Insert the CD or browse to the installation source in your network."
Since the CD is misplaced and not traceable,I tried al
forums,support.Microsoft and pointed it to i386, but still th
installer did not respond.In MSOCACHE and in i386 the file is i
SKU012.xml.I've run the Windows Installer Clean up Utility and remove
Microsoft OfficeStandard Edition 2003 as per the guide i
support.microsoft.com/kb/290301,as seen in Mary Sauer's Notes in thi
Forum, but did not yield any result.
*Is there any solution for this?*
I don't know why Microsoft does not give a smooth installation to thi
Office2003SP3

Hi
Thanks again for your help. I shall head down that path.

Kiwi, when referring to fruit, is actually a shortened name from Kiwifruit.

A true Kiwi is a small flightless bird that lives in forests in New Zealand
and is the country's national animal. So as I am 6'7" tall and a NZer I
qualify as a Big Kiwi, but not a big fruit.

I hope you have a great Christmas, and thanks so much for your help. :-)

Envelope Fonts

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 02:40 PM PST

Microsoft Word 2007......

Envelope and Label Wizard....icon.  After I create my letter I simply click on this icon on the Quick Access Toolbar, the Envelope and Labels Window opens and the Delivery address and return address automatically populate.  

When I print the envelope I found the delivery address too small.  In the Envelope and label Window I clicked on Options, changed the Font style and size for the Delivery Address and the Envelope printed to my liking.

I thought making the change to the Delivery Address would be permanent.....but when I went to print another envelope and delivery address was back to the original "too" small font.  

I did some research and found an article that you created a New template going thru styles...envelope....Delivery and Return address...selected Font type and size, saved the document which was saved a Doc1.doc.  this worked except now if I am to print an envelope I must open Word, then open the Doc1.doc document......to me an extra step.    

Isn't there a way that when I open Word it opens to the Document1 blank document that I can change the Envelope so that the delivery address is saved to my desired Font type and most importantly Size?  I know each time I go to type an envelope I can just use the envelope and label Window Options to change the Font type and size and my changes will be saved permanently

Total or Completion Using Checkboxes

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 12:57 PM PST

I'm using ActiveX in Word 2010 to insert checkboxes into a table of tasks, and would like to track the ones that have been completed with something like a progress bar or completion percentage that will update as the boxes are checked and show how many are complete.

Why is my template so large, and how can I avoid this in the future (Word 2010)

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 10:31 AM PST

A month ago, I saved a Word document, minus most of the text, tables and headings, as a Word template. I've had to update the template three or four times by adding or deleting a table or information to the existing template, which should have increased the size, but not by much. By the end of all the updating, the size of the template increased from 400KB to 10MB.

 

It is as though the original template took on not only the formatting and size of the newly added table or information, but the formatting and size of the entire documents from which the table or information was taken. So what started out as a KB size template – gradually increased to 3MB, then 7MB, to finally 10MB.

 

On a hunch, I copied and pasted the template at its largest size into a blank Word document and saved it as a new template. This decreased the size from 10MB down to 350KB.

 

How do I avoid this in the future? I have been creating and updating templates and forms for years, without an issue, until now. I shouldn't have to keep cutting and pasting my template or document into a clean/new document each time I update or change it.

I don't know if this has anything to do with this, but I'm wondering if Windows updates are the issues. Everything worked fine on my computer and Word 2010 until November, at which time tons of things went wrong. The manufacturer said that they had cases of Windows update -- even the recommended ones, causing issues such as this. As  result, I had to do a complete system reinstall. 

Anyway, I have Windows 7, 64-bit, and Office 2010 64-bit. (I had Office 32-bit, but installed the 64-bit version after the reinstall, since the 32-bit was sluggish. 

Any help will be appreciated! Happy Thanksgiving!

Printing issues in Word 2007

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 10:15 AM PST

Whenever I try to print a document in Microsoft Office 2007, it seems like it zooms in when it is printed out. The text is cut off the page and it looks nothing like how it is set up on my screen. In the print preview it looks normal, exactly how I set it up but when printed everything is large and cut off. I also got an error message about margins being outside of the page but the margins are set to the normal default setting. I even tried to make them bigger. I don't know if there is a zoom function that you can change when you print. It is not the printer for sure. It happens even when I print to pdf. It is happening to one other person as well on my companies network. 

Microsoft Word Starter 2010 Not Working

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 08:48 AM PST

Hi! I've been using the same Microsoft word application on my computer for roughly four years. When I bought the computer, it came with the purchased version of 'Microsoft Word Starter 2010', because I added pretty much everything to it when I bought it. Like I said before, I've been using it just fine since I got it.

However, just last week I tried opening it and it wouldn't open. A pop up appears and says, 'Click-to-run Application Manager' as the title and inside the box it has, 'Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.'

Here's how I went about trying to fix it:

Start<Control Panel< ....

I tried typing in 'Microsoft word' and it said nothing existed. But, on my start bar and in my applications Microsoft word is present. And as I've said twice, I've been using the application for years, paid for. I was confused that it wasn't there, so I searched online.

At this point I tried using a trouble shooter for micro word found on this site, but it said no issues found.

And now I'm here, so can anyone offer me any advice? Help? I would appreciate it so, so much. I use Microsoft Word a lot.

Add a list of figures and tables while avoiding cross-references

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 07:51 AM PST

Hello,

I'm looking for a way of creating separate list of numbered figure and table captions.

The sequence numbers for tables and figures are defined like this:

Table { SEQ Table \* ARABIC } ...

Figure { SEQ Figure \* ARABIC } ...

No problems so far.

It gets difficult when I add the lists of figures and tables:


** 1st approach **

{ TOC \c "Table" }

Problem: The document contains cross-references to captions. Since cross-references use SEQ fields, too, those paragraphs appear in the table of captions.

** 2nd approach **
{ TOC \t "Caption" }
Problems:
- By default, Word uses the paragraph style "Caption" for all kinds of captions. The captions of figures and tables end up in the same list.
- "TOC \t" uses paragraph style "TOC 1" from the main TOC, but I'd prefer "Table of Figures" since the formatting needs to be different.

Any suggestions how to avoid these problems?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Help with problem with Office Word 2013

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 06:37 AM PST

Hello, I am having a problem with Word 2013.  When I am in Word the documents looks fine, but when I go to print and in print preview the right side of the document is cut off.  I have tried changing the margins to different settings, I tried changing views but nothing works.  When I put a bolder around the page, it shows that the right side is cut off too.  It is as if Word is not recognizing that the page is 8.5 x 11 even though I have it set to this.  It is as though the paper size is too small even though it isn't.  I hope this makes sense.  Here is a screen shot.  Thanks.

Why wont Word let me place a line of text at the bottom of a page

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 06:09 AM PST

I am so sick of fighting with Word.

Todays problem is trying to simply place a line of text at the bottom of a page. 

I have typed a line of text, and hit return to send it to the bottom of the page, but before it reaches anywhere near the bottom of the page, it jumps to the top of the next page.

I have changed the bottom margin to .5, and removed any footer, and Word still will not let me move the line of text to anywhere near the bottom of the page.

The **** at Microsoft have really reduced word to the s.h.i.t.t.i.e.s.t word processing program on the market.

My entire staff wastes huge amounts of time trying to do simple things that were never a problem in the old versions of Word.

Can anyone tell me how to get past this latest defect in this c.r.a.p.p.y program?

P.S. you coders at Microsoft really s.u.c.k for ruining this program.

Skip Record If... Not Working linked to Access database

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 05:46 AM PST

Hey all,

     I'm trying to use the Mail Merge in Word to turn out a group of memos that call for work to be done on a group of parts (one memo per part number).  I have the parts organized in an Access database, which contains about a dozen fields or so about each part - one of which is a checkbox "Yes/No" field designating if the part has been "Found" in the warehouse or not.  Checking the box in the part's record designates it has been found.

     Over in Word, I've set up the Mail Merge fields as follows:

                         <<Skip Record If...>><<Found>><<Part_Number>>

With the conditions of the "Skip Record If" rule set as: 

Field Name: Found;

Comparison: Equal to;

Compare to: False

This results in the following field code being generated:

{ SKIPIFTrue<>"False" }

But of course, when I go to preview the merge, Word doesn't skip any of the records.  It just includes all of them.  Other things I have tried are using the "Next Record If..." rule (in which case Word skips SOME of the records, but not all of them?), and removing the quotes from around "False" in the field code (wondering if Word was looking for the Text String "False" as opposed to the value of False).  Neither of which gave me the results I was looking for.  My last thought was to change the Found field in the Access database from a checkbox field to a text or dropdown field with "Yes" or "No" explicitly in it, thinking this may give Word something easier to compare to in the Mail Merge, but this would involve changing several things in the database I'd prefer not to do.  What's more curious/frustrating is that if I add the field "Found" to my mail merge, the values output by Word ARE, in fact, "True" and "False" - so I know this is the proper way to represent the data from Access in Word.

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working as it should?

Much appreciated in advance!

WORD 2010 STILL PRINTS SAME FOOTNOTE AND SAME PAGE NUMBER ON EVERY PAGE!

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 11:54 PM PST

Hello.

PLEASE! Can someone tell me (in plain non-geek English) how to solve this?  I've read everything on the Help pages that even remotely pertain to this. I actually called Tech Support 3 times and used chat 3 times. Nothing has worked. I tried the "Repair" feature in the Control Panel. I'm afraid to completely un-install then re-install for fear it will only make matters worse.  When I erase the footnote and/or page numbers from where I DON"T want them, they disappear from the pages where I DO want them. Example: a footnote I only want on page 7 appears on all 10 pages of a document. I delete it from all but page 7 . It disappears from 7 too!  Also, I can't get it to allow both page numbers and footnotes.

If it helps, I use a Dell Inspiron 560 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit.  Thanks a million times to anyone who can help.

Word Lists, especially multilevel lists are the buggiest things I have seen in Word

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:37 PM PST

I do not know how the heck they designed their list mechanisms, but working with lists in Microsoft word can be true nightmare.

It seems that by default you can stop a list, add some other paragraph style then start another list and the list number style seems to default to continuing from where the last list left off.  In my work that is not the normal situation, but that is something that should be controlled at the document level.

Then there seems to be a bug, (and I do mean bug), where renumber one list somehow causes twenty other lists (for example)  to also renumber, even though they were not selected at the time.  It would really be nice if Microsoft Word would pay attention to only the selected text and leave other stuff alone.

I thought that I used to understand multi-level lists, but I no longer do.  I believe I remember a time when they behaved somewhat like Outlines, so to go from level 1 to level 2, first I would hit Return and then hit the Tab key.  That no longer seems to work.  All I get that way now is the same level with an extra tab in the line.  It looks like they now use the indent and outdent line buttons on the ribbon.  But even that is questionable.

Another issue that I have run into with lists is poor control over the indent level.  I will have set up the list to indent .25 inch per level, but for some unknown reason I will get a spurious response where instead of indenting just .25 inches, a line will indent 2 inches.  And I have not been able to figure out what causes it. 

  • I double check the level settings for all list levels and they all seem to be okay. 
  • I have tried to correlate the indentation level with paragraph controls, but the results are inconsistent.  Sometimes the markers on the ruler make sense and the indentation can be adjusted and sometimes the markers seem to be where they should be, but the line is still indented way too far and can't be moved.
  • I have tried clearing formatting, but that doesn't seem to help.

One of the outside articles written by some Microsoft MVP indicates that multilevel lists are somehow related to styles and they recommend relating list levels to heading level styles.  This seems nonsensical to me because then how would use the same styles from structuring your document?  And I don't understand if the style controls the indentation or some in the numbering mechanism does so.  If it is the style, which it seems to be, is the amount of indentation relative to the previous level or absolute relative to the margin?  When setting up the style for a list level do I set the paragraph style for hanging indents, or is that taken care of by the list numbering control?

AS you can see, the use of Word Lists is not all that clear.  HEY MICROSOFT!  FIX YOUR BUGS!

Error in Mail Merge with Excel

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 05:16 PM PST

I am doing a mail merge with Word using an Excel spreadsheet. I understand how to use switches for calculations and formatting. The problem I am running into is that when the field is blank in the Excel spreadsheet, it is showing as a Syntax Error in the Word document switch calculations. I need to know if there is a way to make the make the field blank if there is no information. 

Ex:

{ = {MERGEFIELD} * 12 \# $#,###.00 } 

Using this calculation, how do I keep it from showing an error if there is no information in Excel to draw from? I just want it to show nothing if there is no information available. (Please not an "IF" function.)

skipping blank fields in mail merge

wjBigSax,
Well there's nothing like the complete story. A master with subprojects
makes all the difference. Understand that the subprojects in a master
are not physically part of the master. Rather, the master only contains
a pointer to the subproject file (that's why the task IDs in a master
start at "1" for each inserted subproject). The only subproject "task"
that actually belongs to the master is the insertion point summary line.

Given that information, copying and pasting a task from the master to a
subproject or vice versa will in fact result in a totally new task in
the destination file. The original links are lost and depending on where
the task is inserted into the other file, it may take on new links (i.e.
if the task is pasted into a chain of linked tasks even though the
Tools/Options/Schedule tab option to autolink inserted tasks is not
checked).

I hope this clarifies what you are seeing.

Meaning of total slack in a project scheduled from end date

Posted: 13 Nov 2005 01:17 PM PST

Really thank you Steve for reading me.
I totally agree with your general arguments.
Anyway the point of my initial question was related to a more specific
aspect, if you want, a marginal aspect, but, as i told before, an aspect
that Microsoft should consider to improve so that Project would be a better
product(even if little better).
Thanks a lot anyway for your answer
Best regards
Michele

Your habit is surely the best way to approach and to manage a project even

I totally agree with you.

Adding to John's reply ...

What you describe is a classic application for a database management system

Network diagram and the Web

Posted: 11 Nov 2005 04:44 PM PST

Why doesn't the "copy to GIF" work? Graphics on a webpage - drawings,
pictures, diagrams, whatever - need to be in a gif, jpg, or png file format
to be processed by the web browser that is visiting your site. Remember
that the actual page the viewer sees is constructed by his web browser in
his own machine, constructed locally according to the instructions in the
html file downloaded to him from the web site he's viewing. Something like
the Network Diagram must be in picture form for his browser to know what to
do with it. If you're saying the "copy to gif" isn't working because the
resulting file is too big for practical downloading (a common occurance) the
solution is to load it into an image editing program such as Photoshop or
similar and resize it to more workable dimensions for posting.

themes in word 2013

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 03:08 PM PST

I am working on an assignment regarding changing colors in themes. The instructions are as follow:

click the Design tab and format the document as follows:

click colors in the document formatting group,

click customize colors

click accent 1 arrow and select red from standard colors group.

I have completed these steps and the original color (retrospect was the theme) is replaced with red; however, the solution shows the text as blue

Am I not understanding the concept of themes as to changing the color of the font in the headings?

Thank you.

Upgrade to Word 2010 Without a disc.

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 01:42 PM PST

I won a free upgrade to Word 2010 from Microsoft a few years ago and was given the Security code to input once I downloaded the program from a link that was provided to me. In other words, I had no disc to install. I have since been given a computer that was my husbands as my old computer was destroyed. How can I upgrade the Word 2007 that is presently installed on it to the version of 2010 that I had used for years without a disc?

It s a dark and stormy night

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:39 PM PST

Office Professional 97 on win7. Been working fine for years. All of a sudden clicking in the Word shortcut gets a response that Word is missing or has been moved. I think it was related to Avast virus detector.  Avast reported a virus win32:evo-gen[SUSP] every time I tried to click on the Word shortcut. I think it's a FALSE POSITIVE.  I ran AVG and it did not report a virus found when I tried to execute Word shortcut but I get the same message that the Word shortcut had been moved or is missing. . I uninstalled Avast changed to AVG and reinstalled Office Pro 97 from the cd. Now winword.exe is back where it belongs and I can run Word. PROBLEM: Now my Word icons on my desktop have no W (Word Icon) just a generic icon. Properties show the file is a Word doc. When I click on the generic icon Word opens the document and seems to work fine. How do I get my icons back so at a glance I know which icons are word docs?

Thanks,

John

How do I make "All Markup" the default in Word 2013?

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:09 PM PST

Split from this thread.

I want to open document that have mark-up with all markups visible upon opening, so that I don't have to enable editing and then go to show all mark-up.  They open with simple markup only so you can't see the comment bubbles - only their existence, but not their contents.  I want to open a Word document that has comment bubbles so all mark-up shows including the contents of the bubbles.  Can you help?

Need to remove editing feature in Word Starter 2010, that is surrounding the text area.

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 11:17 AM PST

I'm sorry I don't know the proper description for this function. I'm trying to cancel it so I can work with a document.

This is present whenever I open a document. It is a line bordering the entire text areas. It looks like it moves and or re-sizes the text area. It has a tiny circle on each corner,  and in the middle of each side. When I click anywhere around the enclosed area, it highlights the entire text area that it surrounds. And it won't allow for putting the cursor within the area, as to make changes, etc.

I'm sorry for the bother, I'm sure it's a very elementary function; I just don't know the term, so searching for the correct help is fairly impossible. I'd appreciate anyone for their help.

Thanks,

Draft view is the default view when opening Word

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:41 AM PST

I have Office 365.  When I open Word or a Word document it opens in draft view.  However, when checking the options for Word, the open in draft view box is not checked.  What do I need to do to get the documents to back to opening in print view?

word says file is locked by the user trying to open it, but its opened by another user

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:24 AM PST

Person X has FOO.doc open.

Person Y goes to open FOO.doc.

Pop up on Person Y screen, "can not open file, already opened by person Y"

Person X closes file.

Person Y opens file no problem. 

And this happens no matter who attempt to open if its already opened, it always says this ONE user is the person using it. 

Both systems fully up to date. Network share from Server 2008. All meta data cleared for doc. 

In short, no matter WHO has this file open or WHO tries to open it, it says person Y has it open when it is opened. There are naturally no issues when its closed anyone can open it and it does save meta editor names.

I've also changed the owner in NTFS and this has no impact. 

This problem here is when its left open, the incorrect name shows up (the same name every time) so staff has no clue where to go to close the file. 

Yes, I've read many threads here and tried those that apply, none have resolved it. 

Deleting many Styles quickly

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 09:08 AM PST

I am working on modifying a document that I scanned using AABBYY Professional OCR scanning software and exported to Microsoft Word.  I am not sure if it is just the result of that method of creating the original document or not, but there seem to be very many styles based on the base style Body Text. 

Examples:  (body text (1), body text (2), body text (2)+10pt., body text (2) + times roman, body text (3), ... body text (31), etc., etc., etc. )

There could be a hundred different variations.  I tried to make sure that these were not in use by using the Clear formatting option for the entire document, saving it, closing it, and reopening it.  But the styles still remain in the styles list.  I want to get rid of these and just have the basic default Word styles available in the styles list, but it seems that the only way to remove them is one at a time, confirming each deletion.  This is laborious and annoying.  Is there any way to clear and remove them all at once?  Is there any way to reestablish a default template without them?

How change default privacy options - clear "remove personal information" box?

Corrupt .rtf file in Word 2010

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 04:04 AM PST

Hello everyone,

Last night, my computer rebooted itself unexpectedly while I was accessing a Word document. I was constantly saving the document, so I expected that it would come back up when the computer rebooted. 
Every time I try to open it in Word, it says that the file is corrupt and cannot be read. 
I have tried the Open & Repair function. I have also tried the Extract Text from All Files function. When I did the latter, the document came up to about 1,000 pages worth of different codes. 
When I open it in WordPad, the most recent things I saved did not come up. I am absolutely sure that I saved what I was working on. 
Is there any way I can fix this corrupt file? It is a crucial part of an assignment.

Hi

Had a query recently: Word document in 2010 needing to be saved and to be read in 2000...

Is this a "Save as.... 1997-2003.doc  or a "Save & Send"... 1997-2003.doc?  Never remember which.

In the Save & Send would I need to add something to  the Compatibility mode option?

Inserting Building Blocks using UserForm

Posted: 24 Nov 2014 12:11 AM PST

Hello again,

I have another question regarding another question I had earlier on.

I got this code from Greg Maxey (thank you very much!):

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oBm As Bookmark
Dim oRng As Word.Range
  Set oBm = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmTarget")
  Set oRng = NormalTemplate.BuildingBlockTypes _
    (wdTypeAutoText).Categories("General").BuildingBlocks(Me.ComboBox1.Value).Insert(oBm.Range)
  ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "bmTarget", oRng
  Me.Hide
End Sub

I wanted to have a userform with a single drop down (combobox), that asks the user to choose between "option1" and "option2". The bookmark in the document is the same, but the building block will either be "BBoption1" or "BBoption2", depending on what was chosen in the combobox.

Wouldn't there need to be some part of the code representing that? So that one part puts the "BBoption1" in the document and one puts "BBoption2" in it?

Thank you very much!!!

Mail Merge Does Not Work When Using HTML

I am trying to create an email merge in Word 2013 (office 365).  I can do it on other computers, just not this one. 

I go through the whole process, then when I get to the final part of the mail merge, if I choose to do it in plain text, it sends.  If I choose HTML, it does nothing at all.

Office 2010 Disable COM Addin

Posted: 23 Nov 2014 05:45 PM PST

I have Office 2010 installed on a Vista computer.  Sometimes when I have a Word document open and I start typing, Word will crash on me.   Under the Active Application Add-ins, there is Instant Messaging Contacts add-in.  I suspect this add-in could be causing my problems.  

If I go under MANAGE (COM Add-ins), nothing shows up under COM Add-ins. How do I delete this add-in?  

Two more questions

2. (Strange!) In certain Index entries I want to suppress the page number. Is this possible? I've looked at all the XE field codes. (I realize that I can edit them out in the Index after it's compiled.)

How do I redefine a keyboard shortcut?

Posted: 23 Nov 2014 03:14 PM PST

Split from this thread.

Good evening,


I would like to ask if there is the possibility to redefine this shortcut (Shift+ F5) in Word (2007)?

Cause I could not find the name asigned to this shortcut in my native language (in english, I guess, it's "Go Back" or descriptive: "Return to the last edit spot" (as I browsed the internet)). I' ve found (in Word) in Word Options -> customize -> all commands only a command, which I don't know if it corresponds to Go Back, but it has no icon assigned and what's more when I click "Shortcuts: Customize tab", there is no such command (among All commands). Therefrom I guess, this shortcut command is not customizable. But I know (from browsing internet) that there occures (by someone) -4 last edit spot, or -3 last edit spot. When I put this icon (which had no shortcut assigned) on the quick icon bar and tried, found out it's -4 last edit spot. When I try Shift+ F5, it cycles only in three last edits. Also found out there is either Shift+ F5 or Ctrl+Alt+ Z keystroke kombination assigned generally to Go Back. By someone, this works with Shift+ F5, by someone, with Ctrl+Alt+ Z (in different word versions, but also the same ones)... 

So I would like to ask if there is the possibility (to the first question), because I did not found the command to which this shortcut (Shift+ F5) is assigned in Word 2007. I woud like to redefine the shortcut, when it's possible with the least last edit spot, that means 3, to a more convenient, just the Ctrl+Alt+ Z case. 

So I would like to ask, if it's possible?


Thank you for your answer.

Regards, Jaro
