Unique Project Management and MS Project problem

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 03:30 PM PST

Hi Bob,

Indeed, when you say you don't want the solution as it is, there is no
solution left.
You don't want to measure the resources, well yhen you lose the weighting
factor (Work) Project applies.
Apply the right level of resources to each task, use all work related
measurements and forget about duration as a measurement: that is how Project
is conceived.
Good Luck!

Hello Rick,
The pool file must be in read/write mode of course. So open it first.
The "Import Custom Field" button imort only the content of athe field in
question. Not its name.
The Organizer is more efficient for that : Tools / Organizer...

Can I attach a word doc to a project task?

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 12:30 PM PST

The short answer is yes. In Project Standard you can hyperlink to a
Word Doent through the Insert pulldown menu Insert => Hyperlink
(Ctrl + K). In the Professional version with Project Server, there are
several other options to connect Word files etc to a project.

Good luck.

How can I show roll-up by on the immidiate summary bar only?

Posted: 15 Nov 2005 03:28 AM PST

You need to individually set the summary bar to show it rolling up.
Another alternative is to create a new type summary bar from the format menu
/ barstyles for rolled up tasks that are flagged with a particular flag. I'm
not certain this will get exactly what you want, but it does offer a way to
control the display.

Can cost/use be used differently

Posted: 14 Nov 2005 11:11 PM PST

The "cost per use" is attributed for each assignment to the task. You can
accrue it at the start, the end, or prorated. If you need to do it some
other fashion, break the task into smaller subtasks. If you have a 4 week
task with the cost accrued at the end of each week, make it a summary task
with 4 1-week subtasks. Assign the resource to the subtasks only, set the
cost-per-use to the weekly rate, and its accrual to the end of the task.

Do be very very careful - Project is a work scheduling and labour/material
resource cost estimating program first and formost. It is emphatically NOT
a cost accounting system and doesn't do a very accurate job of it -- in
fact, it completely ignores capital and cost of capital, opportunity cost,
ROI, etc so anything you do in that regard is a kludge with all the pitfalls
inherent in forcing a square peg down a round hole..

SP1 on Exchange 2007 ?? Any glitches

Posted: 19 Dec 2007 01:53 PM PST

We are running 2 CA servers, 2 HT servers, 2 UM servers, 1 dedicated PF
server, and a 2 node SCC cluster.

Make sure you have all prerequisites installed first!!! Upgrade Forefront
to latest build before applying SP1. Stop the Backup Exec Remote Agent
prior to installing.

The AD/domain preparation went flawless.

Installation of SP1 on the CA, HT, UM, and PF servers went quickly and
smoothly. However, here is what I found out.
SSL was turned back on for the default web site on the CA. We have it
turned off to enable port 80 connection and then we redirect to the https
site
The timing of the UM voice prompts has changed. We have assigned macros
to buttons on our phones and with the added delay in the voice prompts,
sending the digits too soon will trip up UM. So back to the drawing board
on those.

If installing on a cluster, make sure you get the specific release notes for
that.

Installation went extremely sloooooooooooooow on the first offline node. It
took over 2.5 hours. Patience served us well as it did complete
successfully. I think the problem was that I ran the installation from the
command line using a UNC location. On the second node I copied the files
locally to a temp drive and it completed within 10 minutes.

Since we have applied SP1, we have noticed that emails sent to comcast.net
addresses via our Blackberries have blank messages when the comcast user
views via the web interface. If we send from Outlook 2003 the comcast user
can view just fine.

So far that's our results. We did the upgrade on the 15th, so we're still
getting feedback.

Regards,

Alan

Are out of office replies dangerous?

Posted: 19 Dec 2007 01:36 AM PST

There is a small risk of a mail loop, but I wouldn't worry about that
because out of office notifications are sent only once, but the associated
rules can be dangerous, so you should still disable automatic replies and
forwards to the Internet. I still don't like allowing out of office replies
either, but Windows 2007 supports separate settings for internal and
external recipients, so that makes me feel better about it.

If you want to do this, you can do it simply with a Windows Server box
configured with the IIS SMTP service. If you configure it as your backup,
it can hold mail for the period you specify until the primary host is back

Recover and repair

Posted: 27 Nov 2014 01:58 PM PST

I was using Word 2007 with Vista.  I bought a new computer (Windows 8) and upgraded to Office Home & Student 2013.  I get a message that I need to use recover and repair to open the documents on the new computer.  I've gone to the forum and tried the suggestions there but still cannot open the documents.

Share Office 2013 and other programs across all accounts.

Posted: 27 Nov 2014 11:47 AM PST

Hi all,

I have installed Office 2013 on my new Acer laptop, running Windows 8.1 and after some bumbling around have also set up accounts for my hubby and two children. The problem is that I can't figure out how to share Office with the other accounts, because when I click on Start and look at the available apps none of them (or others I installed on my own account) are showing.

How do I a) share Office across all accounts and b) only download an app once for it to show as available on all accounts?

Thanks LOADS!

Microsoft Office 365 Word Document Problem

Posted: 27 Nov 2014 08:51 AM PST

I have a document that a letter N has appeared at the top of all my pages. Why is it there and how do I remove it?

Styles

Posted: 27 Nov 2014 07:25 AM PST

I have just starting using Word Styles in Word 2013 and I am finding them generally great in managing my documents however from the articles I have read, it should be that when using Styles, there should ideally be no extra spaces or unwanted spaces in the documents. I still find extra spaces which I have to manually delete and this does not make me happy at all.

Secondly in a number of cases when I make changes in the 'Line and Page Breaks' under paragraphs which contains; Widow/Orphan control, Keep with Next, Keep lines together and Page before break by checking the boxes to activate these controls; the style does not respond and I have to make adjustments manually. Is there something I am missing in handling styles? They should automatically format the document to be neat.

Please advise on this as I need to train my colleagues on use of Styles.

Moving Word mail merge file

Posted: 27 Nov 2014 05:38 AM PST

I have a number of Word mail merge master files linked to a very old Access database as the data source. Every so often over the years, I've changed computer and had to reset the link between the Word files (they are .doc, but could be .docx except for the ones that do image merging) and the Access data because the path has changed.

The problem is that I have dozens of often quite similar queries in the database, and it is hard, after several years of it all just working, to find out which query is being addressed by the Word file. There doesn't seem to be any UI in Word to provide this (even if the old path is still available; if it isn't it won't open the file without identifying the new source, which is chicken-and-egg). I even tried opening the Word file as binary (in emacs), and it doesn't seem to store the query name as a text string within the file).

So, how can I determine which query a Word mail merge master file is referencing in an access database? Is there a way to determine this after the link has been lost?

problem of filling text from bottom of the page

starting page 1 on the left without having Word inserting an extra unwanted page

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 09:01 PM PST

I want to have page 1 start on the left page without Word 2010 inserting it's famous unwanted 'blank' page that skewed my document when it's printed.

I have a title page and inside cover page as section 1. The TOC is 3 pages and those are SECs 2 and 3. Then comes Section 4 where Task 1begins (could be called Ch. 1) but I want this to start as page 1 but on the left side as this task is 2 pages and I want them facing each other.

The thing is, the problem of odd/even page business. If I do get page 1 to start where I need it to, then somewhere in the middle of the 140 pg document Word insert a blank page.

How can I get to have page one start on the left and keep the numbering consecutive all the way through without Word inserting anything anywhere? Is there a simple and clear way to go about this?

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:32 PM PST

I am editing a 5 mb Word 2013 document in tracked changes.   Editing is very slow - it takes forever to delete a word or character, etc.   I have a new Surface Pro 2 with 8 gb RAM, a 500+ gb SSD and an i5 processor (Windows 8.1 of course).  Only 2% of CPU and 30% of memory is being used.   I don't have a virus, and set download to pdf as my default printer.   I tried deleting the formatting changes, but no dice.   How do you speed up editing?   I'm a business user. Not using track changes is not an acceptable answer.   It's only a 5mb document - lots of tables, but no graphics yet.

How to install required tools for spell check with 2013 Word (HUP)?

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:00 PM PST

Details:

Personal computer running Windows 8.1, 64-bit

Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PPT) installed using Home Use Program (HUP)

Question:

I currently do not having spell-check enabled (no red/green squigglies). A pop up prompt within Word suggested I install the required proofing tools. Following the link led me to this MS website

From here I wasn't entirely sure what I should be downloading. I scrolled down to Proofing Tool > Download > selected English and downloaded. Once installed it prompted me to restart Word so I closed out and reopened my document. Clicking spell-check prompted the same pop-up.

It would appear that I need to download something else. Is spell-check a free downloadable tool? Should I have downloaded something other than the Proofing Tool (I.E. Language Pack $)?

Thank you for any help or direction,

Zack

Templates in Word

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 01:56 PM PST

There are 7 Normal.dot templates on my computer. (Normal1.dot, Normal2.dot etc) 

Can I delete some of these templates and not delete or corrupt a document created with the template?  Is there a way of knowing what Word document is using which template? 

As you can tell I do not know how the template and data connect.  I do not need all these templates but I do not want to delete data.

Thanks  

Fonts Won't Embed

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 01:17 PM PST

I have uploaded a Word (2003) manuscript to Create Space half a dozen times, but the Interior Reviewer keeps saying that my fonts aren't embedded.  I have verified that the correct boxes are checked and unchecked in the Options menu.  The fonts are TrueType fonts (Adamsky and Accord), but I'm not certain that they are embeddable, because I don't know how to confirm that.  Does anyone have an educated guess as to why this is happening?

Cursor disappears in MS Word

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 09:47 AM PST

When I switch from print mode to draft mode my cursor disappears. This is very disconcerting because I prefer to do all my work in draft mode.

I use MS Office 2013 in Win 8.1.

Also, is there any way to make draft mode the default for new docs?

Thanks.

Recover files in their original format extensions from readyboost

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 08:07 AM PST

Needing to free up some memory, I transferred a directory containing a large number of files, mostly doc and docx but also some pdf and jpg, to a high-capacity usb memory stick.  Now I find that they have been stored in sfcache format, which I had never heard of.  When I try to open the directory in Word (I always accessed it in Word before, and right-clicked the non-doc files to select the program that opened them), I get a message that another program is using it.  Also when I insert the usb drive, there is no autorun popup.  I need to recover this material in the original formats, and I cannot find anything I can understand on how to do it.

Convert a PDF file with PostScript font (T3) to Word document

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 05:30 AM PST

Hi,

I have a PDF file with Type 3 PostScript font embedded in it, the text is in Vietnamese. I used Nitro PDF to convert the file to Word so I can edit it but after converting the text is displayed incorrectly. Even when I open the PDF file directly in Microsoft Word 2013 the text still displays incorrectly. Is there a solution this?

I have a some screenshots here so you can easily know what I mean:

Word 2010 - mailmerge previews OK, simulates OK but completing or printing or editing gives "data records empty or no data records fit your query"

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 03:42 AM PST

Fed up with 2010 -  always needs the data file on drive C while I am working over a shared network at home with the data stored originally on a NAS box so I have to copy it across each time - not particularly onerous but a damn nuisance.  This particular data file I used 6 months ago and it worked fine - now I choose the data source and it previews the first page perfectly.  I use the Auto Check for errors and the simulation works with "no errors" while the other 2 options give "data records empty or no data records fit your query"-  neither giving any indication in a 'separate document' of what the problem is.  If I Finish and Edit the individual document I get the same error message.  Printing just doesnt do anything - you click print - no error message and nothing goes to the printer.  Have tried re-choosing the data.  Have tried re-saving both master and data with different names plus .doc and .docx .  Never had any of this with previous versions of Word.

Page information in status bar

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 03:35 AM PST

Yesterday Word ceased including page information in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, indicating that every document was one page long regardless of word count. Right clicking showed that the appropriate check marks were all in place for page info to appear. Still nothing. Anyone know how to get this function to work properly?

Mailing merge creates a document, with all the pages numbered as 1

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:59 AM PST

Hi, I've got this problem:

TL:DR:
All the pages of a mailing merge are treated as one huge page (all have number 1), even when printing.

Full:

I create a mailing merge for labels (around 70 pages), Everything works fine,prints everything etc. However, due to printer problems there sometimes is a need to reprint one or more pages. Here is where it becomes tricky - I think that because the exported table of labels is treated as a single section, even though I see the each page the way I would print, they all have number 1. I can scroll trough the entire document, and the number always remains 1. When I print, it is impossible to print out only one page that I wold like to, as it prints the entire document insted. Inserting a page break results in the next page being number 2, but the consecutive ones' numbers are unchanged (1). Theoretically, I could insert a whole lot of page breaks, but it would result in my document becoming a huge mess. Exporting the file into PDF help, as Adobe sees each page as a separate, properly numbered page, but nevertheless having the document in a printable, editable form in Word is quite important to me.

Is there some fix for this? Thanks in advance

Highlight function doesn't work, it stops after one click in the document

Posted: 26 Nov 2014 02:02 AM PST

I never had problems with my hihglight function in Word 2007. Since I opened a certain document, nothing special just a Word document, my highlight function stopped working.

I can still highlight text, but after one click with my mouse, the marking stops. Where it should normally should stay on, untill you click the button 'stop highlighting'.

I've alreay called the help desk, but they cannot help me unfortunately. Is there anyone else who had the same problem, but was able to fix it?

No responding when close word after copy something from the document

Posted: 25 Nov 2014 07:02 PM PST

I use office 2013 64 bit on Windows 8.1. The hard drive is SSD with TRIM on. Also I has another computer with normal hard drive. The following problem occurred on both computers.

When I open a word document, no matter .doc or .docx, and copy some words, even a character, then I close the document. The word program stop responding. This problem arises no matter the size of the documents. If I open some word documents, no responding when I close the last one. I tried

  • Deleted COM plug-ins
  • Repair install
  • Disable Hardware Acceleration
  • Remove internet from locations to save to
  • Disable background saving

While it still exist.

I don't know is there any connections with the topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-2013-extremely-slow-saving-and-pasting-plain/94718ebd-0a1a-4542-904a-33185a115ae2?page=12&tm=1416970165055
