The only reason I suggest reinstalling is to make a more rational partition
table. An expert would not need to reinstall, but the O.P. claims to be a
novice and I infer he has little on there of importance at this point.

Linux offers both possibilities.
It is important in my view to maintain a balance
between these two aspects of the system.

So while there should be clear instructions on how to use Linux,
it is just as important to maintain access to the underlying mechanism,
for those who want to look deeper into how things work.

The alternative is a kind of priesthood who know how everything works,
but only tell the ordinary user as much as the priesthood
think they need to know.
Like Microsoft, in fact.

Iirc "dell 2950" sounds like a 19" rack server, so I guess it is
a real hw raid controller. 'lspci' should tell more, usually Dell
provides software for online checking. Some driver in addition
log faults to the kernel, though not all.

Checking which controller/driver is used and trying to find the
app to check/configure it sounds like the best idea.

What do people use to access the machine via the agetty running
on the serial port? Normally people would assume one device, but
there are some variables... so I'm just curious.

With regards to the stty change... my guess is that's happening
due to settings someone has for their particular login (??).
Again... just a guess (see another guess below)...

 

So it always changes on reboot? Hmmmm... not sure.
Maybe BIOS defaults, maybe BIOS does see something attached to
the serial port and does something (some of the time)??

Might just have to put something in a startup file.... maybe
in a system wide login/logout profile to set this. My guess
is that perhaps the value depends on how the serial device
connects to the system... but again, it's just a guess.

For example a serial device that is more or less physically
bounced attached to the serial port might confuse some things.

Distro with mail server?

Congradulations. You just installed software that will allow
you to send and receive and forward and filter mail (a gross
simplification of the functions of a mail server) for 10,000
people located all over the world.

When all you want to do is send mail from one computer located in
your own home to one mailserver located at your ISP.

Which can be done with a simple bash script.

Obviously, it is up to that simple task. But it is a
highly-complex piece of software, and you are not a professional
mail administrator. And if something goes wrong you may well
find yourself spending a hundred hours trying to find out how to
fix it. Not even understanding the basics of the SMTP protocol,
you will find the docs, and advice from the pros, mostly
incomprehensible.

That's why there are what are called "sendmail emulators". These
are highly-simplified mail servers that do one thing: They send
mail to a real mailserver. They are very easy to configure and
use and take up almost nothing in the way of system resources.
They are bulletproof and just work.

They are incorporated in mail suites such as the one that
comes with mozilla, and kmail, etc.

The two I hear about most often are msmtp and esmtp. I use
msmtp.

Using ctrl-alt-F# keys crashes KDE and X.

Posted: 09 Mar 2008 07:58 PM PDT

OK I reproduced it without KDE, so it is not KDE's fault!

I basically loaded up GKrellM2 (doesn't matter if it uses defaults or
customized) with gkrellm-hdplop plugin running only on ONE virtual
desktop in KDE v3.5 or Gnome v2. Then, I switched to another virtual
desktop that didn't have GKrellM on screen.

Then, I pressed ctrl-alt-F# (# is a number like 1) to go back to
console/text mode. It resulted a X crash like:

If I disable this plugin, then I won't get the crash. This plugin is so

Jabir,
Gee I hadn't thought of the hyperlink idea but you said it didn't work
anyway.

Rather than mess around with icons, why not simply collapse the master
project so only the summary lines of each subproject are visible. You
will basically have a 10 line master project (assuming the master has no
tasks of its own). It will be real easy to instantly select any
subproject which can then be expanded. By the way, after collapsing the
master save it, so the default master view is in collapsed form.

If the above approach is not adequate, there is a way you can set up 10
icons in the toolbar, one for each subproject, and have those icons not
only locate but also filter for any specific subproject, but it will
take some VBA to do it. Unless you are conversant in Project VBA, I
suggest you use the first approach.

Non-work days of a resource

"Carlos Ortigoso" <com.br> wrote:
 

Carlos,
Is it possible? Definitely. Is it easy to generate such a report? Well,
that depends. If you want a report that shows only those days when a
resource has no assignments, you will probably need to use an advanced
feature of Project, namely VBA. However, if you don't mind seeing data
that gives days of total availability along with partial days you can
use one of two approaches.

For a report, try the built-in report (View/Reports/Workload/Resource
Usage). Edit the report to show the Remaining Availability field. For a
graph, use the Resource Graph. Again display the Remaining Availability
(Format/Details).

Hope this helps.

primavera questions:

Posted: 06 Dec 2005 05:27 AM PST

1) There is a restriction on the number of WBS levels, but I'm pretty
certain that it is beyond what you will require. Contact a Primavera rep for
details. They should be able to set you up with a demo version.

2) Yes, you can constrain tasks. It is similar to MS project in this regard.
Constraints are PART of the logic, so it is incorrect to say that logic is
ignored. It is modified, but not ignored. One advantage of P3 is that
constraints are not generated automatically when you move tasks around
graphically. On the other hand, for some that is a disadvantage.

Generally most scheduling tools are about the same with some minor
variation. P3 is good. I'd use it except for the fact that project is
cheaper and has better automation (Project VBA). Choosing software is more
about determining what you need and then finding a tool that best meets
those needs rather than trying to determine which is the "better" tool.

Why does your pay cycle enter into the project schedule? Remember that
Project is a work scheduling tool, not really a time tracking and most
definitely not a payroll or accounting application. The cost data project
aculates is the direct cost of performing the required work in the tasks
its timing does not reflect pay periods or when payments are made.

Or, if you want, you can e-mail me the file and I can take a look at it.

How do I transfer Works 2000 (version 5) files and database to Windows 8.1

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 07:46 AM PST

My old XP is being replaced by Windows 8.1 and I am having trouble transferring word processing files and a database from the Works 2000 version 5 which came pre-installed on the XP over to the Windows 8.1.  I have tried loading the files on USB sticks.....one for the word processing files and one for the database.  From there I have tried loading them into the new 8.1. , but after loading all I see is codes and gobbledegook.  I read somewhere that files from old Works 2000 have to be SAVED AS something else before loading on the to USB stick ?  After which it is supposed to be available and editable on my new 8.1.  I would be grateful for any help and replies as these files are important for business use.  The Office version I have on my new 8.1 is Home & Business 2013.  I have also tried loading the above mentioned USB sticks on to my Vista which also has Works installed, version 9, thinking that as it was a later version of Works that I could view the files on the Vista and which might be less of a problem to then maybe use new USB sticks from the Vista to the 8.1  As anyone can guess I'm not very 'high tech'  !!

Why isn't my portrait page numbering showing up on landscape pages after creating PDF from Word?

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 06:45 AM PST

I have a lengthy Word document that has portrait and landscape oriented sections. The landscape sections have page numbering set up so that on screen it appears on the left, but in the printed book will have the page numbers in the same place as the portrait pages. For some reason when I create a PDF using the Adobe tab in Word and embed the fonts though, the portrait page numbers on my landscape pages do not show up. Does anyone know if there's a box or something I'm not checking?

 

I'm using Microsoft 2010. Let me know if any other details are needed!

Booklet printing in two sections.

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 09:47 PM PST

I have a 48 page document that I am setting up to print on 11x17 paper in booklet format.  I printed my first draft and it was fine.  I edited the document, including cutting and pasting the text from another word document into the middle of the draft.  I formatted and indexed everything, updated my table of contents.  But now, when I print, the document prints in two booklets... pages 1-23 print like one booklet and the remaining pages print as a separate booklet.  It is still one document.  

Any ideas?  I am at my wits end.

Microsoft CRM - MS CRM Installation version 1.2 Licence key problem

Microsoft CRM - MS CRM Installation version 1.2 Licence key problem

MS CRM Installation version 1.2 Licence key problem

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 11:43 PM PDT

Hi Göksal,



If you are going to use the license key for demo or development purposes,
you can use the "Adventure Works Cycle" key. This can be found in the
Implementation Guide (ig.pdf) on the Microsoft CRM doentation CD - I
think it is in chapter 21.



If you are looking for a key for your production environment, you have to
register your license to get the key. You should get an e-mail from
Microsoft with your MBS number, which you have to use when registering the
product. After registering, you can find your license key on Customer Source
or Partner Source (depending on whether you are a customer or partner)



I hope this can be of help to you,

How to send direct email to all contacts at an account?

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 12:58 PM PDT

Hi Viktor,



Depending on your exact business case, I would say that you have two
choices:



1. Direct mail (E-mail) to all Contacts on one Account:

Open the Account in question -> Contacts -> Select all Contacts on the
associated Contact view -> select 'Send Direct E-mail...' from the Actions
dropdown menu.



If you are doing this from a Sales For Outlook client you can use Microsoft
Word mail merge, or else you can use an Microsoft CRM e-mail template.



2. Direct mail (E-mail) to all Contacts in a number of Accounts:

Use the Advanced Search Tool slightly different as Daniel Rodriguez
described it. Add the 4-6 custom Account segmentation fields on the Contact
entity and map the fields. For your exiting Contacts, you will have do
develop a code for updating data, as mappings only supports copying data on
creation of the record. Then you can search on contacts, using the criteria
needed and use the Direct Mail feature in the Actions drop down menu on the
view in the Advanced Search Tool.



Before you decide which method to use, you should know, that Microsoft CRM
v.3.0 holds a much more advanced search engine enabling combining entity
criteria in your search profiles and saving search profiles for re-use.
Furthermore the Marketing module will support more direct mail
functionalities and have a more enhanced Word mail merge feature, also
supporting merging of custom fields. So, if you can wait for about half a
year, an upgrade will provide you with a new world of features.



Kind regards,

Henning B. Treichl (formerly Jespersen)

Space Problem

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 06:39 AM PDT

You can run DBCC Opentran agains the log file to make sure there are no
transactions that are not commited to the database.

You can then use the dbcc shrinkfile command against the database to reduce
the size.

As for other space, enumerate all the HLP files on the C drive and compress
them.
Then do the same to the Text files. I get about 2 gigs of space when I
compress, logs, Hlp files and TXT files.
Also check the logs folder in system32. You may see a great deal of web
logs in one of the subfolders.

Attachments do not go into CRM properly

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 05:01 AM PDT

I went through trying to explain this same thing to Microsoft support
only to be told they they didn't have a fix for it. It looks like
something to do with propriatery email formats (Microsoft's TNEF
included).
We receive many emails from automated email systems (SAP order systems)
with order details in PDFs and in CRM all of these attachments are
called attachment.txt.
Even using Word 2003 to send an email directly, with a picture in it
will cause the same problem.
If anyone does have a fix please let me know.

Did you take note of the version number of the Authz.dll file before you
applied the hot fix?

Move and rename the file and reapply the hotfix.
Check out versioning numbers. Or unregister and reregister the DLL.

Siince I have not seen this error on our systems, those are two
troubleshooting things I would try.

If you do, please try to setup the TCP port to 80, if you setup the SSL

For example, you use the SSL port which is 8083, then you must use
"https://crmsrv:8083" to access CRM server. Also, you may try to use IP

Hi Curt,

I have the same problem.
Do you mean in your post that the MSXML must not be the same on both the CRM
and Exchange servers ?
If not, what version od XML should the Exchange server have ? Currently both
have 4.2 SP2

Do you know where this D:\CRM\... path comes from
I did not find it in any file on the CRM server or in the registry on both
the CRM and the Exchange servers.

Would regsvr32 on the CRM dll's found in the bin folder help ?

Thanks.

I want to know this, cause i made a mistake. The names I used for teams need

Microsoft Word - Mail Merge - Labels per page & formatting

Mail Merge - Labels per page & formatting

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 03:28 PM PST

Hello and thank you-

I am having two problems in trying to create labels from a mail merge.  The first is that somehow random spaces get added in when I link my data from Excel, even though the source formatting is consistent.  For example:

I want this:

John Smith

ABC Company

1234 Main St

City, State Zip

And occasionally with some labels I get this, or something else equally as unexpected:

John Smith

ABC Company

1234 Main St

City, State Zip

Second,  I am using the Avery 5162 template with 14 labels per page.  I have ~90 contacts to print labels for.  After I have linked my Excel data, and set up the fields, the first page looks correct except for the above issue.  However, each subsequent page begins at the contact one after the first contact of the previous page, and continues in order...

So for John, Sarah, Mike, and Abby, and assuming 3 labels per page, I get:

John Sarah Mike

Sarah Mike Abby

Mike Abby

Abby... producing 1 whole page for each of the contacts.

Heeeellllp!  I don't want to type 90+ addresses in by hand, this is 2014.

Using Cut/Paste to record macro in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 03:20 PM PST

I used to be able to create macros by cutting/pasting text (record/Ctl V/stop recording). Now, it just overwrites all the prior macros where I used cut/paste. I see that I can insert/object/text from file, and move text over from a file. But I just want sentences or paragraphs, and don't want to save a ton of little files that are just the text I need.  I've looked all over on line without success. Window 7 Pro.

Solution? Thanks.

Automating captions

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 01:44 PM PST

I am trying to automate the captions in a report template. I need the captions to start renumbering from 1 in each portion of the report. Each report will include information on a varying number of floors in the building being discussed. For the 24th floor, I want the caption to start at 24-1. For the 5th floor, I want the caption to start at 5-1. For the mezzanine level, I want the caption to start at M-1.

In trying to do this, I defined a bookmark FloorA which contains the floor number of the first floor in the report. Then I modified a caption from 24 { SEQ 24 - \* ARABIC} to { REF  FloorA } - {SEQ {REF  FloorA } \* ARABIC } . Unfortunately, this evaluates to 24- Error! Bookmark not defined. Caption

Since the first REF field evaluates as expected, the bookmark must be defined. What am I doing wrong?

The intent is to edit the contents of the FloorA bookmark and have the captions automatically update so the user doesn't have to edit the numbering of the caption fields individually.

ActiveX and Building blocks Word 2010

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:53 AM PST

Please forgive me if this is a simple question, I am new to Word VBA and everything I have learned I have learned online from groups such as these. I'm using Windows 7, Word 2010.

I am creating a template (.dotm), which uses User Forms, Building blocks and ActiveX checkboxes. Based on the selection created in the User Form, building blocks are inserted into the document. In one of the building blocks, I have inserted 4 ActiveX checkboxes. I have code that hides/shows bookmarked text based on the checkbox that is 'checked'. As long as I don't close the file, the building block will insert as it should. As soon as I close the file (and Word), when the file is opened again, I try to insert this building block. I then get the 'too many edits' error. I have enough disk space and my temp folder is fine.

Which leads me to my question... Can ActiveX Checkboxes be used in Building Blocks? I have tried to use the Checkbox Content Control, but I cannot add code to VBA to hide/show my bookmarked text for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

microsoft word 10 starter edition update received 12/10/1014 now word directory not showing in windows explorer

Print Preview In WORD 2013 Has Been Slowed Down - How Do I Speed It Back Up Again?

In WORD 2013 when print previewing a document Microsoft seem to have slowed up the speed at which the screen paints so that there's a delay between one page and the next.

 

How (if possible) do I change the speed so that there's no discernible delay between painting one page in print preview mode and the next?

Find and replace a space in between 2 index fields

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 07:41 AM PST

Hi Everyone

I thought I had double spaces in my word 2010 document but find and replace didn't find any. Looking deeper, I found some of my index fields have a space in between them.

I've tried different variations of ^dXE(space)^dXE but cant work it out.

I have {XE "some text"}(space){XE "more text"}(space)even more test. When fields are hidden, the 2 spaces look like a double space

How do I remove the space but keep the XE field as in

{XE "some text"}{XE "more text"}(space)even more text

Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance

Number formatting in text form controls and using formulae

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:16 PM PST

I have a simple form that used the Legacy Tools.  The form, amongst other things, summed numbers that users input into preceding cells.  The input cells are Text Form Fields where the Type is set to Number and the Number format can be defined.  Each cell can also be bookmarked (eg, a , b, c), so that the summing is easily done by inserting a Formula =Sum(a,b,c) and the Number format can also be defined in the Formula.

I am now trying to replicate something similar in a new form that contains the Word 2013 Form Controls, but the new tools don't seem to have the Legacy features such as number formatting and bookmarking.  I could use the Legacy Tools in the new form, but I thought I read somewhere that the two types shouldn't be mixed in the one form.  Is this correct, and if so, is anyone able to suggest how I can achieve my aim using the new Form Controls, please?
