Microsoft Word - Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Microsoft Word - Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Word won't scroll when I get to the bottom of the page

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 02:40 PM PST

As I'm typing and I get to the bottom of the page Word normally scrolls up so I can continue to see what I'm typing.  Somehow things switched up and I can't see as I continue to type.  I have to stop typing and either scroll using the mouse or use the arrow keys on the keyboard.  Where can I change this so that it slowly scrolls down as I type?  Does this make sense?  Hope so!

Thank you!

No office icons for Microsoft on Windows 8; no Start menu

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 12:26 PM PST

I downloaded Microsoft Office but without any icons on the desktop nor a start menu, I am feeling a bit lost as to how to use them.  One user on here suggested typing in 'word' on the screen with all the apps, so I can do that and then open a new doc, but it seems a bit circuitous.  Is there a better/easier/more straightforward way to do this?

The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 11:43 AM PST

I'd be very grateful if someone can help me with a docm file I cannot open due to what seems like the never-ending end tag issue. And should the file have been a docx file in the first place?

And how do I stop this happening again? It's totally frustrating a to lose a whole day's work trying to figure this out. How come MS haven't found a way to prevent it or put an easy fix online? 

Thanks so much.

!!Mergefield

I'm using Office 2010 and Win 7Pro.  When I want to print one envelope, I select Mailings, click on Envelope and the Envelopes and Labels window appears. After I enter the address and print the envelope, I'm getting !!Mergefield FirstName ¶Ri on the envelope above the recipients address. I have printed multiple envelopes from Excel, Word or Access files and this does not appear. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Corrupted file

Compare Documents

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 07:46 AM PST

I am using the compare documents feature in Word. I am comparing 2 versions of a Lease and making my additional changes to the combined document. The problem that I have is that the Lease is over 60 pages long and when I save the changes and take a break I cannot reopen to continue making the edits. I have to start a new combined document. Is there a way to reopen the original compare documents session so that I can just continue to make my edits?

Thank you for any help you can give!!

Automatically Insert Delivery Address in Word 2013

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 06:57 AM PST

In Word 2007, I could highlight an address and then run the envelope macro and Word would automatically add the highlighted address into the Delivery Address field in the envelope macro for printing. I have lost this functionality in Word 2013 and now I have to manually cut and paste the address into the Delivery Address field. 

Can this be fixed in Word 2013 to insert the address automatically or is it lost forever like so many other things that could be accomplished in the older version of the program?

Booklet printing mixed portrait and landscape

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 04:26 AM PST

I have a 20 page word document set up on A4 using Office 2010 on Win7. 18 pages are portrait and the other two are landscape. If I duplex print them on A4 they come out OK but if I try and print a booklet then things don't work out quite as well.

I've tried the set up on two different HP printers as an A4 booklet on a HP4000 and as a A4 and A3 booklet on a HP9500hdn.

I've got headers and footers on all pages and the portrait ones come out ok. The landscape ones contain paste and copy items, one a Excel chart and the other a CAD drawing from Draftsight each having figure numbers added using the "insert caption" tool. They print with the correct orientation, the copied items are placed near the bottom of the long edge, the captions disappear as do the headers and footers disappear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Word tables keep breaking up weirdly

Posted: 29 Dec 2014 04:15 AM PST

I like to write profiles for fictional characters and setting elements that I use in my fanfiction stories. Writing such profiles involves using tables to create "infoboxes" that form a quick list of important information, like the character's birth/legal name (and how it's natively written, if it's not normally written with Roman letter for example), aliases, date and place of birth, height and weight, nationality, likes and dislikes, etc. You can get a good idea of what I'm doing if you look at Wikipedia's infobox templates, like this one.

However, I've come across a strange problem as my table format grew in size. I typically write my profiles in Web Layout, with the table aligned at the right of the page and with the text-wrapping option turned on. At some point in the process of adding new rows to accomodate new fields of information, the table apparently becomes "too big" for Word to handle, and it sort of breaks such that there's a strange gap between the cells along the break, as well as the text that's supposed to be on the same vertical level as the beginning of the table being pushed down until it's below the table. Here is a sample screenshot; the red line indicates the break, and you can clearly an empty gap above the "Introduction" heading. Said heading is supposed to be level with the the top of the table.

As far as I can tell by comparing with Print Layout, the break and the attendant text-pushing seems to happen once the table becomes extended over three pages, even if it's only one row into the third page. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, I would deeply appreciate this; I've been plagued with this problem for a few years now.

Paragraph spacing in Office 2010 & 2013

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 10:55 PM PST

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out why MS Word want's to put spaces where I don't want them. The way I want my paper formatted is 1.5 pt spacing after with single line spacing for my paragraph, and 0 pt after with 1.5 line spacing after a paragraph. For some reason at like the middle of my page it's deciding to put 1.5 lines after my sentences, which makes the gap between paragraphs look like double. I've tried checking and unchecking don't add space between paragraphs of the same style, with no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pasting using enhanced meta file-Word 2010

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 10:06 PM PST

Whenever I try to paste a Word table on another Word document using enhanced metafile, the image is missing many lines and details.i also used a Macro for pasting as a metafile ( not enhanced) with the same results.

The only way for me to paste a table and be able to resize it is to use the enhanced metafile options. All other paste options do not allow for resizing. The functions within the table tab do not really work for decreasing the size of a table overalI. I have same problem of not being able to resize the table inserting it as an object.

Does anybody know how I could improve the paste using the enhanced metafile ?  

Thanks in advance

How to deploy PIAs with ORK?

Posted: 18 Mar 2008 11:01 PM PDT

Thanks, Bob - My main goal is to provide as much info to IT shops as
possible. My app is written with VSTO so it needs to support Office 2003 and
2007. I can distribute MS packages for Office 2003 and 2007 PIAs but the
Office 2003 PIAs don't lend themselves well to group policy deployment. The
PIAs are included in default Office installations as "install on first use"
but I need them already installed before my own msi package can be run. I
will read up on the CMW.

Words visible in Read Mode, but not in Edit Document/ P Mode

I have been working on a basketball document that includes symbols as well as words.  For some reason after saving it (and I'm sure something else) Everything has disappeared except for the courts that I started with.  Yet, when I click on the tab "View", and go to the Read Mode, what I did appears on the left all jumbled up.  I think I can copy and paste each symbol, etc., over, but that will take a long time, and I am curious as to how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

double ?? when using word for ipad with dictation

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 04:56 AM PST

I am using word for iPad. 

Hardware: iPad 4 with iOS 8 and all updates installed.

I have been relying heavily on dictation to help me with some very large work documents. For the last couple of days when ever i dictate i am getting double ?? between each word. I guessing this means that it isn't sure of the word. Sometimes it is there from the beginning but other times i think it is okay and then it goes back to ?? between each word. I have tried both on and off wi-fi (using cellular data with 4bar LTE connection)

I tried using an email in the apple environment and i had no issues.

I tried doing the reset information i saw in a previous thread with no success, 

The real kicker is that i figured just go with it and i will delete the ?? later using find and delete on my windows desktop.... BUT... it didn't save those sections, again i am guessing because it wasn't verified...

any help would be greatly appreciated, i am under the gun for a huge work project that i was relying on this to help me complete in time.

My fall back is going to be email my self the notes from the apple product and then edit them when i get them on my desktop. I don't want to though if i can help it.

Thank you

Michael.

Unable to Format Labels using Outlook and Word 2010

Posted: 27 Dec 2014 08:43 PM PST

Trying to print mailing labels from an Outlook list.  Go through the merge procedure in Word step by step.  I format the labels the way I want it to appear (centered on the label, single spaced, etc) update all labels and the print preview looks exactly as I want it to appear.  Complete the merge and everything still looks good.  Print, and NONE of the formatting I did is there.  The labels are double spaced, left justified, start on the top of the label.  I thought this was just strange, so tried it 3 more times.  Each time the same thing happens.  Word does not care about what I want, does what it wants, period.  I thought perhaps if I saved the label format to a PDF it would correct.  Ha.  The .pdf looks perfect, but obviously there are embedded codes in the format somewhere because when I print it, it looks exactly as MS Word wants it to look, not how I want it to look.

So, how do I get labels to look like I want them? 

MS Word added spaces after the bulleting.

Posted: 27 Dec 2014 07:00 PM PST

I have an outline I am making.  I have several levels of numbered lists.  As you can see in the image, the top level is roman numerals.  Suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, MS word decided that the third roman numeral needs a bunch of blank space after it.  I have highlighted this level of numbering so you can see the space.  WHY!!!!!!!!!??????????

How do I get Word to take that space away????

Weird bug in MS Project 2003 Resource Leveling

Posted: 25 Dec 2005 05:33 PM PST

Congratulations Andre.
There must be a big finder's fee to go with this.
I wish I had discovered a real bug.

Putting them back to:
T1 5d A
T2 5d B
T3 5d A 4SS
T4 5d B

If you add the 2FS link at T4, and then level, OK, T3 ES = 02/01
If you force T4 to Must Start On 02/01, and then level, OK, T3 ES = 02/01.
If you do either and then take them off and then level again it goes bad
again, T3 ES = 09/01.
So, any way that T4 gets forced to 02/01, except levelling, makes/allows the
4SS link work OK.(?)

This is a tiny glitch and rarely encountered in practice, but unnerving.
As well as a good argument for ensuring every Task has at least 1 FS
predecessor, and a strict minimum of all other types, which is good advice
anyway, it's a bug.
Is it a leveling bug or a linking bug?
The linking works ok if there is no leveling, so it must be a leveling bug,
but it only happens with this link.
If leveling is set to manual, and other calculation automatic, then leveling
can only happen when you push the button.
If then leveling does something else (mysterious), as well as "delay Tasks
to remove Resource over-allocation", then I will not be able to advise
students/clients etc that "Leveling is simple. Leveling delays Tasks to
remove Resource over-allocation, and nothing more", which is also very
common advice on this NG.

The levelling delay of T3 and T4 both stay at 7 Edays, even when T3 is
scheduled for ES = 1 week later than necessary!

You have to admit, this is disconcerting at least for anyone making a living
out of MSP, and erodes the faith of the faithful and members of the MSP fan
club who have to teach this stuff and defend MSP from the people who say it
is crap and P3 is better.
I must remember this one for next time the MSP spruiker is making the big
pitch and demo at the software show or the PMI chapter meeting. No, that
would be unnecessarily cruel.
Is there any chance MS is going to fess up on this;-) ?

This goes on the very short list of real bugs along with allowing the the
pilot/aircraft tp take off separately and the ALAP type ing all of the
float out of its successors, not so much a bug, no matter how annoying, but
more a missing feature, which goes on the very short list of real missing
features (eg Zero Total Float Constraint, Zero Free Float Constraint,
Longest Path, driving predecessor tracing, weird EV summary roll-ups(?)).

Both lists are still a lot shorter than the one about things which look like
they don't work or aren't there but are really the result of user
mis-understanding about CPM/MSP.

You don't need to set all 400 tasks as the predecessors. You could simply

Delay in external dependency

Posted: 24 Dec 2005 10:29 PM PST

Hi Rod,

I do publish the external review schedule upfront and they do commit a
timeline for review. But they don't always complete the review as per
their commitment and I need to reflect the delay in the schedule. I
can create a task called "External Review" but if I do so, I need to
assign a resource to it. As I don't want my customer's resource in my
schedule, I don't want to schedule the external review as a task with
fixed duration and resource.

There are other external dependencies as well which I can't figure how
to reflect in MS Project. Example: If some of the tasks are dependent
on arrival of a new hardware, how do I track the delay induced by late
arrival of the hardware?

Regards,
Ravi

MSPuser,
I understand your special cirstances but I'm still not buying in to
the idea that a task can be picked up and started immediately after a
delay of several months - but then that's just my observation and not
really relevant to your question.

With regard to the VBA approach. I would NOT used a lag. In my opinion
any lag of greater than 5 days is worthless. A much better approach is
to simply set a "start-no-earlier-than" constraint. I would still keep
the link to insure the logic is correct but only if the task indeed has
a predecessor that must be completed first. The following code will do
what you need, assuming there is no setup time for a delayed task.

Sub Schedule_Gapper()
Dim Cutoff As Date, Restart As Date
Dim t As Object
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t Is Nothing Then
Cutoff = "5/30/" & Year(t.Start)
Restart = "9/1/" & Year(t.Start)
If t.Summary = False And t.Start < Restart Then
If Application.DateAdd(t.Start, t.Duration) > _
Cutoff Then t.Start = Restart
End If
End If
Next t
End Sub

If you want to learn more about Project VBA, go to our MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm
and look for the link at the bottom of the page, "Project 98 Visual

Finish Date does not change

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 09:19 PM PST


Thanks Mr. John,
I will clarify further.
The file name is master. In tools..option..calculation, Calculatio
mode is automatic & I have ticked all four options, viz.
- Updating task status ....
- Move end of completed ...
- and move start of remaining ...
- Move start of remaining ...
- and move end of completed ...
Because I want the finish date to move forward from today's status dat
by the amount of remaining duration.
This was happening earlier when I created the file.
Now it is not happening.
Actual start date of all activities is NA as I have not updated an
activity as of now.
I want start & finish date to change when I change '%complete' field.

Hope I am clear now & you will be in position to answer my query
Thanks in advance.

Resource Capacity and Slack View/Report

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 11:29 AM PST

"Slack" as used in MSP refers to task start and end dates and they amount of
time they could be delayed without affecting tasks downstream, not
resources. Are you perhaps thinking of utilization versus availability,
What you're calling "slack" being the remaining amount of time a resource
has available for assignment before they go over their maximum availability?
If so, go to the Resource Usage view and add the Remaining Availability
field to the lines displayed in the timeline side.

Inserting tasks from other projects

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 11:09 AM PST

Thank you for your response.
I have tried to paste the individual fields, but it automatically pastes the
whole task, and still does not reflect the progress information.

I am aware of the issues with linking this way, like corrupting the link if
I move the file (I learned that the hard way a long time ago), but thank you
for warning me anyway.

Do you have any other suggestions? I guess I have decided that the only way
I can do what I want is to insert an entire project, and apply a filter. The
only problem I have doing it this way is I would like to filter certain tasks
and summary tasks. When I filter any summary tasks, you can still expand the
summary task. Other employees at my company (including my boss) will be
looking at this project and I have a feeling that someone will expand one of
the summary tasks, and there will be total confusion.......I am just not sure
what to do at this point.....

complete" you're referring to. Project 2003 tracks 3 separate percentages -
% Complete (duration), % Work Complete (man-hours), and % Physical Complete.
% Complete and % Work Complete are linked by default so that updating one
updates the other but they may be unlinked in the options menu to allow
inpependent entry of each. % Physical Complete is always a manual entry
based on estimated progress (and usually very unreliable because at best
it's a very loosey-goosey concept).

What I find confusing by your method is if you plot duration time along the
X axis and mulative % Complete on the Y axis you don't get an "S" curve,
you will get a 45 degree sloped straight line, at least when you're working
according to plan. Our project schedule requires 100 days. We work exactly
according to plan. At day 25 I'll be 25% complete by definition of "%
Complete." On day 50 I'm 50% complete and on day 75 I'm 75% complete. The
only time this plot deviates from a straight line is if we work more or less
duration hours than have elapsed between start date and the reporting date.
If I work LESS, say have some sick days in there where work was scheduled
but no work took place, the curve may bend downward reflecting on day 75
I've only actually worked for 70 days instead of the 75 originally
scheduled. If somehow we get "2'fers" scheduled to do a task in 2 4-hours
days but do it in 1 8-hour day for example, the curve might bend up. Thus a
real-world curve of ulative % complete might resemble the profile of a
range of foothills ascending towards the edge of a high plateau representing
project finish. But I can't envision any scenario that would cause it to
form a classic "S" curve similar to what you get plotting BCWS other than
purely by accident.

% Complete and % Work Complete are often the same number but just as often
they are not. Example (assuming standard calendars). I have a task to
paint a room, starting Mon 8am and ending Fri 5pm. I assign Joe Painter to
it 100%. Duration is 40 hours, work is 40 man-hours. It's now Thur evening
at 5pm and work has gone according to plan. % Complete = 32/40 = 80% %
Work Complete = 32/40 = 80%. But consider a contoured task ... our painter
is scheduled to do 1 hour prep and seal on Mon, 1 hour applying primer coat
Tue, 1 hour 1st colour coat Wed, 1 hour 2nd colour coat Thu, and 8 hours
finishing detail work Fri. Duration is still 40 hours but this time total
work is 12 man-hours. Again Thur at 5pm and working as planned... %
Complete = 32/40 = 80% BUT % Work Complete = 4/12 = 33%.

When Project calculates the rolled-up Summary % Complete, which at the
Project Summary level would be the ulative % Complete, it uses a weighted
average. The duration of a summary task is not the arithmetic sum of the
subtasks but instead is the time between when the earliest starting task
begins and last finishing task ends. The % Complete of a summary task
however is the AVERAGE completion level of its subtasks. When calculating
Summary % Complete, Project sums the scheduled durations of the individual
subtasks, sums the actual durations worked to date of the individual
subtasks (Duration * % Complete), and divides the 2 totals to derive the
Summary % Complete. It subtracts that from 100 to calculate the Summary %
Remaining. It multiples Summary % Remaining by Summary Duration and
subtracts the resulting interval from the Summary Finish to calculate the
effective "completed through" date. (I think it subtracts from finish
rather than adds to start to correctly handle subtask splits and lags.)

Summary % Work Complete is simpler. The total scheduled work on a summary
task is the simple arithmetic sum of the work scheduled for the subtasks.
Total man-hours worked to date / total man-hours scheduled = % Work
Complete.

AFAIK none of this changed between MSP2000 and MSP2003.

Hope this helps you figuring out how to get the results you need.

how to delete(or convert into textframe) the linked text boxes without deleting the text on that page using VBA macro

starts, now that same file wants to be used for the xml conversion. 

Now I have to remove the text boxes but the content of that particular text box should be on that place only.

For example, 

How can I remove the linked text boxes  using the VBA macro. Any help will be grateful.

Many Word 2013 formatting options suddenly grayed out

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 09:43 PM PST

I installed the full 2013 Office suite (for PC) at one time a few weeks ago  (I never had an earlier version of Office or Word;  my computer only had Open Office before,  and I was accessing Outlook through webmail).  

I had been working on a large document in Word 2013 that involved various formatting tasks such as changing the line spacing  and wrapping text around pictures. 

Suddenly, my options for many of these functions are grayed out:   I can do text editing and change fonts,  but when I went to change the line spacing, I was unable to vary it -- it was grayed out.    

Similarly,, when I clicked on the icon next to the picture that up to now had let me choose a way to wrap text around it,  it gave me the menu but it was grayed out and wouldn't respond to me. 

I tried creating a new document,  and the same problem exists. 

I'm going nuts!   Can anyone give me any help? 

Thanks,

Pat

More info:

As it turned out the reason DHCP failed was because during H/W detection
and configuration the network card had not been installed.

The installer needed to search for setup files
and I was given the option to search for the needed files on the cdrom.
I was prompted to mount the cdrom that I had booted from...
but the mount failed. The error message was that no cd was
present...although I was of course running
the installation from the cd !

At that point I figured I'd be better off not attempting a network install.

Munged partition table

sda4 is obviously the extended partition (type 5). We know that sda5 is the
lvm physical volume, which should be type 8e.

Your swap is on a lvm logical volume, so we don't currently know what the
fstype should be for sda1, 2, and 3.

Try running "/sbin/vol_id /dev/sda1", to see if it finds the fstype. Same
for sda2 and 3. I'm not sure if vol_id will use /sys/block, or the actual
partition table. Unlike pvscan, it won't hurt to try it, as it doesn't
update any config files, etc.

I've used "sfdisk -d /dev/hdb > sfdisk.txt to create an input file for
sfdisk, and modified it with the info from above. Note that the start
and size are in sectors.

============ cut here and save as sfdisk.txt ==================
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start= 63, size= 112392, Id=??, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start= 112455, size= 4209030, Id=??
/dev/sda3 : start= 4321485, size= 208845, Id=??
/dev/sda4 : start= 4530330, size= 2, Id= 5
/dev/sda5 : start= 4530393, size=307965987, Id=8e
============ cut here and save as sfdisk.txt ==================

Once you've modified the id for sda1, 2, and 3, save the above
as sfdisk.txt, and then run "sfdisk /dev/sda < sfdisk.txt" Note
that running "sfdisk -T" will show you the id codes for all of the
file system types.

As a precaution, after running the sfdisk, reinstall lilo or grub,
before trying to reboot.

Back up everything before rebooting. Also make sure you have a bootable
install cd/dvd handy, just in case :).

Then why are you trying to boot from the hd? The hd should be cloned,

By trying to boot from the hd, you've allowed cron jobs to run, that

X not swapping

Hmm. I'm using a 9600PRO, which is an r300 card (rv350 to be precise), so
'radeon' should be the optimal driver.

According to Debian, xserver-xorg-video-ati is merely a wrapping for
choosing the correct ATi driver, so it would choose radeon for me anyway
(the alternatives being only mach64 or r128).
 

Thanks. I've found a few guides for this, and I think the problem is with
AGPFastWrite. If I set it to "on", X does not start at all (there are plenty
of warnings about this - it seems to be a very risky option).

Hopefully future development of the open source r300 driver will improve
rendering acceleration, which may solve this problem.

all memory used after booting

Not sure what you mean "used up". Linux uses spare memory as a cache for
old programs/data, just in case you want them again. Speeds up loading. Why
in the world do you want spare memory just sitting there when it could do
something useful. If some running program needs the memory that is being
used for caching, that cached stuff is thrown away and the menory handed
over to what needs it, so there is no penalty.

ide controller ordering on 2.4.26

Having established its 2.6.26 we're talking about here... [oops].

Well I can see that hardcoding devices into drivers is a *bad* idea as
is putting them into the kernel but I still don't quite understand why
the option for me to choose to hard code it has been removed and also my
comment on the doentation stands - it does suggest ide0,1 are
reserved for the ID channels found at 0x170, 0x1f0 ie. the 'standard' IO
ports.
 

Ok, well I think I can see how to modify the system to do this although
there are a few holes I can see - partitions that are not ext3 for
example ("swap" plus I also have a DOS partition which is user mountable
in my fstab...) So I'd still like to leave it as is (as a preference).
