Microsoft Word - Document created differs from template


Document created differs from template

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:04 PM PST

I have a template

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=CAD78704467531B3%21155

which is set up to print the file name and path in the footer on page two and later (you'll have to create a page two to see).

On page two and later the document footer only contains the file name.  The path is missing.

Why?

Thanks

I downloaded a trial version of office 365 for school.  In word and now power point, when I click on themes, I don't get all the color choices. I only get 9 and there's many more that. How come I don't have them? I'm suppose to do some projects for school and I don't have the themes that are required.

Merged field in header does not replicate on subesequent pages

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 01:02 PM PST

I have created a document with merge fields in the header. The document is two pages long, and the first page header is different than the second page. After executing the merge, I add more text to the final merged document, and now the document is three pages long. Instead of the field in my header on third page duplicating the merged text that appears on the second page, it shows the field name.

Merged document - 2nd Page

Ronald Smith M.D.| Snapshot Profile | Page 2 of 3

Merged document - 3rd Page

«PREF_MAIL_NAME»| Snapshot Profile | Page 3 of 3

Any way around this? Thank you!

Restrict editing- create a read-only document that others can save as and then edit

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 11:43 AM PST

My goal- Have a protected legal document that only I can edit with a password.  Yet others can open it and view it.  If they want to then create a new document based on mine (using Save As), they should be able to do that without having to enter my password.

The problem- I have protected my document using the restrict editing function.  When I want to edit it any part of it I have to enter the password to unprotect.  That is fine.  However, when someone else opens it, saves it as a new document, then tries to use it as a template (edit it), they also need my password to do so.  This defeats the purpose.

Is there a way around this?

How to insert organized and good looking photos?

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:57 AM PST

Hi

Years ago I was adviced to use tables to help organize the photos I add to my Word documents and so I've done since then, usually in 2 columns. The problem I have is that the cells on the table tend to distort when I add a photo, they extend and contract and seem to leave some empty spaces on the borders of the photos.

So is there a way I can have the size of the cells fixed? Other advice regarding margins, etc is also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

How to create a macro in a word 2010 document that uses content controls and grouping instead of protecting it

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:20 AM PST

I have a form where I created a macro button in the Quick Access toolbar that will delete whatever section the cursor is in. It unlocked and ungroups the content controls in that section and then deletes it and the form goes back out of developer mode. I need to do this unlocking in order to insert a section that I saved as an AutoText so the user can re-insert certain sections if needed. I just don't know the code to be able to make it work. Right now, all it does is switch the form into developer mode. It won't insert my AutoText and go out of developer mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is my code I got when recording the steps that I want to do. It just isn't working.

Office 2013 themes missing

Default Personal Templates vs. User Templates

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 08:09 AM PST

Someone wrote to me about the "Default Personal Templates" designation vs. the "User Templates" location. This was after reading Templates in Microsoft Word .

"The whole reason I'm reading your tutorial (and searching the web, unsuccessfully), is to learn what the difference/relationship is between File/Options/Save/'Default personal templates location:' and File/Options/Advanced/File Locations/'User Templates'"

The Default Personal Templates location was introduced with Word 2013 / 365 to cure what I feel was a defect in Word 2007-2010 where the default save location for new templates was the document save location.

I believe that the former is, under the Options > Save dialog, a default location to save new user templates. The second is the location that is where the normal.dotm template is stored/created.

My general preference would be to have these be the same location.

Anyone else have thoughts?

Here are the option screens involved.

Save a Document with Collapsed Headings

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have created a Word document that contains collapsible headings. I want all of the headings to be collapsed when opening the document, but I can't seem to save the document this way. No matter how I save, all of the sections are expanded when I first open the document.

Is there a setting where I can change the default to "Collapse All Headers on Open"?

Thanks for your help!

Repeating section, content controls, and restrict editing not working as expected in Office 2013

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 07:50 AM PST

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Create a table with multiple columns and rows containing content controls (the mix of controls doesn't matter--my example uses text boxes and combo boxes).
  2. Select the table and make it a repeating section.
  3. Restrict editing to Filling in forms.
  4. Save the file as a template (dotx).
  5. Open an instance and attempt to select any of the content controls for editing. You will be unable to.
  6. Select a non-content control item, for example, the ITEM TYPE label shown above. You will be able to edit the text.
  7. Open the template for editing and turn off Restrict Editing.
  8. Open an instance performing the same test as above. Everything works as expected.

This is a fairly high priority issue. We (and many other corporations I am personally aware of) are in the midst of replacing all of our InfoPath forms (with it being deprecated in the future) with Word forms. Obviously, repeating sections as well as working document protections are key. Currently, I have a programmatic work-around but would prefer not to go that route as it adds substantially to form maintenance costs over time.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Cant open MS word 97 with office xp professional 2002 in windows 8.1

Just bought a Lenovo laptop with windows 8.1. I have installed MS office xp professional version 2002 (which Im told is compatible) but whenever I receive a MS word 2007 document it converts to docx and only opens as symbols. As I have quite a few folk who email me documents in this format it is becoming a problem. Any ideas?

Proofing tools not working on freshly installed Win 7 and Office 365

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 06:18 AM PST

OK, so I have a really strange problem with the proofing tools so I'll try to describe what happened it in detail.

1) Running Windows 7 and Office 365 proofing tools suddenly stopped working. Later - for other reasons - I did a clean reinstall of Windows. (I'm not sure how relevant this information is.)

2) On the freshly installed Win 7 SP1 64-bit I installed the en-us version of Office 365 ProPlus 64-bit. I have downloaded the 64-bit proofing tools for German, Hungarian and Italian but none of them worked. (Symptoms: in language preferences the spell check is "not installed". However, in the language selection window e.g. in Word the little abc tick is present next to these languages.)

3) Probably this was a real bad idea but I tried installing the 32-bit proofing tools for German. No changes.

4)  Completely uninstalled each proofing tool and Office. Reinstalled Office 32-bit and 32-bit proofing tools. They still didn't work. 

5) Removed proofing tools and installed the German, Hungarian and Italian versions of Office 32-bit. Spell checking was alright for all of these languages, except for German.

6) The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\ProofingTools\1.0\Override\de-de is not present. I uninstalled everything and deleted all registry keys I could find for the proofing in hu, de and it. 

7) Reinstalled Office 64-bit en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools worked only for the languages included in the English language pack. Uninstalled everything.

8) Reinstalled Office 32-bit. en-us, de and hu. Proofing tools work fine, except for the German one, again.

Notes: Neither online repair nor quick repair fixed the problems. Uninstalls ran with either Iobit Uninstaller or this Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501.

I googled this issue for days but I couldn't find any solution. My only guess is that the previously installed proofing tools interfere with the Office suites in some way but I can't figure out what's wrong. I would be also quite pleased if the simple proofing tools worked, I don't really need Office in three languages. The strange thing is that they actually stopped working before I reinstalled the whole Windows so maybe some corrupt files are being synchronized with my account. I looked at the Office files in AppData/Roaming but they seem normal to me. 

I would be really thankful if you could provide me some help with this problem because the German spell check is actually the one I need the most. 

Thank you!

How to format sample code in Microsoft Word 2013 so that when exported to .mht HTML, it will copy-and-paste nicely into a Unix terminal session

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 02:04 AM PST

I'm working on tidying up some hands-on instructions for an internal class in how to use my company's software. The instructions are written by number of authors, in Microsoft Word 2013, and are then exported to HTML or Microsoft 'Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml)' format. It's horrible, ugly HTML, but it is very easy for the authors (who are technical but not primarily web developers!) to create richly formatted, non-editable documents for the hands-on instructions.

I have a problem with blocks of sample code in the resulting .mht documents. The authors format these blocks of code (in Word) to look like code at a Unix command prompt, or in a UNIX script. When saved to .mht, they retain their formatting (at the expense of rather bloated HTML), and students attending the class are meant to copy fragments of code from the resulting .mht doc, and paste it into a Unix terminal window, either at a command prompt, or into a text editor such as vi.

But most of the time, for every line of text/sample code in the Word/.mht doc, they get two lines - *that line plus one extra blank line* - in the pasted text in the terminal window. For example, some code which is shown in the Word doc like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    some command
    another command

...ends up looking like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    some command
    
    another command

It's no big deal for 3-line code fragments, but it's a major pain in the proverbial for anything much over 10 lines - the students can only see half the usual amount of code on screen at a time, and it's all interspersed with pointless blank lines!

The cause seems to be related to the way Word converts text to HTML in the .mht file. (If you copy-and-paste the text direct from the Word doc into a Unix prompt, it pastes just fine, without gaining unwanted blank lines). However, in the .mht file, every line in the original Word doc ends up as a separate paragraph tag (<p>line</p>) in the .mht HTML, and Word seems to add an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each, which I'm pretty sure is the bit responsible for the extra, unwanted blank line after each original line.

I've tried editing the original text block in Word, replacing the Paragraph character (¶) at the end of each 'line' (so, each line is really a paragraph in Word's view of the doc) with a 'Manual Line Break'. When copied-and-pasted directly from the Word doc into the Unix terminal window, this still pastes nicely (as it did with a Paragraph Mark ¶ at the end of each line), but when the doc is saved as .mht, the resulting HTML in that format still has each line as a separate paragraph (<p>line</p>), still with an extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each one. When this is copied and pasted into the terminal window, the student still gets blank lines.

Any suggestions as to how I can format the text in word to:
a.) still look approximately like code in a terminal window (font, background color, indent formatting applied)
b.) when exported to .mht, be represented with something like <span>line</span> tags, and without the extra <o:p></o:p> pair of tags after each line so that one line of text in the doc results in one line of text in the terminal window?

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Disable printing of an picture with picture content controls (switching the picture)

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:40 PM PST

Hello,

in a letter with an logo I want to disable the printing of that logo sometimes.
The only way I have found so far is using picture content controls. One with the logo and an empty one. What is the simplest way to switch between the two overlaid content controls?

Should be simple for the user (not just "send to background/foreground" via the context menu) - e. g. a button. Any hints are highly appreciated.

Many thanks and greetings

INSTALL 2007 OFFICE ON PARTITION

Posted: 10 Jun 2008 07:55 PM PDT

Hi Bob, Thank you for your reply. When I put my office disk in the drive, it
gives me no options other than install. It does not say where do you want the
program installed, it simply wanders off and does its thing.... I am happy
all parts of office live together, but I want them in a partition on my hard
drive where I keep all my general software. Is there a way I can get to a
custom install, eg, load manually from the run command?

Regards

Geoff

The Microsoft Windows XP that the error message is pointing to is your
Operating system that "runs" all of the production software such as Office.

On your desktop right click My Computer then left click on properties. If
it does not say in the box that opens:

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition (or Pro Edition)
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

or if it doesn't say Microsoft Vista instead of Microsoft Windows XP, you
can not install or run Office 2007.

If it says Service Pack 1 with XP above it you need to update your computer
by using Windows Update (Click Start, Windows Update and run at least the
Recommended updates.

Office 2003 professional that you have installed will run on earlier
versions of Windows such as Windows XP SP 1 or even Windows 2000.

Word 2010 Multi-level lists

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:05 PM PST

I am formatting a large document, 95-100 pages.  I have set up styles for headers.

Header 1 = 1 Title

Heading 2 = 1.2 Title

Heading 3 = 1.2.1 Title

I was able to get to heading 3 without any problems, when I got to 3 it wouldn't continue numbering, and took 3 to be like 8, so then I tried to change the list level manually and it changed all the headings to 3, 3.1 3.1.1. etc... I removed all formatting from heading 1 and tried to just use bullets multilevels but it still doesn't recognize the change in level 3. 

How do I fix this?

Bug in Word 1.5

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 02:07 PM PST

I received a document in my email. When trying to open in my iPad (with Word 1.4) everything went smoothly. But when opening in my iPhone (Word 1.5) I received and error.

Is it possible to create a TOC using Section Numbers rather than Page Numbers?

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:34 AM PST

I'm familiar with creating TOCs and use of styles, but a colleague has asked if it's possible to create a TOC that displays the section number, rather than the usual page numbering. Their document consists of a large number of sections, each with their own header & footer and each one restarting page numbering at 1. It doesn't then make sense to create a "normal" TOC to refer to, as every page number is 1!

The heading styles used in each section don't necessarily contain numbered lists. Would it be possible to create a TOC style that contains section numbering for example...?

TIA,

Amanda

Set Max Length of Text Field in Word 2013 Fill-able Form

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 07:31 AM PST

The legacy fields allowed a way to set the max length (Example: if I did state  - I could set it to 2 and they could only put in CT - not Connecticut or Conn, etc)

The legacy fields are no longer there and I cannot see a way to do it with the new fields.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sharing address book in Outlook 365

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:53 AM PST

Hi,

situation:

Secretary has Access (read/write/change) to boss' Mailbox, including contacts. She sees contacts in her Outlook Client and can Change, add delete them.

Sometimes she has to write letters to the boss' contacts with word. In Word there is the function to insert addresses right out of the address book into documents or envelops (in the Mailing section).

But when using this feature the secretary only sees her own and the global address book, not the address book of her boss.

I already tried to set the boss' address book as e-mail address book in properties, but there is no such option for this item.

I also recognized that the Email Button that is visible in the ribbon when I see the personal contacts disappears when clicking on the boss' address book.

Does anyone have an idea to import occasionaly single addresses from a shared address book into word documents easily?

Thanks

Regards

Specific documents will not print

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 06:14 AM PST

Hello,

I have a client computer that is having print issues from Word 2010.  At her location they use two Toshiba eStudio 556 copier that are set to private print. When she sends a group of documents to the printer to be retrieved later, sometimes not all of the documents will be waiting for her at the printer to be retrieved.  According to windows, the job is sent and shows up in the queue but it is not at the printer.  When we recreate the document by copy and pasting the text to a new blank document, it prints fine.  Also, when the job is sent to the other copier, that is using the same driver and is the same model, it shows up just fine.

This is a confusing issue that I have encountered in the past but was only able to solve by reinstalling Windows and Office.  I am hoping that there is an easier fix that I am missing.  I have tried running a repair on Office, changing the print drivers, and changing the document template.  If anyone else has experienced this and has a different fix, help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

HIDDEN SCROLL BARS IN OFFICE 2013

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 05:06 AM PST

I find the hidden scroll bar in office 2013 annoying.  I have to search for the scroll bar and then locate the slider every time I am working on documents.  When the scroll bar disappears it does not turn over that space to the document so in my opinion this is just a needless feature the included just to sell another version of office.  Anything the increases the work to do a task should never make it into the product.

So anyway, how can you disable the hiding scroll bars so they are always visible when working in office 2013.

Office 2013 is not user friendly

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 04:05 AM PST

Hi there,

I tried the trail version of Office 2013 suite and very disappointed as it goes back to the horrible sharp/square look with no round edges, ie; no Aero features" it is way too hard on the eyes when you are on it all day at work for 8 to 10 hours Mon-Fri. On my personal computer is sooooooooooooooo much better with the aero features.

My question,

if I upgrade to Office 2013 from 2010, how do I (or can I) turn on the Aero feature on all my Office Suite??

Cheers,

Barry

Unspecified error while opening word documents with math equations

Posted: 22 Jan 2015 03:54 AM PST

Help! My file is corrupted! Unspecified error location part /word/document.xml

I've been working on a math assignment, but when I try to open it, Word staunchly refuses. The error message reads "We're sorry. We can't open mathass1.docx because we found a problem with it's contents."

Details read "Unspecified Error. Location: Part/word/document.xml Line 2, Column 0".

I've scoured the internet for a fix. Most involve unzipping the file, and editing the xml file. The fix has not worked for me.

I´ve also seen tried a fix which should edit the end and the beginning of the document, but that doesnt work either, since its not the problem.

It´s not the first time my users have experienced the problem so I really would apprecieate any working solutions.

Hidden Text and Bookmarks

Posted: 21 Jan 2015 06:40 PM PST

I'm working on a complex form that has many sections which are toggled between hidden and visible as the user completes questions. The questions are in Content Controls and the sections are defined as bookmarks.

The problem I'm having is with one of the sections. The bookmark for each section includes the Page Break before it, so when they are hidden, there are no blank pages. This works for all but one of the sections. The one that is not working happens to be the first one after the questions.

Whether I use VBA or simply hide the bookmarked text using the Font dialog, there is always a blank page when this section is hidden. As I can't find a way to display page breaks but not hidden text and the display of hidden text using the dotted underline doesn't display under the page breaks, I can't see whether there's one left or not.

Can anyone suggest where to look to resolve this. I've tried removing all the page breaks and bookmarks and recreating them with no success. I've tried changing the bookmarks to include the page break at the end of the section instead of the one at the start and it makes no difference.

Thanks

USB installation - MD5s for RHEL 5.3 Fail

Posted: 04 Jul 2009 08:06 PM PDT

On Wednesday 08 July 2009 03:55, someone identifying as *Sidney Lambe*
wrote in /comp.os.linux.setup:/
 

First of all I would like to say that I have not been following the
entire debate into detail because of health issues, and although the
word "troll" has come up a few times in this part of the thread, I have
now chosen to - even if only for a short while - put in my two cents
worth, with respect to both parties, as I see valid points in both of
them.

Sidney, I can feel your frustration over the "Windowsization" of
GNU/Linux, and to a large degree, I even share it. However, I think
you are being so frustrated about it that you are generalizing and
polarizing your views to extents beyond reality. Allow me to
explain...

There is indeed a tendency to make GNU/Linux more Windows-like, but I do
not believe that this tendency is as fierce as you yourself are
describing it, and what bothers me the most in this is that this
tendency has arisen from the demands of GNU/Linux newbies who of course
all come from the Windows world.

I myself have once been a newbie too, albeit that I was never that
Windows-conditioned as I already knew of other operating systems long
before I had a computer of my own. I only used MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows
3.x for about five or six months on my own first computer as it came
with those pre-installed and I was awaiting the commercial and stable
release of OS/2 2.x, which I have subsequently used for over five
years. On my next machine, I have used Windows NT 4.0 Workstation for
two years, but back then I was not all that seriously into computers
yet as I have become since I installed GNU/Linux for the first time,
late 1999. I have never used anything other than GNU/Linux since, and
wouldn't want to if my life depended on it. (In fact, I think I'd
rather have my life depend on GNU/Linux than on any other operating
system. ;-))

Now, I was a newbie too back then, albeit with some minor UNIX knowledge
and free from the Windows-isms like "folders" and /sea-drives./ I have
always found the UNIX methodology far more logical and transparent.
But as a newbie, KDE - back then still at version 1.1.1 - was a very
welcome environment as it facilitated getting acquainted with all
aspects of the operating system. I did however check out many of
the /man/ and /info/ pages from the start, read the /HowTos/ and of
course, prior to even installing the operating system, the printed
manual - it was a shrinkwrapped retail version of Linux Mandrake 6.0
Powerpack, which was back then basically a copy of RedHat with KDE
added, because RedHat refused to supply KDE due to the fact that KDE
1.x was built using non-freely licensed Qt libraries. Another
difference was that Mandrake 6.0 came with kernel 2.2.9, whereas RedHat
still carried 2.2.5.

I am a big fan of KDE, and more specifically KDE 3.x. I find KDE 4.x to
be promising, yet at the same time daunting because it's obviously
still very experimental and so far I haven't heard of any distro that
has managed to iron out the problems KDE 4.x poses. KDE 3.5.10 on the
other hand, although no longer maintained by the KDE developers
themselves, is stable and fully functional.

I also don't make it look like Windows - and I hate that distro vendors
do that - because I don't find the Windows GUI all that intuitive. On
my system, it looks a bit like the GUI of a MacIntosh, but not with the
intent of duplicating it. I have not set it up to look like anything
that exists, but rather like something that I can use and that feels
good for myself, not for everyone else. But even in its default look &
feel, I don't consider KDE 3.x to be a Windows clone, especially not if
you consider LXDE (which *does* look like Windows XP) or the Vista-look
of KDE 4.x - if I ever do switch to using KDE 4.x, then that will be
the first thing I change - or even the perversions of whatever UNIX
desktop environment is used by Linspire and the likes and have been
completely converted to the look & feel of Windows, desktop wallpaper
included.

So I do use KDE, and I like it. But don't let that statement fool you,
because I keep a terminal window open at all time and launch additional
terminal emulators when needed, and I do most of the stuff from the
commandline. It's just that when handling graphical objects a lot, it
is easier if you get to see a preview, and graphical manipulation of
photos et al does require running X11 anyway, and these days, diskspace
and RAM are cheap, so there's no reason for me to run a CLI-only system
- not for a workstation anyway. But I copy, move, delete, create and
otherwise manipulate files from the commandline. My filemanager only
serves so as to get a clear overview of the thumbnails. Being autistic
however, I really do like the aesthetics of (my customized version of)
KDE 3.x.

However, there is another angle to the Windows-ism story, in which you
are partly right, i.e. commercial distributions need an income, and
that income comes from selling a distribution of GNU/Linux in a
computer market segment that is for most part occupied by Windows. And
Microsoft has gone to great lengths at hiding what a computer really is
and what it does from its users, presenting them with their own
"Microsoft logic", in which thinking for yourself is strongly
discouraged. As such, the new batch of IT professionals gets trained
on using Microsoft stuff only, and as such, a new generation of idiots
is produced.

So now there are the computer illiterates who only know Windows - and
have never even heard of anything other than Windows because of
Microsoft's monopolizing tactics of pushing a license of Windows with
every new consumergrade computer from a big name brand - and you've got
the Windiots who call themselves IT specialists but only know how to
set up Microsoft software for use by the illiterates. Treat your
customers like idiots and idiots are the customers you'll attract - the
old adage still stands. And that is why distromakers tend to cater to
their Windiot clients.
 

On this I do not agree. I don't think that the technocrats would want
users to be dependent of them at all. In fact, it is my experience -
at least on Usenet, and I tend to follow this tendency myself when
giving advice - that the more technically experienced among us are
trying to teach the newbie how to think for themselves and "RTFM",
instead of thinking that GNU/Linux must behave like Windows.

By the same token, I always advice everyone to ditch the entire HAL
stuff with the automounting features and stick to a traditional and
static */etc/fstab* with manual mounting. Not that I'm conservative,
but I don't like things ing around with system data that should be
kept static and that is known to work, while the automounting stuff
often doesn't.
 

On *that* I agree.
 

The use of pseudonyms is not such a bad idea, provided that one stays
consistent and uses the same pseudonym continuously, or at the very
least, when adopting another one, make an announcement to that regard.

Shifting pseudonyms is rather a habit of trolls or spammers. I use a
pseudonym but I have used this one for many years already. I used to
have another one long before this one, but those who know me know that
this other "person" was me, and why I have chosen a different name -
among other things, I was being stalked by people who knew my pseudonym
and what newsgroup groups I was posting in.
 

I disagree on that. KDE was an effort to build a contemporary graphical
desktop environment for all kinds of UNIX systems - not just GNU/Linux
- and its name is a parody on CDE, the Common Desktop Environment that
shipped with most commercial UNIX implementations. KDE contains
elements of CDE, NeXtSTeP, pre-OS-X MacIntoshes, OS/2 and Windows. The
first iterations of KDE even looked far more like Motif and CDE than
like Windows.

Most (but not all) of the original KDE developers did work at Trolltech,
which produces the Qt widgetset, and hence they also used Qt to build
KDE upon. Originally Qt was not released under a free license, and
this is why the FSF and certain "politically correct wannabe"
distributions like RedHat refused to support KDE, despite KDE itself
being released under a free license. Meanwhile Trolltech has - with
the advice from RMS himself - licensed Qt under a GPL-compatible
license, and so that problem has been eliminated.

I will however agree with you that KDE 4.x does look a lot like Vista in
its default trim with the black panel, and that this is probably done
so as to make life easier for the Windows-to-GNU/Linux crossover
newbie. And I will also agree with you that this was absolutely
unnecessary. Yet that does not mean that I will agree that UNIX must
be a CLI-only operating system. But then again, it should also not be
seen as a CLI-only operating system of course, as the operating system
itself is CLI-only and everything else runs on top of that.

For the record, my system is normally up 24/7, but it boots to runlevel
3 anyway, not to a GUI login screen. I consider X11/KDE an extension
to the system, not an essential component to it. By the same token, I
maintain our not-for-profit organization's servers via /ssh/ - my
colleague is a Windows user and prefers /webmin/ - so I do not need any
GUI tools. It's just that having those tools available (for local
administration) might come in handy sometimes. ;-)
 

That is unfortunately a trend we get to see with lots of commercial
distributions. But there still are non-commercial distributions,
albeit only a small amount. Gentoo for instance, or Debian.
 

I don't understand why you are dissing on KDE so much. As far as my own
experience goes, I find KDE to be far more customizable than Gnome, and
far better integrated with its applications than any of the smaller,
standalone desktop environments or window managers.
 

This is mainly the influence of the distromakers themselves, because
they needlessly complicate things for the sake of branding them with
their own logos. For instance, Mandriva - formerly known as
MandrakeSoft - really goes out of its way in providing customized
versions of - among many others - all kinds of KDE-related things
(including /kdm/) and the fact that their customizations are left
largely undoented seems more like a deliberate decision than a
manifestation of Occam's Razor.
 

There really is a distinct difference between realizing that the
Windows-insanity is trying to take over the GNU/Linux world out of
their inability to understand anything other than the pre-chewed
Microsoft junk, and radically opposing and hating anything GUI-related.
I can make that distinction, but I'm afraid you yourself cannot.

The tens of thousands of CLI-only users you are referring to are mainly
server admins, and for server administration you do indeed not need a
GUI, nor is it desirable to even install anything GUI-related on a
server. However, persisting at running a CLI-only system also causes
you to bypass *almost* everything multimedia-related, such as the
manipulation of graphics via The Gimp - which is one of my favorite
applications and which, despite the condescending remarks from
Photoshop addicts, is quite professional software.

I repeat...: I do our server maintenance via /ssh./ I do most of the
stuff on my own workstation computer using terminal emulators. But I
do use KDE and I do use KDE-specific applications. And I also do use a
browser - whichever works - to surf to websites that contain graphical
content.

There's nothing wrong with using a GUI, and one should not have to hate
GUIs or refuse to use them just because there is such a thing as
Microsoft Windows. I hate Windows too. Not because I've had any
problems with it - because I haven't used it for long enough nor
intensely enough to actually have had any significant problems with it
- but because of what it is, i.e. a perversion of what a computer is
and what it's supposed to do, and what it's supposed to allow the user
to do with it (as opposed to what Microsoft allows the user to do with
it). And I hate Microsoft as a company because of all their dirty
tactics and their attempts at disrupting the GNU/Linux community
through publicized FUD and Usenet shills/trolls, and because they are
clearly attempting to further dumb down the enduser so as to beat more
money out of their pockets or simply lead them into dependency.
 

And on today's hard disks with hundreds of GB of diskspace, in today's
computers with several GB of RAM, this matters how exactly?
 

I enjoy learning new stuff about GNU/Linux (or UNIX in general) as well,
but I am not spending my entire days trying to learn something new
about it unless it is something of particular interest to me - e.g.
virtualization with Xen (and no, not with Windows as guests). I have
many fields of interest that I do research about, but I am not going to
go out of my way to become a real guru and/or run a system without a
GUI.

I will however agree that it is better to teach the newbie that
GNU/Linux (or any UNIX for that matter) is an entirely different
operating system from Windows and that they should abandon all they
know about Windows or all they were used to on Windows before
endeavoring into GNU/Linux.

It *is* a different operating system, but I do not buy into the "steep
learning curve" excuse. Someone who's never seen a computer in his
life and who gets to be confronted with Windows for the first time will
have an equally steep learning curve to overcome. The steepness of the
GNU/Linux learning curve is only an imaginary construct used as an
excuse by Windows addicts to adhere to their dumbed-down Windows-isms
and insist that GNU/Linux become "more userfriendly".

GNU/Linux is not user-unfriendly at all; it simply expects the user to
be a little more computerfriendly instead. It is far more logical and
transparent than any other non-UNIX operating system I've seen so far.
Hell, it even makes far more sense than DOS, and that was a
commandline-only system as well.
 

You only get to get technical support if you're using a commercial
distribution, even if the operating system is provided free of charge
by its vendors - e.g. the various Ubuntu-spinoffs. I used to buy
commercial distributions because I wanted to do something back to the
community, but I think I've already helped far more users here on
Usenet than that my money to the distromakers has helped the community.

At present I am still running an old Mandrake 10.0 on this machine -
purchased directly from MandrakeSoft (now Mandriva) itself through
their online store, albeit that this did not quite go as smoothly as
they were pretending - but for my other machine I am looking at Gentoo,
and since this machine here is becoming unstable hardwarewise and will
require a replacement, I will probably be installing Slackware on that
one. I don't know yet. I'll see.

One of the reasons why I won't get involved with RedHat/CentOS/Fedora is
that they refuse to let you install the system on anything other
than /ext3/ filesystems - and by now, probably /ext4/ as well - while I
have always preferred /XFS/ for large systems and /reiserfs/ on smaller
ones. Reiser's conviction for the murder of his estranged wife a while
ago has of course lessened my sympathy for his filesystem, but
technically /reiserfs/ has not given me any problems yet. /XFS/ does
have a far more elaborate toolset, however.
 

This is definitely recommended reading, and so are many of the other
links you've provided, but I don't see the logic in listing all of
those links in every post you make.

However, if I may make a suggestion, take that list of links and post it
on a website somewhere, and then include a link to that website in your
Usenet signature. Saves on bandwidth and diminishes the spam content
score of your posts. ;-)

Hi Francis,

Who mentions task id?
activeselection.tasks(1) refers to the first (or the only) task in the
selection.

Which version of Project is correct for us?

Posted: 31 Jan 2006 12:36 PM PST

Hi,

AFAIK no version of Project allows simultaneous updates by more than one
user.
In that area Server has no added value.

How to display employees hours sumed to a Manager

Posted: 31 Jan 2006 06:58 AM PST

Jzis-

It should be possible to use the resource grouping field in the resource
dictionary to simulate a one-level resource hierarchy.

In your example, you would have three resources (Tom, Mary, and Lou) and all
of them would be in the group "Joe".
You would then create a report that groups hours by this resource group.

I'm not sure HOW you would create that report in Microsoft Project, but I
know it can be done in my company's add-on reporting software for Microsoft
Project ("DecisionReports for Microsoft Project").
(I would be happy to work with you directly to get the report you need -
just send an email.)

Regards,
John Garay

????? If there is a grouping within the task for Cost rate table A, that
subgroup has a "group summary line" hasn't it? And the values in that line
are only fo A???
