Microsoft Word - Need to modify a Macro that uses a loop to find text in Word documents

Microsoft Word - Need to modify a Macro that uses a loop to find text in Word documents

Need to modify a Macro that uses a loop to find text in Word documents

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 01:53 PM PDT

Microsoft created the following macro that uses a loop to find text in Word documents. In this instance I've modified it to find "word1" and insert "NOTE=" for every instance of "word1" in the document. I have many different words to find, for example, "word2", "word3", "word4" etc. but would prefer to reference a list of words rather then create a separate macro for each word. Possible?

Sub FindWord()
    With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Text = "word1"
        Do While .Execute(Forward:=True, Format:=True) = True
                With .Parent
                    If .End = ActiveDocument.Content.End Then
                        .StartOf Unit:=wdParagraph, Extend:=wdMove
                        .InsertAfter "NOTE="
                        Exit Do
                    Else
                        .StartOf Unit:=wdParagraph, Extend:=wdMove
                        .InsertAfter "NOTE="
                        .Move Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
                    End If
                End With
        Loop
    End With

End Sub

Removing graphical artifacts from bulk scanned documents -- any best way with Office?

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 11:19 AM PDT

I'm currently involved with a batch file book-scanning project.  The scanner we're using does a great job of converting scanned documents to formatted RTF files save for one problem -- numerous graphical artifacts.  If a page isn't aligned perfectly, you can get a black triangle at one corner, for instance.  If you eliminate the artifacts manually, you're left with EXACTLY what you want (there are no graphics with the pages I'm scanning).

Naturally, I'd like to automate this process.  I've tried doing a search and replace on graphics (^g), but it only gets rid of some of them -- there's still plenty left.  You can FIND the remaining ones using the search pane and selecting graphics from the pulldown list, but you can't delete them.  I've also had no luck deleting them all using a macro to step through the shapes in the document.

I also can't seem to find any straightforward how-to after a lot of web searching.  I suppose what I'm asking is, "is there an easy way to purge graphics from an RTF file using Word 2013?"

Printer settings versus document settings

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 11:10 AM PDT

Hi,

Would I be right in saying that Page Layout settings in a Word 2010 document will automatically be changed depending on what printer you are using? i.e. you would have to re-configure each document to suit the printer even if the paper trays are in the same place e.e. Tray1 plain Tray 2 Letterhead...

This seems bizarre when the Microsoft site seems to suggest the opposite - that the document settings will supercede the printer settings!

Would be grateful for any help with this as we have 2 teams each with a different make of network printer accessing the same lot of template letters and forms  day in day out. 

Thanks

Is there a way to find multiple letters sent to multiple people without knowing their names?

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 09:32 AM PDT

I work for a non-profit and I've been asked to find letters sent to donors over the past couple of years with the goal of discovering how many donors received the same letter over and over again, no matter how often/how much they donated.  Unfortunately I do not know any of the donor's names that may have received the same letter over and over, and most likely, this will apply to numerous donors.  All the letters sent are in a file on a shared drive.

I'm probably asking for something that is impossible, but thought I would post this just in case someone could help me.

File tab menu options different for users in Office 365/2013

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 08:37 AM PDT

We've noticed that users are seeing different options when they click on the File tab in Office 365/2013. More specifically, when they go to Open or Save As

When clicking on "Open" or "Save As" some people see SharePoint as an option where as other people do not see the SharePoint option.

We have some people that are trying to Open and Save OneNote files to a SharePoint site, but since they do not see this option, they are not able to.

This is very random where some people see it and some do not. All of them have MySites content personal sites.

In troubleshooting I installed Office 365/2013 on a new computer and the first time I launched Excel it said "loading services". I am not able to determine where these services were loaded and what variable is different for the users missing the SharePoint option in the File tab.

Thank you.

Windows 7 Pro 64 - Won't print MS Office and other files

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 08:11 AM PDT

I have a computer running Windows 7 Pro, with Office 2010. When trying to print from Office or Adobe, the job gets stuck in a status of "spooling" and will not print. I have one printer directly hooked up (Brother HL-2270DW), and I've tried it with the same brand of printer, but over the network using a print server. It will print from Notepad, but not Office or Adobe.

I have run all the updates, gotten the latest print drivers, tried all of the other suggestions I could find... stopping/starting print spooler service, deleting all the files in the system32\spool\printers folder, taken ownership of spoolsv.exe, removed the printers, uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers, re-added the printers, used the troubleshooter in the control panel... you name it, I've tried it. It's still not working. Every other pc on my network with an identical platform has no problem printing anywhere.

I've noticed other people that have had this issue, but none of the solutions given were of any help in my situation. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

table of contents right tab with indent not working with A4 paper

Posted: 09 Mar 2015 07:11 AM PDT

This only seems to be a problem with non-standard paper, like A4. We set up our table of contents to have a right-tab, dot-leader indent and text with a right indent of .5" so it doesn't go all the way to the number. With A4 paper, it will not set the tab beyond the indent marker. It cannot be set with the ruler or in style settings and stay as set. With standard paper, we have to set it in settings--it won't work if you try to slide the indent to the left of the tab--the tab jumps to the indent marker.

The only thing I've found to work, but only sometimes, is to change the paper size to standard 8.5x11 and then back to A4. But that only works some of the time. Some of our documents are very large so it's a loss of productive time trying to get this to work or manually fix the lines.

Thanks

Sign in message in Word

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 07:23 PM PDT

Hello...I recently purchased MSOffice and have been using Word for a writing project.  With my new laptop, I keep getting a message at the top of my document: "UPLOAD FAILED: You are required to sign in to upload your changes to this document."

There is a small box that says "Sign In" that seems to be a link, but when I sign in, nothing happens.

I know I am signed into MS with my account. I can get to OneDrive and see the documents I have stored there, but I cannot seem to do the reverse: save a document to OneDrive because it thinks I'm not logged in.

Unless there's a step I don't know about when it comes to logging in here? 

When I go to the Word screen that lists my recent documents, it says my changes were saved but could not be uploaded because I'm not signed in to the server. The "Resolve" box doesn't help; it also gives me the sign in option, but when I click on that, nothing opens.

I have looked on Microsoft's OneDrive help pages but I cannot see this addressed anywhere.

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

How to change default spacing between a bullet and text in a table in microsoft word 2010

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 04:55 PM PDT

Hi all........I'd like to do two things:

1. In a Table, change the default space between a bullet (or number) and the text. I'd like to make it smaller........the extra spacing wastes space in my table.

In other words, the default bullet spacing

Default table bullet spacing looks like this
  1.     1st level

                      2.      second level
I'd like it to look more like this

1.  1st level

     2.  Second level



ie starts like this

  •    text
  • I'd like it to look more like this (less space between the bullet and the text, but saved as a default for the document I'm working on and all documents.

2. Change the Default setting on all my Word 2010 documents for bullet spacing

it looks like this now

  1.     Text
               a)       second level

                                     b)  third level

And I'd like it to default to something like this

1. Text

    a)  second level

         b)  third level

Can you help?

Thanks!!

Proofing tool (spanish) isn't recognized by Word 2013 after installation

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 11:04 AM PDT

I'm writing a spanish text and I wanted to use the Spanish spellchecker from Word.

So I downloaded the Spanish proofing tool. The installation was successful, but in Word I still get the message that Word can't check the spelling.

When I check the options in Word and go to Language, I see that the language Spanish (Spain) isn't installed even after I just installed it.

The things that I already tried:

  • Restarted Word
  • Restarted computer
  • Installed the proofing tools as an administrator

Can someone please help me solve this problem?

Of course not - last thing I heard nobody was giving away USB sticks for
free yet. ;-)
 

You are not going to find one, since USB sticks cost money. Most
distributions do however have the necessary tools for creating a
USB-stick-based GNU/Linux distribution, and some may even have
preconfigured and automated utilities to do such a thing for you.
 

Google is your friend.
 

Then you didn't look well enough. ;-)
 

Well, good luck with that then. The 2.6 kernel doesn't even fit on a
floppy anymore, so you'd be stuck with an old kernel, which may not
support all of your hardware. For instance, I don't even know whether
2.4 supports SATA hard disks.
 

If they are floppy-based, then they will certainly not hold any decent
antivirus software, given the size of such software suits.
 

Then why even consider it? ;-)
 

That is not what it was designed for, but in theory, you should be able
to make a bootable USB stick with the contents of that CD, yes. On the
other hand, you'd be far better off with a more complete distribution,
e.g. Knoppix.
 

I can't really help you with that. I've only used it once or twice, in
order to detect hardware errors on one of my machines.
 

Yes, that is what I wrote higher up already. You'd be far better off
with a "real" distro. There are several live-CD based distros, and
other distros allow you to make a live-CD with a few simple
mouseclicks, or a bootable USB stick. Look here and see whether you
can find something to your liking:

http://www.distrowatch.com
 

They will probably not have such scanners "on board", so you'd have to
add them yourself. The simpler the base you start from, the more work
you'll have at producing a bootable USB stick with a working distro
*and* a virus scanner.
 

USB sticks and floppy disks are not "embedded Linux". Embedded
(GNU/)Linux is what you find in routers, cellphones and satnav systems,
i.e. the "system on a chip" approach. Such systems usually don't come
with antivirus software, and most of the time those devices are
configured to not work as if they are complete UNIX systems.

For instance, a Linksys WRT router has a Linux-based system in firmware,
but other than approaching it via a webbrowser to make a few changes to
the settings, you can't do much with it, since the device was never
designed for any other purposes than being a router. Alternative
firmware downloads do exist, but they really *are* alternative, i.e.
you'd have to install it yourself. And for your intended purposes, the
issue is moot.

Virtualization : Clarification needed on Xen Hypervisor

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 02:44 AM PST

On Wednesday 23 December 2009 11:44 in comp.os.linux.setup, somebody
identifying as bzaman wrote...
 

That's how Wikipedia describes it. :p However, I prefer using different
nomenclature myself. I call the above-mentioned "type 1"
a "hypervisor", and the "type 2" a "virtual machine monitor".
 

Okay. ;-)
 

This is no longer required. As of Linux 2.6.30, the kernel supports use
on the bare metal, as a privileged Xen guest (dom0) or as an
unprivileged Xen guest (domU), all in the same kernel image. The
kernel will detect in which cirstances it is being booted.

The "kernel-xen" packages are probably 2.6.18 kernels which have been
patched with Xen compatibility by Xen.org themselves, because back at
the time of that kernel generation, Linux did not support
paravirtualization yet.
 

That's the actual hypervisor itself.
 

Not "host", but "privileged guest". The dom0 kernel runs on top of Xen
and is bootstrapped as a module to Xen when the machine boots, but it
too is virtualized. The bootloader actually loads Xen instead of
loading a Linux kernel, and Xen then loads and boots the dom0 kernel
via the "module" statement in "/boot/grub/menu.lst".
 

The unprivileged guest does not run on top of the dom0 kernel, but
*alongside* of it, on top of the Xen hypervisor itself. If it is a
paravirtualized guest, then its hardware access is relayed onto
back-end drivers in dom0, but under control of the hypervisor, as even
dom0 is a virtual machine and its operations are scheduled by Xen.

If the machine has hardware virtualization extensions, then the
unprivileged guest can be an unmodified operating system, and in that
case, Xen emulates certain hardware and traps the unmodified operating
system's hardware accesses with assistance from the virtualization
hardware.
 

No, that is incorrect. That which you are running in the dom0 GNU/Linux
virtual machine is "xend", a daemon which hooks into the hypervisor and
allows you to boot domU virtual machines and resize their memory in
realtime, among other things. It also helps in live-migrating a
running virtual machine to another physical computer which also runs
Xen - provided that you're not trying to move a 64-bit virtual machine
to a 32-bit physical machine, of course.
 

Xen runs on the bare metal, and that which is quite often mistakingly
called "the host" is in fact a virtual machine in itself, but it is a
privileged virtual machine. It is privileged because it has access -
via the xentools package, not via its own operating system tools - to
the memory of the unprivileged virtual machines, i.e. it can start and
stop unprivileged virtual machines via the xentools, and it
can "inflate" the memory of the unprivileged virtual machine via the
so-called "balloon driver".

The privileged virtual machine is also the primary "driver domain". It
contains back-end drivers for all the hardware, and the unprivileged
paravirtual guests contain front-end drivers, which are an abstraction
layer and which relay the hardware access onto the back-end drivers in
dom0, via the hypervisor. It is however possible to hide certain
physical hardware from dom0 so that it can be directly accessed via a
real driver from within an unprivileged guest, making this unprivileged
guest into an additional "driver domain". Yet all virtual machines run
directly on top of Xen, including dom0 itself.

Well, yes and no... It's a restriction of the legacy real mode BIOS
code and MS-DOS. Because of the required backward compatibility with
DOS and the DOS-based Windows versions - which were still being sold up
until the year 2000 - this is still being used today.

By design, any x86 processor - even x86-64 - default to the
DOS-compatible real mode at power up, and usually it's the
bootstrapping code in the operating system's kernel which sets up the
pagetables and descriptor tables and switches the processor in
protected mode.

On the other hand, machines with an EFI BIOS - such as the Intel-powered
MacIntosh - or a CoreBoot (a.k.a. LinuxBIOS) have a BIOS which switches
the processor into protected mode itself. Such systems then require a
special protected mode bootloader and a kernel without real mode
boostrapping code. Such machines can make use of a whole new
partitioning system which allows for up to 128 primary partitions per
disk.
 

Ehm, you are confusing a few things. An extended partition is not the
same thing as ext3, which is a *filesystem.* Also, Solaris - at least
on its native (Ultra)SPARC hardware - uses a kind of EFI BIOS, as do
MIPS machines with IRIX and machines with an Intel Itanium processor.
 

Not yet. ;-) The "no more than 4 primary partitions" is a limitation of
the x86 platform with a legacy BIOS. Non-x86 machines or x86 machines
with EFI or CoreBoot can use 128 primary partitions.

That said, there is an additional limitation for SAS/SCSI/SATA/USB hard
disks and PATA hard disks addressed via the new /libata/ drivers, i.e.
all disks that appear as "/dev/sd?". Such disks or even arrays of
disks can only make use of 15 partitions per disk, even if there are
more partitions than that - primary or extended is irrelevant. This
limitation exists because of programming confinements in the Linux
kernel SCSI midlayer, but it has nothing to do with the SCSI hardware
itself, whether used on x86 or on another hardware platform.

I don't think I've ever seen that, so I'd have to say it's not the
default. The only "ALL:" line I expect to see there is for the
loopback addresses.
 

Keep an eye on the size of /etc/hosts.deny to make sure it isn't
growing out of control. If it does, you can be wasting more CPU
cycles checking libwrap for each and every connection than you
would letting the script kiddiez connect and continue to guess
wrong. That's the 'PURGE_DENY' value.

Actual start based on Status Date update of duration vs start date

Posted: 23 Feb 2006 06:29 AM PST

It sounds like you have a constrant on your start date or logic is holding
the date out. Add a column for Actual Start or add the ICON for Update Task.
You'll need to tell the task when it started and possible revise your logic.

By my logic the
alap tasks should only finish at the start of the following tasks that were
set as asap

Wel, by my logic as well, and I've been asking for that development over the
past 5 years or so, but to no avail. An ASAP task becomes critical and is
"stronger" than any asap following, causing those to become critical as
well.

New task in existing plan to start LATER

Posted: 22 Feb 2006 09:27 PM PST

Thanks. That's what I do now. I was hoping for something else! This task
really isn't a successor to any particular one. When I do this, if the linked
task lags, it pushes this new task out in the schedule, and I don't really
want that to happen. In a big project, I might miss that I did that to the
task and it then doesn't get started when it needs to. The other method I've
used is to put a date constraint on it, but that has it's negatives too.

Oh well. Thanks again!

Hi Felix, thanks for the reponse. The time period between the tasks is only

correctly. Project is very frusturating...

See responses below. 
Yes. When setting up a hierarchy in Project care must be used. Sometimes
the user may have to go an extra step to correct an erroneous indent or
outdent. 
There have been several comments over the years about the single undo of
Project. I don't recall for sure, but the level of undos "might" be
expanded in Project 12. Nonetheless, what it means for existing versions
is that the user must be careful and perform regular saves and/or
backups - but then that's just smart computing with any application or
OS. Powerpoint is a very slick application but it isn't worth a darn
when it comes to planning and scheduling.

The things you describe look like they are out of Project Server, which
you mentioned in your original post. Project 2000 does not have that

A couple of things: You're discussing a product version that is not

With that said, I've seen the problem you describe, even with domain admins,

Tracking different cost categories

Posted: 21 Feb 2006 01:41 PM PST

Thank you. I did discover the FAQ, will try it out. I suspected some part
of the answer involved VBA and exportation of data. I don't know where to
start with VBA, sigh.

Most disappointing is the inability to do timescaled representation of a
custom field. Since my tracking granularity for some of these other
categories is monthly, maybe I could define a number of custom fields, one
for each month, and export those out to Excel for summation. While somewhat
artificial, it would allow me to at least maintain the data in a single tool
(Project) and use Excel to present that data.

Thanks again. I am grateful for your advice.

Certain sections of text change when Word is opened or closed.

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 11:51 AM PDT

Help!  I'm editing a document for a friend.  I believe they have a Mac while I have a PC, so this may be the root of the problem.  I'm just not sure what to do.  When I close the document and then reopen it, some sentences have changed.  The font size is usually smaller (10 instead of 12), is in bold, and in all caps.  I correct the sentences, close out Word, and then open the document again and they've done this again!  Sometimes there are additional areas that are messed up too.  This keeps happening over and over. 

Word - Insert Object Tool - Adobe

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 08:29 AM PDT

I have an issue trying to finish a document. I have Insert-Object-adobe pdf into a word document to save space in the appendices. Readers can double click on an object image to open the entire document in adobe. Now I am trying to save the entire word document as a pdf and the embedded pdf now does not work. The new document has flattened the embedded pdf and it doesnt open anymore. I tried Save and Send command as well using the pdf/xps command and that also fails. Is there any way to use that feature of word 2010 to insert the object. and then to be able to save the entire file as a pdf?? 

Very useful to insert the document. saves a lot of space in the appendices

How to create a dictionary for an unsupported language in Word

WORD "disappeared" from my Dell

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 03:11 AM PDT

I purchased MS Word with my Dell computer when I ordered it online. It worked fine for a while and then the program just disappeared. I did not lose any saved work, and the WORD icon is still present. When I click on the icon though, it takes me to a screen where I have the option to buy WORD or if I have a 25 character key or active MS account I can "sign in" or use the key to access WORD, but I don't have the key. The only MS account I have is for XBox, and it won't accept that.

Has anyone encountered this? Any suggestions?

Trouble with non-ASCII characters over SSH. Help, please!

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 01:01 PM PDT

* Unruh <ubc.ca>: 

Agreed except ssh might be part of the solution, explained below.
 

There are ssh configuration options for client and server for passing on
environment variables. I was thinking of this earlier having recently
read about it in another discussion but could not clearly recall it at
the time of my reply

Quoting ssh_config(5):

SendEnv
Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent
to the server. Note that environment passing is only supported
for protocol 2, the server must also support it, and the server
must be configured to accept these environment variables. Refer
to AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) for how to configure the server.
Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard
characters '*' and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be
separated by whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv direc-
tives. The default is not to send any environment variables.

Quoting sshd_config(5):

AcceptEnv
Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be
copied into the session's environ(7). See SendEnv in
ssh_config(5) for how to configure the client. Note that envi-
ronment passing is only supported for protocol 2. Variables are
specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters '*'
and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be separated by
whitespace or spread across multiple AcceptEnv directives. Be
warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass
restricted user environments. For this reason, care should be
taken in the use of this directive. The default is not to accept
any environment variables.

then it's safer to keep it as the global Apache user like you have it
now. And, no, chmod 0602 will not give permission on a directory, even
if the owner is set to the Apache user. For a file it would work at
600, if it's the right owner (read and write), but directories need to
be higher (700 at least, if it's the same user for read, write and
