Critical tasks

Posted: 13 Mar 2006 08:27 AM PST

Hello John
Thanks for your help.
I am a bit confused. Ex: I have a project with date of 2/1/06 thru
4/28/06.
there are multiple tasks with summary tasks that goes from period in
following way
1--summary 1----2/1/06 thru 3/1/06
2--summary 2----3/15/06 thru 3/31/06
3--summary 3----4/1/06 thru 4/28/06.

What I was thinking that Summary 3 should be critical since it has no slak
and will be affecting the project finish date. But not summary 1 and 2, even
when they are on schedule. They could be critical if they were delayed but
they are not.

Please help I need to have this report by this afternoon....Thanks for your
help

non-working time not printing on Gantt chart

Posted: 13 Mar 2006 07:50 AM PST

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the prompt reply. My timescale is showing full days in the
bottom tier (M T W T F S S) , weeks in the middle tier (13 Mar '06), and none
in the top tier. Zooming the view does not affect print and preview (ie;
non-working time shaded on the screen does not appear in preview or printed)

Non-working tab is set to the default of silver, shaded, standard project
calendar, and draw 'behind task bars' radio button.

Regards,
Paul

Monte Carlo simulation in MS-Project?

Dr. Wolfgang Hintze wrote: 

PERT, or Variance ysis, as taught in the PMIBOK, is obsolete, for
reasons I won't go into here. That said, you're description of how it's
normally applied is incorrect.You don't just add up all optiomistic,
pessimistic and most likely durations and come up with 3 estimates. You
add the optimistic, pessimistic and 4 times the most likely and divide
by 6 to get and expected duration. This gives you a sort of composite.
It's not very meaningful statistically, and with the availability of
Monte Carlo software, obsolete. But at least understand how to apply it
before you discard it.
Hope this helps in your world, Dr!

Actualwork over run

Posted: 11 Mar 2006 08:07 PM PST

Hi,

Steve has delivered in this thread a full explanation on some of these,
namely the %complete methods.

Update as scheduled (reached through Tool, Update project) turns all work
planned up to a certain date into Actual Work and leaves the remaining work
as such.

Actual Work when entered as a whole (not timephased) turns planned work up
to the amount entered into Actual Work.
When the amount entered is smaller than the planned work, it lmeaves
remaining work as such.
When teh amount of actual work entered is larger than the planned work it
sets the task to 100% done, and schedules all the extra (Actual-planned)
according to the assignment units as actual work

Actual Work, when entered in a cell of the Usage views, replaces Work for
that period;
when the amount entered makes the total larger than the planned work for the
task, it accepts the value and puts the task to 100%;
when the amount entered is larger than the work planned for that period it
accepts the value and reschedules the task such that total work is
unchanged;
when the amount entered is smaller than the work planned during that period:
- when the task is fixed work, it accepts the value and reschedules the
task such that total work is unchanged;
- for other task types, it accepts the value and decreases work for the
assignment.

Make a few tests to illustrate should this become too boring long..

Hope this helps,

How to calculate Duration?

Sapper,
I only used actual resource names for illustration. As Jan pointed out,
the resources could just as well be generic. Those are referred to as
group resources in Project.

Many times generic resources are preferred because you may not care that
Joe will be doing the work on a task. What you really need is a
millwright and that might actually be Joe, Tom, Mary, etc.

Hi ,

This newsgroup is specifically for matters dealing with Microsoft Project.
I suggest you try to find a more appropriate newsgroup that deals with

Cost calculations incorrect

Posted: 11 Mar 2006 08:51 AM PST

LOL - No offense, but I don't know what to think because honestly I can't
figure out what you're really doing or why you're doing it.

The way I go about it is - this task is to build 100 widgets. I know how
Fred usually manages to build 10 a day when he's not otherwise distracted.
So working 100% it will take him 10 days (duration) to build 100. Fred
works 8 hours per day. I assign him 100% to the task. Thus it will require
80 man-hours to build 100 widgets. Fred gets paid $20/hr. Thus my project
budget is $1600 to build the required 100 widgets.

The inputs in Project are: Fred works 8-5 with an hour for lunch, M-F.
Fred's pay rate is $20/hr. Fred doesn't need to be doing anything else at
the same time so I can use him 100%. And working full time I expect the
task to take him 10 days to complete. I put in the duration estimate and
assign Fred to the task. Project calculates it is an 80 man-hour task and
will cost $1600. Project looks at Fred's resource calendars to see what
days and hours Fred going to be there to work on the widgets and uses that
info to compute when the task will start and when the 100 widgets will be
completed. In other words, it requires 80 hours of work and Fred's calendar
says when those 80 hours will take place - like Friday counts for 8 hours of
duration because Fred is working but Saturday doesn't count for duration
because it's Fred's day off.

How to make 2 tasks start at the same time

Posted: 10 Mar 2006 03:32 PM PST

Hi Dave,

By now you have got some ideas that all work "sometimes".
The tough reality is that there is no way to make sure sure two tasks are,
and remain, simultaneous.
Paste link creates a "Start no earlier than" constraint thus does not
guarantee more than a link.
And yes, uyou can put leveling out of play by giving a 1000 priority but
that (and I do appreciate that!) is not what you look for.

No, sorry, won't do.
If this is a consolation: putting two resources on one task absolutely does
not ensure the two assignments will be simultaneous either!!

Greetings,

How can I list files attached via Hyperlink within MS Project?

Posted: 10 Mar 2006 10:41 AM PST

Hi Bill,

Have you tried adding the Hyperlink Address field to the table? It will
show you the full path to the hyperlinked files.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Benefits & Allowances

Posted: 10 Mar 2006 07:17 AM PST

hi Jason,

One way to accomplish this is to define "Lunch" as a material resource along
with its cost.

Then for the tasks where lunch is served add this as a resource. If it is
served to only one of the resources add it once, if two then add it twice and
so on.

This way the cost of lunch will be aculated with the project cost through
the life of the project.

Microsoft Word - Is it possible to send a chosen keystoke to another window from VBA

Microsoft Word - Is it possible to send a chosen keystoke to another window from VBA


Is it possible to send a chosen keystoke to another window from VBA

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 02:38 PM PDT

90% of the time I have Adobe Reader and Word open on two monitors.  Every few minutes I mouse all the way across from Word to Adobe and give it the focus with the mouse, and then click the scrollbar once to page down.  Then I mouse back and I have to click twice in word to page down in my working document.

Is there any way I can make a shortcut to invoke this function from a VBA application?  I have read about Windows Scripting Host (WSH) and the sendKeys method, so is there a way VBA can invoke that? I would want some more logic to enable it to send more than just PGDN, but taken from a WSH script I found in Microsft's doc, this seems to do what I want:

Set shell= WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Success = shell.AppActivate("Adobe Reader")

shell.SendKeys "{PGDN}"

The String "Adobe reader" is always present at the end of the title bar text, so it should find it.  I don't mind ignoring the problem of what to do if there are two Adobe Reader instances open.

Prevent 2013 built in style "Emphasis", "Intense Emphasis" from appearing in old documents as recommended styles

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 10:25 AM PDT

I have several older documents that I have gone through the effort to configure the Styles pane to have exactly the styles that I want.  However, when I open one of these documents in Word 2013, Word 2013 adds a series of styles that I don't want.  These include "Subtle Emphasis", "Emphasis", "Intense Emphasis", etc.  I personally feel this is a conspiracy by the developers of Word to annoy me.  Is there some way to keep these "new" styles from appearing in my old documents, short of having to reconfigure my recommended styles every time I open a new document?

Thanks.

How do I modify the comment card in MS Word?

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 08:30 AM PDT

I am evaluating documents using Word and using the comments option.  Every comment contains information from some "Contact
Card" and it shows that to the readers of the document.  I am not working as that screen name nor do I want any indication of
an e-mail address to be shown.  I tried logging out and it seems to prevent the e-mail address bit it still shown the name on the account.

If I was doing my work from a computer that is not mine, then some other contact card information would be shown.

How do I stop this?

Please Help: Word 2010 Fill in Blank Template

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 07:53 AM PDT

I have a rather long document that has a company's name scattered throughout it. I am trying to make this document a template with a fill in the blank where the company's name is, so in the future I can type in a different company's name and it will be put throughout the document.

Does anyone know how to do something like this? 

Thank you!!

Replacing two hard returns above a table with just a single hard return

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 06:25 AM PDT

Hi,

 

If I want to do this anywhere other than just above a table, then I search for ^p^p and replace with ^p. However, where the two consecutive hard returns appear just above a table, Word will find them, but will not replace them. Does anyone know how to do this?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Page numbering issue in Word 2007

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 06:05 AM PDT

Everything in my document is working fine (finally), with the exception of a rogue page number appearing where i don't want it. Straight-forward page numbering except i want the page numbering to begin with 1 on Acknowledgments, 2 on Intro, etc. and that is all working fine. But I can't figure out this random page #4 as shown below. Header selection on that page is not linked to previous, different 1st page and different odd/even. Tried changing all of those with no luck. Deleting that deletes all even page nos. throughout. Odd page breaks used throughout to force chapter starts on the recto page and those are all working correctly. Suggestions?

Auto RE-open on re-boot

Posted: 30 Mar 2015 04:08 AM PDT

Good Morning All, I hope this hasn't already been asked as I am terrible at searching for answers 'cause I am so bad at using the right words but I also hope this is an easy question.  All I would like to know is if they is an easy convenient way to reopen an entire list of MS Word files that I normally keep open at all times.

I have nearly 20 MS Word docx files open at any given time and use them constantly for generating my tech posts for several different forums.  I normally just close the lid of my HP Pavilion dv6 and when I open it, all my files are ready and waiting for me.

Whenever there is a Windows Update or any update that requires a reboot, or if it's been some time and I feel a reboot is in order.  I have to go to a folder and reopen each file, one at a time, moving it on my screen into the desired position, and making everything look just as it was before I had to restart my computer.

So I was wondering if there was a command to do that automatically.  A single click that would re-open all 20 Word files in the exact same format I had them in before I had to restart the computer.  Silly, but it would be really convenient and I would appreciate anyone's ideas, thank you

insert chart problems

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 10:31 PM PDT

on a blank document I "insert" chart.

And it inserts looking normal, but when I click outside to continue it sizes to half size. 

Initial "insert"

followed by what it changes to when I click outside.

No resizing for changes will effect the "white space" around the actual chart.

I would like my FILLIN field for the date to default to the current date unless the user otherwise changes it. Setting the current date field code in the default box for the FILLIN field didn't work and simply displayed the raw field code.

Hebrew font shows in document and printing as blank squares

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 09:04 PM PDT

New computer, Windows 8.1, Word 2013.  I'm trying to work on a customer's document that has some Hebrew in it.  I have the font that came with Word (David), and another font I've downloaded and installed.  They all show up as squares.  Here's what I've done so far:

  • Tried more than one font--none work.
  • Changed the printer definition I was working with to several others on my computer--none work (my printer always printed just fine in Windows 7/Word 2010.
  • Updated the firmware in my printer (the driver was already up-to-date).
  • Searched for updates/patches to Word 2013--it said I was up to date.
  • Loaded the Hebrew language for Word 2013--keyboard and language/spell-check.
  • Rebooted the computer to see if any of the changes would kick in.
  • Talked to a support person who let me know that even though I've had this software less than 30 days, I don't qualify for support for this problem.
  • Googled for hours and got a "there was trouble signing you in, try again later" error message for Microsoft's support area when using Chrome.

Okay, so those last two points were actually whining--it's been a long day.

Any suggestions?  This all worked so beautifully with my old setup.

msgraph resizes on its own

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 08:54 PM PDT

Question 
jamesnauman asked on   
| 31 views
old msgraph needed

I have several word documents that have charts in them created with older versions of word (2007/2003).

I installed 2010 and now when I double click them to edit, they actual chart goes to about half size but the place holder is large.

I don't want to use the excel functions because the charts need to be updated through another 3rd party program.

So.  I have to keep the charts via msgraph.   But, when I double click the chart (or they get opened up by the 3rd party software)  they actual plot shrinks to about half size and the place holder is same or larger.

Any ideas on settings or preferences that would prevent the graph plots from resizing when double clicked?

Thanks

If you select the graph and then right click and then click on Format Object, you can use the Size tab on the Format Object dialog to re-size the chart.

After re-sizing a graph in a document, created Word 2003 and opened in Word 2010 here, the size of the graph does not change when double clicking on it.

Hope this helps,

It appears that you have double clicked on the graph which results in this when you right click

whereas, if you just click once, and then right click, you should get:

Excellent, I'll try that and see if I can go forward.

I was only getting this when I followed your instructions, but realized it was in a table.  If I copied and pasted outside the table I finally got the format object.

I'll change and go forward with the 3rd party program inputs, and see what happens.

OK, tried but didn't solve my problem.

When I format (or don't format) as soon as it gets opened and closed it changes size within the placeholder.  I've tried changing size, percentage , lock aspect, etc.

prior:

after formating (and opening then closing)

the graph shrinks and a ton of white space.  Any re-sizing, etc just changes the size of the outer place holder and not graph inside.

Any re-sizing, etc just changes the size of the outer place holder and not graph inside.

That has been my experience with MSGraph objects as well. In your Sample 1 (shrunken), can you drag the chart area to enlarge it?

Or, when you double-click on the chart, can you then drag the hashed border to resize it? I tested this in Word 2010 using a .doc file containing a chart created in Word 2003 (or earlier), and it worked as expected.

no matter what I do. When it reopens it is 1/2 the size of the place holder.

I change in format object the aspect, size or what have you, and when it opens the actual graph is always 1/2 of the place holder.  Even using the drag handles the graph remains 1/2 of the place holder.

double clicking the graph/place holder, it opens up what appears to be the correct size but whenever i click outside to "close"  the graph drops back to half side.

Someone said might be an MSgraph vs Excel problem,  any thoughts of correction.

New line without character (return)

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 08:05 PM PDT

Hi all,

I'm creating a "format notes" document where there will be a table with 2 columns(name and description).

Currently I have programmed a macro so that it adds each row as a new building block.

i.e.

name1 autotext that inserts
name2 autotext that inserts
name3 autotext that inserts

I want the auto text to use the formatting of the active document that they are using it in. 

i.e. if font size is 22, insert with that size.

This is done by removing all "return characters" (the backwards P looking one).

I thought I would just have to remove any of these characters at the end of the entry but it seems that any sort of return character in it conflicts with it (i.e. any bulleting/numbering).

I thought of using the Soft return (shift+enter) but it throws the entire format completely off.

Is there any work around for this?

ROLLING SIDE BAR

Posted: 29 Mar 2015 04:42 PM PDT

HELLO:

I am using an HP laptop computer w/W7 Home Premium. I have OFFICE 365 UNIVERSITY. When I go onto WORD and trying to append a document my side bar keeps rolling. I no if I click on to it, it'll stop, but when I am working and trying to move downwards to highlight a particular doc that I am working on, it just keeps scrolling down to the point where it is also picking up other info in the doc that I DO NOT want highlighted. HOW do I stop the sidebar from this 'rolling' effect, where it is quite 'nerve-racking'.

ANY SUGGESTIONS would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS,

Using PuTTy SSH I executed the synaptic command on the remote Debian OS

Update RHEL 5.1 to 5.4

When I make the big steps, I download all the .iso files and burn them
to CD-ROM, and install from them, but the rest of the stuff comes down
on-line, sometimes silently.

If you have another machine, you can download the latest files, burn
them to CD-ROM, and install from them. I would not do a re-install
except when going from one big release to another (e.g., RHEL 4 to RHEL 5).

The main (possibly only) difference is the usb support.

In the guest os, install the guest additions.

You should then be able to add usb devices in the settings for
the guest, or using the device menu, while the guest is running.
