I miss the office assistant that used to be in Windows Word. I read where MS took it out. Is there anyway to download it to my Word 2003. I tried getting it by clicking on "Help" to turn it on but pop up window said that I needed something 2.0 or greater (huh?).

I need to convert a very long list into a table

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 08:11 AM PDT

I need to convert a very long list into a table, I put in the separator charachters and then paragraph marks for the lines but the convert option is not available-its grayed out. Why? How can I get that option active?

efficiency

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 07:13 AM PDT

I don't know if it would be better to split these up and ask just one question per page - someone please tell me if so - but I would like to have a sense of "best practices" for doing the following. I do a lot of work from dictation by copying an earlier similar case and then modifying it on the fly. So I need ways to quickly move through the document for editing. Here are some of things I'd like to do (my hope would be to assign a keyboard shortcut to each if possible):

1. Select/delete a sentence.
2. Jump to the start of the next paragraph.
3. Jump to the end of the first line of the next paragraph.
4. Jump to the next comma.
5. Jump to the next period.
6. Delete to end of line.
7. Delete to end of paragraph.
8. Delete a whole paragraph.
9. Quickly find the Templates directory (to open or insert a template).
10. Quickly find my data directory (to open, insert, or save a document).
11. Change spacing. This would be where most of my paragraphs have only the paragraph sign at the end and a relatively small space between them and the next paragraph, instead of the old way of having two Returns after each paragraph so there's a paragraph sign on a line by itself. But then suddenly my doctor will start a numbered list--which then looks best with single spacing. I have found the menu choice of add or remove space before or after a line to manually go in and change each one, but I'm sure there must be a way to change some setting the first time I know it's going to be a list. And vice versa, by the way - sometimes the earlier copy of a document I'm starting with has a list and I no longer want the list or the single spacing. 
Maybe it would be best to simply choose the single spacing and use a double Return after each paragraph - but since the numbered lists are definitely in the minority, doing it this way would spread most of the text out unnecessarily.
12. Switch from hanging indent to no indent (or back again).

So whether these would be macros that I created and then stored and assigned a hotkey, or whether there's some simpler way than that - I'd just like to know how to be more efficient at all this.

Thanks!

How can I stop the track change feature in Word 2010 changing list numbering to grey text

Posted: 11 Jun 2013 03:31 AM PDT

I have recently gone to Word 2010 and find that when I have the Track Change feature enabled if I make changes to a numbered list the "numbering" shows in gray text.   I cannot seem to find any setting to alter this.

 

Also, if I insert multiple new paragraphs in the list the numbring repeats itself!

 

e.g.    I add a new level (a) which shows as an insertion with numbered level (a) and text in red as expected. 

Then I add a new para (b) but this shows (a) in grey striketrhough text (as if it were a deletion) followed by (b) in grey and then the text in red.

 

Any explanation or tips would be very much appreciated, its driving me nuts!

 

Thank you,

 

Donna

numbered list

Posted: 10 Jun 2013 07:17 PM PDT

Now I"m stuck trying to get a numbered list that is flush left:

1.   xxxxx
2.   xxxxx

Every time I put the 1. and a tab everything jumps in a few spaces to look like this:

   1.   xxxxx
   2.   xxxxx

It looks to me like I'm choosing a list that will do what I want but I must not be. I can see the tabs shifting on the ruler and tried to change them back, but they won't stick once the numbers are in there.

New Word 2013 user

Posted: 09 Jun 2013 07:33 PM PDT

I just installed MS Office 2013 Home & Student on my PC at home. It's an HP running Windows 7. For some reason, when I attempt to open up some documents on a flash drive, Word 2013 will open documents labeled "Microsoft Word Document," but won't bring up documents labeled "DOC."

My system wants me to download MS Works 9 to "play" those "DOC" documents. What is the deal with Word 2013? If it can't bring up .doc documents, that seems like a big drawback to me. I've been able to bring up these DOC documents before, on my work PC running Word 2010, without any problem. Is there something wrong with my installation or...?

Hi Josh,

Did you try ejecting the Office 2000 CD and insert the Office 4.2 CD
when asked for a qualifying product? For Office 2000 you should be
able to use any Office 4.x edition as a qualifying product - the
editions do not have to match.

Mandrake10 Login

Posted: 14 Aug 2004 02:54 PM PDT

"Rich Barry" <rr.com> dedi ki:
 

I agree with other posts that a user shouldn't login to GUI as root. You
can use root privileges from within a normal user session for *most* of
the tasks. One notable exception is being able to use Konqueror file
manager in root mode, without having to open a konsole, "su -", and run
konsole from within that session. Later on I will suggest a way to
streamline this in a normal user session.

However I don't find it appropriate too, patronizing a user and hiding
root login. You can "unhide" root from within KDE Control Center (System
-> Session Management : Users tab) but I don't like the idea of exposing
root user to public. I prefer another way: From Mandrake Control Center
(drakconf) -> System -> Display Manager : Choose KDM instead of MdkKDM.
This will bring up the original KDE display manager (so your adjustments
in KDE Control Center like showing clock, font sizes etc will take effect.)
Both KDM and MdkKDM won't show the hidden root user, but KDM will have an
input field for user so that you can manually enter an arbitrary username
there. This way, both you can hide critical userids fron the public at
large, while still being able to login into them when you need it.

For using Konqueror in root mode from within normal user account: Make a
copy of the Konqueror desktop item in your desktop, right click it and get
into properties dialog, change its icon to something different, get into
the "application" tab and there click on the "advanced features" : There
you will find a "Run with a different user" option. Enable it, and set the
user to root. Now, whenever you click on this icon on your desktop, kdesu
will pop-up and ask for root password, and you will be using Konqueror in
root mode. You can also do a similar arrangement in your KDE menu.

Copying files

Posted: 12 Aug 2004 03:12 PM PDT

com (John Bahran) wrote in message news:<google.com>... 

The simple answer is to use a gui file manager. Drag and drop works.

The other answer is:
1. Mount it
- let's imagine it ends up on /media/cdrom
2. Make the target directory.
e.g. mkdir /home/john/cd
3. copy recursively from one to the other
cp -R -p /media/cdrom/* /home/john/cd

man cp is your friend.

There is a bit of an issue over symbolic links. Most versions of cp
will create a second copy of a file rather than a link to it. It's
normal to add -P and then create the symlinks by hand.

Another technique instead of using cp is to use tar. The idea is to
create an archive onto a pipe and then expand it again. The details
are in some instances of the man page for tar. This has often been
used to deal with the symlink issue. Something like, if memory does
not fail me:
tar cf - /media/cdrom | (cd /home/john/cd ; tar xf - )

ADSL & Switch

But prpbably those modems will only have UTP ports, no BNC. Also it is
very difficult, if at all possible, to find a multi-port modem with more
than 4 ports, so you would need a regular hub/switch anyway (if not today
then tomorrow). I guess it could be more convenient to get a single-port
modem and a basic 8-port 10 Mbps hub with a BNC port, so you won't have to
change anything in your current LAN setup. Otherwise, without a BNC hub
you would either need to convert your LAN from BNC to UTP, or use yet
another hub with a BNC port to connect the BNC and UTP segments together.

P.S. Lately, some 10 Mbps hubs don't have a BNC port (as nobody uses it
they try to cut costs). But older ones all have a BNC port without
exception.

OpenOffice should run fine on vista - some software needs explicit
'vista versions' however that probably indicates either a poor
standard of design, or a dependence upon a certain internal feature
that has been changed in vista.

From what i've heard OpenOffice is currently -compatible- with vista,
and the developers are working on enhanced vista integration in later
versions.

My first observations after a quick look:

hit the spellcheck on a blank document and it crashed)
* It is still matching NeoOffice for speed (very slow!). This is =20
acceptable currently as optimisation is a later issue after =20

* The interface is fully integrated with the Mac UI and looks quite =20
nice.
* There was a small issue I believe in trying to resize the document =20

window?

[discuss] Book-Fold Feature

Posted: 24 May 2007 04:07 PM PDT

This feature already exists...it is called booklet printing, and is
accomplished by treating it as a brochure.

This is a pasting from the help file in Writer...I've printed booklets from
writer using these directions:

Printing a Brochure
You can print a Writer document as a brochure or a booklet. That is, Writer
prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold the paper,
you can read the document as a book.
When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use
portrait orientation for the pages. Writer applies the brochure layout when
you print the document.
To Print a Brochure
1.Choose File - Print.
2.In the Print dialog, click Properties.
3.In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation to
landscape.

If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in
landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your
printer setup dialog.

4.Return to Print dialog, and click Options.
5.In the Pages area of the Printer Options dialog, select Brochure.
6.For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, specify
to print right pages and left pages.
7.In the Print dialog, click OK.
If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing sides
in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a printer with
double-sided printing capability, then you can create an entire brochure
from your document without having to collate the pages later. If you have a
printer that only has single-sided printing capability, then you can achieve
this effect by first printing out the front pages with the Right pages
option marked, then re-inserting the entire paper stack in your printer and
printing all the back pages with the Left pages option marked.

If OpenOffice.org prints the pages in the wrong order, open the Printer
Options dialog, select Reversed, and then print the document again.

I think it is more like a macro that will calculate the pages printed on
both sides of a page to create a booklet/book section.

Think of it as if you take a small booklet apart. On a sheet, you could
have pages 1 and 14 printed on one side of the sheet and 2 and 13 on
the other side. The center of the page is the staple point. The next
page would print out 3,12 and 4,11.

This would be a handy macro for self publishing.

[discuss] Suggestions for Open Office

Quoting Robin Laing <gc.ca>:
 

OpenOffice.org already has their HTML editor. Just go to New > HTML Document

I do wish they have better CSS support on the stylist.
 

You can do this with making a template that include pagination with a =20
0 offset on it and make it the default.

to do this booklet options usually I preffer using OOo Draw which =20
allow you more flexibility. Word processors are awful DP tools.

[discuss] Still Immoral to Support Microsoft

Why people keep saying about 'steal' being based of something doesn't =20

Minix in itself hasn't stole anything from Unix nor BSD have stolen =20

Run the Remove Office utility & when the first screen apears hold down the
Option Key while you select "Remove Licensing Info". You don't ahve to
remove Office, itself. The next time you attempt to launch an Office app you
will be prompted to enter the new license key.

Can I upgrade MSO 2004 Student to 2008?

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 04:53 PM PST

Just elaborating on one point for clarification -

As others have replied, normally the education version can't be used to
upgrade to the next *education* version. However, if you purchase the
education version it *can* be used to upgrade to one of the _other_ packages
(Standard or Professional).

However, the release of 2008 works a bit differently (to your advantage) -
If you buy *any retail packaged version* of Mac:Office 2004 (including
Student & Teacher) you qualify for the "free" upgrade to Office 2008 for Mac
Special Media Edition *or* Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition
w/Expression Media. See:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/supersuitedeal/

As usual, read the "fine print" & make sure to fully comply with the
requirements when you submit for the offer:-)

Thank you for the definitive answer. This not only covers my situation,
but I felt it might be relevant to the OP. I figured why buy Office
2004 just to get the "Suite Deal" on Office 2008. If one could skip the
intermediary step and achieve the same, so much the better. I will
review the posts about the features available in Office 2004 that will
not be available in Office 2008.

Mac Office 2004 Select Version & purchasing Office 2007

Hi amit!

Just adding to JE's comments...

The MVPs have been paying close attention to the Office:mac deals that
Microsoft has been offering and often pointing folks to take advantage
of them. Both of them have been for retail purchases of the 2004
software and what you received from your University does not qualify as
"retail". It is instead "volume" licensing, which is why you were able
to receive the software as inexpensively as you did.

If you took the advice of the University to purchase the software
because you thought you'd receive Office 2008 for just S&H, ask them to
show you their proof that what they told you was, in good faith,
accurate. I bet they can't do it. If they can then you have legal
grounds for acting.

Microsoft has not reneged on any offers. Your University reseller was
mistaken in what he told you.

Hope this helps!
