Can't select the graph colours I want

Posted: 27 Jun 2013 05:24 AM PDT

I had to repair my version of Word 365 and now when I copy a graph from excel to word the colour changes.  Any bars/lines that were red, accent 2 in excel become orange, accent 2 in word and I cannot for the life of me see a way to change it back!  Everything was fine before I repaired.  Even when I highlight the graph in word and go to CHART TOOLS, DESIGN, CHANGE COLOR, there is no colour scheme available with Red, accent 2!

Please help,

How to get a little space between items in list?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 05:13 PM PDT

I have two lists in my document, one bulleted and the other numbered, and I would like a little bit of space between each item in each list - maybe 4 points, 6 points at most. However, when I try to achieve this via the 'Space After' and 'Space Before' spinners in the Paragraph dialog (assuming, quite naturally, that each list item is a paragraph since it ends with a carriage return (pilcrows show up after each one when I click on the 'Show paragraphs etc.' button), Word just ignores me. And I can find nothing in the 'Create a list' button dialogs that addresses the question, either.

Thanks for you help,

How can I get an unnumbered heading into my Document Map?

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 05:02 PM PDT

The headings in the book I'm just about finished writing are numbered 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. Thanks to recent help from Suzanne Barnhill they work correctly all the way through 1.1.1.1, which is all I have or want. They all appear in my Document Map, and all are indented appropriately, i.e. with each level starting just to the right of the heading type above it. But now I want two more headings to appear in my Document Map: One for the Glossary and one for the References  section. I want them to appear in the correct order (namely Glossary after the last numbered heading, and References below that, which is where they in fact reside in the document), but I do not want them to have numbers by them since they're not part of the document proper.

I can add new headings (based on an un-used heading that give a new name to and save), and they look fine but they do not appear in the Document Map. If I do select these headings in the document, and declare them to be Heading 1, they appear exactly where they should be in the Document Map, but with the pesky numbers attached to them. Then when I re-assign them to my numberless heading, they disappear from the Document Map.

What to do?

Thanks for your help,

Peyton

Dual Figure/Table Autonumbering

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 10:16 PM PDT

Advice please!
The document requires figures and tables in the main document to be numbered in the usual manner, i.e. Table 1, Figure 1, etc, but tables and figures in the attachments—which are part of the main Word document—be numbered e.g. Table A-1.1 (the first table in Attachment 1), Figure A-2.2 (the second figure in Attachment 2) , etc. Is this possible? If yes, please advise how one can achieve this. Also, how can one incorporate the attachment number in the table/figure number? The standard method seems to allow the inclusion of heading numbers only.

blank pages appearing as page numbers added to document

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:30 AM PDT

I am trying to build a document with: Front Matter consisting of a Cover, Table of Contents and a List Of Figures using Word 2010 running under Win7. This is followed by about 60 pages of text (with Chapter headings) and figures(actually pictures). Front Matter uses the iii form of page number and the Text/Figures uses the 1,2,3 form of page number. All works fine except for Word adding several "blank" pages after the Front Matter. Something I am forgetting or doing wrong must be causing this. Here is what I do:

  • Use INSERT tab to add two blank pages in front of the text for the TOC and the LOF
  • Precede each chapter header with Word's Header1, Header2, Header3 Styles
  • Precede each Figure with Header5 Style
  • Put a Section Break(next page) immediately before the 1st character of the text to seperate the Front Matter from the Text/Figures
  • Delink Section 1 and Section 2, close Headers and Footers
  • Scroll to the 1st blank page
  • Position the cursor in about the middle of this page
  • Select the REFERENCES Tab
  • Click the Table of Contents icon producing the TOC on the 1st page
  • Scroll to the next blank page 
  • Position the cursor in about the middle of this page
  • Under the REFERENCES Tab click the List of Figures icon
  • Using OPTIONS under List of Figures specify to Word that the Header5 style is used for figures
  • Clicking OK twice produces the List of Figures
  • Scroll to 1st page of text
  • Open Headers and Footers and select Page numbers, specify that 1,2,3 type should be placed in center top of page, start at 1
  • Scroll to TOC
  • Open Headers and Footers and select Page Numbers, specify that iii type be placed at center top of page, start at i
  • Close Headers and Footers 
  • Click the Cover Page icon under the INSERT tab

BUT SOMEHOW TWO BLANK PAGES HAVE BEEN ADDED FOLLOWING THE LOF. These pages don't seem to be DELETEable

 

Can anyone tell me what I have omitted or not done?

replacing resources across multiple tasks and projects

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 10:12 AM PDT

This is one excellent use of the Resource Assignment box. On the
standard toolbar is a tool with 2 human heads on it. Click on that,
and the Resource Assignment box appears. Select all tasks with the
resource you want to replace assigned to them (if there are a lot,
apply the "using resource" filer). Select as many of these as you can
(this will be limited by available memory, so closing other apps may
help do more at once). Select the resource's name in the Resource
Assignment box, the click on the "Replace" button. A dialog box will
appear, with the same list of resources you just had in the Resource
Assignment box. Select the resource you want to replace the other
with. Click OK.
One of the nice parts of using this method is that any partial
assignments on the original resource will be replicated for the
replacement resource.
Best of luck.

Filtering for Critical Path of Specific Task

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 08:20 AM PDT

You have several problems. A major one, IMHO, is your use of Must Finish
On constraints for your key deliverables. A constraint in the scheduling
engine is not the same thing as a constraint in the world of your project.
You are using Must Finish On to mean "this is when we have to have this done
by or we are in deep trouble" but that's NOT what a constraint means in
Project. To Project, a "constraint" means that this task will ALWAYS be
shown happening per the constraint, even if it is physically impossible for
it do do so according to the durations and links of the preceeding tasks.
Consider task A and B, each 5 days duration, starting next Monday. That
task sequence will finish 10 days later. They lead to a finish milestone.
Simple FS links A->b->Finish. If I put a MFO constraint on the milestone of
1 September, indicating that's when the contract says we have to finish,
guess what Project shows? It shows task A running from 16 Aug to 20 Aug,
task B from 23 Aug to 27 Aug and then a gap until the milestone occurs,
scheduled on 01 Sep. But when did the milestone REALLY occur? 27 Aug!
Using the constraint caused the milestone to be shown occuring at a date
that is patently in error. So we take another tack. Let's put a Must
Finish No Later Than constraint of 01 Sep on it instead. Now Project shows
the milestone occuring 27 Aug, the correct date. But we still have a
problem. We blew it and task B was grossly under-estimated and actually
takes 10 days instead of 5. Now task B finishes on 03 Sep. But wait,
looking at our milestone it shows finishing the project 01 Sep, right on
schedule!!!!! Again, obviously an error - we CAN'T be finishing on time
because the predecessor that MUST be finished for us to really be done with
all the work actually isn't finished until 2 days later!

A second problem is the use of the term "critical path." It seems like you
are using the term to mean "the important task sequence for producing a
deliverable." But that's not it. As Project (and CPM in general) uses the
term, the critical path is the sequence of events that determines the
overall duration of the entire project. There is no such thing as a
"critical path to a deliverable" unless that particular deliverable just
happens to lie on the critical path of events to the end of the project.
There may be lots of deliverables in a project whose delay to some extent
would not result in a delay of the overall completion of the project and by
definition they are not critical. For instance, I have an application
development project that requires 1 month design, 4 months programming and
testing, and 1 month rollout. I can write the user's manual any time after
design is done because at that point the functionality is locked down and
the programmers write to the design specs. Training is a part of rollout
and I won't actually use the user's manual until we begin training. Writing
the manual is not a critical task or deliverable, even though it's really
really really important, unless it's delayed into the 6th month and the
delay causes training and thus completion of rollout to be delayed,. It is
not a critical deliverable, does not lie on the critical path, and there is
no critical path leading up to it UNLESS it gets delayed more than 4 months
from when it could have been started. At that point, its schedule becomes
the determining factor in the date of the conclusion of all the project work
and so it becomes critical and the critical path shifts to include the
sequence leading to and from it.

Over-allocation indicator - for specific task duration.

Posted: 09 Aug 2004 11:31 PM PDT

Hi Steve and thanks for response!

There is no importance which task was 'first' - if there is an
over-allocation on specific day - all tasks that take place in that place are
'suspicious' - and I want them to be marked (by the indicator field for
example).

My problem is to recognize onle these tasks that 'involved' in the
over-allocation.

Calendar and Change Working Time (Use default)

Posted: 07 Aug 2004 10:15 AM PDT

Use set the "default" start and end times on the Tools, Options, Calendar
page. Those defaults do NOT change anything in the working times calendar
or modify its defaults. In fact, nothing on that entire page has any effect
on the working time calendar at all, contrary to what the names of the
fields appear to indicate.

Here's what it does do. First of all, make note that ALL date fields are
actually date/time fields. You may choose whether to display the times or
not but they're always going to be there. When you enter a task name and
duration, normally Project calculates its start and end date/time for you
based on the Project calendar, predecessor relationships, and resource
availability. But you may, for some particular reason, wish to set a
constraint on the task and one easy way to do it is to over-ride the
calculated start or end date with your own entry (and that's the only time
you should EVER enter something in those two columns). If you enter
something in the Start field, Project sets a Start No Earlier Than
constraint of the date you entered. But it also needs to know what time to
include in that entry as well. If you click in the Start field and select a
date from the little popup calendar, it uses your Project Calendar's working
hours to determine what time on the selected date to use. But if you
manually type in the date without explicitly including a time in your entry,
it uses whatever you've set as the "Default Start Time" on the calendar
options page.

Event sink for changing X-headers

This rather seems to be malformed spam emails, these random words are
used to confuse Bayesian methods. Your problem might be that the actual
message is bad, i.e. the message does not contain an empty line after
the headers so these words are treated as header information.

To confirm this you should examine the full MIME message. This cannot
be done with outlook as it only shows partial header information, but
using another MUA - like outlook express - you can get the email in
question via POP3 or IMAP.

If this is the problem I do not think too much can be done - use some
kind of spam protection, if you have not done this already.

The subtopic indicator consists in a hashed underlining of the heading level you are looking at.

Is there any way to turn this off?

Word 2007 "line spacing" changes the space above the line, need to change it below the line; how?

Working on a legal doc, need to ajust the spacing to match up with the line numbers. If the adjustment is at the top, cannot match the first number.

Office 365 and Word

editing two parts of same doc, on same window, vertically

Posted: 26 Jun 2013 12:20 AM PDT

I'm interested in editing two far-apart pages on the same, quiet long, document. 
splitting the doc horizontally is fairly easy, but can it be done vertically? (with a wide screen, it's more convenient viewing the two pages on two columns, reather then two rows).

I don't want to use the Print Layout, and I don't want two different windows and then viewing the two pages side by side (because I'm using a second, different document that I switch to and from frequently).

this illustration shows what I need.

Thanks for the help!

Creating legacy text box fields with calculations can yield incorrect results

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 07:07 PM PDT

Hi all,

I have a strange result when using legacy text boxes in Word 2013.

Imagine you have a table with a few rows. Each row has columns for legacy text box fields to enter a quantity and an amount. Another column contains a legacy text box field that calculates the row total by multiplying quantity * unit price. (On all fields, Calculate on exit is checked.)

Then, in the last row of the table, there is a total row.

And here is where the strange result occurs. If you define the formula on the total row as =TotalA+TotalB+TotalC or =SUM(TotalA, TotalB, TotalC), the result is exactly double what it should be (i.e. when it should be 10, it actually shows 20). However, when using =SUM(ABOVE) the result is correct.

It's not always feasible to use SUM(ABOVE) (depending on the form's design), so it's only a mediocre workaround.

Is this a bug in the product? Is there another reason the result is double?

Thanks for any ideas,

SA.

Heading 4 hidden until used - how can I use it if hidden?

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 03:59 PM PDT

I'm reworking table of contents in test procedures my department is writing to show another level of information in the TOC.  I recreated the table of contents to display Heading 4 styles.  Heading 4 is in my style list, but style manager shows it as "hidden until used".  Since it's hidden, I can't use it.  Catch-22!

Insert PDF multi-page document into Word

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 12:35 PM PDT

Is it possible to easily insert a multi-page PDF document into a Word 2010 document?  From my understanding, when you insert the object, it only shows/inserts the first page.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT

Posted: 25 Jun 2013 11:52 AM PDT

My installation of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2013 sometimes opens with ONLY the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar).  Perhaps this can be best explained by three screenprints that I have posted to my home Comcast account, as in the three links below:

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013excel32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013word32color9.png

 

http://abc.salem.consulting.home.comcast.net/~abc.salem.consulting/2013ppt32color9.png

 

For the above three screenprints, I added a purple arrow, using MS Paint, to draw attention to the problem (see the top left of these three screenprints, where the QAT is all that is shown of the open program).

 

Following is some more information about this problem:

 

[1]  I am running Windows 7.

 

[2]  I have a Levono ThinkPad R61 laptop, which is locked into a Levono docking station, which in turn allows this laptop to provide dual monitor support.  I have two 19-inch monitors hooked to the docking station: A Samsung SyncMaster 920BM and a CTL 191LX.  The problem, when it occurs, happens on my left monitor (thus my screen-prints in the above 3 links show only my left monitor).

 

[3]  I have found a work-around to the problem: change my color settings from "True Color (32 bit)" to "High Color (16 bit).  I am actually OK with that work-around, since my loss of various graphics and Windows 7 features, due to being at 16 bit color is a minor inconvenience to me.  If I need to use "True Color (32) bit" in Windows 7, my home computer works perfectly for that.  However, a fix to the problem would be nice to have, since having the 32-bit "cool looking" enabled Windows 7 at my work, on my laptop, would be nice to have (but I could do without it and just use the less-cool 16-bit Windows 7 at work). 

 

[4]  As far as I know, my laptop does NOT have a video card in it.

 

[5]  My laptop had a dual core processor running at 2.00 GHz.  My laptop has 2GB of RAM.  My laptop has a 75 GB hard-drive that is about 75% full.

 

[6]  When my laptop is running in 32-bit color, the problem can be replicated as follows:

 

[6.1] Open Word, Excel or PowerPoint 2013 to a new blank document.  As I recall, the problem does not happen for MS Access.

 

[6.2] Maximize that document on my left monitor.

 

[6.3] Minimize the document.

 

[6.4]  On the taskbar, click on Word, Excel or PowerPoint, and the problem (ONLY the QAT showing) sometimes occurs (about 50% of the time), as in the three links above.

 

[7] My laptop has been recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and it runs pretty fast, and perfectly, except for the problem mentioned by the three links above.

 

[8]  Most of the settings for Windows 7 and Office 2013 are at their defaults - and for the few settings that I changed in Windows 7 and Office 2013, my changes were made AFTER I noticed the problem.  As I recall, the problem started happening immediately after I upgraded to Windows 7 (I had XP before), and put Office 2013 on it.

 

Note: I chose "Word" for the topic area of my post, since I use Word most often, as compared to Excel and PowerPoint.

 

ADDED TO MY ORIGNIAL POST:

 

I undocked my laptop from the docking station, and the problem still DOES happen, when in 32-bit colors.

Can proportional spacing be changed to fixed spacing?

Posted: 24 Jun 2013 08:34 PM PDT

I am trying to reproduce a type written genealogy book from 1931. It was hand typed. I am trying to create as close of a facsimile as possible. The original, of course,  was done on an old fashioned typewriter. Is there a way to remove the proportional spacing and create the fixed spacing of an old typewriter? I want to get as close to the look and feel of the original as possible.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Calendar Reminder Problem?

Posted: 04 Feb 2005 12:08 PM PST

WkCalRem is running at all times. I have tested the problem with many
different parameters and it comes down to this. Single occurrences of
reminders work fine. Multiple occurrences of reminders appear in the View
Reminders box but the box does not automatically popup.

Is there a way to delete the calendar file and start over? Maybe there is a
problem with the file.

Thanks for your reply Michael. I have found that I can send an email from
within each application and Outlook (in my case) is automatically selected
as the email option (hence the global settings in Windows). However, in the
'Launch Tasker. window where the options are icons on the left side, if I
want to check email from there all I have is the "Outlook Express" icon. I
would like to be able to launch Outlook and not Outlook Express (which I
only use for newsgroups).

Thanks again,

Perhaps this helps, a Works and installer clean up prior to reinstall.

Works Database Report Printing Border line Problems

You have to earn your stripes with "Reporting"
nothing less than hours of trial and error, and practice
will bring you to ease with this enigmatic procedure.

But, gee, when you master it, life is sweeet.

Thank goodness we have the likes of Kevin James

Error message - Works 8

Hi JFMcKenny,

Did you once use a key/USB drive ?

If so insert that into the drive when using History.

Delete the file if no longer required, the message should then go away.
