I was working in Microsoft Word 2010 and three pages of text disappeared. I had saved periodically. Where might it be?

Posted: 14 Jul 2013 06:08 AM PDT

I was typing a document and I was on the third page.  I was almost done when I looked up and the entire document was gone.  I had saved periodically so I believe it can be retrieved somewhere.  When I open the document, there is no text, but the computer is telling me that the size of it is still 14 KB.  Suggestions?

Zoom syncs even when synchronous scrolling off

Posted: 13 Jul 2013 04:52 PM PDT

At times I need to view one part of a document while working on another part. It's simple enough to select View | New Window and then View | Side by Side, then click on Synchronous Scrolling to turn it off. So far, so good. Then, I reduce the zoom size of the part I'm referencing and magnify the zoom size of the window I'm editing. That's where Word 365 has an issue. Even though I've turned synchronous scrolling off, both windows zoom simultaneously.

 

I have not yet been able to have the windows zoom independently. How does one go about this?

 

Change default margins in Word 2007

Posted: 13 Jul 2013 04:18 PM PDT

The default margins for everything in Word 2007 seems to be 1" X 1" X 1" X1".  I use margins of .75" X .75" X .75" X .75" for everything.  I don't care how many times I have set them using custom margins  when I start a new document the custom margins has been reset to the same default measurements.  Is there any way at all to change that default setting or to make the custom margins setting retain the settings I use. 

I have Windows 7 Home Premium and this problem just started a couple of weeks ago.  I've tried running a repair cycle - that didn't work.  I reinstalled Office - that didn't work either.  I shouldn't have to reset my margins for every document I open since that's supposed to be what the "Last Custom Setting" under Margins is for.  But now I have to reset all four sides every time I start a new document.

I hope someone can help me with this.  It at all possible I would prefer to be able to set the default margins to the ones I use.

Final--Final--FINAL: How to Insert Page Numbers on Word 2010

Posted: 13 Jul 2013 05:10 AM PDT

I have wasted more hours and blood pressure on this subject than a rational human should ever have wasted. If I had not paid for Office 2010 specifically for Word, and if I did not have documents in need of easy pagination, I'd have spent my time in other ways. I finally settled for the (non) answer of opening documents in .DOC mode and saving them as .DOCX.

 

I now need to paginate another document, using both roman numerals and page numbers. I thought I would post this question a final time, because the insult of "fields" and other arcana, when pagination used to be as easy as clicking Insert and Page Number, is too much. If there has been any fix that would allow a user of normal intelligence and twenty years' Word experience to insert a page number in a document and not have to spend more than an hour [sic] getting the page number to mirror on verso and recto, I would like to hear it here.

 

Thank you.

Office 2010 Formatting changes not being displayed

Posted: 10 Jul 2013 08:36 AM PDT

I have a user that is having an issue across all Office 2010 (32 bit) applications. Whenever he tries to make any updates to his formatting in any excel/word document, the changes are not displayed on screen (font color change or adding/removing borders to tables). 

When I make a couple formatting changes and print the file, the print does not contain the formatting changes. But if he saves and emails the file to anyone else, the changes appear correctly on another system. 

I have already tried to repair and re-install Office, delete user profile but the issue persists. Is there anything else specific I should be trying?

Thanks,
Ravi

Spreadsheet Problem for Works

Posted: 20 Mar 2005 07:49 AM PST

Thank you but I am looking for a way to do it without any formula changes
after the initial setup. I just want to insert a new row or rows and the
total will adjust itself.
Example with 5 item running average,

item1
item2
item3
....
item10

average of 1-10
average of 6-10

Now I add item 11

item1
item2
item3
....
item10
item11

average of 1-11
average of 7-11

What I need is a way to dynamically change the range using a formula.

Hi Andy,

Perhaps,

Install WORD word processor separately, then Activate it.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Select Works Suite 2005 from the Currently installed programs list.

You may then select to "CHANGE or REMOVE" the installation.

Choose CHANGE.

Proceed to install WORD and the WORD in Works Add-In.

To re/install the Word in Works Suite Add-in:

1. Place the Works Suite Disc 1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
3. Right-click the CD-ROM drive icon, and then click Explore.
4. In the left pane, double-click the WordAdd folder.
5. In the right pane, double click Setup.exe.
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall the Word in Works
Suite Add-in.

I would not agree with the previous response.
(pasting into Database first ?)

Just try pasting the document direct to MSWord

Then navigate to Tools / Sort

you will have the option to sort via paragraphs or list.

Sort, then paste back to MSWorks.

Column to keep running total

Posted: 13 Mar 2005 10:25 AM PST

Put your "Total" cell further down the page
allowing say 20-30 blank rows
Fill the total column down as advised

When you add an entry it will auto fill.

VLookup

Posted: 12 Mar 2005 04:25 PM PST

Thanks Kevin,
I'll print out your response and work through it.

I have been using Excel 97, but because of the problem
exchanging data between works and excel, thought I would try
to stay in works.

The formula works fine in excel (with a few nomenclature changes)

When pasting data from DB to SS in works
there is no option to paste as "Text" as in excel.

The only option one has is "paste as values" exactly what I do <not> want :(

Thanks for your extended reply

| Hi Rodney,
|
| I'll try and capture the essence, but don't quote me. :-)
|
| VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP operate best with (ascendingly)
| ordered lists.
|
| Your formula (algorithm) operates in the following manner:
|
| VLOOKUP value of AB503 in list, range P2 : P300
| IF the first value in the list is greater than value of AB503
| THEN result = 0 (irrespective of other values in list)
| OTHERWISE result = value of 'successful' lookup
| ( successful does not necessitate a matched value for AB503 )
|
| Particularly,
|
| 1. If the first value in the list is greater than AB503 then ERR results
| (irrespespective of further values in colum P )
| This gives ISERR(lookup) is true
| and from IF(ISERR(lookup) is true,0,...)
| we get 0 in the result cell.
|
| 2. IF AB503 value is in (asc.) ordered list THEN result = (offset value)
|
| 3. IF AB503 value is not in (asc.) ordered list AND a/all values
| in the list are less than the value of AB503 THEN result = offset
| value of number less than AND closest to the value of AB503
| (i.e. always the last value in the list).
|
| Further, and why I said "operate best with (ascendingly) ordered list" ;-)
|
| 4. IF the list is unordered, AND the value of AB503 is not in the list
| AND the first value is not greater than AB503 then the result is the
| offset value for the first of the two adjacent numbers whose values
| "intersect" the lookup value ( i.e. always the lower number ).
|
| 5. IF the list is unordered, AND the value of AB503 is in the list
| AND the first value is not greater than AB503 BUT two values before
| the AB503 value "intersect" the value of AB503, then the result is the
| offset value for the lower number).
|
| 6. IF the list is unordered, AND the value of AB503 is in the list
| AND all column P values preceding the matching value are less than
| AB503, (whether ordered or not) then the result is the offset value for
| the matched number AB503 ).
|
| Perhaps, suspect that No.4 above applies in your case.

But if you are importing it as a .csv you can rename it from .txt to
..csv without drama?

Aren't .txt files containing .csv data non standard? (I know .csv is a
type of text data, but calling a car a Ford narrows things down a bit).
This rattles the poor programs paramaters a tad.

this continues to make me worry about the policy of allowing

A gentleman posted offering the free services of his professional web

Two subscribers hit Reply and answered, but he won't see it.

Hate to revive a dead horse just to beat it one more time, but WHY allow
unsubscribed posts (IMO, should not be allowed, persons who do not wish
to receive list emails can use the forums!) if the headers are not set
up to reply to the author of the post-being-replied-to as well as to the
list?

Should it really be up to Discuss listmates to reveal full headers on
all incoming posts to which they wish to reply, scan through dozens of
header lines looking to see if there is a "Delivered-To: moderator for
org" line, and manually copy the OP's email address
into a cc field?

Even if list admins don't think that is too much to ask, folks just
don't know or don't always remember to do this. It leaves the OP feeling
like there is no community support. Very bad for PR and for expansion of
the user and developer communities.

[discuss] Suggestion for WordPerfect Compatible option

Posted: 22 Mar 2008 10:31 PM PDT

On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 3:18 AM, David wrote:
 

Creating a template would be trivial, if one either:
* has the specifications;
* has a working version of the program;

I have no idea if the version of WordPerfect I have, will run on my
current system. (It came with either Mandrake 1.0, or Corel's Linux
Desktop. I use Ubuntu Christian Edition.)
 

OOo menus can be customized to reflect the layout of WordPerfect.
Some, but not all of the keystroke combinations can also be remapped
to that which was used by WordPerfect.

[Personally, I'd rather remap to the WordStar Command set. But that
requires rewriting the OOo code.]

The major feature that WordPerfect users want, that OOo does not
direclty offer is Reveal Codes;

In OOo Reveal codes add zero functionality. None the less, there is
a macro that will provide something similar to Reveal codes in Write,
and a second macro does that for Calc.

(Symbian/WinMobile AND UNO).

However it is possible to have a ODF editor done with the Symbian toolkit
and just have one framework to edit the ODF. As a matter of fact there is
a viewer of ODF in mobile phones which was shown in Barcelona called

[discuss] Simple Typo

Posted: 13 Mar 2008 01:24 PM PDT

Hi;

This is a grammar trap I have had to look up several times in my life to
get the correct usage of Latin origin words. My main reference is
"Fowler's Modern English Usage". He has several entries under "plurals",
"latin plurals", etc.

It seems to boil down to this:

The English language uses words of Latin origin in three ways.

* Words that have been taken/borrowed from Latin; either directly
or through french; but have become fully integrated into the
English language as English words.
* Words that have a technical meaning; defined by scientists,
mathematicians and other technical writers or speakers. This is
a holdover from the days when Latin was the 'lingua franca' of
early science. Because of this early international scientific
usage and fixed definition they are still considered Latin
words, not absorbed English words.
* And of course, Latin words that are used in Latin phrases and
quotations by Lawyers and Philosophers. They are Latin words
because their original Latin meaning is intended within the
quotation.

Examples of pluralization:

English words, even if the origin was Latin but are now used in common
English, are made plural by adding an 's' -- as would be expected. E.g.
"I have several different formulas I use to pick up girls". Or,"The
formulas used are just basic rules of thumb".

Technical words (math, physics, chemistry etc) are not English, they are
a "lingua franca" of science and don't change in their very specific
meaning.
"This is a formula: A=Pi r ^2"
"These are formulae: A=Pi r ^2, and, a^2=b^2+c^2"

Of course, If you are using Latin phrases or quotations, they should be
pluralized using proper Latin grammar.

In the case mentioned above, OOo should use formulae because it is

[discuss] Theme support for OpenOffice.

Posted: 11 Mar 2008 01:16 AM PDT

Well actually there is a mild theme support which is that most of the
icons are png and stored under zip files. This files are also stored under
[OpenOffice.org]/share/config/

This has all the iconset stored in zip packages. It wont be that hard to
get a new theme load up (or maybe it does) but would be better to have a
zip with the new theme.

Now I know this might not be all that you wanted and you are looking for
toolkit support. However the toolkit wasn't built for theme in mind and
the actual color scheme would need to be either engineer or activate. This
is easier to ask once we get an actual iconset to work with.

Yes, sort-of. If you look in the Application menu for the About item and

Illegal handling of Greek Characters in Speller (Office 2008)

Posted: 03 Feb 2008 10:45 AM PST


Thanks for the try.

I am sure that this is a bug in these two apps. It is correct that the
language is applied to the whole doc but this is not the problem.
Try the following. Write a few greek words in an excel sheet (i hope
you can) like the ones in the list (ðÜëé, ððð Ýíáò). Calling the
speller, the words containing greek letter pi (ð) presented with only
the pi letter in the spell dialog. All other characters are missing.
The word with three pi (ððð) appears correctly. This means that excel
passes only pi from greek chars to the speller. If the greek word
contains two nonconsecutive pi then the speller presents the first as
unknown word and then the second as a different unknown word
considering the characters between the two pi as space chars. If
instead of greek chars you put english chars between two
nonconsecutive pi then the whole word is correctly passed to speller
and handled normally.
In Entourage not even the pi is passed to speller. Greek chars
considered as empty space.

PS to my own (which I actually tried to cancel):

While there are free scripts out there, this question has a lot of
different variations and issues that you could run into that would take
a lot of time to work around, so it's probably worth just biting the
bullet and paying for MacLinkPlus (that Michel linked), which is a more
extensive program that should already have taken all these issues into
account.

Using Repair Permissions after installing MS Office or any application that

1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.

Don't run from CD. Updates contain a newer versions of the application's

Ah, well! Perhaps someone has added something without my knowing! I'll have to check the processes and see if there's anything odd running.

CRM comes with licenses for the users to view reports. If you want to modify

v9.2.2 specifically for this.

Crystal Reports v9.0 and use the enhancement patch that is available on your
