Microsoft Word - alphabetical sort weird issue

Microsoft Word - alphabetical sort weird issue

alphabetical sort weird issue

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 03:02 PM PDT

I am using a Word 2007 document that is a list of glossary terms. The glossary is for an older version of a book I am working on. I am pasting the new words at the top of the document, and then sorting so that the words from the new chapters should appear either before or after the same word if it appeared in the last version.  My issue is this: the original set of words is duplicating itself every time. I sort, and I get a list of the words as they appeared before I ever started this project followed by the original words with changes and the new words sorted in this second group. Other times the original list gets sorted with the new and improved list with the new set of words sorted as well. I can't figure out how or why this is happening. I have done similar projects in the past and not run into this problem. Let me know if this is not well expressed. It is a tricky problem.

Setting top & bottom margins for Normal template

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:23 PM PDT

I cannot seem to set the top & bottom margins on the Normal template (nor for a new document after I open MS Word).  They are "stuck" at the very top and bottom (no room at all).  I've gone into Page Layout, custom set the margins at 1" and clicked on Set as Default at the bottom, but the change does not take.

Losing spaces between words upon opening a previously closed Word document

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 01:12 PM PDT

I have Word 2010 with Windows 7 Home Premium. Usually upon opening a previously closed Word document, throughout the document I lose the space between two words in a sentence if either of the two words contain a capital first letter or if there is a punctuation mark between the two words.  I cannot figure out why; I have to go through and re-enter a space between all the affected words upon opening.

Word Error

I have created a template for my company and somehow the file has corrupted. I have read many posts on here that people have fixed these files and was wondering if someone could help me in the process.

 

 

The link to it is here..  I am new to this and am not sure if this is at all accurate.

Format content control placeholder text to include a tab

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 11:42 AM PDT

I'm creating a template and want a Paragraph Heading placeholder I created to use an existing style and to include a 0.5 tab indent so that when the user selects the placeholder and types, the text is formatted using a predetermined style and the text is automatically indented by 0.5" without the user having to press Tab. I think I would try to modify the style of the content control, but Tab is dimmed. I have no idea why it would be dimmed. I'm very new to the Developer tab and editing controls. 

Maybe since I'm a newbie to this, it might be easier to show you what I'm trying to accomplish, and you can give me advice on how best to do that. I assume I create a style first and then create a content control based on that style. I want the content control to use a style for the first part of a paragraph that will indent the heading automatically and use a specific font--in this case, the default font but with Dark Blue, Text 2 color. Then I would like to be able to type text in the Normal font (automatic) following that content control. Then I would like to press Enter at the end of that paragraph and have everything subsequent to that be in Normal style. So here's what I hope it would look like, only I wouldn't have to press Tab before the Paragraph Heading control. I figured out I can modify the style and in the Style for following paragraph box, click Normal, and that will take care of the lines following the style. But that is dimmed also. If anyone can recommend a book or resource for styles and content controls, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Headers and Footers not the same in Word 2013 from Word 2010.

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 07:53 AM PDT

I recently installed MS Office 2013. I previously had Office 2010. When I installed 2013 it loaded alongside 2010 but I have since removed 2010. 

I am now having issues with my document header and footer when opening Word documents last saved in 2010. The 2013 Word makes page 1 a blank page with a header and footer and all subsequent pages with text have none. In 2010 Word the document first page had the header and footer with text, which is how I wanted it, and no header and footer on subsequent pages. If I untick different first page in the design tab all headers and footers disappear on all pages. I have not been able to get the document to appear how it used to be in 2010. What is going on?

Suddenly, the ¶ shows up in Word 2010 figure captions - how do I get rid of it?

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:44 AM PDT

I am currently working on a very long and complex document (my dissertation). At the moment, it has 188 pages and will become even longer. Suddenly, the ¶ symbol shows up only in captions for figures - this appears to be a bug. The symbol does not show up anywhere else except for in figure captions. How do I get rid of it?

 

FYI, the document is already quite complex and currently contains:

  • A Table of Contents
  • A reference list
  • List of Figures
  • List of Tables

All of these are automatically generated. In addition, I use EndNote (as I currently have approximately 280 citations). In order to add notes to the caption that comply with APA format (which I must use), I have to combine captions with the text that follows using "ctrl-alt-enter" to insert a style separator.

 

Ugh! I just took one last look before calling it a night - the ¶ now shows up EVERY TIME that I used ctrl-alt-enter" to insert a style separator. This also includes after headings within the document!

Word 2010 crashes on opening

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 06:18 PM PDT

I just changed to Windows 7 from Vista, and then did a MS Office 360 installation from the internet. I cannot use Word at all, although Excel and PowerPoint are fine. Wherever I begin (new document, open document from a file, open from the web) the screen fades, I get a "Microsoft Word has stopped working" box, and it either restarts automatically or I get a 'close program' option. I had similar 'freeze' issues with Word 2007 and Vista (although I needed to reboot the machine when Word crashed), which was why I upgraded. I just uninstalled Word 2007. 
Should I reinstall Word? If so, is this a straightforward process?
Are there changes I should make before reinstalling Word 2010?

Weird Fixed Duration Calculation!

As Jan said, probably a bug. But if you leave out manually entering the

calculate duration correctly.

How do I identify existing schedule conflicts in MS project

Posted: 06 Oct 2004 08:15 PM PDT

If by schedule conflicts you mean resources being double booked, just go
look for the red names on the resource sheet. Red means they're
overallocated, which means that at some point in the project they're booked
to be doing more work than their maximum allowed usage. Usually this means
you've put them to be in two places at once, ie, working on two or more
concurrent tasks that should require their full attention each. To identify
the specifc areas of conflict, switch to one of the usage views and use the
[Alt][F5] hotkey to jump from overallocation to overallocation. Look for
work hours in red.

project management courseware

Posted: 06 Oct 2004 02:32 PM PDT

Sybex's book "IT Project + Study Guide" by Heldman and Cram is a good
overview, esepcially if you're in the IT industry. It's oriented toward
preparing for the Comptia certification exam but still is a good general
discussion of PM principles with application regardless of the industry
you're in. Element K Press has courseware available to prep for both the
Comptia IT Project + and the PMP exams that could be useful as well, albeit
somewhat limited in scope. All of these require between 5 to 10 class days
to deliver the material. Element K also has courseware for a 1-day "Project
Management Fundamentals" course but it is very light-weight in my opinion.
As a preliminary day before 2 or 3 days training on MS Project it's ok but
about all it really does is expose the students to some basic vocabulary and
general PM concepts.

How do I manage/balance resources where one reasource is leading .

Posted: 06 Oct 2004 02:05 PM PDT

I'd do it like this. It sounds like resource 2 is supervising while
resource 1 is actually doing the work. When the supervisor is actively
interacting with the worker he can't be doing something else but on the
whole watching over this task is only going to occupy a portion of his
workday. Estimate how much time is going to be consumed by his oversight
duties, for illustration lets say he's going to spend about 1 hour per day
coaching the worker actually doing the task.

Enter the task, 2 day duration, and assign the full-time resource actually
doing the work to it 100%. Make the task non-effort driven for the moment.
Assign the supervisor at 12% - this represents him spending about 1/8 of his
workday doing whatever he does related to this task leaving him free for 7
hours a day to be elsewhere.

Another possibility. Resource 2 needs to be there to get resource 1 up and
running but then his work is done and resource 1 can continue on by himself
to finish the task. For illustration, figure it's going to take 1 hour to
get the worker doing the task up to speed. Enter the task, again with a 2
day duration and assign Resource 1 to it 100%. Split the screen. In the
bottom window assign Resource 2 with 1 hour of work, effort 100%. This
indicates when he's there he's there full-time but it is only for one hour
of the total task time. For that one hour he can't be anywhere else without
being overallocated but after that he's free to be assigned elsewhere. If
you really need to do it, the Resource Schedule form in the bottom window
would even allow you to specify just WHEN his one hour of work would occur.

Empty lines at end of schedule

Posted: 06 Oct 2004 12:49 PM PDT


Peggy,
Nothing comes to mind at the moment but you could try a brute force
approach. Select all the desired tasks and copy them to a new project.
Unless there is something funny going on with your printer settings,
there must be some extraneous data in the file that should be eliminated
with a copy/paste.

Or, here's another suggestion. Try saving the file as a Project database
and then opening it up again. Maybe during all the tweaking you did to
the file, some corruption crept in and this method might just help.

You might also try the MVP webpage at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - file bloat? - might be corruption

If no one else jumps in with other suggestions and neither of the above
helps, if you can, send me the file via e-mail and I'll take a look at
it. If it contains sensitive information I can provide you a macro that
will desensitize it or you can go to Jack Dahlgren's website (Jack is
another MVP) at: http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
and look for his "scrub" macro. It does basically the same thing. If you
send the file, be sure to zip it.

Hope this helps.

Steve -
Thanks for your insight. I misspoke when I said making changes
resulted in "incorrect" dates - what I meant was basically what you
said, that the changes result in different dates. They are 'incorrect'
in the sense that they don't agree with the original start/finish
dates, but I digress.

I'm about to try your baselining suggestion, and I appreciate the tip.

Trouble Installing Update

1. The Installer does not support updating an application in a location

2. The updater will only update the RTM version. You should check the
MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework and the applications should be 12.0.0
(071130) (European build numbers could be different)

3. If the updater fails or says it cannot find a version of Office that

4. Apply the latest Apple Combo updater. It will overwrite files that might

install of Office 2004 freezes at User Information screen

Posted: 10 Mar 2008 10:00 AM PDT

Hi Bob,

I'm pretty sure I currently don't have Test Drive installed. I had been running Office 2004 in Leopard (with Test Drive still installed) and then had a huge crash and had to wipe the hard disk and restore from Time Machine backup. After that, Office kept on freezing, so I used the Remove Office utility to remove all installations of Office. It's at that point that I tried, and failed, to reinstall it.

Now, though, the plot thickens! After reading your response, I tried to use Remove Office again, and it told me I didn't have permission to uninstall office, and that I should do it under the user that installed it. Since I WAS the user that installed it, I first checked that it's not installed under any other users (it's not) and then repaired permissions. But I'm still getting the same message when I run Remove Office. Ack! This is nuts.

The exact version of OS X I'm using is 10.5.2, and the install disk of Office 2004 I have says "MS Office 2004 Mac Pro (Office 2004 Mac Standard)", and the name of my school and "For Microsoft Licensed Campus and School Customers' Use Only" (this is a computer in a laboratory). Is there any other information that would help?

Thank you!!

Dear Community members, I need help with pre-printed letterhead paper.

 

I have a letterhead paper, which needs a 2 ½-inch top margin and 1 ½-bottom margin.  For the second and so forth pages, I need a 1-inch margin all over.

 

How can I set that in Word 2013?

 

Your help is very much appreciated.

Paste graphics

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 08:29 AM PDT

Vista - when I paste from the clipboard to Word (2007) the text is fine, but the grahics don't transfer. instead there is a large empty box where the graphics should be. ( No red X) Sometimes there is a small representation of the graphic with a jxx suffix. 

when my friend does this on a W7 computer it transfers correctly.

My goal is to use mail merge to forward weather maps and NOAA comentary to about 150 people

Any suggestions appreciated

office 365 Word won't let me type into a new document

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 02:07 AM PDT

I've had Office 365 for a while now and all was good.

However for the last four weeks, or so, I have not been able to type into a new Word document. If I try to the pc just pings at me and refuses to type. No other office programme is doing this. If I open an old document, or save a new document before typing, close it then open it I can type into it.

I have Win 8 and have only installed updates from windows and new video drivers since the problem began.

I have deleted the normal template and let it recreate one on opening, but the problem still exists.

Any suggestions?

Wrong language in Word

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 01:28 AM PDT

When ever I spell check a Word document particularly one started from my templates it uses the USA Spell checker!  I have set the option in Word to be using UK English.  I have even set Windows to be UK English.  Why it is still going to US English for Spell check I can't understand.  I also told it NOT to determine the language.  Trusting it to use UK English as I set in the options.  I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and Word 2010 professional.  I have looked at answers on the Internet and tried some of the changes but nothing seems to stop my documents going to US English rather than UK.  Can any one let me know how to really stop this?  Thanks.

date format

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 12:13 AM PDT

I am working in Word 2007 compatibility mode. I want the print date of a document to appear in the following format:

nth day of month year

The current code I have is { DATE \@ "d" \*Ordinal } day of { DATE \@ "MMMM yyyy"} which displays as 10th day of August 2013

I would like the th to appear in superscript and I would like the date to be the print date not the current date.  What should the code be in order to do that?

I should note that this is going into a template and I want merged documents based on this template to follow the same rule. 
Thanks.

Asterisk followed by numbers in footnotes

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 11:42 PM PDT

In a journal I'm editing the title of the article is footnoted with an asterisk and the footnote gives brief biographical details of the author. The next footnote starts with number 1 and the numbers are consecutive after that. Unfortunately some of the original Word versions of the articles start with number one after the title instead of an asterisk.

Is there an easy way to change that number one to an asterisk and have the footnote numbers starting at one after that? The only way I've found to do it is to put a continuous section break after the title and footnote 1 and using References, Footnotes, Number Format change the footnote 1 after the title to an asterisk and hit Restart each section. Then I go into the next section and select Number format 1,2,3.

Is there an easier way?

a) when I open a file, it will be no response for 1 min

c) when I start to type, it will no response for a while and sometimes I could type but letter did not show up immediately. 

Can anyone help me?

Word macros don't work when ugraded to 2010

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 03:38 PM PDT

I have numerous Word documents with a button on the bottom of each one that has a macro attached to it that opens an email addressed to an individual with certain parts of the email already filled out for the user.  All they have to do is click to send the email.

After upgrading from XP to 2010, none of the macros work.  I tried changing the settings to "Enable all macros" and "Trust access to the VBA Project Object Model", but the macros still do not work.  As a matter of fact, they don't even appear to still be there.

When I open the documents, they open in compatibility mode and then I tried clicking on "Convert", which seems like it should restore the macros, but it doesn't.

Can anyone offer suggestions, please?

The critical part isn't the storage but the hba/driver issue.

IMO best choice at the moment (concerning SAN), qlogic hba with
self-compiled qlogic provided (src) driver. It does redundant
multipathing directly through the driver saving you from using md
devices if you need mp and allows to rescan for new SAN LUNs
without rebooting.

Good luck

xterm/konsole is much better then a virtual terminal since it's

virtual terminals should be used only when necessary (disaster recovery,
initial installation, machine with little RAM/CPU).
 

Doesn't exist. X is totally different from a virtual terminal.

appears to use resistor packs for termination. Check that these are
in place, and if you have any other devices on the same cable, make sure
they come before the tape drive and are not themselves terminated.

If the tape drive doesn't have the terminators, put another deive after it
on the cable and ternminate that device. Or add a simple passive
terminator to the cable.

then make sure it's not mounted:

next format your swap partition with:

activate your swap partition:
swapon /dev/hda2

The installation of the codecs is very easy: Create a directory /usr/lib/bin32
and unpack all the codecs into this directory.

The next time you you start xine or mplayer, they will both support many many
codecs including windows codecs, realplayer, quicktime and and and.

The installation of xine and mplayer is a little tricky but there are good
chances that your distributor provides packages for one of those players.

xine has the advantage, that it has a fine userinterface, mplayer is more stable

Trouble creating root filesystem on 1.44MB diskette

"Peter T. Breuer" <it.uc3m.es> wrote in message
news:it.uc3m.es... 

HALLELUJAH!! I did indeed have support built in. The whole problem it turns
out was that in my syslinux.cfg file, I only had:
default linux
append root=/dev/fd0

It turns out I needed to also have: load_ramdisk=1
!!

Is using rdev and a bootloader mutually exclusive? When I created the image
to go on the disk, the 'make bzdisk' also did a syslinux for me. I hadn't
realized it at the time (and I was reading the steps from an old book) and
so I also did an rdev on it: 49152, but that ruined the disk. Then I read
that rdev is obsolete and I should use either syslinux or lilo. (Syslinux
was already on the disk).
Another step I tried was removing the syslinux and then just dd'ing the
bootimage onto the disk and then doing rdev. But upon booting the system, I
got a message saying that this isn't supported anymore and that I need a
boot loader! So that was a dead-end.

So I'm just curious how I could have used rdev now...
I guess the next thing is to try a CD Rom.

Thanks for all your help! Now i know the dd command inside-out... whew. what
a workout!
