How do I prevent overallocation of a resource for tasks < 0.5day

Posted: 22 Nov 2004 08:45 AM PST

Hi Jonathan,

You must have Automatic leveling on with the day as granularity.
When you have the two tasks leveling will not see any overallocation on the
day because there is nout more tahn a day's work.
The 200% peak units only exist in the morning.
A third task will create an overallocation and leveling will push it into
the next day.

You can avoid this by taking a lower granularity in Leveling (hour or
minute)
My advice on top of that is that you read all about leveling especially when
you have automatic leveling in.

Hi

Mike Glen in his tutorial on Project uses the stoplight concept in relation
to costs...
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=403

and here's a formula i developed in response to another post on a similar
question
IIf([% Complete]<>"100",IIf([Finish]-[Baseline Finish]>7,"over
week",IIf([Finish]-[Baseline Finish]<=0,"on target","week")),"NA")

which compares (and returns text) based on the difference between finish &
baseline finish. You can use the text outputted by this formula (modified
to what you want) to link to the graphical indicators.

see how you go with this and if you require further assistance, please feel
free to post back.

Problem about Font Formatting (Project 2003)

Hi raduga_fb ,

It sounds as though something is corrupt. We need to discover whether your

PC. Does the symptom occur with other projects on this PC? Does it occur

Project 2000 Large Format Printing

Posted: 19 Nov 2004 03:01 PM PST

it sounds to me as if the gantt chart to be displayed is "naturally" about
11 pages wide, by 0.5 page high.

This is quite common - the width is dictated by the column widths + the
gantt timescale, while the height is dictated by the number of tasks & the
fonts used.

When you select "fit to 1 page tall by 1 wide", MSProject simply scales the
chart to fit on the page. In your case, this means that the chart will be
about 1/11th the original size (to fit the 11 pages wide onto a single
page). Project keeps the height+width in proportion, so the height will also
be scaled to 1/11th its original size - that's why it ends up about 1/22nd
page height.

The main thing you can do is to adjust the timescale of the gantt to be more
compact or show less time, that way the chart will have width-to-height
proportions more like your paper proportions, so any scaling will be more
likely to fill the entire page (even if its been scaled so much that text is
unreadable).

Hope this helps

Those who know can't tell.

However, looking at history you can see some pattern of release history for
Project and Office in general. At least since 2000 they have been released
on similar schedules.

You can also expect Project to follow the GUI changes which Office uses. As
for actual scheduling features, you will have to wait until they make some
sort of public announcement.

How to export a MS project 2000 into MS project 95?

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 06:13 PM PST


Urgotera,
Gerard already provided the answer but if you do not have Project 98 I
will translate the file for you. If you would like me to do that, zip
the Project 2000 file and send it to me via e-mail. If it is not corrupt
I will translate so that Project 4.x (i.e. Project 95/97) can open it.
Keep in mind however that some data may be lost since Project 2000 has
more fields and features than the older versions.

Opening Project Server projects

Posted: 18 Nov 2004 02:50 PM PST

Steve --

If your Project Server administrator has set permissions to allow you to
publish non-enterprise projects, then yes, the projects will be visible in
PWA and you can see the data in the MSP_WEB_PROJECTS table. However, you
cannot see the projects in the Open from Project Server dialog because you
never SAVED the projects in the Project Server database. You have started
down the wrong path with this tool, my friend. The correct process for
using Project Server is:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with Project Manager
permissions or higher
2. Create a project
3. Click File - Save and save the project in the Project Server database
4. Publish the project using Collaborate - Publish - All Information

If you follow the above steps, you can see the project in both Microsoft
Project and PWA. To correct your problem, I would recommend that you ask
your Project Server administrator to delete any non-enterprise projects from
the Project Server database, and also disallow the permission to publish
non-enterprise projects. Next, I would recommend that you follow these
steps:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with Project Manager
permissions or higher
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Import Project to Enterprise
3. Using the Import Project wizard, locate the first .mpp project and
import it into the Project Server database
4. Pay special attention to the page on matching local resources with
enterprise resources
5. Repeat this process for every .mpp project

To answer your last question, you open the Enterprise Global and Enterprise
Resource Pool by doing the following:

1. Open Microsoft Project and log into Project Server with administrator
permissions
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options
3. Select either Open Enterprise Global or Open Enterprise Resource Pool

Because of your foundational misunderstandings about Project Server, I would
recommend that you consider purchasing our company's books on Project Server
2003 by clicking the URL in my signature block. Hope this helps.

Now you say that more people are not receiving messages from domain 1?

I'd have a check on domain 2 to make sure that Jane Doe didn't get

Our Exchange server is windows 2003 with exchange 2003 pack 1. We have it out
on the DMZ so that our employees can access it through the web. The only port
we have open to it is 80. It is not a domain controller, just an exchange
server. If I were to cut the connection to a domain controller for even 30
seconds, we would have to reboot in order for the exchange services to
restart. Is that normal ?

Hi Fred,
I assume you got the answer to your issue.I swa your post and thought you
would be the right person to suggest me some tips on my migration.
By chance on some terms i am in the same environment exchange 5.5+ exchange
2003 and about to go for move mailbox for mailbox migration. I have tested
this scenario in the test lab and things are working.I need to aks your
advice on a couple of things,
I read somewhere that after ADC synchs the AD and Exchange databases and you
move some mailboxes over to the new exchange server, to have mail going
smoothly between the migrated ones and the ones which are still on 5.5
server.you have to tweak in ADC connection to create contacts/external email
addresses on 5.5 for the migrated mailboxes? please advice

Secondly,
If you wanna share any tips which i should be keeping in mind during the
move would be Greatly appreciated.
thanks

Removing last Exchange 5.5 server.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 07:24 PM PDT

Mark, Thanks for your help but I still don't have the answers I'm looking for.

The SRS server will be phased out. The only reason it was installed on a
separate server was because the ADC can't run on a server that is a member of
the cluster.

KB152960 states the following:

Changing the Routing Calculation Server

The routing calculation server is defined on the Site Addressing object for
each site. If you fail to define a new server after deleting the routing
calculation server, Exchange will automatically discover the problem and
select another server, but this may take several hours or longer. In the
meantime, routing information may become out of date.

This is the reason why we have to choose a Routing Calculation Server
ourselves as we can’t afford to be down for “several hours”

When we choose the Exchange 5.5 Site Addressing to assign the roll to a
different server is shows all servers, including the Virtual Servers from the
Cluster.

So my question still remains:
Which would be the best choice for transferring the Site Addressing to:
A Front-end server, a Back-end server? They both have an option to configure
the Recipient Policy (Which I believe takes the place ot the Exchange 5.5
Site Addressing)

As for the second question:
Which would be the best server for the Routing Master Roll:
A Front-end server, a Back-end server? They both can be the Routing Master.

I hope you can answer these two questions for me.

Thanks
Hans

Microsoft Works - Message Rules

Microsoft Works - Message Rules

Message Rules

Posted: 02 Jan 2006 10:47 PM PST

The most common cause of rules not working properly is due to a
misunderstanding of how rules work. When a message first arrives, it is
checked against the first rule in the list, then the second, then the third,
etc. until it encounters the end of the list or the Action "stop processing
more rules". This means that a message may be a hit for more than one rule!
Not only that, a rule may specify more than one action (except those actions
which stop the message from being downloaded at all). OE4 stopped processing
rules automatically as soon as a message was a hit. If you install OE as an
upgrade and select to import rules, many of your rules will stop working
until you add "stop processing more rules" to the list of Actions in that
rule.

If you use a rule that moves a message to another folder, that rule must
include "stop processing more rules" in order for the move to occur. Without
the stop action, the message is checked against the rule, found to be a hit,
but then is checked against all following rules. In order to be tested
against rules, the message must remain in the Inbox, and so the desired move
never occurs.

Another consideration is the order in which rules appear in the list. If a
rule does not work, it is often a simple matter of moving the rule higher so
that it is processed before other rules.

Using AND conditions instead of OR conditions is another common mistake. For
example, suppose you want to prevent mail from friends from being processed
by anti-spam rules (using rules to filter IN valid mail instead of trying to
filter OUT junk mail). If your rule reads

Where the From line contains 'friend1' and 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

then your rule will never do anything at all because it is not possible for
a mail message to have BOTH 'friend1' AND 'friend2' in the From line. The
rule should read

Where the From line contains 'friend1' or 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

To switch between AND and OR in a condition, click on the blue underlined
string to open the Add dialogue. After you have entered at least one item,
the Options button will be available. Click that to select whether the
conditions uses AND or OR. This is also where you can specify whether the
rules applies when the string IS or IS NOT.

Your best option is to buy a retail version of software that
you want to have. You can buy at a retail store or on-line.
WORKS version number (x) can be found on store shelves or
any version can often be found on-line. It does not include
Microsoft WORD or other OFFICE applications. It is designed
for basic home and school work at the grade or high school
level and small office functions with just a basic flat file
database and spreadsheet.
WORKS SUITE includes a selection of software, including WORD
in addition to the WORKS word processor.
You can get various versions of OFFICE or just the parts
such as WORD or EXCEL.
There are student discounts and you can buy some hardware
piece and also an OEM version which once installed is not
licensed to me moved to another machine.

Borrowing your friends software is not approved procedure.

If you are running ME, you may need to have some additional
files to get an install...and WORD will not install without
the proper version of WORKS installed or without an OFFICE
program already installed. The exact error message would be
helpful.

"Vista" is waiting in the wings to enter front stage!
Hope I don't buy a Vista CD box and let that go past its "use by date".

How about MS calls the next OS following Vista, "Panorama" for all the
widescreen monitor folks, that are now using aspect ratio 2.35:1 Cinema
Widescreen on 81-122cm monitors which is wider than standard digital TV at
aspect ratio of 16:9 (1.77:1)

Don't forget that a lot of Apples are now displaying at 2.35:1 on supersized

I would really like to see MS blow the HD WS PC TV Apples folks out of the

Microsoft Word - Avery 5160 in Office 365

Avery 5160 in Office 365

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 02:39 PM PDT

I am using Microsoft Word installed with Office 365, and am trying to create labels using Avery Templates. The current app does not have a template for 5160, and when I search for additional templates in the Office store it says "You already have this app". I am going to have to switch to another computer running an earlier version of Windows for now, but for later use, where do I find an Avery template for 5160.

Windows are becoming invisible when using Office 365.

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 02:05 PM PDT

I've noticed a disturbing trend. When I go to sleep on my computer, and then reboot it, or even when I've just been using it a long time and still have various windows open, even when I am not using them, something happens. I go to click open the window of the word document that is minimized, and nothing comes up. I go to check the preview images in the windows (multiple) and will see that most or all of the document windows are now transparent. It appears as though the only solution, that I've found, has been to shut down word entirely and try to open them up again. You can understand how this might be frustrating, especially  when you minimized the window to do some research and are still using the document with its new changes, and now you try to close it and you can't tell how to save, because the whole thing is transparent/invisible. Any advice?

Button in Word 2010 Documents that Returns Reader to Reference Link they Last Clicked

I am aware of the Back (WebGoBack) button that can be added to the Quick Access Menu. What I need is to create a button next to a figure that allows the reader to click the button and be returned to the last reference link they clicked that brought them to that figure.I would prefer it only require one click and that the button is labeled, "Return to Text".

Word Template Format for filling in fields

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:55 AM PDT

I am new to the whole template thing.  I need to set up a template that will be filled in over time.  The fields get completed as the client moves through the lifecycle.  How do I set up a template where when you go to fill in fields you see the whole template and can tab from field to field?  Right now when I open it, it only displays one field at a time, which will not work for this application.

help with word processor

Folks help:

 

Every computer I owned had the free word processor in it.  I just bought this computer which has windows 8 and I cannot find anywhere where I can type a letter.  I have no use for buying their Office Program.  I am 60 years old so there is no need for me to put out money for their program.  Can someone advise me as to where to find the free word processor? Thanks for your time and kind consideration.  Mary

When I highlight a section of a text to change color or size etc. for the particular highlighted section it changes the whole text

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:08 AM PDT

When I highlight a section of a text to change color or size etc. for the particular highlighted section it changes the whole text what I wanted only apply to the highlighted section.

By clicking the "Undo" it changes back the unwanted changes to the remaining text, but not always and all. For example if I change the color, the size and underline the highlighted text and it does to the whole text, when I hit the Undo button it still leave the whole text underlined.

Any suggestion would be appreciated to fix this!

Setting AND KEEPING proofing language in Word 2013

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:07 AM PDT

I use a lot of quotes from German, French, Latin and occasionally other languages in my book-length documents.  I love the fact that Word is very good at recognizing German and French, but it seems as soon as you move on to something else it forgets and the proofed foreign words show up with the red line under them.   It seems to happen in different situations, but I can figure it out. When I reformat, for example, the proofing language for German or French will move, so that English words are then underlined.  Is there a way to prevent this?

Word 2013 pages missing

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:26 AM PDT

Hi,

I just bought office 365. It is installed on a laptop with Windows 7 (64bits, professional).

I have a working word document (currently of  186 pages) created with word 2008 mac. When I open this docx in either word 2007 or word 2008 (mac) or word 2010, everything is fine. 

The problem: When I open the docx in word 2013, only the first 13 pages can be worked on/seen. However, when I go to page preview, all pages can be seen. Moreover, all sections of the document can be seen in the navigation pane, but when I click on a section further than page 13, they can't be access. 

The document contains endnote references, a table of contents and normal text. 

Word 2013 doesn't send any error messages.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred

Unable to open a hyperlink for Powerpoint file in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Hello,

 

Hope someone can help me.  I have created a Word document 2010.  I inserted a hyperlink that should open a PowerPoint presentation file (.pptx).  When I click the link, it displayed a message window advising me the file can contain viruses...would you like to open this file?  When I click OK, it attempts to open the PowerPoint presentation file but then an error message comes up "Could not open file and give name of url'.  However, if I copy the URL and paste it into IE9 address bar, it opens PowerPoint presentation without any issues.  The file is hosted on our company Intranet website.  I also create hyperlinks within this Word document to go to certain websites and these links work fine.  Its just the PowerPoint link that cannot be launched.

 

Any guidance or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Automatic Numbering Of Equations in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:19 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am wondering if there is an option to automatically number equations in Word 2010. So basically everytime a new equation is inserted, Word will automatically generate a number for the equation based on the next available equation number

Trouble with template margins - need confirmation if doing correctly

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Hi all,

I am looking for a bit of "confirmation" here so I don't goof up a 2nd time - I just went through the updating of a company's few hundred templates in prep for them moving to a new letterhead.  Because of the sheer number of templates, I wrote a macro to open them all up and swap in the new header/footer text and to set the new margins.

The header has a lot of partners names (law firm) and so it takes up a lot of space (about 2").  So my snippet of code did this to every doc:

With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
   
    .TopMargin = InchesToPoints(2.05)
    .BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(1.6)
    .LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .HeaderDistance = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .FooterDistance = InchesToPoints(0.81)
    .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True

End with

We did the cutover last night.  Someone just brought me a sample of a 2 pg letter and they said "looks good - how come the 2nd page has so much white space at the top" (the 2nd page is different - it needs more like 1.5" to accomodate the logo without all the partners names).  Unfortunately, no one noticed this when I gave them sample printouts of the new templates.

Playing with the settings, it looks like what I should be doing is setting the .TopMargin to the minimum needed for all pages and then the first page header will "grow" up to the 2" it needs because it contains that much text?  Just want to confirm before I spend another whole evening (and their $$$) to convert all the templates again.

Note that they used to use Section Breaks set up by a previous IT guy and those caused lots of grief - so don't want to use them to set margins differently between the first and 2nd pages.

Thanks a lot for any advice/confirmations
Albert Gostick

Numbering problems

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 08:12 AM PDT

When I change a line of text to a numbered line, it will change the preceding line to numbered also. Using the undo once will change the preceding line back to plain text, but not the line I wanted to change to numbered originally. This is what I want, but why must I go through these extra steps to get it?

Missing Elements

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:18 AM PDT

Inserting Multi-line text field quick part from SharePoint Crashes Word

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

Title pretty much sums it up. Working on a doc template for a library, have a bunch of quick parts already inserted for various columns of the content type.
If I add a multi-line text field, it will crash Word. I've tried to see if it's the "unlimited length" switch in the column settings, but that had no effect. I tried inserting any of these fields into a plain blank doc, and it crashes Word as well, so I don't think it's a cumulative effect of adding a lot of fields from SharePoint to the doc. So...anyone know if this is a known issue or something?

Insering check boxes that can be checked with a click

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

I am trying to create a check box in Word that can be checked (marked with an x would be preferred) by simply clicking on the box.

I went to the Developer ribbon, and looked at the Control section. I see an icon for a checkbox, but it is greyed out. I have something that I can click on, that says something like "legacy controls." That will let me insert a check box, but I can't insert anything inside the box.

Using the instructions here (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/make-a-checklist-in-word-HA101833107.aspx), I can hover over the Check Box Content Control, but it is greyed out and nothing happens.

Suggestions?

Preview templates in word 2013

When you want to use a template in Word 2013 you can get a preview of the built-in templates. Is it possible to get a preview of the ones you create yourself?

Very slow response, then Program crashed

I was typing Avery address labels (the same ones I had worked on earlier in the week - 8162) and when I clicked the Print Preview button a message came on saying something about noncompatibility (I think).  At that point I probably clicked the wrong button between yes and no, and now I can't bring Word up at all.

Documents opened in Compatibility Mode become corrupted when saved back to older version.

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:57 AM PDT

Hello, 
I have a file sent to me that was created in an older version of Word.

It opens in Compatibility Mode and I can edit it, add comments, etc. 

However if I save it back to the older version of Word (pre DOCX format), with or without edits, it freezes/crashes Word when opened again and cannot be edited. 

If I save it as a DOCX  then I can open and edit it. But since I am collaborating with a user who uses an older version of Word this is not a option.

Why is Word breaking the file when saving back to the save version? 

Thanks!

Way to get Word to have 1.15 as the default for multiple spacing

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:19 AM PDT

I often like to use the Multiple spacing option in Word, and I like the 1.15 option. It's not nearly as crowded as 1.0, but still conserves space on the paper.

Is there a way to get 1.15 to be the default value for Mulitiple? Every time I set it to Multiple, the value is 3.0 and I have to change it manually.

I do have my default style set to 1.15, but I'd like this additional change as well.

Help with Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 12:42 AM PDT

I am trying to open my documents which were saved on Microsoft Word, but I cannot do this unless I buy or activate Microsoft Office 2010. I can open Microsoft Word and write documents, but when I save them and try to open them, I can only do so with Microsoft Office. I also can't choose Microsoft Word as a default program to open documents because it is not listed there. I just want
to save and open all my documents with Microsoft Word again. Thanks.

*Update: I restored my computer to a previous date, and I can now use Microsoft Word again. Does anyone know why I couldn't access it before? I don't understand. Thanks again.

VBA to add alternative text to table

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:03 PM PDT

VBA has an obvious way to add alt text to an image (shape):

    xShape.AlternativeText = "test"

I don't see a similar method for adding alt text to a table -- even though the relevant spot for this (a tab in the Table Properties dialog) looks much like the pre-2010 tab for alt text on an image.

Is there a property or method that does this?

Cannot open files in Word or Excel

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 07:25 PM PDT

This is a recent problem. Never has happened before. When I try to open a file within Word or Excel, the folders show, but no files, even with the file type filter set to "All Files."  I can see drives and folders on the left side of the box, but no file list comes up in the main part of the box.  Sometimes I get the spinning-circle busy signal, and it just keeps cranking.  No problem opening files in the "Recent Documents" list. No problem opening files outside Word or Excel by double-clicking on the filename.  I have Office 2007 Enterprise with Windows 7 Home Premium.

TOC chaos

Word Unilaterally Changing (Eliminates) My Normal Margins

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 05:32 PM PDT

Roughly once a year, when I try to create a new document, I find that Word has changed my margins and eliminated them, and I spazz around trying to reset them to normal; it occupies so much of my time; clicking on Normal Margins in Page Layout does not address it ; each time I go online trying to address the issue and waste time; this is so frustrating
