Hi Fei,

Your resource grapg probably sjhows Peak Units.
Right-Click in the graphical part and show either work or %allocation, that
will clarify.

How do I set up an annual GANT chart?

Hi Liz

did you post it to a general group - did you have any success with an
answer. Personally, i would use Excel for this type of thing - but you are
limited to 256 columns ... which means you can't quite do the whole year
:( - 2 sheets each with 6 months?

Earned Value re BCWP at Task and Resource Level

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 11:23 AM PST

In the tools, Options menu, Calculation tab, make sure the first item
"Updating task status updates resource status" is turned on. That option
sets or severs the link between % Complete and % Work Complete. It's
slightly misleading in its wording because it seems to imply it's a one-way
connection when in fact it's two-way. With it turned on, entering %
Complete also updates Actual Work and entering Actual Work updates %
Complete.

Resource vs. Task Dependency

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 10:49 AM PST

You can get much the same effect with resource calendars and the leveling
engine although it doesn't give you any graphical indication of a "link."
Task dependencies sequence tasks based on their logical relationships in the
project's physical processes. Resource dependencies sequence tasks based on
the availability of the resources required to do the work. How does that
differ from Project's present method of leveling to sequence tasks to
resolve overallocations, coupled with using task priorities to establish a
preferred after-leveling order and the behavior of the resource calendar
governing what time periods in which it is possible for the task to occur?
As far as I know, "resource dependencies" allow the PM to say "I want Joe to
do tasks A and B and since I already know he's not going to be able to do
both of them at the same time, I sequence them with a link." But that's
just doing manually what leveling does for you.

I don't know if I read you correctly, but provided you don't want to assign
them by name, you could call them, say, workers. Then in the Resource Sheet
view, double-click workers to bring up the Resource Information dialog. In
the General tab, you can create a profile of how many resources there are in
this group by changing the Units % and the date when the change takes place.

Hi Steve

i can't replicate it either in a new file - but the problem was on a big
project file that was heading towards total corruption .... and it had heaps
of sub-tasks that were successors to their summary tasks - i looked at the
printout prior to these problems occuring and these tasks where not
sub-tasks of the summary tasks at that stage .. they then got moved around
..... and this was the start of the problems with the file ... another
problem with this file was the summary task's durations were not calculating
correctly and every time you did anything in the file you got a circular

(luckily we resuced the file and all is well now)

Phased EMail from CRM?

Posted: 16 Aug 2004 02:49 PM PDT

For WorkFlow, what you do is assign a "on create" WF to wait for the custom
field to change to 1. When it does, send out a particular email template.
Then, tell it to wait 2 days, then send out the next. And so forth.

For post callout, you would create a COM object to handle the fact that the
field has been updated to 1 and then pass the information to another
application (a more sophisticated email application perhaps) that will
perform the actual sending.

you may have it set up so they can

User license vs. Server license

Posted: 13 Aug 2004 08:24 AM PDT

Arni,

You can add a Service license to a Sales only install. In reality, the "Server"
license doesn't actually generate a key, the keys are only for the user
licenses. So, there isn't a need to do a "new" install in this case.

Hi Matt, and thank you for your reply

But it still doesn't quite solve my case. I understand that for
Service functionality I need Service Server license. But the case I'm
wondering about is that if a customer already has a MS CRM deployment
that only contains Sales Server license and want to "upgrade to" Sales
and Service Server license.

For my best knowledge you can't upgrade Server license e.g. start with
Sales server license and then later on add the Service license... can
you?? So if I'm right you would have to set up a new deployment with
Sales and Server license. And then my question is, can I use the user
license already purchased for the first deployment or would one have
to buy them all over again.

If you can't move user license between server deployments, one would
really have to be quite sure that Service functionality will never be
needed before deciding to deploy only Sales server license.

Kind regards

Global Catalog with Exchange - Microsoft Exchange

Global Catalog with Exchange

The Directory Access tab shows the two GC's, DC A and DC B. So, they are
there are detected by the system. The ability to add/remove servers are
greyed out, although if I switch to show "Global Catalog Servers", the
display does allow me to check/uncheck "Automatically discover servers"
(which it is checked already). Just for some reason, it looks to DC A for GC
services. Now, for my testing, I've just been literally "pulling the plug"
on DC A (removing cat-5 cable). What if I do an actual shutdown to DC A?
Will that send a signal to the other domain controllers that it is going
down, and that DC B should now take on the GC services for the domain. Or do
I have to demote the server to fully relinquish it from GC services?

thanks again for the help!

GFI Mail Essential

Posted: 16 Oct 2005 06:53 PM PDT

The options that it has are great and it will catch a huge amount of junk if
configured correctly. I suggest running it using the "SPAM" tag for a few
weeks and tell your users to forward any emails tagged as "SPAM" to you so
you can adjust the safe senders list or filtering. Also use the reports to
see what is going on. Once you have a good configrunning change the "SPAM"
to either delete if you feel real good about your config or drop all the
"SPAM" into a public folder and tell users if they are missing an email they
think should have been sent to check that folder (make sure to clean it out
once a month).

On average I have seen sites that said spam was not a problem show me with
GFI reports that the total amount of spam was actually as much as 50% of all
emails.

RPC/HTTPS config without being on domain or network

Posted: 15 Oct 2005 10:44 AM PDT

Certainly.

I did setup the profile using VPN in my home system where the system is
never part of my company domain and local network either. Once you are
able to resolve your mailbox with the server, disconnect the VPN and
then you are in RPC HTTP mode.

One note if you are setting up RPC HTTP in your company laptop -- Under
"Exchange proxy Settings", I cleared the check box for "On fast
networks, connect using HTTP first , then connect using TCP/IP" to
avoid your laptop using RPC HTTP mode when you are the office.

See couple of useful KB articles here -

Domain\Username - Outlook 2003 client

Well I believe it's allowing forms based authentication that takes that
feature of using domain\username out.

That is what we did.

In the exchange system manager, you navigate to Administrative Groups, First
Administrative group, select protocols, select HTTP. Right click Exchange
Virtual Server and select properties.

Then you select settings and check the box which says "Enable Forms Based
Authentication"

At least that is what we did on our Exchange 2003 server to get rid of the
need for the domain.

Hope that helps.

es2003 or active directory on main server

Posted: 11 Oct 2005 11:36 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your advice this far.

My biggest problem is I do not have Winbdows 2003. I got the ok for
Exchange 2003 with 25 CALs which has just come through.
We had one NT4 server and three four windows 2000 servers. I have basically
been told to use what servers we have due to cost.

Therefore I need the current es5.5 upgraded to 2003 on the same server it is
on.

Original Network

Server1 - NT4 PDC - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server2 - Win 2000 Server with Exchange 5.5 - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server3 - Win 2000 Server - File server - Dell dual p3 500Mhz
Server4 - Win 2000 Server - Dell dual p3 700Mhz (Original Exchange before
last upgrade)
Server5 - Win 2000 Server - Dell 3Ghz

Done so far

I have installed NT4 on Server5 with service pack6 as BDC, then promoted to
PDC.
Upgraded Server5 to Windows 2000 Server global catalogue, new domain in new
forest.
Tested ADC install on Server5 which passed all tests ok but did not
complete.

Desired outcome

Server2 - Win 2000 Server - Exchange 2003, OWA - Dell dual Xeon 2Ghz
Server5 - Win 2000 Server as Active Directory PDC and global catalogue -
Dell 3Ghz

I see two options

Migrate to Exchange 2000 first onto Server5 and then migrate back to Server2
as exchange 2003

Or

Install Exchange Server 2003 on Server5 joining the existing Exchange 5.5
site and use the move mailbox method.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=822942

- You can perform an in-place upgrade from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003;
however, an in-place upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2003 is
not supported.

To upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003, you must join
an Exchange 2003 computer to the Exchange 5.5 site, and then move Exchange
resources such as mailboxes to the Exchange 2003 computer. Use the Exchange
Server Deployment Tools to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.
Although Exchange 2000 did support in-place upgrades from Exchange 5.5,
moving the resources from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 is still the
recommended upgrade path.


I would prefer not to do an in place upgrade,

1 - the drive us partitioned too many times and I want to reformat first
2 - dont really trust the roll back options if anything goes wrong

I have done a lot of readin and there are numerous options. If you could
help advise which route is the best I am sure I will be fine fomr there.

Thanks again.
Jess

Instead a Click to run application manager box pop up saying Click 2 run configuration failure.....PLEASE HELP ME I need this to do my assignment. Thank you!

Rogue indents in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:43 PM PST

I've set the fisrt lines of paragraphs to indent via the Specials drop-down list, but I've found there are other lines within paragraphs that are also indented.

 

If I highlight the rogue indent and set it to "none" via the same drop-down list, it also removes the indent from the first line too! If I then reinstate the indent for the first line, the rogue indent returns too. AArrggh!

 

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but I've tried tabbing, backspacing etc, all to no avail. I'm working in final view without mark-up.

 

Any suggestions please?

Macrobutton Windows 8.1 touchscreen

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 10:50 AM PST

Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet with W8.1 and Word 2013. I cannot get macrobutton to run a macro by finger tapping or with standard stylus. Finger tap and standard stylus DO work on the ribbon and other tablet features. I have a Dell active (hover) stylus and it will activate the macrobutton with a tap. I have set the macrobutton to work with 1 or 2 taps and result is same. Is there a way to get the macrobutton to work with a finger tap or standard stylus? Thank you.

Small problem but quite bothersome

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 10:47 AM PST

When clicking my desktop MS word to open it opens fine but the blank page has some misc. words I can't get rid of.  A little while back I typed in some random letters to check a font.  Now every time I open the page with these letters opens.  I've deleted several times but still shows up when opening new.  Any suggestions would truly be appreciated.

Possible bug in Word 2007 and Word 2010: page 2 of 1

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 08:11 AM PST

I seem to have found a bug in Word 2010, which also seems to be present in 2007.

To reproduce:

  1. Create a new blank document.
  2. From the Insert ribbon, add a footer and add Page Number of style Page 1 of 1.
  3. Add enough blank lines to go on to the second page.
  4. From the Page Layout ribbon, Breaks, add a Section Break, Even Page.
  5. All is OK at this point - the first page is 1 of 2 and the second is 2 of 2.
  6. Delete the section break.

Now the bug appears. You can see that the first page is 2 of 2 and the second is 3 of 2. It looks as if deleting the section break has affected the PAGE field code.


For extra fun, highlight the page number, right-click and choose Format Page Numbers; then change the Start At value. You can make the first page 0 of 2 or 2 of 2, but you can't make it 1 of 2.


Does anyone know if this is can be fixed?

Table Position in Document Footer

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:55 AM PST

I am  using VBA to create MS Word 2010 documents from a template. In the template, I have one footer for the first page and a different footer for the subsequent pages. Each footer contains a table that has some cells with plain text and some cells with content controls. Everything is working fine, except that when I create the documents the footer tables have shifted to the right. I have tried different ways of creating the templates and positioning the tables, but every one has this problem (some more than others). One of the best results came from starting with a document created in Word 2000 and converting it into a template, but it still didn't work entirely (small shift to the right).

Ideally, I would like to start with a blank template and build the footer from scratch. The document body has a border around it, and I would like each table to be flush with the left, bottom, and right borders. It sounds simple enough, but I'm darned if I can figure out how to do it! Thank you very much for any help . . . .

Question about creating business logo

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 07:51 AM PST

Using Microsoft Word I created a business logo with word art, and boxes.  Now when I want to move the logo I have to move the outside box, then the logo, then the business name, and #.  How do I make the entire logo one object instead of different WordArt parts?  I would like to do this so I can copy and past the complete logo and make it smaller and bigger to post on documents.  Thanks for your help, sorry if the questions is kind of difficult to understand, I did not know a good way to describe it. 

header & footer security

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 06:52 AM PST

Hi All,

I have created a template and would like to have security on my template so that you can not go into the header and footer - so that all information can not be deleted or copied in this section.

 

I have done this by completing a fillable form, however this then restricts other parts of word:-

 

Such as

 

Review Tab

Insert/Clip Art

Shapes

Smart Art

Captions

Cross referencing

and a few more to mention,

 

Does anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

How to Replace Certain Characters at Start of Each Paragraph

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:52 AM PST

I need to replace certain characters at the beginning of each paragraph in manually-created numbered lists in Word such as "9.2 " with html code for open line item (<li>). I can't simply replace all instances of "9.2 " because there can be numbers in the body of the paragraph that should not be changed. Is there a way to do this? There will be lots of variations such as numbers followed by tabs, etc. but I have already written the code to do this, just don't know how to just make changes at the beginning of the paragraph. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Word 2010 indents lists when pasting

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 05:26 AM PST

In a template I use at work, whenever I paste from an outside source into a numbered list, the indent of the number I paste into gets shifted .5" to the right.  I have disabled Smart Paste and changed lots of the other paste settings, to no avail.  This template was originally created with Word 2003, but we are now using Word 2010.  Is it possible to correct this, or is it perhaps just one of those weird formatting quirks that happens from version to version?

Thanks.

Office 2010 Hyperlinks and Active Directory Authentication for Internet Access

Posted: 06 Dec 2013 02:11 AM PST

Hi everyone,

I work in an Education Environment, and we use Web Filtering based on Active Directory groupings to block or allow certain websites for Staff and Students.  For unauthenticated access, such as people using Smartphones or Tablets, we also have a list of blocked sites.  (This list is, understandably, the strictest.)

It's recently come to our attention that hyperlinks within Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 are responding with "Unable to open <URL>. Cannot download the information you requested".  This happens to any users for whom a website is on their specific allowed list, but would otherwise be blocked for unauthenticated users.

For example, YouTube is blocked by default, but in many establishments is allowed for staff.  If a member of staff types youtube.com into the address bar in IE, it works.  If they type youtube.com into Word 2010 and click on the hyperlink that's generated, it fails with the above message.  This is not how we want our system to work.

In another example, if a website is usually allowed, but blocked for a member of staff, and that person types the URL into Word and clicks on it, an IE Window opens, but then displays our "Website Blocked" message.  This *is* how we want our system to work.

So the question is, how do we get Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2010 hyperlinks to stop sending unauthenticated requests to the website in question, and returning an error if it cannot download the information, but rather open IE by default and *then* either display the website, or a blocked message?

Thanks,
Tim.

EDIT:  I undestand HLINK.DLL and URLMON.DLL might have something to do with it, but I don't know what.

Bottom border to a single cell in a word table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:45 PM PST

Hello,

I can't seem to get a bottom border isolated to one cell once I've split the cell into two. Top border only works, as does left and right only, but bottom border does not work... it creates a bottom border under all cells in the row. Any ideas?


I tried to apply a bottom border to the right cell and this is what it does. It'll work on the left cell fine but not the right. If you split the cell into even more columns you can create a bottom border for each cell independently except the right most which will create a bottom border for all cells in that row.

Thanks for your help

Reassign the location where files are saved in Office 2010

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 08:22 PM PST

I  am running Windows 8.1.  My C drive is a SSD and I have a HDD as my data drive.  My intent is to only store program files on the SSD and save all the data files on the HDD.  I see the file  - options -save - dialog box where the default setting point to my C drive.  I suspect this is where I need to change to my HDD path.  Is this correct?  Do I need to create the folders listed in the default path or can I shorten it to the HDD drive designation (E)?  I want to do this to all the programs in Office 2010.  I suspect it will probably have to be done for each program.  Thanks!

VBA to Replace Number in All Numbered Lists in Table

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 06:04 PM PST

I am trying to use VBA to replace the number (or bullet) in all numbered lists in a table with html. The following code works great for doing this in a non-table environment but only works on the first cell in tables. I imagine it has something to do with the "paragraph" parameter but can't figure out how to change it. Thanks in advance for your help (my code follows):

 

Sub Replace_All_Numbered_Lists_In_Selection_With_Open_LI()      
    Dim oPara As Paragraph
    Dim r As Range
    For Each oPara In Selection.Paragraphs()
        Set r = oPara.Range
       If r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListSimpleNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListBullet Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListListNumOnly Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListMixedNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListOutlineNumbering Or r.ListFormat.ListType = wdListPictureBullet Then
            r.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers _
            NumberType:=wdNumberParagraph
            r.InsertBefore Text:="<li>"
        End If
        Set r = Nothing
    Next
End Sub

What reasons make different Line spacing between "exact" and "atleast"?

Posted: 05 Dec 2013 05:28 PM PST

Hi.

I just wondering line spacing rules.

I asked,

when I use "atLeast" in <w:spacing w:after="0" w:line="300" w:lineRule="atLeast"/>
the paragraph borders, the box around the paragraph, is higher than when "exact".

MS said,

" The difference can be even a little better seen if space="0" is used in the top and bottom elements in pBdr. 

The Word 2013 behavior is in compliance with ISO standard, 17.3.1.33 says "atLeast (Minimum Line Height) Specifies that the height of the line shall be at least the value specified, but might be expanded to fit its content as needed." "

I want to know what algorithm make different between them.

Please, let me know.

Have a great day.
