Works 4.5 crash on file load

Posted: 21 Aug 2007 07:18 PM PDT

Zippy24oz,
I remember that the XP SP2 upgrade changed something that prevented the
following keys to work properly in your PC. This was done as a security fix.
The only way that I have been able to make Older versions of Works and
Office, that came out before the SP2 upgrade, to work. Is to disable the
following keys, by altering the name of the following keys:

You will need to Press START button> Run> Type: regedit> Edit on Toolbar>
Find> Search for the following keys.

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options\htmlmarq.ocx

Changed name to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\oldhtmlmarq.ocx

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image
File Execution Options\htmlmm.ocx

Changed name to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution Options\oldhtmlmm.ocx

See the following article:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10995560~mode=flat~days=10~start=300

You may need to do a "Repair installation" of Works 4.5

Thanks for responding David. I tried the patch today, no change. Well, I
haven't checked the SS date stuff. If I'm in the 2K years for a change that

I think you can build up quite a good picture based on what someone says

I explained that one, but I don't mind explaining it again (you don't
mind having it explained again to you, do you now?). The reason my
"symptoms" are such a perfect fit to the textbook is because the people
causing the campaign "fitted me up" in such a way that what they did
would resemble the symptoms of schizophrenia. Hence TV, radio, other
media, people in the streets etc. By a fortunate coincidence (for them)
these mthods of harassment are the ones which offer easiest channels of
access (for them).

It's really quite neat. All it takes is for people to start believing
that the "symptoms" aren't symptoms but reality, though, and the house of
cards collapses in a heap. And there are _lots_ of people now who knoiw
full well what has gone on.

: context-free parts of articles, conversations and things-on-the-TV and
: assume they are meant for you. Mike, this is called paranoia.

But that's the way real abuse works, too. People interject words and
phrases into what they say which they know will have meaning for the listener.

And sometimes, they make it obvious. The very first evening of my job in
Oxford, we went for a drink with the technical director, and a couple
of other employees. The TD said in an "as-if" aside to one of the others,
"Is this the bloke who's been on TV?" (he said it directly in front of
me, and obviously meant mke to hear him saying it). The other person
replied, "Yes, I think so".

I think the subtext of what the TD said was "Why are they bothering with
him? He's so insignificant, why would they possibly want to spend the
resources going after him and putting all that expensive technology in
his home, when there must be much better targets?". The Technical
Director was given to sometimes disrespecting people, you see, and in my
case he couldn't see the point of anyone expending money on harassing me.

episode) and is a routine tool of security agencies.

Perhaps what is unprecedented is not the technical side, but the social
manipulation of many people by a concealed element in what other
countries would be called the secret police. The most disturbing element
is the degree to which people allow themselves to be unquestioningly
manipulated by an evil element within the state.

Cannot add SMTP e-mail address to user

Posted: 29 Nov 2005 03:00 PM PST

A very easy way to do this is to go to AD Users & Computers, right-click on
your Domain | Find | change the Find drop-down to "Custom Search" (you could
also change the "IN" drop-down to "Entire Directory" if you have more than 1
domains) | go to Advanced tab | type
"(proxyAddresses=smtp:com)".

This will give you the object - of any type (user, group, contact, public
folders... ) - that has that email address.

No, the search is NOT case-sensitive, though email addresses (local-part)
are case sensitive according to RFCs (but not all MTAs treat them as such).

Moving X2K3 from W2K server to W2K3 server

At least you found the answer in the end.
Hope it helps.

Posted: 28 Nov 2005 10:59 AM PST

i was looking at the information on your domain name, thinking somehow maybe
the webminders name was setup for secondary mail server, but it doesn't look
like it is with the same company.

yes it would explain why you can send mail and not receive
on the outside, there is a pointer for your email, but it's pointing in the
wrong direction
if your exchange server is named (for example) mail.dgbco.com then an mx
record needs to replace the webminders address with mail.dgbco.com with your
exchange server's ip
being able to telnet on 25 to your server is good to know it's working.
when someone on the outside sends you mail, it checks dns for the mx record
for your domain, which currently is mx.webminders.com so it attempts to
deliver the mail there; the other end doesn't know about your mail server.
changing the mx record to your mail server will allow mail to go to you.

this should explain it more

Restore Exchange 200 "Unable to create log path" message

Posted: 28 Nov 2005 09:29 AM PST

Okay - further developments. The DB's had never been created on the restore
server, so I mounted them to create blank DB's, then dismounted and made sure
the "overwrite with a restore" was checked. I can restore all DB's except for
the MAILBOX STORE which returns another error, however as this DB has no
mailboxes am I right not to be concerned about restoring this? We're doing
this exercise to ensure we have a relativley up to date Exchange Server in
the event of our production server failing, and also to test DR plans.

I thought you had Standard Exchange Server. Well, in your case this should
work. I have not had any issues with Activesync with Treos on the SBS. Do
you a Root Certificate from Verisign or such? This should work for you so I
am little confused now. Just for kicks, try leaving SSL enabled and disable
Forms Authentication. Also check your Event Viewer for any related
Activesync errors when this happens.

Word 2010 and 8.1

Suddenly files have been reformatted in my Word 2010 (running 8.1). These files have looked the same through countless pcs, emails, operating systems.

What happened and how do I fix it?

Smooth scrolling

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 12:15 PM PST

Re: Office 365 smooth scrolling issue


Win 7 Pro 64 Bit
16 GB RAM
Office 365
Logitech G500 mouse with standard gaming software


Mouse set to scroll 6 lines a time.

In Word and Outlook (only parts of Office I use a lot), smooth scrolling does not work. Each "click" of wheel moves 6 lines, but in a "jerky" fashion. Note that this does not happen in applications like Firefox or Chrome.

The solution is NOT to decrease the number of lines per click, I wish to keep it on that setting.

Chrome used to have the same problem, and they eventually fixed it.

I'm sure that this issue is pretty far down on the bug list, but it is pretty annoying....

Smooth scrolling in Office would add some shine to a pretty product.

Word 2010 duplicates text in table on its own

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 12:05 PM PST

In a Word table there are several instances where Word has created duplicate text in a cell (which is split by a page break) above and below the page break. When I try to delete one copy of the text, e.g. the text below the page break, both copies are deleted.  When I try to type in new text to replace the old, this is duplicated above and below the page break. This doesn't happen in all cells, only a few.

This is ridiculous. I'm not trying to access files I have stored in SkyDrive, these are files that should be on my hard disk drive and Microsoft tells me I can't access them because they are "BUSY"? It is the middle of the friggin' day and I have work to do. I can't sit around and wait for Microsoft engineers to pull their collective thumbs out of an orafice, does anyone know if I can run Office 2010 even though I downloaded Office 365? (Unfortunately, I am running Windows 8, and yes I have updated to 8.1) What a major snafu! Thanks a lot Microsoft, you just caused me a boat load of extra work.

No blank rows

Created the Word Mail Merge Directory - selecting the excel workbook first row are the field codes
inserted the field codes into the document

Select Edit Recipient list
click on the drop down arrow beside the column titles and doesn't show any of the data to choose from all I get is to choose from is:
Sort Ascending
Sort Descending
(all)
(Blanks)
(Non Blanks)
(advanced).

None of the data is listed to choose from, i.e. Assignee - no names listed, Date - no dates listed to filter by.

The mail merge was working okay on Wednesday could filter by date or assignee to filter the recipients, but as of Thursday and Today it doesn't work.

I create a new excel document with just some test data
I created an new word mail merge labels as a test, and same results not displaying any data to filter by. 

I've tried selecting the recipients list via OLE DB Database Files, Excel Files via DDE, and Excel Files via ODBC

I'm wandering if Microsoft put out a recent update to office to change this or stopped it from working.

Running Vista Enterprise and Office 2007 SP2

Any ideas as I've tried all online solutions I could find to try get this to work but nothing working.  I tried the documents on another computer which was working on Wednesday but same results now on the other computer not working.

Disappearing Menu bars in Word and Excel

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 10:32 AM PST

Neither MS Word 2013 or MS Excel 2013 display any menu bars when opening either program or when opening   existing files in either program. The area at the top of the screen is completely blank. To the far upper right corner is what appears to be a hotlink "Sign In" but nothing happens when clicked. This is on a Dell desktop PC.  Both programs have worked properly up until now, when the menu bars disappeared. The change did not coincide with loading of any new software or other changes in the system that I am aware of.  Help!

Hard full stop/decimal point

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 10:20 AM PST

I am looking how to insert a "hard full stop" ie the decimal point in a number such as 42.65. Pressing the normal "." key inserts a normal full stop that is treated as the end of a sentence. This has the effect of activating autocorrect and spacing can become confused.

Word auto-highlighting, how to make it STOP!

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST

How do you disable this STUPID feature?

I'm trying to highlight a single word or some part of a word for cut&paste operations and Word auto-highlights the whole line and sometimes the whole paragraph or page. 

I can be using a mouse, I can be using the shift+arrow keys, it doesn't matter. The auto-highlight takes over.
it seems to be worse on any kind of bullets and numbering or any header/footer fields.


=======

auto-indent is another evil feature. cut and paste from a notepad  and the indent is changed on your bullets and numbering. pretty much control-v means indent text right ->

Alphanumeric Page Numbers In Word

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 07:04 AM PST

I am not a very good Word user so I apologize in advance if this question seems to be very basic!


I am using Word 2007. I am in Section 4 of my document and I want to change the formatting of the Page Number in the Footer. In Section 3, the Page Numbers began at 1 and ended at 68. In Section 4, I want the first page of that section to be F-1, the second page to be F-2, the third page to be F-3, and so on and so on in that Section.


How do I do this?


Thanks so much.



Delete last paragaph mark

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 06:47 AM PST

If I delete the last paragraph (and paragraph mark) in a document , the preceeding paragraph assumes the style of the deleted paragraph. I know how to work around this, but is there a setting somewhere in Word to stop this behavior?

Delete a multilevel list

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 06:31 AM PST

I want to change a multilevel list back to regular text.  When I highlight the entire list and then  switch from the current multilevel list formatting to "None", only the first line of the list reverts to regular text.  Is there a way to convert the entire list back to text using the multilevel list options or should I be looking elsewhere to "unformat" a multilevel list?  (The list is not one I defined, if that makes a difference).

Word 2013, Report Writing, Sections, Figures and Tables

Posted: 17 Jan 2014 06:23 AM PST

I have to create a report from a series of sections sent by multiple contributors.  It's challenging as each contributor tends to use their own formatting, and I have to sort all that out when pasting the report together.  Each section contains figures and tables.  They are captioned with text only, but not numbered. 

 

The report table of contents will look sort of like this:

 

Table of Contents

Section 1.0

Section 1.1

Section 1.2 (multiple figures and tables in this section)

Section 1.2.1

 

Section 2.0

Section 2.1 (multiple figures and tables in this section)

Section 2.1.1

Section 2.2

 

and so on....

 

Each section will have multiple figures and tables, which I need to automatically update in the list of figures and tables.  How do I correctly set up the captions so that they will update correctly?  What currently happens, is that all the figures and tables update in numerical order, figure 1, figure 2, figure 3 or table 1, table 2, table 3 - this happens for the entire document.

 

What I want to do, is have figure 1.1, figure 1.2, then figure 2.1, Figure 2.1.1, Figure 2.1.2, Figure 3.1, Figure 3.2.1 and so on, so that they coordinate with the appropriate sections.

 

I hope that I'm explaining this correctly.  If anyone can reference a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Cheers!

toc in merge document. error when saving as pdf please help!!!

Posted: 16 Jan 2014 09:25 PM PST

I am merging a long document (+50pgs) that has a table of contents. The final merge will be over 450 split documents that I will then want to save as a pdf file. The merge works fine, but when I try to save as a pdf I get error codes in the toc. If I lock the toc before I save as pdf that works too. However, I will then have to do this 450 times! Also, I can't lock the toc before the merge, as the data location changes as the data location obviously changes as the merge us performed. Does anyone know a way I can perform the merge and have the final merged documents formatted so I can save them as pdf files without getting pages full of error codes in my toc? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Microsoft Word 2013 Trial does not work.

I recently downloaded the 365 day trial of Microsoft Word 2013. Instead of getting 365 days however, I got less than three weeks before it locked me out, telling me that I need to purchase the product in order to continue using it.

Why cant you just tell me how to do it instead of making me read everyone elses comments.

Why can't you just tell me how to do it, instead of making me read pages of other peoples comments?

If the current mindset and culture are against implementing an enterprise
project management tool such as Project Server, then it would probably be a
huge waste of time and money. There needs to be organization commitment,
among other things, before the implementation has a chance of success.
Thanks for trying, however. :)

Updating the schedule with progress

Posted: 09 Mar 2005 05:31 AM PST

"Sarah" <com> wrote in message news:<googlegroups.com>... 


Yes, agree entirely. I have avoided as many constraints as possible
anyway and don't wish to start introducing them.

The only problem I have now is that the subs as such are feeling
exposed by this as it obviously gives more visibility of their
activity. Ideally we should be using an EPM tool (Project Server
perhaps).
This is a large programme I am working on and to be honest is very
badly set up for scheduling. So, I have tried to set up the process as
mentioned in order to lessen the burdon on what info the subs have to
provide to me on a weekly basis.

Any views on this?

Customized Field in Project Pro 2003

Hi Mike,

Judging from other folks responses, I think I can express our mutual
gratitude to all of you who wade in and help (with technical answers or
directions to the answers! ;-), especially those who share code, files, etc!
And I agree about posting to the correct ng. I've just noticed that few
postings to this ng go un-answered. Perhaps because there are fewer who have
a server? Regardless, I'm grateful for any answers I can get! :-)

Hi Neill,

Sorry - my mind must have been on another tack!

There is an undocumented feature that might help, though, unfortunately for
what you want it works in reverse! Still, it might be worth experimenting.
:)

In a split screen, with network diagram view on top and the
task sheet view on the bottom, on the network diagram, select
an appropriate task. Press and hold the shift key then
select the task again. All successor tasks will be then be
selected and therefore will appear on the Task Sheet, where you can insert
other columns if it helps.

Hi,

Select Tools, Customize, Fields

Select each field in turn then rename them. That way whenever you insert a
custom field you see the name you assigned which of course tells you that
this field is already reserved for something. Also, if you name a field
MyFlag, then MyFlag appears as a field name in the list.

Finish to finish depency question

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 12:33 PM PST

It seems that your dependency is arbitrary.
you said " I want it to have a start to start dependency with Task A"
My opinion is the dependency should be as it is in real world.
For example, we can start superstructure only when the substructure is done
(bottom up),so we set FS dependency.
But sometime we do need arbitrary links, mostly for leveling resource usage
some PMs do resource leveling manually rather than by MSP,the way is to set
these arbitrary links.

You'd better learn something about critical path method,a good way is to
calculate (ES,LS,EF,LF,TF,FF...) a small schedule manually. You also need to
learn something about resource. they will give you some ideas what dependency
is
