Language proofing changes as I type (involuntarily!)

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 02:57 PM PDT

I keep having this problem. As I am typing in Word 2007, all of a sudden many of my normal English words will be underlined in red because the computer has deemed them as not words. And these are very normal words like "machine" and "river".

My computer (running on Windows 8) is set to English as my default language, so it is not that.

When I go into the Proofing section of Word, it appears that it thinks I am Spanish or French all of a sudden. But the setting is still English. I am getting so frustrated by this.

Any help?

Why does it do this?

Many thanks!

Hidden Text Pages and Page Numbering

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 01:51 PM PDT

I am creating a document with hidden text (and hidden page breaks) on the even numbered pages and regular text (and regular page breaks) on the odd numbered pages.  I will be printing two versions of this document - one with all hidden text (all pages) and another without the hidden text (essentially only the odd number pages).

I want the even number pages (regular text pages) to be sequentially numbered in both versions.  In other words, whether or not I print with or without hidden text, I want the even number pages to be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... 

I have been playing with various formula combinations within a field in the footer.  I currently have the following formula, which works great in the "with hidden text pages" version.  It numbers the pages 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.  I'm ok with this because ultimately, my even numbered pages are still numbered sequentially as I want.  I'm not as worried about what appears in the footer of the odd number pages with the hidden text.

{ = { page }-1(({ page }-1)/2) }

However, when I remove the hidden text pages, all of my pages continue to be numbered 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc.  when I want them to just be sequentially numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. 

I've played around with using hidden text in the latter half of the formula, assuming when I remove hidden text from the document that portion of the formula would also be removed and I'd be left with just a straight page number.  Unless I'm missing something or doing something wrong, that doesn't seem to be working either. 

So... I'm hoping someone can help me figure out this scenario.

"You Don't Have Permissions to Connect" Error with SharePoint

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 12:06 PM PDT

Hi,

I'm attempting to use Office for iPad, activated for editing with a Office365 Personal subscription, to access in on-premises SharePoint 2010 site.

I've tried entering the addresses of the main site, sub-site, and the document library into the "Add a Place" dialog but I keep getting an error message which simply, and un-informatively, states "You Don't Have Permissions to Connect".

I happen to be an admin of this particular sub-site, so I do have permissions to it. I'm also able to access the site just fine using Safari on the same iPad. The message appears both on our internal WLAN at the office and when connected via the public internet. I get the same message in all 4 Office for iPad apps.

I've asked our resident SharePoint guru in the office (who also happens to be a SharePoint MVP) if he knows of anything which could cause this, but so far he's not been able to find any reason why I shouldn't be able to access the sub-site and document library from Office for iPad.

We've also both googled extensively for any information which could helps us diagnose this issue, over the last week have failed to find anything useful.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening please?

Is there some config change or update needed on the SharePoint 2010 server for Office for iPad support perhaps?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give,Chris

Office 2010: Does the end user need to have both Word and Excel to fill out the Word form?

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 11:31 AM PDT

I created a Word 2010 form. I inserted an Excel worksheet in two different parts of the form due to wanting to be able to add columns. (I'm not familiar with macros enough to do a macro for this.) I am being asked if the end user needs to have both Word and Excel in order to fill out my Word form. My guess would be yes, but I want to make sure. I don't know anyone who does not have either to test this out on. Thank you

Searching Documents for instances of words from a list.

How to I get Word 2013 to detect Mr. and Mrs. etc?

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:52 AM PDT

It used to be the case that Word would detect the salutations of Mr, Mrs (etc) which had a period on UK English documents.

This no longer happens.

Is there a switch that needs setting or something?

For those unfamiliar with this, in UK English, the use of the period after an abbreviated salutation is deprecated. So in UK English, we refer to (eg) Prof Brown, Mrs Bassington, Dr McCoy, etc.

I have checked that there is nothing in CUSTOM.DIC that could cause this, at least as far as I can see. Is there anything else I should do?

Unable to open Word documents

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:46 AM PDT

It's been a couple of days since I started to have this problem. I've just uninstalled and installed Office again and it didn't work. I can open files stored in my computer or any other source, but not the files that I have stored in OneDrive. It only happens with Word. It started to happen after the lights went out in my house. Probably there was some damage. But it's funny that it only happens with word and with files stored in OneDrive. Don't know what to do.

Deleting a paragraph of text with VBA

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:46 AM PDT

I'm looking for some help with VBA code to delete a line of text (which is also a paragraph.

I have a text document which I transalated into another language, putting the translation line immediately beneath the English. Thus, there is basically a line of English followed by a line of Spanish, followed by a line of English and so on. At the end of each line there is a carriage return.

So that the document can be understood more easily, the Spanish lines are in Blue.

So far, This is what I have come up with, but it is not doing the job

Sub RemoveBlueText()
' Find all text in blue and delete
Dim curCharIndex As Integer
Dim charCount As Integer
curCharIndex = 1
charCount = ActiveDocument.Characters.Count

While curCharIndex <= charCount
    ActiveDocument.Characters(curCharIndex).Select
    If Selection.Font.Color = Blue Then
        Selection.Delete
        charCount = charCount - 1
    Else
        'Skip it
       curCharIndex = curCharIndex + 1
    End If
Wend

End Sub

While doing a Find & Replace, Word 2013 does not always highlight the found word

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:23 AM PDT

While doing a Find & Replace, Word 2013 does not always highlight the found word 

Find & Replace usually highlights (with a grey background) a word, portion of a word, sentence or paragraph that has been 'found', so that the user can then decide whether to Replace or not.

Quite often however, Word stops at a page, indicating something has been found, but does not highlight the word (etc).

As soon as the mouse is clicked in the document, Word does display the highlighting. I have tested this making sure the Find & Replace dialogue box is not overlapping the document.

This almost always occurs when the word (etc) to be highlighted is in the top line displayed in the window. Note that this is not consistent and that sometimes a word in error in the top line will be highlighted correctly.

This screenshot on OneDrive illustrates

This is a regular occurrence, but I can't detect a pattern or reason.

Producing labels in Office 2007 on Windows 8.1

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:40 AM PDT

I bought a new HP laptop with 8.1 installed. I successfully installed my copy of Office 2007. When I try to produce mailing labels in Word using an Excel workbook as a source of data, only a few show up at the top of the label page and one line at the bottom of the label page. It's my understanding that this is a known problem and the only solution is to buy Office 2010 or above. 

Has anyone else had this experience or does anyone have a suggestion.

Thank you.

New caption label for Appendices does not increment the number of figure

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:36 AM PDT

I followed the instructions in Shauna Kelley's article about how to create a new figure label for Appendices.  I had success with one large document that I created, importing figures in the appendices as I went and creating the caption for each.  I am using a template provided by my organization, with Heading 5 defined for Appendix headings.

I am now writing another large document, with the same template.  This time, I wrote five appendices outside of this template, and now I am copying and pasting the text.  The figures in the pre-written appendices were captioned with the main text figure label, so now I am converting them to the Figure_Apx label that Shauna described.  Here is the problem.  The first figure is labeled "Figure A-1".  The second figure is labeled "Figure A-1".  The third figure is labeled "Figure A-2".  All figures thereafter are incremented correctly, but are one off.

I have looked at the codes (alt + F9) between the two documents and do not see any differences.  I have tried changing the switch in those codes from "\s 5" to "\r 2" for the second figure, but maybe I do not understand that formatting--they seem to set to the desired values, but then change to something else at some point after I move onto setting this switch with other figures.  I tried the switch "\n 5", but it was not recognized. 

I did put section breaks before the first appendix and between each appendix thereafter.

Any ideas what is wrong and what is the solution?

Word 2013 is crashing when attempting to open OneDrive files

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:27 AM PDT

Lately, I've been attempting to open Word documents from my OneDrive account and as it attempts to open the document, Word (2013) itself crashes.

If I download the file from OneDrive and attempt to open it locally, things work just fine.

The machine I'm having issues with is my work computer which is running Windows 7 Pro x64 all the latest updates.

I have been bouncing back and forth between my home computer with this document, which is a Windows 8.1 x64 Update 1. Also running Office 2013. I have not attempted to open the document again from my home computer since this has started happening, however I will attempt this evening to see if I am also getting the problem there.

Word could not create the work file - check the temp environment variable

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:08 AM PDT

Hello

When I try to upload a Word (2007) document to an online site, I get the following:

"Word could not create the work file - check the temp environment variable". I have uninstalled and reinstalled Word, which makes no difference.

I have tried the following as recommended in a KB article:

1. Make sure you are the administrator and all files and folders are not hidden.

2. Open Internet explorer

3. Click Tools and click on Internet Options

4. On browsing history – Click Settings

5. Click Move Folder

6. Now here is where it counts

7. Click Drive C:

8. Click Users

9. Click Your Name if you are the admin. Do not choose admistrator

10. Click AppData (will be in grey font)

11. Click Local

12. Click Microsoft

13. Click Internet

14. Click Temporary Internet Files

15. Now save all documents and things

16. Click Ok to everything and your system will logoff (Don't worry that is normal)

17. Now log back in and check your office.

It makes no difference.

As recommended elsewhere, I have changed the Registry from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Temporary Internet Files

to

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Still the problem persists.

Using sfc /scannow, I have scanned all my Windows files and get: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations, and I have undertaken three anti-virus scans (Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and TFC) - they found nothing.

What else can I try, please?

Thanks.

MS WORD PAGE NUMBER ISSUES

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 07:01 AM PDT

I am having issues with inserting page numbers. I am constructing a document using a pre-existing template. Whenever I insert the page numbers, they don't line up with the actual pages. For example, pages 1-3 are fine but then it skips a page, saying that page 4 is really page 5. Then later in the document, the page numbers restart in the middle of the document. For example, page 19 of 28 turns into page 1 of 28 again. Then when I try to edit each individual page number, it changes all the page numbers. This is so annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Show Formatting Mark for Keep with Next

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 09:16 PM PDT

In Word 2010, I generally have all my paragraphs set as "keep lines together", because I don't like paragraphs breaking over pages.

As a result of this when I am displaying formatting marks I have bullets to the left of all my paragraphs.

For certain paragraphs I like to set them to be "keep with next".

However there is no way that I can see (via formatting marks) which ones these are.

Can anyone suggest how I can display (when editing) which paras are "keep with next"?

Many thanks

WordMacroToPage48

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 05:40 PM PDT

I have a question involving a long document. I have control buttons on the first page. When I click each button I will be  sent

to a different page in the document.

My question is that one particular control button sends me to page 8, not my intended page 48,  after I open the document and click the button.

I have the following macro attached to this button

----------------------------------------------------

Private Sub CommandButton14_Click()

pageToSee = 48

     Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=pageToSee

End Sub

To temporaily fix the problem, I review code for the button and the above routine is shown, I save the document without closing and

now the button goes to page 48 as I intended.

But after I close the document and reopen, the button once pressed sends me back to page 8 and not 48.

Any help would be appreciated.

Will my files be deleted if I remove Microsoft Office?

Posted: 09 Oct 2006 09:06 PM PDT

Further iteration on your Word Documents. Milly is correct, depending on
WHERE you stored your documents.

1. If you stored any documents in folders that are within any part of the
Office installation path AND the uninstall feature removes the entire
installation branch. These files may be deleted.

2. Any template configurations (.dot files, macros, ...) will be removed.

3. Any third-party 'enhancements' to Office will become either unuseable or
uninstalled (depending on installation folder). Hopefully, third-party
support has created their own unique folder that remains un-touched by
Office uninstall. However,
some third-party developers continue to install under C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft\.....

Just my two bits based on passed experience.

Could be that it's not typed in properly; try this:

Sometimes characters look like others, such as S and 5.

Do you receive an "invalid product key" error message when you try to

same version of Office on the computer. For example, do you have an Office
2003 Trial version and an Office 2003 retail version installed on the

Microsoft Office Excel 2003, installed together with a full Office 2003

Install Office 2K3 on Several Machines

Posted: 04 Oct 2006 07:48 PM PDT

Hi Nick,

You can create an Office Admin Point using your Volume License Key and then deploy to the workstations from there. You can create
Office customization files (MSTs) for various configurations you may need using the Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard.

The tools and procedures are in the MS Office 2003 resource kit (ORK2003) at
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2003

Why wont office 2007 beta 2 open documents?

Posted: 04 Oct 2006 01:07 AM PDT

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

Office 2007 and Vista RC1 (5600)

I dont' remember the name of the executable that i downloaded, I have it
somewhere, but here is the jist:
nameofapp.exe /extract:c:\off2k7
copy the contents of the directory onto blank cd using nero
i'm going to try and install it on another machine later today, but that is
all i did. there were no error's reported back to me before, during or after
the extraction, no errors reported back to me from nero.
I created the cd on my desktop at work, and attempted the install on my
desktop at home. I wonder if there is something that is preventing this type
of install, I just attempted to install Sharepoint Designer, and it got much
farther, asking for the cd key, appeared to copy files, then this error came
up:
MIcrosoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007 (Beta) encountered an error during
setup. Error 2711. AN internal error has occurred.

Office 2007 B2TR Installation Failure

Posted: 02 Oct 2006 08:44 AM PDT

Hi!

I found out what the problem was and resolved it, sorry for not posting
sooner.

I originally had machine dual booting XP Pro on C: drive and XP 64bit on I:
drive until I had migrated everything over to 64 bit.

Once everything was installed and as I like it (including Office), I changed
the drive letter to C.

The Office installer first of all uses the registered %temp% folder for its
unpacking, however the actual .msp file tries to use the original install
locations temp folder.

Not usually a probelm if there was another drive ther, but my CD drive had
then become I: so it refused to install.

I temporarily changed my CD drive to J: and it installed perfectly.


Thanks for your reply Bob,


Chris

MS Office B2TR Problems with BDE

Hi Kelly,

There are a number of apps that use .dbf files (including MS Works and MS Office) but the use of the Borland Data Engine, isn't
required in many cases. You may want to also post in the Goldmine forums on this one to see if a workaround has been found that may
be of use to you for now.

=========
<<"Kelly Cobean" <com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
Thanks Bob:

This is from Goldmine on Windows XP SP2. Workstations without B2TR work
fine.

Clearly MS will do something since there are a number of MAJOR 3rd party
applications that still use dBASE databases.. Hopefully that statement is
not wishful thinking.

Tried the registry change and that did not work. >>

Have you tried re-creating the shortcuts?

First, can you run the repair option from any of the Office apps.
Second, you can re-create the shortcut by going to the Office installation
folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Shortcut Bar\Office, copy what you
want and paste in the

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs folder (or wherever
you have them currently).

Cost per mo

Posted: 15 May 2005 11:29 PM PDT

A basic point - the budget of yor project is not the same thing as what you
pay your resources per unit of time. IT is what you pay your resources to
do the actual work that is driectly involved in the project. If you have
Joe who gets $2500 per month and he works on something in your project for 1
hour, doing something else the rest of the month, his cost to your project
really is only ~$16, not his full salary. Let whoever he was doing the
other stuff for pay him for that work out of their budget, not yours <grin>.
And as Rod already said, you should use what is known as a "burdened labour
cost" with adjustments for benefits, hiring and training costs, office space
and utilities, etc, instead of base salary so you are accurately reflecting
the true costs to your firm of doing that project.

Costs in Project reflect the actual costs of doing that project, not the
overall costs of doing business. Unless your resources are all external
contractors, you'd have to pay that resource even if you didn't do the
project at all. What counts from a project costing, roi, etc perspective is
what it costs you to do that work in contrast to all the other things you
could be doing. Even if your costs of doing business don't increase when
you do the project, there still is an opportunity cost to be factored in
based on the fact that you're committing resources here and so can't commit
them there.

Some settings are "above the line" and are general settings that are
remembered from project to project. Others are "below the line," project
specific settings that are saved as part of the project file. The status of
the Project Summary Task is one of the latter. If you tuen it on and then
save your project it will be on when you reopen it.

automating outline levels

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:09 PM PDT

I'm not certain I understand, but maybe if you (in MSProject) say "group by
Field1 then by Field2 then by Field3", that would place each imported task
under three levels of headers (which are similar to summaries). See command
Project/CustomizeGroups.

Does this do what you want?

calculate % complete based on other fields

Posted: 14 May 2005 11:05 PM PDT

Sounds like your structure might be based on time sequencing rather than
process sequencing. By that I wonder if your summary tasks are time units
such as "Work for June" and the subtasks all the tasks taking place during
that month? Or perhaps the summary is "Work for the Engineering Group" with
all the tasks done by resources from those departments listed as subtasks
under it. If either is the case, you might want to reconsider your WBS
because at least in my experience such structures always leads to headaches
in the end. Your issue with progress recording for "odd and even" tasks
will be just the tip of the iceberg I'm afraid. I'd strongly suggest you
consider putting the tasks relating to structural work under a summary
"Build Structure" while those related to outfitting be put under an "Outfit
Structure" summary, perhaps even with sub-summaries such as "Install
Piping", "Install HVAC", "Install Wiring", etc and the various activities
required to install those key deliverables listed as subtasks under their
appropriate areas. The sequencing of tasks is most correctly driven be the
predecessor/successor links and is not dependent on their relative positions
in the task listing. There's nothing that says task 100 can't come before
task 50 in time or for that matter produce a deliverable that task 50 needs
in order to start, thus making 100 both a predecessor and an antecendent of
50.

widow/orphan control

Posted: 13 May 2005 12:30 PM PDT

Why would you want to???? If you follow a conventional business or academic
document style and double space between paragraphs, those single words or
phrases you can get appearing to hang in the top or bottom margins when a
page break hits just after the first line of a new paragraph or just before
the last couple of words in the last paragraph at the bottom of a page are
incredibly ugly looking and amateurish. Having widow/orphan control turned
on instructs Word to fix it if they're about to occur. Frankly I can't
imagine any document where you'd actually want to see widows and orphans
forming.

Gérard Thanks for quick response. However this does not seem to work either.

the structure I am after is like this.

A
B
C
C
C
B
C
C
C

where the B's are subtasks of A and the C's are sub tasks of the B's
to acheive this I have set as suggested the outline levels

1
2
3
3
3
2
3
3
3

The problem is that some tasks at the level 3 get jumbled up into the
different level 2's. I have checked the source table and they are stored in
the correct sequence there and if read sequentually or through the default
index they should be read in correctly.

Do I need to change my Outline level somehow or some how force MS Project to
use the default table index ?

Thanks

Milestones add time to projects?

Posted: 12 May 2005 08:13 PM PDT

The best solution is to completely remove the fixed-date constraint from
your milestone and link it into the chain of subtasks as the last task in
the chain. The duration of a summary is from the start of the earliest task
to the finish of the latest task, If I have a summary containing only two
subtasks, both of them milestones of zero duration, and use a MSO or MFO
contraint to fix the subtasks to dates 2 weeks apart, the summary will show
a duration of 2 weeks. Milestones are NOT dates per se - they are
signifigant EVENTS (such as "Approval Received" or "Design Finished") that
occur during the project. They may, and usually do, have deadlines or dates
where they are supposed to hit but that doesn't mean they are "fixed dates."
A "fixed date " means it WILL happen on that date no matter what else is
going on or whether the events leading up to it happen on time or not. That
approval, for example, will come whenever it comes, be it early, on-time, or
late. What your plan should be showing is where the milestone is likely to
happen as determined by the work leading up to it, with a deadline
indicating where it is supposed to happen if you're meeting your objectives
so you can compare the two and determine if your plan is a good one or if
you have to go back to the drawing board and reschedule to better meet the
required performance.
