I don't agree. Incremental backups can save you a lot of work. _Your_ data
is what is most important to _you_. You can always reinstall the OS if
necessary, but you can't recreate your "birthday party pictures." Your
excuse about it "being hard" may land you in hot water if something goes
wrong with your install (or with your hardware- hard disks are known to
fail, you know). You should assess what you have on backup, and what you
need to make that set complete. Otherwise, be prepared to "kiss it
goodbye."
 

Note: comment inline.

You seem to know what you are doing, but I won't be the one to guarantee
that nothing will go wrong with your install. Shit happens. Humans make
mistakes. I'd backup I were you.

Modem Problem with Suse Version 10.1

Please don't top post. I have moved your response to follow the format
adopted by this newsgroup.

I noticed after I posted that you are using a Intel-537EP. There is a
separate source/driver for that chipset. My links refer to Intel-536EP,
and that is the wrong driver. It appears version 2.7.95.0 is the latest
driver for the 537EP:

(split url, again:)
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/T8Clearance.aspx?
url=/9284/eng/Intel-537EP-2.70.95.0-suse9.3.tgz&agr=Y&ProductID=1230&DwnldID=9284&lang =eng

You said you have tried two versions of Suse. I see that Intel
supports Suse version 9.3 directly with a binary driver. Suse 9.3 is a
little old, though. The source is the best way, but you'll need to be
able to follow their instructions carefully.

Debian installer does not recognise ataraid array

[snip details of your plan to try again using the Debian d-i installer's
"bf2.6" installation flavour]

Chris, I read your post last night, and at the time was very impressed
with your thorough approach to both the testing process and recounting
of same on this newsgroup. Like Michael Heiming, who kindly posted the
link to my Linux on SATA page, I have little practical experience with
fakeraid controllers -- and just about everything I know on the subject
is already on the aforementioned page.
 

I've not yet found one, and I've really looked extensively (though not
lately). In addition to the dmraid resources linked from my SATA page,
please see if the udev-related entries on
http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Kernel are any use to you -- since hotplug,
udev, sysfs, and the devicemapper all work closely in 2.6.

Anyway, my understanding is that the ataraid software layer is
2.4-specific, and dmraid _is_ ataraid for 2.6. (You may have meant
simply "Linux parsing of ATA fakeraid disk semantics", in which case
no criticism intended, and I'm just being careful to disambiguate.)
 

Correct.
 

My impression is that you're not missing anything, except the extremely
high likelihood that the current Debian installer ("d-i") doesn't have
dmraid support in the installation kernel. Now, what you _could_ do is
to install some other leading-edge distribution, e.g., FC5, and then do
a chroot installation of Debian, using the other distro's infrastructure
support for dmraid to accomplish the job. You'd then compile a
dmraid-supporting kernel inside the chroot jail before rebooting.

(See: "Installers" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Debian on how to do
chroot installs. It's actually pretty easy, and interesting to do.)

See also:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2005-July/msg00014.html

The existence of this "udeb" package suggests that my suspicion about
d-i is correct: Such packages are useful in constructing custom
installer images. (There are lots of such custom installer images
catalogued on the aforementioned "Installers" page; might be one with
dmraid support.)
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/debian-installer/dmraid-udeb

That package should not be confused with userspace package "dmraid",
which is the glue to control fakeraid operations via devicemapper:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/dmraid

Good luck.

There was mention of putting in a installer disc, but the problem

I fear it is a motherboard problem and I will have to replace it. Suck.

wireless and madwifi installation problem.

Posted: 17 Jul 2006 03:10 PM PDT

>about my system: I have a laptop t42 (ibm) with fedora 5. wireless 

OK, that means that the driver is either not loaded or had problems when it
tried to load. Look in /etc/modprobe.conf to see if there is something
there (ie some driver to be loaded).
If there is, run modprobe nameofdriver
and see if there are online errors or errors at the end of
dmesg|tail


 
 

That means that you do not have the kernel source installed. Look on your
installation CDs (or whereever you installed from ) for an rpm that starts
with
kernel-source and ends with .i386.rpm
Install it

rpm -Uhv /path/to/your/CD/kernel-source*i386.rpm


 
 
 
 

Yes, it means that the interface wifi0 does not exist, which iwconfig
already told you ( actually wifi0 is not an interface name any driver I
know of uses anyway).


You need either a native driver for your wirelss card
lspci|less
and look for the wireless card.
or you need to use ndiswrapper
( ndiswrapper should be on the installation CD. Install it with rpm
and then do
ndiswrapper -l <nameofwindowsfile.inf>
where the argument is the path to and the name of the inf file for the
windows driver from the windows CD that came with the wireless/laptop.

Microsoft Word - "Email as PDF" function button causing crashes in Office 2013

Microsoft Word - "Email as PDF" function button causing crashes in Office 2013

"Email as PDF" function button causing crashes in Office 2013

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 02:46 PM PDT

I created a toolbar in Office 2010 that would allow me to click the button, "Email as PDF" on the ribbon.

In Office 2013, there are two bugs in this function.

1. In Office 2010, when you click this button, an Outlook email windows open with the document attached as a PDF and the cursor is focussed on the send-to address bar.  In Outlook 2013, when you click on this same button, the focus is completely random.  Sometimes the focus is on the send-to address bar.  Sometimes it is on the subject line, sometimes it doesn't focus at all.

When sending an email normally, Outlook focuses on the send to address bar normally.  It should also do so when you click "Email as PDF"

I attach a screen pic showing the button.

2.  In Office 2013, there is a major bug occuring when a person tries to send an email  with a word document attached but another dialogue button is open in Outlook.  What occurs is that the email cannot be sent (Outlook warns that a dialogue button is open), the dialogue box is focussed for you to deal with it, but then when you close it, the email is gone.  You cannot then shut down Word at all and Outlook no longer functions either.  This never occured in 2010.  All one had to do is shut down the dialogue box, return to the email and send it.  Now, the entire Office system crashes.

Printout repeats word/phrase from end of one line to beginning of next, but Print Preview looks fine

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 02:24 PM PDT

We're having a chronic problem in Word 2010 where someone will print a document and notice that a word or phrase from the end of one line will be repeated at the beginning of the next line. However, the repeated word/phrase does not show up on screen, nor is it seen in Print Preview.

We've tried switching to a different printer, with no luck.

Is this a document corruption issue, or a print or display driver issue?

Form Fields In Word Documents

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 02:07 PM PDT

My colleages have set up a document using form fields.  Unfortunately the end user's are double clicking on the field and getting the field box setup instead of just highlighting and typing.   In a nutshell, the end-user doesn't understand how to put in their text.  My colleagues also don't want to put an explaination to the user that reads you should hightlight and type over the text instead of double-clicking.  Another paramater is that I've been asked not to make it an actual locked form because they want the user to be able to send just the last two pages and not the entire five pages.

Mail Marge Master Template stripping formatting when using INCLUDETEXT

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 11:50 AM PDT

I am working with a Mail Marge Master Template essentially created to spew out letters based on certain criteria.

The master template has a TON of IF statements basically to check what letter template (different letters created in Word) to insert using the INCLUDETEXT field code based on the value of one of the list field.

If the field is "Letter1" then letter1.doc is inserted, if the field is "Letter2" then letter2.doc is inserted...etc

The template works great and inserts the right document using the INCLUDETEXT but the formatting of the INCLUDETEXT file is stripped (no bold, italics, bold etc..).

I have created a basic Mail Merge file from scratch and tried to include different letters and the formatting is perfect.  Somehow this Master Template I am working with is stripping the format.

I am using basic code in both the original and my test file:

{INCLUDETEXT "C:\\LOCATIONOFFILE\\letter1.doc" \*CHARFORMAT  \*MERGEFORMAT}

I don't think I need the CHARFORMAT but it's in the master so I left it.  The Master Template is very similar:

{IF {MERGEFIELD Letter} = "Letter1" "{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\LOCATIONOFFILE\\letter1.doc" \*CHARFORMAT  \*MERGEFORMAT}" ""}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've browsed the support forum, and tried various recovery tools, without success.  The failure occurred when I converted a PDF (with lots of embedded graphics but no equations) to word, using the built-in converter in MS Word 13.  I then did some extensive editing, and saved the file.  Everything looked OK, but when I opened Word the following day there were problems getting it to start .  Then there appeared to be a small file of 162 bytes and the corrupt file appeared and would not open.

Creating drop-down lists in Word

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 09:18 AM PDT

I create a drop-down list to be used in a form in an MSWord document.  I add the items by entering the "Display Name" and then the actual "Value".  However, once I protect the document so that it can be used a form and you select an item, it shows only the "Display Name" and not the "Value".  This remains the case when I print the document.

Is there any way one can create a drop-down list that allows more than one item to be selected in the form?

Mail Merge Question

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 08:58 AM PDT

Hi,

Is it possible to merge one to many in the same document?  Example, my data source (Excel) has the fields:  Person's Name, Comment 1, Comment 2, etc. Similar to this:

Person 1 Comment 1 Comment 2
Person 2 Comment 1 Comment 2

I would like to group the comments by the comment field, not the person's name and display the data like:

Comment 1

Name - Comment 1

Name - Comment 1

Comment 2

Name - Comment 2

Name - Comment 2

I can get the first group to populate with the information, but the second group of comments won't display any information.  I looked at using the Directory mail merge type, but the comments are going to be different from each person and some may be blank. 

Thanks.

Word 2010 will not stay on Home page as soon as I click on document

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 08:01 AM PDT

Word wont stay as I have it set up on the Home screen. As soon as I click  inside on a new document for example it gives me another ribbon at the top (not the home page )- I tried to customize it as the same as home page , but it not the same width or look.

The home page does come up when I start word, the only way for me to get back it in the doc us to click again on home.Anything I click on, on the ribbon or the document when in home page,  reverts a thinner ribbon with not as many options as the home page- I just want to use the home page as I have it set up-

What do I do?

I do see that control F1 will toggle the display back- but does this keep it permanent?

Bug: Page Color not shown in when new window is created

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 07:57 AM PDT

Here is a bug I discovered in Word 2010 14.0.7166 (when programming some macros):

In Print Layout:

1) In Page Layout, set the Page Color to some color

2) In View, create New Window. The new window will not show the page color.

3) If you go back to Page Layout, and click on Page Color, you will see that the page color you chose in 1 is selected. Clicking on this again fixes the problem: the new window shows the page color.

I have not found a way to fix this, to have the effect of 3, within macros, except switching in to Print Preview view, and then switching back. Removing and resetting the value of page color fills, screen refreshes, etc., don't seem to do anything.

Some Office Docs don't open - They open to Office start screen

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 06:43 AM PDT

Hi,

So I have a very strange issue on one of our users laptops. The user is on Windows 7 and is using Office 2013 with Office 365 subscription.

It started with the user attempting to open a Word document from our in house file server. Here is what happens...

When they open the doc the Word load screen starts

  • The Word load screen disappears and then reappears
  • After the load screen has reappeared, Word opens at the start screen where you would select 'Blank document' etc. Therefore document failed to load.
  • This happens with other Office apps like Excel for example

So here is the strange thing. This only happens when files are stored on the file server. If I copy the document to the local desktop it opens fine. The user has full access to these folders on the server (NTFS permissions).

Here is what I have tried and nothing has worked....

  • Office repair - Quick and online
  • Complete Office uninstall using Microsoft fix it, restarting the laptop then re-installing
  • Starting Word in safe mode - It just restarts and goes back to the start screen as normal
  • Renaming / removing Normal.Dotm files etc and renaming the Word 'Data' reg key
  • Adding the users file server credentials into Windows Credential manager
  • Removing recently open files
  • Tried on another computer and the documents open fine

Help please :-)

Missing/blank pages issue

Posted: 24 Jun 2014 06:36 AM PDT

So I was working on a very important document when Word stopped working. I could not do anything. I quickly saved my work, but when I opened the document again, about half of it was inaccessible, the scrollbar showed that pages were still there, but I could not see or access them to recover my work. Word didn't even show blank pages, it was just the background gradient. Also, it was tough to edit the last page before the cutoff, so I couldn't delete the information I could see in hopes that the information on the missing pages would move up into the pages I could see. I even tried to access it through onedrive, but it said there was an issue and forced me to open it in word, which gave me the same problem. There were no earlier versions of the document, since I saved it before I quit. Is there any way to access the information in the missing pages, or recover an earlier version of the document?

Windows 7 & Word 2002 - documents being erased

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 07:23 PM PDT

Are there any known issues with Word 2002 wiping out documents under Windows 7?  Specifically, my Mom will be typing in a document in Word, and with no warning, the document will become blank.  The file itself becomes empty.

She used the same version of Word for ten years under Windows XP without having this issue.  She has written over 1,000 published pages, so I don't think it's user error.  The problem has now happened several times on her new Windows 7 PC (Dell hardware, purchased in March 2014).  Email and Internet seem to work without any problems.

Any suggestions are welcome.  A new version of Office is not desired because of the learning curve for an 80 year old.  Thanks.  Geoff

I am creating a template that users will be able to insert photos text.  How do I lock it so they cannot accidently delete any componants such as the insert image that I have set up in developer tools, I may have several in a page.  I want them to stay where they are not be able to be moved.  Everything I put on the template needs to stay where it is so the user cannot move delete or resize but I still will have sections where they can add their text.

What is the box that shows in place of a space?

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 06:07 PM PDT

I've received a manuscript to format where a number of the spaces between words or at the end of sentences have been replaced by a small box. Can someone tell me what causes this and what it is? See image.

I am working in Word 2010, but I don't know what version initiated the document.

Can't open docm - error message - the name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 04:37 PM PDT

I have a 2013 word document that is a docm that I can't open and get the error message the name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag. Can any one tell me how to fix this?

Thanks

can't change page colors

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 04:13 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 document in which some but not all of the pages are colored.

The document's Page Background color is "no color."

The textbox menu pops up on some of the colored pages so I assume that the whole page must be a text box.  However, the fill is "no color."  How can I get rid of the color?

On other colored pages, no textbox menu pops up.  What could be  controlling the color on those pages is a mystery.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Text not pasting into Word 2013 from outside source (Windows 8.1)

Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:26 PM PDT

Hi, 

I recently got a Lenovo u430 with Windows 8.1. I've been having problems with text not pasting into certain programs such as JCreator and Microsoft word. In Word's case, text will paste fine as long as it is copied from within Word, but text copied from any other source will not paste. Ctrl +  V or right-click > paste just does nothing. 

Any ideas as to what could be causing it?

GRUB problems

Everything is golden now. For about a day, GRUB was booting to the
grub> prompt and then I had to tell it to boot with the kernel. After
figuring out that grub was looking in the wrong place for the grub.conf
file, I was able to correct the issues entirely. We now have a
physical server free for use in other tasks. Thanks everyone for the
help!

Initially I did not compile the kernel so I did not cause the problem by doing so.

This was the problem from a fresh install with no attempt to alter anything.

The mouse did not work for either kernel until I ran xorgconfig a few times and eventually
chose PS/2 for the mouse type. Then it worked with the 2.4.29 kernel.

How can I configure custom memory size for video?

Actually these are two excellent suggestions. It turns out I had
already
cached some other (old, but not quite as bad) video cards in my parts

intending that some day I would try swapping one of them in. Too bad I
didn't write THAT in my system administration notes!

So I swapped in a board with 8MB already on it (which was more than
the old card had), and can get a halfway decent screen resolution.
I did have to edit xorg.conf anyway, but "man xorg.conf" is quite
adequate for editing color depths and video modes. So much easier
than trying to make the old video card do what it was never designed
for.

By the way, I also looked at my XF86Config file from my Fedora Core 2
installation, but I'm not sure I'd now recommend what I found there.

Oddly, system-config-display still shows only 640x480 and 800x600
modes, although the display actually is 1024x768 at this moment
(verified by a screen capture). But that problem can wait.

There's the chance that the Boot sector (and various other Meta-Data
files (IIRC; $BITMAP, $MFT, etc)) can be stored "anywhere" on the HDD
(laced throughout). This is a likely occurence anyway, but even more-so
if one used a PXE type setup (option B above). Certain blocks of data
may become 'locked' and broken up into pieces. But, either way, the
swapfile can always be forced to the outer-most blocks.

I am no NTFS guru-type, and I could be mistaken about certain explicit

First thing to try is doing and fdisk/mbr and then booting to linux with
a cd to see what partitions are there and try mounting them. You then
might try to copy any important data to a linux partition and go from
there. Beyond that, you'd have to check the correlation between the fats
and the files themselves to see what's scrawed. If you don't know what
that means, don't do it and stop there maybe try doing a scandisk

Sometimes eth0 & eth1 swap in Fedora

Coming late into this thread I would like to add this to the discussion.
If it is not relevant the please disregard.


7.4.3.7. Device naming order changes randomly after rebooting

This is due to the fact that Udev, by design, handles uevents and loads
modules in parallel, and thus in an unpredictable order. This will never
be “fixed”. You should not rely upon the kernel device names being stable.
Instead, create your own rules that make symlinks with stable names based
on some stable attributes of the device, such as a serial number or the
output of various *_id utilities installed by Udev. See also the network
interface renaming example in Section 7.12, “Configuring the network
Script”.

7.12.1. Creating stable names for network interfaces

Instructions in this section are optional if you have only one network
card.
With Udev and modular network drivers, the network interface numbering is
not persistent across reboots by default, because the drivers are loaded in
parallel and, thus, in random order. For example, on a computer having two
network cards made by Intel and Realtek, the network card manufactured by
Intel may become eth0 and the Realtek card becomes eth1. In some cases,
after a reboot the cards get renumbered the other way around. To avoid
this, create Udev rules that assign stable names to network cards based on
their MAC addresses.
First, find out the MAC addresses of your network cards:
grep -H . /sys/class/net/*/address

For each network card (but not for the loopback interface), invent a
descriptive name, such as “realtek”, and create Udev rules similar to the
following:
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules << "EOF"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="52:54:00:12:34:56",
NAME="realtek"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SYSFS{address}=="00:a0:c9:78:9a:bc",
NAME="intel"
EOF

These rules will always rename the network cards to “realtek” and “intel”,
independently of the original numbering provided by the kernel. Use these
names instead of “eth0” in the network interface configuration files
created below.
Note
Persistent names must be different from the default network interface names
assigned by the kernel.

Large Scale Timeline workable?

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 09:17 AM PDT

Staceman,

If you have access to a plotter, that will be your best bet for printing the
fewest pages. You will still be constrained by the paper width the plotter
uses (i.e., multiple horizontal banners), but you should be able to go into
the Printer Properties and set up a custom paper size that best fits your
needs.

Hope this helps! :)

Unfortunately Project does not make the fields for split start and stop

on multiple tasks. If resources are assigned one method is to show the
Task Usage view and then manually manipulate the Work to create dead
time (i.e. splits) as desired. A second method is use VBA and set up a
loop for all tasks that are to be split. Within the loop use the Split
Method to establish split start and end times.

For some reason I thought the question was about how progress was computed

including non-working time would it not, same as the ProjDateAdd() function?

Documentation on Cost Rate Tables

Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:34 PM PDT

Others have answered your immediate question but adding my 2 cents, I'd
suggest you be extremely cautious about trying to track revenues in MS
Project. It's not an accounting or a time and billing application and
attemtping to use it as such is likely to be highly misleading, potentially
with disasterous results for your business. The costs it's tracking are
intended to be an estimate of your costs of doing the actual project work
and to monitor progress against that budget. What you bill your clients to
do the project for them also needs to include other overheads, rents, costs
of capital, depreciation, and profit margins - all factors that Project
essentially doesn't even know exist. If you try to track revenues in the
project through the use of custom fields, Project will post the cost of the
task against your budget when the task is worked and will assume the
revenues have been received as the work was performed, being paid instantly
as the customer's obligation is accrued. This is obviously not realistic.
Use Project for planning the schedule and estimating the project's costs -
it does a great job of that - but don't try to get it to do double duty as a
project accounting application as well. It just isn't the right tool for
that job.

Resource Allocation and how it works

Posted: 27 Jul 2005 01:21 PM PDT

Hi,

Allow me to bump in.
When you set Resource Leveling to Manual, after having applied all
improvements you can think of manually, you can still do leveling through
"Level Now".
That is the most used way to level.

You could edit the calendars of your resources to show that you are only

Newbie question

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 10:00 PM PDT

Thanks guys

I've got my team to read this. It's making sense to them as well. I'll
have to investigate levelling a little more.

We're getting around the variations by only scheduling 1 month at a time.
Our users priorities change too much to schedule more than that anyway. So
when people look at us as a resource, they will only see the next months
work. This might create problems in the long run, but it should work for now.

Thanks again.

Auto Calculating Fields

Posted: 26 Jul 2005 08:17 PM PDT

Hi,

Duration and cost are not custom fields.
Duration is roolled up in a sence that duration on the summary line reflects
the difference between start and finish (start of the ealiest task, end of
the latest). Indeed, sometimes changi,ng the duration of a task influences
duration of the summaryu task, sometimes it doesn't.

Fixed Cost is NOT rolled up to the summary lines, but Total cos ("Cost") is.
