Hi Dave,

Not as such.
You could create a VBA form to allow selection through a Macro but a true
Value list, No.

Adding a predecessor does not change date?

Posted: 29 Jul 2005 10:22 PM PDT

You have indeed mentioned the sort of situations an SNET is designed for.
I'd prefer to use "semi-hard" constraints rather than say the dates are set
in stone. You can't begin a task until the required tools arrive so that
part is certain, BUT you could begin later if other circumstances conspire
to make it impossible to start as soon as the tools show up. A hard
constraint, Must Start On, says the task *WILL* start on that date, no if's,
and's or but's and there is absolutely nothing in the universe, no
eventuality known to man or action of anyone working on the project would
make it start otherwise. Short of acts of nature that just doesn't happen
very often.

Remember to set the baseline first as well. That will calculate your 10h

Customised reporting

Posted: 29 Jul 2005 06:57 AM PDT

Hi John,
I got someone to knock up the macro below and it has succeeded in enabling
me to add the custom columns in resource usage view. However, when I run it,
it only seems to populate the info on the very first line (against the
resource.) All the tasks are listed below but the rest of the fields
associated with them are empty. The tasks are also strangely listed under the
resource name column. Nearly there, so a bit frustrating! Any suggestions
appreciated.

....
Dim t As Task
Dim r As Resource

On Error Resume Next
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
For Each r In t.Resources
r.Text1 = t.Text1
r.Text2 = t.Text2
r.Text3 = t.Text3
r.Text4 = t.Text4
r.Text5 = t.Text5
r.Text6 = t.Text6
r.Text7 = t.Text7

Resource < 100%

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 03:37 PM PDT

Hi Thomas,

One can't be everything to all people...
As you say, the 100% approach works for scheduling, and it makes optimum use
of resource leveling.
I heard the remark about reporting before... a partial solution is to only
show for time registratiuon the tasks planned to start say within next
fortnight.

A customer of mine had an other solution... All "permanent" tasks were
entered with percentages
(f.i. 5% administration, 7% meeting) but then ALL other tasks (the
productive taks) were entered with an 88% load (never 25 or 6 or 49) - that
makes a lot of sense!

Greetings,

Setting unchangeable start & end project and task dates

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 02:35 PM PDT

You could remove all predecessor/successor links, set all task start dates
manually, set all tasks to Fixed Duration, and then edit the durations to
achieve the Finish Dates you want.

Voila! You have just disabled the key functionality of Project.

It might be easier just to use Excel, Visio, or PowerPoint to create such
static plans. The puspose of Project is to help you make and manage rational
project plans. If you already know that everything is going to happen
exactly according to the original plan, then you do not need a dynamic
scheduling tool such as Project.

Print a range within one section of a document that has multiple section breaks

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 02:42 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a document that has 5 section breaks.  When I print a page range, it does either two things (1) prints the page range of each section or (2) prints the entire document.

I've also tried using the p#s# format and it didn't print.  I"ve change printers and nothing happened.  For example I want to print page 27-37 of section 1, so I input the following [p27s1-p37s1].  NOthing came out.

I have Windows 2010 with operating system of Window 7 Enterprise.

Appreciate any help.

Cannot create subfolders

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 01:50 PM PDT

I had a starter Office on my computer which did not allow me to add subfolders after the first month.  I bought the new one so I could have subfolders and NOT use the cloud or have them accessing my files.  Not being able to form subfolders on the hard drive or a thumb drive is just so ridiculous - and it sounds like there is no fix!!  What a waste of time.  Having all the recipes on the main list is so distracting.  BAckup is going to be miserable as well.

This computer has windows 7 so Windows 8 is not the problem.

Linked information malfunction

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 01:09 PM PDT

Losing template on network using Office 365

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 12:36 PM PDT

In my office, several people are working on a Word document using Office 365. The document template is offline. Today, one of the writers came to me when the heading numbering (1. ,1.1, 1.1.1.) had disappeared from the headings. I was able to quickly restore the numbering by reattaching the heading list style from the template, because she has access to the template.

She then recommended that the others refresh their documents. In the one case I am aware of, the refresh caused a different set of headings to appear in the styles list and document, with a different indent, a bullet in place of the 1 in Level 1, and other symbols in lower levels. In this person's style list, there appears an additional level one heading style with the characteristics that appear to be affecting the rest. From this person's computer, I cannot navigate to the template; I restrict template access for obvious reasons.

So, she, and perhaps the others, are getting at least some styles from somewhere else, and that's the mystery to me. The spurious heading may well have been pasted in by one of the writers from another document, and perhaps that threw off the whole list, though that seems strange. In any case, I would like to know if there is a way to keep the documents on the network attached to the template, without giving the writers access to it, other than, if necessary, to update styles.

Is there a way to do this? Is some other known action or bug at work here? I'd like to understand the problem better.

"Do you want to save changes you made" But No Changes Were Made

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 11:18 AM PDT

How do I find out what is causing Word 2010 to ask me "Do you want to save changes you made ..." when I made no changes at all. I simply open my document, look at it, do nothing else, and when I close the document Word asks "Do you want to save changes you made".

My document contains no (none at all):

  • fields of any kind
  • macros
  • calculations
  • page numbers
  • hyperlinks, bookmarks, cross-references

I did not receive this document from anyone else or any other place. I created the document myself on the same computer I use to open it.

The document consists of a title and a two-column table. The first column contains whole numbers without a decimal point and the second column contains whole numbers with a decimal point. There are no mathematical symbols at all.

How do I find out what is causing Word to do this?

How to hide and unhide different tables in Microsoft Word 2013?

Arabic fonts; XB Shiraz/XB Sols; dots and other signs half disappearing.

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 06:09 AM PDT

Recently I've been typing some Arabic texts and I've been faced with some issues.

  • When using the XB Shiraz font, some dots disappear. I've tried augmenting spacing between lines but they won't reappear.

  • I've encountered a similar problem with kasrah while using XB Sols. In the image you can see Shiraz up and below its equivalent in Sols, with the almost completely concealed kasrahs.

Do you have any suggestion on how can I fix this? It isn't an issue only with these two fonts, it also occurs with any font which reaches a little to low below a normal Latin script line.

Microsoft Word Font for Commercial Use - Stationery Design Business

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 02:20 AM PDT

Hi,

I own an event styling business and am wanting to incorporate stationery design into my service range. I have created several design samples using various Microsoft Word fonts. The samples are printed and therefore do not allow the font to be extracted. I am also hoping to eventually sell packs of invitations/cards using similar designs and fonts. Before I launch the service however, I wanted to clarify whether it is permissible to use Microsoft Word font for this purpose? 

The articles/forums I have found on this subject do not provide a clear answer. I have also read that you can use all of the fonts included in Microsoft Home and Business on a commercial basis. I just wanted to confirm whether this was correct though before I purchased the software. I am currently using Word 2010.

if someone could get back to me ASAP to provide an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Tessa

Upgrade from Microsoft 2007 to 2010

Posted: 08 Jul 2014 02:12 AM PDT

I was one of the lucky people who when purchasing my Office 2007 & Outlook 2007 was within a time period where I could upgrade to 2010.

I purchased a new computer and as I had licences on Office 2007 simply used the CD to install onto my new computer. I have now realised that whilst I have a newer computer, I am now on version 2007.

Is there anything that I can do in order to go back to 2010 without purchasing it.

Wrap Text change makes pictures go wonky

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 10:56 PM PDT

Wrapping text with using Word 2013 and Windows 8 - I insert a picture into text using the default format - say "in line with text" and the picture is fine.   I can copy that picture within the text and it is fine - but If I try, within the document, to alter the wrap style of a picture I have inserted using the default - so I right click the picture and use the side box to choose another wrap style the picture goes wonky - like an interference pattern - particularly noticeable if there are parallel lines such as building weatherboards.   Please help anyone who has any ideas.  Many Thanks

I have a locked Word Form that contains a series of macros.  I have saved the file as a Macro Enabled Template.

I created a new document based upon the template.  I saved the document I created as a Macro Enabled Document. 

I copied the Macro Enabled Document onto a swap drive and then copied the Macro Enabled Document from the swap drive onto a laptop computer. 

When I open the document on the laptop, all the macros are gone.

The macro security settings on both computers are set to "Disable all macros with notification."  When I opened the file on the Laptop, I did not see the usual security warning asking we If I want to "Enable Content".

Any ideas on trouble shooting this issue will be appreciated.

Word VBA for drop down field - enter first letter to see a selection that begins with that letter

Hello ,

I have a Drop Down form field with a list of cities.

Is it possible with VBA code to automate the drop down field so that when a user Tabs into the field, if they type the first letter of the city they desire, the list will display the city that begins with that letter?  (Then ideally, with the desired city chosen, the user can Tab out of the field to select the displayed city.)

Outer most table boarder in the footer does not display and align with the upper body boarder.

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 10:44 AM PDT

I have a A4 Word 2013 Sheet with a header, body and footer. I have a table in the header and footer. The page boarder goes from the Top header down to the beginning of the footer. Activating the footer and bringing the table boarder up to the height of the body boarder hides the table boarder in the footer. If I print the page the table boarder in the footer is missing (compare attached picture, lower right corner)?

After trying all kind of settings I could not get to show the outer most table boarder to display aligned with the upper body boarder. This looks very much like an error within word 2013. How can I make sure that the outer most table boarder is aligned with the upper boarder and make sure that it is actually displayed?

Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you.

word 2007 gone mad

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hi all, i hope someone can help because i have exhausted my limited knowledge and am about to through the pc through the window.I installed the Windows 7 upgrade and purchased the MS Office home and student 2007 (upgrade from the Vista 32 bit system, on a Dell HP2159v) back in 2009 and have had no problems until last week.

Whilst trying to design my parents 60th anniversary invitations, i experimented with a few designs and saved them to the desktop as a word 93 - 2007 document - pretty standard procedure.

When i went back to print them off for comparison the next day i was stunned to find i could not open the documents from the desktop file. The Pc honked at me and gave me an error message saying there was a problem sending the command to the program. A blank word page came up (no paper).

I could open the document if i went into the folder icon on the blank page. Only 2 out of 4 documents had saved as they had been written.

The other 2 had completely diffferent formatting and had saved in wps.

I have tried researching how to get the program back to how it was. I have run office diagnostics which does not show up a fault. Tried MS fixit tool. Re loaded the home student disc and ran a repair on word 2007

Downloaded the Dell pc support tool which does not complete its diagnostics or present the report. It does show the SMART short self test failed, whatever that is.

I have checked in the devices and printer and checked the right printer is being used. Searched online for fixes to no avail.

All of the usual fixes have had no effect and i have finally run out of ideas and patience.

If anyone out there can help i would appreciate it immensely.

I managed a work around to get at the invitations and print them off, but it is time consumming and stressful.

thanks for any help offered.

 

Can not open word document

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 08:15 AM PDT

There is insufficient memory disk space. Word cannot displayhe requested font

Print does not correspond to print preview with complex script

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:44 AM PDT

I have a Word document in Syriac which looks just as I want it on the Print Preview screen; but when I print it, either to my printer or to pdf, strange things happen. In particular, some whole lines become white space. Some other lines have words omitted.  Here is one page, first the Print Preview (a screen shot):

And here is the pdf (also a screen shot):

You can see that the first line is partly erased, and the second line completely erased, and the same for a line 6 lines up from the bottom. I am mystified by this and would welcome help. There are other discrepancies between preview and print too, but if I knew what was going on here, it would perhaps resolve them all.

Headings not showing in TOC if in a table

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:35 AM PDT

I am creating a document that is largely built of content displayed in tables (to keep spacing, etc consistent).  When I change the font to Heading 1, Heading 2, etc it changes the format of the font but does not pick up that text for the table of contents.

If I split the table and format to a Heading all is well, but it seems like an unneeded step.  Is there a way to have Word 2013 pick up Headings within a table?

Image content control & restrict editing -> conflict

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:31 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set an Image content control on a word document with editing restriction. The image content control itself is in a TextBox.

The content control works fine, but when I try to use the restriction I've got a problem. In the restrictions tab, I choose no modification and I add an exception for my image content control for all users. As soon as I check this, the picture disappears. It wont display even when I enable the protection. The picture is still there, it's just not displayed. If I resize the picture I can see it, but when I drop the cursor it disappears again.

I really need my users to be able to see the pictures, I've searched on the Web and tried many things but I was not able to find a workaround.

I would be really pleased if someone knows a way to make it work. Thanks in advance.

Split screen bug in Word 2013?

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 04:33 AM PDT

I routinely split the screen vertically so I can see part of a document in a top pane and another part of the same document in the bottom pane.  I do this using the Alt+Ctrl+S command.  In previous versions of Word, when I did this, it would just split the document as it was shown on the screen (e.g., if page 3 is being displayed, both the top and bottom portions of the screen would still be page 3 after the split).  

Now, in Word 2013, when I split the screen, the bottom pane always returns to the very top of the document.  This is incredibly frustrating as I now how to find where I was in the bottom pane.  Is this a bug, or is it a configurable setting? 

My Microsoft Spell Checker is not working right. Not highlighting correct spellings

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 01:34 AM PDT

Hi. Whilst I love the spell check function on MS Word. I spell a word wrong, it 'underlines' it in red, I see it, go back and correct it. However, their seems to be a problem. Whilst it highlights/underlines the words I have typed wrong in red, it is only highlighting/underlining just a small fraction of the correct words (in green). Ive made sure the settings are correct (English US) but I dont no what the issue is. 

 I cant see a pattern too it. The green underlining only appears on a few words. So I get a few words in each sentence that are wrong (underlined in red) and that I need to correct, a few underlined in green which are correct and then the rest are not underlined. This is crazy. How come MS Word cant seeall the correct words but can see all the incorrect ones? Dont no how too fix this in the settings, I'm sure its simple but please help.

Cannot see font color in Word 2013

Posted: 07 Jul 2014 12:35 AM PDT

I just installed Office 365 for students, which is supposed to have Word 2013. In the previous version (Word 2007) I put a lot of font color in the document but now in Word 2013 I see none of this color. All fonts are put in the default color. How can I get my color back? 

Thanks.

Text to Speech not working in Word 2010

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:38 PM PDT

TTS has stopped working in my copy of 2010 Word (where I use it as a proofing tool for my books). My OS is Windows 8.1 and my computer is a Dell Inspiron 660. I've tried many of the remedies suggested via Microsoft forums, etc. including running sfc (no errors found), opening the tts "Speech Properties" control (got the "This voice cannot be played." error message), and uninstalling and reinstalling my copy of Office Home and Student 2010. Unfortunately, nothing I tried worked. I also contacted MS support and was informed by the otherwise nice tech that the problem could easily be fixed by paying a fee ($99-$149). Can't afford that right now so I said thanks but no.  Is there any method of downloading and restoring the TTS engine, specifically? I have a hunch this database has been corrupted or some such. Thanks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the "Speak" button in the Quick Action Toolbar stays "on" when I press it and won't turn off until I press it again. Normally, I'll select the text and press Speak. The text will be read aloud and then the button will reset itself. I have no idea if that means anything or not.

Footnotes form single character column at right of page

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:03 PM PDT

I'm creating a document with footnotes at the bottom of pages. Suddenly in the middle of the document the footnotes go from being normal to being a single column of characters down the right hand side of the page. I.e. they are written vertically with each character in the foot note taking up a line. Here is a screen shot of the first instance:

Can anyone give an explanation for this and an idea of how to fix it?

Thanks,

Ted

Can't open Microsoft Word

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 08:03 PM PDT

When I try to open Word, or a Word document, I get a window saying that Microsoft Word has encountered an error and has to close, with an option to "Repair Now'.  When I click on 'Repair now' nothing happens. When I close Word and re-open it I get the same window; the same when I re-boot my PC.  What is happening?  How can I get Word to open?  Thank you. Kevin

Tracking changes in windows 2013 from a document that was converted form word 2007

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 06:53 PM PDT

Hi everyone:

I have a paper that was originally written on 2007 word and was converted to word 2013 once I purchased my new computer.  I have made myself the author under options - general settings and unchecked the box that said "always use these values regardless of sign in"

I signed out of word with my Microsoft id, placed my user name as "Author", and updated my initials. When I ask to "track changes", nothing is happening.

Can someone please help?

Word 2013 is pure garbage which will want to make you throw your keyboard out of the window

Posted: 06 Jul 2014 05:02 PM PDT

Back in my college days, I loved Microsoft Word. 

I used it for virtually everything I needed reduced to type.  Letters, term papers, essays and even articles for the school newspaper were a dream to type on Word.  Recently I allowed my office to switch over from Wordperfect to Word 2013, because my new office management software would not integrate with Wordperfect.

How bad could it be, I thought.

What a complete disaster.  It's not bad enough that I have to hear my employees complain daily about how bad this program is. I have to deal with it myself.

What a piece of sh-t.  The autoformating garbage will make you want to scream the very first day you use it.  Then as you learn to deal with it, you find that the program is defective, in that it will not let you change the settings it purports to enable you to change.

For example, on Friday my office manager came in to my office, frustrated that she tried to change the layout of a document from portrait to landscape.  She went to the settings and changed "portrait" to "landscape," but word simply kept printing it out the same way, ignoring the change.

Today, I tried to revise a document, including removing the page numbers at the bottom.  I went to the settings and checked-off remove page numbers.  Word ignored it, and will not permit me to remove the page numbers.  I can't believe that I just paid for word processing software for multiple computers in my office, and it will not let us choose whether or not to have page numbers in our documents.  They must be kidding with this sh-t.

I can't believe how they have turned what used to be a great program into a complete piece of garbage.

It is so bad, that I am actually considering finding NEW office management software, just so I can get rid of Word.

If anyone is considering changing over from Wordperfect to Word, DON'T.  You will regret it!

Oh, yeah, and don't even get me started on Window's 8 a/k/a the dumbest OS ever shoved down the throats of computer users.  I'm glad I bought a single laptop computer with Windows 8 to try it out before making a decision of whether or not to load it onto all of my office computers.  Thank god.  Returned the laptop because of that piece of cr-p windows 8.    The only thing I can conclude is that whoever is now running things at Microsoft must be perpetually high on crack, or is taking bribes from Apple to cause Microsoft to pump out software that is so bad that people will switch over to Macs out of sheer frustration.
