Microsoft Word - Word for iPad won't list OneDrive Files

Word for iPad won't list OneDrive Files

Posted: 20 Jul 2014 07:35 AM PDT

I have been using OpenOffice on my Windows computer and OfficeSuite on my iPad since Microsoft Office was not available everywhere.  When Word for iPad came out, I purchased Office 365 and have it on my computer and iPad.  I am having trouble with my Word for iPad.  The app itself works fine, but I can't open my files on Onedrive (which is where I save my files so I can access them everywhere).  When I open Word for iPad and go to my OneDrive Documents, I get an error to check my internet connection (but only when I go to Documents, it works fine when I go to Music or Pictures or Recent Files), but I am connected.  Very annoying and I had to go back to OfficeSuite and will have to not renew my Office 365 if not fixed soon.  This has been a problem for months, and still not fixed.

heading automation in the header

Posted: 20 Jul 2014 01:23 AM PDT

Hej!

I have a problem with the automation of the headline.

In the header, I want the heading formatted with "heading 2". But, if there is no "heading 2" under "heading 1", there should be "heading 1" in the headline.

 

The following solutions with code fields are not working, I have already tried:
  • { STYLEREF "heading 2" } -->  I get the heading, e.g. 1.3, from the last chapter, when there is no subchapter in the following chapter (no subchapter 2.1).
  • IF { STYLEREF "heading 2"  \r \t } > { STYLEREF "heading 1" \r \t } "{ STYLEREF  "heading 2" }" "{ STYLEREF "heading 1" }" --> I get only "STYLEREF" in the header
  • IF { COMPARE { STYLEREF "heading 2" \r \t } > { STYLEREF "heading 1" \r \t} } = 1 "{ STYLEREF "heading 2" } " "{ STYLEREF "heading 1" }" --> I get "COMPARE" in the header

I hope you could help me finding a solution!

Thank you!

Something went Wrong Error // Tried Everything!

For some odd reason, I can't open any of my Microsoft products like Word, Note, Excel, and ect ect. I have tried the whole restarting my computer (about four times), doing the whole change and repair online junk, and I have even tried to uninstall it. Nothing works, and this is quite upsetting because I need these programs... :c

Update Citations and Bibliography column width issue

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 09:11 PM PDT

Hi,

I keep having issues when updating my citation list. As you can see the Column Cells on the left tend to break. I have been manually realigning the column. This works temporarily, but once updated it goes back to the column breaks.

I have looked through all the settings, and have tried editing the table, but keep having the same problem.

Is there a way to customize the Citation Lists? 

Thank you

TOC using sequential numbers from heading style

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 08:24 PM PDT

Greetings,

Creating a songbook. All the songs have headings; the headings have a defined style, which includes sequential numbering. I want the TOC to show me the name of the song and its number in the sequence; the page number is irrelevant in this situation as there is more than one song on a page (and the pages really aren't numbered). Is there a way to create a TOC from this heading style that will use the heading number and ignore the page number?

Thanks

Word 2013 cannot open or save a .doc file

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 08:18 PM PDT

HELP! All of a sudden, my Word 2013, running in Windows 7, is unable to open an existing document or save a new document in .doc format. If I try to open an existing .DOC document, I get the dialog box:

<filename> is locked for editing by 'another user'. Do you want to:

 open a read only copy

 create a local copy and merge your changes later

 receive notification when the original copy is available.

No matter which option I choose, I get the message "Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions..." Note these are not shared documents and are stored on my workstation.

If I create a new document and try to save it as a .doc file, I get the message:

The save failed due to out of memory or disk space.

I CAN open and save files as .DOCX.

I appear to be having similar problems opening or saving Excel spreadsheets in .XLS format.

Until three days ago, everything was fine. No new apps have been installed. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem (and what might have caused it)? Thanks for your suggestions.

Embedded Excel chart is skewed in Microsoft Word 10

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 07:39 PM PDT

Hi, I have inserted an Excel chart using Past Special - Microsoft Excel Binary Worksheet Object into Word10 and only part of the chart is displayed.  When I double click the chart in Word, the entire copied area is shown, however when I go back to the doc, only part of the chart is shown.  Part of the chart is cut out and not displayed at all.  

The same goes with existing document that already has an embedded Excel chart.  When the doc open for the first time, the chart would be displayed correctly.  However if I click on the chart, and then click back out, part of the chart will be cut out and not displayed.  There's no way I can get it to go back to the original state to show everything afterwards.

This is very frustrating and I am almost to the point of abandoning Excel and just type the data in a table in Word and manually do the calculations.

Word "Recovers" Files by Reverting to Older Versions - Complete Disaster - Can't save anything

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 04:16 PM PDT

Word keeps reverting back to older versions of my files, telling me that it has "recovered" them.  There have been no crashes of Windows or of MS Word.  Still it does this _EVERY_ time I re-open an existing file.  I only had one file that I wanted to work on when I started.  This developed into numerous "recovered" files presented in a list which makes no distinction between any of them.  They all had the same name.  So every time I opened Word, I was confronted with a list of papers that all had the same name.  If I click on any of them I am shown an old document to which I had subsequently made numerous changes over a period of time - changes which are not present.  It then asks me whether I want to save the changes that I made - EVEN when I have made no changes, but have simply opened the document to see which one it is.  Since it started doing this repeatedly, I copied and pasted the contents of the document into a new file so that I could at least tell the more recent "recoveries" from the older ones.  This didn't stop the "recovery" behavior, however.

Once I have a document open, I can see a list of documents with different dates/times (spread out over a couple weeks).  I have opened up every single one and they are all identical.


I just paid for this program (much to my regret) before starting to use it to work on this very document and it this is the ONLY behavior that I have witnessed it perform.

Quote Template Question

Posted: 15 Mar 2005 10:55 AM PST

Got a reply back from Ternek Christian to change the return above the table
to 1 pt. Also ensured the paragraph formatting was 0/0 paragraph spacing and
single line spacing on both.

I also changed the one after the product table. Looks fine in Print Layout
with what appears to be a 1 pt gap, BUTwhen I view it in Print Preview or
print it, the first product and the Title row are 1 point joined, but the
other products again have a bigger gap! So what do I do now?

Any suggestions would be helpful as we really want to use this feature to
print out our quotes, without resorting to a third-party product at this time.

Thanks so much!

Using slugs like this is very picky. The syntax needs to be absolutely
correct, and it is often case senstive. The table names and field names
should be taken from schema manager, not SQL server. You can also check the
field names by looking at the customise form view of the object in question
under the schema tab.

Chat with a MSFT expert about CRM performance, Mar 15-17, HERE!

Posted: 14 Mar 2005 01:51 PM PST

The problem for us with regard to pinpointing the issue is that we can
"predict" it. It happens after a couple of days. Also other web applications
on the server do not have any problems which makes us suspect SQL but we
cannot see any processor usage above normal (10-15%).

w3wp.exe takes up about 450MB RAM.

The other bizarre thing that often happens with this issue is that sometimes
we can "read" (view records) but if we try to save the record after making a
change the system will hang and then we have to restart SQL to get it to
work again.

There are about 35 users. CRM Server has 2GB RAM, on a dual proc server.
(Zeon - not sure of exact speed right now)

SQL is running 2GB RAM on a single processor box. But we are upgrading that
this weekend.

Lisa,

Is this user the same user that you installed the operating system or SQL
with? If so not a good idea, make a new user with domain rights and log on
as that new user for the install.

Apart from that I think Paul was right in suggesting the AD in Native mode.
You can find this, START - Programs - Admin Tools - Active Directory Domain
and Trusts.
To check right click your domain and select properties.
To change right click your domain and select "Raise Domain Functional Level"
Then select native mode.

We have done several installs including our setup with SQL DNS CRM Exchange
AD, the lot and have had minimal to no issues. Have been running for a while
now without any problems. Not ruling out the timout factor as if you dont
have sufficient hardware this could also be the case.
What hardware are you running?

Good Luck!

Nathan

Word 2013 won't recognize printer envelope tray

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 02:10 PM PDT

I'm running Word 2013 in a Windows 8.1 environment with an Epson 4540 printer. I also happen to be running Word 2010 on Windows 7 on another laptop computer. While it's no issue having the older system print envelopes, I cannot get Word 2013 to recognize that I have not only 2 printer trays but a top slot for envelopes on the Epson. They're simply not there so I can't even do a manual change to the proper tray. I looked through the "help" stuff and all it told me was that Word 2013 magically knows which printer tray to use. Except it doesn't.

I have tried reloading the printer driver, to no success. Epson's help people say this is a Word issue. If that's truly the case, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Problem opening existing document

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 10:08 AM PDT

For some time now I've had problems opening existing documents.  It seems to be in all programs not just Word.  When I try and open something I get a windows installer message come up which then freezes everything and I have to log out and unable to install anything. Sometimes I am able to look 'on line'/open on-line when given the option and carry out limited editing .  Also can't save to existing folder, etc and end up having to use OneDrive if sending an attachment. I have Office 2007 installed and Vista on my Dell lap-top.  Has anyone ideas on what the problem may be and how to fix it.  I'm thinking it may be due to a Windows up-date.  Many thanks. Mandy

MS Office 2013 Has stopped working

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 09:29 AM PDT

Running Windows 7 Enterprise on Lenovo x240, everything is fully patched (BIOS, OS, Drivers, Office) in the attempt to solve this problem.

The office pack has been uninstalled and reinstalled + all windows updates.

I have removed all COM-Addin as recommended in other threads, all Non- Microsoft services are disabled during startup. I have uninstalled DisplayLink drivers and updated to latest version. The crash seems to be not influenced by the DisplayLink driver (same wether it is installed or not). Nothing helps.

Any of the Office application has the same problem.

Open a new document (empty template), click the FILE tab and the application crashes.

If a document is modified before clicking the FILE tab, it does not crash until either Save or Save As functions are clicked.

The problem is 100% reproducable - it is consistently failing.

I have now spend more than 4 hours trying all sorts of recommendations, I am now out of options. Please help!

Hello! I have never had trouble with Microsoft Word 2007-- I've found it to be a great and reliable program! However, just in the past two weeks, it's been freezing and "not responding" pretty much every day. I'm just wondering why this is suddenly happening and if there's some kind of update that I need to do in order to fix it. It seems strange to go from never having this problem to having it daily.

Apply changes in a Template to documents - quickly

Posted: 19 Jul 2014 05:39 AM PDT

Is it possible to propogate a change in a template to the suite of documents that we based on that template.

Scenario: a style in the template has been modified. How to quickly apply that change to the documents that were based on that template.

Usually I go to Style Pane, Manage Styles, Import/Export, Close Normal.dotm, Open the template in question (that had the modification), find the style(s) (or select old) that was changed, and Copy over to the document.

Not handy when there could be hundreds of documents based on that template.

Trying to copy from excel and Paste Hyperlink into a Word document...keep getting too much space in document

Posted: 18 Jul 2014 03:57 PM PDT

Ok, I have searched for an answer to this, but even MrExcel failed me on this one. :)

I am trying to take information gathered in Excel, and then transfer the information into a report template in Word. 

For example, say a field consultant goes on a visit and meets with Mr. Tucker, president of Kelly's Heroes, on July 18, 2014.  I want the consultant to be able to take their tablet, and using Excel, enter all of that into individual cells such as

Contact

Mr. Tucker
Title President
Company name Kelly's Heroes
Date of visit July 18, 2014

Now, in the Word document, I am trying to set up a template where this information can be transferred into a report to be sent out to a given business.  So, I have been trying to copy from Excel and "Paste Hyperlink" into Word.  I have tried to paste link as RTF, unformatted, HTML format,... nothing eliminates a hard return and space around the pasted information.

Let's say I want to incorporate the date into a sentence.  I want to say, "Mr. Tucker, this report covers the visit made to your company, Kelly's Heroes, on July 18, 2014."

What I get is

Mr. Tucker

, this report covers the visit made to your company,

Kelly's Heroes

, on

Friday, July 18, 2014

John,

Unfortunately I have not worked with Project for years and I have forgotten
a lot. Thank you for your time in responding to my question. I will look
into the link that you sent also.

Hierarchy structure in MS Project

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 05:12 AM PDT

schemr --

In the Enterprise Global file, create a new custom enterprise Project
outline code called Sales Manager. Make this a required field and list all
of our sales managers in the outline code structure. Save and close the
Enterprise Global and then exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional.
Ask each PM to open all of his/her projects and click Project - Project
Information, select the Sales Manager for each project, and then save and
publish each project using Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan. Add the
new Sales Manager field to each Project Center view in PWA. You might also
want to create a custom Project Center view called Sales Manager that has
grouping applied by default on this outline code. You might also want to
create a custom Portfolio Analyzer view that summarizes project data by the
Sales Manager outline code.

After you and the PM's complete the above series of steps, anyone who can
view the Project Center page will be able to apply grouping or sorting on
the Sales Manager outline code. Hope this helps.

multiple baseline compare

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 01:33 AM PDT

Hi,

1. To compare two dates (for instance two baselinestartx)
Tools, Customize, Fields, select a number field
Activate Formula
[Baselinestartx]-[Baselinestarty] returns a value in days
projdatediff( [],[], Calendar name) returns a value in minutes
When you select a duration field projdatediff will be expressed in the
normal duration units

2. To show nonstandard bars in the Gantt Chart (such as haveing a hape to
indicate Baselinestart7 or a bar between baselinestart5 and Start)
see
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

Printing reports with a date range

Posted: 17 Aug 2005 11:24 AM PDT

LadyBean01,
You are correct that Date Range filters out the tasks.
To get the timephased info you are looking for, try temporarily
changing your project start date to June 1. >Project, >Project
Information

Hope this helps!

Hi,

All of this is perfectly possible without Project Server, even in Project
Standard, but not knowing Project Server very well I hesitate to gieve a
recipe in a Server environment.

You could set the status date to equal the date the work will resume for
this project and then hit the 'Reschedule' button on the Tracking Toolbar.
This will move the unfinished portions of all tasks so that they start
after the new status date.

Managing Time Worked

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 01:16 PM PDT

I know it happens a lot and can't quite figure out why. If clients like
yours don't want to take advantage of the greatly enhanced business controls
detailed project management that using tools like Project server can
provide, why buy it at all? It seems rather like buying a Ferrari racing
car and never driving it over 25km/hr. Sure one can do it, but why in the
world would you WANT to, what's the point of spending the money and never
fully exploiting what you've paid for?

how do i display week numbers in project?

Rompie,
I have probably heard of ISO week numbers but have never used them. I
also do not use Outlook. Because one MS application (or even several of
them) can do a particular thing doesn't mean all MS applications can do
it. A good example is that in Excel individual Worksheet cells can be
formatted. We get many posts in the Project newsgroup asking how that
can be done in Project, particularly in either of the Usage views.
Unfortunately individual field cell formatting is not an option in
Project.

The only formatting available for the timescale in Project is that
available in the selection lists for Units and labels found in the
Timescale edit window. That window can be accessed by either double
clicking on the timescale or by going to Format/Timescale.

Hope this helps.

Rookie question

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 12:04 PM PDT

Project works with Tasks and Resources.
When a resource is working on a task it is called an assignment.
Assignments consist of an amount of work that the resource is going to do on
that specific task.
The work on a task consists of the sum of work in all assignments.
When the resource assignment is removed, then that work is removed.
Work represents the number of resource hours/days/weeks/minutes that is
being expended.
Further Project uses the equation Work = Duration * Units to determine what
work is.
Units refers to the number of resource units.
Altering one of the values in the equation will affect at least one of the
other values.
You can see that an increase in work will require a proportional increase in
duration or Units.

Custom Milestone not working

DBD,
You're welcome. I think the approach of treating the meeting itself as a
separate task and the milestone as the completion of that task will work
much better in the long run.

Remaining hours extending project

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 10:56 AM PDT

Think about it for a minute - the duration HAS to change. Joe was assigned
100% to a task that would take 5 days. He worked 3 days and then estimates
that there are still 4 days of work to do, the original 5 day estimate was
off. You really only have 2 choices. He either works 8 hours a day for 4
days to do the required work, extending the curation to a total of 7 days in
the process, or he somehow magically gets the 4 days of remaining work
accomplished in the 2 days of time left in the the original duration,
generating 16 hours of work during each 8 hour workday thus working at 200%
allocation. But that's actually not possible - 100% means the resource is
already working as fast as they can possibly work and the only way you
really can exceeed that is to get someone else to work along with him to
carry part of the load. There really aren't any other physical ways that
scene could play out.

Hi Schemir,

this approach can be used if you have project server.

Views with Gantt Chart Wizard.

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 09:23 AM PDT


Hi Dave,

You could create a new private project. Create your views there and then
transfer them via the Organizer to the working projects. Then, if one gets
changed significantly, you can recover it from your private project.

Did you make the dependency from the start of the milestone to the start of
the task or the other way around?
The first should work. The second will give the result you describe.
