Desktop Icons

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 02:43 PM PDT

What does the exclamation mark in a red circle indicate when it appears in the desktop icon for a word document? Never seen it before, but today it has started appearing on icons for all newly created files.

Update

The same exclamation mark now appears on all office document icons on the desktop. When files are moved to a folder the exclamation mark disappears but reappears when the document is moved back to the desktop.

Issue with Creating Individual Borders around Text

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 12:12 PM PDT

I've run into this issue recently and I've found no solutions online so far.

I try to follow the directions outlined here for putting borders around lines of text. I expect to be able to select the text, add a bottom border, and then apply it to just that section of the text. Instead, it creates a complete border box around the text no mater what individual border button I click (left, right, top, bottom). It either has a full border or it has no border; I can't draw individual boarders at all. If I apply the boarder to the whole paragraph, then I'm suddenly able to select top and bottom borders normally.

order of mail merge with labels

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 11:06 AM PDT

I'm trying to use the label format for a mail merge to create a directory listing.  The template is about the right size.  Is there a way I can get the data to sort alphabetically going vertically down the columns, rather than horizontally across the rows?

print 2 of same page on one sheet of paper

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 10:24 AM PDT

I have typed text into Word 2013 document.  The text fills only half of a landscape normal size sheet of paper.  I would like to duplicate this text on the other half of the sheet.  When I set "2 pages per sheet" in the page layout section, I do get text on only half the page, but the second sheet in on a second piece of paper leaving the right half of the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet blank.

Is there any way to duplicate the text on the left side so that it prints on the right side?  

I know that I can accomplish this in Publisher.  Just wondering if I can accomplish this in Word.

bookmark causing Word 2010 doc to lock

Word 2010 crashes when opening a text (.txt) file

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 09:31 AM PDT

I am using Office 2010 with Windows 7(64) with all current updates.  All drivers are also current.  When I try to open a text file (*.txt) in Word, the program crashes.  I have tried a new Normal.dotm and I have run a repair of Office.  Does anybody have any ideas about this?

How can I install the math symbol library in word?

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 09:05 AM PDT

This is what my word displays instead of formulas created with a good version of word.

Already uninstalled and installed the program, it keeps not working. You can see on image top that symbols lack in the computer library, and it's not a matter of corruption of the file. Also my math input panel does not display correctly symbols. Any suggestions? Do you know  how can I install the symbols libraries?

Can't apply Heading 2 style to first item in the list

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 08:44 AM PDT

I've defined the heading 1 and heading 2 styles for the top 2 levels of headings (and others below). I'm having trouble with numbering and indents/alignment, which I suspect are related. 

Heading 1: Capital letters off in the left margin; text starts at 0

Heading 2: Numbers at 0 (aligned with text of heading 1), text at .25". 

For #1 in each section (the first "heading 2"), Word is mysteriously indenting everything an additional .25". (This is a problem because .25" to the right is where heading 3 is.) With other "heading 2" numbers -- 2, 3, 4, etc. -- I am able to move manually by dragging the markers in the ruler. With #1, though, even if I drag the markers in the ruler, it doesn't move. If I update heading 2 to match the selection at #2 or #3 (in its proper location), the change applies to all of the heading 2s throughout the document -- except all of the first ones (the # "1"). I've tried inserting a line of "Normal" style text between the heading 1 & heading 2 to make sure heading 2 formatting isn't affected by something about heading 1. 

How can I get the first "heading 2" (e.g., "1.   Introduction") to have the same positioning as the other "heading 2" items? Thanks!

Not sure if this is relevant: I need to keep telling Word to restart numbering at 1 in each section. It says it'll update the style "heading 2" and apply the style to each paragraph, which is fine. 


Regular (roman) character style doesn't change text to roman

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 08:25 AM PDT

I have a paragraph that uses a paragraph style that makes the entire paragraph italic (among other things). I want the first word to be roman. I would prefer to use a style for this, because the client may change her mind, and it's easier to change the style than it would be to change every occurrence of the style. So I made a character style that sets the font, makes it not bold and not italic. I even cleared direct formatting by selecting the paragraph and pressing CTRL spacebar. But when I apply the character style to the first word, it remains italic.

How do I make a character style that will change italic text to roman?

Prevent Mail Merge from Printing Unwanted Labels

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 06:18 AM PDT

Hi there,

I have a small problem relating to printing a Mail merge from Excel 2007 using Word 2007.

I am selling on Amazon & eBay. When printing our labels we print on A4 sheets which have 8 labels per sheet. I start printing by going to finish and merge and then entering the record numbers from the excel spreadsheet.

Most days we have orders which do not add up to multiples of 8. Therefore, the last sheet usually has a few labels with addresses and the rest are empty. However, the labels which do not have addresses on them still have the postage label and our company logo. 

Please see image below; This is how the last sheet of labels looks if I printed 9 lines. I would have one full sheet, then this (only there would be 4 more blank labels) 


Is there anyway I can do mail merge and prevent our logo and postal image from being printed on empty labels?

Thanks in advance for your time

All of our documents are opening in compatibility mode when edited and read only when double clicked

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 02:12 AM PDT

The computer in question is running office 2013, the documents were made in office 2013 however it is apparent that they were all saved in 07 format which I believe is why we are having the issues. How do I convert all of these files into the correct format so that they open and are editable in word. At the moment when you double click on a file it opens in "read only" and the document changes to WD000017 etc which means it cannot be saved immediately back to its location

Thanks in advance,

Backstage View animation pauses when opening

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 09:37 PM PDT

When I'm opening the Backstage View, It pauses for about a second before displaying the menu. This seems to happen in every Office application and is consistent (i.e. it happens regardless of how many times I open it).

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm using the Windows 10 Technical Preview (x64) and 32-bit Office. I don't recall this happening when I used the Office trial.

Missing Word 2013 Functions on Surface Pro 3

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 08:31 PM PDT

I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1 Pro and Office 2013 suite.

But on my old machine also running Windows 8.1 Pro and Office 2013 it works - is this a limitation to the Surface Pro? Anyone else come across this issue?

Microsoft Word 2010

Why does a document from old words programs (2003, 2007 etc.) come up as a document object?  My copy and paste stopped offering me any option it simply was an object. So when I tried to edit I got a neat little frame around the text and on the ribbon Picture tools appeared. This is an upgrade? Now I had a project of 174 pages which actually came up in that mode. I was able to print the items and saved it I thought as it was. Now I can't even find it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Help - Need Word 2010 file recovery!

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 07:03 PM PDT

I have been working on a Lab Report for over a week and when I was finally finished I saved it, closed it and reopened it to make sure all my equations, graphs and text was formatted aesthetically. When the file tried to open I was prompted with a message "the file report cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." In the details it stated, "the name in the end tag of the element much match the element type in the start tag." With a location below. 

I have tried everything from using a different computer to free recovery software to opening the file with every type of recovery.

Is there a sure fire way to fix this issue?

How to unlock a read only file

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 06:57 PM PDT

Protected templates becoming unprotected - Office 2007

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 05:39 PM PDT

We have a number of templates within our organization, users usually open the templates and edit away. We lock the documents down so they can't edit the logo's and usual font styles and what not, just so it comply's and is the same across all our documents. Though for some reason the documents are becoming unprotected.

We've figured out how to unlock the documents by doing the following

Opening a protected template

Opening another protected template

Copying the title bar from the first document into the second document

All of a sudden it's unlocked.

Now it might not seem like much, though this is considered a big breach of policy, as we have the templates for a reason.

And users being able to unlock the documents on their own poses the issue of having to redo entire reports/documents because someone has played around with the templates.

Has anyone experienced this before, or would anyone be able to give some input to why this occurs? Haven't tried copying any other data or any other method of unlocking the documents, the main concern now is just to lock this down so this can't happen.

newbie double boot install issues

You are right. Both is best. One links to the other. The available space

Here is an example of why what you say is true. Without help from the
code in MBR, grub cannot be installed on some filesystems:
http://www.mail-archive.com/org/msg10770.html

And if you cannot install to both the MBR and partition, you are better
off using an external boot media (cdrom or floppy). This leaves the BPB
of the partition unchanged, and avoids possible damage. The benefit of
external media is that once grub "learns" how to read filesystems and
displays the menu or prompt, grub is fully functional. It can read the
kernel and initrd from any partition with a filesystem that it "knows" how
to read.

Partitioning software at this point for your purposes is INDEPENDENT
of the problem (OS). If XP is already installed on the machine and you just
want to partition/repartition the second physical drive just use XP to do
it. Most Linux installs make at least two partitions one for boot/root and
one for swap. If however you ACTUALLY have one hard drive that has
two partitions, that is a different story.

With FC5 on my laptop, I had issues with all of these, which caused my

Once I upgraded the BIOS, some of my issues went away. Keeping the OS
updated also fixed some more of the random freezing issues. However it
was not until I swapped out the RAM with some known good RAM, did my
laptop stability issues fully go away. Since then, I replaced all the
RAM with new chips & things are rock solid. Upgrading to FC6 also showed
to be stable, once the BIOS & RAM issues were resolved.

Random white lines in Word 2013 Table of Contents

I'm trying to correct an issue with an automatic table of contents in Word 2013.  Random white lines are appearing between certain headings and they don't seem to follow any kind of pattern.  I've tried turning on 'view all characters' to see if there is some combination of keystrokes in the document text causing this issue, but there doesn't seem to be any inconsistency there.  I've also reviewed the text 'style' before and after each heading and all of my headings (including those without the issue in the TOC) are preceded and followed by either 'Normal' text or another 'Heading'.

Here's a screenshot of the TOC with arrows pointing to a couple of the offending lines but you can see there are many more.  I've tried copying a good table of contents from another doc, but that didn't work.  I am at a loss.  Help please!

Word 2010 - Creating Manual from Other Word Documents and Hyperlinks

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 11:02 AM PDT

I'm assembling a host of notes in Word 2010 on a multitude of different work topics. I was creating a large document for reference, but the file size was getting so large that I wasn't able to e-mail it through the work e-mail system.  I need to be able to share documents via e-mail with others. Unfortunately we don't all have access to a shared drive we can use for this purpose. For security purposes we also cannot use USB drives in our computers.

I've since been creating separate documents for separate topics.  I've also been accumulating a list of online resources and pdf documents.   What I would like to have is a document that pulls all of these resources together.   I'm going to be using this in the course of a fast paced job so I'm going to need to be able to access information quickly.  My thought is to create a resources document that has hyperlinks to all the various subdocuments, pdfs, and online resources.

I've been looking into Master documents and I wonder if this isn't the solution, but I'd like to get some advice before I begin creating this document.  I like the fact that it looks like each section is collapsible. There are some things I'm curious about though.

Does the Master document become huge itself?  Is it the size of all the documents combined?

Along with inserting subdocuments would the addition of hyperlinks to web resources and pdfs work well?

Is the text of all the subdocuments within the master document searchable?

Am I on the right track here or can you all think of a better solution to my problem?

First and foremost I need a document for my own use. But I'm also considering how I could easily share it with others. The hyperlinks I create are going to reference word documents on my system.  If I send the master document and all subdocuments will it work for them?  I'm thinking of all the hyperlinks that might end up getting broken.

Thank you so much for your help!  I don't want to put a lot of time into a solution that is not ideal.

iCloud Drive integration with Microsoft Office on iOS?

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 10:27 AM PDT

I attempted to use OneDrive before, but I found that it took way too long to sync only 314mb, whereas Dropbox (Which I currently use) did it in a few minutes

Read-Only / Protected View _ Word 2013

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT

At work, we use a Java based website to generate letters based on 2003 Word templates and Macro inputs. These Word templates can be modified to adjust the formatting or Macros. To do so, the template is opened as a Word document, the document is modified, and document is saved to update the template within the site. This is done without a hitch on Word 2003. The document is opened, modified, saved, and updated within the site.

However, when the same is tried with Word 2013 (the Word I am using), the document cannot be saved back to the site to update the template. Rather, the document opens as Read-Only / Protected View and saving the document to my computer as a new file is the only option. This is very frustrating and I need to find a way that I can open the document as an editable file and save it back to the site to update the template.

Things I have tried:

Installing the Microsoft compatibility pack

Modifying Trust Center settings to remove all restrictions

Adjusting restrictions once the document opens

Searched the web for solutions for hours

This seems to be an issue with many people and I have not found a solution. Microsoft prides itself on document handling and productivity, but this feature is in conflict with its own software and making it impossible for me to work.

Please help me resolve this issue!

Proofing tools - x86 or x64?

Posted: 15 Oct 2014 07:30 AM PDT

Hello,

I'm using 32bit Office 2013 on 64bit Windows 8.1.

I want to install the Dutch proofing tools.

Should I use the x86 or x64 version of the proofing tools? In other words, is x86/x64 in the proofing tools installer referring to the Office version or to the Windows version?

Thanks in advance,

MS Word Mail Merge from Access Data Corruption

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 09:28 PM PDT

I have a very basic Access database full of club membership data in which I have created a Mailing List Query. 

I have created a form letter and wish to use Mail Merge to complete the letters, taking the data from the Access Query.  This has worked OK previously, but when I recently tries this again, three (and only a specific three) of the fields came across as either completely corrupted (gobbledygook) or truncated. 

Curiously, if I close & reopen the letter, the results switch back & forth between gobbledygook and truncated.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how I might rectify the problem?

Thanks

Office word 2007 built in design tables

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:21 PM PDT

I'm working on a large ms office 2007 WORD document with tables and photos, and is unable to access the TOOLS > DESIGN > built-in TABLES. Any suggestions on how to access the the built-in-design tables on a large Office 2007 word document, that has already been created?

Coordinate proofing among different PCs

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:58 PM PDT

I set Word options to save documents and templates to my SkyDrive so that I can easily switch between my desktop and my Surface tablet.  That works fine for documents and templates but not for proofing tools.  Do I really have to redefine every proofing function on every new computer I use and hope I can do it consistently.  There must be some way to maintain a shared library of proofing functions, isn't there?

Convert a document from RTF to Word and embed all images

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:24 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a document that has been created as an RTF output and images are not embedded (I have no choice on this initial output), they are essentially links.  If I try and convert the RTF document to DOCX and send the file to someone else, none of the images appear because the links are broken or not present.

Is there a simple/quick way to embed all images into the DOCX document without having to go through one by one.  There are 250+ images.

Thanks, Scott

Need some assistance creating a new document in a separate Document Collection using VBA Word 2010

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 04:10 PM PDT

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to do something and hope someone might have an answer here.
I am trying to create a new document from a template within another Word Document.
If I call Word.Documents.Add template:="C:\Templates\Test.dotm", the new document opens based on that template but the calling document is locked until that new document is closed.
If I can Word.Documents.Open filename="C:\Templates\test.dotm", it opens in its own window and the original document is able to be edited.
I need to be able to create a new document based on a template from within a template without adding it to the Documents collection. Is this possible in VBA? Any suggestions are appreciated.

MS Word 2010 search results disappear from navigation pane after a few seconds

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 03:54 PM PDT

When I highlight a word and press ctrl+f the Navigation pane opens to the 'Browse results' tab. This lists my results, and highlights them in the document. However after a few seconds, this disappears, and says "you can search for text..." and I have to press the up/down arrows to get the list to reappear.  This is exceedingly frustrating. Could this be related to another problem I have that the view returns to the cursor position a few seconds after scrolling away from it? 

Any advice for either problem would be great. 

Sharepoint won't open office docs after server rename

Posted: 14 Oct 2014 02:49 PM PDT

Hi-

We renamed our SharePoint server and everything is fine.  However, MS docs won't open within SharePoint anymore.  We have an Office Web Apps server and that hasn't been touched since the rename...  Is there somewhere on the Web Apps server where I need to change the name of our SharePoint 2013 server?  Any other ideas?  This was working fine before the server rename.

Thanks in advance!

Bob,
You're welcome.

Having a drop down with choices is the next step in using spare fields.
Let's assume you are using Text1, Text2 and Text3 to store the three
part of the code. Go to Tools/Customize/Fields and set each text field
up with a Value List. More details on customizing fields is available in
the Help file.

With regard to creating csv files for import into AS/400. I'm not
familiar with AS/400 but as long as it can read csv, it shouldn't be to
difficult to automate the transfer. As it turns out I am working with a
client right now to create two csv data files for import by another
application. The user will have two options. One option is to export the
required Project data to Excel where it can then be viewed, massaged if
necessary, and finally saved as a csv. The second option is to create
the csv file directly from Project. All this is being done with a VBA
macro. However, if the csv format can be set up with a customized view
in Project, (i.e. get the required Project fields in the right
sequence), It is even easier. Then all you will need is to do a Save As
and chose csv as the format. I've never tried that approach so I don't
know if there are any issues to watch out for but it might work for you
if you do not have VBA experience.

Hope this helps.

Analyze toolbar

Posted: 10 Oct 2005 09:27 AM PDT

Looks like I fixed this.

I enabled the Com add-in menu item and refreshed it (by undoing the tick and
then checking the box). The tool bar is now visible.

I suspect this was to do with policies on the Terminal Server...

I suspect your com add-in is incorrect and is for a different version of
Project. COM errors should also be report to Event log. Get the event number

Displaying timephase data for custom fields

In article <phx.gbl>,
"JackD" <momokuri@gmail> wrote:
 

Guys,
Without getting into another long discussion on philosophy, Jumpin's
question was, "How can you display timephase data for custom fields?" He
(or she) didn't ask if it was easy, practical, realistic, or with any
other qualifier. I think you will have to agree I answered the question
and I think you will also have to agree that I indicated in my first
responses that to do so was NOT easy or convenient (i.e. requires VBA
and special algorithms).

Are we to assume in our replies that the user is limited in their scope
of thinking or in what they are willing to do? I hope not. Years ago the
Project "experts" at my company said you couldn't do accounting month
data with Project. Then I wrote a macro to do it. In my view, Microsoft
provides VBA with its applications so the user can extend the
functionality to meet their needs - whatever those needs might be -
practical or impractical.

If a poster is "put off" by a response that is complex or difficult to
implement, that's fine, accepting or rejecting our advice is their
prerogative. Unless the difficult method is the only way to get there I
always try to offer several options from simple to advanced. Some may be
crazy, zany, or out in left field, but it gives the user a choice. I
believe most people like choices - perhaps I'm wrong - I accept that. In
the current case of Junpin's original post, he/she in fact asked about
the level of difficulty with a VBA solution so I didn't get the feeling
that I was out of line or leading them down a rosy path. However, what I
did get a little torqued about is that Jumpin posted the same question
again after you, me, Jan had already provided a thread of
answers/comments.

Time to Market for projects that are put on hold

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 12:45 PM PDT

Hi James,

If you have already started working on the project and recorded tracking
data (actual work, actual duration, actual start etc.) you could use the
"Reschedule Uncompleted Work" command in Project to split the in-progress
tasks, leaving the completed work data as completed, and move any incomplete
work to the new start date. Make sure you have supplied all tracking data
for tasks in progress and then choose Tools>Tracking> Update Project, and
enter the new date in the dialog box next to the option "Reschedule
uncompleted work to start after".

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Calendars and resource issues

Duration field calculates 1.92 days for 2 days, how do you fix?

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 10:31 AM PDT

1) Why not try it and see? You could always make a copy and use that to
try out ideas. If you have already assigned a 24 hour resource to the task,
Project should then recognize the change to one 12 hour shift and double the
Duration. You thus will need to assign the other shift to the task, whence
the Duration will halve to the original.

2) Yes. Provided you don't assign a single resource, like the project
manager, using that calendar.

3) Hopefully :)

Duane,
No, not specifically for exporting Project data to Word. However, I can
suggest a couple of links that might be very useful.

You don't mention if you have VBA experience or not but even if you do,
you might want to take a look at the link on our MVP website for Project
VBA. Go to: http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm
At the bottom of the page you will find a link for, "Project 98 Visual
Basic Environment Training Materials". Even though it says it is for
Project 98, it is equally applicable to all current versions of Project.
As I recall, the training modules help explain the Project object
structure and there is also a section on how to interface with other
applications.

A second link to to fellow MVP, Jack Dahlgren's website at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
Jack has several examples of useful VBA code. In particular the macro on
exporting Project data to Excel (Export hierarchy to Excel) might be of
benefit.

Good luck. If you have further questions, feel free to post in our
related newsgroup: microsoft.public.project.developer

Putting costs against milestones

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 07:29 AM PDT

Hi P,

Another option in addition to Mike's suggestion is to create the material
resource and enter the cost for the material resource in the "Cost/Use"
field. Assign the material resource at zero units (to avoid increasing the
duration). This will carry the cost for the material resource to the task
based upon the cost per use.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Calculations not making sense

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 05:52 AM PDT

So how do I set a project schedule that reflects that work will be done
in 2 12 hour shifts? Set up a 2 shift schedule taking the breaks of
the two individual 12 hour shifts into account?

For example, my shifts run:

Day Shift
6A-11:30A
12P-6P

Night Shift
6P-11:30P
12A - 6A

so then should my "24 hour" schedule be entered as
12P -11:30P
12 A to 11:30 A

or
6A - 11:30 A
12P - 6P
6P-11:30 P
12 A - 6 A

Or is there another option I'm not thinking about?

thanks for all of your help by the way. Resource leveling is the one
thing that I've never been able to make work in Project. Getting this
figured out will be a definite breakthrough.

Problem with resource usage durations

Posted: 07 Oct 2005 01:33 AM PDT

Hi,

When you say "global pool" do you mean you are using Project Server or do
you simply ean your projects are connected to a resource pool without using
server?
Mind you I know nearly nothing about server, but if is a "norml" pool I'm
convinced we'll crack this one.
