Jabir,
Gee I hadn't thought of the hyperlink idea but you said it didn't work
anyway.

Rather than mess around with icons, why not simply collapse the master
project so only the summary lines of each subproject are visible. You
will basically have a 10 line master project (assuming the master has no
tasks of its own). It will be real easy to instantly select any
subproject which can then be expanded. By the way, after collapsing the
master save it, so the default master view is in collapsed form.

If the above approach is not adequate, there is a way you can set up 10
icons in the toolbar, one for each subproject, and have those icons not
only locate but also filter for any specific subproject, but it will
take some VBA to do it. Unless you are conversant in Project VBA, I
suggest you use the first approach.

How are exact times (e.g. 3:00 - 5:00 pm) entered?

Posted: 07 Dec 2005 11:57 AM PST

The time is still there, it just isn't displayed. To make it display go to
tools menu / options / general and choose a date format which includes the
time. The time you entered should show up.

Non-work days of a resource

"Carlos Ortigoso" <com.br> wrote:
 

Carlos,
Is it possible? Definitely. Is it easy to generate such a report? Well,
that depends. If you want a report that shows only those days when a
resource has no assignments, you will probably need to use an advanced
feature of Project, namely VBA. However, if you don't mind seeing data
that gives days of total availability along with partial days you can
use one of two approaches.

For a report, try the built-in report (View/Reports/Workload/Resource
Usage). Edit the report to show the Remaining Availability field. For a
graph, use the Resource Graph. Again display the Remaining Availability
(Format/Details).

Hope this helps.

primavera questions:

Posted: 06 Dec 2005 05:27 AM PST

1) There is a restriction on the number of WBS levels, but I'm pretty
certain that it is beyond what you will require. Contact a Primavera rep for
details. They should be able to set you up with a demo version.

2) Yes, you can constrain tasks. It is similar to MS project in this regard.
Constraints are PART of the logic, so it is incorrect to say that logic is
ignored. It is modified, but not ignored. One advantage of P3 is that
constraints are not generated automatically when you move tasks around
graphically. On the other hand, for some that is a disadvantage.

Generally most scheduling tools are about the same with some minor
variation. P3 is good. I'd use it except for the fact that project is
cheaper and has better automation (Project VBA). Choosing software is more
about determining what you need and then finding a tool that best meets
those needs rather than trying to determine which is the "better" tool.

How do I set the timescale to half months or semi-months?

Why does your pay cycle enter into the project schedule? Remember that
Project is a work scheduling tool, not really a time tracking and most
definitely not a payroll or accounting application. The cost data project
aculates is the direct cost of performing the required work in the tasks
its timing does not reflect pay periods or when payments are made.

Or, if you want, you can e-mail me the file and I can take a look at it.

How do I transfer Works 2000 (version 5) files and database to Windows 8.1

Posted: 13 Dec 2014 07:46 AM PST

My old XP is being replaced by Windows 8.1 and I am having trouble transferring word processing files and a database from the Works 2000 version 5 which came pre-installed on the XP over to the Windows 8.1.  I have tried loading the files on USB sticks.....one for the word processing files and one for the database.  From there I have tried loading them into the new 8.1. , but after loading all I see is codes and gobbledegook.  I read somewhere that files from old Works 2000 have to be SAVED AS something else before loading on the to USB stick ?  After which it is supposed to be available and editable on my new 8.1.  I would be grateful for any help and replies as these files are important for business use.  The Office version I have on my new 8.1 is Home & Business 2013.  I have also tried loading the above mentioned USB sticks on to my Vista which also has Works installed, version 9, thinking that as it was a later version of Works that I could view the files on the Vista and which might be less of a problem to then maybe use new USB sticks from the Vista to the 8.1  As anyone can guess I'm not very 'high tech'  !!

Why isn't my portrait page numbering showing up on landscape pages after creating PDF from Word?

I have a lengthy Word document that has portrait and landscape oriented sections. The landscape sections have page numbering set up so that on screen it appears on the left, but in the printed book will have the page numbers in the same place as the portrait pages. For some reason when I create a PDF using the Adobe tab in Word and embed the fonts though, the portrait page numbers on my landscape pages do not show up. Does anyone know if there's a box or something I'm not checking?

Microsoft CRM - MS CRM Installation version 1.2 Licence key problem

MS CRM Installation version 1.2 Licence key problem

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 11:43 PM PDT

Hi Göksal,



If you are going to use the license key for demo or development purposes,
you can use the "Adventure Works Cycle" key. This can be found in the
Implementation Guide (ig.pdf) on the Microsoft CRM doentation CD - I
think it is in chapter 21.



If you are looking for a key for your production environment, you have to
register your license to get the key. You should get an e-mail from
Microsoft with your MBS number, which you have to use when registering the
product. After registering, you can find your license key on Customer Source
or Partner Source (depending on whether you are a customer or partner)



I hope this can be of help to you,

How to send direct email to all contacts at an account?

Posted: 21 Jul 2005 12:58 PM PDT

Hi Viktor,



Depending on your exact business case, I would say that you have two
choices:



1. Direct mail (E-mail) to all Contacts on one Account:

Open the Account in question -> Contacts -> Select all Contacts on the
associated Contact view -> select 'Send Direct E-mail...' from the Actions
dropdown menu.



If you are doing this from a Sales For Outlook client you can use Microsoft
Word mail merge, or else you can use an Microsoft CRM e-mail template.



2. Direct mail (E-mail) to all Contacts in a number of Accounts:

Use the Advanced Search Tool slightly different as Daniel Rodriguez
described it. Add the 4-6 custom Account segmentation fields on the Contact
entity and map the fields. For your exiting Contacts, you will have do
develop a code for updating data, as mappings only supports copying data on
creation of the record. Then you can search on contacts, using the criteria
needed and use the Direct Mail feature in the Actions drop down menu on the
view in the Advanced Search Tool.



Before you decide which method to use, you should know, that Microsoft CRM
v.3.0 holds a much more advanced search engine enabling combining entity
criteria in your search profiles and saving search profiles for re-use.
Furthermore the Marketing module will support more direct mail
functionalities and have a more enhanced Word mail merge feature, also
supporting merging of custom fields. So, if you can wait for about half a
year, an upgrade will provide you with a new world of features.



Kind regards,

Space Problem

You can run DBCC Opentran agains the log file to make sure there are no
transactions that are not commited to the database.

You can then use the dbcc shrinkfile command against the database to reduce
the size.

As for other space, enumerate all the HLP files on the C drive and compress
them.
Then do the same to the Text files. I get about 2 gigs of space when I
compress, logs, Hlp files and TXT files.
Also check the logs folder in system32. You may see a great deal of web
logs in one of the subfolders.

Mail Merge - Labels per page & formatting

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 03:28 PM PST

Hello and thank you-

I am having two problems in trying to create labels from a mail merge.  The first is that somehow random spaces get added in when I link my data from Excel, even though the source formatting is consistent.  For example:

I want this:

John Smith

ABC Company

1234 Main St

City, State Zip

And occasionally with some labels I get this, or something else equally as unexpected:

John Smith

ABC Company

1234 Main St

City, State Zip

Second,  I am using the Avery 5162 template with 14 labels per page.  I have ~90 contacts to print labels for.  After I have linked my Excel data, and set up the fields, the first page looks correct except for the above issue.  However, each subsequent page begins at the contact one after the first contact of the previous page, and continues in order...

So for John, Sarah, Mike, and Abby, and assuming 3 labels per page, I get:

John Sarah Mike

Sarah Mike Abby

Mike Abby

Abby... producing 1 whole page for each of the contacts.

Heeeellllp!  I don't want to type 90+ addresses in by hand, this is 2014.

Using Cut/Paste to record macro in Word 2010

I see that I can insert/object/text from file, and move text over from a file. But I just want sentences or paragraphs, and don't want to save a ton of little files that are just the text I need.  I've looked all over on line without success. Window 7 Pro.

For the 5th floor, I want the caption to start at 5-1. For the mezzanine level, I want the caption to start at M-1.

In trying to do this, I defined a bookmark FloorA which contains the floor number of the first floor in the report. Then I modified a caption from 24 { SEQ 24 - \* ARABIC} to { REF  FloorA } - {SEQ {REF  FloorA } \* ARABIC } . Unfortunately, this evaluates to 24- Error! Bookmark not defined. Caption

Since the first REF field evaluates as expected, the bookmark must be defined. What am I doing wrong?

The intent is to edit the contents of the FloorA bookmark and have the captions automatically update so the user doesn't have to edit the numbering of the caption fields individually.

How do I open "filename._docx files"?

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 01:22 PM PST

I'm running Windows 7 and Word 2010 and have been receiving word files with a  "._docx" file type.

I can't open this and there is no possibility of making an association in control panel.

Is there a way to open these files or do I need a later version of Word?

ActiveX and Building blocks Word 2010

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:53 AM PST

Please forgive me if this is a simple question, I am new to Word VBA and everything I have learned I have learned online from groups such as these. I'm using Windows 7, Word 2010.

I am creating a template (.dotm), which uses User Forms, Building blocks and ActiveX checkboxes. Based on the selection created in the User Form, building blocks are inserted into the document. In one of the building blocks, I have inserted 4 ActiveX checkboxes. I have code that hides/shows bookmarked text based on the checkbox that is 'checked'. As long as I don't close the file, the building block will insert as it should. As soon as I close the file (and Word), when the file is opened again, I try to insert this building block. I then get the 'too many edits' error. I have enough disk space and my temp folder is fine.

Which leads me to my question... Can ActiveX Checkboxes be used in Building Blocks? I have tried to use the Checkbox Content Control, but I cannot add code to VBA to hide/show my bookmarked text for it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

microsoft word 10 starter edition update received 12/10/1014 now word directory not showing in windows explorer

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:34 AM PST

On December 10 2014 a pop up window appeared saying that I had an update to word starter edition 2010.  Since applying this update I am unable to see my word files directory in Microsoft explorer.  I can still get to the files from inside word or by doing a search for the file.  From the search screen I am able to see the file properties and it is not checked as a hidden file.  This is a problem because I am now  unable to make a backup of just this directory or just individual files in the directory.   How can I correct this problem?

Card design shrinks when I place it in Word 2013 Text Box???

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 11:09 AM PST

Word 2013: Change Compare/Legal Blackline Settings?

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 09:27 AM PST

How to I change the manner in which Word will identify the changes between two documents to make them more obvious?

My settings have the changes in a very pale blue with a shadowed strikethrough.  It's very difficult to see on the screen and almost impossible to see in a print out.

I can't find anywhere to change this.

Any suggestions?

Print Preview In WORD 2013 Has Been Slowed Down - How Do I Speed It Back Up Again?

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 09:00 AM PST

 

In WORD 2013 when print previewing a document Microsoft seem to have slowed up the speed at which the screen paints so that there's a delay between one page and the next.

 

How (if possible) do I change the speed so that there's no discernible delay between painting one page in print preview mode and the next?

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Find and replace a space in between 2 index fields

Posted: 12 Dec 2014 07:41 AM PST

Hi Everyone

I thought I had double spaces in my word 2010 document but find and replace didn't find any. Looking deeper, I found some of my index fields have a space in between them.

I've tried different variations of ^dXE(space)^dXE but cant work it out.

I have {XE "some text"}(space){XE "more text"}(space)even more test. When fields are hidden, the 2 spaces look like a double space

How do I remove the space but keep the XE field as in

{XE "some text"}{XE "more text"}(space)even more text

Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance

Number formatting in text form controls and using formulae

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:16 PM PST

I have a simple form that used the Legacy Tools.  The form, amongst other things, summed numbers that users input into preceding cells.  The input cells are Text Form Fields where the Type is set to Number and the Number format can be defined.  Each cell can also be bookmarked (eg, a , b, c), so that the summing is easily done by inserting a Formula =Sum(a,b,c) and the Number format can also be defined in the Formula.

I am now trying to replicate something similar in a new form that contains the Word 2013 Form Controls, but the new tools don't seem to have the Legacy features such as number formatting and bookmarking.  I could use the Legacy Tools in the new form, but I thought I read somewhere that the two types shouldn't be mixed in the one form.  Is this correct, and if so, is anyone able to suggest how I can achieve my aim using the new Form Controls, please?

Page numbers not working in sections

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 01:09 PM PST

<Moved from Windows 7 > Programs>

Hello,

I have three sections in my Word document.  Section 1 is the first two pages.  Section 2 are pages 3 and 4 and Section 3 is pages 5-10.  When I insert pages number i and ii on page 3 and 4 it also adds them to pages 1 and 2.  When I delete them and add page number to page five (1) it doesn't add page numbers 2-5, but it adds i to Section 1 page 1.

I have tried deleting the section breaks and reinserting, but it doesn't help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Word 2013 and ActiveX checkbox controls- weird behavior

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 01:06 PM PST

Saw this posted before but no resolution given (I saw a resolution involving document protection but trying that just broke stuff worse), feel free to point me to an existing solution if there is one.

I created a document in Word 2010. It is basically a guided process document: a few pages of text, then the ActiveX checkboxes which call some VB script that toggles blocks of text later in the document, between being formatted as hidden or not. Short story, I want the document to guide users through a set of tasks, with different tasks being relevant or not relevant depending on the input in those checkboxes.

Word 2010: works great, saves us acres of time every time we need to do this task!

Word 2013: initially works great but after selecting some of the  checkboxes then scrolling through the document and returning to the checkboxes, they no longer work. The dotted-box outline of the checkbox object is "normal" (faint dotted line) when it's working, and looks like the developer mode boundary when it is not working (darker dotted line with boxes on the corners).  If you close the document (with or without saving) OR toggle into developer mode then back out, the checkboxes work again for a while but break again.

The code behind the checkbox is very basic:

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()

If CheckBox1.Value = False Then
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BK_text1").Range.Font.Hidden = True
Else
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Bk_text1").Range.Font.Hidden = False
End If

End Sub

One routine per checkbox and each calling a different bookmark.

I understand from other posts that the ActiveX controls will be deprecated at some point in the future but they are not yet deprecated (that I know of) as I can still create new ones, so I would really like to make this work.  I can always recreate the document using a different control but it's about 90 pages long, very complex, lots of boxes and bookmarks--- not a small undertaking and I need to be able to use this doc in 2010 and 2013 in the mean time.

Also I know it is not my instance of Word because I've used multiple machines to test, and also it is not the doc itself because I created a brand new one which is much shorter and exhibits the same behavior.  The only thing copied from old doc to new is the snip of code above.  

Any takers?

Table of Contents and citations

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:37 PM PST

In legal work we often create a Table of Authorities (TOA) to list all of our cases and statutes cited within the document.  Obviously this is known because of the category listing within the Cite function.

Sometimes we need to list those cases, in alphabetical order as they appear in the TOA within the Table of Contents (TOC), instead of providing a TOA. 

I am killing myself trying to figure out how to get those cites to incorporate within the TOC where they belong without doing the old cut and paste.  I would like for the page numbers to update as my document is worked on.  Is there anyway to make this happen?   Right now I have the TOA at the end of the document and I am cutting and pasting when changes are made but I feel certain that there is a way to make this work.

I've been at this for almost two days now and although Cut and Paste is the easier softer method, my employer really wants me to get this to work.

End notes

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:31 PM PST

Hi Word-workers,

End notes, collected at the end of the doc and numbered by section: great.

Would it be possible to enter some 'caption' in between the end notes by section, e.g. a chapter title. I already found that entering '<Enter>Chapter I' in the end note will pop up in the tool tip of the corresponding number in the text. Stands to (some) reason.

Copied text and pasted with Paste Special - Enhanced metafile will not pop up. But this picture is still part of the end note so ... don't touch the notes ;-).

Can anyone think of a better (final) approach?

Lines After Each Hard Return in Print Layout Mode in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:07 AM PST

Both at home and at work I have Office 2013.  On my work computer, below every hard return there is a non-solid line from margin to margin.  Visually I find this very annoying.  However, on my home computer these lines do not appear, so there must be a way to turn them off.  I have compared the options settings on both computers and have not been able to discover how to do so.

So my question is, how can I permanently turn off these very annoying and distracting lines?  And, for future reference, what is that feature called?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

David

My Microsoft app won't show my documents.

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 09:15 AM PST

Hello,
I have been using the Microsoft app since earlier the year, but over the past week, the app won't refresh my documents. I made a new document and saved it to my Onedrive file, but it didn't appear when I tried to refresh it. The app sent me a message saying "Folder Contents have Changed. Your view will be refreshed" but then it doesn't refresh. I logged into my online OneDrive account to see if it saved and it was. So, I deleted the app and then downloaded it again but now none of my files will show. The only thing I get is a message telling me they will show and then they don't. Could you help me fix it please? Thank you.

Named Styles with Associated Icon

I received a document with Customized Named Styles, ie My Heading One that have the Paragraph or character icon associated with them.  Then there are other Customized named styles that are "Based on" these but do not have any associated icon.

Is this because the "Named" styles was updated with direct formatting and it comes along with the document?

Yellow triangle with exclamation point by my name - what does it really mean?

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 07:26 AM PST

I have a fairly new laptop, running Windows 8.1 and i have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 installed and activated. When I open Microsoft Word, I see this warning triangle by my name. When I click on it, i see "There are problems with your account. Please sign in again." I don't understand what i need to sign in to. I'm not using any cloud services. I have Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 physically installed on my laptop. I would think that all i need to do is open Microsoft Word and start typing. When I click on the little "sign in" link in the yellow box, nothing happens. Is there really some compelling reason to make all of this so difficult?

Card design in Word

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 02:58 AM PST

I'm designing a Christmas card. It's to be A4, folded in half, to make an A5 size.

The photo will go at the bottom of the first side. The back will have a logo and some text. It will be upside down and take up the top half of the first page. The card is to be folded in half to make a sort of apex shape which can stand up. Inside there will be a greeting.

My problem is with the text on the back. It will have to be upside down I suppose. What's the best way to do this? It seems that text boxes won't turn text upside down, only sideways.

I think I'm right in saying a logo can be rotated any way so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks in advance.

Deleting empty rows in Word with VBA

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:13 AM PST

Hello,

I am using a UserForm to delete some rows in a table (rows are a bookmark). But unfortunately, it only deletes the content but not the empty cells.

I tried having the entire table a bookmark also and wanted a code to search that entire table / bookmark for empty rows and delete them, after the first bookmark has been deleted.

But that would still be a bookmark in a bookmark.

What code can I use to ensure that all (completely!) empty rows are deleted in the document?


Thank you :)

Capability of MS Word

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 11:05 PM PST

Most of the computer user use MS word for their office work. I propose an up-gradation in this software as under.

1. The page opened in document is solely one sheet that continues to many pages and sections. I want a word software that may contain many chapters in one document as many sheets in MS Excel. This will help many chapters in one document without creating a lengthy document in a continue manner.

2. Secondly, the Table inserted in the document must have almost all functions as of MS Excel Cell. Some functions in table cell are already available but those are not sufficient. A table must have the capability to create a sub-table and to sum-up in a parent table. To create a graph capability must also present in document.

3. The new added Tabs like sheets in MS Excel must have capabilities to add Power point capabilities.

This new and others additions will guide us to create a new software named as "Soft Page".   

Insertion Of Label (ActiveX Control) Now Causes Warning To Appear - Why?

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 10:34 PM PST

1. I am trying to insert a:-

Label (ActiveX Control)

 - into my WORD document.

I have been doing this successfully for a very long time (probably years) without any problems.

2. This is what I do to achieve the above:-

Click in the place in the WORD document where I wish to insert the:-

Label (ActiveX Control)

 - then:-

Developer tab

Controls group

Hover the mouse over:-

Legacy Tools

 - towards the middle lower right hand corner and click on the drop down arrow.

I then click on:-

Label (ActiveX Control)

3. A warning now appears:-

The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is not installed on your computer.

To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object.

I have never had the above warning prior to a few minutes before the time of this posting.

I believe that the warning is now appearing as a result of automatic updates from Microsoft.

How can I get back to the situation that I can insert a:-

Label (ActiveX Control)

 - without this warning message:-

The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is not installed on your computer.

To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object.

 -appearing.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Allow carriage returns in Plain Text Content Control

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:38 PM PST

I have inserted a Plain Text Content Control into a document and set the Plain Text Properties to allow carriage returns (multiple paragraphs).  The text in the main document is justified.  However, when the user entering text into the text box executes a carriage return (Enter), the resulting effect is as if a line break (Shift+Enter) had been executed instead of a paragraph break (ie, a partial line is "justified" across the page).

Is there a way to make the carriage return a "real" paragraph break?
