Microsoft Word - Words visible in Read Mode, but not in Edit Document/ P Mode

Microsoft Word - Words visible in Read Mode, but not in Edit Document/ P Mode

Words visible in Read Mode, but not in Edit Document/ P Mode

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 12:21 PM PST

I have been working on a basketball document that includes symbols as well as words.  For some reason after saving it (and I'm sure something else) Everything has disappeared except for the courts that I started with.  Yet, when I click on the tab "View", and go to the Read Mode, what I did appears on the left all jumbled up.  I think I can copy and paste each symbol, etc., over, but that will take a long time, and I am curious as to how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

2007 Office is being blocked

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 10:28 AM PST

When I attempt to use my Word Documents or make a new document, I am being blocked.  Messages show that I must re active by Jan 2, 2015.  When I follow the instructions it turns out that I am being prompted to purchase Office 365.  I want to continue to use Office 2007, which I have been using for years.When I looked in my Computer Uninstall programs, I saw that an Office program was installed 12/24/14.  I did not install this (and I am the only one using this computer).  Can I solve my problem by Uninstalling that line?   I have the original disc for Microsoft, Office Standard 2007.   Thank you

double ?? when using word for ipad with dictation

Posted: 28 Dec 2014 04:56 AM PST

I am using word for iPad. 

Hardware: iPad 4 with iOS 8 and all updates installed.

I have been relying heavily on dictation to help me with some very large work documents. For the last couple of days when ever i dictate i am getting double ?? between each word. I guessing this means that it isn't sure of the word. Sometimes it is there from the beginning but other times i think it is okay and then it goes back to ?? between each word. I have tried both on and off wi-fi (using cellular data with 4bar LTE connection)

I tried using an email in the apple environment and i had no issues.

I tried doing the reset information i saw in a previous thread with no success, 

The real kicker is that i figured just go with it and i will delete the ?? later using find and delete on my windows desktop.... BUT... it didn't save those sections, again i am guessing because it wasn't verified...

any help would be greatly appreciated, i am under the gun for a huge work project that i was relying on this to help me complete in time.

My fall back is going to be email my self the notes from the apple product and then edit them when i get them on my desktop. I don't want to though if i can help it.

Thank you

Michael.

how to fix word 2007 issues - normal.dot

Hi,

My Word 2007 is having some problems. It's the normal.dot extension file. I tried those that were suggested on some of the discussions. I deleted and tried renaming the file to old.dot but still the problem is there. I am not sure what could be causing this problem. I tried system restore but also system restore failed. Can somebody help me, please. Thanks in advance

Unable to Format Labels using Outlook and Word 2010

Posted: 27 Dec 2014 08:43 PM PST

Trying to print mailing labels from an Outlook list.  Go through the merge procedure in Word step by step.  I format the labels the way I want it to appear (centered on the label, single spaced, etc) update all labels and the print preview looks exactly as I want it to appear.  Complete the merge and everything still looks good.  Print, and NONE of the formatting I did is there.  The labels are double spaced, left justified, start on the top of the label.  I thought this was just strange, so tried it 3 more times.  Each time the same thing happens.  Word does not care about what I want, does what it wants, period.  I thought perhaps if I saved the label format to a PDF it would correct.  Ha.  The .pdf looks perfect, but obviously there are embedded codes in the format somewhere because when I print it, it looks exactly as MS Word wants it to look, not how I want it to look.

So, how do I get labels to look like I want them? 

MS Word added spaces after the bulleting.

Posted: 27 Dec 2014 07:00 PM PST

I have an outline I am making.  I have several levels of numbered lists.  As you can see in the image, the top level is roman numerals.  Suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, MS word decided that the third roman numeral needs a bunch of blank space after it.  I have highlighted this level of numbering so you can see the space.  WHY!!!!!!!!!??????????

How do I get Word to take that space away????

Weird bug in MS Project 2003 Resource Leveling

Posted: 25 Dec 2005 05:33 PM PST

Congratulations Andre.
There must be a big finder's fee to go with this.
I wish I had discovered a real bug.

Putting them back to:
T1 5d A
T2 5d B
T3 5d A 4SS
T4 5d B

If you add the 2FS link at T4, and then level, OK, T3 ES = 02/01
If you force T4 to Must Start On 02/01, and then level, OK, T3 ES = 02/01.
If you do either and then take them off and then level again it goes bad
again, T3 ES = 09/01.
So, any way that T4 gets forced to 02/01, except levelling, makes/allows the
4SS link work OK.(?)

This is a tiny glitch and rarely encountered in practice, but unnerving.
As well as a good argument for ensuring every Task has at least 1 FS
predecessor, and a strict minimum of all other types, which is good advice
anyway, it's a bug.
Is it a leveling bug or a linking bug?
The linking works ok if there is no leveling, so it must be a leveling bug,
but it only happens with this link.
If leveling is set to manual, and other calculation automatic, then leveling
can only happen when you push the button.
If then leveling does something else (mysterious), as well as "delay Tasks
to remove Resource over-allocation", then I will not be able to advise
students/clients etc that "Leveling is simple. Leveling delays Tasks to
remove Resource over-allocation, and nothing more", which is also very
common advice on this NG.

The levelling delay of T3 and T4 both stay at 7 Edays, even when T3 is
scheduled for ES = 1 week later than necessary!

You have to admit, this is disconcerting at least for anyone making a living
out of MSP, and erodes the faith of the faithful and members of the MSP fan
club who have to teach this stuff and defend MSP from the people who say it
is crap and P3 is better.
I must remember this one for next time the MSP spruiker is making the big
pitch and demo at the software show or the PMI chapter meeting. No, that
would be unnecessarily cruel.
Is there any chance MS is going to fess up on this;-) ?

This goes on the very short list of real bugs along with allowing the the
pilot/aircraft tp take off separately and the ALAP type ing all of the
float out of its successors, not so much a bug, no matter how annoying, but
more a missing feature, which goes on the very short list of real missing
features (eg Zero Total Float Constraint, Zero Free Float Constraint,
Longest Path, driving predecessor tracing, weird EV summary roll-ups(?)).

Both lists are still a lot shorter than the one about things which look like
they don't work or aren't there but are really the result of user
mis-understanding about CPM/MSP.

End date for Hammock task

Hi Ravi,

You don't need to set all 400 tasks as the predecessors. You could simply
link the last tasks in logical flows as the predecessor to the finish
milestone. So for example: if the predecessor/successor relationship is A 
milestone.

Hope this helps.

Delay in external dependency

Posted: 24 Dec 2005 10:29 PM PST

Hi Rod,

I do publish the external review schedule upfront and they do commit a
timeline for review. But they don't always complete the review as per
their commitment and I need to reflect the delay in the schedule. I
can create a task called "External Review" but if I do so, I need to
assign a resource to it. As I don't want my customer's resource in my
schedule, I don't want to schedule the external review as a task with
fixed duration and resource.

There are other external dependencies as well which I can't figure how
to reflect in MS Project. Example: If some of the tasks are dependent
on arrival of a new hardware, how do I track the delay induced by late
arrival of the hardware?

Regards,
Ravi

MSPuser,
I understand your special cirstances but I'm still not buying in to
the idea that a task can be picked up and started immediately after a

really relevant to your question.

With regard to the VBA approach. I would NOT used a lag. In my opinion
any lag of greater than 5 days is worthless. A much better approach is
to simply set a "start-no-earlier-than" constraint. I would still keep
the link to insure the logic is correct but only if the task indeed has
a predecessor that must be completed first. The following code will do
what you need, assuming there is no setup time for a delayed task.

Sub Schedule_Gapper()
Dim Cutoff As Date, Restart As Date
Dim t As Object
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t Is Nothing Then
Cutoff = "5/30/" & Year(t.Start)
Restart = "9/1/" & Year(t.Start)
If t.Summary = False And t.Start < Restart Then
If Application.DateAdd(t.Start, t.Duration) > _
Cutoff Then t.Start = Restart
End If
End If
Next t
End Sub

If you want to learn more about Project VBA, go to our MVP website at:

and look for the link at the bottom of the page, "Project 98 Visual

Finish Date does not change

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 09:19 PM PST


Thanks Mr. John,
I will clarify further.
The file name is master. In tools..option..calculation, Calculatio
mode is automatic & I have ticked all four options, viz.
- Updating task status ....
- Move end of completed ...
- and move start of remaining ...
- Move start of remaining ...
- and move end of completed ...
Because I want the finish date to move forward from today's status dat
by the amount of remaining duration.
This was happening earlier when I created the file.
Now it is not happening.
Actual start date of all activities is NA as I have not updated an
activity as of now.
I want start & finish date to change when I change '%complete' field.

Hope I am clear now & you will be in position to answer my query
Thanks in advance.

Resource Capacity and Slack View/Report

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 11:29 AM PST

"Slack" as used in MSP refers to task start and end dates and they amount of
time they could be delayed without affecting tasks downstream, not
resources. Are you perhaps thinking of utilization versus availability,
What you're calling "slack" being the remaining amount of time a resource
has available for assignment before they go over their maximum availability?
If so, go to the Resource Usage view and add the Remaining Availability
field to the lines displayed in the timeline side.

Inserting tasks from other projects

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 11:09 AM PST

Thank you for your response.
I have tried to paste the individual fields, but it automatically pastes the
whole task, and still does not reflect the progress information.

I am aware of the issues with linking this way, like corrupting the link if
I move the file (I learned that the hard way a long time ago), but thank you
for warning me anyway.

Do you have any other suggestions? I guess I have decided that the only way
I can do what I want is to insert an entire project, and apply a filter. The
only problem I have doing it this way is I would like to filter certain tasks
and summary tasks. When I filter any summary tasks, you can still expand the
summary task. Other employees at my company (including my boss) will be
looking at this project and I have a feeling that someone will expand one of
the summary tasks, and there will be total confusion.......I am just not sure
what to do at this point.....

Accumulated % Completed improperly calculated

Posted: 22 Dec 2005 04:39 AM PST

If you are are mandated to use "% complete" you need to be clear *which* "%
complete" you're referring to. Project 2003 tracks 3 separate percentages -
% Complete (duration), % Work Complete (man-hours), and % Physical Complete.
% Complete and % Work Complete are linked by default so that updating one
updates the other but they may be unlinked in the options menu to allow
inpependent entry of each. % Physical Complete is always a manual entry
based on estimated progress (and usually very unreliable because at best
it's a very loosey-goosey concept).

What I find confusing by your method is if you plot duration time along the
X axis and mulative % Complete on the Y axis you don't get an "S" curve,
you will get a 45 degree sloped straight line, at least when you're working
according to plan. Our project schedule requires 100 days. We work exactly
according to plan. At day 25 I'll be 25% complete by definition of "%
Complete." On day 50 I'm 50% complete and on day 75 I'm 75% complete. The
only time this plot deviates from a straight line is if we work more or less
duration hours than have elapsed between start date and the reporting date.
If I work LESS, say have some sick days in there where work was scheduled
but no work took place, the curve may bend downward reflecting on day 75
I've only actually worked for 70 days instead of the 75 originally
scheduled. If somehow we get "2'fers" scheduled to do a task in 2 4-hours
days but do it in 1 8-hour day for example, the curve might bend up. Thus a
real-world curve of ulative % complete might resemble the profile of a
range of foothills ascending towards the edge of a high plateau representing
project finish. But I can't envision any scenario that would cause it to
form a classic "S" curve similar to what you get plotting BCWS other than
purely by accident.

% Complete and % Work Complete are often the same number but just as often
they are not. Example (assuming standard calendars). I have a task to
paint a room, starting Mon 8am and ending Fri 5pm. I assign Joe Painter to
it 100%. Duration is 40 hours, work is 40 man-hours. It's now Thur evening
at 5pm and work has gone according to plan. % Complete = 32/40 = 80% %
Work Complete = 32/40 = 80%. But consider a contoured task ... our painter
is scheduled to do 1 hour prep and seal on Mon, 1 hour applying primer coat
Tue, 1 hour 1st colour coat Wed, 1 hour 2nd colour coat Thu, and 8 hours
finishing detail work Fri. Duration is still 40 hours but this time total
work is 12 man-hours. Again Thur at 5pm and working as planned... %
Complete = 32/40 = 80% BUT % Work Complete = 4/12 = 33%.

When Project calculates the rolled-up Summary % Complete, which at the
Project Summary level would be the ulative % Complete, it uses a weighted
average. The duration of a summary task is not the arithmetic sum of the
subtasks but instead is the time between when the earliest starting task
begins and last finishing task ends. The % Complete of a summary task
however is the AVERAGE completion level of its subtasks. When calculating
Summary % Complete, Project sums the scheduled durations of the individual
subtasks, sums the actual durations worked to date of the individual
subtasks (Duration * % Complete), and divides the 2 totals to derive the
Summary % Complete. It subtracts that from 100 to calculate the Summary %
Remaining. It multiples Summary % Remaining by Summary Duration and
subtracts the resulting interval from the Summary Finish to calculate the
effective "completed through" date. (I think it subtracts from finish
rather than adds to start to correctly handle subtask splits and lags.)

Summary % Work Complete is simpler. The total scheduled work on a summary
task is the simple arithmetic sum of the work scheduled for the subtasks.
Total man-hours worked to date / total man-hours scheduled = % Work
Complete.

AFAIK none of this changed between MSP2000 and MSP2003.

Hope this helps you figuring out how to get the results you need.

Many Word 2013 formatting options suddenly grayed out

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 09:43 PM PST

I installed the full 2013 Office suite (for PC) at one time a few weeks ago  (I never had an earlier version of Office or Word;  my computer only had Open Office before,  and I was accessing Outlook through webmail).  

I had been working on a large document in Word 2013 that involved various formatting tasks such as changing the line spacing  and wrapping text around pictures. 

Suddenly, my options for many of these functions are grayed out:   I can do text editing and change fonts,  but when I went to change the line spacing, I was unable to vary it -- it was grayed out.    

Similarly,, when I clicked on the icon next to the picture that up to now had let me choose a way to wrap text around it,  it gave me the menu but it was grayed out and wouldn't respond to me. 

I tried creating a new document,  and the same problem exists. 

I'm going nuts!   Can anyone give me any help? 

Thanks,

Pat

As it turned out the reason DHCP failed was because during H/W detection
and configuration the network card had not been installed.

The installer needed to search for setup files
and I was given the option to search for the needed files on the cdrom.
I was prompted to mount the cdrom that I had booted from...
but the mount failed. The error message was that no cd was
present...although I was of course running
the installation from the cd !

At that point I figured I'd be better off not attempting a network install.

Your swap is on a lvm logical volume, so we don't currently know what the

Try running "/sbin/vol_id /dev/sda1", to see if it finds the fstype. Same
for sda2 and 3. I'm not sure if vol_id will use /sys/block, or the actual
partition table. Unlike pvscan, it won't hurt to try it, as it doesn't
update any config files, etc.

I've used "sfdisk -d /dev/hdb > sfdisk.txt to create an input file for
sfdisk, and modified it with the info from above. Note that the start

Once you've modified the id for sda1, 2, and 3, save the above
as sfdisk.txt, and then run "sfdisk /dev/sda < sfdisk.txt" Note
that running "sfdisk -T" will show you the id codes for all of the

As a precaution, after running the sfdisk, reinstall lilo or grub,
before trying to reboot.

Back up everything before rebooting. Also make sure you have a bootable

Then why are you trying to boot from the hd? The hd should be cloned,
with the original never being written to, and the clone used for all
examanation.

By trying to boot from the hd, you've allowed cron jobs to run, that
may have modified things on the hard drive. You've destroyed the chain
of evidence. No one can tell if what is on the hard drive now, is the
same as it was when you got it.

X not swapping

Posted: 29 Jul 2008 08:41 PM PDT

"David W. Hodgins" <afraid.org> wrote in message
news:homeip.net... 

Hmm. I'm using a 9600PRO, which is an r300 card (rv350 to be precise), so
'radeon' should be the optimal driver.

According to Debian, xserver-xorg-video-ati is merely a wrapping for
choosing the correct ATi driver, so it would choose radeon for me anyway
(the alternatives being only mach64 or r128).
 

Thanks. I've found a few guides for this, and I think the problem is with
AGPFastWrite. If I set it to "on", X does not start at all (there are plenty
of warnings about this - it seems to be a very risky option).

Hopefully future development of the open source r300 driver will improve
rendering acceleration, which may solve this problem.

all memory used after booting

Not sure what you mean "used up". Linux uses spare memory as a cache for
old programs/data, just in case you want them again. Speeds up loading. Why
in the world do you want spare memory just sitting there when it could do
something useful. If some running program needs the memory that is being
used for caching, that cached stuff is thrown away and the menory handed
over to what needs it, so there is no penalty.

ide controller ordering on 2.4.26

Having established its 2.6.26 we're talking about here... [oops].

Well I can see that hardcoding devices into drivers is a *bad* idea as
is putting them into the kernel but I still don't quite understand why
the option for me to choose to hard code it has been removed and also my
comment on the doentation stands - it does suggest ide0,1 are
reserved for the ID channels found at 0x170, 0x1f0 ie. the 'standard' IO
ports.
 

Ok, well I think I can see how to modify the system to do this although
there are a few holes I can see - partitions that are not ext3 for
example ("swap" plus I also have a DOS partition which is user mountable
in my fstab...) So I'd still like to leave it as is (as a preference).

So I went straight to F9 CDs with no problem.

Microsoft Word - weird indentation on odd pages

Microsoft Word - weird indentation on odd pages

weird indentation on odd pages

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 01:56 PM PST

The bullets and paragraph on my odd pages doesn't seem to respond to the indentations on the ruler correctly, it's like it's going the other way around. If I move the lower left indentation to the right then the paragraph responds as if I moved it to the left. I'm working with quite a lot of bullets and numbering so this is messing me up. Here's several snips to better explain what I'm experiencing

I tried making a new document and wrote random stuff but it worked just fine. btw I'm still using office 2007 and just installed several windows update, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance

title case capitalizing The

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 01:23 PM PST

I just typed something up, then realized I stupidly forgot to capitalize the words in the title.

Being lazy, I tried the "change case" from the tools menu and chose "title case".

However, it capitalized the first letter of every word, including a "the" in the middle of the title.

I thought Word 2003 was smarter than that. Was I remembering wrong, remembering a different version (Word 97, 2000, XP), thinking of ClarisWorks 4.0 or Open Office Writer, or is there a feature to make it do it the correct MLA way like I learned in elementary school 25-30 years ago?

If it is a preference or feature, how do I enable it? If I was thinking of a different word processor, could somebody remind me for my sanity's sake which one it was (ClarisWorks 3.0/4.0 on the mid to late '90s Macs or Open Office Writer)?

Unfortunately, my Mac is dead, so I can't test ClarisWorks, but I can try Open Office or LibreOffice.

New Office 2013 Install On Win 7. Nothing Is Working?

Posted: 26 Dec 2014 09:35 AM PST

So I just installed Office 2013 on Windows 7 Pro.  The install appeared to work fine (i.e. no error messages).

So I go to start up Word and get the document page,  so I select blank document.  It seems to come up but then I immediately I get:  Microsoft Word has stopped working.  I haven't tried every one of the Office 2013 programs but I get the same error trying Excel.

Ideas?

Multiple Table of Content links per row in a Word document

Posted: 25 Dec 2014 10:25 PM PST

Hello,

Is there any way to place multiple table of content (TOC) links in a single row?

For example, suppose you have a document in which the TOC displays links for Sections (Heading 1), Topics (Heading 2) and Chapters (Heading 3) as follows:


Section I
        1st Topic
                Chapter 1
                Chapter 2
                Chapter 3
                Chapter 4
        2nd Topic
                Chapter 1
                Chapter 2
…and so on.

Is it possible to change the TOC formatting so that the word "Chapter" is not repeatedly shown and the Heading 2 levels are each on a different row but the Heading 3 levels are on the same row?

Like this: 

Section I
        1st Topic 1 2 3 4
        2nd Topic 1 2
…and so on.

Thanks

Can't delete a user / assign a license

Posted: 10 Aug 2005 08:07 PM PDT

First, Deployment Manager can only be used to add new users to the system.
Changes to existing users are done via the web app in the system settings area
under Business Units. You can modify the licenses assigned to user there as
well as their roles.

In order to drop the DB's, you first need to disable the tion
publications on those DB's. This can be done in enterprise Manager, but your
server can not be registered as (local), it must be registered in EM under the
machine name.

There have been made some improvements in the workflow engine of CRM 3.0. But

Adding an email Signature

There's no way to automatically add a signature, but each user can create a
template for this purpose (Tools > Options > Email Templates tab). They just
need to insert it whenever they create an email in CRM.

Thanks for the reply Matt.

The funny thing is, and I probably should have stated this, we haven't
changed anything in Deployment Manager. I don't think anyone has been into
the Deployment Manager in ages. I did add a picklist value to an unrelated
field so I published that and that's it.

User Access Error in MSCRM

Posted: 09 Aug 2005 11:45 AM PDT

Hi Tami,

I now have MSCRM working.
I did the following:

1. Used Resolution 3 of your suggestions, which show that the Root Business
unit was disabled.
2. I Ran a SQL Update query to change the IsDisabled column to 0.
3. I changed the CRMAppPool Identity under IIS Application pools to
LocalSystem from NetworkService.

We are now able to fully access MSCRM. I am aware of the warnings of using
LocalSystem account as the Application identity. If you have any suggestions
I would be grateful.

Thank you very much for your help on this.

MC CRM and MapPoint in the UK

Hi John

I tried one of Microsoft's addresses in the US and it worked fine, so it
seems to be a UK related issue - either UK not being available on the staging

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your reply - yes User A is a local admin and so is User B.
User B can create users, modify forms / settings and licences okay
inside CRM - User B is also a local admin on the machine. The
CRMSecurityService is configured to run using a specified account User
C which also is a local admin on the machine but is not a user of the
CRM system. Don't know if this makes a difference or not. Logging on to
the machine as User B or User C both get the same error message. Thanks
for any more help you can give!

Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately without AD in place none of the redeployment tools will work.

I have looked into past Threads and everyone keeps saying that the SID would
be different, which is what i assumed. What i fail to see is where this SID
is stored. If it is stored somewhere then surely i can change this to the new
SID.

Can someone please shed some light on where these SIDs are located in the
Databases???

Thank you.
