Replace word in sentence function...
I have the following function which replaces a word in a sentence with "....." =REPLACE(I2,SEARCH(E2,I2),LEN(E2),".....") Where the word is E2 and the sentence is I2.

Picture > Organization chart
I tried to use the Organization Chart and it tell's me that Excel can't open the application. That the feature is not currently installed. I tried to install and it gives me an error message that the feature is on an unavailable network, try \\Anchor-bdc2\backup\office2000\DATA1.MSI Installer error 1603 Sounds like the IT person installed from a network that needed a password. Without the password, you can't connect.

Replacing Powerpoint 97 SR-2 on M/S Office 97 Pro Edit on Win XP
I dread asking this in case someone descends on me like a ton of bricks and says the answer is in the posts already! - but i I have never used the PP 97 which came with the MS Office 97 Pro Edit I have installed on my computer which uses Win XP with Ser Pack 3.

Search and replace problem
Hi, I have an Excel worksheets where in several cell's a symbol was added to mark the cell's "to review". The symbol used was "(*)". I have tried now to delete all the entries with a "search and replace", but Excel interpretes the asterisk as a DOS-symbol and deletes everythng between brackets. Is there a way to avoid that or to let Excel know that I only want to delete the specific characters. TIA Melissa It's because it is a wildcard, you can replace it by preceding it with a tilde ~ which tell Excel to find an asterisk in find what p...

Selective Replace in Search and Replace
I need to search and replace in a large document. I don't want to replace the entire search term/expression just part of it. In this case I am searching for a paragraph return followed by any letter (not digit) and then want to change that to paragraph/tab but keep the letter.

Unable to get the Interior property of the PlotArea class
Hi, I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and VB.Net with ASP.Net to create an Excel workbook with an Excel chart in a worksheet. Most of the code works that I developed in VBA. The chart is created. But, it fails to find any properties or methods of the PlotArea class. Even though they are "available" in the context menu. This line works: xlApp.ActiveChart.ChartArea.Border.LineStyle = 0 But this fails: xlApp.ActiveChart.PlotArea.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone with the error message "Unable to get the Interior property of the PlotArea class" (xlNone is a constant) ...

Replace wildcards with a space
I have a text field with all values containing an asterisk. The asterisk can be located anywhere within the contents. I am trying to replace the asterisk with a space. I will then use TRIM to remove any spaces at the beginning of the text. I have been unable to get an update query to work. When my criteria is like "~[*}", Access says that 0 rows will be updated. When the criteria is [*], I am asked to enter a parameter value. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks - bkh Barbara wrote: >I have a text field with all values containing an aste...

Order By On Load property
Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me the purpose of the Order By On Load property for a form, report, or query. I have read through a Help topic which says : " If you want the last-applied sort order to be automatically applied the next time that you open the object, set the Order By On Load property to Yes." If I save an object with the last-applied sort order, it always opens the last way it was sorted, regardless of what this property is set to. If I apply a sort, and do not save the object, the sort is not displayed the next time, even if this property is set to ...

Using a Fixed List in Custom Properties
I put a variable Prop.Sex in Custom Properties, with ="M;F". In trying to use the property, I'm getting nowhere. I want to change the line color of the shape with this property, so I enter, for line color, =if(Prop.Sex="M",3,4) -- or whatever colors I choose. However, when I change the sex, the line color doesn't change. String comparisons in Visio's ShapeSheet are not obvious, and you can't just use "=". Don't feel bad about missing this, it's black-magic-obscurity. You need to use the StrSame function, i.e.: If(StrSame(Prop.Sex, &...

Pictures for a Publication
I'm printing up yearbooks and have a question on pictures. When the schools send me the whole yearbook setup, the file is so large that it takes forever to spool and print the job. I got around the problem by grouping the objects per page and creating a jpeg then replace the page with the jpeg image. This works great for picture clarity but any Wordart images or text has pixelation around the image. Also, I tried changing each page into a PDF but sometimes it drops pictures out so I don't trust using this method. It's OK for this year but I would like to educate the people tha...

Signature Pictures Not Showing Up.
When I create my signature with my photo and logo it shows up as blank with a red 'x' when I open to start a new email message. Does anyone know how to get it so the picture and logo show up? Maybe the file that had your picture is not accessible for some reason (maybe it was deleted). Look in the: Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures folder for a subfolder containing the images for the signature file you have selected in Tools/Options/Mail Format/Signatures. The picture needs to be there for Outlook to grab it for new email messages. ...

Find / Replace
In a field, I would like to update all instances of "Daily Billing" to "Rental Payment - Daily Billing".
