How to define a style to include built-in text?I need a style that has its own text. For example, Caution_Head would say
"Caution" without my having to type it. I don't see where this is entered in
the style dialog. Thanks for any tips.

The only way to do this is as a "bullet." See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/QandA.htm (Word 2003 and earlier) or

Why is Actual Work updated when entering time into Work Field?We're using MS Project 2007 and seeing that sometimes when time is entered
into the Work field for a task, that task's Actual Work is updated to the
same value entered in the Work field. This happens to multiple resources,
but only on some of their tasks and not on others. For example, for the
weeks of 1/24 and 1/31, whatever hours I schedule (enter in the "work" cell
in the Resource Usage View) for a given task also appears in the "actual"
cell.
The tasks are setup up differently. Some are Fixed Work, some are Fixed
Duration. I believe all have the e...
Row Height Adds Blank Space at End of TextHi,
We have a spreadsheet where the row height is automatically expanded to add
extra, blank space at the end of the cells. We manually adjust the row
height, save, close, and when we re-open, the space is back. There are no
extraneous returns in the cells. Anyone know how to fix this? Auto Fit does
not work. Thanks

Filter records by date in subform by date entered in mainform.Hello, I've spent 3 days trying to understand what I'm doing
wrong.....Here is the summary of my problem.
I have a form named 'frm_EfficiencyStats' and a subform within the
form named 'qry_Total hours subform' (the subform is based on a
query). The form contains a text box (for date) which is bound to a
table 'tbl_EfficiencyStats'.
I would like to be able to enter a date in the text box on my form,
and display the records in the subform based on the date I entered in
the text box. The subform will only pull records from my table based
on the date.

Copy only part of text stringHi,
Wonder if someone maybe able to help me please.
I have a database at work that contains details of test files. One of the
fields for each test shows that actual error that caused the file to fail.
The problem is, is that there is an awful lot of text from this field that I
don't need to extract.
The text I need to extract starts with the word Error and then the rest of
the text that comes after it in the text string. The word Error can appear
anywhere within the text string, but having worked through all of the
failures I beleive that 'Error' can be used as the guide to star...
Signature and text format queryI have created a signature which inserts automatically when I click New,

But when right clicking a file and selecting Send To, Mail Recipient it

format instead?
Also, how can I set it up so that my own signature that I have created
automatically appears when the untitled message opens up (instead of having
to insert it manually afterwards)?
The same question applies when I have an open file (eg: ...

Buzz,
Looking in Help for formatting shorcuts yielded nothing. You can roll your
own, using the underlines. For wrap text, it's a bit long. Alt-o, e, a,
Alt-w, Enter. For vertical centering, Alt-o, e, a, Alt-V, c, Enter.
Or you could record a ma...

Resource Units for Tasks entered in PWA differs than tasks entered in Project 2007Hello,
I have an ePM user asking why if he enters a project task in PWA does
it not check the resource max units allocation the same way as when he
enters a task in Project Professional.
For example:
You have a project where resource A is 50% allocated. When you create
a task in Project Professional for this resource, the resource
allocation is set to 50%.
Create a task under the same project in PWA, submit and approve the
task.
Open project professional and view the task information for the task
entered in PWA, why is the resource allocation set to 100% instead of
50% set for th...

Resizing row height to dynamically fit height of text boxIs there a way to link the height of a text box to the height of a row so
that as you type text into the text box and the text box's height increases,
the row height will also increase?
I know That by setting the "Move and size with cells" option you can make
the TEXT BOX height increase as the ROW height increases, but I'm looking to
do the opposite (i.e. make the ROW height increase as the TEXT BOX height
increases).
Not too complicate things too much, but I was also hoping to do this within a
protected sheet.

Wrap text and row autofitHello,
If Wrap text is enabled for a cell, the row autofit function works properly.
But if I merge 2 or more cells in a row, then autofit doesn't work. It sets
itself to the height of 1 row even if the contents require more than 1 row's
height.
Pls help.
Note: Excel 2003 version.

how do I copy several lines of word text into one excel cell?In a word doc I need to copy several lines of text and paste them into one

You can either double click the cell or press F2 key to get into edit mode
for the cell, then the text pasted would all go into the cell.

Word Wrapping TextApplied word wrap to data within cell; word wrap only
applied to portion of data within cell. When viewing in
print preview only a portion of the text is displayed.
Please help.
Thank you in advance.
You didn't whether it didn't fit the column or the row. Try re-formatting
the cell -
<Format><Row><Height><Autofit>
Print preview doesn't always show everything. Regard this as a thumbnail
view rather than an actual representation of the page to be printed.

You can precede your entry with a single quote...
'5-9
....or format your cells as 'Text'.

Shared calendar does not show text in appointmentsI've had a request for help because a user on our network, who has access
permission to her bosses calendar, has a problem. When the PA sets new
appointments she can see botht he new item and all the other appointments,
whether she set them up or her boss did.
However, when the Boss looks in the calender for herself, the ones set up by
the PA show as blank spaces, but the subject line does not show the text.
The PA knows how wto do this and IS using the subject line properly to
detail what the appointment is for.
