Word 2010 beta: Cannot save my Normal.dotm file
Using the Word 2010 beta on Win7. I cannot save my Normal.dotm file - at least not usefully. I can open the file, edit it, add macros to it, whatever, and it will save (in the folder directory, the .dotm file will show a change in file size). But when I close Word, or if I open a new document in Word, the Normal.dotm file is reset to the default, losing any changes I've made. I can save and use other .dotm templates; but not the default Normal.dotm template. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/office2010 -- Susan Ramlet -- please reply to the newsgroup...

visible cell only
I'd like to use the PERCENTILE function in a list that has been autofiltered and get the results based only on the visible cells. I've used SUBTOTAL in order to get count, average, min and max. But I need to get the .25 and .75 percentile figures for the filtered data (visible cells only). I've scoured these forums. I've scoured the web. I've found some vba code that was supposed to select only visible cells but it doesn't work for me. I posted last week in the programming section of these forums (and again this morning) but got no reply. I figure...

Using part of a cell in a chart title
I have a chart which should get a title. However, this should be partly be used from a cell e.g. "counted with 5%" 5% should be taken from the cell and used in the title. Is this possible? Hi, Yes it's possible but all of the chart title needs to be in the cell. So you may need to use a helper cell and concatenate text and value. http://www.andypope.info/tips/tip001.htm Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "Nicole" <Nicole@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5CB7A971-AA7F-4C34-BB42-7DC283AA2958@micro...

move cell contents
Is there a way to move a cell contents to another cell with a formula. ex: if a5="Name" then move g5 to j5? Also, I am using =INDEX(Sheet1!B3:B12,INT((RAND()*10)+1),1) to pick random names from a list. I have the formula in different place pick random names from different list. This does work, but I have different list with some of the same names and with the random pick I do not want the same name to appear. -- Thanks for any and all help.

Standard MFC controls behave different when showing polish characters
Hello all, I have a rather simple to describe but difficult to solve problem. Our customers want to use our ANSI MFC program to show different languages. For example Polish. When I set the font for the different controls they behave different. For example the CEdit shows the polish characters just right but the CButton with checkbox style shows glyphs instead of the special characters. Every control that is owner draw and uses for example the DrawText() function of the device context shows the characters right. I've experimented with _UNICODE for the display part and everything I could ...

MS Money 95 data files
I hope that some one can answer this for me.

Unexpected error message on closing an Excel file
Suddenly I am getting the following message when I try to close a workbook: "Your formula contains an invalid external reference to a worksheet. Verify that the path, workbook, and range name or cell reference are correct, and try again" The mysterious thing is that it does not happen consistently and that, after I click OK after the above message, I can still save the file. What might be the cause of this error message and can the "invalid reference" be tracked down using one of the utility add-ins such as J. Walkenbach's PUP? If it only happens when you close ...

Percentage difference
Hi guys, Not exactly great at formulas, so any help would be appreciated. Excel 2207 In cell k2 and below are buying prices. In cell j2 and below are selling prices. I just need to know the 'mark-up' percentage. Also, would be a great advantage for the formula to work the other way around....showing 'loss' as well !!!!!!!!!!!! Have tried: =2*ABS(J2-K2) / (J2 + K2) and =(J2-K2)/J2 and several other variations, but to no avail. Not sure whether I am needing 'relative' or 'absolute' either!!

Where is the workspace file stored?
I was given a project folder containing several dozen files. So where is the workspace file normally located? If I don't have a workspace file how can I cerate one? Using VC version 6.

Change File Locations to Private Drive (not Folder)
Hi, I know that I can use "File Locations" in "Options" so that whenever I use the "Open..." command in Word, it will open to a specific folder. I'm wondering if there is a way that this can be applied not to a folder but to a specific drive on a network. Our company has a main public drive and has also assigned each of the Staff their own private drive. Is there a way to access the "main page" (for lack of a better term) of my private drive each time I use "Open..." in Word? Right now it goes to "My Computer" or ...

what's the formula for adding symbols in cells?
I have a chart that has blank info in the legend. I want to add an * to indicate something, but just inserting a symbol doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

How can I change 'Normal' Style for Word e-mails to 'Normal (Web)'?
Hi, I'm using Word as my e-mail editor in Outlook 2003 and want to change the default Style for e-mails from 'Normal' to 'Normal (Web)'. The problem is that new e-mails and replies in HTML format use the 'Normal' Microsoft Word 'Style', and this has no gap after paragraphs. The upshot of this is that when sending an e-mail, I have to press return twice to create a gap, but when the recipient views this, their software shows it as four gaps (the extra carriage return I typed + their correctly viewed HTML carriage return after each line). E.g. I type this: ...
