YAKINDA DAHA ÇOK İÇERİKLE KARŞINIZDAYIZ.

Microsoft Office

joemaccuac — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:42:09 +0000

Hoy he decidido escribir acerca de cómo con Mac se pueden tener las mismas funcionalidades (y muchas más) que se tienen en un PC, y que echan para atrás a muchos pensando que lo que hacen actualmente en sus equipos no lo podrán hacer con un Mac... pues no hay nada mas alejado de la realidad, ya que es posible hacer las mismas cosas pero con un sistema operativo estable, sin virus y en definitiva "mejor".

Próximamente hablaré de todas aquellas aplicaciones que sustituyen a las de los PC, si tenéis alguna duda sobre algún software especifico solo tenéis que dejar un comentario.

Iniciaré esta serie de artículos con Microsoft Office, que para muchos es la principal pega para no pasar a Mac; este miedo es infundado, ya que si bien Microsof Office está hecho para PC, la versión para Mac es mucho mejor.

La suite de Microsoft Office para Mac incluye:

Microsoft Entourage
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Messenger
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Word

Cada una de las anteriores aplicaciones además podría ser fácilmente sustituida por alguna existente en iLife e iWork y para el caso de Messenger el cliente de mensajería Adium (también tengo planeado escribir acerca de ellas), y si se cree que los formatos entre Mac y PC son incompatibles no hay nada mas alejado de la realidad ya que cualquier fichero generado en Mac es visible en el PC y viceversa.

Milestones past their Due Date

Duane — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:37:47 +0000

This post is in response to a comment made by a reader recently in the Project Tips & Tricks post earlier this year. The comment from Natasha is as follows:
"Is there anyway to make past due milestones a certain color?? I have green for milestones that were complete, black for milestones that are in the future, and I’d like to make milestones that the date has already passed but the % complete is zero = Red. how can i do this?"

Well Natasha, this post answers that question. So read on and enjoy!

I had a bit of a think about this after reading the comment and in the end decided using a Flag field would be the best way to do this. So the first thing to do is to Customise a Flag field with a formula where we compare the Start Date of any task/milestone with today. The reason I went with the current date is to represent where the "date has passed". You could use Start Date and Baseline Date, but until the milestone is done, there wouldn't be any value in Start Date, thus unworkable. Anyway ...

Go to Tools>Customize>Fields.
Choose the Flag field type from the dropdown box. It is your choice if you rename the Flag1 field, I didn't bother.
Press the Formula button and enter the following formula:
IIf([Start]<Now(),"Yes","No")

Press OK.

Then go to your Gantt Chart Bar Styles. I commonly double click any available space of the Gantt Chart.

Create a new Bar Style by going to the next blank line.
Name it Past Milestone (or something else that suits you better)
In the "Show For ... Tasks", choose Milestone, type comma (,), then choose Flag1
Change the "To" field to Start.
Change the Appearance to a Solid Diamond with a colour of your choice.

Press OK.

The following screen shots show what happens with a milestone that is before and after the date of 3rd October 2008 (the Now() date when I created this post). The No and Yes values that are visible are from the Flag1 field that I inserted into the Task Sheet.

The next set of screen shots are what happens when the task is 100% complete with this new Milestone Bar Style pre & post today. As can be seen, it does not matter when the Milestone is completed, it still turns green (the Completed Milestone colour)

Hopefully that answers your question Natasha. I know it doesn't fully look at the question you asked in regard to a milestone past its Due Date. I had thought of Actual Start greater than Baseline Start, but this means you have to complete the milestone; there is the option of Not Started that I noticed in the Bar Style "Show for ... Tasks" area, but this also doesn't fully answer your question, unless you made the Flag1 field use a formula of IIf({% Complete]=0,"Yes","No") and made the "Show for ... Tasks" Milestone,Not Started,Flag1 and see if that works.

Het "slotje" van de Formulierenwerkbalk in Word 2007 is teruggevonden!

Outlook: This morning I found my mail folders, but it looks like they are secondary and not the primary folders. mail is going into 2 in boxes....no calendar or contacts.

The Chargers: Well they pulled it off last night beating the Jets handily. So far this year they've scores 110 points in 3 games. the irony is as great as that sounds, they are only 1-2. the offense plays great last night, and the defense...well enough to contain the Jets, which I guess isn't saying much. Next up...Oakland.

The Padres: swept the Nationals...again, not saying much, but there is a magic number to be had here. The number is "2." The Padres need to win 2 of the last 6 games of the season to avoid loosing 100 games this year. Can they do that? Maybe. We have 3 with LA, then 3 at home vs. the Pirates. we can take 2 from them. From the looks of it, we can pretty much beat up on the bottom feeders of the league.

The Ladybugs: Well the girls played well moving the ball passing, and scoring one goal. the problem, it was one goal too few. We played an average team that had one girl that was a head above the rest. She was also a rough player taking out 2 of my girls, and eventually knocking Blondie outta the game with a kicked ball to the face. I don't usually have a problem with the way kids play, but this girl was really forcing herself over our players. When we challenged her head to head, we usually one the ball, but if we were side to side, a well placed shove, would put our girl was on the turf. The ref explained that he could not call for size difference; however there was a trend that I saw. The bright spot again is that the girls played well. After ta first half of shoving that girl moved into goal, we were able to play a more evenly pitted game. it seems strange to me that one player could make that much difference in the way the game goes. Frankly she wasn't a factor in the outcome...she didn't score, she just pushed us around a little. the rest of her team was really pretty average.

PPTPlex - Presentations on a Canvas

mjlmo — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:34:56 +0000

pptPlex is a plug-in that explores an alternate method for presenting a PowerPoint slide deck. Using pptPlex, you can present your slides as a tour through a zoom able canvas instead of a series of linear slides.

However, once I had downloaded and installed it, it failed to load with an error. Running windows XP SP3, MS Office 2007, when I open PPT I didn't see any ribbons or options for Plex. Going into Powerpoint Options / Addins, Plex is listed, so I click on Go for managing COM Add-Ins. I get a dialogue showing Plex is disabled with the message: Location: mscoree.dll Load Behaviour: Not loaded. A run-time error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-In.

After a while investigating, I found that getting the Primary Interop Assembly for Office 2007 from Microsoft at this link here, would solve the problem.

PPTplex is really a must have add-in for teachers and alike because it add some originality even if your slides are dull :)

Anatomy of a Bug Report -- Presented via a MSOffice 'Bug in the Wild'

Steve — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 02:45:10 +0000

The importance of a bug report is definitely understated; it is the difference between something getting fixed, and something getting filed away. I am going to present my version of a 'good' bug report through reporting a bug I found while I was MS Office 2007. First though I am going to outline the sections:

Title
The title is actually the most important part of the bug report, it is essential that it is possible to know what the whole problem is simply based on the title. If you cannot express what the bug is completely in the title, you have to think more about before reporting it.

Preconditions
Pretty straight forward, put what needs to be setup before the bug occurs, it can also include what machine configuration you used (if its meaningful)

Steps To Reproduce
Another straight forward area of the bug report. what you want to aim for here is that someone who knows nothing about the bug and possibly very little about the product can reproduce it. There preferrably should be no questions about how to hit the problem again (I do realize this is problematic with the bugs that appear to happen 'randomly')

Bug Details
The important things to include here are what the problem is (as you see it) and what you think should be happening. If you do not but a suggestion or desired outcome, the bug is not nearly as useful.

Frequency
This is a field that does not always apply, it generally is important with bugs that have to do with scalability and ones that seem to happen intermittently.

The Bug Report:

Title: Having the 'Create Source' window open results in any other open window becoming unusable

Preconditions:

Two instances of MS Office Open

Steps to Reproduce

In the first MS office window click the references tab
In the toolbar click 'Insert Citation'
In the drop down list click 'New Source', the create source window will open
Click the mouse onto the second Office window

Bug Details

At this point nothing can be done in the second open window, you cannot click, or manipulate the window in any way.
Desired Outcome: The second MS Office window should not be affected by the Create Source window in any fashion
Note: A further issue is that a new Office window does cannot be opened (for example from the start window)

Frequency

Anytime the Create Source window is open

So there you have the bug report, if I had access to the proper software I would also have made and attached a video of the problem, video is a great bug reporting tool, one that I suggest is BB TestAssistant .

Let me know what you thought of my bug report! Does it match how you file bugs?

Using conditional formating in MS Excel

abogawat — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:11:23 +0000

Ok, this one is nowhere related to design, but it's a nice tip anyways. Someone recently came to enquire how one would use conditional formatting in MS Excel to grey out columns that belonged to weekends in a project plan. I decided to create a quick screencast to explain it.

I'm embedding the video from vimeo.com here, but unfortunately the HD version doesn't seem to work in the embedded player. I would highly recommend checking out the HD version to get all the details.

Reading docx files with OpenOffice

technofreak — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:40:33 +0000

There are problems not because we use some lame software, but because our lesser sane friends decide to use some non-FOSS software which produces documents in some proprietary format. This has become too common since people started moving to Microsoft Office 2007 that the earlier .doc documents became a whole new challenge in the form of .docx documents.

My colleague had to face one such challenge today, while all he had was an Ubuntu box with OpenOffice. Hence, we had to make an effort to read the docx document with what's available with us. And we founded a solution which is pretty easy to implement.

Install libungif4g using apt or synaptic (or whatever your distribution uses)
Download ODF Converter Integrator from here and install it
If you had OpenOffice open during this process, just close it down and reopen it.

Now, you should be able to view .docx files in OpenOffice. I was told that it takes some time for it to load the file, which might be because it internally converts the docx file to doc and/or to odf. We encountered similar looking solutions from [1] and [2] as well, but the above one worked for us.

Use Excel to compare two lists of data

coolhake — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:08:45 +0000

Applies to: Microsoft Office Excel 2003

For financial record-keeping, you often have to compare two lists to
find data that appears on one but not on the other. Which new clients
need to be added to the master database? Which credit card receipts are
not reflected on the monthly statement, and vice versa? What checks and
deposits are still outstanding? It's a tedious task if you do it
manually.

Microsoft Office Excel 2003 can help you perform this task faster
and more accurately. In many cases, you can do it even if the data is
not provided in a standardized form in both lists.

Comparing two lists of assets

In this article, you'll use data from the Compare Two Lists sample datasheet to learn how an accountant could use Excel functions to compare two lists of assets — the fixed asset records for a company and a property tax affidavit that must be updated annually. It's a five-step process:

Make sure each asset has a unique identifier.
Find assets on the property tax affidavit that are not in the fixed asset records.
Find assets in the fixed asset records that are not on the property tax affidavit.
Sort lists to see nonmatching assets more easily.
Review nonmatching assets and check for accuracy.

Step 1: Make sure each asset has a unique identifier

The following illustrations show the two lists that you want to
compare — a list of assets from a property tax affidavit and a list of
fixed asset records.

Business assets on property tax affidavit and on fixed asset records

As you see, the property tax affidavit does not have unique
identifiers, such as asset numbers, for each asset. But to compare
these lists, assets in each one must have a unique identifier.

In this example, the best way to identify each asset is by a
combination of asset description and date, so you'll add a new column
called "Description & Date" to each list.

Note In the Compare Asset Lists sample
datasheet, the property tax affidavit and the fixed asset records have
been copied onto one worksheet.

Add a "Description & Date" column to the fixed asset records

In the Fixed Asset Records area of the worksheet, select the Asset column,
and then on the Insert menu, click Columns.
In cell G2, type Description & Date, and then press ENTER.
Select cell G2.
On the Format menu, click Cells, click the Alignment tab, select Wrap text, and then click OK.
In cell G3, type =H3&" "&YEAR(I3). This combines the description from cell H3 and the year from cell I3 into one field.
To copy the formula from cell G3 to cell G14, select cell G3 and then drag the fill handle to cell G14.
To make the column width fit the results, double-click the boundary to the right of the Description & Date column heading.

Fixed asset records with combined description and date in new column

Add a "Description & Date" column to the property tax affidavit

In the Property Tax Affidavit area of the worksheet, select the column to the right of the Cost column, and then on the Insert menu, click Columns.
In cell E2, type Description & Date, and then press ENTER.
Select cell E2.
On the Format menu, click Cells, click the Alignment tab, select Wrap text, and then click OK.
In cell E3, type =C3&" "&B3.
To copy the formula from cell E3 to cell E12, select cell E3, and then drag the fill handle to cell E12.
To make the column width fit the results, double-click the boundary to the right of the Description & Date column heading.

Property tax affidavit with combined description and date in new column

Now that you're comparing apples to apples, you can get down to business.

Step 2: Find assets on the property tax affidavit that are not in the fixed asset records

In the Property Tax Affidavit worksheet, select the column to the right of the Description & Date column,
and then on the Insert menu, click Columns.
In cell F2, type Missing?.
In cell F3, type =ISNA(MATCH(E3,$I$3:$I$14,FALSE)).
To copy the formula from cell F3 to cell F12, select cell F3, and then drag the fill handle to cell F12.

Assets that are on the property tax affidavit but not in the fixed asset records will display TRUE in the Missing? column.

New
Missing? column showing whether an asset is not found in other list

Step 3: Find assets in the fixed asset records that are not on the property tax affidavit

In the Fixed Asset Records worksheet, in cell M2, type Missing?.
In cell M3, type =ISNA(MATCH(I3,$E$3:$E$12,FALSE)), and then press ENTER.
To copy the formula from cell M3 to cell M14, Select cell M3, and then drag the fill handle to cell M14.

Assets that are in the fixed asset records but not on the property tax affidavit will display TRUE in the Missing? column.

Step 4: Sort lists to see nonmatching assets more easily

To more easily see the assets that are not on both lists, you can sort the lists.

Note If you sort the lists without first
following these steps to convert the formulas to values, the formulas
will not calculate correctly. In a large database, converting the
formulas to values can also help avoid long recalculation times.

Sort for nonmatching assets in the Property Tax Affidavit worksheet

Drag the pointer to select cells A2 to F12.
On the Edit menu, click Copy.
On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
In the Paste Special dialog box, under Paste, click Values, and then click OK.
On the Data menu, click Sort.
Under My data range has, click Header row; in the Sort by box, click Missing?, and then click OK.

Sort for nonmatching assets in the Fixed Asset Records worksheet

Drag the pointer to select cells H2 to M14.
On the Edit menu, click Copy.
On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
In the Paste Special dialog box, under Paste, click Values, and then click OK.
On the Data menu, click Sort.
Under My data range has, click Header row; in the Sort by box, click Missing?, and then click OK.

You can now easily see which assets may need to be added or deleted to update the property tax affidavit.

Property tax affidavit and fixed asset records sorted by
Missing? column

Step 5: Review nonmatching assets and check for accuracy

Before you update the property tax affidavit, it's a good idea to
manually review the nonmatching assets — which is fortunately a lot
faster than manually comparing the entire list. Review the nonmatching
assets and determine why they don't match. Were the assets retired or
sold? Are they new assets that should be added, or are they assets that
are not required to be reported on the affidavit? Or did the assets
fail to find a match because of misspellings or other errors?

Other ways to prepare data for matching

Sometimes the data in two lists must be standardized before Excel
can compare the lists. In the preceding example, the dates in one list
were converted to years, and two fields were combined into one. The
following table shows common data inconsistencies and suggested Excel
functions that you can use to prepare data for matching.

Problem	Example	How to modify
Inconsistent abbreviations	Litware, Inc. vs. Litware, Incorporated	Use the LEFT function to create a field with only the number of characters from the left that you specify.
Extra numbers or characters on one list	12345 vs. 12345-1033	Use the LEFT or RIGHT functions to create a field with only the number of characters from the left or right that you specify.
Imprecise numbers caused by estimates, rounding variances, or sales tax	$12,000 vs. $12,011	Use the ROUND function to create a field with comparable amounts.
Extra spaces	Jae B. Pak vs. Jae B. Pak	Use the TRIM function to remove all spaces from text except single spaces between words.

OpenOffice + MS Office 2007 OXML + Zamzar = Verdadero dolor de huevos

Link — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 05:37:51 +0000

Nunca habia tenido que utilizar tantas cosas para hacer un simple trabajo... Pero tuve que utilizar unos formatos (o plantillas) ya hechos por personas sin sentido comun que en lugar de dar facilidades, solo hicieron que todos nos quisieramos torcer los huevos...

A pesar de que la gran mayoría de las personas utiliza Office 2003 o alguna versión mas antigua, a estas personas se les ocurrió pasar sus dichosos formatos en nada mas y nada menos que en OXML, haciendo que casi todos tuviéramos que trabajar mas para poder utilizar estas mugres plantillas adecuadamente.

¿Pero que no se supone que ya hay soporte OXML en OpenOffice(por medio de Novell)?
Pues es cierto que puedes abrir documentos, pero si tienen tablas o cualquier otra cosa, al abrirlos tendras muchos problemas por el hecho de que es una reverenda mierda.

Lo bueno fue que pude convertir los docx por medio de Zamzar.

Espero que los estupidos que aprobaron que sea estandar esta mierda sufran y se arrepientan de esto toda su vida.

Microsoft Office 2007 Setup Failed Nightmares

SMallard — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:57:24 +0000

Recently Mike Miller and I battled Office 2007 Enterprise setup on Amy Martin's computer. We searched Google, cleaned the registry, cleaned temp files, did a chkdsk, and everything possible. The information in the link below doesn't provide a fix put a great hint! Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove any, any add-ons, xml or Beta products.

Level Anak SMP, katanya !!!

diantokam — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:44:28 +0000

Sudah setahunan ini kantor kami bermigrasi ke arah open source dan melakukan legalisasi software-software yang memang belum dan tidak tergantikan di open source, misalkan saja Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, dan Quark Xpress, serta MYOB dan beberapa software lainnya, lumayan...hampir 50% koputer yang memang bisa dimigrasikan sudah beralih ke Linux, untuk distro, kita melakukan beberapa kali uji coba, dan pilihan terakhir kita adalah SLAX 5.18 dan Vector Linux, yang memang didesain khusus untuk kecepatan dan memang itu yang kita iniginkan, distro linux yang cepat dan responsive serta gampang dalam hal admin serta remasternya dan menurut kami Slackware dan turunannya yang memenuhi semua kriteria kami. Untuk aplikasi kantor kami memakai openoffice 2.3 dan openoffice versi 1.x untuk windows 98.
Selama setahun sudah linux terbukti bisa menggantikan posisi windows xp profesional bajakan yang dulunya dipakai dikantor, kalau pun ada masalah itu umumnya menyangkut driver untuk printer, tapi sudah bisa ditangani (termasuk menggunakan turboprint), namun kendala terbesar umumnya terjadi pada SDm-nya yang notabene TIDAK mau menerima perubahan dan selalu membandingkan antara windows ke linux ( bukan linux ke windows ), misalkan dan umumnya pernyataan pertama adalah ; DULU kok tidak seperti ini, ENAKAN DULU, dll yang membuat kepala sangat-sangat pusing, mereka TIDAK PERNAH BERPIKIR PANJANG dalam hal resiko memakai software bajakan, tingkat kebutuhan serta kemampuan SDM-nya, mereka hanya mau gampangnya saja, masakan untuk ketik-ketik aja harus membeli Windows Xp dan MS Word full featured, openoffice sangat mampu untuk melakukannya, bahkan boleh diadu dengan MS office.
Aku sebenarnya nggak terlalu memikirkan caci maki dan sumpah serapah dari user (yang mungkin dilontarkan dalam hati mereka) namun yang sangat-sangat aku sesalkan adalah, beberapa orang yang mempunyai level diatas spervisor ternyata ada yang OTAKNYA BUNTU, dan mempunyai cara pandang yang sama. misalkan beberapa pertanyaan dan pernyataan yang seharusnya tidak diucapkan sebelum mencoba dan bertanya.

1. Tanya : Kok openoffice nggak bisa dipasswordya ??? MS Word bisa padahal kan aku sudah pilih untuk "save with password".
Jawab : Mas mas password minimum di openoffice harus 6 karakter, coba lagi gi sana.
2. Tanya : Kalo tak emailkan ke customer bagaimana ??? mereka-kan nggak punya openoffice ???
jawab : Mas mas dan mbak mbak yang baik, disitukan ada option save as trus pilih formatnta *.doc atau *.xls
3. Tanya : kalau tak emailkan ke kantor pusat, harus dalam format Excell dan di password, gimana solusinya
Jawab : Suruh aja kantor pusat untuk download openoffice, trus install dan kamu kirim tetap dalam format openoffice.
dll.

Dalam suatu meeting dengan beberapa konsultan perusahaan mengenai keinginan konsultan untuk menggunakan ERP yang harganya selangit (ntar dibahas tersendiri), karena sebelumnya terjadi perdebadan dan rada-rada tempur dikit karena salah seorang konsultan ingin meminta untuk dibelikan software MS office untuk divisi accounting tapi tidak aku berikan maka suasana meeting dengan para konsultan tersebut berjalan kaku, dan pada suatu sesi dari meeting sang kepala konsultan menjelaskan duduk perkara masalah permintaan software MS office yang tidak dipenuhi oleh departement EDP dengan alasan openoffice masih mampu menggunakannya, bahkan di Jerman hampir semua komputer disanan menggunakan Linux, lihat Google, HP, IBM, Nokia, dll, mereka menggunakan linux dan sudah pasti mereka tidak memakai MS word, tapi kenapa mereka bisa ??? sedangkan kita tidak ???, ujung-ujungnya untuk mencairkan suasana sang kepala konsultan berkata ke pihak manajemen bahwa OPENOFFICE ITU LEVELNYA SMP DAN MS OFFICE ITU LEVELNYA S1, JADI ADA FUNGSI DI MS OFFICE YANG TIDAK ADA DI OPENOFFICE, akunya sih diam aja, karena tak pikir-pikir lagi malas berdebat dengan orang-orang yang otaknya buntu dan hanya mau gampangnya saja. Mereka tidak pernah melihat ke luar sana, padahal diluar sana sudah banyak pemakai linux dan openoffice, kenapa mereka bisa sedangkan kita tidak bisa ??? JAWABANNYA SIMPLE AJA BAGIKU, MEREKA BERPIKIR JAUH DAN MAU BELAJAR. DAN YANG PASTI OTAKNYA NGGAK BUNTU !!!!
