Are operating files only within Windows (C:) or are Word and Excel files ok in Documents and (C:) folders in 8.1?
A Microsoft tech said "oh-oh" when he saw Word and Excel files, and I think other files, in Windows (C:). He said only operating files should be in that folder or a user might delete an operating file by mistake. I have Word and Excel files in
both (C:) and Documents folders. There is some overlap but there are different files in each. When I open a Word file it defaults to (C:) not Documents. Sometimes default location is SkyDrive. So unpredictability is my experience. The questions are what is
correct default and how to make it so.
Microsoft store in San Diego transferred files from old computer to new one and this default is how the computer was set up.
Hi, Tyro.
What a mess. Usually system files in the Windows folder are protected from being deleted by users, but not all of them.
Here are some ideas:
Go back to the Microsoft store and tell them to fix it. They caused it, it was their mistake, they are responsible to fix it.
If that is not possible because they are too far away... find another Microsoft Store if possible and have them fix it.
Last resort: If it was me, I'd just back up all the files that I care about onto my SkyDrive (now OneDrive) account or a reliable thumb drive. Then do a factory re-image. Maybe back up the files and make the MS store do it. If I had purchased Office
2013 (it sounds like you have Office 2013), then I would have them reinstall that as well.
Keep the store involved because it is their fault.
At least call the MS store in San Diego and ask them what they suggest. Put them on the spot. They are the ones that screwed up and are responsible for the copying process.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson

Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into
a pdf. Any advice?To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.

Does anyone know if my iphone 5s contents are backed up automatically within icloud. Because i need to take back to factory setting and prob will lose everything on my phone
If iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings->iCloud->Backup
The iPhone will backup automatically, when its plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi.
So if you let it charge while connected to wifi recently for a few hours and did not use it, it probably backed up.
If you can still access the iPhone, you can check the date of the last iCloud backup in Settings->iCloud->Backup -
Hi,
I am facing the problem in opening the word and excel files received through email in my MS office professional 2013 paper licence, Microsoft Windows 8.1 enviornment. please help in this matter

Telefax-+917312361546I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files. They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
Very strange.
Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ?? -
Can someone tell me the best way to view and edit OpenOffice files on my new iPad Mini (originally Word and Excel files)? Thanks!
wmf files is a MS Windows video file, you will need a tool to covert the wmf files to another file format OS X will read. Simply Google to find a converter you are interested in and use it.

Access Word and Excel files stored on 8820 SD Card?
Need to be able to access many Word and Excel files stored on an 8820 SSD card - Media Center does not have a category for "business files" only pics and video etc. Is there a way to do that like Documents to Go on the Palm systems? Roxio's filters do not allow Word and Excel files either but Mass Storage accepts the OK. How to access on the SSD card?
On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.
Your case is the latter because your Samsung Galaxy S4 phone is running 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Sorry for the inconvenience. -

New Laserjet Pro M476NW Will Not Print MS Word or Excel Files
I just bought a brand new Color Laserjet Pro MFP M476nw printer. I am usint MS Vista 32 bit and MS Office 2007.
The Printer prints images, emails and I can make copies, etc, but I cannot print Word files, Word Envelopes, Excel files, etc.
Until my old HP Laserjet 4P finally died the other day (internal electrical short) I could print everything. Have spent 8-hours or so trying everything I have read from Microsoft, HP, etc, with no success. Installed, Uninstalled, reinstalled, ran diasgnostics, still no success.
I cannot contact anyone at HP for less than $99 to talk to a person. Very frustrating.
As I said, Word and Excel files printed just fine until I bought the new M476nw printer. How can this be Fixed?
This question was solved.

Where does workspace store the pdf and excel file ?
Hi,
I'm working on a Web Analysis project and I have created a dynamic web menu based on the workspace repository to improve the poor capacities of WA in terms of menu. I use the javascript API to control the WA applet from the menu.
Now my problem is that my customer created a folder in workspace (which is translated into a sub menu of my dynamic menu), and that folder contains pdf and excel files. The function openFile which I use to open report in the applet doesn't work on pdf and excel files. So I've been looking for the files on the server, to know where they are stored, so that I could just modify the java class that generates the menu.
I couldn't find those files on the server. Where are they ? Are they stored in the database as an xml string like the report s ? If yes then I might have a problem.
Has anyone already done this ?
Thanks for your help.
CyrilTomcat stores it in the work dir under $TOMCAT_HOME.
There'll be directories like localhost%2f<urcontext>..
As for as JSP changes being recognized, try refreshing ur browser.... -
Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats and translating
Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
I would like advice on the best way to learn more about pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.
David Hardisty (david1610)Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
Thank you again!

How to Edit Word and Excel file in N9
Hi, I can open the Ms Word and Ms Excel Files in N9 but I can not edit the text or Cells. Please advise the way to edit the text in the Word or Excel Files.
Apparently, Nokia considers it to be strange that someone want to edit documents on smartphone, and considering that most of the developers (who are able to produce office software) are not interested in MeeGo, we will not have this option available.

Macro to compare CSV and Excel file
Team,
Do we have any macro to compare CSV and Excel file.
1) In Excel we should have two text boxes asking the user to select the files from the path where they have Stored
2) First Text is for CSV file
3) Second Text box is for Excel file
4) We Should have Compare button that should run the Macro and Show the Differences.
Thanks!
KiranHi
Based on my understanding, we need to convert the 2 files into the same format before comparing two different formats files.
Here are the options:
1. Convert the CSV file and Excel file into 2-dim Arrays, then compare them, about how to load a CSV file into VBA array, you can search it from
internet or ask a solution in VBA forum.
VBA forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=isvvba
2. Also you can import CSV file to Excel sheet, and then compare them.
Here is the sample code for your reference:
‘import csv file
Sub InputCSV()
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim Arr
Set Wb = GetObject(Application.GetOpenFilename("csv file,*.csv", , "please choose a csv file", , False))
Arr = Wb.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
Wb.Close False
Range("A1").Resize(UBound(Arr), UBound(Arr, 2)) = Arr
End Sub
‘compare sheet
Sub CompareTable()
Dim tem, tem1 As String
Dim text1, text2 As String
Dim i As Integer, hang1 As Long, hang2 As Long, lie As Long, maxhang As Long, maxlie As Long
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Columns("A:A").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlNone
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Range("A1").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("1:4").Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlNone
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
Range("A1").Select
MaxRow = 250
MaxColumn = 40
For hang1 = 2 To maxhang
Dim a As Integer
a = 0
tem = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1)
For hang2 = 1 To maxhang
tem1 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1)
If tem1 = tem Then
a = 1
Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
For lie = 1 To maxlie
text1 = Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, lie)
text2 = Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie)
If text1 <> text2 Then
Sheets(2).Cells(hang2, lie).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
End If
Next
End If
Next
If a = 0 Then
Sheets(1).Cells(hang1, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 5
End If
Next
Hope this will help.
Best Regards

Distinguishing between CSV and Excel file formats
I am trying to distinguish between CSV and Excel files. Most of the files I need to process are CSV, but some have been opened and re-saved in Excel format. I know about the Excel toolbox available, but haven't used it yet.
I need to be able to open a spreadsheet file regardless of if it is in CSV or Excel format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are two example files, one CSV and one Excel. Both have .XLS file extensions.
Attachments:
20-4-XLS.xls 21 KB
20-5-CSV.xls 8 KBHi Paul,
I think the matter is not the extention (xls or csv or whatever) but the format of the data written in your file.
To see what I mean, open the xls file you posted with notepad... What does it look like ?
You have tobe sure of the format of the file you want to read so that you can develop an appropriate VI... if you want to be able to read different type of data format, do a test before reading the file and then use an appropriate routine for each format.
Hope this helps you...
BTW, to read the one named CSV, a simple "read from spreadsheet file" VI will do the job

How to import Word or Excel files in Project 2013.
I am facing a problem in Microsoft Project 2013. I am trying to insert a word or an excel file into Project 2013. But for each file,
an import wizard appears and after trying all the possibilities, I am unable to finish it. Please help me out and tell me how to import Word or Excel file in Project 2013.Parulg --
From your description, it sounds like you are trying to attach a Word or Excel document to a project, or to insert the Word or Excel document into the project. If that is the case, you actually need to attach the Word or Excel document to a task in
the project. There are several ways to do this, but in either case you first need to open the project to which you want to attach the Word or Excel document. You can then use one of several methods, which are:
Click the View tab to display the View ribbon. In the Data section of the View ribbon, click the Tables pick list button and select the More Tables option. In the More Tables dialog, select the Hyperlink table and then click the Apply button.
For any task in the project, enter the hyperlink to the Word or Excel document in the Hyperlink column for that task.
Double-click a task and then click the Notes tab. On the Notes page of the Task Information dialog, click the Insert Object button. In the Insert Object dialog, select the Create from File option and then use the Browse button to navigate to
the folder containing the Word or Excel document. In the Browse dialog, select the Word or Excel document and click the Insert button. In the Insert Object dialog, select the Display As Icon checkbox. You can also select the Link checkbox if you
want to create a shortcut to the document rather than embedding the document in your Project file. Click the OK button when finished.
Just a couple of ideas based on my assumption about what you are trying to do. Please let us know if my assumption is wrong. Hope this helps.
