Dashboards in WORD

Hello!
Is it possible to insert a dashboard in a WORD document in a specific area of the page and write around it, so it looks neat?, When I have tried, the dashboard is exported to the WORD page OK but it is not possible to manipulate its location on the page nor to write any text close to it.
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

Hi,
Try exporting to PPT and then resize the swf as per your requirement.
Now Cut or copy the swf object from PPT and paste to Word.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit

Problems viewing dashboards in Word and PDF

I use Xcelsius 2008, service pack 3 and when I export dashboards to Word and pdf others cannot open and view them. I send them the files via email, some people can open and use, many cannot. I have Windows XP sp3, and Office 2007. This is a problem because some clients can open and use, others cannot.

Hi,
    Craig is on the right track, it is most likely a Adobe Flash Player Version issue.
    Read the Supported Platform guide for Xcelsius 2008 SP3 for more details.
              http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50fdb3d2-50cc-2c10-e392-a2e481f71694
    Make sure they have Adobe Flash Player 9.0.151.0 and above installed.
    Another quick test they can do, see if they can open SWF file directly on their Internet Explorer. I doubt the issue is related to WORD or PDF at all.
Cheers,
Ken

How do I arrange photos on the back of my Christmas letter?

I'm using Word for the Christmas letter and have seen other letters where people arrange photos on the back of an 81/2x11 page. I've been trying for days using Word and trying to click and drag from the "dashboard" on Word. Photos won't drag. Disappear. Won't move when I finally get them on the page. Any help soon will be appreciated. Can I use IPhoto for the whole project? How?

Along the lines that Keith suggested use a different application to create and print on the backside of your letter. As Keith mentioned Pages will do an excellent job of that if you have Pages.
Another app you can use that is free and easy to use is Bean. Drag photos into it's window and double click on them to resize. You place the photos as you would with text, by the Return, Tab and Space keys. Text can also be added.

Dashboard does not work properly when using Word

This problem occurs persistently. If I am typing something in Word and want to switch over to my Dashboard to use the dictionary or write on a stickie note, two things may happen. If the widget is already selected and ready to be used, then nothing will happen and I can use it properly. However, if I want to click on multiple widgets, then my dashboard will quickly slide over and go back to Word as if I had chosen to exit Dashboard. This only happens when I use Word. Why is this happening and how do I fix it??
It is frustrating to try and type something in Word, go to my Dashboard to use the dictionary, only to be flung back to Word. The only found remedy is clicking on the desktop and then going to the Dashboard to use my widgets.

I opened my Word for Mac 2011, opened a document, and Then opened my Dashboard on top of that and used the Dictionary to look up a definition, and changed the month on the Calendar widget, and changed my stock graph interval. It all worked just as it was supposed to: fine. You apparently have a corrupted file somewhere. I do not know where.
Hope this helps

I don't know how to go back to the original look of my Dashboard. I don't know what I did, but now when I click on it, my Words with Friends game comes up and that is all. How do I "reset" it to the original things on it?

I am trying to convert a file from pdf. I can't see it after I hit convert to word and view converted files. How do I know if I have a subscription? Adobe is on my mac dashboard.

How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.

Hi subscription question,
I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
Best,
Sara

Dashboard, is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word?

is there a way to copy the dictionary answer to a looked up word, copy and paste?Each time I highlight the defination the command copy will not work, is there a key sequence I need to use?

Works here, I just tested. (I assume you're talking about the dictionary widget on the Dashboard.)
confused |kənˈfyo͞ozd|adjective(of a person) unable to think clearly; bewildered: she was utterly confused about what had just happened | a very confused and unhappy boy.
Are you sure you're pressing command-c, not something like control-c? If you're new to Macs, the control-c keystroke from Windows may be so ingrained you're pressing that without realizing it.
Edit: Note that I didn't mean to imply you're not thinking clearly with the definition of the word I looked up, it was just the first word that popped into my mind!

Creat a report in bi publisher based on dashboards

Hi,
Do you know if is possible creat a report in BIP with the same information and format that is in the dashboards?
Thank you

I would think you can in most cases - but there is no automated tool.
Steps I would take is
1) create a new report with the parameters shown in the dashboard.
2) Add a query with the logical SQL from each answer report.
3) Add where conditions based on parameters
4) create a BI Publisher report in the word template based on this data.

IR Dashboard report from new query not getting all Quick Filter selections

I inherited an IR Dashboard .bqy and my user recently added a new Query, Result, Table, and Report section to it. I cannot get the report to dynamically filter based on the date chosen in the existing Quick Filters section. It seems to be filtering the Location properly (drop down in Quick Filters section), but not the date. Her result section refuses to show anything less than ALL dates from the query.
The other reports/pivots already on the dashboard work fine with all QuickFilters.
In my attempt to integrate her new report in to the dashboard I add a new hidden "dummy" pivot (based on the existing query btw, not the new query-could that be the issue? it's dummy though so i figured it was ok), reference this pivot in the Embedded Targets object I found by adding "Object~Pivot4|Type~9|Target~Casket Margin Summary" line,
went to Dashboard Studio and was able to Associate this report in to the right frame, etc.
In the script behind the QIQ date "Set Filters" button I saw this code for the existing "Result_Detail" section so I added a line for my new "Results_Merch Detail" section.
var objServDate = ActiveDocument.Sections["Casket Margin"].Shapes["Service_Date^qiqlbx^showname^a"];
if (objServDate.SelectedList.Count > 2){
Alert("Please select only two dates");
return;
ActiveDocument.Sections.Item(txlMe.Text).Qiq_onControlClick(this.Parent,this)
ActiveDocument.Sections["Results_Merch Detail"].Limits["Service Date"].Operator = 11
ActiveDocument.Sections["Results_Detail"].Limits["Service Date"].Operator = 11;
I tried it with and without an extra semi-colon at the end of my line. Is that the right way to tell it to apply it to more than 1 Result??
Worked with this for hours now and can't find whatever else is hidden which tells the QIQfIlter Date to refresh this NEW query/result when chosen.
I tried to make sure all Filter items exist in the new query's Request line, one was missing. i haven't gone back to Dash Studio since then and re-saved, does THAT matter? I saved the .BQY and re-processed, still no luck.
can anyone help? I'm desperate for suggestions.
Thank you!
Karen

This has been resolved. The main thing that kept it from working was I kept launching the Dashboard Studio after I was in Design mode so any time I got to the QIQ Filters setup screen it looked like cryptic code and there was nothing to alter or play with to try and force the filters to take effect, so I never changed anything.
This time I launched the Dashboard Studio while accidentally in regular mode, blessing in disguise. on Step 1 of the wizard I chose QIQ Filter Properties from the configuration drop down list which pops up the Local Filters setup window, now in place of code syntax there was english-like words & action items for me to play around with so I chose my new result set from the drop down list and highlighted all the limits and clicked "Set Filters". Presto, that did it.
Also I had to make sure all the columns referenced in the QIQ drop down lists and pick list was in my request line in the Query & Result section, repeat the above, and it's all working great now.
Thanks,
Karen

Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open

A week ago, Safari, iMail, iTunes, and Dashboard won't open but other applications will, like Mozilla, iPhoto, Word, Excel, etc. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get Safari and the other programs to open? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I'm replying to myself to add more information on my case. I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack, I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing. I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers, however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
How can I correct this please?

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?

I'm trying to assess features in Mavericks in comparison to Snow Leopard (the OS I'm most familiar with). I usually read the Missing Manual for the new OSes, but haven't gotten to all areas yet - it's a big book!
Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?
I want to be able to see the calculator widget for example while I'm also working in a Bills template document in Word, or over my back account page while viewing in Safari. Or look at words in Thesaurus while viewing a document I'm writing in Word, or even an email in Mail. In OS 10.6 widgets on the dashboard float above the other windows, but I can see them both at the same time. It looks like Dashboard is all by itself in Mavericks. Is this the case and the only way to view widgets now, is by themselves in their own isolated environment? Any work around?
Thanks.

You can assign a "hot corner" with System preferences > Mission Control > Hot corners to bring up your dashboard anytime you want quickly by moving the mouse to the corner. Works really well.

Microsoft Word-Table of Contents-Update Page Numbers

I am having trouble updating my page numbers within the Table of Contents in a Microsoft Word document. On a Windows machine, I would click to the left of the table and then click F9. On an Apple, that adjusts the brightness of the screen or modifies the screen if I accompany the F9 with the Apple or Function button. Does anyone know how to update the page numbers without creating a new Table of Contents?
Lisa

In Mac OSX it is possible to change or create keyboard shortcuts for all applications as well as the system itself.
Go to +System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard shortcuts+
Select the menu item for whatever application, in this case Dock, Exposé and Dashboard, click on the keyboard shortcut and change it to whatever you would like.
It will then work the next time you launch the application. If it is a menu item the name of the shortcut must match the menu name exactly.
