Excel 2008 creating Log.xlsx folders for every spreadsheet

Hi -
I realize that I should be posting this question on the MacTopia site, but that gets me nowhere.
I have Office 2008 Teacher & Student Edition, I applied all the Service Packs to version 12.1.2. Now every time I save an Excel spreadsheet it creates a folder for it that contains and XML file and 3 folders which also contain XML files within them.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It is mighty annoying and I don't know if I can trash the folders or not.
Thanks, and sorry for posting an Microsoft question here.

Hi Priscilla,
I hope I don't get burned by the other Users here for trying to answer to your Microsoft question
Sincce the Office for Mac 2008 version (and the Windows 2007 Office version) Microsoft has changed their default file format from the usual .doc; .xls; etc. to the Open Office XMl file format.
See here for further infos on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OfficeOpenXML
To my knowledge (not a MS Office user) you can change the defaults back to the .doc; .xls file format through the Office Preferences.
Regards
Stefan

  • FM import into RH project creates a separate folder for every FM chapter

    I am importing a FM book into RH 9 to create a new help project.   RH creates a separate folder for every FM chapter!  The folder contains the html and CSS.  This is messy and useless since all html will point to a single help CSS for the project.  It will be tedious to move all the html topics to one folder plus I will lose the FM link for future updates.
    Did I miss a step in the import that controls how the project is created in RH?

    Yes, this is deliberate - in fact most people want to sub-divide their .fm files into even finer topics - that's what the pagination setting in the Conversion Settings screen is for. Why do you want them all to be mashed together anyway?
    I've only heard of one other poster wanting to stuff all their FM content into one folder - try searching the forums. I seem to remember there were a bunch of suggestions to things to do from either the FM end of things or the RH side.
    The reason why Adobe did it this way was to give you individual control over the CSS to be applied to individual topics (even if most of us just apply a common one across the board in the SSL recipe when we create our help).

  • How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

    On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
    After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
    But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
    What to do?
    Thanks...

    No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
    There are the standard first start behavior.
    There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
    Thanks.

  • How to create new file folders for pics

    My sd card may be corrupt, but I tried to move pictures to new folders and I get the message "Directory full".  How would I normally make new folders so that I can have separate folders for different subjects?

    Hi ssk600...
    Attach your BB Handheld using the USB and go enable Mass Storage. You should be able to mount the phone with a drive letter on your PC. Once that is done, you can create folders using the Windows explorer shell. Create the folder and move the pictures you want into the new folder using the Explorer in XP or Vista. Once your done managing your new folder and moving your pictures, remove the USB. You will be able to see the new folder once you open up Media icon and menu your pictures on the Media Card.

  • InteractiveForm - Create one PDF site for every node element

    Hi experts,
    how it is possible to create for every node (1..n or 0..n) element a PDF page?
    E.g.:
    - Node (0..n)  (Element 1)
              - att1 value: a_1
              - att2 value: a_2
    should be the first PDF site...
    - Node (0..n)  (Element 2)
              - att1 value: b_1
              - att2 value: b_2
    should be the second PDF site..
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks Leonard
    On the surface that looks a mighty powerful product that probably goes far beyond what we require. Looking at the system requirements, it seems that some specific Application Servers are needed (is this correct?), which we won't have. Am I correct in thinking this is a modular based product, in that I buy a base product (being LiveCycle ES ... not sure what this product does on it's own) and then add a module such as PDF Generator to it?
    It's difficult to glean from the product web site exactly what this product is all about but my gut feel is it'll be a few steps beyond what we need to achieve. I might be wrong, so feel free to pull me up there but it seems this is along the lines of a total back-end Adobe solution.
    If you have any other suggestions I'd be grateful, otherwise I may need to continue down the "clunky yet serviceable" HTML to PDF route

  • FCP, Excel, and creating an easy way for APs to log timecode

    Hello
    I work in a small/medium sized studio environment. 3 edit bays, 5 producers, and lots and lots of tapes.
    Our producers are prone to logging footage with a legal pad. This is stupid because they could easily be using that time typing into an excel spreadsheet (or another program, preferably) to create a list that editors could then import and easily grab clips to edit.
    Anyway,
    I was trying to build a nice looking Excel spreadsheet to give our producers for this task. It would allow them to type timecode (without colons, it adds them in), and save the .xls so the editors could import the data for capturing.
    Problems:
    • FCP cannot read .xls files
    • Exporting .xls to .txt (tab-del) turns the .xls file into a .txt (which we do not want)
    • Office 2008 on Mac has no Macro support, so automating the export process is out of the question.
    • On yeah - you cannot EXPORT from Excel. Only save as.
    Is there a good alternative out there for this? I just want a document (I don't care what app it uses) that allows the APs to type timecode, and hit a button to export to a tab-del .txt. file.
    What can I do here?
    Thanks

    Steve,
    What you really want is a decent logging system. IMHO producers should concentrate on content, and not be bored with typing TC's / reelnames (they mess it up anyway).
    Have a look at my logger (keep in mind that the windows version is a little more mature than the Mac version at this stage). My clients use it all the time, and seem very satisfied with it. (Altough that's Avid output, but the principle stays the same, and it has FCP compatible output)
    http://www.videotoolshed.com/?page=products&pID=24
    To be honest, i'm not quite sure if you want file based logging with a text export to FCP, but feel free to toy with it and give me some feedback on how you like it, and what you would have altered to get you really going.

  • How to create checkbox in WAD for every record

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement where in the user selects some of the records from the IP screen and he should be able to see only those selected records and also should be able to plan on the same. So how can i create a checkbox in WAD for each and every record. If this is not possible through check box then are there any other options to achieve this. Request your valuable inputs.

    Hi,
    Not sure if you can create a check-box in wad but for sure you can set properties of the table in which you display your data. There should be something like "Selectable rows" (don't have access to the system now). When you switch it on you will be able to select rows of your report. Then you need to set filter based on the selection you made.

  • Creating individual mail folders for each mailbox

    I have switched to mac from pc and cant figure out how to make individual folders within my 2 email accounts. With Outlook I had 2 email accounts and lots of individual folders within those accounts to help seperate my different emails. With mac I cant figure out how. I tried smart mailboxes but it wont let me put emails from 2 different senders into 1 smart mailbox. Also, how can I transfer my old emails from my pc to my mac.
    Thanks for the help!

    In Apple Mail, accounts are sometimes referred to as Locations. Folders are called Mailboxes. If you have multiple accounts configured and you create a mailbox it will ask you which location it belongs to. That's how you create a folder within an account.
    Smart mailboxes are not real mailboxes, but are automatic searches. They don't belong to any one account.
    Transferring mail depends on the other application you were using. Mail's Import Mailboxes feature will help you through the process. It does not support importing from Outlook though.

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.

  • How to stop itunes making separate folders for every song

    Each time i open a new tune in itunes it keeps making a separate folder for them which i dont want, i just want all my tunes in itunes media/music folder as they are.
    I have unchecked to stop itunes organizing them but it still happens.
    Kind Regards
    Martyn

    an alternative approach would be to keep both options in the advanced preference tab checked and drag the content from its current location into an open iTunes window *while holding the option key*.
    iTunes will index the path to the original's location but not copy the file physically.
    avoids having to check the settings on the advanced tab every time.

  • When merging data into a PDF form, can it create a new form for every record in your data set?

    I have a vendor database that I want to use to populate a pre-created PDF form in Adobe Pro XI. I figured out how to rename the form data fields and how import the data from my data set but can't figure out how to have it create another copy of the form for the next record in the data set.... if its even possible. Any help is appreciated!

    This can be achieved with a mail-merge type script.

  • Why does FF need to create 10,000 folders for the cache? How do I make it go back into single folder mode?

    Before it was x:\\Cache\"stuff"...Simple easy to find files if you need to.
    Now its..
    x:\\Cache\X\x1\"a little stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\xA\"a little more stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\x0\"a even more little stuff"
    x:\\Cache\X\x9\" crap... I'm lost now""
    What is the purpose for the extra folders? I want to be able to revert it back to single folder mode.

    You would need to revert to Firefox 3.6.23 to have the old cache setup.
    The multiple cache folder setup is to allow for a larger cache which works more efficiently that earlier versions worked.

  • Advise for opening an article (blog type) onto a page without creating a unique page for every artic

    A section within my site holds a lot of articles. I am re-designing the layout of just that sub-page similar to a blog page. Current articles on the opening page would show the first paragraph of about 4 articles, then the [more] link would follow each. The link would open the whole article in a new window/page. (I have a lib item on the right which holds the permenant links back to the start page for the articles, or further links to archives).
    Right now I have archived articles saved and linked as pdf files that open into a _blank page. It works but a lot of time and labor to convert and re-link articles as pdf.
    But I have seen this on a simple blog site where the article opens up on what looks like an identical but fresh page as html. This site has hundreds of articles and I can't imagine there is a separate dedicated page holding each article...?
    If anyone understands what I'm describing... Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for any help! --Jeff

    The blog you saw is probably like most, dynamically driven from content stored in a server-side database.  PHP or some other server-side code is used to populate pages on the fly based on the link or search query entered by the user.  There is no feasible way to do this with static HTML pages alone. 
    WordPress & Blogger are 2 examples of popular blogging systems.
    You can use PHP to pull content from your blog's RSS feed into your SHTML or PHP pages.  The link below describes how:

  • Create new  folders for email and photos

    how can i create new file folders for email and/or photos on the iPad 2?
    and, will it also work on the iTouch?
    ALSO, tried to install a wireless printer which looks for documents in the "documents" folder, but i can't save them there from email or anyplace else????
    Thank you for any help

    If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP based email account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of your current folders on your email account - if you aren't on iOS 5 or if the account is POP based then you won't get the Edit button.
    Similarly for photos, if you are on iOS 5 then you should get an Edit button at the top right of the Album selection screen in the Photos app which allows you to create new albums and copy (not move) photos into - and if you delete the original photo then if will also be removed from all albums that you've 'copied' it into.
    If the iPod Touch is also on iOS 5 then I think that you will get the same options (though I'm not 100% sure)

  • Time Lapse import creates new clip for every frame!

    I shot a time lapse film - five hours reduced to 4 minutes ie one frame every 4 seconds. The iMovie Import wizard created a separate 'Clip' for every frame, (which is unusable), and then crashes the program every time I try to open it, I guess because there are too many 'Clips' to handle.
    Is there a way to import these discontinuous shots as a single clip? If iMovie can't do it, any ideas on a better way? I couldn't get Quicktime Pro to do any better - it opened thousands of separate windows on the desktop.
    Fortunately, the original is on DV, though each frame has a different time stamp on it.
    Thanks for any ideas!

    FYI
    I found that iMovie 6 was able to handle the multiple files and I could export them as an MPEG4 file. iMovie 08 bombed big time.
