AskWoody LoungerDear Hans,
We just did it for real, on the real presentation.
We successfully reduced the file size from 294mg to 23mg! We tested the slide show, and the client couldn’t tell any image quality degradation.
That was fantastic! AND my client was thrilled!
Thanks so much.
Have a great day,
G’Day,

AskWoody LoungerHi Hans,
Thanks for the suggestion.
This even effects the photos in the slide backgrounds?

AskWoody LoungerYes, wherever I paste the paragraph, I get the same behavior. It’s in a user defined style.
I think it has something to do with the referencing aspect of the field codes.
I get the behavior when referring (using the StyleRef field code) to the Chapter Title Style, that has embedded in it, a referral to an H4 (using the StyleRef field code) where the actual numbers reside.
Thanks,

AskWoody LoungerOctober 26, 2006 at 7:05 pm in reply to: Make a New Project File from Subset of Existing (2 #1035795Hi Carla,
Thanks for your reply.
I’m starting of on the GANTT view
I have discovered the copy and paste technique. Did you mean paste into another Project 2000 new project? Or into Excel?
In either case, when I paste into either a new Project or into an Excel worksheet, I lose the column headings.
In Project, data in columns, I am assuming, are hidden, rather than lost.
I’ll attach some screen shots for your info.
I’m also interested in your kind offer about master project subproject setup post back.
Thanks so much for your help.

AskWoody LoungerHi,
Yes, Mailmerge can be a “bear” to use at first.
Microsoft has a number of Office Online Assistance articles that I’ve found very helpful.
Try these:
- Create and print envelopes for a mass mailing
- Word mail merge: A walk through the process
- Use mail merge for mass mailings and more This is one of their training lessons. Warning, this page contains audio!
- About mail merge for form letters and mass mailings
[/list]I hope that helps some.G’Day,
Rich

AskWoody LoungerHi Hans,
Yes, I had that same feeling. Thanks.
It sort of is the same thing with “Startup.” Do you know what that does for you?

AskWoody LoungerHi Hans,
Thanks, I was afraid you’d say something like that!
Is there no way for a user without admin rights to do what Allen suggests?

AskWoody LoungerDear Hans and Rudi,
Thanks so much, my client like the “Protection” approach, and I do appreciate your help.
I learned something new with the TAB and ENTER key combinations! Why does it work that way?
Blessings,
