I can view the records as intended in the original program, but that doesn't allow me to use the data as I need to now. I have tried many different ways to get it into Excel. Then I installed PowerQuery in Excel and attempted to use several of its import options at the suggestions of members of...

I appreciate the replies, Phil. In what application do I open the dbf file and how do I go about issuing the command? I searched for how to do what you suggested but didn't come up with anything I understood.

The application is ProSlide II by Elenco. They've been defunct for at least 10 years, I think. I was told by someone on an Excel forum that it's DBase.

I have a DBF file from an old application made for cataloging and labeling slides. I have tried many methods to import the data into a format I can use but so far none have been successful. What has happened in most or all instances is that the data for all 2000+ records are imported into one...

Do you mean "Insert Alignment Tab?" I highlight the text, clicked Insert Alignment Tab, chose "Center" and my text disappeared.

In my Word document, I have created a custom footer - it's center justified. I want to add a page number ("Page 1 of 13") in the lower right-hand corner, in the right margin. I want my footer text to remain centered. I cannot figure out how to do this - I've been searching and trying for...

Sorry for not being clear - that was just an example as I had no idea how much this would all cost. In the next 5 months, the budget will be pretty much whatever it takes (though I don't want to spend for bells and whistles I don't need). Thank you, curlycord and everyone else, this is a great...

I realize "low budget" is not specific. That's because I don't have any idea how much this would cost. I have no idea whether it would be $100 or $1000 or $3000. For instance, if my options range from $100 to $1000, I'd likely go for the lower end of the range unless the $100 won't do what I...

At the moment the budget is low - but soon I will have enough to spend a fair amount to maintain my privacy, peace, and sanity. Even though my list of requirements has been called "Draconian" (which I'm not disputing), I would think with today's technology that there would be a way to achieve...

My objective is to not be bothered with unwanted calls (including not having the phone ring) but still have calls ring through I do want to receive. I'm self-employed and I work from home. I have two landlines. I envision a system that will do the following (I realize some details of the...

In word 2007, I do not want my typing mistakes to be corrected. But I do want misspelled words to be flagged. I cannot find the right combination of settings to achieve this. Please advise how I do this. Thank you for your help!

I appreciate your help but the use of ALL-CAPS is considered shouting or rude and although I doubt you intend to belittle me, it makes me feel a little bit like a doofus. I am asking the questions because I don't know any better. If I knew what I was talking about, I wouldn't be asking the...

Now I understand that it is a text file - I did not previously know that. The rest (about importing) I don't understand. I think that is because I don't want to import anything. I need to provide an associate with a spreadsheet in .csv format that I am hand-entering data into. I will be doing...

I have more information that may be relevant. I am working with this as a .csv file because that is what was requested of me. Could that be complicating things?

(Excel 20007) - cute - I like that:-) It happens whether I close or save. I'm not clear on the difference because if I close it, it asks me to save anyway.

I created a spreadsheet in Excel 20007 and adjusted the column widths to suit my needs. After I close Excel and open the same document again, the columns default back to the original widths. How can I make Excel preserve the column widths I want?

I rarely want to maintain formatting when pasting into Word 2007 and it's a pain to have to choose the Paste drop-down > Paste Special > and choose Unformatted Text every time. Is there a way I can make a right-click function list an Unformatted Text choice or make Paste always paste as...

In Word 2007 I cannot turn off automatic hyperlinks and I have followed the directions: 1) Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Word Options. 2) Click Proofing. 3) Click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab. 4) Clear the Internet and...

I've spent almost one hour trying to solve this issue: I am typing "5-8" into a cell in Excel 2007 and the ever-so-helpful Micro#### turns it into "8-May" - I want it to be just what I typed in - "5-8" I've gone to Options>Proofing>Auto correct options and tried just about everything to no...
