Apps / Software :: Excel Chart Rename Cell?

Sep 22, 2013

I finally learned to make a chart. Change the title. Even rename Series 1 , 2 & 3 at bottom.

BUT, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to rename the cells labeled 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 & 5 at the bottom. And I know it is easy.

Changing Cell Height In Excel 2013

Jan 8, 2014

What I want is to have a column with "notes" in which the cells (and the rows with them) expand downwards to accommodate additional text. Can this be done? All the online tutorials just seem to think people want lots of nice additional empty white space at the top of the cells when they change the cell height!

Apps / Software :: Get Error When Opening Excel Files Through Windows Explorer?

Mar 21, 2014

Whenever, I try double-clicking an Excel file in Windows Explorer, I get an error message that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program." I tried Microsoft's solution of unchecking the box under options that says "Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)" but it was already unchecked. I checked it and unchecked it and I'm still having the problem. This is using Excel 2013 with Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Apps / Software :: Embedded JPG Links In Excel 2003 Insist On Opening IE11?

Nov 27, 2013

I have a lot of excel spreadsheets with embedded links to jpg and pdf documents stored on an NAS. In both Win XP and Win 7 I could set the file association to make them always open in the Win picture preview pane.

In Win 8.1 they will ONLY open in IE11.

I have changed the registry as directed by MS in this article to no avail.

How to configure Internet Explorer to open Office documents in the appropriate Office program instead of in Internet Explorer

Locate the subkey for the specific Office document type.The following table lists the subkeys for several common Office document types. Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet Excel.Sheet.8

After you identify the subkey for the specific Officedocument type, follow these steps:

If the Office document is an Microsoft Office Excel document, add the following value for all Microsoft Office Excel subkeys except the Excel.Sheet.5 subkey:

Value name: BrowserFlags
Data type: REG_DWORD
Value: 8

I do not want to view them in IE which is harder to zoom, and my habits do not change as easily as MS thinks they should.

Apps / Software :: Open Laptop Lid - Screen Momentarily Goes Dark / Excel Cells Greyed Out

Jan 9, 2014

I have a Sony Vaio Pro 13 laptop, running Windows 8.1. If I have a couple of Excel spreadsheets open, close the laptop lid, leave it a minute or so, then re-open the lid, the screen momentarily goes dark, then comes to life again. All open apps are OK with the exception of the Excel sheets. In these, all the cells (& ribbon) are unviewable. The whole worksheet area on the screen is not the normal cells but a screen full of whatever colour I set for the default ribbon colour (some kind of beigy grey...). You can't click on any of the cells, can't see what's in them etc... you CAN close the sheet using the window close x at top right (even though you can't actually see the x) but that's all.

I have set up Windows so that NO ACTION is taken on closing the lid. It seems to be the same problem as described at hibernate - Excel windows invisible when laptop comes back from sleep - Super User but no working solution is available. (The one on this link refers to clicking 'restore' but that doesn't work) Running Excel 2013 (part of Office 2013).

I'm stuck as to what may be causing this... but I guess it should be an Excel problem since other apps (e.g. Word) don't exhibit this problem, but that may be a function of what's open at the time the lid is closed / re-opened?

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8.1 Lists Some Cell Phones In Network

Feb 20, 2014

My Windows 8.1 Pro machine sometimes lists someone's mobile phones in its Network list. They disappear and reappear periodically. Yesterday it was showing a device names "jewel", which, according to its properties, was an HTC EVO ("jewel" is the internal name for that model). Right now it is showing "SPH-L720", which is a Samsung mobile phone.

The machine is connected by Ethernet to Netgear R6300 router, so I presume that these devices are probably picked up over WiFi by the router. But why are they picked up and listed in Windows Network list? Does all this have something to do with router settings? A Windows 7 machine on the same network never shows anything like that.

None of these devices are mentioned in the list of WiFi attached devices in the internal router pages, meaning that they are not connected to my WiFi. At the same time my own mobile phones are successfully connected to my WiFi, but Windows does not list them in Network. So, what could it possibly be?

How To Rename System Folders

Apr 24, 2013

Let's say I would like to have one place with only the following folders:

Images
Videos
Text
Audio
Temp
Other

If I click on my username I get folders for My Photos, My Music etc... I would like to rename those folders so that they -stay- renamed. When I renamed the 'Downloads'-folder to 'Temp' it stayed renamed for about 30 minutes and then for some reason it switched its name back to 'Downloads'.

Another thing: As stated above i would like to have -only- the folders of my choosing within the "Username"-folder. But then what can I do about the 'AppData'-folder which is also within the 'Username'-folder?

Copy Files To A Folder - How To Rename To Name(2)

Jul 24, 2014

I have a large collection of car photos spanning several years and growing, +300,000. I am now trying to combine them by year of make. There are many files with the same name like "1930 CarMakerName." I cannot take the time to review every conflict at transfer time, much quicker and easier to see them in an Icon view.

Is there any way to have them automatically renamed like every other previous version of Windows that I have used?

Unable To Rename Folders In Windows 8.1

Mar 23, 2014

I run Windows 8.1 and out of the blue I've recently found that I cant rename a new folder that I've created (so far I've tried it in music , docs , photos and by creating a folder on desktop so seems pretty universal). I've not installed any programmes (except for the latest windows updates) that could have triggered this.

What happens in that when I try to rename the new folder I get a dialogue box that says "cant find specified file make sure you specify correct path and file name." with the options "try again or cancel. When I click on cancel I get a new box that says "file or folder does not exist" which is odd as I've just created it and it is listed as new folder, When I click on it, it opens normally

The same issue occurs when I try to rename existing folders.

I am logged on as an administrator

I'm a bit stuck in term sof my files and folders if I cant rename them

Accounts :: Windows 8 - How To Rename User Account

May 5, 2013

So for some reason, windows 8 thought it would be funny to change my user name to Al Ex instead of Alex, AND since you can't have space on the address bar, the folder ended up calling Al.

This annoyed me a lot more than it should have, because i have tried changing the user name through control panel, but that just changes the display name, not the folder's name. How do i rename it?

What that means. I even tried to delete them from the cmd...

How To View PDF And Excel File On The Screen

Apr 14, 2013

How can I view a PDF file and an Excel file on the screen at the same same time? Every time I open a PDF file, everything shuts down, excel for the PDF. Whenever I click off the PFD, I see everything else, but the PDF is gone. I'm trying to get some info from the PDF to Excel, but it's really hard to do this in Widows 8. In Windows 7 and previous versions, I could see more than one thing on my screen at the same time. Now, the PDF simply takes over control of everything else, so you see the PDF and that's it and that's all.

Maintenance :: Performance Of Excel 2013 In Parallels - Win 8 / XP

Mar 16, 2013

I have updated from Excel 2003 / XP to Excel 2013 / Windows 8 Enterp 64 bit. The new Excel appears to take longer just to move from 1 cell to the next, even on a blank workbook

I have a Mac Pro, using Parallels 8, and the XP / Excel 2003 works faster, both virtual machines are on the same computer: The Mac is a Dual Quad Core, at 667 MH speed.

I have assigned 2 CPU's to the Wind. 8 virtual machine, ( and just 1 in XP). I'm testing these one at a time.

Why ? Is Windows 8 slower. Is parallels Windows 8 slower due to their interface? Are there settings that could fix this?

Excel Cannot Open File - Format Or Extension Is Not Valid?

Jul 21, 2014

I am running Excel 2007 and have been working on files and ONLY saving them to my USB memory stick.

On connecting the device to my PC (using an extension USB cord) I noticed a very brief minute blue like spark, and didn'y release until I tried to access my files that the entire content was wiped.

Excel cannot open the file 'LostFile_XLSX_608879.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.

Well I think it looks fine to me, and I endeavoureed to use the Open & Repair when openng the file too, with no luck.

Error Message And See Word Or Excel Icon In Lower Tray?

Sep 15, 2014

Ever since I have been working with Windows 8 I have received error messages stating "There was a problem sending the command to the program". It will be a document that I have created in word or excel on the exact same computer. I click on the folder in my library, find my document, double click on it, word or excel appears to start to open as a box displaying one or the other appears and then the error message appears. I click on "OK" in the error message and see the word or excel icon in my lower tray - click on that and there is my document. Not a huge deal but definitely not the way things should work..

Pin Actual Saved Files To Start Menu Like Word Documents And Excel Spreadsheets

Nov 27, 2012

Is It possible to pin actual saved files to the Start Menu like Word documents and Excel spreadsheets (or anything else for that matter) as well as programs. I use this on my Windows 8 at work.

For example my Microsoft Excel file shortcut will be like follows:

Target: "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15EXCEL.EXE" "D:UsersUser NameYour File Name.xlsx"
Start in: "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice15"

I usually set the Start In to the MS Office Folder or the File location folder, it doesn't seem to affect it either way. I created a folder in my username called Shortcuts and put all of them in there. Because Windows sees this as an executable program it will allow you to right click it and to pin it to the Start Menu even though it actually starts the saved file you need. I use this for my Access database files too. As long as you set the correct path to the file name, it works every time. You can name the shortcut whatever name you need as well.

Anyway, I thought I'd share it since it makes a great time saver being able to launch your most frequently used files straight from the Start Menu in Windows 8 rather than having to launch the program and then trying to open the saved file.

Accounts :: Rename Built-In Accounts

Feb 21, 2014

I read on the Malwarebyte's blog that they suggest you disable the built in Administrator and Guest accounts for security reasons. Those reasons being that with them enabled, potential hackers already have 2 usernames guessed for them.

But, I use the Guest account often on my home computer because I tend to have a lot of house guests. I don't usually disable the Administrator account either because I still use it on occasion.

So, here is a small tutorial on how to rename those accounts for some added security if you can't disable them.

-Open the 'Run...' box.Type "secpol.msc" and press 'Enter' or 'OK'.Navigate to Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
-The 5th and 6th entries are the names of the Administrator and Guest accounts respectively.
-Double click the entry for the account you want to rename and type the new name in the text box.
-Press 'Enter' or 'Apply' and close the windows.

Next time you try to login with the Guest or Administrator accounts, you will have to use the new username that you came up with.
