Rather than HLOOKUP you might want to use SEARCH. the help is actually "helpful" on it.

Must you use MS Word for this project? A 300 page document of this type might be more appropriate for a typesetting program like Latex. MicTex works really well IMHO. I do know of another program that will do this but depending on how many diagrams, OLE objects and DDE links you want, it also...

well, I'm a little confused with your logic. it sounds like you want to create a nested IF statement (which is no problem to do). If you write out your logic with more examples, I probably could help you more. Your statement doesn't work because the syntax for the IF statement is not correct...

that part of it is solved. I still can't figure out why there are two attachment 2's... I can manually re-set it to "3" but that's not the point. Why is it when I clear the formatting, then re-apply the style, it still goes to 2... any ideas?

it appears to be caused by having the document "protected

I have a custom style "Attachment #" which I have applied to several sections. However, the numbering is not accessible when I right-click to get at the "Numbering" options. I've tried to "clear formatting" and re-apply the style, but nothing changes. If someone knows what might be going on...

well, I do actually have the mfc libraries (header files exist etc.)... C:\MS_PSDK\Include\mfc has all the headers it has asked for. Aside from that, the developer doesn't use MFC so why is the compiler trying to use it anyway? It's very strange behaviour if you ask me!

notepad2 does not use MFC anyway. However, you can install the MSDK for windows and that includes MFC. Now it only seems to be used in the resourcing which is strange. As mentioned before, the developer ensured me that he does not use MFC.

I'm using the following compiler with the most recent Windows SDK: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 Installed Edition: VC Express Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 76542-000-0000011-00125 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Now...

Thanks for the reply: It's a compromise for me. I'm dealing with documents with large quantities of graphics and reports. I tend to keep these graphics in the appendices and attachments so that when I'm working on content, I don't need to have a 4-6MB open in word. Stability becomes an issue...

So within the "outline" view, normally with a fresh new document, I can insert many subdocuments into one master document. For some reason, it won't let me do this anymore. Here's the setup: - Master Document has a locked word file as the template. (by this I mean that the template file is...

Pardon my lack of knowledge here. I'm having trouble getting this BASH code to NOT output a newline cat "$datafile" | fgrep -A 4 "$STEP_STRING"|grep "$STEP_FILTER" | cut -c 49-56 |tee -a "$OUTPUT_FILE" I don't want the output to include a newline character. I think the culprit is the...

*sigh* thanks for the ideas...what happened was that I had an object declared in two places... for instance: Two objects: UserInput and 'io' both declared "ofstream fin". Since UserInput was a child to 'io', the linker seemed to get confused! (rightly so) Linker errors are so...

I'm having great difficulties with my object model. I hope someone can help me since i'm really stuck! Does anybody know how to start troubleshooting linder errors? I keep getting the following error: "busdes.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol public: void __thiscall...

so what are the "friend" semantics. I think it might be because they are separate objects and I have not created both "Class1" and "Class2" objects...Just "Class2". Here's why i thought i could do it: from a c++ tutorial... "Just as we have the...
