    I'm trying to keep the number of complete sentences to the maximum number within a 400 character limit. I understand how to use LEN to limit the number of characters, but don't get how to take the resulting cells that have incomplete sentences and delete the partial sentence at the end. Any advice would be appreciated.

    On the sale of a leasehold property, service charge and ground rent are payable at X per annum from the start of the accounting period - Y - to the end of the accounting period - Z. If completion of a sale - A - takes place on a date between Y and Z, I need to set up a formula on an Excel template (using Office XP) to enable me to calculate the balance of money due back to the Client from A to Z. I have been working it out on paper as X divided by 365 to get the daily rate, multiplied by the number of days from A to Z. To complicate matters, not all the accounting periods start and end with the same dates, the months all have a different number of days in them and as a complete novice to Excel, I just can't figure out how to do it but feel that it ought to be possible. Any pointers would be humbly and gratefully appreciated.

Locking worksheet labels and box sizes

Postby TXVuY2hraW4 » Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:28:01 GMT

I made an application in Excel 2007 for my clients to fill out with drop down 
boxes.  I want to be able to lock the size and the labels on the application, 
but still let me clients use the drop down boxes and type in informaiton in 
appropriate places.  Everytime I try to lock it locks the whole sheet so they 
can't use the drop down boxes.

by default, all cells are check marked as "locked"
- right click on your cell (or range of cells)
- click format cells...
- the last tab is protection
- just uncheck the unlock

then when you go back into protect the sheet, you want to uncheck unlocked 
cells.
hope that helps

1.dynamic size of label, and depending on size label position of tex

Hi, I am creating a form, which reads depending of a choice from an excel 
worksheet the value for label caption, right next to this label a textbox is 
shown. Because the size of the label caption is dynamic, the position of the 
textbox must shift left or right on order to read the complete label caption. 
By doing so the size of the form might also need to change. How to create 
such? there are 10 possible labels and textboxes, which are shown depending 
on the choice. This last part is already working.

3.How do I re-size the chart axis label text box

The text that I type into the y-axis label is always cut off. For example, I 
would like the label to say:

Cell density
(cells/cm2)

But instead, it looks like

Cell densi
(cells/cm

I cannot get around this problem by choosing a smaller (or even larger) font 
or by turning a long one-line entry into two lines of text. 

I just upgraded to Excel 2003 Small Business Edition. This did not seem to 
be a problem with Excel 2000.

Thanks,
Jen

4.Word mailing labels - CreateNewDocument creates labels with wrong page size and margins

Hello,

I am trying to automate Word (needs to be downward compatible to Word 2000, 
so I'm using msword9.olb library) to do a mail merge to mailing labels.

I'm using VC++, but I've also tried this with VB, and the same problem 
occurs.
I have directly put in the code found in article 258512, and the same 
problem occurs... so this should be easy to reproduce.

The problem is this:

When I create the mailing labels using automation, it creates a gigantic 
page of 11.22" x 12.05" size.  The margins are all wrong, too.
I am trying to create a standard Avery 5160 label, and I pass in the code:

  oNewDoc = oMLabel.CreateNewDocument( COleVariant( "5160"), vtOptional, 
vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional);

And what I get in the end is a large page full of labels 4 across and 12 
down.  I tried to change the page size directly, but the labels is still 4 
across and 12 down, which means it's not really Avery 5160.

I tried the equivalent in VB using Word 2007 type library, and I got the 
same result.

My data source is a comma-delimited text file, but that shouldn't matter... 
the merging is fine.  It's just that the page size and the margins are all 
wrong.

If you have any idea what is going on, and what I can do to fix it, I would 
appreciate it very much.

Thank you.

5.Worksheet Labels as Combo Box Selections

Good afternoon --

I would like to set up a combo box using the labels of the worksheets as the 
options from which the user selects.  So, if I had a contiguous set of 
worksheets -- Smith, Jones, Thompson, for example -- how could I do that?

Can anyone help with how to do that?

Thanks in advance.
