But I never edited the files using that system. However, I did save copies to the Windows XP system, and the documents opened and displayed correctly there, using the MS Office XP version of Word that was on that system.
I should also note that I only did this editing of the files using the Windows 7 system. docx, most of the people I dealt with were still using the older version of Word, so that made it easier for us to exchange copies of documents when necessary. I should also mention that the file was created in compatibility mode originally, primarily because at the time that the default file type of Word documents was changed from. I would then use the SAVE AS option to save the file with a new title correspoding to the month being plotted.Īs I mentioned, I used this procedure for several years without a problem. At this point, I then opened the data sheet, and removed the amounts there, entering the correct amount for the first cell in the data sheet (that is, the first of the current month).
Word would automatically add (or subtract) the vertical lines in the graph if the number of days in the range was more or less than the current month. At this point, I could change the start date and stop date. If I then right clicked the labels at the bottom of the document, I could select Format Axis. At this point, I could edit the title at the top of the graph (which read Weight Month Year). Once I had printed the document, I would double click the graph area again. At the end of the month, I printed the document for retention in a notebook I kept for that purpose. I then clicked outside the graph, and saved the file with the updated data. Word would then plot a line on the graph from the previous day's weight to the current day's weight. The way I maintained this record was to open the document, double click within the graph, which opened the data box, where I entered the weight for that particular day. The range was the first day of one month through the first day of the following month, which meant that there were 29, 30, 31, or 32 vertical lines on the graph, depending on the month. The horizontal axis was date, in one day increments. The range was 150.0 to 200.0 which meant that there were 100 horizontal lines in the graph. The vertical axis was weight in half pound increments. Sometime back (I'm not sure when, but several years ago), I created a document in Word to track my weight. The Windows XP machine has Microsoft Office XP (Word version is 10.6866.6870 SP3).
It was office 2010 that I moved from the Windows 7 machine to the Windows 10 machine. However, that was subsequently upgraded to Office 2010. The Windows 7 system at one time had Microsoft Office 2007 installed.
The Windows XP system is not involved in this migration.
As a step in that process, I used a program by Linksys called PC Mover to move most of my applications from the Windows 7 to the Windows 10 system. The Windows 7 machine is befing phased out. A Windows XP Home system that I have kept to use as a backup machine, and to use a couple of old DOS programs that won't run on either Windows 7 or Windows 10. I have a perplexing issue which I hope someone can give me some insight to.
