Center Conditional Icon Set Icons over Data - excel

I the only answer I've been able to find on the web is that you can't do it. I know that is not true at least with Excel 2016 because Microsoft did it them selves in the College Move Checklist template.
The problem is I can't seem to find the settings to get it to work. I've been through all the rules and formatting but can't find it. I was able to copy and paste it to work in some of the items I needed it for but I needed to make it from scratch for others.
Does anyone know how to acheive this?

Edit the conditional format and check the "Show Icon Only" checkbox. This will remove the data from visibility and show only the icon, which will then adhere to the alignment you specify.

"include new items in manual filter" missing in Excel

In Excel the "include new items in manual filter" is missing:
From what I can read it is supposed to look like this:
Where do I find the option to ad include new values when I have a filter applied to my pivot table?
New solution:
I just discovered if you right click in the green area on the following screenshot "Field Settings" will open this menu will contain the option:
But if you right click the red area of the pivot table "Field Value Settings" will open instead, this menu will not contain the option.
I keep my old answer here it is probably wrong, but I have no way of testing this, so I will leave it up until disproven:
I checked my colleague's computer and he have the button to "include new items in manual filter" in his field settings.
I know the difference between our computers is that I have 64 bit Excel and he has 32 bit Excel.
I don't know if that explain reason I don't have the button, but that could be part of the reason.
I hope this can be of value to someone in the future.

text boundary in Microsoft Word

I have a problem with text boundary in Microsoft Word. It shows around the paragraph instead of the whole page.
Please could anyone help me to view this as a page boundary.
I take it that you are using Word 2013 or later. This is how the text boundaries now display. There is no option to make them display as they did in previous versions.
If you don't like it make your feelings known to Microsoft via User Voice.
There is an option in "Page Layout" to optimize your Margins. I assume, this is what you wanted. Else, please share more details.
The following is for Word 2013 - 2016
Select Design in Ribbon Menu
Click Page Borders
In Borders and Shadow dialog box
Choose Box, Shadow, 3D, or Custom type
Choose line style
Choose Color and Width
And finally select Whole Document in Apply To section
this is the display for office 2013 and 2016. if you use version 2010, you will get the whole page. enter image description here

PowerPivot for Excel 2013 KPI icons won't change and don't always appear

I'm using Excel 2013 64-bit with PowerPivot, and am having a couple of issues with KPIs (and I'm not alone).
I'm adding a KPI:
As you can see, I've chosen a non-default icon set. Here's what you then see initially:
OK, I know the solution to this (and am sharing it here just in case it helps anyone else) - just untick the Status column, then re-tick it to redisplay it. This seems to solve the problem (which didn't happen in PowerPivot for Excel 2010).
However, I then get this:
Definitely not the icons I asked for. It seems that whatever icon set you choose, you always get the default ones. Can anyone shed any light on this?
I'm experiencing the same problem. Seems to be a bug.
Steps for workaround:
Format a cell correctly on a separate worksheet using conditional formatting, select the cell.
Double click Format Painter under "Home Tab"
Format one of the status cells in the column.
Go to Conditional Formatting -> Manage rules -> Edit rule and choose: All cells showing "Your column Status" values.

How to emulate a mouse-click and similar degree of interactivity by an Office Add-In?

This will be my first Add-In. Please bear with me.
The goal of my add-in application is to replicate a very tedious, repetitive work by a user. She tells me that she initiates her task by clicking in some sort of combo box or drop-down menu and typing several digits, followed by a click on the "Ok" button.
Question No. 1: What is the official name of that contraption (the one in mustard color) and how is it coded into an Excel cell?
I gather than Add-Ins are coded using something called "Object Model"? I have seen about 4 lines of such code.
Is there a statement like this?
ClickOnCell("E32");
That contraption is a filter.
If she always types the same number into the filter search then you could store the filter as a custom view in the sheet.
Due to the lack of responses, both here and in 2 Microsoft forums, I have decided that the answer is:
There is no way
Then again, with only 13 people reading the question, the chances of one of them knowing the answer are very low.

View clipboard contents

Does anyone out there know how I can view what's actually being copied from Microsoft Excel when I select a set of cells an click "copy"?
I would like to see what, if any, styles, html, etc are actually being copied from the product. I am extending Dojo's Rich Text Editor and need to make sure that when the data is pasted, it is properly pasted into the editor.
Thanks.
I was able to do this with a quick java application.
If anyone is interested in this, please reply to this answer.
