MS Word Formatting

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 02:26 PM PDT

Hi Microsoft Community,

I have a word document that I want to copy into another but the formatting won't adjust automatically from the donor document to the new.

I have attempted pasting through "Use Destination Theme" option but it omits most of the new documents formatting styles.

I've also removed formatting from the source document and pasted into the new, but the problem still persists.

I have more cutting and pasting processes to go through for other docs and am looking for an easy and efficient way around all this.

Thanks in advance.

Macros disabled in Normal.dotm template

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 01:55 PM PDT

I'm having a contuing problem when I create a macro to be stored in the Normal.dotm template (in Word 2010).  I apologize if this question seems to be repeating the same one that has been posted over and over in the forum, but I've tried almost all of the suggestions and still have the original problem.  I have created a simple macro to be stored in the Normal.dotm template (I've been careful to make sure of that), but every time I open a blank document in Word, I get the message that macros have been disabled.  Even though my default macro security is set for "disable with notification", I know that macros in the Normal.dotm template should be automatically enabled.  My experience differs somewhat from others in the forum in that if I click the "Enable" button, I get a pop-up message that the "Normal.dotm is locked for editing by [my name]" and options to "Open a Read Only Copy", "Create a local copy ", or "Receive notification when original is available".  Any of these choices gives me a document with no macros available at all.  Also, this happens when it's the only document open, so how it's "locked for editing" is beyond me. 

 

I should note that my computer was recently upgraded to Windows 7 (from XP), and that I didn't have any of these issues before the upgrade.  I have spent most of an afternoon trying to solve this, but my only option seems to be to set the security to enable all macros, which of course is a big risk.  I'm not a newbie when it comes to macros, but this run-around is making me wonder if I should just give up on using this very useful tool. Could the problem be originating from something other than Office 2010 (such as maybe the Windows 7 installation)?

opening micrsoft word

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 01:35 PM PDT

I have MS Office Home and Student 2007, every time I open MS Word I have to wait for the "configuration process" which takes almost 2 minutes to run. Is there any way to bypass this process ??? My MS Office at my work computer does not do this, I click the button and the program pops open.

text disappears between pages in Microsoft Word 2007

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 01:08 PM PDT

Hello! I am experiencing an odd issue: At the bottom of one page and carrying over to the top of the next one, several lines of text "disappear." I can get the text to reappear by inserting a page break above it, but I'd really prefer not to leave nearly half a page empty for no apparent reason. The text is not hidden, the orphan controls and "keep with next" are deactivated, there are no margin buffers or footers that would obscure the text, and I just cannot seem to find a reason why this is happening. This issue has also been encountered by at least three other co-workers, and despite some intense Googling, we are unable to resolve the problem. (The only semi-related topics I've found deal with line spacing and tables, but neither seems to affect this issue.) Strangely, this does not happen in every document; there is no consistent pattern of when the error occurs.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

 

Word merge - Header issues

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 01:03 PM PDT

I am doing a merge in MS Word.  I really need to be able to put variable values in the heading.  When I put variables in the heading, the values are not filled in.

 

This is in Word 2007.  Is this any different in Word 2010 or 2013?

 

Thanks

In word 2013 I have a multi paged table. I can't move the table down on the second page.

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 12:04 PM PDT

The table on the second pages sits up high on the page. I can't seem to get the table to slide down a bit so I won't be stapling on the writing in the table. Any time I try to put the curser above the table on the second page it just wants to sit inside the table and to space inside the table. I want to slide the table down and make space above the table, that is continuing from page one. I have tried a few things but it just messes up the table and the other pages. When I just try to highlight the top of the table on page two it also highlights the bottom of the table from page one. The table still sees its self as one even with the page break. I did not create the page break it decided that for me. Trying to make forms for a classroom. Thanks

word 2013 opening compatibility mode with different file name

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 11:15 AM PDT

When I open Word 2013, with an older file format (2010, 2007,ect.) the file name will show up as "Wd000001" for example in compatibility mode. Whenever I convert the file or resave it to the newer version, it will still open with the file name Wd000002 or something similar. The older versions used to open in compatibility mode, but would keep the same file names. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want it to keep the same file location and name.

Page Count In Footer Not Working as it did in Excel 2007

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 10:48 AM PDT

I can't find a way to add to the page count in Excel 2010.  In the past I could use "&[Pages] +2" to add 2 to the number of pages printed.  Then I could combine pages from other spreadsheets with the total number of pages being correctly shown in the footer.  Now this syntax simply appends the number to the number of pages so instead of 21+3 = 24 pages I get 213.  Any ideas?

Words stretching to justify

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 10:09 AM PDT

I have written a file in Urdu/Pashto language. Let's suppose the first line has 10 words and the second line is comprised of 6 small words. Justification does not increase the spacing between the words to make the two lines equal. I want the individual words to be stretched such that both the lines are of equal length. I also want the remaining space to be compensated by the software via automatically increasing and adjusting the spacing between the words. 
Note: For larger files increasing the spacing between the shorter lines one by one is a lot of work and present ugly looks. Words stretching would be a nice alternative. 
Microsoft Word does stretch the words but the problem arises that the words get stretched only in the case when one last word slips to the second line. when i bring it back to the parent line, the stretching gets lost. I have illustrated the scenario in the following picture.

Why has Word made format changes to my document?

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 06:13 AM PDT

When I reopened my Word doc many of the paragraph indents had been removed and so had various sections of text in bold and italics. It's a big document so I'm wondering how I can undo these changes ('undo' doesn't do it - they were already like that last time I opened the doc in Word). Thanks very much

Run-time Error 5 "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" when querying an Access table from Word

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:04 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

 

In Word 2013, I query an .accdb database with two extremely simple SQL strings:

 

 

 

Function GetDivisieID(Divisie As String) As String
Dim strSQL As String, varResult As Variant

    strSQL = "SELECT Description, DivisionID FROM Divisions WHERE Description='" & Divisie & "'"
    varResult = StartQuery(SQL:=strSQL, SortString:="", FunctionName:="GetDivisieID", Scheidingsteken:="")
    GetDivisieID = LTrim(Str(varResult(0)))   
End Function

 

 

 

Function GetTaalID(TaalAfk As String) As String
Dim strSQL As String, varResult As Variant

    strSQL = "SELECT LanguageID, Description FROM Language WHERE Description='" & TaalAfk & "'"
'    strSQL = "SELECT Language.LanguageID FROM Language"
    varResult = StartQuery(SQL:=strSQL, SortString:="", FunctionName:="GetTaalID", Scheidingsteken:="")
    GetTaalID = LTrim(Str(varResult(0)))
End Function

 

 

 

' StartQuery() merely exists to avoid duplicate lines of code

Private Function StartQuery(SQL As String, SortString As String, FunctionName As String, Scheidingsteken As String) As Variant
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection, strConn As String, rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim lngN As Long, strResult() As String, strDB As String

 

    Set StartQuery = Nothing
    ReDim strResult(0)
    strResult(0) = ""
    strDB = modPaden.OWDatabase ' path to the database
    Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strDB & ";"

    With conn
        .Open (strConn)
        .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    End With
   
    With rs
        .Open SQL, conn ' <= the error occurs here
        Set .ActiveConnection = Nothing

    End With

 

    If Not (rs.BOF And rs.EOF) Then        
        If SortString <> "" Then
            rs.Sort = SortString
        End If
        rs.MoveLast
        rs.MoveFirst
        lngN = 0
       
        While Not rs.EOF
            Select Case FunctionName
                Case "GetDivisieID"
                    strResult(lngN) = rs!DivisionID
                Case "GetTaalID"
                    strResult(lngN) = rs!LanguageD
                Case Else
            End Select
           
            rs.MoveNext
            lngN = lngN + 1
            ReDim Preserve strResult(lngN)
        Wend
       
        If Not (UBound(strResult) = 0 And strResult(0) = "") Then
            ReDim Preserve strResult(UBound(strResult) - 1)
            StartQuery = strResult()
        End If
    End If
    
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
    conn.Close
    Set conn = Nothing

End Function

 

 

My code calls GetDivisieID, which works fine, and immediately thereafter calls GetTaalID, which produces run-time error 5: "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument" when executing varResult = StartQuery(.... When I use the even simpler strSQL = "SELECT Language.LanguageID FROM Language", commented out in the above code, the error occurs as well.

 

In Access, all three queries work. I have copied the contents of the SQL-view in Access in the Word VBA-editor in order to avoid typing mistakes.

Why does the error occur? How can I avoid it?

 

Thank you,

Cooz

How to edit Word or Excel 2013 files on 2 computers at the same time? (It looks like OneNote & PowerPoint can do it all the time but not Word or Excel?)

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 01:39 AM PDT

Hi guys,

I have a PC and a tablet. I also have both the SkyDrive Desktop app installed, so I can pull the documents and edit them whenever from various places.

When I try to open the same file in OneNote (i.e., a NoteBook) or the same PowerPoint presentation, it allows for both computers to simultaneously edit the document (great for annotating on one and typing on the other). This occurs without any problems as long as the files are in the new format. I've noticed if the PowerPoints are in the older format (2007-2010, then it will not work.

The main problem is with Word and Excel 2013. I have noticed this simultaneous editing does not always work for Word. It never seems to work at all for Excel. I've noticed certain documents will allow me to edit them while others will not (any reasons?) When it does not give access, there will be an error saying "File In Use. This file is locked for editing by another user." Some Word 2013 files work and some files do not. I've checked the files that works and the files that do not, but they're both free of any type of restrictions. Anyone know why I am unable to open and edit some of these files on more than one computer?

Buggy equations in Word 2010

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 12:31 AM PDT

I am writing my thesis in Word 2010. 
I decided to go in this way instead of Latex because the native equation editor seems very intuitive and makes the writing process very efficient.
Recently I've had some problems with the equations. I prepared a short .docx file with the refered bugs and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to workaround this or, even better, to eliminate them.
Even if I have to install some extra patch or something it would be nice.

I did not find a tool to attach files here, so I made it available through Dropbox in this link:


Thank you in advance for any help!

System error with all addins containing userforms

Posted: 03 Sep 2013 12:25 AM PDT

One of my users reports a meltdown that began just after a presumably routine Windows update. I maintain two VBA addins and several regular (non-addin) templates for the company, and her PC -- alone -- now throws an error when any of these files that contain userforms is launched or loaded, or when attempting to open its userform module in the VBE.


Removing the userform(s) eliminates the error. The message (from VBA) is: System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found.


Googling this turns up a few people with similar issues, but all are from many versions ago. Some imply the fix is to reregister some (many? all?) .DLLs. But I'm not sure what that means. Can anyone help?


The only real difference I can discern between her PC and everyone else's is that hers is an HP whereas most of the rest of us have Dells.


Grateful for any clues.

Word 2013 unable to "create word file."

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 10:18 PM PDT

I have had Office 2013 installed since winter on my computer with OS WIN 7.  For most of that time now I get the message, "Word could not create the work file.  Check the temp environment variable" every time I open Word.  I have read the forums and applied every fix I can find...I have uninstalled and reinstalled, had my Control Panel repair the program, gone into my registry to apply a fix suggested to me (even though my registry was correct), gone into Internet Options to apply the fix there, start and restart my computer...I have done everything except sacrifice an offering to the Microsoft gods and NOTHING WORKS.  I have documents in Word that I can not even open and that scares me.  I wish someone would come up with a solution to this problem.  Is my Office program corrupt?  Do I need a new one? 

Maximum Word 2013 File Size

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 09:25 PM PDT

G'day;

 

I have asked a similar question some time ago but received conflicting answers.

So, I thought I might try again.

 

I have a have a very large Word 2013 document.

It has about 675 A4 pages with many graphics, tables, footnotes, etc.

 

I can't work with this file or save it in Word.

I have had to break it into small parts to work with.

However, I now have to send it as one contiguous file to a commercial printer to print it.

 

One person, who replied to my previous question, claims that they were able to work with a similar 700 page document with Word.

This caused me to wonder if the problem might be with my fairly old hardware system -- not with Word.

My system has only 8 Mb RAM.

I would go to the expense of upgrading to a new hardware system with 32 Mb of RAM if that would solve the problem.

 

However I don't know if the cause of the problem is a limitation of the file size that Word can handle,

or insufficient RAM.

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Hugh

How can I change the indent on an automatic numbered list

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 09:24 PM PDT

When I begin a numbered list by typing 1) and a space, Word automatically indents the left margin of my list, and I have to click the "decrease indent" button so that the 1) is lined back up with the left hand margin and there is no indent.  Is there a way to set up the automatic numbering so that the numbered list will begin without indenting the left hand margin?

How to enable inking in Microsoft Word 2007?

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 07:41 PM PDT

How do I enable inking in Microsoft Word 2007? The pen tools are grayed out and Start Inking does not appear in the Review tab. I have tried the following but it doesn't seem to work:
  • Add Pens to the Quick Access Ribbon. However when I click on it the pen tools are all grayed out. 
  • Enabling Tablet PC Components in Windows features. This was actually already checked, but I rechecked and rebooted just to make sure. Didn't work.
  • Download and install the latest tablet driver from Wacom's website. No luck.
  • Check if I can use the Windows Journal with my tablet. I can write in it just fine, but there is no pressure sensitivity. I can also use my tablet to write in OneNote. Again, no pressure sensitivity.
  • Go to Start > Right click Computer > Properties to check if Pen Input is available. It is available.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs > Change Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 > Add / Remove Features. I went through the drop downs for all components and couldn't find anything related to inking or handwriting.
I run a Dell Inspiron 1545, 64-bit Windows 7, Intel Dual Core with 4GB RAM. 

Any thoughts please?

How to avoid having two footers in a pleading

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:18 PM PDT

I have created a pleading boilerplate.  The title of the pleading must appear in the footer.  The second page of the pleading has the firm's address in the left hand margin (which is part of the header/footer for the second page and subsequent pages).  Therefore, I clicked "different first page"on the first page to avoid having the firm's address in the left hand margin (as it is already at the top of the first page).  Now, the user must put the title of pleading once in the footer on page 1 and again in the footer on page 2.  Since this document is being used as a boilerplate, I'd rather not create a macro to place the footer, I'd just like the user to enter the footer once on page 1.  Can anyone tell me if this can be done?

Thanks very much.  Michelle

Moving Cells in Tables

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 05:12 PM PDT

Greetings!

I have a MS Word 2010 document that contains about 100 tables.

Each separate table has four cells, each of which contains varying amounts of data (from one sentence to many sentences).

For example, all the tables look like this (the cells do not have labels):

Cell A | Cell B
---------------
Cell C | Cell D

I need help in creating a macro that will move / switch all the data in Cell C to Cell B, and move / switch all the data from Cell B to Cell C. This could be done by hand (mouse), one by one, but it would take almost forever.

The data in cells A and D will not be moved and should stay intact.

I would deeply appreciate your help in this matter.

"Lost" text in Word 2010 "web layout" view

Posted: 02 Sep 2013 01:05 PM PDT

For a few weeks now I've be noticing that in Web Layout view I have been 'losing' some text at the indicated page break line.  Here is 2 views of the same document. The only thing that has changed is that the first one is full screen and the other forced redraw because it was not full screen. The cursor was not moved, zoom level was not changed, only the document was "unstuck" from top of the screen which forced full screen view

<comment> Well, that sucks! Now I can't insert pictures. For some reason the "Upload" dialog only shows the heading and a blank 1 line space below it ...  FireFox 23.0.1  </comment>

<edit> OK, I logged in to IE and image upload works ... <sigh>, they are playing games again </edit>

<edit> <sigh> when I went to document not being able to upload images in FF, it now works. go figure </edit>

 

Note: in this first screen capture (app window not maximized to full screen) the body text goes from Point 12 to Heading 2 Item 4

 

 

This next screen capture shows exactly the same document at an indicated page break "jumping" from point 12 to several lines down into the Heading 2 body text, with no sign of the heading.


The images I was going to post show that without changing anything other that forcing a redraw, show that in one SEVERAL lines of body text are "lost" in the page break.

[discuss] Call for Nominations for Community Council Election

Posted: 13 Oct 2009 07:47 AM PDT

Hi all,

Louis Suarez-Potts wrote (13-10-2009 16:47) 

I would like to nominate Juergen Schmidt as candidate for the Community
Council.
Juergen is well known as lead of the API project (and co-lead before)
and in that position promoting the importance of more intuitive and
better APIs among the developers. He worked on the UNO, SDK and DevGuide.
He also is co-lead of the extensions project from the beginning. This
project is an important bridge to many, often non-corporate, developers
and contributors for the project.
Juergen also makes valuable contributions to the marketing project, for
example with organising the OpenOffice.org contribution for the FOSDEM
and promotional goods... T-shirts :-)
He is active at various levels in the project and whenever time allows,
with an open mind to reach out. I consider this very useful for a
position in the council, therefore I hope Juergen that will accept this
nomination.

Looking at his background, the Code Contributor as well as the Product
Development seat could be his place in the Community Council for the
next years.

Best regards,
Cor

[discuss] Incubator project proposal - OpenOfficeMouse

Posted: 12 Oct 2009 12:04 PM PDT

Hi Elizabeth,

The User Feedback Program has been amazingly useful. It's given us a
much better understanding of how people actually use the OOo
applications rather than forcing us to theorize about it. For example,
in Writer, people are 5.2x more likely to use the toolbar icon to Bold
text than they are to use the hotkey. However, they're 3.8x more likely
to use the context menu or the hotkey to Cut text than they are to use
the toolbar icon. Since hotkeys are faster than toolbars and Bold is
used 5.4x more often than Cut, this tells us that it's more important to
assign a button in a more prominent position to Bold than we do to Cut.

Of course, the users can assign any function to any button they like,
but the information is very useful in creating the defaults. In other
news, we tested the OOmouse with a Mac for the first time this evening.
While we will definitely need a little software to be written in order
for OS/X to recognize the other buttons, the good news is that the basic
L1 and R1 buttons worked without a hitch.

Thanks for the thumbs up, Sophie and Alexandro. FYI: we will have a
mouse or two to show in Orvieto.

With regards,
Theo

Hi Denis,

I don't understand what you mean? Are you talking about the
"registration" after you start OOo for the first time? If yes, this
shouldn't happen. Try to do a "repair installation", this should fix
this problem.
 

Did you check under "Tools > Options > Load/Save" if you have selected
the corresponding MS File format is chosen for each document type
(text document as MS Word, spreadsheet as MS Excel and so on). And make
sure, that you've unchecked the entry "always warn if document isn't
saved in ODF or default format". To save these changes you have to
click on "OK".
 

If you go to "File > Save as..." you can tick the checkbox with the
description "Save with password". When you check this you can enter a
password in the next step. But be aware, that you need the password
everytime you want to open this file. If you forget your password, the
file is lost - since you can't recover the password.

Hope this helps.

Office 2008 vs 2004 features

Posted: 04 May 2008 07:48 PM PDT

To piggy back on CyberTaz, the default file format for 2008 is
completely different than 2004. 2008 uses XML with an x at the end of
the file extension name. You can save in traditional format on a
per-file basis in 2008 or set the preferences to always use tradiitional
format (doc, ppt, and xls).

Different Version Numbers for Excel, Word,PPT - Updates not working?

Posted: 01 May 2008 10:55 AM PDT

That sounds right, as it the same versions I have on my machine. Not every
update updates all Office applications, so the application version number
does not change for all applications with each update you install.

You can go to /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/, and "Get Info" on
the "Microsoft Component Plugin". That file is updated after each update,
so the version number should be the version number of the last update
successfully installed.

CRASH - adding a footnot

Posted: 01 May 2008 03:45 AM PDT

Well, I've found a partial fix. The problem is related to language support (I use a US version). I was working with a papet in italian. I set the default language as "English US", and everything looks working now. Still, I have not tried the spell checker. The forum where I found the reply suggest that a foreign language support should work after that.

Using Office 2004 and Office 2008 on the Same Computer

The Office 2008 installer asks if should remove previous versions at the end
of the installation. If you say no, then the previous version will be remain
installed. You can run both 2004 and 2008 versions of the programs as the
same time if you wish EXCEPT you CAN NOT do this with Entourage. Entourage
2008 rebuilds the database and 2004 can no longer read it.

The other caveat is that when you double click a file the 2008 version of
the app will run. To run the 2004 version, simply open it and then use the
file menu to open a file.

Changing preset defaults in Mac Word

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 09:56 AM PDT

Keep in mind that not everyone works through the same interface - in fact,
most of us use newsreaders instead. The "title" to which you refer is only
seen by those who visit through that same interface. The SUBJECT of the post
- seen by everyone - simply reads "Changing preset defaults in Mac Word".

Your decision to *reply* to a post that had already been answered leaves
your request unidentified beyond what the subject states. Since the subject
matter of your inquiry was in no way related to the original topic it is
fruitless to assume that there were any other similarities. It's also quite
common for users of PC Office to post in the Mac groups, not to mention that
having posted to the Office group there was no indication of which program
in the suite your "templates" pertain - at least 3 of the 4 programs use
several different types of template files.

Any "attitude" in a written message is inferred by the reader, and if you
find a request for important detail offensive when someone is offering to
assist I doubt you'll have much luck anywhere else either. Wherever you
choose to ask you'd do well to familiarize yourself with newsgroup
etiquette, the use of which which would obviate such misunderstandings in
the first place. Suggested guidelines are available here if you'd care to
have a look;

HOWTO: Customizing CRM - include auto-number field?

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 08:49 PM PDT

Watch out for deadlock and transactional issues around this though. Don't
follow the original MSDN callout documentation that shows a call directly
back into the platform during the callout - use the more recent MSMQ-based
version. You'll have yourself a lot of hassle in the long run.

MSCRM time out?

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 08:11 PM PDT

Using this type of access would be a violation of the EULA for MS CRM. Legally,
the licensing is tied to a person, not an AD login.

As for the timeout, since the app uses integrated security and does not use the
session, there is no timeout functionality.

Unexpected Errors sending email

Mark,

Check the registry on the CRM server. Under the local
machine\software\microsoft\mscrm key there will be an entry for the Exchange
server. Verify that the URL appears valid. Also, check to see if you have SSL
installed on the Exchange server for OWA.

Question: deleted user in active directory before deleting in crm

Posted: 03 Jun 2004 10:36 AM PDT

Hi,

In what tables there is need for delete depends on how
much the user has worked with the system. Therefore look
through what data you don't want to lose. For instance
the user might be an account owner etc.

If you try to delete the user (in the SystemUser table)
it starts telling you what table will be inflicted. You
go to this table and try to delete that record/s. And so
on until you are allowed to delete the user. It's risky,
but so is life...

I know, I know last time I wrote about this I got
complaints. Microsoft will not support this blah blah
blah. But if there is someone who can tell me an easier
way out of this you're more than welcome.

Yes, you would just issue a command like

update LeadBase
set CFPfield1 = NULL
where CFPfield1 = 2

This is assuming the underlying value for "no interest" is 2.

You missed the other option and that is to allow access to CRM w/o SSL. Depends

Uhmm.........you weren't very clear. I'll assume you want to connect to your

make your IIS accessible to the public via SSL. And two, use VPN.

I've never done the SSL route, but VPN works just fine for us. The way this
works is that the remote client first connects to the internet, then does a
VPN to your network. Then he can access crm via IE just like as if hes in
the office.

As for the SSL way, check out the IG, I believe its explained in

As tony mentioned .ost is the offline folder. As for the interaction between

new crm reports

Posted: 02 Jun 2004 12:25 PM PDT

I installed the enhancemensts off of the cd for crm and I
installed 9.2.2.634 Pro from the crystal cd. The path I
took to get to the reports is:
C:\program files\microsoft crm\crystal
decisions\enterprise 9\FileStore\Input
I opened one of the folders until I got to the report, I
made some changes, and saved it to this folder.

Crystal isn't registered since this is my test environment
and I don't have access to a printer or the internet. I'm
not sure if there is a problem using Pro9 to create the
report and saving it in enterprise9 directory. I also
tried creating a report from scratch and saved it at the
root of input. The report works when I run it from within
crystal, I just can't figure out how to get that report to
be an option in crm under the report section.

Thanks for all of your help,
