Need to convert an .OST file into a .PST file.

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 11:20 AM PDT

Like Henry said, if you end up with an OST file and no mail profile
that it belongs to then your OST is effectively screwed. Well, the OST
isn't screwed but the fact that there's no MAPI profile means that
it's no longer of any use in it's current form.

Yes, that happens, with depressing regularity!

Exchange 2003 problem. What is the answer?

Posted: 29 Apr 2005 11:12 AM PDT

Is it at all possible the vendor's DNS systems have an outdated MX record?
By this I mean did you ever have your MX set to nameremoved.com even though
it is now set to the IP of mail.nameremoved.com?

Well, that's changed (I think)
The first post said that anyone at domain 1 could send to anyone in
domain 2 except JDoe who could send to everyone in domain 2 except
JaneDoe.

Now you say that more people are not receiving messages from domain 1?

I'd have a check on domain 2 to make sure that Jane Doe didn't get
married and change her smtp address (or something else along those
lines). Next thing is for us to understand how JaneDoe got into the
GAL on domain 1, who put it in there (as an AD Contact) or what sync
software are you using (if any)

Thank you for your reply. I thought it might be DNS related. Why can't the
Exchange server in "the other end" resolve our IP? It is public and an
MX-record is pointing it directly to our mailserver. Is it not something they
can do with their mail server? I really do not want to change my Exchange
configuration just for this one domain.

Exchange and DNS

Posted: 28 Apr 2005 12:16 PM PDT

Our Exchange server is windows 2003 with exchange 2003 pack 1. We have it out
on the DMZ so that our employees can access it through the web. The only port
we have open to it is 80. It is not a domain controller, just an exchange
server. If I were to cut the connection to a domain controller for even 30
seconds, we would have to reboot in order for the exchange services to
restart. Is that normal ?

Best Way to Forward Email?

Hi Fred,
I assume you got the answer to your issue.I swa your post and thought you
would be the right person to suggest me some tips on my migration.
By chance on some terms i am in the same environment exchange 5.5+ exchange
2003 and about to go for move mailbox for mailbox migration. I have tested
this scenario in the test lab and things are working.I need to aks your
advice on a couple of things,
I read somewhere that after ADC synchs the AD and Exchange databases and you
move some mailboxes over to the new exchange server, to have mail going
smoothly between the migrated ones and the ones which are still on 5.5
server.you have to tweak in ADC connection to create contacts/external email
addresses on 5.5 for the migrated mailboxes? please advice

Secondly,
If you wanna share any tips which i should be keeping in mind during the
move would be Greatly appreciated.
thanks

Removing last Exchange 5.5 server.

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 07:24 PM PDT

Mark, Thanks for your help but I still don't have the answers I'm looking for.

The SRS server will be phased out. The only reason it was installed on a
separate server was because the ADC can't run on a server that is a member of
the cluster.

KB152960 states the following:

Changing the Routing Calculation Server

The routing calculation server is defined on the Site Addressing object for
each site. If you fail to define a new server after deleting the routing
calculation server, Exchange will automatically discover the problem and
select another server, but this may take several hours or longer. In the
meantime, routing information may become out of date.

This is the reason why we have to choose a Routing Calculation Server
ourselves as we can’t afford to be down for “several hours”

When we choose the Exchange 5.5 Site Addressing to assign the roll to a
different server is shows all servers, including the Virtual Servers from the
Cluster.

So my question still remains:
Which would be the best choice for transferring the Site Addressing to:
A Front-end server, a Back-end server? They both have an option to configure
the Recipient Policy (Which I believe takes the place ot the Exchange 5.5
Site Addressing)

As for the second question:
Which would be the best server for the Routing Master Roll:
A Front-end server, a Back-end server? They both can be the Routing Master.

I hope you can answer these two questions for me.

Thanks

Microsoft Works - Message Rules

Microsoft Works - Message Rules

Message Rules

Posted: 02 Jan 2006 10:47 PM PST

The most common cause of rules not working properly is due to a
misunderstanding of how rules work. When a message first arrives, it is
checked against the first rule in the list, then the second, then the third,
etc. until it encounters the end of the list or the Action "stop processing
more rules". This means that a message may be a hit for more than one rule!
Not only that, a rule may specify more than one action (except those actions
which stop the message from being downloaded at all). OE4 stopped processing
rules automatically as soon as a message was a hit. If you install OE as an
upgrade and select to import rules, many of your rules will stop working
until you add "stop processing more rules" to the list of Actions in that
rule.

If you use a rule that moves a message to another folder, that rule must
include "stop processing more rules" in order for the move to occur. Without
the stop action, the message is checked against the rule, found to be a hit,
but then is checked against all following rules. In order to be tested
against rules, the message must remain in the Inbox, and so the desired move
never occurs.

Another consideration is the order in which rules appear in the list. If a
rule does not work, it is often a simple matter of moving the rule higher so
that it is processed before other rules.

Using AND conditions instead of OR conditions is another common mistake. For
example, suppose you want to prevent mail from friends from being processed
by anti-spam rules (using rules to filter IN valid mail instead of trying to
filter OUT junk mail). If your rule reads

Where the From line contains 'friend1' and 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

then your rule will never do anything at all because it is not possible for
a mail message to have BOTH 'friend1' AND 'friend2' in the From line. The
rule should read

Where the From line contains 'friend1' or 'friend2'
Stop processing more rules.

To switch between AND and OR in a condition, click on the blue underlined
string to open the Add dialogue. After you have entered at least one item,
the Options button will be available. Click that to select whether the
conditions uses AND or OR. This is also where you can specify whether the
rules applies when the string IS or IS NOT.

You can save the Works DB as a CSV ( comma separated values ) file. I think

This is worth a try.

Your best option is to buy a retail version of software that
you want to have. You can buy at a retail store or on-line.
WORKS version number (x) can be found on store shelves or
any version can often be found on-line. It does not include
Microsoft WORD or other OFFICE applications. It is designed
for basic home and school work at the grade or high school
level and small office functions with just a basic flat file
database and spreadsheet.
WORKS SUITE includes a selection of software, including WORD
in addition to the WORKS word processor.
You can get various versions of OFFICE or just the parts
such as WORD or EXCEL.
There are student discounts and you can buy some hardware
piece and also an OEM version which once installed is not
licensed to me moved to another machine.

Borrowing your friends software is not approved procedure.

If you are running ME, you may need to have some additional
files to get an install...and WORD will not install without
the proper version of WORKS installed or without an OFFICE
program already installed. The exact error message would be
helpful.

I go to click open the window of the word document that is minimized, and nothing comes up. I go to check the preview images in the windows (multiple) and will see that most or all of the document windows are now transparent. It appears as though the only solution, that I've found, has been to shut down word entirely and try to open them up again. You can understand how this might be frustrating, especially  when you minimized the window to do some research and are still using the document with its new changes, and now you try to close it and you can't tell how to save, because the whole thing is transparent/invisible. Any advice?

Setting AND KEEPING proofing language in Word 2013

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 11:07 AM PDT

I use a lot of quotes from German, French, Latin and occasionally other languages in my book-length documents.  I love the fact that Word is very good at recognizing German and French, but it seems as soon as you move on to something else it forgets and the proofed foreign words show up with the red line under them.   It seems to happen in different situations, but I can figure it out. When I reformat, for example, the proofing language for German or French will move, so that English words are then underlined.  Is there a way to prevent this?

Moreover, all sections of the document can be seen in the navigation pane, but when I click on a section further than page 13, they can't be access. 

The document contains endnote references, a table of contents and normal text. 

Word 2013 doesn't send any error messages.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Unable to open a hyperlink for Powerpoint file in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:09 AM PDT

Hello,

 

Hope someone can help me.  I have created a Word document 2010.  I inserted a hyperlink that should open a PowerPoint presentation file (.pptx).  When I click the link, it displayed a message window advising me the file can contain viruses...would you like to open this file?  When I click OK, it attempts to open the PowerPoint presentation file but then an error message comes up "Could not open file and give name of url'.  However, if I copy the URL and paste it into IE9 address bar, it opens PowerPoint presentation without any issues.  The file is hosted on our company Intranet website.  I also create hyperlinks within this Word document to go to certain websites and these links work fine.  Its just the PowerPoint link that cannot be launched.

 

Any guidance or help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Automatic Numbering Of Equations in Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:19 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I am wondering if there is an option to automatically number equations in Word 2010. So basically everytime a new equation is inserted, Word will automatically generate a number for the equation based on the next available equation number

 

Thanks,

Trouble with template margins - need confirmation if doing correctly

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 09:04 AM PDT

Hi all,

I am looking for a bit of "confirmation" here so I don't goof up a 2nd time - I just went through the updating of a company's few hundred templates in prep for them moving to a new letterhead.  Because of the sheer number of templates, I wrote a macro to open them all up and swap in the new header/footer text and to set the new margins.

The header has a lot of partners names (law firm) and so it takes up a lot of space (about 2").  So my snippet of code did this to every doc:

With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
   
    .TopMargin = InchesToPoints(2.05)
    .BottomMargin = InchesToPoints(1.6)
    .LeftMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .RightMargin = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .HeaderDistance = InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .FooterDistance = InchesToPoints(0.81)
    .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True

End with

We did the cutover last night.  Someone just brought me a sample of a 2 pg letter and they said "looks good - how come the 2nd page has so much white space at the top" (the 2nd page is different - it needs more like 1.5" to accomodate the logo without all the partners names).  Unfortunately, no one noticed this when I gave them sample printouts of the new templates.

Playing with the settings, it looks like what I should be doing is setting the .TopMargin to the minimum needed for all pages and then the first page header will "grow" up to the 2" it needs because it contains that much text?  Just want to confirm before I spend another whole evening (and their $$$) to convert all the templates again.

Note that they used to use Section Breaks set up by a previous IT guy and those caused lots of grief - so don't want to use them to set margins differently between the first and 2nd pages.

Thanks a lot for any advice/confirmations

Numbering problems

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 08:12 AM PDT

When I change a line of text to a numbered line, it will change the preceding line to numbered also. Using the undo once will change the preceding line back to plain text, but not the line I wanted to change to numbered originally. This is what I want, but why must I go through these extra steps to get it?

Missing Elements

Inserting Multi-line text field quick part from SharePoint Crashes Word

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

Title pretty much sums it up. Working on a doc template for a library, have a bunch of quick parts already inserted for various columns of the content type.
If I add a multi-line text field, it will crash Word. I've tried to see if it's the "unlimited length" switch in the column settings, but that had no effect. I tried inserting any of these fields into a plain blank doc, and it crashes Word as well, so I don't think it's a cumulative effect of adding a lot of fields from SharePoint to the doc. So...anyone know if this is a known issue or something?

Insering check boxes that can be checked with a click

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 07:03 AM PDT

I am trying to create a check box in Word that can be checked (marked with an x would be preferred) by simply clicking on the box.

I went to the Developer ribbon, and looked at the Control section. I see an icon for a checkbox, but it is greyed out. I have something that I can click on, that says something like "legacy controls." That will let me insert a check box, but I can't insert anything inside the box.

Using the instructions here (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/make-a-checklist-in-word-HA101833107.aspx), I can hover over the Check Box Content Control, but it is greyed out and nothing happens.

Documents opened in Compatibility Mode become corrupted when saved back to older version.

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:57 AM PDT

Hello, 
I have a file sent to me that was created in an older version of Word.

It opens in Compatibility Mode and I can edit it, add comments, etc. 

However if I save it back to the older version of Word (pre DOCX format), with or without edits, it freezes/crashes Word when opened again and cannot be edited. 

If I save it as a DOCX  then I can open and edit it. But since I am collaborating with a user who uses an older version of Word this is not a option.

Why is Word breaking the file when saving back to the save version? 

Thanks!

Way to get Word to have 1.15 as the default for multiple spacing

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 05:19 AM PDT

I often like to use the Multiple spacing option in Word, and I like the 1.15 option. It's not nearly as crowded as 1.0, but still conserves space on the paper.

Is there a way to get 1.15 to be the default value for Mulitiple? Every time I set it to Multiple, the value is 3.0 and I have to change it manually.

I do have my default style set to 1.15, but I'd like this additional change as well.

Help with Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2013 12:42 AM PDT

I am trying to open my documents which were saved on Microsoft Word, but I cannot do this unless I buy or activate Microsoft Office 2010. I can open Microsoft Word and write documents, but when I save them and try to open them, I can only do so with Microsoft Office. I also can't choose Microsoft Word as a default program to open documents because it is not listed there. I just want
to save and open all my documents with Microsoft Word again. Thanks.

*Update: I restored my computer to a previous date, and I can now use Microsoft Word again. Does anyone know why I couldn't access it before? I don't understand. Thanks again.

VBA to add alternative text to table

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 10:03 PM PDT

VBA has an obvious way to add alt text to an image (shape):

    xShape.AlternativeText = "test"

I don't see a similar method for adding alt text to a table -- even though the relevant spot for this (a tab in the Table Properties dialog) looks much like the pre-2010 tab for alt text on an image.

Is there a property or method that does this?

Cannot open files in Word or Excel

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 07:25 PM PDT

This is a recent problem. Never has happened before. When I try to open a file within Word or Excel, the folders show, but no files, even with the file type filter set to "All Files."  I can see drives and folders on the left side of the box, but no file list comes up in the main part of the box.  Sometimes I get the spinning-circle busy signal, and it just keeps cranking.  No problem opening files in the "Recent Documents" list. No problem opening files outside Word or Excel by double-clicking on the filename.  I have Office 2007 Enterprise with Windows 7 Home Premium.

Word Unilaterally Changing (Eliminates) My Normal Margins

I'm not sure what Office 2003 has to do with anything but since you're
installing an older version of Office you should remove it before
trying to install Office 97. If you have Windows XP with SP2, Office
97 will probably give you the errors described above.

One fix is to remove SP2 if you added it to XP, then install Office 97,
then install ALL the Office 97 SRs and ALL other updates and then re-
install SP2. Of course, if your copy of XP came with SP2 you won't be
able to uninstall it.

Let me know if this is the answer to your question, please.

Install error: business contact manager requires outlook 2003

Hi Bradley,

To add one bit to Sue's reply - it's not clear if you

The 'Enterprise Edition' is a volume license (non-retail)
edition of MS Office and Business Contact Manager 2003
doesn't work with Exchange Server that may be present
in a corporate environment if I recall correctly.

Office 2003 VBA Help will not install

Posted: 02 May 2005 12:17 PM PDT


Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I found the files in question but they do not
contain what I need. For example, I searched for the GetSetting
function.

Here is a more detailed example of what is happening:

I open Excel, then open the Visual Basic Editor. I click on HELP and
it opens a window to the right of my screen. I perform a search for
the word FUNCTIONS. I get a list of functions, some of which have the
specific designation VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS.

If I click on any other function I get the appropriate help
information, but if I click on any function with the VBA designation I
get nothing. The screen does not change. My click is totally
ignored.

On my own system I get a window with the help I am requesting for any
of the functions, including the VBA functions, but for some reason it
is ignoring VBA functions on this one system.

Thanks again.

Posted: 01 May 2005 09:03 AM PDT

Hi Rubes,

You can type in multiple languages in Word and other
Office apps, but the menu language choices are based on
the localization of a particular language version, generally
the menu language matches the language on the front of
the product box. Retail copies of MS Office come packaged
in product boxes :)
