Missing task launch bar in Works 8.0

Posted: 09 Mar 2006 08:50 AM PST


Let me guess. You have an Acer laptop (Aspire series).

Use the following steps:

1. Click on Start, and then click Run

2. Type "regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then OK

3. You will receive a message that the registration has succeeded.

4. You must restart your computer first before testing Microsoft Works
again.

5. If this does not resolve the issue, download the latest XML parser
version (MSXML 3.0 SP7) by using the following link
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=28494391-052b-42ff
-9674-f752bdca9582&DisplayLang=en>.

Hi there,
We are a retail store and have had many Acer laptops come back with the
same problem. After 25 minutes on the phone to Microsoft the very
helpful tech guy at the other end fixed the problem.

It seems that Acer's software is faulty (they didn't want to hear about
it though) and you'll need to register the MS XML Parser to make it
work.

To do this, you just need to go to Start -> Run then type "regsvr32
msxml3.dll" without the quotes, then click 'Ok.'

You should get a message telling you that it succeeded. If this doesn't
work, just go to Microsoft's Website and download the latest XML Parser
version, then install it.

Hope this helps.

Vanished work in Word

Posted: 13 Oct 2013 01:53 PM PDT

I spent an afternoon adding to a previously saved article in Word and accidentally caught my hand on the right side of the keyboard.  My eye left the screen for a split second whilst this happened and when I tried to continue working I discovered all the work I had done this afternoon had vanished.  The restore button was greyed out (it has now returned to normal but still will not retrieve any of the work) and I have searched the hard drive and cannot seem to find it anywhere.  There were approx 1000 words involved.  I have been unable to check the Clipboard as my second problem is that it is showing 3 out of 24 items stored and I do not know how to make the rest visible - on the assumption this missing work may be there.

Creating Drop Down Lists in Word 2013 that also allow users to type in manual entries...

Posted: 13 Oct 2013 12:22 PM PDT

I am having trouble with drop down lists in Word 2013.  When I create Date Picker field, it has the ability to select from a calendar or manually type in the field.  But when I create a drop down list, it only allows for selection from the drop down list and no ability for uses to manual type text if desired.  I want someone using the form to be able to manually type an entry if they desire.  How do I enable this? When I attempt to type in the field, there is a message in the bottom left hand corner of Word indicating that "the modification is not allowed because the selection is locked."  I do not have the check box for "Contents can not be edited" checked in the properties, though I suspect that is not what this is for.  Any suggestions

Custom XML Data

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 09:03 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Word 2013. When I opened a few files that had been created in Word 2007, I noticed that under "Inspect Document" it said custom XML data was found. I saved the files under new names and let Word remove the custom XML, but I'm a little concerned about how it got there in the first place as I did not (intentionally, at least) add any XML data. 

Is the presence of XML data any sort of danger or security risk to anyone who might be sent or open the file? And how could it have gotten in there without me knowing?

---

(Sorry if this sounds paranoid. I had an issue last weekend where Word was throwing a false positive and triggering a security alert on one of my documents. Both a Microsoft support agent and a response from someone on the community assured me it was nothing to worry about, but it left me a bit jumpy so when I saw the XML warning on multiple documents,I was concerned)

Problem pasting from Word 365 clipboard

I used the clipboard for the first time today. However, Word pasted all clipboard items into a single paragraph and not into separate paras, which I need.

Maybe it is just a glitch in Office. Thanks

Erase function on MS Word 2010 doesn't work

Posted: 12 Oct 2013 07:40 PM PDT

At some point the erase function on the inking tools of MS Word 2010 stopped working with my Bamboo Tablet and with my laptop mouse.
I can open the pen menu with a variety of pen colors of thinknesses, even a selection of highligers.

At first, I couldn't find the eraser icon in the ink tools ribbon.  I was able to add it through the options command, but it will not activate when I click on it.  It doesn't matter whether I try it with the mouse or with the stylus on my Bamboo Tablet.  The separate highlight pen icon won't activate either, but since there are hightlight pens in the pen selection, this is not a problem.  But the lack of ability to erase is a serious problem.

Is there a bug to fix or maybe some other solution?

Importing from Excel Project Template

Posted: 13 Dec 2004 08:33 AM PST

Hi Trac,
Where did you get the Excel template? Without seeing the Excel template, it
is tough to know if the template can be modified with additional information.

You may import any excel spreadsheet into MS Project, but you'd have to map
the fields manually. Depending upon the number of tasks in your project, it
may be more efficient to simply copy and paste or manually enter the priority
information in to the project you imported. The name priority shouldn't be
causing the problem and when I tested a sample import, the name priority in
the Excel file just simply meant that project guessed correctly the field in
import the data into.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Beginner Question

Theoretically, resources don't have anything to do with task
dependencies. Forget the resources for the moment. Lay out your tasks
with the order they should occur worked into your dependencies. For
instance, at a high level in software development, you create the
requirements, THEN create the design, THEN generate the code, THEN test
it. After you have all of your tasks laid out and the dependencies
created where necessary (every task should have at least one
predecessor and at least one successor, even if it's start and finish
milestones - any that don't are widows or orphans), then assign
resources and amounts of effort (work). Then you can add resources and
SPLIT the amount of effort (work) between the two resources to shorten
the duration of the task.

MS Project 2003 crashes as soon as I show it on the projector

Posted: 10 Dec 2004 08:53 PM PST

Hi Michael,
I'm afraid I don't have many other "guesses" for you. Do you know what the
overhead projector's preferred resolution is? I'd suggest setting your
screen resolution to the projector's preferred resolution, launch project and
see if project is stable. Then I would exit project, try connecting to the
overhead and try launching project again.

Hope this is of some help or someone else leaps in with the "perfect" answer.

Help: Lag time is being added when not called for

Posted: 10 Dec 2004 01:49 PM PST

The FS link says when the earliest the sucessor can start, barring lead
times, but it could start later. One cause is that it has to wait until the
next working time - the predecessor finishes Friday at 5 and the successor
can't start until Monday because that's the next working time according the
the project calendar. Another cause might be that the calendar of the
resource assigned to the sucessor has him unavailable until some period of
time after the predecessor ends. Or it could be that leveling is set to
automatic and the resource on the sucessor is already assigned to another
task at that time slot so the task in question has to move until he's free.
There may be other ways the successor would end up starting later than the
link would otherwise have it but those are some of the most common.

Help: Moving dates for an items doen'st move dependant items

Posted: 10 Dec 2004 01:42 PM PST

Hi Dab,

I'm afraid you're not missing something, you must have overdone it.
Because Project is supposed to do exactly what you want.
There are ways to block it though, and you must have gone one of the
following paths:

- Verify whether in Project, Project Information, the option is calculate
from start date
- Verify whether in Tools, Options, Calculation, Calculation is set to
Automatic (as opposed to Manual)
- Tasks with a strong constraint like MUST start or finish do not move even
if there are 33333 predecessors; Finish no later than constraints block the
task once the constraint comes into play.
- Once a task has an Actual Start set it won't mobve any longer. Project
will change your pla, not your history (that is what actual data are about)

Make your choice... it's definitely one of those.

Andy,
Trailing off in the Notes field on a view is caused either by,
characters in excess of 256 or line feeds or carriage returns in the
Notes text. If you print notes as suggested above, you shouldn't have
that problem.

Another method that I have employed is to use VBA to export the notes to

Custom Fields in the GLOBAL.MPT Template

Posted: 10 Dec 2004 09:37 AM PST

Yes. The Views and the Tables tabs show the newly created View and
Table in both the GLOBAL.MPT file and the current .mpp file. But the
Fields tab only shows my new fields in the GLOBAL.MPT file. Kinda
strange that the the Views and Tables act differently than the Fields.
Oh well...

I guess I will have to train my users to fix their older existing .mpp
files using the Organizer. I was hoping to avoid that but it sounds
like that is my only option.

Thanks for your help.

How can I calculate the npv and roi on project 2003?

John is right. You can calculate NPV in project, but it would require coding
the entire function from scratch in VBA. Further, you would have to find a
way to model things like revenue and depreciation which Project does not
deal with by default. I'd just use excel. The financial functions are
already predefined there.

With a little work, you can have both a schedule and financial calcs in
excel. See my excel schedule page for a starting point.

http://masamiki.com/project/Excel.htm

You could use that to model your tasks and then do some work to add costs to
it. Summing the columns would give you your monthly cash flows.

Track material usage

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 08:07 PM PST

I agree with you that materials are infinite, but we still need to know
when to order for new material. Let me give you an example. Now i have
a schedule which spans till 2008. The tasks listed in the schedule use
these materials. But we cannot have all the materials right now. It has
to depend on the consumption, and the consumption again is not fixed.
So lets say we have 100 units in the begining, but my schedule requires
1000 units. And suppose in between some tasks require more than planned
or new task is added. In that case i need to know the actual
consumption so that i know or predict when to order for new materials
or by what date the present stock will get exhausted.
I guess that clears my actual problem.

change format of custom field

Posted: 09 Dec 2004 05:09 PM PST

Hi SeeFar,
If the custom field is a number field, it will not accept alpha characters.
Data entered into a custom field must match the data type of the field. If
the custom field is a number field, you will need to insert a Text field,
copy and paste the values from the number field and then you should be able
to add your alpha text to the numbers.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi,

As long aas you do not assign resources to the summary tasks (which by all
means would be the fastest road to catastrophy) Leveling will ignore them

HELP.... word for mac-issue

Posted: 13 Aug 2008 01:47 PM PDT

As Jim said, repair disk permissions & you should be OK - post back with
specific details if not.

Also, you can't "use up" your Product Keys. You can reinstall using the same
key as many times as you wish. It's just that you can't get away with using
the *same* key multiple times on the same computer or multiple systems on
the same network... Only one installation based on the same key will run at
a time.

update 2008 12.1.2

Posted: 12 Aug 2008 12:29 PM PDT

Like others, I could not get the 12.1.1 or .2 updates to install. Unlike others having problems here, the problems I had were all related to permissions. I could not install the 12.1.1 or 12.1.2 updates until I
-repaired permissions
-rebooted
-ran the 12.1.1 update
-repaired permissions
-rebooted
-ran the 12.1.2 update
-to be safe I repaired permissions and rebooted again (this is definitely a Mac Microsoft product)

A look at the Console Install logs indicated that they were indeed looking for the languages during the install, but the permissions were preventing the operation from happening. I may have overdone it on repairing permissions, but it got the job done.

I include my experience here just in case someone had a similar issue. I will also mention that I am running an MSDN copy of Office 2008 (my company is an MS partner) which was installed with NO customizations or location changes. The 12.1 update was applied without incident.

Console error - CGBitmapContextGetData: invalid context

Posted: 12 Aug 2008 12:02 PM PDT

1. File locations in preferences are all on the local HD - and none that are remote.
2. Fonts - I have no non-system or non-MS fonts installed, only the ones installed by OS X and Office. I have also cleaned out the font caches several times.
3. Startup is slow the first time, and then speeds up considerably on subsequest startups. After a reboot, the first starrt up is again slow.
4. I only consider the console error messages a problem because the programs (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) are reporting so many of the same error messages and they don't stop. My assumption is that if error messages are being reported in this volume, then something is wrong and the programs are encountering problems they find necessary to report. I don't think it too much to ask a user who pays a lot for these programs to have ones that do not report so many errors. Also, I have no idea why it they are reporting these messages, whether it is benign, causes inefficiency or real problems - this is entirely out of my depth as just a fairly educated user.

Crystal report issue

Hi Chris,

It looks like you need to republish the reports. In order to do that you have to contact Microsoft MBS Support to let them republish them for you or to get hold of the republishing tool.

Vinícius Pitta Lima de Araújo,

Thanks for the great info. I got the tab working great. I am still having
some issue with the userid though, here is my code:

Imports Microsoft.CRM.Proxy
Imports System.Web.Services

Dim strServer As String
Dim strVirtualDirectory As String
Dim strDir As String
Dim oBizUser As Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser
Dim oUserAuth As Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth

Dim strUser As String

strServer = "CRMServer"
strVirtualDirectory = "MSCRMServices"
strDir = "http://" + strServer + "/" + strVirtualDirectory + "/"

' BizUser proxy object
oBizUser = New Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser
oBizUser.Credentials =
System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Error --> oBizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf"

strUser = oBizUser.WhoAmI().UserId

I am getting an error saying the following:

Client found response content of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request
failed with the error message: --
<html><head><title>Server

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

CRM Exchange Router

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 12:34 PM PDT

Hi Eric

I'm deducing that as the email gets sent fine via standard outlook that it
is indeed the router at fault. The error that you describe is consistent
with either the router not being installed or the installation being
unsuccessful, both scenarios that I have come across before.

I'm afraid that the only other thing to check is that if you have more than
one exchange box that the router is on the correct one, i.e. the one that
the MSCRM users receive & send their mail on.

If you have checked the reg keys & tried a re-install I don't think that I
can offer you any more possible solutions - Sorry. Please post if you do
find an answer so we all know the solution.

Thanks & Regards

CRM on Windows 2003 Server, in SBS 2003 domain?

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 11:45 AM PDT

Stephan,

Very practical. But the supported SBS solution is SBS2003 Premium which
includes SQL and ISA. You should determine the expected load from CRM,
perhaps with a Virtual Machine pilot install, and go from there.
 

If SBS has two nics you can certainly route the incoming CRM traffic through
it's firewall. You should always assign static IP addresses to servers.

You should use SSL for CRM internet access. SBS uses port 443 for Exchange
and remote web workplace. I have succeeded in setting up CRM to listen on
an SSL port (not 443) in CRM 1.2. SSL doesn't work with Crystal in 1.0.
Crystal initially refused to list reports, indicating a signon error
instead. I checked the Knowledge Base and determined that the fully
qualified name of the server (server.domain.local) needs to be added as a
WCS host to the web connector in the Crystal Configuration Manager. It
still uses port 6401. The default WCS name is the netbios name of the
server.

Installation of Microsoft CRM Exchange E-mail Router

Usually they are the same thing, if your mahince name is CRM1, your URL will be CRM1 as well (or if you need to use fully qualified name CRM1.company.com as noted below).

The reason why it is asking twice is just in case you have a machine (CRM1) that has mutiple websites, or mutiple network cards with multiple IP address, so it can find the website. (when using machine name to locate a website, it will alwsy display either the default website, or the default IP address that is bound to that website)
