Versions 7 & 9 compatibity

Posted: 15 May 2009 06:43 AM PDT

jbcbussoft,
have you gone to the printer's manfacturer's website and see if there is an
updated driver for your printer. Especially if it is HP printer. There have
been some MS Office updates, that would also be installed if MS Works was on
the PC, that had caused problems with Excel and MS Works spreadsheet
programs, and some programs. Upgrading to MS Works 9 may not solve your
problems.

Opening a Works 4.5 database in Works 8.5

Posted: 07 May 2009 08:38 AM PDT


I see,
try the options offerred by the posters here then.
Just be aware you may regret going to 8.5, when you lose the
ease of use of 4.5a
Also, I believe files you open with 8.5 if you convert them
will no longer be able to be opened with 4.5a
You get caught between a rock and a hard place.

Personally I would remain with 4.5a and try to solve the printer problem
even if it meant purchasing a new printer
I use an old Canon i250, which was cheap, and it has never failed
(the cartridge replacements are expensive though, around $15 for black)
I haunt it auctions and sometimes one can pick up generic ink tanks
for around $1 each.

text format of dates in different languages

Posted: 05 May 2009 07:57 AM PDT

The keyboard languages aren't important.

When you change the regional settings in control panel, does the dialog
there show the correct long date format?

If your question is whether entering 1/2/2009 is January 2 or February
1st, in the US it's month/day/year but Europe it's day/month/year. So
depending on your regional settings, you should get different results.

Internally, Works stores the date as the number of days since January 1,
1900. So once the date is entered, changing the format won't change the
actual date, just how it is displayed.

Also be sure to close Works while changing the regional settings so that
Works is sure to puck up the current settings.

Database calculations

Posted: 29 Apr 2009 09:51 AM PDT

Hi Cyndi,

To can extend this principle by using the date as well as the time.

For instance:

Field1 holds the date for time 1 (Field2 below)
Field2 holds the time of day on day stored in Field1

Field3 holds the date for time 2 (Field4 below).
Field4 holds the time of day on day stored in Field3

Field5 holds the time difference in Hours and is calculated as follows
Field5 =((Field3+Field4)-(Field1+Field2))*24
*24 being the 24 hours in a day. (See Mike's message regarding units in
days).

Field 5 would be used in calculations regarding the interval between the two
times.

For display purposes, to create Hours and Minutes will require extraction of the
hours and minutes separately and casting to strings values to concatenate these
to display Hours and Minutes.

For example:

Field6 can extract the Hours using the formula
Field6 =INT(Field5)

Field7 can extract the Minutes (as minutes) from the interval value using:
Field7 =(MOD(Field5,Field6))*60

Field8 can display "hours and minutes" using:
Field8 =STRING(Field6,0)&":"&STRING(Field7,0)

HTH,

spelling and grammar check

Posted: 26 Apr 2009 07:36 AM PDT

Some people have found a spell checker problem between Works 9 and
Office 2007, especially when Office is installed after Works.

If you have the install media for Works, uninstall it and then reinstall
it.

If Works came installed from the factory, you are in a bind.

I have no idea what option Ronald is talking about. It might be
something specific to whatever version of Windows he is running.

As for both the Works Word Processor or MS Word, the setting is under
the Autocorrect options of the program.

As for the Qwest mail program, you'd have to check with them to see if
they have such an option.

MS Works 7.0 and a 64-bit processor

I might have bought the theory if I had not successfully installed 7.0 on

is making me crazy and the difference in the procs was the only thing I could

Microsoft Word - Default Program for MS Word

Microsoft Word - Default Program for MS Word

Default Program for MS Word

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 02:43 PM PDT

How do I make MS Word 2010 a default instead of MS 2013 that came with a free trial on my new laptop.  The subscription has run out. I already have my purchased 2010 installed.  When I open a word document, it defaults to 2013 and since the subscription as expired the document can not be used, even though I have 2010 installed.  I have tried "open with" but 2010 is not listed only 2014.  I have also tried "change" under properties, but again 2010 is not an option.

Getting unwanted page borders in MSWord

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I'm using MSOffice 2013-MS word.

I created custom margins (top .5, Right .5, bottom .5, left 1) and used Times New Roman-16 Bold on an 8 1/2 X 11 page.  I'm getting an unwanted border around the text. I can create a custom border  that sits inside the unwanted border.  I cannot get rid of this unwanted border.  Help would be appreciated.  I tried to upload a copy of the docx file, but got "invalid file name" error.

Bottom line of picture border does not always show up.

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 01:20 PM PDT

How do I format a picture so that the solid line outlining it will always show up on the bottom.   Some pictures are ok, but on others only the top and side lines are there.  I've tried resizing the pictures, which sometimes resolves the problem.  I've also tried copying and pasting the picture, which also works sometimes.  Not knowing what is causing this leaves nothing but a hit and miss solution.  The picture Caption seems to make no difference at all.

CTRL+ALT+Enter function in Word 2010

The CTRL+ALT+Enter function in word creates a pilcrow with a dotted box around it.

Editing cross-references in the endnotes

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 11:45 AM PDT

The Chicago Manual of Style, which I am using, requires that references to maps, figures, etc. in the main text be lower case. The insert Caption process and a cross-reference thereto result in a capital letter, e,g., see Map 3-2. By right clicking on the cross reference and choosing "lower case" this changes to "see map 3-2" and that remains after updating fields. Great!!

The problem I have run into is that this does not work in the endnote. The ctrl+click works, but the right click to edit to lower case does not--there is no option for "edit" on right clicking. Manually editing the field by adding "*_Lower" and updating results in the lower case. While the filed is still shaded, the ctrl-click does not work.

Is there a solution?

How to see top/bottom margins in Print Layout view?

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 11:02 AM PDT

How can I see the top and bottom margins in Print Layout view and Whole Page zoom level?

I see them on one computer, but not on another (both Word 2003 SP3).  So I believe I unwittingly set a mode or option.

With Portrait orientation, I see left and right margins.  But not top and bottom margins.

The ruler shows an area of only 9 inches, yet the Paper height is 11 inches.  So I "know" the top and bottom margins will be 1 inch each, as I entered in Page Setup.

It just bothers me that I cannot see those margins on the display.

Any ideas?  Need more information (what)?

changing captions and crossrefrences according to the chapter number

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 10:42 AM PDT

I wrote a document with 3 chapters (chapter1,2 and 3), in each chapter I made a caption to the figures such that figures in chapter 1 are: Fig 1.1, Fig 1.2 etc. but in chapter 2 they are Fig 2.1, Fig2.2 etc.

I decided to transfer some sections from chapter 2 to chapter3. The problem is when I copy and paste those sections they will keep their captions and even inside the text were I crossrefrence them.

Ex:

Chapter 3

As we can see in Fig 2.2

Fig2.2: the figure caption

I have a huge amont of figures and crossrefrences and I want a way to copy them from chapter 2 and put them in chapter 3 but at the same time I want to change their captions and the text crossrefrences to be consistant with the new chapter number.

Any Ideas?

Customized themes (Color and Font) not saving correctly

When I save a customized color, it does not save the correct colors? This is also happening in the customized Font also, the new Heading saves correctly but the body does not?

How can I use the standard font "System" shipped with all operating systems since the dawn of time?

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 09:08 AM PDT

As per subject line.

I am using MS Word 2007 and would like to use the "System" font to highlight code in an assignment. I have been hindered by the fact the drop down list does not contain this font and I have verified that the font is installed and usable (opened notepad and selected the font no problem).

After trawling the net, I finally decided to sign up to this forum to get the answer.

The font is called "vgasys.fon" when looking at the fonts file details so that anyone trying to help knows what I am talking about.

Thanks for any help, I am quite adept at modifying things such as registry entries, moving and copying files to odd places and so on so if someone has a method, I will see what I can do to implement it. If you can provide full instructions, that would also be useful.

Opening word problem

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 08:17 AM PDT

I have had my laptop for around a year, and it has been running fine. But over the last few days I have not been able to open word without a message coming up which is headed 'user account controls' and it asks if I want to make changes to the program. If I press yes or no another notification comes up which reads 'we're  sorry, but word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to close as a result. Would you like to repair the program now?'. It then gives three options, repair now, help and close. I've tried them all but nothing happens. I've looking on the internet for a solution but cannot find the relevant information. Can anyone help? Also it only happens on word, not on any other Microsoft programs such as excel.

Problem with Building Blocks and Custom Cover Pages

I am at a loss to explain this behavior.  Can anyone offer a suggestions?

Can't translate Japanese words to English

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 05:11 AM PDT

The translation button in Microsoft Word (Office 2010) for translating words to different languages has stopped working properly. I have used it for years when translating from Japanese to English, but but suddenly it stopped working. It does work if I select any other language to translate Japanese into, e.g. Hindi, Chinese, German, etc, but not English. I get the message "no results were found." As I said, it still works for translating Japanese into every language except English. 

It also does not work going from English to Japanese, although again it works for English to most other languages. 

What to do?

Microsoft guilty of bad spelling practice - such as suggesting you're instead of your

Posted: 26 Apr 2014 04:12 AM PDT

I come across this quite regularly in newspaper articles, fan fiction and other documents, where you're is used instead of your, and it is very annoying.

This is likely, mainly Microsoft's fault, as the Word Spell Checker highlights the use of your as incorrect and suggests you're.

It would be extremely naive if Microsoft was to say that it is the responsibility of the user to make sure any change they make is correct, as many users will be using the Word Spell Checker precisely because they are not confident of their own spelling ability.

There are many faults with the Spell Checker, with the latest version of Office 2013 taking a giant leap backwards in terms of usability and efficiency. This forum details the problems of the Spell Checker in other discussions, so I won't repeat them here.

Suffice it to say that Micorosft has a responsibility to get the Spell Checker right. It is not only used by our children at school while they are still learning, but also by people from other countries who do not have English as their first language.

I look forward to a spirited debate on this issue.

Can't load JPG in userform control on some PCs without initial hocus-pocus

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:30 PM PDT

What would cause lines like these in an ordinary userform:

Me.myLabel.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\path\xyz.jpg")

   -or- 

Me.myImageControl.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\path\xyz.jpg")

....to work fine on some PCs, but on others supposedly identically configured, initially throw the bizarre error below:

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

Automation error

Unspecified error

I say 'initially' here because I've made the following very scary additional observations:

 - The same code works fine in Excel on all of our machines

 - The same code begins working, permanently, in Word, on all of our machines *if* I:

      (a) change it to open GIFs instead of JPGs

      (b) run it once with that change, and then

      (c) change it back to open JPGs.

Evidently I could avoid this situation by "pre-soaking" each PC using GIFs, but that's hardly practical.  Is there an explanation and/or a way to avoid that error?

Any clues greatly appreciated.

DUPLEX PRINTING PROBLEM

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 09:14 PM PDT

Printing on a HP Deskjet 3520 e-all-in-one printer on Win7 running Office 2010.

If I have it print a Word multipage document in duplex, it prints the first page alone on a single sheet of paper and ejects it, then prints pages 2&3 as a duplex and ejects, prints 4&5 as duplex, and so on.  Yet, if I select just pages 1&2 to print, it prints them in duplex just fine on one sheet and ejects. If I then select to print just pages 3&4 in duplex, it does these fine, and so on.

Yet, if I have it print ten pages in duplex, it prints page one alone and ejects, then does duplex on all the remaining pages.

Why Does Word Opens in Security Warning Mode With Super Trusted Files

Posted: 25 Apr 2014 06:56 PM PDT

I use MS WIN 7

Whenever I reboot my MS Word for Office 2010, and Open a Word file, it opens in the "Security Warning , with Application Add-Ins have been disabled" Mode.  This occurs even for Super Trusted Files.  I must hit the 'Enable Content' button on the message Bar to use the file normally but something is wrong to make it do this. 

This trouble began when I fixed another long standing problem with MS Word. This was that my Word was running slow and sluggish. This would manifest when I typed a character that would appear a split second later. Or I would select text to copy and paste and the selection was a split second behind my moves, or when I saved files it would browse to the save to location very slowly. This slow and sluggish behavior would stop when I rebooted, but it would reappear in an hour or 2.  

I fixed this problem by: (1)  deleting all my Word temp files by typing "%temp% in the 'RUN" dialog and (2)delete my Normal Template which was corrupt. And BOOM,! no sluggishness. A

BUT NOW, I have this Security Warning Mode" problem. Both these are more annoyances than a major problem but they are very annoying. Please help!

Hi Cathy,

You can do this in Form Customization for Case. Click "Change Properties"
for the Status Reason Field, then go to the Values tab. In here select Status
"Resolved" and you'll see Problem Solved in the list. You can add extra
values here.

Hope this helps,

Not supported with the current version.
If this is a 'major' issue, today the only workaround is to use Virtual PC -
when a user logs on to a system they open up their own unique environment in
Virual PC.

Deployment error - PopulateStringMap

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 01:01 PM PST

This was what I thougt too, but the language on development server and
production server is the same. Furthermore, the problem occurs on the
development server, when I try to publish my customization from the
deployment manager. I have just tried to export/import the development
environment into itself and the problem still remains the same. the XML
looks fine, but there are errors during the import and the stringmap table
still does not contain the correct values.

Customized app with CRM for POCKET PC???

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 11:39 AM PST

It is highly unlikely that the CRM dlls will work on a pocketpc platform.
Remember that the pocketpc .net environment is called the compact framework
meaning a lot of the functionality of the full blown .net framework is
missing.

Your best option in my opinion would to write a service that sits on the CRM
web server. This service will act as the layer between requests from the
pocketpc device and crm. For example that pocket pc could issue a web
service call to your new web service that says give me an xml file
containing all crm contacts i have access to

the web service then calls into the crm platform layer using the crm sdk
then returns the data back to the pocket pc which can then process and
display the data.

CRM SF Outlook: Succesful Install, cannot access though

Posted: 21 Dec 2004 08:19 AM PST

First...review your install documentation to verify you have everything
properly configured.

If... you have a properly installed and configured CRM server, Exchange
server, CRM email router, Outlook and Sales for Outlook client...

Then...open Outlook, find the Microsoft CRM folder in the left-pane folder
tree, click on it or expand it and click on a subfolder. Also, you could
click on the Shortcuts button (looks like a white box with a black arrow in
it) in the bottom left part of Outlook and click on a CRM shortcut.

Hope this helps.

I'm not aware of a single Workflow Manager/Monitor that is available with
standard edition ... Workflow Manager and Workflow Monitor are programs that
may be found on the CRM Server and believe should only run if you are
licensed for Professional edition.

There is one event (OnChange) that can be configured using JScript for
picklist fields so that when a picklist value changes a value in another
field may be set. Linda

There is an unsupported way to modify this directly in the database. Edit the
SystemUserBase table and change the login field to be domain\username. This
shouldn't affect anything else in the system.

Creating a new object

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 02:25 PM PST

Do you have a backup of the ISV.Config file? Odds are that there was a change
made to it that broke the "well-formed" XML in the file. When this happens, the
app throws all kinds of weird errors.

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 01:40 PM PST

Bill,

I agree with many of your points, but I also disagree about a few. In many
ways, some of the things the CMR team has done with integration (like the
Information Bridge Framework hook) are cutting edge. The overall SFO
integration (even with it's issues) is way beyond what can be done with a lot of
other products.

But, being brutally honest, they did drop the ball in a few areas like you
mentioned (and a few more I might add). I think a big part of the problem is
the overall size of the MS Org. I know people who work in a 30 person company
that don't know what a co-worker is working on. Now magnify that by a few
thousand and the propensity for dates to slip. From what I've heard, they are
making strides to get more integrated with the other product teams, but it is
not a straight forward effort.

They still need to make delivery dates and they often need to be pragmatic in
how they set those dates and feature sets. We may not agree with those
decisions in hind-sight, but when they were made, there is a good chance that we
might have made the same choice.

Jason,

Thanks for your input. I am at least glad that I was not overlooking some
simple way of doing this.

You comment about the product not being designed to handle this situation
seems to reflect a lot of what is currently in the package. I could not
believe that the original release would not run if .NET 1.1 was added to the
system even though 1.0 and 1.1 were suppose to run side by side, and then it
took almost a year before they could run on Windows 2003. It seems like the
CRM team is completely unaware of what is going on around them at Microsoft
and are fairly primitive in terms of modernization like integration with
Office and other productivity tools. Email originated in the package is
limited to simple text sort of like the messages you could send 40 years ago
using a ASR33 teletype machine.

Newbie with a couple of quick questions

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 12:49 PM PST

One more note about field sizes .... it's SQL that controls that. And, if
you will be using Sales For Outlook Offline (and so synchronizing MSCRM data)
SQL Merge Replication is used. This has a direct effect on your limits.
Synch will not work if any field that is part of SFO (doesn't apply to cases
but does to contacts and accounts) and the size is >6000 bytes (vs. 8000
bytes without using merge replication); also there is a column limit of 246
(vs 1024 without using merge replication).

Thanks for the reply. Matt

Luckily i have some free support from M$ so im going to speak to them. The
backups we have do not include the system state and the sql backups do not
have the transaction logs. unsure if this is important?

I have been following intenetly the technet disater recoevery instructions
but they are extraordinarily unclear as to what order i shoudl restore things.

i cant find any instructions on how to restore the replication pubs.

I have restored the sql databases with no problem but when i used the
deployment manager to to point crm at the restired dbs i get an error 'cannot
connect to sql server' . no other errors.

hopefully ms can help when they call back but if you have any ideas id be
glad to hear them :D

Is there a way to capture a mailmerge document as an activity

Posted: 20 Dec 2004 07:59 AM PST

Thanks,

But thios functionality is in even the most basic CRM tools, and has been in
products such as ACT and Superoffice for at least 10 years, this is a major
stumbling block, hence the appeal to see if anyone had come across a similar
issue and had found a way to resolve it.

Any development advice or even third party product advice would be welcome
if can do this bit of functionality.

Cheers,
Roland.

Removing fields

Thanks for your answer bit it is not what i'm searching for. I want to remove
a field from the screen, but I don't want to remove the attribute. For
instance the field freight terms in a quote we do not use so I want to remove
it from the screen. I did it with a lot of fields but this field I cannot
remove.
Maybe you also know the answer on this question.

Opportunity status change rule not working

Posted: 17 Dec 2004 03:21 PM PST

Well, one possibility is due to the fact that you can't add activities to a
closed Opportunity. In this case, the workflow is firing (or should be firing)
after the Opportunity has been changed to "Won". As a result, you can't add an
email activity to the Opportunity.

I would have expected something to show in Workflow Manager though to indicate
that the rule at least tried to run.
