Microsoft Word - Bug in Arabic Word makes comments backward in English Word

Microsoft Word - Bug in Arabic Word makes comments backward in English Word

Bug in Arabic Word makes comments backward in English Word

Posted: 06 May 2014 03:14 PM PDT

I teach ESL and whenever I get a paper from a student who is using an Arabic version of MS Word, whenever I leave comments in the file, they become backwards. There is no way around this other than copying it into Notepad and recopying it into a fresh Word document.

I have tried selecting all the text and changing the proofing language, I have tried removing formatting. Nothing words except pasting it into Notepad and then back into Word. Left and right alignment changes do nothing.

Here is an example:

You can see how the period will end up at the "beginning" of the sentence sometimes (here it is actually the middle, and the end is unpunctuated).

Is there any way around this or patch that I am unaware of?

Totally unqualified user interface designers

How do you create a text box (which I want to paste a picture in, which is possible, so text box is a bad name), aligned right, with no border, that allows text to flow around the top, left, and bottom of the box? I've tried SO many things for hours, then I somehow made it work, then I wanted to change the margins of the page and couldn't so I started all over and I can't do it now. Clicking the stupid question mark didn't help. I don't want a Bing search, I want a manual with a text box section. The search returned tons of useless results. I actually found a result that seemed to apply to one of the problems but it didn't work. Sometimes options I want aren't in focus so they don't work, other times they're settable and still don't work. I tried selecting stuff and using the right-click menu but nothing there worked. Once in dozens of tries something in the toolbar worked but I can't figure out how now that I'm trying to do it again. Is it true that you can select a text box and there's still nothing on the right click menu that will allow you to change the way text wraps around it or whether it has a border? That's crazy.

Windows 7 and Windows Phone 8 are extremely unfriendly too. I seriously think people at Microsoft care nothing about hiring qualified people.

Yes, I need help, but I have to choose between "Post a question" and "Post a discussion" and I'd rather address the bigger issue.

Word TOC Error

Posted: 06 May 2014 12:18 PM PDT

When I change a Word document with a table of contents to "read only" and try to update the TOC, the page numbers disappear and the formatting changes.  (The headers change from black [auto} to white.)  When I delete the "read only" status, the TOC updates properly.  What is going on?

 

For reference, I have been changing to "read only" by right clicking the file in an explorer window, selecting "properties", and then checking the "read only" button.  Also, I am using Office 2007.  However, my colleagues using Office 2010 have the same problem.

As a separate, but related, issue, when the update is working correctly, and I update the entire table (vs. just the page numbers), the TOC font changes to Bold.  Highlighting the entire TOC and clicking the Bold button fixes this.  Why does this happen?  (not as critical, but still irritating)

Is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between Word documents?

Posted: 06 May 2014 12:16 PM PDT

Gee I just love the way Microsoft tries to think for me popping up the most USELESS suggestions when you're composing your original post.  Sometimes I wonder if anybody there speaks English as their first language. I doubt it.  The suggestions have almost nothing to do with my subject.  Thankfully, here in these forums, many people have a good grasp of the language.  

---------------

Anybody know where the option is in Word 2003 to allow multiple documents to be in their own windows?  Can't find it.  Using Microsoft help is worse than useless.  I used to use that and it was convenient because then you just Alt_Tab between documents instantly.

---------------

How about something better:  A keyboard shortcut for switching between 2 open Word 2003 documents?  Is this possible in Word 2003?  That would be mighty handy and fluid.  In Excel, apparently its Control_PageDown/Up but that doesn't work here.  So nice when Microsoft chooses to not bring over shortcuts from one of their programs to another.  That would be way too logical.  Its like nobody talks to other departments at this company.  It sure would make users' experiences a lot more convenient if the shortcuts were the same.  Control_PageDown/Up does nothing in Word except move the page down/up.  So its not even being used.

Thanks for reading.

Word 2010 equation gallery is blank

Posted: 06 May 2014 11:55 AM PDT

I have a colleague who is using Word 2010 and when she goes to Insert>Equation, under the structures on the right for Fraction or Script, etc and she clicks on the drop down arrow all the boxes are blank.

I have tried running a repair of office with no success.

I tried moving the 1033 folder under appdata\roaming\microsoft\document building blocks then opening word again and this did not resolve the issue either.

Short of removing and installing it again, is there anything else that can be done? 

How To Send Word Document Directly in Email W/ Text Wrapped Photos

Posted: 06 May 2014 11:19 AM PDT

Question: How to send a Word doc (with photos "text wrapped") directly in an email that can be viewed as an html file (vs. a text file) on all PCs, laptops, phones and tablets

Background: Our organization has a daily newsletter we produce using Word 2013. We currently layout the document with photos "In Line With Text" and and then send the Word document directly in an email with the "send to mail recipient" button in the top left-hand corner. The email will come through just as it appears in the word document with all photos visible and active hyperlinks to PCs, phones and tablets. Example below.  

We have updated the design of the newsletter to have all photos aligned to the left and right with text wrapped (example below), but when we send the document via email it comes through as a text-based email, with all the photos as individual attachments and the layout completely distorted (tested on an iPhone and iPad). We currently save the document as a ".doc" file but we also tried ".htm" and ".html" and it didn't make a difference.


Is there a way to have text-wrapped photos aligned to the left and right and still have our email come through on all PCs and mobile devices? Any suggestions are welcomed!

How do I set a non-standard TintAndShade for a font, border or shading using VBA?

Posted: 06 May 2014 10:50 AM PDT

Hi

The Font, Shading and Border objects do not appear to have any means of setting ObjectThemeColor or TintAndShade. I need to be able to set these to use an accent color but 50%, 75% and 90% lighter. The resulting color MUST be theme aware as it will need to change if the theme color changes (client has 11 different colour schemes).

From recording what the built-in palettes set I can see that there is a negative numeric value that can be applied but obviously I can only record the standard tints of 40%, 60% and 80% lighter.

  Selection.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -738131969 'Accent 1
  Selection.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -738132122 'Accent1 60% lighter

Is there any way of calculating these values (that will work)?


The Fill and line color properties for a shape can be set in this way, so why aren't the other objects fully compatible with theme colours?

Linking Content Controls to Custom Properties

Posted: 06 May 2014 09:10 AM PDT

Much thanks to all responders in advance for any help provided.  I'm looking for a way to link user input values in the form of Content Controls to Custom Properties in MS Word. 

I've been using Legacy Form Text Fields and linking them to Custom Properties through the Bookmark Values.  This works for short entries but is not convenient for paragraph length inputs.  Regular Content Controls do not specify Bookmark values, but is there still a way to link them?

Thanks again!  I look forward to reading anything you might have to offer the topic.

Word 2013 Printing Issues

Disappearing Figure, Table, and Equation Labels for Appendices

Posted: 06 May 2014 08:07 AM PDT

I have a large document about which I posed and earlier question about Appendix numbering and received a huge assist in an answer from Doug Robbins.  Here is another question, somewhat related, and resulting from experience with the same document.

I have several larger appendices in this document.  I am required to number Figures, Tables, and Equations in the appendices separate from those in the main body.  Thus, Figures in Appendix C are numbered C-1, C-2, C-3, etc.  I had to create a new label for each of these, called Figure_Apx, Table_Apx, and Equation_Apx, as directed by the excellent article authored by Shauna Kelly.

The current problem:  I opened up the document, and desire to insert a crossreference to a figure in the Appendix.  All three of these labels have disappeared from the list.  The actual labels at the figures remain intact, and I assume that existing crossreferences also are present and functional.  But where did these new labels disappear to?  Are they somehow hidden?  And if so, how can I get them to appear?

Collapsible / Expandable Headings

Posted: 06 May 2014 08:07 AM PDT

A feature that would be great for upcoming MS Word versions would be collapsible / expandable headings. The idea is similar to the functionality currently in Outline View, but it needs to be available in the normal views like Print Layout, and it needs to have a bit more functionality. Everything after a heading & before the next heading (at the outline level selected) needs to dis-appear when a heading is collapsed. This includes pictures, tables, footnotes, etc.

Training materials often serve a wide audience.  Some users are novices, and the advanced content overwhelms them.  If they have to wade through it to find their answers, it will stop them.  Yet, the advanced users need instructions on a much deeper level.  Right now many on-line sources (even the Microsoft Support website) use the collapse/expand approach to avoid user overload, while providing more options for those who want it.

It would be very nice to incorporate this as an optional feature into a tidy MS Word file, so people don't have to be VBA programmers or web-developers to use it. I have been looking for an effective way to show only as much training content as the user wants to digest for a technical product, and I have seen posts in other forums where teachers have tried to do the same for their course content.  Microsoft could please a lot of customers with this feature.

EndNoteX4 problems with Onedrive and Word 2013

Posted: 06 May 2014 07:07 AM PDT

If I create a word document which is saved in onedrive, EndNote will not allow me to insert a citation - I get the error:

This method or property is not available because the drawing operation cannot be applied to the current selection

As a result I have to save the document onto my hard drive before I can insert a citation.

Can this be resolved?

Word 2010 always displays save-as window but never saves

Posted: 06 May 2014 05:01 AM PDT

Hi,

I have the following problem that I cannot find a solution for. I have tried everything from deleting the data registry, renaming the document in windows explorer etc.  It its as follows:

I have a document that is 350 pages with many images, on file it is over 12 megs. When I enter new information and try to save, I always get the save-as window.  If I give it another name the save as window pops up again with the original file name. I end up just exiting and not saving.

Sometimes when Word is opened and It is just sitting there,  I get a "Word has stopped working"  popup with close or restart program options.

I really don't know what the problems is and I am hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.

Thank you all

Heading numbering disappeared after updated changes on shared document

Posted: 06 May 2014 02:51 AM PDT

Hi,

From time to time I'm experiencing problem with heading numbering in Word 2013 document. Here is a background of this problem:

Document is shared by 2 people. It's published on SharePoint 2010 library. This two people are making changes on the document at the same time. In the document heading styles are changed, so that they are outline numbered.

Sometimes when one person is updating changes on the document, heading styles loses their numbering and the paragraph indentation change its values, although the other person haven't made any changes to styles. It's a nondeterministic behaviour and we haven't found any circumstances why does it happen.

Could anyone help us resolve this issue? It's very frustrating that from time to time we have to fix styles in our document.

Cannot open ordinary .docx file created with Word 2007 on PC (OpenXML Problem??) / Does Outlook (Exchange Sever) corrupt the files?

Posted: 06 May 2014 01:33 AM PDT

Dear all,

In my office we are using Word 2007 to create ordinary .docx files. When I email such a file to my iPad I cannot open it neither in the Mail.app preview nor in Word for iPad.

Mail.app tells me its an "Office Open XML word processing document" and Word just tells me the file is damaged. However the files opens just fine in various versions of Word for PC and Mac.

Does anyone know what is happening here? I bought Office for iPad especially to being able to open the word files I create in my office... :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mail Merge Word Documents

Posted: 05 May 2014 09:32 PM PDT

Using Office 2010, I do alot of mail merge letters using Word and Excel.  Normally I use the same main Word document which I merge with various Excel files.  In one case the main document is a dotx file, in another case it's a docx file.  At the end of the mail merge I save each letter as an individual Word file.

When I later go to open a saved letter, I get a prompt stating Opening this document will run the following SQL command, then gives the data source and asking if you want to continue.  If you answer yes, the file opens.  With some letters, it then says it cannot find the data source, then gives a Select Data Source dialog box - eventually when you click cancel the letter opens.  This is because the letter thinks it is linked to a previously used data source, not the one used to create the letter.

My problem is that I want to be able to email the letters to various managers for signing.  I used to send pdf files but some of the managers like to use an electronic signature so I need to send the Word file.  I think these messages will confuse them - especially the second example where they get 3 messages before the file will open.

Any help will be appreciated.

Lag in Word 2013 caused by Equations

Posted: 05 May 2014 04:14 PM PDT

Hi, I know that this topic has been brought up many times, but I haven't found a solution to the problem, so I am bringing it up again.

When I create a new document, there is no lag at all, and even if I have a long document with text only, lag is negligible. When I create an equation, if it is small, the lag will also be small, but if I say have 5 lines of equations and text, especially if I have equations with more than just text, such as matrices, accents etc., the lag becomes unbearable. If I take those 5 lines, and delete them, the lag is instantly gone. Because of this, I am almost 100% sure that the lag is caused by the equations.

Also, there is no lag if I am typing something outside of Word, even in Onenote: If I take a heavily lagging document, copy and paste it into OneNote, there is no lag at all. Edit: There is lag when moving the cursor in OneNote, but very little lag in actually typing

It would be great if somebody could give me instructions on how to get rid of the lag.

"spinning Cursor" problem with documents.

Posted: 05 May 2014 05:44 AM PDT

Original Title < Spinning corsor >

Hi

It's a "spinning cursor" problem but slightly different from those raised by others and probably something really simple.

Timing of it may be just coincidence but it may be, as usual, that messing around with the Screen Resolution and Icon Size options confused it.

 I dunno, but the coincidence is odd.   What happens is specifically that the cursor jams for a few seconds before working as normal, as if it needs to correlate with the page every time afresh.   What I mean by "jams" is that it moves around the page but eg I can't close the page.  I activate the cursor by clicking on the page whereupon the "spinning disc" routine occurs for a few seconds and the whole page fades a bit for a second or two, then it all comes back and works perfectly well without any more glitsches.

It's as if the mouse is working out what the screen resolution is, or something.


It's a good wireless mouse, not too old.  

I tried unplugging the little USB connector which picks up the signal and delivers it to the computer.  Obviously to no avail.

I read the other threads.  If necessary, I could try booting up in safe mode but that seems excessive for such a simple thing.

I followed the other link kindly given by Hannah.   It seemed to return me to such a general Help page, I read that page top to bottom but nothing did I see related to spinning discs or any other obvious next steps.

Any ideas ?  Thanks.

Is it possible to delete an email after reading/viewing?

Posted: 01 Sep 2006 09:12 AM PDT

I am not sure of a method to do this, but philosophically, I disagree
with using that as a method to keep mailbox size down. Doing so allows
no ability to go back and reference an email for information and heaven
forbid the person accidentally triggered it as read. Use mailbox
limits and user education to settle your size issue.

As far as users using shared mailboxes, this should not be encouraged.
If they are using a shared PC and you do not want to deal with multiple
profiles of Outlook, then set up individual mailboxes and show them how
to use OWA. Configure OWA to use Forms-Based Authentication and then
educate the users on the need to log out of the browser when they are
finished.

These suggestions should help with your overall problems.

Incoming SMTP Traffic, FE to several BEs

Posted: 31 Aug 2006 10:41 AM PDT

1) The front-end (bridgehead, actually) will attempt to send the message to
the appropriate back-end server. If the link is down to any server, it will
hold the message for the timeout period, which I believe is two days by
default.

2) In general you should design backup routes in your network topology and
let your routers take care of it. If that's not possible, you could route
the mail alternatively by creating two routing groups, one for the front-end
and one for the back-end, and create redundant routing group connectors.
For your example, if you created three routing groups, one for FE, one for
BE-15, and one for BE16, and you created three routing group connectors, one
for each pair of routing groups, and if the link between FE and BE-16 went
down, link state should detect it and attempt to route from FE to BE-15 to
BE-16.

Freeze Column for view

Very Tricky Grasshopper...

This sort of works, in that it indeed freezes the task name descriptions on
the left side of the screen. Unfortunately, the indentiation of sub task is
lost making it a bit difficult to read. Any thoughts on how to keep the
formatting?

Thanks for your response

"Joliet" is a system level file specification for CDs and the naming rules -
length, allowed characters, etc - it requires differ from those of Windows
itself. You'll need to rename some files to conform to the rules or zip your
files into an archive before saving.

Recurring Tasks on Saturdays and Sundays?

Posted: 21 May 2005 03:37 PM PDT

Project Standard and Project Pro do have some differences, but I don't know
if they would affect this issue.

I have found that editing a recurring task once it has been created does not
work nicely (as you noted). But creating a recurring task on Saturday or
Sunday after first defining the working times does work for me IF I define
the duration to be 2hrs and explicitly define the start time (not just the
date) in the Start box. To see start times, go to Tools > Options > Views
and select a date format that includes time.

Can I use Project for this?

John-

I think I understand the "span" of projects that Project can handle. I'm
reading all I can about project management in general, read something today
which has me wondering if project management software is the best solution
for a musical organization:

(I'm paraphrasing the text I read here:) There's a distinction between
normal _operations_ of an organization, and _projects_ of an organization.
Normal Operations are repetitive, ongoing, activities/processes. Projects
are non-repetitive, specialized, finite events.

In a musical organization, "Normal Operations" ARE (in a way) repetitive,
ongoing, yet unique, finite events. Normal operations to, say, a symphony
orchestra, are a series of concerts. Week in, week out, x rehearsals and x
concerts. The only major thing that changes is the program (and the date).
Yet for each of these, you can identify and quantify all the tasks,
durations, resources, costs, etc., which project management software uses to
help you.

So, do you feel the "normal operations" of a symphony orchestra, as
described in the preceding paragraph, are indeed a series of projects?
That's how I'm approaching my studies right now. If so, I can more easily
adapt the facets of Project that I learn to a musical organization.

So I guess when I used the term "overkill", I was heading in that direction:
is it even beneficial to use project management software to manage a
repetitive series of projects (all of which ARE collectively "normal
operations")?

different work hours for different resources

Posted: 20 May 2005 01:46 PM PDT

Note that regardless of task type, when you assign the FIRST resource(s) to
a task Project assumes that was what you had in mind you were going to do
when you made that duration estimate and thus won't change it. Also,
Project doesn't have a clue what the work requirement represented by theat
duration might be until after you've made the intial resource assignemnt.
Joe works an 8 hour day. If I have Task X with a duration of 5 days and
assign Joe at 100%, Project calculates the task requires 40 man-hours work.
But if I initially assign Joe at 50% instead, Project calculates the task
requires 20 man-hours but keeps the duration at the same 5 days. It's only
if I assign Joe initially at 100% and then EDIT his assignment to something
else will Project calculate a new duration value.

The duration of a task is exactly the same whether the calendar of a
resource assigned 100% shows he works a 4 hour day or an 8 hour day. But it
will take twice as many elapsed time calendar days to "burn up" that
duration for a 4 hour a day resource as it does for an 8 hour a day one.

If Joe who works an 8 hour day is assigned 100% to a task beginning Monday
that requires 40 man-hours, it will finish Friday at 5pm after 40 duration
hours. Each workshift is 1 8-hour duration day.

If Joe who works an 8 hour day is assigned 100% to a task beginning Monday
that requires 20 man-hours, it will finish Wednesday at noon after 20
duration hours. Each workshift is 1 8-hour duration day.

If Joe who works an 8 hour day is assigned 50% to a task beginning Monday
that requires 20 man-hours, it will finish Friday at 5pm after 40 duration
hours. Each workshift is 1 8-hour duration day.

If Bill who works a 4 hour day is assigned 100% to a task beginning Monday
that requires 40 man-hours, it will finish a week from Friday, 10 working
days, but still after 40 duration hours. Each workshift is 1/2 of 1 8-hour
duration day and so it takes 2 working shifts, spread over 2 calendar days,
to equal 1 duration day.

New User: Budget?

Posted: 20 May 2005 11:19 AM PDT

The term "budget" is a bit problematic when dealing with MS Project. The
everyday usage of the term connotates a maximum dollar amount one is allowed
to spend as allocated though some top-down process to distribute monetary
resources to the various activities of the firm, which is not quite what
Project means by the term. Project's budget is a bottom-up estimate based
on projected costs of the materials to be consumed and the labour to be
performed for each activity, rolled up into the summary level and project
levels to compute total amounts. Fixed costs are a portion of those
budgeted costs, representing projected costs associated with tasks and
summary tasks but that fall outside the materials and labour categories -
rent on office space or airfare for a trip for example. Once the projected
costs are saved as a baseline you can think of them as a top-down budget as
presumably that baselineing only happened after you've submitted your
projections for senior management approval and they've come back with a go
decision authorizing you to spend that amount. If the "budget" is actually
that first top-down estimate based on a distribution of projected revenues
rather than an estimate of required expenditures, I'd suggest using one of
the use-defined Cost fields to hold it so I have it handy to compare mny
estimates to. If the estimates are less than the budget, great! If the
estimates are greater than the budget and managment won't negotiate on
budget or scope, update the resume!

Maintaining a Valid Baseline

Posted: 20 May 2005 07:48 AM PDT

Yes, I totally agree and am attempting to do just that. use a legitimate
baseline. But my file corruption issues prevented me from continuing work
with a 5800 line schedule unless I performed the "project import and delink"
routine I described. This left me with a Baseline that is now questionable.
When I found the milestone with a BLfinish that was before it's BLstart, I
became very suspicious of MSP 2003's ability to calculate and maintain data.
I traced back through archived files and found the Finish<Start issue existed
long before I performed the conversion to correct the VBA issues.

Here's what I discovered since then...
MS Project does not protect the Baseline fields at all! You can manually
overwrite them. So, I can go through all the pains of establishing a
baseline, then someone can change the data in Baseline Start/Finish, etc. and
resave the file. The "Last saved on..." info is not affected. There is no
way to know if someone messes with the schedule data.

Microsoft need to put field-level security on this product. And they need
to add better error checking into the calculations functionality to prevent
time-warping milestones!

John,

I don't know what you mean by ""switch to Active Directory?""

First you need to have an account with Administrative rights.

Once you login using this account you will have access to the Admin menu in
Project Web Access.

Admin>Manage Users and Groups>Groups>Add group

Group Name: [I have entered the same name as that in Active Directory as
the group name]
Description: [I have entered the same name as that in Active Directory as
the group name]
Active Directory Group: [enter the name of the Active Directory group you
want synchronised here]

Click on Save Changes.

thats all that should be required to synchronise with AD and you should end
up with the list of accounts in the groupname you selected above.

Hope this helps. :)

CRM on SBS (Internet, Domain)

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 01:10 AM PST

Hi Henrik,

As far as I know, Remote Desktop should be possible to use it under SBS2003.
Have a look at the following article:

SYMPTOMS

========

When you browse for computers by using the Remote Desktop tool or the
Terminal Services Client tool, Windows XP-based and Windows Server
2003-based computers with Remote Desktop enabled may not appear in the list
of available computers. Additionally, Windows XP-based and Windows Server
2003-based computers with Remote Desktop enabled may not appear in Microsoft
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services Manager.

CAUSE

=====

By default, only Windows Server 2003-based Terminal Services servers and
Windows 2000-based servers with Terminal Services installed in either
Application Server mode or in Remote Administration mode advertise
themselves as Terminal Services servers. This behavior makes the browse list
in Remote Desktop and Terminal Services Client more usable, and makes sure
that only Terminal Services servers appear in Windows 2000 and Windows
Server 2003 Terminal Services Manager.



RESOLUTION

==========

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may

require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that you can solve

problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry
Editor at your own

risk.





To cause a computer that is running Windows XP Professional or Windows
Server 2003, but is not configured as a Terminal Services server, to
advertise itself as a Terminal Services server:



1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

2. Locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Terminal Server

3. Change the value of the TSAdvertise DWORD value from 0 to 1.

4. Quit Registry Editor.

5. Restart the computer.



Note Windows Server 2003-based computers that are configured as Terminal
Services servers, and Windows 2000 Server-based servers or Windows 2000
Advanced Server-based servers with Terminal Services installed in either
Application Server mode or in Remote Administration mode already have the

TSAdvertise

registry value set to 1. Therefore, these servers advertise themselves as
Terminal Services servers.

STATUS

=====

This behavior is by design

Going mad with crm migration

Posted: 02 Jan 2005 10:31 PM PST

The documentation says that I just need to make sure that the required fields
have values for the data to migrate. The are only two required field values
in the cdf_products table the rest are all null. But if what your saying is
true about the prices then does that mean I have to import the data into to
two sets of tables at once?

As to the idea of using scribe, surely its not unreasonable to believe that
the DMK cant manage something as simple as this. Also buying another third
party piece of software isn't an option right now.

Thanks for your ideas

check activities condition doesn't work .. HELP

Posted: 31 Dec 2004 01:12 PM PST

Hi Matt ... I am testing a workflow rule using the example you send me and
it looks like this

When Case Is Created
Email Template: New Support Case
Wait for 1 hour(s)
If
Check any activities created for this object
then
Note: There are activities
Else if
<<add conditions here>>
Then
Note: There are NO activities
End If

As you can see, after a case is created I send an email to notify about
the new case after that I want to wait 1 hour and if any activity has been
created besides the email send I create a note but I always get There Are
Activities even if the option Include activities created by workflow is
checked or not ..

I did another test without sending the email and it works OK

I thought that if I dont check the option Include activities created by
the workflow it won´t consider the activities created by the workflow so
it won't consider the email send as an activity ..

What can I do to check if no activities has been created after the email
send automatically by a workflow rule ? or is not possible ?

I hope you can help me ..

Does CRM allow products to be grouped by categories?

Posted: 29 Dec 2004 03:55 PM PST

George,
You can also add custom fields to the Product object using the Deployment
manager. We did this to create product type and product line fields. And
you can display these fields on the Product views, and/or create new views
that show products based on the values in those new custom fields.

But, unfortunately, you can't use these groupings when you add products to
an Opportunity, or Order... (You can use the Product views to find the
products you want, and copy/paste the product name/id into the search field
when adding a product. Kludgy, bit we're working on a better workaround. HTH,

Feature Requirements

Posted: 29 Dec 2004 10:22 AM PST

Here's my short list of must-haves for CRM 2005:

-More robust workflow programming tool (and accompanying documentation!)
-Fewer new windows popping up (or none at all)
-A way for end-users to save queries in Advanced Find
-A way to view leads/contacts/accounts and click a "Next Lead" button to get
to the next one in the view
-Field masking (phone number formatting!)
-A way for an end-user to quickly and easily see what workflow is processing
on a given record, and the ability to stop or alter the workflow
-Improved Fetch querying (Ability to do cross-entity queries for null sets)
-De-duplication of records on the fly (ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!)
-Real-time synching of activities between web client and Outlook
-Same functionality between Outlook client and web client (mail merges, etc.)
-More robust email template editing (or at least the ability to paste in
HTML developed in another webpage development application) and CSS support

That will get me started. I could go on, but I'll leave some room for other
folks to contribute.

I'm looking forward to the finished list, Jake. Keep us posted.

Thanks,

As you can see the database is the critical piece of the entire Microsoft
CRM solution. The web servers can be rebuilt easily but if your database
goes down you are in trouble.

This means you need to make sure you invest in reliable hardware for your
server with adequate manufacturer support. This of course means no building
servers from spare parts your company has lying around the office (trust me
this happens)

You SQL server should have RAID 5 support so you can handle a single disk
failure. In addition you should also consider mirroring the operating system
drive as well.

At the minimum should be performing regular transaction log backups of the
sql database as well as a daily full backup of the database. I recommend a
thorough read of the Microsoft CRM Implementation Guide to familiarize you
with disaster recovery situations.

And a happy new year to you to!
