Dictionary Add In Will Not Start

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 02:41 PM PDT

I downloaded three dictionaries from MS store and neither work. When I click on a word and choose define, the box opens on the right side with an error msg [App error. This app could not be restarted. etc.] . Clicking the Restart box does nothing. I cannot find how to reload/refresh the dictionary or uninstall the dictionary. Would purchasing a dictionary work better than the free ones?

Why is there a "server version" of my documents?

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 02:20 PM PDT

I recently started a trial installation of Office 365 Home (on my single home PC) and it's beginning to seem like a really bad idea.

I have several times now (since installing Office 365, never before) had confusing pop-up warnings about my version of a document (in Word or Excel) and a "server version" of the same document. In some cases (too confusing to figure out) there's a message that my document is in use by, or has been saved (or whatever) by "another user" who turns out to be me. I am the only person who uses this computer, and it is the only computer on my home network.

The path for the most recent "server version" is

C:\Users\[…]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Office.ODCPAW

  1. Could this have something to do with OneDrive integration?
  2. How can I make it stop happening (i.e. so that I never again have this fuss about a "server version")?
  3. Will it solve the problem if uninstall Office 365 and revert to Office 2010 (which works seamlessly with OneDrive) or has Office 365 now changed my system permanently?
  4. Would Office Home and Student 2013 cause the same kind of problem?

All Text In A Document Replaced With Invisible Foreign Characters

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 01:15 PM PDT

I have a folder full of text stories in various Word 2003 and Rich Text formats. I opened up my largest and most important doc (600Kb RTF file) today and every single letter, space and punctuation has been replaced with Hidden characters. When I choose show/hide formatting, the page is filled with characters that look like a Y with an Umlaut. There are just as many pages as there were originally, it's just filled with Y's. The rest of my documents are fine, and I do not recall closing this document prematurely or my PC crashing while the doc was in use.

My last manual backup was a few months ago, and it's on a non windows drive with no automatic backups/restore points.  I've tried searching for auto recover files etc and even did a deep scan with Recuva, but all I've got is this one massive file full of nonsense (Picture below).

I'd appreciate it if anyone could give any suggestions to how to recover the information, or at very least an explanation as to how this could happen.

All documents open in [Read Only] and [Compatibility Mode] from Windows Explorer

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 11:22 AM PDT

I used to have no problem at all opening "Word 2007 Documents" in my Word 2010. However, all of a sudden whenever I open a word document, even one that I KNOW I created with my 2010 version of Word, every single document opens in Read Only and Compatibility Mode. I can't edit until I hit escape, go to File, and convert to Word 2010. But even then, I have to create a save-as copy to keep my changes! I don't want to do this, I want to save my changes to the original document just like I've always done. These files are on a shared drive and it just complicates things to have to create another version of the file. 

I discovered that if I open my files directly from word rather than from Windows Explorer, some of these problems are alleviated. However, what's strange is that of two documents that are BOTH listed as "Wood 2007 Documents" in Windows Explorer, one of them opens in compatibility mode but allows me to edit and save changes without any problem, while the other still opens completely normally, no compatibility or read-only mode, and I'm able to edit and save it with no issues. This is the experience I've always had with 2007-version documents, and it's the experience I want back, no matter how I open the file.

How can I fix this so I can open my documents from Word or from Explorer and not have to deal with compatibility mode or read-only issues?

Thanks for any assistance.

Help with Indents and Lists

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 07:57 AM PDT

So I am currently working on consolidating a 150+ page word document into a different format and am having some trouble. The format is supposed to work like this

6 Title

6.1 Step 1

6.1.1 Details of step one

6.1.2 More details of step one

6.2 Step 2

However I am currently working with something like this

6 Title

6.1 Step 1

6.1.1 Details of step one

6.1.1 More details of step one

6.1 Step 2

While I have dealt with this before on a smaller scale (30 page document) and transfered everything to the template doc I would just rather not spend a week doing that if there are a series of 4-5 clicks that can solve this problem in a more effecient manner.

Hot keys for Building Blocks Organizer

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 07:54 AM PDT

I have Office 2007 which I am running in Windows 7.  The Building Blocks Organizer in Word has the I of Insert underlined which usually indicates that just pressing the I key will insert the chosen item from the Organizer.  Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working for me.  Does anyone know how to make those hot keys for the Organizer work?  I insert a lot of headers from the Organizer and it would make my job a heck of a lot easier if I could just press that I key to insert them after choosing them.

As an example of what I'm talking about I'll use the Find and Replace Commands.  In the Find and Replace window if you press R it replaces the highlighted word, if you press A it replaces all occurrences of the word, and if you press F it finds the next occurrence.  I want to be able to just press the I key in the Building Blocks Organizer and have it insert the selected item.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Quick Style Bullets Changing Spontaneously

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 05:40 AM PDT

I created a new style set that includes quick styles for a couple of different kinds of bullets, in addition to a numbered multilevel list.  I am reformatting a number of documents that use a different style set, and after formatting several of these documents with my new style I found that some of the quick styles I was using were changing.  In particular, when I applied my style set to the document, I noticed that my bullets no longer matched the parameters that I had set, but had become numbered lists, or the bullet disappeared, or the indents changed.  Now, every time I apply the style set (even to a blank document), some of the quick styles change - and never in the same way.  I wonder if this has something to do with the original style sets of the documents I am formatting, and whether this somehow destabilized my style set, but otherwise I have no idea why this might be happening.  Anyone?

OneDrive doesn't update

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 03:55 AM PDT

Hello! I'm using Microsoft Word 365 for iPad on iPad 3 with iOS 7.1. The software itself is great but I've started having a problem with updating OneDrive folder tree in Word for iPad.

When I start Word for iPad it takes some time to connect and then shows OLD folder structure (seems to be cached). When I try to update it with swipe down, the loading flowers cicles for endless time, than appears the message about problems with connection. But in fact everithing is well. OneDrive app connects fast and lets me to open word files in Word :) But what's with the Word itself?

PS

OneNote works good. Also, when I edit recent files in Word, they sync with my PC without any problems... The only problem with updating OneDrive in Word.

Office 2013 Pro - Word, Search find no results

Posted: 26 Jun 2014 02:58 AM PDT

I recently installed a new Windows 8.1 PC and loaded MS Office Professional 2013

When I am in word and am searching for a document to work on I click 'file > open'

When I type in the file name (or part of the file name) - the search always comes back with no results found.

I may have partially answered my own question here - I was trying the same search through windows explorer (not from the charms menu) with the same results (i.e. no files found) 

I now believe this to be a general issue with Windows Explorer.

I am using classic shell (4.1.0) could this be the issue?

Using the charms menu search, I can find some files, but not the specific file I was looking for (which I know to exist as a word document)

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

thanks in advance

Citation and Bibliography Styles

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 09:43 PM PDT

I am trying to use the citation feature on my Microsoft Word 2013. However, when I click the style button to choose my preference, no options are there. Additionally, I have looked in the program files and there are no bibliography styles that I can see. Is there an add-on that I can download that will have the default styles? I have seen downloads for extra files, but I can't even get these to show up after I downloaded and followed a youtube tutorial.

Documents open in read only.

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 08:00 PM PDT

I was using window 7 and saved all my documents from Office Home & student 2010 in an external Hard disk. When I open my saved documents in my new pc using window 8.1 and the same office Home & student 2010 all the documents open as read only.  Very troublesome when after some editing I cannot save them in the original file name. I have to save them in a new file name. Even that the new files still open as read only. What is my problem?

Word 2013 Won't Retain Style/Format When Converted To PDF

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:38 PM PDT

I've recently switched from Word 2007 to 2013 with the purchase of my Surface Pro 3. I write particular documents using a Style that I've created which includes a different margin (2.5" from the edge of the left page and 3" from the edge of the right page). The rest of the document is normal paragraphs from left to right margin. The font for the entire document is Courier New - there are no images, no graphs, etc. Just font.

When I Export or Save As a PDF, for some reason the Styled formatting does not retain in the PDF. It's as if Word 2013 allows for an extra character or two per line (I've noticed there's a difference between my 2007 and 2013 documents), but the PDF can't pick up on that. I know that sounds crazy, but that's what's happening. For example: if there is a Syle that includes 3 lines of text, in the PDF it will sometimes come out as 4 lines because a word(s) will be shifted down to the next line, Screws up an entire 110 page document.

Another thing I've noticed is that the margins on the bottom of the PDF sometimes appear to be larger. I am using a very basic document. I'm using 1" margins, 12pt Courier font, exact line spacing and everything is set to "keep lines together/keep with next" though I've tried it without those parameters as well to see if that at all contributed to the problem - it didn't. I've even tried opening the PDF in Word and that didn't help either.

I would really love if someone could help me figure this out as I've tried everything! All my settings are set to the same as what I used in 2007, I've tried with the 'Print to PDF' option, I've retyped 3-5 pages out again in blank documents, adding the Style after - nothing works. The PDF always comes out wrong. I've even tried my luck with the online chat with the Office team which was more frustrating than anything.

How to use Word switches for Excel percentages that are positive, negative and over 100%?

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:33 PM PDT

Aloha...

I have %'s in Excel that are negative, positive and over 100%, and the only switch in Word I found that shows me if a % is over 100 is =mergefield *100\#0.00% but that makes formatting to remove the preceding zero and decimal point to turn it into a whole number an extra step in Word. If I don't specify the decimal point, I get a long list of numbers after the decimal in Word.

In Word, it comes out as -0.17%, but I need it to look like -17% instead.  or if something is .69%, I need it to display 69%.

This is driving me nuts and taking lots of time. Please help?!

Thanks in advance!

Word 2013 can't display all pages

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:17 PM PDT

When I cut and pasted some pictures inside Word, suddenly the panel froze, however I could save it. After restarting, Word cannot display all the pages, it only shows first 14/29 pages. I know the rest are still there because when you view it on other modes, you can see them. It just doesn't display them in the normal view. I have tried copy all and paste to another document, open it in safe mode, reinstall Office, email it to other computer and open it in Word 2013, none of these works. The Word Online can show full document, but some pictures cannot display, although open it in offline, all of the pictures (in first 14 pages) can be shown.

You can see my document in here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzfbMzZB7mgyUDkyQ2x1RnllY28/edit?usp=sharing. It has lots of pictures, some equations. It is written in Vietnamese, but you can look at the format though.

Word Crashes When Imaged Moved In Unprotected Section

Posted: 25 Jun 2014 04:46 PM PDT

I have a protected Word document with some areas that are unprotected to allow users to enter free text, as well as insert photos.  The document is always protected other than the pre-defined selected sections.

I have a macro that allows the user to insert a photo and re-sizes it for them to a specified size automatically.  It works fine.  However, what I have noticed is that if you try to move the photo to a different location within the unprotected section word crashes.  I can replicate this within my document, and I replicated the problem by just creating a new blank document with two sections, one protected, and one unprotected.  You can insert an image just fine, but when you try to move it word crashes.  If you do this when the document is unprotected word does not crash.

This is a bit of a problem.  I have spent a lot of time designing this form and it works great except for this bug.  I am using Office 2013 but it also occurs in Office 2010.

Is this a known word issue?  Is there a work around that doesn't involve leaving the document unprotected.

Any help is truly appreciated.

Adding a predecessor does not change date?

You have indeed mentioned the sort of situations an SNET is designed for.
I'd prefer to use "semi-hard" constraints rather than say the dates are set
in stone. You can't begin a task until the required tools arrive so that
part is certain, BUT you could begin later if other circumstances conspire
to make it impossible to start as soon as the tools show up. A hard
constraint, Must Start On, says the task *WILL* start on that date, no if's,
and's or but's and there is absolutely nothing in the universe, no
eventuality known to man or action of anyone working on the project would
make it start otherwise. Short of acts of nature that just doesn't happen
very often.

Hi John,
I got someone to knock up the macro below and it has succeeded in enabling
me to add the custom columns in resource usage view. However, when I run it,
it only seems to populate the info on the very first line (against the
resource.) All the tasks are listed below but the rest of the fields
associated with them are empty. The tasks are also strangely listed under the
resource name column. Nearly there, so a bit frustrating! Any suggestions
appreciated.

Resource < 100%

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 03:37 PM PDT

Hi Thomas,

One can't be everything to all people...
As you say, the 100% approach works for scheduling, and it makes optimum use
of resource leveling.
I heard the remark about reporting before... a partial solution is to only
show for time registratiuon the tasks planned to start say within next
fortnight.

A customer of mine had an other solution... All "permanent" tasks were
entered with percentages
(f.i. 5% administration, 7% meeting) but then ALL other tasks (the
productive taks) were entered with an 88% load (never 25 or 6 or 49) - that
makes a lot of sense!

Greetings,

Setting unchangeable start & end project and task dates

Posted: 28 Jul 2005 02:35 PM PDT

You could remove all predecessor/successor links, set all task start dates
manually, set all tasks to Fixed Duration, and then edit the durations to
achieve the Finish Dates you want.

Voila! You have just disabled the key functionality of Project.

It might be easier just to use Excel, Visio, or PowerPoint to create such
static plans. The puspose of Project is to help you make and manage rational
project plans. If you already know that everything is going to happen
exactly according to the original plan, then you do not need a dynamic
scheduling tool such as Project.

steps to remove the GUID:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM.
2. Find the registry key with a ValueName: MessageTagBehavior
3. if the key does not exists, create it using the following values:
Value Type: DWORD key value
Value Name: MessageTagBehavior
Value data: 0
4. If the Value is set to Null or 1, the tracking number will be attached.
If the Value is 0, the GUID is not attached to outgoing e-mails.
5. Restart the MS CRM Exchange Queue Service

Removing the GUIDresults in the loss of MS CRM ability to automativally
track
the incoming e-mails!!!!?

Whats the limit of entries for picklist?

Posted: 23 Feb 2005 08:10 PM PST

There may not be a limit by design however when we had a picklist over 600
entries, some client machines got stack overflow errors.

The original post is in

We were advised by MBS and needed to apply the following to every affected
client (which was any machine that was not XP SP2)

Edit Filter Criteria in Custom View - Maximum Record = 100

Posted: 23 Feb 2005 06:07 PM PST

Thank you for replying John. I think we are talking about two different
things. So if you would bear with me, these are the steps to what I am doing:

1. Home -> Settings
2. System Customization -> Contacts
3. New View -> Contacts
4. Create a new View -> Give it a name "ABC Company"
5. Edit Filter Criteria -> Configure Criteria
6. Field (Parent Account); Condition (Equals); Value (ABC)

The system returns the window "Look Up Records" and shows a box with an
information circle and the quote "More than 100 records are available. Try
another entry if you don't find the record you are looking for."

In the "Available records" window, I can see the first 100 ABC companies. I
can select the first one and if I hold the shift button and scroll down to
the last one, I can select the last one and move all of these accounts to
"Selected Records". It is at this point that I am unable to grab the
remaining 20 records. If I run the search again, the same 100 records are
returned.

One round about solution would to create a button or drop down box with
specific branch names but I am reluctant to do so as we are extremely close
to using our maximum bytes for the contacts table.

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can I have CRM automatically check for duplicate leads or contacts

Cathy

Thank you for your response. I'm glad you were able to turn lemons into
lemonaid. Howwever, I'm not sure I understand, doesn't the system checking
for duplicates accomplish the same you are doing now only faster. What is
the advantage to doing it manually.

Thanks for your help again

the body of the emails is stored in MAILBOX.DBF in a field call RFC882

This is the raw mime -message.. you will have to parse it to get the body of the email out.

We were successful in migrating most of the content from Goldmine E-mail
activities into MS CRM 1.2, however, the body of the messages appears to be
in the DBT file not the DBF file of ContHist. Has anyone been able to find a
way to extract them from there? There does not seem to be any ID's that we
can use to locate and grab the data. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

KDC error 11 : SPN problem

Posted: 23 Feb 2005 07:17 AM PST

Ok, here is a more detailled solution :

First of all, you have to remove the duplicate SPN (in my case, it's
host/dozer.mydomain.com => the FQDN of your CRM Server).
To find which obect have this SPN, you shoul use ldp.exe on your DC
(anderson in my case) :
start/run ldp.exe

Then click Connection, and Connect...
Leave the Server empty, check that port is 389 and clear the checkboxes.
CLick Ok.
Click connection again, and Bind...
Leave all the fileds empty, and click Ok.
You should have "Authenticated as dn:'NULL'."

Now, click Browse, and Search...
Base DN : DC=mydomain,DC=com (you should replace with your domain name)
Filter : (servicePrincipalName=host/dozer.mydomain.com) (with the '(' and
')', and replace dozer.mydomain.com with the FQDN of your CRM Server).

Scope : Select Subtree

Click options : in the attributes field, add "servicePrincipalName;" at the
end (without the "").
Click Ok.
Click Ok again on the Search Window.

You should have a result like this (supposing that CRMUser is on on the
default user's OU : Users, and Dozer in on the default computer's OU :
Computers) :
Getting 2 entries : 
4> objectClass: top; person; organizationalPerson; user;
1> cn: CRMUser;
1> distinguishedName: CN=CRMUser,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com;
1> name: CRMUser;
2> servicePrincipalName: host/dozer.mydomain.com; HOST/DOZER;
1> canonicalName: domain.com/Users/CRMUser; 
5> objectClass: top; person; organizationalPerson; user; computer;
1> cn: DOZER
1> distinguishedName: CN=DOZER,CN=Computers,DC=mydomain,DC=com;
1> name: DOZER;
2> servicePrincipalName: host/dozer.mydomain.com; HOST/DOZER;
1> canonicalName: domain.com/Computers/Dozer;
------

The first Dn correspond to the User that you use to launch the CRM services.
The second Dn correspond to your CRM Server.

Now, you have to remove the SPN host/dozer.mydomain.com to your CRM User
(not the CRM Server, if you do that the Server should not be able to log in
into the domain).

To do that, you have to have the setspn utility on your DC. (if you don't
have it, you can install it from your Windows 2003 CD : directory
SUPPORT/TOOLS, you have SUPTOOLS.msi).
Now, open a command prompt, and execute this command :
setspn -D host/dozer.mydomain.com CRMUser


Okay, now the KDC error should stop.

Another problem then appears : you are not able to log in to your CRM
Website (IE gives you a 401.1 error).

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;871179 if you
want a detailled explication.

If your CRM Server just host the CRM Website, AND ONLY IF, you have to add 2
SPN to your CRM User. If not, see the Workaround section.

The 2 SPN are : http/dozer and http/dozer.mydomain.com

To add it, jsut do
setspn -a http/dozer CRMUser
and
setspn -a http/dozer.mydomain.com CRMUser

Now, you should be able to log in again to your CRM Website.

Hope this could be helpfull :)

Found a fix and am posting back in case others encounter the problem.

Never found the actual root cause of the problem, but what I did to fix it
was:
1) Logged on as administrator
2) Backed up the user's Documents and Settings folder
3) Deleted the user's Profile (My Computer > Properties > Advanced)
4) Logged back on as the user so that Windows would recreate the profile.
5) Proceeded with CRM install and all went as expected.
6) Restored user's Documents and Settings folder

This sounds like a customisation someone has added to your CRM system

This is not part of the standard CRM product 

From The Sales for Outlook client open the quote and select Mail Merge
from the Actions menu and when in Word select the Quote template. This
will generate the quote as a Word document
 

No data when offline

Hi John

Thanks for your response. I tried your suggestion but this didn't fix the
problem. However, i received a fix from partner support that did so i will
post it here to help others that may have the same.

The fix was to delete three registry keys on each of the client machines.
The keys were under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
They were: LastSyncDate, SQLServerName and UserReplicationID

After deletion i went offline using SFO again which recreates the correct
key values. I can now view all the correct data when off line.

Thanks for the suggestion. It wasn't a host header issue We had failed to
update the reverse lookup table in DNS. I believe (but am not 100% sure)
that was the problem.
