On HP's support page under Win7 there should be a utility to uninstall
printer software and drivers. I had to use that to remove it from my
machines. Read and follow the directions, it has to run 4 times in order to
get everything.

Right-click on the Shutdown button and pick Properties. From the drop-down

Converting avi files

Hi Trev,
It's not a codec problem, since the avi file plays on his computer.
Instead, it's a file conversion problem. During the conversion from
the avi container to the DVD-compliant Mpeg2 format, the audio needs
to be changed to something like AC3 or PCM. AC3 is universally
supported by standalone DVD players and is a compact (size-wise) audio
format, so I recommend that one. The file converter should have taken
care of this automatically, but I'm guessing an option was missed
somewhere prior to starting the conversion.

keyboard shortcut for an app?

Yes, so I discovered. The option is available from the shortcut

Notebook2 ver 4.0.23 from www.flos-freeware.ch/

it is not an available option from the exe's own properties screen.
That is what threw me.

Now I added the shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + N) but for some reason this will
still not open the app. Not sure why. (Have not rebooted yet, maybe it
needs that).

Given the ratio of Windows v Linux users, it makes sense that many more
Windows boxes would be infected. And--IMO--the vast majority of those
infections are due to "careless administrators"--end users who really don't
have much of a clue about PC security.

Word Count in Columns in Word 2013 tables

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 01:34 PM PDT

I need to get the word count for a specific column in a table. Have tried highlighting/selecting the column and going to word count, but I always get the total amount of words in the whole document. Selecting the column for word count used to work in Word 2007. The only way I get a different number is to select a few words in a cell.

Thanks!

Unable to save Word files larger than 32MB

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 01:16 PM PDT

I have the home version of MS Word that came on my laptop and have two very large documents, a manual and technical training course material, that will not save when they got over 32MB - with no warning that they would not be saved.  In the past I have always used the Office version at work in which I know I have created documents that are 60MB to 80MB which were all several hundred pages each.  Why is there a limitation of the home version of MS Word and what is the limit of the version I use that a corporation get a license to use?  Is there a limitation of the corporate version, and what is it if there is?  It's infuriating to put a lot of work into a document to find out that it won't save the document - or any changes past a certain point.  So far I have had to split the manual and the training course into two documents, but that's not very helpful because of the numbering on the graphics that are in there (the home version will not allow you to start numbering graphics at anything but 1, and that's a problem with the second part of the material, I don't want the graphics starting with number 1, they need to be somewhere around 56.)  What's the real deal between these two versions of Word?

Expand/Collapse Rows of a Table for a dynamic Table of Contents

I have a very long table of contents and would like to be able to collapse all of the sections and expand them as the user needs to. I would like to create an activeX toggle button for each section. I used the following code, but I do not know how to get it to collapse/expand multiple rows at one time (for example, rows 2 through 7). Any help?

How to change fonts?

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 11:18 AM PDT

How can I stop Word from adopting the fonts that are different every time I try to do something with it? Not to change the font but to stop Word from adopting the font.

Is there a way I can highlight a text in all caps and turn it into small letters?

Philosophically-how can things be so advanced and we cannot see these annoying features go away? Oh sure, how great is Microsoft until you see It takes more time from your life because it now takes longer to do stuff all under the auspices I cannot find anything on my computer despite never having this problem-ever. If I could not find it-this means it is no longer there.

Reference Check Boxes in a Formula

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 10:41 AM PDT

I am creating Word documents to use in an office setting so that my employees can fill out certain areas of the form which would then calculate costs and other job related numbers. I am looking to reference a check box in a formula, but am unsure if it is possible to do so. If it is, how does Word represent the status of the check box? I.e. 1/0, true/false, etc. Further, is it possible to then assign the check box a bookmark and reference the status of the check box in a conditional statement such as =NOT(x) or =AND(x)?

Thank you in advance!

Table Cell Word Macro

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 10:24 AM PDT

I am currently having a problem with a macro that I have. I do not want the macro to apply to the header rows (2) of them in my tables. The macro that I have is: 

 Dim t As Table
    Dim c As Cell
    Dim s As String
    Dim i As Integer

        ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False           'disable change tracking since it causes pasting problems

        For Each t In ActiveDocument.Tables             'loop through all tables in the document
            For Each c In t.Range.Cells
                s = c.Range                             'grab the text from the cell
                s = Left(s, Len(s) - 2)                 'remove cell spacing and formatting to get just the text

                If (s = "") Then   'check for empty cell
                    c.Borders(wdBorderTop).LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
                End If
            Next c
        Next t

The macro does exactly what I want. The only problem is that it does not exclude the header rows. 

Thank you in advance for any help.

In Word 2013, how can I get the text effects that used to exist?

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 09:52 AM PDT

In Word 2013, does anyone know how to get the non-printing text effects that Word used to have?  For example, there was a blinking background, marching red ants, marching black ants, Las Vegas lights, shimmer, and sparkle text.

I have tried the following (for the blinking background effect), but it does not seem to work any more since upgrading from Word 2010: 

Selection.Font.Animation = wdAnimationBlinkingBackground

Does anyone know how to get these effects in Word 2013--they were so helpful to alert me to changes that needed to be made in a document (e.g., a syllabus) from one year to the next without having anything show up in the printed document.

How to create a filter in Mail Merge?

I would like to create a label that I would like to behave in the following manner.

If the data base has info in a field called Received_By return that value and use in the mail merge field.

If the data base has info in a field called Prepared_By return that value and use in the mail merge field instead.

The system will be using an XML file from the database.

Simple Question on Headers and Footers

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 09:02 AM PDT

This is probably a very easy fix, but have been having problems with it.  I have created a document with a header and the header continues to go onto a second page, even though there is no need for a second page. How do I delete that header on the second page so I can have a one page document?  I have edited the header and deleted it, but then it deletes the header on page one too.  Thanks!

Form Fields in Word 2013 Doubling Results

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 07:18 AM PDT

Hello, 

I am attempting to create a word document with form fields that will allow the workers in my office to fill in the form and have pricing and other numbers calculate automatically. I have created the document with the fields and have added formulas to those fields that need them. However, when the formula fields calculate the numbers end up being doubled. I am using bookmarks in these formulas to reference other parts of the document (fields that were manually filled in as well as some fields that have formulas in them as well).

My guess is that by using those bookmarks in formulas, I am referencing the result from the bookmarked field as well as the formula entered in that bookmarked field, so that is why I am getting results that are doubled. Can this be confirmed? Or is there another problem I might be having that I am unaware of?

Thanks

Copying from Excel to Word

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 07:10 AM PDT

When I copy and paste a range from Excel to Word, I have to be careful.  If the Excel range is too wide, it disappears off the right side of the Word document, and (working in Word) I am unable to get at the right side to pull it onto the document.  So far, I've gotten around it by first making the columns very narrow in Escel before I copy to Word.  

There has to be a better way to get at that right-hand border of the table in Word after the cells have been copied from Excel.  Any suggestions on how to do that?

Where to find Alphabet Quote text box?

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 06:37 AM PDT

I'm hoping somebody can help me with this!

I have just bought the latest version of Office and am required to use and Alphabet Quote text box for an assignment (drawing my own custom text box will not be good enough unfortunately).

I cannot find it listed under the text box styles and there is apparently nobody else with the Windows version of Office that has had this issue because I can't find any help online.

Does anybody know where I might be able to find it? This is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have just read a little further in my assignment and I am also required to use the text box types Conservative Quote and Puzzle Quote, neither of which appear on the list of available types either!

VBA Word Footers - Enabling a Border

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 05:45 AM PDT

The following code extract successfully writes a new footer to a Word document:

        For Each oFooter In oSec.Footers
            If oFooter.Exists Then
                Set rngFooter = oFooter.Range
                With rngFooter
                    With .ParagraphFormat.TabStops

                        .Add CentimetersToPoints(posAlignTabCentre), wdAlignTabCenter
                        .Add CentimetersToPoints(posAlignTabRight), wdAlignTabRight
                    End With
                    .Font.Name = "Arial"
                    .Font.Size = "10"
                    .Font.Color = wdColorDarkBlue
                    .Text = strTitle & vbTab & strVersion & vbTab & "Page "
                    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    .Fields.Add rngFooter, wdFieldPage, , False
                    .Start = oFooter.Range.End
                    .Text = " of "
                    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    .Fields.Add rngFooter, wdFieldNumPages, , False
                    .Start = oFooter.Range.End
                    .Text = vbCr & vbCr & strCopyright & vbTab & vbTab & strClassification
                    .Borders.Enable = True
                End With
            End If
        Next oFooter

The footer is presented as shown below. Each row in the 'table' has a border.

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

|  strTitle                               strVersion                             Page x of y      |

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

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

|  strCopyright                                                              strClassification  |

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

I wish to change this to show the border around the 3 'cells' in the first row only.

I have attempted to illustrate this below

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

|  strTitle                |               strVersion                 |            Page x of y    |

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

                                                                                                             

  strCopyright                                                              strClassification  

I need to change .Borders.Enable = True

How can I achieve this?

Office won't close properly

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 04:51 AM PDT

Whenever I use word or excel, it will open and run properly, but as soon as I go to close the document it lags, and says program not responding.  I will have to tell it to either quit, restart, or wait for it to respond.  When it does open again, it gives me files I saved before closing like it closed due to an error rather than me closing the program out.  I have checked for any updates and do not need any, and I have a current antivirus software installed.  Any advice??  The only thing I can think of is uninstalling and re-installing, but don't want to do this unless I have to.

MailMerge autocorrects the field name

Posted: 28 Jul 2014 03:06 AM PDT

Hello,
I am changing the template of an already-existing mail merge document by adding a new field called «Free_item».
My Excel recipient list will not always contain the field «Free_item». In this case, when I mail merge, Word automatically detects that this field is missing and it corrects it to the closest field name, for instance «Height».

What can I do to prevent the auto-correction?
Many thanks in advance,

Strange X server behaviour after installing new nvidia driver

OK - I now am a step further. As I said, it worked 2 days immediately after

I updated sax2 via YaSt on Sunday. Went off the system and yesterday i
crashed.

I analysed the xorg.conf and found three dangerous lines there.

load "glx" which I need

Option Protocol "Standard" and
Option Protocol "exploreps/2"

Which caused the problem. Now I commented out the Load "glx"
and it worked again!

Then I took the commment out of the load directive, I changed "Standard" to
"standard" and "exploreps/2" to "ExplorePS/2" and guess what? X server
starts but the screen is a complete mess.

I then commented out "Load" directive again and all worked fine.

Soo - without "glx" the "Options" work with either small and/or big letters.
with "glx" only "standard" and "ExplorePS/2" work, but screen is white,
nothing to see, no cursor, some scrambled unstructured black lines.

What else could YaSt and sax2 mess up? - BTW: nvidia 3D cannot be switched
on.

sax2 -m 0:nvidia

will cause sax2 to write a new xorg.conf file and I am back on square one!

That's what I like with Linux, once you sorted out one problem (sound in my
case) you immediately are facing a new challenge! ;-))

Identical servers + kernel configs -> different initrds?

Posted: 09 Sep 2006 09:31 PM PDT

OtisUsenet wrote: 

No.

But if the two servers have different hardware (especially hard drive
controllers) and the drivers to support that hardware are compiled as
modules (not into the kernel), then the contents of the initrds will be
different.

That's what you've got, plus lvm on one and not the other. lvm is a
software thing, but it's still an initrd difference.

FWIW if additional drivers are compiled into the kernel, then the kernel
gets bigger. Either way, additional binary content does compress
(initrd or vmlinuz), but not as much as something with a lot of entropy,
like text, for example.

I have received mixed answers on the "supported" issue with load balancing.
However, from what I understand, the "official" answer is it's supported from
the CRM side, but they aren't going to help you configure the farm. The key is
getting high enough up the support chain.

I know that there can be some issues with getting Crystal to work properly in a
farm, though it can be done.

If performance is the concern (vs. reliability), than I think they are better
off in just making sure both the SQL Server & the IIS/CRM server are good
machines. 320 users isn't that big, unless they have a huge amount of data per
user. I think there's a good chance they will be OK with the 2 server install
if the boxes are sized well.

Hi all,

I have a very critical customer, who is aware of the fact that CRM 1.2 is
over its limit in is environment.

Shortly described as:
- 320 users
- a lot of changes with security roles
- CRM Server and SQL Server on one machine.

In the short term, the customer has been convinced that he has two split up
CRM and SQL Server on two separate boxes. In the long term he thinks about
the possibility in having CRM / IIS splitted up by Windows / Network
Loadbalancing.

It's not supported and the customer knows it as well.

But has anyone done this so far and can provide me a technical risk
estimation, what might not run, etc.?
Thank your for your help,

Web client

I would try two things first: flush dns and register dns from the command
prompt.
(Start>Run, type cmd, type ipconfig /flsuhdns, press Enter, then type
ipconfig /registerdns, Enter). If this doesn't fix it, try running MS
Anti-Spyware and scanning the machines. I've seen this with a number of
clients who get spyware on their machines and their browsers won't resolve
intranet addresses.

Good luck

adding a schema into CRM

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 05:12 PM PST

Actually, it depends on the fields being added. If you have already added about
10 fields and each was a string of length 50, then you are extremely close to
the limit on the Contact table. Each 50 character string field will take up 100
bytes of the 8k limit as the product ships with close to 7k already used on that
table.

There are limits on the schema fields added. These are, if memory
serves correctly which it probably doesn't, that the total length of
the attributes for fields in a table can not exceed 8192 bytes,
ie SQL only allows 8k to describe the fields for a table.

In practice you are unlikely to reach this limit after adding only 10
fields.

The error reporting in CRM seems to be hidden. The real error messages
are put into the event viewer, the error messages you see when running
deployment manager are generally useless. We have also found the
deployment manager to be unreliable it is prone to fail when creating
schema and to not only fail but to not indicate what items have
failed. If at all possible it is be better to keep any customised
data in tables and databases separate from CRM, then you can access
this directly through SQL, have control of the data and correct it if
necessary.

CRM Professional Edition 1.2

Posted: 10 Mar 2005 02:15 PM PST

Sorry for the confusion. My bad. My original question was about CRM,
because BCM wouldn't work if Outlook was connected to an Exchange mailbox.
Midway, I found an update to BCM that solved the problem.

CRM is a whole different animal, obviously, and seems to require a very
careful installation plan.

This is correct, one of my customer's had this requirement, and tested both
the dedicated sub-domain model and the dedicated Exchange server model.
Neither work.

Although they didn't take this any further, I suspect you need to send all
messages to an SMTP relay (Windows Server has an SMTP relay service as part
of IIS), which can then bounce back any mail for @mymaildomain.com.

CRM 1.2 SDK / Retrieving contacts

Posted: 09 Mar 2005 11:20 AM PST

Hello Frank

Wonder if you might want to bypass fetchxml entirely and query the
contactbase table directly. While accessing the crm databases directly is
not supported you are able to read the databases directly.

Might help if we could understand what you want to do with the contacts once
you have them

Error in Knowlegebase Search

Posted: 09 Mar 2005 06:54 AM PST

Hi,
thanks for your reply.

I think that this is a bug in SQL-Server. Because the error is returned from
the SQL-Server fulltext search.
For example if i type vi* it works.

I don't know if ther is a way to get this fixed...
But in CRM there is no way I think.

Marc

Server unwilling to process your request

Posted: 09 Mar 2005 06:05 AM PST

Hi~

This may be an issue where the user you are trying to move is the manager
for other users within the current business unit. To resolve this error
remove the Microsoft CRM user's alias as Manager from other Microsoft CRM
user(s). I have included the below steps to do this.

1. Open the Microsoft CRM web client, click Home, click Settings.

2. Within Settings click Business Unit Settings, click Users.

3. Within the User's window click the View drop down menu and select All
Users.

4. Holding down the Ctrl key select each user that is listed as having the
user to be moved as their Manager.

5. Click Actions and then select Change Manager.

6. The Change Manager window will appear. Click the magnifying glass icon
and then click the Go button.

7. Select the new Manager that is in the same or parent Business Unit for
these users.

8. Click OK. Click OK again to confirm the changes.

9. Attempt to move the Microsoft CRM user to a new Business Unit.

10. If the user is still not able to be moved, restart the Microsoft CRM
Security Service, located on the Microsoft CRM server. You should be able
to move the user to the new Business Unit.

If you continue to receive the error, please refer to the items listed
below:

A. Try removing this user's role and license, then move them to a new
business unit.

B. Please verify this user is not currently logged into Microsoft CRM when
trying to move them.

C. Another possible cause is that the MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT
services were running under a Domain account. Or CRM Server was not added
to the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access group.

go offline and problems with contacts

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 11:51 PM PST

If you have CRM admin rights all contacts from CRM will be synced down to
your Outlook folder. The only way to get around this is either select the
option for contacts not to sync to Outlook or put your user account into a
different role where all contacts will not sync. Do not make the security
role change to the default CRM admin role though. Always copy that role and
make the change to the newly copied role.

Customisation CRM 1.2

Posted: 08 Mar 2005 11:25 PM PST

You have 2 options

1. Create a windows service. Use a timer and monitor the database fo
new emails that come into the QueueItemBase table in the cr
database. (check the CreatedOn or ModifiedOn fields for the info).
Cross reference the ObjectId in the QueueItemBase with the ActivityI
in the ActivityBase table.
Generate an email response and send it off.... (I know sounds ver
simple). :wink:

2. Alternatively you can purchase a c360 component that does it fo
you (including converting the email to a case and attaching the emai
to the case) http://c360.com. We are a company with over 100 cr
users, so the small costs for each license unfortunately adds up t
too much for us (cheaper to develop in house....) :(

I hope this helps
