Microsoft Word - Bullets and numbering within a Word 2013 form

Microsoft Word - Bullets and numbering within a Word 2013 form

Bullets and numbering within a Word 2013 form

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 02:24 PM PDT

How do I place bullets in a form on Word 2013?  I'm designing a form that is a syllabus where faculty will include information such as a list of prerequisites and objectives for the course. 

For the prerequisites, I'd like to have it automatically bullet each new line in the list.  For the objectives, I'd like it to automatically number each objective.

In addition, I created a table within the form where professors will list the day, the topic and the reading.  I'd like for them to be able to eliminate rows that are not needed.  However, if they do enter data into a row, it needs to be in the format that I have inserted  I can't figure out how to do that under the restrict editing function.

Thank you.

Do various print drivers effect display and print of documents in Word?

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 02:17 PM PDT

We have multiple users on Office Word products.  While I've standardize on one printer for all new purchases, we have many different printer still in the field.  Do print drivers and printers effect how pages display and get laid out? 

I would think that if the document uses "Times New Roman 10" that every printer would print the document the same way.  But I've read that it does not and that in a large document, lines may move to a prior or next page.

Is this true?  How can large companies have everyone on the same printer so this is not an issue?

Some footnotes missing from cross-reference list

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 01:42 PM PDT

Using Word 2010 in Windows 7 I have a document that is 35,000 words with almost 500 footnotes.  I'm in the final stages of editing and need to insert a cross refernce to an earlier footnote.  When the cross-reference dialogue box opens there are some footnotes missing from the list but which do appear in the appropriate place in the document.  I've updated the table of contents, saved the document, checked the box to update references before printing but nothing works.  The cross reference list still jumps from footnote 27 to footnote 31 and omits notes 28, 29, and 30 from the cross reference list even though they do appear in the document.  Any help would be appreciated.

How do I have multiple styles in a figure caption

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:59 AM PDT

I want my figures to be formatted as follows: Figure 1: Figure description here. I can set the figure caption style under the style menu but I have to pick either bold or not it won't let me do both. I also want to cross-reference my figures in the text but when I do it puts the reference as bold but I want it to follow the 'normal' style of my document. How do I fix these issues? I realize you can make these changes manually but I am about to start writing a several hundred page document....

Word 2010 -- Page numbering across sections.

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:51 AM PDT

In Brief:  I need two sets of folios on every page: "Page x of y" in the "Header area" for each "Section", then "Sequential Document Page x" in the "Footer area".  I'm using the "Quick Parts" field item "page" to lay down the "x" value.

The Problem:  Since the count value of "page" gets reset at section boundaries I can't accomplish the "Sequential Document Page x".

The Question: Is there another value; or a way of calculating the value of the sequential page folio, that can be used in the "Header/Footer" areas?

Word 2010/2013 TOC font is inconsistent

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:13 AM PDT

Hi,all, I have a Word doc that has a number of headings using 'Numbering'. The headings have 3 'Outline level', i.e., Level 1-3. Now I created a TOC automatically ('Build table of contents from: Outline levels' was ticked), but I found that the fonts of headings are inconsistent, some have 'Times New Roman', while the others use 'Calibri'. I checked the styles used for 'TOC1-3' in 'Table of Contents' dialog box, 'Calibri' is as shown. So I am wondering what's going on with the entry styles in the TOC.

ps. the doc was initially created on Word 2007.

Copy from Excel to Word changes font, layout, adds borders, changes Excel Sheet when copied into Word

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:51 AM PDT

This problem has been going on for a while but got worse with the latest MS-Tuesday update.

I have 30 people all creating various parts of documents some creating Excel Spread Sheets others creating the Word Document, others printing off the final document.

Sometimes when an Excel Sheet is copied into the MS-Word document the "grid" characteristics in the Word Document will change from what was in the Original Spreadsheet.  I have not been able to discern a pattern.  Sometimes borders will be added to the grid when none was in the spreadsheet.  Sometimes the characters copied from the MS-Excel document will look very different in the MS-Word Document after it is copied.

These changes sometimes do not manifest themselves until the "printing" staff send the document off to their printer, this causes the document to be rejected the "standards people" and it needs to be rebuilt by the MS-Word staff.

This has gotten very frustrating for staff, and management and has cause countless hours of redoing reports and reprinting.

I've seen no consistent pattern.  Some people creating the MS-Word document can copy and paste 10 or 12 different spreadsheets before they encounter an issue.  some never have the issue, others are "always" having the issue.  All of the spread sheets are first built as copies from a root/base Excel Document, with only the data (not the formulas) changing.  The same is true of the MS-Word documents.  They all start from a root/base MS-Word Document and only the text is updating and the "Copy and Paste" is performed.

I don't know where to start looking for areas to change the work flow, or how each step is executed.  I would love to blame it on "user error" but everyone was schooled on doing the work the same way so I except that it is probably "mostly consistent" across the department, AND most likely exactly the same for each individual (yet it happens sometime but not all the time)

Does anyone have any thoughts?  What governs the way a copy and paste from Excel to Word is executed?  What things outside of Word/Excel could be messing with the copy/paste?

Thanks

Installed font is 'invisible' in Word

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:16 AM PDT

Hi,

I have recently download a new OTF font (Puritan) on to my laptop (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and I am able to select it in Word (2010) and WordPad, however when I begin to type the character spaces are blank.

It appears fine in Excel.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the font from a variety of websites and I do not believe the font to be corrupted especially as this font has been downloaded by so many people.

Does anyone have any ideas/advice?

Thanks.

Equation editor font size

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:14 AM PDT

When I type an in-line equation (with words on the same line as the equation) using 2010 Word Equation Editor, the font size gets reduced automatically, especially if the equation contains fractions (such as (x+1)/(x-2). I do not want to go with the linear option. How to avoid changing font size automatically?

2007 Word document prints with blue rectanles

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 10:08 AM PDT

I have 2007 Office student edition and just completed a HUGE project with Word.  Upon trying to print it...i chose to print one page just in case.  I  have printed said page 8 times now and it keeps printing mysterious blue rectangles down the center of the document.  My computer is running Windows Vista. 

All the margins, paper size, etc...are set to the default.  8 1/2x11, margins set at 1" all around, paper set to print profile as is printer.

The printer is brand new and the ink is full.  I thought it was a printer issue at first so I had room mate print color from her computer and it printed fine...no mysterious blue rectangles.

So now I feel like it is something to do with my document.  I sure hope someone has an idea about this because I refuse to redo a 342 page document!  I welcome any ideas and thank you in advance!!  

Oh one more thing...i do have pictures that i have inserted into the document...maybe they are the culprit? 

Microsoft Word 2010 Hiding/Removing the Navigation Pane for Roaming Profiles

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 09:06 AM PDT

Hello all,

   I am attempting to do what the title says.  We are using Citrix Profile Manager...basically roaming profiles and when updating the Office version to 2010,  Users are displayed the Navigation Pane.  If the NavPane is closed, when they reopen their Citrix session it is back to default displaying the NavPane.  Any help on getting this removed would be greatly appreciated.

I have so far attempted to create a macro Normal.dotm and works partially, however it is not consistent as each time it appears that the modified Normal.dotm becomes overwritten with a default one.  I have also added this modified Normal.dotm to the Default user profile locally on the server...to which it does not seem to pull.

How to stop capitalization check on "new year"

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:34 AM PDT

How do I prevent Word 2010 from flagging every use of "new year" as a capitalization grammar error? Writing in a business environment, I frequently need to refer to comparisions between old year and new year results, reports, etc., but Word assumes that "new year" can only refer to the holiday and flags it as a capitalization error for "New Year". I don't want to turn off the capitalization check completely, but can't find any way to remove only this item from wherever the capitalization reference list is stored.

Email Merge with Quick Parts Database

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:30 AM PDT

Hello,

I have a weekly task of supplying our vendors with a list of line items that requires their attention and I am trying to send it out via an email merge. I am using the quick parts database function to create the list and it seems to work well. It pulls the data from my spreadsheet and lists it correctly based on vendor name but the problem I can't seem to figure out is how to consolidate the emails so that only one goes out per vendor. When I complete the merge and do the preview or edit phase it will create a document with the list of items for that vendor but it will repeat the document for as many times as there are line items in the list. For example; Comapny ABC has 5 line items, the result will be 5 documents with the list of all 5 items on each document.

Is it how my database is set up or is it in the code? What am I doing wrong or does this task require something else to manage it?

Here is what my database looks like but I can't seem to copy and paste the code without it putting it into the list format. Please help.

There was a problem sending the command to the program - Microsoft 2013 applications

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 07:24 AM PDT

All 2013 Microsoft applications are not starting.   I tried the solution below, but it didn't work:

Delete the Word Data registry key Most of the frequently used options in Word are stored in the Word Data registry key. A common troubleshooting step is to delete the Word Data registry key. The next time that you start Word, Word rebuilds the Word Data registry key by using the default settings. 

To view these options in Word 2002 or Word 2003, click Options on the Tools menu.

To view these options in Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.

Note When you delete the Word Data registry key, Word resets several options to their default settings. One such option is the "most recently used file" list on the File menu. Additionally, Word resets many settings that you customize in the Options dialog box. 

To delete the Word Data registry key, follow these steps:

  1. Exit all Office programs.
  2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  3. Locate the following registry subkey, as appropriate for the version of Word that you are running:
    • Word 2002:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft \Office\10.0\Word\Data
    • Word 2003:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Office\11.0\Word\Data
    • Word 2007:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Office\12.0\Word\Data
    • Word 2010:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Data
  4. Click Data, and then click Export on the File menu.
  5. Name the file Wddata.reg, and then save the file to the desktop.
  6. Click Delete on the Edit menu, and then click Yes.
  7. Exit Registry Editor.
  8. Start Word.

Now that message doesn't appear anymore, but the applications don't start.   

I am getting very frustrated, because you buy a software that stop working....

Thanks.    Rgds.   Giba.

Word Cutting off table contents

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:48 AM PDT

Good Day

I don't know why, but it seems that Word is cutting off my text in my table. Yes, I did set the row height to be exactly 0,3cm. I want it to be exactly that height. In yellow I've highlighted the cells that I have the problem with. In red, I've highlighted a cell where this seems to have worked. I didn't create this table from scratch, I used a template that we have floating around. Now my question is, how come the red one works, but I can't get it to work?

How do I hide the "Document map" that shows when I open a Word 2003 document?

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:41 AM PDT

I use Microsoft WORD 2003 and Windows 7.  Last week, I was experimenting with changing the "View" on a document.  Since then, every time I open a document, it opens with the "Document Map" showing in a separate pane on the left side of the screen.

I do not want to see the "Document Map" when I open a document.  How can I force WORD to stop showing the "Document Map" when I open a document?  I will appreciate help.

I cannot activate MS 365 at all.

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:35 AM PDT

The message is There is a temporary problem with the server please try again later.  Many tries to correct and cant.  Need help urgently.  Thanks Dr Dimond

Drop-down menus and forms

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 04:57 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a list of about 100 paragraphs, and I would like to use this list to generate word documents containing, say, 5 or 10 of these paragraphs, depending on what I want to say.  I originally saved the list as an excel spreadsheet, hoping to create some sort of drop-down menu which I would then use via mail-merge to populate a word document, but it's too complicated for me.  So my question is, is there a way of keeping these paragraphs as a list in Word, then using it to populate some sort of template?  At the moment I am going back and forth cutting and pasting from the list into the word document, but I need something more streamlined.

I haven't been able to find an answer on the MS Office Help.

I am looking for something similar to Comments feature in Excel.

Making a Custom Ribbon Available in a Global Template

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 04:03 AM PDT

I have developed a global template for general users that includes specific styles and some macros.  I assigned hotkeys to the macros and added buttons to the ribbon but when I access the macro template on a different machine, the Customized Ribbon is not there.  The hotkeys do function.  I'm guessing the customized ribbon is stored in my Normal.docx and not the global template.  Can someon tell me how I can get this customized ribbon to show up for any one that uses the global template?

Microsoft 365 crashes every time I open a document (word / excel)

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 03:47 AM PDT

Hi there

My partner recently purchased Microsoft Office 365 and has shared his subscription with me. 

I accepted and installed, apparently with no problems. However, whenever I open a document, or start with a blank document, the application crashes. Every time.

I first get a pop-up with the message:

"Microsoft Word has stopped working.

Windows is checking for a solution to the problem"

Soon followed by another saying, rather unhelpfully:

"Microsoft Word has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

This happens whether I double click a document to open it or first open either Word or Excel and try to open a document from within it. It also happens if I open a new document.

I had thought that the problem may be that I did not uninstall a previous version of Office (2003), so I uninstalled both that and 365 (using the Microsoft Fixit tools), then reinstalled 365, but I get the same problems.

I'd be grateful for any other advice please... otherwise I'll just reinstall Office 2003!

Cannot delete file is in use

Posted: 20 Aug 2014 02:59 AM PDT

I am running the £80 per annum version of Word for iPad on my iPad Air.  I can delete redundant files from the 'Recent' screen but they are still there in the 'Open' screen and when I try to get rid of them I get the message 'cannot delete file the file is currently in use'.  Sometimes the files in the 'Recent' screen induce the same message when I try to delete them.  This is really annoying as I deal with a couple of dozen Word file per week at least and do need to delete them.  Some of these files are confidential, moreover. The list of files in the 'Open' screen is now vast so it's effortful to find anything I do want again - which I tend to save in Dropbox anyway given the unsatisfactory performance of this program.  Not what you expect for £80 per annum Microsoft!!!  And it would be nice to be able to locate a contact number so I can get help from a dedicated member of your staff - much simpler than having to create posts and expect other users to solve your problems, which are now mine!!!

I have seen the post about switching 'Clear All Documents' on in the Settings menu for Word (Reset Word).  I have followed the instructions about four times, and it does not work  It says it is clearing the cache when I open Word, but all the files I have tried to delete are still there and remain undeletable when I try again.  Furthermore, 'Clear All Documents' does not appear to be able to stay switched on between episodes of using Word.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks! Ann M

How do I do a simple maths calculation like the area of a circle...A=pi r^2

I'm just stunned that I cant get it to do such a simple calculation...what am I missing???? the on-line help does not show you how to actually evaluate an expression, I cant find a single tutorial that shows this, they are all obsessed with drawing pretty graphs

Hope someone can help

Getting Office Back After Restore

Microsoft Word 2013 display deteriorates in Print Layout view on a Windows 8.1 notebook

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:37 PM PDT

I just upgraded Office 2010 to Office 2013 on my Windows 8.1 notebook, and Word 2013 is doing something I've never seen before.  I prefer to work in Print Layout view.  After I've been working with a document for awhile, or more readily if I open multiple .docx files, the entire Word window starts to get glitchy.  Random lines and characters appear in the document area, as if the document has been corrupted (it hasn't).  Some lines of text in the document go missing, or else are duplicated.  Word tables are totally scrambled.  Then parts of the Word window outside of the document area begin to randomly deteriorate.  Icons on the Quick Access Toolbar disappear or become corrupted in appearance.  Areas on the Ribbon do the same thing.  The commands on the action bar disappear.  If I mouse over any of these decrepit areas, they are restored, except for the document area, which just gets worse and worse.

Switching to Read Mode view or Draft view immediately clears up the entire Word window, after which I can switch back to the Print Layout view and everything will be OK for at least a little while.  Then the problems start up again.

Note that this behavior has not occurred with Excel 2013 or Powerpoint 2013 or Outlook 2013, only Word 2013, and only on my Windows 8.1 notebook.  Word 2013 is operating normally on my Windows 7 desktop system.

Also note that when this happens, all other programs running on my Windows 8.1 notebook are unaffected.  The issue is specific to Word 2013.

My system is up to date, with no pending updates available.

Any assistance appreciated.

Converting Simpliified Chinese to Traditional Chinese and vice versa

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 08:31 PM PDT

Hi, all. I have a problem in converting Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese under Word 2010. 

I used to be able to convert it without any problem until I set up the system again after replacing my hard disc. From then, I cannot identify the button allowing Chinese language conversion.

My system is Windows 7, office 2010. I bought this software in retail shop, which is a traditional Chinese version. I downloaded the Microsoft Office Profiling Tools 2010 SP1, it does not solve the problem. I also tried to work on dll according to the online support of Microsoft, an error message relating to tcscconv.dll appeared. I cannot work without this function and need your support.

Your kind guidance and help will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Opening Word 2013 doc opens linked files

There was a similar question four years ago that was never answered.

I expect them to be accessed if I OK updating the links, but I expect that to happen in the background without opening obvious Excel windows. Is there any way stop Word opening these linked documents?

Microsoft Word takes 10 seconds to paste plaintext

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 06:57 PM PDT

I have a newly bought computer running Windows 8, and freshly installed Office 2013. 

Whenever I try to copy and paste text, it takes extremely long to Paste. I'm talking about 10 seconds to paste ONE word. 

This problem does not persist in Powerpoint 2013. I can copy multiple paragraphs and PASTE them INSTANTLY. I can copy slides and paste them instantly.

Copy and Paste work instantly in Google Chrome as well.

It only happens when I am using Word. It takes a long time to Paste between multiple documents. It takes a long time to Paste into the same document I copy from.

Problem persists in safe mode of Word.

When I talk to Tech Support, they are dumb as a post. Any help appreciated.

Can't select vertical block of text in Word 2013.

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 03:58 PM PDT

I have Word 2010 and Word 2013 on the same computer, and have never had a problem with the operation of either program till now. 

I can use "Alt + left click  + drag" to select a vertical block of text in Word 2010. But I can't do so in Word 2013.  I used the same wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, and verified this six different ways.  I know I need to select more than one column. In Word 2013, it looks like I the program is tring to select horizontal lines.  Horizontal lines become highlighted and not highlighted at a very rapid rate.  

I don't own a wired keyboard or mouse. If I am able to obtain them, I will try that as a possible solution.

Viewing Overallocations

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 05:20 PM PDT

Hi Andrew,

I assume you are not using Project Server (which is what Dale assumes) so
here is the "native" approach.

The simplest solution is (from a task view) to go to Window, Split
Click on the lower pane
In the View Bar select Resource Sheet

Now you no longer have the need to switch windows, they are both there!
And when you allocate a resource, and it gets overallocated, it immediately
turns red in the lower pane.

You can have the indication in the task view itself but that would resuire
some VBA programming.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your response.

Do you have any suggestion of what to use in place?

The problem is that many of the task will be in a project for product
development, however, some of the required tasks are pretty small.

% Complete not Rolling Up to Summary Task

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 08:51 AM PDT

Calculate is set to "automatic". I initially only entered % complete in the
"% Physical Complete" column. Then I went back and entered % complete for
each task in the "Task Information - General" tab, in the % complete box. I
thought this would correct the problem but it did not.

Any ideas?

Bonjour Helen,

La réponse à votre question se trouve dans l'affichage Utilisation des
Tâches plutôt que Utilisation de ressources!
In English, you need the Task Usage view rather than the resource usage
view; It gives you resource on each tak and a total by task.

Majid,
Something has apparently happened to Global file if you only have 3 of
the default filters. Here are a couple of things to try. First, go to
Help/Detect and Repair.

If that doesn't restore the filters, you can trash your active Global
and Project will create a new one, hopefully with all the default stuff.
Before trashing your existing Global however, you need to use the
Organizer to transfer any custom views, reports, modules, etc. to a
temporary file so they can be restored once the new default Global is
generated.

If neither of the above works then the only other option I know of is to
re-install Project.

Hope this helps.

Unsupported, but you can export your customizations to XML. Then add

It worked for us in an extreme case, but for only ~ 100, you should
probably just do it manually and avoid "coloring outside the lines"

Mail Merge in browser

Posted: 06 Apr 2005 05:03 AM PDT

CRM only ships with merge functionality in the SFO client. There are a variety
of reasons, but security is probably the biggest. Performing a merge process
requires automation with Word. This could result in a lot of security warnings
to the user which would not be desireable. Plus, many companies have locked
down poilcies which would revent this from working.

There are some mail merge add-ons available for CRM. It is also possible to
develop one yourself if you have the skills.

Is there a way I can use the mail merge function in the browser (and the

Adding the same information to multiple contacts

Posted: 05 Apr 2005 07:29 AM PDT

Dear "Matt",

c360 can do batch updates like this (and so will CRM 2.0.) You can
also create a rule that creates an activity (send letter activity,
e.g.) and then apply that rule to multiple people. (You can select
multiple people in an advanced find (or lead, or contact, etc.) grid
(hold down the control key to select multiple), and can then take an
Action (such as send email, or Apply Rule, such as "Send Letter A"...)

But I'd like to politely suggest that you may want to look at your
process. The attendance (of invited but did not attend) sounds more
like a recurring event rather than an attribute of a contact. If so,
then you are better off to NOT create a specific field on the Contact
entity to record their attendance.

If your goal is to send two different letters (one for the attendees,
one for those who missed it), then I just (a) create the two letter
templates (b) find the contact(s) to send them to in CRM, and (c) send
them the appropriate letter. Your activity history will then record
the fact that you sent them (which) letter.

If you create a custom field on each contact, you still have to somehow
search to find, and then update, each contact - that is an extra step
rather than just sending them the letter as you come across their name
in the grid...

I'd be particularly careful of adding custom fields to the contact
entity (especially if you are doing this for each event), because you
could run out of room (the 8000 SQL row limit is about 1000 bytes away
from the default installation.)

HTH,

Dave

Integrating MS CRM with Commerce Server

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 01:17 PM PDT

If you plan on using Products in the CRM Quote/Order within CRM, then CRM needs
to have the products in it's product catalog. Without this, then it will be
difficult to use these objects. You could try using write-in products, but that
would make certain reporting tasks more difficult.

CRM out of the box does not support the customer specific product restrictions
you mention. However, I doubt you would expose the CRM UI to the customer due
to cost (each customer would require a license), so that may not be as big an
issue.

If the Orders will be entered via a different vehicle and then copied into CRM,
then the job is a little easier as it will be an integration process that loads
the order.

One of our goals is to ensure that customer orders can be managed and linked
to the products in the catalog (kinda obvious I guess). Also, we have
requirements that dictate what products or product variants a customer can

experience would have to let them select a P.O. to have their purchase
invoiced to, for example.

Not knowing much about MS CRM, I'm guessing we would want to manage the
quote/contract/order from within the CRM product, but have it be integrated
to the product catalog in commerce server.

Are you saying the catalog has to be exported from commerce server to CRM ?

CRM mobile over GPRS

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 10:13 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes, I am planning to sync over GPRS. However, I was going to recommend to
the client not to try and sync whilst in motion (i.e train , car etc.) due
to the possibility of signal drop out. This will prevent 80% of signal
drop outs, however, we have no control over the airtime provider pulling the
plug for maintenance.

In the event of data corruption, is it a simple case of re-syncing? or would
I need to restore the last mobile CRM backup on the PDA and then re-sync?

Kind Regards

Mike

Workflow Manager Adaptations or Workarounds

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 07:19 PM PDT

Dear Geek,

I always advise my clients to structure your workflow rules in layers,
to keep them very simple, and to make modifying them easy.

For example, I would create one manual workflow rule that has no
conditions, and one action: assign the object to a certain user.
(This, then, is the only rule you have to change if there is a new
person that comes into the same territory.)

This manual rule can be called in an action whenever the condition that
would cause you to assign something to that person is met. (E.g.,
State = "TX", action: Exec: manual: Assign to TX rep...)

That way, your rules can stay pretty static (except for changing that
one rule that assigns the object to the new sales person).

I do the same thing for the definition of territories. For example, I
have one rule for each territory. If a state changes from one
territory to another, I have to make that change in two workflow rules,
but then nothing else has to change.

So, bottom line - the structure might look like this:

Create Lead Rule:
Actions: Exec DetermineSalesTerritory

DetermineSalesTerritory:
Exec TestWesternRegion
Exec: TestEasternRegion
etc.

TestWesternRegion
IF lead.state = 'WA'
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

IF lead.state = 'OR'
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

If lead.state = 'ID"
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

etc.

And then of course:
AssignLeadtoWestern
Action:
Assign Object: SalesGeek

Extending Grid Results in Personal Settings

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 07:01 PM PDT

So, you're saying you made an unsupported change to the form to modify the
values ??? haven't tried this one yet, but I don't know if it works (as you've
seen).

Check the UserSettings table to see if it's storing the proper new value. It's
possible there is an edit on the backend that is defaulting the value even
though you are posting what you want. The edit is probably defaulting what it
considers an "invalid" value and putting it back to 25.

I know I have been sucessfult in manually updating this value in the table and
having it work, but obviously the change won't stick if changes are made again
via the form.
