Dropdown Content Control = display name vs. value

Posted: 18 Jan 2013 05:22 AM PST

When adding items to the list in a Dropdown Content Control, Word offers a Display Name field and a Value field. I don't see where it ever uses the latter. Is is only intended to be accessed from VBA?

Formatting checkbox content control

Posted: 18 Jan 2013 04:53 AM PST

I know how to change the symbols Word 2010 assigns to the checked/unchecked states of the Checkbox content control, and it's nice that we can pick literally anything for these. But one symbol seems to be missing from the choices -- the appearance of the old (2003) ActiveX checkbox, with the sleek raised look and the illusion of a sturdy border. My boss is in love with these things, and I kind of agree. Screenshot here.

 

I don't see this symbol anywhere. Has is it been deliberately made unavailable so that nobody will mistake an old ActiveX control for a new Content Control? Am I just not looking in the right spot? Wingdings 254 comes close, but not close enough. If the ActiveX's weren't so finicky I'd just keep using them, but they don't play nice.

Can't check out/in a SharePoint 2010 document after installing Office 2013

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 02:34 PM PST

After installing Office 2013 I can't check out/in a document from our SharePoint document library.  Well technically SharePoint tells me the document was successfully checked out but when I go to look for it under my SharePoint Drafts folder it's not there.  I searched my entire hard drive to see if it put it somewhere else but it didn't.

 

I had seen an issue similar in previous versions of office and the solution was to go to File > options > save and verify that I was saving checked-out filed to: 'the server drafts location on this computer'

 

My Server drafts location: C:\users\username\Documents\SharePoint Drafts\

 

This isn't working in Office 2013. 

 

Here's what I'm running:

 

Office 2013 x64

Windows 7 SP1 x64

IE 9

McAfee Antivirus/EPO

 

Any Ideas?

set outside the printable area

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 08:24 PM PST

With a template I have been given to use, when I print a document I get the message 'The page borders of section <N> are set outside the printable area of the page', once for every section of the document. Paper type is set correctly.

 

This happens even when I totally remove all content from the body, header and footer of a single-page document and use the Normal built-in margins (I can *see* the margins are in the right place).  Even when I print to OneNote instead of to a real printer. Even when I delete all the styles I can from the template.

 

There is nothing left in my document, so what could be causing the problem? The document prints correctly but I need to get rid of those error messages as my readers can't be expected to wade through 15 error messages when they print.

 

Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Bill.

Endnotes change orientation after filling the page.

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 07:15 AM PST

I have an endnotes section with the title 'References' followed by a section break so that my endnotes sit below the title.  I then have another section break after which I have set the page orientation set to landscape so that I can insert tables.  This was fine until my references reached the bottom of the first page at which point they spilled over onto a second page which is orientated in landscape.

 

Is there a way to have two or more pages of portrait orientated end notes followed by a new section of landscaped tables (without having to insert a blank page of portrait in between).

 

Thanks.

Mail merge labels only shows first line

I have gone through all the steps, and even though the full name and address (three lines) display at the "insert address block" step under "preview". when I go to "Preview your labels," only the first line (the name) gets inserted into each label in the document.  I have tried this in Word 2007 on one computer and Word 2010 on another (both XP) with the same frustrating result.

Microsoft Word - Terminology for Table of Contents with links to sections

Terminology for Table of Contents with links to sections

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 08:41 AM PST

Sorry but I forget what this is called. I have a 68-page document, and the first page has a table of contents (I think this is the terminology) that allows me to click on an item (on that first page), and then it takes me directly to that section. The sections titles in my document that are linked to in that TOC are all formatted as Heading 1. 

I'm trying to add a new item to that TOC, but I can't seem to be able to do it, or to be find the info online. Is what I have, in fact, a TOC? Or is it something else? And also, how do I add an additional section to this TOC, allowing me to click on the link, that takes me straight to that section in the document?

Using Word 2010 but can't open documents unless I click on "open with" giveing no option for Word 2010?

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 07:40 PM PST

I am using Word 2010 on a Vista computer. I was working on a document created in Word 2007 (or earlier?) All my documents now have a different look to them whenever I open any of my files. I cannot open any of them by double clicking. I must click on "open in" but the 2 options are open in Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Bootsrapper or Microsoft Office Work Word Processor.  There is no open for Word 2010.

 

When I finally manage to open a document I open the file and check the compatibily mode have had tried some suggestions relating to that in other posts. How can I reverse whatever I did to get me into this mess? I also got a message about the possibility of corrupt files but following recommended steps down that path didn't work either.

 

I desperately need to be able to get down to some productive work! Thanks.

Restore lost pre-2007 menu shortcut key

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 03:28 PM PST

Messed up here. I mistakenly bound the keyboard shortcuts ALT+E to a macro (intended for CTRL+ALT+E). But I still use the ALT+E shortcut for a few things that used to be on the 2003 Edit menu, so I've tried to unbind it.... but I can't!  Trying:

 

CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate

FindKey(KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyAlt, wdKeyE)).Clear

 

But still nothing happens with ALT+E. The others work (ALT+V for View, etc.) How do I get this back?

 

Thanks for clues.

Fillable forms in diagrams

I am attempting to create a fillable form in Word 2010 inside a diagram. I have created text boxes and have placed text from the Controls area in Design Mode inside the boxes.

Will Design Mode allow for creating this type of fillable diagram?

How do I get a non blank template to load on startup?

How to remove word add-ins?

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 05:26 AM PST

Using Microsoft Word Professional 2010 on Windows 7 Ultimate service pack 1.

 

On the Add-Ins Tab I get 3 groups, the last one is from an Add in I'm working on at VS but the first 2 I need to remove. The tool tip of the button of one of the add ins I'm trying to remove shows DocSmartzToolBar : TrialDocSmartz Import PDF.


 

 

In word I tried: Developer|Com Add-Ins. But there only shows mine, 2 unchecked from OneNote and the visual studio tool for office.


 

Then, with show hidden files option went to …/Program Files (86x)/MicrosoftOffice/Office14/STARTUP but it is empty (maybe shouldn't be).

 

Back in word: File|Options|Add-In. Several files, including mine but none that looks as it could be one of those I'm trying to delete plus no action I can take on those shown there.

 

Then tried:  Developer|Add-Ins. Nothing there.

 

Ran word as administrator, retried everything, no changes.

 

Went to control panel | uninstall or change program. Pretty sure had previously uninstalled those since I'm in the habit of doing so with anything I install and then find no use for it. Sure enough couldn't fine anything DocSmartz related.

Create new Database and Configure Synchronization

Posted: 10 Feb 2004 02:10 PM PST

Thank you, Matt.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the way to set up replication to
bring down information of Competitor/Partners to the MSDE is to make
the <Organization-Name>_MSCRM database the Publisher and create a new
database with the appropriate tables I need, and the MSDE as the
Subscriber, with matching database schema as the Publisher. And then
use the wizard to set up a Pull Subscription.... is that the way to do
it?
Why can't I set up the replication such that the date is synched back
to the <Organization-Name>_MSCRM database system?

Thanks a lot :)

Exchange Disaster Recover

Posted: 10 Jun 2004 05:43 PM PDT

Hi, I read your post and I am currently creating an Exchange DR procedure

You may be able to use your companies desire for Exchange DR as a driving force to support an upgrade to Exchange 2003

Exchange 2000/2003 has many features for DR, and I am implementing them all in to my plan depending on the sitauation. One thing that came to mind while reading your post is a Dial-Tone scenario. I'm not that experienced with Exchange 5.5, but wondered to myself if you could "workaround" something similar

Basically in the Dial-Tone scenario, you set up a similar Exchange server (in AD you would have an Alternate Forest) separate from your production network. Then (if facing database corruption) you would basically blow-away the corrupt production database and create a new blank database. This will allow your users to send/receive mail messages and get them back up and running quickly

Then on the secondary Exchange server you would do your resotre and/or repair on your database. Once you get the original database back on to the secondary server you can connect to the mailboxes using ExMerge (or similar) and move the data back into production. (Or to save time you can just swap the restored database back into production and put the dial-tone database on to the secondary server to save time with the data transfer)

There are many other improvements in the DR arena in Exchange 2003 as well. I would try to lobby for getting an upgrade to your systems

Hope this helps

Public folders - prevent duplicates, disallow forwarding to

Posted: 04 Jun 2004 08:42 AM PDT

Tom,

The question that your reply raised for me is as follows. That comparison
must create a lot of overhead processing. I was thinking that checking the
subject vs. every other subject in the public folder is pretty processor
intensive if it is a heavily used folder.

Would there be a means of identifying duplicates by message id? And would
that be a lower overhead implementation?

Regarding the one month thing for the scope of the project. I was factoring
in the need to come up to speed on the programming exchange / outlook
techniques.

How to add text & page number to footer via macro

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 06:06 AM PST

Hi.
I need to remove existing footers from a batch of documents in a folder structure and add a new identifier (text) and page numbering. 

I have a macro in Excel to run through all files and folders at a given level and return all file names to a spreadsheet.  The macro then runs through each file, opens the Word document, writes a footer, saves and closes the file before repeating the process for the next one.

My problem lies in that if I try to add text, eg "My Footer" and page numbering, the page number overwrites the footer text.  I assume this is possible and it is my VBA naivety that is the issue.  I have added my code below so someone can point out where I've made a mistake.

Hoping someone can help...

CC

Code:
Sub Open_Word_Document(footerText As String)

Dim ObjWord As Word.Application
Dim myDoc As Word.Document
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim testFileName As Variant
Dim testFileNameExt As String
Dim n As Variant
Dim oSec As Word.Section
Dim oFoot As Word.HeaderFooter

Set ObjWord = New Word.Application
     ObjWord.Application.Visible = True

With ActiveSheet
    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
   
For n = 1 To LastRow
    'if name doesn't end doc then skip
    testFileNameExt = Right$(Cells(n, 1), 3)
    Cells(n, 2).Value = testFileNameExt

    If testFileNameExt = "doc" Then
     testFileName = Cells(n, 1).Value
     Set myDoc = ObjWord.Documents.Open(testFileName)
           With myDoc        
        For Each oSec In ObjWord.ActiveDocument.Sections
            For Each oFoot In oSec.Footers
                If oFoot.Exists Then
                    oFoot.Range.Delete
                    oFoot.Range.Text = footerText & vbTab
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
                    oFoot.Range.Fields.Add Range:=oFoot.Range, Type:=wdFieldPage
                    oFoot.Range.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
                    oFoot.Range.Move unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1 
                End If
            Next oFoot
        Next oSec

VBA: How to make Customize Keyboard dialog 'land' at the New Shortcut Key box

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 01:29 AM PST

I'd like to have a QAT button (macro) that opens the Cutomize Keyboard dialog with the cursor already in the Press New Shortcut Key box. In prior versions this sort of thing used to work:

 

   SendKeys "%n"

   Dialogs(wdDialogToolsCustomizeKeyboard).Show

 

But it doesn't now. I've also tried sending {tab 3} but no joy. I'm not that well-versed in manipulating dialogs programmatically and can't seem to find much documentation on it either. Any clues?

 

Strangely, it works just fine if I run it from the VBE, and in my universe that's normally that's where SendKeys fails most spectacularly.

word 2010 not displaying properly when opening how do I set it back to original settings

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 09:54 PM PST

When I open word 2010 the page does not display properly. I cannot change any settings to get it to open to a full screen. Word opens to a page in the center of the screen and about half a page.

Macro for formatting heading styles

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 06:10 PM PST

I'm working with a template that uses character styles for bold and italics. I need a macro that finds all instances of bold or italics that were applied as direct formatting (ie Ctrl+I, Ctrl+B) and replaces them with the correct character style. However, simply searching for bold or italic font and replacing it with the style also changes the formatting in all the headings that are bold or italic (although they retain their paragraph styles). So after I've changed the bold and italics to character styles, I need a way to find all instances of Heading 1, Heading 2 etc, clear the character style formatting and reapply the correct heading paragraph style. Or, a way of applying the character styles for bold and italics everywhere EXCEPT headings. I need to do this across the entire document.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Whole document changes color

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 01:41 PM PST

This can apply to other formatting as well. When I highlight, say, a word or sentence and click on a new color, the whole document changes color as well but reverts back to coloring the selection I made after pressing Ctrl-Z (Undo).

 

How do I stop this behaviour?

 

I am using Word 2003.

Recovering an Automatically Deleted File that Word Put in a Temp Directory

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 11:15 AM PST

I simply can not believe MS Word did this to me. Please help.

A client sent me a zip file. I put it in the proper directory. I opened it and modified it (extensively) and saved it as a new file. I did not notice that Word had decided to PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT -- and TEMPORARY -- DIRECTORY. Ugh!! It was C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp, I think. Then I guess it decided that a couple of days had passed and deleted it. It was less than a week ago that I last worked on it.

So, I...
- Searched my entire hard drive for one of the words in the file name...nothing (or at least nothing useful)
- Checked the recycle bin...nothing
- Checked "recent files" in Word...nothing
- Went to C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp and looked. There were 1,000+ garbagey-named files (CVR474C.tmp.cvr and whatnot)...and nothing useful

Help!! :(

Hi June,

First, copy the files to the hard disc, they will be safer there.

Do either of these apply to the issues that you are facing ?

Worksuite 2000 vs WinXP

Posted: 27 Jul 2004 06:32 PM PDT

Thanks, Kevin for the input. I must explain further. I am not looking for
one of my files. I am looking for items that used to be listed under the
Microsoft Task Launcher (under either "tasks" or "programs") I am looking
for the boilerplates that used to appear for many styles of letterhead or
the grocery lists boilerplate, for instance. These items used to appear on
the Works program when I pulled it up. Now there are several different
items listed but not some of the original ones I want to use again. When I
rec'd my new computer in April, it was already loaded with Windows XP. I
had the Worksuite 2000 disk from my old computer which was loaded with Win98
so I put the disk in and loaded it. I am the only user so the rights
shouldn't be a problem. I just don't understand why when the Works Task
Launcher listed the items when I had it on my old computer using Win98, but
now when loading it on to this computer with XP, some of the old items are
gone. Maybe I should ask if there is someplace else I should look for the
letterhead boilerplates? Is it just the fact that Works 2000 is now
interfacing with XP? It seems like it must be. This is a small issue and I
could re-create the items myself on Word but the mystery is bugging me.
Thanks for any further comments.

Translation problems using Word 2002

Posted: 26 Jul 2004 09:55 AM PDT

Hi Mac,

A French version of Word uses French language dialog, I do not
believe that this can be changed without acquiring an English version
of Word.

A Translation facility for Word 2002 can be downloaded from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=97ad9b81-af52-4e26-9a9c-c9babb4a2afd&DisplayLang=en

A keyboard /input language can be switched using the shortcut key

<Left Alt> + <SHIFT>
