Hi Margo,

Perhaps this video helps to show how such things are achieved ?

How to perform a mail merge in Works 7.0
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=832797

In Works word processor, Tools>Labels mail merge,
choose the Address Book as the data source.

Another option may be to use the Task Launcher option to create
labels using Picture It! (Photo Premium 9 in Works 8).

Reload the sheet to mail merge the text (Addresses).

Works 6.0 Problems after Installing SP2

Posted: 01 Sep 2004 07:44 AM PDT

Barry, I have read where SP2 can cause problems with a number of programs,
but haven't heard of anyone else having problems with Works. Never the less
it is not uncommon for MS to issue a patch that fixes one problem, only to
create another. Some advise waiting for MS to work out the bugs before
applying any new patch because of this. Here is a link that might give you
insight as to why you are having problems even though Works is not listed.
Hope this helps. DavidF

Rob, If I understand your question correctly, this is one of the
'improvements' of the versions since 4.5. In 4.5 you could open multiple
files under one instance of Works, while the new versions require separate
instances of Works. Don't throw away your copy of 4.5 as you may find that
generally 4.5 was the best version of Works...especially with merging from

Hi Rob,

Perhaps keep a .txt file on your Desktop, open at the start of a session
and retain on the Taskbar.

The contents of this file is the name of the file you wish to save, or part
thereof.

Copy and paste into the dialog box, amending as and when required.

Also, keystroke recorders/macro recorders can do the same thing for
you at a single key press.

Works Calendar 8 stalls on start

Posted: 30 Aug 2004 06:38 PM PDT

Hi Mike,

Perhaps replace the MsWksCal.wcd file with a fresh copy from
the Works CD, unchecking the Read-Only option, found on the
file>right/click>properties dialog box.

Before proceeding, save a copy of current file as MsWksCal.Old.

If it is possible, can you post that file to me, assuming it is not full
of private and confidential/personal appointments etc. I can then
investigate the cause of the problem for you.

Now, having saved a renamed copy of the previous file, you may
proceed as follows:


1. Insert the Works installation disc, and then press SHIFT to
prevent Setup from starting.

Note If Setup starts, exit Setup.

2. On the desktop, double-click My Computer.

3. Locate the Mswkscal.wcd file on the Works CD.

The default location of the Mswkscal.wcd file on the Works CD:

drive :\MSWorks\Common\CommApp\mswkscal.wcd

where drive is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive.

4. Select the Mswkscal.wcd file, and then press CTRL+C to copy
the file to the Clipboard.

5. Locate the file MsWksCal.wcd on your hard disk.

the default location of the MsWksCal.wcd file on the hard disk is in the
following locations:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works

NOTE: The Application Data folder is hidden by default. Go to
Tools->Folder Options->View->Show Hidden files and folders

6. When you have located the Mswkscal.wcd file on your hard disk, select
the file, and then press CTRL+V to replace the file with the version
that you copied from the Works CD-ROM.

Note When you are prompted with the question, "Are sure that you want
to over-write the file", click Yes.

7. Make sure that the new version of Mswkscal.wcd is not read-only: Use
Windows Explorer to locate the file, right-click it, click Properties,
and then clear the Read-only check box.

Restart Calendar.

CD's not reading

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 06:35 PM PDT

I think you're saying it reads other disks, but not the CD
for O2k and Office 97. Is that correct?

Will it read other MS application CDs? Publisher, whatever
else you might have?

What are the disks it won't read? Are they Application CDs
like 97? Or are they music, games, etc.?

If it's only 2 original (or copied original?) CDs it won't
read, then those CDs might indeed have problems that a good
cleaning might help. It's even worth trying to have someone
else's machine try to read them - sometimes it'll work so
they could be copied for you.
Check Google for how to clean CDs if you don't know how:
eg , never wipe along the write path, always wipe from the
inside to the outside, soft lintfree, detergents that can be
used, etc.. I've been able to recover a couple of
surprisingly scratched up CDs that way. If they're archival
copies, with printed adhesive labels, it's possible the
disks are beyond use due to chemical problems with some
adhesives that are used on the labels. Learned that the
hard way too! Info on that can be found at langa.com, other
places I can't think of now.

SP2 or SP3?

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 11:30 AM PDT

Hi Doreen,

Well, far as experience goes, I've had no problems with
either. Donwloaded SP2 shortly after it came out, and SP3 a
few weeks ago, not sure of the exact date but fairly
recently. At least in this location, one on XP Pro, the
other on XP Home, networked, I've seen no problems and a few
times identified (due to info found on ng's) things that it
seemed to have improved. There are a few improvements in
both of them, some added menu items here & there, pretty
simple but generally useful stuff. Most of the work in them
is behind the scenes, of course, so there isn't a lot of
obvious changes.
I do not game, but I do manage web sites, do video
editing for the public (ceremonies, etc), and write a fair
number of technical papers and reports both freelance and
government apps. So, there could be problems I wouldn't
have seen in other areas, so that's for what it's worth
info. SP3 does seem to have a decent rep though, and is
in general mundane to the casual user. The only apps I
haven t' used much since SP3 are Access and PowerPoint.

I'm still curious why you would want to have SP2 instead
of SP3 though, but that's your own business, not mine <g>.
I believe in the SP3 simply becuase it has more "fixes" in
it beyond what was in 2. Normaly what I do with things like
that is take note when it's released, whether there was a
beta or not, and then read the horror stories etc. that
occur which are attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the new
package. You have to keep in mind when you're reading the
horror stories that happy people don't write in - just the
unhappy, and as often as not, the perceived problem caused
by the pack is off base or they just have a gripe to air,
etc.. But when similar threads about similar problems start
to pile up, you can generally believe them and make your own
judgement whether to donwload it now or wait and hope for a
fix to the fix to be issued, which does happen on occasion.
At the moment I cannot think of anything in either that
would have an SP as a source.

Office 2003 renames "My Documents" to username's Documents, why?

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 05:02 PM PDT

I'm afraid I don't know why your exclusion isn't working.

The "show folder owner's name" feature is introduced by Windows. The hidden
"Desktop.ini" file in the user's "My Documents" folder contains an Owner=
key which sets the display name.

So, if you make the line:

Owner=Pickles

And you then look at the parent folder in Explorer, you'll see a folder
named "Pickles's documents". Sorta silly.

See

BAR CHART FROM COMMAND LINE

Posted: 25 Oct 2006 06:23 PM PDT

Hi All,

I am new to OpenOffice and was trying to create a bar chart with input
as '.csv' file. I have a perl script which gets the data and creates a
..csv file as below:

YES,NO,UNKNOWN
Monday,10,20,5
Tuesday,20,30,15
Wednesday,30,20,40

i also used system command : system ("oocalc test.csv"); to start open
office calc with table.

I would like to know of some ways of updating the perl script such that
when i execute perl script, open office calc is opened with the bar
graph. Can some body please give me some ideas on how it can be
implemented. Or is there any other way of automating the generation of
bar chart from csv files.

Thanks a lot for your time.

OOo 1.1.5 can calculate Easter correctly for the Gegorian Calender

The formula for calculating Passover, using the rule set for
Rabbinical Judaism is relatively simple. {Once you get the monads
correct.] Calculating Passover using either the Karaite Rule set or
Samaritan Rule set is going to be, at best, a rough guestimate.

There are two different rule sets for calculating when Ramadan occurs.
Only one of them can be reduced to a formula that will work in OOo.
[There is no known formula that can have the visible new moon sighted,
before the astronomical new moon occurs. Yet that is what the rule
set used by a very influential Muslim country permits.]

It would be time consuming, but fairly simple to write a macro for
each of the rule sets for Easter, Passover, and the rest of the
religious Holy Days that change dates every year.
[Do one macro for each rule set, for each event, or one macro per
event, with the user having to select which rule set to use.]

[discuss] dates are never autoformatted correctly

Peter, the default option for OOo is the issue. It takes the system

It would be nice to have the option to set a default format in the Tools 

Just checking out, there is no way to set the date in the Default Style,
at least in the version of OOo that I am using. At least in Writer.

Nor do I see a way of setting individual default settings in Calc when I
just tried. I ended up screwing up my spreadsheet as changing the
default date changed a lot of data that were not formatted as dates.

I believe that this is already a bug report or enhancement request.

Pointing the Sales for Outlook Client at different MSCRM servers

Posted: 26 Feb 2004 05:04 PM PST

There *are* some registry settings, but I never tried playing with them....
look at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSCRM - there were two entries that pointed
to our CRM server. I would imagine you might be able to change it to point
to another CRM server, but the other guy is right - you probably will have
some funky "issues" relating to the MSDE replication... but you might also
be able to setup the publication on the other CRM server to publish to your
local MSDE.... who knows.

Martin,

The most reliable solution to this is to use a Post-callout. They're
not the easiest to get setup, but they are the most reliable for this
type of processing.

Another option would be to hack the Javascript on the form, but this
would be unsupported and might not get you what you want.

CRM 1.2 Install, Windows 2003 and Security Service

Posted: 26 Feb 2004 04:35 AM PST

Hi Brian,

that service actually comes with the CRM setup, so it's strange you receive
that message during the installation.

The need for unregistering this service indicates that it is already
present on your machine, maybe from an older, failed CRM setup.
You can try to unregister that service before starting the setup.

If this does not resolve the issue, further troubleshooting would require
analysis of setup logs and event logs which should not be done throgh a
newsgroup. In this case, please contact support, open a new incident and
reference this post.

Crystal Error when not logged in as Administrator

Posted: 26 Feb 2004 01:43 AM PST

Hi Benjamin,

All services are running fine. At least, there seems to be no error, they have all the green arrow symbol.
Also, after restarting all services, there is no change in behaviour.

Something else is strange: Administrator (with security role "System Administrator") can run the reports views from another machine than the CRM server only when the reports view was run once after restart on the crm machine.

After navigating to the Reports view once on the server, Administrator can see the reports from any server. Before, he gets the same error as the other users.

Greetings, Martin

Hi Martin,

Could you check the following? and tell me what occurs?

1. On the Microsoft CRM server open the Crystal Configuration Manager by navigating to Start | Programs | Crystal Enterprise | Crystal Configuration Manager.

2. Make sure all 8 services are running. If they are running click on the Enable/Disable Servers button in the menu bar of the Crystal Configuration Manger.

Activity view customisation

Hi Paul, try:
http://crm/tools/viewEditor/viewManager.aspx?id={00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001903}

(crm should be your root crm url)

This will work for the standard activities view. You can't customize the

before and can help you with it. Email me if you need additional info.

I know I saw a thread from a while ago of someone else experiencing this -
anyone know of what to do? When I right-click, choose Properties, and go to
the Home Page tab, I see the URL as something like this:

When I telnet to localhost 2525, I get no response.

SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 side by side migration including CRM ?

Posted: 25 Feb 2004 11:12 AM PST

Gary,

Glad to hear you got at least part of the answer. Here's what I'd
recommend though since CRM can be pretty finicky and I am extremely
cautious when it comes to things like this.

1) Make sure you have complete backups of everything. (I know that
sounds obvious, but it's critical here).

2) If you aren't already on MSCRM v1.2, the upgrade to that and make
sure everything is working on the old server before moving on. Then,
repeat your backups. You need to upgrade CRM since v1.0 won't work
properly on SBS2003.

At this point, I think you have a few options for how to proceed. I'm
not sure which one would be best, so I'll outline both options. The
key to this is I'm not sure how well the SBS side-by-side migration
will hande MSCRM. I'm guessing that it won't actually migrate CRM and
the you will need to re-install CRM after the migration. With
SBS2003, this may actually be a better option since it doesn't get
installed on the base web site like it did with SBS2000.

Option 1)
3) Uninstall MSCRM from SBS. Make sure you only uninstall the
software and do not drop the DP's or remove the Org Units from AD.
4) Do the SBS migration and verify it's working.
5) Install MSCRM on SBS making sure you shoose to use the existing
databases on the SBS server.

This will allow you to put MSCRM on a secondary web site as the IG
instructs. Depending on how the migration works, you may not need to
uninstall MSCRM in step 3. I just think it makes it cleaner and it
will allow SBS to do it's thing seperate from MSCRM.

Option 2)
3) Do the SBS migration.
4) Verify that MSCRM is working properly.

This option seems like it would be the easiest, but I don't know if
I'd trust it. Especially with the differences in how MSCRM supports
SBS2000 and SBS2003.

Now, of course, if MBS comes back with something different, you might
want to go that route. I'm just laying out how I'd approach it in the
absence of an MBS supported procedure.

Hi Matt,
I got my answer (took two calls and counting), sort of. The SBS folks

still
trying to get back with MBS support to finish this up and get the

CRM 1.2 How do you install sample data

Posted: 25 Feb 2004 08:21 AM PST

When you enter the company info -- you have to enter the sample company name
rather than your registered company name. I was disappointed to discover
that it is not possible to run the sample data alongside a production set of
data -- it's an either-or situation. They would require two separate
installations and CRM Servers.

How to pause a macro to insert text?

Sub ZipCode()

stop prompt box

Picture control

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 04:04 PM PST

Word 2010 I inserted a Picture content control in a text box to make my form look nicer and also to be able to insert the picture control  anywhere on the form. The picture content control works if I don't protect the form. But if I protect the form allowing only "the form can be filled", the picture control becomes unusable, I guess it locks along with the text box? I had a workshop for college faculty and staff and this happened which was unexpected. My textbook says it can be done. Is there a way to get around it?

Cut few items from numbered list and preserve the original numbers

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 11:14 AM PST

I have many long numbered lists such as,

01. item 1
02. item 2
03. item 3
04. item 4
05. item 5
06. item 6
07. item 7
.
.

Suppose, I select bold items by feature "Select all text with similar formatting (No data)" and cut-paste them to another document, the numbering changes in the main document and looks as follows:

01. item 1
02. item 2
03. item 4
04. item 7
.
.
(Which I don't want, because I want to preserve the original numbers for those items)

And as for another document where I pasted the cut items, the numbering there starts from 01. which again, doesn't preserve my original numbers

Is there any way to do the such cut-paste and keep the original numbers throughout the documents?

Word template prints error message and populates words wrong

Posted: 28 Feb 2013 10:39 AM PST

Hello.  We created a .dotx word template for reports that will populate such things as he or she for each report and it works great.  When you view the document on screen everything appears as it should, however, when you go to print the document it shows an error message at the top of each page and changes some of the populated text to other selections.  For example, if we had he throughout the document it would change to she when it prints.  Any ideas on what could be causing this?

We are able to select ctl-shift-f9 tor remove all of the formatting and that takes care of the problem but I'm hoping we can fix it to avoid that step for every report.

Find/Replace not "finding" certain paragraph marks (or tabs) in Word document

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 02:19 PM PST

This involves a project that was part of the underlying subject of another discussion on the forum about repeating a macro, but because this involves a different technical issue, I thought it would be appropriate to start a new thread. 

I have a document containing downloaded data that I'm trying to reformat into a table.  Doing that requires inserting some delimiters and "cleaning out" some "trash".  As I received the information, it included what appear to be additional "paragraph marks" that I wanted to remove.  I used Find/Replace to look for ^p^p and replace that with ^p.  It returned "not found."  Apparently, Find/Replace will change those paragraph marks individually to Tabs without any problem, but when I then try to replace ^t^t with ^t, again I get "not found." 

It's acting like there's something "between" these so that Find doesn't see them as "pairs", but I have "Show all formatting marks" set to ON and cannot see any spaces (or anything else) between these pairs (either when as paragraph marks or as tabs).  The only thing I can think of is that the information that follows these pairs consistently has hyperlinks, so I thought that might be causing Find/Replace not to "find" these pairs.  But, if that's the case, how could Find "see" all of these individually? 

I couldn't figure out how to make Find/Replace look for hyperlinks that may be affecting part of these pairs. 

I've already posted a piece of the document at http://sdrv.ms/13AfJVA (examples of the culprits are at ~lines 13 & 14, and elsewhere throughout the document).  If someone could take a look at it and tell me what's going on and why I can't get Find/Replace to get rid of these excess paragraph marks, I'd appreciate it.

Also, is there a reference somewhere that identifies what conditions make things "invisible" to Find/Replace?
