Works 8 vs 4.5a

Hi Tom,

Perhaps....

and

How to perform a mail merge in Works

Not sure if you may need converters. Perhaps check the download site
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx

I have never used Works 4.5, but understand by reading messages in this news
group, mail merge in newer version is very different. You may want to stick
with the earlier version.

xp home edition

Posted: 05 May 2005 09:10 AM PDT

Hi Derek,

Windows XP is a operating system.

Microsoft Works and Microsoft Word are programs. Neither are part of the
operating system. Whom ever you acquired your computer from provided the
Microsoft Works program.

Sending documents on the internet can be frustrating. The receiver has to
have a program capable of opening the document.

Works by default saves a document with (*.wps) extension. One has to have a
program that supports (*.wps) extension to open it.

Most if not all Word Processor programs can open a document saved in Rich
Text Format.

To solve your problem....

Open it, then click File on the menu bar, then click Save As.

In the Save As dialog popup, click the down arrow for Save as type:, select
Rich Text Format (*.rtf), give the file a name then save it to a location of
your choice.

Open your mail program and attach the above saved file, send it, the
receiver with Word will be able to open it.

Ken

Posted: 25 Apr 2005 07:35 AM PDT

Ritchie,

Sorry to steal your thunder, but i am having trouble actually posting a
question from scratch. Only seam to be able to reply to other questions
already posted. So Ritchie, i am sorry that i am not able to help you, but
maybe you or anyone else can help me.

I have recently bought a new computer, with no software as my old computer
had the software i need. Unfortunatley, i have just had a re-arrangement of
rooms etc & the box that works 2002 came in has gone missing. This is no big
deal, until i need to use word, at which point it asks for the product code,
which is on the back of the box!

So my question is, does anyone have a way around this? Is there a legal way
of getting this code from Microsoft?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Again Ritchie, sorry for crashing in on your uestion, & i hope you get the
help you need too!

Scanning in to Works 8

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 07:33 AM PDT

Aldus sprak Kenneth Milton op 18-4-2005 16:33:
 

In each new version of Works some features are removed, some introduced.
So upgrades in some respects are downgrades in other respects. I loved
version 4.5a, later versions miss features important to me: easy mail
merge, autohyphenation, easy format. In version 7 I had my own templates
in a list in the tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been made
impossible. In version 7 one could choose listview or iconview in the
tasklauncher, in version 8 this has been removed: only (monstrous) icons
now. Bugs are not corrected in newer versions. A bug in the database
filtering is in all versions: 4, 5 6, 7, and 8. I could go on like this
for a long time.

Try insert -> object and look for the word "scan". On my computer I
found "Photo editor scan" in Works 8. In Works 7 I had problems with
scanning. So I used Irfanview (freeware) to scan a photo and then
brought it in Works' wordprocessor via copy and paste.

Access to MS Project files via IE without MS Project

Posted: 21 Sep 2004 03:33 AM PDT

Your post is a bit confusing because in one breath it seems you say you only
want a viewer which would allow users to see the files, i.e. read-only
viewing, then in the next breath you say you want them to be able to modify
the files. Which is it?

If you have multiple users, some of whom need to modify files and others who
just need to view them, and you want to do all this over an intranet or the
internet, how about using Project Server? People who need to create/modify
the project files would use Project Professional and publish the result to
the Server. Uses needing only to view the data, update their own hours,
etc, would use Project Web Access.

Redundant links in MSproject?

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 05:49 PM PDT

If what you mean by redundant links is a situation where for example you
have task A as a predecessor to Task C, and Task B as a predecessor to Task
C, and A as a predecessor to Task B, then no, there is not automatic way to
eliminate the dependency.

I think that with some clever programming you could do this. You would have
to create an array of the dependencies for a task, then trace each of them
and if a task which is in the dependency list was found one or more steps
removed from the task then you would eliminate that dependency. Of course
you would have to check for any lags as well, as there might be some valid
reason for the redundancy.

Since the presence of redundant links does nothing bad other than to clutter
the file I don't see much incentive to automate the elimination of them.

One macro which I wrote can help you to filter your project so that it will
be easier to find these things.
Look at the "Trace" macro at:
http://masamiki.com/project/macros.htm
and select "all" when you are using it.
It won't eliminate anything, but will filter out certain chains of events so
that it is easier to see them.

1 Resource, 2 Tasks

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 10:53 AM PDT

David,
In MS Project, the resource leveling doesn't "contour" the work load of a
resource on a task (as some other software such as PMW did)
MS Project moves the entire task. So the resource may be under-allocated
during the 50% allocation of one of the tasks.

Amortizing material costs

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 08:11 AM PDT

Project is a WORK management tool, not a financial management tool. It
doesn't amortize costs at all, it simply tells you when you acrue them.
How, when, or even if they get paid for is none of its concern. Frankly,
the rental cost of your fencing is not really a task cost - it is instead a
fixed cost associated with the entire project. If you get down to strict
definitions, it is not a material resource at all - the fencing is neither
consumed nor incorporated into the deliverable. Bricks and mortar, OTOH,
would be a material resource since they actually become part of the
deliverable. Properly speaking, the fencing is a facilties cost, same as
rents on office space, desks for your engineers, or the pickup trucks out at
the job site. Project considers those overhead. If you want to include it
in the costs being tracked by Project, you can add it together with any
other similar costs, display the Project Summary Task (Tools, Options, View,
Project Summary), display the Cost Table and enter those global project
level costs in the fixed cost field of the top level project summary task.
Since there are often more than one line item, I'd create a budget worksheet
in Excel where they are detailed, maintained, and summed, then use an OLE
link to drop them into the cost field in Project.

Excel import

Posted: 20 Sep 2004 05:51 AM PDT

I'd recommend you flesh out a dummy project in Project with the basic
type of information that you expect to be importing from Excel, e.g.
Task Name, duration, work, work remaining, predecessors, assignments,
.... Then use the export/import wizard to export this data to an Excel
spreadsheet. Look at how it formats the data. Test this format and
your procedure by re-importing into a new Project file. Then, once you
get the hang of it and have it going properly, then populate the Excel
sheet with the data you really want to import and then just do it.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

[discuss] Equations insertion

Posted: 16 Jul 2008 05:56 AM PDT

I seem to be in the wrong discussion stream for the following idea. Does anyone know how to redirect my suggestion to somebody who may be interested ?

SUGGESTION : A major fault with MS Excel is that sometimes a SERIES is created by holding the <ctrl> button down (ie 1 to n) and dragging the cell to be copied and sometimes a series is created by NOT holding the <ctrl> button down (Monday to Sunday, Jan to Dec).

My suggestion is that CALC should have the capability to mimic Excel (as it does at the moment), or can be defaulted to create a series ONLY when the <crtl> button is held down. If <ctrl> is not held down, all cells being dragged are duplicated and not made into a series.

Keyboard Input Type not recognized by Office 2008

Interesting. I wonder if it could be due to font corruption...
That seems to be a different issue than the other Input Method bug.
 

You should launch Font Book from your applciation folder, select all
fonts (or just Arial) and use the commant to validate the fonts. It
might flag a corruption or two.
You might also want to resolve duplicate font issues (they are marked
with a black dot next to their name in the list of fonts). You
right-click (Ctrl-click) the font and reveal the fonts themselves int eh
Finder. Pretty convenient IMVHO.
 

It really looks like a font issue more than anything else.
If everything fails, you might even want to disable the different copies
of the Arial font you have and reinstall the fonts from your Office 2008

OK, we have one of the most difficult combinations there is :-)

I am going to assume that you have a corrupt document. Let's pick one of
them and try to de-corrupt it.

There are two main kinds of corruption: Internal Table, or embedded object.

Internal Table corruptions are the easiest to fix, so let's do that first.

1) Open a bad document.

2) Create a new blank document and save it in .docx format.

3) Carefully copy everything EXCEPT the very last paragraph mark in the bad
document.

4) Paste into the new document.

5) Save and quit.

Re-open the new document, and try some editing: tell me how you get on.

I can't tell from your description which kind of corruption you have (I am
not even sure that the cause IS corruption). But this operation will give
me some answers.

If Word stops crashing, then the problem was internal table corruption, and
it is now fixed.

If Word keeps crashing on the new document, we have to keep looking.

Hope this helps

Product Key Problems

How do you display email addresses as "undisclosed list".

Posted: 10 Feb 2008 05:41 AM PST

Actually, I believe that doesn't comply with the RFC :-)

I believe there must always be at least ONE address in the "To:" field, or
the email is not compliant, and some mail servers will refuse to accept it.

Many people use their OWN email address in the "To" field, which avoids
disclosing ANY of the emails in the BCC field.

Cheers

Remove Office 2004 After Office 2008 Installed

Posted: 09 Feb 2008 09:55 AM PST

Hi Peter:

Whereas I *wouldn't* :-)

Apparently it doesn't work with OS 10.5....

Many of the reviews on VersionTracker are lukewarm to negative, and some are
downright alarming. I certainly do not want an uninstaller with "stability"
problems, that has a history of wiping a user's entire Preferences folder
:-)

The Microsoft Office Remover tool does a very complete job, and it is built
to precisely uninstall the product it belongs to. It was made by the people
who installed the files in the first place. It does leave a couple of files
in place: and there's a reason it does that :-)

The problem with "uninstallers" is that unless they were made by the same
company that made the application, their operation involves substantial
amounts of guesswork. When deleting things from my system, that's one place
I do NOT want any guesswork at all involved :-)

YMMV

Hi Bill,

Sorry that the OpenOffice suggestion didn¹t work out. Sometimes running a
file through various translators can purge it of idiosyncrasies. Not always,
though.

About the best I can suggest to you is to send feedback to Microsoft that
their current offerings are just not acceptable. Explain in specific detail
the problems you are experiencing.

It would seem a virtualization product such as Parallels is the only way to
go for your situation.

Deleting Multiple Leads

Posted: 08 May 2004 10:56 AM PDT

Hello

What you also could do is using the advanced search which you can find under
the menu item TOOLS. There you can filter leads for a special value e.g.
leardsource if you specified this in the import of the 2000 leads and delete
them.
But: you only can delete the number of leads at one time which are
displayed on one page (maximum 100 entries) so you have to do this 20 times.
The number of entries on one page you can specify under TOOLS/OPTIONS.

No column headings after customisation

Posted: 08 May 2004 02:53 AM PDT

Emma,

One cause of this is that the localizations of your two CRM servers are not
the same. For example, you cannot successfully export customizations from an
(US) English localization into an International English localization. The
different localizations have different schema.

To check localization, from the CRM web client, Help > About > and see whet
URL the "for Tech support" points to. If Greatplains, then US. If
Microsoft, then International

There is no workaround!

You must manually rebuild all customizations on the correct localization

This painful experience is one I have had to endure recently

Outlook CRM No web page

Posted: 07 May 2004 10:00 AM PDT

So when you access CRM in Internet-Explorer, it "disappears", like it simply
closes? Are you absolutly sure theres no popup blockers? Theres so many
different types out there that they can hide quite easily,........for
example the google toolbar has one,....maybe you have the McAffe one? Check
Add/Remove programs to see if there are any running..........

Also remove any unecessary toolbars, especially hotbar, this can and will
effect CRM, but almost always its a pop-up blocker that makes it disappear.
Wouldn't hurt to run some anti-spyware....

As for Outlook. It disappears here too??? What does that mean exactly? Does
Outlook close completly?

No service or Sales in GoTo menu

Was this the initial run of CRM? If so, when you first logged in, you probably
didn't have a license, then you added a license to your user. The Sales &
Servie options only appear if you have an appropriate license. Using a F5
refresh probably would have brought them in as well.

Outlook Syncronisation

Posted: 06 May 2004 08:47 PM PDT

I have been asked this as well. I have a decent sized client (90 pro seats)
that is moving from SLX and one of the things they asked was if they could
not get the laptop back from the sales person or they copied the MSDE db
off the laptop could they lose all their data?

Im working with my dev guy to make a spyware type app that will 'kill' the
db's after XX days if the computer does not logon to the network. We are
looking at making this a gpo or login script. Thats the only thing I have
come up with. Im sure its circumventable but only if the sales people know
about it.

New Install, Crystal problems

Posted: 06 May 2004 08:23 AM PDT

Matt,

I found this and it solved the problem:


Document ID: 32212
Date Created: 7/31/2003
Date Last Modified: 8/8/2003 11:20:32 AM
Language: English - United States
Country: USA
Product: Microsoft CRM
Versions: 1.0
Modules: Microsoft CRM Miscellaneous, Microsoft CRM Reports, Microsoft CRM
Server Administration

Issue

Error - "Failed to register with the APS SERVERNAME. Please make sure the
APS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry." occurs in the Event
Log after a reboot of the Microsoft Customer Relationship Management Server.

Potential Cause

All the Crystal services have to register with the APS service when they
startup. If the APS is not started the other crystal services will keep
retrying to register until they successfully register with the APS.

After the reboot the APS is not starting up in time for the other Crystal
services to register with the first time they try. When they try the second
time then it is successful.

Resolution

To resolve this so the Crystal services startup and register successfully
the first time follow these steps to make a dependency on the APS service.

1. Go to Start | Programs | Crystal Enterprise | Crystal Configuration
Manager.

2. Stop all the Crystal services. (Highlight them all and choose stop)

3. Right click on the Crystal Cache Server and choose Properties.

4. Under the Dependency Tab, click Add.

5. Search for Crystal APS. When you find Crystal APS highlight it and
choose Add.

6. Then click OK.

7. Now do steps 3-6 for the rest of the Crystal services:

Crystal Event Server
Crystal Input File Repository Server
Crystal Output File Repository Server
Crystal Page Server
Crystal Report Job Server
Crystal Web Component Server

8. Now start all the services. (Highlight them all and choose Start)

Buttons for Workflows

Posted: 06 May 2004 07:57 AM PDT

Hello

You can build a web application/ web service that calls a workflow created
in through the workflow manager. Uste the CRMProcessController: Execute
Method.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/CrmSdk/htm/crmprocesscontrollerexecutemethod.asp

Then you have to link the web service to a ISV button in the mscrm.

That should solve your problem.

Hi,

I'm sure this post has already been answered a thousand times, but I can't
see any in recent times.

I, like most of you, installed the MSDN copy of CRM 1/1.2 with it's
associated licensing restriction. Of course, we used this install for all
of our data etc, and now want to use the licensing that came with the MS
action pack to set up the correct company/organization info.

If anyone has done this, or knows that it can't be done, i would be grateful
for any info.

Cheers
