Word can't handle links that contain "#"

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Paste http://www.washington.edu/students/crscat/#JSIS into a new Word 2013 document.

Ctrl + click that link.

It doesn't work.

 

Now paste it into IE.  It works.

 

Is there a way to get it to work in Word 2013?

 

I have Windows 7 and IE 10.

Controlling Image Width Using DPI in Word 2010

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:51 PM PDT

Word does not seem to respect the DPI property of screen shot images I create in my graphics program (SnagIt). In other programs, such as Adobe FrameMaker and MadCap Flare, I can decide ahead of time what size I want my images to be by setting the DPI in SnagIt. Then, when I import them, they appear with the width that corresponds to this basic formula: DPI = Pixels / Desired Width.

For instance, if I have an image that is 400 pixels wide, and I need it to appear as a 2 inch wide image in my document, I can set the DPI to 200 in my graphics software (200DPI = 400pixels/2").

In Word, the "100%" option under  Size and Position > Scale > Width seems to be 96 DPI. Is there a way I can get Word to simply use the DPI of the image so it displays at the width I'd expect, following the formula of DPI = Pixels / (Desired Width in Inches)?

document access problems-"location unavailable"

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:30 PM PDT

I have tried opening documents stored in 'My Documents' or 'Documents' from my desktop. I get the error message: "C:\Users\my name\Documents refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network., etc." I've tried the suggestions offered  and all checks out. The end of the message says "If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to another location." I did not adjust anything, move anything, and find this most frustrating. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Envelopes don't print correctly

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 11:35 AM PDT

Using Word 2007 and Vista Professional and HP Printer. #10 Envelopes won't print the return address or send to address in the correct position. They print as if on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper in landscape mode with the send to address in the middle of the page and the return address in the upper left corner. Have checked and re-checked all settings but can't seem to fix. Has to be something simple as has worked fine in the past. Printing from a new Word doc and not saving the envelope to the document.

Mail merge only produces one page of labels

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 08:04 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2007 with an Excel spreadsheet to aggregate some 6-up Avery labels.

When I go to Finish & Merge > Edit Individual Documents, and choose All Records, I only get the first page of labels in file named Labels11 (or whatever the latest iteration of my attempt is).

If I repeat the exercise and choose, instead of All Records, records 2-41, I still get only 1 page of labels; these include records 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and 38.

How can I get the entire body of labels on multiple sheets?

Can I make hyperlinks portable?

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:33 AM PDT

I created a Word 2010 document with hyperlinks to references (PDFs) within the text.  I want to make this portable, so the hyperlinks work on whatever computer I (or our clients) use.  I have the Word document and the PDFs saved in the same folder.  I saved the folder on a jump drive, but when I plugged it in to a laptop, I needed to change each hyperlink in order for it to work.  Changing the hyperlink base didn't work.  So now that jump drive works on that specific laptop, but when plugged into another computer the links don't work...

Is there a way to make the links work regardless of what computer we're using?  Thanks!

Prompt for "Document Properties" on using "Save As"

Posted: 01 Oct 2013 03:03 AM PDT

I used Word 2000 for many years.  I generate a weekly newsletter that is developed from the previous week's one.  Each week I use "Save As" to convert the previous week's issue to this week's one. In Word 2000 I got a prompt for "Document Properties" in which I updated a couple of fields containing text (issue date, issue number etc) that appear in several places in the document, (page headers, titles, etc.)  

In Word 2013 I cannot find out how to do the same thing.  I have to go through several layers of menus and click targets to find the properties I want to update.  Often I forget to do this.  How do I set up the same automatic prompt for these properties?

Docx files are trying to open in Word (2010) and Wordpad at the same time (Win7)

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 11:20 PM PDT

My problem began with the recent Windows Update issue where KB2760411, KB2760588 and KB2760583 were being offered repeatedly after being installed. Microsoft fixed the problem quickly, but I was left with a the following issue involving .docx files:

 

Selecting a .docx file causes Word 2010 and Wordpad to attempt to open it at the same time. Since Word beats Wordpad by a split second, I get error messages from Word that I must click on to get them out of the way before I can view my document in Word 2010.  Word is the program that SHOULD be opening it.  Why Wordpad has suddenly decided to get in the act, I don't know.  The error messages are as follows:

 

1. "There was a problem sending the command to the program."

     The title bar has the document's name and path and is coming from Wordpad.

     I click OK and the next error box opens.

 

2. "The document C:(full path) is in use by another application and cannot be accessed."

     When I click "OK", both the message and WordPad disappear.

 

Meanwhile Word 2010 has finished loading the document behind all the error message boxes and once I close them, I can work on it.

 

In File Type Associations, the default program for .docx files is Microsoft Office Client Virtualization Handler.

 

In Default Programs, Wordpad isn't assigned the default for ANY file types, so I don't know why it's getting involved in opening the files.  I noted that Microsoft Office or Word aren't in the list of Default Programs, but I'm guessing it's supposed to be that way??

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Change Word 2013 custom template menu to list not icons

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 09:01 PM PDT

Our company has quite a lot of custom templates which incorporate macros etc.  In Word 2003 we could change how the template menu appeared so that a briefer "List" style of menu appeared instead of the "Icon" style of menu.  This made it easier to select the required template from the variety available.

Now in Word 2013 its even worse the Icons are huge and you have to peddle down through 2 drag bars to get to what you want to find - time consuming and annoying.

Is there any way to change the Template menu so that "List" style is available (i.e. alphabetically listed by name rather than a huge icon type picture of what the template looks like).

 

NB  You do not offer the option below of choosing Office on Windows 9 - that is our system.

When Insert Video -> Youtube,  select a video and insert, in a newly created blank word 2013 document, nothing happened. However, if Insert Video -> Bing Video Search, even the video appears to be from youtube, a video is inserted as expected. The 3rd option (From a Video Embedded Code) works as well, albeit only a black square is insert, the video plays nonetheless.

Take a word document~email(choices XPS or PDF) editor needs it in .DOC format

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:19 PM PDT

I have 400 page book, I wrote in Word 2007. When I sent it to my editor, the email gives me two choices:
PDF or XPS.
I sent it PDF.
My editor had to convert it into a .DOC in order to be able to allow the editing process.

My question is how can I email my original book to her in .doc instead of PDF. I did figure out how to convert PDF to .DOC but I still don't understand how to email it. I guess not everyone has the ability to read a word document. I appreciate the help/

Changing the default format for lists in Word 2010

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 06:17 PM PDT

Is there a way to permanently kill the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" option in Word 2010? It's a format I never want, and I spend too much time "unfixing" lists. Each time I start a new list, Word automatically rechecks the box that eliminates the space between the paragraphs. Then it automatically indents the list .25 inch. I've tried modifying the Normal.dot files without any success. Is there a way to have a new list begin with the same paragraph spacing and the indentation as in the preceding paragraph (which is usually the Normal style)?

Programs Compatibility for Outlook 2003 and MS Suite 2007 Applications

Posted: 30 Sep 2013 04:02 PM PDT

After windows 7 was re-installed, I could no longer see my Outlook 2003 emails or the program in general.  Also, this guy re-installed MS office Suite 2007.  However, now I cannot see ALL of my former Word docs...only some of the older ones.

 

So, how can I see Outlook 2003 program and Word files.

 I have NOT installed Outlook 2007 yet because I did not know whether this would help or hurt the problem.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

No, you cannot use xls, because the functions are not available in xls.
To make it clearer. Up to Excel 2007 there are only small problems. Most
major functions have a counterpart in the other application. But with
Excel 2010 we get more than 50 new functions. A lot of them can be
mapped to Calc function. But there are at least AGGREGATE, CONFIDENCE.T,
CEILING.PRECISE, F.DIST, MODE.MULT and NETWORKSDAYS.INTL (I have not yet
examined all the others) where a simple mapping is impossible.

That would be the choice C of my initial posting?

[discuss] Official request to the community council [was: OOoand Oracle]

Posted: 13 Apr 2010 02:25 PM PDT

Hi Cor, all

I changed the subject, because I want to follow your proposal to
position my concerns officially at the Community Council, while keeping
in this thread in order to inform the community about this specific request.

*Please don't support the application independency of the ODF document
icons!*

Cor Nouws schrieb: 
We've been discussing some of my personal concerns on several lists and
in private mail, but one point among several Sun/Oracle decisions in the
past few months needs clarification by the Community Council IMO:

Rosana Ardila stated on discuss@ux [1] and branding@marketing [2] with
regards to the new document icons that don't include any OpenOffice.org
branding or resemblance: "Where there is no room for changes is on the
branding of the icons (no gulls). The idea of supporting ODF as a
application independent open standard is the priority."

This priority has never been decided nor supported by the community.

In Spring 2009 there has been a decision by the Engineering Steering
Committee going far beyond it's responsibilities described as "Provide
advice on technical implementations in case of conflicting interests."
on the CC homepage [3] that has only been mentioned in their minutes [4].

Half a year later Lutz Höger blogged about the new ODF icons on GullFOSS
[5] and if not an attentive community member had noticed it (Thanks,
Volker!), they would have been implemented in OOo3.2.0 without further
notice.

During the last months there have been concerns, discussions and
proposals on several lists, but the only result was an update of the
icons with slightly more contrast.

I don't want to discuss the design of the icons here - it's about their
basics:

Why should OpenOffice.org give away it's presence on the user's desktop
- the main place to be recognized by the people - only to support the
"application independency" of ODF?

We want to support ODF - even on the desktop. So let's add an "ODF"
badge to every ODF document and all the applications supporting this
document format.

But I know that I'm not alone, if I don't support giving up OOo branding
in the document icons.

Application independency is just one of several important aspects of ODF
- interoperability can be promoted by the ODF badge on similar (even on
different) document icons, but allowing us to promote OpenOffice.org at
the same time (and telling the users that they open *our* application to
work on ODF documents) will not reduce ODF perception to a measurable
degree.

On the contrast: I could imagine that it might be much easier for other
producers of ODF supporting applications to follow our way to support
ODF by similar document icons, if they would contain an application
related symbol like the ones I proposed for OOo [6].

It's reasonable for Oracle to remove the Sun branding in StarOffice
document icons already in the last version called "StarOffice". But
this can't be a reason for OpenOffice.org to follow this step.
StarOffice doesn't need it's branding any more - on the contrast, it's
nonconstructive for future development.

OpenOffice.org needs to stay visible on our users desktops - please find
a way to tell our major code contributor that being part of the
community means not to ignore the minority. Especially if this minority
(I'm quite sure that it is the majority if we would count people) spends
a lot of dedication, idealism and time for our community and our product.

I don't want to provide manpower for free to a marketing strategy that
doesn't have OpenOffice.org as main focus. 
Sorry, I don't have lots of positive remarks on this topic, but
following the recent CC meetings, it seems that your work becomes more
target- and community-oriented by an improved wiki presence,
participation in the newsletter and open IRC slots in your meetings :-) 
I don't want to run away - I've spent hundreds (thousands?) of hours for
OOo during the last six years. I've done this with joy and have been
convinced of the necessity and reasonability of this work. I want to be
able to keep on with this work in future.

Best regards

Bernhard

No, that may have worked, up to a point, for EasyWriter thirty years ago, but it's an abuse of OpenOffice.org, and will sooner or later screw up your page layout. You can Format->Paragraph, pick (if it is not already picked) Indents & Spacing, and enter a value in Spacing:Below paragraph, but if you're sensible, you do the same thing, but apply it to a style, and then apply the style to the paragraphs.

Same thing for Microsoft Word (going back to Word for DOS 1.0, back in 1983), same thing for Pages (in Apple iWork), same thing for any WYSIWYG word processor I know of. Same thing, too, for any modern markup language, for that matter, if you adjust the terminology a little -- even for HTML -- going back at least to when GML (without the S) was an IBM proprietary product for mainframes and laser printers were the size of a VW bus.

You can use the point of a steak knife to turn a Philips-head screw if you insist on it, but it's bad for the knife and bad for the screw, and is likely to end in tears.

I don't want to sound negative, but... the ribbon is a bad idea, imho.

There are far too many inconsistencies in the ribbon interface. Things move, depending on
what you are doing, for no obvious reason. Sometimes buttons are large, sometimes they
are small. Sometimes they have an icon - sometimes the same button does not. Back in my
day, 'Consistency' was drummed into you when you learnt UI design.

I've been teaching MSO for several years. Office 2007 has just caused headaches - to
students who use a machine set up with different resolution, who find the layout of MSO
changes on each machine. At least Office 2003 tried to keep all the buttons stuck in one
place.

I feel like an idiot when someone in a class asks a question and I cannot easily answer,
because I find the MSO 07 interface so counter-intuitive. I'm used to the file/edit/etc way of
working. Finding years' worth of teaching materials suddenly become obsolete because
Microsoft have decided they will does not make you want to stay with the product. At least
handouts prepared for Word 97 could be used with Word 2003, with minimal editing.

What do we say to organisations who have invested in training and manuals for OOo3.x if 4.x
looks weird - "oh, sorry, buy more stuff for the 'free' software"?

The OOo interface might benefit from a bit of sprucing up (they could do a lot worse than
Symphony IMO), but copying MSO will cause far more annoyances than it fixes. If an
interface overhaul is deemed appropriate, either give the user a choice of new or old
interface (a-la Winzip), or make sure a fork can continue to support the old interface with any
new features.

Those are my own thoughts anyway!

Automating the conversion of a lead to a contact

Posted: 18 Jun 2004 05:37 PM PDT

Well, what I need to do is the same thing that
the "Convert Lead..." option does, but control who they
assign the lead to internally. I do this by matching up
the company name with existing accounts and then finding
the sales rep who is responsible for the account.

I'm just curious what mechanism would be the best for
accomplishing this goal.

Also, is there any way I can remove the default "Convert
Lead..." button once my custom lead transfer app is
complete?

Thanks!

CRM used in banking?

Posted: 18 Jun 2004 09:10 AM PDT

One of the advatages of Microsoft CRM is that it is a great platform to
build on top of. For example a number of ISV's have produced addon's to make
CRM work in other industries such as for associations etc. I have yet to
hear of anything in the banking sector though.

Auto-generate number

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 09:25 PM PDT

You could do something like this with a post-callout. What would happen when
records are created offline is the callout would fire when the record is synched
and the number would be genned at that time.

I wouldn't risk that. Did you reboot since then? And that didn't work? I'd
suggest calling MBS or reinstall the server.

Administrator privileges to run setup?

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 12:31 PM PDT

Then you need to enlist the assistance of a Domain ADmin to do the install. Is
this a "hole", that can be debated. However, once you get the instll done, any
user that tries to add users or BU's to CRM needs AD rights on the OU's and to
get this security, you need a Domain Admin to help you out.

Thanks for your answer, Vinicius, but I understood that the install must be done
by a person with both local and domain priviledges. Doesn't it seem like a

To find url of a page

Arch,

In any explorer window that is launched by CRM, you can simply press F11 to
resize the browser to full screen mode. In this mode, the location toolbar
will show you the correct URL for the CRM window you are viewing.

how to crm backup?

Posted: 17 Jun 2004 07:15 AM PDT

on the database backup the 4 crm databases+master+msdb

on the web server backup the isv.config, web.config then export the system
to an xml file from deployment manager. Also export the workflows to xml as
well. If you have created new reports or changed existing ones i would back
them up.

This is the basics

the IG as gary says will cover the rest

Well what I would want to do is that when I want to open up a certain

I hope you see what I'm trying to get at or maybe I'm looking at the wrong

If you are using XP this could also be caused by the Stored User Names
and Passwords feature of XP.

Delete previously stored passwords from withing control panel, user

uhmm......why are you installing it on the server?!

Just install it on the workstation that you (or whomever) will be developing
on. From here you create a new C# web application,....it will ask for the
server,.....enter the CRM server. Now, if you want to use the proxy, right
click the References folder, choose add reference, and locate your proxy.dll
