MS Word 2010 Headers & Footers

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 02:54 PM PDT

Hi MS Community,

Could you please advise me on how I can go about changing the heights of all footers in a word document simultaneously?

I know how to change them individually, it's just a matter of doing them all at the same time so I don't have to go section by section.

I also have about 7 different sections so please advise if this also makes a difference.


Thanks in advance.

Office Applications Crash on Startup

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 02:10 PM PDT

When I attempt to start any Microsoft Office application I receive a "something went wrong" error. If I perform a quick or offline repair then I am able to run office applications on my computer until I restart the computer after which, I experience the same issue again.

Fixes I've already tried:
  • Installing the latest version of DisplayLink as mentioned in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813143
  • Using the fix it tool to check for, and uninstall, any versions of Microsoft Office.
  • Disabling all add-ons after re installing Microsoft Office (I am unable to start Office in safe word without re-installing it either)
  • I do not have Abby Finereader installed.
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you!

Unwanted auto formatting throughout a document.

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 12:29 PM PDT

Okay - I don't mind Word auto-correcting words for me or making my fractions look better. But when I adjust the margins on one figure caption, it shouldn't go through my document and apply the changes to all the figure captions. And when I format a bullet list, it shouldn't change the formatting for all the bullet lists in the document. How do I turn this off! I am spending too much time discovering when this happens and trying to fix it.   This is for Word 2010.

Format changes that make NO sense

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:45 AM PDT

I'm a technical writer who uses Word to produce a variety of documents ranging from 2-150 pages.  My organization has a certain set of styles that are used in all of the documents we publish.  Out of the blue, we started noticing that the headings in the documents were randomly changing, even though the styles themselves were never modified.  Some of the bigger issues are:

  • We have our headings set up for automatic numbering and, after saving a document, the font family/size/style of only the numbering changes.  For instance, a heading that should be Georgia 14, bold italics, will change to Verdana 10, bold.  Not only does this happen in the headings themselves, but it is also changed in the actual heading styles (even though no one has modified the style in any way).
  • After saving a document, some of the heading numbers will turn blue (all text in our documents is Automatic).  Again, when the heading numbers turn blue, the style itself also reflects blue numbering.
  • Word inserts random page breaks throughout the document.  I might scroll through a 50 page document and see NO page breaks, but after saving the document, I'll scroll back through and find multiple pages containing only one or two sentences, and the rest of the text has been moved down to the next page.
  • In a few of our documents, the Heading 1 style has begun to appear with the name "Char," and when applied to any part of the text, behaves very unpredictably (changes to various fonts, sizes, etc. -- not consistent at all).

Any idea what could cause these issues?  They are occuring whether the document is a year old and being updated, or is brand new from a clean template.  It's becoming very time-consuming to fix them, as we often have to correct the issues multiple times before the document saves without any changes occurring.  It's beyond frustrating at this point.

Word Windows Open Partly Off-Screen, How to Repair Placement

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:26 AM PDT

I was using the WIN+RIGHT ARROW shortcut to show some windows side by side. However now whenever I open word documents from Windows Explorer the new window pops up basically 90% off the right side of the screen. I know how to get it back to where I want it to, but I am making multiple small edits to a multitude of documents, and it's hurting my productivity having to move and resize documents each and every time, for hundreds of documents. I want to know how I can reset the default window placement, when it gets out of place.

Please do not respond by telling me I can use the WIN+UP ARROW to maximize, I already know how to do that.

Bug - Print heading and content

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:58 AM PDT

I seem to be having a problem with Word 2013. I have a document that has headings and subheadings. I right click the heading and click "Print heading and content". It then brings up the print menu, and I select "Print". After that, it starts preparing the document for printing and does its thing. Then that bar at the bottom goes away and nothing prints and nothing is added to the print queue. Things I have tried:

  • Attempt on different printer (Same thing)
  • Restart "Printer Spooler" service in Services.msc (Same thing)
  • Restart computer (Same thing)
  • Close all office documents and reopen  (Same thing)
  • Print certain page numbers to same printer (Prints as normal)

Things you might need to know (Let me know if you need anything else):

  • Printers attempted:
  • - HP LaserJet P2055dn
  • - Adobe PDF Printer
  • Word 2013 (15.0.4535.1000) MSO (15.0.4535.1002) 32bit
  • Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Is Calibri compatible with 2003?

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:57 AM PDT

I'm using Word 2010 to format a bunch of docs that will be widely distributed. I don't know what version of Word they'll use to open them and want to make sure there are no problems.

Should I save them as .doc instead of .docx

What about the fonts? Is it okay to use Calibri - or will it be substituted if the users are opening in v2003?

Thank you.

printed pages don't match screeen

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:11 AM PDT

I am printing an important 175 page document.  However, the printed pages do not mach the Word document on the screen.  For example, there will be three lines of type on page 30 of the screen.  However, when printed, those three lines appear at the bottom of page 29, and therefore page 30 is blank, even though it is numbered at the top.  I checked the entire document in the navigation tiles before printing, and every page on the screen was correct.  Please help!  Thanks.

Home & Office 2013 - Word will not open!!

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 07:58 AM PDT

i have Windows 8 installed on my 5 month old new computer.  I purchased Home & Office 2013 in May 2013.  Downloaded 64 bit version.
I have had several issues such as screen flickering and messages appearing at the top of Office and other applications "not responding".  These messages only last about a second each time.
I now have a problem with Word.  It will not open!  All other applications i H&O open ok
I have carried out the quick fix 5 times and have also carried out a complete fix twice, still it wont open.
The 'blue' window opens to start Word but immediately the error message appears saying sorry, but word has run into an error etc etc etc.
I have deleted a file ABBYY and amended 2 files NVWGF2.UM.DLL which were suggested in a previous email but still no luck.

For the first time I had a window open to suggest opening in safe mode.  I clicked on yes but then the error message appeared again.

I need access to Word so any advice would be appreciated.

Changing Normal Template in Word 2010

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 07:06 AM PDT

I'm running Word 2010 and want to change my normal template but everything I've tried doesn't work.  I specifically don't like the double spacing of llines.  I had it set correctly but a computer glitch caused the normal to reset to the orginal version, and now I can't figure out how to change it back.  I've tried changing it, setting it as default and saving it as a template, but nothing works.  I'm fustrated.  HELP!!!

THIS NEWSLETTER TEMPLATE IS MADDENING

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:45 AM PDT

I am about to lose it. I'm trying to assemble an employee newsletter and can't do any of the things I need to in order to customize it. Why is the 2nd page on this template blank except for a heading? I want to copy the format of a later page OR delete the stupid blank page and cannot seem to do either. 
I also cannot figure out a way to move inserted pictures around once copied onto a page or column. I try to shift them up and down inside the column to no avail. Couldn't the headers be set in a text box that's mobile? I'm having to delete them and insert my own text boxes. This feels like a complete waste of time, and isn't at all user friendly.

Word Documents Printing on half the page

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:36 AM PDT

When I print a Word document it only prints on half the page.  When printed it looks like the left margins was set at 2.5.  When I look at it on my screen it looks normal.  So I figure I have accidentally adjusted some setting for printing Word but I cannot find where I did this.  Other documents print normally on this HP 6500 printer.  I just printed a test document on a different printer and it prints normally. I did a "soft reset" on the HP printer.  Any Thoughts would be much appreciated.

Dates on diarys pages ?

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:29 AM PDT

Hi

How can i make a diary ?

I have 36 pages with three days on each, where clients are supposed to check boxes on whether they have done this or that.

I need to have a macro/script where i specify the start day, and then the macro/script will fill in the date fields in the rest of the document, with ascending dates, i don't know if this is done with bookmarks.

How can this be done in Word 2013 ?

change normal.dot on office2010 and 2007

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 03:03 AM PDT

Hey all,

We have and issue implementing different templates on company computers, which i hope you can help with :-) we have successfully created custom templates (not normal.dot) and distributed them using a small program written in C#.

First question: Is it wise to push out new templates, or would it be best to maybe change the default folder to a server folder? maybe this could be done using group policies?

Second question: If i choose to push the templates through my little program, could this also be done on the normal.dot file, and do i have to consider any file rights settings?

Graphs change size when updating link in Word

Why does Word 2010 still indent lists in blank documents based on Normal.dotm, even though I've modified the lists and styles in the Normal.dotm file?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 10:44 PM PDT

The auto-indenting feature of bullets and lists has always frustrated me.  EVERY time you apply a numbered or bulleted list, you've got to set the indents.  I want my lists to be indented at the very left of the page, flush with the rest of the paragraphs. But no, Microsoft insists that you want them indented by 0.63cm and hanging at 1.27cm (WHY 0.63? Why not 0.7? Or 1.0cm? But that's a question for a different session.)  (I know, it's because MS is American and still uses inches etc...)

So I spent some time trying to figure it out, playing with Normal.dotm and the various styles (List paragraph, List Number, List Bullet etc etc).  And finally, when I've got Normal.dotm open (i.e. I'm editing that template file), I get my result: I apply a standard numbered list, and it comes up flush left (i.e. not indented) and hanging at 1.0cm (cos I don't use inches...) and with a tab stop applied at 1.0cm as well - funky stuff!

Pleased with myself (always a fatal thing when the gods of computing are around), I fire up a blank document and press the numbered list button.

My heart sinks.  It's indented at 0.63, hanging at 1.27cm, no tab stop.  For crying out loud!  Why does it work when I've got the actual Normal.dotm file open, but NOT when it generates a new document BASED on Normal.dotm? 

What am I missing, folks?
(Other than an opportunity to sulk and go off and use OpenOffice...) 
(Actually, I'm only missing half that opportunity. I'm definitely sulking.... :)

Font changes when typing Chinese!

I have set my font for Asian characters to MingLiU:

 


 

However, when I type any Chinese character (including space or even hit Enter), the font switches to SimSun (Body Asian).

 


 

I have to select the text and click for the 'Normal' style then it changes to MingLiU. However, I can never type in MingLiU. Is there a way to solve this problem?

 

Also, I have noticed this:

 


 

This is despite me setting the default font as other fonts for both Latin and Asian settings. Is there any way to change the 'theme fonts'??? Thanks a lot!

How do I recover a word document I accidentally saved over?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 05:53 PM PDT

I'm working on a book and as backup I wanted to save it to a flash drive as well. So I saved it to a simple flash drive. Well, I worked on it some more, saved it in my word document, and then I wanted to save the new copy to my flash drive. So I dragged it over to my flash drive, and clicked on the move and copy option. I thought it was going to move my newest copy over to my flash drive and overwrite my old copy, but instead it saved my old copy (the one that was on the flash drive) over my newest copy (the one I had saved in my documents). Is there anyway I can recover what I accidentally saved over, and why did this happen in the first place?

(I'm using Microsoft word 2007)

AutoComplete with the option to overwrite in Word 2007?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:17 PM PDT

Hi,

 

I have a preotected form where several fields are set to autofill from previous fields in the form. Is there a way to have an option ot override that content. For example, the permanent address on the second page is autofilled from the mailing address on the first BUT the persons permanent address may be different than their mailing. I still want the auto fill since 80% or more cases the address will be the same adress. Unfortunately having a box that says same as above is not feasible. Both sections have to be filled out to be accepted.

 

Thanks!

Almost - you can't eliminate all the task info in the table but you can just
drag the divider between the task list and timeline all the way to the left
and it will hide all the columns except for the ID number and the indicator
column. Make the indicator really skinny.

I did go in and create the new calendars. I can see them when I go into

they do not show up there.

I'm not sure what is blocking them. I made sure to go back and check the

I may go back and try to insert the subproject again to see if anything will

Text1-30 fields

Posted: 08 Dec 2004 02:47 PM PST

Under the hood there are three basic entities in Project - tasks, resources,
and assignments. All of the various table views in Project are views of one
of these three entities. You can't mix and match attributes - display
resource fields in a task view, for example. The Text1 field you see in the
Gantt chart is a task attribute. OTOH, the Resource Usage view is showing
attributes from the assignment table and task attributes can't be added to
it. Another example of this, you'll notice that if you add Text1 to a Gantt
chart table and put data in it, then switch to the resource sheet and add
the Text1 column to it, your entries will be missing. That's because the
Task Text1 and the Resource Text1 are totally different fields in differnt
table and have the same name only by coincidence.

A few REALLY quick questions on Project Web

Posted: 08 Dec 2004 02:01 PM PST


Hi Ben!

If you have the talent in-house to customize PWA views, then there is a
lot of free information available at microsoft.com to get you started.

However, unless your in-house developers are intimately familiar with the
inner workings of Project Server and PWA, the learning curve could be
formidable and you may be waiting months for a solution. On the other
hand, you could pay someone to do the custom development work for you,
and you would then have the solution much, much more quickly.

You need to ask yourself what it's worth to your business to have the
correct information in a timely manner to make important business
decisions.

Good luck!

Monthly Recurring Task

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I actually did what you suggested first. It makes
sense that it would work but it doesn't. I just tried it again. Setting up
a recurring task that end after 48 monthly occurrences ends up giving me a
duration of 1020.5 days and work totalling 8164h. The work should only equal
4h x 48 = 192h. I know it sounds very basic but hence my question.

Thanks again.

Project 2003 Calendar

Posted: 08 Dec 2004 03:55 AM PST

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the reply. It's for a combination of both. We have a specific
project and will probably have 2 or 3 projects running simulanteously with a
core of people across them all. Researching better options for maintaining
staff locations than Excel I came across the calendar option in Project which
I was previously unaware of. However the location of staff does not have to
be attached to the progress of the project. If you can suggest a better
option I'm more than happy to investigate it. Ideally I want a system that I
can input all details to show a week at a time and diseminate this info to a
wide network. The smaller the file and easier to read the better. Kat

It should work. In Regional Settings-List Separator (the exact location of

used this approach for years in just about every version of Project on all
versions of Windows. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work for you.
Try it again and report back.

If you want to track what the original start and finish dates were, then
it's imporant to save a baseline for your project before you begin making
updates to the plan. You can do this by selecting Tools > Tracking > Save
Baseline...

In the Save Baseline dialog box, select Save Baseline, for the Entire
Project, then click the OK button. This will store all of your original
task start and finish dates in another set of fields (Baseline Start and
Baseline Finish) for safekeeping. If you want to view them at any time,
you can simply insert those columns into a view by selecting Insert >
Column..., then selecting Baseline Start and / or Baseline Finish.

To take it a step further, you can even create some custom fields with
graphical indicators which display the variance between the currently-
scheduled dates and the baseline dates. I've recently written a brief
how-to article about this on ProjectUser.com... go check it out!

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 08:17 AM PST

I have each version completely in a different folder. I hasten to add that
I would never recommend this for real projects, but for the purposes of
expimentation and answering questions about different the different versions
it works OK :)

Prevent Showing costs from EVM Measurements

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 07:35 AM PST

How about using a "secret" scaling factor for your costs?

Another option is to export a subset of the project data into another
format, such as MS Excel, MS Visio, or MS Powerpoint, and giving the export
to your client. You can create a custom export map which only displays non-
confidential data, and this map can be saved for quick future exports. This
option allows you to maintain only a single version of the plan.

Yet another option, if you're using Project Server with PWA, is to create a
PWA view which doesn't include your confidential cost fields.

Very short task durations (< 1 minute)

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 07:09 AM PST

They using it to map the processes so they can plan the workload, assign
staff accordingly, and (I gather) schedule the entry of samples into the
process. That's managing, whether performance against the plan is
subsequently tracked or not. Whether it's done using Project or some other
tool I just don't believe human activities can ever be scheduled to that
level of precision - it implies that it is reasonable to expect mixing the
water and acid will take exactly 27 seconds, not 26 or 28, and Joe Resource
will be staring at the clock (synchronized to the NIST master clocks) so he
can start it at precisely 10:13:19 and finish it at 10:13:37 and even more,
that it really matters that it's done at 10:13:37 and it's not acceptable
for it to finish at 10:13:35 or 10:13:50. Because humans don't and can't
work that way, it seems pointless to me to go to the trouble. Even more
importantly, focussing on the trees and not the forest can lead one away
from devising systems and controls that actually meet the objectives at
hand.

Tools are supposed to make work easier and more efficient. While it's
certainly possible to kludge together something in Project, because of the
way Project behaves I would be very cautious about relying on it too far and
forcing the job to fit Project's design model is probably going to be a
laborious process. You can open a can of beans with a screwdriver or a
hammer but they're far from being the optimal tools for the job. Whack the
can with the hammer and you'll get the beans out but you'll have a mess to
clean up and only get to eat half the beans in the end <grin>.

Restriced Access

Posted: 06 Dec 2004 08:09 AM PST


Hello Brian!

What you're asking can be easily accomplished through Project Server and
PWA (Project Web Access), and it sounds like you've already got the right
tools in place to get the job done... you just need to apply them.

One great aspect of this setup is in the fact that if you structure your
project plan correctly, you can assign different people to different
tasks within the plan, publish the plan to your Project Server, and those
people can then provide status updates against their assigned tasks
independently. Those task updates are then routed back to a Project
Manager for review, approval, and integration back into the original
project plan. These individuals can have their system rights restricted
so that they can only see their assigned tasks... and no more. This also
allows the Project Manager to maintain complete control of the plan...
which is a good thing.

In your scenario, we could create a project plan which has several
release-related activities, one of them being the "release to
purchasing" event. We could then assign the data entry person to that
task in the plan, and she would only be able to see that task when she
logs in to PWA to enter status updates. When she updates the "release to
purchasing" task as 100% complete, then that update can be integrated
back into the original project plan quickly and easily, as well as any
other updates that may have been submitted by other people who are
assigned to other tasks in the plan.

As you've suggested, it is highly recommended to keep all timing /
scheduling data in a central location for several reasons, and Project
Server is a great tool for doing that. All project data is stored in a
central database, and several people, internally or externally (clients!)
can be given open or restricted access to that data through MSProject or
the web-browser-based PWA (Project Web Access). The system can even be
integrated with other corporate systems, such as HR systems, financial
accounting systems, or CRM systems.

There's really no need to do any custom coding or development for this
situation; simply learn to configure and use the tools that you already
have installed!

If you'd like more details, feel free to contact me.

Good luck!

Have you recently updated your Mac OS X 10.5 system with the latest

If so, this security update breaks all Microsoft Office 2008 updaters

To work around this, download the updater from Microsoft's web site
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx>, log out of your Mac OS X
account and log in again with the Shift key held down. This will prevent
all startup items and Office daemons from running.

Run the updater and then restart your computer.

BASIC PIE CHART IN SMARTART GRAPHICS

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 06:37 AM PDT

It sounds like you are selecting only the labels without selecting the data
to be plotted. The size of pie slices, columns, etc. is determined by the
values being plotted, not by manual adjustment.

See the Help of whatever program you're using on the topic: Create a Chart

For future reference: Whenever you post it's a good idea to indicate not
only what program the problem pertains to but also what specific version of
that program. Charting, for example, can be done in Word & PowerPoint as
well as Excel. Also, in either of the three Charts can be created using the
Insert> Chart command or by way of Insert> Object> Microsoft Graph Chart
which results in a different process. Your message includes none of that
information.

Problem wth removing/reinstalling Office 2004

Posted: 07 Aug 2008 07:31 PM PDT

Check this page for the updates to Office 2004. The 11.3.5 updater contains
the fix for the Identity upgrade issue. You can try just upgrading to this.

The AUOffice2004111EN sounds like an early upgrade that is probably no
longer available. It could also be for the AutoUpdate application and not
Office.

BTW, why did your use "Remove Office" in the first place? I'm suspecting
that you have underlying system problems that could have resulted in Office
problems. The Combo will often fix these, but if the problems are wide
spread it takes an "Archive & Install." A lot of people are scared of doing
an "Archive & Install" but it really is not hard and the last time I did it
I only had to re-install my Microsoft keyboard software.

"Archive and Install" moves existing system files to a folder named Previous
System and then installs Mac OS X again.

Just be sure to check Preserve Users and Network Settings when you select
Archive & Install.

Archive and Install

1) Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X
icon.

2) Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the
destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will
be the only one available).

3) Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and
network settings, select ³Archive and Install,² and then select ³Preserve
Users and Network Settings.² If you want to erase everything on your
computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select ³Erase and Install.² You can¹t
recover erased data.

4) Click Continue.

5) Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you¹d like to install,
or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).


Once the install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the
disk you have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.5.0, that's what
version of OS will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate
Combo Updater from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version.
After you run the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any
additional updates.

I believe most of the issues you're encountering are because you're using
Publishing Layout View. It's more oriented toward Desktop Publishing / Page
Layout work, not for the typical document construction you're accustomed to.
If you work in Print Layout or Draft View I think you'll be far more at
home.

There's not much about adding a page because adding pages isn't something
you do in Word's conventional views. Publishing Layout is a new, radically
different feature of the program in the 2008 version. If you're in
Publishing Layout, New Page is the first command in the Insert menu, but
you're working in a totally different type of document structure.

As for the Help, there's no doubt it needs improvement. They are working to
do so, but it's a monumental task. If you're interested in learning more
about using Publishing Layout search Help for: publishing.

Office 2008 Files: Read Only, POSIX, ACLs Frustration!

Posted: 06 Aug 2008 04:17 PM PDT

Unfortunately, we haven't made any progress on this problem. The RTFD files
open and save without a problem. I am pretty confident at this point that it
is not a permissions problem with the server, as the permissions behave
correctly in every other application with every other type of file. As stated
earlier, they even behave if I open these supposedly "read only" files with
Open Office or Text Editor. Basically, every program that I try can open the
files correctly, except for Office 2008 programs.

We are now looking to get away from Leopard server and instead use our
Windows 2003 file server. For whatever the reason, Leopard Server is just not
playing nice with Office 2008. We do not run a complicated network and yet
have had nothing but problems with Leopard Server since we've installed it a
month ago. It's my opinion that the product, while it may work for some,
simply isn't ready for prime time (yet).

I'm going to also setup a linux based test server, enable SMB, and see if I
have similar problems with these Office 2008 files. That should give me a
hint if it's the SMB protocol itself, or if it's something that Apple has
done to the SMB implementation that doesn't play well with Office 2008.

Thanks again for your ideas!

You mention that you must log out and log in to get the Office Reminders
working. Have you verified that you don't simply need to restart
Entourage? I'm not saying that's an acceptable solution but it's a step
worth testing while troubleshooting.

Also, in Entourage try turning Office Reminders off and on again under
the Entourage menu. Does that have any effect?

Saving to NFS shares reverts permissions to umask

Posted: 30 Jul 2008 06:19 AM PDT

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply.
 

I can confirm that this does not necessarily occur with other applications. For example, I tested with a .rtf file created and saved in TextEdit. I had another user create the file and save it to an NFS share (and set full read-write for everyone 777 permissions). I opened the file in TextEdit, made a change, and saved it. Checked permissions afterward: although *ownership* of the file changed from the other user to me, the mode of 777 was preserved, which would be the desired behavior for Office.
 

Those are the lines along which I was thinking: Office apps are not changing permissions per se on existing files (which, as you say, I don't think they would know anything about or be able to affect), but rather are creating new files and replacing existing files with these new files. I'd also love it if someone with knowledge of the Save process had any input to provide.

Thanks again,

Chris

Easy way to copy fields?

I know I can do this manually, I was inquiring if there
was a way to automate the process since each one takes a
decent amount of time. If not this would be a handy
feature to have in 2.0 and just have you "promote & link"
a field from say Leads to Contacts. This way you don't
have to worry about typos and instead of Create Lead Data
+ Create Contact Data + Link Them, you could
just "Promote" the fields you want copied and linked.
Because this doesn't just apply to contacts and Leads,
but I may have to do the same for opportunities and/or
Accounts, which will take forever!

I would really like to see a feature in crm which tracks everything a user

[1212112] etc
ie a logging feature where you could choose the level of details you wanted.
If we have more post callout events in version 2 it may be possible to write
a tool to track this soft of info. It would be great when a user reports an
issue if we could see what they were doing. I find the errors CRM posts to
the event logs less than useful as they tend to be just exception errors

You can access a number of display attributes (such as
column heading), formatting (decimal points) , min/max
values and whether the field is required by customizing
the related form and adding the new field to the form.
The form is the anchor so to speak of the above
attributes. It seems strange that this information is not
included when you define the field in the deployment
manager given that it seems to fall into the category of
meta data. Incidently I found that you cannot add a
schema field to a view without first adding it to the
form.
