Works 7.0 Database - Can't view record

Posted: 28 Sep 2006 06:21 AM PDT

Hi,

Did you check the field height ?
(you can't see the record because the height is set to 0)
Try this :
Edit > Select All
Format > Field's height > Ok or Standard
(It's perhaps slightly different because it's a free translation of the 4.5
french version)

Regards.

Works 4.5a Database: Calculate median price

Posted: 26 Sep 2006 02:08 PM PDT

Dave, it will be several thousand records grouped by LOTS of different
schools and the data will change from time-to-time, which is why it would be
great to automate it. I use OpenOffice for my spreadsheet, and it has a
built-in median function, but grouping and reporting seems to be better
suited to a database.

FYI, I created an experimental report in the Works database and used the
built-in functions "minimum," "maximum," and "average" calculations on
groups as well as on the entire data set. It was wonderfully simple to set
up and administer. In fact, the sample report I created for the test does
EVERYTHING I need to do for the real data, except it lacks the median
calculation.

BTW, there is a work-around in the Works spreadsheet for calculating the
median, and it involves the "count" and "index" functions. Works DB doesn't
have the "index" function, so I may just be out of luck.

But so far, no one has come out and said, "It's not possible to do the
median in the Works Database," so I'm still holding out for hope.

Works 6.0 - Database won't start

Hi David,

Sorry to hear you still have the problem.

As I recall a printer can cause unusual problems with the database.

Also the following two knowledge base articles might be of interest.

You receive a "The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0150002)" error message when you start an Office 2003 program on a
Windows XP Professional-based computer

Microsoft Works issue

Posted: 20 Sep 2006 08:13 AM PDT

Thanks for the feed back.

For what ever reason the uninstall does not remove all of Works and during
reinstall it apparently uses those files instead of replacing them from the
CD

If deleting the folder didn't work then I would have suggested using cleanup
utilities to completely remove all remnants of Works.

Example of cleanup utilities described here....

Form letter for more than one record?

Posted: 18 Sep 2006 10:03 AM PDT

So if I understand correctly, Jon, you're trying to position fields in a
report so that they don't all print on a single line.

The trick to doing this is to first create the report containing the
fields that you want, then modify the report. Reports are created with only
1 row per record. Insert additional rows, selecting "Record" as the type,
until you have as many rows as you need for the pre-printed form that you're
trying to match. All of the blocks of the Record type will print together
for a given record, so by positioning the rows and columns of the report
where you need them, you can pretty well control exactly where the text will
be printed. Formatting in the report works much like formatting in the
spreadsheet, with options for font, alignment, borders, shading, etc. The
results you get will only be as good as the paper handling of the printer
you're using (the best results I've ever seen were from dot-matrix printers
with continuous tractor-fed paper).

You can force one record per page by inserting a page break (under the
Format menu, oddly enough), or if you need to fill out forms with multiple
records per page, you can simply insert a large "Record" row at the end of
your data block, then adjust its size until the overall record height gives
you the correct vertical alignment.

Your other option is to use the mail merge feature from the word
processor, but you'd probably have to insert your fields into text boxes and
use the text boxes to control exactly where on the page the text gets
printed. This creates some extra work, but allows you a little more
flexibility if you can't get the database report to print correctly.

Microsoft Word - Embedded Excel file as read only

Microsoft Word - Embedded Excel file as read only

Embedded Excel file as read only

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:30 PM PST

I want to embed an Excel workbook as an object into a Word doc as a read only file. This is so a viewer of the Word doc can use the embedded Excel file as a template by first saving it under another file name. I need to prevent the user from making changes to the original embedded template. Protecting the worksheet or workbook a with password prevents changes to the embedded file but when the file is saved under a different name the protect attribute carries foward making the copy unusable without the password.

 

Also enabling the "read only" attribute before embedding the Excel file into the Word doc doesn't work either.

 

Is there another way to accomplish this?

Copy 1 page several times in a document

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 11:30 AM PST

Dear experts,
on a single page document I am having issues in the code copying the page in question a number of times: the page is made of lots of different elements - shapes, text, table.

Sometimes everything gets pasted correctly in the following newly created page except a shape, which is just copied on top of itself on the initial page; or I have some formatting issues. This happens even when I try to copy/paste by hand. (the VBA code I have been using is below)

Is there an efficient and especially reliable way through VBA to duplicate the same single page a given number of times in the same word document? My single page doc is a label so depending on the product I will have different formatting (more/mess shapes, bigger or smaller tables, etc).


Many thanks in advance for your VERY precious help!!!
Kind regards
Valeria

I've been searching solutions for this problem for weeks and been reverting to MsOffice 2007 and back to 2013 to try those fixes for 3-4 times
Like removing COM Add-Ins, disabling macros from trust center, safe mode suffs, etc

In desperation and confusion i closed the Miscrosoft Word, and the APPCRASH dialog box shows up. says :

Error "Please Wait While Windows Configures Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" every time I Microsoft Office 2007 program - AFTER NEW INSTALL

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:46 AM PST

HP i5 8 GB RAM running 64 bit Win 7 SP1, local computer store installed Office shortly after purchase in January 2013.  No problems at all until 11-25-13.  When trying to open existing word or excel documents, get and error box "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007".  If you let it run its course, if never finishes.  If you open word or excel (I do not get this problem with Publisher) from the start menu or go to all programs and open it, I always get this error.  If I go the application file itself it opens, after a longer than normal wait and sometimes a "Not Responding" message on the top of the screen.  From there I can open existing documents but this is long and cumbersome and there has to be a fix.
Looked for some answers online but everything seems to be from 2011 for a problems like this. 
Called local computer store, they were not aware of any recent problems; Took to local computer store (who did original install) and had them remove and reinstall, problem still occurs (but didn't seem like it happened until after 28 office updates were applied) 
Have 5 very similar machines, this is the only computer with the problem. 
Have Security Essentials, Mal-ware bytes and Advanced system care which are run regularly. 
How can we fix this problem? 

Problem with Word 2010

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 07:18 AM PST

I have Office 2010 Professional software and have noticed a problem with Word which started a couple of months ago.  Whenever I open Word after a few seconds the arrow mouse pointer turns to a blue buffering circle and Word almost freezes.  I can still type but each letter takes about 10 seconds to appear rendering the software almost unusable. I haven't noticed the problem with other facets of the Office suite such as Excel or PowerPoint. I have tried uninstalling and re installing the software from the original disc but to no avail.  I have also tried using Word in safe mode but with no success.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so is there a solution you can share.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Mail Merge

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 05:49 AM PST

Hi,

 

I am trying to do a mail merge with an excel document. The aim of the document is to display each students grades for particular subjects that they have done.

I have managed to do the basic merge of data, however most of the students haven't completed the 18 subjects on the excel document and so there are blanks next to these subjects.

 

This is what it currently looks like:

 

Before Merge 

Art   <<ART>>

Drama <<Drama>>

 

After Merge

Art       A grade

Drama 

 

Is there a way I can remove the whole row, if the field is blank on excel?

 

Many thanks,

Katie

OMML equation editor has issues with some operators when displayed in inline mode

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 02:58 AM PST

OMML equation editor in MS Word 2013 has issues with some operators when they are displayed in inline mode. The issues are also present in Word 2010 - see this thread, and probably also in Word 2007.

For example, the following formula contains the summation operator with lower and upper limit.  In display mode the limits are displayed below and above the operator:

But when the same equation is in inline mode, for example as part of a fraction operator, the lower and upper limits are displayed as indices of the operator, which looks ugly:

The same happens with other "large" operators (product, co-product, union, intersection) and integral operators.

Currently it seems that the only workaround is to use Microsoft Equation 3.0 for entering formulas (Insert -> Object -> Object -> Microsoft Equation 3.0):


BTW, the OMML equations saved in a DOCX file look fine when opened in LibreOffice Writer 4.1, and you can edit them:

(On the other hand, it seems LibreOffice has issues with formulas written in Microsoft Equation 3.0.)

I wonder why Microsoft developers have not fixed this issue in OMML equation editor in two Office versions since Office 2007 which introduced the new editor?

Yes. the problem seems to be because you have upgraded to IE 7. Looks

To work around this i would try pasting in an intermediate program (Word pad

this helps.

This article may help, to create from a clean template:

Works: How to change the default font in the Word Processor
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=250307

Sounds like you may have residual formatting, left over from the
default template set up, in your document.

Perhaps, when your template is first opened,

Select all.

Select and set the formatting and font required.

Resave as template.

HTH,

Error pasting Word back into Works 7.0 database - <picture> instea

Posted: 10 Sep 2006 01:33 PM PDT

Thanks for your reply, glad to hear it worked.

Re: Why does it post a marker instead of the data?

Reply: Not sure, think it has something to do with the way Word formats it's
text, seems NotePad removes all formatting.

I can also copy from Word to Works Word processor, then copy/paste into
Database.

Assume you have Works Suite which uses Word and hides Works Word processor.

To gain access to Works Word processor, search for WksWP.exe, right click
it, select Send To, on the expanding menu choose Desktop (create shortcut).
Open Works Word processor from Desktop icon.

I like the simplicity of Works Word processor and it has the ability to
address envelopes from the Address Book, also find making Labels easier.

Generally Works will open files a version or two back, but they've tinkered
with it a lot over the years. Also, there are some downloadable viewers that
let you open and copy older files but it's a bit hit and miss.

Can you print from other programs e.g. Notepad? Is it just one

Works 4.5a DB Report Printing Problem...Out of Memory

Posted: 01 Sep 2006 10:42 PM PDT

Hi Michael:

I found the problem....it's an HP 33x0 printer driver issue with Works 4.5a.
I have an HP3310 all-in-one printer (great printer/scanner/fax, btw). I get
an "out of memory" error if this is the default printer. What I did was to
make my Adobe Acrobat software my default printer. I can now print my Works
4.5a document out to a PDF file and then send it to the HP 3310 printer from
there. Very strange but that's the problem.

Thanks for trying to help!

Another Data Migration Question

Posted: 05 Aug 2004 11:49 AM PDT

Just to add a bit more.

Judging on what you've said, perhaps the easiest "basic" tool to access data
(even DBF) and export to other tables without being too complicated is
probably MS Access, will tap right into DBF no problems if you take a copy
of the data for setting up your own scripting.

Without doing the MS course or consultancy you are DEFINITELY going to have
CDF/DMF problems and I'd advise you best to stick to a 3rd party tool unless
you are very confident with it already.

lets just say I would be suprised if it wasn't. This is a very common

expecting to see siginificantly more security options in the next release of
Microsoft CRM. We'll know more as we get closer to a release date.

hiding 'Canned' CRM reports

Posted: 04 Aug 2004 07:36 AM PDT

This tool will only allow you to Add, remove and rename the reports. It will
not allow you to keep reports in some sort of hidden area. Best
recommendation would be to have users only run reports in the miscellaneous
reports folder and move reports into there as required. Microsoft ships 119
reports with the Microsoft CRM product. Typically you may find you need only
a few reports. As the Miscallaneous Sales Reports folder is always empty by
default this is a good place to store the reports your company uses.

It would be great if the next Microsoft CRM release allowed you to create
your own report folders.
