Microsoft have stated on the tech article for this issue that if you think

the next release. After all its seems crazy to be opening an old record to

Crystal Reports: Which Version?

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 03:58 PM PDT

Thanks John

That was not as bad as I thought.

Just for the record, here are some references that helped:

1. Chapter 5 in the Customization Training Kit has a excellent section on
setting up Crystal Reports to work with CRM. If I had not found this I would
have never figured out how to get CR to talk to CRM

2. FAQ about CRM 1.2 Reports
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834789). Download
the PDF for info on how to save your report to CRM

3. Tutorial in CR Help section.

If you've ever created a report in Access, the basic concept is the same in
CR, although not quite as intuitive (I still haven't figured out how to do a
left join, i.e., give me all the accounts regardless of whether they have an
associated contact.)

Thanks again for your help John.

Starting Over

Posted: 10 Aug 2004 03:40 PM PDT

Problem is fixed.

When I installed my DEV version of CRM I did not do an immediate backup. So
when I wanted to restore DEV to a pristine state, I used the backups from my
PROD CRM install (on which I did an immediate backup after installation).
From a SQL Server point of view, this restore was successful. However, CRM
would not start and generated login errors in Event Viewer. So I restored
again, this time using the earliest backup of the DEV CRM that I had. Now
CRM comes up fine, it's just not in a pristine state. But that's okay, it's
just DEV.

So I think the lesson here is that you cannot restore CRM from different
installations. I thought that since both DEV and PROD were in the same
domain and ran under the same domain account that I could restore one from
the other. CRM must be assigning some type of GUID so that each
installation is unique. I would be grateful if anyone can confirm this
assumption

One other lesson I learned. The import.xml that is included on the CD at:

D:\ENGLISH\CRM1.2\SERVER\SQL\SCRIPTS\1.0\IMPORTEXP ORT\IMPORT.XML

.... is for version 1.0 only. Apparently MS does not provide a base
configuration file for v 1.2.

So to make sure you can always "start over," immediately after a successful
install of CRM you should:
1. Back up your databases (minimum of MSCRM and METABASE)
2. Export a configuration file.
3. Copy your web site files.

Does anyone have comments or want to share their restore experinces?

One tip that I picked up from a Microsoft web conference:

If you look at the SDK, you will notice that you call the same code a lot -
this is because the classes are all derived from a base class. Especially,
you will call things like WhoAmI to get a CUserAuth object quite a lot.
What MBS did is to create a "user cache" of CUserAuth objects. You just
check the cache and if the user has a CUserAuth object in there then use it
instead of having to go through the WhoAmI stuff.

newly imported Contacts will be pushed into your default Outlook

Posted: 21 Sep 2005 12:52 PM PDT

Oh yeah...I am aware of that, but i am not sure I believe that in this case.
in OWA, when you create a new contact you use the same form on OWA that this
attachment opened in. Its not that OWA needs some work around to open it up,
it knows what it is and opens it in the correct form. It goes that far, why
just stop there. Your remark would indicate that a user is unable to create
contacts in OWA.

KB 888619 contains old versions of exchange files

Posted: 20 Sep 2005 08:03 PM PDT

Scott

I'm slightly confused by your response. you state that the files that have
changed are different. When I look I find two files listed in both articles
(store.exe and mdbmsg.dll). There isn't a list of files changed and a list of
files touched.

In short however you state I can install the patch over the one I already
have installed, and the newer files will not be overwritten. Meaning that the
newer version contains any fixes (or touches?) of the earlier versions.

What do you mean by "If people are doing the same thing on the back-end as
they do on the front-end, then the patch can easily go on both."? The hot fix
appears to be a patch for OWA. Are the files used by the backend when using
OWA on a front-end to access your mailbox? "Doing the same thing"?? please

Well, that may be understandable. If the MIME Content-type is

So it's not an Exchange problem, but an Outlook problem.
 

Yes, that's correct. But when you look at the MIME types for the
different body parts, what are the "Content-type" values for the
different ".p7s" attachments?
 

Sure. Have the chose a different extension for the attachment. They're
certainly free to use anything they like (they could even use .exe or
..com, but that would probably be an even worse choice!), but when they
do so they should be careful to select something without a widely
accepted meaning that differs from the intended purpose of the file.

Perhaps you ought to have your Exchange server hosted by somebody on the

either of those suggestions is far less kludgy than your line of thinking.

Separate headings for endnotes pages

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 11:51 AM PST

I've written a book with endnotes using World 2010 on a Windows 7 system. Following the directions of http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/FootnoteFAQContent.htm#TextAfterNotes I successfully inserted sections following the endnotes pages. But I've had trouble with the header for the pages containing the endnotes.

The endnotes appeared immediately after the text of the final chapter. Since that would be confusing, I set the section containing the final chapter to "suppress endnotes" in Page Layout|Page Setup|Layout and then at the end of the chapter text inserted a Section Break (Odd Page) code. This moved the notes to the next odd page.

However, I have a running header on the odd-numbered [facing] pages that shows the name of the current chapter. Of course I take care that "Link to Previous" is unchecked for odd-page headers in the Header and Footer Tools|Design tab. But even so, the notes pages had the name of the last chapter, and their header was linked to its and could not be independently changed, which was not what I needed.  

I decided that I would try inserting an extra blank section between the end of the final chapter text and the notes pages. This was difficult because Word always makes what seem to be arbitrary changes in the Section Break codes in complicated situations involving several different codes. What I finally wound up with was:

--End of chapter text
--Section Break (Continuous) code
--Blank line
--Section Break (Continuous) code (I think this is unnecessary, but Word won't let me delete it.)
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--Section Break (Continuous) code (I think this is unnecessary, but Word won't let me delete it.)
--"Notes" title
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--endnotes pages
--New section in which to insert bibliography and end matter

Each of the sections up to the "Notes" title was set to "suppress endnotes". It was only immediately after the "Notes" title that I unchecked "suppress endnotes".

At the blank line, I inserted page breaks (not section breaks) until I got to an odd page. I edited its header to uncheck "Link to Previous". Then I deleted all of the page breaks, leaving me with a section having just a single blank line between the end of the last-chapter text and the "Notes" title section. Then in the endnotes pages I was able to change the odd-page header without affecting the header in the last chapter.

The next time, doing it from scratch and not having to fight with Word so much on changing Section Break codes, I would try the following order:

--End of chapter text
--Section Break (Continuous) code
--Blank line
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--"Notes" title
--Section Break (Odd Page) code
--endnotes pages
--New section in which to insert bibliography and end matter

I'd be interested in any ideas anyone else may have about ways to do this.

But that's not the worst - after restarting, Word offers you some recovering options and there is an error with data: Available Files, name, version created ... 01.01.1601. 2:00 (that was 5 minutes, not 412 years ago).

microsoft office help viewer not responding (office 2007)

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 07:27 AM PST

When I click on the question mark in the upper right hand corner for help in word 2007 I get the help window with the table of contents .  When I try to enter in the search field I get no response. When I clic on the links in the table of contents, I still get no answer. The problem is the same for Excel and PowerPoint

I use Windows 7 64 bits.

I have tried to repair Office via panel control a few times with no impact in solving the issue. I also tried to rename the Microsoft Help files in Program Data and still no impact in correcting the situation.

I am still looking for solving the issue.

File Directory - All Caps

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 03:12 AM PST

Hello Gurus: 


I have a series of files in a file  directory which have been named  (by someone other than myself) using  all capital letters.   From a purely  aesthetic standpoint, I would like use a Word macro  to change all listed filenames within the file directory to  initial capitalization. 


Assuming that this is even possible, I would greatly appreciate  some assistance  in this regard.


Thanking you in advance for any insight, I remain...


Gratefully yours,


Mitch

Background Color

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 02:44 AM PST

I changed my desired page color in word 2007, the entire page got colored but when i printed it, the color border was uneven. As a result some part outside the  page border remained discolored while some part colored which is not desired so either tell me how to get a full page color printout or how to color within the border set for an A4 sized sheet.

 Eagerly waiting for response!!

Pipe symbols appearing intermittently in a large Word document (2007 & 2010 both versions)

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 12:40 AM PST

I have a large word document (about 140 pages). The problem I have is that Word keeps placing a pipe ( | ) symbol throughout the document. The pipes seem to act as a page break, but there are no other 'invisible' symbols like paragraph marks, etc., and using the menu to show invisible characters has no effect on the pipe symbols.

 

I can select them individually, but I can't copy / paste them into the search/replace tool, and there are several hundred instances, and new ones appear as the document grows. They appear intermittently, with no real rhyme or reason as far as I can see. Also, copying a small part of the document with the pipe symbols to a new file has no effect either.

 

Does anyone know WHY these pipe symbols are appearing, and HOW to work with them and remove them permanently? I have attached an image that shows the symbols on a random page.

 

Note: The document is a personal spanish / english dictionary, but I do not think the language is part of the issue.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Roger

 

Letter spacing

A font I am committed to has crowded letter spacing, especially in small caps. Is there a way to put a small space between adjacent letters?

Auto Complete for Dates Not Working

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:32 PM PST

I use Microsoft Office and Word 2007 and I.E 9 in Vista Home Premium.  After doing some "fixes" for other issues, I lost the feature of Auto Complete for dates.  I tried to restore to an earlier time and that did not fix it.  I also checked the AutoComplete in Internet Options and ran Malware. How can I restore the Auto Complete for dates?


Thanks,

Typo in Slovak localization of Word 2013

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 04:47 PM PST

Hello,

I have found a typo in Word 2013 with Slovak localization.


When I press Ctrl+F (search) and type "x", the search finds too many results so it does not display them. This is ok, no problem.

The problem is with the message I get about it: "nAk chcete vysledky..." There is letter "n" which should not be there. Other parts of the message are ok, it's just the letter "n" is not correct and I consider it as a typo.

Office 2007 shortcuts

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 03:39 PM PST

Who had the brilliant idea of changing the old so common shortcuts? How come my save command is now ctrl+F12 instead of ctrl+S, how come my ctrl-Z is now alt+BACK ??

And most importantly - How do I change it back??

Microsoft won't let me open downloaded documents!!!!

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 10:28 AM PST

So I have always downloaded documents from my school website and saved them.  For some reason now when I try to download documents or try to open saved documents that I previously downloaded window tells me "the document may be read only, or encrypted." or it also will say "cannot access document anymore as it may be locked, or corupted".  Help I really need these documents for school.  Also I tried using my roomate's computer and the documents download fine on hers and at the school.

Word 2013 Poor Font Rendering

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:42 AM PST

Just upgraded to Office 2013 from 2010 at work. I've made sure that Office 2013 has been updated.


I noticed that documents looked terrible in Word 2013 whereas they had looked fine in 2010.

Then I found that while font rendering in Word is poor, Excel is fine just as it was in 2010!


Here is an example.

Note how:

1. The word Hello is rendered differently in Word compared to Excel

2. The text AaBbCcDd is rendered differently in the Word document compared to the ribbon in Word

When a full document is viewed in Word 2013, the effect of this difference makes the document horrible to read.


If you zoom in on the image, it appears that Excel correctly uses ClearType with sub pixel rendering whereas Word does not and seems to use some form of grey scaling which looks terrible.


I've tried various advanced display options in Office 2013 including the one about using sub pixel rendering and hardware acceleration. None of them cause Word to correctly use ClearType.


Word 2013 is therefore incorrectly rendering the fonts in the document causing a very poor result which makes the document noticeably more difficult to read than any other text rendering in Windows or previous versions of Word.


There are some other threads which may be about this issue but still no resolution. I have put this clear example together to highlight just how obviously wrong Word 2013 is and therefore why this issue needs to be corrected.

How on earth do I get support from someone at Microsoft? I have an office 365 subscription, but try as I might . .

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST

. . I can't find a way to get help. Admittedly, I've found this box, but my hope of getting real support from someone at Microsoft is low. Microsoft, prove me wrong!

The problem (apart from being unable to contact support) is as follows. In Word, the busy pointer - the circle - appears nearly always when I navigate within the document (by pressing the cursor keys). This is irritating and I suspect it is not by design. I have a powerful, clean computer, and I don't think the problem is (as the web suggests it often is) with the printer driver. I'll supply more details on request. I look forward to hearing from you.

Printing specific pages in a merged document

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:39 AM PST

I created a merge document and have saved the file.  I am able to print the entire document, but unable to print "current page" or a selected number of pages, ie: 1,5,9,13.  I have tried different printers and computers to no avail.  Can anyone suggest a fix?  Thank you

List Justification problem in Word

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 04:11 AM PST

I often create documents which are primarily lists where I want to format using Word bullets or numbering with a 'heading' line followed by the 'details' starting on the following line.  To do this you have to use Ctrl+Enter to avoid the 'heading' being a separate number from the 'details'.  This is OK until you decide to Justify the text as then the 'heading' is justified, which looks awful.  For example: 
Apart from making every 'detail' section a sub-para I can't find a way of doing this.  Can anyone else help?

Workflow in Word and OneNote

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 03:03 AM PST

Hello all.

There's something I've been wondering about regarding my workflow in Microsoft Office.

Let me describe what I'm currently doing.

I'm preparing for an exam as a guide of a certain route. I'm going through a document I previously collaborated on with my co-students and translating each of its 30 different segments into the language I'll be taking the exam in. I'm also jotting down summaries and key figures for each leg.

Originally I started out working on each segment separately, each on its own Onenote page. I haven't used Onenote before and figured it'd be relatively easy to tag the texts somehow and then make Onenote export Word documents based on the tags (one with the translations and one with the summaries). This would mean I could reuse my work easily going forward, re-ordering the Onenote pages with searches and combining them with new ones for other different routes once I actually started working as a guide.

It's becoming clear that the program doesn't actually support this.

So I think my strategy will be to just have three different Word files open simultaneously on my screen and switching between them. This is okay but it won't really be the start of the database I was so looking forward to. In the future I'll have to go through these files and manually cut and paste them into new documents, also there'll be no connection between the file with the full texts and the file with the summaries. This is daunting because on my computer I've already got hundreds of different files by myself and others with various types of information; it'd be so very useful to be able to query them based on tags, and to have unprocessed information separate from the info I've gone over and made summaries of, &c.

Is there anybody on here who's faced and solved similar problems?

Thanks for your time.

How do I insert an envelope at the END of a document instead of the beginning (Word 2010)?

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 06:52 PM PST

When I use ADD TO DOCUMENT, no matter where my cursor is, the envelope is added at the beginning of the document.  The only way I seem to be able to get it at the end of the document is to set it up from scratch.  I have tried to copy and paste the format from other documents which miraculously have their envelopes at the end of the document, but no amount of coaxing using paste options will make it work.

Would appreciate any help.

Regards, Michelle

Word 2013 insufficient memory to update the display

Posted: 28 Nov 2013 03:40 PM PST

Hi everyone
When I open a certain document in Word 2013 (not all docs, just this specific one), Word says "There is not enough memory or disk space to update the display". I can open the doc but I am having lots of trouble editing it - Word crashes, fails to save, etc.
I am working on Windows 8, with Word 2013. I have only had this computer 3 months, so there is plenty of memory and disk space on the computer.

Any one had this problem? How does one sort it out?
