Works document disappeared!!

Posted: 25 Apr 2007 09:15 AM PDT

Hi Riley:

I can change the font color of all characters in a Works 7.0
Word-Processing document with this sequence of keystrokes:

Ctrl+A, Alt+O, F, Alt+C, W, Enter.

Is this the key sequence to which you refer, or is there another?
I'm motivated to ask because I find it odd to think that people
could type that sequence unintentionally.

Using Word documents in Works 8

Posted: 22 Apr 2007 04:22 PM PDT

If your son is a student, buy a copy of Works Suite that comes with
Word...or Office. You will never be happy with converting Word docs to wps
or rtf format, or the other way around, or with the formatting losses when
trying to use alternatives such as OpenOffice.

How Do I Get Pasted Text To Take On New Format?

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 11:30 PM PDT

The Paste Special works for me in my Works 6. I don't know what version
you are using.

One thing to be aware of when pasting, is that the font for a blank area
may be different than the nearby text. For a test, try doing the paste
special into the middle of a word and see if the new text takes on the
correct font of the word.

Subtotals in Works 8 Database

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 10:36 AM PDT

Spot on Ken, it appears that I created that database in April 2004.

Please note that the Sub-total of the item Quantity counts the item types
and is not meant to sum the quantity of Items in each group.

For that you would SUM the Quantity field and not COUNT it as I have
illustrated.

Metadata on Works files

Posted: 11 Apr 2007 09:56 AM PDT

I don't think Works does that. Looking at my Works (version 6), there
doesn't seem to be anything like the Word: File, Properties option.

The CD should have the correct last updated date/time. But that
information is lost when you send via e-mail.

Font problem with Works 8 word processor

Posted: 11 Apr 2007 05:48 AM PDT

Good evening,


Thank you all very much for your help.

Indeed, as I need to print a lot ( I'm a student and I type each
lesson I have on my notebook ) I had managed to recover ( to save from
the bin actually ) an old Star LC100 printer ( dot matrix printer ). I
doesn't cost me a penny ( or an euro ) to print pages and pages so it
is very useful to me.

And indeed, after I had changed the printer's resolution, all the
characters have appeared clearly.

Thank you very much for this ; I wouldn't have thought the problem was
the printer !!



Regards,
Gabriel.

Works 8 Database

Posted: 09 Apr 2007 01:46 PM PDT

That's the nature of a CD. You can't update data, only add new files.
Even if you were to save using the same name (as some CD software
allows), the original file is still there, but it becomes inaccessible
except using special software. And every time you write files to CD you
can lose several MB to overhead.

A CD-R is write once.

A CD-RW is erasable. It acts like a CD-R for the most part, but you can
erase it (wiping out everything on it) and start over.

A CD is not suitable for files that you update frequently. It's best
for periodic backups or files that are updated rarely.

Microsoft Word - text box properties not document properties

Microsoft Word - text box properties not document properties

text box properties not document properties

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 02:09 PM PST

Office 07 on Windows 7 64 bit.  I ran into a conundrum earlier which has me stumped.  Anyone have an answer?

 

While trouble shooting a textbox wordwrap issue on a template with a user, I discovered that I cannot access the properties of a textbox withing the template on my Win7-64 machine.  Each time I turn off protection, activate the design   mode and attempt to bring up the text box properties, the document properties are displayed.  Same results whether right clicking on any text box and choosing properites or selecting the text box and selecting properties on the developer tab, under design mode.

 

Document behaves as expected in Word 07 on a Win XP system.  Anyone else ran across this?  Is there a solution?

 

One additional note, the document in question is a 07 native format, dotx file.

 

Thanks for your input.

Indexing Problem: How to remove a large number of incorrect entries at one time

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 01:03 PM PST

I am indexing a large document, and have discovered that I have made a mistake on one index entry.  The mistake occurs at 70 places throughout the document.

How can I remove ALL of the 70 entries at one time, and start-over?

CAN I in fact remove the entire 70 entries at once, or must I go through the entire document and replace/correct each entry one at a time, which will be very time-consuming?

Thanks

Word 2010 mail merge with table - cell displays "system" character

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 12:20 PM PST

I have a series of mail merge word documents, all saved to be compatible back to Office 2003.  The letters contain various tables with cells that are formatted differently depending on the letters.  The mail merge documents use simple delimited text files as the different data sources.  When using Word 2010, any cell that has the formatting set to "Fit Text" displays some type of system character at the end of the mail merge field inside that cell and also prints out that character when merging to printer (or preview).  I can change the formatting on the cell to remove the "Fit Text" option and the character goes away but as soon as I turn that option on again the character is added.  Has anyone seen this problem or have a fix for this issue?  I can't remove the "Fit Text" option because the documents need to follow a strict format and since they are used by various users the documents must be compatible with prior versions of office.
Thanks

I am creating form in Office 2007 and have many tables with Text Form Fields.  Once the form is locked and is being filled in electronically, I need the text being entered to wrap and to shrink to fit into the cell.  I need the cell to stay fixed, but need to be able to see all of the text entered.  I want the text to shrink to fit the cell, I need my rows to remain static. 

IS THIS POSSIBLE?  From the reading I have done, I do not believe so but I really hope I am incorrect.

Requirement Spec unique numbering

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 01:02 AM PST

It is important in a requirements spec to uniquely identify each requirement.

I can use numbering whether headings or by creating custom numbering lists. The problem with both of those is that if new requirements are found later and added in an appropriate place it can throw out the numbering so that someone refferring to Reqt: PW098 in an original document would find that its number might be different in a subsequent document.

Does word have any way to manage this issue?

thanks in anticipation.

As I researched this problem before asking my question, I observed that this is a common question and the solution I just mentioned is virtually the only help offered.  This fix doesn't seem to work for others as well.  Can anyone please offer a better solution?

I am posting this under Microsoft Office Word only because there is no category which includes all office products.

normal.dot file on terminal server 2003

Posted: 22 Jan 2006 09:50 PM PST

Hopefully, someone else who is more knowledgable than I about
Terminal Server will chime in here with something more definitive.

I'm not sure if this will work in a TS environment, but this is
what I would try:
1. Log in to Windows as a user.
2. Start Word.
3. Click on Tools | Options | File Locations, change the
"Templates" folder to "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates", and
change the "Workgroup Templates" folder to the network folder
containing your other shared templates. This should allow you to
keep the shared templates in one place on the network, while
giving the user his/her own Normal.dot.
4. Close Word.
5. Start Word again.
6. Click on Tools | Templates and Addins | Organizer, and
copy the macros from the network Normal.dot to <username>
Normal.dot. If the macros assume that the Normal.dot file is in
the same folder as the shared templates, then you will need to
modify the macros to point to the Workgroup Templates folder for
the shared templates.
7. If everything works okay for the current user, then for
the other users, you just need to repeat steps 1 thru 4, and copy
the Normal.dot from the current user's profile to the other
users' profiles.

Resent unfortunuately has no impact in this situation, I think the position
comes down to the fact that you are expected to obtain the course content

manuals by attending the full course at something like 700 a time, or
perhaps like I suggested you might be able to sneak peak or temporarily
borrow from any colleague you have with the manuals?
This is in fact what I have done, this is different as they happen to be

something I should not have access to or breach copyright to be fair. Not
being judgemental, but I don't think this Microsoft monitored group is

Given how hard they are to obtain and costly, and given the DMF section is a

only commiserate that you cannot get hold of the manuals by another means -
but I can't imagine anyone will publically offer to help in this respect. MS
have to cover their costs which is another aspect to why it might seem
expensive, but it really isn't when you appreciate they have subsidised a
lot of the courses and content.

Think of it that the manuals are only something like only 3 times more than
the cost for you taking the exams, so if you were to fail the exams three
times that would have afforded you an official pair of manuals for the
install & config course.

Any way to set window size when tab is selected?

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 09:53 AM PDT

No, I simply wanted to resize the windows that was
currently active when they selected a tab that switched
over to my ASP.NET page (such as being in a Contact and
hitting a tab on the left side).

Curious Email behavior

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 07:25 AM PDT

In addition, you do need to set the CRMEmail advanced attribute for the user
that wants inbound email routed into CRM. This step is the same as setting up a
Queue email user. (Just don't "disable" the user :-) )

CRM, 

It uses the Email Router in CRM against your email server, and recognises
the GUID identifier hidden away far into the email title.
This is completely standard functionality.

If you also want to avoid converting ALL emails into CRM that pass through
the router by the way, you
have to check your personal options within CRM so it only actions against
emails about CRM records.

If the email has originated from CRM then any reply to the CRM user should
get created in CRM, as default behaviour.

The question relating to queues is unrelated to the main question you had,
but yes its setup correctly and should be disabled.

SFO synch questions

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 03:49 AM PDT

And the updates that are "played back" do not take into acount "when" the change
was made. Assume the following timeline of 2 users who are both Offline:

- User A changes a phone number on an Account
- User B changes the same phone number
- User B goes back online
- User A goes back online

In this case, it is User A's change that is kept as that was the last update
applied. It isn't standard SQL replication that has conflict resolution in it.

My understanding is as follows

When SFO syncronises with the CRM server it uses a method called 'playback'
to write changes only back to the CRM server. It syncronises at a field
level for only the modified records

The current issue with sync will only affect a record if the same field on
the same record is updated while the client is offline, as you already sound
aware of the issue, you should know that the client will always win in this
instance, but in the instance you're talking about by which different fields
on the same record are updated there should be no issue.

Jscript window opener

Posted: 26 Aug 2004 01:49 AM PDT

Hi Aaron,

Yes, I was using a button created in the ISV.config to
open a new window.

But I am still unable to get the crmForm value even with
WinMode=0, which is the default value.

Is there any other setting than WinMode that I have to
set?

My ISV.config line looks like this:
<Button Title="Print" Icon="whatever"
Url="http://crmserver/printreport.html" WinMode="0"/>

The printreport.html contains the jscript that uses the
window.opener to get the invoicenumber.

The jscript should be ok as it runs fine when activated
from a picklist in the Invoice Page.

Thanks for the input.

Question On Fields

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 03:39 PM PDT

I can only guess that the reason they provide 2 different options is to give you
a choice. Not everyone will use SIC codes and they may want a differnt list of
"industries" then what is provided. This way, they can use the Industry field
as they want to without "changing" what is considered a standard list.

If you don't need the INdustry field, then you should remove the one you don't
need via the form customizations.

But does not the SIC code also describe the industry and
sub category of the indsutry as well through the code or
is the industry code more for a custom internal code a
firm may use or a portion of the SIC code that a firm
might use.

Standardly we would use only the SIC code. So still a
bit confused.

CRM installed on a Domain Controller

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 02:48 PM PDT

There are a number of different ways to install the various components. The IG
is just that, a guide. There are many places that run AD & Exchange on the same
machine. If the client is concerned about AD crashing if Exchange goes down,
then they aren't going to be happy with a SBS installation either.

Bottom line is the client needs ot determine what's more important to them:
stability or price. if they want the stability, they are going to have to shell
out more money for additional servers.

crm browser deadlock

Posted: 25 Aug 2004 10:04 AM PDT

Thanks Alex.

This is very disappointing news. We encounter many
companies who have conservative controls over the upgrade
of their systems and are very slow to move off their NT
servers and subsequently still have many groups of NT
workstation clients.

The Implementation Guide covers the issues regarding co-
existence of Win 2K and NT in considerable detail - it
should be expected that some customers with NT servers
will still have NT workstations.

Are there ANY known instances of the unsupported running
of the CRM browser on NT workstation?

thx in advance,

Modifying Activities associated view

Thank you for your feedback.

I have no problem with loosing the changes to the view made when upgrading
to the next version of CRM. After all it's only a view, so no data will be
corrupted.
I will go ahead and make the modifications in my production environment.
