Workflow generated email for reassignment of Opportunity

Posted: 01 Nov 2004 02:49 PM PST

Another option that I just discovered....

If you do not use a template, you should be able to use a "slug" in the email
activity. For example, if you put in &account.name; then that value will get
the name of the account.

The slugs aren't currently supported and you have to manually enter them, so
make sure you use the correct table/column names.

Actually, you can send email to designated recipients with Workfow, you just
can't use a template. For some reason, it was setup this way. You could code a

you want and that code could use a template. Otherwise, you can just send a
generic msg that an opportunity ws assigned and send that.

MS CRM for Standalone

Posted: 01 Nov 2004 11:22 AM PST

Well if your refering to being able to take your data on the road with you,
yes you can go offline and pretty much have all the features as the CRM as
far as sales are concerned. Then if you added or changed the data like add
leads etc you will need to sync with the CRM just go on-line

Matt,
(re) reading chap. 13 (installing CRM on win2k3), I see that it says "Domain
Users" group must be given access to the CRM dbs prior to adding users to
CRM. I didn't do this. Would this be a problem?
Also, I'm installing the Adworks CRM on a test server that doesn't have

New Security Roles: how to make them work?

Posted: 29 Oct 2004 02:50 AM PDT

Were the roles created after data already existed in the system? Changes to
Roles sometimes do not propogate to existing records properly. They also do not
take effect immediately. Once you make a change, a background process needs to
go through and update the SecurityDescriptor on every record in the database to
implement the changed rights. This process sometimes fails and on a large
database can take hours to complete.

Try taking a record where the security seems to be wrong, assign it to a nother
user, then assign it back to the original user. Then see if the security seems
"correct". If so, then you will need to contact MSFT support. I beleive they
have a utility for fixingin corrupt security descriptors.

macros disappear when user downloads template

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:45 PM PST

Dear Friends:

I am nvolved in a volunteer project where macro-embedded templates are downloaded by users to do a variety of processes across different versions of Word.

A user with Windows 7 and Word 2010 has been regularly downloading and easily installing macro embedded templates for this project including an earlier version of the macro that we are using.  He has been properly converting *.dot macros produced on pre-XML  Word computers into *.dotm and they have been running on his computer with the macros in them.

Last week we found that a template he was using had defects in it because the original author had defects in his normal.dot.   

I rebuilt this macro on my computer, which has Word 2013 running on Windows 8.1.   I emailed him a copy of this macro as an attachment.   However, he has not been able to make it run.

I have done several prolonged team viewer sessions with him trying to find the problem.  I am aware that to launch a downloaded template it is necessary to right-click on the tempklate to install it in word because left clicking on creates a file based on it that does not hold the template.  The test of this is the file name,.  If you open the file and the file has the samne name in word as the file should have you are doing right.    I am also aware of the fact that you must manually check to make sure upon installation Word has stored the template in the proper file.

I have also checked the trust center settings for this user.  They are the proper one "Disable all macros with notification." which should give a warning prompting a user to enable the macros after the file is opened for the first time.

Yet, successively,  I have found that on his own computer this user could not find macros in the template or when opening files based on this template.

We have also tried having him email me back the templates after such failures.  Each time the template has had the macros in them once downloaded to my computer/

Help?  Believe this must be a problem of settings on the user's Word 2010

Starting Office 2013 is slow after installing SP1

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 11:38 AM PST

Hello,

Since I have installed Service Pack 1 earlier today, it now takes a while (like 30 seconds) before Office opens up maximized.

To be specific, I can describe the problem as follows:

When I startup my computer, sign in and double click the Outlook 2013 icon, it appears in my task bar. In stead of displaying the screen "Loading profile" it directly minimizes to my task bar. Hovering on this icon displays an empty Aero Peek screen.

It will take like 30 seconds before I can maximize Outook and start using it.

This issue has clearly been caused by the SP1 update, because earlier today I didn't have any problems at all.

Is someone familiar with this problem and could you provide me a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Joost van der Linden

MS Office Word: Keyboard short to indicate where cursor is

Why won't openning a new document give me user templates?

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:10 AM PST

I'm demo'ing 365 and have been using 2010. In 2010, when I create a new document, there's an option at the top to choose user templates. They should be automatic, though that's another topic, but at least I quickly get to them.

when I choose New in Word 2013, I don't see anything to let me get to my templates. Instead, it's a whole bunch of useless templates MS has chosen to vomit at me. I scroll down and it keeps on adding those.

I checked File Locations and it imported from 2010 the correct path for User Templates, so why is 2013 not showing me my user templates?

Cannot open or print multiple documents in Word

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 10:03 AM PST

I need to be able open or print multiple documents at one time in Word 2010 on a Windows 7 PC. When I right-click on a document in the Open dialog box, the context menu comes up but I get the error "The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open.  Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue."  I previously had this version installed on an XP computer. It had the same problem but I could get around it by selecting "Print" from the Tools menu.  They would then print out of order but they printed.  That option is no longer available in Windows 7. The only option from the tools menu is "Map Network Drive".  I can print from outside Word but doing so is slow and tedious as it opens and closes every document and starts giving me problems if I try to print more than five at a time. 

I know others have had similar problems but none of the solutions I've found have helped.  I don't have Norton (or any antivirus software) installed. (It's a new PC and I'm trying to get everything working before I install antivirus software.) There are no add-ins in startup. I've also tried running as an Administrator, running in safe mode, repairing Word, and when that didn't work uninstalling and reinstalling.  I even consulted with a Microsoft tech, who couldn't help and told me I'd have to pay for premium support (I can't afford it and my boss will never agree to cover it.). 

This is only happening in Word. Excel works fine.

I'm just frustrated enough to consider "downgrading" back to Office 2000.  This is only one of several issues I have with 2010 but it's the most frustrating and time-consuming of the bunch.

Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

When using this laptop for a while with memory-intensive jobs like video editing, it's kinda understandable that it shuts down when it overheats. But with Word 2007? Why is this so?

In comparison, I can have Chrome or Firefox open with a lot of tabs while video or music is playing in the background, and it rarely shuts-down-when-overheating.

Anyway, what can I turn off in Word to make it use less resources?

And we have an option to set the cache for our webapplication either to use filestorage or sharepoint storage.

Again the same addin works perfectly with filestorage cache but the same doesn't work with sharepoint storage. the problem is when we create the new documents using the templates it produces the new word document, once it is created and opened, the parent word document and the intermediate dialog window should get close but  instead it hangs both of them. when i try to close it explicitly it says word has stopped working. And am using sharepoint 2010 the same is not working with sharepoint 2013 as well.

I have posted in the forum before but I haven't got the response yet. please help me this is a major and critical issue for us.

In Project how do I get a task to start on the weekend.

Posted: 25 Mar 2005 04:17 PM PST

Adding to the other comments, the best way to use MS Project is NOT to try
to input task schedules yourself, whether you're trying to tell it to start
the task on the weekend or some other time. Project's job is not to parrot
back at you the dates you have determined you want tasks to occur. You
don't tell Project when you plan to do the tasks, it's job is to tell YOU
when you should be planning to do them.

A far better way than what I think you're doing is to tell Project
generically when tasks can take place (the calendar found in Tools,
ChangeWorkingTime and setting it to be the Project Calendar), what tasks
need to take place, the expended length of time each will take to complete,
and the relationships expressed through the links. The Start and Finish
fields are *calculated* fields and Project's calculation of them tell you
when they can be scheduled.

Sorry, I don't know if MS is planning on fixing the problem they acknowledge
in the KB article. Perhaps in a future SP but as stated in the KB article
the problem is related to an attempt to make MS Project 2002 compatible with
older operating systems.

Assigning a resource to a task that has a predecessor changes fini

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 11:21 PM PST

hi Bandu Patil,

Schedule is calculated by counting the amount of active working time between
the scheduled start and end of the task for the assigned resources. It is
when you assign resources that the Duration gets calculated. For example,
Chris is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday. Jamie is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task
on Wednesday and Thursday. Sean is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal"
task on the following Monday and Tuesday. The working span of the "Write
proposal" task, and therefore its duration, is five days (Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday).

The important thing to note is that Schedule is worked out when Resources
are assigned. That is, the active working time of resources contributes to
the schedule.

Regards,

Haris

Completed task still show in the resource view as work?

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 08:09 AM PST

Hi,

I'm glad you solved your problem but I must admit you mention a few things
that I don't get.
I don't have a "Resource View" in Project.
If you mean Resource Usage, it does show finished tasks as well ... unless
you use a filter, and what it shows then depends on the filter.
For instance if you use the "Work Incomplete" filter a finished task will
not show, even when the finishing date lies in the future.
Are you working with a filter of your own making?

Microsoft Word - MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Microsoft Word - MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

MS Office Word cannot open files created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 01:05 PM PST

It's a multi-OS environment and unless there's a rapid fix then we'll be going entirely to OpenOffice/LibreOffice very soon.  Zero chance of ditching the Linux machines running LibreOffice for an all MS environment. 

Also, when opening files created in LibreOffice Impress that were saved in .ppt format (because MS Office is completely helpless to open LibreOffice files at all when they're saved in their native format, even though Impress can open any Powerpoint file with no problem) when they open the text is often screwy and everything has the squiggly red spell-check line underneath it.  

Office 365 Home Premium: what happened to streamed applications like Word & Excel?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 12:26 PM PST

What happened to streamed applications? I was using Microsoft Word and Excel just last Friday as streamed applications (which I love and need) and now I can't find the link for this anywhere.

I am NOT looking to install office. I'm talking about the streamed applications (I don't know MS terminology -- "on demand"?). All I know is when I logged on to Office.com there were links to stream the applications about halfway down the page. Now everything is changed (and messed up) on that page.

Help! I have a deadline!

Thank you,

Mark

Formatting the List of Figures/Tables

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 12:22 PM PST

I was wondering about formatting the Table of Figures.  I used all of the built in capability for creating the caption and the Table of Figures.  When I do, I get something like this for long captions:

Figure 1.1 This is a very

long caption..........................2

(In case the formatting of my sample does not show, in the second line of the caption, the word 'long' is directly under 'Figure' in the line above)

I was wondering if there is an easy was to get the second line aligned with the beginning of the caption text:

Figure 1.1 This is a very

                 long caption....2

(Again, in case the formatting of my sample does not show, in the second line of the caption, the word 'long' is now directly under 'This' in the line above)

Finally, is there an easy way to remove 'Figure' from the Table of Figures and just leave the number (so 1.1 instead of Figure 1.1), but of course leaving the number in the actual caption where the figure in shown?

Thanks,

DJ

Replacement Normal.dotm file not being loaded by word

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:29 AM PST

We have a group policy that replaces everyone's Normal.dotm file with a company letterhead file. The file is getting pushed to the workstation in the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates folder (Windows 7) but when they open Word they get a blank file. Renaming the Normal.dotm file on their computer to something like Normal2.dotm will allow me to open it and see that the letterhead information is in there.

The strange thing is that it doesn't work for some people but does for others.

The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:29 AM PST

Hey Jeeped--

So I have a problem with a Word Document of mine and I had seen that you had responded to some similar problems with successful solutions. I didn't know how else you contact you personally so I hope you (any everyone else) are not bothered by my not-pertinent comment. If there is a better way to correspond with you please let me know! In the meantime, if you would be so kind, i had a super important inquiry:

I have been working on a word document (class notes for a Business Associations class) since January 1, 2014. I have never had any problems regarding opening the document and such. Today, as I was opening the document, I got the following message:

"The File BATWO cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."

When I open the "Details" it specifies that "the file is corrupt and cannot be opened."

Finally, when I click "OK," it tells me that "word found unreadable content in BATWO. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If your trust the source of this document, click Yes."

When I click yes it simply goes back to the first message saying that the file cannot be opened.

I have put a lot of work into these notes and I have tried many of the options I have seen (including some of yours). However, it has been to no avail. Could you please help me out here?

With Microsoft Office available for free on outlook accounts what's the use of buying the entire Office 2013/2010 suite??

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 11:13 AM PST

I spent quite a sum buying the Office 2010 Professional plus 3 years ago along with Windows 7 Ultimate. Now that Microsoft  has made Word, Excel free for all outlook accounts, I feel betrayed. Most of my work is done using Word/Excel and sometimes PPT. But now by making it free, I cannot actually trust Microsoft with another new product. what are the chances I'm not being taken for a ride?? Say if I buy this new product today, they may make it free online  tomorrow . Anybody with an Internet connection (almost everyone with a computer or mobile phone has one) can make documents/Excel spreadsheets at no real cost.

That isn't fair...

Also what's the point in still advertising Office 365 or 2013 when you've distributed that same product online for free??

I really can't imagine what's going on within Microsoft at the moment. I can only think of one good reason why they've decided to make Word/Excel free - to counter Google docs. It's really pitiful to see that instead of coming up with a better solution Microsoft have settled for a fistfight with Google. Microsoft must listen to their customers. They can't go on behaving arrogantly forever. they must realise that their customers are their lifeblood. Once you lose their trust you can't go on for long. For starters, why not show your solidarity to your loyal customers by supporting Windows 7 with a new service pack(Windows XP had three!!)??

Will these guys ever learn??

Theme change is not sticking in Microsoft Word (Office 365)

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 10:22 AM PST

I am trying to change the theme in MS Word (Office 365 Home Premium), but when I select Dark Gray nothing happens. I have changed it under Account and under Options, and although the Dark Gray theme appears as a selection in both places, the color has not changed. I have closed and re-opened Word. Any more suggestions? The white theme is making me crazy. ;-)

Thanks,

Issues with Word 2013 and Onedrive

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 09:30 AM PST

My company and I are having the following issue: Microsoft Word 2013 crashes repeatedly when working together or alone on a shared document with Onedrive.

Each of us are working on different computers in different regional offices; however, we are all using Word 2013. I know that there is an option to work on the document via the web but we've chosen to edit in Word since it is easier to format. Also, Word crashes when scrolling, saving (uploading to Onedrive), or typing. It will state that word has stopped responding and will try to resolve the issue. Word will then close out completely with or without restarting us back in the original document. This happens when only one person is editing the shared document as well as when we are all working together. 

Looking for suggestions or solutions and any assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated!

Formatting Page Numbers in a Table of Contents

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 09:10 AM PST

I am in a time crunch with my issue. I am sure there are threads out there that I can reference but I do not have the time to do so. I need to know how to format the pages numbers within a table of contetns to reflect the page numbers in a document. The document has multiple sections and the pages are numbered by section; for example, the pages in section 1 are numbered 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc. How can I get the table of contents to insert the page numbers in this way?

Thanks you very much in advance!

Bibliography Style missing in Word 2010

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:55 AM PST

Hi,

I'm using MS Office Professional Plus 2010 on a Windows 7, 64bit edition. In word, under the references tab, office says the Bibliography style is "missing".

Things I've tried to solve the issue, all without success:
Through control panel > Programs and Features
* "Change" MS office and re-installing the plug-in for bibliography
* "Repair" MS office

I've installed Service Pack 2 for MS office 2010 on my pc, no sign of Service Pack 1 though. Could this be the issue?

Thanks for your help.

Hidden field code

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 08:36 AM PST

I have a document with a {DOCPROPERTY "DocID"} code in it and for some reason the results are hidden.  I can display the actual code by using Alt+F9 but the results will not display.  I checked the format and it is not hidden text.  There are several other fields in this document (TOC and Date/Time) that are displaying without problems.  I've tried removing the code and reinserting a new one but have the same results.

Ideas?

How do I unlock Word 2003?

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 07:43 AM PST

I have read the answers to similar questions and they didn't work.

Word 2003 is activated and has been since I instilled it.

I use it everyday constantly and have used it thousands of times. It is not any kind of trial version. I bought it in a store a long time ago (2003). I just tried to create a PDF and got the locked (by me) message (nothing about password). I've created hundreds of PDFs and it has never done this before.

Can someone give me step by step e.g. 1, 2, 3, instructions to unlock it?

This is the question: Can someone give me step by step e.g. 1, 2, 3, instructions to unlock it?

Vertical Scrolling Disabled

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 07:20 AM PST

Every time I start a new document in MS Word 2013, the vertical scrolling is disabled. I have to go through the hassle of selecting "Options" from the file menu, clicking "Advanced," and then scrolling down to the "Display" section and selecting "Show vertical scroll bar." 

Is there a way to make vertical scrolling a default setting? Or at least a way to customize my toolbar to allow me to display the vertical scroll bar without going through the elaborate mechanism of going through the "Options" menu?

Word embeded image dates

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 06:30 AM PST

when adding images to a docx or odt file type they are stored in the xml as images dated 1899.

 

why is this?

 

to replicate:

create any Office document, Word, Excel or PowerPoint

copy a image or image crop from another application like MS Paint

paste into document

save & close application

 

copy resulting file and rename extension of file to zip

open zip

explore zip content for folder named 'media'

open 'media' folder and note list of images and the date modified.

 

The above also applies to an image 'inserted' into the document.

 

applies to Office 2010 and Office 2013

Highlighting text

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 05:03 AM PST

I have a 2,000+ page document which uses highlighting for specific texts.  I want to make the document available to others, but want to remove the highlighting first.  When I attempt to select the entire text and NO COLOR the document does not change existing highlighting.  It actually makes the highlighting unchangeable.  When I use the same feature on specific texts it works for two times then freezes the highlighting also.  I think the length of the DOCX may be part of the problem.  Got any ideas?

Linking Templates

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 04:30 AM PST

Hi All,

I have asked this question before, and I did not really understand the response (my limited knowledge, has anybody got a step by step guide, on how to create a template from an existing template and linking them,

So for instance I was to change the LOGO - in all linked templates the LOGO would update?

Referencing in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Mar 2014 04:17 AM PST

I have been writing a word document for a university report successfully referencing my material by adding a reference, then selecting "insert citation".

It would then display in the document in the normal style..

(Cartledge, 2012) and the reference table at the bottom of my document would display properly.

However, I have just had to repair my office 2013 product due to the document not displaying all the pages whilst still remaining the same file size and displaying all words in the word count.

I have still found a way around this problem by saving the file to 2003 format and then copy/pasting then information into a new document.

But when I try to re-insert the references they will now not display properly. They show up as 

{CITATION dav03\|2057}

It appears in this format in the document and in the bibliography at the bottom. I have tried adding new sources, using my previous master list sources.

This is really frustrating me now.

Advanced nested TOC

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 09:26 PM PST

I wish to create a document with 3 levels of TOC's -

The document is organized into "Titles," then "Chapters," and inside that "Sections."

So I would like to create automatic TOC's in the following order: (smallest and deepest first)

First for the "Sections" - Next for the "Chapters" which contain multiple "Sections" - and then a final main TOC which includes both the "Titles" and the H1 Tag for the "Chapters"

Can get it all to work with bookmarks for the "Titles" - and use the b\ switch to display the TOC for each bookmark...

But then to get the "Sections" to display inside the "Chapters" works until I run out of alphabet (26 variables) for the TC field code - so I am wondering if there is another way to create inside TOC???

Any input will be greatly appreciated...

Bold Numbers in TOC

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 06:07 PM PST

I have a TOC: {TOC \H\Z\T "HEADINGS 1,1,HEADINGS 2,2,HEADINGS 3,3"}. My level 1, 2, and 3 headings come out with bold numbers and bold text as I intended. When I update the TOC, the level 1 and level 2 numbers in the TOC become bold which I don't want. I've spent hours trying to unbold the numbers without messing up the TOC to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help!

Why is Word 365 on the desktop so slow?

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 05:57 PM PST

Word 365 on the desktop is almost unusable because of it's slowness.

On all documents it just takes for ever to do anything: Typing, moving the cursor etc.

Is there a reason for this?

Is there a fix?

I don't have this problem in Word 2007.

Thanks

Is there a way to have a different amount of space before or after a paragraph depending on the style of the following or preceding paragraph?

Posted: 02 Mar 2014 04:53 PM PST

I am building a template for my thesis, which will be a long document with multi-level numbered headings. I've modified the paragraph settings of my headings and body paragraphs as follows: 1.5 line spacing throughout (required to allow thesis examiners room to scribble...), 6pt spacing before and after all headings, and 12pt spacing after body paragraphs.

I was hoping to increase the space after body paragraphs that are followed by headings, to improve readability by better separating the different sections of the document. Currently, the spacing between a body paragraph and the heading below it is 12pt, as dictated by the space after body paragraphs. Basically, I would like the spacing between my body paragraphs to remain at 12pt, but the spacing between a body paragraph and a heading below it to increase to say 20pt. If I increase the spacing before the headings, it gives me too much white space when there is no body text between two heading levels. If I use the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style option", there is no clear break between my body text paragraphs.

Is there a way to change the amount of space added before or after a paragraph based on what the style of the following or preceding paragraph is? Or any other suggestions on how I could achieve this effect? (The best I've come up with so far is to have a separate style for the last paragraph before headings, but that's awkward with all the revisions.)

Thank you for any suggestions,

Audrey
