Include activities created by the workflow

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 11:44 AM PST

Do you have any other rules or custom apps making activities for cases? If
you have multiple rules for cases, you can use the workflow monitor to see
what is happening, or simply deactivate all other rules for a while and see
if you can get the one rule to work. If you do not have other rules, I can't
think what could be wrong. I would try a few more configurations. If you
still can't get it to work, I would open a case with MBS support. Good luck!
(And when you do get this resolved, be sure to update this thread on the
newsgroup for others to reference!)

Copying Address Fields into More Addresses Side Tabs

Thanks Matt,

I am aware of the LookupAddress button.I was trying to copy a shipTo -

function to the checkbox that one sees in web-based forms.(BillTo same
as ShipTo).At that point the address does not exist so a lookupaddress

Yes I am able to access the fields in the tabs across the top of the

What I wanted to know was if there is a way (in javascript)
to access those fields in the resulting detail page of the More
Addresses grid.
Similar to the way one copies some field values to a custom aspx form.

SDK bug

In this particular case I found out when we were issued a rollup hotfix that was
for several different issues. One of the things fixed was allowing the $0 price
per unit.

Unfortunately, the hotfixes are not widely publicized. Usually, you need to
open a support ticket and if there is a hotfix for that issue, they will provide
it to you.

How can I show Fields from the Contract Form on the Case Form ?

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 08:01 AM PST

Unfortunately, you can't.

Mappings only impact the initial creation of a record when it is created "from"
another record. Cases aren't created "from" a Contract so the mapping will
never fire.

You could do something with workflow & a PostURL action or a post-Callout to
process this update though if you really need it.

Users from child business unit is having trouble accessing the crm

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 06:13 AM PST

Hi Ann,

See the time this posted, and I bet the problem has resolved on its own???

If you have data in MSCRM and you create a new role and then assign users
immediately they will be denied access in the way you describe. This is
because MSCRM has to re-write the "security descriptor" column on every
record in your DB to accommodate your new role.

You can see in your CRM Server Event log when the process is complete (an
event is written at completion).

Best practice is not to add a new role and relate users to it during
production time. TTYL. Linda

Problem sending email via Exchange

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 02:31 AM PST

Gil,

I'd double check the CRM Server as well. Also, just to make sure, where is the
email being sent from, the web client or SFO?

If it's SFO, can you send from the web client? Also, is it just that one client
machine?

CRM & IBF: Doesn't pull tags properly

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 06:31 AM PST

oooh boy. I guess I'll have to 'tilt at windmills' then.

Since I posted, I've done a few things:
- I've figured out how to customize the document with a letterhead. It's
just a Word doc for things like that <grin>
- When opened outside of CRM there is a smart tag called
"CompanyNameSmartTag" that doesn't connect to anything. :(

I think a call to MS is going to be in order.

It is defintely possible that ISA caused some problems. One relatively easy
thing to try would be to uninstall CRM (just the app, not the databases). Then,
you can re-install it by pointing to the existing DB'a & AD hierarchy (vs.
creating new ones). This would let the install try to make things right on the
CRM server again if ISA changed something on you.

adding another options into field in the workflow manager

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 05:21 AM PST

At that point in your workflow you can point to another manual rule that says
if the status is "On Hold" then wait 15 days and fire another rule. The next
rule would say "If status equals In Progress, then create task (sales rep
confirms status of case), else send email to manager."

I've found that for a lot of these situations it is easiest for me to design
my workflow using several rules that check a condition and then perform an
action. The rules all get called in order and move to the next rule if the
condition is met or the time has expired.

By the way, CRM workflow currently does not recognize date functions...

All Office Apps Work Except Word 2013

Posted: 07 May 2014 11:06 AM PDT

It has been months since I have able to properly use MS Word 2013 on my home computer. I purchased Office Home & Student 2013 in January, and have been having problems with Word since February.

I have repaired (the quick and the long repair), uninstalled and reinstalled Office, checked for Add-Ons (there are none, disabled or otherwise), checked the box next to "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" under Options-->Advanced, tried to reset my computer to a earlier version, installed all available updates, etc. NOTHING works.

The other applications open immediately, but Word does not open fully. The application shows on the bar at the base of my computer screen, but does not open fully. The application functions (fully opens) in Safe mode (which is how I checked for add-ons) but the window refuses to open fully when I attempt to start Word normally. No error messages appear.

I have been searching through threads for months. Unless someone has a fix that WORKS, I am going to have to demand my money back from Microsoft. I bought Office 2013 SPECIFICALLY because Word is an application I use daily. To not have had access to it all this time on my home computer has been beyond ridiculous. What's even more frustrating is that I never had these problems with Windows 7. It just seems to be the "joy" of Windows 8 and Office 2013 that leave me ready to tear my hair out.

Solutions BEYOND what I've already tried would be appreciated.

Word Doc file size inflated exponentially

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:56 AM PDT

Hi all,

A few of my colleagues have been working on a Word Doc file over the past month. A few weeks ago, the file size inflated exponentially;  there was limited content added to the file before this occurred. 

I have no real insight as to why this happened. We tried several things to shrink the file size, but nothing seems to work effectively enough. I think the problem may have something to do with the way the file is being saved, a corrupted picture or chart, or because it has been worked on in both Word 2007 and Word 2013 and emailed back and forth between internal and external contacts. I have "checked for issues" in Word 2013, but have little luck identifying the problem(s). The file has retained the same "doc" file extension. 

The enormous file size has made editing the document cumbersome because we are unable to email it to some folks, particularly those with .gov email domains. 

Thoughts?

Blank Word Document Template

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hi Guys

I inherited a PC and I'm running Office Pro 2013. For some reason when I open Word from the list of templates, the "Blank Document" Template's format is all over the place. I thought I'd just save a new "blank" .dotx template but I cannot seem to overwrite the template that appears in the list. Can anyone tell me how I either overwrite that template or replace it in the list of templates?

Word 2013 and Greek keyboard

Word 2010 table formatting

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:13 AM PDT

I've set up a customized table in Word 2010 with a specific font and text centered horizontally and vertically.  When I copy cells from an Excel table and paste them into the word table, my table formatting is lost even when I choose Keep Text Only.  These are the steps I've tried to address this:

  1. I've create a style to easily reapply table text formatting.  This works for the font and centering the text horizontally except I can't figure out how to define the style to center text vertically.
  2. I've tried different combinations of copy and paste settings and smart cut and paste settings
  3. I've tried modifying the table style settings

Do you have any additional ideas I can try?

Change the background color of a single page?

Posted: 07 May 2014 09:13 AM PDT

Hi all,

 Is it possible to change the background colour of a single page within Microsoft Word 2010?

 I have a document which requires the final/back page to be a different color from the rest of the document. I have tried using section breaks, but this has no effect and changes the background color of the entire document.

As an alternative, I could just create a shape/text box, color it and then drag it to fit the final page, but this isn't an ideal solution.

Many thanks,

Kyle

References in Office 365

Posted: 07 May 2014 08:28 AM PDT

I am having a problem with references in Office 365.  Some of my references are coming out as follows:

(Baumrind D. , Current patterns of parental authority., 1971)

Note that the title is in the middle of the citation. On the preview area in Source Manager, the citation looks fine in the Master List but when inserted into a document, it has the problem shown above.  I also noticed that the list for the current document has the citation error even though it was copied from the Master List.  It seems to work properly until you add citations to the Master List of the same author with a different date.  For example, (Baumrind, 1967) works great until you add (Baumrind, 1971).  I discovered this when I inserted (Creswell, 2009). With one entry of the author Creswell, the citation was fine. When I entered (Creswell, 2012), I had the same error: a title in the middle of the citation

 I know that you can fix the citation by clicking on the citation, choosing edit citation from the dialog box, and then checking the suppress title option.  What I don't understand is why some citations are as they should be (Author, Date) and others are not.  I have compared the fields on citations that are correct with citations that are not, and I just cannot find a problem with my data entry.  

Any suggestions on a fix would be most appreciated.

Word 2013 Consistently and Randomly Crashing

Posted: 07 May 2014 06:33 AM PDT

Good day everybody


I sincerely hope that someone here can advise me how to get rid of this extremely annoying error which has totally incapacitated Word 2013 on my PC for months on end. I am yet to find a permanent solution, though scouring the Internet. Those solutions that I did find during these searches, failed to return the desired results.


In short, the error boils down to this: I would be typing away merrily, and the next thing I know am presented with the familiar "Microsoft Word has stopped working" error flag, offering the choice to either look online for a solution, or close the program. Shortly before posting this message, I typed a letter in another application, the text of which I copied and then pasted into a Word document, but Word summarily crashed. This is the applicable error message for it:


Problem signature:

Additional information about the problem:

If my memory serves me correctly, the foregoing is exactly the same error message I have seen during previous Word-crashes.

Why does Word (Office 365) on iPad not have an option to save documents locally?

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:53 AM PDT

I was one of those people who was really excited when Word became available on the iPad, but have since become rather disappointed at the many missing features.

for example, there are many reasons why one may need to work offline, the most common being lack of internet access which is still rather variable in availability. Unfortunately, with Word on an iPad, you can't.

I am going to be taking minutes at a meeting tomorrow and will have to use another app because Word won't allow me to use a pre-prepared document (eg with names of previous attendees, document heading, etc).

Other writing apps on the iPad can do this (Pages, iA Writer, Swiftkey, Penultimate, and more), so why can't Word?

Is there any way to replace single quote marks with double quote marks?

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:37 AM PDT

I have a document I am editing which uses single quotation marks and I want to replace them with double quotation marks. Speech marks if you will.

There is some discussion on other forums about this, but no apparent straightforward way to do this, without several slow, painstaking Find and Replace steps.

Here is an example which illustrates one of the problems with a simple Find and Replace, as the apostrophe would also get changed.

'Better eat up,' he said quietly, 'we've got a lot to talk about.'


needs to be:

"Better eat up," he said quietly, "we've got a lot to talk about."

Any ideas? Is there some Woerd functionality to deal with this? After all, Word does understand straight quotes and curly quotes...

This item might not exist or is no longer available

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:01 AM PDT

Anyway they can be removed?

Word 2010: Displaying page number of next instance of text in a specific style

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:00 AM PDT

In Word 2010 what's the best way to find the next instance of text using a specific style and display the page number it is on?

The field code STYLEREF will find the text but I can't see how to determine which page it is on. The field code PAGEREF will display page numbers but it needs a bookmark to work from. Is there a way to translate styles into bookmarks? The style I'm searching for is part of a structure of numbered headings and I know that Word inserts hidden bookmarks for numbered items, so is that something I can make use of?

The reason for this question is that I need to suppress running headers on the first page of every chapter of a document. I cannot simply use the Different First Page option for headers because there are many section breaks in this document inserted for reasons other than starting a new chapter (e.g. changing number of columns part way through a chapter or changing the widths of columns part way through a chapter), and I cannot delete them without messing up other aspects of the document.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not able to hide built in styles in Word

Posted: 07 May 2014 12:41 AM PDT

Hi Experts

I have create a template in Word 2007 setting up my own styles and adjusting some of the built in styles. That part works as intended. However it seems that I am not able to hide/get rid of the built in "insert table" styles in my template, e.g. Table Grid, Light Shading, Light List etc.

If I go to Manage Styles and select the Recommend tab the buttons for changing priority and visibilty are all greyed out. How do I then get the styles out of my template so they do not appear in the Apply Style dialog?

I can of course rename the template to .zip and remove the styles from the Styles.xml file - but I am not really sure what might be affected by this.

Help - Headings picking up Word default lists!

Posted: 06 May 2014 09:35 PM PDT

I create templates in all versions of Word.

For some reason when some templates are used the inbuilt Heading styles (which have no numbering) pick up one of the default Word list styles, such as 'Article' or the '1.'. 

This has now happened on three of my sites in the last week, all using different .doc/.docx's and Word 2010 - Word 2013.

I don't think it is the users saving the templates or auto update or anything like that, I've been working in styles for 7 years and haven't seen this before. 

Has anyone else found this?!?! What is causing it?!?!

Word - Shortcut to automatically Insert "A" Field

Posted: 06 May 2014 09:15 PM PDT

Hi All,

   I am trying to create a template for my users to use with per-populated fields from SharePoint. This is not the problem...

   What I would like to do, is have a shortcut (or icon/menu/whatever) to insert a certain field instead of the user having to every time go to Insert -> Quick Parts -> etc.

    I tried to record a macro of this, but the macro came up empty :( ... not sure if there is a command/VBA script/way to get this to be automated.

    I have only been able to insert document fields .. but not sharepoint fields :( using the below code, which doesn't help, because it means I have to update the CustomerName field in Word with the one in SharePoint everytime I open the doco, and also if someone changes the Name in Word, I need to be able to reflect this, which gets too complicated...

Sub Insert_CustomerName()
'
' Insert_CustomerName Macro
'
'

 Selection.TypeText ("Customer Name=")
 Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldDocProperty, Text:="CustomerName"
 
End Sub

Thanks

Word 2013 freezes when trying to use Find & Replace

Posted: 06 May 2014 07:00 PM PDT

I have Word 2013 with Windows 7, all updated to the latest versions. When using Word it freezes every time I try to use find and replace. I have tried the repair mechanism and it still occurs. I ran it in safe mode and the find and replace worked fine. I have already disabled all of the add-ins and the freezing is still occurring. Can't find anything relating to this particular issue... any suggestions?

MS Word 2010 (Windows) - Document Personalization

Posted: 06 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT

I have a long document (around 105 A4 pages)  which can be thought of a specification document. Its purpose is to describe all the settings for a customer organization across a number of the systems that we are to configure for them. So it has the 'customer name' throughout as placeholder text. Currently the consultants who use the document do a search-and-replace for every instance of 'customer name' with the actual name when they adapt the document for an actual customer.

I would like to automate this step. So I thought about inserting 'client' as a document property field, and then entering the customer name as a Value in the field. That works, but it means the consultants have to know where the Advanced Properties panel is, and how to  update the Value field, then Select All and Update Field Entries. In other words, it is no easier that 'search and replace'.

So I thought I could write a macro (document already has several) which copies from a source field and automatically replaces every instance of 'customer name' with the real name using Search and Replace. So the consultant could then enter the real customer name in a particular place - say, a table cell in the 'How to Use this Document' page - and then click a button which does a Search and Replace.

Is this do-able? How would you tell Word to enter the value in that cell and copy it into the Replace With field in the Advanced Search box?

Or is there some other way to do it?

Any tips gratefully received.

Recently Used Fonts not displaying initially in drop down box

Posted: 06 May 2014 03:52 PM PDT

Since starting with Office 365, I have noticed that Word, Publisher & OneNote do not display Recently Used Fonts in the drop down box when choosing a font.  See image below so you know what I am talking about. 


In office 2010, I used to be able to click on font and the recently used fonts was always the first thing displayed and then you could scroll down to choose another font if need be.  Now, when clicking on font, I am automatically taken to Calibri and I have to scroll back up to the recently used fonts.  It's more annoying and time consuming really, but is anyone else having this issue and found out what to do?  I have called tech support and the only answer they had was to change the default font.  


When selecting a font I get this above & have to scroll up,  ......  

I want this.  The recently used fonts to be at the top of the font drop down box.

restart and build the \MSOCache (LIS) folder from scratch, but don't lose the list of files in that article. They may come in

If that doesn't find it, somewhere in the documents and CD's that came

have to either call Compaq or buy a new copy.

You should have purchased, retail, the Office & Student licensed version

I suggest you go & purchase this edition, amazon.com is as good as anywhere,

All 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 software has an expiration date of

This is normal behavior if Enterprise Global has been configured to require
data in some fields.

To see which fields are required, click Project > Project Information. The
table in the dialog box will display all custom project fields. Any that are
required will be marked with an astereisk and will appear at the top of the
list. Similar approach for tasks, but look in the Task Information Dialog
Box (Shift - F2).

Default task dependancies (and lag days) for pairs of tasks

Posted: 25 May 2005 04:02 AM PDT

You could possibly create a VB macro to do something like that but IMHO it
would be far more trouble than it would be worth to do it. A project plan
should not be such an automated rote exercise anyway. You, the manager,
still should be in charge of all the decisions as your plan goes from rough
draft to final work schedule. MSP is just there as a glorified calculator
to help you see the consequences of the choices you make but they always
need to remain YOUR choices as only you know what meets the required
objectives in the end. In the case of lag time, even if a certain pair of
tasks occurs repeatedly in your plan, for each iteration of A->B you should
be looking at it and asking yourself "Based on the conditions at the time we
doing them, what should the lag time between A and B be *this* time around?"
In most projects I would think it would rarely be the same for all
iterations of the tasks.

Convert PowerPoint Slide Show to DVD movie?

Posted: 24 May 2005 08:03 AM PDT

As Jan said, this group is devoted to MS Project project management
software. But that being said, you can do a very simple movie made up of
still jpg and gif images (and live motion DV clips for that matter if you
have a camera) along with music and narration using Windows Moviemaker, a
freebie bundled with Windows XP, and there is a Moviemaker newsgroup where
you could get some good advice on how to proceed. For Powerpoint slides
you'd need to export them as individual image files so in the interests of
quality unless you have images combined with charts and text etc on the PP
slides I'd use the original images instead of exporting the powerpoint
slides themselves but you could go either way. For more flexibility and
sophisticated effects like "Ken Burns" pans and zooms, multitrack sound, etc
on a budget take a look at Adobe Premiere Elements. Sony Media also has
similar entry level video editing software as do Pinnacle, Avid, Canopus and
a bunch of others. Of course you also need DVD burning software such as
Sonic MyDVD or the Roxio suite as well as the editing program you use for
putting together the video file. DVD's that can be played on a standard DVD
player hooked to a regular TV are a little more complicated to burn than
just copying the files over - there is a very specific structure that must
be followed - but it's not overly difficult and there are plenty of software
packages out there that can do it. Another option you might consider is to
use Video CD or VCD - most DVD players can play them as well and they can be
simpler to create.

In the View menu choose Tables. Among the tables listed in the menu you'll
find baseline information in the Cost, Tracking, Variance, and Work tables.
If you select More Tables at the bottom of the list you'll find a library of
additional tables and many of them include baseline data as well. Finally
you can customize any table or completely roll your own and you'll find many
baseline fields in the list of available columns you can use.

Project and leveling

Posted: 23 May 2005 12:31 PM PDT

Bonnie,

The solution to your problem is by changing the option "Look for
overallocations on a "Day by Day" basis to . ."Hour by Hour" basis.
According to your how you explained the problem; MS Project (MSP) is a pure
logic based program. As you discussed, MS Project is trying to resolve the
problem by 'looking at Days,' there are 8 working hours in a day MSP
evaluated if it could resolve the problem of work, comparing 4 hours on one
task and 8 hourcs on another. Since there were no solution (according to
MSP, MSP looked at each tasks in days) thus the solution of dropping the
remaining 'day' on the next task. (that would depend on the selection of
options that were loaded during the leveling.
