Microsoft Word - Opening a pdf document using a Word macro

Opening a pdf document using a Word macro

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 02:25 PM PDT

I have a macro that I want to use to open a pdf document.  I am not sure how to do that.  I can make it open a Word document, but not a pdf.

The bolded code is what I am using to open a Word version of the document.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

DELETING SPLIT WINDOWS

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 01:47 PM PDT

I have read your prior posts learning that I can get rid of the split screen by raising or lowering it and view only one document.  However, when I open a new file/document, the same thing happens on the new one and I can't figure out how to restore my documents to full screen view.  Under the View tab, there are different options to view various documents, but now I'm afraid to use any of them because there is no way to return to normal view.

Microsoft Word malfunction

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 01:06 PM PDT

I just installed Office 2013 last week. I set everything up and used Excel. I have not used my computer since and now when I try to open Word, it says "We're sorry, but Word has run into an error that has prevented it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result." Then its asks "Repair now?" When I click repair now, nothing happens. Is there some way that I can manually repair it or something else I need to do? PowerPoint and Excel work as usual.

Word Crashes after nearly opening document

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:08 PM PDT

Hi there,

Thanks for reading!

I am in a bind. I cannot open a document I am working with. This happened suddenly.

There is no 'Autorecovered' file.

I have been using all the fortmatting features in Word but the file was saved as .htm

I have been working on this file for 6 months without any major issues.

When I tried to open the file today -- It crashed after the progress bar for opening the file reached ~ 100%.

Now when I try to open → "The document caused a serious error the last time it was opened"

It offers a choice to attempt to:

1) reopen which results in Word crashing after the progress bar for opening the file reaches  ~ 100%.

2) recover which extracts text regarding formatting, fonts, etc. that is essentially useless 

Any suggestions on ways to move forward?

Thank you so much in advance!

How to enhance Word 2010 Indexing Features with VBA

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 12:06 PM PDT

Microsoft Word 2010, Windows 7

I need to do two things pertaining to an ordinary Word index (the kind you find in the back of books):  For one,  when I "Include the selected text in the index of the document" I would like it to show up as red text in the "Show paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols" view.  Secondly, I would like to view my current index without inserting it into a document.  For example, I'm marking an entery and the Mark Index Entry dialog box is open.  I'm marking the entry as a "Subentry" but I'm not sure what I used in the "Main Entry" for other text of similar concordance.  I can open the index in my document but it would be much easier to open it in another window so I can take a quick glance at it without having to close the Mark Index Entry dialog.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish these two index procedures using VBA?

VBA to save as PDF based on ref number and date contained in a word form field

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 11:58 AM PDT

Hi,

I created a form in word with legacy tools only.

I created a save as command button which works but it saves under a predetermined name: "safety tour".

I was wondering if it is possible to save as by defining the name of the file on the content that would be filled in by users adding the ref number and the date to the name, & & . Is it possible to ask to find the content by bookmarking the fields?

the code I have so far is:

Private Sub CBSave_PDF_Click()
' SavePDF Macro
'
'
    ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Temp\"
    ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:= _
        "C:\Temp\Safety Tour.pdf", ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
        OpenAfterExport:=True, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:= _
        wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
        IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, CreateBookmarks:= _
        wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:= _
        True, UseISO19005_1:=False
        
End Sub

I added a signature line to my Microsoft Word 2013 document (using Office365) and with inserting the signature image I get and error message:

The certificate you selected cannot be verified. Please check your network connection. Do you want to use this certificate?

If I continue, the signature is inserted with Recoverable Signature and it doesn't date stamp the signature.

I have a valid internet connection (attested by the fact that I am creating this question) and have confirmed that tracking is turned off, since I thought this may be the culprit.

Please advise.

Field in Footer disappears when selecting Print from the File menu (MS Word 2013)

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:35 AM PDT

I have created a document with a Footer that has two lines, and six fields.  Two fields are StyleRef fields; one field is a Page Number field; one field (which may just be a placeholder) contains manually entered content; and two fields are Ref Bookmark fields. The two fields that reference Bookmarks were created in the exact same way, but behave differently when I select Print from the File menu; one remains, and one disappears from the Footer entirely.  Sometimes, along with the disappearing field, the line spacing and arrangement of the remaining fields in the Footer changes.  I tried using Cross-References instead of Bookmarks, which made no difference.  I'm not sure if the problem is with the Footer, or some wonky setting in Word Options. Does anyone know why these two fields in my Footer would behave differently, and/or how to keep the one that disappears on Print to remain?

Amount format showing in Word after a merge

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT

I produce check requisitions by merging data in an Excel 2007 workbook with a document in Word 2007 on a PC running Windows 7.  For all the similarities in both the Excel sheet's cells and the mergefield properties in Word, the second row's amount is different to the first line's result in the merged "letters1' document.  I have reformatted the entire Excel workbook, deleted and reinstated the second row of the receiving Word document, all to no avail.  The first line has 1,800.00 and the second line has 1500.  I have looked at Update Fields, Edit Fields, Sally Fields and Brooke Shields and Sanity Shields.  I deleted that line from the receiving document and saved it before reopening and reinserting that line; reinserted the specific fields and checked the aforementioned fields and shields. I have pulled seven of the three hair I have left and goofed around on Facebook.  Now I am hoping someone can help me. So many of the the online forums label their sites as applicable to Office 2007 when they are not - either 2003 or 2010.

Extra line break above table after column break

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:52 AM PDT

WORD 2013, PC...

I have 2 columns on my page, the second page starts with a table.

If I use a column break to move the table to the second column, Word inserts an extra line break which means that the top of the table is not in line with the 1st column.

I think older versions of Word allowed this to be 'Suppressed' but this feature doesn't seem to be available in Word 2013. Is there any way to remove this extra line?

(Background - I can repeat the issue creating a new document. The extra line break also appears if I do a page break. The line does not appear if there is no column or page break before the table)

I urgently need to get this resolved to any help would be grately appreciated

Thank you

Table Columns with Track Changes

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:22 AM PDT

I recently discovered what I would call a bug in Microsoft Word. I was making revisions to a document, and as such had "Track Changes" turned on. In order to keep the document looking as intended, I was not displaying deletions.

I copied new data from a spreadsheet into a table in the document and found that it re-sized the columns of the table, despite the fact that the new data was exactly the same size as the old data, and the table was set to auto fit columns. I could find no settings that had changed as a result of the operation, and nothing would get the table to auto fit the columns back to the sizes they should be.

After some messing around, I determined it had to do with Track Changes. After manually accepting only the deletions in the table, it reverted back to behaving normally.

It appears that with Track Changes turned on, Word includes the deleted text when calculating the width of a column, even though the deleted text is not being displayed, making it nearly impossible to determine that that is the cause of the issue.

This creates a major headache, since part of the revision control process at my company includes marking changes with a bar in the margin, which Track Changes is able to do automatically. So in order to keep the "rev bar" and format the table correctly, I have to manually accept just the deletions.

Office 365 for 6.99 a month

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 10:38 PM PDT

This is a great way for a student to get the new office program. At 6.99 a month, any student could afford that... I have had a chance to look it over and if I didn't have office 2013, I would get it! There isn't a ton of differences between office 2007 and office 2013 which I have now. It seems as though Microsoft makes subtle changes slowly over time which helps the user adjust slowly.

The only Label options that result in 'Above the selected item' are Equation and Table ... but these are not tables, they are graphs, and in any case I want the Label to be Figure.

Missing menu in Open

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 09:13 PM PDT

I am trying to recover a document in Word 2007 after a power surge (repaired version is the same as unsaved version) and am trying to follow suggestions online, which say to use the "files of type" menu to select "recover text from any file."

Having looked at some pictures of this menu I can see that for some reason when I go into "open" I do not have a "files of type" drop down box at all, just file name, all files dropdown, tools, open, cancel. 

Any ideas how I get that menu?? Thanks!

Something Went Wrong

We couldn't start your program. Please try starting it again.

If it won't restart try repairing Office from "Programs and Features" in the control panel.

I went to my control panel under "programs and features" but I do not see the option to "repair" anything. Can someone that is better at this than me tell me what I need to do?

How to reference ENDNOTE multiple times, being linked back accurately?

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 05:04 PM PDT

How do we reference a source at the endnote of our document within Microsoft Words 2003 multiple times?

I already inserted Reference > Footnote, and I also did the Reference > Cross-Reference; everything works fine.

HOWEVER...

The problem is I want the consecutive reference that follows after the first one to a particular endnote...to go directly back to that itself.

For example:

I have reference "i" in the document going to exactly the endnote "i", then I have a second reference "i" later in the document that goes to that same endnote "i."

Doing the cross-reference for the second reference "i," clicking on it goes back to that first reference "i" before it, instead of going to the endnote "i."

While the first reference "i", if you click on it, it conveniently goes to its corresponding endnote "i", unlike the second reference "i" that goes back to first reference "i."

Is there anyway possible I can have the second reference "i" clicking on it goes directly to its "i" endnote at the end, instead of going back to its prior reference "i," (and even for a third or fourth reference "i" to do so)

Last thing, clicking on the endnote "i" goes straight back to the first reference "i", can it go directly back to its last "CLICKED" reference "i" either that its first, second, third, or fourth.

This should seem like something Microsoft should know.

This is giving me a headache for something pure logic should be able to do.

My Word does not work

That's not entirely correct. You can download a compatibility pack if you

you to do a Save As and not force your end users to download anything.

Mouse Scroll Wheel ignored by Office 2007

Posted: 14 Apr 2007 01:04 PM PDT

There seems to be two drivers involved. One from HP for the HP Wireless
Rechargeable Optical Mouse (HID) version 2.3.0.0, and one from Microsoft for
an HID-compliant mouse, version 5.1.2600.0.

The trick seems to be in the mouse control panel applet, to set the wheel to
"Use Microsoft Office 97 Scrolling Emulation Only", rather than "Enable
Universal Scrolling".

I still question why my mouse wheel was working with Office XP and not for
Office 2007.

MS Office Professional also has two CDs. The second one contains the MS Outlook Business Contact Manager and MS Office Accounting

Office 2007 ships with very little clipart.

2003 VS XP Shortcut Bar

Posted: 10 Apr 2007 05:23 AM PDT

Microsoft often uses focus groups to determine the popularity of a feature or
function. Looks like the Office Shortcut Bar didn't make the cut.

I'm fairly certain there is not a way to "migrate" the Office Shortcut Bar
from Office XP.

However, the Windows Quick Launch bar performs nearly the same function as
the Office Shortcut Bar did (which is probably a big reason why they nuked
the Office Shortcut Bar). If you haven't tried it, check it out.

Save as XPS or PDF

Posted: 10 Apr 2007 04:58 AM PDT

Hi Bob,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The issue seems to occur in all Office 2007 products (well, at least Word,
Excel and Powerpoint). When I select the save as pdf option, the conversion
starts but then terminates and I get the error message "An error occurred
while Powerpoint was saving the file" or "Document not saved. The document
may be open, or an error may have been encountered when saving." (Excel) or
"The export failed due to an unexpected error." (Word). For Powerpoint and
Excel, selecting save as \ pdf or xps brings up a "publish" dialogue with the
default to save to pdf selected. In Word, however, selecting the save as \
pdf or xps simply opens the save as dialogue box and you still have to select
pdf or xps from the drop down list. I have remover the Acrobat PDFMaker
Office COM Addin (the program specific add-ins do not load up any way as they
are not compatible with Office 2007 products and the only one of the Acrobat
addin that is loaded is the COM addin) but that has absolutely no effect. I
guess I could (but would prefer not to) uninstall Acrobat completely and see

Oh, there it is "View 32bit control panel items" That's a nice little place
to hide things. Guess I have to start thinking more outside the box with
64bit.

Only Office 2003 and 2007 are supported on Windows Vista.

well, the assumption there is that the package exists as a .deb or .rpm
(the latter can be problematic because it was not "packaged" for ubuntu).
A lot of software exists which is not in the official repositories at all
or they are not updated often enough. For example, Firefox 2.* was
released few days ago and it exists in ubuntu 6.10 but a week ago, you
could not readily get a .deb. You had to install from the web site.

anyway, most well-created packages will come in a ".tar.gz" which is
compressed .tar file. "tar -zxvf filename" will extract the files for
you. The first thing to look for is "INSTALL" or "README" and you will
probably see instructions about "./configure", "make" , etc. Do these
without a "sudo" . Then if everything goes well do "sudo make install
....".Instead of the last one you can try using "checkinstall" (sudo apt-get
checkinstall) .See http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ . This
latter allows a nice uninstall method and I beleive it will let you get
dependencies automatically too.

This is fairly generic but not always true. other programs will have
their own instructions.

The boot loader is a fundamental concept of operating systems. The
function that the loader provides may go unnoticed, especially if your
computer arrived with the OS preinstalled, and the boot loader is
functioning correctly. Even when you first install GNU/Linux, you may not
have noticed that the loader was changed. That is because a lot of the new
setup programs hide complexities from the end user in the name of
"user-friendliness." IMO, they may not be doing you any favors. It is
better to understand this concept from the start. That way, if you
"break" the loader, you'll be in a better position to understand what
needs to be done to fix it. The idea behind the loader isn't really that
hard to understand. Take a few minutes to read the documentation. This
looks like a good overview which supplements the official documentation:

Back to your original question...
This screenshot shows the grub boot menu:
http://www.xmission.com/~ddmayne2/10.2-live/screenshots/ss01.2006-07-23.png

If your grub loader is installed correctly, then it should display
something similar for you. Notice the bottom of the screenshot which
states:

"...Press Enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the commands before
booting, or 'c' for a command-line."

Pressing 'c' will give direct access to the grub shell and its pre-boot
environment. That may be what your original question was driving at.

Also, when the loader cannot find its menu (because it absent), the
default action is to go directly to the grub shell at boot:

Microsoft CRM - Default dropdown is Account instead of Contact - options?

Microsoft CRM - Default dropdown is Account instead of Contact - options?

Default dropdown is Account instead of Contact - options?

Posted: 30 Mar 2005 10:35 AM PST

Hey Chris:

If you're clients creating a new record from say, the Menu's "New" button,
or from the Quick Create tool, etc, the default lookup item is "Accounts",
and ther's no MBS supported way to change that.

However, your client can avoid that hassle anyway by creating new records
from within the the Contact's record.

eg, I want to create a Phone Call for my Contact "Calvin R Mason". Rather
than creating a blank e-mail, and then having to click on the lookup button,
switch "Accounts" to "Contacts" then searching for "Mason", I do it from the
get-go, by searching for the Contact, then creating the Activity from his
record.

While this method doesn't save any steps, psychologically, it's less annoying.

Outside creating new activities, if you create all new records from within
their native parent record, you can utilize CRM's out-of-the-box data field
mappings, which can reduce redundant data entry significantly. you can even
map custom fields provided the data types in both records are equal.

Prepending text in the topic of an opportunity via Workflow

Posted: 30 Mar 2005 01:55 AM PST

Gill:

If I understand you correctly, the First section of Text in the Tpoic field
would be the Account name? Then you would like to have the User's name?...
I'm no too sure what you want, but there are several ways to auto-populate
this data field.

To get the Account name into the Topic field, simply Map the Account's
"Name" field to the Opportunity's "Topic" Field in the Deployment Manager.

To add any other text, I recommend using JScript in a Picklist's OnChange
event. In other words, if you want the next string in the Topic field to be
the user's name, then you would build a Picklist field on the Opportunity's
"General" tab with all of the Sales People's names. Then you add some basic
JScript code to the Picklist's "OnChange" event tab, so that the name chosen
from the Picklist is appended to the Topic Field... Something like the
follwoing would work:

var s = crmForm.CFPAppendTopic.value;
crmForm.name.value += s;

However, Workflow does have the Advantage of updating several Records at a
time, so you may want to use manual workflow, creating a rule for each Sales
Person, so'a to Append the Topic field with thier name. The syntax in "Update
Object"
in workflow is the same '+=' to Append the field with the Sales person's name.

Cases responsiblecontactid

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 12:49 PM PST

At one project we started down an interesting path - We wanted to build a
customization that would populate this field -

We wanted to have the user initially link the case to the contact record
then - optionally - click a button on the toolbar which would look up that
contact's parent company and if there was a parent company, it would copy
the contact's guid into the responsible contact ID and the parent company's
guid into the customer field - (and change the type to 1 (account))

A second button in the toolbar would reverse the process by moving the GUID
in the 'responsiblecontactid' to the customer and changing the type back to
2

Alas, we never got to it. - plans changed on how they wanted cases
associated.

If anyone has the time and inclination and wants to create this gem, you'd
be an instant hero to a handful of CRM Service users.

List view customization

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 12:29 PM PST

JM,
Should be no problem. There is a well-known hack that allows you to
modify any CRM view.

1) Open SQL Enterprise Manager and enter this query against your MSCRM
DB:

select top 10 * from savedquerybase where name like '%order%'

2) You'll see the Order Product Associated View (Existing) - copy the
SavedQueryID GUID in that row.

3) Using the CRM Customization tool, double click on any view (My
Accounts; it truly doesn't matter).
4) Hold down the CTRL key and hit the N key. CTRL/N will give you the
address bar
5) Replace the GUID with the GUID you just copied. In the URL, it says
?id={GUID}. Just select the stuff inside the brackets, and hit CTRL/V
to paste your Order GUID in.
6) Your Order Product Associated View will appear. Modify as usual,
Save.

Voila, you have a custom Order Product view... No IISRESET, it's just
there... It's a wonderful thing... Kudos to whoever first posted this
solution, I've used it everywhere.

Good luck,
Dave

Scott, I would like to add that I generally run DBCC OpenTran against the
Database to check for any transactions that have not been written to disk.

You could use the dbcc shrinkfile command to reduce the size of the LDF

flag individuáls in crm

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 07:27 AM PST

Goran,

This sounds like something I've configured for one of my clients. We
added a custom tab and section called "Interests", and added a series
of check boxes (in Deployment Manager, add boolean fields).

Users can then check the individual items of interest for each contact.
Using Advanced Find, you can then generate a list of all people who
have an interest in "pc" and/or "monitor", for example, and send them
an email...

Particularly when working with Contacts, you need to be careful not to
add too many (large) fields or you'll bump against the SQL table size
limit. Booleans (implemented as check boxes in the GUI) take up less
space than the picklist (integer) fields. HTH,

isv.config spontaneously rolls back to random date!

Posted: 29 Mar 2005 06:38 AM PST

The install puts a copy of it in the program files files dir. If the version
that you were getting wasn't that original version, then it probably came from
an import of a customization file.

As for why it does this, I can't say. There are benefits to having a backup
copy of the file, but then I wish the doc recommended modifying the "backup"
version and then "publishing" so that this was avoided.

not have anything to do with changes in deployment manager so why on
Earth would CRM decide to restore a backup, let alone restore one
which predates the current isv.config!

CRM and SecurityRole

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 10:02 PM PST

Dears,

thanks in advance for any reply.

In fact there is something terribly wrong with the roles in CRM.
Cause i am facing a problem till now i haven't found solution to it.

Users are not able to login, except for the administrator account.
Also adding new role to this account is possible but nothing changed,
no new functionnalities.

Once a user try to connect using IE 6, using Active diretory account,
the famous dialog "account, pass & domain" pops up. once insert those
fields it pops up once again. in the crm server, i can see in the logs
that this account have logged and privileges checking and then log off.

means that previleges are missing. thing which i don't understand,
specialy that everything is configured as it must be.

People can use Active directory accounts, login directly into other
network services without using account & pass, example Exchange mail
accounts, and so on.

And why just the administrator account who can login ???

have you ever face such problem ?

in fact i have post this here cause it's role and privileges issue you
are discussing here.

Best regards.

Is there a workaround to reaching the CRM database limit for a rec

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 08:43 PM PST

Yes there will. There are 2 major changes that will help here in CRM 2005.

1) All custom attributes will be moved to an extension table, so you will have
the full 8k for your own fields.

2) You have the ability to add new tables that can be related to the CRM
infrastucture. So, you can add another table with the same PK to hold even more
fields.

Thanks Matt
Do you know if there will be any better solution included in the next
version of MS CRM to be released later this year (MS CRM 2005)?

Contact View, Notes & Attachment

Posted: 28 Mar 2005 08:21 PM PST

HT:

Check out this German Add-on Product for Categorizing your Attachments:

http://www.mscrm-addons.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32

I think it's exactly what you're looking for. If not, Customer Effective has
some good solutions for more efficient document attaching and file management
integrating with SharePoint (probably the better way to go, as the
attachments aren't bogging down you SQL production server)

As far as your Standardized Notes Title thing, running custom SQL Scripts is
easier, but not always supported by MBS, so it may not be the best way to go.

You could create Manual workflow that would create a new note with a
standard title (since workflow is specific to the entity in which the
workflow is initiated, you can do different standardized titles for each
entity). Only thing is that the user would have to run the Workflow rule,
then go into notes, select the one that was just created to fill in the body
of the note. This may prove to be difficult because the only field Notes have
to search on is the title... If they are all the same, who would know which
not is which?

Therefore, I suggest you employ an activity roll-up product like Customer
Effective's Interactions, or c360's Activity Summary. This gives you all the
granularity (grid view-wise) that you wish you had with Notes and
Activities...

Login problems for Report Manager: IIS settings issue?

================================================== =============================
This is the error message:

---------------------------
URL: http://localhost/reportmanager/LogonError.htm

In order to use Microsoft CRM 1.2 Report Manager, you must enter the
user name and password for Crystal APS, and the name of your Crystal
APS Server (your Microsoft CRM server). Contact your system
administrator for the account information, and try again.

----------------------------

When I use the server name (instead of local host) for the URL, the
same error message shows up.

What is the alternative?

Thanx.
