Viewing Overallocations

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 05:20 PM PDT

Hi Andrew,

I assume you are not using Project Server (which is what Dale assumes) so
here is the "native" approach.

The simplest solution is (from a task view) to go to Window, Split
Click on the lower pane
In the View Bar select Resource Sheet

Now you no longer have the need to switch windows, they are both there!
And when you allocate a resource, and it gets overallocated, it immediately
turns red in the lower pane.

You can have the indication in the task view itself but that would resuire
some VBA programming.

Hope this helps,

Using Project in Small Office and on Multiple Projects/Tasks

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 02:29 PM PDT

Thanks for your response.

Do you have any suggestion of what to use in place?

The problem is that many of the task will be in a project for product
development, however, some of the required tasks are pretty small.

% Complete not Rolling Up to Summary Task

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 08:51 AM PDT

Calculate is set to "automatic". I initially only entered % complete in the
"% Physical Complete" column. Then I went back and entered % complete for
each task in the "Task Information - General" tab, in the % complete box. I
thought this would correct the problem but it did not.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 08:00 AM PDT

Bonjour Helen,

La réponse à votre question se trouve dans l'affichage Utilisation des
Tâches plutôt que Utilisation de ressources!
In English, you need the Task Usage view rather than the resource usage
view; It gives you resource on each tak and a total by task.

Majid,
Something has apparently happened to Global file if you only have 3 of
the default filters. Here are a couple of things to try. First, go to
Help/Detect and Repair.

If that doesn't restore the filters, you can trash your active Global
and Project will create a new one, hopefully with all the default stuff.
Before trashing your existing Global however, you need to use the
Organizer to transfer any custom views, reports, modules, etc. to a
temporary file so they can be restored once the new default Global is
generated.

If neither of the above works then the only other option I know of is to
re-install Project.

Hope this helps.

Unsupported, but you can export your customizations to XML. Then add

It worked for us in an extreme case, but for only ~ 100, you should
probably just do it manually and avoid "coloring outside the lines"

Mail Merge in browser

Posted: 06 Apr 2005 05:03 AM PDT

CRM only ships with merge functionality in the SFO client. There are a variety
of reasons, but security is probably the biggest. Performing a merge process
requires automation with Word. This could result in a lot of security warnings
to the user which would not be desireable. Plus, many companies have locked
down poilcies which would revent this from working.

There are some mail merge add-ons available for CRM. It is also possible to
develop one yourself if you have the skills.

Hi,

In MS CRM you can use mail merge with the SFO-client and direct e-mail in

selection made with the Search Pac, but can only select direct email.

Is there a way I can use the mail merge function in the browser (and the

Adding the same information to multiple contacts

Posted: 05 Apr 2005 07:29 AM PDT

Dear "Matt",

c360 can do batch updates like this (and so will CRM 2.0.) You can
also create a rule that creates an activity (send letter activity,
e.g.) and then apply that rule to multiple people. (You can select
multiple people in an advanced find (or lead, or contact, etc.) grid
(hold down the control key to select multiple), and can then take an
Action (such as send email, or Apply Rule, such as "Send Letter A"...)

But I'd like to politely suggest that you may want to look at your
process. The attendance (of invited but did not attend) sounds more
like a recurring event rather than an attribute of a contact. If so,
then you are better off to NOT create a specific field on the Contact
entity to record their attendance.

If your goal is to send two different letters (one for the attendees,
one for those who missed it), then I just (a) create the two letter
templates (b) find the contact(s) to send them to in CRM, and (c) send
them the appropriate letter. Your activity history will then record
the fact that you sent them (which) letter.

If you create a custom field on each contact, you still have to somehow
search to find, and then update, each contact - that is an extra step
rather than just sending them the letter as you come across their name
in the grid...

I'd be particularly careful of adding custom fields to the contact
entity (especially if you are doing this for each event), because you
could run out of room (the 8000 SQL row limit is about 1000 bytes away
from the default installation.)

HTH,

Dave

Integrating MS CRM with Commerce Server

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 01:17 PM PDT

If you plan on using Products in the CRM Quote/Order within CRM, then CRM needs
to have the products in it's product catalog. Without this, then it will be
difficult to use these objects. You could try using write-in products, but that
would make certain reporting tasks more difficult.

CRM out of the box does not support the customer specific product restrictions
you mention. However, I doubt you would expose the CRM UI to the customer due
to cost (each customer would require a license), so that may not be as big an
issue.

If the Orders will be entered via a different vehicle and then copied into CRM,
then the job is a little easier as it will be an integration process that loads
the order.

One of our goals is to ensure that customer orders can be managed and linked

requirements that dictate what products or product variants a customer can

experience would have to let them select a P.O. to have their purchase
invoiced to, for example.

Not knowing much about MS CRM, I'm guessing we would want to manage the
quote/contract/order from within the CRM product, but have it be integrated
to the product catalog in commerce server.

Are you saying the catalog has to be exported from commerce server to CRM ?

CRM mobile over GPRS

Posted: 04 Apr 2005 10:13 AM PDT

Hi John,

Yes, I am planning to sync over GPRS. However, I was going to recommend to
the client not to try and sync whilst in motion (i.e train , car etc.) due
to the possibility of signal drop out. This will prevent 80% of signal
drop outs, however, we have no control over the airtime provider pulling the
plug for maintenance.

In the event of data corruption, is it a simple case of re-syncing? or would
I need to restore the last mobile CRM backup on the PDA and then re-sync?

Kind Regards

Workflow Manager Adaptations or Workarounds

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 07:19 PM PDT

Dear Geek,

I always advise my clients to structure your workflow rules in layers,
to keep them very simple, and to make modifying them easy.

For example, I would create one manual workflow rule that has no
conditions, and one action: assign the object to a certain user.
(This, then, is the only rule you have to change if there is a new
person that comes into the same territory.)

This manual rule can be called in an action whenever the condition that
would cause you to assign something to that person is met. (E.g.,
State = "TX", action: Exec: manual: Assign to TX rep...)

That way, your rules can stay pretty static (except for changing that
one rule that assigns the object to the new sales person).

I do the same thing for the definition of territories. For example, I
have one rule for each territory. If a state changes from one
territory to another, I have to make that change in two workflow rules,
but then nothing else has to change.

So, bottom line - the structure might look like this:

Create Lead Rule:
Actions: Exec DetermineSalesTerritory

DetermineSalesTerritory:
Exec TestWesternRegion
Exec: TestEasternRegion
etc.

TestWesternRegion
IF lead.state = 'WA'
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

IF lead.state = 'OR'
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

If lead.state = 'ID"
Action: AssignLeadtoWestern

etc.

And then of course:
AssignLeadtoWestern
Action:
Assign Object: SalesGeek

Extending Grid Results in Personal Settings

Posted: 03 Apr 2005 07:01 PM PDT

So, you're saying you made an unsupported change to the form to modify the
values ??? haven't tried this one yet, but I don't know if it works (as you've
seen).

Check the UserSettings table to see if it's storing the proper new value. It's
possible there is an edit on the backend that is defaulting the value even
though you are posting what you want. The edit is probably defaulting what it
considers an "invalid" value and putting it back to 25.

I know I have been sucessfult in manually updating this value in the table and
having it work, but obviously the change won't stick if changes are made again
via the form.

Word 2013 changing Backspace input to Scroll+NextPage

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:10 PM PDT

I have one of my mouse buttons custom assigned to perform a backspace when pressed. This is useful for editing and works everywhere else, including on browsers, videogames, and other word processing software. I just installed Word 2013 and, instead of giving me a backspace, pressing the button scrolls me to the top of the next page. If I press it again, it scrolls me to the top of the following page. Even more bizarre, another mouse button I have assigned to the input "Alt+Right" scrolls me to the top of the current, and then previous page. These effects also look different from regular page-up and page-down.

I've only seen this behavior on Word 2013, so it makes me think there's some sort of command override in the software somewhere. All my other custom mouse buttons work fine. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix this? Thanks.

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 07:27 AM PDT

I've read the other threads on Quick Style sets and haven't found an answer that works for me, so I'm going to ask again hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm having an issue where some of the styles in a style set I save don't stick the next time I apply the style. I'm pretty savvy with Word: I've got Normal style set how I want it; I've made sure styles are "Based on" appropriate styles; etc. I have two different style sets I have to use, one for our customer and one internally. I set the styles, save the respective documents as Quick Style Sets, but when I close Word, reopen, and try to apply a set, some of the styles haven't stuck. This particularly happens with my "List Bullet Last" styles (i.e., last line of a bulleted list) at all levels: the bullets vanish from the style set, even though they're "Based on" the appropriate "List Bullet" style. Other style settings (e.g., Headings) seem to come through just as I've set them. Thank you.

Spell Check Stops Working on Office 2013

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 06:27 AM PDT

We have over 100 computers running Windows 7 and Office 2013. There was a recent update which caused major issues and now some of the user's are experiencing issues with the Spell Check. It does not work for the English language which is the default language. It shows as if the proofing tools are not installed. I spoke to Microsoft about this and they said it might have been related to the update and suggested to do an Online Repair on Office. I have done this to resolve the issue but now the user's who's Office was repaired are having the same issue again.

Excel import from Word: Extracting data from merged cells in a Word 2010 Table using VBA

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 03:34 AM PDT

Hello!

I have a number of Word 2010 docs I am extracting information from into an Excel 2010 document using VBA macros.

The Word 2010 document has a table in with merged cells; both vertically and horizontally.

when I run the Excel VBA macro to extract the information from the Word table I get a

"Run-time error 5991:
cannot access individual rows in this collection becuase the table has vertically merged cells."

I am pointing to the cell in the Word table from Excel using oActiveDoc.Tables(5).Rows(4).Cells(2)-  the first two rows have their first cells merged.

This cell is merged with...
...this cell
This cell has the information I want.

So... short of opening each doc and manually unmerging cells is there a way in VBA to referance rows in a Word table when some preceeding rows have *some* of their cells merged?

Any help much appreciated,

Richard

Footnote numbering style

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 02:37 AM PDT

I would recommend to change Numbering format listbox to match the numbering formats that are used as regular numbering - thus you could define your own numbering styles (i.e. *), *-, *.) or choose from existing, not just choose the number style (i.e.. 1,2,3/a,b,c ...). It maybe is possible to somehow change it, however I did not find way how. (or at least change the custom mark edit box to have the same functionality as Number format edit box has in Numbering format form)

Can I restrict editing of an image?

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 01:38 AM PDT

Hi,

There seem to be similar questions on here but not quite what I'm after...

I need to 'lock' floating images in my word document so that they cannot be moved or resized.

(My images are anchored to the page' not text and although the anchor is 'locked' the image can still be edited which I don't want)

I have tried the Developer 'Restrict Editing' tools but it seems that my images can still be changed - restricting editing seems to only apply to text(?).

I don't want to put the images in a header/footer for a number of reasons.

I usually use InDesign where I can simple lock and item and am new to Word so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Microsoft Word slow to open Open Dialog Box

Posted: 19 Aug 2014 12:44 AM PDT

Running Windows 8.1, Office 2010.  Just recently Word started to act up and when I open up Word for the first time, then click OPEN, the Open windows shows up, but it takes more than 15 secs for the window to populate with my folders.  All folders are on my local drive (not on a network drive).  I've tried disabling Norton Antivirus and then opening the Open Dialog box, but it's still slow.

After the window finally populates, if I close the window and then try again to open the Open DIalog box, there is no delay.

Any suggestions?

Macro to Pull Footnotes

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 10:36 PM PDT

Hi All -

First off thanks as always - always appreciate the advice given here.

Is there a macro available (or would it be possible to create one) that pulls all footnotes and preferably puts them in a table. I have documents (many) with 200+ footnotes that I want each footnote in a new row in a table. If that's not possible - at least copying them unformatted to a new document would be an okay start.

Again thanks!

I would like to remove "Comment [A1]"

Macros disappear

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:26 PM PDT

They were all stored in normal.dot.

I usually first record a dummy macro through the keystrokes and then manipulate them as I need them. Somehow, I find this a more convenient way to record a macro.

It is not only the macros that have gone. I use regular expressions, and Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5 was also in my reference list for regex to work. The reference was also gone too.

I need to know how to set up black as my default type, color. It never occurred to me that it wouldn't be.

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 04:20 PM PDT

I am trying to make good looking documents formatted in a specific way. Typical of my trade, which is that of a writer so I need black type using Times new Roman 12 point regular I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to communicate to write anything because I am disabled. I only have the use of one hand and all the fingers on it, so forgive me if this formatting is strange because Dragon can be cantankerous. Usually I go back and fix all the mistakes because that's the only way Dragon learns, but sometimes for emails I let it go. For my writing. I perfect, everything because I have a degree in English and a Masters degree in creative writing, but that's not the point point is to create a good-looking template and I have one on my Macintosh, so I know I can do it, but I had the same trouble with the Mac in that it was doing whatever color it wanted, but I think I've fixed it on my Mac because I've been using a Mac for about 25 years, whereas I've been using a PC for about three years so I'm not as good with it, and my writers template is not perfected so often I write on the PC move the document to the Mac formatted, then move it back to the PC. I would like to cut out some of these steps, because they are redundant, but I have been reluctant to give up my Macintosh, because I used the PC for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, although I am beginning to use the PC for most everything, including email and searching the web. But right now I need a good template set up the way that my profession requires. And of course it requires black ink. Thank you for any and all help.
Also, sometimes I pick up my email from my Mac, so I'm a little slower responding because then I have to find it on my Dell in Outlook, a dreadful program. Black is the default text color. I opened a blank page and started speaking into it and all the text was black. So I guess that is the default color, which makes sense

Need to combine several protected documents into one continuous multi-page document

Posted: 18 Aug 2014 03:15 PM PDT

Hello,

I need to combine several protected WORD documents into ONE continuous mufti-page document.

I am using Microsoft Word 200\7.  Documents I need to combine are password protected and must remain that way.

Documents were created with most recent version of Microsoft Word (but that should make no difference).

Due to protection on documents, I am unable to copy/paste identical format into new word document.

So, any ideas on how to accomplish what I need to do?  Am I attempting the impossible?
