Microsoft Word - Repeating a Text Form Field in a Document Header

Microsoft Word - Repeating a Text Form Field in a Document Header

Repeating a Text Form Field in a Document Header

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 01:31 PM PDT

In the attached document (form), the table on Page 1 includes text form fields that are filled in by users.  I need the contents of each field to populate into duplicate fields in the document odd page header.  The users can't populate the header because the header is disabled when the form restriction is on.

Document is not attached - didn't realize when I submitted this question that it was going out to the microsoft community and the form has confidential content.

Tracked Changes Lost in Document when E-mailed

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 01:15 PM PDT

I believe this question has been posed before, but some time has passed and the answer given didn't solve my problem.  I apologize in advance if this seems repetitive. 

I recently tracked changes in a short document (Word 2013) with the intent to e-mail it to another person for review and finalization.  I noticed that when I attached the document to the e-mail (Outlook), when opened, the document no longer showed any of the changes (just the line on the edge).   I e-mailed it to myself (as a test), so I know the settings were correct, but it took significant messing around  with the settings to display even one of the changes in the document.  Ultimately, I had to send the document with changes shown in blue font which I applied manually.  Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed to allow a recipient to view these changes without jumping through hoops?  If not, law firms in particular will have lost a significant and frequently-used tool when it comes to collaboration.

Thanks for any advice or hints. 

Cannot Change Imported Clip Art Into a Msoft Office Drawing Object

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 12:45 PM PDT

I recently upgraded to Windows 7, Office 2013. Previously I used XP and Office 2003. With the XP configuration I could import clip art from the internet, select 'Edit Picture' and in most cases I could convert the 'Imported Picture' to a 'Microsoft Office Drawing Object.' This allowed me to delete unwanted parts of the picture, change colors or resize selected parts,  and then regroup the remainder back into a single object. I did this on a 'Drawing Canvas'.  With the Windows 7 configuration the 'Edit Picture' option is never active for clip art in a Drawing Canvas. If I import to a Word page (rather than into a Canvas) then in RARE occasions the Edit Picture options is available but the result is not easy to edit and Group-Regroup is not active.  ( In a couple of rare cases I actually ended up with something like a MSoft Object.)  I notice that Office 2013 has many options under 'Format Picture' but these do not help me.  This is very frustrating because using clip art to write stories for my grandchildren is one of the main uses I have for a computer. Note: the path I use is' Insert>Online Pictures>Office.com Clip Art.' 

Any help will be much appreciated. 

 

Error message on Word Microsoft Office 2007

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 12:17 PM PDT

When I open Word ( Office 2007 ) appear an error message : "problem sending the command to the program" ... And I can' t acces the Word file, it shows to me a blue page. In Microsoft site I've seen the same problem ,but for Excel not for Word. How do I solve that ?

How to shrink space above and below text

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 11:53 AM PDT

What are my options for shrinking the space above and below text?

I'm thinking of specific text, where I'll know if there are any descenders (usually not, but not always).  The text is for signs that can be read by motorists passing our house, so eliminating un-necessary space between lines makes my sign more legible.

I know how to get to the Font settings, and its' Advanced options, but then I get lost on the definitions "Spacing", "Position" and "Kerning"

Mysterious Problem: Comments sometimes won't print

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 11:34 AM PDT

I have a very weird problem with Word.

It seems to happen only to me and it's happened with a number of documents in both Word 2010 and Word 2013, and on a desktop and now on my laptop!

I have a document with track changes and comments. Both are visible on my screen and in print preview, but when I print the document, the track changes are there but the comments aren't. There is a space for the comments, but not the comments themselves.

Other documents will print okay. Tomorrow, this one will probably print okay -- it seems totally random. Sometimes if I reboot, it will fix itself.

I've tried sending it to different printers, including to the PDF printer, and the same thing happens. There's a big blank space on the right to house the comments, but no comments.

When a colleague printed the same file, it printed fine.

Does anybody have any idea what could be going on? As I said, this has happened on two different computers with two different versions of Word - so it just isn't making any sense.

Mail merge with single first page, and multiple second pages

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 11:15 AM PDT

I'm having a really hard time figuring this one out...

I'm trying to use a mail merge to create a document that has a single first page, and then one or more second pages. 

This is my example (i work for the judiciary)

I have a one-page letter, cover sheet that is generated for each defendant.  It is a letter to a defendant stating that they are scheduled for court.

Then after this first page, there could be one OR more "second" pages.  i.e., there is a one-page court order that is generated for EACH DIFFERENT case that they have in our system.

Merge data spreadsheet (which is probably not set up right) looks something like this...

Name Address Phone Case #
Joe Smith 111 Street Ave 555-555-5555 11111-001
Joe Smith 111 Street Ave 555-555-5555 22222-002
Joe Smith 111 Street Ave 555-555-5555 33333-003
Jane Doe 222 Ave Road 666-666-6666 99999-009
Jane Doe 222 Ave Road 666-666-6666 88888-008
Rick Williams 333 court drive 777-777-7777 00000-000

The Excel sheet (outlined above), is auto-filled with a macro.  So the user isn't populating it manually.  It is grabbed from a different system...but i assume that is irrelevant to the question.

This table is a little bit dumbed down...there are a lot more fields.  But this is the general result that I'm looking for...

(Cover Letter Sheet)

Joe Smith

111 Street Ave

555-555-5555

(new page (first court order))

Case # 11111-001

(new page (court order for next case))

Case # 22222-002

(new page (court order for next case))

Case # 33333-003

(new page (for next def's cover letter))

Jane Doe

222 Ave Road

666-666-6666

(new page(first court order))

Case # 99999-009

(new page (court order for next case))

Case # 88888-008

(new page (for next def's cover letter))

Rick Williams

333 Court Drive

777-777-77777

(new page (for def's court order))

Case #: 00000-00

At first I was running a macro that stored both the cover letter and court order in autotext entries (this is how i've accomplished this type of problem before).  So, the macro inserted the cover letter autoext entry for the first person, fills in the address, etc.  Then loop through each case, inserting an order, filling in the case number, etc., for each case that they have.  Wash, rinse and repeat.  However this is a royal pain as trying to use section breaks, etc. in this situation is a nightmare.  It just never seems to follow the section break rules that i set up for it.  So i thought that a mail merge would be faster and much cleaner.  The second page(s) (court order) is a very complicated table...it has many many rows, columns, and lots of merge fields.  I tried looking into using headers, different first page, etc., doing nested mail merge, but neither seemed to help me solve my problem.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Is this something that can be done?  I'm pretty familiar with VBA, so using code to do this wouldn't be a problem..

Word 2013 won't save my paragraph formatting changes to the default template

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 11:11 AM PDT

When I open a blank document and start typing, the default formatting is applied.  When I go to change this (eg paragraph and line spacing), then set that as default, it doesn't apply the next time I create a new document.  Very frustrating. 

Display Commentor Name Instead of Initials in Comments in Word 2010

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 10:57 AM PDT

There are three people in my company who are working on a document ... all have the initials MC ... we are all adding comments to the document as a way of tracking the interaction. Problem is that the document displays all comments as [MC#] ... reviewing on screen is OK because the comments are differentiated by color by person - but reviewing the printed document is very difficult as the comments are renumbered every time someone adds a new comment (so [MC2] has been four different comments in three iterations of the document.

Is there anyway to force Word to display the User Name instead of initials in the comments?  Out company policy is such that the Office Personalization fields are populated with the correct User Names and initials so that fix didn't work.

I've done an internet search on at least 5 iterations of the question and haven't come up with anything.

Thank you in advance for your help.

"Freeze" a document to prohibit change

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 09:51 AM PDT

Some weeks ago, I made a rather large report on 27 pages with paragraphs, pictures, tables, text boxes, watermarks and all the other stuff you'd put in a report.

I marked the file as final and added my digital signature, so that everyone would know that this work i complete and should not be altered.

However, when I open the file on another computer which has Office 2013, the textboxes move slightly around, causing the text to rearrange and thus making number of pages to alter. Also, some tables would rearrange slightly.

My question is, is there a way to stop Word from rearranging minor details like that? As the file is marked as the final version and editing has been deactivated, it would stop people from altering it. Because it is supposed to be printed, it is quite annoying. The best thing to do would probably to freeze it somehow, if that is possible. I've already saved it as a PDF, but some details are lost in it, like watermark strength.

Also, if I open the document back at home, in Office 2010, nothing is changed.

Not able to insert building block entries with F3 when document opened from Share Point

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 03:38 AM PDT

Hi Experts

I am not really sure wether this is a Word or Share Point problem (?) I have created a document in Word 2010 and uploaded to OneDrive on a Share Point 2013 solution. If I open the document in Word (not in the WebApp) and type the name of a building block I need to insert followed by F3 a message is briefly show in the status bar saying "The specified text is not a valid building block name". However if selecting the building block from Insert, QuickParts there a no problems inserting the building block.

If saving the document to a local drive typing the building block name + F3 will insert the building block.

Any ideas?

Sudden fast-forward DELETE in Word 2010

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 03:14 AM PDT

I was typing a document in Word 2010, which I am well familiar with, when suddenly, without my apparently having touched anything by mistake or leaned on the keyboard, the document went into fast-forward-delete. I haven't lost much but the delete has now reached the end of the document and I can no longer make inputs although I can move the cursor. A small blue horizontal rectangle has appeared under the position of the space next to the last letter in my document. Can someone help please? I think this may be finger-trouble (Bullguard anti-virus is installed).

Thank you.

Disable cloud features

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 02:41 AM PDT

Hello everyone !

I want to buy a licence for word, but all i see on the store is these cloud features which i don't care and don't want due to privacy interests.

I see that we can install locally on both pc & mac (mac used here), and save documents locally rather than in the cloud (unbelievable...), okay.

But a miss-click is quickly possible, so is there a way to disable all personnal data send and all cloud/skydrive functions ? It's not mentionned in the office faq.

Thanks for replies ! :)

Document Properties Disappearing

Posted: 26 Aug 2014 02:15 AM PDT

I'm trying to add a document property COMPANY but every time I update (F9) or save, the property disappears.  It is not visible in document contents once I have added it either.  Strangely however, the property TITLE does not disappear and is visible in contents.  Any suggestions as to why this might be happening and if I'm missing something in regards to locking it into the properties?

Note: I am trying to create a header with fields for both TITLE and COMPANY, however, when saved or updated, only the company property disappears.

Thanks.

Hacking Word normal.dotx so as to add more than two Theme Fonts?

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 11:48 PM PDT

I have long been slowed down by the vast number of fonts displayed in the Word fonts drop down.

The addition of the ability to set theme fonts is cool but one can only set one font (or one for headings one for content).

I would like the ability to set a small subset of fonts so I do not need to scroll down the massive list of fonts. I use about

5 fonts, not 200 (?).

I am aware that there are other "solutions" (e.g. deleting fonts) but it is changing the fonts list so that my few fonts are always at the top that I am after so I would be greatful if you would be so kind as to limit this thread to ways of adjusting the word font dropdown menu, if there are any.


I tried hacking the theme font xml file in
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roami
based on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/documentformat.openxml.drawing.majorfont%28v=office.14%29.aspx
Adding
<a:font script="0TNR" typeface="Times New Roman"/>
hoping for a new shortcut at the top of the massive fonts list but no go.

Repeating Macro Changing Font and Size and Style

3. Then have the first line of text to have a Style of Heading 1
4. Save the file as .doc

Then possibly have it call another macro to have it do a Save As .docx

Word (Office 2013) continuously shuts off!

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:23 PM PDT

Hello,

I have just got a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and purchased the Office 2013 suite. I just started using Word (offline, without signing in as I finally figured out how to do that). I typed the first couple of lines and it closed off before I saved anything. I started it again and saved my document ahead and started working but it kept doing the same every few minutes. So frustrating as I cannot get anything done and I keep losing some of what I write between the saves.

Can someone tell me if there is something wrong with my "new" Office 2013 or is there something wrong I can be doing or I should have done? 

I am concerned if this is a way to say that Microsoft products are all geared towards saving the work in the clouds and this is to encourage the use of the OneDrive software? 

I really appreciate help as I need to use Word for sensitive projects and work. 

Thanks.

 

Word 365 very slow to open emailed/ web-based documents

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 07:57 PM PDT

I've been using Office365 for about a year now with no problems, but recently started having a problem opening Word documents when I receive them by email or from a website (locally stored documents don't seem to be a problem...). These are mostly very small, routine, one to five page, basic word docs (no fancy formatting, no photos etc. - - - just text. It is frustrating because (1) it can take up to several minutes for the document to load, and (2) my PC becomes unresponsive during this time - - cannot open or close other applications. I am using a desktop PC, Windows 8.1 (fully updated), Office 365, Rogers cable internet at 60mbps. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Mike Hyde, Ottawa, ON

How to make sub-numbering headers under existing headers

Posted: 25 Aug 2014 05:03 PM PDT

Hi, all, I paragraphed my doc with a set of headings (level 1) using 'Numbering' in Word 2010. Now I want to make paragraphs in each section. My question is how to make level 2 headings using 'Numbering' under existing heading number, e.g., 1.1, 2.2, so that the sub-numbers follow their section heading numbers.

"Missing" Cab files installing office 2007 on localized Vista

Posted: 19 Apr 2007 10:18 AM PDT

Hi Frank,

To add to Leon's reply.

Did you burn a CD/DVD from the image or are you mounting it as a virtual drive to do the installation? There have been problems
reported, for example, using Nero and the CD images it creates under Vista rather than another burner or an ISO mounting approach.

Was there a previous installation of Office 12/2007 on this computer?
(Beta or release product)?

Also, what is the 'localized' Vista definition you're using in this case?

Hi Gerry,

It's a rare occurrence that affects only a few people due to whatever
system configuration they have. Obviously the ones that don't have any

Base Config/Patch .MSP for a Terminal Server?

Posted: 17 Apr 2007 01:31 PM PDT

Hi Scott,

There were changes made after Office 2000 and basically, the 'lazy' way to do it would be to install Office 2007 to Terminal Server,
as Office 2007 sort of 'autochooses' feature settings as part of Setup (so do Office XP and Office 2003) based on the installation
in a Terminal Server/thin client environment.


There isn't, at present, that I'm aware of, a listing of which 'OCT' settings switch in that environment though, from the 'desktop'
environment variables.

================
<<"Scott Townsend" <nospam> wrote in message news:com...

Settings like turning off Menu Animations. Turning off the Help Wizard
animation guy and other things that were there to better run office in a
Terminal Environment.

Okay yeah I'm a bit lazy and wanted to not have to go through all 700
options in the OCT and figure out where to turn off some of this stuff. Was
hoping there was a Base version of a MSP file that was more for a Terminal
Server and then I could add my custom stuff to it.

Previous versions of Office won't uninstall when deploying Office

Posted: 17 Apr 2007 08:26 AM PDT

That is exactly what I am trying to do. It will uninstall if I use the
setup.exe file. It will uninstall if I use a custom .MSP file. Problem is
there is no way to uninstall through Group Policy. Since the software was
originally installed manually there is no upgrade path to remove it via GPO.

I would love to run around my company and uninstall all the clients, but
that would take quite some time. It would be better if there was a automated
way of doing this. Your approach is the ideal method, but not always a
practical one.

How to convert OneNote from trial using VLK

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 05:18 PM PDT

MSDN started providing some VLKs for their retail subscriptions a short
while ago. At the same time, they switched the media offered on MSDN
from the retail to the VL ones. Retail media (what the trial is) cannot
be activated with VLKs, but VL media can be activated by retail and VL
keys.
VLKs are a popular target for software pirates because they don't
require activation. As MS is making the media for Office 2007 readily
available to everyone via their trial downloads, this restriction helps
fighting the abuse of VLKs.

Using Office 2007?

Remove an Administrative Installation Point?

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 11:34 AM PDT

Hi Gerry,

The Office Admin Point has been replaced, in Office 2007, by the Office Network Installation Point (oNIP). The oNIP is created by
copying one (or more) Office 2007 products into a folder on the server.

The Local Installation Source (LIS) is no longer an optional item. It's a required feature on each box and is not supported as
'relocatable'. Setup is basically accomplished from the LIS. So the LIS can be precached/deployed ahead of time or as part of an
image and setup then runs pretty much 'local'.

Hi,

I've you uninstalled all Office 2003 clients that used to point to the
AIP, the re-installed as client only, then you can just delete the AIP.

What I do before deleting an AIP for any software product is run a scan
of all HKCR Classes to see if any of them are pointing to an old AIP.
I've not seen this with Office products, but have seen it with some
non-Microsoft products.

AIP is the superior technology, LIS is a joke. Is it true AIP won't be
available for Office 2007? <<

Office Docs won't open from Explorer

Posted: 14 Apr 2007 01:10 PM PDT

That is the same Office 2007 Diagnostics I've already run. No problems were
found. I don't assume the file associations are correct, but I did not
change them.

Again, on my Win XP Pro machine with Office XP Pro, the file associations
ran correctly. When I installed Office 2007 Pro, it uninstalled Office XP,
prior to installing Office 2007. Perhaps it mangled the file associations.
All I know is that when I click on a file from Windows Explore, the correct
Office Application is started, but it neglects to open the document.

Tell them this......YES you can do this, by removing some hardcode in the
forms, BUT that enters you into the "unsupported customization" arena, where
you're completly on your own. And if you ever upgrade, CRM will likely
break, or worse, if you ever need support and you mention this customization
they will refuse to help you.....

But as Peter mentioned, its a fallacy to think this resolves anything......

CRM and SQL Report Services (SRS)

Posted: 11 Apr 2005 11:40 PM PDT

Hi,

I have managed to do this successfully, but you need to create two web
sites, and distinguish them using host headers and extra DNS entries
(or ports, but host headers and dns entries are so much more
professional). First install CRM on the default web site, and then move
it to a new host header, and create the dns entry. Create a new default
web site and install RS. you can move this to a different host header
as well, but this requires another setting in one of the RS INI files
to be changed, where CRM is pretty happy to be moved around without any
extra settings.

Cheers,

Rex

Missing Product Catalog

Posted: 11 Apr 2005 02:56 PM PDT

I had assigned myself all of the Security Roles.

So, if we have the "Standard" version it is not included?

Also, the Action Pack says it comes with Professional but when I enter my
key it says we have Standard. Do I just need to request a new key?

THanks,

CRM Self help for dummies, need some general help, yes I'm a noob

Posted: 08 Apr 2005 09:53 AM PDT

You can not change activities forms, such as tasks, in the current version.
Other forms can be changed by going to the Home Page > Settings > System
Customization. Click on the entity you want to change and you will see many
options for customizing forms. After you change a form, you need to go on the
CRM server and open Deployment Manager for CRM. Right click on the top node >
All Tasks > Publish customizations. Then follow the wizard to publish them.
Lastly, you will need to reset IIS for the customizations to show up. You can
do this by going to Start on the CRM server, then click Run... Type cmd and
in the DOS window that opens type iisreset and press enter.

There is much more info on this newsgroup about customizing forms. Good luck.
By the way, if you want the minutes on tasks to show up as hours on your
reports, you can add a formula in Crystal to convert the minutes to hours.

ADUC and SMTP

Posted: 16 Apr 2007 10:52 AM PDT

I read that alright -

What I have noticed is the following -

On out local lan - we have 2 domains controllers - GC and the mail server.

On either on the DC's if we make any Exchange modification to the user
account in ADUC we get this message.

However on the mail server itself we do not have this problem.

Still investigating why...

Restarted services, and all the servers ..

Removed latest hot fixes on the last DC.

Reinstalled the exchange tools + service pack for exchange on the DC too...

Hi Lan,

Thanks for updating.

It is possible that some third party applications are causing this issue.
To isolate the influence of additional applications, please boot the
problematic client into a "Clean Boot" environment to see whether this
problem continues:

1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box, and then click OK.

2. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.

3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button.

4. Click OK and restart your computer.

Please also help me collect Message Tracking log for further research:

To enable Message Tracking:

Open ESM, on the General tab in the server's Properties dialog box, select
the Enable message tracking check box. After the issue is reproduced,
please wait about 15 minutes and then go to the message tracking folder and
collect the message tracking log for us.

Hello you all,

this is my configuration:

I have 2 sites. Both sites were running on a 2000 platform (win2000 with exchange2000)
In one of the sites I have installed two new servers, which are running as DC. A third server is functioning as mailserver (Exchange2003).
The original DC (Win2000 with Exchange 2000) has been running until yesterday.
The second site has been left untouched (completely running on Win2000 platform).

Since yesterday, I turned off the 'old' server (2000 DC and Exchange 2000). Everything seemed to be working fine, untill I tried to create a new user this morning.
The creation of the user works perfectly, but when this same user tries to connect to his mailbox (through outlook 2003), the following error message
displays:
'The name could not be resolved. The name could not be matched to a name in the address list'.

When I relaunche the 'old' server --> DC and Exch2000), the user can connect to his mailbox without any problems.

Anyone any idea what can be the cause of this? The old server has to be turned off because he frequently has hardware errors (end of lifetime....)

Any advise is welcome.

Richard,

I haven't met too many IT folk that would recommend a single point of
attack solution. We use a 3rd party device for spam and virus as well
as server/workstation based virus protection and IMF. This week, our
3rd party rejected over 35,000 messages (and we are a small school!) and
the IMF tried to take care of the ones that slipped through. I still
get some spam every day.

If we could manage it in the budget, I'd consider adding another 3rd
party device to try to reject more spam than I currently do.
