Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro

Microsoft Word - Picture text wrapping format macro


Picture text wrapping format macro

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 03:34 PM PDT

I have tried to create a macro in Word 2007 to format the text wrapping of pictures to TopandBottom.  I'm not very knowlegeable about VBA code, but using examples and help, I've come up with the following.

Sub PictureFormat()

Set myDocument = ActiveDocument
With myDocument.Shapes(1).PictureFormat
Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTopandbottom
.RelativeVerticalPosition = _
 wdRelativeVerticalPositionParagraph
 .Left = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Right = CentimetersToPoints(3)
 .Top = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .bottom = CentimetersToPoints(2)
 .WrapFormat.DistanceLeft = 0.2
 .WrapFormat.DistanceRight = 0.2
 End With

End Sub

There may be code that isn't necessary and I am sure I am missing some essential code.  All I want to be able to do is click on a picture, hit a macro that changes the text wrapping to Top and Bottom so that any text will appear under the picture.  If anyone can help me, I would be sooo grateful.  I've tried really hard to figure out VBA code, but I'm lost.

Thank you in advance

Word not working, something to do with the normal template?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:57 PM PDT

When I open word this message appears:

'Word automatically saved changes to the normal template, do you want to load it?

Yes    No

Regardless of what I choose, word stops working properly immediately and closes.

I have tried:

- Disabling all start up apps

- Working through the word troubleshooter - which says there is a problem that it can not fix but doesn't say what

- Office repair

Now on top of this once I worked through the office repair it now wants me to activate office again, it doesn't recognise my email address and I don't have the product key anymore as I got office over a year ago on a **** little card.

So .......... so far I have made the original problem MUCH worse and I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it because I have no meaningful information to go on and don't know what I am doing at all.

If someone can help me that would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Lana

Word and Languages

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 01:49 PM PDT

can I download word in multiple languages?

I know You can download word in different languages, but it replaces the current Microsoft word.

but I need Microsoft word in multiple languages at the same time (multiple word programs at once)

one in English (have it)

one in German

and one in Italian

So is there a way to have the Word application in each of these languages without replacing the others? Or do I have to do something else (possibly illegal)

why: cause im taking German and Italian and the teachers want us to use Word in the respective languages...

Suddenly, Word 2007 is in Compatibility Mode

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT

I have been using Office 2007 Word for years with no compatibility problem with any Word documents, no matter how old they were.  Suddenly, and by "suddenly" I mean this behavior never existed before this morning, all documents except newly created ones open in compatibility mode. 

The only thing I have done differently than normal was this morning I ran a document compare between a Word 2003 document and a Word 2007 document.  Now, and seemingly only since then, all my old documents are opened in compatibility mode.  Instead of graphics, table of contents, page numbers, etc,  tags are displayed and formatting is off.   This was never the case prior to this morning.  It's like running that compare woke some evil Word demon up.  If I give up and convert a document the formatting is off, and tags instead of things like page numbers still show until I print.   

So what changed?  I did not touch Word options or make any Word configuration changes.  The only thing I did differently was for the first time I can remember I used the compare feature and noticed seemingly all of the sudden I have this compatibility 'feature.' I have used this same installation of Word 2007 on my personal machine for approximately 6 years, and my last upgrade was a year ago to Windows 8.  And I have automatic updates disabled to prevent new surprise features. 

I have worked through the reams of internet posts on this topic and have subsequently checked that the file save option is set to docx (which it was), I have inserted the Dword "CompatMode=0" into the registry (there was not one prior), and I have renamed the normal.dot to another name.  No difference.  

I appreciate any help, but what I don't need is an explanation of how Word compatibility mode works.  I would love to know why it all of the sudden came on, and how do I get back to not having it mess up all my older files?   I cannot accept the stock answer I often see that 'this is just how Word 2007 works' because it didn't for me for years until this morning.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Security issues in distributing fillable MS Word forms

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:29 AM PDT

I need to create a fillable form in Word 2010 (Win7) that can be distributed thruout the company.  Users must be able to store this form on their desktop, click on it to open it, fill it out, then email it to a single specific email address.  I'd like to automate the email by adding a macro with the email address hard coded into the .docx distribution file.  Ideally, they fill in the form and click on Submit to email the completed form.

I know how to construct the form.  I can construct the macro for the email process.  My big question is security.  That is, if I distribute such a form, will it not be able to be opened on some computers because it contains a macro?  E.G., those with local admin rights might be able to open it but others would not.

Also, the form will have checkboxes, plain text, Rich text, and comboboxes.  Do any of these controls also carry with them security issues that would prevent us from wide distribution thruout the company?

Many thanks for any and all ideas on this,

Mark

 

Opening word it says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product. You should repair the office program by using control panlel.

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:26 AM PDT

My computer stopped and I was able to recover everything.  But now it will not let me get into microsoft word program.  It says microsoft office cannot verify the lisence for this product.  You should repair the office program by using control panlel.  I did that.  I did the quick repair and then the long reapir and then I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Nothing worked.  The other parts of Microsoft office work  I believe, but not the word.  Thanks  - Actually I was incorrect.  None of the Microsoft office downloads work. 

Dictionary Tool Not Working

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 11:19 AM PDT

The define tool or dictionary tool under the review tab in Word isn't working. It says I need to be signed in, but I am signed in on Office. When I click on the sign in button a pop-up box appears. It looks like it's about to do something, but the box disappears less than a second after it appears.

Under trust center settings I have the box check where it says "Allow Office to Connect to the Internet." The only thing that makes me question what's happening is the yellow triangle with a "!" in the middle by my name in the top right hand corner. I blacked out my name but you still see the triangle. What should I do?

Can anyone give me the numbers for the red orange color scheme?

F1 Key and Help Function spawning multiple ad windows in Chrome

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:26 AM PDT

This odd behavior occurs across all Office 2013 applications I have tried - Word, Excel, Visio, and Powerpoint.  

Hitting F1 or invoking the help function from any in-program help shortcut when having Chrome set as the default web browser invokes an avalanche of separate browser tabs, each bearing one iteration of whatever ads are being served on the main MS help site.  These tabs keep multiplying as long as any help window is is open, until Chrome is overwhelmed by the sheer number of open tabs, and crashes.  

While I know MS would prefer that I use IE, my work location mandates use of Chrome.  Switching isn't an option.

Are others experiencing this? Any advice on mitigations?    

Thanks in advance for any/all help or advice.  -kbs

Problems with drawing canvas copied from Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 09:04 AM PDT

I regularly need the capability to create a 'Shapes' drawing in Word, and then create a JPG file from the canvas so that I can duplicate the content elsewhere (e.g. on blogs).

The problem is that the resulting images are "dirty", meaning that there is some sort of faint smudging all around the text parts, and I spend ages trying to clean them up first. The quality is terrible, otherwise, and I simply cannot use the image-file versions.

I would like to know what causes this so that I can avoid it. The problem happens in Word 2007 & 2010, and on multiple machines. I have tried taking a screen or application snapshot (using the 'print screen key'), and I have tried copy-and-pasting the canvas into Microsoft Paint and saving it from there, but the effect is always the same. It is easily demonstrable.

If I create them in Visio then the images are clean, but I prefer using Word as there is always considerable commentary to accompany those drawings.

Link excel text to word document?

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:28 AM PDT

Hello, 

I'm trying to insert text from an Excel 2010 file into a Word 2010 document using the "paste link" as an RTF. This works until the document is closed. When opening the the document, the 'update link' option is no longer available. When you right click and select 'object', a pop-up box indicates the object is "corrupt or no longer available".

I have multiple tables from the same Excel file "pasted as link" as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, that do update correctly every time, so it's not the excel file. What I'm trying to do works with the text when pasting the link as an embedded Microsoft excel worksheet object, but I'd like to have this as text because using the worksheet object looks horrible from a presentation / formatting stance. 

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

Word 2013 Can't Open Files on Flash Drive

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 04:51 AM PDT

Word 2013 won't open office documents when they're on a flash drive. But If I copy them to my hard drive they open fine. Any documents I place on the flash drive have the same problem.

This also happens with PowerPoint and Excel documents, so I'm thinking it's an Office issue.

And in Office 2010 on a different laptop, it's the exact same issue. And with 5 different flash drives. So I have no idea what's causing it.

This is the splash screen

First it says "Starting..." then it says "Contacting [file path]" and the loading dots keep moving and it never opens. It's the same with PowerPoint and Excel.

Any ideas?

Copying several boxes in Word

Posted: 29 Aug 2014 02:07 AM PDT

I am trying to make name plates for a meeting. I have created a horizontal box on the bottom half of a landscape page and typed the name of the speaker in the box. Then I copied the box, flipped it around and moved it to the top of the page. Once the page is printed, if I fold the paper in half, the name appears on both sides of the nameplate.

I would like to do with for several people but I cannot seem to be able to copy the two boxes together. I've tried holding down shift to select the two boxes but it won't let me paste both. I've tried opening the clipboard and doing it through that, but no luck. The only way I can do this now is to resave the document every time and type in a name for each document or copy a single box, copy and flip and adjust it each time, neither of which are particularly efficient ways of working.

Can someone help me? I'm starting to tear my hair out!

Thanks.

endnotes in Word

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:42 PM PDT

In submitting a manuscript to a publisher, they ask that the references (endnotes in the manuscript) be submitted separately from the body of the manuscript and that the body of the manuscript should not have the references (which are in fact, endnotes).  But if the endnotes are stripped from the body of the manuscript, the reference numbers in the manuscript will be lost. 

Is there a way, to cut the reference list at the end of the manuscript without losing the reference numbering in the text?

Office will not open

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 06:43 PM PDT

The box suggested going to "Programs and Features" on the Control Panel. This was no help.

Vista Sleep Mode and Office 2007

Posted: 23 Apr 2007 02:19 AM PDT

In addition to what others might have suggested there are a number of known
issues with Windows Vista and sleep/hibernate/standby that are similar in
nature to the problem you describe. Unfortunately, none exactly match the
description you have provided. After returning from standby check the event
log to see if anything is listed in the system log in regards to devices not
properly returning from standby.

By chance do you have an external USB keyboard/mouse installed? If so, that
may be the cause (.e.g the USB bus isn't properly returning from standby and
as a result causes what appears to be problems with applications hanging).

Server based Office 2013 - New template, template not showing header content in one work station only

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:53 PM PDT

This is for Server based Office 2013 - using Word 

All computer work stations are running Windows 7 professional

I have Word 97 - 2003 templates saved on the shared drive on the server. I have these templates "pinned" to the opening page on all server user accounts, so when anyone starts word on the server anyone can see the company templates.

On most of the work stations, when I create a new document from one of my templates - Word successfully shows all the Header and Footer details.

But on one work station there is no content in the Header or Footer, no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.

Any suggestion 

problem with ContentControls and templates

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I am pulling my hair out over content controls and templates in Word 2010. Here's the situation:

 

I have a .docx document (not saved in Compatibility Mode) with a number of content controls. I set them up the way I want them. I select the entire document and, in the Developer tab, group the controls together as per this page to protect the doc. Testing my document, I can fill out the content controls—select from dropdowns, toggle checkboxes, pick dates, enter text, etc. Because of the protection, I cannot edit anything except the content of the controls, which is exactly what I desire.

 

For the heck of it, I open the VBA editor and, in the Immediate window, run this line of code:

 

    ?activedocument.contentcontrols.count

 

It gives me back 173 as the count.

 

I save my doc as a .dotx template.

 

Now, if I just open the template itself, I can fill out the content controls as before, I cannot edit the rest of the doc, and the count of the controls in the template is the same as in the document it was created from: 173.

 

But if I create a new document based on the template, I cannot add content to the controls. I cannot select anything from the dropdowns or enter text in the text fields or click checkboxes or anything else I am expecting to be able to do. My placeholder texts show but when I click on the controls, nothing happens. I can, however, edit the rest of the document's content, which I shouldn't be able to do.

 

If I get the count of content controls in the new document, it gives me back 0. Yet clearly something is still there in my doc, since I can see the placeholder text for the controls.

 

I'm obviously missing something, but what? How can I get this to work the way I need it to work?

How do I make the spell check in Word 2013 work with words in other languages that end in a symbol?

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 01:42 PM PDT

I have recently switched from using Word 2007 to using Word 2013, and I've run into a problem. Here is the problem:

    I am using the spell check to check spelling in a different language. I have my custom dictionary set up and for the most part it all works well. However many of the words have a glottal mark. An apostrophe can be used for this, but that confuses the spell check. Therefore I have it set up to use another symbol. I think the symbol I am using is called a "Latin Small Letter Saltillo" (Shortcut key: A78C, Alt+X). In most cases this does not make a problem. However when a word that ends with a glottal, for example "cꞌabaꞌ" comes just before a comma, period, or just about any punctuation, the spell check does not recognize the glottal and therefore considers the word to be misspelled.

   An additional problem this creates is, lets say perhaps I have that word "cꞌabaꞌ" in my work somewhere and I forgot to add the glottal at the end. So when the spell check catches that word, I choose "Change All" to the correct spelling with the glottal. The spell check automatically changes all of them it comes to them until it runs across one that comes directly before some punctuation. After it adds that needed glottal it immediately closes its eyes to the glottal and sees that word again without a glottal. So it ads another one, and then another. Zooooom, and it ends up with somewhere around 60 glottal marks on the end of the word before it finally gives up on considering it misspelled!

   Word 2007 worked fine with this issue of glottal marks before other punctuation. Is there some settings option I had set differently in Word 2007 or what is the difference that Word 2013 cannot understand this like Word 2007 did? 

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Unicode with tables seems to generate: "The xml data is invalid according to the schema"

Hello, 

Why would the presence of Unicode characters (not entities) and tables cause the parsing error in the title?

I am editing the raw xml from the document as a single XML file and using PERL to convert entities to unicode characters. It seems to work in a lot of cases but fail in some specific instances, like when there is minimal text and a table.

Template with autopopulating data - please help!

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 09:01 AM PDT

Hello,

I need to create a template for work which has a lot of repeating data in it - eg 'full name' and 'preferred name' get repeated a lot and each time have to be repeated manually which is very time consuming and it would save everyone a lot of time and headaches if we could create a simple form whereby once you enter the information once it will automatically populate all the rest of the instances.

The program we are using is word2010 and it is safe to assume I am somewhere between casual user and functional idiot but i'm very able to follow instructions if provided. I've already searched this but keep coming back to Visual Basic and frankly I'm scared of this - please let me know if there is an easy way of doing this.

And whilst I'm already asking for miracles just on the offchance - there are various options that people have to choose for each one of these forms but they are between a maximum of say 6 options - they are quite text heavy (couple of paragraphs) - is there a way of presenting these as a drop down menu so they would just have to pick option a, b , c etc?

thank you all for your time

very very much appreciated

Best wishes

I have a pre-existing document (that is essentially a pieced together conglomeration of many other documents). The document contains many Section Breaks instead of Page Breaks. 

I'm trying to insert footers using VBA, with the first footer being different than all other pages.  The code below would work perfectly IF my document had Page Breaks instead of Section Breaks, but alas, if I try to use it in my Section-Break-filled documents, all pages get the same footer. 

  • If I have "Different first page" checked in the Page Setup, then all pages get "This is the first page footer"
  • If I have "Different first page" unchecked in the Page Setup, then all pages get "This is the primary footer"

Any suggestions on how to get this to work so that I can set the first page footer independently of the footer on the rest of the pages?

Dim oSection As Section
Dim oFooter As HeaderFooter
Dim oRng As Range
For Each oSection In ActiveDocument.Sections
    For Each oFooter In oSection.Footers
        If oFooter.Exists Then
            Set oRng = oFooter.Range
            Select Case oFooter.Index
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterPrimary
                    oRng.Text = "This is the primary footer"
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterFirstPage
                    oRng.Text = "This is the first page footer"
                Case Is = wdHeaderFooterEvenPages
                    oRng.Text = "This is the even page footer"
            End Select
        End If
    Next oFooter
Next oSection

Continue writing in previous outline level in Word

Hi All

I'm writing a document and I'm using Headers and associated outline levels

I've got levels from n to n.n.n

I'm trying to figure out whether its possible to add text to level 1.1 after I've added several 1.1.n, i.e.

1. Some header

some text

1.1 some sub-header

some text

some level 1 text [I want this to be associated with level 1]

The idea is that if I collapse header 1.1 I still see the following text but if I collapse header 1 I don't.

Any thoughts?

(secondary to that, if the above is possible, I'd love to get ideas as to how to graphically indicate that I've moved back to level 1.

Thanks

What does the August 2014 update for Word Starter 2010 do? What is it for?

I keep receiving a popup telling me that an update to Word Starter 2010 is available, click to run.  Starter 2010 was installed on my laptop before it was purchased (Toshiba Satellite),  before the starter edition had a time limit introduced.  It was then made into a time limited trial.  I need to know what the update is before I download it - in case a time limit is implemented!  I really do not need to pay for full office ......

Office 2010 - Default font format

Posted: 28 Aug 2014 02:10 AM PDT

I upload files of text to Amazon Kindle (I write them in Word, convert them to HTML and then upload).  Kindle require that I write main body text only using default settings – ie with no 'forced' settings as to e.g. alignment, font colour, font size etc.  My problem seems to be with font colour. It must be set to 'Automatic' (so that if a reader chooses a dark background the font colour will adjust automatically) but the Kindle people tell me that, by the time my files arrive with them, the "Automatic colour option is pointing to red color; please let's make sure," they say, "the Automatic option points out to a black color".

 

Using the font dialogue box I have checked that the font is set (by default) to Automatic, and the colour in the box is black, so can anyone please tell me what more I should be doing?

 

Thank you.

AccountBase Fields

Posted: 20 Apr 2005 11:21 AM PDT

You're not missing anything. Rather than looking in the tables look in the
views. You will find the Account view contains all the fields you see in the
deployment manager. The Account view is made up of several tables including
AccountBase and CustomerAddressBase. Only the first two addresses are shown
in this view.

You will also find it useful to look in the views for other entities too
such as Incident (Case) and Contact. I like it because it joins a lot of
things for you so in a contact you can see the AccountIdName for the name of
the account and the actual user names of who created and modified stuff.

There is a cost to this though. You will be joining table in the background
so if you know what you need is just in the table and you want to retrieve a
lot of records you should use the table not the view.

The views are also interesting in that they are created by the metadata
services so don't try changing them.

Now, now JB...

First, CRM is not a 'Point of Sale' application, that's the Retail
Management software... (Hopefully you weren't the salesperson, just
the tech trying to implement... Been there...)

While you can't remove these fields from the form, you can create a new
tab (I like to call the tab "Useless Fields", and move all of the
Shipping fields into a new section on that form. That way, you can at
least remove them from the forms people really need to use...

Ambiguous Today Date

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 08:53 PM PDT

This is one of my biggest grips with CRM. It stores dates as time/dates.
Not only does it do it that way but it stores them in GMT. Some dates should
be dates not time/dates such as birthday etc.

The system ignores the local users locale setting and uses whatever timezone
is set in their profile, click on thier name in the top left corner while
they are logged in. The actual time is calculated based on the system clock
of the server too.

Be very careful if you update dates from SQL as you will be several hours
out unless you are working in GMT.

Unfortunaly you cannot set the user timezone as an administrator they can
only do it themselves. Have a look in the systemuserbase table to see if any
of them have changed it and others not. I wrote a script that goes through
and sets them all the the right timezone on a nightly basis as this was
killing me and thier perseption of data integrity.

John,

Thank you for the reply. I double checked the fields to make sure there
were no remaining constraints. The only one I found was for the owner field
which is system controlled. I restarted the Workflow service with no luck,
but rebooting the machine fixed the issue. Maybe i only needed to restart
iis? Anyway, the import works now, thanks again for your reply.

Yes, MSCRM is heavily customisable.

Delete/Re-name Users

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 11:09 AM PDT

Thank you for the speedy reply Christian,

I have found on this site how to remove the license from the disabled user.
Thanks for your advice on that one. It would seem easier to be able to delete
a user but, Oh well! So be it.

In regards to point #1: I am not quite sure what you mean.
for instance I have an AD user named rjend that never uses MSCRM and a user
named ians that I want to give the license to. Will ians have to login as
rjend? If this is the case, I should just disable rjend, reclaim the license
and create a new user.

thanks for your help.

CRM Disaster Recovery

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 07:55 AM PDT

Scott,

While not solely for data recovery, CRM customers are finding solace in
the peace of mind that comes from auditing all CRM transactions in a
seperate SQL database. Our VAST CRM add-on application tracks all
changes (by trapping post-callout events), and writing the current
state of each record into 'shadow' tables in our VAST database.

While we don't have any automated disaster recovery functions (yet), as
soon as you install VAST, you will have the latest version of all CRM
records in another SQL database. If a true, no backup exists disaster
occurs, VAST will at least give you a chance of recovering your
critical customer information.

For more information, please see http://www.vscrm.com
Thanks,

Dave

CRM SFO over VPN - get Error 10061:Connection Refused from Firewal

Posted: 19 Apr 2005 06:35 AM PDT

er, I am the tech guy!
I understand that it's going to be a restriction on the firewall somewhere,
as the error is coming from the ISA firewall.

I guess my question is really - what is CRM Sales for Outlook doing to want
to go to the firewall - ie: are there any additional ports that need to be
open? I don't really understand why it would work okay in the office, but not
over VPN?

Laura's right, but in my experience, uninstalling / reinstalling shouldn't
take more than a couple of hours, (leave the databases on the server and
then just re-connect with them during the reinstallation. - I've spent much
more time than that trying to untangle the mess on a test server that got

Thanks for the tip. It worked like a charm.

We're still small enough that it's quicker to change each computer myself,

2 MSCRM systems on 1 network

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 03:36 PM PDT

There is 1 gotcha though: the Exchange router only handles inbound email for a
single implementation.

If you are going to be using the SFO client for both installs, then I would keep
the DB's seperate. If you are isntalling different versions, then you need to
abide by all the licensing constraints of the EULA. This would typically mean
you need seperate licenses.

My current set up is just the single server, 1 workstation, and 1 Cisco 837
router controlling my internet gateway. Since nothing is in production and I
have no confidential data stored on anything connected to this network I have
left the router wide open while troubleshoting. I even tried completely
disabling the integrated windows firewall, pop-up blocker, and opened up the
internet options security settings to allow everything. I have also
discovered some KDC errors in my logs that appeared after the second time I
removed and reinstalled SQL and CRM. The errors say I have duplicate
accounts. Neither a visual nor an LDIF utility search turn up any duplicate
user or computer accounts.

I have now reintialized my drives and am starting from scratch. Maybe I'll
try not installing service pack 1 this time. I'm hesitant to do that though
because I'm afraid it will leave me vulnerable when i do go into production.
I'll have to install the client side patches anyway since my workstations
have XP SP2.

Automatic Email Generation

Posted: 18 Apr 2005 06:48 AM PDT

On the CRM server open Workflow Manager. The email you mentioned is triggered
by a won opportunity. Select Opportunity from the dropdown to view the
workflow rules. Right-click the appropriate rule and deactivate it so you can
edit it. Then double-click it to open it and locate the line in the rule that
sends the email. Double-click the line to view the email. Deselect the
template that the email is sending and, in the recipients portion, select the
appropriate CRM users that you want to receive the email. In the body of the
email, you can type this text:

An opportunity has been won from &opportunity.customeridname; with an
estimated revenue of &opportunity.estimatedvalue;

This will put the data into the email and let you send it to your co-workers
instead of your customers!

Create a view from customers based on a data field from Accounts.

Posted: 15 Apr 2005 02:07 PM PDT

Eric,

There are a couple of other options within the core product.

1) Create the same field on the Contact, placing the same values in the
picklist. If you create contacts from the account (Actions | Add
Related | Contact), then you can add to the mapping definitions in
Deployment Manager, and map the Account Rel Type to your custom RelType
field. (Not much work, and you'll probably get an 80-90% solution
from it.) (And you don't need to show the Contact Rel Type field on
the form, yet still have the mappins work.)

2) You could write a Windows service (ASPX page, using the API/SDK)
that went through all accounts and updated all contacts whose Rel Type
didn't match the parent account's reltype.

3) As RelType is a picklist, you could write a JavaScript script for
the OnChange event. I'm not a Javascript expert, but I do know you have
that data available. You should be able to write out the new Rel Type
value and the Account GUID out to a custom database and table. Then a
DB trigger or Windows service monitor could that table, and create an
ASPX page that updates all of the contacts with this Parent Account
GUID to the new RelType.

4) In CRM 2.0, you should be able to create this type of view.
(Advanced Find will allos queries from multiple tables, and you can
save them. Not quite the same as views, but it might be close enough.)

So, I guess if I were you, I'd do the mapping idea suggestsed in #1,
and start to try and write an ASPX page to update Contacts using the
API. (If you're good with SQL, it would be trivial to write a stored
procedure that returned the contacts that needed updating as the source
of data to this ASPX page.)

HTH,

Dave
