Word 2013 Headers question

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 02:49 PM PST

Hello,

I am able to have my page header grab the text of my chapter title on the page where "chapter title " is the name of the "style" that I apply to my chapter titles.  I want to grab all the chapter title EXCEPT its last 4 characters.  That is my question, how can I do it.

partially used label sheet

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 10:57 AM PST

I want to use up label sheets where only a few labels have been used. This is in the context of a merge mailing. I have looked on line, and studied the label set up screens, to no avail as yet.  Whereas some of the online advice shows pictures of a selection window where one can ask the printing to start in a certain column and row on the lable sheet, this option does not show up in the screens I see. I have also tried leaving empty rows in the source document for the labels, but this also does not have the desired effect. I am probably missing something as plain as the nose on my face, but cannot see it.  Any tips?

Can I get Word to warn me if a document is opened read-only?

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 08:57 AM PST

From time to time, when I open a Word document, it is opened read-only. I have no idea why this happens. It is fairly infrequent (3-4 times a month) and seems random. At least, I cannot see any connection with anything else that is going on. If I close the document and immediately reopen it, it is rarely read-only the second time and I can proceed.

 

The problem is not so much that it is opened read-only, but that I don't notice it, so I go about merrily on editing the document. When I try to save it, I get the Save As dialog. Then I have to save it under a different name, delete the old copy, and rename the new one. In addition to a being royal pain, it screws up my archive log.

Is there a way that I can have Word warn me whenever a document is opened read only? If I could just get a warning, I could avoid making a lot of changes that I cannot save.

If there is no setting for this, can I write a macro that runs every time a document is opened, checks for the read-only status, and puts up a MsgBix or something? If this is possible, can someone show m the necessary code and where to put it?

 

Thanks

How do I have footnotes default as flush left in Word 2013 rather than indent?

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 08:03 AM PST

In Word 2013 the footnote defaults to indent. I've attempted to remove the indent in "manage styles" for "footnote reference" but to no avail; there is no option to remove the indent. Could someone please assist me?

Floating footer

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 07:57 AM PST

I have a template that has a footer on the last page only.  I have used this template to create a document that has a table. The document is 2 pages long but the footer appears on page 3.  There is nothing on page 3.  I have tried deleting lines and adjusting margins and checking the page breaks.  I can't delete page 3 and have the footer on page 2.

Form with rich text content control that does not allow carriage returns (except shift-enter)

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 06:23 AM PST

I have a form (a data use agreement). The form is a flowing, paragraph style, with various types of content controls within the paragraphs. For some reason, the rich content control will not allow a true carriage return (enter) but only shift-enter. My users will not know to do that. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Word 2007 and Sharepoint 2010

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 05:13 AM PST

Can someone please clarify an question regarding the interaction of Word 2007 and a Sharepoint 2010 server.  When you access a Word 2007 file on SP, you can either check it out and edit, or just edit without checking out. Please clarify where the file being edited is located. When you check it out, you are asked whether you wish to use the local drafts folder - check box or not. If you don't check the local drafts box, i assume the file under edit remains on the server.

The other scenario is when you elect not to check out the file.  In this case, again I assume the file under edit remains on the server.

So what happens in either case when the server session times out or is broken?  Do you lose all your edits? I've noticed that when i've checked out a file and elect to use the local drafts folder that even if I lose server connectivity, when I close the Word file you will be asked if you wish to check in the document, if yes, then the server session is reestablished and the file is pushed back on to the server and maintains version control.

The essential question is what happens to edits on an unchecked out file when the server session times out or is broken?  

Thanks

 

Quick Parts in UserForm

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 05:01 AM PST

Hello,

I have a question. I want to integrate QuickParts into the UserForm. So that when the document is opened, the user will (by a pop up) be required to choose between options and Word then uses QuickParts to assemble the document based on these selections (there will be a couple in the document).

For example I can choose between "Oranges" and "Bananas" and if I choose "Oranges" then the previously created QuickPart will be used to insert a table telling the user the color, origin, taste, etc. in a table format. But I don't want the option to choose in the document, but to be prompted separately in the beginning.

Can someone please tell me, if that is possible and if yes how I can do that in VBA. If you think there is an easier solution, please let me know too!

What would a basic line of programming for that?

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Word and Excel - Account sign-in top right corner

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 01:03 AM PST

Hello,

I am logged in the account, confirmed it at the PC settings /Accounts, all seems ok. However, when I use Word or Excel and see my account in the top right corner, it has a yellow exclamation mark, need to sign in. When I do, nothing really happens.

Why I ask is, I need to add notes to a large Word document where lots of people are adding their comments. Their names are visible, and mine are marked as "Author". I suppose it is because the Microsoft Account login has a problem. I tried to reset the password, now the new password works ok, but the same problem remains.

Please help. Any ideas how to get myself logged in to the Office 365 and work in Word and Excel with comments marked with my name?

Thanks!
Nela.

Microsoft Office 2010 Tables Question!

Posted: 07 Nov 2014 12:37 AM PST

I really do need help with this. I don't know if the program is corrupt or what, but I know I didn't do this myself, because when I went and opened a document that I had started a good while back, I see nothing but tables and I was wondering if you can please tell me how to get rid of them. They even appear when I open up Word 2010 for a brand new document.

AutoRecover question

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 10:04 PM PST

When you get a message that Word has recovered a file and it asks you if you want to save the recovered files, is that always indicative that that particular file has been opened since you last used Word? Is there ever any case where you would get that message about a recovered file weeks after the problem occurred?

Corrupted .docx file. Word 2007. Can't open the document. Tags mismatch. Help?

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:31 PM PST

The Office Open XML file *.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.

Details: The name at the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.

Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 3487212

Hmm, I guess I should give some background info and what I've tried so far, right?

The document is in word 2007, Windows 7. Last night, I was in a hurry, and got a lot of things open. I was opening the document to do a few quick spontaneous revisions, but it was so laggy and I was late for an appointment, so I was feeling panicky and frustrated. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the best option to just force shut the PC down cause word stopped responding in the middle of opening the document. Still, while I'm no Sherlock, I knew stopping it while it's in the middle of saving the document would be bad, I didn't think stopping it while opening the document (and not really modifying the document at all, at least that was what I thought before), could have drastic consequences! The document's quite large, a few hundred words, and about 500 or so pages. It's this really big project I was doing at work, for months now really, and because it's somewhat business confidential in nature, I can't exactly share it freely, or I would've uploaded a copy.

Anyway, I woke up this morning and opened it, and the error came up. By the way, the document was saved in a 2TB external hard with a few disk errors in the past, if that helps, even if I'm pretty much sure its not a problem with the hard. The error came up... and yeah. I first made a copy, which I've been trying everything on, in case I do end up making things worse. I have no previous versions of it, just a relatively very old backup. Anything less than 80% recovery would set me back weeks with a wage cut. The good news is that I was able to open the document in WordPad, managing to recover the first 287 pages (131,543 words), with no errors or data loss, and saved it in a separate file. Apparently, according to information I obtained later, MSWord tends to not open at all when it encounters an error, but Wordpad tends to stop reading the rest of the code once it encounters an error. So, naturally, I assumed (so correct me if I'm wrong), that behind a few sentences I might lose due to the error, the rest could also be salvageable. I then looked up the problem all over the internet. Read a microsoft article on troubleshooting/recovering corrupted documents (Open & Repair, Draft Mode, Creating Link, Recover text from any file converter, etc). No dice. I first saw a similar question over here, and tried to use Tony Jollan's Rebuilder, macros enabled and all. Sadly, no luck.

I managed to make my first breakthrough when I found out that .docx was just a .zip file, and could be renamed as such, with the document.xml extracted and manually fixed using an XML editor (not that I knew how to do that, but I was desperate and willing to learn). So, made another copy, changed extensions, and tried to specifically extract the document.xml. I believe that it is the main body text, right? That is the only thing really necessary for me, since everything I've done so far is entirely spartan, with no fancy fonts, formatting, header/footer/notes, media objects, formulas, tables, bullet points, numbered lists, etc. All pure sans-serif text, with some Japanese Kanji thrown in. 500 pages of pure text.

I then hit a snag, when WinRAR encountered an error on extracting document.xml, stating that "CRC failed in word\document.xml. The file is corrupt". So I tried to fix this using several ZIP repair programs and stuff. Nothing worked. At least not so far.

So I decided to give up the manual route for the meantime and focus on readymade solutions. I came across yet another microsoft article, but this one was at least more relevant than the last. It had this auto FixMe thing. I ran it, didn't work. Apparently, as I found out later, "This fix will work for one specific tag error where there are equations and graphics in the same paragraph AND Office 2010 SP1 has not been applied."

So here I am, tearing my hair out in frustration. Whew, I feel like I told you guys my life story. I guess worst case scenario, I report this to my boss, so I personally or from the company, I/we'll hire a team of professionals to deal with it. But that's not an ideal scenario. It's gonna be out of my salary either way (the company has a firm policy of 'You reap what you sow'), along with a wage cut for making such an amateurish mistake even with continuous reminders to back it up every two sentences, so I'd rather avoid that.

I'm currently looking to see whether there's a way to recover a previous version of an overwritten document somehow using a third-party software or something. (I didn't have Windows Backup enabled, so no previous version on Windows). So far, no autosaved documents on MSWord AutoRecover, even though I have it enabled set to every 3 mins (or maybe I'm just not seeing it since I'm trying to look for it manually?). Or are the temporary files wiped on shutdown? I don't have 'Always save backup copy' option enabled on word either.

So yeah, an auto fix, or a lengthy answer detailing what exactly I should do (from the very very basics), or a link to a site with such info, would be much appreciated. Seriously :D

Please.

Why do some docs require me to press print on printer after selecting print

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:47 PM PST

I just started a new job and there are several letters created by others before me I have to use.  None of these docs are setup as templates.  They are all .doc or .docx file tyoes.  Currently the company is using Word 2010. Printer is a HP deskjet.  Only a few of the letters are requiring me to press the print/go button on the printer before printing will begin.  Most of the docs I inherited print to this printer immediately after pressing print from within word.  What is different or been set up by a previous user to cause this and how do I make it stop?

WORD/OFFICE 2013 MSI VS ONE-CLICK INSTALL ISSUE

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 03:19 PM PST

We have been using a 3rd party OCX control which will render word documents in a 'viewer' - which is basically starting components of MS word through the OLE object.   This 3rd party control has been working for years without issue for literally thousands of users.

A client installed Office 2015 - they have different machines.  If you do the install using the MSI (local) installer everything works fine and we have no issues rendering the word document, etc.

If you do the install from the MS one-click we get a failure to open the file on any/all files that we try to open using the 3rd party OCX.

I've gone through every setting inside of WORD - turning on/off/etc. without any luck.  I've done directory compares between the MSI and One-Click install versions - directories are the same, etc.

Something (registry?) is different between how these two things are installed.

the ONE thing I can visibly see is that the "one click" install - when you launch word manually - you ALWAYS get a splash screen being displayed for 1-2 seconds.... When you run the MSI version you do not get this splash screen. - and honestly it could be just that simple...

Thoughts?

Smarter column widths in MS Word

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 12:38 PM PST

I work a lot with tables in Word, and often the autofit options for column width do not work well for me. Often several of the columns, containing relatively short entries, will be too narrow for their contents, making each row of the table require multiple lines to output. Is there any way I can get a behavior out of Word similar to "choose the column widths that make the table require as little vertical space as possible"?

Thanks!

How to change default font size

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 11:59 AM PST

Split from this thread.

Does anyone know how to change font size in Word and make default ? When I print an email it comes out in small #22 size font. Help. I changed font size in word to #28 , but did not save to document 1 and still printed again in #22. How do I get print document font size larger ? Also I went to printer and copied at 150%, but still came out #22.?????

I replied to this thread because it is the 1st thread I have seen to deal with font size. Sorry for changing topic, hope your question was resolved.

How can I selectively remove direct formatting in Word 2010?

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:55 AM PST

I have a very large document which I started creating before I learned anything about using 'styles' in Word.  It has been compiled from a number of previously-separate documents. As a consequence, bits of the text have different kinds of direct formatting applied, and therefore are no longer controlled by the default settings of the style. I want everything in the document to be controlled by the style defaults. 

I am aware that it is possible to remove direct character formatting using control+SPACE. However, this removes italics as well as direct formatting such as text size and font.

Is it possible to remove direct formatting of font and text size but retain my italics? The document is absolutely littered with them, and putting italics back in manually is not an option. 

Cheers,

David

Table of Contents Title Missing

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:32 AM PST

I created a Table of Contents by going to References>Table of Contents>Insert Table of Contents. I then modified the TOC styles to match my desired aesthetic, and used Options to set the levels that are showing in my table. However, once I created the table there was no title at the top saying "Table of Contents." I created a new table using an automatic table and this resolved the issue, however, now when I try to create a Table of Figures using References>Insert Table of Figures, I get the same problem, no title saying "List of Figures" or "List of Tables." Any ideas?

My second section break does not work correctly when in an "if-then-else" statement .. help?

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 08:42 AM PST

Hi,

This is a questions about Word 2013

I have a document that has a first section in with a header and a footer. Within the second page of this section 1, there is an "if-then-else" statement. If the else part of the condition is satisfied there is a section break onto a new page, and then a different header and footer in section 2.

The effect I am looking for is for page 1 and 2 to have the section 1 header and footer, and for page 3 when it is triggered by the else statement to have the section 2 header and footer.

What is happening is when the else statement is triggered it is using the section 2 header and footer for the whole document?

Help .. any ideas, am I doing something daft?

Thank you for your help

How can Word 2013 keep one split window frozen while the other changes pagination?

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 08:05 AM PST

Hi folks,

Help please.  I do a LOT of work where I have one long Word docx, and towards the end there might be a reference table or set of items that I need to look at a lot, while creating content "way uphill" of that point.  I've tried NEW WINDOW, SPLIT, but as soon as I go up above the split in one window and start adding content, the other window starts to scroll content down the window, accommodating the movement of text above it. 

How can I get one of those windows to NOT reflect changes in pagination, lines, etc., above it -- but to really FREEZE PANES the way Excel does?

(Short of copying the reference section off to a separate document, that is!)

Thanks!

Page breaks: Possible to make them darker? They are so faint, so easy to miss.

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:51 AM PST

By page break I mean the horizontal line that is inserted in a Word document by using Control_Enter.  Is there a way of controlling how thick it is?  Usually they are faint and easily missed.  If I could somehow make them look like a bold underline that would be great.

How can I dock the Styles menu on the left side of my document

How to preserve the same text content style when copying the content from web

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 06:17 AM PST

Whenever I copy content from the web to the Word app, the original style of the content is lost, how to have the original style and look even after copying?

For example, I tried to copy the content in the webpage to the Word app.

The Word app doesn't preserve the original style of the content, it applies different styles than the original (which is obvious in the 2 screenshots).

How to crop multiple pictures in Word 2013

Cant keep a line horizontal!

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 04:31 AM PST

If I draw a horizontal line - by any means - (pressing shift or freehand and then correcting the alignment) and then change the length of the line then it is automatically offset by a constant amount (0.13cm) from horizontal. After this happens the line is messed up and nothing will make it horizontal except forcing the alignment to zero (shift doesnt work). If I press tab I can get ANY angle EXCEPT a horizontal line. Its fascinating to watch the line smoothly move through all angles and then snap from -0.13 to +0.13cm. This is one crazy bug (that didn't exist in previous versions). It's as if the programmers went out of their way to drive word users crazy. Thnx. Mission accomplished. Hope the MS "geniuses" fix this one.

viewing redline documents

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 04:21 AM PST

I deal with redlines on a continuing basis as an attorney. This post has nothing to do with tracking and showing changes. Rather, the issue appears to relate solely to some view function. I received a redline which when opened on my office pc showed as grey (except the footer showed in red!) and prints out the same way. The same document when opened on the email reading panel did in fact show as redline but printing out from the email produces a different looking document.  The secretary on the other side sent me "changed only pages" and those were opened as redline (in fact blue). On my home PC, also office 2010, the same attachment does in fact show as redline (also blue). I don't care whether it shows as blue, red or whatever but grey is unreadable. I tinkered with all view settings to no effect. Any clue?

Error in Word

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 03:11 AM PST

Hi.

Please help. I'm having a deeply annoying issue with Word.

I just did a fresh install of Windows 7, did updates and then installed Office 365 Home on my brand new 4th gen ci5 with an msi z97 board. (Don't know if that makes a difference). When I open Word, I get this error:

I have tried all the following:

- quick fix

- longer internet fix

- uninstall and re-install

- uninstall (using the removal tool) and reinstall

- disabling all non-Microsoft startup items, uninstall (using the tool) and re-install

- can't install through safe mode.

I use Word every day. This is terribly annoying. Please look into why it's doing this.

Thank you!

Numbering problems in Word

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:33 PM PST

Word 2007 change the hanging indent when I restart numbering

Hello:

I scanned the responses fast but haven't seen a satisfying one for me.

I start from the principle that if I use a tool that does perform what I expect, I use the tool wrongly, at least for a long tested tool.

I deal with short documents, which have to be technically structured (3 to 100 pages max).

I can setup multilevel list without too much difficulty, although the visibility of what I achieved does not meet my expectations.  I speak of cascade of headings, numbered down to 7 or 8 levels with matching tables of content.  The library of listnum items created cannot be easily managed by the user (can be used if smart or lucky, cannot be deleted, is hazardous to be modified, cannot be seen (listed) easily with characteristics).

Here, the context is a small pyramid (3 levels max, multilevel numbered). This is not the issue, but the context.

Within the lower level (3), I have body text paragraphs.

These can be numbered (1. 2. 3.) with simple numbering, based on a Style1 style created, based on Normal style (not a Heading style or numbered style). Plain and simple.

Within the 1. 2. 3. paragraphs,  I can have simple numbering a) b) c) based on a created Style2 also based on Normal style.

Trouble with Mail Merge Directory format

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:27 PM PST

I'm trying to create one continuous document which has a table of roughly 10-20 rows for each of my records in an Excel spreadsheet.  I have created a template for my base document.  I start the mail merge Wizard, select "Directory," and merge in the records from Excel.  All the base information is correct.

However, I can't seem to get it to be one continuous document!  Merging as "directory" does not have any apparent differences from merging as a letter.  I still have section breaks between each record, which means I have multiple footers -- thus screwing up the page numbering.  (I don't really care about the section break except it messes up the footer...)

When I try to delete the section breaks using find and replace, it will not delete or replace them.  I have tried multiple options variations.  The only way I seem to be able to delete the section break is to do so manually.  Since I really don't want to do that hundreds of times every time I create this report (multiple times per year), I really need to figure out a way to do it automatically.  It will find the breaks using ^b, but will not replace with a blank, ^l, ^v, ^m, ^t, ^s, or *. I gave up after that.

Track changes is NOT on.

Any idea why (1) I can't find/replace a section break, or (2) how I can keep one single footer for all sections without individually linking each one to the previous? 

Thanks.

Set consecutive numbering across sections in Word

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:22 PM PST

Split from this thread.

I'm a little late to this conversation, however, this may help others.


My document was over 150 pages and had section breaks throughout. Pagination started over a few times where it shouldn't have, and the "Continue from previous section" option did not work. I turned the Show/Hide tool on and found that the problems was caused by having consecutive section breaks like this:


----------------------------Section Break Continuous)-------------

----------------------------Section Break (Next Page)--------------


I deleted the extra Section Break and then used the "Continue from previous section" option and it finally numbered the pages straight through the document.



MS Word Proofing/Thesaurus issues?

Posted: 05 Nov 2014 04:10 PM PST

Hi there,

I seem to be having a peculiar issue where documents typed by a colleague in Asia which are sent to me via email do not highlight errors in typing. I have also noticed the thesaurus does not work properly.

On investigation, I've noticed the language for the text is set to "English U.K" which apparently there is no proofing available for. Text that I enter is in English (United Kingdom) and errors are highlighted properly.

Is there an explanation for this - I would have thought English (U.K) and English (United Kingdom) were the same thing!

This occurs on MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010 - I've not yet tried 2003 or 2013.

Thanks,


E

One word guys,

GoldMine can run on SQL or dBase (It is a Floor Wax and a desert

Scribe...
They have a template set up to migrated a GoldMine Database to MSCRM.
You can do this project with this tool in a few hours.

I my humble opinion....The Microsoft Data migration Utility is a major
challenge. Not for the faint of heart.

Look into Scribe.

include field on record that tells whether it has a note or not

Posted: 09 Jun 2005 08:41 AM PDT

Basman,
There are several third party products that show you 'activity history'
on the account, and that can get you what you want. One thing not
everybody is aware of, however, is that any note in CRM can be updated,
even months after it was originally written! If you'd like to stop
this 'revisionist history', our product, VAST, tracks all changes to
CRM objects, including notes. Our Summary views then show you all of
the notes, activities, etc. linked to the <acct, oppy, etc.>. Once
difference between VAST and the other products is that we would also
show you any CHANGES to notes (or the opportunity close date, etc.)
that occurred on that record, or anything linked to that record. HTH,

Dave

Changing the Primary column in a view

Posted: 09 Jun 2005 04:48 AM PDT

Good point well made. No matter how I look at this issue. I can not imagine
why someone would want to search on title. Can you see a situation where
someone calls you up to say that the title of their support incident is "One
flew over the cukoos nest". Surely other than the case ID, the contact name
or Account name should be set as the primary/secondary fields at least that
would still work with the address book at the bottom of the page.... sorry,
felt a rant was in order.

I think Jo is onto something, though I ran into difficulties and have
trashed the crm database, but hey it's worth it to find a way round this
issue. If anyone else has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them.
cheers

Assign Picklist value to another Picklist

Posted: 08 Jun 2005 12:46 PM PDT


If you are using scripting in the Onchange event, MSCRM does not allow you
to ADD values from one picklist to another. Meaning, that if one of your
picklists do NOT have any values assign to it, you cannot add values through
scripting.
You can SET the value of one picklist according to the selected value of
another picklist. In order for this to work, both picklist must already have
values assigned.


Your first line "crmForm.territorycode.value=crmForm.CFPListado.va lue"
assigns the Text value of the picklist.
The Second line
"crmForm.territorycode.returnValue=crmForm.CFPList ado.returnValue" assigns
the integer value of the picklist. To properly set the value of a picklist,
both lines are necessary in your script followed by an explicit "click()"
like this...

crmForm.territorycode.value=crmForm.CFPListado.val ue;
crmForm.territorycode.returnValue=crmForm.CFPLista do.returnValue;
crmForm.territorycode.click();

Triggering Manual workflow from Onchange event

Posted: 08 Jun 2005 06:11 AM PDT

Julian,
David is on the right track. But if it's possible in your process for
that field to be changed more than one time, then you may find it
better if you restructure the rules David suggested slightly, to create
a recursive workflow rule.

To do so, do the following:
1) Create a manual workflow rule "Change Case Owner". First step
should be a wait for condition, as David said. Once the wait for
condition is satisfied, do your action to change the owner of the case.
Save the rule.
2) Add an entry to the picklist, something that will signify that the
case owner has been changed... If one picklist item is "Assign to
<This> Queue", you could add a new picklist item stating "Assigned to
<This> Queue (and put all of these 'assigned to' rules past an option
that stats '--- Options below here for system use only ---' to give the
users some online hints).
3) Open that same rule up again. Add an action to update the picklist
value to this new "Assigned" value. Then, add a final action to exec
this exact same "Change Case Owner" rule to the bottom of your script.
Save and activate that rule.
4) Create an OnCreate workflow that has one action to simply exec this
exact same "Change Case Owner" rule...

Now, whenever a new case is created, this OnCreate rule will fire, and
the recursive rule will be created, and will wait (forever) for the
condition you specified to occur. Once it happens, it will change the
owner, and then get ready to process again.

You can create multiple recursive rules and kick them all off from the
OnCreate rule. (Note: this WILL add a bunch of workflow rules that
hang out forever in your system, but it does not seem to have an
adverse effect on workflow rule performance.

Also, to start this off for all of your existing open cases, you can
select all cases (or at least 100 at a time) from the Case grid and
"Apply Rule", selecting the "Change Case Owner" rule from the list...
HTH,

Dave

Import of XML on Virtual Machine

server which you configured your XML schema?

Opportunity error

Posted: 07 Jun 2005 04:07 PM PDT

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah it was partially due to AD, more directly user securities. We have
imported a new edit.aspx (form changes) and the file didn't have the rights
from both of the domains applied to it. So all users could access it apart
from the two in the other domain. Once these security settings were
applied/changed and sufficient access was granted to this file we then all
users able to access it sucessfully.

Bcc routing

Posted: 19 Oct 2007 08:31 AM PDT

In 2007 you have five stores, one each in five SGs if that's what you
choose.
And if you journal to a contact you only get to store the original
message that came in, anything that's journaled goes out of the
environment and isn't stored anywhere. Sure, if you journal to a
mailbox then you get the mail in the destination mailbox and in the
journal mailbox but like you say it's all SIS'd so you're ok.

I see where you got BCC routing now, I just describe it as a Transport
Rule since that's what it is. BCC routing is what it does. Semantics,
semantics :-)

Choosing a NIC for synchronization

Posted: 18 Oct 2007 09:39 AM PDT

Hi,

Note that OWA works well on the same server with 2 NIC but not with OMA.
In the IIS log,when both cards are enabled, we see that ActiveSync tries to
connect to the wrong network (the backup network).

Thus I think we should find a way to tell to ActiveSync : "choose this NIC".

problem sending mail to 2 domains

Posted: 17 Oct 2007 11:18 AM PDT

I would suggest setting Smarthost to your ISP mail servers. If you can
telnet to both domains SMTP server from your Exchange server and get a
response, then its DNS related and mostly likely they are blocking you.
Very unlikely they will whitelist your IP but trying never hurt. Remember,
your home email account is actually an email account that resides on the
ISP's mail server, thus its working. I would also check to insure you have
a Reverse DNS lookup record for your domain at www.dnsstuff.com.

You can probably "stop it" by implementing an antivirus solution so that
your Exchange server receives a lot fewer spam messages to which to send

sending NDRs, or some combination of all three.

How to clear Outlook address cache across network

Posted: 16 Oct 2007 02:11 PM PDT

We had to do this recently due to people's name format changing.

We created a simple batch file that was added as a user logon script
to Group Policy.

Batch looked for existence of a log file and quit if already done for
that user, otherwise renamed existing NK2 files so we could get the
old data if someone whined about it.

Batch file was something like this:

@ECHO OFF
SET NK2LOCN="%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook"
IF EXIST %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log GOTO :END
ECHO %DATE% %TIME% NK2 FILE CLEANUP STARTED > %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log
RENAME %NK2LOCN%\*.NK2 *.NK2.BAK
ECHO %DATE% %TIME% NK2 FILE CLEANUP FINISHED >> %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log
:END

Hope this helps....
