Microsoft Word - Changing documents from landscape to Portrait without having to reformat the entire document

Microsoft Word - Changing documents from landscape to Portrait without having to reformat the entire document

Changing documents from landscape to Portrait without having to reformat the entire document

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 02:11 PM PST

I did a document-- 2-page layout in landscape orientation.  It has text boxes, pictures etc.  My boss now wants this same format, but in portrait orientation.  Is there a way to convert this document from landscape to portrait without having to reformat the entire document (i.e. re-sizing text boxes, pics) manually?  It took a long time to do all this and I'm hoping there's a better way than doing it manually.

Cannot access the free premium dictionary in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 02:00 PM PST

When I am working in word, and I try to access the dictionary (which I have always been able to do), the computer says I must be signed in to access the dictionary, and it shows a little yellow triangle with an ! in it beside my name, indicating such. Although it shows my name, it says I am not signed in.  I cannot use the dictionary, nor when I hit the sign in button, it fails to connect. A white box pops up (with no script in it), and the blue working or thinking stripe that moves across the screen is there, and then it just closes.  My internet connection is fine. Occasionally, it will go to the free dictionaries that are offered, and then when I click on that, it says We are having trouble connecting to the online store to get you a free premium dictionary, please try again later. Later has been for three months now...  I have had not trouble in the past with this, until the last few months. I'm not sure why I cannot access anything now.  Please help, I am frustrated!

how do i add the reference tab to microsoft word 2010?

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 01:20 PM PST

I am writing a paper for school and I need the reference tab to do my works cited page. The only four tabs I have on there are home, insert, page layout, and mailings. I tried going to file, then options, then customize ribbon, but I do not see the button that says customize a ribbon. I need help fast!!

Larger font size causes my page to print blank

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 12:58 PM PST

This is an odd problem that took me an hour to figure out what was happening, but I still don't know why.

I have a document with name badges, 10 per page, and have two images in each name badge and then a text box for their name. I used a downloaded Christmas Font and was adjusting the size depending on the name. Then, my page printed blank. I could see it in Print Preview, but the printed page was blank.

Also, I printed it to a PDF, which I could also see when opening the pdf, but it also printed blank.

So, to troubleshoot, other than reading online for about an hour with no success, I deleted all but one name badge, but it continued to print blank. I had also created envelopes with identical images and name font, so I tried printing that, and it WORKED. Then it occurred to me that the font size was smaller on my envelope, and SURE ENOUGH, when I decreased the font size on the name badge, it printed just fine! I played with it and discovered that if I go over 35 point on the font size, it prints blank. Sadly, I wanted to make some of these names a larger font, but I may not have that option.

Does anyone know WHY this would be happening?

Hyperlinks in Word 2013

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 12:41 PM PST

Hi,

I have just inserted over 300 relative hyperlinks in a document.  Despite having unchecked the "Update links on save" box all (well, all the 50 or so I checked) were converted to absolute references when I closed and reopened it.

Two questions:

1)   How I can avoid this happening again?

2)   Is there any easy way of undoing the damage?

Many thanks

INCLUDETEXT and multiple pages of text

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 11:52 AM PST

Split from this thread.

Inserted objects cannot span pages in Word. With files that Word can read, you can use Insert tab | Object | Text from File instead. This does not create an OLE object, but links the file via an INCLUDETEXT field. For more on INCLUDETEXT, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/includetextfields.htm.



I don't seem to see how this works for multiple pages.  If I change the text in the original linked document then it doesn't work.

Add mail merge variable

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 07:38 AM PST

I have developed an Excel spread sheet with a mail merge add-on. It tracks yearly church contributions and then provides a contributions summary for tax purposes that are sent out in January. The summary letter has the sentence "Your total contributions for the year 2014 is"

 I wish to make this year to automatically update to the next year i.e. Last year's letter said 2013. I had a popup that reminded them to change the year in the letter before running the mail merge. One person forgot and caused all kinds of problems for someone preparing the tax form.

In other words, I need a variable that always shows the preceding year date in the mail merge letter

Word MS Office Professional 2010 Problem with Ribbon

Up until yesterday I had the full ribbon in Word (which had been customized)--there were full words.  Now I only have  small picture icons all to the left (and only a few icons) and my Quick Access Bar is completely gone.  When I try to customize it there are no options there.   This thread won't allow me to paste a screenshot.  I don't even have access to "Paragraph" or "Font" for example.

I don't know what I did, but I would really appreciate some help please!!  I can't work this way and I've tried everything I know of.

"Show all windows in the Taskbar" Display option keeps unchecking itself

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 06:07 AM PST

I work in an office of about 30 people, all networked through a Windows SBS. We share documents on the SBS, but all work locally on our own machines, with locally installed Microsoft Word 2010. I have one user who, several times a week, has a problem with the "Show all windows in the Taskbar" Display option coming unchecked. I have been going in and re-checking it for him, and it'll be fine for a few days, then it unchecks itself again. He is not hitting any accidental shortcut keys, as far as I can tell, and this has only just begun to happen in the past couple of weeks (it has never happened before for as long as I've been here, about 9 months). What is the cause of this issue and how do we prevent it from occurring again? It is extremely inconvenient to have to keep going into the Options to re-check it. 

Word: formatting data in mergefield from excel calculation

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:54 AM PST

The calculation in my Excel spreadsheet results in  numbers like:  95.550953452380952, or 1.01, or 157.5821364895217  The values in excel vary from 1 to 10 digits.

I only want to show the true number in the mergefield in Word, no decimal places.  Since the values vary from 1 to 99,999,999 I'm not sure how to format the mergefield in Word to show the correct values.  Any help would be much appreciated! 

TrueType font is rendered faulty in Office2013

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:49 AM PST

I have used the TrueType ´Timing' font (downloaded from http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/fonts/installation.php) in several technical documentation artefacts created using Office2010 and Window 7. Now after an migration to Windows8  and Office2013 Word2013 renders the font faulty.  The lower case string 'abcdefg' is shown as '-abcde ' (in the font types.) The same string is shown correctly using WordPad, Excel2013 and PowerPoint2013 on the same machine. Also using the Windows built in font viewer the font is shown correctly.The issue seems isolated to Word2013.

Is there some way to correct this faulty behaviour in Word2013?

Workgroup Templates in Office 2013

Posted: 10 Dec 2014 02:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have the following setup... In Group Policy (Computer Configuration) I copy the corporate Templates to the WorkGroup Templates folder on every PC (under Default\appData).  We also have a personal templates folder (under %USERNAME%\appData).  The workgroup templates are available in both the workgroup and users personal templates folder.

When a user creates a new file in WORD or Excel they are presented with 2 templates folders.  Is there anyway of hiding the Workgroup Templates folder and just showing the user their personal templates folder? (I want to keep the Workgroups templates folder, I just do not want to display it in WORD)

Or should I just try to rename the templates folders so they can be distinguished from each other

Thanks

Word 2013 Document Themes Have Disappeared

Posted: 09 Dec 2014 07:09 PM PST

I teach at a high school running Windows 7 Enterprise and Office 2013.  Over the past two weeks, the computers in my lab have started losing a number of document themes (Design tab...Themes).  Most computers now only show 9 themes instead of the usual 20 or so.  I have tried logging into different computers, but I cannot see the other themes.  Interestingly, when our technician logs into my computer, she is able to see all the themes.  So, it does not appear that the themes are no longer on the computer.  Does anyone know what would cause themes to appear for one user, but not other users? 

Word (Desktop) vs Word 2013

Posted: 08 Dec 2014 11:14 PM PST

Good evening,

I recently upgraded from Office 2010 Pro to Office 2013 Pro. However, after the install, all of the office products are showing as <NAME> (desktop) - i.e. Word (desktop), Powerpoint (desktop). Yet, when they are opened, the program is shown as Word 2013, Powerpoint 2013, etc. When I try to pin a file to the taskbar, it pins it under the Word (desktop) program, but when I open that file, it opens in Word 2013.

I am able to pin both Word 2013 and Word (desktop) to my taskbar. I am ONLY able to pin files to Word (desktop), but files only open using Word 2013. Both options open the same program. It is frustrating to have one program pinned just to have files pinned, only to have those files open in another taskbar "tile."

Why are they separate? Is there any way to get rid of one?

Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated!

-Andrew

Install Office 2007 without over writing Office 2003

Posted: 21 Jan 2008 11:50 AM PST

You have to choose between Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 because you can
only have one or the other, but you can have both 2003 and 2007 versions
of the other Office applications. If you want to keep the 2003 versions
of Word, Excel, etc., alongside the 2007 versions, then choose a Custom
installation of 2007, and choose to keep the 2003 versions in the
Installation Options tab.

As a precaution, back up Word 2003's normal.dot template and any custom
templates you created, autocorrect list, and custom dictionary, and
Outlook's .pst file(s), before you install the 2007 version. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm and
http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com/2007/04/15/word-2007-and-word-2003-coexisting/

Microsoft don't always describe every problem fixed in an SP, so I would try
it. In the mean time, try using Hyperlinks to your files. This will provide
much smaller .mpp files and better performance.

To add a Hyperlink: Select the task then select Insert Hyperlink or press

Change Milestone task color and Summary Task Gantt Bar

Hi Dave (and Amin)

I as well thought this was impossible, but it isn't.
The graphical representation is both the summary bar and the milestone sign
superimposed.
Amin, I have a problem with your code which will run on all tasks
irrespective of whether they are milestones, summary or not.
If you want to change the styles of all milestone bars, you should not loop
through the taks using GanttBarformat but use GantBarStyleEdit instead.
Hope this helps,

Can overtime hours be entered for specific days?

Posted: 04 Dec 2005 10:09 PM PST

In terms of the project schedule it really doesn't matter when during the
course of the task the resources are doing the OT they've volunteered. The
effect on the task duration and thus the project duration is the same
regardless of whether the OT is worked at the begining of the task, the end
of the task, or distributed in the middle. The only thing that really
counts on your 40 man-hour task is that the resources will be doing a total
of 8 hours of OT sometime between when it starts and when it ends so the
duration will be 4 days instead of 5. I'd suggest just entering the total
OT hours that will be applied to the task and not worry about whether
Project shows it on the exact day your resource's will be doing it, at least
not until you post actuals in after the work is done. Focus on the big
picture and let the resources themselves take care of the details of how
they arrange their work on the task on their own.

a way to enter it on say December 16th for 2 hours starting at 5pm and
ending at 7pm on the same day. Let's also say this task spans the full week
(12/12 - 12/17) and requires one resource for 8 hours per day or 40 hours
for the week.

My resources have volunteered overtime on specific days and I want to assign
them to specific tasks to assist the completion of the larger time span

I hope I explained that well enough...

However, I do agree that the presence of "none" in the calendar

Hadi,
I realize the FAQ didn't answer your question. But since you mentioned
that you were assigning resources to a summary line, I thought you might
want some insight.

With regard to your copying issue, this is what is happening. The
default resource type for a new project file is Work (i.e. labor). When
you copy a task that is a material resource from one file to a new file,
that resource will take on the default resource type, namely a Work
resource. You will need to change the resource type on the Resource
Sheet of the new file to a Material resource.

Hope this helps.

Instead of a Number field, put your formula in a Flag field.
In this case, you'll have different options for Summaries and Group.
Instead of a formula, use "Report" (?French version, i don't have the
English one today) and select the OR operator.

Resource Leveling with multiple part-time tasks

Posted: 02 Dec 2005 04:27 PM PST

Hi,

If you need the resource 100% on one task it will never ever be available
for another task.

There is a way to make Project do what yoiu need but you have to back away
from using any other assignment % than 100.
This gives a very good result:

Make A a task with a DURATION of 16 hours, assign X @ 100%.
Make a base calendar showing 20% of the time to be working time (f.i. from
8am till 10:36 am)
Make this the task calendar for A
Give A a ghigher priority thn B, level minute by minute

Admire the result.

the menu item Window, Arrange All. Won't that work to compare them?

MSCRM 1.2 Installed over companyweb

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 02:59 PM PDT

Thanks so much! They are not using Sharepoint, but will be in the future so
back up is not an issue. Do you know of a good place to get the sharepoint
restore information and hacks to install on a different port?

About AVAYA IP Office MSCRM Integration's problem.

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 04:56 AM PDT

I've got a "stupid question" along the lines of CRM Telephony... Is
there any vendor that has created a simple screen pop or auto-dialer
app for CRM that works with POTS? In other words, without having an
expensive switch? Does anybody have anything that works with a Vonage
VOIP system? Thanks,

Phone calls @ workplace Calendar

Posted: 20 Jul 2005 04:22 AM PDT

The GroupCalendar is an web application. So as long as you are online
with the SFO you can use the GroupCalendar also out of the Outlook.
Do you meant this with integration?

Thanks John,

I'll try to check.
Maybe there is another reason. Not because of the online-offline problem.
Anyway, thank you very much.

Setup Error on Win 2003

Posted: 19 Jul 2005 04:56 PM PDT


Thanks John.

I followed the suggestions, but is still failing. :(

One observation, I running DNS, SQL, IIS and CRM all in one single server (a
virtual one). I dont think this is cause since I tried on Windows 2000 and
succeed, but I thought it would be worth to mention it.

Digging in the event viewer I found this message, could be related?
The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to
connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database requested
in login 'Company_CRMCRYSTAL'. Login fails.).

I don't have any 'Company_CRMCRYSTAL' database in my SQL Server. I suppose
CRM setup should install it, but why is not doing it?

Cheers!

BU and Role updates impacting system availability

Posted: 19 Jul 2005 09:10 AM PDT

Actually John,
The security update patch will slow down the updates! (Which is a
good thing.) What it appears to do is put a "governor" on the update
process so that it will not take more than 25% of the CPU. It still is
quite a drain on resources, but at least it won't completely shut your
server down... (My client was the one who unfortunately first
discovered this bug, was shut down for two days because of a relatively
minor role change, and inspired this patch.) Anybody who is using 1.2
should be using this patch, so that you can somewhat insulate
yourselves from the effects of role changes... And always do them on
Friday afternoon! HTH,

its up to you linda

it could contain either. Typically its used as a one line text entry to
describe the lead or opportunity. If you look at a list of leads you should
be able to tell the content of the lead etc by looking at these entries.

there are no rules that say you must enter x. Just what makes sense in your
organization

Description?

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 02:40 PM PDT

I agree with you John. Part of our internal CRM training is to advise new
users what 'we' use the description field for which for us is almost like an
'alert' message. For e.g. the description field for 'Contacts' might be
'There is another Joe Bloggs at ACME' or 'see notes for detailed profile of
this contact' etc.

It is quick and easy to put an activity into the description field but
that's exactly what activities is for.

Would be nice though if CRM version 3 had some sort of 'flag' to advise the
user that there is a note attached so go read that first.

Hi Richard,

I do not understand Spanish, just like Matt. But when looking at your text I
do recognize these words:
... link .... version trial .. crm..
If you are searching for a link where to download a trial version of MSCRM,
then I will have to disappoint you. There is no such thing as a trial version
for MSCRM. Instead, there is a download available for MSDN users which will
have a sample database. This application you can use for testing purposes.

Hope this helps,

Microsoft CRM Beginner

Don't be fooled without a lot of tweaking and addition of several 3rd party
products CRM was basiclly useless. We went with CRM over 2 years ago
because we have been using MS products for several years but we have be very
disappointed with its "out of the box" function. My biggest problem when we
were looking to change our customer tracking program was i could not get a
straight answer from anyone at MS about what it could and would not do. If
you would like to question me about it email me at com . I
love microsoft product and am holding my breath for the update on MSCRM(in
october, november,december or whenerver) We currently are using addon
products from c360.com to make the program usable.

OnChange event failing

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 11:57 AM PDT

Hi James,

I think you just need to add the following line:
crmForm.closeprobability.returnValue = i;

This line updates the value in the database, while the one you used only
updates the form (as far as I remember). You need both lines.

The line stating *.click() in John's posting simulates a mouse click on the
field. In some cases this must be included, but it depends on your script
and what you want it to do. If you just want it to update a value in a
field, the two lines (*.value and *.returnValue) should be enough.

Hope it will work for you know!

Kind regards,

Importing Sales Literature

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 11:52 AM PDT

Hi Shauna,



Just some comments on using Sales Literature...



The Sales Literature features are not that user friendly when wanting to use
the material in your business process. An example could be that you want to
have the brochures in Microsoft CRM because you then easily could send docs.
to customers or leads. This is a many-click-action to the users, and they
will get frustrated using it.



If you have Sales For Outlook users, you must remember to instruct them in
filtering doents when synchronising, or you may end up with a lot of
support calls when users try to go offline, and performance goes down! If
your brochures are colourful doents taking up some space, remember the 5
MB attachment limit (can be adjusted) and remember the 2 GB offline data
volume limit for the Sales For Outlook users.



After using Sales Literature in Microsoft CRM, some of our customers have
decided to use SharePoint or their existing Intranet-portal instead of using
the Sales Literature feature in Microsoft CRM 1.2. SharePoint or their
Intranet has then been integrated in Microsoft CRM using the ISV-integration
points available.



Kind regards,

Henning B. Jespersen

Changing Fiscal Year Settings

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 08:10 AM PDT

Hi James,

Don't loose all hope!

It is possible to alter the Fiscal Year settings, I've done it! But I can
not tell you how in this forum ...and I wouldn't sugest you to follow any
tips from other news-users if you are working at a production inverionment.
If you are working in a demo-environment, you can take a look on the
following tables in *_MSCRM and try to figure out some of the relations:
userfiscalcalendarbase and organizationbase.

If your problem is related to a production environment, you have to contact
Microsoft support and get them to help you. If you don't do it the right
way, it may mess up data. The only way to correct your siuation is through
running some delete and update statements against your database, and that
you don't want to do without the support of Microsoft ...else you might
loose the money invested in your Software Assurance.

Kind regards,

More flexible License manager

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 05:10 AM PDT

Hi,
Pierre is right.
Licenses in MS CRM are what you call aggregate.
You don't need to remove anything from any user just keep adding them in
deployment manager, create your new users and add the license and role etc.

Unable to logon into Crystallogon.csp

Posted: 18 Jul 2005 03:00 AM PDT

Hi Carrie,

I do assume that you are referring to Resolution 9:
Verify all the Application Mappings for Crystal Reports exist in Internet
Information Services (IIS) on the Microsoft CRM server.

1. At the server in which Microsoft CRM Server was installed, click Start,
point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Click Administrative Tools
and then click Internet Services Manager.

2. In the Internet Services Manager, expand your Microsoft CRM server. This
will display the Web site for Microsoft CRM. Right-click the Microsoft CRM
Web site and then click Properties.

3. Click the Home Directory tab and then click Configuration. This will
display the Application Mappings window. Click the App Mappings tab. In this
window, the first 4 mappings should be for Crystal Reports. They are the
extensions .cri, .rpt, .csp, and .cwr.

4. If these extensions are missing, create a support incident on the
Microsoft Business Solutions Web site https://mbs.microsoft.com/support.


I haven't had any problems with the mappings myself and therefore cannot
help you with this one. The resolution tells you to open up an incident with
mbs. I would seriously advice you to do so.

With kind regards,

Installing MS CRM for Outlook

Posted: 15 Jul 2005 11:13 AM PDT

Steven;

If Hennning's good suggestion fails to fix the problem...

If IE is prompting for credentials despite you being logged into the network
as a valid user with a CRM profile/role/license, then it's likley just your
browser security settings. In IE, click Tools-->Internet
Options-->Security-->Local Intranet-->Custom Level. Scroll all the way to
the bottom of the list of settings and select either of the 'automatic'
options. This will prevent IE from challenging you.

You absolutely need to be able to get into the CRM without being challenged
for credentials before SFO will install or work properly
