How do I make sure other people see all Tracked Changes in a particular document?

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 03:23 PM PST

Split from this thread.

I'm running into the same trouble, but on the other party of our contracts. For example, we comment/track changes, but we have no way to make sure that they open the file such that they can see the changes we've made (not everyone is responsible enough to make sure they don't miss these things). Do you know of a way to force comment visibility/all markup in a particular document?

Want to change the "Theme Fonts" across all applications in Microsoft Office 365

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 02:06 PM PST

Is there any way to change the Theme Fonts for all of the Office applications at once?   I managed to change them on the normal template in Word,, but when I try to do a blog post, it reverts to Calibri Light for headings, and Calibri for the body.  I want to use Veranda, and Garamond  in all of the Office Applications, Outlook, Word, Excel and Power Point, as my default heading and body font.

If it involves editing Windows registry, I'm not afraid of doing that.

Further information, I need to do this process on two machines, both are running Windows 8.1, and have all current updates.

Thanks in advance.

MS word 2010 wrapping issue to page 2

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 01:32 PM PST

I'm using MS Word 2010 I created a new document finshed typing to the end of the 1st page and continue to the 2nd page.  The problem is the 2nd does not show up unless I place a page break at the bottom of the 1st page.  I am using standard formatting.  There is only text and some bullets within the document.  I need help to determine why the 2nd page will not display or the word text will not auto wrap to page 2.  Does anyone have any ideas even where to look to see what the issue may be?  I have turned on the paragraph markers to see where I am in the document, once at the bottom of the page and doing a return nothing displays, as I would only have a 1 page document. 

Maybe my word is corrupt and I need to re-install.  I am hoping that someone by be able to give me an idea on how to fix.


Thanks for all of your help.

Word 2013 Featured Templates - change display

Word header numbering failure

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:45 AM PST

In creating a series of documents, I set up the styles for Header 1 through Header 4 with indents and numbering. Header 2 through 4 DO NOT restart numbering when used as follows:

1. Heading 1

    A. Heading 2

        (1) Heading 3

    B. Heading 2

        (2) Heading 3

2. Heading 1

    C. Heading 2

I expect the heading 2 to restart as A after a new heading level 1 and Heading 2 to restart as (1) after a new heading level 2.

In addition I set the hanging indent from a 0.25 to a 0.3 to create the proper spacing for heading number greater than one digit. When I manually change the numbering from (2) Heading 3 to (1) Heading 3 using the number/start numbing at feature the style for that single element changes back to the original hanging indent of 0.25 and each occurrence must be changed individually since the style still shows the correct 0.03 indent.

Footnotes not printing correctly

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:39 AM PST

This problem just recently started and I don't know what's changed. I have been trying to print documents with footnotes at the bottom of the page. I have custom sized pages at 8.5 x 5.5 and I have it formatted to restart the numbering (letters) on each page. Everything looks correct on my print layout view and print preview pages. However, when I actually print, the footnote lettering becomes continuous and does not restart on each page. All the drivers and software on my printer are up to date and all diagnostics check out. It used to print correctly but for some reason it's not printing correctly anymore.

Is there a fix for this?

Document Protection turning on

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 09:10 AM PST

Recently, when I click save or use CTRL-S, spell check pops up.  When I cancel it, the protect document property is turned on.  Sometimes the spell checker will pop up even when I'm not working directly in the document.  Again, if I cancel it, the document gets protected.  It is intermittent so I can't replicate it on demand. Has anyone encountered this behavior?

Word Template

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 08:43 AM PST

I have a fill-in form template in Word 2010 that I created for users to fill out in our department.  There are several fields that have visual basic when you leave that field it will automate another field.  The form works perfectly except when I give the template to other users, the visual basic does not run.  It appears that I created the visual basic in the normal.dot template.  How can I make this work for other users? 

Any help with this would be appreciated!!

AutoCorrect acting funny

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 05:47 AM PST

Hi,

I have a problem. I have Word 2010, been using AutoCorrect successfully for ages now, and for some reason today I noticed that it started to correct into the wrong characters. For example, a smiley face :) turned into the greek letter theta, an arrow turned into a box with a question mark. What happened?!

Thanks!

split document based on delimiter while keeping the formats such as fonts, size, colors underlines and etc

Posted: 28 Jan 2015 01:09 AM PST

                                                           
Hello 

I came across below VBA to split a document into multiple documents based on delimiters

My delimiter is "/new/"

Anyways, It works fine but when creating multiple documents, 

It does so without all the settings, just like copying from Words to notepad (.TXT file) 

Could anybody have a look at below code and modify it to do the job with the setting intact?

Thanks!

Below is the code


Sub SplitNotes(delim As String, strFilename As String)
    Dim Doc As Document
    Dim arrNotes
    Dim i As Long
    Dim X As Long
    Dim Response As Integer

    arrNotes = Split(ActiveDocument.Range, delim)

    Response = MsgBox("This will split the document into " & UBound(arrNotes) + 1 & " sections. Do you wish to proceed?", 4)
    If Response = 7 Then Exit Sub
    For i = LBound(arrNotes) To UBound(arrNotes)
        If Trim(arrNotes(i)) <> "" Then
            X = X + 1
            Set Doc = Documents.Add
            Doc.Range = arrNotes(i)
           ' Doc.SaveAs ThisDocument.path & "\" & strFilename & Format(X, "000")
  ^^ this is the original code won;t work on me so modified it a bit as below. if anybody can fix this as well, it would be much appreciated.


  ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\Users\administrator\Desktop\docs\"
  Doc.SaveAs2 FileName:=strFilename & Format(X, "000"), FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles _
        :=True, WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts _
        :=True, SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=True, _
        SaveAsAOCELetter:=False, CompatibilityMode:=14



            'doc.Close True
        End If
    Next i
End Sub


Sub test()
     '      delimiter & filename
    SplitNotes "/new/", "notes "
End Sub

Dutch proofing tools not working

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 11:48 PM PST

Hi

I have a user who has recently had Office upgraded to Office 2013 click to run. He is based in The Netherlands and asked for the Dutch proofing tool to be installed. We have installed this to other users without any issues however this user is having an issue with the grammar and thesaurus not working.

Office has been reinstalled and an online repair has taken place as well as reinstalling the Dutch proofing tool again but the issue still persists.

Is there anything you can suggest to make it work?

Thanks

I have the same problems with Excel too. Please help.

I need a 6 figure code to talk to a Microsoft technician to get remote assistance where is it?

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:26 PM PST

I had lost Word  when I typed "Delete from the beginning of time"(Deleting History in Chrome

Lenovo reinstalled my Windows 8.1 and Printer

But I'm having a problem getting Word back from Microsoft.

It's obvious if one looks at my screen that I have many documents which I made through Word prior to this crash.

However, the documents are no longer Word documents--they've become Office documents, even though I never requested Office.

Word, along with Lenovo, was a Christmas gift from 2013.  My nephew emailed me the product code

But Microsoft said this isn't the code.

So I'm prepared to try Remote assistance with a technician.  I've already given Microsoft permission to take screen shots

now with remote assistance, I hope this technician will see that my documents are all frozen in office.

I cannot open any of them.

Microsoft thinks my family never bought Word

(My nephew, by the way, is a computer engineer)

Microsoft is asking me to enter a 6 digit code in order to work with this technician

I don't see where this code is--but I need this 6 digit code.

I Word is part of Office, how can Word have disappeared if my documents are in Office?

 

Continuous Page Numbering in sections

Word 2010 Mailmerge Labels - but ask operator to pick which label position to start with

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 05:39 PM PST

I have created a Word 2010 Mailmerge template for Avery 5164 Shipping labels (2x3 per page).  It works fine when the operator has 6 or more data records.  We don't like wasting label stock.  So when the operator wants to print, say 2 labels, starting at position 3, how can I prompt him/her to indicate which position to start with?  Thanks for any advice.

Office Word Issues / Problems.......

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 03:15 PM PST

Okay, whew......this is so frustrating.  After a recent Office update, I am now experiencing some major issues with Word.

Let me start out by saying that I am an avid Microsoft consumer.  But lately I am questioning this loyalty.  I have never had so many problems with a Microsoft product as I am now with Office / Word.  None of the earlier versions of Word did this, and why it is happening now I have absolutely no idea.  When Microsoft makes an update, or comes out with a new version of a product, they should improve on what is already there - not change the product so it doesn't work; I'm just saying.

This is the problem that I am having:

  • When I set the margins on a Word document - Office gives me a dialog box saying that one of my margins isn't correct, do I want Office to change it.  WHAT?  No, I don't !!  When I set the margins, that's where I want them.......
  • When I set up a document then go to print it, part of my document is missing.  When I click on print, I then get a dialog box stating that part of the document is out of printing range.  WHAT?  How can part of my document be out of printing range when there is enough margin room?
  • Lastly, I downloaded an envelope from Office templates that was an elegant envelope with a design on the left side of the envelope.  I've used this envelope template for years.  Now, all of a sudden, when I go to print, half of the design is missing.  The only way that I can get the design back is to make the left margin bigger.  This only makes the design and the return address look awkward because it's like in the middle of the envelope.  WHAT?  WHY??

Oh, and I have checked with my printer (HP), and everything is fine there.  It prints what Word sends to it. 

I would like to have my Office / Word be like it used to be - printing what I want to print, with the margins I set, and the printing area being what I decide it should be......!!

Please help.  This is truly frustrating me to no end.

Thank you

WORD 2010 field codes quandary.....

Posted: 26 Jan 2015 11:19 PM PST

Hi all

I have added a validation list as a field with several selection options. I have also bookmarked this field with the name "SERVICE".

When I create a field in another part of the document, I am using this expression:  { IF SERVICE = "CONSTRUCTION" "X" "Y" }

CONSTRUCTION is a valid selection item in the field bookmarked "SERVICE", however I am getting a result of "Y" when I expect "X".

Anyone know what I am doing wrong??

How to Determine if Selection Includes Only Revision Text

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 02:52 PM PST

I've got a document that tracks revisions. It has some original text. Let's say the user ends up with something like this:

"Original part of document. User's inserted text. More original part of document."

When the user makes a selection, how do I determine if the selection includes "original" text. For instance, if the user selects "User's inserted text" to manipulate, it would include only revised text and would be allowable. If they selected, "User's inserted text. More original," then that would be rejected upon detecting the original text.

Thank you!

P.S. Version of Word and Windows is somewhat irrelevant, as I'd like to do this from Word 2000 up to Word 2013.

Run-time error 509 The mailmerge command is not available because the document is not a mail merge main document

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 07:48 AM PST

Hi, 

Ok let me see if I can explain this correctly.  At work we use word outputs to generate letters etc from our database, there are over 50 different letters etc so so we use a template to hold the macros required for each type of merge etc thats required, a template for each letter which then links to the template holding the macros, these are all stored on the work server.  Luckily this is only happening on our development database so at present is not a big issue but im worried when requests come in to create new templates and merges.  (Sorry if I havnt explained this very well, im in the process of learning how it all works etc)

After selecting debug the part it highlights is:

Wordbasic.ToolsMacro Name:="RunMerge", Run:=1

The issue only seems to affect some machines as well, when I run the merges everything works without any issues but when I run them on 2 other machines they have this error (so 2/5 have this issue that I have tried so far).  Is there something possibly getting stuck on these machines that prevent it from completing the macro and stopping. 

If you need any other info let me know.

Thanks.

Applying a single STYLE to multiple LIST LEVELS

Microsoft Office 2007 File Validation

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 06:00 AM PST

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me, this feature has been driving me crazy!

I'm trying to get Office File Validation to work for Word 2007,

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg985445%28v=office.12%29.aspx

I've added the following key, and run gpupdate /force

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Security\FileValidation" /v "InvalidFileUIOptions" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

But I cant seem to get the prompt from Word to say the file I'm openning has failed validation. I am testing with a couple of Virus Word documents that hit my inbox. The PC is a VM that is off the network.

Does anyone have a Word doc that can give me that I can test with, to see if this feature is working correctly?

If not is there anyway to make a document that fails the office validation?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Spacing between headers/footers and main text

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 05:26 AM PST

How can I change the (vertical) space between a header/footer and the main text?

I'm using Word 2013 and a template provided by someone else that I have some leeway to edit.

As it stands there is too much blank space between the header and the main text, and (sometimes, depending on how the paragraphs fall) not enough vertical space between the main text and the footer. The partial screen shots below show what it looks like.

screen shot 1 - header and main text:

screen shot 2 - footer and main text (note that I have "blanked out" some footer text by making it white, for anonymity's sake):

As you can see, the header is followed by the equivalent of roughly 2 blank lines, where 1 would be quite enough, while there is virtually no space between the main text and the line at the top of the footer, where there should always be the equivalent of at least one line of text.

I have spend some time searching both the internet and this forum and haven't found a solution to this problem. There is a lot of discussion about L/R margins in headers and footers, and page margins for headers and footers, but those are not the issue here.

Extract Email Addresses from Word

Posted: 27 Jan 2015 03:25 AM PST

Hi

I am trying to extract several hundred email addresses from a large word file.   I was given this great tip before where you "Find" the following

"[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}" and it highlights all the email addresses.    You then simply copy and paste.  

This worked great for me before but all of a sudden stopped working!   I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong.

The email addresses have <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***> and are separated by commas,

Any advice would be great!

Cheers

How do I make the first page of chapter 2 which is page 26 to have a wider margin on the left? 

   I am sorry if anyone has asked this before, I have been trying to search for the answers but failed. 

Thank you.

Blurry Font in Office 365 after Personalizing Word

Word 2007, paste HTML from webpage, keep source formatting, Word changes formatting!

When I paste formatted HTML text with paragraph numbering from a webpage and to word, with options set to "keep source formatting" it changes the layout, font, and changes subparagraph numbering to bullets and removes tabs after the original document subparagraph numbers! 

 I used it for years without having this issue, it started in the last 2 installations on 2 different PCs.  I don't even have a numbered list in my word library resembling this!  How to fix please?

it's been a long time since you mentioned a text only browser. I guess
when we feed you material, it has an affect.

If you didn't run as root, and if you were running a release that was
more recent than six years old, you might not feel the need to be
so paranoid. You might even find that Firefox wasn't a problem.

All this talk about running as root, that suddenly reappears after I
mention it, reminds me that your "first" appearance may have been about
wanting to run something as root that didn't want to run as root. You
wanted help fixing that program, rather than taking the advice to run
as a user. This whole firefox scenario seems more of the same, run
the way you want to run, and then have to create all kinds of workarounds
because you want to run as root.

mirror/copy raid0 array to a single drive?

Rescue mode is a live CD. RH/RHEL/Fedora have provided it since before
people called live CDs "live CDs," so it's called rescue mode. It's
provided by the original installation media and only provides a command
line, which is all you need, anyway.

The only difference between between the above suggestion and mine is
using rsync on mounted filesystems instead of dd on unmounted ones.

If you create a new fs from scratch, you don't need to worry about
UUIDs. I don't know if rescue mode provides rsync, though. If it
doesn't, then you'd need some other live media (Knoppix, e.g.) to use
rsync. I'd worry about SELinux contexts with rsync, if you're using
SELinux. You could also use rsync from the old fs by chrooting to the
old fs from rescue mode, but that's even more hassle.

Personally, I'd go with rescue mode and dd. It seems simpler to me.
Whichever copy program you like, it can be made to work. Just remember
to fix up the other stuff, too.

Oh yes, I'm well aware of that - was just commenting that it comes as a
surprise to a lot of users who don't realize Project has a database under
its hood. One of the differences between the Project db and an Access db is
Access uses a floating-point Julian number (I tell my classes it's the same
things as a Stardate except Access uses 1/1/1900 as day zero while the
Enterprise uses the date of first contact with the Vulcans LOL) to represent
date/time while Project uses an integer count of 0.1 minute "ticks."

Ahh...start with the problem, eh? Fair enough.

First, thanks for your overview of the various types of data found in
Project. I'd have to agree with your observation on Project "driving users
nuts." This forum helps.

Here is what I am trying to do:
I need to create a report that lists, for each resource, the tasks to which
he or she is assigned. The tasks should be limited, in my case to those tasks
that are currently active or scheduled to start within the next two weeks.

Seems like it should be reasonably straight forward, but apparently it is not.

The reason that i would want this is so that i can have a complete list of
projects that i have to create, projects that are going on, etc.

Just linking to those projects from insert/project makes the file size of
the master list become big!! if i have 10 projects that i want to keep tabs
on that are going on in the product it becomes a big file!

thoughts?

Posted: 03 Feb 2006 03:43 AM PST

Hi John

Thanks, have organised the project using the outline level. The project is
actually grouped by Functional Area, Deliverable and then Meeting now that
I've reorganised it. These come from the custom outline codes that were used
by the previous scheduler.
We are in Planning phase, so, much of the work is focused internally within
the functional areas (I imagine this will change closer we get to the event).
The 'Deliverables' are defined scope of work that have been assigned to each
functional area. A couple of the Functional areas have an addditional WBS
level called 'Meeting'.
There ARE issues with this WBS grouping because I'm finding that it
encourages the Functional Areas to only focus on their tasks without any view
of the impact from other areas. Do you have any suggestions for how to
overcome this?

Displaying dependencies for a workshop

Posted: 01 Feb 2006 08:11 PM PST

As an aside, be careful in presenting this material to the group that you
keep them fixed on just what dependencies represent. The
predecessor/successor links are not there to create a particular desired
time structure nor are they to prioritize tasks into the order that it is
desired they be done. Links describe a physical dependency between the
tasks involve that mandate a certain timeing - if the project is viewed as a
process, the links describe the flow of material and information through the
process. We don't have "erect walls" a predecessor to "install roof"
becausse the framing people are available in June while the roofers are
available in August. "Erect walls" is the predecessor because gravity
doesn't allow us the option of hanging the roof in mid-air and stuffing the
walls in under it later on <grin>. Sometime newcomers like you're working
with reason "let's do this first and then we can do that" without
considering what makes it a necessity to do it in that order.

How to register 8-CD "CRM Sales Advisor" Kit

Posted: 26 Aug 2005 11:05 AM PDT

I hope it doesn't take months to resolve this. I spent a couple more
frustrating hours today on the phone trying to reach a human being at MBS in
Fargo, North Dakota. In the end, I was redirected to 800-456-0025, Option 2,
which is a Sales organization in Fargo. The receptionist said she'd put me on
the "Urgent Callback" list. Now it's the weekend again.

One thing that had me stumped for a while was the 25-digit "Product Key" on
the back of Disk Seven of my package. I was SURE this was the Product Key for
the package. Finally, I realized this was only the Product Key for the "CRM
Integration for Great Plains" disk.

There are only three ways to register this package, that I can see.
1) You need an Open License with 15-digit Authorization number and 8-digit
License number (I have neither).
2) You need a Volume License 7-digit Enrollment Number (which I don't have).
This is PROBABLY the number needed for this disk set, since Disk One mentions
that this set is for "Volume Licensing Customers".
3) You need a 25-digit Product Key. (Which I don't have)

Matt has the right approach here for the reasons you've both listed. The
reason the CRM platform can't instantiate your component is because the code
explicitly forbids it. At least that's the way I remember it. I'd have to go
look at the 1.x code again, but I'm pretty sure it's forcing a
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER and the COSERVERINFO pulls in the local server name. I
opened a bug or two against this design in the 1.x timeframe but was
overruled for security and stability reasons.

Modifying ID in PickList

The only way to add those values back into the list is the method I described.
There are always risks with unsupported changes, but as long as you are careful
with your XML editing, in this case, they are minimal. Keep a backup copy of
the file just in case and you can always import that back in to fix any problems
created. I would verify that the form can be edited (and the values) via the
form editor after the import if you are concerned though.

It's not a CRM problem, it's a XML issue. You have a & sign in there and that is

about renaming to a .xml and opening in IE).

Use &amp; instead and it should work.

That link cannot be add to the URL. However, "http://www.dell.co.uk" is fine

I think this is a bug in MSCRM, hopefully it will be solved out in CRM 3.0

Showing All Activities in Workflow

This works great if the activities are associated with an Opportunity and there

Hi,

You can accomplish this by using the wait command in the workflow. Create a
salesproces with stages for each task. Each stage defines 1 task (activity)
and the wait condition for this stage is the completion or cancellation of
the task.
Activities are added to the activities screen everytime a stage is
completed, so the user can only complete this activity. On the other hand
there's a seperate tab in the activities screen which will show all upcoming
activities for this sales proces.
