As to your second point: It is true that the doentation is pretty weak.
There are a couple of good resources though. This newsgroup is one of the
best resources. Also check out the CRM SDK on MSDN, and the CRM resources on
technet

Advanced Find is divided into two sections - top is search criteria, bottom
is your results. Just above your results set, there is a blue bar. Look to
this blue bar for the Actions you seek.

And don't feel alone....took me a couple of posts here to find this as well.

On a similar topic, is there any way to get fields into the Subject line of

If your users still want DPI settings higher than 96dpi, you can add/change a
registry value to get CRM to display correctly:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UseHR = 0

If the value doesn't exist, create it as a DWORD

If you do this, other web sites may not look quite right, but you generally
don't lose information this way

Downgrade CRMAdmin AD Rights

Posted: 20 Sep 2005 05:45 AM PDT

You can lower the rights of the user in AD after the installation is
complete. The install needs tohe Domain Admin rights, afterwards, there is
no longer the need. The service accounts specified are granted the needed
AD rights over the OU during the install.

Sorry this doesn't actually answer my question.

Are you saying that the CRM System Administrator in CRM must be tied to a
domain user in AD?

I really want a CRMAdmin user in CRM that's tied to the lowest AD rights
user that it needs so that our administrators on CRM can do as little damage
elsewhere on the network as possible.

I don't think I can do exactly as you say as I think the user the "expert
consultant" company used to install the software is what they now have tied
to CRMAdmin.

That doesn't actually worry me, I would just like to be lower the risk to
the network.

Thanks.

Hi Gordon;

The good news is that you have found the problem, the bad news is that it
means you have network configuration problems (likely DNS). I'm not a

duplicated records

Posted: 19 Sep 2005 01:41 PM PDT

We have experienced the same thing. A user went offline and all of his
contacts were downloaded again creating 3000 duplicate records in his
Outlook. He has gone offline/online many times without a problem. The data
was not reloaded on the CRM server so the GUIDs have not changed. I am
looking for a reason and a solution as well.

Com add-ins get loaded because there are instructions in the user's registry
[HKCU] or the computer's registry [HKLM]. In the case of the SFO client, it
should be in the [HKCU] hive.

Did you restore the user's registry settings to the new PC?

check the following location in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outloo k\Addins

If you find an entry for the crmaddin then, that is what is causing Outlook

problem with installing CRM 1.02 on windows 2003 service pack 1

Posted: 18 Sep 2005 04:55 AM PDT

Dear Yair,

The Microsoft CRM Security Service might fail to start when the computer is
restarted. This occurs because during the startup sequence, the Microsoft CRM
Security Service might attempt to start before the SQL Server service (the
name of default SQL server instance is MSSQLSERVER). The result is an error
message stating that a service failed to start.

You can re-register the Microsoft CRM Security service as a dependent
service on the SQL Service by using the following command at a command prompt.

mscrmsecurityservice.exe -r -s

The other issue you are encountering probably is because the website is not
part of the trusted pages. If you add the website to the trusted pages
(internet explorer -> Extra -> Internet Option -> Security -> Trusted Sites
-> Sites -> add), then this should work. Alternatively you can set the
security to autologon with the current username and password.

Hope this helps,

Lead Field Values not available in Account

An Excel sheet listing the values (from Lead) is definitely the way to
go. When you go to sync them up (in Account), you can get pretty fast
with keyboard shortcuts (CTRL/C to copy the excel text value, ALT/TAB
to go into the CRM Customization screen for that field in Account,
CTRL/P to paste, enter to save, etc.) It's not TOO horrible....

Error Opening Forms After adding New Field

Posted: 16 Sep 2005 03:43 AM PDT

Did you happen to backup your customization XML before publishing the
changes? (In Deployment Manager you can export customizations to an XML
file.) If you have this file, I would try to import it back in to set
everything back. This won't remove the new field from the schema, but it will
set your forms back to where they were.

Also, just to be clear, because I didn't see it in the previous posts, have
you issued the iisreset command from the command prompt on the CRM server?
This is necessary in order to publish customizations.

MS CRM 3.0 vs 1.2

Posted: 16 Sep 2005 01:00 AM PDT


The key word in my post was "specific." Our co. chose MSCRM based on the
"big picture" of 1.2, and it is all of the little things that make the
service module, IMHO, unusable. Having to change the FROM address on every
outgoing email to the queue, for example, is a little thing, but 20 little
things like this add up to frustration, more time to complete tasks, etc.

Random changes to word functions

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 08:54 AM PST

Hi,

half way through a university assignment this week, trying to type a capital 'P', I pressed shift and 'p' and the media player popped up (alarmingly quick for this slow old laptop). Next I notice whilst trying to write my address at the top of a letter, I dropped an indentation on the ruler bar, but the 'Tab' button also no longer works any more.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this would change without me choosing any changes? 

I'm not sure if it's related but also every time I put a memory stick into the USB port it tries syncing my media player too (suggests media player issues again, but wouldn't explain the tab key not working any more). I imagine I'll find more as I continue.

As a side note, an I.T. guy at work suggested I un-check everything in Control panel > Make the key board easier to use: He thought I may have hit some 'hot keys' ad turned something on??

Any help would be appreciated - thank you

CREATING A WORD DOCUMENT WHERE IF YOU SELECT AN OPTION FROM A DROP DOWN MENU, THE REST OF THE WORD DOCUMENT IS AUTO FILLED

Posted: 07 Feb 2015 05:38 AM PST

Dear Microsoft Word experts,

I've seen this sort of Microsoft word document where if you chose an option from a drop down menu, the rest of the word document would fill up with information that was preset.  The project I'm working on is that I'd like to create a drop down menu with three options (Request, Letter, and Form) where depending on which option you chose, each has it's own distinct content.  For example, if you select "Request," the page would load with the predetermined text boxes for name, date, department, etc.  If you select "Letter," there would be different presets such as a from line, subject line, etc.  Please let me know if you can assist me with tips regarding this matter.  Thank you.

"Do you also want to save changes to the document template?" Pop Up on Every Save

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 11:19 PM PST

I am getting this in seemingly random documents. This has happened to a custom template I created many months ago called "Notes.dot" (.dotx?) and also in "Normal.dot", the default template.

The only thing I've been able to find online is that if you have a malicious addin it could be doing something. Problem is, I haven't installed any add-ins. And I've just now tested by disabling all default add-ins (even though the 4 that were active didn't look suspicious).

Some documents it gives me the prompt, other times it doesn't. It's just really ugly. As a temporary solution I've made this AutoHotKey code:

#IfWinActive, ahk_class OpusApp
~^s::
WinWait,,Do you also want to save changes to the document template?, 5
If !ErrorLevel
ControlClick, Button2,,Do you also want to save changes to the document template?
return

It's terrible that I had to use a third party application like that. I hope there is a better solution.

Despite saying No to saving the template, I keep getting prompted. If I wanted to save the Template, I'd manually save a template. And from other research online it seems this pop-up is impossible to disable. Everyone frets that you'd get accidental changes - why is it not an option to deny making changes to templates unless you explicitly wanted to create a template?

Does anyone have any idea what other possibilities there are to add-ins doing this? Is there actually something I thought would not change a template, like selecting a bullet (because using *+Tab and -+Tab together in the same document just leads to problems...) that is being registered as a template change? Clearing a style from pasted text maybe?

Word 2013

Footers don't line up

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 07:09 PM PST

I have different footers for odd and even pages (Word 2010). This works fine except for one thing: the odd-page footer is about a quarter of an inch higher than the even-page footer. I've scoured layout and margin options, and all they show is the same settings for distances from bottom of page. If I physically adjust the margin on one page, the opposite page shifts so the offset remains. Any thoughts?

Word, Excel won't stay open on the ipad!

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 06:21 PM PST

Bought my first Apple product recently....an Ipad an a keyboard thinking I could use it in place of a laptop for simple Word, Excel, etc while traveling.

They open but as soon as I click on them they vanish. When I attempt to open an email attachment using the apps the same thing happens. A quick flash, then nothing. The attachments are not being saved either. What should I do? (For a supposedly easy to use device this has sure been a pain!)

Font size in equations - WORD 2010

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 03:59 PM PST

When I write an equation with a "fraction"  (i.e. ET/R) in Professional mode, the font size is commonly reduced compared with the rest of the equation.  How can I avoid this - or how can I specify the Font size in different parts of an equation?  It must be possible because I'm working on a document in which I've entered two very similar equations, in one of which the font size is reduced and in the other it is not!   If I highlight a part of the equation and right click and choose "Font" I can change the size, but the change affects the entire equation, not just the part I highlighted.

Any help would be warmly appreciated.

PDFs go to Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager?

OK I've had this problem for a while now, and its really interfering with my schoolwork. Every time I save a PDF file, it will only open in the Microsoft Office thing and all it shows is their icon. Ive tried right-clicking the file and then clicking "Open with" and then selecting Microsoft Word, but that doesn't help at all.  After i do that, it will show me a small window saying i have to choose the encoding that makes my document readable, then it provides a list of languages and such and it has three options for text encoding: Windows(Default)    MS-DOS     and  Other Encoding.  I choose Windows (Default) and it always sends me to my file but instead everything is in code and includes like 50 extra pages of code. I'm sorry if this was long or if you don't understand what I'm saying at all. It's really important that i get this fixed quickly, thanks.

Connecting Correct Contact Cards to Word Comments

Microsoft Word:Mac2011 issue

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 08:20 AM PST

I am having a problem opening Word files (97-2003 format) on a MacBook running Yosemite whereby it hangs the program and also hangs Finder - It appears to be a compatibility issue but I could be wrong.

Every time I attempt to open a .doc file Word freezes however if I use my Windows 7 system to open the .doc file and just re-save (no changes to content) to the default .docx extension then I can access that file with Word 2011. This issue does not affect Excel/Powerpoint as those programs can open the earlier version (97-2003) without a problem.

Is there a fix for this or a place where I can report it? I tried going to a suggested link (https://connect.microsoft.com/) but couldn't find a way to report this issue.

Thanks.

Indexing a Series of Documents

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 08:03 AM PST

I am preparing an index of documents. It's similar to a table of contents but lists documents that are separate from the index itself and includes an alphabetical reference for each entry (Document A, Document B, etc). So, for example:

  Document Pages
A Application Form 1-5
B Letter   of Reference 6-8
C Confirmation   of Receipt 9-10

I want to know whether or not there is a way of setting up the table so that the alphabetical references (column 1) and the page number ranges (column 2) will automatically adjust. At the moment, if I have the above index and I want to include another document between, for example, Documents A and B: then I will have to manually change the alphabetical references and the page numbers of the all the documents after it.

Does anyone know a way of setting a table up in Microsoft Word so that it does this for me? Sorry if the answer's obvious: I can see how to make a table of contents for a Word Document and I can see how to make an ordinary index for a Word Document. But I cannot wee a way of doing this.

Thanks in advance.

Endnotes with First-Page Header Issue

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 05:53 AM PST

We recently updated to 365 from 2007. The problem below was not an issue in 2007, but we have not yet been able to reproduce the endnote/header structure as we did in 2007. Here is what's up:

We are working with the text of a book. There are nearly 70 sections in the file. Virtually every section has endnote references which (as in 2007) should compile in one particular section at the end. We do not place the endnotes at the end of the document, rather they are at the end of a selected section (using the "Suppress Endnotes" feature).

It is important that no header be on the first page of the endnotes. However, in 365/2013, we are unable to get the endnotes to start on the first page of a section, where we would be able to delete the header for the first page (using the "Different First Page" feature) but not the remaining pages of the section (the endnotes). Rather, the endnotes persistently begin on either the odd or even page, and the first page is blank. This is so regardless of if we select "End of Section" or "End of Document."

Again, this was not an issue in 2007, and the solution is easily reproduced in 2007. Any ideas how to make it happen in 2013, or did a bug develop in the upgrade?

Many, many thanks for the tips.

Change default page colour in Word 2013

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 02:38 AM PST

I'm trying to help a friend out by changing the default page colour of Word 2013 as they find it easier to read text when its on a shade of blue background.

The posts I've read say to change the Normal.dotm file to have the page colour set to the desired colour and to save. This should then make any new documents based on the default template the desired colour. For some reason, I cannot get this to work. Any other change I make such as font, font size, paragraph changes ... these all save correctly, and work correctly. The page colour change doesn't stick.

As a workaround, I thought of creating a macro to change the page colour when the document opens. So I created the macro, tested, then added to Normal.dotm template. As a debug, I added a messagebox to check the macro started when a document was created or opened. The messagebox appeared, but the page colour wouldn't change. I changed the macro to use hardcoded RGB values instead of the theme colour. Again, this didn't work.

It appears that the macro can only change the page colour once the page colour has been changed via the Design tab then the page colour menu. Once the page colour has been changed through this usual route, the macro then works.

Any suggestions on how to set the default page colour to a shade of blue, or why the macro wont change the page colour until its changed through the tab menu?

Accounting package using Word Templates for invoicing - doesn't work properly with 2013 but does with 2007 and 2010

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 01:35 AM PST

we have TAS Accounts (latest version) and it uses Word templates to create invoices.  They work fine wth Lasers/Inkjets but we print to an OKI Matrix printer running 3 part stationery, and get print corruption when using Word 2013.  

We bought new computers last year with Office 2013 and when we found the problem with the invoicing spoke with TAS who said they have only tested with Office 2010 so wouldn't help with our corruptions, and OKI couldn't help apart form making sure we had the latest drivers.  So we bought 3 Copies of Office 2010 of which only 2 worked as the 3rd turned out to be a fake.

The 2 Office 2010 PCs can print invoices but if we print from the Office 2013 PC it screws up the shared template and we are back to square one.

We would be happy (??) to buy a copy of Word 2010 (or 2007) to get this sorted out but can't afford to risk buying a fake again.

TAS Accounts can't/won't help so we have to find our own solution - please don;t suggest going to Laser/Inkjet Invoices as this is not an option right now.

Any suggestions ????

Thanks

How do I save a Word document as a PDF such that custom properties metadata is carried over?

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 12:42 AM PST

I have Word files with custom properties to hold metadata such as Doc No., Doc. No. Prefix, Rev. No., etc. When I save the document as a PDF (using Word's built in Save As command) the custom metadata doesn't seem to get carried over into the PDF file. How do I force that to happen? Is it just a case of tweaking some settings or do I need to change to using a "print to PDF file" type convertor that operates under the guise of being a printer driver?

I am using Word 2010 under Windows 7.

Dear document savers,

Can you please help me with directing me to a answer to recover a word .docx document that has become corrupted. 

The document has taken me many weeks and is part of a formal professional review. I have unfortunately only one copy of the document and if I cannot recover it I will have to start from beginning.

I am sure there is  way and hope someone in the MS community can help,

AutoExec macro not working due to existing prompts on startup?

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 08:19 PM PST

I'm editing a template for a client.

I've made a form that fills in certain parts of the documents, this form gets called by a module with a macro called "AutoExec".

But the macro won't execute automatically because there is already something built in the document to autoExecute.

When the template is opened (new) several prompts come up (like MSG boxes with fields).

I want to remove these prompts but they aren't inside the VBA window launched by alt f11.

Any ideas?

Microsoft Word 2007 TOC Questions

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 06:46 PM PST

I have recently finished my research report and was planning to create a TOC. I have marked my titles and sub titles with Headings 1 and 2 and 3. After i have marked all of my titles and sub titles, when i created the TOC, it was missing out on alot of title and sub titles. I tried updating the table however it does not work. 

For example:

Chapter 1: NATURE AND BACKGROUND
1.4 Rationale
2.2 Review
Chapter3: Methodology

Its missing out a lot of headings and sub headings.

Saving a word file with PDF hyperlinks as ONE document

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 05:47 PM PST

After creating a document with hyperlinks how do I save the document such that the PDF files save with the word file? 

I am well aware of how to add a PDF to my word document as a hyperlink or even as an object, that is not the issue. 
Currently, if I save a word document with a hyperlink to a PDF and send it to another computer the hyperlinks no longer work. This is obviously because they PDF files are not on the receiving computer. So, is there a way that I can save the PDFs within the word file and send it as one big document?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Option button to add rows to a table

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 05:44 PM PST

I have a form wherein there's a table.  The powers that be want a box to pop up, after text entry in the last cell of the first row, that asks the user to enter the number of rows they want added to the table and then however many rows they choose appear at the end of the table (the user clicks on a button with the corresponding number next to it).  The question is, "How many extra rows do you need?" and the choices are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 15 or 20.  From what I've read, an option button is what I'm after but I've never used them before so step by step instructions would be wonderful (Word "help" leaves a lot to be desired!).

Help, my line spacing keeps changing in my text box when I save my document in Word

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 03:57 PM PST

Hello.  I created a trifold brochure in Word 2007 and on one panel I have a text box where I entered some information.  I have single spacing that lists several events.  After I hit save and close the document, every single time I go back in, the line spacing changes to 1.5" spacing!  It is fine when I hit save and close, it's just when I go back in it has changed.  And I cannot figure out why!  The only way to set the spacing without it changing is to save as a PDF, but I need to send it to my customer in Word format so they can edit it (and they are not that good with Word).  Does anyone know what the problem might be?  Thank you in advance

PS - please don't ask why I did this in word, the customer wanted that

Runaway deletion problem

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 03:57 PM PST

At least once a day as I am editing/tracking changes in documents in Word, the "cursor" suddenly takes off on its own and quickly crosses out/deletes the text, rapidly tracking  down the lines of copy. The only way I have been able to stop this is by shutting down the computer; nothing else I try has produced a response. What is going on?

Need help getting a template working.

Posted: 05 Feb 2015 07:34 AM PST

Hello. I am trying to create kind of a template in word. I have a fairly big exam comming up and would like to create a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.

In this table i am writing something that will be headlines for the things going on in the table. This means that the table and the headlines actually should be grouped together or something like that. The table will be a complete page and the only thing needed on the page.

When I then would like to fill out the blank spaces with my assignment, and the first page is full, i would like word to start the next page with the table, and headlines again, so that I can begin filling out the blank spaces again.

So far the only thing happening are that when i finish a page, word simpley continues the table on the next page instead of starting the page with the complete table.

Fedora hasn't ever been a single CD.
RHL 6.2 was the last RH version that fit on a single CD.
