Entry Point Not Found

Posted: 12 Nov 2008 09:41 PM PST

I followed the link & that's my problem however the solution requires me to
use the Works CleanUp Utility which it says is in the Works 8.0 installation
CD. Since Works came preinstalled on my computer I don't have a Works 8.0
installation CD. I did download & run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
I tried to reinstall again but got the same error message. What now?

Thanks for responding. Are you saying that Works will find the folder even
though it may not have some particular name? Or do I have to be sure it has

Networking problem with works 8.5

These seem like a reasonable things to allow, rather than problems.

Most networked IT would be crippled if only one person were allowed to
read a file at a time... consider, for example, the World Wide Web which
involves potentially millions of people reading the same file at the
same moment.

Or the operating system you're using now, in which many processes need
to read the same file simultaneously in order to run programs.

I suspect that you are exceeding the capacity of the program. And I
doubt there is any thing you could do in the program.

If you do a manual spell check (F7) does that catch the misspelled
words? If so, with long documents you'll have to do that.

Publishing program has too many fonts

Posted: 05 Nov 2008 08:28 AM PST

I'd go for removing Print Master. If you remove a wrong font you can have
all sorts of trouble. HP support "helped me" when my PC was new and make a
long story short, ended doing a reload of operating system. I am using XP
media center edition 2005. Also watch the HP Officejet all in one printers
and how they interface with Works. Nothing but out of memory errors which
requires a work around.

I would never use Print Master on my PC again but I'm sure it's being used
by many people but don't know if those people have Woks installe.

Good luck.

It's not really an issue, it's just a setting on the Exchange server. You

MS Project 2000 - Drawing Lines

Posted: 11 Apr 2005 11:53 AM PDT

Actually, may I give you an example of what she wants:

Task 1 - Mary, John, Steve and Paul
Task 2 - Mary, John, Steve and Paul
Task 3 - John and Paul
Task 4 - John and Paul
Task 5 - John and Paul
Task 6 - Peter, Victor and Don
Task 7 - Brian and Susie
Task 8 - Brian and Susie

This very primitively shows a task and the resource names which appear at
the end of the timeline. Well, everytime the group of resource names changes,
she wants a thicker line drawn for the border of that task. That means,
given the above example, she wants a thicker line in the Gantt Chart for the
line at the bottom of the row for the following:

Task 2
Task 5
Task 6
Task 8

Hope that helps. (It doesn't seem I can do this using Groups as some of the
individuals are involved in two separate groups - e.g. Paul is involved in
the Task 1, 2 and 3 grouping but is also invovled in Tasks, 4, 5 and 6.

Maybe I'm confused but you don't open the Word viewer in Wordpad or the
Excel viewer in Works Spreadsheet. Both of them would be standalone
executable programs, intended to allow someone to view Word documents or
Excel spreadsheets who otherwise doesn't have software installed capable of
opening those file types. Once you install them by running the executable
file you download, you find them in the Windows program menu. When you run
them from the menu, you can open a .doc (Word) or .xls(Excel) file and read
their contents just as if you had Word or Excel themselves installed
respectively.

Here's a link for the entry page all the discussion groups for the various
MS Office products - you'll notice both Word and Excel are included there in
the menu on the left side of the page ...

That would depend on a lot of factors. How experienced are you with
Windows software? Do you know anything about scheduling, especially
critical path scheduling? What do you need from the software? Just a
Gantt Chart, or more extensive views? How much time, money and effort
are you willing to invest to accomplish this?
In this forum, you'll find that most of us favor Project, but for some
kinds of work, other software is better.
You really need to do a needs assessment to find out what will serve
you best, or you may find yourself, like many others, with the software
determining how you manage your projects, rather than you managing the
way you need to and using the software to aid in that process.

Hi Ricky,

Did you mean a paper report? If so, you could use the Who Does What When
report under Views/Reports. Alternatively, if you set up a new table with
the columns you want filled in, you can then filter this for each resource
and print it out. You could also create headers/footers which put in a
signature block and the date when the report is due, etc, (there's nothing
like having to sign for something to focus the mind on accuracy and
honesty!)

A CRM add-on I would pay for.

Posted: 01 Dec 2004 09:59 AM PST

http://www.appstrategy.com/

I had some discussions with these guys. It looked pretty sweet, but I find
myself in a quandry. I feel I really need to include the c360 to any
customer, I really feel like CRM is enhanced so much by their add-ons we
require them for all implementations. That adds up to about $150 or so a
user. The last I heard appStrategy was looking at pricing around $300 a
user. From what I have seen I have around a $200 a user gap that I can
upsell add-ons. Anything more than that looks like feature cover.

I do need the ability to add tables and screens to CRM. Coming from the
SalesLogix world in a former life that is what I loved about it. I could
literally add a new table and screens to manage it in a matter of days, that
info would also be synced out to the remotes and avaliable in reporting no
problem. I could also execute SQL scripts directly against the database
through the ODBC provider and they would sync properly. With Microsoft CRM
all this is a little tougher. I am willing to forgo the lack of custom
table reporting, and syncing, we can work around that. The ability I miss
most is the ability to develop my own screens to handle issues quickly.
Right now the development for MSCRM is about 1.5 times longer.

I think with a business object layer like what I am thinking about it could
reduce that to 1:1 or maybe make CRM development faster. But, all in all on
top of that I need to be able to license that at something relatively cheap,
or possibly license it by the developer so I can not charge my end customers
a lot per seat.

Right now if posed with the question of the c360 tools vs a custom solution
tool on a per user basis, I am going with c360. They just fill some big
gaps.


Sorry I am rabling I know. Been a long day.

Appologies assumed it was a web app :(

The context of the user running the application (that would be you I assume)
has got permission to crm.

I have had some hassles with the way you are creating the credentials, I
have had a lot more luck with this code:

private static System.Net.ICredentials CRMUserCredentials()

{

string AdministratorName = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CRMUserName"];

string password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CRMPassword"];

string domain = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CRMDomain"];

System.Net.ICredentials credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential

(AdministratorName,

password,

domain);

return credentials;

}

private static Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser BizUser()

{

Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new BizUser();


bizUser.Credentials = CRMUserCredentials();

bizUser.Url = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CRMServerURL"] +
"BizUser.srf";

return bizUser;

}

Do also note that this is for a web app, but try that and let me know

also check your iis logs on the server, to see if your app is actual hitting
the web services

Right now it is C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates and C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof.  Is there a way to change the setting for this?

style separator stops heading 1 numbering

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 02:12 PM PDT

Hello,

I am another student who needs to figure out the heading and TOC issues.

My school is asking me to include the following headings for level 1:

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

But the TOC needs to only list:

CHAPTER

1. INTRODUCTION..............................xyz

2. CHAPTERTITLE 2.............................abc

Therefore I have tried to make a separate style for the word "CHAPTER" and then combine "1 INTRODUCTION" via a style separator.

At the point where I try to combine the 2 lines the numbering in the heading disappears. The TOC however still shows it. Also the sub-chapters are still numbered correctly. So it seems to count as a new ain chapter number, it just isn't displayed.

Any thoughts?

Any better suggestions on this topic?

Thanks,

Markus

A style I've created is not showing up on the style pane

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 08:15 AM PDT


I've typed something, selected it, clicked on New Style button, (found on the styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S)), selected the List format, baptized it "Titulo I", customized the style, and gave OK.


This newly created style applied itself alright to my selection, shows up in the Apply Styles... listing (Ctrl+Shift+S), but does not appear on the Style pane.


Why ?



In manage Styles:

  • All are permitted on the Restrict tab
  • All are shown on the Recommend tab
  • The newly created style Does show up in Edit tab


Once again, microsoft: Why !?



And by the way,

Why I cannot delete the Heading 1 and 2 from the style pane, when there is only In use style marked. This style is definitely NOT in use.

Disappearing PlaceholderText in Word Content Controls and how to fix them

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 08:05 AM PDT

Hi,
I have recently started using ContentControls in Word 2013.  They are pretty useful and the following pages have been a great help:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_controls.html
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/modify_cc_placeholder_text.html

But Content Controls are prone to a few nasty bugs, see http://shaunakelly.com/word/word-development/placeholders-in-word-content-controls-for-developers.html. 

The main one I've found is that the Content Control's PlaceholderText object can sometimes disappear.  In the real world, this means that if you clear any entered text from a Content Control, it will display five spaces instead of the placeholder text you original entered at design time.  I've found this bug to be particularly prevalent when Content Controls are placed in Headers or Footers.

To fix this issue I would like to propose the following solution:

Const bIncludeSquareBrackets As Boolean = True


Sub RepairContentControlPlaceHolderText()
' This procedure checks for missing PlaceholderText objects within each ContentControl.
' If a missing PHT object is detected, a temp Content Control is added to the start of
' the document and a copy of its PHT object is made which is then applied to any CCs
' with missing PHT objects.  Then the PHT.Text is set to be the same as the CC's Title.
'
    Dim cc As ContentControl, ccTemp As ContentControl
    Dim phtNew As BuildingBlock
    Dim sec As Section
    Dim ftr As HeaderFooter, hdr As HeaderFooter
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim lnRepCount As Long
   
    On Error GoTo ExitPoint
   
    Debug.Print vbCr & "Starting repair of Content Control Placeholder Text"
   
     'Insert a temp CC and copy its PHT object:
    Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0)
    Set ccTemp = rng.ContentControls.Add(wdContentControlText)
    If Not ccTemp.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
        Set phtNew = ccTemp.PlaceholderText
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    ccTemp.Delete
   
     'Find any CCs with broken PHT objects and add in the phtNew object,
     'then reset the pth.Value to the correct string:
    For Each sec In ActiveDocument.Sections
         'FOOTER:
        For Each ftr In sec.Footers
            If ftr.Exists Then
                For Each cc In ftr.Range.ContentControls
                    If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
                        If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
                    End If
                Next cc
            End If
        Next ftr
       
         'HEADER:
        For Each hdr In sec.Headers
            If hdr.Exists Then
                For Each cc In hdr.Range.ContentControls
                    If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
                        If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
                    End If
                Next cc
            End If
        Next hdr
    Next sec
   
     'DOCUMENT BODY:
    For Each cc In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
        If cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
            If AddPhtToCc(cc, phtNew) Then lnRepCount = lnRepCount + 1
        End If
    Next cc
   
ExitPoint:
    Debug.Print vbCr & lnRepCount & " Content Controls were repaired."
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then Debug.Print "Exited due to error: " & Err.Description
End Sub

Function AddPhtToCc(cc As ContentControl, phtNew As BuildingBlock) As Boolean
' Function to insert the parsed PlaceholderText object into the parsed
' ContentControl object.  The PHT.Value is then set to the same as the
' ContentControl's Title.  If the constant bIncludeSquareBrackets has
' been set to True, the placeholder text is enclosed in square brackets.
'
' Function returns True if the PHT object was successfully replaced.
'
    Dim strA As String, strB As String
   
    If bIncludeSquareBrackets Then
        strA = "["
        strB = "]"
    End If
   
    Debug.Print vbCr & vbTab & "'" & cc.Title & "' is missing a PlaceholderText object!"
    cc.SetPlaceholderText BuildingBlock:=phtNew
    If Not cc.PlaceholderText Is Nothing Then
        cc.SetPlaceholderText Text:=strA & cc.Title & strB
        Debug.Print vbTab & "PHT.Value updated to: '" & cc.PlaceholderText.Value & "'"
        AddPhtToCc = True
    Else
        Debug.Print vbTab & "Could not fix PlaceholderText object in " & cc.Title
    End If
End Function

Character spacing / line density in DOC saved as DOCX changes slightly

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 06:04 AM PDT

Hi,

I opened my Resume which a consulting company formatted for me as DOC.  I am using Word 2013.  The first thing I did was save the DOC as DOCX, and was prompted some minor formatting changes may occur.

The change I noticed is DOCX tends to fit a few more words per line than DOC did.  The paragraphs are fully justified in both versions, but the word spacing is "tighter" in the DOCX version.  So the DOCX fits a few more words per line and a few more lines per page.

The result is the page looks a little "denser" than before.  Since it's my resume, I'm not sure if prospective employers will like the "denser" look or not :-)

Is there a way in DOCX to control the word/ line density so it behaves more like the same file that was saved as DOC?

Thanks.

OneDrive nested folders problem on Office for iPad

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 12:02 AM PDT

For some reason I can't explain, all three iPad Office apps show the contents of my "School" folder on OneDrive in the same folder that the "School" folder itself is stored in. For example, the "School" folder is stored in the "Documents" folder and "Document X" is stored in the "School" folder. When I open the "Documents" folder in my iPad Office apps, "Document X" appears right next to the "School" folder, not in it. I have tried signing out and in, deleting Word and reinstalling it. The only solution, oddly enough, was to rename my "School" folder to anything else. Suddenly everything looked fine. Once I switched it back, it was screwed up again. I suppose the problem is fixed, but I would really like to be able to name the folder my school files are stored in "School". I can't imagine what is causing this. I have had problems with deeply nested files on OneDrive before, but I have more deeply nested folders than those in my "School" folder that work just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Word for iPad won't activate

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:20 PM PDT

I downloaded Word, Powerpoint and Excel for iPad yesterday and purchased a 365 Home Certificate. I tried to activate Word and am always given the message "Cannot Activate. This account doesn't have a paid Office 365 subscription." Then I tried activating Powerpoint and Excel -- knowing if you activate one, they're all activated -- and those won't activate either.

I have the receipt and Order ID from Apple and their phone support has been great, including today, Saturday. But ultimately, they can't help, because it's up to the developer (Microsoft). Everything is fine on the Apple side.

I have done everything possible, from rebooting, to reinstalling, to resetting my network connections, without success. So I tried to call Microsoft Support (through a link Apple kindly supplied) only to find they don't work on weekends.

I've searched the internet for solutions, but the program is so new that I appear to be the only one so far with a problem -- or maybe no one's buying a 365 Home subscription for the first time.

Any thoughts that don't include all the things I've already done would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Don

Windows 8.1 and Office 2013

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 07:46 PM PDT

My Windows 8 computer updated to 8.1, but now I can't open any of my Microsoft Office 2013 components.  When I click open the circles and then does nothing.  When I try troubleshooting it says that WinWord is not compatible.  Does that even make sense?  And how do I get into Word.  I'm taking online classes and I need to get into my files as well as do other writing for class.  Any help?

deleted office 2013 by mistake

In Office 2013, text selection with a mouse is too sensitive.

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 03:17 PM PDT

In Office 2013, text selection with a mouse is too sensitive. If I want to select a letter, it selects the entire word or sentence. If I do not position the cursor just right, it will select the previous word or sentence instead of the following text segment.

This makes me have to do it again. It wasn't like this in Office 2010, and it's really annoying. Particularly if you work fast and select something to delete, you could delete the wrong thing. I first noticed this when Outlook.com updated over a year ago, and now the behavior has spread to Office 2013.

It's so bad, I often have to resort to keyboard selection shortcuts and abandon the mouse altogether. Basically, it sucks.

Is there any way to adjust this, or tell the Office team??
