"Scale to paper size" shortcut

Posted: 27 May 2014 01:10 PM PDT

Hi guys,

Do you know if you can set a shortcut (either a button or keyboard) to the Scale to Paper Size option? Or do you know how to generate a macro that scales the active document to a certain paper size? (yup, I'm the guy at Mexico with the paper sizes problem) I'm trying a new approach here.

Thank you all!

VBA for check box that when selected populates a text form field with the result entered in another text form field

Posted: 27 May 2014 01:07 PM PDT

Hello,

I have a set of text form fields in a Word Form that will sometimes have the same data as text form fields in a different area of the same form.

Is it possible to have VBA code that when someone selects s check box, the second set of text form fields will be populated by the results of the first set of text form fields.

The first set of text form fields have the bookmark names of Firstname and Lastname.  The second set of text form fields have the bookmark names of FirstnameBirth and LastnameBirth.

Thank you

Create new Word 2013 Quick Style from existing word document

Hello


I have been sent a word document that I want to use to create a new quick style in Word 2013. In previous versions this could be done by doing the following:

Change Styles > Style Set > Save As Quick Style Set

Can anyone please tell me how this is done in Word 2013?

Data in one box to fill in another box

Posted: 27 May 2014 11:22 AM PDT

Hello Word community!

I am wondering if there is a way that I can put data into one box, and then, based on the data entered, have another box with different but corresponding data populate?

At my work, I answer appeals for state institutional charges, and we use a book that has many offense codes for different offenses., such as "102- Possession of a Weapon" or "239A-Assault upon a non-offender." In the letters my department uses to respond, we have to put the "offense code" in one box and then the title of the offense in another.

So my goal is to have two boxes- one where I put in "102", and the other, that automatically populates with "Possession of a Weapon," or automatically populates per whatever offense code I enter. So "226" would pop up "Gambling or Possession of Gambling Paraphernalea" and "122A" would be "Possession of Unauthorized Drugs," etc. etc. etc.

Is this possible or am I just dreaming? I am pretty sure it has something to do with "Fill In Boxes", but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work...

Issue with inserting online video from YouTube

Posted: 27 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT

When attempting to insert online video in either Word 2013 or Powerpoint 2013 using the Youtube option, I click on a video then select insert but nothing happens.  This is while logged on as a domain account.  When I log onto the machine as a local user it works fine.  I have another domain account that is in the same OU and it also is fine.  As far as I can tell they have the exact same group policy settings.  The only difference is the account that is having the issue is a local profile while the one that works has a roaming profile.  Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this?

Creating scale drawings in MS Word 2010

Posted: 27 May 2014 08:57 AM PDT

Hi,

I am creating a document where I need to embed scale drawings.

In Word 2003 I found a very convenient way of achieving this, by embedding a MS Word Drawing Object. This allowed me to edit the drawing in a separate instance of Word at a 1:1 scale, while the view of the drawing in the main document could be scaled separately with the format object options.

Since the MS Word Picture Object is no longer available for insertion in Word 2010 documents, it seems this approach is no longer possible. I tried embedding a standard MS Word Document Object, but I found that changing the scale in the format object options of the main document has consequenses on the page size of the embedded document, is there an option somewhere which would affect this behaviour?

Can anyone suggest an alternative way to accomplish this level of conveniece when working with scale drawings?

Kind Regards,

Matt.

Indent Markers are not showing up on the ruler in Word 2013

Just received Office 2013 15.0.4615.1002 and now tab stops and indent markers do not show on the ruler in Word. 

Custom labels for captions are not available after the document is closed.

Posted: 27 May 2014 06:58 AM PDT

I am using Word 2003 on Windows 7. This is the first time I am using Word to do something this particular, so I may be doing something wrong. I am more more of a LaTeX user.

I have inserted pictures in my document, and added custom labelled caption. (Insert -> Reference -> Caption). I created a new label, and named it "fig.". I can then add cross-references, and the dropdown menu lists fig. with the list of all available captions. this works perfectly well.

However, after closing the document and reopening it, if I want to add a new cross-reference to an already existing label, when using Insert -> Reference -> Cross-Refence, my "fig." label does not show up in the list of available labels.

If I go to the bottom of my document, do the whole thing again and insert a new caption, and create a custom label, if I choose "fig.", then the newly inserted label gets the correct number (so the label number sequence is stored correctly in the document), and if I insert a cross-reference, then the whole list with all "fig." captions is available again.

Am I missing something?

I can't repair Error 1907 on my Word (Office 2010) in Win7. Why?

Posted: 27 May 2014 06:29 AM PDT

My OS is Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. Issue is created by Word (MS Office Home & Student 2010 SP1, 32-bit) although it worked OK on  WinXP.

When I click on the Word 2010 icon, the Word splash screen shows up for a moment and immediately is replaced with Window with MS Office Configuration progress. After 2/3 of the length of the progression bar the warning: 'Error 1907, Could not register font' is issued. The only working option there, is Abort that causes rolling back changes. 

I've tried to: 
1. Repair the installation from Programs and Features - no changes 
2. Scan system files with sfc /scannow - no problems found 
3. Substitute the Windows fonts with fonts from my MS Office 2010 installation DVD disk, which I failed, as I was unable to locate the .cab files with fonts on my MS Office installation disk. More specifically, I was unable to find PropPSww*.cab files suggested by some helpers on this forum, and the owow64ww.cab file after decompression didn't show any .ttf files. 

I don't know what to do further. Please help

How to solve the ignorance of numbering order in a shape?

Posted: 27 May 2014 01:23 AM PDT

Below is an example of the trouble in question.

Both "Africa," "Europe," and "Asia" are applied with the same level in a numbering system.

However, "Africa," which is located in a shape, doesn't share the numbering order, so "Europe" is preceded by a new order (no. 1) and does not succeed that of "Africa" to be preceded by no. 2.

Is there any solution for it?

Text Wrapping a graphic moves tab stops off page

Posted: 26 May 2014 11:29 PM PDT

Hi,

I have a menu and want to add some graphics.

The main format is <----text-----> (decimal tab) 99.99.

On inserting a wrapped picture that affects the text area the decimal tab stop on the ruler does not move, but the actual position that the price is displayed at moves to the right and can disappear off the right side of the page.

The effect is like this (p=picture area):-

<--------text---------> 99.99

ppp<--------text---------> 99.99

pppp<--------text---------> 99.99

ppp<--------text---------> 99.99

<--------text---------> 99.99

but should be:-

<--------text---------> 99.99

ppp<------text------> 99.99

pppp<-----text-----> 99.99

ppp<------text------> 99.99

<--------text---------> 99.99

I have tried different wrap styles but without any luck. Also with or without a leader.

Anyone got an idea?

Index has mixed fonts

Posted: 26 May 2014 06:47 PM PDT

I have five indexes. Everything works correctly except some of the lines in the indexes themselves are in small caps or bold or even in a different font. My index entries in the text do not call out any  fonts, faces, etc.

A typical entry for the Subject index (S) is { XE \F "S" "physics:relativity"} and for a multi-page entry, {XE \F "S" "Summary of Part B " \r "Z_B6"} where Z_B6 is the bookmark for the multi-page Part B summary. I use yellow as the highlight color for the former type and green for the multi-page ones. When I print I will remove the colors and substitute Bold for the latter type, if possible.

I can easily give an entire index a uniform font, face, size, etc. the same way I would do it in the text. Fine, but I would like some of the lines, namely those referring to a range of pages, to be in bold. Unexpectedly, the highlight color seems to be maintained correctly in all index lines.

1. Is there a way to search for text with a given highlight color?

1. Is there a way to specify the font, etc. in index entries in the text?

2. Specifically, is there a way to  make an index entry in the text specify bold?

Thank you. This has been puzzling me for months.

Hi R.J.,

Office 2007 has different limits for Terminal Server installation. Only Enterprise editions with Volume License Keys are supported
for Terminal Server.

Did the precache work, or was that where you had the error message?
Did you extract the ISO image contents to an Office Network Installation point on your hard drive and then run setup from there?

Can you email me a zipped set of the latest run logs from
Start=>Run %temp% ?

Bob - there was no registry key there, there is no update waiting to install.

Ran the precache setup from the RK KB - made no difference, same error
during install. There is no doc on Terminal server installs - only a
placeholder for future docs.

Why is 2007 having so many issues installing - 2003 never had any problem
installing. Any more things I can look at?

Office 2003 after repair: need to reinstall service packs and upda

Posted: 11 Dec 2006 08:15 AM PST

Hi Tom,

The MS Installer caches (saves) installed updates for reuse in the \Windows\Installer folder. The installer can reapply them as
part of a repair/reinstall of an Office 2000 or later product if the cache is undamaged and if the links between the installed
product and the stored updates isn't damaged (often by using a 'cleanup' product). If the linkage or cache is damaged then the
repair/reinstall will fail with a 'patch package' related error message.

For missing mapped drives there are a number of scenarios that can be at play. If you have recently used files, templates or a
printer driver that were on a drive and it is no longer available, Windows via the Office dialogs is trying to connect to it so you
can use it again. The delay comes from the waiting for it to be available again and eventually times out.

Have you removed the links to the mapped drive connections?

=============
<<"TomG" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
I don't think you quite get my point. The original DVD doesn't know about
anything issued subsequent to the original date of the DVD. If Detect and
Repair replaced any files during the repair process from the DVD, then they
could well be out of date. I'm sure that MS Update doesn't examine every
file, just the info about previously installed service packs and updates, so
it thinks everything is current.

Also, does Microsoft have a fix for the disconnected mapped drives problem
that caused my problem in the first place, in which use of file open/save
dialog boxes in any office program causes a "not responding" lock-up. This
really should be addressed since I've been talking with several people this
morning since I started on this problem, and most everyone has experienced it. >>

Office 2007 Trial and Office 2003

Hi Dakota,

You probably won't be able to use Word 2007 as the email editor for Outlook 2003.

You may want to consider trying the trial edition of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 Edition [dubbed "Your Household helper"
by Microsoft] as that Edition does not include Outlook 2007.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX101635841033.aspx

It does include OneNote 2007 (but you won't be able to use your 2007 OneNote files in OneNote 2003 as I understand it, should you
decide to go back to 2003).

Great idea except that doesn't work. Here's why. The OCT applies those
settings during setup. This means it applies then under the administrator
account. Therefore any user other than the administrator will be prompted
with this very very annoying window. So is there anyway to turn this off
per machine rather than per user.

If not I better start working on the memo/tutorial for my users.

Quite restrictive. I'd assume that what you are looking for will be in
the Office Resource Kit, which is not available yet.
You might want to ask for permission to download it and also install
Virtual PC. That way you could have a virtual machine where you have
full admin rights to play with stuff, but still have a locked down
desktop.
Quite frankly, I am not sure how anyone can prepare a rollout and not
have some computer with admin rights available!

Bob,

For user environment variable, both temp and tmp are set to c:\temp, which

For system environment variable, both temp and tmp are set to
c:\windows\temp, which also exists.

I see one Building Blocks file, Building Blocks.dotx, which is dated 27 Oct
06 08:32.
And one Document Building Blocks FOlder in Documents and Settings with
nothing in it.

And various Visual Studio Folders with Building Blocks in the names.

I am currently boning up on registries with Honeycutt's "Microsoft Windows
Registry Guide" to begin to look into the registry for possible problems.

I have seen limited reviews on four or five applications, but am unsure from
the reviews which ones are really the best. Any recommendations of
experience with any of the following (lastest versions)?

Advanced System Optimizer
Fix-It Utilities
Ace Utilities

how run linux from CD, porblem is very problematic

Posted: 03 May 2006 09:46 AM PDT

Hello magnate,

The setup worked all the way till it loaded drivers from CD rom but
after that it would say that there is error reading cd and when i used
option of checking the integrity of the Debian CD it says that it is
not an Debian disk.

Funny thing earlier in the installtion it recognised the CD as an
debian installer CD and when the actual installation process came it
just refuses to accept the cd as that of Debian.

any guess why.

I want to learn linux programing so my requirements are just gcc and if
possible gtk or graphical development environment can you suggest any
solution to above with my current system configration because i am not
going to purchase any new computer in the near future because this old
guy is just working fine for me and i have run the open office non
installation distribution for windows. It just takes some time and
gives some errors but i can do almost all the things i do with
mircrosoft office.

Thanks for your Support.

Sendmail Setup

Posted: 01 May 2006 11:06 AM PDT

The Natural Philosopher wrote:
 

Some POP3, and especially IMAP servers, can authenticate via database
back-ends. This creates a possibility for shared resources or multiple user
access to the same shared email that's otherwise access.

In fact, if possible, throw out POP3. There are many, many powerful
technical reasons not to use it, the most important of which is that if you
connect to the same server from two different clients, the layout of
mailboxes is almost impossible to synchronize with POP3.
 

I've seen similar, where a VP hired a secretary to manage their
overwhelming mail spool rather than upgrading the server to MAILDIR so they
could easily access and manage their huge mailboxes.
 

I've worked with both. I got turned onto Postfix less than 3 years ago,
because so many folks I worked with really insisted on using UNIX servers
such as Suns for core services. I'm very disenchanted with the approach:
useful and problem-saving shifts, such as the integration of procmail and
milters, tend to lag way behind in default UNIX sendmail releases.
 

And this is relevant. "Avoid the need".
 

Oh, please! POP3, which is the name of the protocol, works just fine until
it shreds people's email because *every single POP3 client in the universe*
downloads all the mail and deletes it off the server, by default. This means
that every time someone sets up a new client, they risk blowing away all
their email from the server. This is painfully stupid and risks user's
email. I've had to fix and restore mail blown away this way, repeatedly,
until I migrated people over to IMAP.

And please, learn the language of what you're discussing. There is no such
thing as POPD. There are easily dozens of POP daemons available, but none of
them I've seen in the Linux world are called POPD. There is pop3d, which is
what some software calls the daemon, and even pop2d for POP2 as opposed to
POP3 services.

FC5 Installation Problems

Posted: 30 Apr 2006 12:42 PM PDT

Hi Bill Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I think I'm making things a bit complicated, basically I can't
get into the GUI installer it X Server just hangs at a black screen.
However I have found a work around, by using the 'linux nodmraid'
command I managed to boot into the GUI.

The only problem is I need dmraid to be on. I can't get into the
installer without the nodmraid command, but the installer dosent see my
RAID Array without it!

I have tried the vesa drivers ('linux vesa') but all that happens is I
get a no signal error when the GUI is meant to boot up.

So does anyone know a workaround for my nodmraid problem?

Trying to drop MSCRMDistribution table

Posted: 28 Jan 2005 07:17 AM PST

I am having a similar problem, but I have disbaled replication and deleted
the Publications. My issue is that i do want replication and publishing
enabled for the SFO client, but that was not working for us. I still have my
distribution database named Service_Point_USA_MSCRMDistribution, but when I
enabled replication I can not reference this DB because the name already
exists and it creates one with the default name of distribution, and the end
result is that the SFO fails. I can not detach the DB or delete ( i have
backups of the DB). I have run the commands to disable repl on the DB in
question, but that does not work...any thoughts on how to fix this. The SFO
client is a big reason why we went with MSCRM.

Thanks for your response. Yes I did try lower case but it didn't work
either. I think your'e right, none of the resolution information is
avaialble, which is extremely poor.
It's one of the key requirements of our customers that they get the
resolution text when a fault is closed.
I have a meeting with a technical guy from Microsoft next week and I will
raise it with him along with other issues. He has said there is to be an
announcement on Monday 31st regarding CRM release, hopeful it will be good
news for everyone.

Actually, if you look at the view that is defined for each object, that will
give you all the column names you can use. This is better the the XSD as the
XSD will tell you there is a "name" attribute on the owner elelment, but the
view will tell you it's called ownername.

The views are the table name w/o the word "base".

Tom, I've been through the same situation. Try looking at the CRM SDK and

when I stick to the entity/column names listed in the .xsd files, they work
fine. I have to remind myself that I'm dealing with a predominantly XML-based

SQL-server tables and columns and things work much better.

If that doesn't work, check the users setting in IE for the Local Intranet zone.
A tthe bottom of the Custom setting you will see an option for integrated login.
If you set that to allow from the Intranet, it will work.

Posted: 26 Jan 2005 02:59 PM PST

Hi alpeugene,

connecting directly to sqlserver doesn't provide CRM-Security, that
means, you would see more contacts than you are allowed to.
Therefore the results you get with the same criteria would be
different.

Perhaps you can use infobridge FX to build your own solution.

If you've turned replication completely off for the 2 DB's, then you should be
able to drop the existing Distribution DB. I am pretty sure the commands to
re-establish the replication will recreate it. As always, make sure you have a
backup first though.

Remove Mail GUID

Posted: 25 Jan 2005 07:55 PM PST

Hello

Sorry had some problems with the format of the answer. Hope that helps
to read the answer.

Following steps to remove the GUID:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM.
2. Find the registry key with a ValueName: MessageTagBehavior
3. if the key does not exists, create it using the following values:
Value Type: DWORD key value
Value Name: MessageTagBehavior
Value data: 0
4. If the Value is set to Null or 1, the tracking number will be attached.
If the Value is 0, the GUID is not attached to outgoing e-mails.
5. Restart the MS CRM Exchange Queue Service

Removing the GUID results in the loss of MS CRM ability to automativally
track
the incoming e-mails!!!!?

Hi,

FIrst of all, thanks for trying to give me some suggestions...
I don't think that this issue was caused by missing DLL or wrong path...
Actually, the error message that I wrote always changes the name whenever I
run the web service app.
Also I do not have any problem to run any other web service in this project.
I strongly beleive that this issue is somehow related to the class that xsd
generated. I could guess what the error originis, but I needed some clue to
solve thise issue.....

Did anybody have same issue like me?

Cant Synch

Posted: 25 Jan 2005 10:11 AM PST

I called Support and they helped me fix the error.

This message is caused when Synch in process is stopped or gets corrupted.
The SQL Server Replication monitor shows the synch in progress, so when the
user tries to synch again, the it sees the user logged in.

Solution:
Need to delete the process in replication
Possibly Need to force a synch by deleting a entry from registry on client
machine.

Customization & v2

From what I have heard as long as you do your customisation using the fully

adding additonal fields to Accounts / Contacts then I cannot see any issues.

This is not applicable for CRM reports or the Great Plains integration.

Adding dates to activity views

Yes, I'm completely aware of that this an unsupported customization.
However, I'm just adding two date columns to the activitiy views (which I
BTW think should have been there from start). After the next upgrade, I will
have to add the date columns again, and hopefully I will be able to do it the
"official" way by then.

The information about how to customize the views is widespread, I have seen
at least a dozen postings about it, in this forum and in others. People also
know how to find the IDs for different views in the database.


Extremely Long SFO synchronization times

We experienced similar degradation of performance over time when using SFO

We were able to improve performance by using the following document:
