Distribution groups not working

Posted: 12 Feb 2007 01:32 PM PST

It would make sense if the group were null. Many times when I see this
probem it is because the distibution group is not a universal group. The
membership of universal groups is stored in the GC partition. For domain
groups, the membership must be expanded by contacting a domain cotroller
(designated expansion server) and is often problematic. If the expansion
server cannot be contacted or is not designated, a null set is returned.
Try converting the distribution groups to universal groups.

As a side note, try this experiment: Create a distibution group with no
members. Mail enable it and give it the smtapaddress of your choice (may I
suggest com). Turn message tracking on and send a
message to it. Does the output of the tracking logs look familiar? (If you
every really want to send mail to the bitbucket, this is the way to do it)

Corrupted public folder

If you're doing a brick-level (aka mailbox level/folder level) backup, you
should probably check with Symantec support. You also want to make sure you
are doing such a backup*only* in conjunction with an *online* backup of the
full Exchange stores, both public and private. Mailbox/brick-level backups
and restores are often fraught with errors and are generally not

Updating of MS Intelligent Filtering

Posted: 08 Feb 2007 04:54 PM PST

It uses Microsoft Update.
You can turn off automatic updates and go to Microsoft Update manually in a
web browser, or you can schedule Automatic Updates to be run at a certain
time. Alternatively, Scott Roberts posted this script on the team blog that
you can use to download IMF updates only. You can run the script as a

Mark,

We look after a large number of customers on different sites. Is it just me
or is it that when people get these e-mails they just ignore it?

Although I check the exchange like you said, some users have different
limits on their mailbox. So it would be helpful to receive the e-mail as well.

I hope this sort of explains the scenario but if it can't be done then fine.

Many thanks,

Enforcing standardisation of documents

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 07:55 AM PDT

Hi there,

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but I searched around for a while and couldn't find the information I need, so thought I'd ask.

I'm running Microsoft Word 2013.

I've been tasked with creating standardised templates for certain corporate documents, and would like to "foolproof" them.

What I mean by that is, making it as difficult as possible to operate outside of the template I create, for example I wouldn't want somebody moving the company logo in the header around because it makes their title fit more conveniently.

I'm aware that it's likely impossible to actually lock the content completely while still making the document editable in places, but how would I go about making sure it's at least difficult?

For example, a report. I might set up a textbox with a heading, and I'd like that heading to remain as it is, format and all, for all eternity.

Or the company logo being in the top right of the document in the header, immune to accidental selection and dragging when somebody's changing the header, or being squished and downsized.

Is there anything I can do? I'm particularly interested in making the logo in the header immovable, that's priority number 1. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful

Word 2013 cannot print a specific document

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 03:45 AM PDT

I have recently updated a client to Office 365.  They are happily using Office 2013 but we have a problem with one Word document they get emailed every month.

This one page balance statement will not print in Word 2013.    This happens on any PC with Office 365 Word 2013.  The machines are fully updated.

The document has images in the header and footer.  It has text in the footer as well.

If I remove the header and footer in Word, it still will not print.  It occurs on all 3 of the printers I tried (separate drivers).  

Only if I cut and paste each part (body, header, footer) into Publisher can I then print. (not a solution)

Any ideas how to force Word 2013 to print what Word 2010 prints easily? 

Replace string of words using wildcards

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:17 AM PDT

I'm looking for a way to use wildcards to replace a string of words in a long document.  The problem is that while the words are bounded by the same symbols, the words are different each time.


I would like to replace sentences like these:


* 1 * Om Sthirayai Nama - Salutations to Him who is perennial
* 2 * Om Sthanave nama - Who is the axis of the world


so that they look like this:


1 - Salutations to Him who is perennial
2 - Who is the axis of the world


There numbers go up to 1008.  I don't mind if the asterix are kept as long as the words between and including Om and nama are deleted.

Is there a way to do this?  I had a look at a few pages on wildcards but could only find a way to delete different letters within a word.

Thanks




MS Word 2013 - How do you move a table / use the selector to move a table

Posted: 24 Jul 2014 02:04 AM PDT

Hi All,

I swear this cannot be as hard as it seems but I have found nothing after searching other forums and posts...

I am using MS Word 2013 and I cannot move a table.  Whether I create the table using MS word or if I cut and paste one from MS Excel (both 2013 versions) I cannot actually move the table.  That is, the left/right/up/down arrow box you see in the 2010 version does not appear.  So at this point I am pretty much stuck with inserting a table on the left margin and cannot move it around.

So...how do I actually move the table, this seems like such a basic feature and I am struggling for what to do.  Thanks,

Side by Side Error when trying to open 2007 Word and other similar programs

An attempted system restore was not successful (the restore actually failed and the restore point was not far enough in the past to pre-date the problem).

I attempted to run a sfc scan was suggested in one form (to another user), but this failed at ~77%, with a message which said that it could not perform the process.

Any help would be much appreciated as this has consumed my entire day!

Thank you in advance.

Japanese Font Problems - Microsoft Word

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 04:29 PM PDT

Okay. So I am a Japanese major so a LOT of my typing happens in Japanese. For regular paper MS Mincho is fine, but I normally like to use SimSun when I am reading it as a personal preference. The only problem is that now that I am using Word, it apparently thinks I'm three years old and can't choose my own font. I changed the default theme, changed the styles, AND tried directly changing the font to SimSun but as soon as I start typing it changes back to MS Mincho EVEN THOUGH THE THEME IS SAYING THE DEFAULT IS SIMSUN. Honestly it's not THAT big of a deal, but it is crazy irritating and the fact that I cannot simply change the font (like in Word 2003 or *cough* LibreOffice) is enough to **** me off. Before I throw my computer out of the window, is there another solution I can try? Thank you.

No, you cannot remove the decimals shown in the Task Usage sheet. I suppose

Start & Finish matches other Tasks' Start & Finish?

Posted: 11 Aug 2005 06:46 PM PDT

Thank you so much! That solution worked perfectly except for one problem. I
hope you have a solution.

the problem is that my MPP file is stored on SharePoint. When I try to do a
paste link, I get the message: "You cannot create links from a project file
that exists on a web folder to another file."

I have absolutely no external links to another file, so I'm assuming this
message is a bug since there is no "another file." Furthermore, if I save
the file locally, I can make the "paste links" fine, upload the file back to
SharePoint, and open and make further updates to the file without problems
and the "paste links" are still intact.

Unfortunately, that workaround won't work for me since I'm developing a
procedure to be used by our department and many people won't have a local
place to save the file; they can only make updates on SharePoint.

I'm suspecting that the problem might have something to do with the fact
that Project inserts "%20" in for every space in the filename. I'll try to
verify that, but, regardless, our naming conventions require spaces in the
name.

Thanks

% of work load

When you make the first resource assignment to a task, Project assumes you
had the % you assign in mind when you made the original duration estimate.
So I'f I have a task that is 20 hours duration and I assign Joe to it 100%,
it stays at 20 hours. But if I assign Joe at 50% it ALSO stays at 20 hours.
If I assign him at 10% or 72% or anything, the same 20 hour duration will
remain as long as it's the FIRST assignment.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for responding. I should have been more specific about what I wanted
to do. I agree that I could "hard code" the name in the report header. Bu
that's going to be a real pain for 100 resources. What I'm trying to do is
add a column/field from a table to the report somehow. The header would be
perfect. However, when I look at the drop down on the header screen,
Resource Name is not there. "Resouce Names" is there, but that's no help.

There is a workaround. Use a custom formula in an unused text field.
I use the following formula:

By editing the formula you can add the .day if you like.

Then format your bars to show the new value. Unfortunately the timescale is
not configurable.

Hi jseiler ,

I can't answer your question because I don't know your circumstances or what
you want to do. I don't think there is such a thing as "simple tracking" -
tracking is tracking and that's how it's done. If you want to use EVA, the

knowing what you want to do.

There are others out there who have had a lot of experience in tracking and

The list above is not sorted by 'name' and not very usefull, right?
It looks like sorted by DB_ID altough I am not very sure about it.

So my question is "is it possible to sort these lists by name?" if not,

It is normal practice to use SortOrder (10, 20, 30 etc) field or just to

Just beware that the BOL version will state that the table defination "could"
exceed 8k as long as the columns are defined as VARs. It's the actual data that
cannot exceed 8k. Thus, the program must know this might happen and then handle
the sitiation where the data limit was exceeded. CRM chose to avoid this by
instituing a hard limit at 8K on the definition of the table.

open office writer enlarges all my docs

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 02:37 PM PDT

I had Microsoft 2003-2007 and switched to open office and had no problems for a month or so until this: when I open it with open as open office it flashes to a page that says: The microsoft product necessary to open this file is not installed on your computer, then 3 choices: (1) I already purchased office 2010 and a button says "ACTIVATE" (2)-Go online to purchase Office and (3) try office for free for a limited time then a button says "TRY." And so I right-clicked and opened with "open office writer" for the first time and now when I click on any of my files they open with what says on top of the page open office writer but the print is way too large and so large it's completely too big for the page. Does anyone know how I can change back so my files will not be so large and unreadable? I mean, I hate this pressure to always purchase something else to solve the problem and even then it does no good. Free is never free time wasted on these things kills me.


how to remove the search panel in word 2013?

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 02:06 PM PDT

Hello,

so let's say I do ctrl+f and then search something in my document. but now I want to close the search panel.

for this I ( without wanting to use the touchpad and only the keyboard) press esc. and that works fine. the panel closes.,

the issue is that sometimes it doesn't. and then I have to use the touchpad on my laptop andclick the small X on the top right side of the panel.

how to avoid this? is there a sure-shot way way of escaping from the panel without using the mnouse? I am certain there must be some expert out there who can probably give a macro for this!

thanks in advance!

Printing Envelopes in Word 2007

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Is there a simple fix to the problems with printing envelopes.  This return address printing issue, or lack thereof, is driving me nuts.  When I view the envelope in preview mode, you can see that actually, both ends of the envelope do not print.  Sure would appreciate someone giving me simple instructions on how to correct this.

Thank you!! 

Word 2007 Paint Brush issues

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 01:58 PM PDT

what do you do when you double click the paint brush tool, then go to scroll to the new spot you'd like to apply the formatting, and the paintbrush un-clicks itself.... this happens on occasion in word 2007. as soon as I scroll, the icon un-highlights. In order to get it to work i have to select the text I want to duplicate, scroll to the text I want to fix, THEN click paint brush, then apply. And no matter if I click it once or twice, it applies and then unclicks itself. HELP! HUGE file to work on with MUCH repeat text.

Formatting of cross-reference hyperlink different from ordinary hyperlink

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 12:06 PM PDT

In this thread on another forum a user complained because the hyperlinks in their documents were not displaying as hyperlinks (blue, underlined).

Here is a link to a sample document.

In examining the document, I discovered that the links were REF fields cross-referencing to headers with a hyperlink switch. The links were formatted in the hyperlink character style and functioned as hyperlinks. However, they display as ordinary text. A hyperlink to the same heading inserted directly as a hyperlink does have the blue underlined text.

To me, this seems very reasonable, given the different purposes of REF fields and hyperlinks, but I had never read anything about it before or noticed it. I may just be displaying my ignorance.

I've checked Word 2003 and Word 2010. Both behave this way. Again, I expect that it is by design, and that would be a good design. It just caught me off-guard.

Word 2003 with Windows Vista Home Premium - Word Tools don't work, but can use keyboard shortcuts

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 12:04 PM PDT

I have Microsoft Office 2003 and am having a problem with Word. 
I can open documents but I can't use the Tools from the menu. 
When I open Tools, I can't click on anything in the drop down box. 
Examples: 
I'm a writer so I'm working on a document and need to know how many words I've written, but I can't click on Word Count under Tools. 

Another example:
I'm editing for someone else, so wanted to turn on Track Changes under tools, but it won't let me select it. 

If there is a shortcut, I can use that, for example F7 makes the spellchecker run (can't pick it under TOOLS but can hit F7 and it does. 
I can hit Control/Shift/E and turn Track Changes on, but can't turn it on under Tools. 

I've tried finding Normal.dot and deleting it - it didn't help. 

What can I do to get my tools functioning again? 

Please Help! :)

MS-Office 2007 and Vista: using copy/paste within document or from another document and Office freezes; appears to hang

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 10:13 AM PDT

Hello,

I keep getting Word and Excel to freeze for a time period (losing link to MS-Windows).

It takes some time (several minutes) but often resets itself.  Usually, I have to restart the copy/paste process.

It is intermittent but frequent.

Is there a setting that is causing this?

What can I do to correct/prevent this?

Thank you,

How to Protect a Word Table in a Word Document without Protecting the Word Document

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 09:41 AM PDT

Is there any way we can Protect a Word Table alone without Protecting the Entire Word Document?

or

My requirement is to Protect the Table from Editing but at the same time, the other default word features like, Track Changes, Page Orientation etc., shouldn't be disabled. Because while the document is Protected, I couldn't Accept or Reject Track Changes, the menu options are being disabled.

Any kind of help is much appreciated!

Double sided printing from Word

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:17 AM PDT

I often get a problem when printing a long document double sided from MS Word 2010 professional.  OS is Windows 7 professional 64 bit.  My printer is now an HP Officejet Pro 8600 but I had the same problem with my previous HP Officejet Pro 8500.  It prints page 1 on the first side of sheet 1, but prints page 2 on the first side of sheet 2, page 3 on the second side of sheet 2.  The printer is fully duplex printing printer, has all the hardware to print  both sides.  I am pretty sure I have the latest driver for the HP 8600.  Also I am sure I have all the latest patches for the HP8600.  I seem to remember if I print a long document from Word and have this problem and then print it from Adobe Reader using the exported PDF file (from Word) I don't have the problem.  It appears to me that it is a Word problem but doesn't always occur.  Seem to crop up when I have a long many page document! Not when I am printing 4 or so sheets.  Under Word Options advanced there are some settings such as 'Print on the front of the sheet for duplex printing' [Tick Box] and also 'Print on the rear of the sheet for duplex printing [Tick Box].  But I don't see why I should have to play with these when the printer is professional duplex printer and Word when printing has an option to select printing on both sides with Flip on short or long edge etc... This really frustrates me and I had it on the 8500 and now on my new 8600.  And I notice that others have had this problem.  Looked at the replies but can't see anything that solves this for me with an HP 8600 etc... Any ideas?

Find Saved Template in Word 2013 Office 365 Pro Plus

Remove box from document

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 08:12 AM PDT

Hi, 

I am using MS Office 2013 on a Windows 8.1 platform as well. I am working with a document that has a box as an anchor, but it is annoying because even though I use the text wrap option, the box does not enlarge to wrap the text; some of the text "spills" over on to the lines that immediately follow the box.

I want to remove this anchor and just use a plain text document, but I did not find any option in Word. Can you help me do this please?

Office 2010 Glitches with Word/Excel and Outlook - FIXED ???

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 07:25 AM PDT

I use Office 2010 and there are two little items that drive me Crazy.  Is there a fix or does anyone know how to change a setting or whatever to stop this from happening:

First

MS Word - Typing Replaces Selection

This option comes unchecked at random times.  It has been suggested that I am accidently hitting a keystroke combination to do this but I don't think so.  This is not the same as insert/overtype.  I highlight with my mouse and instead of deleting the old text and replace with amended text Word keeps the old text and adds the new text to the document. 

Second

Outlook in conjunction with Word/Excel

If there is an unsaved document in word or excel and you have Outlook open, routinely the document cannot be closed because when you click close or save the new window opens BEHIND the "Word" document with no way to move the window.  To get out of this, I need to press escape to close the open dialog box, Close Outlook, save my document then re-open outlook.  One possible trigger for this scenario is when you need to send a document using the send as attachment option (which I use a lot) within Word or Excel.  Even if the document you are sending is saved, any open document in either Word or Excel is subject to this little glitch.

These two things are driving me out of my mind because once you get into a work routine these annoying little matters pop up and disrupt train of thought and work flow.  Anyone else having this issue...more importantly, how is this fixed?

Word 2013 Crashes in Windows 8.1 Pro when a document has an Image in the Header

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 07:17 AM PDT

At the moment, when I open up a word document on my Desktop running 'Windows 8.1 Pro' using Word 2013, Word 2013 displays the following message when the document in question has an image in the header. 

Microsoft Word has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. 

This does not occur on my laptop running 'Windows 8.1'. I edit the document in my laptop to test why it isn't opening and syncing via OneDrive to the Desktop. I've tried renaming the file, copying/pasting the contents into a new blank document, and finally when I took the image out of the header the document opens up correctly on the Desktop running Windows 8.1 Pro

Thank you for your time. 

Can not edit Excel Tables in new and existing Word docs

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 07:09 AM PDT

Hello,

I have existing Word Files that contain excel tables.  Files are both from older Word Versions and ones created new with 2013.  I have never had any issues before.  Today when I opened up one of the files to edit all the edit features on the Excel Table are greyed out.  I can change the text but can no add or remove rows/columns, change cell format etc.  When I double click on the Excel Table to open it up all the Toolbars and ribbons dissapear.  They return for the Word document once I click out of the Table.  I created a new word document and created a new Excel table in it.  Same thing happened.  I have checked and all of my files are this way now.  PLEASE HELP!!!!  Did a setting get changed somewhere?

Local Normal Style Applied to Incoming Document

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 06:28 AM PDT

Among those that I support, some installations of Word 2010 will automatically apply their local Normal style settings to a document that comes in. 

I.E.   Linda has a document formated with the font Times New Roman 12pt and no space after each paragraph. 

When Michael opens the same document,  his Normal style get applied to the document,  font Calibri 11 and 1.15 spacing etc. and then the document looks very different.  What is espeically problematic is that the paragraph formatting changes and the pages break very differently.

We want it set so that when someone receives a document,  Word will accept the formatting/styles embedded in the document and not apply its own styles to the file.

If anyone has any insights on what causes this or how this can be resolved,  it would be appreciated. 

Bob

Files don't stay open in Word 2013

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 06:27 AM PDT

Unfortunately I am still having problems keeping files to stay open in Winword 2013.

On selecting a previously created file, it will momentarily appear and then completely disappear.

The one instance when I was successful in keeping a file open I cannot repeat and have no idea what the difference was at the time.

Drop down menu in Word template works fine, but when I add the function to repeat the list I cannot write behind it anymore

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 05:49 AM PDT

Hi guys & sorry for the unclear title.

I use a very simple template to make a plan for every coming week. Now I wanted to add a drop-down menu to be able to select a day (Monday, Tuesday etc. just the word itself) after which I write down comments for that day. So what I'm trying to make would start like this:

<Choose from list> +     ("+" being add another drop-down menu below)

And after using it something like this:

Monday        [random notes]

Tuesday        [random notes]

Wednesday  [random notes]

I added the drop-down menu to my template, that works fine, but then when I use "Repeating Section Content Control" I am no longer able to write behind the drop-down menu to add my notes. Is there some way to circumvent this?

It sounds so simple and I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask this, but any input would be greatly appreciated!

How do I sign out of office 365

'Dir' to check existence of file in OneDrive

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 03:12 AM PDT

I have files saved in my OneDrive folder.

My VBA routine is programmed to check for the existence of a desired file (let's call it 'mydoc.doc') that resides in the same folder as the open document.

For purposes of this question, the open document came from my OneDrive, and the command PathIs =ActiveDocument.Path returns (not real) "https://d.docs.live.net/abcdefg/myfolder"

Using that address, I then try to run :

If Dir(https://d.docs.live.net/abcdefg/myfolder/mydoc.docx") = "mydoc.docx" then

   'do true stuff

Else

   'do false stuff

End If

BUT Dir does not seem to work against files stored in OneDrive,. How can I check for the existence of a file on my OneDrive?

Other possibly helpful info:

    My OneDrive is mirrored on my local C: drive, but when I call up the document from what I think is the C: drive, it returns only the https coordinates in response to 'ActiveDocument.Path'. (I.e., I cannot get ActiveDocument.Path to return the mirrored path on my C: drive)

    I tried:

     dir(\\d.docs.live.net\abcdefg\myfolder\mydoc.docx)

but that didn't work either.)

Macro to change font color

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 02:40 AM PDT

I'd like to assign keyboard shortcuts to 3 different macros to change the font color to:


1. Custom Purple:

- Red 255

- Green 0

- Blue 255


2. Light Blue

3. Red


I've read another question on a similar topic that explained how to do it with changing the character style but I don't want it to change the font or other formatting options, just the color.  Is there a way to do this with macros?  I ran across this macro for Excell:


Sub changeTextColor()

    GreenColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
    RedColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
    BlackColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
       
End Sub

Is there a way to edit this to what I want?  I'm afraid I'm not familiar with editing macros, just recording them.

Old form fields not working after saving Word 2013 doc

Posted: 23 Jul 2014 01:26 AM PDT

Am working with a fill-in order form created originally as a Word 2008 docx. My usual practice has been to open the latest version of my form, which is saved in an unlocked state. I make edits and then, after locking the form, I save it as a file with a new name to use for sending to clients for placing orders. Since updating to Word 2013 I notice that after I lock the form I am able to see that the check boxes and pull down boxes work. But after I do as "save as" to create my locked file for customer use and close the file, when I reopen it the fields on the form no longer work. The check boxes are locked and the drop down menus are not available. It appears as though the form was locked for all edits, but it was locked to allow for the form to be filled in.

What should I do?

Different first page

Posted: 22 Jul 2014 04:35 PM PDT

I have a five page document. I want my letterhead on the very first page, in the header section, but on subsequent pages, I want nothing in the header section. I've tried creating a "different first page" on page 2, which worked almost ok. The problem is with the sizing of the header on page 2 and onwards. Its the same size as page one, only blank. When I adjust it on page 2, with different first page selected on page 2, page 1 header adjusts to match page 2. How do I fix this, so all I get is one header on page one, without affecting any other page, in content and size?
