Can Ex07 be set to default to disable external out of office?

Posted: 06 Sep 2008 06:28 PM PDT

So that would block outgoing OOF to all internet domains, and we would
enable it to allow OOF replies to certain domain, correct?

If so, that's not really what I'm wanting. I'm more looking for a way to
set the defaults for the mailbox "ExternalOOFOptions" to "internal only", so
that we can enable the automatic replies on a user basis by resetting
certain users to "External" on an as-needed basis. Something like the
mailbox limits settings where it's set by default on the info store, but can
be overridden by settings on the users mailbox.

IMAP on a per store basis?

Posted: 04 Sep 2008 09:58 AM PDT

I'd using something like ADModify, to bulk enable/disable IMAP on your
selected user base for this service.

In regards to searching for them, give them a unique stamp - something like
putting something for them in one of the custom attributes - so you can
search against that string.

I can't create a new domain in my POP3 Service which has the same name as a domain in the SMTP Service

Posted: 03 Sep 2008 03:01 PM PDT

What's cool is that this IIS server running the POP3 service is on my lab
subnet, but it "acts" like an Internet mail server, as far as Exchange is
concerned. Although it truly is a "bare bones" mail server, it doesn't use
up an Exchange license. Thanks to you, I got it all up and running.

I've decided to drop the calendar part of exchange and to try migrating

I think it is the best workaround.

External sender has internal email address?

Posted: 03 Sep 2008 07:14 AM PDT

Outlook doesn't create them. Exchange may, depending on your recipient
policies. If the recipient policy that gets applied has two addresses that
match the form, then you have your answer. If not, then the address would
have to have been added by a previous but now-deleted policy, or by a human
being manually.

Move from SmartHost Relay to Direct - Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified

Posted: 28 Aug 2008 08:22 AM PDT

Hi

Thank you for your post.

Just to let you know I got to the bottom of it.

We still want the MailEssentials and MailSecurity for anti-spam, a second
scan on inbound mail, to perform granular internal requirements and also to
scan outbound mail. It seems that some mail servers did not like the
server's internal domain showing in the message header
"servername.ourdomain.local". Filling out the masqurade domain field on the
SMTP Server fixed the issue as this replaced the server name with
"FQDN.co.uk". All appears to be going smoothly now.

Thanks

Microsoft Word - problems using styles and templates

Microsoft Word - problems using styles and templates

problems using styles and templates

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 02:41 PM PST

I am editing chapters of a book. I have created a set of styles and saved them in a template with a custom name. The problem I'm having is when I need to either modify an existing style in the template or create a new one. I create or modify within the template and then Apply the revised template to an existing document using Options - Add-Ons - Template, open the template, check Automatically Update Document Styles, and click OK.  The changes that I've made to my template are not being applied to the active document. What am I missing?

Macro buttons in Word 2013

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 01:54 PM PST

Having recently changed from Word 2003 to Word 2013, I am in the process of transferring some of my customizations.   I have been using 21 macros with my own graphic button designs.  It appears that in Word 2013 one cannot design button graphics and must choose from a given set of pre-designed graphics, none of which relate to the macro functions.  Is this true, or am I missing something?  If true, it would be another poorly designed element of Word 2013.

Word app on iPad - how to return a document to online only

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 12:37 PM PST

I am generally very happy with the way Word app on iPad works in conjunction with One Drive.

My understanding of how it works is as follows:

Any document can be found through the Onedrive folder structure. Any document, once selected, will be downloaded and any updates made will be saved to OneDrive. In addition, any document so downloaded will continue to be available offline although, if accessed when online,  will of course be updated with any changes that have be made from any other of my devices. 

This could lead to a build up of the storage that needs to be held on the iPad as I have not yet identified a way of changing a document from "available offline" back to "available online only".

My question: Is there any way of making this change? 

I have to admit that this is not actually a problem for me as I have oodles of space on the iPad but I am interested simply from a knowledge point of view.

NUmbering with words

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 11:50 AM PST

Hi All,

I want to use numbering for a document which contains several headings. I manage to list the heading correctly using numbering options, however I would like to know whether it is possible to set the text at a defined distance after each numbering. I know that from define multilevel list yo can set up text indent, however that is the absolute text indent and there is no option to choose text indent after the number.

Also in the table of contents heading 2 and 3 shows up in the same column, therefore I would like to know why different heading do not appear shifted.

Office template download error

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 10:39 AM PST

This problem has been around since 2009 with no satisfactory response from Microsoft.  So here it is again!

First lets not come up with the old pap "Verify your copy of Office 7.  Been there done that.

Next lets not see download from the Office 7 site.  I did not pay to get that stuff!

finally, all the service packs are up to date and this computer came loaded with Office 7 so there are no trial copies.

Does anyone in Microsoft know how to solve this problem?  If not, say so!

Anchoring/locking a picture (logo) to the bottom right corner of a picture content control window

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 08:59 AM PST

I am trying to create a company template in which the user (a company employee) uploads a picture via a picture content control window displaying the picture along with my company logo superimposed in the bottom right corner of the picture. I have tried several different approaches, and read the support, and forums to no avail. The pictures are generally similar in size and square or rectangular in shape, but of course they vary in size and aspect ratio based on who crops the picture and the shape of the clients facility.

The Problem:

-When the picture automatically resizes, the logo image stays in its fixed position on the page (and thus is no longer superimposed in the bottom right corner). I can't anchor the logo to a specific position within the picture content control window that moves dynamically with the shape/size of the window.

What I would like:

-No matter the size (or shape) of the picture inserted via the content control, I want the image of my company logo to stay positioned in the bottom right corner.

-Furthermore, if possible, I would like the picture to automatically resize to fit the width of the content control window (retaining the original aspect ratio) rather than resizing the window to fit the picture (Currently, when the picture is smaller than the window, it shrinks and does not fill the page properly).

We produce many of these standard documents for our clients, including an aerial photo of the client's business. The goal is to create this document with as little formatting as possible required by the employee. To save time and avoid user error, I would simply like my employee to click in the picture window, select the appropriate client aerial, and boom; picture inserted, sized to fit the window, and logo positioned in the bottom right corner.

Please help me out if anyone knows how to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Slow Typing in Word for iPad

Posted: 14 Feb 2015 05:05 AM PST

Word for iPad seems to struggle with large files and typing lag. If I'm working in a small document there doesn't seem to be an issue but I'm working in a document roughly 30,000 words long and there can be a good ten seconds between hitting a key and the character appearing on-screen. It's not just that particular document either; it's any long document. I've tried resetting Word but that hasn't helped. Is there any fix for this? Otherwise I'll need to delete Word and go back to Pages which would be a major inconvenience.

Remove blank line on top of page

How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document?

How to get different page background colors for different sections of a Word document? Is it possible in Word 2013 to have multiple background colors?

If not possible in Word 2013, does there exist a workaround for it using a "picture" as a  background, as described here

saving macros to a safe template

Posted: 19 Aug 2008 01:24 AM PDT

Graham,

I suspect that corporate IT departments frequently replace the Normal.dot
for several reasons.

First, it's a cheaper and easier alternative to creating doent-specific
templates that carry the correct corporate look and feel. They reckon - and
rightly so in my experience - that most users will create the majority of
their doents from a blank doent. Of course, this means that there's a
risk that the users will do something with to the styles that's not in
keeping with the corporate standards (like Heading 1 set to bold, italic,
underlined, purple, 28 pt, MS Comic Sans, with ants - says the Voice of
Experience...). By simply rolling a new version of Normal these issues become
very short-lived, and usually after the third or fourth time of having their
customisations n away, most users just give up.

Second, the Normal is regularly used as a source of corporate standard
AutoText entries, and when these need to be updated (or to rectify or prevent
modification)... you get the picture. At least the company I'm contracting to
presently has the good sense to put AutoText into an add-in.

Finally, as I'm sure you're aware, the Normal template is - or at least has
been - extremely susceptible to corruption, and the usual solution is to
delete (or rename) the Normal and allow Word to rebuild it automatically. Of
course, most users have no clue as to what's going on when errors from a
corrupt Normal start popping up, so they ring the Help Desk. Periodically
rolling out a new Normal cuts down on these calls.

As for the OP's question, I think you've covered it. ;-P

attaching word template by reference

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 12:19 PM PST

I have a custom template that I've attached to a collection of documents. I have these files, including the template, checked into source control. I'm finding that the reference to the attached template does not follow the files when a second user checks out the documents and template from source control.

I.e. my coworker checks out the template and one of the documents. He edits the template to change Header 1 to color red. He opens the document and the Header 1 text is not red. The auto-update based on template is turned on. It is in fact referencing the original template that is stored in my folder on the network.

Can I create the documents so that they look in their own path for the template?

Word 2010 docx opens in non-edit mode and loses Baloons Always setting

Word 2010

I am working with an author editing his book.

When we send a file either way it opens requiring us to click on enable editing and then go change the tracking options setting to Balloons: Always.

This happens even though we have identical settings in Word Options.

There are no macros in the docx files, but there are in Normal.dotm on each machine, and Macros are enabled in Trust Center on both machines.

It is not hard to work around, but it shouldn't be doing this, and it wasn't doing this sometime back.  I assume some update changed things.

Document comparison

I have two Word documents.  I'm using Word for Mac 2011.

Each document is a a test of 1200 multiple-choice questions.  The second version is supposed to be a rearrangement of the questions, but they're written in a specific order, so they can't have a random arrangement. The organization that sent this wants a committee to compare one version against the second to ensure no typos have been made.

Is there a way to do this other than checking them one-at-a-time?  I don't think Track Changes is meant to work in this way.

Thank you very much,

Word 2010: Why don't documents scroll vertically in Print Layout view?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 10:55 AM PST

I have vertical scroll bars enabled in Word 2010.  Note that I am NOT asking about how to enable vertical scroll bars.

In Print Layout view with more than one page viewed at a time, dragging the vertical scroll bar does nothing except show a small page indicator as shown in the screenshot below.  In other words, when scrolling vertically with the scroll bar, the pages actually displayed in the document window do not change and I cannot quickly scan through the document nor see where I am scrolling to.  This is very annoying.  This does not happen in Draft view nor in Print Layout view when only one page is viewed at a time.

I've noticed that this Print Layout view problem occurs in previous versions of Word as well.  Can anyone confirm that this is a permanent "feature" in Word?  Is there any way to change this?  It seems completely pointless and similar document views in for example, Adobe Acrobat do not have this problem.  What is the rationale?  Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to create a table of authorities in a Word document which doesn't refer to page number, but instead refers to the hyperlinked section in which the authority is found, so that clicking on the section number takes the reader to the citation, or at least to the section in which the citation is found?  I've found this entry:   https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2003-word/reference-paragraph-numbers-in-a-table-of/bd301d9d-f453-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5  but the links discussed there are no longer valid.

Thanks!

Office 2013 for Windows 7 appears extremely blurry

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 08:07 AM PST

I recently downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 as part of a student bundle at my university. To do this, I had to uninstall my previous Microsoft Office 2010.  However, all of the new Office programs are extremely blurry. If I run my mouse over certain buttons, they may unblur for a second or two, but then distort again. All of the programs seem to function fine, but are very unusable in the sense that I can't see what I'm typing or clicking at all. This didn't effect my previous Office suite, nor the Wordpad that came with my laptop.

Below is a screenshot of Word. I had copied some filler bio text from a wiki-how site.

I put this topic as Microsoft Office Word, but the same effect is happening in all the office programs.

Text boxes automatically hyperlinked

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 07:40 AM PST

Hi guys, I tried my best to find an answer to this question somewhere so sorry if I missed it.

Basically, in Word 2010, when I make a new text box, the text is automatically formatted like a hyperlink (underlined and blue).  But I can't turn it off, because Word "knows" there's no real hyperlink there.  I tried just changing the color and format of the text, but no matter what I tell it, the text stays blue and underlined.  I tried adding a fake hyperlink and then removing it to see if that would help, but it didn't.  All I want out of life is to make a box of text that isn't blue or underlined.  What's going on?!  

Thank you.

Changing the name that displays for tracked changes?

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 03:42 AM PST

I turned on tracking and made changes to a document on one computer and now need to finish making changes with tracking turned on while using another computer. The problem is that the other computer is not mine and I want the tracked changes to display the same name, mine throughout the document. How can I change the name that displays for the tracked changes on the second computer so both the changes and colors for the changes are the same?

thanks.

word 2010 insufficient memory or disk space - tried all the fixes I can find

Posted: 13 Feb 2015 02:05 AM PST

I have a laptop running windows 8 and MS Office Professional 2010. From the very start when it is brand new is occasionally got the message "insufficient memory or disk space"  when trying to print from word. This is getting worse.  Deleting normal.dotm fixes it for a very short while then it occurs again.

I have removed  add-ins but the problem still occurred.  I tried doing a repair on Office 2010 but the problem still occurred. Yesterday I uninstalled Office and reinstalled it and the problem is even worse. At the moment I either need to delete normal every time I have done a print - or I have to save everything as a PDF fine if I want to print it. 

I have also done a full system scan with Norton 360 

Can anything suggest what the problem might be

Thanks 

 

Can't set default paragraph

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 10:09 PM PST

I had the default paragraph type for my document set as double line spacing, with the first line indented by 0.5". All of the sudden, it reverted to no indentation. I cannot get it to go back for the entire document. I actually clicked on "set as default" and chose "for all documents based on Normal template." What happened, and how do I make it go back?

Monospace fonts are not monospaced in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 05:25 PM PST

I am writing up some software documentation and am trying to use Courier New for the code parts to make them clear to read. I chose Courier New because it is a monospace font. However the results I am seeing are defiantly not monospace, and as a result it makes the code more difficult to read.

Why is Word doing this and how do I get it to stop?

I have a document that when I attempt to save it the save command switches to save as?   Why?   This is 32 bit MS Word 2013 on 64 bit Windows 7.

The document does contain embedded versions of MS WOrd and MS Excel files.

Microsoft Word crashes when try to open it

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:32 PM PST

Whenever I try to open microsoft word 2010 it will open fine but then a pop screen shows up and says "please wait while setup prepares necessary files" and then word crashes. None of the other office programs will open either. Although they don't open at all. They aren't like word. I have tried uninstalling office but it always says that the uninstall in incomplete so I can't just reinstall the software. I don't know why it won't uninstall. Is there any way to fix this issue so that I can at least open word without it crashing? Or is there some way to make my computer uninstall office?

Autocorrect on Word 2013

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 04:26 PM PST

Hey, 

I'm changing laptops soon. The last time I changed laptops, I lost my customized dictionary and customized autocorrect words. Even though I re-logged into my account on the other laptop, the autocorrect options that I applied on the last laptop did not sync. 

So what happens now, since I'm getting a new laptop? Do I have to go back and save EACH autocorrect word? Or is there a way to just sync those into my new laptop?

Also, can you please bring back the autocorrect option in the menu box (right click). It's really frustrating that each time I want to add a word in autocorrect I have to go to settings menu.

Thank you,

Alan

I want to link a multi page spreadsheet into Word, PLUS maintain formatting & sanity

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 03:56 PM PST

I have to create & print a new membership directory for my club. All the info is in an Excel 2007 file. My 1st choice would be to link the data in Excel to word. Alternatively, embed or copy the data. I have to get it into Word to use its more extensive formatting & more importantly, use the Page Setup features for booklet printing.

Here's what I have tried that didn't work:

Insert / Object / Text from File. After entering the Excel file I want copied into Word, I get an error dialog box message that reads "...cannot be opened because there are problems with the content. Details - the file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Clicking OK, the next box says "Word found unreadable content in file. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." When I click Yes, it circles back to the 1st message above. So I cancel out of that.

Next I try Insert / Object / Object / Create New / Object type & select Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet. This brings up a 10 line Blank Excel spreadsheet into Word. I can extend the sheet down to the bottom of page 1 but no further. How do I get the rest of the sheet on to pages 2, 3, 4, etc? It has also taken data from Excel that is 5" wide & squashed it down to 4.4" wide. Gerr!

Cut & Paste from the Excel sheet got it all into Word on multiple pages BUT screwed up the formatting.

Any ideas on how to make this work. I'm even willing to give up on the linking feature & just copy a mirror image into Word!

A very, very inelegant solution is to insert a new object page by page. ie rows 1-40 on page 1, 41-80 on page 2, etc, etc. Doing it this way makes moving around in the document extremely cumbersome while in Excel mode.

OneDrive and exporting an excel file or word file to create pdf

Posted: 12 Feb 2015 11:29 AM PST

I have a user who opens her OneDrive on C:\Users.......and opens one of her folders then either an excel file or word file and then if she tries to chose export to create pdf it will hang for a few minutes (you can see it creating a temp file in that folder) then it will pop up Internet Explorer to the Office 365 Login page.  If you then just click to save it ignoring the IE popup it some times will save the file as a pdf and other times will just hang.  I have tried to reproduce this on other machines and they all work fine IE never opens up.
