Managing Word Templates in Organization on a network location

Hi
We use Word 2013 and started to use corporate templates
currently, our templates are located on our SharePoint Online, which means they're on the web, though most of the users have the template directory synced offline to their local drive with OneDrive for business so choosing and opening templates
is very easy and friendly.
The problem
when someone finished to create a document and want to send it to someone who's not in the corporate network, or even worse, to an external user - their word hangs on the file opening and causes word a massive delay.
we saw that as a workaround, if the document creator "Divorces" the document from its original template via "Developer >Document Template" and then he send it - the document open smoothly.
I'm sure it shouldn't be that difficult. we don't need to start educate users to change all their documents' template back to normal
I don't mind loosing the ability to have the documents update according to their template if something will change on the template in the future.
we just need the templates as a format starter when creating new documents
The Question
what should be the best way to work with templates on a web \ network location that aren't necessary available on the receiver's side?
thanks
Tamir Levy

What you describe is the standard behavior of a document which has lost its template. It is relatively simple include an intercept macro in your templates that attaches documents to the normal template upon the document being saved. Otherwise, you could
provide a macro that does this and attach it to an icon on the QAT.
Be aware that you do not want such documents set to update styles from the template automatically.
What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting?

How to move all files in Organizer to a network location

I have a fairly large catalog with about 20 album categories, each with between 5 and 15 albums, totalling about 20,000 photos, all currently residing on my laptop. I need to move everything to a networked drive but can't find how in the Elements help system. Is there a quick and easy way to do this?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

If you have a complex folder structure, it may be best to do the backup/restore as this gives you the option of recreating the same folder structure at the destination location. If folder structure is no concern (that all files can just go to a single folder because you are using Albums instead), then the File > Copy/Move to Removable Drive command would be easiest. Just select the Move option and then choose your Network drive as the Destination Drive, use the Browse button to move the files to a specific folder on that drive.

Word template with web service - style and font not considered

Hi experts.
I'm using a word template with a web services.
So i've added my xml tags in the template and i've tried to change the font and style but when i launch the document, what i have defined is never considered. For example if i set in a table that a line should be in Italic, when i edit the document no text is in italic ?
Did you ever faced this kind of issue ?
How did you manage to set you style to the xml tags ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I also had similar problems but I didn't work on word template for quite a long time. But at that time I solved the problem with formating the word and not the xml tag directly.
For example: I wrote the word lastname and formated it to for exampe, bold and italic like lastname. After thet I selected the word and applied the xml tag to that word and this worked just fine.
Regards.

Word Templates for Office:mac

I am trying to locate the Legal templates for MS word that are compatable with Office:mac.
My search of the Microsoft downloads website came up with nothing. In fact the few templates I found were more along the lines of novelties rather than the full blown templates downloads.
Does anyone know where the legal Pleadings/Forms templates are found? I am particularly interested in where the case-builder programs are.
Thanks,
Doug

MS Word templates are usable on both platforms Windows and Macintosh.
For example I downloaded the Pleadings form located here;
Pleading form with 32 lines
after expanding the form with Stuffit Expander it opened right up in Word for Mac.
When you first hit the download button you will see another page that tells you your system isn't compatible. It isn't talking about the template, it is talking about the Windows BS built into the MS website for automatic downloading. Just hit the download button on that page and your file will download in the Safari Download manager.

Solution Manager Document templates

Hello Solution Manager Experts.
When creating word templates for document types we would like word to collect information automatically from Solution Manager. One example is the template for Process step description. When the user navigates to a business process and adds a new document this document should automatically be filled with the correct data from Solution Manager according to the template. In this example this could be:
     Name of the user
     Business Scenario
     Business process
     Business process step
     Priority
     Keywords
     Etc.
The question is if there is any way of producing this kind of templates?
If the answer is yes, does anyone have templates to share?

Manage-bde command is not generating recovery key on network location

Hi,
I am trying to save the recovery key to the network share location and start up key in the USB drive while enabling bit locker.When the OS drive gets encrypted, the default folder for recovery password shows that it contains 1 file but not getting anything
inside it when i checked the properties of the folder.
i have already changed the group policy as "choose default folder for recovery password".
I am using the command to enable the bit-locker as "manage-bde.exe -on C: -rk
<network location to save recovery key> -sk <location of the USB drive>
-rp to enable the bit-locker. It is generating the start up key in the USB but not the recovery key on network share.
Can anyone suggest what i am missing or what else i should do to generate the recovery key on network share.
Does manage-bde process be able to save the recovery key on network share or it hand over to some other process to perform this task.
Thanks
Gaurav Ranjan

I got you Manoj, but I want to ask you one think that what if i lost the startup key or my USB stick. I have my recovery key on the network share. In order to log-in my machine I need the recovery password. From where i will get the recovery
password(48 digit). Surely from the recovery key on the network share. So how can i get the recovery password if only we have the recovery key.
I know both are different in context. Both are two different thing. I have lost my USB stick along with the recovery password and I have to log-in my machine. How can i do that i want to know that. Do there is any method to get recovery password from the
recovery key on network share. I have retrieved the recovery password when the recovery key in AD. But this time it is on network share.
Also one think which I need to solve is that the manage-bde -protectors -add command creates a new .bek file along with the older one. So the .bek file which get shown at the time of the start up of the machine is different from that stored in the network.
So i am getting confused as which .bek file is for which machine and hard to retrieve the password.
Is there any method to store recovery key on network without the -protectors -add command line so that both the .bek file should be matched and can easily be known for indiviual machine in an OU. As if both the .bek files will be different it would be difficult
to to retrieve the recovery password for the machines.
Please do inform if you need some more information about the scenario if i missed something.
Thanks

Word templates with Macros

Dear all,
I have a couple of Word templates (in document libraries) that should have the filename and page count on the footer of the front page. It seams there is an issue with Word that these do not automatically update (MS kb 832897).
I am using word 2010, 64 bits.
This is solved with a Macro.
When placing the word with macro template in SharePoint, SP blocks it and the macros are not ran.
Any one with experience on this?
Thanks in advance.
Gonçalo

It is not possible to run a macro in SharePoint after the document has been uploaded.
You can replicate this scenario by creating a SPItemEventReceiver which will run customized code on ItemAdded in your document library.
Please go through the following articles for details:

How to use the Report Generation Toolkit to get a list of bookmarks in a Word Template

I am working on a project where I will need to use the Report Generation Toolkit to fill out a fairly long Word Template. The MS Office Report Express VI can only have inputs for a maximum of 17 bookmarks which is not nearly enough for what I am needing to do.
I'm wondering if there is some way to use the lower level report generation VIs to read the word template and return a list of the bookmark names as a 1d array of string. The dialog box that you use to set up the Express VI has this capability but I'm not finding a way to scan the document programatically.
I'm sure I can't be the first person to run into this issue and I'm hoping that someone out there has found a good solution.
Solved!

Wordsub.llb should be somewhere in your Labview folder on your local drive. The path to it in my install is: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
Also what specific problem are you referring to about 17 bookmarks? Is that the limit on the express style VI for filling them in from LV? If so what you will need to do is to use the lower level function 'Word Insert Field' under Word Advanced VIs. You will need to supply the VI the name of the bookmark and the text you want to insert.

Saving only a portion of a Microsoft Word template into a new document using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

I have a Microsoft Word template I want to populate programmatically with test data. The template contains both explanatory text and a data sheet section with test data placeholders (bookmarks). Using the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, I have been able to successfully populate the placeholders with data and save the results into a new Microsoft Word document. The problem is the new Word document contains not only the test data but also the explanatory text that was in the original document template. Ideally, I would like to have the generated document contain just the test data without the accompanying text. Is it possible to do this usi
ng the Report Generation Toolkit?

Hello Ryan,
Two easy options come to mind.
1. You may want to consider using an �ink annotation� instead of regular text for your explanation.
2. You can programmatically do a find and replace on the explanatory text. Have LabVIEW find the whole paragraph, and replace it with nothing.
If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please reply with comments or answers to the discussion above and any additional information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

Report Generation - Word Template

Hi,
I am trying to write a program that captures up to 873 different scope shots.
At the end, the program will generate a Word Report with all scope shots and measured parameters.
I have used the Word Template in the past and created field for each parameters. However, this approach will not be efficient with this complex test. The report format of each test is shown below with the read box indicating the field where data will be plugged in by LabVIEW.
To create the word template for entire tests can create unnecessary post processing to delete the part of the test that user didn't run. If user ran only 3 tests then he would have to delete other 870 templates which will not be cost efficient. Also, this could create unnecessary programming mess that is not very flexible.
My questions -- is there any way I can copy this template below as I run the test? Rather than creating a word template for 873 different test for which I may only run part of it, can I copy the template based on number of test that user would like to run?
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chetna

Example of the scope data figure:
Figure Error! No text of specified style in document.‑1. □
1. □
2. □
3. □
4. □
Test Conditions:Vin=□V, Vout=□V: □A Temp=□C Mode=□Fs=□Serial #=□

Hi Vivek,
I have LabVIEW 8.5 Development version and the report generation tool kit. I will be writing VI to fill the data in and generate a word report with Up to 873 different tests. The template that I attached is the sample template for only one test, I will be doing 873 tests. The sample test template consists of scope shot and some measured parameters.
My situation - the VI that I will be writing will fill in the sample template that I attached for 873 times. For me to generate a word report for all tests, I would have to create a report template with 873 sample templates. Where there is a red box, I would have to create a field for each box so the LabVIEW will know where to put the data in.
Well, that is lot of work in the first place. Secondly, to keep up with 873 different permuation fields can create lot of unnecessary programming mess. Lastly, if the user decide to run only part of the test, then there would be lot of empty test templates. If user decide to run only 10 tests the final report will have 860 empty boxes. That is not efficient.
My goal is to create the word report using just one sample template rather than 873. I would like to copy the sample template based on number of tests user defines.
My question is- Is there any way to copy the sample test template that I attached using the report generation toolkit?

XML Publisher/Bi Publisher Using Oracle Package and MS Word Template builde

My Question is I want to know more about grouping of elements while creating reports in E business suite.
my approach should be 1. pl sql package with embedded XML data to create xml output. 2. Formatting the xml output using ms word template builder plugin.
My question is if grouping is required, then where should it be? While creating package to generate xml output or while formatting xml o/p in ms word?
I wanted to create a check cancellation report where the report should look like below.
Bank Name American express
Bank address 1 Cape town city Road
bank address 2 Lane 2
Bank City Cape town
Branch Docara v'dola
Check number Amount Vendor Status
1023423 225 huawei Voided
1023430 500 Ericson Voided
Signature
Now for above grouping I Written some thing like below package:
But I want to know Had I not done the grouping in Package, would it have still be possible to do the grouping in MS Word template builder?
To simply fy question: If I had not written 2 cursors and written 1 simple cursor and had got simple 1 after 1 fields without any specific grouping in ora package, would it have been possible to do the same grouping while formatting the xml output in MS word template builder?

Hi,
You can do grouping in either place. But ideally to avoid re-grouping in the BI Publisher Template your XML would be generated such that it is appropriate for your template.
This is really important when it comes to very large datasets as you should avoid regrouping in the template in this case.

Hi,
Interop is not supported on a Server or with in a services.
But if you want to this, you have to set up the Environment. I follow this Guideline with my Word and I'm able to start Word on a Server.
1) Goto Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services
2) Expand Tree by clicking on Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config
3) Search CLSId 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 (which is for Word 97-2003 application)
4) By selecting 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 this CLSId now right click on Properties
5) In the Propeties area, click on Security TAB
6) Select Customize option from all (Launch and Activations Permissions, Access Pemissions, Configuration Permissions)
7) Take the User of the Services and Allow all permissions for this user
8) Go to Identity TAB in the same properties area, select option as a This user and then add username (the user must be administrator of this machine) and password. Click on Apply, Ok
Locale Profile: True
9) Refresh Component Services and check your application is working fine or not.
10) set Folder, if not present:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Server based Office 2013 - where do I save word templates on the server for all users to access from "New"?

Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm used to working with stand alone desktop MS Office products.
We have a server connected to six desktop work stations. All stations have access to Microsoft Office 2013 on the server, and the printer is linked through
the server.
Users are currently accessing Word doc Documents on the shared (p) drive as templates, and then saving them with relevant file names to their area on the
(p).
Surely there is a way to save Word templates to the server, so that when someone clicks on "New" in Word our own templates are also offered automatically?
Thanks
Mark

If
anyone knows the address
for where Microsoft stores the main default templates - then that would
be really useful? It would also allow us to get rid of the numerous templates that we would never use.
Thanks :)

Creating Activities in CRM using Word Templates and Web Services??

Hi,
This functionality can be achieved through Adobe Interactive Forms from what I have learnt through demos etc. We are checking the feasibility of using with Word Templates instead.
This thread has multiple questions:
We are trying to set up the activity creation as mentioned in the CRM70 system.
1) At this point, finished the retrieval of information from the CRM Activity into a Word Template using a READ Web Service. Subsequently synchronized this with outlook and can see the Word document in the outlook item. Not able to open the same in Outlook, since it comes over as a XML document type. "Cannot open as there is a problem with the contents. ">" expected, line so and so...is the message
2) I created a Web Service that writes as well into CRM and would like to use this from the Word Template to create the activity in CRM
2a) Can the word template be incorporated with buttons that can trigger creation in CRM, similar to Adobe "Execute" etc
2b) If yes, and If there are some custom fields that I add to the activity transaction, in the UI, can I populate these with input from the Word Template, as well
Regards,
Ashwin

Hell Wregs,
You can create the Product in CRM GUI,by using Transaction:COMMPR01,not mandatory to have WebUI..,
but b4 that you need to set up Product Hierarchy and Product category under which the Products can be created.
Use Transaction:COMM_HIERARCHY Transaction to do this.
Hope this helps
let me know if any further questions
Thanks & Regards

ITunes Media folder organization on a network drive

I have a problem with a strange behaviour of iTunes media folder organization on my network drive.
Option "keep iTunes Media folder organized" is enabled.
If the Media folder is on a local drive or the Media folder is replaced by an alias pointing to a folder on an external drive it works correctly.
(Correctly means subfolders like "music" are generated by iTunes.)
But if the Media folder is an alias that points to a networkdrive directly (instead of pointing to a folder in that drive) iTunes does not create the subfolders anymore.
What is the reason for that behaviour, how can it be fixed?

Thanks for the feedback, but with the iPhone (I use the calendar feature a lot), synchronising just became a very common event, and perpetual re-connecting will drive me insane.
I guess I will just live with what we have until the folks at Apple figure it out;
