Manually changing a document version number when importing an existing document

Hello.
Like a lot of people, we are starting to make use of Sharepoint Online as part of an Office 365 subscription.
One of the things we want to do is move a bunch of version controlled documents from their current location on a traditional network file share into a Sharepoint Document library, and then use approval and version history to control and track changes.
At the moment these are stored with the version number as part of the file name, so we have something like "Company car policy - version 6.docx". When there's a new version, the old one is moved to an archive folder and a new copy is saved as "Version
7.docx" which is outdated and far from ideal.
I've created my library, tested that approvals work, and have found instructions on how to use a workflow to notify people that changes have been made. That's all fine, but if I upload an existing document into the library it will start the version number
at 0.1 or 1.0 depending on whether I add it as a draft or final.
What I need to be able to do is to manually change the version number to match our existing system without having someone sit there checking a document in and out. Some of them have version numbers in the 20s so this would be a huge waste of time.
I can't believe I'm the first person to have this problem - can anyone help me please?

You are not the only one, that is for sure!
The only way (that I'm aware of and is easy to accomplish) to achieve this is the following:
* Upload your history v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6. And then it is really in sync with your current / old version numbers.
* just upload the new / latest file and check out/check in the file x times so the version number will increase every check in.
I know that this sounds weird/funny time consuming. Without 3th party tooling I don't see any other solution.
With 3th party tooling then you can perform those actions (basicaly the same actions) more quick and easy, however you need to get yourself comfortable which such tooling. One of the tools (no I'm not a sales agent or whatsover) that I know can perform metadata
changes is ShareGate. However in PowerShell you can perform also a lot of magic and without ad doubt there are a lot of migrating tools (AvePoint, Tzunami, etc) that can also "mimick" those manual steps.
My best suggestion is:
* If you need to keep the old versions upload them all one by one (if it is not too time consuming)
Otherwise
* create a archive for old versions and start in SharePoint with version 1 which is exactly the same as the latest non-SharePoint version and store that archive in a separate document library/folder/site. (only keep old versions if there is a reall need
/business case or legal case to do that.)

I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version). When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working. And then the program crashes. Please help.
My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to the Adobe forums.
Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.

Vinay

Formats not retained when importing into 'other' documents

When I import a word document or pdf document or any document that I want to store in one of the categories e.g. research or other, the document's formatting and layout is completely lost.
Why is this?
Are there any fixes for this?
If not, is it on the 'road map' and when?

Took suggestion and tried pasting.
No, doesn't retain all formatting. Paragraphs and bullets are OK, but Tables and Indenting and Font size and type are lost. I expect any shading and anything else like that wouldn't come across either. A virtual plain text translation is what you end up with.
Makes it difficult to insert scanned or pdf docs that can be part of your research for example.
OK...let's know when formatting and layout do get on roadmap.
Thanks Sunny

ORA-01722: Invalid number when importing .csv file

Hi,
I did not find any information regarding my specific problem until now.
I try to import a *.csv file containing id, double, double, double, double, double (e.g. as a sample line "id_1, 674,6703459157907, 4212,205538937771, 674,6703459158016, 5561,546230769363, 2714,6367797576822") into a table with the following definition:

I am doing it with the help of the importer tool in the SQLDeveloper, by doing a right-click onto the table and selecting import data. In the assistant everything seem to be fine, even the data preview.
But when I try to import, I get an error: "ORA-01722: Invalid number" and a couple of failure windows appear. These windows display a NullPointerException:
java.lang.NullPointerException

--Zeile 2
As one can see, the numbers are quoted ('). If I delete the quotes by hand, the insert statement works correctly.
What can I do, so that the import tool does not quote the numbers?
Deleting the quotes with the help of a regular expression is not workaround, since a lot of error windows appear, which needs to be closed by hand...
Thanks in advance,

The chinese signs looks different in the original document compare to when imported in FM

I am using Framemaker 7.2 in Microsoft Office and I am trying to import chinese signs into a document but the signs looks different in the original compare to the FM document. The original document is a Word-file with format Arial Unicode MS and when I import that file it doesn't matter whether I choose to import by "Reformat Using Current Document's Formats" or by "Retain Sourse's Formatting", the signs looks different. Does anyone know how I should do it?

FrameMaker does support Chinese (and Japanese and Korean) for years, but I am not sure how capable the Word Import is.
Your message is unclear to me if the Chinese glyphs just look different (like: FrameMaker uses a different font) or are different (like: This seems to be Chinese but the signs are completely different).
The first can be handled by making sure the same font is selected.
In case of the latter: Make sure you have that Word document in RTF form, you will see far better results then. It also might make a difference if the document is saved to RTF on a Chinese or a Western system, you might want to try both if possible.

CS3 and lightroom raw converters change colour of 5D files when importing.

The problem is that lightroom and CS3 systematically go through raw 5D..CR2 photos and change colours, even when set to "as shot". I think part of the problem is that i upped the saturation in camera, and the raw converters have been stripping this away to desaturate colours... but in doing this they have taken too much away and left photos very desaturated and looking nothing like colours that were actually there.
I have taken some with all settings on camera default, yet still there is a slight but noticable shift in colour.
anyone shed any light on this, or had similar experience.
Ali.
P.s. Using vista, but same on windows XP.

>I think part of the problem is that i upped the saturation in camera, and the raw converters have been stripping this away to desaturate colours
The main problem is that you don't understand what a raw file is...the ONLY raw converter that can read settings set on the camera (other than exposure and ISO) are those that use the camera SDKin your case, DPP. A raw file has no real rendering and the raw converter must give it one. What you are seeing change is the difference between the Canon SDK and the Camera Raw default. And note that the Camera Raw "default" is just that, a default rendering. If you don't like it, you can change it and make the changes based on camera serial number and capture ISO as well.
What you need to do is forget the camera settings (except exposure and ISO) and concentrate on learning how to use Camera Raw to get the renderings you want...

Xcelsius messes up links when importing Excel source document

I am creating a dashboard using an Excel doc as my master source. Because the dashboard data is all over my network, I have a master excel doc that has cell values that are links to cells in three other excel spreadsheets on my network. When I import the spreadsheet into Xcelsius, it says the links are wrong. I click the "Change Source" button and notice the links point to my hard drive (c:\agency\agency production\2008 production.xls) instead of the where the link should be (o:\agency\agency production\2008 production.xls). The master excel spreadsheet has all the links correctly going to our network drives.
I've tried recreating the master spreadsheet
breaking the links and recreating
Using FQDN names for the links instead of drive letters
I always get the same error.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Chris,
I'm actually trying to get one master excel spreadsheet to link to several smaller source files. I've created all the references to the E:\ drive on our server, but when I import the model in Xcelsius the charts are all blank. This leads me to believe that Xcelsius can't work with linked excel spreadsheets. Were you ever able to get this to work?
Thanks!

How do I change the Song Name syntax when Importing a CD?

I would like to have iTunes use the following Song Name syntax when I import a CD:
Artist Name - Song Name
I cannot find where I can change this within iTunes preferences... Any advise or guidance would greatly be appreciated.
BTW, I am using iTunes 6.0.1.3...

If you are wondering how to change the title of the song I can help you.
1. Right click on any song that you would like to name or rename
2. Click on the option "Get Info"
3. Once you've clicked, 5 options will appear on the top of the window, choose "Info"
4.Looking into the window now you will be able to change the name of the song and the artist.
I hope I answered your question

Pie chart created in edge animate changes to a square animation when imported into dps

I Have created an animated pie chart in edge animate and all works fine.
I then import into indesign and again all looks fine (even though at this stage it is a flat image) but when i export for dps and preview folio etc the animation turns from a circle to a square.
Anyone have any pointers or experinced the same problem etc?
Cheers

The top image is a screen shot from edge and what it should be like, and the bottom image is of when you preview it in dps
Also when i view this in browser via edge animate and then preview it seems fine and as you can see on the bottom image when i import the oam into indesign again it is fine but then when I come to preview my 'folio it turns the animation from a circle into a square.
Also if its any help, the animation works perfectly if exported by epubs and viewed through ibooks.
Thanks,

Wants to change BPEL Process Version Number while compiling

When I build the process via Jdeveloper, It creates the jar file with the name of *BPELProcess11 v201109_17__42581.jar* .But my requirement is each and everytime I compile the process Its name should be like this BPELProcess11_v1.jar. I have changed the build.properties file but still unable to find the solution even change the *.jar file.
Thanks

Hi',
I doubt if this is possible, Still Gurus can confirm this.
Right click on your project > Project Properties > Deployment
Deployment Profiles > <project-name>(SOA-SAR File) > click EDIT > General.
This is where your .jar file name gets created, I doubt if this can be modified, or if there is a way to edit this.
