Microsoft Visio IDEF0 Activity Box Formatting Problem

I am not able to change the height off the IDEF0 Activity Box for my A-0 sheet. How can I fix this? If I need to use Shape Sheet editor, guidance on how to use Shape Sheet would be great. I want the height to be 2 inches. I would also like to know
how to change the height to any size if possible so that I have the option to try other sizes too.
I don't know how the internal shapes work but I think changing the top box height would provide a solution.
Thanks,
Dominic Meyer

Hi,
This issue might be caused by the Shape protection (It's a grouped shape and its vertical size is protected and set to the sum of two of the internal shapes.)
. Please see the below image:
Uncheck the height property.
If we want to change the size in "Shape Sheet", please try the following steps:
Select the Use Case shape.
On the Window menu, click Show Shapesheet.
Click the Height cell in the Shape Transform
section.
Remove the word GUARD in the Formula line (above the drawing page), and type the 2 in.
Hope it's helpful.

Visio 2013 startup problem "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio..."

Hello,
I am getting the "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visio Professional 2013" window on every load of this program. I have found no resolutions from Google searches. I have tried a full reinstall of Visio, registry modifications
(per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685120?wa=wsignin1.0), tried running it in safe mode (still happens), tried a clean boot (still happens). I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
Try the following method:
If you have an earlier version of Visio installed, such as Visio 2003 or Visio 2007 or Visio 2010, follow these steps:
1.In Windows 7 or Windows Vista, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then select Run.
In Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run.
2.Type the following command, and then press Enter:
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio\Options /v NoReReg /t REG_DWORD /d 1
3.(Optional) Instead of typing the command line, you can copy it to your clipboard, right-click an empty section of the Run box, select Paste, and then press Enter.
4.Verify that the problem is resolved.

Problem with activation of Formatted Searches

There seems to be an error in the activation of formatted searches in SAP B1.
The following is an example to demonstrate the real situation with a minimum of complexity.
1. We have defined 2 user defined fields, U_trigger and U_target, in the title area of documents. Both are defined as alphanumeric fields with standard length 10 and some predefined values.
2. For sales orders we have defined for UDF 'target' that a formatted search 'getTriggerValue' is activated on changes of UDF 'trigger'.
3. The formatted search 'getTriggerValue' reads the value of UDF 'trigger' and writes it to UDF 'target':
DECLARE @triggerValue AS nvarchar(10)
SET @triggerValue = $[ORDR.U_trigger]
SELECT @triggerValue
When we add a new document to the database, i.e. the document is in "button-mode" = 'add', there are no problems with the activation of the FS on field 'target' when the value of field 'trigger' is changed!
After a document is already written to the database and is later displayed on the screen again, the document is in "button-mode" = 'OK'. In this situation the FS on field 'target' IS NOT ACTIVATED when the value of field 'trigger' is changed, i.e. the value of 'trigger' is not copied to 'target'.
After this first change the document is now in "button-mode" = 'update'. If we now change the value of field 'trigger' a second time the FS on field 'target' is activated an the value is copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
If we define the FS of field 'target' with option 'Refresh Regularly' the FS is activated after the first change of field 'trigger' as expected.
But we CAN NOT USE THIS OPTION AS A STANDARD SOLUTION for our problem, since some fields and their FS can not work with this option and need the standard option 'Display Saved Values' set. Otherwise some fields yield wrong values, since they are working not only with constant predefined values as in the simple example above, but with dates which are set by GETDATE() in the FS, e.g.
Is this behaviour a bug of SAP (FS is not activated even if the value of the refresh field is changed)?
If not, what is the idea behind this behaviour?
And how can I get around this behaviour?
Thank you for your support!
Frank Romeni

Hello Suda!
Many thanks for your answer!
Perhaps my explanations are a bit in confusion.
The example in my question is just to demonstrate the behaviour of the formatted search with option 'Display Saved Values' set, i.e. in a document that is already saved to the database, only after the second change the formatted search is activated.
I am aware that with the simple formatted search that I have shown as an example everything works fine with the option 'Refresh Regularly'.
But what is the meaning to activate the formatted search only after the second change when option 'Display Saved Values' is set?
The reason why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly' is that in our real application not only constant values are copied from 'trigger' to 'target'.
Let me give you an example which approaches the real situation more than the first example:
DECLARE @trigger AS nvarchar(20)
SET @trigger = $[ORDR.U_trigger] -- U_trigger / UDF 'trigger'
DECLARE @save AS datetime
SET @save = $[ORDR.U_date] -- U_date / UDF 'date'; save current date
IF @trigger = 'getDate'
SELECT GETDATE()
ELSE IF @trigger = 'getDateConst'
SELECT '01.01.2008'
ELSE IF ...
ELSE
SELECT @save -- no value in @trigger to change date ==> reset
Option 'Display Saved Values' set: formatted search is activated only after the second change of value of UDF 'trigger'. This is not acceptable!
Option 'Refresh Regularly' set: Suppose the 'trigger' is set to 'getDate'. The actual date, e.g. 25.06.08, is displayed in UDF 'date'. The document is saved to database. When the document is fetched again on the next day, the formatted search is activated immediately without the change of any values, i.e. 'trigger' still is set to 'getDate'. This is evaluated in the formatted search and the function GETDATE() is called and the now actual date, 26.06.08, is written to UDF 'date'. This is wrong!
I hope that the new example shows why we can't use option 'Refresh Regularly'!
We need no regularly refreshed value of UDF 'date', we need an activation of the formatted search only when the value of UDF 'trigger' changes. But why is it activated only after the second change when 'Display Saved Values' is set?
Thank you for further support!

Website needs Microsoft Data Access - Active X Data Objects

I have a number of websites for work that are seem to be built around Internet Explorer. When I try to open them on my Mac at home with Safari, I get message that I pasted below.
I'm thinking this might be related to the fact that when I open them on a PC for the first time it shows a similar message, but Internet Explorer prompts me to download and run "Microsoft Data Access - Active X Data Objects", and then it runs fine.
Based on this I'm assuming it's a lack of these "objects" that are causing this problem. Is there any equivalent to these components for the Mac? Anything I can try to access these websites from my Mac? I've tried using Firefox as well, which has the exact same issue.
Right now I've got to fire up my 2006 PC laptop to use Internet Explorer every time I need access to these sites. I realize I could install windows on my Mac with bootcamp and restart in windows every time I need access, but that seems like a waste just to visit 2 websites. Any advice?

Hi,
Try this...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Enable the develop menu.
In the menu bar click Develop / User Agent.
Try IE 8, 7, or 6.
No guarantees but can't hurt to try. ActiveX requires Windows.........

Microsoft Visio Compatibility Pack?

I need to install Microsoft Visio Compatibility Pack which would allow me to view Visio 2013 file format in Visio 2010.
I have found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39640
According to System Requirements, this software can be installed in XP. But when I run the setup, I got this:
So, what is the solution to open Visio 2013 files in Visio 2010 (implying in XP, of course)?
Thanks

Please upgrade the latest update and run the setup again.
I have done so already. But that didn't make my Visio 2010 (viewer) to open VSDX files.
For the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844302/en-us
It says that Only Windows 7 or later versions of Windows
support the Visio Compatibility Pack.
Then the problem is the description in
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39640
Look at the image below that I captured from that page:

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.

but if the user click on "Open in Visio" OR "Open in Excel" links inside the browser, they will get the following errors:-

Visio 2013.
i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.

How convert Microsoft viso to JPEG Image format

Hi,
Can any one suggest me how to convert Microsoft Visio format to JPEG Image format in java.
Please write me back at [email protected]
Thanks,
Meraj

I believe that RAW is a generic term to mean image data that has not been processed (sharpened, compressed, saturated, etc.). RAW file formats are proprietary to the manufacturer; Nikon's RAW (NEF) is not in the same structure as Canon's RAW (CR2).

Copying text from InDesign to Word: formatting problems

Hi all,
I have copied a large amount of text from an InDesign CS4 document into Word. I am now having formatting problems. The main problem is that where long words run over two lines, they are not appearing as hyphenated, and I am not able to stop them running over two lines. Inserting the cursor at the start of the second part of such a word and deleting simply deletes the preceding letter on the line above, as if there were no line break.
Any help much appreciated.
Jon Cope

Instead of Copy/Paste, try selecting the text and exporting to .rtf (or if you have an active cursor, but no selection, theentire story will be exported). Open the .rtf in Word.

Visio 2013 Activation

I bought Visio 2013 Professional from our company account. We also have 2 Project 2013 Standard Licenses on the same. When I navigate to my products in my account and try to download Visio 2013 on the desired
computer, the hyperlink redirects me to download / installation of Project (which has already been downloaded and the license is in use on another company computer).
I even tried downloading a trial version and then activating the trail but it doesn't seem to work. The error message I get when trying to do this is "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Visio." It for some reason thinks
I do not own the product, which my account displays my product with a license key but the hyperlink doesn't allow me to download or install it because it redirects me to Project installation page.
Calling Microsoft Tech Support was the worst experience I have ever had. I was on call for over 2 hours being transferred from one department to another being told that it was "out of scope" for the person I was talking to, and then id eventually
get transferred back to the main menu.
We have spend SO much money on this product and cannot even use it. This is ridiculous! Also, talking about after sales customer service....i dont think it even exists.
I'd really appreciate help in resolving this issue ASAP. Its been two weeks and this is my last resort to get this sorted out so that we can finally use the product we paid so much money for.

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to troubleshoot this issue.
Would you like to share us your download page and link? And, please try this link to download:

Then, based on the error message, please the 2 workaround.
1. Don't activate the product using your account credentials. Just enter your product key manually to activate Office 2013 copy.
Open Control Panel and click on Programs and Features icon >Right Click on Microsoft Visio
>Enter a Product Key > Type your 25-characters product key and click on Continue button.
2. Use Phone activate

Windows To Go's activation is a problem

Windows To Go is a application on Windows 8 Ent, it can provide an easy way to use Windows 8 on any PCs and Macs, but I find that Windows To Go's activation is a problem. When I changed my device, it will aks me for re-active Windows... Is this a problem?

When key activation starts driving customers to Linux bootable USB environments Microsoft needs to seriously look at what it is doing wrong.
The activation tie to hardware profiles is outmoded and past its sell by date. Microsoft its time to move on or see your product being moved out.
Customers are sick and tired of activation hassle deploy LINUX for removable OS. Worrying trend is that the realisation that LINUX workstation is a very polished OS and usable is causing a reverse effect back into organisations
to Microsoft detriment. Mac OSX is also making inroads in this portable space as well.
Windows To Go is a great idea, badly implemented, practical for large organisations who can manage the Key infrastructure and absorb the Support Desk overhead it generates.
