No checkbox appears in dialong box to "use local drafts folder"

Using Windows 8.1, ,Word 2013, and IE 11. When I edit a document from SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Hosted), no checkbox appears in the Microsoft Internet Explorer dialog box to "use local drafts folder". As a result, no SharePoint
Drafts folder is created in the location specified under Word 2013 Save Option for offline editing and the SharePoint file is not downloaded locally. I performed the following troubshooting steps below with no fix so far.
1) Confirmed that "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is "enabled" as an add-on under IE.
2) Confirmed that Word 2013 Save setting for offline editing are marked as follows:
Save checked-out files to “The server drafts location on this computer”
Server draft location: \\users\xxxx\documents\SharePoint Drafts
3) Tried the SharePoint checkout and editing on a Windows 7, IE 11, Word 2010 workstation and there was no issue. Checkbox appears.
I've exhausted all resources. Please assist with providing next steps. Unable to load a Screen shot below due to account validation critieria.
Kind regards,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the “use local drafts folder”.
In Office 2013 it is by design.
The “Use my local drafts
folder” functionality has been removed for Office
2013.
This step has been done in order to improve the Client/Server communication by removing some of the redundant network calls generated by this process.
In order to get office files synchronized with SharePoint document libraries you could
use SkyDrive Pro instead.
SkyDrive Pro is getting installed with Office 2013 but is available as a standalone setup as well. But please note that SkyDrive Pro requires to have a SharePoint server
2013 installed or a O365 subscription, which brings SPO
2013.
If you want to use the “use my local drafts folder”, you should install the Office 2010 instead of Office 2013.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Missing "Use My Local Drafts Folder" Checkbox

We work with Office 2010 32 bit and SharePoint 2010. After we update the Lync to 2013 version, we find in SP at check out "Use My Local Drafts Folder" checkbox does not appear any more. I read this article
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27e03f00-7549-4ca9-8973-9620ce40a78c/no-checkbox-appears-in-dialong-box-to-use-local-drafts-folder?forum=sharepointadminprevious, it said The “Use my local drafts folder” functionality has
been removed for Office 2013. Actually we didn't install Word, Excel 2013.... But since Lync 2013 belongs to Office 2013 now, perhaps during install of Lync 2013 some office 2013 features or components have been also installed.
I need a workaround, because we don't plan to update to Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013. Can I uninstall some office 2013 components to active "Use My Local Drafts Folder" again?

I have found the solution. I uninstall the "Office Shared Features" and "Office Tools" from Lync 2013 and keep just Lync 2013 component. Then I have repaired the Office 2010. After that I see "My Local Drafts Folder"
again and Lync 2013 works also. Yeah :-)

Use my local drafts folder - Some Yes, Some No

Hello,
I have recently upgraded to MOSS 2007. When checking out a file some of my users get the prompt to use my local drafts folder and some do not. Does anyone know why not all users are getting this prompt?
Thank you,
Dan

Hi,
If the program that you want to use to edit the file is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you may see a message that asks if you want to work with the file as a local draft. If you want to work on a copy of the file on your hard disk, leave the “Use my local drafts folder” check box selected. If you want the draft copy to be stored on the server while it is checked out to you, clear the check box.
If you are checking out a file that was created by a program that isn't compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the Use my local drafts folder check box does not appear and you cannot work with the file offline
For more information about Check out file, please refer to: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101535701033.aspx

Error discarding checkout when 'Use my Local Draft folder' is checked

We are getting the error 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002)' when discarding checkouts in our production 2010 environment. Steps to repro are:
upload a file to a document library (OOB Shared Documents is fine)
check the document in the library view
Choose 'check out'
Check 'Use my local drafts folder' when prompted, if it is not checked by default
Once checked out, check the box again and choose 'discard check out'
After the browser hangs for a bit, we get the error above. We've reproed this on multiple machines, but mine is 64bit Windows 7 with IE 8.
Browsing to 'SharePoint Drafts' on the client machine confirms the file is present. I suspected UAC or Protected Mode, based on similar issues posted online about SP 2007. However, I've confirmed protected mode is off for this site, and it is
listed as 'Local Intranet', with the default settings for that zone.

Hi danroot,
Please send the screenshot of the error into the forum.
What is your Internet Explorer’s version? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
If you use 32 bit, try to use Internet Explorer 64 bit, then check the effect.
Which account did you use to log into the client and SharePoint site? Are they the same account?
Make sure the account who log into the client has enough permission the “SharePoint drafts” folder.
Try to use another account to log into the SharePoint site, check the effect.
Hope this is helpful.

SharePoint "Use my local drafts folder" not to be displayed

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent SharePoint from displaying “Use
my local drafts folder” dialog box and
disable this option on default so users won't be able to store files locally?

I see a similar thread here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f7e2ee0d-92ff-4bfe-95e7-1ba7b95514cc/disable-the-use-my-local-drafts-folder-option-in-sharepoint-2010-open-document-dialog-box?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
which mentions that You can not directly edit that dialog (it's an activex control client side). But you can set
group policy to modify the office client behavior

How do I find plus-boxes to use in a new project?

I'm fresh to using RoboHelp (RH X50.1 Build 606) as I start updating our support material.
Within the RoboHelp tutorials, in addition to those in the index, plus-boxes are used to collapse elements of the tutorial script (Opening a project is one example).
I want to use plus-boxes to segregate some of our Help narrative. However, when it comes to putting a new project together, I can't find the way to do this.
It seems strange that the RoboHelp tutorial itself uses plus-boxes in this way, but doesn't appear to provide users the same incredibly useful functionality.
Where should I look?
Do I need to consider an upgrade?
If so, which version of RoboHelp contains the function?
Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.
Mark Higgitt

Hi Mark and welcome to the RH community.
I believe you are referring to what are called Twisties. This feature has been built into the latest release (RoboHelp 8) but that doesn't mean you can't achieve the same affect in earlier versions. You may want to check out this link and this link over on Peter Grainge's site.
Read the RoboColum(n).

Slideshow captions appear to have boxes around them when viewed on mobile devices

Hi... I searched for this problem but couldn't find a reference - appologies if I didn't quite use the right search terms and it's already been answered.
I am having problems with a basic slideshow widget - when viewed on a PC (iMac in this instance) the image captions, counter and navigation buttons do NOT have any visible borders (I haven't stroked or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, view the same slideshow on an iPad, or iPhone and there appears to be boxes around the caption, counter and nav buttons. I would prefer there to be no visible box outlines.
The problem page can be viewed here (remember, fine on a PC, not fine on a mobile device)
http://mikehiggs.co.uk/musesite/case-studies.html
There are two slide shows on the page as I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.
The odd thing is, I used the same method on the Home Page slideshow at the top of the page and this is working fine.
If anyone can shed any light on this 'problem' I'd very much appreciate it - I have tried everything I know at this stage.
Thanks in advance of any help.
Addendum...
If I change the slideshow transitions from 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I would prefer the slideshow to slide.
Just thought this extra info may help diagnose the problem.

Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using certain HTML tags or font styles

Only when HW acceleration is on. Arabic characters appear as empty squares when using "italic" or "oblique" font styles or when using or html tags.
Try this code to replicate the problem
<pre>
مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Italic مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
Oblique مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف
i tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
em tag مشكلة ظهور المربعات الخالية بدل الحروف 
</pre>

After lots of research, I found the problem. The boxes (squares) show up whenever there is a font in the webpage that does not have Arabic within its Unicode range such as Times New Roman Italic or Oblique. Normally, Firefox will pick another font to display the characters but now, a newly introduced feature is interfering.
To fix the problem without turning off hardware acceleration.
Go to about:config
locate: gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading
which is True by default in FF4.0 Beta 10, and change it to False.
This is a bug that has to be fixed.

OK, I think you are trying to connect the printer wirelessly to your wireless router, right?
I think that is the way to go, so let's do that:
1. Restart the router by pulling its power cord momentarily. Let it restart.
2. On the front of the printer go to Setup > Wireless (or Netowrk, not sure) > Wireless Setup Wizard. Run the Wizard to connect your printer to your router.
3. After that, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
4. Finally re-add the printer with these instructions:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

How do I select a cell in a multicolumn list box and use scroll horizontal on th

From an event structure, how do I select a cell in a multicolumn list box and use scroll horizontal on the front panel at the same time. I can select a cell from the multicolumn in an event structure, but I cannot move the scroll bar on the front panel when the program is running.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm assuming you're referring to the scrollbar in the multicolumn listbox. What is your code doing when you select a cell? Can you please post your code so we can see the behavior you're describing? It's possible that you're blocking the event structure, as in performing some long operation in the event that's handling the cell selection. In this case the event structure has to wait until the event completes before being able to respond to the next event. You can configure the event to not lock the front panel while waiting for the event to complete.
