Office 2010 Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty
How do you do this in office 2010? Where do we go now?
This used to be under the Tools menu in previous versions:
On the Tools menu, click Mail Merge.
In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, click Merge.
NOTE: You must select the main document and data source for the merge before doing step 2.
In the Merge dialog box, under When Merging Records, click either:
Don't print blank lines when data fields are empty.
-or-
Print blank lines when data fields are empty.
Click Close in the Merge dialog box, and then click
Close in the Mail Merge Helper.
NOTE: If you made no changes in the Merge dialog box, the
Close button is not available. Click Cancel instead.

Blank or null date fields are displaying 1/1/1901
I have optional date fields that users may leave blank. When they do, the result is that my report is printing 1/1/1901 (which I am guessing is a default setting somewhere in the options???) Can anyone point me in the right direction so that if the field is null, the "text string" & doesn't print?
Here's the formula, maybe it's a fundamental problem with the way I've done the formula:
if totext({Command.SHIPDATE}) = ""
then ""
else "Needed by: " & {Command.SHIPDATE}
Any help is greatly appreciated.Is SHIPDATE a date type or text field? I an presuming a text field based on your example. If the date is defaulting to 1/1/1901, I am guessing that is a function of your database server rather than Crystal Reports. So I would alter your code to say:
if totext({Command.SHIPDATE}) = "1/1/1901"
then ""
else "Needed by: " & {Command.SHIPDATE}

Who notes you could also put the text and data object directly in the report and use a suppression formula instead of a report object formula... -
Office 2010 - "Word cannot print, there is no printer installed"
Hi All,
Been having a problem recently on many PC's at a site where they run Windows 7 x64 with Office 2010 x86.
Printing usually happens with no issue, however sometimes when they click the print icon, (in the 'file-->print' section) it will display 'word cannot print, there is no printer installed'.
The client tells me they can go to control panel and print a test page successfully, but word/excel will not print. In order to resolve the issue they close the program, reopen it and printing works straight away. Today I asked them to restart the print
spooler, instead of closing/reopening word, this did not resolve the issue. closing and reopening did fix the issue.
So far they have experienced the issue with Word and Excel only, however they don't use the other programs a great deal.
The printers are distributed with group policy. In addition to network printers they use PDF Factory (which is like PDF Creator).
I have been unable to reproduce the issue.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thank you!Hi,
From your description , I understand that you got message ”word cannot print, there is no printer installed” when clicked the print icon.
If you do not have a default printer, use the Add Printer Wizard to install one.
Follow these steps:
Click Start and then click Devices and Printers.
Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer, and then follow the instructions to install your default printer driver.
Note If your printer model is not listed in the Manufacturers and Printers lists, see the Hardware
Compatibility List (HCL) for an updated driver. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx
If your printer is not on the HCL, contact the printer manufacturer for drivers and instructions.
Sincerely,

I just updated Firefox but can't get it to display the message when a pop-up is blocked. Most times I want them blocked but sometimes I need them enabled.
You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. -
How to make a subform not print if the fields are empty
I'm once again working on that kind of client form where our agents fill in a bunch of fields on our forms and I only want those fields that are pertinent to that client to print out and I've grouped the fields that go together into separate subforms.
There are date fields and currency fields that relayout to floating fields in hidden blocks of text that appear when the last text field is exited, ie:
Subform1 "On 5/14/12 your application was approved. We will pay $100 to your account"
Subform2 "On 5/14/12 we received your application. We will need further information before you claim for $250 can be approved" etc. Obviously, both of these subforms cannot appear on the letter.
Jono gave me a great solution for not printing checkboxes that are not checked with a preprint script which worked perfectly and I tried to adapt that to the subforms but alas my skills are lacking. I tried just putting it in each fill in field but then the blocks of text still remained.
So basically I don't want the subforms that have empty fields to print.
I'd appreciate any help that can be offered.Hi,
I think that the logic/script should be placed in the area where the user either approves or rejects the claim. This would avoid a prePrint script to check if fields are empty or not.
If you are stuck with checking if fields are empty on prePrint, then you would just need to check the relevant fields one at a time or use a loop.
Hope that helps,

Date fields are showing as / / in DSO for blank dates or no dates
We are loading flat file data to DSO and the date fields are showing as / / in DSO for blank dates or no dates in the flat file source system. We don't want to see this / / and instead of this, we would want to this field in DSO to be in blank. Please help how to achieve this. Is there any way to do this transformation. If yes, then can you please provide the sample coding.
Advance Thanks,
ChristyI have added the code and data loading is successful. while DSO activation, it is failing. The error message is,
Value '#' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces.
It seems that we need to change the code. Can you provide me the corrected code please. Thanks.

Printing blank lines in IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 differs
We have Credit Reports that are put in Iframe (and hidden fields) and when the users checks which ones they want to print, we take the hidden fields an populate one Iframe to print them all from.
Problem is, IE 8 prints fine, IE 9 removes many of the blank lines that used to be there and IE 10 pretty much removes all blank lines. IE 11 seems to work ok though.
While IE 8 is being deprecated, IE 9 & 10 are still our majority users and am I trying to find a solution for them.
Is there something other than an iframe I should be using?
Here is the code:
for(count=0; count <= intCounter; count++)
vartabChecked = $get(printTab[count]);
if(tabChecked.checked ==
true)
varhdnPrintFieldName =
"hdnPrintFieldName"+
count;
vardoc = document.getElementById(hdnPrintFieldName);
appendReports = appendReports + doc.value;
varprintDoc = appendReports;
parent.iframeprint.document.open();
parent.iframeprint.document.write(printDoc);
parent.iframeprint.document.close();
parent.iframeprint.focus();
parent.iframeprint.print();
The report even looks different in the presented iframe (tabbed) in the various IE versions, though sometimes not exactly the same as the printed version in the same IE.
CliffHi,
IE8 doesn't understand textNodes that are white space. the firstChild property is affected by any white space preceeding the Node.
use
<br/>
instead of
the above is a blank line.. (white space).
ensure that your external stylesheet links have a media attribute. Normally one would use a print only stylesheet (media='print') to show/hide visual elements when printing.
eg.
@media='print'{
#divCopyright{
display:block;visibility:visible;}
@media='screen'{
#divCopyright{
display:none;visibility:hidden;}

When we install CU KB2837583 for Office 2010 Professional Plus I get an error on the document information panel in Word while saving the document to SharePoint 2010.
The error shows a red border around the multiple lines field "Adres" saying that the field contains errors.
We had this issue before with CU
KB2760758, this was a bug and Microsoft has fixed this with Service Pack 2. Now we have the same issue again with this cumulative update.
Microsoft knows this bug and
is working on a solution?Hi,
As the error message, please try the workaround:
Uninstall the KB2826026 update patch.

Microsoft Office 2010 won't print on Win 8
Hello techwizes!
My Microsoft Office 2010 stopped printing on windows 8. Network Brother printer connected, online and printing from websites etc.
Suddenly it stopped printing from any Office software. Tried to remove and re-install the printer, no good.
I'd appreciate any advise!!!
Thanks in advanceHi,
Had you tried to repair Office( Select Control Panel > Click on Programs and Features > Search for Office > Click Change > Choose Repair)?
If the issue still exits, please try the following methods:
1. If Office 2010 detects there is a problem with a printer, some printing features or the printer may be disabled. In this case, you cannot use the disabled printers to print documents anymore.
To prevent Office 2010 from disabling printers, set the DisablePrintFeaturesOnCrash registry entry.
More reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983035/en-us
2. If you can connect the PC and printer through USB, please try:
a) Click Printer Properties / Advanced / Print directly to the printer
2) Remove the printer from the system (open the Printers control panel, right click on the printer, choose Remove). Then unplug the USB and plugit back in. Windows detected the new hardware, installed the driver.

Delete blank lines when downloading to excel from CL_GUI_ALV_TREE
Hi Experts
I have developed a report using the class CL_GUI_ALV_TREE. If the user wants to download it into local machine in the excel format, he is going to the print preview and downloadn through Syste --> LIst --> Save --> Local File.
But in the excel file there are few blank lines after each node. Now my client wants to excluding of those blank lines while downloading the file into excel. Is there any method to achieve this.
Please advice me if there is any solution.
Thanks in advance
PraveenHi Praveen,
We cannot do any thing if the user download the file by that selection,
Disable the download option from the toolbar and you provide a download button on the toolbar. as the user clicks the button the delete the black entries from the table and download it using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

On Upgrade (from Office 2010) don't create new .ost file
Hi there, hope someone can help me.
Here is my Problem:
I'm runninng Office 2010 (32Bit Version) on Windows 7 Enterprise x64. I've started Office 2010 with Exchange CacheMode activated. The ost-file is located under D:\Data\outlook\%username%
Now I'm testing Migration to Outlook 2013.
I'm using OAT to do the following things (regarding only Outlook):
- Uninstall of Office 2010
- Install of Office 2013 with using old settings
-Features: Configuring "Do not create new ost file during Migration" (we have many subsidiaries with low performance connections - so the old ost should be used after migration)
Outlook-Profile: Tried all 3 methods (use existing profile | change profile | new Profile)
At all my tests Outlook creates a new .ost-file under standard directory and don't use the existing ost-file under D:\Data\%Username%
After These tests i tried it with gpo "donotcreatenewostonupgrade" - But in this case also a new ost is created.
In all cases i have 2 Outlook profiles: "Outlook" (with new ost) and "Backup of Outlook" (with old ost)
By Setting ForceOSTPath to D:\Data\outlook\%username"
and Donotcreatnewostonupgrade to 1
i get two .ost's under D:\Data\outlook\%username" - "outlook.ost" and "Outlook data file.ost"and two mailprofiles "BACKUP OF Outlook" and "Outlook"
So ForceOSTPath is getting used, but Donotcreatnewostonupgrade not *confusing*
Can someone cann tell me a solution for this problem?
Best regards
Daniel
Best regards
DanielHi Daniel,
What OAT tool are you using? Is it the Office Customization Tool?
Where did you get the "Do not create new ost file during Migration" option in the tool? As far as I know, OST file cannot be migrated. If you were able to use the old OST file, Outlook will prompt that it
doesn't match the server mailbox.
The ForceOSTPath applies only to new profile, it can't be used to force Outlook to use the old OST file.

Steve Fan

Printer prints blank pages when I turn it on
When I turn my printer on it starts to endlessly print blank pages for no reason. I have checked the print log and there isn't anything waiting to be printed. I have reset the printer, unplugged the power supply, and reset my computer. None of this worked. I have a HP PSC 1410 All-in-one.
Have you tried disconnecting the printer from the computer?
1. Power off the printer.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the back of the printer.
3. Power on the printer.
Does it still print continously?

DanielHi
As per the information and details provided by you, to migrate lost file from Outlook 2010 to 2013, please follow these steps: -
You need to use one of the two methods to move the OST file and both involve a new profile. If you are making a new profile, you can use
ForceOSTPath registry key. Or you can move the ost file and create a new profile in the Control Panel, Mail applet and point it to the new location.
Copy your ost file to the new location. You can skp this step if you want to create a new ost file.
Open the
Control panel, find Mail.
Click Show Profiles.
Click Add.
Type a name for your new profile, click
Ok.
Enter your
username and password and let Outlook find your account information.
Select the
Change account settings option, and then click Next.
Click
More Settings.
On the
Advanced tab, click Outlook Data File Settings.
Click
Browse, browse to the ost file, then click Open.
If you want to create a new ost file, browse to the new location,
enter a filename, and then click Open, Outlook will create the new ost file.
Click
Always use this profile, select the new profile that you created, then click
Ok to close the dialog.
Using ForceOSTPath to set the file location
Open the registry editor and browse to this key. Create a string value named ForceOSTPath and add the path. (You can use variables, if
you are using group policy to push it out to your users).
Outlook 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook Expandable String Value: ForceOSTPath Value data: full path you want to use
Outlook 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook Expandable String Value: ForceOSTPath Value data: full path you want to use
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
