Read Cell Comments in binding using Office.js

Hi All,
I am building an Excel Visualizations App. I would like to create an option of adding comments into the visualization. How can I read comment in Cells using the Office.js.
Regards
BZ

Hi BZ,
Thanks for posting in MSDN fourm.
Based on the description, you want to hand the comment in apps for Office.
As far as I know, there is two ways to read and set the content in Office. The first is via the document object to read/set the content from selection. The second is using Binding object to read/set the contents for binding object.
If you want apps for Office to support read/set comment, I suggest that you submit the feedback from link below:

Long delays with BI Office and many Excel cell comments

Hello,
We experience long delays in Excel spreadsheets that have many cell comments when opening, switching between, saving, or closing the spreadsheet with BI Office add-in installed. Uninstall the plugin and the delay goes away. It appears the plugin scans through all cell comments at specific times, whether there is OBIEE embedded content or not. I would estimate the spreadsheets have hundreds of comments. This basically kills usability to the point that people prefer to not install the add-in.
We are using 10.1.3.4.0. The problem exists on both Excel 2003 and 2007.
Other than "don't use cell comments", has anyone found a solution or workaround to this problem?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks Michael. Sorry about oversight... running Windows XP.
Realizing not the best place to grouse... but seems not too swift to have software not backward compatible.
I'll go back to Reader 9 if I can find the install.

Edited/commented on PDF using Adobe Reader iphone 5 and e-mailed to myself so I could review on PC laptop. I opened on laptop and although I could see the comment bubbles, I was not able to open them to see the comments.

Oh I know there are many other vocabulary mistakes but never mind them I was just too excited when I wrote all of that while typing very quickly
P.S: if you have any question then ask and please do tell me if it works or not with u but I'm definitely sure it'll work so tell me this and we'll get excited together
Also if you have an experience to share then do share it as well please.
Peace

I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac. But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network. I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Cell Comment and Supporting Detail with User ID

I have created couple of SQL to generate the report on Cell Comments and Supporting detail from Planning repository tables 11.1.2.1.
This is working as expected Now I have additional requirement to provide the User information who added the cell comments or Supporting detail
Please let me know if anyone has this before - I wanted to know where the user information stored in these tables when someone entered cell comments

I like to think of the cell comments like post-it notes. If you use them sparingly, they're very useful. If you use them all the time (or use comments in every cell) it's unlikely that they will be as effective.
With regards attaching a document, I think the same can be said.
With regards supporting detail, it always strikes me that if you need more detail within a given cell, that the system should be accommodating this through component child members, rather than a mix of some cells containing supporting detail and others not. I understand that it's quite nice functionality to have though, and looks good when demo'ing.
I think the main take away from this is that every time you show the comments etc to people the first question you get is "Can you report all the comments for a given time period?" and the answer is of course unfortunately "Not easily using a supported method".
Just my thoughts...

Cell comment, Documentation, annotation and supporting detail.

Hi All,
I am actually new to 'Hyperion Planning'. I know what comment, documentation, annotation and supporting detail means. But, can anyone tell me 'WHEN' to use each of these.
Thanks

How can I show author and the time of a cell comment (not the annotation) in FRS?

I have FRS report in which one of the columns is displaying comments entered for the data cells in Planning. Using CelText() I can show the comments them selves, but not the Author and the Date (which are visible when you select Comments in the Planning web form or SmartView). I tried the Annotation() but its not working (as expected).
Am I missing some other function, un-documented feature, or an argument here?
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Hi,
Can you please use the CellText as annotation function in FR Studio.
The steps:
1) Add planning comment with admin account using planning interface.
2) Display as Annotation option is checked in Studio.
3) When the report is run in web viewer this planning comment is shown as a read-only cell-text annotation the author is admin

Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command. The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
it is a simple command.
Comments appreciated.
side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included. In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
Steps are:
Download the Office deployment tool from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
example we will use the \\server\sharename
location.
Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
(on single line)
Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
\\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml
(This is the name of the XML file created above)
Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
Sherazad

With SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).

OneDrive for Business sync app when using Office 2010

Hi,
My clients use Office 2010. They all have SharePoint Workspace installed as well, thought, they don't use it.
As part of new SharePoint 2013 on-premise roll-out, I have to find a method to silently install OneDrive for Business into clients machines, without disruption to the use of Office 2010. They will use OneDrive for business to sync their team sites libraries
and their personal site library.
So far, I have no success.
What I tried:
-Standalone OneDrive Pro client exe Setup.x86.en-us_GrooveRetail_3V9N8-W93CC-FQPB8-Y9WVF-TVGJ3_TX_PR_.exe
It seems there is no way to run it silently anyway. Is there?
basically, this package still connects to the internet to download modules and it prompts user for some interaction while installing. I NEED IT SILENT.
-Building OCT package out of Office 2013 installation media. I selected to only install Groove(OneDrive) and leave existing Office product intact. Then I run it from setup.exe /adminfile //location/onlygroove.MSP
It provisions SkyDrive Pro client (note the name, I used Office 2013 without SP1 media)
Problems with that:
1.After installing Office 2013 SP1, client name is still SkyDrive Pro 2013, but sync folder actually changed, some other user interface places are also updated
2.After silent run, Office 2010 experience problems: Outlook 2010 crushes on start 3 times, then it attempts to run repair, Repair will fix outlook, but it also sets SharePoint workspace as a default client for sync. Running Office 2013 repair will break
Outlook again. The solution is to uninstall SharePoint workspace, then run Office 2013 repair, then Office 2010 repair again - this way I have SkyDrive Pro as a sync app and Outlook 2010 working.
As you see, I have problems with having seamless silent OneDrive for Business sync app installation. Even asking clients to install it manually would be too hard for them. Annoying thing is that if you click the exe file to run, it takes about 2 minutes
before user sees anything happening on a screen. I can see users getting confused if they actually initiated a process of not!
What am I missing ?
Any other way to provision it in bulk to my users? Any help appreciated.

I think we're all waiting on Microsoft to (quickly) address this. Its unacceptable.
It is seriously unacceptable, and I am having the same problems. Even running tests locally and I am a domain admin, I come across admin permission errors. I have tried amending the config file and creating a new one (onedrive_download.xml), creating a new
folder as a temp test and running the OneDrive for Business pack (extracted). These are the errors I get (on my own admin PC).

Can i use office web app server without adding to a domain ?

spserver.local is my domain controller webapp.spsserver.local is my office web app server(OWA)(IP:79.123.161.xxx )
I manage to use office web app with sharepoint 2013 my OWA is in a domain (spserver.local) and it's address is http://webapp.spserver.local/hosting/discovery There
is no problem. But I want to seperate OWA with Sharepoint and its domain I want to remove the domain.Is it possible?
For example my OWA's ip is 79.123.161.xxx
I want to work like this: http://79.123.161.xxx/hosting/discovery
When I enter the path http://79.123.161.xxx/hosting/discovery there
is an iis message "File or directory not found."

Are you asking if you can have your OWA in different domain compared to SharePoint server domain or are you asking that your OWA does not belong to any domain and you still want to use it with SharePoint?
If your question is regarding using OWA in different domain then I think (someone can correct me if I am wrong) OWA can run into different domain. You just need to add your SharePoint Server host domain to the Allow List for an Office Web Apps Server farm.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219459.aspx
If your question is related to OWA not belonging to any domain then I do not think that will work and its not supported scenario. If you read the following article it states
"All servers in the Office Web Apps Server farm must be part of a domain. They can be in the same domain (recommended) or in domains that are in the same forest. However, Office Web Apps Server won’t work if you try to install it on a domain controller."

The configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML - When using Office 2013 ODT package

All,
I'm experiencing an issue where when using the Office 2013 package pulled down from ODT, that if I try to change the locations of either InfoPath Filler 2013 or Publisher 2013 from the default of Microsoft Office 2013 then I receive the message "The
configuration file did not contain well formed AppV configuration XML. Please check the management server event log for more information". If I check Applications and Services\Microsoft\AppV\Server-Management\Admin the error displayed there is "An
error was encountered parsing dynamic configuration file '0'. However I am able to change the shortcut location for all other applications except the above 2. I've tried redownloading the files using the ODT and also changing the version number (so far I've
tried both the 15.0.4631.1002 and 15.0.4659.1001 with the same result).
As all I'm interested in so far is having a package which contains Visio and Project I've tried following the article to exclude all the other Office elements:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ExcludeAppElement. However the package looks to be the same and when I load it into the management console all the options and elements to Office 2013 are available like they were before
when I hadn't set the exclude tags so I'm not sure whether the ExcludeApp parameters actually work correctly.
This then brings me onto the 3rd issue I've experienced. I have a group for the Visio users and I've set custom security for them to have Visio delivered to them but not Project and then a seperate group for just Project users who will have Project delivered
to them but not have Visio. When testing this sometimes seems to work but other times it seems to trip out and a user just in the Project or Visio group will get all of the Office 2013 applications and under the default location of Microsoft Office 2013. When
trying to spot correlation with this it appears random and can happen to any user on any device. We have sequenced a few applications ourselves where different parts are needed for different users and we have successfully managed this using different security
groups for different applications, just as I'm trying here with Office 2013.
Has anyone else experienced the issue with the "did not contain well formed XML" as at the start of the post and how were you able to resolve this? Also has anyone any advice on how to troubleshoot the issue with the security seeming to trip out
and publish all applications within a package to a user regardless of whether they are in the correct group or not?
The management / publishing servers are 5.0.1224.0 which is SP1 HF4 and the clients are on SP2 HF5.
Thanks

Nicke,
The config files are UTF-8. I did find the same article as yourself, however when searching for the value ‘TakeoverExtensionPointsFrom46=’ within either of the configuration.xml files that text isn’t found.
No sinister reason not to share the file used, just it’s the same structure as referenced in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn745895(v=office.15).aspx. The only difference being that I’m using ProPlusVolume and I’ve set a version number (which is the October
2014 update). I’ve even looked to follow the above example as closely as possible in just using the ExcludeApp ID of Access and InfoPath, just to try and prove the process. However I still get the usual full package. The version of the Click-to-Run setup.exe
I’m using is 15.0.4623.1001, so later than the version specified at the end of that article which is 15.0.4619.1000. Where can I expect to see the elements excluded? Will it be when loading the package into the management console or would it just not appear
on the machine when delivered?
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\OfficeDeploymentToolV2" Version="15.0.4659.1001" OfficeClientEdition="32">
    <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
    </Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
3). We’ve not used global publishing in our environment yet so I will try that. I’ve set both GlobalRefreshEnabled and GlobalRefreshOnLogon to True and when using the command Get-AppvPublishingServer on the client I’m testing with I can see this is pulled
through correctly. I’ve also added the client name to the AD group used to grant access to the package and it is published. However nothing is pulling through onto the Client, so are there any steps I’ve missed or misinterpreted when looking to set this up?
I guess the global publishing is there to keep in with licensing for Office being per device? On a slight aside, as Windows licensing is being changed to allow per user licensing
http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-make-per-user-windows-licensing-available-to-enterprise-customers-7000035401/ does anyone know if there are any plans to allow for Office / Project / Visio licenses to go per user as well? We’re a volume license customer
rather than subscription based so I think a lot of the options to selectively deploy Visio and Project are excluded for us.
Dan,
Ok that explains why the security could be tripping out then and leading to this result. As above I’ll try with global publishing and see how I get on.
From what I’ve read / watched I think only one Office 2013 package can be published to a machine, so we would be unable to have a separate package for Visio and a separate package for Project and then attempt to deliver
them both together. If a user wanted both Project and Visio then I guess we’d need to have a combined Project and Visio package to cover than scenario, but then 2 more separate Project and Visio packages for those who would only want either Project and Visio
(I think).
The scenario we’re looking at is to see whether we are able to deliver Project and / or Visio to different users through an AppV package and this will then cover users on XenApp or on fat clients. Only a small proportion of our
users will need access to Project and / or Visio so therefore we’d only have a small amount of Project and Visio licenses.
However from what I’ve tested up to this point and from what I’ve picked up from Forum posts / watched on TechEd sessions is that as publishing is Global and is unable to use different security groups for different elements of the
suite, then using Office through AppV is only suitable if you will be delivering the whole suite (including Project and Visio) to all of your users. So in a scenario where you’d only want certain elements to be delivered to a handful of users then you’d need
to keep with traditional ESD methods to have this installed onto fat clients and steer clear of XenApp. If wanting to install to XenApp then a lockdown tool like AppSense or AppLocker would also need to be brought into the equation.
Is my understanding above correct or have I missed some options / methods?
If the full Office package is always delivered but a company only has Office licenses and no Project and Visio licenses for all its users, how do they stop Project and Visio being delivered and being available? Or again if you have
this use case is the AppV method one which will be unsuitable?
Thanks

How can I read windows comments in a JPEG file on my iMac

I have 120, 000 photos, many with comments added in Windows Explorer, but while they are somewhere in the file data, they are not in ASCII coding so I cannot find any easy way to read them on my iMAC. At the moment I have to use my Windows PC to read the comments while building slide shows on the iMac, which is not ideal.
The Ideal solution would be a patch for Finder so that this data showed in the comments pane of the info window, but I expect that is asking to much.While I am on the subject of Finder, I also miss the ability to sort photos by 'Date Taken' which I cannot see any way to do in Finder.

Thanks Terence,
I found a piece of software called 'Reveal' in a related answer and using that I can see that the Windows Comments and Tags (Mac keywords) are in the EXIF metadata, with Tags 0x9c9c and 0x9c9e respectively. Reveal shows the ASCII values of the characters, and I now remember writing a Visual Basic programme about 15 years ago just for my own amusement that unpacked this data and made it readable. I seem to remember that there were also C++ routines at that time that purported to do the same thing, but I did not have a C++ compiler.
I take your point about the editors, but I am new to the iMAC and still have a lot to learn. I essentially have three new photo editors/organisers (iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom, and Aperture) to learn plus Adobe Photoshop Elements in it's MAC guise, and I am not prepared to use them seriously until I understand what they are doing. In the past I have not found any of the organisers able to cope with the number of pictures that I have - they just go away and huff and puff for hours or days before crashing, if I let them lose on the complete set.
Thanks for your help though.

Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work

User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates
- Using Office 2013 group policy template to define Trusted Locations and Template Locations doesn't work
Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Security/Trust Center/Trusted Locations
- Allow Trusted Locations on the network:
Enabled
- Trusted Location #1:
Enabled
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
Date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Allow sub folders: Enabled
The policy appears to apply to the client correctly by adding the following registry key and values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\15.0\word\security\trusted locations\location1
allowsubfolders: 1
date: June 10, 2013
Description: Trusted Location
Path: //server/sharedfoldername [Edit: Path:
\\server\sharedfoldername]
However, when you open Word Options/Trust Centre/Trust Centre Settings…/Trusted Locations
There are no trusted locations listed under ‘Policy Locations’
I have tried setting similar settings for setting the Shared Templates folder location and just like the trusted locations policy, the registry keys are created properly in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies however word doesn’t
seem to recognize these either.
This used to work flawlessly using the administrative templates for Word 2007 and 2010. Has anyone been able to get these policies to apply successfully, or know why office doesn’t recognize these settings from the Policies registry
Key?

This would have been an easy solution to the issue. Unfortunately it isn't the problem. This question was originally posted on another Microsoft site and
was transferred here and when it was transferred the path's changed from the original post:
\\server\sharedfodlername to //server/sharedfoldername. (I will edit the question to show up as it did in the original post) Not sure how that happened. This
is still an issue that I haven't been able to get working correctly.
As it turns out the 'New from Template' interface Word 2013 has developed is very bulky with large thumbnails and is not very customizable nor practical for an office
that has a large number of templates. Because I am unsatisfied with the display and performance of the 'New' template chooser I sought after a solution to change the way word creates a document from a template in another thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/how-can-you-change-the-display-of-templates-in/d49194b9-a6b4-4768-8502-7d7b50e9dd65 working through this issue with Jay we were able to develop
some VB script with handles a very large number of templates in a list view and it works much faster than the built-in Word interface. The above thread is how I've worked around trying to define a shared template location and I am quite happy with it.

Cannot OpenDatabase (MSAccess mdb file) using VB6 code on windows8 64 bit machine using office 2013.

I have a "mdb" file which is created long back in MSAccess 97 or 2000. I am using Office 2013.
When I tried to open the mdb file from my application using below code written in VB6, It works fine in Windows 7 64 bit machine but It is not working in Windows 8 64 bit machine.
If I use office 2010 again same code works fine in both Windows 7 and 8 64 bit machines.
Set gWork = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)

I tried changing it to "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" also but still the problem is not resolved.
Can anyone please help me in figuring this out ??

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for your reply.
Code was written in VB6. My VB6 application will try to open a "connec00.mdb" file and will read the data in it for displaying in the application.
For opening the database by the application the code was written like below
On Error GoTo Herr
Set gWork = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "", dbUseJet)
FLog.Addlog "File exists: Connecting to database..."
Set gCache = gWork.OpenDatabase(DataPath & fFilePath & "\connec00.mdb")
Herr:
FLog.Addlog "Error(Class_Initialize - DataConnector): " + Err.Description + " in " + Err.Source + Chr(10) + Chr(13) + "Init: Going on execution..."
If I manually open the "mdb" file both in windows 7 64 bit and windows 8 64 bit using MSAccess 2013, I will get the error
"cannot open a database created with previous version of your application".
On Windows 7 64 bit
Through my VB6 code the mdb file is opened (does not launch MSAccess) by my application and reading is done perfectly which inturns helps the application to display the data in the mdb file. (even though manually if I cannot open)
On Windows 8 64 bit
Through my VB6 code the mdb file is not able to open the database by my application.
It is going to Herr: part when it tries comes to that "OpenDatabase" step and it prints nothing in the log (Err.Description )also.
(This is seen only for Windows 8 64 bit) . In Windows 7 64 bit Herr part does not even hit.
Configuration wise I have checked both are same. Please let me know in case of furthur clarification or anything if I miss..
Thanks for your co-operation.
