SharePoint Version label in Word Document Problem

Hi all,
Hoping somebody can help as I am quickly running out of ideas. I've setup a Document Library and created the {Version} within each document type, however when I create a document the following error message gets displayed:-
Some information required to complete this label is missing. To add the information now, click OK. To add the information later, click Cancel.
It appears that the label for {Version} or {_UIVersionString} as it is seen in the document is not able to be referenced.
Products are SharePoint 2013 and Word 2013
Kind Regards,
Neil

Hi,
Please do the following steps:
1. Enable the versioning for the library.
2. Create a new Calculated column with this formula: =Version, and add it to the default view.
3. Check if the version information is available in the library's default view.
4. If you can get the version information, try to set the labels value with the new added column.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • Load latest document version in open Word document

    Hello,
    is it possible to automtically retrive the latest word document version from an document you opend before in read only modus?
    Following scenario:
    1. You opend a word document from a sharepoint DL in read only modus
    2. Someone else edits this document and save it (new version)
    3. You still have an open document but not the latest.
    Can Word remind the user that there is a new version of this document? (When you go in edit mode you will get a message that there is a new version)
    Thanks in advanced
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the latest version of the document when the document has been opened in Word.
    I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and I can get the latest version of the document when the document has been opened in Word.
    When you go in edit mode, there will be a message to tell you that there is a new version of the document:
    Please make sure that the document has been checked in by the former user and your account has the permission to edit the new versions of the document.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • PDF to Word Document problem

    First time user on Acrobat 9 Pro and am trying to convert a PDF document (I'm not the author) to a Word document.
    Once a word document I want to be able to edit or e-mail to a 3rd party to edit.
    Each time I have attempted "save as" or export the following message appears and the document is saved as a picture (thus cannot be edited in word).
    "Acrobat was able to make this document accessible but found the following oddities:
    Some difficult pages were encountered requiring all graphics on those pages to be labeled as figures [1]."
    Does this mean there is no way that the document can be converted to word and then edited or am I doing something wrong?
    If anyone can advise I would be grateful.  Thanks

    It sounds like you might just want to consider putting the scan or image save (if possible) in the header of a WORD document set at exact zero spacing and at the top of the page and with the image below the line. This should show the image on the rest of the page and you could then just type in WORD to your heart's content. In any case, the original form will likely have to be used in the final since most folks would not accept a made up form, particularly if they have secured it. The WORD trick is one I used to use to fill out a monthly form and have a record of what I had completed. I haven't done it for many years, but is a useful trick.
    Just to demonstrate the point, I have put the first page of the IRS f1040 into a WORD file. The security on the form allowed for it to be saved as a TIFF and I just put the TIFF into the header of a DOC file. I changed the TIFF to be behind the text, and aligned at 0,0 of the margin (actually you might want to set your default margins first and then go from there, since a change of the margins will move the graphic). I then set the paragraph spacing in the header to exactly 1pt (you might be able to adjust this up, but might have to compensate for the TIFF alignment). You then go back to the document and type to your heart's content. The text should show on top of the graphic. You can do this with any graphic and it is a trick that few folks are aware of except for power users. I ran into it many years ago with a different word processor and found I had to set the paragraph to exact to make it work. With the WORD feature of having the graphic behind the text this may not be necessary.
    I have posted it (at least for a few days) at http://wadavis.ece.vt.edu/f1040Sample.doc. I think this may meet your need. In the end, you likely will need to come back to the original for and fill in the full data for the folks that made the form. If you can not save as a graphic, then you will have to scan. If it is in black&white, you might try either B&W or grayscale to save space. In my example I did not bother with the conversion to B&W and the form page is 985kB. In B&W it is 158kB. Grayscale is about 2 times larger. That would have made my sample file a lot nicer to work with. In any case, this idea takes a bit of time, but can be effective. If you have a multi-page form, then you would add a section break to a new page and repeat the process using a different header (a bit confusing in WORD, but is easy to do once you figure out the correct choice). Good luck.

  • Any help appreciated: Can I recover the edited version of my word document?

    Hi everyone,
    So sorry if I am asking a question that's been answered a million times before. I was working on a document for a few hours and it kept crashing (force quit) every once in a while after I copy pasted text. Luckily, everytime I clicked on the word icon the version I was working on was immediately recovered; all changes were saved.
    The suddenly, after I had to force quit the program another time and clicked on the icon, none of the changes I made where there anymore. I've been looking through my computer but i just cannot find the version I worked on. Not in my trash..no temporary file or temporary folder. I did check the preferences in word and while "create backup copy" wasn't checked, auto recovery info was set to 10 minutes.
    So, before I start editing my document from scratch and despite there being little to no hope, I wanted to make sure I ask whether there is anything I can do to recover the file I was working on?
    Thanks so much for the help!

    Not sure why it is Crashing but you had better get in the habit of saving every minute or 2. It's quite simple. Just hit the Command + s keys.

  • Display SharePoint Version number in Excel

    I have managed to display the SharePoint Version Number in Word 2007, using the label and the Document Management Policies in SharePoint. Now I am looking for something similar in MS Excel 2007, allowing me to automatically display the current version number
    of the Excel file somewhere inside the document.
    The idea is to always have an up to date version number on any printout of an Excel file, so that we can control our documents better. While I managed to display the number through the "Quick Parts" tool in Word, I cannot see anything similar in Excel.
    Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
    Thanks for the help.

    Firstly on the SharePoint document library create a custom column called SPVersion. A custom workflow will then be required to copy the SharePoint version number into the SPVersion column when an item is updated or added.
    Start Excel and from the quick access toolbar, select More Commands. Then from the left navigation, choose Popular and ensure that 'Show developer bar in the ribbon' is selected. Click OK. Now open the Excel and save the file as a Macro Enabled Excel
    Workbook. From the developer ribbon, click on 'View Code'. Right click on Microsoft Excel Objects and click on Insert > Module. Paste the user defined function below into the module: 
    Function SPVersion()
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Set wb = ThisWorkbook
    For Each prop In wb.ContentTypeProperties
    If prop.Name = "SPVersion" Then
    SPVersion = prop.Value
    End If
    Next prop
    End Function
    Now return to the Excel sheet and enter the function =SPVersion in any of the Excel cells to display the SharePoint version number.

  • Cannot print in word document

    HI, I have a hp 3930 deskjet printer I cannot print in microsoft office,the printer seems to be printing but the pages are blank,  however my printer prints fine in internet explorer, I have windows xp sp3
    Can someone help pls?

    hello all,
    This sounds more like a Word document problem, what version do you have? If you can print from other applications, it must be the copy of Office that you have.
    I would recommend downloading Open Office, then test printing from there. It will print like Microsoft word for you and then you will see if it is your Office copy to blame or not.

  • Insert SharePoint document version in Word documents - Viewing in Word Web App

    Hello all,
    I'm using Labels with the label format {Version} to display the SharePoint document version in MS Office documents stored on my company´s SharePoint site. This works fine if I open the document from the Word client application but if I open it from Word Web
    App it displays the previous version number (a minor one). After half an hour or so, when I open the document in Word Web App, the version number is the correct one. I tought it was related with the IE cache so I cleaned it but the results were the same.
    Is there any way around this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    By design. Versioning is a property of a SharePoint item. When displaying an item from SharePoint, Office Web Apps only checks if there has been any change to the file content. It does not check for changes in metadata (if the Properties of the file have
    been modified). It then displays the cached image of the last modified version of the file instead of running a new file conversion. This is why the last minor version is displayed in the Content Control instead of the major version. This behaviour is completely
    intended and designed to work this way. This is, in fact, a performance optimization. If we would not have this performance optimization in place, then this would mean that Office Web Apps would need to download the file again every time there is a metadata
    change (which would, of course, mean overloading the SharePoint server).
    I found a similar thread as below, please refer to it for workaround:

    Hi Waqas
    Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
    Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
    Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
    I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
    Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
    If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
    the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
    New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
    I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
    Any further help with this is much appreciated.
    Thanks again.

  • How to click a label and pop up a Word Document

    hi!
    i know this question has been asked many times...i did a search...but got alot of stuff that were either too much for me to read...or too tough for me...
    i hope i can GEt some help here!
    i am in a rush..thats why i opted to post it here instead.
    question is:
    i have a JLABel. hwo to create a link that once i click on it... a MS word DOC will open??
    i already have the doc. file made...but need to link it to the label..such that once its clicked, the doc is opened...
    thanks alot!!!

    A very important message about problem solving: Divide and conquer.
    Stop thinking "clicking a label and open a word document".
    Think
    - "Clicking a label, and do something"
    - "open a word document from a java program".
    Go on, and think
    - "How do I make my program notice when a specific label gets clicked"
    - "What external command will open a word document?"
    - "How do I run an external command from a java application?"
    Look at the hints you've got. Read the documentation for the classes and methods you've been pointed towards. Look them up in the index in a good book. Read the tutorial. Write code. Experiment. Maybe come back here if you get stuck on something specific.

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

    Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
