When saving to SharePoint 2010, we want Word to use document title for file name

We have a template and custom Document information Panel.
In the panel we select a few values to filter the selection list of document numbers. After selection of document number the title is populated from an external list of document numbers with titles.
On initial save, the suggested file name provided by word is not the title that is already populated. If we cancel, and click save a second time the title is now the suggested file name.
Is there a workaround or fix for this issue either for sharepoint or word? To make it use the title information on the initial save attempt?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Do you use SharePoint Designer Workflow to get and populate the document’s file name?
If so, the issue is caused by delayed Workflow.
For a workaround, you can create an event receiver with ItemAdding method for getting and populating the document’s file name.
For more information, you can refer to the article:

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard. I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air. Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out. But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all. I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well. Documents are opening beautifully!

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

Saving documents with similar file names

When saving documents with similar file names, I used to be able to hit save as button and go to the file folder I wish to use. I could then click an existing file in the folder to draw in the name and then just modify it slightly to create the new name.
In Reader DC I get an error saying this is a read only file an can not be saved. I can save the file if I use a different file name but then I have to go in and rename the file. i.e. if I have a weakly report that I save, I may have the file name "Installerspayroll.we.04.25.15.pdf."
I used to be able to click on the existing file name to bring it into the name box and then just change the date. The updated version is not allowing me to do that, creating more work.

Changes in Excel cannot be saved when open from SharePoint 2010

Hi,
I use SharePoint 2010 to access my documents library. When I open an Excel spreadsheet and do some changes, save the changes and everything seems to be fine. I close the Excel file and open it again. Surprise! my changes are gone and even though I did this
many times, I got the same result.
There is no versioning and not check out requirement in the Library settings. I do use IE v9.
I'll appreciate any help.
Regards
//Ashraf

Hi Ashraf,
This forum is for Team Foundation Server, I'd like to know whether you use TFS and if you have tried on other files. If you don't use TFS, you can open a new thread in SharePoint forum for a better response.
If you have TFS integrate with SharePoint, then you can use a newer version of IE to have a try, or check on other machines. Also confirm whether your account has the permission to edit the file. Elaborate more details about your scenario if the problem
persists.
Best regards,

Problem got when setting up Sharepoint 2010

As Filter pack 2.0 is one pre-requisite of Sharepoint 2010, but when setting up this
Microsoft Filter Pack 2.0 (KB2837594) 64-Bit Edition
I get this
As I'm setting up Sharepoint 2010 on the server, BTW, can I use ASP.NET v4.0, instead of v2.0, mentioned below?
Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

SharePoint automatically provisions for IIS Application Pools that are .NET 2.0 only. If you manually changed them, you simply need to change it back via IIS Manager -> Application Pools, identify the pool in question, go to Basic Settings, and change
from .NET 4 to .NET 2.

Error when saving an Outlook attachment eg. Word Doc after opening it.

we made the group policy change which was giving an error when saving from opened attached files.
But for 1 particular RDS user the error still seems to be occurring. i've tried the following,
1. recreating outlook.
2. recreating user profile.
3. deleted the group policy history from the registry.
4. tried removing outlook add-ins.
your help would be really appreciated.
kind regards

Hi,
What is the error? Does outlook crash? Would you please also detail the group policy change?
We can try cleaning out the Temporary Outlook Files folder to check the result.
We can refer to the following link for the detailed steps to locate and find the temp folder:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Then we need to use OutlookTempCleaner to clean the folder:

How can I remove the list of 20 recently saved items when you click on the arrow on the far right side of the File Name screen for images, web pages, ect?

When I right click and go save image/page/ect as the file save popup screen appears and on the right side of the File Name bar there is an arrow. If you click the arrow it shows the last 20? items that have been saved and their save location. Is there anyway to not have the list of recent items there or at the very least a way to clear them? I'm running Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
Also when you save items as you were typing in the name you want to save them as it used to show filenames with the same name as you type that are saved in that directory so instead of typing the whole filename or copy/pasting you could start typing a filename and then hit the up or down arrow, backspace and just change the end of the filename without having to retype the entire filename.
Hopefully you understand what I mean and can help me fix it, thanks.

It's in the proper directory. I can scroll down the window on the right and see the files but if I start typing the file name of one of them the autocomplete drop down thing that shows matching file names does not appear. In the back of my mind I'm starting to think a setting got changed and then the list of matching file names stopped appearing but I can't recall what setting may have been changed, if it was a firefox or microsoft change or for certain if anything got changed at all. Yeah I know I'm not helping my own cause but what can you do.

When I add text to a PDF, I am forced to change the file name rather than just updating the current file. Why?

I have been doing the same process for months and until recently I could just add text to a pdf, click save, adobe would ask me if I wanted to replace the current file, I'd say yes and we would be done. Now I get a message that says "The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." It does this about 70% of the time. The rest of the time it works like it used to.

You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
the function only takes 19. Try the following:
Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
    jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
    jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
    100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
supposed to look like.
