your right Andrew

Ideally, analyse should have been performed to setup a “QAT” template with favourites or most used functionality already setup on the QAT to deploy to users.

Unfortunately due to time restrictions this wasnt performed and the default QAT was pushed out.

Were in the process of deploying now & getting feedback about QAT favourites. If we deploy a QAT template now, it’ll override the users QAT, and the users wont be happy about that.

I might look into adding the styles dropdown list into our custom add-in ribbon – great idea!

thanks Andrew

thanks Pam

yes I was thinking I may have to setup as one building block.

I was hoping someone may know if this was perhaps a microsoft bug? or other…

many thanks for your responses

We’ve just migrated from Lotus Notes 7 to Outlook 2007.

Lotus notes had the BCC fields for a calendar invite. The users were expecting the same feature in outlook

Ive done some research and the closest workflow is to forward the iCalendar to the people as BCC in the email.

your right, what seems to be a simple request is complicated & messy to perform in Microsoft

thanks again

diana

thanks jscher

yes however outlook displays multiple windows.

there must be a setting to configure this…somewhere?

see screen capture

Thanks John and Wendall

John – yes its the 3rd option which is – The control source is a formula that refers to other controls on the form.

Wendall – yes your right the forms are very complex. We have Office2007 SP2. The excel intergration is now working fine.

in regards to the calculations – Ive worked it out & its now sorted.

The trigger is to add data into the field “Adjustment Date”.
Once a date is entered if you edit the field “Amount for period”
The Purchaser amount is updated and displayed automatically.

see screen capture

It was a case of user error, rather than being code related *phew*

many thanks for your help again

We’re currently in the process of upgrading from Office XP to Office 2007. For office 2007 the code has been converted to a .net solution The templates are .dotx. All documents are purposely saved as .doc to make compatiable with our clients. who would still be on older versions of office. At a later date when more firms have upgraded to Office 2007, another project exists to convert all .doc to docx.

I like your “merging” the two heading styles together. a couple of things:
If I create a new template and rename style “Sub heading 2” to “Sub heading 2,H2#”. In the template the heading style displays.
If I open my doc and reattach to this new template the doc doesnt display this new heading style “Sub heading 2,H2#”. it displays a new heading style “Sub Heading Char”
Have I missed a step?

another method is:

1. Turn on the view “Keep Track of formatting”. Goto Office button, select Word Options, select Advanced, tick checkbox “Keep Track of formatting”, click OK
2. Display Styles Pane
3. Select a paragraph. The Styles pane displays the heading style used
4. On the Style arrow drop down, select “Select all instances(s). This is how many times this format has been applied
5. This selects all those heading styles in the document
6. In the Styles pane, scroll and locate sub heading 2. Click on Sub heading 2
7. Result: this applies Sub heading 2 to all selected items.
8. Repeat above steps for each heading style.
9. Paragraphs will have to be checked and cleaned up eg if manual numbers have been typed in to replace automatic numbering
This works.
10. When completed untick the checkbox “Keep Track of formatting”. Goto Office button, select Word Options, select Advanced, untick checkbox “Keep Track of formatting”, click OK

Note: This method takes a lot of memory processing therefore with large documents could choke Word and crash.

many thanks
