One of my fave features in Word 2010 is the new custom undo records. It allows you to group your changes via code into blocks that can be undone in a single go – plus you can name the records. Take the following sub: Sub InsertSomeText() Selection.TypeText “This is a test” Selection.TypeParagraph Selection.TypeText “This is […]
Have you ever tried to get the edit time from the IManDocument or NRTDocument objects within Autonomy WorkSite? There’s the AccessTime property which returns the date plus time, but the EditDate property is just the date, and the time part is missing (set to 12:00am). So how do you get the date and time? Turns […]
Usually the cause of documents being slow to open in Word is when the attached template is missing – especially when the template is located on a network. Turns out with Word 2010 there can be another reason. We had a client where some documents were taking between 25 and 30 seconds to open, but […]
I’m spending a lot of time in issues lists at the moment, and so many issues are very poorly logged, with no details or steps on how to replicate the problem. Well that’s where the Problem Steps Recorder in Windows 7 comes in very handy. Get the users to type in PSR into the search […]
Occasionally we come across issues when moving databases from one SQL server to another. One of the most tricky situations is when you cannot get access to the applications configuration settings for the database you are required to move. This can be for various reasons, like forgotten passwords, poor application design or where the configuration […]
I experienced an interesting (or should that be frustrating) problem recently during an Office 2010 migration. We have some code in Word that saves the current document into Autonomy WorkSite. The code works by doing a Save As of the current document to a temporary file, and then saving the document again to free up […]
Autonomy recently released WorkSite 8.5 SP3 Update 1, which includes updated integration for Office 2007 and 2010. The integration, so far, is much better than the old version. The only problem is that it kills all your code that used the old iManOXP.dll (iManO2K.iManageExtensibility) but don’t worry, it’s easy to update your code to get […]
Often we have clients who want Word to open without an initial document being displayed. This is usually because they don’t want the initial document based on the normal template. Doing a winword /a is no good, as it kills off all the other add-ins – so your DMS is usually killed off in the process, let alone all your other add-ins.
Have you had a play with watermarks in Word 2007 or 2010? It looks great – a nice little graphical drop down so you can see what you’re inserting, the ability to create custom watermarks, what’s not to like? For simple documents, this works really well. The problem is once you come to a document […]
Our hands were tied recently when we had to develop a 32 bit web app due to the reliance on a 3rd party app that was 32 bit only. We quickly worked out how to get the app running in 32 bit mode in IIS7 just by setting the “Enable 32-Bit Applications” setting within the application […]
