Saving a document in SharePoint 2010 document library

When we create a new document (lets say Word Document) in Sharepoint 2010 document library, while saving the document the following dialog appears.






















This means that the document is going to be saved on your local hard drive and not on the SharePoint site. To resolve this one needs to do the following steps -




  • Open Microsoft Word, click on File -> Options






    •  Click on Trust Center in the dialog that opens






















    • Next Click on Trust Center Settings























    • In Trust Center Settings  click Protected View tab and uncheck Enable Protected view for files located in potentially unsafe locations as shown below.






















    • Click on OK to close the open dialogs and close Microsoft Word.

    Now if you try to create a new word document in SharePoint and try to save it, you should get the following dialog



    Which means that now your files will be successfully stored in the Sharepoint document library and not on your local hard drive.

    Two important notes-
    1.  One has to repeat this step for Excel, PowerPoint, etc (which means each kind of document you intend to store on Sharepoint)
    2. Also if you are using Windows Server then you need to enable Desktop Experience feature in Server Manager

    Hope this helps

    Handy Tips on working on Microsoft Word or Outlook

    I have complied a small set of handy tips for working on Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook – 1.

Different people take different approaches to the task. For instance, some people just select the text and press Delete, while others may simply hold down the Delete or Backspace keys until the unwanted characters disappear. If you are in the latter group, and you spend a lot of time pressing Delete or Backspace, you may be interested in a handy shortcut provided by Word. All you need to do is hold down the Ctrl key to speed up your editing tasks. Here is a list of what you can achieve with this Ctrl+ <-- (left arrow key)        Goto Previous word Ctrl+ --> (right arrow key)      Goto Next word Ctrl+Delete     ...

    A simple customization in MPOS (Blank Operation) with AX7

    Hi All, I recently had to add a Blank Operation to Modern POS (MPOS) to open a url from MPOS. Blank Operation as you may already be aware enable you to extend Microsoft Dynamics Retail for POS by adding custom logic that can be triggered from the Retail POS Register buttons. The way to implement Blank Operations in MPOS  is different from Enterprise POS as MPOS is a modern app as compared to EPOS which is a windows forms based app. So lets explore a very simple customization i.e. we want to open a URL on triggering a button from MPOS. 1. We would need to start with AX to add a button to the layout of MPOS. If you do not want to disturb the standard layouts its better to copy one of the existing layouts and then modify it using the designer. Please note the designer only opens in Internet Explorer so it will save you time by not trying to open it in other browsers e.g Chrome 2. Next we need to add this layout to the Store where we intend to use it...
