Possible cause of periodic IE crash in SharePoint

by Rebecca Watson

If different version of Office products are installed, IE may crash intermittently when viewing SharePoint, for example, when trying to open an office document or clicking "edit in datasheet".

This may be due to conflicting DLLs--one for Office version 11 and one for Office version 12. Usually due to a blended Office install, ie, SharePoint Designer 2007 or Visio 2007 may be installed, but every other Office product is still 2003.

Look for owssupp.dll. You'll likely find it in 2 places, c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\owssupp.dll and c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\owssupp.dll. These guys are butting heads and the likely cause of the crashes.

Rename the Office 12 version to .old, leaving the Office 11 as is.

(c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\owssupp.old)

Printing Web Parts in SharePoint

Imagine this: You’ve just taken the time and effort to modify the look and feel of the content of a web part. Perhaps you even created a sophisticated display of data using CorasWorks Custom Display Properties or the List Viewer web part. It works, and, brings back the data you want – looks great on the screen. Now, you want to have a nice printout of the data viewed in the web part. What you need is a Print Button? This article will tell you how to do this in 4 easy steps.
By following the 4 steps below, using native SharePoint web parts, and the code provided, you will be able to add a Print Button to a page that will print the contents of any web part. You could even have multiple Print Buttons for different web parts or a button to print the contents of many web parts – but first, let get you one Print Button.
1. Start with a web part
You start by having a web part with a display of information, such as a list. If you don’t have one already you can start by creating a SharePoint Event List, and then, adding a Calendar web part (remember to choose the Calendar View). Or, for CorasWorks users, use any Roll-Up view of data.
2. Add the Print Button
You will be adding a Print Button to the page, by putting the JavaScript below into a Content Editor Web Part.
Add a Content Editor Web Part to the page with the web part you want to print.
Open its properties and click the Source Code button to add the JavaScript code.
Copy the following code directly into the Text Builder box. This code will create a “Print Web Part” button that when clicked, will execute the print action.

//Controls which Web Part or zone to printvar WebPartElementID = "WebPartWPQ6";
//Function to print Web Partfunction PrintWebPart(){ var bolWebPartFound = false; if (document.getElementById != null) { //Create html to print in new window var PrintingHTML = '\n\n'; //Take data from Head Tag if (document.getElementsByTagName != null) { var HeadData= document.getElementsByTagName("HEAD"); if (HeadData.length > 0) PrintingHTML += HeadData[0].innerHTML; } PrintingHTML += '\n\n\n'; var WebPartData = document.getElementById(WebPartElementID); if (WebPartData != null) { PrintingHTML += WebPartData.innerHTML; bolWebPartFound = true; } else { bolWebPartFound = false; alert ('Cannot Find Web Part'); } } PrintingHTML += '\n\n'; //Open new window to print if (bolWebPartFound) { var PrintingWindow = window.open("","PrintWebPart", "toolbar,width=800,height=600,scrollbars,resizable,menubar"); PrintingWindow.document.open(); PrintingWindow.document.write(PrintingHTML); // Open Print Window PrintingWindow.print(); }}
3. Connect the Print Button to the Web Part
To do this we need the tag ID for the Web Part we want to print, then, we modify the ID in the JavaScript of the Print Button.
To find out the ID of the Web Part we want to print:
Using your browser, right mouse click on the page where the Web Part is installed and choose “View Source”. This will open a view of your page in HTML within Notepad.
Press CTRL-F, to initiate a Find. Enter the Title of your Web Part. You may need to execute a find a couple of times as your navigation may show “Events” as well.
Once you have located the HTML for your Web Part for example; “”, look later in the HTML for a tag which matches the Web Part Queue Number, in this case WPQ6. In our case it looks like “
The “WebPartWPQ6” would be the ID we want. The key part of the ID is to know if it is 1, 2, 3, etc. Here it is 6.
To modify the Print Button JavaScript:
Modify the Content Editor Web Part which contains the JavaScript you pasted earlier and go into the Source View.
Look for the line “//Controls which Web Part or zone to print”, the line underneath controls the ID near the top.
Replace the “WebPartWPQ6” with the ID you copied from the source of the page and click “OK”.
Save the changes and click OK.
4. Print the Web Part Content
We are now ready to test what you have labored to create. Once the page has been refreshed inside of Internet Explorer, click on the “Print Web Part” button. You should see a new Window with the content of your web part.
If your pop-up blocker IS NOT turned on, you will get the Print Dialogue.
If it is turned on, then you can go to File Print or Print Preview.
Now, print the content.
Notes and Tips
You may notice that a JavaScript error occurs during the printing - this can be ignored. Since you are not within a Web Part Page all of the functions necessary for menus, or trees, etc… will not have the necessary JavaScript they need to function.
You may want to change the button text. Go to the Content Editor Web Part, find the text “Print Web Part”, and change it to what you want.
You can also put multiple buttons on a page, each connected to print one web part. Think of it as a centralized report list.
If you are ready to really spice things, up you can modify the JavaScript code as necessary and use CSS to alter the Page Layout when printing.
You could also use FrontPage to place your tags around a Web Part Zone so that the Zone and all of its containing Web Parts will print.
We hope you enjoyed the article and found the information contained to be helpful. Enjoy and Happy Architecting.

How to make the Standard Tab Default in the Services Console

You need to open the services console in Author Mode, make your changes, and
save the .msc file.

To open the services console in Author Mode, go to your C:\Windows\System32
folder. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to make a copy of the
services.msc file. Next, right click on services.msc and select Author from the
menu. Click on the Standard tab. Close the console and click Yes when asked if
you want to save the changes. Do the same for compmgmt.msc if you go through

My Computer > Manage to get to services.
