Publish document?

Publishing a document makes a plain Word copy without any Chronolator code. Readers of the copy will not have to agree to any licence terms. After Chronolator has created the copy, you will be prompted to save it.

Press OK to continue, or Cancel.

Further Information

If you circulate a Chronolator document, readers will have to think about macros and accepting licence terms when opening it. Use this button to produce a plain Word document which contains no Chronolator code.

Possible actions

Press OK to create a non-Chronolator copy, or Cancel.

5105

Cannot publish a document to the same name

Publishing the file using this name would make it lose all its Chronolator functions.

Please try the save again using a different name.

Further Information

You have tried to publish a Chronolator Document using the same name as the document. Overwriting it in this way would stop its Chronolator functions from working.

Possible actions

Choose a different name for the published document.

5110

Could not copy styles

Chronolator encountered a Word error when trying to copy some of the styles used in this document. Pagination, text size and other formatting attributes might be different in the published version.

Try Publishing a second time when this attempt has completed: it will probably work as expected.

Possible causes

Internal error in Word when Publishing a Chronolator Document

Suggested actions

Retry Publishing.

If that fails, try Publishing to a different location.

5115

Publishing cancelled

Report production was cancelled at your request.

5120

Publishing cancelled

At least one date/time combination in this document is not valid. Chronolator is therefore unable to calculate elapsed times.

Correct the date/time combination and try Publishing again.

(Suggestion: use the Check Tables button to find any invalid date/time combinations).

Further Information

When you choose one of the Elapsed formats when Publishing a Custom chronology, Chronolator needs to calculate the difference between when an event started or ended and the start of the chronology. It can only do this if all non-blank dates and times are valid.

Possible actions

Press the Check Tables button to find any invalid date/time combinations, and correct them.

5130

Show Chronolator error details in published document?

This document contains error highlights and / or a list of errors generated the last time it was checked. Do you want to include them in the published version?

(If you do not, please note that page numbers might be different in the published version).

Further Information

It is up to you whether to include details of errors in a published document.

5140

Cannot create Analysis Document

Sequence numbers are missing or invalid.

If the chronology document does not have a Sequence column, add one using
Tools > Sequencing > Add column.

If it does, update it using
Tools > Sequencing > Update – sequential

Afterwards, try Publish > Analysis again.

Further Information

An Analysis document requires valid sequence numbers in every event.

Possible causes

• a table does not contain a Sequence column
• non-numeric, blank, or duplicate entries in the Sequence column

5141

Cannot create Analysis Document

Chronolator could not determine the date boundaries of table <tableNum>.

Further Information

In order to analyse a table, Chronolator needs to determine the earliest and latest events.

Possible causes

Either the earliest or latest date in the table, or both, cannot be determined.

Possible actions

Use the Check Tables button to ensure all dates in the table are valid.

5143

Cannot create Analysis Document

Chronolator found an invalid date in the event with reference number <eventRef>.

Further Information

In order to analyse a table, all dates must be valid.

Possible causes

The date of the event with reference number <eventRef> is invalid.

Possible actions

Correct the date.

5144

Cannot create Analysis Document

Chronolator found an invalid source prefix in the event with reference number <eventRef>

Further Information

In order to analyse a table, all Source Prefixes must be valid.

Possible causes

The Source Prefix of the event with reference number <eventRef> is invalid.

Possible actions

Correct the Source Prefix.

5200

Unsupported Word version

Chronolator requires Microsoft Word 2000 or later.

Press OK to continue without Chronolator, or Cancel to exit Word.

Further Information

Earlier versions of Word are not supported by Microsoft, so we would be unable to offer Chronolator support if the root cause of a problem was Word itself.

Possible actions

Press OK to close the document.

Ask your IT department to upgrade Word. They might be persuaded to do so by reading the information about Microsoft's support lifecycle for Office programs at https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/lifecycle/search?alpha=office.

5210

Document type changed

Chronolator works by running macros, so documents must be saved as .doc or .docm types. Chronolator will change the document to the correct type before saving it.

If you want to save the document as another type, use the Chronolator Publish button to make a plain Word copy and then save the Published copy in your desired format.

Further Information

Saving a document in a format which does not support macros would stop it being able to use Chronolator.

Suggested actions

Publish the document to make a plain Word copy which you can then save in any other format.

5220

Performance recommendation

Chronolator performs best when Word uses an option that improves the performance and reliability of any document stored on a network drive.

Press OK if you would like Word to use it.

Further Information

Word XP introduced a performance improvement option for documents stored on a network. When the option is set on, a network document is copied to a secure location on your computer when you open it. You work on that copy. When you save or close the document, Word moves it back to its network location. This can lead to dramatic improvements in performance, and also provides enhanced protection against network failure.

Unfortunately, when Microsoft introduced this option they did not make it the Word default. Chronolator can set it for you if it is not already on.

The option applies to all documents, not just Chronolator ones.

Suggested actions

• Press OK to allow Chronolator to set the option
• Close and re-open the document when prompted

Turning the option off

If you decide later that you want to turn the option off, you can do so as follows:

Word XP and 2003

On the main Word menu bar, press Tools > Options, then press the Save tab:

Un-tick Make local copy of files stored on network or removable drive.

Press OK.

Word 2007 and later

Open the Options dialog (see Opening the Word Options Dialog in The Trust Center).

Press Advanced and scroll down to Save.

Un-tick Copy remotely stored files onto your computer, and update the remote file when saving.

Press OK.

5221

Performance recommendation

Chronolator has set the option. Please close and re-open this document to allow it to take effect.

Further Information

See Message 5220.

Change tracking alert!

<document name> is using Word's Track Changes feature. Tracking changes can cause severe problems when processing tables.

Press OK to accept all tracked changes and turn change tracking off, or Cancel if you want to review them.

Further Information

Using Tracked Changes with tables can cause problems in any Word document, not just a Chronolator one. Microsoft are aware of this, but at the time of writing there is no fix on the horizon.

5231

<process> cancelled - change tracking active

<document name> is using Word's Track Changes feature.

The Tracked Changes feature can cause severe problems when processing tables.

Further Information

The named <process> was cancelled because change tracking is active in the document <document name>.

Possible causes

You replied Cancel to Message 5230.

You replied OK to Message 5230, but Chronolator was unable to turn off tracked changes.

Suggested actions

Review the tracked changes if you wish, then retry the cancelled process and reply OK to Message 5230.

5232

Unable to determine Tracked Changes status in <document name>

Chronolator could not determine whether Tracked Changes is on in the document because it appears to be locked by another user.

To be on the safe side, Chronolator will assume that Tracked Changes is on.

The Tracked Changes feature can cause severe problems when processing tables.

Possible causes

Someone else is editing the document and Chronolator could not determine whether Change Tracking is on.

Suggested actions

Close the document and wait for the other person to close it as well. Reopen the document.

5233

Unable to turn off Tracked Changes in <document name>

Chronolator could not turn off Tracked Changes.

This is probably because the document has been protected.

The Tracked Changes feature can cause severe problems when processing tables.

Possible causes

<document name> has been protected so that the Tracked Changes feature cannot be turned off.

Suggested actions

Turn off the protection. You might need to supply a password.

The relevant protection feature can be found in various places:

• Word 2013 and later- the Track Changes dropdown or the Restrict Editing button on the Review tab of the Ribbon
• Word 2010 - the Restrict Editing button on the Review tab of the Ribbon
• Word 2007 - the Protect Document dropdown on the Review tab of the Ribbon

Possible causes

You do not have an open Internet connection, or your organisation might have limited your access.

Possible actions

Connect to the Internet or contact your IT department to grant you access to our website as appropriate.

5320

Cannot save the document using the name you chose

A document with that name is already open in Word.

Please try the save again using a different name.

Further Information

Word does not allow you to save a document with the same name as one which is already open.

Possible causes

You have tried to save a document using the same name as an open document.

Possible actions

Retry the save using a different name.

5321

Cannot overwrite Chronolator system file

Saving the file using this name might overwrite documents which Chronolator needs to function.

Please try the save again using a different name.

Further Information

Chronolator will not let you save a file using one of its own reserved file names (chronolator-conversion-tool and ChronolatorOnlineWorkbench).

Possible actions

Retry the save using a different name.

5322

Permission Denied

You do not have Write access to the requested folder.

Please try to save the file in a different folder.

Further Information

You have tried to save the file in a folder to which you do not have Write access

Possible actions

Save the file in a folder to which you do have Write access, such as My Documents.

If you think you should have Write access to the folder, contact your IT department.

5323

File might be temporary

This file looks like a temporary one, or is in a temporary folder. If you are unaware of this you might not be able to find it after you close it.

After you press OK, you will be asked to save the document using another name and folder.

Please refer to the manuals if you frequently get this message.

Further Information

You might have become a victim of a bug in Word.

Possible actions

Save the file in the right place with the right name.

If the message is issued often, please ask your Administrator to contact Berrick Computing, quoting Message 5323.

Internal inconsistencies in Chronolator document

Chronolator has found internal inconsistencies in this document, which are detailed below.

These may stop Chronolator functions working. Standard Word features are unaffected.

<list of inconsistencies>

Further Information

Information about the structure of a Chronolator Document is stored in document variables. Inconsistencies in this information might stop some Chronolator functions working. However, standard Word functions should not be affected.

Possible causes

The document is stored on a slow network.

Word might have ended abnormally when it last processed the document, causing internal inconsistencies.

Possible actions

If the document is on a slow network, close it and try opening it again. If that does not work, copy the document to your Desktop and work on that copy; remember to move it back to the network when you have finished.

If the document is indeed corrupted, open a valid Chronolator Document with the correct table headings (for example, the original document sent to you by an Administrator), and copy the contents of the problem document into it. Save this new document and use it from now on.

5402

Unable to create table

Chronolator cannot create a new table in this document because of following internal inconsistencies in its structure:

<list of inconsistencies>

Further Information

See Message 5400 for suggestions about how to resolve these inconsistencies.

5403

Unable to set styles

Chronolator could not set some document styles because the file appears to be locked by another user.

This will only affect the fonts used to display any error messages at the end of the document.

Further Information

If there are any error messages at the end of the document, they might not be displayed in the usual font.

Possible causes

Someone else is editing the document.

Suggested actions

Close the document and wait for the other person to close it as well. Reopen the document.
