Using Chronolator Documents
Messages 3000 - 3999

Messages in this range are issued when Chronolator checks the tables in a Chronology.

3000

Errors found in document (n)

 

Rest the mouse over the box with a cross to see a brief description of each error.

Use the buttons on the Chronolator toolbar to go from one error to the next, or press the Go To List button to view a complete list.

When you have corrected the errors, press the Check Tables button again to remove the highlighting.

Further Information

You pressed the Check Tables button, and Chronolator has found n errors.

Errors are highlighted in Turquoise, Yellow, or Purple. You can scroll from one error to the next using the navigation buttons towards the right of the Chronolator toolbar, or see a complete list of them by pressing the button to the right of the navigation buttons.

Chronolator does not check for errors as you type, so you must Check Tables after making any corrections in order to remove the highlighting.

Possible causes

Refer to Check Table Error Codes for information about each error detected by Chronolator.

Possible actions

No immediate action is necessary, but you should ensure that all errors are corrected before returning or publishing the document.

 

3001

Some rows had the wrong number of columns - fix these first

 

Chronolator has corrected the number of columns in at least one row. However, it could not be sure which entry should go in which column. You should review these rows now and make sure their entries are in the right places.

It is important to do this now, because now that they have the right number of columns they will not be caught in future checks unless they have other errors.

For ease of identification, the corrected rows are displayed with white text on a purple background.

n duplicates found

 

You can use the buttons on the Chronolator toolbar to go from one duplicate to the next.

Further Information

Chronolator found n duplicated rows and highlighted them.

Possible actions

You can scroll from one duplicate to the next using the navigation buttons towards the right of the Chronolator toolbar.

 

3030

n duplicates deleted

 

 

Further Information

Chronolator found n duplicated rows and deleted them. The rows cannot be recovered.

Possible actions

If you want to be able to recover deleted rows in future, tick the Copy Deleted Rows option when deleting duplicates.

 

3031

n duplicates deleted

 

Chronolator has saved the deleted rows. Press the 'Go to List' button to view them.

Tip: to re-import them, save the list in a convenient location and use the c8ImportSpecial_1 macro. Refer to this message in the manuals for more information

Further Information

Chronolator found n duplicated rows and deleted them. The rows can be recovered.

Possible actions

Press Go to List to view the saved rows (if you have already moved on before reading this, you will find the document is open in the current Word session - look for 'Documentn' where n is a number).

Column widths in the saved list might be different from those in the Chronology Document, which can present a problem when copying them back in. There are a couple of ways to circumvent this:

  • if you want to recover every row and are working in a Composite Chronology:
    • save the list as a new document
    • press Advanced > c8ImportSpecial_1 to import the saved document without setting a Source Prefix
    • merge the tables
  • if you want to recover only selected rows or are working in an Internal Chronology:
    • in the saved list, select and copy the row(s) you want to recover
    • go back to the Chronology Document
    • add the same number of rows to the bottom of the chronology table
    • press in the first blank cell you added to the chronology table
    • paste the copied row(s)

 

3035

No duplicate rows

 

Chronolator has checked all the tables in this document and found no duplicated rows.

Further Information

Until Chronolator Version 3, identical rows separated by other non-blank rows were not identified as duplicates. From Version 3 onwards, duplicate rows will be found wherever they occur in a table.

 

3100

Chronolator table contains vertically merged cells

 

A Chronolator table in this document contains some vertically merged cells. The table will be ignored.

Use the Check Tables button to find the problem cells.

Further Information

A Chronolator table in the current document contains a cell which spans more than one row; this is called a 'vertically merged cell'. Chronolator is unable to process tables containing vertically merged cells.

Any other Chronolator tables in the document will be processed as usual.

Possible actions

Use the Check Tables button to find vertically merged cells.

Insert one or more rows. Copy and paste any required text into them, then delete the rows containing vertically merged cells.

 

3103

Chronolator table contains vertically merged cells

 

<document name>cannot be imported because a table in it contains some vertically merged cells.

Open the document and use its Check Tables button to find the problem cells.

Further Information

This message can be issued when you try to import a document into a new Composite Chronology.

A Chronolator table in the document being imported contains a cell which spans more than one row; this is called a 'vertically merged cell'. Chronolator is unable to process tables containing vertically merged cells.

Chronolator will not import a document containing any Chronolator tables with vertically merged cells into a new Composite Chronology.

Possible actions

After Import processing completes, open the problem document. Correct the problem as described under the 'Possible Actions' for Message 3100. Retry the Import.

 

3105

Chronolator table contains invalid rows

 

<document name> cannot be imported because a table in it contains some rows with the wrong number of columns.

Open the document and use its Check Tables button to find the problem rows.

Further Information

<document name> is a valid Chronolator Document, but a table in it has at least one row with the wrong number of columns.

Possible actions

Open the problem document. Press its Check Tables button and then take the actions suggested in Message 3001. Retry the Import.


 

3107

<process> processing cancelled - invalid table

 

Word failed to process a Chronolator table. No changes have been made to this document.

Retrying the process might succeed. If not, use the Check Tables button to find (and possibly automatically correct) the problem.

Further Information

In normal running, this message indicates that a Chronolator table contains at least one column with cells of varying widths. Chronolator is unable to run <process> on such tables.

This message can also occur under a peculiar set of circumstances with versions of Word prior to 2013. In that case, retrying <process>  can sometimes be successful.

The Chronolator document will be restored to the state it was in before <process>  processing began.

Possible actions

Retry <process>.

If that does not work, use the Check Tables button, which as part of its processing rebuilds the table, and then try <process>again.

If the problem persists, contact your administrator and ask them to request support.

 

3108

<process> processing cancelled - non-uniform table

 

At least one of the tables in this document has a row with the wrong number of columns. Please correct this and try again.

Hint: Use Check Tables to find the problem.

Further Information

Chronolator has found a table which, although it has the correct headings, contains at least one row with the wrong number of columns.

Possible causes

Cells have been merged.

A row has been added with the wrong number of columns.

Possible actions

Open the offending document and press Check Tables. Chronolator will correct any rows with the wrong number of columns and highlight them. You should check that Chronolator has put the relevant information in the right columns before saving the corrected document.

 

3110

Chronolator table contains nested table

 

A Chronolator table in this document contains at least one nested table. The table will be ignored.

Use the Check Tables button to find the nested table(s).

Further Information

A Chronolator table in the current document contains a cell which in turn contains a nested table. Chronolator is unable to process such tables.

Any other Chronolator tables in the document will be processed as usual.

Possible actions

Use the Check Tables button to find nested tables. Having found one, select it and convert it to text. Cut and paste information into the correct columns.


 

3113

Chronolator table contains nested table

 

<document name> cannot be imported because a table in it contains at least one nested table.

Open the document and use its Check Tables button to find the nested table(s).

Further Information

A Chronolator table in <document name>  table contains a cell which in turn contains a nested table. Chronolator is unable to process such tables.

Nothing will be imported.

Possible actions

Open <document name>  and use its Check Tables button to find nested tables. Having found one, select it and convert it to text. Cut and paste information into the correct columns. Retry the import.

 

3120

Chronolator table contains unexpected number of rows

Expected: m Found: n:

 

When Word prepared the table for processing, it did not find the expected number of rows.

No data will have been lost, but some might be misplaced (either on its own new row, or appended to the previous row).

Further Information

To make some of its processes faster, Chronolator gets Word to store tables in an internal array.

This message is issued if the number of elements in the array does not match the number of rows in the table.

Possible actions

If you encounter this message after pressing the Check Tables button, look for any rows that are highlighted in purple, or check the error list for error code c8n100.

If it occurs in other circumstances, pressing the Check Tables button might show other errors resulting from the potentially misplaced data (for example, invalid dates).

If Check Tables shows no errors, look through the document for misplaced data.

 

3200

Bulleted or Numbered list has been reformatted

 

A Chronolator table in this document contained some bulleted or numbered lists. These can cause problems when documents are merged. The bullets or numbers have been removed.

Rather than using Word's list features, you could use 'o' characters or dashes for bullets, or use ordinary numbers.
