Important! A known issue and how to avoid it

There's a known issue with customer engagement apps apps-generated Word templates and Office Word. In the next section, you'll be adding XML content control fields to the Word template.

Warning

A few things can cause Word to freeze, requiring you to use Task Manager to stop Word:

  • You insert a content control other than Picture or Plain Text.
  • You make a textual change, such as changing the capitalization or adding text, to a content control. These changes can occur through AutoCorrect as well as user edits. By default, Microsoft Word AutoCorrect capitalizes sentences. When you add a content control field, Word sees it as a new sentence and will capitalize it when focus shifts away from the field.

To prevent issues with control fields, do the following:

To prevent issues with control fields, do the following:

Only add fields as Plain Text or Picture

  1. You use the XML Mapping Pane to add entity fields to your Word template. Be sure to only add fields as Plain Text or Picture.

Do not make any textual changes to the added content control

  1. You can make formatting changes to content control fields, such as bolding the text, but no other textual changes, including capitalization changes.

    If you experience Word freezing or performance degradation, try turning off AutoCorrect.

Turn off AutoCorrect

  1. With the template file open in Word, go to File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options.

  2. Deselect Capitalize first letter of sentences and Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker.

  3. Deselect Hyphens (--) with dash (-) on the AutoFormat and AutoFormat as You Type tabs.

  4. Click OK.

    If you followed the above recommendations, you're ready to define the Word template.

Step 3: Define the Word template

Use the XML Mapping Pane to define the Word template with entity fields.

  1. In your Word template, click Developer > XML Mapping Pane.

    The default XML schema is selected.

  2. Select the XML schema. It will begin with 'urn:microsoft-crm/document-template/'.

    Important

    If you have frequent accidental edits that cause Word to freeze or have performance degradation, be sure to turn off the AutoCorrect options according to the section: 'A known issue and how to avoid it'.

  3. Expand the entity, right-click the entity field, and then click Insert Content Control > Plain Text.

    The entity field is added to the Word template.

    Add additional entity fields, add descriptive labels and text, and format the document.

    A completed template might look like this:

    Some content control fields you entered likely have multiple lines of data. For example, accounts have more than one contact. To include all the data in your Word template, set the content control field to repeat.

Set content control fields to repeat

  1. Put fields with repeating data in a table row.

  2. Select the entire table row in the template.

  3. In the XML Mapping Pane, right-click the relationship containing the content control fields, and then click Repeating.

    When you use the Word template in customer engagement apps to create a document, the table will populate with multiple rows of data.

    When the template has the fields and formatting you want, save it and upload it into customer engagement apps.

Step 4: Upload the Word template back into customer engagement apps

When you have your Word template built the way you want, save it so you can upload it into customer engagement apps.

Access to the newly created Word template depends on how you uploaded it and to the access granted to the security role. Be sure to check out Use Security Roles to control access to templates.

Administrators can use the Settings page to upload the Word template into customer engagement apps. A template uploaded in Settings is available to all users in your organization.

For admins: Upload the Word template into customer engagement apps

  1. Go to Settings > Templates > Document Templates.

  2. Click Upload Template.

  3. Drag the Word file in the dialog box or browse to the file.

  4. Click Upload.

    Non-admin users can upload a template for their own use from a list of records.

For non-admins or admins wanting to create a personal template: Upload the Word template into customer engagement apps

  1. Open a page with a list of records, for example, the list of customer accounts in Sales.

  2. Select a single item such as an account, click More () > Word Templates > Create Word Template.

  3. Click Word Template > Upload.

  4. Drag the Word file in the dialog box or browse to the file.

  5. Click Upload.

Step 5: Generate a document from the Word template

To use the Word template you've created, do the following:

  1. Open a record with information you want to create a document. For example, open a customer account record in Sales.

  2. Click More () > Word Templates, and then under Word Templates select the template you created.

    If the template you created is not visible, there are two possibilities:

    1. Only templates built for the selected record type (entity) will be displayed. For example, if you open an opportunity record, you will not see a template you created with the Account entity.

    2. You need to refresh customer engagement apps to see the template. Either refresh your browser or close and reopen customer engagement apps.

    After you select your Word template, customer engagement apps create a Word document from the record you selected.

Try out the sample Word templates

There are five Word templates included with customer engagement apps.

The sample Word templates were created with a particular record type (entity). You'll only be able to apply the template to records of the same record type.

Dec 19, 2016 While convenient for navigation, the touchpad can be a nuisance when typing on your Dell XPS laptop. Slight contact between the heel of your palm and the touchpad can move your cursor to unpredictable areas, which makes typed text appear in the wrong place. To avoid such problems, disable your touchpad. Dell xps disable touchpad laptop. May 15, 2020 Locate the Dell Touchpad tab. When the highlighted tab is not the Dell Touchpad tab, perform the following steps: Press the Tab key until one of the tabs at the top is active (it should have a box around it). Using the left or right arrow keys make Dell Touchpad the active tab (a picture of a touchpad should be showing). The F3 alone doesn't disable touchpad. Fn+F3 turns on the orange light of the touchpad, but doesn't disable. The erratic cursor is better, sometimes it moves but I don't know if it is coused by my hand when is very close to the touchpad (maybe it becomes more sensitive). I updated everything from Dell. The touchpad is still unable to be disabled. For my Win 10 XPS 13. In search, type in 'touchpad.' That brings up mouse and touchpad settings. Use these settings: Touchpad: On. Leave touchpad on when a mouse is connected: Off. With these settings, the touchpad works when no mouse is connected, and is automatically disabled when a mouse is connected. When I have an USB mouse attached to my XPS 17 and type on the internal keyboard, I often touch the touchpad which places the cursor somewhere else on the screen. This is quite annoying and would be solved if I could disable the touchpad. Sadly, I can't find a place to disable the touchpad.

You can review but not edit templates that are included in customer engagement apps.

Additional considerations

Use Security Roles to control access to templates

Administrators can control access to Word templates with some granularity. For example, you can give salespeople Read but not Write access to a Word template.

  1. Click Settings > Security > Security Roles.

  2. Select a role, and then click the Business Management tab.

  3. Select Document Template to set access for templates available to the entire organization. Select Personal Document Template for templates shared to individual users.

  4. Click the circles to adjust the level of access.

Lists in created documents are not in the same order as records

Lists of records created from a custom template may not appear in the same order in Word documents as the order in customer engagement apps. Records are listed in the order of the time and date they were created.

How to create Microsoft Word templates

You can build Microsoft Word templates on either Windows or your Mac by enabling the Developer tab. Once you have enabled that tab, under the Controls section you can add any content controls into your document (see below what is the list of currently supported controls). Use the control Properties to give the control a friendly name that you will use in the Power Automate. Once you are done creating your Word document, save it to one of the document libraries supported by Microsoft Graph: OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Sites, and Office 365 Groups.

Now, you can start building the flow. Add the Populate a Microsoft Word template action to your flow, and when you select that file you should see a list of all the controls that you added. Populate these fields with values you'll want to insert in the new Microsoft Word Document. Finally, you can then use the outputs of the action and send an email, save the document to another location, or any number of other actions.

Currently Supported Content Controls

  • Plain Text Content Control
  • Combo Box Content Control
  • Drop-Down List Content Control
  • Image Content Control

Guide for using Repeating Section Content Control in the Word Online connector.

We're enabling repeating tables in the Word Online connector. When creating a template in Word, you need to add the Repeating Section Content Control. This is the control in the developer tab that helps us create a repeating table. Repeating Section Content Control enables users to repeat rows in a table and plain text. Here is a guide to work with the Repeating Section Content Control:

  1. To make a template with repeating text: First add a Repeating Section Content Control from the developer tab. Then add Plain Text Content Controllers within the parent repeat content controller. Any text that is outside a nested content controller would be static. While adding the nested content controllers, make sure to go to properties and add a unique title for them. For example, if the template looks like I would like to a and b Then the user can dynamically change the values of a and b.

  2. To add a repeating row to the template, simply add a table, select the full row (which you want to repeat) and select the repeat content controller from the developer tab. Now you can add nested plain text content controllers in the columns that you want to be dynamic. While adding the nested content controllers, make sure to go to properties and add a unique title for them.

  3. Once you have added a Repeating Section Content Control, the nested content controllers would show up in the Word connector action. You can click on the 'Add new item' button to add a new row. If the number of rows you want is dynamic, then user should make a array of values and pass it into the repeat field. For example, a valid array for the above example would look like:[{'a': 'value for row 1', 'b': 'value for row 1'}, {'a': 'value for row 2', 'b': 'value for row 2'}]Here the keys of the objects are the titles of the nested content controllers. Hence, adding a unique title is necessary. This array can be easily constructed using the 'Select' data operation by mapping the values of an array with data to the input array.

Additional notes:

  • To format the table simply format the text and table in the template and the formatting would persist in the generated document.
  • If there is no title for a nested content controller in repeat, it would be get a random title.
  • If there is a duplicate title, both the content controllers will be replaced with the same content

Guide for using Images in the Word Online connector.

  1. Add an Image content controller in your template. Don't delete the placeholder image. You can re-size and re-position it.
  2. Add a title property to the image content controller so that you can easily identify it in the Power Automate designer.
  3. When the image field shows up in the designer, add file contents of a JPG or PNG image as the value. The value should look like this:{'$content-type': 'image/png','$content': 'iVBORw0KG..i/DhQmCC'}where the content is the base64 encoded image.

Guide for formatting the generated Word document in the Word Online connector.

Any formatting done on text, image or table in the template would persist in the generated document. To add formatting to an empty content controller, you can go to properties of the content controller and check the 'Use a style to format text typed into the empty control'. Then you can add new styling.
