And I've deleted the second one because it had personal info in there
-
The formatting on my post messed up, so I deleted and reposted so it's easier to read.

So I did as you said and disabled spell check as they type, but it's still crashes a lot when they press the spell check button. There's also no log files in Temp, do I need to enable debug for this?
-
Ah understood, I didn't understand that you meant these were related.
-
The student that had the linespacing issue as had it happen again. Double linespacing was definately there when I closed and re-opened the document. I've left it for the time being as don't want to disturb the exam any further.
-
I can give it a try if it happens again. Also it seems to crash when a user right clicks on a word.
-
Two things - 1) Had several more crashes with Spellcheck. Menu bar etc still resposive and can you save, just the window with text is unresponsive. Closing down and re-opening fixes the issue. 2) Had a new document open without double linespacing, despite it being enabled as default in the config. Double Linespacing was applied when the document was closed and re-opened. We're using the latesest version.
-
Also something to note, I've had issues printing when I customised some of the items under Exam Boards. I reverted the options back to default and printing worked fine.
-
Do you have Top Most Priority enabled? I had the same issue when we first started using EWP and I found this to be the cause. Switching DisableTopMostPriority to 1 fixed it for me.
-
Had the exact same issue with the right click menu. Only when spellcheck was enabled. Also running off the network. Using latest version of EWP.
-
Just had an error during an exam. The information at the bottom of the screen dissappeared and replaced with a red box. The computer still had connection to the network and was still saving. The information appeared again after closing the application down and re-opening. One thing to note, the student pressed cancel when first prompted to save. Might be related to that? I've uploaded a screenshot of the issue.

Just noticed the forum removed some characters which would cause the script to not work. I should've used the code tag #Variables# $source = "" #Folder containing exam files $centreName = "" #Centre Name $fnAppend = "(NEW)" #Append text to filename (Also creates a new folder with name to save files in) $replace = "" #Line from file that you want to replace $replaceWith = "$centreName" #No need to edit #Variables# # DO NOT EDIT # if(!($source.EndsWith("\"))){$source = $source + "\" } $fileDestination = $source + $fnAppend + "\" if(!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $fileDestination)){ New-Item -Path $fileDestination -ItemType Directory } foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem -Path $source -File)){ $a = Get-Content -Path $file.FullName $a = $a -replace $replace,$replaceWith Out-File -FilePath $($fileDestination + $file.BaseName + "(NEW)" + $file.Extension) -InputObject $a -Encoding utf8 -Force }

Whipped up a little Poweshell script for you if needed. Dump all the files into a folder and replace with the folder path and with your center name (Make sure you don't delete the quotes). Paste code into Powershell ISE and run - #Variables# $source = "" #Folder containing exam files $centreName = "" #Centre Name $fnAppend = "(NEW)" #Append text to filename (Also creates a new folder with name to save files in) $replace = "" #Line from file that you want to replace $replaceWith = "$centreName" #No need to edit #Variables# # DO NOT EDIT # if(!($source.EndsWith(""))){$source = $source + "" } $fileDestination = $source + $fnAppend + "" if(!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $fileDestination)){ New-Item -Path $fileDestination -ItemType Directory } foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem -Path $source -File)){ $a = Get-Content -Path $file.FullName $a = $a -replace $replace,$replaceWith Out-File -FilePath $($fileDestination + $file.BaseName + "(NEW)" + $file.Extension) -InputObject $a -Encoding utf8 -Force }
-
How many older files do you have? If they're not encrypted, you could always open them up in Notepad and add the Centre Name in manually. Could even script it, should be easy enough if you're familiar with Powershell.
-
It wasn't a serious request. No Idea why it's needed, I was just asked if Exam Write Pad could do it, and if not I'd have to come up with another solution by the 10th Supposedly it's been required every year, however this is the first time anyone has ever said anything about it.
-
Any chance you could implement tables and insetion of images by 10th June? This is a joke. What's not a joke, is that I'm going to have to come up with a different solution that allows this functionality Looks like I'm back to creating documents in Word again

Recommendations Required

ABTutor is a bargain for what you pay for. However we had major issues with Version 9. This was in October, so they may have fixed the issues by now. -
Nice. Finally a built-in tabbed experience. Now if they could just do the same for Explorer
-
I noticed on VLSC, Visual Studio 2019 has this message - I take it Microsoft is pushing us to use the free Community version rather than Professional/Enterprise unless we're willing to pay for the subscription?
-
I've finally managed to get it working. For anybody else experiencing this problem and looking for a possible solution, it worked for me when I configured provisioning from https://portal.azure.com rather than https://aad.portal.azure.com. Gotta love Microsoft :/

I think our finance director had a minor stroke when he saw the quote for Visigo. The argument that it basically replaces a full role wasn't enough. Maybe one day

Again, I don't get listened to because I'm not the Safeguarding Officer, I've not had any training (other than in-house training from the DSL) and I'm not the one that's supposedly talked to governing bodies about these things. It's common practice in this place, sometimes it feels like who you report to is more valued than how qualified your opinions are.
-
I'd like to, unfortunately it's one of those situations where what they say goes and they're not interest in anything that challenges that.
-
Thanks for your reply, Jon. That's good to hear, I just need to convince our DSL to give Senso a look. The problem is, some government body recommended Impero and told her it's the only product that would gives us instant satisfactory for safeguarding when it comes to Ofsted inspections. To me it sounds like she spoke to an Impero sales rep It's a little frustrating for me as the research I've put in and I believe Senso to be the better option. However it all falls on deaf ears because the DSL is insisting Impero.
