Step 1: Open Microsoft Word, navigate to the DocumentsCorePack TemplateDesigner by clicking the ❶ www.mscrm-addons.com-tab and open the ❷ DocumentsCorePack Settings.

Step 3: In the ribbon of the DocumentsCorePack TemplateDesigner you can find the following three options:

❶ Open LOG Folder
❷ Delete LOG Files
❸ Open latest Debug

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to delete all Log files before you recreate the error by repeating all steps you took until the error occurs. Then click on Open LOG Folder and send the files, including the files from the Extended Folder to our support team with a brief description of what steps were taken. We also recommend sending the files as a .zip-file.

Troubleshooting

No access to DocumentsCorePack Settings

If you are unable to open the DocumentsCorePack TemplateDesigner due to an error or other issue, debugging can be enable in an alternative way.

Open the Registry Editor (e.g., via the Microsoft search pane) and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > PTM EDV-Systeme > DocumentsCorePackclient2011.

Open Registry Editor

Right-click in the DocumentsCorePackclient2011 registry tree and create a new string value with the value name set to “debug” and the value data set to “true“. Confirm with [OK].

Value name is debug and Value data is true for new string

Locating errors and warnings in the Event Viewer

In some circumstances, we may need information recorded within the Windows Event Viewer to determine particular issues.

After opening the Event Viewer, navigate to the ❶ Windows Logs and select either the ❷ Application or ❸ System elements.

Under these elements, check for any noticeable logged errors that occurred during the time of a given issue.  If an error has been found, select the log and save it by navigating to the Action tab and selecting Save Selected Events.

Saving a selected event.  Multiple events may also be selected and saved.

The saved file can be sent to our support team for further investigation.
