The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to change default font in Lotus Notes for a group of users?

Asked by mctcallcentre in Lotus Notes

I came across this solution in EE before but unable to find the thread again.
Basically I need to change the default font in Lotus Notes for our group of users.
I have tried the following suggested solution, but it didn't work. The font just did not change after we created the button. I have tried many font size as well but still didn't work.

At first I thought this may due to my signature which superseded this default font, however even after removing my signature and closed & reopened the client, it just didn't work.

FYI, my users are using Lotus Notes 6.5. Appreciate your advice to address this.

Thanks!

===================================================
1. Create a mail memo (save as draft so you can access it later)
2. Write your instructions of what you want them to do.
3. In the next line in the Body field of the memo, Select File>>Create>>Hotspot>>Button.
4. A small button will appear in the Body of the memo, and a Button dialog box will open.
5. Add a label to your button like: Please Click Here to Change Your Font. And configure the text properties using the rest of the tabs.
6. Close or move the dialog, so you can see the formula editor pane below the mail memo. You should see the "Label" you just typed, along
with a split editor pane.
In the right side, there is "Run: Client" and "formula" and space below those two fields to enter a formula.

Paste into that space:
@Environment( "StaticFont1" ; "Arial|0|26");
@Prompt([OK];"Font Changed!";"Thank you! The next time you open Notes the default font will be changed to Arial")

7. Click the Checkmark at the top of this pane to save and check the formula.
8. Click anywhere in the BODY of the memo to return to the memo. The editor pane will close.
9. Save the memo as draft, and then make a copy of that draft (else when you send it, you will have to go searching for it in the "sent folder" if you need to send it again).
10. Send it to a test PC that has some other default font set (you may want to set a visibly different font first on this PC so you can see the difference and if the button works). Run many tests.
