How to fix "object/block variable not set" error in VBA?
I'm using VBA in Word 2013. My OS is Win10. I'm having a problem with macros that I created that will no longer work. When I click to run them, I get: "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set." I have no idea what the problem could be. These macros ran fine before. Then, this started happening. For example, here's a very simply-written one to zoom out in order to be able to see 5 pages at once in Word: Sub Five_Page_View() ' ' Zoom 45% to see 5 pages ' ' ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 45 End Sub Used to work. Now, doesn't. I get the error above. Why? Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Thanks!
Laptop won't sleep
Hello, Got a new HP Victus 16 laptop with a windows 11 installed. Windows is up to date - however, every time I try to put the laptop to sleep, it won't, but the screen goes black, as I have to do it 2-3 times until the light indicator on the laptop flashes. However, if it did sleep, I can still hear the fans going on, compared to an old business HP laptop with Windows 10, which goes to sleep perfectly without issues, and the fans are halted. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
Request to Consolidate Microsoft Learn Profiles and Access Certifications
Hello Microsoft Support, I have two Microsoft Learn profiles linked to different accounts: email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons. I cannot access all my certification achievements or download my certificates. Please help consolidate these profiles so all learning history and certifications are associated with a single account, preferably email address removed for privacy reasons.

Certificate not showing up in Microsoft Learn account after passing exam
Hello all, Very sorry if I have posted this to the wrong place, but I cannot figure out how to get help to get my certification into my Microsoft Learn account. I have passed my exam, received an email that "Congratulations on passing your Exam" with a link to my Microsoft Learn account, but the certificate itself I cannot locate there. In my Microsoft Learn profile it also says that I have passed 10 exams (including the one I am looking for now), but I only have 9 certifications (surely because the one I'm looking for is missing). How can I get my certificate into my Microsoft Learn account? Or who can I contact about this, and how? Thanks in advance!Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Round up 9/4

Greetings! Microsoft is considering a certification for AI Workplace Fundamentals, and we need your input through our exam blueprinting survey. Note that we are changing the target audience to be more technical in nature. Think new to a technical role vs. new to tech in general, so you may notice different verbs and emphasis on what candidates need to know and understand as you complete the survey. The blueprint determines how many questions each skill in the exam will be assigned. Please complete the online survey by September 10, 2025. Please also feel free to forward the survey to any colleagues you consider subject matter experts for this certification. You may send this to people external to Microsoft as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact John Sowles at josowles@microsoft.com.

New to IT Help Desk - Looking for Beginner-Friendly Resources
Hello! I'm Julia, just started out in the IT field. Right now, I'm learning the fundamentals of computer hardware and networking, and I joined this community to grow with others who are passionate about tech. If anyone has recommendations for beginner-friendly resources, I'd love to hear them! 🙂Microsoft Teams Loop Feature Request: Automatic Subpage Navigation Links
Feature Overview Request: Add automatic subpage linking functionality to Microsoft Loop that dynamically updates a master/parent page with links to all related subpages. Problem Statement Currently, when users create multiple Loop pages within a workspace or project, there's no automatic way to maintain a centralized navigation system. Users must manually: Copy and paste links between pages Remember to update master pages when creating new subpages Maintain navigation consistency across related pages Keep track of all related pages in large projects This creates maintenance overhead and inconsistent navigation across Loop workspaces. Proposed Solution Auto-Navigation Component Add a new Loop component called "Navigation Links" or "Subpage Directory" that: Automatically detects when new subpages are created within the same workspace Dynamically updates the master page with formatted links to new subpages Categorizes subpages by type, tags, or user-defined groups Maintains link validity and removes broken/deleted page references #MicrosoftLoop #ProductFeedback #Automation #Productivity #Navigation

We are having an issue where some users cannot log back into windows 11 after going to a lock screen. Windows will tell you the password or username is incorrect even though the credentials are defiantly correct. The only solution I've found so far is to reboot the machine. What could be causing this? Our users are loosing unsaved work from having to reboot through out the day.

Hi Reaching out to you as I found that one of my certifications does not appear on my MS Learn profile. The thing is that originally, I got AZ-400 a few years back. Last year I forgot to do the renewal on November 2024 and got expired. On February 2025 I decided to retake the exam and obtained the certification. However, when I see my MS Learn profile, I only see the expired certification. Not the new one. Can you help me to get the new certification listed on my profile? Thanks in advance.
Dynamic Adaptive Cards
Hello, I'm a teacher and currently trying to build a co-pilot agent for self assessment of an exam or many exams. Therefore I build a Sharepoint list with all the competences for every exam (or more likely going to). With the help of a flow I create a code for an adaptive card. Now I use this flow in a copilot agent to create an adaptive card in a conversation, where the student can do the self assessment. So far I was able to show the adaptive card as I want to but struggling to get the answers of the user. Because I don't create the adaptive card in the topic on it's own but use the output of the flow as a variable, I think some things get a bit more complicated (please correct me if I'm wrong) This would be a part of the JSON of my adaptive card, which I create through the flow. And again the competences are different depending on the exam, so I will always have different id's and I don't know how to handle this. (I cut off some of the items.) { "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "version": "1.5", "actions": [ { "type": "Action.Submit", "id": "submitSelfAssessment", "title": "Antworten senden", "data": { "action": "submitSelfAssessment", "examId": "Klausur_Vektorrechnung" }, "associatedInputs": "auto" } ], "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Selbsteinschätzung - Klausur_Vektorrechnung", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Large" }, { "type": "Container", "style": "emphasis", "items": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Koordinatensysteme", "weight": "Bolder" }, { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "ans_Koordinatensysteme_Zeichnen", "style": "expanded", "label": "Zeichnen von einem dreidimensionalen Koordinatensystem. ", "choices": [ { "title": "Sehr unsicher", "value": "1" }, { "title": "Eher unsicher", "value": "2" }, { "title": "Mittel", "value": "3" }, { "title": "Eher sicher", "value": "4" }, { "title": "Sehr sicher", "value": "5" } ], "isMultiSelect": false, "wrap": true }, { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "ans_Koordinatensysteme_Punkte", "style": "expanded", "label": "Ich kann Punkte in ein Koordinatensystem eintragen und die Koordinaten richtig ablesen. ", "choices": [ { "title": "Sehr unsicher", "value": "1" }, { "title": "Eher unsicher", "value": "2" }, { "title": "Mittel", "value": "3" }, { "title": "Eher sicher", "value": "4" }, { "title": "Sehr sicher", "value": "5" } ], "isMultiSelect": false, "wrap": true }, { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "ans_Koordinatensysteme_AbstandMittelpunkt", "style": "expanded", "label": "Ich kann Abstände und Mittelpunkte berechnen", "choices": [ { "title": "Sehr unsicher", "value": "1" }, { "title": "Eher unsicher", "value": "2" }, { "title": "Mittel", "value": "3" }, { "title": "Eher sicher", "value": "4" }, { "title": "Sehr sicher", "value": "5" } ], "isMultiSelect": false, "wrap": true } ] }, { "type": "Container", "style": "emphasis", "items": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Vektoren", "weight": "Bolder" }, { "type": "Input.ChoiceSet", "id": "ans_Vektoren_Definition", "style": "expanded", "label": "Ich kenne die Definition des Begriffes Vektor und kann den Unterschied zu Pfeilen erklären. ", "choices": [ { "title": "Sehr unsicher", "value": "1" }, { "title": "Eher unsicher", "value": "2" }, { "title": "Mittel", "value": "3" }, { "title": "Eher sicher", "value": "4" }, { "title": "Sehr sicher", "value": "5" } ], "isMultiSelect": false, "wrap": true }, I put this into the adaptive card with the expression. Topic.karte is the name of the output variable of the flow. It has the string Version of the code above. And it seems to work, because I can see the adaptive card in the chat. JSON(ParseJSON(Topic.karte)) But now I have no clue how I can get the answers of the self assessment. I created an output: kind: Record properties: Output: type: kind: Record Now I created a message with the expression: JSON(Topic.Output) The message I get is zero. So my conclusion is that it doesn't safe the output correctly. But I have no clue how to fix it or where the actual problem is. So I would be really thankful for any help or advice or some link where I can get some help. And if I did something really stupid, please be gentle to me, I'm just a teacher :D Best regards
