Though I’ve done this automation in Delphi, this applies to automation from any development platform. In this particular project, the documents used Bookmarks. Those have changed over time, so has the Word support for it.
From Word 2000 until Word you could disable the showing of Bookmarks by setting the ShowBookmarks property to False like this:
<br />ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowBookmarks := False;<br />
Well, when doing this, Office 2013 can throw an error like this:
EOleException: The ShowBookmarks method or property is not available because this command is not available for reading
ErrorCode: 0x800A11FD
Source: Microsoft Word
HelpFile: wdmain11.chm
The full error message does not give any useful search results. But a partial search finds a Word 2013 issue towards the top of the results:
sometimes Words opens the document in Reading layout. Reading layout does not allow all operations in Word 2013.
If a document is protected, and you try to change something you should not, you get an error message like this:
This method or property is not available because the document is a protected document.
Usually, Cindy Meister is very accurate. However this time here code
...ActiveWindow.View = wdPrintView
should have been like
...ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
Of course you also have to save/restore this property while you are enabling the ShowBookmarks property.

Might need this one day:
I wrote a utility to decode the NTLM blobs that were sent in the IE and HttpWebRequest sessions.When I look at the HttpWebRequest and IE, they both request 56bit and 128bit encryption from the server.
…
In both IE/HttpWebRequest, they are requesting both 64 & 128bit security. However, for windows 7, 128bit security for NTLM has been made the default, and without that, authentication will fail. As you can see from the server response, the server is only supporting 64bit encryption.

I’m fighting some NTLM issues with a proxy server and this might come in handy one day: Connect to TFS 2013 Git Repository with LibGit2Sharp « Gáspár Nagy on software.

Though I’ve done this automation in Delphi, this applies to automation from any development platform. In this particular project, I had to update Word documents. That is fine, unless your documents are protected. You can find out if a document is protected by probing the ProtectionType property of a Document object.
If a document is protected, and you try to change something you should not, you get an error message like this:
This method or property is not available because the document is a protected document.
If you have control of the documents or templates involved, then you can take the recommended steps from Document Handling with protected Microsoft Office Word Template:
Microsoft Office Word offers the possibility to enable document protection only to certain sections of a document. So you can place Bookmarks used by Dynamics AX in a section that is kept unprotected and the Form Controls in a section where Document Protection is enabled.
If you don’t, then you have to check for protection, unprotect, do the modifications, then re-protect the document. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes cheap paper stuff beats having no tools at all.
Two things you can use with your Nikon:
For semi- or professional white balance, you’d probably use the WhiBal from Michael Tapes (the same guys that created LensAlign).

openssl s_client -connect localhost:443
I don’t have a Linux machine here, but this might work too:
gnutls www.somesite
And note that when using telnet, the hostnames must match:
$ openssl s_client -connect XXX.XX.XX.XXX:443
... connection information will be displayed …
GET / HTTP/1.1
host: XXX.XX.XX.XXXor
$ openssl s_client -connect www.example.com:443
... connection information will be displayed …
GET / HTTP/1.1
host: www.example.comDon’t MIX
Now I need to research how it works with a proxy… simulate a “connect http/1.1 443” proxy – Google Search.
