2003 On a Standalone and Help

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 08:01 PM PDT

MS Office 2003 still comes with offline help.
If you have a test copy installed you can turn off
the online settings through the choices under
Help=>Customer Feedback options
to see the difference.

We're going to be installing Office 2003 on a couple of public access
standalone computers with no network access.

How does help work in this kind of situation when there's no facilty
to get online help?

thanks >>

Disks may deteriorate over time, just like any other organic material. They
may also be effect by changes in temperature, light exposure, etc. Also
suggest you *follow* the suggestion to keep all comments to the same thread,
as suggested above, if you expect to get reasonable replies....

CD's not reading

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 06:35 PM PDT

I think you're saying it reads other disks, but not the CD
for O2k and Office 97. Is that correct?

Will it read other MS application CDs? Publisher, whatever
else you might have?

What are the disks it won't read? Are they Application CDs
like 97? Or are they music, games, etc.?

If it's only 2 original (or copied original?) CDs it won't
read, then those CDs might indeed have problems that a good
cleaning might help. It's even worth trying to have someone
else's machine try to read them - sometimes it'll work so
they could be copied for you.
Check Google for how to clean CDs if you don't know how:
eg , never wipe along the write path, always wipe from the
inside to the outside, soft lintfree, detergents that can be
used, etc.. I've been able to recover a couple of
surprisingly scratched up CDs that way. If they're archival
copies, with printed adhesive labels, it's possible the
disks are beyond use due to chemical problems with some
adhesives that are used on the labels. Learned that the
hard way too! Info on that can be found at langa.com, other
places I can't think of now.

Sandy Hammer,
Did you buy your computer with a trial version of Office 2003 installed? Standard or Basic?
This article may help:
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836178
It describes the error message you are recieving and the solution. You will need your Office Professional 2003 software to reinstall.

SP2 or SP3?

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 11:30 AM PDT

Hi Doreen,

Well, far as experience goes, I've had no problems with
either. Donwloaded SP2 shortly after it came out, and SP3 a
few weeks ago, not sure of the exact date but fairly
recently. At least in this location, one on XP Pro, the
other on XP Home, networked, I've seen no problems and a few
times identified (due to info found on ng's) things that it
seemed to have improved. There are a few improvements in
both of them, some added menu items here & there, pretty
simple but generally useful stuff. Most of the work in them
is behind the scenes, of course, so there isn't a lot of
obvious changes.
I do not game, but I do manage web sites, do video
editing for the public (ceremonies, etc), and write a fair
number of technical papers and reports both freelance and
government apps. So, there could be problems I wouldn't
have seen in other areas, so that's for what it's worth
info. SP3 does seem to have a decent rep though, and is
in general mundane to the casual user. The only apps I
haven t' used much since SP3 are Access and PowerPoint.

I'm still curious why you would want to have SP2 instead
of SP3 though, but that's your own business, not mine <g>.
I believe in the SP3 simply becuase it has more "fixes" in
it beyond what was in 2. Normaly what I do with things like
that is take note when it's released, whether there was a
beta or not, and then read the horror stories etc. that
occur which are attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the new
package. You have to keep in mind when you're reading the
horror stories that happy people don't write in - just the
unhappy, and as often as not, the perceived problem caused
by the pack is off base or they just have a gripe to air,
etc.. But when similar threads about similar problems start
to pile up, you can generally believe them and make your own
judgement whether to donwload it now or wait and hope for a
fix to the fix to be issued, which does happen on occasion.
At the moment I cannot think of anything in either that
would have an SP as a source.

OEM vs retail

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 04:13 AM PDT

Maybe I will Donny, but I won't go around insulting people who try to help
me, or pretend to be upset when people criticized people who do. And I
certainly won't be a name calling phony like you.

Thanks,
I am aware of the OEM's according to policy long as they send it with a
peice of hardward working or not.
If you catch an auction at the right time, I can get the full, if i catch it
right.
Just wanted to make sure that it will update without disturbing my email and
other files for word, and publisher,

Office 2003 renames "My Documents" to username's Documents, why?

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 05:02 PM PDT

I'm afraid I don't know why your exclusion isn't working.

The "show folder owner's name" feature is introduced by Windows. The hidden
"Desktop.ini" file in the user's "My Documents" folder contains an Owner=
key which sets the display name.

So, if you make the line:

Owner=Pickles

And you then look at the parent folder in Explorer, you'll see a folder
named "Pickles's documents". Sorta silly.

See

for more info on this feature.

Publisher setup problem

They are *NOT* the 
Right. Sometimes you find both numbers on the same COA, as
in my case, and sometimes they are in separate places,
usually on the CD sleeves. In my case, they're together on
the same label, BUT it doesn't say which is which - it
wasn't until I installed Publisher that I figured out what
the seconds number was for.

Luck!
