Office XP error after Office 2003 update

Posted: 02 Feb 2006 02:53 PM PST

Thanks for the advice. I'd already tried this. MSO XP repair flips the
strings around and Excel 2002 help works. MSO 2003 repair flips them back so
everything fails again.

The files aren't overwritten. MSO XP files are in the office10 subfolder
and MSO 2003 files are in the office11 subfolder. My theory has Office
components identified by a component guid and a version guid. This method
isn't used with these registry values. There is just a component guid and
any version information is in each of the REG_MULTI_SZ strings and something
in MSO XP is assuming the first string is the one it wants, I think. MSO
2003 may be doing it right.

Sorry - I am of the "teach a man to fish" school of assistance. Use Windows
Help files.

Office 2000 Uninstall - What is the admin path?

Posted: 30 Jan 2006 02:40 PM PST

The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it. However this seems to be an "add or
remove programs" error message rather than one from the installer itself.

Just to summerise

I click remove
Setup asks for disc
I enter the disc
Then comes up with "The feature you are trying to use is on a network
resource that is unavailable" error message and gives option to browse for it
I click ok
"The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the
source exists and that you can access it." is displayed
End.

Enforcing Grayscale print

Posted: 30 Jan 2006 03:45 AM PST

Hi Hallstein,

You may want to also post this in the Powerpoint newsgroup (link below) and include the version(s) of Powerpoint and the Printer
model you are using when posting there.

=========
<<"hallstein" <yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
A dozen of my users prints powerpoint presentations each day. The
presentations are in color, but our printers are black and white.
However the setting Grayscale does not produce the same output as the
default (e.g. blue backgrounds are removed and it is less hungry on the
print toner).

I would like to enforce grayscale printing for Powerpoint, however I
cannot find any setting at "Custom Installation Wizard" or registry
change. Also, no option seem to be available inside Powerpoint, as this
setting is saved per printer?

I see that something is saved in a .PIP file ( C:\Documents and
Settings\hallstein\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\PowerP10.pip) when
I alter this per printer, but this is a binary file that I am not
allowed to tweak I guess-

So, anybody out there with the knowledge I obviously lack? :) >>

office 2003 standard to pro

Posted: 29 Jan 2006 02:53 PM PST

Both are retail copies so everything should be okay. Installed the
office 2003 pro and was relieved to see all my data still there without
having to use the backup copies that I had made.

Thanks to all for a great resource for users.

Office home user program and new computer

Posted: 28 Jan 2006 01:53 AM PST

Hi Zook,

You may want to check with your company administrator on this one on how they are tracking their license count for Home Use
licensing under their MS Volume Software License Agreement.

======== 
Hi
I put together a new computer and want to install office pro 2003 (cd from
home user program). This has been activated on my old system (which is now in
pieces). As it will only be installed on one machine can I not activate it
again on the new PC? <<

EULA question on upgrades

Posted: 27 Jan 2006 01:58 PM PST

Hi Doug,

Office 2003 'upgrade' editions are retail packages and have retail licenses. You should be able to use an OEM Office CD from a
previous Office edition as the qualifying product to install the Office 2003 retail product on another PC, but you won't be able to
move the OEM Office XP copy to another machine.

========

I have a question about purchasing the Office 2003 Professional Upgrade from
a retail store and applying it to an Office XP Professional acquired via an
OEM license.

Does the Office 2003 Professional Upgrade edition also upgrade my original
OEM license to a retail EULA? In other words, if I upgrade to 2003, do I
then get the right to remove the Office XP from the machine it was purchased
with, then install the 2003 edition on another machine? >>
