Office 2007 Upgrade

Posted: 16 Mar 2007 09:14 AM PDT

JoAnn's information was correct. If an upgrade edition of MS Office does not find a qualifying product install it will ask you to
provide the original product CD of a qualifying product.

Problem with Activation

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 12:31 PM PDT

I did, they had never heard of this problem either. I called Microsoft, they
said since it's OEM, I would have to pay $49.00 to talk to someone. That's
why I am here.

Installation Problem Office 2000

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 09:21 AM PDT

Hi Matthew,

The .MSI file is only available on the original product CD, it's not available from Microsoft as a download and MS no longer has
Office 2000 CD versions available. Office 2000 was released then
re-released twice

Office 2000 (original)
Office 2000 with SR1 Service Release
Office 2000 with SR2 Service Release

The updates were also provided in .MSP patch versions both in download and CD patch disks. Once the Service Release (SR1a) was
installed then the way the Installer saw things you it would report that you had Office 2000 SR1, but 'knew' that your CD would be
the original one. That SR1 is appearing in the 'Use CD from' dialog box tends to indicate that the SR1 update was applied at some
point.

Be sure that the CD you have is for the same Edition (Premium) that is listed in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel
and that it's CD#1 (Premium is a 4 CD set).

One of the most common places where you'd run into the CD not being accepted is that the original installation is damaged (which,
unfortunately, requires the CD to repair). If you cannot complete a Repair/Reinstall of Office 2000 from the Microsoft Office 2000
listing in Add/Remove Programs then you may need to use the MS Installer cleanup utility, then restart the PC then reinstall and
repatch, but that can vary based on the exact error message you receive when trying to do the repair. Let us know what that is
please.

Peter,

This really doesn't answer my question. It is a link that I already have
and I mentioned that I downloaded the Sr-1a full version that this link
points to. It extracts a data1.MSP, not the .MSI that the program is looking
for. Do you know where I can download the package with the SR-1a MSI? >>

Running Office XP and Office 2007

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 02:39 AM PDT

Hi Warren,

The installer starting is 'normal' behavior when you run multiple Office versions (a practice MS recognizes but doesn't recommend
<g>)
With multiple versions of Word installed the MS Installer changes the settings to match the correct (last used) version when you
start it. (More information on having multiple versions of Office installed appears here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091 )

There are a couple of workarounds.

1. Create and use (where the PC has enough 'oomph' to support it, Virtual PC installations to separate the versions
http://microsoft.com/virtualpc

2. Edit the registry to have the installer ignore the 'switch' between versions. While this will stop the installer on a regular
(as you use the apps) basis it's not clear at present what other areas this may affect when switching between Word versions,
including running a repair (Office 2000 thru 2003)/diagnostic (Office 2007) or when updates are applied. Here are the steps on
Windows XP, they may vary slightly in Windows Vista. As a suggestion, you may want to lock things into the version of Word that
matches the version of Outlook you'll be using.

a. Optionally, run either Repair from the Word 2000-2003 help menu
and/or an Office diagnostic from Office 2007 to double check that the 'innards' are in good order.

b. Run the version of Word that you want to have associated with your .doc, .dot, .docx, etc files, then close Word.

c. Double click, in Windows Explorer in My Documents or another folder a .doc file to be sure it opens in the correct version you
prefer to use then close all running Office apps.

d. Use Start=>Run and type Regedit.

e. Navigate down in HKEY_CURRENT_USER to
\Software\Microsoft\Office

f. For Word 2007 (v12.0) continue to navigate through

\12.0\Word\Options

and once there right click on the 'Options' branch in the left panel and create a new 'DWORD' named NoReReg , then set the value
of NoReReg to 1.

g. For Word 2003 (v11.0), follow the same steps as in 2f, but use the area for Word 2003, which would be

\11.0\Word\Options

h. For Word 2002 (v10.0), follow the same steps as in 2f, but use the area for Word 2002 (Office XP), which would be

\10.0\Word\Options

Note that this doees work for Word 2003 and Word 2007 but I don't recall if the 'NoReReg' key is recognized in the Office XP/2002 or
Office 2000 editions.

Please let us know how this goes for you

==================
<<"Warren" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
By default, Office XP and 2007 place their content within subfolders, which
is in the official Microsoft documentation:

Office XP: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\
Office 2007: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\

Both suites do run on the same PC, but as I mentioned if you switch from one
to the other (such as Word, which is the biggest culprit) you get either the
Windows Installer configuring office XP, or Office 2007 setup re-setting up
Office despite it being already installed.

I'll try installing one away from the default folder, but to be honest I
think that's already been tried with *exactly* the same result. <<

Right click a doc running office 2007 send to doesnt work

Posted: 14 Mar 2007 03:22 PM PDT

Are you in the Word, File Open dialog or in Windows explorer? both, as
mentioned i get the mapi error
"This error can occur if you attempt to send a Word document as an e-
mail attachment in Word and the MAPI session was closed and Word is
no
longer able to connect to that MAPI session. It can also occur if
there is a problem with the fax configuration.
To correct a MAPI related error: restart the MAPI e-mail program (for
example,Outlook) or save and close the document, and then restart
Word
after restarting your MAPI e-mail application. Word will establish a
new MAPI session, allowing the document to be sent.
To correct a problem with the fax configuration, review the
configuration settings for your fax software and make the appropriate
changes."

What version of Windows and which 'send to' option are you trying to
use? XP SP2

If 'Send to email recipient' what email app are you using?

Office 2007 Ribbon

Posted: 14 Mar 2007 02:27 AM PDT

To be honest, it would have been a lot better had Microsoft given users the
choice of interfaces.

I object particularly to the fact that plenty of staff will look at the
Ribbon, think "I'm not using that!" and never bother with Office. There's
probably a massive retraining budget needed so that users are comfortable
with the look and feel.

That look and feel hasn't changed that much since Word 6, and many of our
admin staff have been using Word since then. I'd hate to deploy Office 2007
right now and give them no option.

It only makes me even more determined to move to OpenOffice instead...

Office 2007 Installation Issues

Posted: 13 Mar 2007 06:49 AM PDT

I actually got it to install last night (total of 18 hrs of Vista issues,
then another 12 hours downtime in office 2007 issues). Still waiting on MS to
contact me, I have
offered to submit my solution for a white paper - we will see. It involved a
lot of registry manipulation.. Not a typical install for someone who may be
in my same position that has min. computer experience. I think normally it
would have worked well, I beleive it has soemthing to do with downloading the
trial version. That is where the problem lies.

Everything works well with the exception of Accounting Express - can't get
to accept my prodcut code - still thinks it is in trial mode. MS is working
on getting me a full product key code, so hopefully that will work.

Thanks for replying

BTW - Beware installing Vista and Office 2007 with Vista - not a walk in the
park! Nor is it worth the trouble..not that great of an OS.

OCT

Posted: 13 Mar 2007 01:04 AM PDT

If you have an Enterprise version of Office 2007 (and the volume license key) and create a network Installation point (a CD image if
from an Office CD, or from an extract of Office 2007 from a download image) then running Setup.exe /Admin
will start the Office 2007 Customization Tool (OCT).
It is not available for OEM or retail products.

For additional information on using the Office Customization Tool the Office 2007 Resource Kit may be of help:
http://microsoft.com/office/ork

The OCT does not support GPO deployments, as it creates .MSP (installer patch files) for customization and the MS Installer doesn't
support .MSP files with that method.

===================
<<"Mr. Hardware" <microsoft.com> wrote in message

Bob pls forgive for not being clear. I just don't have it. And was hoping it
could become available for D/L. I think it kinda sux's that WE (partners and
the apprpreate) don't have it. For 2003 ver. I made several transforms, and
others. That, would speed up my small deployments (spc. SBS+5-25). But do
(mentally) recreate a cfg xml makes me pout. When the OCT is yes/no. That's
all. WAIK and OPK dont sute this method verry well. Those are related to
in-house Admin, and completed machines.>>

Customize the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2007

Posted: 12 Mar 2007 12:43 PM PDT

Hi Matt,

The Quick Access Toolbars are stored in .QAT files. For Word it would be Word.QAT. (They're XML files). You could create the .QAT
file ahead of time and deploy it as an additional file.

Hey Dingo - Jeff C here, I just posted the same problem.

I have been fighting this for a week. Third tier MS tech, they can't fix.
Windows installer pops up 4-5 times when opening Outlook, Excel, Word. I
upgraded from 2003 to Small Business. Business Contact Man. and Accounting
Express do not work either. I try to revert back and have now success.

Let me know if you come up with anything. I have tried everything except
re-fromating my hard drive and starting from scrathc - which I am about ready
to do.

Open My Computer, right-click the disk drive, properties, auto-play tab.

You could see if showing hidden files helps, control panel, folder options, view
tab, tick Show hidden files and folders.

Is this a trial CD?

Keeping office 2003 preferences with 2007 upgrade replacement-Outl

Posted: 08 Mar 2007 03:39 PM PST

Do NOT under any circumstances import your .pst file into Outlook unless you want to lose data.

OPEN the .pst file in Outlook using Outlook's File->Open->Outlook data file. This should not be a problem however, as you are performing an upgrade and Outlook should find your .pst file just fine.
