How Do You Spell Relief? I Spell It Office 2000

Posted: 06 Apr 2007 04:45 AM PDT

Calm down emanon. MS makes one type of product and other companies make
their own type of products. It is not up to MS to make its products
compatible with all the products out their in the wild. It is up to the
product makers to make sure its products are compatible with de facto
industry standard OS and Office packages!!.

Don't you think it makes sense for companies to make sure its products
are compatible rather than expecting MS to make sure its products are
compatible with 1000s of products out their? It is virtually impossible
for one company to take this responsibility and moreover, if it does
then anti-trust law suits will stop them from doing so. Do you remember
what happens to pdf convertibility in office 2007? MS was forced to
remove it because adobe objected to it!!

You really need to realistic about your expectations!!

Hope this helps.

Install Office 2000 and Office 2003 on one machine

Posted: 05 Apr 2007 02:02 AM PDT

Hi, Mo,

Install them in order of their release (2000 first, then 2003). Microsoft
does not recommend running multiple versions on the same operating system,
and you can not have more than one version of Outlook. Here is an article
to get you started:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828956/en-us

Virtual PC is a nice option for running multiple versions, because you can
isolate them and run Outlook in each Virtual PC session.

Problems with Off. Pro Accounting & SQL Server connecting remotely

Posted: 04 Apr 2007 06:06 PM PDT

Hi Chris,

There are a number of factors that can affect the MS Office Business Contact Manager (BCM), including whether or not you're using a
MS Exchange Server. As it can work with the Office Accounting product and that is also giving you a bit of bother, you may want to
followup on the relationship aspect of the two products and describe how you'd like to be able to work with the products in your
setup in the BCM discussion group through the link below.

==============

Thank You, any ideas why this also does not work with Contact Manager, are
these products not designed to be run over a network like this?

Thanks again! You guys are great! >>

landscape printing in wordpad

Posted: 04 Apr 2007 03:30 AM PDT

In the printer folder in the control panel, change the default setting to
landscape. Keep in mind when you change the printing preferences for WordPad in
the control panel it will change for all your programs.

Thanks, Greg. You may need to contact Microsoft PSS, then, if peer support
isn't of any assistance. If Norton 360 is also doing this, then Office
isn't likely the issue, either, and perhaps it's related to the operating
system.

It's an after-market DVD so I won't be able to get help from Dell. Yes, I'm
sure it's a DVD - it runs some DVDs and has run them in the past. It works
fine as a CD drive. I'm running out of ideas here which is why I thought I'd
try here. It's looking like I won't be running Office 2007 any time soon.

Event Error 5000

Posted: 30 Mar 2007 02:32 PM PDT

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the delay due to the weekend.

Based on the information you provided, this error may be cause by many
reasons. I have listed some of them for your reference:

* Reason 1: Large .pst or .ost file
===============

Are you using a large .pst or .ost file? If your .pst or .ost file is
larger than 2GB, you may experience a performance issue in Outlook 2007.

In order to accommodate new features, Outlook 2007 introduced a new data
structure for .pst and .ost files. In this new data structure, the
frequency of writing data to the hard disk increases as the number of items
in the .pst or .ost files increases.

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

# Method 1: Reduce the size of the Exchange mailbox
# Method 2: Use an online mode profile instead of a cached mode profile
# Method 3: Split your large .pst file into several smaller .pst files
# Method 4: Use a filter to restrict the items that you synchronized from
Exchange into your .ost file

For more information, please refer to the following KB article:

KB932086 You may experience performance problems when you are working with
items in a large .pst file or in a large .ost file in Outlook 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;932086

* Reason 2: Windows Desktop Search 3.0
===============

Have you installed any desktop search engine such as Windows Desktop Search
3.0? If this is the case, please temporarily uninstall it and then test the
issue.

If this does not match your situation, then please also try some
suggestions below to narrow it down:

* Suggestion 1: Temporarily turn off/remove antivirus program
================

Many times such issue can be caused by the antivirus program currently
running on the machine. Please temporarily turn off or remove antivirus
application and see if this scenario is gone.

* Suggestion 2: Temporarily remove Adobe Reader
================

Sometimes Adobe Reader can also cause this issue. If you have this program
installed on your computer, please temporarily remove it and see if this
issue can be resolved.

* Suggestion 3: Test in Outlook Safe Mode
================

Outlook Safe Mode can narrow down issues which are caused by any
extensions, corrupted resources, files, registries, or templates.

1. Click Start | Run.
2. In the Open box, type: "Outlook /safe" (without the quotation marks)
Notes: There is a space character between Outlook and the forward slash (/).
3. Click OK.

If all fail, then please help us collect more information so that we can do
further research:

* Information Collection
=================

1. When does the error message appear? What are the steps to reproduce this
issue?
2. Does the produce ever worked? If so, what have been changed?
3. Please take a screenshot on the exact error message and send it to me.
** To take a screenshot
---------------------
1. When this error message appears, press PrScrn key on your keyboard.
2. Type "mspaint" (without the quotation marks) in Start>Run box and click
OK.
3. Click Edit>Paste to paste the screenshot.
4. Save it as JPEG file type and send it as Email attachment.
---------------------

You can send it directly to this newsgroup or you can send it to me at
<com>

Please try my suggestions, and update me with the results and information.
If something is unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Leon Hao

Thanks Susan. I am a little leary to try for fear of becoming infected. I

related problem, as all of the staff/students are trying to check their

MS Office 2003 on MS VISTA HOME PREMIUM

Posted: 29 Mar 2007 03:04 AM PDT

There is no way to "completely" remove Office from your system without
re-formatting, unfortunately. Uninstalling via the Control Panel does a
pretty good job, if it works.

I would still suggest you consider trying the steps in the order I showed.
The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility should help you remove registry
references to old versions of Office, and then you can try re-installing
Office to restore them properly.

Just make sure you have all the installation CDs and product keys you need
to re-install before you remove the registry references.

Problem with Launch Tour version of Office 2007
