As of not too long ago, Microsoft was still offering replacements of retail
version Office XP. Other than that, at what point do you think the OP has to
accept responsibility for the care (or lack of care) of his own property?

Office 2003 document shortcuts not appearing on New menu in Vista

Posted: 09 Jul 2007 12:40 AM PDT

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I was however requesting information related to new
documents created when you right click within windows explorer and select the
New option (folders, shortcuts etc). Normally Office adds entries for the
various document types, but they have not appeared for my installation in
Vista.

Thanks

Activate Office after Administrative Setup

I'm using a MSDN license. I did enter the license key in my transform, and
indeed, the installation doesn't prompt for it. But as soon as I open, e.g.,
Word, it asks me to activate either by phone or internet.

office 2007 suite setup crashes

Appreciate your response, unfortunately that didn't work - I've updated to
Installer 3.1, but I still have the same problem. I'm close to reinstalling
XP just to make this work (maybe).

I agree - this is one of those times when the poster is going to have to put
his foot down. I'm afraid it may not work but I hope it does. Office is not
cheap.

How do I add the ñ to the my fonts and add spanish words and word

Assuming that you are using appropriate keyboard character mapping (US
English should do), Windows provides three native methods of inserting so-called
special characters and/or typograhical characters (tildes, accents, ligatures,
umlauts, etc.). The clunkiest is that crude "character mapper" applet that has
come with Windows since 3.1. The second method, also clunky, are to hold the ALT
key down while entering either the character's 3-digit ASCII code from the
numeric keypad or its 4-digit ANSI character code from the numeric keypad; the
ANSI code is the ASCII code with a prepended "zero". Go figure. The third method
is just silly and provides pretty good evidence the M$ uses school kids in its
"good idea" department: Windows' "dead keys". It's such a looney idea that I
can't even remember how to invoke it: Whenever the user types a letter that
"could" require a diacritical, it waits to display the letter until the *next*
keypress. If the next keypress is that same letter or a space, the character is
displayed. If the next keypress is a diacritical marking such as accent, then
the appropriate character is printed. Oops: Not all of the necessary characters
appear on computer keyboards.
A far more elegant solution is to install and use:
http://allchars.zwolnet.com/

This little freeware gem has been around for years (since Win3.1, at least)
and allows insertion of all of the printable characters in your currently-loaded
typeface's characterset by means of mnemonic three-key press. For example, ñ, is
produced by: <hotkey>,n,tilde; "em-dash" (—; so-called because it occupies the
letterspace of letter "M") is <hotkey>,m,-(hyphen or "dash"). Warning, as you
may notice in this post, because NNTP -- and therefore many "real" newsreaders
-- supports only "real" ASCII, if the characters are not present in the
characterset in use by your *reader* he'll see gibberish or "?" instead of the
intended character.
As a little bonus, allchars' "macro" facility allows the user to store
paragraphs of pre-defined text that may then be spooled into the current
document by use of a three-key user-assigned tag.
Since allchars "wedges" its output through the keyboard buffer, it is
global in effect and may be used in any software application that accepts
keyboard input and, of course, supports the full characterset.
I suspect that the only way overcome the spelling checker's limitations are
to find a broader dictionary or to explicitly add "misspelled" words containg
the "special" characters as they are encountered.

Office 2007 normal.dot on Vista

Posted: 29 Jun 2007 12:58 AM PDT

Thanks for the reply herb....

So I'll let users update their own copy of normal.dotm but not the version
in the workgroup folder.

I have styles in templates anyway so that's not too bad I suppose.

Thanks

Scroll Up and Down

Interesting, I just upgraded to Standard 2007 & my mouse wheel no longer
scrolls (Word & Excel so far) as it had previously . Kept 2003 installed
also, just in case. So far I'm glad I did because still finding things that
don't work ( like mouse wheel ).
I'll watch here for clues... I would think all those fuctions wouldn't be
version dependant.

Office 2007 Pro - Purchased Product Key, Can't Convert Trial

Posted: 27 Jun 2007 09:54 PM PDT

Problem solved -

Well, I took a chance today and threw a few extra dollars at a CD of the OEM
Preinstallation Kit (OPK).
(With 5 PC's in the house I'd need it eventually if I ever got the first
install going - besides, it was probably cheaper than last night's call to
the States).
Not only did it work with the product key I'd bought online, it also handled
the OEM Medialess Licence Kit I bought earlier by mistake - so Office 2007 is
now on the notebook too :)

The lesson out of all this?
If you live in Australia and like the trial version, ditch it and spend $30
on the OPK before you go any further. It's much better on the blood pressure.
A lot of this hassle would be avoided if the Activation Wizard was more
helpful (something like "The Product Key you provided is for Version X, but
you are trying to activate Version Y").

Thanks to all who contributed. Hope I can save someone else the grief I went
through.

Cheers
Phil.
