Why is Office 2007 so slow and how to improve speed?

Posted: 07 Jan 2008 05:14 PM PST

I doubt it's the hardware because my test machine has 4 GB of RAM and
running on a P4 2.4 Ghz processor. I even set aside the max hd space for
virtual memory.

Still getting error message trying to activate Outlook

Posted: 07 Jan 2008 01:21 PM PST

Hey, DL.

Thanks for the follow up. I believe I have resolved the matter, but will
wait a few days before declaring victory.

Here's what happened: After loading Home and Student Office I went snooping
around the hard drive for some application files so I could place shortcuts
on the desktop. (I've done this many times before with other software that
didn't place icons on the desktop after loading.)

Much to my wondering eyes did I see a file for Outlook. It wasn't supposed
to be on the Home version of Office 2007, but there it was. So naturally I
opened the file and started using it.

The reason I couldn't activate it is that it's not supposed to be available.
(Why it's on this version of Office, I don't know.) To make matters worse, at
least one of the guys at the store suggested I could use it.

I finally got through to a tech support guy at the store who told me to make
OE (which was loaded on the machine initially) my default browser. I did
that, and so far all is well in paradise. Fortunately, I was able to activate
the Office programs, though I had to call Microsoft to do it.

Happy Tuesday.

how to format a two column script with the columns independent

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 10:33 PM PST

Hi JDSLA,

You can use a two column table, rather than 'columns' to get the affect you mentioned. For questions on doing this with a table
you may want to followup in the Word tables discussion group through the link below.

Doing "save as" in Word 2007

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 11:17 AM PST

As a different way of doing it, you can put a SaveAs button on the top line
of the ribbon. To do so left click on the dropdown arrow next to the Quick
Access toolbar. Select More commands from the list. Make sure Customize is
selected in the left portion of window and then change Popular Commands to
All Commands. Scroll down toward bottom about 3/4 way to Save As. Click on
it and then click Add>> then OK. The Save As command will then be placed on
the top line of the ribbon. Any frequently used commands can be placed
there the same way.

Office versions - help please.

Posted: 06 Jan 2008 05:59 AM PST

Hi Mark,

The folks in the MS Office Access discussion group, mentioned previously, would be one source to query on Access 97 performance or
issues on Vista.

The right links <g> are below this time :)

The older versions are 'out of support' as far as testing and updating by Microsoft goes so they're not 'officially'
covered/doented.

===========

Thanks for the response, DL
Can you suggest a resource that would tell me what to expect with Access 97?
Thanks,

Office Setup files

Does it have a USB connection? If yes,then get a cheap USB CD drive, hook it up and install your Office suite. Remove the trial first.

I'd have spent more than that on drugs to keep me calm while waiting

Office 2007 & Office 2003 Questions

Posted: 05 Jan 2008 01:45 PM PST

After looking at the packaging more carefully, I did notice on the comparison
chart they have for all the different versions of Office 07 that the Office
'Home and Student' version can be installed on up to 3 computers, but it does
not indicate this for the Office 'Professional' version. After I do the
first install, I will take your advice and read the EULA.

Thanks again!

Can't register Office Suite programs. Won't accept Prod Key.

Posted: 05 Jan 2008 01:45 PM PST

Garfield,

The quirky thing is that the store I purchased this computer from installed
Outlook Express. I'm wondering if that is causing my problem. I posted a new
message about this, but the short version:

I was able to activate something by calling the support number. But I still
get the prompt to type in my Product Key when I launch Outlook. So I wonder
if I need to totally scrap the folder I have with the Outlook Express
components, even though I don't think OE is active at all on my machine. Not
being a computer whiz, I'm really stumped on this. On top of that I have only
about four more uses of Outlook before it loses functionality.

Thing is, quite a few people attempting to install one or another version of
O2003 in Vista are getting these messages that it can't find a variety of
different *.cab files even when a quick browse shows it's right there in the
very directroy it tells us to look for, even when either or both the machine
and Office are clean out of the box. There arises the suspicion that we
may have got our hands on bad install disks via misbehaving resellers... or
at least (and potentially more aggravating), on a disk that *Windows* THINKS
is a bad install disk...

I have counted quite a few queries on this subject in this forum, and the
only concrete suggestions in response apply for cases where there's an old
OEM install in the way, not when all parts are apparently "clean".
