Office does not start up at all

Also, in response to "It's appropriate that *none* of the DVD content
will run from the DVD."

Just to clarify, the Office installer itself will not run, among the
other Microsoft applications on the DVD. It's as if every single
Office related application has decided that they will not open up
anymore. All of my other applications are not affected.

Purchased Office for Mac, can I selectively install?

Posted: 16 Jan 2007 12:14 PM PST

Hi again,

To make things more comfortable for you, it doesn't really make a whole lot
of difference if you do a custom install or a drag-and-drop install of
Microsoft Office. We're just trying too hard to give you the optimal install
when really it's just easy to do either way.

Probably the most important thing is to use the Remove Office tool to get
rid of the Office Test Drive if it came with your computer. Do that before
installing Office from the CD.

Mac user with pointless Office

Posted: 16 Jan 2007 07:01 AM PST

You can insert the "characters" in Office 2004, but you CANNOT write Arabic
because the text runs in the opposite direction :-)

Nobody outside Microsoft yet knows whether Office 2008 will support
right-to-left languages or not.

They were waiting on Mac OS X to support RTL. Rumour has it that OS 10.5
will finally get full support for RTL languages. But whether that support
will arrive in time to be designed into Microsoft Office 2008 is another
question.

Nobody I know is allowed to tell us the answer! :-)

Cheers

11.3.3 update causes Problems

Posted: 15 Jan 2007 12:42 PM PST

I think you may have a stranded copy of a previous version of Office on your
computer, and the patch has updated the wrong one.

The "safe" way to do this is to run the Remove Office tool, which will
safely remove everything that Microsoft created and leave anything YOU
created.

I would still recommend running a backup before you start. Rules 1 and 2 of
software maintenance: "If everything is backed up, nothing will go wrong".
If anything is missing from the backup, that's what will be irretrievably
destroyed by the update!" :-)

Remove both versions, then go hunt down your Normal template and delete that
too (if you don't get it out it will cause problems).

Then run the installer to put everything back. Then run the 11.3 and 11.3.3
patches. You should be good to go after that.

Hope this helps

office v. x updates 10.1.6 and or 10.1.9

Posted: 15 Jan 2007 11:09 AM PST

Have a look at the menus in one of the Office applications; if they are in
English, then you have the English version of Office, and the English
updater should work as advertised. If I were you, I'd remove Office using
the Remove Office tool in the Value Pack folder on your Office install disk
and re-install the applications. Having done that, you should be able to
apply the 10.1.9 updater without any problems.

I assume these 3 macs all have office installed with different serial

edition gives you 3 different 'product keys').

If so, then it is quite acceptable to install the product key of the dead
mac's copy of office on a fourth machine. This is transferring the copy, not
duplicating it.

The mac version of office does not use product activation like the windows
side of things.

Language settings in Office for Mac 2004

Posted: 11 Jan 2007 11:01 AM PST

I find the best way of doing this is to define the languages into your
styles.

So I might have Body Text AUS, Body Text US, and Body Text UK styles to
switch between three languages.

If you do not want to switch entire paragraphs, use Character styles.

Or use the macro Corentin sent :-)

It is not real clear in the article but if you look under the Exchange 2003

Paragraph formating

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 01:51 PM PST

I have a 600 page document. I am trying to format the paragraphs (first line) throughout to 0.5". I have entered this info in the paragraph box (first line by 0.5") (aligment left/body text) (indentation &  spacing all marked 0 pt) (line spacing double).

I did select all. The ruler on the document did change to 1/2" (0.5") but the paragraphs are still all over the place .. most indented further in than I've asked (like 1" or more).

Do I have to go through all 600 pages manually to get to the 0.5" desired indent? Help!

mail merge field problem

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 10:40 AM PST

Hello! I am trying to do a mail merge for a letter. I have an Excel spreadsheet, and in it I have fields for first name, last name and greeting. My intention is that the first and last name are used in the address block, but the greeting field is used in the greeting block - this is because, for instance, I have some names that are Jane Do and John Doe where Jane Doe is in the first name, John Doe in the last name for the mailing address, but I want the Dear line to be Dear Jane and John. I hope I explained that clearly?

The problem is that whatever I specify for the first name in the address block is automatically carrying over to the greeting block, and if I then specify something different for the greeting block, it carries back to the address block!! Is it possible to unlink the two somehow?

Thanks ever so much for any help you can give me!

mail merge preview results does not work in WORD2010

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:44 AM PDT

Forum members,

I have been having some problems with mail merge when merging data from an excel list into a form letter.  I have had no problem in the past but recently it doesn't work.  I have a column in the spreadsheet labeled Printkey with an entry P to designate what record is to inserted and use the code {SKIPIF {MAILMERGE PRINTKEY } <> "p"} at the top of the document.  When I click the Preview results button on the ribbon nothing happens.  In the past it would show the first record for editing.  If I do a Finish merge and choose edit individual documents it get an empty records error message.  On the other hand if I delete the {SKIPIF{} } and use the filter option on the edit recipients menu, the data is merged to the document for the data designated by a P when the edit individual documents is chosen but the Preview Results still does not work.  Can anyone advise me on this.  All help is appreciated in advance.

missing math equation letters

Posted: 01 Nov 2012 10:28 AM PDT

I inserted a math problem someone sent to me  into a newsletter I am working on. On the second page of the math problem I inserted two math cartoons to fill up the bottom of the page. The document looked fine at print preview, but printed without the "x"s and "y"s in the math equation. I don't think the equation editor was used. When I removed one of the cartoons, the document printed correctly. I have tried inserting the cartoons into textboxes, which did not work, and I also tried a table which didn't work. I have an art border around those two pages of the newsletter.. I just don't understand why I can't print the page correctly with the two cartoons.

Upgraded from ME to XP and cant run Office 2000

Posted: 09 Apr 2004 06:39 PM PDT

In addition to Mercury's reply...

Many programs, not all Microsoft, will need to be
reinstalled after upgrading the OS. There are several
reasons for this. Two of the most promenant reasons are:

1. The new OS is installed with fresh .dll files that
will not be linking the new Windows to Office as they are
created during the Office install.

2. The Registry of the new Windows install will have
different key values, some relating to the Office install

It is always a good idea to uninstall what you can in
regards to S/W and drivers just before the upgrade as
VERY few functions of these things will be carried over
to the new OS successfully

Hope this helps

Upgrading 2003 Basic to office 2003 Standard

Hi Mike,

MS considers moving laterally from one edition to another
in the same Office series to be a 'crossgrade' and the
upgrade packages do not work. As listed on the package
you need an earlier Office version for an upgrade or you
can purchase the apps individually, for example.

Never is a long time. Do you think MOOX will replace .doc and .xls
eventually? Certainly MS believe so and if OD beats MOOX as the
preferred open standard it will indeed eventually replace .doc and .xls

or xls file just as you still see typewriters from time to time.
 

Google's stock is largely based on speculation. Vapour ideas, which is
why it will not be sustainable if it doesn't translate the projected
growth into reality fairly quickly. That requires purchasing large
established companies with reasonable growth potential but that is very
expensive - eg buying Sun would cost billions. Buying start ups with
phenomenal potential growth based on gambling on some industry trends is
also necessary and likely to be a lot less expensive and if Google's
presence and size is what these need to enable growth they are adding
considerable value just by making the purcahase. Writely is an obvious
example. Its not really an either or but a both. So Google could buy
irows and wikicalc or neither. On balance I'd say Googles forage into
OOo indicates they are likely to want to promote OpenDocument over MOOX
but to what extent they are prepared to put hard cash behind that is
difficult to say and I'm sure they will have worked out the
cost-benefits of different options.

I believe the culprit is "webtekniks.com" and not "paypal.com" and I
believe we are dealing with fraudulent info gathering. It's the 2nd time
I forwarded the e to paypal's security adr: com, something
paypal has requested all along.

[discuss] OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 Is Here

Of course OOo could run on Mac OS9 if anybody would develop a port for
it. An early OOo predecessor, StarOffice 3, had a MAC version (though
I'm don't remember if it was sold or not). That was roughly ten years
ago and so I have no doubt that a MAC OS9 version of OOo would be
possible if anybody had enough interest for it and created a port for
it. Obviously that's not the case.

Best regards,

I think, and again, I'm just going on what I read in the article, it is
different from VoIP.

It's just that Word rings, and you answer it by clicking clippy. It that
you log into MSO (the corporate edition) so that MSO "knows" where you are
physically in the building. It then sends that information to the CISCO
phone server, which routes all your incoming calls to the phone nearest the
computer you are using. So it's just that MSO is your phone. It just talk=
s
to your phone system.


Maybe we should just do a deal with an open source VOIP software 


That could be a good idea, having some sort of hook into GIZMO (Linspire's
Open Source VoIP) or something - but that's different than what this is
talking about.

I don't really know if OOo needs to answer this with a matching feature - I
don't think we can very easily, and I really don't think we should. I just
saw it as one more way that MS is making MSO dug deeper into the corporate
user experience.

I mean, if you're going to do this - have your computers tell the phones
where to ring - why isn't it a part of the operating system (which for this
service would have to Windows) - instead of the office suite? You have to
log in to a terminal to use it - (in a corporate environment like this is
talking about) - so why doesn't Windows tell CISCO where you are, instead o=
f
MSO.

Since when do you have to log into Office? Everytime I've been in a shared
environment (mostly at school) - when I logged into Windows, my copy and
setup of Office was already there.

I think MS could have made it where Windows told CISCO where you are - but
then the corps could use OOo on their copy of Windows, and still get the
phones to follow you. But by tying it into Office somehow - they made it
where if you want this service (and I can see the value in it) - you have t=
o
have Windows *AND* Office for it to work.

Just my take on the matter...

Interesting - I remember noticing that name in Wikipedia's comparison
chart:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_image_software

.... but it appears to me that unless one needs the specific features
of UltraISO (or another of the competing programs), my comment is
probably valid, since it's based on my personal preference for the
overall design of MagicISO (but nonetheless, merely my opinion). I am
sure, having looked at UltraISO's site now, that it would be my second
choice, though (and thus you've given another great tip).

For straight-up ripping of a CD/DVD-ROM, though, I prefer WinImage.
I'm sure (obviously) that it's functionally no different from the
others for that purpose, but I was just blown away by how cool and
old-school it is, and had to support its developer.

I moved the folder from the desktop to C: Root. Still can not access, even
though it
does show on the Win7 Network list.
I also created a NEW folder on the XP C: Root and it can not be accessed. I
checked the
Share settings of the folder that can be accessed with the one that can not
be accessed
and they are the same.

C++

"Earl Partridge" 

It is most likely one of the redistribution runtime libraries.
Generally it is better to leave them as they are.

If you wand or need C++ (or C#) you can get a free version of Microsoft's
Visual Studio for example here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/express/default.aspx?wt.srch=1

Some elements of VisualStudio (e.g. the CSC.EXE compiler for c#) are
included in the .net framework directory of any Windows Version from Vista
Home upwards.

Again - the c++ installations you see in add/remove programs, are most
likely some runtime elements that don't harm anyone and it is better to not
touch them ...
