Preserving Office XP Configuration on Upgrade to '03 Posted: 05 May 2004 10:07 AM PDT "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" <org> wrote in message news:phx.gbl... Thanks for answering, Milly ... however, outlook.pst is not going to preserve my email account information (servers, connections, userIDs, passwords, etc) ... that's the kind of thing I'm trying to figure out if Office 2003 is going to inspect, preserve and restore when it installs; I'm also wondering if it will do the same for other preferences ... like default document directory for Word, Excel .. |

Replacement CDs for OEM MS Office XP Posted: 02 May 2004 05:51 PM PDT Computers have insurance. MS has a replacement policy if you purchase the software from anyone but the manufacturer. Point is, why pay full price for software from a vendor, Dell et.al., when you can purchase the same from anywhere else and receive the assurance that your CDs can be replaced. Dell doesn't tell you that when you purchase your software in good faith. john mad if Dell did not Office, which they have to Dell does not replace about 3 stolen. replacement" from product Any another |

Install Office 2000 on XP Posted: 02 May 2004 10:28 AM PDT If you Office came with yr sys, as an OEM copy then I'm afraid licence is tied to origonal sys and is not transferable. - It may even be that the OEM supplier has configured the install to prevent it installing on anything other than origonal. Or it may be simply a question of you entering the wrong key or missreading it. "JWB" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:73ed01c4306a$f3a4d8b0$gbl... |

Problem with EULA popup window Posted: 30 Apr 2004 07:58 AM PDT Hi James, Besides Gyorgy's suggestion, I would suggest you have a check to see whether the new machine has other version Office installed. In addition, please find the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0 and right-click and go to permissions, make sure that ADMINISTRATORS and SYSTEM had full control set to allow. Hope it helps.

need your advice on this site? Posted: 29 Apr 2004 06:54 AM PDT As it turns out, the list is a bit smaller for XP. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290540 There are generally three rules for upgrading to Office XP: a.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are the only valid upgrade products for the Office XP suites. You cannot use the Academic Edition of Office 97 or Office 2000 as a qualifying product. b.. Office 97 stand-alone products and Office 2000 stand-alone products are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products.* c.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products only if the Office XP stand-alone product is included in the corresponding Office 97 suite or Office 2000 suite*. -- Thanks, Eric Lawrence Program Manager Assistance and Worldwide Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Office 2003 will not read past files? Posted: 28 Apr 2004 08:45 AM PDT I just upgraded a windows XP/office 2000 computer to office 2003 and now any file I try to open is now unavailable/ could not be found, is there any eplanation for this or should I take 2003 off and leave 2000 on?? Brando I have the same problem with old Word files and get the following error when opening Excel files The file cannot be opened because your virus scanner has detected a problem with the file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success Pet Have you tried opening each of the apps by using their icon. Do this first because a small install is run to create the hkey current user section of the registry. then try double clicking the docs Mik I have tried that option, and no different still can't access my files. I do also get the same error as the post above me with the Excel documents. Then on top of it I get warning when I shut down Word that states changes have been made to the template normal and trys to make me save the changes. Even though I have not touched a key, Any one have any other ideas?????????????? Brando |
First run of Office product Posted: 28 Apr 2004 02:44 AM PDT Baker, Thank you very much, will go hunt out the ork as you suggest. thanks can download from the microsoft website. configured the way you want it, save the template then run the office custom installation wizard to pickup the template. this can be done from a cd or installation point. the custom install wizard (CIW) gives you heaps of options like dropping extra files into your install, setting custom directories, configuring outlook, lots of great stuff. It even saves stuff like changing macro security (because it's default set to block, not prompt). |
