Yes, I know the enemy of good is better but I did not like the look of
the Microsoft Office 2008 folder icon on the dock so I change it by
leaching the icon from MS install disc. Seems to look better on the
dock than the standard folder icon. Let me know if you find a better
looking dock icon for Office 2008.

My finder preference is Blue and there is no shade option in OSX. Anyway
to make darken up the pale light blue Excel uses?

There "will be" a trial version, but it's not there yet.

It will never be available on TechNet.

It is on MSDN Select, if you have a corporate licence.

12.0.1 update installer does not recognize the Leopard

Posted: 15 Mar 2008 10:33 AM PDT

Daiya - Shame on you for reading all those negative inferences into my
simple statement of fact;-)... But it does seem odd that the Sys Reqs for
2004 are posted on [two thirds of] the same page as those for 2008 when you
can't find another reference to the former version elsewhere on the site
(other than updater downloads).

How to use 2004 as default?

Posted: 14 Mar 2008 08:08 PM PDT

No, sorry, you can't do this.

I say it is a bug: Office 2008 silently declares itself to be the default
application for all of the file types any time one of the O2008 applications
runs.

We have asked Microsoft if there is a work-around, but I suspect we may be
told "This is by design" :-)

What about Publisher and Frontpage??

Posted: 13 Mar 2008 08:03 PM PDT

Because they're not good enough :-)

I'm a *current* PC user as well as a Mac user.

Publisher can't get anywhere near Adobe CS3 in terms of functionality and
refinement.

FrontPage can't keep up with DreamWeaver on the Mac. Expression Web would
be competitive with DreamWeaver, depending on what you want to do. But not
FrontPage.

They would only post and then "pull" an update if it caused some fairly

be confined to Microsoft Office.

Install Office 2008 and 2004 at the same time?

Not quite following you, Loren--what part of their website? This is
what I see:
http://endnote.com/support/en_wpchart_mac.asp

They specifically say that you can unformat citations in your docs with
Word 2004 and then use the Format Paper method with Word 2008. I'm not
sure whether you mean something different?

The EndNote plug-in is certainly not compatible with Word 2008, at all,
at present--but the EndNote plug-in/toolbar/CWYW is a convenience. It is
not absolutely required to make use of EndNote's bibliographic
management features, it is just easier. Even without the plug-in, you
can continue to use EndNote with Word 2008, but it requires some
adjustments to your workflow. So it may depend on what you mean by
compatible. :-)

Word Doc

Posted: 12 Mar 2008 02:50 PM PDT

You can't solve this problem.

If they can "read" it, they can "re-type" it (or copy-paste it...).

So there's nothing you can do to prevent them from changing it. If you save
from Word PC, you can attach a digital signature. But if you do, they will
not be able to read it on the Mac.

I think you will simply have to trust them :-)

What *I* do is print three copies of my resume and take it to the interview
with me.

Head-hunters ALWAYS fiddle around with the resume, no matter how many times
you tell them not to. And usually screw up the formatting when they do.
Which is the kiss of death if you are applying for roles that require expert
Word use, such as a technical writer role :-)

Take your own copies to the interview, and hand it to the interviewers :-)

My transaction logs and stores are all on seperate volumes. Nothing in the

Pure Message 1.0 antivirus/antispam, showing no errors, all proper exclusions
in place. Only other software installed is Veritas Backup Exec 9.1. Windows
and Exchange completely up to date. Exchange 2003 SP 1 installed.

Upon further review the timing of the log files appears to directly coincide
with background scanning of the exchange databases by Sophos Pure Message,

Hi Lanwench

I promise you it really did work the way I described it: Outlook 2003 and
Exchange 2003/ SBS2003.

Still it doesn't really matter because, as I said, we worked out how to do
it in Exchange anyway.

The reason for mail-enabling the folder is so that customers can send
correspondence directly there. I see your point about dragging vs fowarding
though.

Thanks for your advice

Actually I found it yesterday. Things are much better now as long as that

Now I got a new problem. I previously created a win2k3 account for one of my
laptop users (which I haven't moved to the win2k3 domain yet) so whenever
someone tries to send him an email it would go to his exchange box. I
deleted the account and the box (after him viewing its contents of course).
Now when I try to send him an email, it bounces back. The error looks like
it is coming from my ISP.

I removed the personal info and put << some text >>
If you see mx1.myprovider.ca, it seems that it tried to send the email to my
ISP. The account exists on the ISP server, so why does it bounce back? Or is
this a local message?

Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help.

HI I ran Eseutil and received no errors and was wondering,



If I run Eseutil and the priv DB reflect no change in size.

However there was a lot of account with large mailboxes removed and the temp
file reflect a 2 Gig drop. Is it safe to manually rename the prive , rename
the temp file as the prive and move the files.

Again there is no room on the drive containing the priv db

I ran the following

C:\winnt\system32\eseutil.exe /d /ds /tg:\exchback\tempdfrg_ds.edb /p
C:\winnt\system32\eseutil.exe /d /ispriv /tg:\exchback\tempdfrg_pri.edb /p

What the command for deleted item retention on your stores

Also I did not see an event ID 1221 in the logs whats online maintenance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, normally it does, if it completes correctly - but that said, what was
the exact command you ran? Did you use /p ?

How much free space is available to recover? You can see this in your
application event logs (look for event ID 1221) after online maintenance has
run.

If you use deleted item retention on your stores (which I strongly
encourage) note that that can take up a lot of space, too.

Any chance you can stick more drives in this server & move the databases &
logs there for the duration?

If you have moved off all the roles and data from the E2K server, complete
the process by uninstalling Exchange - this is necessary so that we also

Printing issue of Word 2013

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 02:44 PM PDT

Hi everybody;
When I want to print my document or export it to a PDF file a strange problem occurs. In this state, the output is completely different from print layout view. For example the position of lines and so all page numbers is changed. In other word, the page e.g. 14 in output is different from page 14 in print layout view.

I am pretty sure that the printer paper size matches the Word document paper size and that in the backstage Print view, the "Scale to paper size" under the "1 Page Per Sheet" drop down is set to "No Scaling".

Page layout Settings:
Page Size: A4 (21 x 29.7 cm)
Margins- T: 3cm, R: 3cm, L:2.5cm, B:2.5 cm
Orientation: Portrait
Gutter Position: Right
Document view: Right to Left

System details:
OS: Windows 8 Enterprise x64 (updated)
Office: plus 2013 x64 (updated)
Writing language: Mixed (Persian and English)

Feature Request - MS Word - Add Automatic Save As Incremental Version

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 02:34 PM PDT

I have to say that I've lost more work through this MS Word 2013 SkyDrive integration than with any other version of Word in that past... and I've been using MS products since at least 1996. I'm seriously getting ready to discard Microsoft products and the PC environment altogether and cross over to Apple Macintosh.

 

My feature request is as follows:

 

Add an automatic Save As (incremental version number) feature to Word.

 

This means that if the feature is added and turned on, a separate file will be automatically created such as:

filename-v01.docx

filename-v02.docx

filename-v03.docx

 

And add a manual keyboard Save As Incremental Version Number command, too.

Lost Work - Word did not save locally or to SkyDrive

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 01:51 PM PDT

I'm using MS Word 2013 linked with SkyDrive.

 

During the last three hours I created and typed a new chapter, along with making several revisions to previous chapters. I have manually saved the document periodically, and Word is also set to automatically save every 10 minutes.

 

During this last save, something weird happened. The document reverted to the version from this morning -- which means at this time, all of my work performed today has become lost.

 

Is there a .tmp file somewhere that I might be able to recover my work from?

 

Thanks

Gaps in shading occur with format change (Word 2010)

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 12:56 PM PDT

When I add shading to a series of paragraphs, a change in the formatting often creates a gap in the shading.  For example, if I add a border after the last paragraph, a white space appears between the last paragraph and the preceding paragraph.  Sometimes it also happens if the spacing between paragraphs in the shaded area is different.  These are both inconsistent occurrences but happen often enough it causes problems for me in writing.  I have compared instances where it occurs and where it doesn't and I can't find anything different between them that would cause it to happen.  This is a problem that my co-writer also experiences with her documents.

Understanding Margins and Headers and Footers

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 12:08 PM PDT

Can someone give me a simple explanation as to how headers and footers interact with the top and bottom margins of a page e.g.

- it seems as though the header resides within the space allocated to the top margin?

I have just been doing "trial and error" to figure this out with varying results - I tried to find something that would explain this better.

I could provide more specifics but I actually think I just need to know the "rules" as to what applies to what and what happens if one overlaps another object (e.g. if a header grows larger than the margin, what happens)?

Envelopes Are Printed in the Opposite Direction

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 09:11 AM PDT

I have been attempting to print envelopes to my Ricoh Copier.  I have tried all sorts of different envelope positions and printer settings but the text keeps printing sideways as if the envelope was in portrait.  We are using Word 2010.  I don't know how to fix this and I am hoping that someone can help!

Thanks!

I have just got Microsoft office 365 University. when I open word 2013 it connects to the internet. I don't want it to do that. can I stop it doing so? how?

Why won't word 365 open certain files?

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 06:04 AM PDT

Hi Folks
I've been running Office 365 on my Windows 7 Asus EP121 slate for a few months now. Plenty of annoying issues with Outlook stopping Kaspersky but Office had been OK up until two days ago.
One of my regularly used files, my work letterhead (a .doc file), now causes Office to crash everytime I try to open it. I try to open it from Office, file manager and any other means available and now it just crashes. I checked and the same file opens on my old computer running Vista and office 2007 without problem.
Office 365 opens all the other .doc files but just not the letterhead.
I'm not computer savvy and tear my hair out wasting so much time with silly annoying computer issues. I wasted 2 hours today just figuring out that every letterhead would not open, I tried endless restarts and even a system restore but the only available date was yesterday (otherwise 9months ago) and that failed to restore for unknown reasons.
I should never have upgraded from 2007 to 365 as it's too bloated for the slate and weird problems started.
This is my work it's stopping me from doing.
Can anyone please help.

Issue with word crashing

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT

We have been having a sporadic issue happening for months on different PC's

These PC's are running Windows 7 (we have seen it on XP machines, but we don't have many of them and they are used differently.)

 

Here is the issue.

It appears this issue is caused from opening a document from an email. (Maybe certain documents that are causing the issue as it does not happen every time.)

Word will crash and close. Once this happens, if you try to open ANY document with Word, you see the window flash open and disappear.

 

This persists until the following happens to correct the issue.

Close all open Office products. Excel, Outlook, word, etc.

Kill the OPPSVC.exe process. (Or of course reboot the computer.)

 

This will allow you to open any word document. Once the document is open, you notice Document recovery is trying to recover, one or more documents. I really think the issue lies here. It appears to me Word is trying to recover a document (or at least prompt the user for this.), but is not being presented to the user. (Maybe a message box that cannot be seen.) 

 

 

While troubleshooting I have observed the following.

-Removing all Add-ins do not seen to help.

-The problem seems to be from opening Documents from Outlook. (That appears to be a common denominator.) Most of the time the Document from the Email opens fine, but after that trying to open another document, or some type of action in an open document triggers the issue.

-Some people see this issue more than others. I am not sure if it is certain documents (Maybe old document that have been "Upgraded". Or just documents with certain features.), or just that the users do things differently (maybe they don't edit the document opened in email, or don't use the same documents, or just don't open documents in this manner as much.)

 

Any Ideas?

Table of Contents

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 04:26 AM PDT

When I click on  References, TOC and the dialog box appears it show "Auto 1" and "Auto 2" and neither one of them has Heading 1. I only want to use Headings 1, 2 and 3 and my document is correctly formatted with headings identified yet NONE of the 11 Chapter headings appear (they are all and the only text in Heading 1 style).  Free software can do it, so surely 2013 can? 

Table of Contents using \t

Posted: 12 Aug 2013 03:54 AM PDT

Hi

I have a document with many components - each component has 3 levels of headings and I've created tables of contents for those using \b and bookmarks, which work exactly as they should. I'm not trying to create a table of contents of each of these chapters.

I've created new quick styles for the chapter headings, and have created a ToC using \t. The table of contents is generated and the hyperlinks work - all appears as I'd like, but the hyperlinks are absolute or static links; whereas the rest of the ToC's are relative.

What I mean by that is when I mouse-over the \b ToC's, I see the usual "Current Document" tool-tip I would expect to see, and renaming the document or saving as PDF maintains this hyperlink. When I mouse-over the \t ToC, I see a tool-tip that reads "file:///c:\ etc.", pointing towards the file I'm working on. The link therefore works, provided I don't rename or move the file. It also maintains that specific link as a PDF, which is very problematic.

Please could you advise?

The following are examples of the switches I'm using:
{TOC \n \z \h \t "Section Heading,1,SubSection Heading,2,SHEQ Component,3"}
vs
{TOC \o "1-2" \h \z \u \b QMSManual}

I have a word document on my desktop that I want to delete. However, every time I try to delete it, I receive a dialog box that says, "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Word (desktop)." The file is not open on my desktop or anything, so I'm not able to delete my word document file.

Office Web Apps are too slow in IE 9/10 but work great in Firefox on my system

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 08:09 PM PDT

I am on Windows 7 64-bit on an AMD quad core desktop, 4GB. I have recently started using Skydrive, but I found that the word app (later found it was all apps) was painfully slow to load, taking 45 seconds to a minute to open a new or existing document for editing. When it was open and I typed a word, it would take three seconds before the first letter appeared and then a letter would appear every second until the word was displayed, it is that slow. In task manager, iexplore.exe was at about 25% of CPU most of the time while trying to use the apps, system did not seem taxed.
This was first on IE 9 (32 and 64 bit versions). My office laptop is also Win 7 64 and IE 9 and I tried it there and it works beautifully. Fast and smooth.
For testing, I downloaded IE 10 but found it was the same issue.
To test further, I tried it with the latest version of Firefox. Strangely, it works perfectly on the Firefox browser! So that is my solution for now. I just wanted to know why I couldn't use it with IE on my system.
I know this should work well in IE, any suggestions of things to try? I tried IE in safe mode with "iexplore -extoff" to rule out conflicts but it didn't help.

Documents will not open in Word 2013

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 06:10 PM PDT

I have documents from MacMillian publishing that are support material for textbooks, that will not open on Word 2013. They all crash word 2013 on opening. 

I have spent hours on trying to solve this and have been unable too. MacMillian has been unable to fix this and because the documents work on Office 2007 and 2010, they have been not very responsive to trying to find a solution. 

Some staff members can open the documents while others on the same version and same installation of Word 2013 can not. 

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. 

I should mention that this is happening with all the resources associated with about 6 different textbooks which we have 300+ copies of each. So I really need a permanent solution.

Highlighting text to change to Italics, changes entire document.

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 04:10 PM PDT

When I highlight a short paragraph and change the font to Itallics, the entire document changes to Italics instead of just the highlighted portion.  The same thing happens when trying to change one paragraph to single space.  The entire document changes when I only want the highligted portion to change.

Lost Winword Files

Posted: 11 Aug 2013 02:59 PM PDT

I have a Windows 8 laptop with Word 2013 and have recently (four days ago) deleted two Winword 2013 files from my Documents folder in my libraries by sending them to Recycle Bin and then deleting them permanently from there as well. Now, I want them back. So, I wonder:

- Is it possible to recover them or have I destroyed them forever so that I should give up on them?
- If it is indeed possible, how does one do it?

My knowledge and understanding of computers is severely limited, so I am very perplexed by my problem. I am hoping someone will guide me to a solution. Presuming it's possible to recover the files because the computer doesn't erase erased files completely until it runs out of space (or so I gather), which is not the case with my laptop, I have no clue how to do it. I have made some futile attempts, though:

- I tried the searching device that one activates on the right side of the screen by holding the mouse in the top right corner and then typed in the names of the lost files in the search box, only to get no results.
- I read something about .asd files and temporary files on the Internet but have been unable to find any .asd files since I have no idea where they are supposed to be (so it is possible that they exist) and have only found useless temporary files (again, possibly because I didn't look in the correct folders within the temporary files folder, found the wrong temporary files folder or failed to recognize something as important because it was named with a weird series of numbers and letters or something such). Again, no success.
- I have read something about opening Task Manager, closing all Winword operations, and then opening Winword hoping to see some automatically recovered files, presumably the ones I have deleted, but I can't see anything from Winword running in the Task Manager and I don't see why there would be any automatically recovered files since the files I deleted were saved and unaltered until they were deleted.
- I have Command Prompt (CMD) and I know that it can be used for locating files, but I have no idea how to use it because one needs to know various commands by heart, all of which appear to me as gibberish made of letters and additional symbols. Perhaps if I knew what to type into Command Prompt, I could find the files, though perhaps there is now way to search for deleted files this way.
- I tried downloading Restoration to recover the files but I couldn't even work it. 
- Finally, I have downloaded Pandora Recovery based on some advice I have read on various forums. This has been my most successful attempt, but still fruitless. Pandora Recovery managed to locate the deleted files for me and I have extracted/recovered them to a USB in .doc form, i.e. having the file type "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document". For some reason, their names have been somewhat altered and I have found more files than I had or have erased. Namely, the two files I erased were called "A naplóm 1" and "A naplóm 2". I have so far found about twenty files called "J - A naplóm (###...)", where the hashtags represent an apparently arbitrary series of numbers. Presumably, there are twenty files because may previous versions of the files have also been recovered, which is probable, since the recovered files have similar sizes, differing by several KB. However, I can't open any of these files because Winword tells me the file type is unsupported. That makes no sense to me because the recovered files have the extension .doc and I definitely have a function WinWord 2013 to open such files with, as I easily verify when opening any of my other .doc files from my libraries. The files have been encrypted with a password, if that is of any significance, but I know the password and keep entering it. I intentionally put in a wrong password to see what would happen, and I got a prompt that the password was wrong and not that the file type was unsupported. Therefore, I don't think the encryption is of any signficance. I have tried to alternatively open these lost files using NotePad and TextPad, but both programs produced a long mess of letters, numbers and additional symbols, apparently completely arbitrary. Perhaps they are some sort of code which can be converted to the original letter text, but I have no idea if that could be so and how it could be converted if it is indeed a code. 

P.S. I have not tried to open every single recovered file and the program is still recovering files (there are apparently 4 hours remaining), so maybe one of them will actually open without any such problems. I don't think it likely, though.

P.P.S. Although I opened the files with Word 2013 on my laptop, the file type of the lost files was given as "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" because my laptop is new and most of my files on it come from my previous laptop, which was Windows XP and had Microsoft Office 2003. I convert all new files I create here to 2003 types as well so that there are no discrepancies and all the icons in the list look the same. I don't know if this is of any significance for recovering the files but I have added it just in case.

Thank you in advance

I need to install office on a per computer basis instead of a per user

The only other thing I see that may help is to turn off the "Create Windows

Hi - sorry it didn't work for you - it took me several frustrating attempts
at everything MS recommended before this solution worked for me. I can't
understand why Microsoft are not addressing this issue. Having to manually

replace Office 2003 with Office XP

I'm not sure I understand...
Here a scenario: A workstation with Windoes 2K Prof and Office 2000 Prof
uses outlook. The main folder is a .pst file containing Inbox, Contacts,
etc. A new workstation is introduced with Windows XP Prof and Office 2003
Student/Teacher edition. The .pst file is copied to this new pc and Outlook
is set to use it as the main folder. I need to remove the Office 2003
student version and replace it with Office XP. Will I be able to use the

Upgrade Office 2000 to 2003.

Posted: 07 Dec 2004 01:23 PM PST

Office 2000 Series products tended to have
more applications (Photodraw, FrontPage, Small Business Tools)
from multiple CDs than the single CD Office 2003 has.

On installing Office 2003, either manually or from an
Admin Point it only replaces 'like programs' and leaves
the others. It usually will not remove the Office folders
to be sure that it isn't removing user files that someone
may have installed there. You'd need to do some cleanup
through another process if you want to yank out the old
product entirely.

Office 2003 usually puts itself into a subfolder of
a previous MS Office installation, but it doesn't
put itself into the same folder as Office 2000.
http://microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch4/DepB03.htm

The default installation point would be
<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11

You can try adding the INSTALLLOCATION=
property in the Settings file (setup.ini)
(you may still get a subfolder)
but what you may want to try is doing a manual
setup from your Admin point using verbose logging
to track to see what is going on.

The MST is basically mimicing the steps you'd
take in a manual install/upgrade so you should
see the same basic results by doing a manual install
and specifying a custom location.

Be sure that you're using the same User/profile/permissions
for the manual test that you used with the MST.
It may be that you don't have permissions needed to
work with all of the folders you're calling out or
the registry.

Yes I am using the Volume license product. The process does not require a
previous product for upgrade validation, however when installing Office 2003
it check to see if a previous version exists, and then will upgrade/migrate
accordingly. I have set the MST file to remove all previous versions,
however it does not actually remove all of the office 2000 componenets (tracs
are left), and does not remove the the off2000 folder it was prreviously
installed in. I have read several articles on the process of removing Office
2000, however there is no defined method that fully removes the product.

Not to sure where to go from here. >>

Hi garfield

Many thanks for that.

What seems to happen is that if you try to install the HTML editing
option the install actually bombs out, leaving some needed files
missing, not setting up the menu and not rolling back. Still it's 7/8
years old now :-)

I re-installed, excluding HTML editing, and both SP's went on OK.

It's not worth upgrading to a later version for me since 97 does all I
need it to.

Thanks again :-)
