how to re-insttll OLD version of Office (X)

Posted: 16 May 2008 11:43 AM PDT

Hi Greg -

Just a couple of thoughts FWIW;

If you can see your way clear I'd suggest buying the full version (whatever
edition) of Mac Office 2004. It's a more stable & much improved version than
X, and X is already end-of-life which means there won't be any further
updates. Office 2004 will be more viable for a longer period of time.

I've also seen some suggestions that X doesn't (or may not continue to) run
particularly well in Leopard. You are more likely to run into issues for
which there may be no resolution as the Mac OS and device drivers continue
to be updated.

Also, I specified the full version (as opposed to an upgrade) so that you
won't have to hold on to the Office 98 CD in case of a need to reinstall -
it really won't do you much good for any other reason. It's fine to do it
the upgrade way, but from my perspective it's more advantageous to re-invest
in the software every 2-3 versions:-)... But that's a subjective call.

Normally, when you install, you complete the process. I do agree that a Read

I'm not sure what in the update triggered Entourage to upgrade when you
turned on your computer, but it's normal for this type of process to lock
you out of other functions on your computer.

When install and updating, caches need to be rebuild and after restarting
this should flush caches. Note it is also recommended that any open
application's fonts could be affected if left open during an update like
this.

The Entourage Help Blog is the best place to find tips and help on
installing. We try to advise you so there are no surprises.

[ANN] Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) released

Posted: 13 May 2008 01:54 PM PDT

Hi Phillip:

No. An "Upgrade" adds functionality or new features. It increments the
left-most number in the version: so, 11.3.9 to 12.0.0

The current file is a Service Release: it does not add any functions or
features at all, it simply repairs the ones that were meant to work in the
first place.

Companies DO sometimes step over the line and add functionality in a
Service Release, but they get yelled at every time they do it by the System
Administrators of the world.

If it's a Service Release or Service Pack, the Sys Admin does not have to
re-test or re-qualify their operating environment. For an Upgrade, they do.

A "Service Release", by the way, will apply stand-alone to any version of
the software going back to the original shipped version. It contains
complete replacement files. (That's why they're so big...)

A "Service Pack" (sometimes called an "Update") does not contain a complete
set of files, and requires previous service packs to have already been
applied before it can install.

Hope this helps

Reading layout for MS Word

Posted: 12 May 2008 10:55 AM PDT

only problem it seems is that on my 13.3 macbook, the text is too small on two-page print preview. =T. That's really the main advantage of "reading layout." The text size can be adjusted, displaying more or less text on the two pages (i.e. page 1 of your document can be split into two reading panes).

Hi GardenerGirl,

1. Scan the recipe page.

2. Save the image file.

2. Open a Word document and Insert>Picture (image file).

3. Size and position the image as desired.

4. Create and position as many Text box(es) as necessary
to hold the recipe text etc.

5. Set text box to transparent (no fill), remove borders (no lines).

6. Save this document as a Word template. ( Blank Recipe Sheet)

You may use this document to enter and save completed recipes.

Alternatively;

Pre-print a number of "blank" copies of the first template.

Create a second template, from the first template, by deleting
the image and retaining just the text boxes.

Type deatails of recipe into this second template.

Save as new document, presumably referring to recipe in name.

Print the recipe details onto the pre-printed "blank" sheets.

Keep a small stock of pre-printed image sheeets.

Works 7.0: documents sent as e-mail attachments cannot be opened

Posted: 15 Oct 2005 03:13 PM PDT

You can save the file using the "save as" command on the
file menu in other formats. WPS is WORKS, DOC is WORD, and
RTF is rich text which is universal and the best format for
sending to people that you have not established a protocol
for file attachments.
It is a good idea to always include some details in the
plain text body of an email that describes the attachment as
to file type and what program opens the file. You can also
send a link to the Microsoft WORKS and or OFFICE pages where
people can download file converters or viewer for different
programs.

Unlock a protected document

To remove all protection from a document, you might need to know the password that was applied to the document. Or you might have to be listed as an authenticated owner for the document.

If you are an authenticated owner of the document, or if you know the password for removing document protection, do the following:

  1. On the Review tab, in the Protect group, click Restrict Editing.

  1. In the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane, click Stop Protection.
  2. If you are prompted to provide a password, type the password.

 

when I go  to step 2. there is no STOP PROTECTION entry at all.  So what do I do

Can't remove horizontal line - not a border or graphic line

I am having issues with horizontal lines above the end notes in a manuscript.  I have already tried to remove it through various border options on both the body and header/footer, which have not worked.  I cannot select it or delete it any way.  I don't know what the original creator did to make the line; as a last-ditch attempt, I tried to copy and paste individual paragraphs into a new document - and the line is still there.

 

The formatting needs to be correct to submit to a publisher, so I can't just live with it.

Every time I open Word the User Account Control pops up and asks if I want to allow this program to make changes to my computer. I have to click yes, and it's getting kind of annoying! It only happens with Word; not Outlook, Excel, or Publisher. How can I make it stop?

How can I get rid of the phrase "you're good to go" from spell checker in Microsoft Office.

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 07:30 AM PDT

How can I get rid of the phrase "you're good to go" from spell checker in Microsoft Office.

This is an American phrase and as I am English I do not want this every day on spell checker.

How can I have this removed. My language setting is set to UK English, why do I therefore have to have this American English.

Would love to say "you're good to go" to "you're good to go!"

Need to disable UNDO (EditUndo) in Word 2007 to prevent citations/source manager crashing

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 05:23 AM PDT

I have established the cause of word citations crashing with large number of references/citations/sources- see this thread.

To work around this problem I need to disable the undo command.

I have tried various macro solutions based on forum posts:

1) creating a macro with the name EditUndo to 'repurpose' the inbuilt undo command - this does not work in word 2007 and above
2) ActiveDocument.UndoClear just clears the stack at that time, but does NOT disable it, so is not a solution.
3) Save does not clear the undo stack in word 2007 and up (and like ActiveDocument.UndoClear it wouldn't help anyway)
4) Protect document does not help because I can't work with it while it's protected.

I REALLY need a way to switch off the undo function in word temporarily.

Can anyone suggest a way?

Note to Microsoft: You need to have a switch/setting to allow deliberate disabling of the undo stack temporarily (with warning messages).
Also you really need to work on the citations/reference handling code - there are a number of code limitations that have not been addressed in 2 generations of office - see the bibword site.

Question About Table Content Alignments Becoming (Slightly) Unaligned

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 03:59 AM PDT

Greetings.

I have several large MS Word 2010 documents that contain many tables, one after another.

Most of the tables have three or four columns. The material in these columns is frequently aligned in certain rows (when appropriate) when the material is associated.  I will try to illustrate the problem as follows (below is a small "table" of three columns):

Col 1               Col 2              Col 3

aaaaaaaaa        aaaaaaa
bbbbbb                                bbbbb

ccccccccc

ddddddd         ddddddd       ddddddd
                        eeeeeee        eeeee


And so on.  Notice how the rows are aligned nicely. But after I open and close the documents containing the tables, these row tend to become unaligned, slightly out of whack, perhaps because the columns contain paragraphs of different fonts and sizes (this can't be helped), say the ddddddds in Col 3 drop down very slightly.

I know this explanation may be irritatingly confusing, but I am wondering if one of the MS Word experts knows what the problem is.

That is, why do these row alignments become distorted (albeit in small amounts)? Is it because all items in the Tables must be of the same font and size? But if the content in the tables is not touched, why the distortion (albeit slight)?

1) Ensure you have not been turned into an open relay.
2) If mail is slow to leave the queue, please either wait or purge the DNS
cache.
3) Don't use file based AV on an Exchange server or exclude all the
directories that Exchange uses.

Cannot mail via Distribution group!!!

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 01:11 PM PST

Okay, I'm a little confused then by what you mean you can't send mail
external via the distribution group. Does this mean you are trying to email
the distribution group using an internet email account (e.g. hotmail, yahoo,
home isp, .etc) or you are trying to send something using the distribution
group as the "from" email address in Outlook when connected to Exchange?

Thanks for the links, Mark.
But if a user is restricted to send external mail, but need to be allowed to
send to 3 pre-defined external addresses, how would this be implemented?

Likewise with receiving from selected external addresses... how?

MX records for the server

Posted: 22 Mar 2005 10:15 AM PST

The way a host should react to that is to attempt to send to the lowest MX
record (10) and then try the highest record (20). Since you have 2 valid MX
records a host that has an issues delivering to the first should attempt the
second. You DSL line may not be as 100% reliable as your T1 or you could be
going over your bandwidth or etc... This will cause hosts to try your second
server which is off-line.

Get rid of the second MX record until you are ready to bring the new T1 up.

If you would post the domain name we could troubleshoot a little better, or
you could go here: http://www.dnsreport.com/ and get some information.

The PC's Autologon as the computer number assigned to it, but it is logging

system32/config/system corrupt OS still running

Posted: 21 Mar 2005 03:41 PM PST

Mark:
This is a Member Server. No amber lights, mirrored volumes. I think the
problem has been solved by MS Tech from Canada. There is documented problem
if you defrag the system volume that has mounted volume on another disk. The
MFT develops problems finding files. It took a week to get correct answer
and a number for files were deleted by chkdsk. The server restarted ok the
first time, after that it wanted to run chkdsk on each restart. Backup found
a number of corrupt files that is one reason I new I still had a problem.
DLLCache folder was empty after restart. Hot fixes in KB891189 and KB890018
were installed and seemed to have corrected the problem.

Hope this helps anyone else you has similar problems. Seems best not to
mount volume to system volume, at least not until SP1 is out.
