I don't have an uninstall option that I could find, although I've seen this
feature in Office 2003.

Restore Outlook Icon to Desktop

Posted: 17 Jun 2005 05:56 AM PDT

Detect and repair has not worked in our case. Here's the real fix.

Add this key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]

It adds back the original icon with the correct right-click
functionality. Creating a shortcut is NOT the same thing.

There's another important reason for keeping old programs. According to the

office 2000 - feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

Posted: 16 Jun 2005 06:20 AM PDT

Jason,

1. It makes no differenece if the user has Admin permissions on the
workstation.

2. I can uninstall Office 2000 sucessuflly.

3. I can re-install Office 2000 and the error goes away.

However, as I said in my orginial post, I'm not looking for a solution that
involves re-installing Office. I know that will work but I have over 100
workstations and I don't want to have to go to each one and re-install
Office.

Here's what I know:

1. The only change to the workstations was removing the computers from the
old domain (Windows 2000) and adding them to the the new domain (Windows
2003).

2. The users have admin rights to their workstation.

3. The location of the admin installation point has not changed during the
network upgrade. It is the same server, share name, and mapped drive and
the server was not upgraded. It is still a Windows 2000 Server.

4. The user has full read/write access to the admin installation point.

5. Resynchronizing the workstation with the installation point using the
msiexec command or by running setup from the installation point does not
work.

Any ideas?

Fatal Error when attempting reinstall or repair

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 04:22 PM PDT

Hm. It may be that you didn't have enough disk space for a local
installation source. I only know of two cases where it won't be created:
1) if you tell it to remove the setup files at the end of the installation
(in one of the final setup screens), or 2) if you don't have enough disk
space, then it can't create the LIS.

This may give you more information:

Office Upgrade via GPO and Transforms

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 12:01 PM PDT

Yeah, the first one I know about. I have set up an admin install point with
features that we would want, including the username for outlook, etc. The
second link led me to believe that the only way to make sure only the updates
are brought into the current installation on the client machines instead of a
full reinstall with all of the patches is to run it from cmd line, such as in
a login script with the flag reinstall to only affect the updated
applications. Kinda stinks that you cannot do this in a transform, because
it would be much easier to manage.

Why deploying Outlook after Office resets the patch status?

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 09:20 AM PDT

Hello again,

Yes and not. Yes, I can use CMW to "add" Outlook to the installation but in
this manner the install process CAN'T uninstall old Outlook and I'll have a
big problem (this is stated in resource kit).

I have Outlook outside of the main installation process because Outlook
isn't used in our environment: we use IMAP servers. But some people want to
use Outlook to access these IMAP servers, so I must create an standalone
Outlook installation.

I've "solved" the problem with the patches by applying (chain) the same
patches that I apply in the Office installation but I don't know if this will
result in problems with the Office installation itself.

Any more idea?

Thank you.

installed infopath. Rest of office is 2000. Now OU thinks i'm 2K3

Posted: 13 Jun 2005 10:27 AM PDT

Hi Susan,
Hope all is well with you......just to recap and finish up I wanted to go
back to my original needs. I do need to keep 2000 for a while for work
projects but wanted to get moving with infoPath. I will install the entire
suite soon enough so I'll wait till then for infopath too. The live meeting
statement was a wild guess on my part. It seemed odd to me that the webcasts
were the only thing I found not working after the install as I view them
often and disabling AUTHZAX.dll got them working again. I only tied it to
Live meeting due to the fact both office 2003 adn live meeting had their own
entries for IE. It was just a guess though.....who knows why disabling that
file allowed webcasts to start working after the office 2K3 infopath install.
Someone I'm sure would know but I certainly don't. Just a guess. What
happened was I would go to an on demand webcast, hit register(funny you have
to follow the same steps as a live webcast), login to passport, enter a name
to be known by(again why? it's on demand ) and then when I clicked the icon
that takes you to the final screen that gives choice of wmp or some generic
viewer, it would give me a message that the webcast requested Could Not Be
Found. No matter what webcast. I tried probably 25. Again disabling the IE
component, whatever AUTHZAX is, did the trick.
Lastly, you mention that Microsoft does not recommend mixing Office
versions, however in this one case, I read specifically that InfoPath was
the one app that could be installed with Office 2000. In fact it is supposed
to work with Access 2000 as a data source just fine for example. The article
also talked about using it with SQL 2000 and some other non office 2003 apps.
It was a Microsoft article in an MSDN Flash that contained that info and
prompted me to install it. So my adventure was based on info right from the
source. Ok, i've now told you way more than you needed to know about my
little experience.
Thanks for all your information. This is kind of unique situation but I did
learn some valuable things and feel more confident about 2003 from things
you've said.
thanks again.

Uninstalling MsAccess and Installing MsAccess Runtime

Hi,

thanks for the info.

We have managed to solve this issue.
Running a SP3 update seems to fix this.
I think this is possibly due to the Access Runtime possibly installing older
files than what was previously installed by MsAccess.
We have found that a few machines wouldn't take the SP3 update, this is due
to the Pc not having had the SP1a update.

Be very careful though with mail servers. There are very good reasons
why they are not "open" to external connections in the default
install. An port open to the outside (especially 25) is a security
risk which can be exploited if some flaw is found in the mail
server. Moreover if your server is misconfigured it could act as a
spam relay. So take the time to really understand SMTP and what you
are doing, maybe set up some firewalling. And avoid sendmail, it's one
of the most complex software piece ever. There are alternatives
(postfix, exim,...) which are more simple to master and way powerful

ext3 and reiserfs journalling - what is the difference and which is better?

Posted: 18 Jan 2005 04:42 PM PST


"Peter" <net.nz> wrote in message
news:paradise.net.nz... 

If you *ARE* running large systems, such as multi-Terabyte RAID arrays that
need their file systems merged into one master array, it can make a big
difference. Ext3 is Ext2 on steroids, a workhorse of the Linux world. It's
limitations have been fixed one at a time over the course of years. Reiserfs
is more specifically aimed at large arrays. It's pretty darned good, but
writing new tools to fully use new features (such as large scale storage
arrays) becomes much more complex because it is more complex.

In most uses, the performance difference between the two is negligible. Ext3
had a problem with too many thousands of files in one directory until after
the 2.6 kernel came out with htrees, and you may see a modest performance
improvement with ReiserFS with large local disks, but it's extremely useful
to be able to repartition Ext3 partitions reliable and to use the disk
labeling trick to boot from different OS's on different parts of the same
hardware when you re-arrange your disks, especially with SCSI disks
re-ordering themselves all the time.

Stable is nice, but hardware changes so quickly that it's usually worth
simply doing a forklift upgrade of your servers every 3 years or so, to get

off your shelves before old, difficult to replace components become too hard
to get.

It is extremely rare to have the same servers of 3 or 4 years ago able to
match the performance of a modern machine of less size, space, and power

Debian as a File Server to Win98

Posted: 16 Jan 2005 05:23 PM PST

> Can I do this?

It can be done.
 

That question is moot. The Win98 clients will only see the share as it
is exported by SAMBA (SMB) and will not know how the files are stored
internally by Linux.

Install the samba and samba-doc and look at the samba doc files that
get installed:
# apt-get install samba
# apt-get install samba-doc
# dpkg -L samba-doc|more

Samba is capable of supporting anything from a small home LAN like you
describe to an enterprise scale infrastructure so the documents may be
a bit daunting, but there are some examples of very simple
configurations that probably match what you are trying to do.

[discuss] [unsubscribed posters] which has nothing to do with

Posted: 09 Mar 2010 01:45 PM PST

Hi Barbara, Mike, Paul, others

Well, here is the opinion part.

(opinion, since I'm not raising my hand to
do the work - deleting at *this* point is a
reasonable thing to do with this post therefore)

I've never tried to compare how things are done at
the web forum and on the ML - but I will make this
an exception.

There is a reasonable percentage of the
'solution providers' and moderators at the forum for
whom that is their primary (or only) activity within the
OO.o community.

ML and web forum - both are just a communication
channel and share some attributes with all
communication channels, human discourse or digital.

They are real time, interrupt driven and when 'events'
happen that need servicing there is a finite time frame
in which it needs to be finished, else the actual
exchange rate in the channel suffers.

- Here is the advice section -
(even more suspect regarding usefulness)

Relax - It isn't really broken.

The real problem *was* the same problem that
plagues many things here, lack of human resources.

What happens then is that it becomes much to
easy for the people that are willing to put in
the time, to do the work, to become over extended,
that's really IMO all it was.

For many things that fact of life can be accepted.

This wasn't one of them.

Paul, Barbara, Mike, NoOp, other names, you all
know them, are the folks that need to be
empowered to handle the 'events'.

How many of you, I don't know, talk with the folks
that run the other language MLs and see what's
working there - figure that traffic is going to scale
up over time - and you'll know the answer.

Then it just comes down to trust - if we (OO.o) can't
trust you folks enough to give what access rights
you need to actually perform the task we are
asking you to do - we all have a problem.

and with that I'll get out of the kitchen,

Drew

Microsoft Word - Word maximizes taskbar windows when a document is opened

Microsoft Word - Word maximizes taskbar windows when a document is opened

Word maximizes taskbar windows when a document is opened

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 02:25 PM PDT

Several weeks ago, I discerned a frustrating, aberrant behavior in Word 2010. I have tried every remedy I know and scoured the internet to no avail. The aberrancy occurs when several Word document windows are minimized in the Taskbar. When a new document is then opened, Word resurrects (maximizes) several — and sometimes all — of the minimized documents. Now the screen is cluttered with documents awakened from their Taskbar sleep, documents with no business being on the screen and that must be re-minimized.


The following do not influence the aberrancy:

   • whether documents are docx or docm

   • whether documents are opened by shortcuts or directly in the File Manager

   • whether windows from other applications are open or minimized (i.e. the aberrancy occurs only with Word documents


The only thing I find that affects the aberrancy is changing a "Word Options" setting via "File > Options > Advanced > Display". When "Show all windows in the Taskbar" is unchecked, the aberrant behavior stops. Along with that however, all the Word windows — except for the active one — disappear from the screen and the Taskbar, something that's unacceptable for me.


I've used Word for longer than a decade but rarely needed multiple open and/or minimized windows until recently. Conceivably, the behavior is normal, was there along and I was just too dumb to perceive it. It's also possible that I inadvertently changed some setting that triggered this. In hopes the aberrancy can be eliminated by any means, I readily accept due humiliation if I've done something stupid.


Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

"Red flag" device in Word

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 12:08 PM PDT

I have a word-usage folder containing 26 files. Each file contains many single words beginning with one of the letters of the alphabet.

 

In writing Word documents I'd like to run in the background a 'red flag' device to tell me when I have used a word that is listed in the usage folder.

Is there a way I can make a 'red flag' device? Thanks.

Use keyboard to expand AutoCorrect Options context menu

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 11:47 AM PDT

When you paste text from another application, you can press and release the Ctrl key to expand the Paste Options context menu which automatically appears beneath the pasted text.

Is there a similar key command to expand the AutoCorrect Options context menu when Word has changed some text?

Stop Windows 8 touch-screen keyboard from popping up?

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 11:24 AM PDT

Office Home & Business 2013 on Asus S400C continually crashes when opening/printing etc.

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 11:23 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I have the above problem. I have disabled all add-ins under the 'file', 'options' route - as advised by many forums - I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, also as advised by forums. I don't have Aabbyy. My printer is a Samsung SCX-3405W. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled it, but the same problem keeps occuring. As soon as I try and print, Word crashes. Potential issues I can see:

 

- I have three versions of Microsoft SQL Server

- I have six versions of Microsoft Visual C + +

- Although I have a product key for Microsoft Office Home & Business 2013 (purchased and downloaded online) it doesn't appear in my Microsoft Account, where it still says my trial subscription of 365 has expired and needs to be renewed. The email address I purchased it with is the same as my account, so I don't know why it's not showing there

 

Does anyone have any advise for this specific issue that might be of help (I have already trawled through all of the generic response forums, which haven't come up with any solutions)?

 

Many thanks,

 

 

Landscape on iPad

I just signed up for Office 365 University and I"m installing Office Mobile on my iPad.  I know it is basically an iPhone app, but I can't seem to get it to work in landscape orientation on my Pad.  Is this a design issue or am I doing something wrong?  It works in landscape on my iPhone.

Word 2013 has encountered an error

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 10:46 AM PDT

I purchased word 2013 about six weeks ago, and all was going well. But, since yesterday, word 2013 says it will have to close because of an error. It offered me two options: the quick fix and the not-so-quick fix. I opted for the quick fix, but it would not finish. It said it should not take long, but after 2 hours nothing was happening. So I logged out and then tried again, this time using the other method. After an hour of this it is on step 1 of 4. Please can I know how long this is going to take?

My true DATE CREATED properties changed when I added tags to my MS Word 2010 docs (I did it in batch via MS Explorer)

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 09:54 AM PDT

I have 400 documents. I want to add various tags to each to make searching easier. I selected all 400 in MS Explorer view and went to their 'collective' Properties and then >> Details.

Under the TAGS field I entered a value and pressed >> APPLY.

Now all 400 are correctly showing the new tag value, but the DATE CREATED has changed to today (when I added the tag value).

I neeeeed the original DATE CREATED. 

Please help!

Control-Backspace deletes previous word AND the preceding space - why?

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 08:08 AM PDT

This miniscule change from Office 2010 is surprisingly irritating when trying to type a document.  Any time I wish to rephrase or retype something and I use Ctrl-Space to delete the previous word, it also deletes the space immediately preceding the word I wanted to delete.  This breaks the flow of typing, as I'm required to always hit the spacebar before typing my correction.  In the frequent occurrence that I forget (due to a higher typing/thought/dictation speed), I'm left with multiple conjoined words, which then must be manually split.  This behavior is counter-intuitive, inconsistent (no program - IE, Firefox, the Windows 8.1 searchbox, Notepad - behaves this same way), and forces the same action (adding a space before continuing to type) a very high percentage of the time when this can be, should be, and was automatic.  Someone screwed up the boundary conditions in a loop...

No, it's not a "crucial" bug, but it's maddening when I encounter it and must mitigate it manually on the order of dozens of times per document/editing session.  Even more irritating is that this changed from 2010's "normal" operation to do this.

My questions: Is there a way to revert the behavior without reverting to Office 2010?  Was this behavior introduced intentionally?

Highlighting multiple fields

I am writing a book in Word 2003.  It has 36 chapters, and I have decided to use a different font for the headings.  Is there any way to change all of them at the same time?

Word 2013 appearance messed-up

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 07:35 AM PDT

I've recently downloaded and installed Office 2013. When I started using Word, it works smooth and fine.
But suddenly something unpleasant occurred: the whole appearance of Word turns into a scrambled-egg.


So I quit and start over. It works fine, but for a few second later the same thing happened.
Not only the spreadsheet, but also the toolbar, the file menu, etc. suffer the same thing.
I quit and start over again, the problem still there.


I've tried to repair this via control panel, but after rebooting the problem still there.
Is it because of my machine? But office 2010 just works fine prior to this.

Thanks for your assistance. I really need this fixed immediately for doing my assignments.

Linked (paragraph and character) dimmed in Modify Style

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 07:29 AM PDT

When I modify a Paragraph style via the Modify Style dialog by changing Paragraph to Linked (paragraph and character) in the Style based on drop down, and save it, I note that the new style type, Linked (paragraph and character) is dimmed. If I want to change it back, I can't now. I found I have to delete the style and recreate it to get it back to Paragraph. Is there a better way? Thanks in advance for any help.

Cant open 2013 word docs or app on Acer laptop

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 06:48 AM PDT

Randomly I lost the documents in my library so followed some advice and deleted library and then restored to previous library. That worked to get documents back except now they wont open at all except on Wordpad. The Word App wont open either. No error message - just nothing happens when any word document is clicked on. Help?

Where are the "E-mail" and "Address" quick parts in MS Word 2013?

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 06:32 AM PDT

The dropdown menu for Quick Parts>Document Property only has "Company E-mail" and "Company Address".

But in some of the premade coverpages in Word 2013, I clearly see Quick Parts for "E-mail" and "Address" being used.

I would like to use these and/or even make some of my own labeled Quick Parts, and I need some instructions on how to do this.

Thank you.

Office 2013 will not open

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I've been having difficulty accessing my Microsoft office application for the last two days. I click on an office icon  (word, power point, excel) in the start menu of windows 8 the loading circle appear then disappears and nothing opens. I received an email that my 365 subscription was ending on September 20th, but as far as I remember I purchased Office 2013 when my laptop initial office version expired. Trouble is I don't remember my product key ( so I haven't tried to reinstall to see if there was an issue with the file). I have also gone into program files on the desktop to see if I could open it another way. When I go into office, I search word but don't see the application (the folder is also named office 2015). I see parts of the application ("word.cnv.dll, Wordicon, etc . . .) but not the app. When I  press on the shortcut for word it tells me windows is searching for winword.exe, and then asks to fix the shortcut. I press yes. When I press it again it goes through the same procedure. I am now completely lost on what the hex is going on with my pc?

Update: I see the file in office 15>root>office 15 I click it and nothing

When I copy and post from Internet Explorer 10 to Word 2007 - I get codes or a field box where links are located - for example Facebook and Twitter

Posted: 29 Sep 2013 03:15 AM PDT

When I am trying to copy and paste the contents of any webpage into my Microsoft Word 2007 document I gain a text box and codes such as {java-script request} and the symbols are in text boxes.

 

I sometimes get the links to go the website to share the page or a yellow scroll to show that there are options to drop down, as I have had this issue before.

 

I basically want as much of the function and links from a webpage to paste into a Word document.

 

I also notice that the hyperlinks are not underlined as in my prior documents when I insert the hyperlink.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

I have looked at this article - but I have not had any luck -

Setting up a default work folder in Word 365

Posted: 28 Sep 2013 06:13 PM PDT

I would appreciate some help. I want to be able, by default, to go to the exact folder in which I opened a document when I want to save it under a new name. I also want to go back to that same folder directly when I'm finished editing and "saving as" and now want to open a new document.

Another thread here suggested that I tell Word not to use "Backstage" in saving; this has no effect. At present, I am trying to work with documents in SkyDrive, but if that's part of the problem, I can revert to using the "My Documents" folder and save completed work to a thumb drive.

To explain again, after I have edited the first document in a session, I want to be able to save it as the original name plus "TJ EDITED," close it, click on "open" and find myself in the same, exact folder where the previous file was saved. Even with "Don't use backstage" checked, when I click on "open," I have to choose among "My Documents," "Computer," and "Skydrive," and if I choose the latter then drill down to the folder I am working in.

So after I edit and save (as) one document in "Skydrive\Assignment 3," I want Word to pop open that folder again so I can choose another document to edit. That has been default behavior in Word over many versions, and I hope it's still possible to do so instead of sorting through all the possible locations.

Thanks.

Proofing language keeps changing after I use it, reverts back to English, leaving me with red-underlines everywhere!

Posted: 28 Sep 2013 04:10 PM PDT

I cite a lot of foreign languages in my writing--German, French, Spanish and Latin.  It's great that I can proof in these languages, but why, after I tell Word, for example, "This string is in German," Why doesn't it remember it?  

Computers are supposed to be good at remembering!  Next thing I know, it's underlining perfectly good English words because it somehow leaps to the decision that they are German!  

Question: Is there any way to set the proofing language for a string, and keeping it that way.  Living languages evolve, but a sentence written in English or German stays in English or German.  Why is this so hard for Word to figure out? Is there a solution?
