Why a trial when I paid $156.48 for Office

Posted: 18 Nov 2005 09:28 PM PST


Did you have trial version already installed on your machine before you
bought the retail version? If so then you did not follow the proper
procedure to install te retail version. You need to uninstall your
trial version before you install the retail version.

Office 2k SBE on Windows 2k with limited user permissions...

Posted: 18 Nov 2005 01:06 PM PST

Be advised that upgrades from win9x almost always fail for any number of
reasons. Save yourself some time and trouble, given that you'll more than
likely end up with an unstable OS with all the remnants/ corruption left
behind from the upgrade. Best to blow it all away and go for the clean
install.

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks.
The set of four install disks can be created from your Win2k CD-rom; change
to the \bootdisk directory on the cd-rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos)
or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.

During Windows 2000 setup, at some point, will want to confirm the previous
operating system for the upgrade; at that point you'll simply insert the
qualified product install CD for it to verify. Then the install will
proceed.

Check the pc, mb or hardware manufacturer's web site for the latest bios and
or Windows 2000 drivers for your devices.

Be sure to apply these to your new install before connecting to any network.

Office 2003 CD Has Read Errors

Keep in mind that there's a difference between a license and the media
on which the software exists. As long as you have the license key, you
can use any copy of the CD to install the application. I don't think
that any manufacturer has gotten to the point where license key's are
tied to a specific manufactured CD or other media.

If the surface of the CD is damaged, there are methods by which it may be
"re-surfaced". Check with your local record - oops - music store. They
typically carry the devices for such things. I have successfully used the
method in the previous post as well. Making a copy of the disk seemed to do

since most of the assistance needed is not all that "technical" in the first

Office, Mac, and Font Management

Posted: 20 May 2009 11:18 AM PDT



<com> wrote in message
news:caR9absDaxw... 

Hi Stephen;

No disrespect intended, but I believe you may be misinterpreting what the
article is saying. The actions taken actually help *avoid* font issues by
relocating only those fonts for which newer, more complete versions are
being installed. Those versions are older, out of date & can eventually
cause problems regardless of whether Office is ever installed, but the
installation is replacing them with newer, more robust versions of the same
font. The fact that you had only the one font relocated should actually be
rather comforting :-)

Also, there's nothing in OS X that "automagically" manages fonts -- if there
were, most of what Office moves wouldn't be there in the first place. The OS
permits anyone & any program to install whatever fonts they want - including
variations on the same ones. OS X does include the Font Book utility
application but it's up to the user to run it as they see fit.
Unfortuantely, most users don't even know of its existance, let alone how to
use it. Second only to graphics I believe fonts & font management is the
least understood aspect of general computer usage. As a result, many users
create their own problems by grabbing fonts from anywhere they can obtain
them [free] in addition to those installed by many of the apps they
buy/try/beg/borrow/steal. Not going off on that tangent, however, the point
is that most of those sources *do not* do the "housekeeping" service that
Office provides, so the system winds up with as many as half a dozen
different variations of the same font. Conflict is inevitable.

Also, the alternative to not install the new fonts is offered as an
*option*, not as advice or recommendation. IMHO, the only people who should
exercise that option are those who are under mandate to use specific
versions of specific fonts & aren't permitted to deviate from them... But
those folks probably don't have the latitude to do their own installations
to begin with.

bar. Once MAU is launched, select "Keep in Dock"
* Quit all Microsoft applications (Easy way: log out, hold Shift key down

* Drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash.

* Reinstall Office 2008 from your original installation disk.

* Update to 12.1.7

can't install office 2004 update version 11.5.0

I had the same problem as nancybee. I'm trying to install 11.5.0, which appears to be the earliest version I can install (I tried installing all the later versions and worked my way down to 11.5.0).

Customization and gripes on Office 2008

The term Formula Bar refers to the entire bar which includes 3 segments
beginning with the Name Box on the left end. The segment you're referring to
is actually the Editing Field which displays the content of the active cell
regardless of what that content may be.

The Formula Bar as well as any others except the Standard Toolbar can be
Docked beneath the Menu bar or on any side of the screen -- they don't have
to "float".

Can I recover appointments if mswkscal.wcd file is corrupt?

Posted: 29 Aug 2006 11:04 AM PDT

Hi Cindy,

I think that the msworkswkscal.wcd file is an Access database file. You may
try to rename the extension of a copy of your corrupted calendar (from wcd
to mdb).
Then you should be able to open it with Ms Acces or a compatible software.
(I cannot confirm that the data are easy to recover then)
(I'm surprised that you got a blank calendar after restoring your backup)

Problems with Works Suite/Word

Posted: 25 Aug 2006 11:12 AM PDT

Hi,

If you could previously open Word okay and this problem recently occurred
then I would suspect a corrupt template (the screen which displays when
opening)

Perhaps Microsoft Word has a corrupt template (normal.dot).

Word will create a new template (normal.dot) if you delete or rename the
existing normal.dot to normal.old.

Assure Word is closed and Windows XP is set to view "hidden files and
folders".

Search for Normal.dot and rename it normal.old.

Typical location of normal.dot in Windows xp....
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

Start Word a new template will be created.

Another thought: Some other program (application) may be interfering. To
eliminate other programs, Start the computer in Safe Mode, does Word open?

Re: Uninstall/Install, when uninstalling not all components are removed, if
the corruption is there, when reinstalling they may be reused. It is best
to use the cleanup utilities.

Follow the instruction in this link on how to use the cleanup utilities.

I have a Word document that is merged with an Access account I created, where for any given semester it can create a merge for each class, filling in the teacher's name, course title, course code, semester, etc. at the top.

I'd like to take this a step further. In the Access database, in addition to the teacher's name, course code, etc. I also have the number of students enrolled in the class. How would I program a macro that can take the quantity of students and automatically print that number of copies for that class?

Thank you for your help.

Problems with 2013 Microsoft

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 10:47 AM PST

I recently got a new computer with Microsoft Word 2013.  I had 2010 on my old computer.  I was told they were compatible.

When I open a file from 2010 in the Microsoft Word 2013 it changes all my quotation marks to @# to weird symbols.  It changes my apostrophe to = the equal sign.  

How do I fix this??

I can't open any of my Office Programs.

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 10:38 AM PST

I recently bought Office 2013 about a month ago and it installed without a hitch. Then 2-3 days ago it just stopped working. When I click on a saved Word document or try open a new one this message comes up "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (2)". This is really annoying because I really need to use Word as I have lots of work and revision to do for my Exams at the end of this year and I don't have £100 to spend on another Office booklet thing. If you know how to fix this please help out, much appreciated. GrantVolrath

Problems with emailing a Word 2013 Document to Outlook.com

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 09:52 AM PST

Hello,


I was trying to attach a Word 2013 document to a co-worker. But when I did click on share and the email attachment, I get a message saying "Word couldn't send email because of MAPI failure: Unspecified Error". I should mention to that I have an Outlook.com account, and I am only trying to send one email. So how do I connect Word 2013 to Outlook.com so that there will not be any problems sending Word documents?


Problem creating Mailing Labels in Word Mail Merge (only the first label prints)

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 09:12 AM PST

Hi, Its holiday time and I am trying to create a set of mailing labels.  My addresses are in in Excel, (Columns are Title, First, last, Street and City/State/zip).

I created the label template in Word using the Avery Number, and added <Address> to the first label.  All subsequent labels show <Next Record>.  Preview seems to work, it displays the first label and I can step through the names one at a time.  However, when I select create and print, all I get is the first label at the top of the page.  The other 29 labels are blank.  There are no empty rows or columns in my address list,  How do I get it to print all of the labels on the page?

Excel 2013 and Word 2013 Won't Load Files from Hard Drive

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 08:11 AM PST

I just installed the 2013 Office Pro suite and I'm having problems with Excel 2013 and Word 2013. They open okay, but when I try to load a Word Doc or Excel File from my hard drive I get the error that Word/Excel has stopped working and get to either select Quit Program or Search for Solution and Quit Program. When I double click at existing Word or Excel file on my system, I get the same error and Word/Excel won't load at all. I've tried the Program Repair feature, but that didn't fix the problem. Nothing comes up off the internet search to fix this issue.  My Excel 2010 and Word 2010 still work just fine so I'm using those until I get 2013 fixed. Can someone please help?

saveas not working in WORD VBA

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 08:03 AM PST

I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 8. A WORD 2007 macro stopped processing the "saveas" command. Here is the syntax I am using, that worked fine in Vista:

 

    ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=TxtSalva, FileFormat:= _
        wdFormatText, LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, _
        WritePassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
         SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
        False

In Windows 8, this code line causes it to opens the File Picker dialog with blank filename field:

 

 

although the behaviour should be to save my TXT file with the name in TxtSalva variable and move to the next code line.

 

Could anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance, Alex

2010 Word Track Changes

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 07:39 AM PST

I have a document to which I have already made changes.  Additional changes are required, but the original changes also need to remain visable as changes (i.e. red, underlined copy for new language, bubbles for deletions, etc.).  How do I keep the original changes and add new ones so the second set of changes is differentiated from the first?

Printer settings not saving

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 07:37 AM PST

I have a user that is trying to print a Word 2013 document.  When you look at the printer properties in Word the paper says heavyweight paper.  When you change it to use any other kind of paper it will not save the setting.  The default printer properties says automatically select.  I even changed it to use plain paper and when you open any word document it still says heavyweight paper.

any ideas?

Spacing Before and After doesn't seem to be cumulative in Word 2013

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 07:11 AM PST

Word 2013's default paragraph spacing Before is 0, After is 8, and line spacing is multiple at 1.08. 

  1. If I increase Spacing Before from 0 to 8, shouldn't the spacing between paragraphs then be cumulative to 16 pt? It isn't and I'm wondering why not.
  2. Also, how does the check box "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style play into this? 
  3. Is the After setting or is the Before setting cumulative with the line spacing setting?
  4. Does the default font size of 11 pt. play into any of this?

  1. When I set double spacing, why does the At box show nothing?
  2. Should the spacing before and after settings be cumulative as well for double spacing?

Here are some examples in which the first two paragraphs have Before of 0 and After of 8 and the second two paragraphs have Before of 8 and After of 8. I see no change.

Word 2010 - Outline has gone Crazy

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 06:43 AM PST

Help.  I am working under a deadline.  The Normal Template has gone crazy, and the outline function with it.

I need to clean out the formatting in the current document.
I need to reset Normal and Styles to factory default.
I need to download or set up very traditional outlines - one with Roman numerals and the other with numbers.
Everything I do makes it worse.

Table flowing Horizotnally

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 03:06 AM PST

I have one document.
In middle of the document I have one table with two small columns. 
Is it possible to make this table with Four Columns and table to flow on the right hand side.

For example when I press tab on the last cell, it adds a new row on the next line. I want it to add new row on the right hand side first and then next row on the left hand side.

Is this possible?

BuildingBlockEntries issue

Posted: 25 Nov 2013 02:47 AM PST

Dear experts,

I am trying to get the pages of my documents numbered via macro (having a small triangle at the bottom far left-hand side of the pages).

I have simply recorded a macro and when I am inserting it in my code, when I arrive at the BuildingBlockEntries line, it give me error "the request member of the collection does not exist".

My building block template/add-in is enabled in word options, what I am doing wrong?

Here is the code:

 

ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries("Triangle 1").Add _
        Where:=Selection.Range, RichText:=True     'this is the line giving problems
    Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes("AutoShape 2").Select
    Selection.Font.Color = -587137025
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = _
        wdThemeColorBackground1
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.TintAndShade = -0.15
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Solid
    Selection.Font.Name = "Calibri"
    Selection.Font.Size = 28
    Selection.Font.Bold = True

 

Thanks you very much for your help!

Kind regards

How do I backtrack from Word 2013 to 2010?

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 06:48 PM PST

Just got a new Windows laptop and had all my Word files transferred to it.
Come to start working with it and discovered that I have Word 2013 installed.
Hate it passionately, from the New Brutality graphics to the sign-in nonsense
to the whole concept of an online word processing program. (I also hate the term
"word processing" but that's because I am a writer and a cranky old lady to boot.)
All my writing files were done with Word 2010. I don't love it as much as I did WordPerfect, of blessed memory, but it's much preferable to this new mess.
So: how would I downgrade from 2013 to 2010 without losing data or corrupting files, or giving myself a heart attack?
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Microsoft Word is crashing!

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 03:12 PM PST

Microsoft Word is crashing every time I try to open the thesaurus or use define. I have tried to use the options stated on a previous thread "Word 2013 Crashes by clicking thesaurus or define" posted November 3rd, but I had no luck with receiving a useful response. I am using Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. I am obviously not the only person with this issue...I really thought Microsoft would have had a fix for this by now. Please help with this problem. It works just fine in PowerPoint.
