Losy my 25 digit code ....

Posted: 29 Jan 2006 02:39 PM PST

That 25 characdter code to activate office is not a PID--it's a product key.
MSFT has confused people for years with the two numbers. Either and you did
not say that Office is on the box or not. On the box you can retrieve
easily. Off the box call 'em.

Best,

Chad Harris

Office is dead after system migration to new disk

Re-install didn't work.

To summarize the victory, Installer cleanup followed by heavy-handed
deletion of the Office directory tree worked. Then a simple re-install from
scratch was possible. Had to do the same thing with Streets and Trips.

I'm happy again. Thanks for the clues.

I'll check those out because the main issue is "wireless networking".

On another note, I'm having issues with my Outlook 2003 PST files after a
complete reinstall on my laptop. Is there an article you know of offhand that
deals with setting up a new Outlook 2003 install with existing PSTs? I really
think part of the trouble is, and has been, upgrading to the 2003 version. My
older PSTs were the older format.

Fax - Office 2003

Posted: 25 Jan 2006 08:46 AM PST

I was trying to use the Office 2003 CD. In the meantime, I had downloaded and
installed the 2 drivers - big mistake. When I started using the Win xp pro CD
to set up faxing, it could not copy the needed files. I then deleted the
drivers I had downloaded and the fax setup when very smoothly. In the process
of all of this, I talked with a friend of mine who was also having problems
setting up faxing. His problem was the same but the cause was different. He
determined that he was trying to use two different sp packs. I appreciate
your response. Thanks and mayve this will help others I have run across on
the internet who are also having problems setting up faxing.

Your system must have Windows XP SP2 so you can't install SP1a.

To correct your Office problems, I suggest do Detect & Repair of Office
from:

Help, Detect & Repair.

If you have MSOCache folder on your system then it would correct and
reinstall all missing files. If you don't have the MSOCache folder it
would prompt you to insert your original Office CD in the drive.

Thanks, Mickman.

I removed Norton SystemWorks and completely reinstalled to fix the problem,
although I have another problem which may or may not be related. Now,
whenver I reboot my PC, I get a pop-up message that says "Norton Protection:
Attention.......Access Denied, drive C." I hit OK, and then the computer
finishes booting and seems to be ok. Actually, I think it continues
rebooting properly, even if I leave the Access Denied screen up without
hitting OK.

Any idea what this might be?

Thanks again,

Significant issues with Office 2008 and Snow Leopard

Posted: 27 Aug 2009 08:13 PM PDT

Yup same problem here. Did CLEAN install of Leopard (e.g., erased disk) and
reinstalled Office 2008. Getting database error too, and repairing database
does not take away update error.

So, I cannot update Office 2008 from a fresh install of Snow Leopard and a
fresh install of Office 2008.

Anyboby else????

Further feedback:

The installer DOES give the customer their PID before reaching the 'drive
selection' screen.

The customer should be able to receive support from that point on.

Is it possible that you've dragged the installer application to the desktop
or something similar? This can sometimes cause permissions issues.

Microsoft Office 2008 Compatibility with Snow Leopard?

Posted: 26 Aug 2009 02:40 PM PDT

Hi Neil;

One point to add to Diane's reply:

Both the Windows & OS X operating systems have at least one incontrovertible
common aspect -- they're mass-produced, marketing-driven products.

Just like any such product, what is released based on marketing deadlines is
*rarely* right. Those who are obsessed with being the first kid on the block
to have it are the final link in the quality control food chain. Regardless
of what MS or Apple or anyone else might "announce" there will be problems,
and those problems will not be resolved until after the real world stuff
hits the fan. Advice before the product even hits the streets is like
getting reassurances from the guy trying to sell it to you and a gaggle of
other pseudo-authorities who have no first-hand knowledge or experience with
the product.

Once a couple of updates have been released by both companies the dust will
start to settle and a genuinely intelligent conclusion can be drawn. If
compatibility really is the concern "Wait and see!" is the best advice.

It isn't clear whether it's an OS X Update, or an Office Update that broke

If the Office update disabled your Office install, then you should have
received a pop-up dialog stating that Office detected an 'invalid product
key'.

If you still have your original DVD's, I'd recommend re-installing from DVD,
and then working with Microsoft Customer support to get it working.
(Installation issues shouldn't count against their two support calls).

Hi Riley:

I can change the font color of all characters in a Works 7.0
Word-Processing document with this sequence of keystrokes:

Ctrl+A, Alt+O, F, Alt+C, W, Enter.

Is this the key sequence to which you refer, or is there another?
I'm motivated to ask because I find it odd to think that people
could type that sequence unintentionally.

How Do I Get Pasted Text To Take On New Format?

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 11:30 PM PDT

The Paste Special works for me in my Works 6. I don't know what version
you are using.

One thing to be aware of when pasting, is that the font for a blank area
may be different than the nearby text. For a test, try doing the paste
special into the middle of a word and see if the new text takes on the
correct font of the word.

Subtotals in Works 8 Database

Posted: 21 Apr 2007 10:36 AM PDT

Spot on Ken, it appears that I created that database in April 2004.

Please note that the Sub-total of the item Quantity counts the item types
and is not meant to sum the quantity of Items in each group.

For that you would SUM the Quantity field and not COUNT it as I have
illustrated.

Font problem with Works 8 word processor

Good evening,


Thank you all very much for your help.

Indeed, as I need to print a lot ( I'm a student and I type each
lesson I have on my notebook ) I had managed to recover ( to save from
the bin actually ) an old Star LC100 printer ( dot matrix printer ). I
doesn't cost me a penny ( or an euro ) to print pages and pages so it
is very useful to me.

And indeed, after I had changed the printer's resolution, all the
characters have appeared clearly.

Thank you very much for this ; I wouldn't have thought the problem was
the printer !!

Works 8 Database

Posted: 09 Apr 2007 01:46 PM PDT

That's the nature of a CD. You can't update data, only add new files.
Even if you were to save using the same name (as some CD software
allows), the original file is still there, but it becomes inaccessible
except using special software. And every time you write files to CD you
can lose several MB to overhead.

A CD-R is write once.

A CD-RW is erasable. It acts like a CD-R for the most part, but you can
erase it (wiping out everything on it) and start over.

A CD is not suitable for files that you update frequently. It's best
for periodic backups or files that are updated rarely.

text box properties not document properties

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 02:09 PM PST

Office 07 on Windows 7 64 bit.  I ran into a conundrum earlier which has me stumped.  Anyone have an answer?

 

While trouble shooting a textbox wordwrap issue on a template with a user, I discovered that I cannot access the properties of a textbox withing the template on my Win7-64 machine.  Each time I turn off protection, activate the design   mode and attempt to bring up the text box properties, the document properties are displayed.  Same results whether right clicking on any text box and choosing properites or selecting the text box and selecting properties on the developer tab, under design mode.

 

Document behaves as expected in Word 07 on a Win XP system.  Anyone else ran across this?  Is there a solution?

 

One additional note, the document in question is a 07 native format, dotx file.

 

Thanks for your input.

Indexing Problem: How to remove a large number of incorrect entries at one time

Word 2010 mail merge with table - cell displays "system" character

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 12:20 PM PST

I have a series of mail merge word documents, all saved to be compatible back to Office 2003.  The letters contain various tables with cells that are formatted differently depending on the letters.  The mail merge documents use simple delimited text files as the different data sources.  When using Word 2010, any cell that has the formatting set to "Fit Text" displays some type of system character at the end of the mail merge field inside that cell and also prints out that character when merging to printer (or preview).  I can change the formatting on the cell to remove the "Fit Text" option and the character goes away but as soon as I turn that option on again the character is added.  Has anyone seen this problem or have a fix for this issue?  I can't remove the "Fit Text" option because the documents need to follow a strict format and since they are used by various users the documents must be compatible with prior versions of office.
Thanks

Requirement Spec unique numbering

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 01:02 AM PST

It is important in a requirements spec to uniquely identify each requirement.

I can use numbering whether headings or by creating custom numbering lists. The problem with both of those is that if new requirements are found later and added in an appropriate place it can throw out the numbering so that someone refferring to Reqt: PW098 in an original document would find that its number might be different in a subsequent document.

Does word have any way to manage this issue?

How to navigate down half a page?

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 11:55 PM PST

I used to have a shortcut where I would press Ctrl + Page Down to navigate half a page down.  I can't remember for the life of me how I did this. Does anyone know where I could find the command for this so I can add a keyboard shortcut to it?

Forgot Word 2010 password HELP

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 09:37 PM PST

I have an important document that I encrypted with a password a few months ago and I forgot what it was. I really need access to my word document. I've tried every password that I can imagine I would have used but nothing seems to be right. Is there any way to remove a password for a .docx file? Or any way to recover it? 

F1 help doesn't work

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 06:34 PM PST

I have Office 2013 and Windows 8.1.  F1 doesn't open the help window in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook.  I changed my default browser to IE and typed %programdata% in the run menu.  I opened the Microsoft window but there was no help file.  So I ran a quick repair and rebooted, thinking that repair would creat one.  Not surprisingly, It did not work.

As I researched this problem before asking my question, I observed that this is a common question and the solution I just mentioned is virtually the only help offered.  This fix doesn't seem to work for others as well.  Can anyone please offer a better solution?

I am posting this under Microsoft Office Word only because there is no category which includes all office products.

Page numbering in TOC

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 06:18 PM PST

I have created page numbering for the main part of my document starting from 1. The previous few pages contain roman page number (e.g. for abstract and acknowledgement page). When I created the table of content (form the TC fields), it shows the actual page number, not the page number displayed in the document. How can I create the TOC that will show the displayed page number in the document?

Where are my heading styles?

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 05:32 PM PST

Hi Folks,

 

When I start Word 2010 my styles gallery has only one heading style - Heading 1.  How do I get the other 8?

 

TIA,

Shane

Index characters vary randomly

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 03:17 PM PST

I have multi-page indexes, six to be exact, each collected over the entire document, for different subjects. That's fine but strangely the entries in the indexes are sometimes underlined, sometimes in bold, sometimes in a larger font, sometimes in italic, sometimes in small caps. The XE fields have no such variations. I don't see any pattern or reason for this and would like to control which entries have which font variations.

Word is not working after application hang

Posted: 22 Dec 2013 07:58 AM PST

Hello, so I was using Microsoft office word on my laptop just now. I walked away for a minute and then came back only to find that the program froze. Not knowing what else to do I shut down my laptop and started it again. Only now the program won't work, it says something went wrong, it couldn't start my program, it's telling me to try again (which I have) and it says if that doesn't work to try repairing office from programs and features in the control panel which I tried and nothing happened. I have an HP laptop. Help?

normal.dot file on terminal server 2003

Posted: 22 Jan 2006 09:50 PM PST

Hopefully, someone else who is more knowledgable than I about
Terminal Server will chime in here with something more definitive.

I'm not sure if this will work in a TS environment, but this is
what I would try:
1. Log in to Windows as a user.
2. Start Word.
3. Click on Tools | Options | File Locations, change the
"Templates" folder to "C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates", and
change the "Workgroup Templates" folder to the network folder
containing your other shared templates. This should allow you to
keep the shared templates in one place on the network, while
giving the user his/her own Normal.dot.
4. Close Word.
5. Start Word again.
6. Click on Tools | Templates and Addins | Organizer, and
copy the macros from the network Normal.dot to <username>
Normal.dot. If the macros assume that the Normal.dot file is in
the same folder as the shared templates, then you will need to
modify the macros to point to the Workgroup Templates folder for
the shared templates.
7. If everything works okay for the current user, then for
the other users, you just need to repeat steps 1 thru 4, and copy
the Normal.dot from the current user's profile to the other
users' profiles.

Autosave present in O2K3 Basic but not O2K3 Pro

Posted: 19 Jan 2006 04:11 PM PST

Please check out the screenshot:

http://www.geocities.com/shadowconsultant/Autosave.bmp

The MSKB is inaccurate. Perhaps for Office 2003 Std and Pro this is true,
but not for Office 2003 Basic AS my screenshot proves.

So I shall revise / re-iterate my question: How can I hack it so
Autosave.xla is available for Office 2003 Pro.

I did a search on my hard drive and could not find any files named
autosave.xla or autosave.xll.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide,

Hadrian
