After downloading MS Office 2003, no longer have Adobe Acrobat.

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 04:15 PM PST

Before you've downloaded the Adobe Reader (it's no longer called Acrobat
Reader), make sure you have an antivirus program installed. (How could you
not have one installed/current these days?)

Strange Office 2000 behavior.

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 10:19 AM PST

We where reinstalling because the 1st install was in french and for
some reason the user wanted to use a multi-lingual version of Office
and to finally go back to only french (don't ask me why those request
where accepted).

We where uninstalling using add/remove program and installing with with
the same command line we used to install on all computer (msi with a
mst).

The installation was basically a normal install of office 2000, so
per-machine.

Office2000 Installer Problem

Posted: 23 Mar 2006 06:58 AM PST

Hi,

You may be experiencing the problem where MSIEXEC starts for the wrong
product? When you start Outlook, an Installer pop-up starts in the
middle of the screen and then asks you for a disk, is that right? If you
are able to see the title bar of the Installer pop-up it will tell you
the product it's trying to "repair" and then usually the first step to
fixing it all is to get rid of this other product first.

Then uninstall the whole of Office and then re-install it. Test your
Office CD on a different machine first to ensure there's nothing wrong
with it.

User license problem

Posted: 22 Mar 2006 01:23 PM PST

It amazes me that some people will assume a problem is related to Office
first. If I couldn't get my email, I wouldn't blame Outlook. I'd call my ISP
and make sure everything was okay on their end. And if it was I'd get them
to help me verify my settings.

I guess everything is Microsoft's fault. ;-)

Office 2003 Installation Source Troubles

Posted: 22 Mar 2006 03:00 AM PST

so far no answers here... I really hope someone could give me some
advice.

What I did meanwhile:
- used the MSI Cleanup Utility to remove the Frontpage 2003 install
- tried to update Office 2003 Standard: no go
- Removed the Office 2003 Standard MSO Cache using LSItool.exe
- again tried to update Office 2003 Standard: no go.
- Reinstalled Frontpage 2003
- Checked if in the registry all keys to a valid source where still
there according http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884298/en-us
- Checked if all needed files in Windows\installer are still there and
with good permisisons - they are.

When running an update, I always get that "Update Failed"
Ohotfix.log gives me this:

Could not find dw.exe.


So it's about "error 1612 while updating". Can't find a lot about this.

Meanwhile, some news:
- when going to Office Update -> check for updates -> still doesn't work
- BUT I went to Microsoft Update, which suggested me Office SP2 and I
could even download and install it!
So I'm now on SP2 but still in the same situation as before: can't apply
any other updates (not manual, not through Office Update). Can't Repair
& Detect, can't re-run setup, can't even remove Office without that
"local Installation source error" or "update failed" error.

Which Linux Distribution(s) is/are suitable for beginners ?

http://distrowatch.com/ is a useful resource. You might want to have a

For beginners, I recommend using whatever your friends or co-workers are

Note that some distributions, such as Knoppix and Mepis, are "live
CDs" that can be run directly from the CD without having to install Linux
on your hard drive.

Do you mean... Your distribution supplies a kernel where the module in question
is not enabled, neither as module nor compiled-in? But the module in

Or, are you adding a module to the kernel? A module that you have written

If so, add a line

Word version 2010 Question

I am using Word version 2010. I have a document in which I need redlines from both the author and me to be reflected in different colors.

However, every time I open the document, the redlines are reflected in different colors and when others open the document, the redlines show up in different colors than mine. Is there a way to permanently fix the color for author redlines and my redlines so that all reviewing this document will see the same colors for the changes?

Text disappears in multilevel lists

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 06:46 AM PST

I created a multi-level list and began typing.  when I got to the right margin, the text I typed did not appear on the screen.  There was no paragraph marker at the end of the line.  When I hit Enter, the text I could not see appeared in the next numbered paragraph.  There was a paragraph marker at the end of the first line of text in the second paragraph.  But if I continued typing so that text should wrap to the next line, the text and the paragraph mark disappeared until I again hit enter, when the text appeared in the third numbered paragraph.

I have been creating multilevel lists in Word for years on this machine, running XP and Office 2010, and have never previously had this problem.  I assume some setting, a style, or something has changed.  I'll be grateful for a solution to this problem.

Sharp black shadow on shapes - gone in Word 2010?

Posted: 24 Jan 2014 03:59 AM PST

Seems like Word now offers only the very subtle, blurred-edge shadows shown in the in Format Shape gallery. Call me old-fashioned, but I need the simple sharp-edged black shadows of yore. How do I get this? In an old document that has these, running the VBA code:

 

      MsgBox Selection.ShapeRange(1).Shadow.Type

 

Gives a value of -2. But if I try to *assign* that value to a shape's shadow, it throws a value-out-of-range error.

 

Short of the clumsy idea of keeping an old shape that has the sharp black shadow and reusing it forever, how can I get that "legacy" (sigh) shadow from this version of Word (pref. using VBA)?


Thanks for any help.

The text is primarily in English; but when Sanskrit characters appear in a line, the spacing between that line and the one beneath becomes larger than the spacing between those that are all in English. I'd like the line spacing between every line to be the same throughout, despite alternating between two alphabets. 

I'm using Times New Roman for the English, and have tried several different Sanskrit fonts, to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Find and Replace Paragraph Mark and Lowercase ^13[a-z]

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 04:55 PM PST

The wildcard expression ^13[a-z] works wonderfully for finding all of the words starting with lowercase letters after a paragraph break. 

I need to then replace ONLY the paragraph break with a simple space.

If I do a find and replace using ^13[a-z], it then replaces the letter at the beginning of the lowercase word with the space, thus misspelling the word.

Example before Find & Replace:
Spaulding, one of the Naval Committee, allowed himself to be used in the

intrigue, and, to his discredit, called for the documents

After Find & Replace (note "intrigue" is misspelled:
Spaulding, one of the Naval Committee, allowed himself to be used in the ntrigue, and, to his discredit, called for the documents 

Any suggestions on how to avoid this error would be greatly appreciated.

Create custom tabs on the Word 2013 ribbon

Posted: 23 Jan 2014 03:53 PM PST

Office 2007 saw the addition of the Ribbon feature, which some users found confusing. However, you can use it to your advantage by adding your own custom tabs containing commands you use often. This allows for quicker and easier document creation.

We're using Word in our example, but you can create custom tabs in the other Office apps as well.

To create a custom tab, right-click on the Ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon.

The Customize Ribbon screen on the Word Options dialog box displays. The tabs available on the Ribbon are listed on the right side of the dialog box. Click New Tab at the bottom of that list.

A New Tab is added after the tab that was selected (which is the Home tab by default). To give the new tab a different name, right-click on the New Tab (Custom) and select Rename from the popup menu.

On the Rename dialog box, enter a name for the tab in the Display name edit box and click OK.

Every tab must have at least one group of commands on it. When you create a New Tab, a New Group is automatically added.

On the Rename dialog box, enter a name for the new group in the Display name edit box. You can also select an icon from the Symbol box to represent the new group when the Ribbon is resized. Click OK.

NOTE: You can add multiple groups on your tab if you want to categorize the commands you add to your tab.

Because the Home tab was selected when we created a new tab, the new tab was added right after the Home tab. You can move the tab to a different position on the Ribbon by selecting the tab to be moved and clicking either the up arrow button or down arrow button.

To add a command to the group on your tab, select a command from the list of commands on the left. You can filter the list by selecting an option from the Choose commands from drop-down list.

To add a command to the group on your tab, drag the command to right below the group name (or other command name) until you see a horizontal bar. You can also add commands by selecting the group, then selecting the command and clicking Add.

NOTE: You can use the up and down arrow buttons to rearrange the commands within the groups on your tab as well.

When you have added all the groups and commands you want, click OK to accept your changes and close the Word Options dialog box.

The new tab displays on the Ribbon, providing convenient access to the commands you use most often.

You can also backup your custom tabs so you can re-import them if you have to reinstall the Word (or other Office programs) or if you want to move the same customizations to a different computer; for example, if you have to replace your computer.

To backup your customizations, right-click on the Ribbon again and select Customize the Ribbon. At the bottom of the Customize Ribbon screen on the Word Options dialog box on the right click Import/Export and select Export all customizations.

On the File Save dialog box, navigate to the location where you want to save your customizations backup, enter a name for the file in the File name edit box, and click Save. You can copy this file to an external drive for safekeeping.

If you want to remove any custom tabs you've added or any changes you've made to the built-in tabs, you can reset all your customizations by clicking Reset and selecting Reset all customizations. If you only want to reset changes on one built-in tab (not on custom tabs), select the tab to be reset, click Reset and select Reset only selected Ribbon tab.

If you've selected to reset all customizations, a confirmation dialog box displays to make sure you want to do this. Click Yes to remove all changes to built-in tabs and all custom tabs you've created.

NOTE: No confirmation dialog box displays when you select Reset only selected Ribbon tab.

You can also remove a custom tab by selecting the tab and clicking Remove. This will not affect any changes you've made to built-in tabs.

NOTE: No confirmation dialog box displays when removing a custom tab, so be sure you want to remove it before you do so.

The ability to customize the Ribbon bar by creating your own custom tabs is a useful feature for making it quicker and easier to work on your documents. The commands you use most often can be grouped together, providing quick access.

office 2003 wont load because of prior install

Posted: 22 Mar 2006 11:37 AM PST

I cannot do that, as I explained. When I reloaded XP all links to a loaded
version went away. The folders, files and registry links are gone! I need
to know where to look for whatever it is that makes OFfice think it is still
loaded. Thanks, though.

Software Activation Problem?

Posted: 21 Mar 2006 06:50 AM PST

Unfortunately, not a thing. I choose the menu item, and no dialog appears. My
copy of OneNote is a personal copy, and required activation. My installation
of Office 2003 standard was provided by my company and didn't require
activation via the activation wizard. (Site licence).

I'm wondering if maybe my machine is changing itself to the point that
Office thinks I'm movnig it to another machine. I have a Sony Vaio VGN T170p.
It reeks havoc on my company's software that uses an activation scheme as
well.

You need to use the telephone option when you activate Office and explain

Microsoft Office 2000 Premium problems

Posted: 20 Mar 2006 05:42 PM PST

The event log which I think you're talking about reads as follows:

3/20/2006 2:55 PM MsiInstaller Detection of product
'{00000409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7}', feature 'ProductNonBootFiles'
failed during request for component '{2DB5EDF1-BF88-11D1-9A4A-00A0C90542D8}'


Also, one of the error messages that comes up when I experience this problem
says:
'The path MS Office 2000 Premium cannot be found. Verify that you have
access to the location or try to find the installation package 'data1.msi' in
a folder from which you can install the program...'

When I saw this message yesterday, I searched my computer for this file and
it did not find anything.

Also, when I try to open Outlook specifically, another message comes up
saying that it is missing the file OMINT.DLL. I also searched for this file
on my computer, without any success.

Am I out of luck? Do I need to buy new software? Can the files I need be
downloaded from Microsoft.com?

Thank you everyone who's responded for your attention to this. It's greatly
appreciated!

Updating an Admin install point of Office 2003 w/SP1 to SP2

Posted: 20 Mar 2006 01:46 PM PST

Stan,

If the path is correct then there is no wonder why it shows the help screen.
Because you have spaces in between the names, so installer engine will not
understand. We need to specify in quotes.
eg: )
msiexec /a "c:\admin path\PRO11.MSI" /p "k:\admin install point
path\MAINSP2op.msp" /qb

This will work !!!

Cheers,
Ajith

Is it more stable? Well it certainly should be; if you look at the inner
workings of Office 2003 and it's dependency tree and then look at
OpenOffice you can see the OpenOffice guys are planning and implementing
for the future, not just the next dumb press release (like we get with
Office 2007).

It won't appeal to everyone (nor should it), but the way I see it is
that Open Source and Open Standards are the future and right now,
Microsoft doesn't have anything to offer in that arena.

Office 2003 Updates keep failing

Posted: 18 Mar 2006 01:26 PM PST

This seems to work. The only problem is that it corrupted my FrontPage2003
installation.
Keeps asking for my Key. When I enter it, thinks that it is invalid.

I will have to uninstall FrontPage 2003 then reinstall and see if that
works. At first I thought FP2003 was part of Office2003. I forgot that I
have a separate CD for FP2003.

Will update this post later today to let you know.

Hi,

If you mean their _old_ Office shortcuts, start menu, quick-launch get
trashed, that's supposed to happen. If you mean non-Office shortcuts get
trashed, that's a major problem and there must be something wrong.
