Office 2007 Upgrade

Posted: 16 Mar 2007 09:14 AM PDT

JoAnn's information was correct. If an upgrade edition of MS Office does not find a qualifying product install it will ask you to
provide the original product CD of a qualifying product.

Problem with Activation

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 12:31 PM PDT

I did, they had never heard of this problem either. I called Microsoft, they
said since it's OEM, I would have to pay $49.00 to talk to someone. That's
why I am here.

Installation Problem Office 2000

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 09:21 AM PDT

Hi Matthew,

The .MSI file is only available on the original product CD, it's not available from Microsoft as a download and MS no longer has
Office 2000 CD versions available. Office 2000 was released then
re-released twice

Office 2000 (original)
Office 2000 with SR1 Service Release
Office 2000 with SR2 Service Release

The updates were also provided in .MSP patch versions both in download and CD patch disks. Once the Service Release (SR1a) was
installed then the way the Installer saw things you it would report that you had Office 2000 SR1, but 'knew' that your CD would be
the original one. That SR1 is appearing in the 'Use CD from' dialog box tends to indicate that the SR1 update was applied at some
point.

Be sure that the CD you have is for the same Edition (Premium) that is listed in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel
and that it's CD#1 (Premium is a 4 CD set).

One of the most common places where you'd run into the CD not being accepted is that the original installation is damaged (which,
unfortunately, requires the CD to repair). If you cannot complete a Repair/Reinstall of Office 2000 from the Microsoft Office 2000
listing in Add/Remove Programs then you may need to use the MS Installer cleanup utility, then restart the PC then reinstall and
repatch, but that can vary based on the exact error message you receive when trying to do the repair. Let us know what that is
please.

Peter,

This really doesn't answer my question. It is a link that I already have
and I mentioned that I downloaded the Sr-1a full version that this link
points to. It extracts a data1.MSP, not the .MSI that the program is looking
for. Do you know where I can download the package with the SR-1a MSI? >>

Running Office XP and Office 2007

Posted: 15 Mar 2007 02:39 AM PDT

Hi Warren,

The installer starting is 'normal' behavior when you run multiple Office versions (a practice MS recognizes but doesn't recommend
<g>)
With multiple versions of Word installed the MS Installer changes the settings to match the correct (last used) version when you
start it. (More information on having multiple versions of Office installed appears here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091 )

There are a couple of workarounds.

1. Create and use (where the PC has enough 'oomph' to support it, Virtual PC installations to separate the versions
http://microsoft.com/virtualpc

2. Edit the registry to have the installer ignore the 'switch' between versions. While this will stop the installer on a regular
(as you use the apps) basis it's not clear at present what other areas this may affect when switching between Word versions,
including running a repair (Office 2000 thru 2003)/diagnostic (Office 2007) or when updates are applied. Here are the steps on
Windows XP, they may vary slightly in Windows Vista. As a suggestion, you may want to lock things into the version of Word that
matches the version of Outlook you'll be using.

a. Optionally, run either Repair from the Word 2000-2003 help menu
and/or an Office diagnostic from Office 2007 to double check that the 'innards' are in good order.

b. Run the version of Word that you want to have associated with your .doc, .dot, .docx, etc files, then close Word.

c. Double click, in Windows Explorer in My Documents or another folder a .doc file to be sure it opens in the correct version you
prefer to use then close all running Office apps.

d. Use Start=>Run and type Regedit.

e. Navigate down in HKEY_CURRENT_USER to
\Software\Microsoft\Office

f. For Word 2007 (v12.0) continue to navigate through

\12.0\Word\Options

and once there right click on the 'Options' branch in the left panel and create a new 'DWORD' named NoReReg , then set the value
of NoReReg to 1.

g. For Word 2003 (v11.0), follow the same steps as in 2f, but use the area for Word 2003, which would be

\11.0\Word\Options

h. For Word 2002 (v10.0), follow the same steps as in 2f, but use the area for Word 2002 (Office XP), which would be

\10.0\Word\Options

Note that this doees work for Word 2003 and Word 2007 but I don't recall if the 'NoReReg' key is recognized in the Office XP/2002 or
Office 2000 editions.

Please let us know how this goes for you

==================
<<"Warren" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com...
By default, Office XP and 2007 place their content within subfolders, which
is in the official Microsoft documentation:

Office XP: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\
Office 2007: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\

Both suites do run on the same PC, but as I mentioned if you switch from one
to the other (such as Word, which is the biggest culprit) you get either the
Windows Installer configuring office XP, or Office 2007 setup re-setting up
Office despite it being already installed.

I'll try installing one away from the default folder, but to be honest I
think that's already been tried with *exactly* the same result. <<

Right click a doc running office 2007 send to doesnt work

Posted: 14 Mar 2007 03:22 PM PDT

Are you in the Word, File Open dialog or in Windows explorer? both, as
mentioned i get the mapi error
"This error can occur if you attempt to send a Word document as an e-
mail attachment in Word and the MAPI session was closed and Word is
no
longer able to connect to that MAPI session. It can also occur if
there is a problem with the fax configuration.
To correct a MAPI related error: restart the MAPI e-mail program (for
example,Outlook) or save and close the document, and then restart
Word
after restarting your MAPI e-mail application. Word will establish a
new MAPI session, allowing the document to be sent.
To correct a problem with the fax configuration, review the
configuration settings for your fax software and make the appropriate
changes."

use? XP SP2

Office 2007 Ribbon

Posted: 14 Mar 2007 02:27 AM PDT

To be honest, it would have been a lot better had Microsoft given users the
choice of interfaces.

I object particularly to the fact that plenty of staff will look at the
Ribbon, think "I'm not using that!" and never bother with Office. There's
probably a massive retraining budget needed so that users are comfortable
with the look and feel.

That look and feel hasn't changed that much since Word 6, and many of our
admin staff have been using Word since then. I'd hate to deploy Office 2007
right now and give them no option.

It only makes me even more determined to move to OpenOffice instead...

Office 2007 Installation Issues

Posted: 13 Mar 2007 06:49 AM PDT

I actually got it to install last night (total of 18 hrs of Vista issues,
then another 12 hours downtime in office 2007 issues). Still waiting on MS to
contact me, I have
offered to submit my solution for a white paper - we will see. It involved a
lot of registry manipulation.. Not a typical install for someone who may be
in my same position that has min. computer experience. I think normally it
would have worked well, I beleive it has soemthing to do with downloading the
trial version. That is where the problem lies.

Everything works well with the exception of Accounting Express - can't get
to accept my prodcut code - still thinks it is in trial mode. MS is working
on getting me a full product key code, so hopefully that will work.

Thanks for replying

BTW - Beware installing Vista and Office 2007 with Vista - not a walk in the
park! Nor is it worth the trouble..not that great of an OS.

OCT

Posted: 13 Mar 2007 01:04 AM PDT

If you have an Enterprise version of Office 2007 (and the volume license key) and create a network Installation point (a CD image if
from an Office CD, or from an extract of Office 2007 from a download image) then running Setup.exe /Admin
will start the Office 2007 Customization Tool (OCT).
It is not available for OEM or retail products.

For additional information on using the Office Customization Tool the Office 2007 Resource Kit may be of help:
http://microsoft.com/office/ork

The OCT does not support GPO deployments, as it creates .MSP (installer patch files) for customization and the MS Installer doesn't
support .MSP files with that method.

others. That, would speed up my small deployments (spc. SBS+5-25). But do

Do NOT under any circumstances import your .pst file into Outlook unless you want to lose data.

OPEN the .pst file in Outlook using Outlook's File->Open->Outlook data file. This should not be a problem however, as you are performing an upgrade and Outlook should find your .pst file just fine.

Sorry Word online ran into a problem...

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 12:38 PM PDT

I created a document library to store reports in word format, an even created a Template for how I wanted the report to look (all found on various forums online).  To populate this library I linked it to an existing list containing data.  I then created a workflow that triggered when either a new client was created or the data of one of the clients was modified.  This all worked out very well.  The data was showing in the document library as planned, though with a bit of formatting concerns, but the problem came when I tried to open the document in Word.

Each time I attempted to open a document, I received an error stating:

Sorry Word Online ran into a problem opening this document. Would you like to open it in Word.

However when I attempt to open it in word, the document is blank.

Here's a link to an image showing what I mean.  http://imgur.com/TCEZ4oY

I hover my mouse cursor over the red text, and the information box showing SHC's editing information appears.  This is normal, desired behaviour.

On a colleague's Word 2013, he performs the same action and the box does not pop up or flashes briefly then disappears.  Is there a setting somewhere to make this box appear and stay put?  Is this a bug?  A video driver issue?  I have tested it on various other Word 2013 installations in the office, without a problem.

Macro for Conditional Text

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 09:39 AM PDT

A co-worker has asked me about creating an interactive document where they could show/hide portions of a contract based on which services the client elects to purchase.  

So I found this awesome set of macros (http://www.abelard.com.au/words-3-2.pdf), but they're slightly out-dated.  They don't completely work, and I'm not sure if it's the tagging or the processing of the tags that's not working properly.  It might be that I'm copying/pasting it wrong?  I'm pasting it at the end of the post for you to take a look at.  I can see the tags when I complete that part of the process, but then when I go to process the tags, no matter what I put in the text box it just automatically hides everything on the page.  

But my main question here is twofold.  Is this the best way to go about using conditional text in word?  For tech writers out there, I'd like to mimic the type of functionality that exists in FrameMaker for conditional formatting.  If so, I'm also wondering how to display, like it shows in the article, a Display Content window from which the user can select the tags to display.  So for example, if you take a series of paragraphs with JQ, JA, SQ, and SA tags, you could select to display any combination of these tags.  

Sub AddTagToParagraphs()
 Dim newTag As String, oldTag As String
 Dim myPara As Paragraph
 oldTag = TagPara(Selection.Paragraphs(1), "")
 newTag = UCase(InputBox("Type tag for selected paragraph(s).", "Single Source ", oldTag))
 For Each myPara In Selection.Paragraphs
 oldTag = TagPara(myPara, newTag)
 Next myPara
 Set myPara = Nothing
End Sub

Sub ProcessTags()
 Dim TagsToShow As String
 Dim myPara As Paragraph
 Dim myTag As String
 Dim i As Integer
 Dim hidePara As Boolean
 TagsToShow = UCase(InputBox("Type tags to make visible. Leave blank to show all", "Single Source"))
 ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True
 ActiveDocument.Range.Font.Hidden = False
    For Each myPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
    myTag = TagPara(myPara, "")
        If myTag <> "" Then hidePara = False
    For i = 1 To Len(TagsToShow)

Cursor disappears when in text area or a data entry box...

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 09:25 AM PDT

Cursor disappears when I hover over ANY place I could enter something.  It happened just now when I placed it in THIS box to enter this question.

In Word it is most annoying as the whole page has the problem.

I recently had to restore my computer back to "just out of the box" new.

Ultimately, I had Office 2013 installed.

I've looked at other threads here & the questions don't exactly match, and the answers don't seem to apply.

EXCEPT for the suggestion to reload my mouse drivers.

The problem is that I can't find where to "reload" or "reinstall" my mouse drivers.

Control panel says on hardware tab that I have THREE, btw.  My computer is HP all-in-one with touch screen, so that's probably the first one listed.  Then I have a wireless mouse.  Control panel's third one says it's connected via USB port... don't know what that's about unless it's a "just in case" I have to resort to a wired in mouse?

When I clicked on pointer tab, got two files missing errors:  hcross.cur and hibeam.cur -- which supports the need to reload drivers.

I did, however, try unchecking "hide pointer while typing" but that didn't fix this particular problem.

Anyway, if you can help me either reload the mouse drivers or otherwise find my cursor, I would greatly appreciate it!

Slide Show

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 07:27 AM PDT

08/07/14- I have several beach pictures in my Picture Folder and I want to have them in a slide show on the desktop. When I open the Picture Folder and use the slide show option the pictures show in a slide show. However when I click on the 'exit' button and go back to the desktop the slide show has stopped. Under  "Personalize" then "Desktop" I don't see an option to create a slide show for the desktop. How can this be done?

Page Numbering In Word

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 07:23 AM PDT

Okay, so I am trying to add page numbers to a 300+ page long document for use with the table of contents. This is a manual that sourced different documents that were inserted into a single document (all with random section breaks-pain in the butt). When I try to insert a page number, it increases the size of the footers and it throws off the formatting to where there will be be single lines of text on a single page. Also, the header/footer margins seem to be different for each of the sourced documents so the page numbers appear in different parts of the footer. Is there an alternative way to number the pages such that it doesn't touch any of the formatting like insertion of a text box in the lower right corner of each page? Or are there other options?

Word 2010 Save and Send fails saying Outlook cannot contact the server

Auto Versioning

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 05:03 AM PDT

Hi,

a question about versioning. It there an easy way in all office products, but largely word, ppoint and project to autoversion documents.

IE avoid going save as and then changing the number, instead clicking a link that will automatically save as the next version. e.g mydoc.01 -> mydoc.02 etc.

I know there are third party version control plugins and and the autorecover versioning, but the former is too complex, and the latter cannot be relied on for teams.

maybe I am looking to closely and there is a better practise solution out there ?  

Office iPad unable to delete documents from "Recent" folder

Posted: 07 Aug 2014 04:40 AM PDT

I have MS Word and Excel for iPad.  I am unable to delete item icons from my "Recent Docs" folder.  The items are removed, but the icon still exists.

i attempted to resolve it by closing the app (a hard close) and going into settings and going under the "Reset Word/Excel" and Clear all Documents/Workbooks.  I then reset the app and the document icons are still there.

Am I missing a step?  Any help please.  Thank you.

Hierarchy structure in MS Project

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 05:12 AM PDT

schemr --

In the Enterprise Global file, create a new custom enterprise Project
outline code called Sales Manager. Make this a required field and list all
of our sales managers in the outline code structure. Save and close the
Enterprise Global and then exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional.
Ask each PM to open all of his/her projects and click Project - Project
Information, select the Sales Manager for each project, and then save and
publish each project using Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan. Add the
new Sales Manager field to each Project Center view in PWA. You might also
want to create a custom Project Center view called Sales Manager that has
grouping applied by default on this outline code. You might also want to
create a custom Portfolio Analyzer view that summarizes project data by the
Sales Manager outline code.

After you and the PM's complete the above series of steps, anyone who can
view the Project Center page will be able to apply grouping or sorting on
the Sales Manager outline code. Hope this helps.

multiple baseline compare

Posted: 18 Aug 2005 01:33 AM PDT

Hi,

1. To compare two dates (for instance two baselinestartx)
Tools, Customize, Fields, select a number field
Activate Formula
[Baselinestartx]-[Baselinestarty] returns a value in days
projdatediff( [],[], Calendar name) returns a value in minutes
When you select a duration field projdatediff will be expressed in the
normal duration units

2. To show nonstandard bars in the Gantt Chart (such as haveing a hape to
indicate Baselinestart7 or a bar between baselinestart5 and Start)
see

Printing reports with a date range

Posted: 17 Aug 2005 11:24 AM PDT

LadyBean01,
You are correct that Date Range filters out the tasks.
To get the timephased info you are looking for, try temporarily
changing your project start date to June 1. >Project, >Project
Information

Hope this helps!

You could set the status date to equal the date the work will resume for
this project and then hit the 'Reschedule' button on the Tracking Toolbar.
This will move the unfinished portions of all tasks so that they start
after the new status date.

how do i display week numbers in project?

Rompie,
I have probably heard of ISO week numbers but have never used them. I
also do not use Outlook. Because one MS application (or even several of
them) can do a particular thing doesn't mean all MS applications can do
it. A good example is that in Excel individual Worksheet cells can be
formatted. We get many posts in the Project newsgroup asking how that
can be done in Project, particularly in either of the Usage views.
Unfortunately individual field cell formatting is not an option in
Project.

The only formatting available for the timescale in Project is that
available in the selection lists for Units and labels found in the
Timescale edit window. That window can be accessed by either double
clicking on the timescale or by going to Format/Timescale.

Hope this helps.

Views with Gantt Chart Wizard.

Posted: 16 Aug 2005 09:23 AM PDT


Hi Dave,

You could create a new private project. Create your views there and then
transfer them via the Organizer to the working projects. Then, if one gets
changed significantly, you can recover it from your private project.
