How can I install Office 2003 AFTER Office 2007?

Posted: 01 Aug 2007 07:46 PM PDT

Uninstall 2007 then install only the 2003 components required by using
Custom Install
Update 2003 and rename any shortcuts to be 2003 specific, eg Word2003, then
install 2007 when it asks if you want to upgrade the 2003 components select
'no' 2007 will then be installed.
NB double clicking on a word.doc in explorer will open it in 2007, so you
would have to start Word 2003, then File>Open

Install Office 2007 On Terminal Server

Posted: 30 Jul 2007 12:22 PM PDT

Hi Katrina,

You may want to check with the MS Partner folks http://microsoft.com/partners on the Action Pack support.

To install Office 2007 on Terminal Server/Services requires a Volume License Office 2007 product and license key and the original
Partner Action Pack products were retail level license keys.

Hello,

We are having trouble installing Office 2007 on our Terminal Server. We are
using the version that arrived with the MS Action Pack.

About three months ago we called MS and they told us updates were being made
to the Action Pack so that it would work with Terminal Services; they were
supposed to be included in the next Quarterly Update.

Is there a hotfix or update we can download to get Office 2007 working on
our TS?

Thanks for any help!

"Choose assistant" doesn't work in Windows Vista 64

Posted: 28 Jul 2007 12:31 PM PDT

You need to remember that people who help in these newsgroups are
volunteers. We have lives outside of the Internet (contrary to what some may
think). We have families who are MUCH more important than being able to use
an assistant in Office. I'll bet you do too. Post your question once and
then go talk to your spouse/partner/child/friend/dog/cat/goldfish -
whatever. Check back later. And *if* in a day, no one responds, it could be
that either you didn't give us enough to go on or that no one has an answer
for the issue. At that point you need to figure out if it's worth paying
Microsoft for their help.

How to repair swap partition?

Posted: 13 Apr 2007 02:12 PM PDT

On Apr 13, 5:12 pm, "Don Phillipson" <ca>

OK, so you've partitioned out a swap partition. That's good
 
[snip] 

Yah. Swap partitions don't have a filesystem (as such) on them.
There's nothing for fsck (of any flavour) to check.
 


Well, first off
mkswap /dev/hdb1
then
swapon /dev/hdb1

You'll want to read the manual pages on mkswap(8) ("man 8 mkswap") and
swapon(8) ("man 8 swapon"). To summarize, mkswap(8) formats the paging
partition ("swap") for use, and swapon(8) tells the system to start
using the partition for paging.

You'll also want to ensure that your /etc/fstab contains a line like
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
so that the next time you boot up, you won't need to enter the
swapon(8) command.

Also, are you sure that your swap partition is 750 SECTORS? That's

I'm looking at RHEL 4.4 SRPM's right now. There is *NO* published

I suggest you give up now, and proceed to RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 when it
comes out in a few weeks. This "update one package and everything will
be great approach" breaks badly due to massive, massive dependencies
on such core packages. No one at RedHat will want to help you with

of nasty breakages.

If you *have* to do this, I suggest you also grab the compat-

carefully work your way through the dependencies downloading other
packages as needed.

Mail Merge Issue Sharing Excel As Data Source Office 2013

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 12:08 PM PDT

We have Excel files that are generated via the following commands on a schedule:

The command that creates the .xls files is:

        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, dbfFiles(counter), _

                        baseFilepath & dbfFiles(counter) & fileExtension, True

The command that creates the .xlsx files is:

        DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, , dbfFiles(counter), _

                        baseFilepath & dbfFiles(counter) & fileExtension, True

 

Counter is an array that contains the names of the files, fileExtension is set to .xls or .xlsx.

These .xlsx files are placed on a shared drive.

Users have trouble with mail merges in Word 2013 when linked to .xlsx and .docx files. If any user is in the file, or using a mail merge, no one else can access the Excel file for merging.  If one user is already in the .xlsx file and a second tries to come in and use the file simultaneously, an error is displayed.

Error has occurred: Exernal table is not in the expected format.

Items already verified:

1. The datasource .xlsx file is accessilble by two people as a shared document.

2. Have tried opening the excel document prior to merging.  Same error.

3. Permissions on the share drive are the good.  Same permissions worked with Office 2010.

My Microsoft programs disappeared.

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 12:07 PM PDT

Yesterday everything was working fine. However when I loaded my computer today I couldn't get any of my microsoft programs to work. That includes word excel and power point. Every time I clicked on a document nothing would happen not even the loading circle next to the mouse. I went into programs and tried to repair, I tried to run it through a safe program to see if it was a virus but it wouldn't work.

The curious part it that it gives me the regular options with a program that is installed such as run, fix, or uninstall. But when I go to the program folders and open them up there is nothing there, yet my computer acts like I can do something with those programs.

I'm confused because I haven't gotten any notifications concerning a virus or malfunctioning software. Everything is up to date and I've had the software for a were months ( office 2013 student). I have not recently downloaded anything concerning microsoft in the past month or so.

I also searched for hidden programs in case it had been put somewhere else but that didn't work. All my files and data are still on there and I can out them on a thumb drive and open them on another computer it's just the Microsoft program that is not working. I can open pdfs and other programs but nothing to do with Microsoft.

Why does last item in numbered list get pushed to the right?

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:39 AM PDT

I have a minor annoyance here. When I try to get every item in a numbered list onto one page, often I see what can be seen here: http://paulrittman.com/sg.docx

The last item is pushed to the right. The only factors I can think that might affect this would be that I have modified the margins and pushed the numbered list a bit to the left (by selecting the numbers and moving them with my cursor), farther than they originally were.

Anything I can do to get that last item aligned with the rest?

Unable to access the Word.Application.Documents collection if the Word.Application ActiveX is created by JavaScript ou VBScript in Internet Explorer 8

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:10 AM PDT

Hello,
I want to access to the Documents collection of the Word.Application. To do this, I have this simple code which is working if executed in a .vbs file :

On Error Resume Next
Dim wdApp
Set wdApp = getObject(,"Word.Application")
if err.number <> 0 then
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End if
MsgBox "# of open docs: " + wdApp.Documents.Count

In my case, if I have 3 documents that I previously opened. The msgbox then says 3 even if there is 3 different instances (ie 3 tiles in the Windows task bar)
If I insert this script in a VBScript tag 

<script type="text/VBscript" src="ressources\Script\TableDesMatieres.js">
...
</script> 

and there are 3 existing instances (as previous) the Word.Application instance DOESN'T "get" the existing instance and create a new one. More over, If I start a macro in which I ask to give me the number of documents, I receive "0", just like the recently created object was isolated form the other instances so it looks only in its sandbox.

Is there something I'm missing in the IE parameters or the way I code is in error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!

Note: I also posted this message in the IE8 Community as the problem is for both products.

Microsoft Word 2003 as a 'System File'

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 11:07 AM PDT

Hello,

I use Microsoft Word 2003 

Recently I went to move a Word document file from one folder to another and received a pop-up stating, "Are you sure you want to move this system file? If you move this file, Windows or another program may no longer work correctly"

I do not remember seeing this before whenever I did a cut and past to move a file.  

At this point I closed all opened Word documents opened a blank Word doc and performed a 'detect and repair'. It continues to open the same pop-up message. Nothing changed.

Should Word be a system file? What could be the issue? 

Thanks

PS: I just went to open an existing word file and it opened a pop-up asking if I wanted to allow a

winword.exe - I said no for now.

Update for Microsoft Office Starter 2010 popup occurring after booting compter

Please remain connected to the internet for the duration of the update.

Do you wish to start downloading the update now?"  You can click "OK" or "Cancel."

I want to know if this is a legitimate update to Microsoft Office Starter 2010 or a potential virus.  I have never received an update in the form

of a popup b/4 and am scared to click "OK."

Microsoft has not been helpful regarding this at all.  If anybody knows or has downloaded this, please let me know.

Labels - how can I create labels for offices as opposed to people?

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 08:08 AM PDT

I'm new to using the label feature in MS Word and have been able to make label sheets for each user in my list.

My question is, how can I make labels specifically for the unique offices in the list, and not display the person's name?


The spreadsheet I'm using for the mail merge contains over a thousand peoples names, covering roughly 100 offices.

The fields include: First name, last name, office name, address 1, city, state, zip


For example, I want a unique list of offices such as this:

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

New York, NY 10605


I don't want to display the persons name, or have duplicate offices in the list, like this:

Geoff Garcia

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

White Plains, NY 10605


Mickey Mouse

March of Dimes Headquarters

1275 Mamaroneck Ave.

White Plains, NY 10605


Word 2013 not saving default font preferences

Problems with keyboards in MS Word 2013

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 05:07 AM PDT

I suspect I just don't have the terminology right for a search. I'm stumped.

I edit Word documents created in many different versions of Word and with many different default languages. The specific problem (which I hope has an answer that can be generalized to any such issue) is that in a document using a Hungarian language pack, the characters all seem to be on the same keys as in English but the open quote mark appears at the bottom of the line rather than at the top. Strangely enough, the document I receive is correct, but any edits I try to make are with the quote mark on the baseline. I assume the writer is using the English language pack and Word is doing things correctly when the document is created. I don't think Word would replace the characters in the original document.

I've checked out Win 8's keyboard functions; I'm using the US English keyboard. Neither can I find anything in Word's limitless options that makes a difference.

A few other documents do have the characters I need in the "wrong" place for an American typist, so if the cure for the first problem solves the more general problem, that's great.

Thanks for any tips.

Word page width changed from template

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 03:11 AM PDT

I started a document in a client's template, and then had to copy it over to a new, different template. The problem is that half way through the document, the page size changed, and every other page shifted to half outside of the 'page' area (i.e. off the white page border). I have tried manually adjusting the text markers on the page ruler, but this then shifts the text on the adjacent page and I cannot get all the text to align correctly as normal? The 'off' pages have become very narrow also.

I would like to set the alignment to be consistent across all pages, but do have some pages as portrait and some as landscape. 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! 

table margin resetting when certain items pasted into cell

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 02:12 AM PDT

Hi

I have a table set up with no auto fit and cell margin left of 0.5cm.  All cells are set to be the same as the table properties.

When an excel chart is pasted into a cell it seems to wipe the cell padding for the whole table.  The same occurs when an excel table is pasted as a bitmap but not other formats.

What is going on and how do I stop this behaviour - the document is a standard template for use by many and I don't want the page to look different?  This has been driving me crazy so any help would be appreciated.

Multi Level Lists in Word 2010 and 2013. My sanity is hanging by a thread here.

OK, this is something I have been struggling with for a couple of weeks and I'm at the stage where I don't know how to proceed.  0_0    I feel like I am losing my mind.   I don't know if I'm missing something (BIG) or I am just slow, but I just can't get multi level list numbering to work for me, the way in which I want it to.  I've read loads of articles and watched YouTube videos and a few days ago I felt like I  had finally "got it"... it was short lived.  

 I work in a law firm and it is imperative that I slay this beast!   I am working predominantly with MS word 2010, although occasionally will have to use 2013/365.  My work basically consists of amending, formatting and typing documentation and agreements.  These can be anywhere from a few pages to hundreds or thousands of pages with many headings, subheadings, clauses and subclauses etc.  My issue is with formatting these respective headings, clauses, subclauses etc for example: 

1 HEADING 

1.1 content content content 

      1.1.1 content content content 

               1.1.1.1 content content content 

      1.1.2 content content content

2 HEADING 

2.1 content content content      

      2.1.1 content content content 

2.2 content content content

You get the idea.  My questions mainly involve how to do this so that the respective numerical values under each heading don't continue from previous section or heading.  Is there a way to link the numerical values to the heading number?  Is there any way to automate this process so that I don't have to be continuously pressing the indent buttons all the time, a way to make the styles/lists just ready to go so I can just type away and not have to be fiddling with formatting all the time?   I feel like my questions are so innumerate, I'm almost unsure if I'm asking the right questions. 

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.  You would be saving someone from abject insanity.  

Many thanks, 

Chuck.

Office files on One Drive available only in "Read Only" mode by Office 2013 desktop apps?

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 06:40 PM PDT

When did this change:  "You can also open these online documents in the Office programs you have installed on your computer, and work on them while they're stored in your OneDrive."  Suddenly this evening I found the Office 2103 files I had stored on my One Drive,  and which I had been using regularly from my Office 2103 desktop apps, could only be opened in "Read-Only" mode.  Are my Office files on One Drive only useful now with Office web apps?

DOCM file not saving on Microsoft Word 2010

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 05:46 PM PDT

Hi,

I am working on a DOCM file on Microsoft Word and the document won't save at all. When I click on the "save as" option or "save" nothing pops up, and there are no changes to the document. When I try to exit out of the document, I get a prompt that asks if I want to save the document, and when I click "yes" nothing happens and I can't exit the document without clicking "no." I've tried to save the file on two different computers--Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows 8.1--Microsoft Office 2010 and 2007. Nothing works. I've even upgraded the 2007 to 2010 to see if it was compatibility issue.

Does anyone know how to save the documents as a DOCM? I have to enable the macros and retain them. Please let me know. Thank you so much!!!

Propted:  How do you want to open this file? Selected - notepad. Now every time I try to use the file to gather the groups accumulated info, it instantly opens and its a bunch of jibberish. I used it once with the person that gave it to me and it actually accumulated and categorized the info. It's unuseable to me now, and I don't know how to fix it! I don't know where to start?

How to insert an automatically updating picture that re-sizes and re-orients itself

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 01:20 PM PDT

Hello. I am hoping to find a macro which will allow me to insert an object (which will be a picture) that will automatically update itself, re-size itself and center itself upon opening. This will be used for large word documents that have references to data sheet images which change. When these data sheets change i would save them as the same name and file type as the original and then move the original file to an obsolete folder, eventually repeating this process once the data sheets change again. I currently have some bits of code which I am not sure how to integrate but this code to follow adds a image as an inline shape, upon running the file explorer opens so the user can select what image to place into the word document. After selecting the desired image it is re-sized and re-oriented. I am looking for a macro that will open the 'object' command in the insert tab, open the browse prompt for 'create from file' and then make it so the 'link to file' box is checked. At which point I would like the image re-sized and re-oriented. PLEASE HELP! ANY INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Dim oDialog As Dialog
 Dim strFile As String
 Dim oImage As Object
 Dim oRng As Object
     Set oDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture)
     With oDialog
         .Display
         If .Name <> "" Then
             strFile = .Name
         End If
     End With
     Set oImage = Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strFile)
     With oImage
         .LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
         .Height = CentimetersToPoints(25)
         .Width = CentimetersToPoints(19)
         Set oRng = .ConvertToShape
     End With
     With oRng

     End With
 Set oDialog = Nothing
 Set oImage = Nothing
 Set oRng = Nothing
End Sub

I also use a macro for updating file paths as soon as a document is opened (usually in reference to the document filepath itself, so that the location can be easily found by another person) I am not sure if this macro would come in handy for updating the object (which would be a image in this case) or if the linked image would automatically update upon opening the word document.

Converting Word Doc to PDF

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 12:40 PM PDT

I have a Word 2010 document that I created a while back. I have updated numerous times and converted to pdf with no problem. A few weeks ago I started getting Unknown error and the document doesn't save as pdf. I have Acrobat Pro XI. This did begin happening right after a Windows update. However, this is only happening with this one document. It's very strange. I did try to recreate and it worked once then stopped. I can convert it using Acrobat 9 which again is strange as XI is latest version. I even tried Print to pdf and it still doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas why this particular document generates an error when converting to pdf?

Multilevel list does not work after update

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 11:09 AM PDT

Split from this thread.

My problem started after an update from Microsoft. At first the multilevel worked as it was supposed(?) to. But after the update it doesn't work. How it was working was just like it would work if you are actually doing on a piece of paper. Even when I start a new page the multivlevel outline still doesn't work. So what now?

Word Paste Special Date Format

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 10:34 AM PDT

I have a document template I'm creating where a date must appear in one section in the the format of MMMM d, yyyy. However, in the footers, this date must appear in the format of M/d/yyyy. At the beginning of the document I used a date picker content control for the users to input the date. I then attempted to use the Paste Special option to paste the date from the date picker field into the footer as unformatted text. Problem is that although I can adjust the text properties, I can't change the date format using this method. Aynone have any ideas of how to do this or another recommendation of how to accomplish this? Thanks!

Drag and drop in word 2013 (and previous versions) does not work when any supporting window is open, such as Find, Styles, Cross Ref, etc.  The cursor converts to the internatinal "NO" symblol and DnD does not work.  When will this get fixed?

Dragon Naturally Speaking compatibilty with Office

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 07:36 AM PDT

I am having compatibility issues running Nuance DNS13 with Office (Office 365 University) products, specifically with Word I am running Win 8.1 pro. The Natspeak add-ins will not load.

I have tried un/registering dgnword.dll

I have tried to add the COM add-ins via Word.

I have been in contact with Nuance and Microsoft to no avail.

(Microsoft wanted me to upgrade to premium support services so that they could try remotely at $149/year, no thank you!)

Watermark is making my document longer

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT

Hi,

I have a document that is 16 pages long without a watermark and 22 pages when I add one. I have tried smaller font sizes (on the watermark) but with same result. I have revealed formatting in the document but it is not clear why this is happening. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks, TJ

Microsoft Word Annotative Document

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 06:36 AM PDT

Hi guys

I'm looking for a little bit of advice at the moment, I am trying to create a document that contains a front page with various options (tick boxes) and once those boxes are ticked, the document fetches the information from those selections from an external file and inserts them in the word document below. It is to create a document with the specific information regarding the project the user is working on so they only collect the information relevant to them

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Creating a form that populates remaining fields through the use of a drop-down box.

Posted: 07 Oct 2014 01:44 AM PDT

Hello,

I am using Office Word 2010 attempting to create a form that will populate fields through the use of making a selection with a drop-down box.

I have learnt how to populate other drop-down boxes using Legacy drop-down boxes, VBA case selection and adding new items however would like to do a similar thing with text boxes.

Ideally, this form will be able to be sent out to other machines as just a single file and simple to use. Could someone please point me in the correct direction?

Many Thanks,

Ryan

Page Orientation

I am trying to print a 5.5" X 8.5" document onto a 8.5" X 11" piece of paper in landscape form.  Is this possible?  I was able to do it on the older version of MS Word, but can't seem to do it on Office 2010.

deleting one-by-one, each Marked Index Entry is painful process, when index runs into pages - seeking help with a quicker approach

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 09:52 PM PDT

Using Word 2013, Insert Index feature, I created a many page index. But I am not quite satisfied with it. I want create a new index structured differently. 

I need to delete the entire index and recreate one from scratch. Deleting process that I know of, and the one available Office Help files do not give me a easy way.

I need to go Home and activate Show/Hide icon. That will identify all indexed entries using Mark Entry feature. Though pages look ugly because of those mark spread all over the pages but that I have to live with it.

Now, I have to select individually each item that looks something like this { XE- "marked word(s)" }. If I have used Mark All then there may be hundred page number entries against one word.

Deleting each and every such item is a painful task under these circumstances.

If someone can give a better option, I shall be very thankful.


Paragraph Spacing command does nothing

Posted: 06 Oct 2014 06:24 PM PDT

I've been teaching students how to use Office 2010 for years, but now have to adapt to Office 2013. One of the new features in Word is the Design tab, and it has a Document Formatting group that contains a Paragraph Spacing command. The Tool Tip for the command states the command will quickly change the paragraph spacing and line spacing of all existing and new paragraphs, but when I try to apply one of the choices, such as Open, which is supposed to set line spacing at 1.15 and space after paragraph of 10 pt, nothing happens. Nothing happens with any of the choices under the Paragraph Spacing command.

I can go to the Home tab, Paragraph group and launch the dialog and change line spacing and space after paragraph, and it works fine. I can modify the Normal style and it affects everything. But Paragraph Spacing does not affect anything. If I look at one of the offending paragraphs using the Style Inspector, I see that the style is normal style plus paragraph formatting set to single line spacing with no space after. I would expect, given the tool tip for the Paragraph Spacing command, that it would override those settings, but that does not appear to be the case. I know I can select the entire document and remove all formatting, but that's really extreme and formatting such as centering titles and subtitles is wiped out. Is there a way to enable built-in choices from Paragraph Spacing to override existing modifications?
