Hi

I have a Microsoft office 2007 Pro Plus, english version, and have the
Multilanuage Proofing tool DVD set, and is trying to make a silent
installation af danish proofing to the office installation.

If I run the installation manual, and only select danish, everything work's
fint, but how to make a silent installation of danish proofing.

If I run the Proof.da\Proof.msi file, I get following error :

Error 1713: Setup cannot isntall one of the required products for Microsft
Office Proof (Danish) 2007

What is missing ?

Office 2007 Upgrade won't recognise previous version

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 04:45 AM PST

Hello Penny

I am having similar problems and would appreciate an answer. Some
background of my case:

Outlook keeps crashing
Tried to use repair from control panel, add/remove programs - it says
"product installation is corrupted, reinstall".
If I try and reinstall, I have same issue as you, it comes up with "the path
you have chosen does not have a qualifying upgradeable product".

I have tried office 2003, XP and 200 CDs and even tried installing works
7.0. It neither recognizes the CDs nor the installations.

I found a Knowledge Base article giving the details that Carey gave, but
this does not reflect exactly what I see eg:
Enter the product key and click OK - I only see a continue box
In the Product Compliance Check CD Key box... I don't see anything that
tells me that is what it is called, I get a window that is titled "Locate
your earlier version of Microsoft Office". And again no OK box, just a
continue.

This might seem like pedantry, but it would suggest that what I am seeing is
not what is being described.

At the moment I am seriously regretting the "upgrade" to 2007 and wondering
if I can get a refund for all the copies we bought for our company.

Best Regards

Ashley

Office Trial Activation Trouble

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 10:25 PM PST

My computer did come with one, but I just got the computer a week ago, and
the trial version that came with it worked for about 2 hours, but after I had
closed Office and tried to use it again, that trial version gave me exactly
the same message even though prior to that it had told me my trial would
expire till april.

I suggest try this link to read what Microsoft has to say about
replacement CDs. You will need to speak to somebody at MS and explain
to them so that they can help you get replacement CDs for your installed
products.

Set Default Office Font with GPO ?

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 12:54 PM PST

Hi Thomas,

Not really, there isn't a single setting for that. Each app has its own method for defining default styles and the fonts that go
with them, and there are settings for each of these. You haven't mentioned the version of Office you're using. You may want to
have a look at the Office Resource Kit (ORK) for the version you're planning to deploy.

Re-installation of Office 2003

Posted: 18 Feb 2008 01:36 AM PST

No, since this is a migration across versions I would recommend to
reconfigure manually. This is a far less painless process than fixing all
sorts of weird issues later. You'll need to start with a new pst-file anyway
when you want to take advantage of the new UNICODE file format.

Enabling other language in office 2007

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 01:51 PM PST

Hi Richie,

The F6 key works during the conversion process when the IME is active.
Normally F6 in Word is the 'Next pane' accessibility key in Office 2007 ('Other Pane' in Office XP and 2003) and seems to take
precedence, but you may want to use the link below to also post in the MS Word International features group. I usually just switch
from the IME toolbar after assigning a keyboard shortcut to switch to the Japanese keyboard in Windows control panel as mentioned
previously. When switching to a Japanese keyboard that pops the IME toolbar into view.

Office 2007 long installs

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 12:52 PM PST

Hi Kelli,

MSP patch files in Office setup aren't supported if you're using GPO deployment. Both types of installation are covered in the
Office 2007 resource kit at http://microsoft.com/office/ork
If you're using a GPO deployment then the customizations basically take place in the product config.xml files and in the scripting.

Installing / Reinstalling / Adding - Office / Media audio

Posted: 15 Feb 2008 09:48 AM PST

Hi K.C.,

It's possible that it's a Vista or Media Player rather than Office issue.

I'm able to play all of the 19 sounds (many with 'zero' length in Nero Showtime, Windows Media Player and Irfanview as well as when
inserted into a Powerpoint 2007 slide. In Irfanview, for example, the shortest actual length is 0.1 seconds for click.wav and
arrow.wav while Media Player reports them as 00:00. You may want to check to see what result you get with Irfanview,
http://irfanview.com

You may want to use the link below to also post this in the MS Office Powerpoint discussion group.

======================
<<"KC" <com> wrote in message news:%phx.gbl...
PP 2007 seems to play a couple which have properties "length" greater than zero. The audio files with property "length" = 0 don't

It's a hunch that this is the problem. There are a couple of posts on this subject in the net.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for looking at my post and replying. I may have missed some
details in my post, due to my frustrations in not being able to put
together a relatively simple package.
Yes, Terminal Services was installed in Applications Server mode -
these servers are going to be part of a Citrix 4.5 farm. Citrix 4.5
has also been installed. My machines are newly built Dell 1955 blade
servers. I followed KB311241 closely. This was a fresh install of
Office 2003. Again, I chose 'Not Installed, Locked and Hidden' for
the components I did not wish to install. I also chose 'Do not migrate
previous installation,' even though this was a squeaky clean
installation.
The command line I used to install the package was:

msiexec.exe /i "Z:\OFF11\pro11.msi" /t "Z:
\OFF11\CtxOfficeTrans.MST" /qb-

BTW, after this installation, if I run the Custom Maintenance Wizard,
I can un-install the components that I don't want. However, I would
prefer a clean server, hosting cleanly installed apps and no leftover
crumbs from un-installed applications.

Thanks again,

Bob W.

Office 2007 Reactivation

Posted: 14 Feb 2008 03:40 AM PST

Thank you for your response.

Please accept my apologies for not mentioning that the troubleshooting
suggestions contained in KB919895 had already been tried, but much of what is
contained in that article did not seem relevant to this issue.

The only symptom experienced is that the Activation Wizard fails to start
and that no error message is received (as mentioned in OP)

However, results obtained were as follows:

Method1: The time and date settings on the computer are correct.

Method 2: Options>Resources>About reports that the version is Home and
Student and that it is licensed.

Method 3: Deleting Opa12.dat does not enable the Activation Wizard to start.

Method 4: The internet connection is functioning normally.

If you are able to make any further suggestions, these will be much
appreciated.

TIA

I have tried installing from the desktop as well as the CD. My copy is also

Hi Lostone,

Assuming that you are talking about picking up both SMTP and POP mail,
use Exchange to pick up SMTP mail, but use a product like
SmartPOP2Exchange (JAM Software) to pick up POP mail. Exchange can
only pick up POP mail every 15 minutes, whereas a product like
SmartPOP2Exchange can pick up POP mail every minute.

Exch2007 Public Folder: Publishing Editor cant delete other's fold

Posted: 20 Mar 2008 03:01 PM PDT

I would think the same.

Root folder has both users in a group that has Publishing Editor rights.
Thats all the rights on the root folder for these 2.

User A creates a folder underneath root folder, and both A & B have
publishing editor rights.

However user B cannot delete this new folder under root.

Mail from certain people not getting through

Posted: 19 Mar 2008 09:54 AM PDT

That was a good link but it does not address the problem here. I have
safelist aggregation turned on for the server and I have sent several
messages to this user so his address should be in the whitelist. Is there a
way to get a list of what has been whitelisted?

I am not sure of the processing order but if it matches the order in the
antispam tab then the sender id agent does it's work after the content filter
has completed it's work. I am guessing that the message is getting past the
content filter but is being killed by the sender id agent given the agent log
entry. From what I can tell this is a configuration setting that our vendor
will have to take up with their ISP so the DNS record can be updated. But
they have no clue since they simply forward all outbound mail to their ISP
for delivery. I have not attempted to configure this for our domain yet
either so I don't know how to help them.

Inserting a Word 2010 document (PC version) into another word document -- cannot re-size it

Posted: 20 Dec 2014 12:45 PM PST

I have converted a pdf form into Word, so that it publishes in a clearer fashion.

Now I need to insert this Word form into another Word document and size it to fit the page.  The conversion looks OK, but I cannot re-size the form, which seems to be a combination of a table and image.  I was able to do this without any problems in prior Word versions, but not now.   I have to decrease the size using % or cropping, but the form doesn't decrease in size, instead, parts get "erased."  

I have tried copy and paste, insert as an object, etc. with no success - the form refuses to be re-sized/decreased.  Maybe there is something about the form itself that is not allowing it to be re-sized.  Any ideas?  I'm trying to publish in CreateSpace and inserting or copying and pasting pdf files is not working- the image comes out too blurred; using the converted Word form has worked better in the past as far as publishing is concerned, but I cannot re-size it to fit a set format.

Thanks in advance.

Perpetual Calendar

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 04:32 PM PST

I am a member of a large social organization (600 members).  Every year we publish a month by month calendar with the members' birthdays on it.  I recently became the manager of this calendar.  In the past, the calendar was kept in Microsoft Word and was updated througough the year by maually deleting past members and adding new members.  When it came time to make the calendar for the new year, individual days would be copy and pasted to the new year's calendar.  

This seems crazily inefficient to me.  Is there a way using word or access or excel or really any other program to almost mail merge a table of birthdays into a calendar?  My goal would be to be able at the end of the year to just print out a new year's calendar.  I tried using google calendar and outlook calendar, but the formatting was such that it didn't work.

when I CTRL+A and try removing boarders there are none (they are not gridlines) yet when I ALT+CTRL+U it removes the lines however I also get the above issue.

Office 'Word' missing from Start Menu, All Programs, Microsoft Office Folder

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 04:08 PM PST

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64

Microsoft Office Academic 2010

When I opened the Administrator account for the first time to add a desktop short cut for Word, I went to: Start Menu, All Programs, Microsoft Office Folder, everything was there as expected except no Office Word....

I know Office is installed because my two Admin/User accounts both have the file in the proper place in the start menu.

I can also right click on the Desktop of the Administrator account and pull up a copy of Office Word... it just isn't a shortcut.

I tried the following: Computer > C Drive > Program Files > Microsoft Office > Office 14 > (application) WINWORD (right click - send to desktop)

Note: Computer > C Drive > Program Files(x86), > Microsoft Office > Office 14 > (application) contains no 'WINWORD' file...

I could re-install/repair Office from the installation disc, or leave things as they are. I am wondering what the Sam heck is going on?

Add Open Recent File command to the Quick Access Toolbar

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 04:08 PM PST

Split from this thread.

One of the customizations I do to the QAT is to add the "Open Recent File" command to it.

In your very informative post, you stated "One of the customizations I do to the QAT is to add the "Open Recent File" command to it."  How.  How did you add that command?  I used it all the time in previous versions of Word and I did not find that as an option when I customized my QAT in Word 2013.  Before you go there (if you were going to go there) I'm not really interested in any third party solutions.  I might be interested in some programming to bend Word 2013 to my will using brute force.  What I'd like to believe is that Microsoft didn't arbitrarily eliminate such a useful command but just renamed it something unintuitive.  If they did delete the command from the QAT list of possible commands, I'll just use this version of Word as my last Microsoft productivity software solution and eventually switch to Apple or maybe just stop using words to communicate altogether.

PDF Conversion Hiccups

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 03:34 PM PST

When converting a large-ish word document (130 pages, >6 mb) to a pdf, certain text comes out pixelated and fuzzy. The curious thing is it's only the second-level section heading (which is based on the 'Heading 2' style). This would be a heading such as "B-2 Facilities Requirements". I use styles to do section headings and link it all to a Table of Contents. It goes four levels deep at the deepest (something like B-2.1.4). Everything else comes out crystal clear. Images (pictures) could be sharper, but all other text is perfect.

There are a plethora of different methods to convert to PDF, but the most effective method I've found has been to just 'Save As - PDF' through the standard Save As interface in Word. Any suggestions as to why this particular heading is having trouble converting to a pdf cleanly? Or how to get pictures to convert more cleanly?

Thanks!!

They have ordered additional licenses and got a 2007 key this time, previous
versions were 2003 and they didn't order new media.

Will have to get them to order a CD, I was trying to get their new PC's up
and running without the delay of getting the CD delivered.

Reinstall of Office 2003: Will Oulook retain settings, and .pst in

Posted: 04 Feb 2008 08:15 PM PST

Thanks for the reply. If anyone knows of this registry fix, I'd be happy to
try it. Otherwise, the uninstall/reinstall may be the best way, especially
since the customer will be doing this themselves.
Has anyone seen a KB article about the GA tool not reporting correctly? I'll
do some searching today.

Corrupted setup disk 2003 version

Posted: 02 Feb 2008 07:07 PM PST

Is this by chance an OEM version of Office 2003 that came with your original
laptop (May say something about use on new computer only on CD label)? If
so you will need to purchase a new version for your new laptop.

If this is a retail version, you really need to see if Office 07 is
installed on the laptop. If so you need to uninstall that version before
you can successfully install 03.

Let us know about the OEM status to allow us to help others.

Where does Office 2003 validate over the Internet

Posted: 01 Feb 2008 03:15 PM PST

<< I'm not quite clear why using a proxy server would not work >>

A proxy would work and does for other computers. These computers are
sensitive test stations with no games or other distractions available.
Defaut Gateway is removed and Proxy entries are locked down to keep off the
Interent purposely.

The problem is that many, but not all, times a computer will request
activation again. Not sure why, but it does. For the computers who access
the Internet via a proxy this is not an issue, but on these locked down
secure computers it is a problem and requires me to undo all my lockdowns to
activate again.

We do not have a VL for XP and Office - Too expensive. We get OEMs because
since Win 95 and NT 4.0 we really have not had a computer that we could say
really ran well with the lastest release of Windows and Office for long. We
usually upgraded the hardware shortly after to the lastest as well. It
makes more sense for us to purchase the $140 OEM of Windows and $170/$325 of
office Basic/Pro rather than the double priced VL.

The reason I would like to get the info on where the validation server is on
the Interent is so I can build a static route to the WPA/WGA servers for all
my computers so if they have to activate they can do it even on the locked
down computers.

Any way to direct what drive Office 2007 SP1 installs to?

Posted: 31 Jan 2008 11:42 PM PST

To add a little to Bob's answer, if you want Office 2007 to be on a
different drive, you'll need to uninstall Office 2007 and reinstall it
using the Custom option. Within the installation dialog you'll be
given the option to select where to install Office. Once you have it
installed, you can then add the Office 2007 SP1.

Touble installing Office Enterprise

Posted: 28 Jan 2008 10:23 PM PST

Hi Bob
Tried that also, got the phone numbers and spent all day unsuccessfully
pressing different option numbers to get no-where within Microsoft. All I was
eventually offered was an e-mail address to send a technical question to, but
have since found out that this is a "general" e-mail address and so I have no
idea when someone will look at this issue !
Uninstalled the free demo software that came with the new laptop and it
still doesn't install. So, currently frustrated big-time with a product that
won't install, cost £17 and has cost more in phonecalls and my time so far !
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

Paginating large documents

Pictures not showing in Word 2013, no problem with same file in word 2010

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 01:17 PM PST

I have a large word file with numerous pictures inserted as TIFF files. In Word 2010, the pictures are all visible on screen and when I print them. However, when opening the same file (saved as docx or doc - I've tried both) in Word 2013 not all pictures are visible and they don't convert to pdf or print out either. It varies between which ones are and which aren't so I don't think its a problem with the pictures themselves. The pictures come up as either blank white boxes or with a little red cross and the statement 'error picture cannot be displayed'.

All files are less than half a page and therefore shouldn't be affected by the error involving multipage TIFF files that I've seen mentioned.

I've formatted them as 'tight', however I've tried the other options and this doesn't appear to change anything. 

I've also been through the advanced settings options and deselected 'show pictures as placeholders'.

I'm not sure what else to do - I've tried playing around with all sorts including changing privacy options within the trust center. Any advice would be very much appreciated - I wish I'd just stuck with Word 2010!

Many thanks

Hannah

How can I copy the list of headings (and headings only) in Navigation Pane w/o copying each heading one by one?

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST

How can I copy the list of headings (and headings only) in Navigation Pane w/o copying each heading one by one? My list of headings for a long doc is a great outline for this doc. How do I copy these headings into a separate doc (a doc with only the headings)?

I looked online and all I could find one a 3rd party Word/Office add-in that looked real sketchy (as in likely to infect my PC). Thanks. 

Memory issues in Word 2013

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 10:36 AM PST

My wife has a large Word document (over 1000 pages with numerous pictures) and when she works with the document she does some copy and pasting.  There are many times that she gets an error message that she is out of memory.  She is using a PC with Win 7 amd Office 2013 (was using Office 2007 with same problem).  The PC had 8 GB of ram so I increased the ram to 16 GB but she still has the same problem.

Does anyone know why she is getting the error message and what can be done to eliminate the problem?

 

Excel Word Mail Merge: Date Formatting Errors (Windows PC vs. Mac)

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 10:01 AM PST

I am working on what should be an extremely simple problem, but which is driving me to a murderous rage.

I have a very simple spreadsheet: (See below)

List of names in first column + ~20 columns, each representing an event

Each cell is filled with a date when an individual attends an event.  Each column has been formatted as numbers.

However... as shown, if I don't know the exact date of attendance, I insert placeholder text, like an X, o, or "skip"

Sometimes if there are two dates, I enter them as text with a semicolon. 

I need to create a very simple mail merge document, showing a single individual's attendance.  All I need is for the dates to show up in the mail merge.  And when I do this on a Mac using Excel for Mac 2011, it works perfectly.  (See below.)

HOWEVER, for some unfathomable reason, when I do it on a PC running MS Office 2010, this is the result I get:

A bewilderingly random mishmash of dates, times, serial numbers, and placeholders...

After spending hours in the help forums, I have thus far:

- played around with the field coding (i.e. adding \@ "MM/dd/yyyy")

- tried removing all placeholders from the column and assuring only dates appear in the column

- tried merging using DDS

- added a first row to the database that is formatted correctly with no blanks or placeholders

Can anyone help me figure out what on earth I am missing here?

Selecting one Value in a userform and have another value placed in the text field of a word document.

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 09:48 AM PST

I guess i'm just slow when it comes to VBA..  But i've looked all over the net for examples of code where

i tab into a field on a form, a userform pops up with my list of options, select an option but a different value 

goes into the field.

I went to http://www.gmayor.com/Userform.htm

and looked here, but i just don't understand the code.

this is the code format that i'm using now

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveDocument.FormFields("MNP").Result = Me.ListBox1.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.Caption = "Select Missing Person Code"
    With Me.ListBox1
        .TabIndex = 0
        .AddItem ""
        .AddItem "Amber Alert"
        .AddItem "Child Abduction"
        .AddItem "Disaster Victim"

        .AddItem "Missing Person"
        .ListIndex = -1
    End With
End Sub

What i want to do, is when you Select Amber Alert from the userform, it actually places "AA" in the MNP field in my word document.

Publisher 2013 Flyer publishes chopped up

Live contact list usage for mailings

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 07:24 AM PST

Word 2010 uses the contact list for mailings that is found in Outlook. I want to switch from Outlook to Windows live mail and use the contact list from that feature.

How do I:

Keep the Windows live mail contacts synchronized with Outlook 2010?

    OR

Get the contact list from Windows Live Mail contact list into Word 2010 for use with the mailings feature?

can't create a label or insert an address using the Mailings tab and accessing the address book

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 05:53 AM PST

When I try to create a label or insert an address using the Mailings tab and accessing the address book I can't get to see the address in the address address book, all I see is either Phone numbers or Email of any of my contacts there in. I had it working fine before, I don't know what has changed, maybe I should outline my steps and what I have encountered  (these steps always worked before!) "***THIS IS NOT A MAIL MERGE ISSUE" IT HAPPENS WHEN CREATING A SINGLE ENVELOPE OR LABEL"

 

1) I open word 2010

2) select "Mailing"

3) select Envelopes or Labels

4) Envelopes and Labels form pops up

5) Click on delivery address

6) Select Name pops up

7) type the name and click go (search Name only or more columns, same results )

8) it shows only full name and email or phone #, no address info!!

Hope this give you a better idea of what is happening! Thanks

Foglihtenno01 font wont print

Hi

I downloaded the FoglihtenNo01 font and it printed fine from Word 10. Now when I try to print the document comes out of the printer blank. Other fonts are printing fine. I can see it on the screen but it wont print from word or power point. I am not doing anything different from before so don't understand why it worked and now doesn't, any ideas how to fix?  I have tried saving as pdf and it prints from there but font looks slightly different and not good enough quality for wedding invitations.

Thank you.

Office Mobile for Android - Issue with Login to OneDrive

Posted: 19 Dec 2014 12:19 AM PST

Hello,

I am posting a question regarding Microsoft Office Mobile for Android phone.  I have been using Office Mobile for some time now, and believe that I started to use it at least 6-7 months ago without difficulty.  Seven days ago (12/12/2014), I began to encounter an error message with use of Office Mobile.

Initial problem 12/12/2014: Files recently added to OneDrive would not show up on Office Mobile (android phone). 

Files added to One Drive: would not show up on Office Mobile (android phone).

Files saved on Office Mobile (android phone) would show up on OneDrive.

There were non accessibility problems with OneDrive.

I could create new files on Office Mobile; however, after creating a new file, the following error message would show up: "Can't complete task.  Office Mobile encountered a problem"  Two button options existed in the error window, either "Cancel", or "Retry".

If I clicked "Cancel", I could proceed to keep creating documents on Office Mobile (Android phone); however, documents added on OneDrive would never show up on my document list on Office Mobile (Android phone).

I eventually reinstalled the program to try and resolve the issues.  Now, when I try to login to my account on Office Mobile, I receive the same error message: Can't complete task.  Office Mobile encountered a problem"  Two button options existed in the error window, either "Cancel", or "Retry".

I now am unable to access *ANY* of the files on OneDrive with Office Mobile, and the file location cannot even be accessed from my Android / Office Mobile.  Attempts to login to the OneDrive on Office mobile give the same error as above.

Over this entire time, I could access OneDrive fine, and directly edit / modify files on OneDrive.  The error seems to arise when I try to link my Android phone (Office Mobile) with the files on my OneDrive Account, generating the error.

Interestingly, I have been able to add a DropBox account successfully to OfficeMobile, and access all files on my DropBox account without difficulty.  When I try to add the OneDrive account, the error messages arise.

I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the application at least 3 times without improvement of the situation.  I have also tried deleting the data/cache without uninstalling Office Mobile, which has also not resolved the problem.  Under "Settings" --> "Accounts", a "Microsoft" account is listed after I login for the first time; however, I seem to be unable to access the files on OneDrive associated with the account.  If I remove the "Microsoft" account from my phone, and re-log in, the account shows up again, but I still encounter the same error message on Office Mobile.

Thank you for this application, it has been very useful to me over the time I have used it.  I appreciate any suggestions you have so that I can resume working with OneDrive.

Show Privacy Options

Posted: 18 Dec 2014 03:54 PM PST

Microsoft Word 2010 or 2013 both 32 bit. Windows 7 or 8.1 either 32 or 64 bit.

I have a need to quickly check the status of 'Remove Personal Information' in the Trust Center>>Privacy Options when I open a Word file.

  • I tried adding the Privacy Options to the QAT, and to a new group in the Ribbon. While the icon is added, clicking it just brings up a blank dialog.
  • I tried recording a macro, but because you need to OK or cancel the Privacy Options dialog to stop the macro recorder, nothing get recorded in the macro when I go into the VBA editor.

  1. Is the blank Privacy Options dialog a Microsoft bug?
  2. Does anyone have a quick method for checking the RPI status w/o going through all of the File menu options?

Thank you,

Sue
