Installimg Office 2007

Posted: 11 Apr 2008 08:00 PM PDT

You *do* have to uninstall the trial first, then clear temp files & simply
reboot, as the H&S will not simply overwrite the trial

You can keep your earlier version, which may include outlook, if you desire,
and if doing so you should modify the shortcuts, eg Word >Word03. Or you
can, in 2007, save docs in the old format
(NB H&S 2007 doesnt contain Outlook, if you use that)

Help! Using an MST file to modify installation with group policy

Posted: 10 Apr 2008 05:09 PM PDT

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for pointing me to the correct article. Seems half the
battle, the more i do, is finding the right combo of words to search with.
Once I added the MST file to the modifications tab for the new package, it
all worked perfect.
Thank you again,

I would try uninstalling the compatibility pack, reboot, and try downloading

macros in Office 2007 (and in office 2003) with self-signed certificates

Posted: 08 Apr 2008 11:17 PM PDT

Thanks. It is a great info.
How about if a department wants to use a cetificate issued by Verisign or
other vendor? As an administrator how could I distribute that certificate to
the users to use the macros with the least user interaction?
Any possible options would interest me.

Also, is there is way to avoid the import action of the digital certificate
while we are doing a rollout without using a trusted location? Is there a
good scenario for desktop rollout regarding macros that are signed in Office
2003 and will move to a new OS and Office 2007?

Office 2007 No Longer Working

I seem to have found a 'sort' of fix.

It seems that creating a brand new Windows user profile, and logging to that
reveals that Office will launch fine. Which must mean the
corrupt/failing/persistant files do indeed exist somewhere within the user
profile. The few posts online I read on this, reveal that no-one has ever
successfully 'fixed' this problem yet.

I really don't want to have to spend God knows how long bringing my new
profile back in line with my old, and I prefer a fix than a work-around any
day, so if anyone can provide a complete list of Office related files which
exist within the user profile, I would be extremely grateful.

Hi K2NNJ,

If you're going into the Microsoft Office Choice in Add/Remove programs and set the French and Spanish tools to 'not available'

How can I remove the <OPTION> to enable password protection in Off

Thanks Bob, however, I did try the option in the OCT and it failed to
restrict that password usage. I am not able to test the use of the ADM
option as we are not setup to use policies that way.

We continue to have the need to disable the password feature. We are
preparing to push Office 2007 out and really would like to disable the
feature of password protection. I still have to time left to test any other
ideas.

No websites.

If you have a product key, you would need to find someone with that exact
same version of Office. If you have the key and it was for a retail copy of
Office (not OEM), Microsoft can replace your CDs for a nominal charge. If
your key is for an OEM version, you can't install it on another PC, with or
without the disks.

Switching from Office 2003 and Office 2007

Posted: 30 Mar 2008 09:09 PM PDT

I currently have installed Office components from O2k and 2003, together
with Office 2007
The MS reccommendation is to install earliest version first (Versions from
2003 install to version specific folders) update, then install later version
The shortcuts will be replaced by the later version, so you should rename
earlier shortcuts first, eg Word > Word03
Opening a file from explorer will open latest version
You can only install a single instance of Outlook

Microsoft Word - doesn't know

Microsoft Word - doesn't know


doesn't know

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 12:27 PM PST

This is the message I receive when I try to open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 or any of my word or excel documents.  What is this and why is it here all of a sudden?  And what can or should I do to fix it?  Should I really Accept all of this?

More Word Starter problems; finding a permanent solution?

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 11:42 AM PST

This past spring, after the death of XP, I began using a new system with Windows 7 and with Microsoft Office 2010 preinstalled. I don't use it often, don't have a log of the problems with it, but can say that MS Office Starter 2010 has never performed well like MS Word used to and it frequently takes forever, or simply hangs up permanently. During the last year, I have performed the repair function (successfully) a few times, yesterday being the latest. Yesterday, even afteran online repair, MSWS still wouldn't open a recently-composed document (and saved on my computer) while offline. I don't yet have an external HDD for backup (although I'm working on that) so don't really want to try the full uninstall/reinstall procedure, as I don't fully understand or trust all the quirks of this new system and am not sure I'd ever get it all back. OTOH, maybe that would make me give up and go to a good, free program with none of these problems....

I have used Excel. mainly for keeping track of rosters which were sent me, and have had significantly fewer problems with that part of the overall program; it normally seems to function correctly.

I have a very slow connection, sometimes want to write when I'm not connected at all, and don't have any need nor interest in saving my documents online. Most of what I use it for is writing simple letters with no eternal links or other fancy features. Some of these will be printed, others just saved for records.  Is there any way I can get rid of the "Click-to-run" proclivities of the program, its need to be always downloading (or uploading?) and make it work more as MS Word did, that is, to work fully and properly when offline?

 Thanks

Speech Recognition Slow in Word 2013

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 10:26 AM PST

Speech recognition is running horribly slow in Word 2013.  It takes a long time to start up, causes the entire program to freeze, and is very spotty in recognizing what I am saying. Most of the other posts here deal with earlier versions of Windows. I am using Windows 8.1, on a Microsoft Surface with 8 GB of ram, a 510 GB solid state drive and an i5 processor.   Word is the only program running, and I am using a USB headset.   Is there a quick fix for this?   Some of the other answers given in other posts involved opening the computer in safe mode or other diagnostics that eventually did not even solve the problem. Does Microsoft have an answer for this such as a diagnostics tool or something similar?  By the way, Speech Recognition does not run slow in other programs such as Excel or Google Chrome (in fact, I dictated this post in Google Chrome). 

Envelope printing problem using Word 2013 with new Canon Maxify MB2320 printer

Posted: 03 Jan 2015 09:37 AM PST

I just upgraded from a Canon MX870 All-in-one to the new Canon Maxify MB2320 All-in-one.  For some reason, Word 2013 is printing the return address of a size 10 envelope a full inch to the right of the paper edge.  It is treating the leftmost inch of the envelope as a non-printable area.  If I try to adjust the margins by dragging the margin setting left, it just won't print anything in the first inch.  Canon says it is a Word issue.  I have the latest printer driver as I just installed it.

Hi,

I want to create a Microsoft word 2013 document in which I will make a form to input customer details like name, contact details and needs. Then i wanna make this document non editable, mail it, and restrict customer from changing it's content and allow him only to input his details in it. Later he will fill this word document on his laptop and send it to me via email.

Now the problem with this is when I send it to the customer and he try to fill it then all the text gets misplaced/overlapped. Plus I don't know how to add drop down list for particular selection and a yearly calender to only select Month and year directly after clicking on it.

Here is the demo document.

Thanks...

EDIT :

I also want to make document with ease of access like after typing his name on line 1 if he hits Tab Key then the cursor should move to next field instead of moving forward by a Tab character. Just like we fill a sign up form on a web page.

Lost Unsaved Documents In Word 2010

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 06:23 PM PST

While closing out various Windows and program boxes, I accidentally closed a Word document before I could even name and Save it.  Despite having the automatic save features enabled, I still could not find it along the various file paths.  There is one document I found that might be it; but I would not know how to open or repair it.  To the left there is no AutoRecover pane to recover the document.  Measures I took include:

  1. Looking for files with the .asd extension
  2. Looking for files with the .wbk extension
  3. Looking for temp files
  4. Looking for ~ files
  5. Checked the Recycling Bin
  6. Using the Recover Unsaved Documents option under Recent
  7. Shut down Word and looked for processes in Task Manager to close (there were none)

So, I did a web search to find ways to locate the lost file and came up with none that worked, unless it is this peculiar file that I cannot open.  What are the repair measures I can take?

Thanks for your response Jason. Office 2007 was a separate purchase online

not an option and the wizard will not show me the phone number.

Computer manufacturers often install a trial version of Microsoft Office.
If you are getting a prompt to type in a Product Key when opening a Microsoft
Office program, it s likely the trial period is over and you'll need to purchase a
license (product key) for Microsoft Office.

The product key affixed to your computer is for Windows Vista (the operating system)
and not for Microsoft Office. Please review the following:

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF OFFICE PRO 2007 WORKS WITH VISTA & XP?

Posted: 19 Mar 2008 12:52 PM PDT

If you purchase the Upgrade version, make sure you have the Office 2000
disk/s handy and don't lose them. You will need them to either install the
07 upgrade onto a new system or on one that you have had to rebuild. No 00
disk, and the 07 install will fail. Of course if you are installing on a
system with the 00 version currently on it you won't need the 00 disk at
that time (only for a reinstall.)

Suppress Post-Install prompts through Office Customization Tool

Posted: 17 Mar 2008 11:48 AM PDT

Updating the latest Admin files allowed for me to disable the Privacy Options
prompt "Opt In screen"

However, Im unable to come up with a solution for the Windows Desktop Search.

I know the following will fix it for the current user:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\O utlook\Options\General]
"BodyEditor"="{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
"PONT_STRING"="60,"


My issue is I need to make it so all current user profiles or new ones need
to get this registry key added. how can I go about this?

automount - 2 directories / 1 map, is it possible?

Posted: 07 Sep 2008 04:38 AM PDT

I have used rdist to distribute automount config files and then
launch a Makefile on changed ones. Then I built knowledge
of hosts into the Makefile. When I did it my Makefile had
sections for Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Irix and so on instead of
using the hostname but the principle remains.

I've since switched from rdist to rsync but haven't needed to
trigger a Makefile on each host since making the switch. I
haven't checked if rsync can do that.
 

If all mounts from the host are effected you could also hack
/etc/inet/hosts and use the same name. Definite brute force
and ignorance approach. Very effective at times when it works.

upgrade to kernel 2.6 broke console font mapping?

How to install Debian CD#2 ~ CD#21?

Posted: 29 Aug 2008 11:32 PM PDT

J.H.Kim <com>: 

You don't. Consider them repositories of stuff you could install if
you wanted. As Bill mentions, use apt-cdrom to declare them all to
the pkg-ing system.

Now, you can "aptitude update && aptitude install gkrellm" (for
instance). It'll tell you which CD to to put in your reader,
depending on which package you want to install (BTW, you won't need
"update" again until you get new CDs or a net connection).
 

What are you using to post? Mozilla/Firefox/Iceweasel, or
slrn/tin/elm? Can you find error messages in the system log files
(/var/log/*)? How do you know it's not posted?

Consider subscribing to debian.org (see
http://lists.debian.org), and subscribing to bofh.it
(the gatekeeper of the mail to news gateway, linux.debian.user). In
fact, not doing that last one is very likely your problem. See
http://lists.bofh.it/options/linux-gate

Microsoft Word - Using Find and Replace

Microsoft Word - Using Find and Replace


Using Find and Replace

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 03:06 PM PST

I am an architect, and I have a standard set of notes I use when building houses. Sometimes I use these notes for a new house, sometimes, I use them for an addition onto an existing house. While most of the notes apply to both new construction and additions, there are some notes that refer only to new construction and some refer only to additions. Right now, I have to manually edit the text to remove the notes that don't apply. I am hoping to use find and replace to make my task easier. For example, here is a note that I use right now:

"Provide waterproofing on [new] foundation walls [only]."

For new construction, I would delete the "[new]" to make the sentence read "Provide waterproofing on foundation walls."

For additions, I would keep use the word "new" and "only" and just delete the brackets so the sentence would read "Provide waterproofing on new foundation walls only."

I thought I might be able to tag each bracketed comment so I could search and remove the brackets on the type of project I am writing for. For example, if I wrote my basic note as "Provide waterproofing on [ADDnew] foundation walls [ADDonly]", and wanted to edit it for an addition, I would search for "[ADD*]" and replace it with the word or words represented by the asterisk. If it was for new construction, I would just delete all the notes relating to additions. That would save me time editing the whole document for each of these little items (of which there are a lot).

I've read through the find and replace section, and can't find anything that would address this, but maybe someone knows a good way to be able to do this. I'm using the brackets, but it may be necessary to replace them with something else.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Text justification in tables in Word 2013

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 03:01 PM PST

Practically all of our company's Word documents have a header with vertical text (bottom to top) that is horizontally and vertically centered in one of the cells.  In compatibility mode, the text appears as it has in all previous versions.  When the document is converted, the text disappears unless one of the left justification options is chosen.  All of the 9 justification options work correctly for the other two (left to right and top to bottom) text directions.  For bottom to top text direction, the 9 justification options work correctly in new documents created in Word 2013.

Is there a setting or option that can be changed once the document is converted to correct this?

Also, on the same cells, when the text is selected, it is not displayed as highlighted, so it is difficult to tell when the desired text has been selected.

I have checked--my version is up to date.

Lost all local Word documents on 365 for iPad - help!

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 02:37 PM PST

I have just gone into Word for iPad on my 365 subscription. I was asked to sign in, which I though was odd. I have not done anything odd to my iPad, like restoring.

I signed in and all of my documents, saved locally, have disappeared. I tended to save docs locally to the iPad rather than to the cloud drive. 

Where have all my docs gone? The last time I used Word on iPad was a couple of weeks ago and all my docs were there.

Thanks

Scott

PS I tried to post to the Microsoft tech support but gave up because the serial number finding options did not cover the iPad version. Makes we wonder if Microsoft is really interested in the iPad products. 

Problem with Microsoft Word 2013 ABC Check Language

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 12:25 PM PST

While typing my document, everything will be normal. (Just as a note, I'm using the names of a lot of languages in my document). For words like "English', "German", etc., they'll all be OK. But for the ones like "Malay", "Indonesian", and "Dravidian", they are highlighted as incorrect. When I use ABC Check, it says they're being check in Spanish (Spain). How can I fix this? I continuously change it back to English (United States), but the next time I go over it, it is in Spanish again. Thank you for help!

Font size and cursor extra large & cannot be changed

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 08:58 AM PST

Re Word in the Office 2007 for Students and Teachers: Last two weeks the font size and cursor size

stuck on super large.  I have not magnetized the display settings, but they are set on large. I have changed

the cursor size to medium and then small, restarted as required,  but that has no effect. I have

tried changing the font size in Word but no change can be made. I have had windows 7 64 bit on

this HP laptop for three years with no problem except hat Flash player will only install the 32 bit version.

I ran the Word diagnostics several times.  No problems found except the set up diagnostic could not

complete.  Details claimed the original source could not be found, original source was listed as the CD.

I inserted the CD but it had no effect. 

I uninstalled Office 2007 for Students and Teachers and re-installed it.  Problem still exists.

I do not know what else to do.

Microsoft Office Word Error

Posted: 02 Jan 2015 08:29 AM PST

I recently downloaded new email program called Incredimail. The program works well except when I attach a word document and try to open it, it always comes back with  "word has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Word will need to be closed as a result".  When I try to open it in Word, it says the "directory path is not valid". Does anyone know how to correct this problem.

Cannot associate .docx/.xlsx with Office 2013 programs

Posted: 01 Jan 2015 06:52 PM PST

Hi

I have Windows 8.1 OS, and Office 2007 and Office 2013 as well. Until yesterday I was able to open a docx file using MS Word 13, but today when I click the same file it is not opening with Word 13 and instead Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 opens up and starts a 'Configuration Process' and finally opens the file in Word 2007.

When I clicked on the Word 2013 icon, I am able to open it and I can also open the same file using word 2013 but I have to go to "Open" and then select the file in the already opened Word 2013. Else if I double click the docx file it does not open in 2013 but in 2007.

  • I tried right clicking and 'open with' option, but when I do it the default option says "Word (Desktop)", and if I click more options and go to the "C>Prog Files>Microsoft Office 15>root>office15"  to open in Word 2013 and select "winword.exe", it still opens in 2007 and not 2013. But when I click the same icon "winword.exe" directly, word 2013 opens up and not 2007.
  • I also check "File association" and "default progs", but everywhere it says "Word (Desktop)", even after changing the association to Word 2013 icon in office15, I still cannot open the file in word 2013 by directly clicking on it.

Thank same goes for excel as well. May be other progs as well; haven't check for others.

Need assistance, please suggest a solution.

Thank You

corrupt template or encrypted somehow Word 2003

Posted: 01 Jan 2015 06:25 PM PST

Hi

I have a problem with some word2003 files that has me puzzled. Have tried to fix the master template by the assistance found on this site without any luck. Also have tried outside recovery programs that have all said the files were encrypted.Most outside programs were filled with other things so after a few tries it was time to stop.  Have also tried the help sections in word 2007 and 2013. My hope is to find a way to fix them and also if possible understand more of how it happened to prevent it from happening again. The files came from a family members computer without a backup copy. Will attach a shot of what it looks like trying to open a file.Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Word 2013: Save to desktop directly without clicking on 'browse'

Posted: 01 Jan 2015 05:32 PM PST

Anytime I hit 'ctrl-s' it brings me to the 'save as' screen. I then have to click 'browse' and pick a save location. As I am not interested in skydrive at the moment, this means every time I save something I am forced to do the extra click (by clicking the browse).

I know this is such a minor issue, but its such a senseless waste of time (always doing the extra click) it has been bugging me more and more recently.

How can I setup Word 2013 to bypass this screen?

My Microsoft Word 2007 has stopped working

Posted: 01 Jan 2015 05:23 PM PST

I have been using it quite happily for years. Since yesterday, whenever I tried to open a Word document, I get a message from Windows Installer saying 'preparing to install'. 

I have tried restarting the computer, and also uninstalling the latest installed updates.

Please help. Word is vital for my work.

Best wishes.
