Office 2007 Set-up in corporate environment

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 10:00 AM PDT

Hi J.,

You may want to review the information on this in the Microsoft Office 2007 Resource kit,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179140.aspx on elevated permissions.

The actual installation of Office 2007 is done from the Local Installation Source (\MSOCache folder) after that folder is created on
the individual PC. The folder is created in the same drive as the \Program Files\ entry for Office. In addition, Office setup
writes files to the registry and to both the Windows folders and the \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared.
In addition, Office writes a let of temporary files during installation so be sure you have your TEMP= and TMP= system variables
pointed to a location that is neither write or deletion protected.

The permissions required for running Office are listed in this article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277867/en-us?FR=1

========== 
Hello All,
I'm project lead on the upgrade of our Office system here from Office
20003 to 2007. For the last week I have had trouble installing the
application. I kept getting an error during the first part of the
installation claiming that a certain file on the installation DVD
could not be found. When I browse to the file, I get an "Invalid
Location" error.
That being said, I was able to resolve this issue: Our office PCs are
set-up with the archaic C/D drive partition, & setting the C-drive to
READ ONLY for non-admin users. Even if you are logged in as an Admin,
you will not be able to install Office 2007 unless the C drive rights
are changed to allow writing ability for all users. By "unlocking" the
C-drive, I was able to successfully install the software.
Now, this is an over-all issue because the manpower required to
temporarily remove the C drive protection to install the application
would be ridiculous. And, by setting group policy to allow writing to
the C drive, I leave open some security holes (again, I understand
this is not the most efficient security system we have, but it is out
of my hands). So, I need to figure out which folder on the C drive is
being created &/or written to so that I can set group policy to allow
User write rights to that particular spot only.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If this does not make any sense, let me know & I can re-clarify.

Thanks much!

I appreciate your suggestion, but I have no Outlook installed. When I got

Some coding somewhere in the MS maze seems to make the Pro trail installer
THINK Outlook is installed. That is why I was wondering if there is some
cleansing file that deletes whatever coding is confusing the trail installer. >>

Well, I figured out something....

My application that works is executing as "Administrator" user. When I
login to the prebuilt CRM user interface as "Administrator" my
post-callouts fire fine.

But if I login to the crm as "Joe User" even if that user is a member
of the domain "Administrators" group - No Dice.

So the problem is obviously user rights of some sort? Anyone got a

As far as I know you can't redeploy to a different language. So the

moving all the data to the new server.
Thginking about how to change the forms is more work then changing the

CRM SFO Installation Problem

Posted: 23 Aug 2005 10:32 AM PDT

you mentioned that the user you are installing as is a memeber of the domain
admins group - is the user or the domain admins group a member of the local
administrators group on the workstation? That's the only permission that is
required as far as I know.

The first thing that should appear (immediately) is the EULA page - can you
verify that there is a file called "MSCRMClientEULA.rtf" in the same
directory as the setup.exe?

Security roles for support staff

Again, you should create teams. Matt's right, if you assign a record
to a new owner, the old owner will still have access to it. But teams
would let you give access to individual records to multiple support and
sales staff (at the extreme, each sale could be administrated by a
complete novel set of users, in a new team created for that purpose.)

Yes, if you create teams and "share" the views with those teams, you
can hide those views from other users. You might want to consider
create "My Reached" and never reached views so that each owner just
sees their own, even if the security model would allow them to see more

Unexpected way of deleting Word form

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 12:53 PM PST

Hello:

I created a word form template, and protected it by clicking Group > Group. I then opened an instance of the template, and placed the cursor at the beginning of the form and clicked Delete to test that the form was protected. Imaging my surprise when the entire form was highlighted, and deleted entirely when I clicked Delete again.

The above does not happen when you click somewhere else first, and then click at the beginning of the file and press Delete. However, it happens every time you click Ctrl+A and then Delete.

Is this normal behavior? I thought that "protected" meant "protected".

Thanks,

Save As folders for Word all pointing to my Documents folder

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:57 AM PST

I click Save As in Word to save a new document and select a Recent Folder.  No matter which Recent Folder I select it continues to load the Save File dialog for my local Documents folder.  It doesn't matter if I'm trying to save to One Drive locations or local folder locations, it always loads the Save File dialog for my local Document folder.  

Additionally, If I open an existing document and click Save As and select a Recent Folder I am always presented with the Save File dialog for the original location of the document.

In both cases I am forced to manually navigate to the location where I desire to save the file.  

The Save As functionality is working correctly for Powerpoint and Excel. 

I also noticed that the mouse cursor is spinning (indicating processing) when not on the Save File dialog while the Save File dialog is open in Word.  In Power Point and Excel the mouse cursor reverts back to it's default state.

Any ideas?

Replacing ^w^p with ^p fails

I'm having the same sort of problem, which I encounter periodically while using Word 2010. This time, I have Track Changes off and and am attempting to do a find and replace of ^w^p to ^p.

I've tried draft view and print layout view, and have tried selecting the parts of the document with extra whitespace and accepting changes before trying it, but nothing helps.

Sorting of identical index entries that use different \t switches

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:20 AM PST

I have an index in which I want to refer to (1) the page number and (2) the last number of a certain sequence.


Adopting the approach described at http://word.tips.net/T001580_Including_Section_Numbers_in_an_Index.html, I use the \t switch of the index entry to specify the page (using the field "{ PAGE }") and the last number of the sequence "mysequence" using "{SEQ mysequence \c}".


A sample index entry therefore looks like this:

{ XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }


So far so good; the problem occurs if there are multiple occurrences of the same keyword: the page numbers are sorted in the incorrect (reverse) order.


For example if I have

- on page 2 at sequence number 23: { XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }

- on page 5 at sequence number 102: { XE "keyword" \t "{ PAGE }:{SEQ mysequence \c}" }


I would expect to get the following index (using "{ INDEX \e " " \c "2" \z "3079" }"):

keyword......................................2:23, 5:102

Instead I get:

keyword......................................5:102, 2:23

I would be tremendously grateful if anybody could help me out.

Best regards & many thanks in advance,

Lukas

inserting a multi-page Word document as object into Outlook

File size is HUGE from images

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 09:46 AM PST

I have inserted two images (with total file size of 1.1 MB) as cover and title page of a document. The doc now has a file size of  39 MG, and is unwieldy to work on, to say the least!

I separated the file into "Cover and Title" and "the rest of the doc" to facilitate editing, but will eventually need to combine them.

I made sure the "do not compress images" box is unchecked.

(I originally inserted  raw images, then used some of Word's image tools to modify....which resulted in a file size of 56 MB and did not print the text on these two pages when saving to PDF!!!!! I then pasted the "modified" images into an image editing program and reduced the file sizes to 639 KB and 469 KB. I inserted these two into a new file, which, as stated above, now is 39 MB.)

It seems I must be missing something, or doing something wrong.  Is there any help for this?

Thank you :)

The add in was disabled. I enable it every time I turn on my computer, but the problem occurs again and again with both dragon and word becoming unresponsive.

I started working with the dictation box (much less comfortable), but today, it also got stuck twice!

Is there an update to fix a bug? Could there be a problem with MCaffee, which I installed recently too?

Get the table index of a content control

Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:45 AM PST

Hi,

I have a Word document with several tables, n rows, 6 columns. The fifth column contain in each cell a content control (combobox)

Depending on the selected item, I want to color that cell. Using the following code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
   ''' table 1 is networking, table 2 is security analysis
   Dim oRng As Word.Range
   Dim intRow As Integer, intCol As Integer
  
   Set oRng = ContentControl.Range
   intRow = oRng.Cells(1).RowIndex
   intCol = oRng.Cells(1).ColumnIndex
  
   Select Case ContentControl.Range.Text
      Case "OK"
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -704577639
      Case "N/A"
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -603930625
      Case Else ''' clear contents
         oRng.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = -654246093
   End Select
End Sub

What I would add:

- In case "OK", add the date into the cell on the same row, column 6.

- For the other options, clear the contents of the cell in column 6.

I tried to figure out how to find the table index but I am get stuck. Any idea how to get the index? Thanks for your time.

MS Word Mail Merge via DDE Problem

Posted: 07 Jan 2015 04:02 PM PST

I have a problem with a Mail Merge Document I have created whereby when I complete the merge it throws out the error the Word could not open the data source.

However, this problem only seems to occur when the sheet is loaded with data to merge across. If the excel document is only half-full this does-not occur. There are no other variables and I have tested to high heaven.

You can tell it is about to fail because when successful it opens the Workbook and leaves it open in the background, if it is going to fail it opens it but then closes and asks you if want to save any changes even though none have been made?

I am using DDE because all other MS Excel Merge methods limit the volume of characters that can be merged per field and also the number of fields that can be merged and I have 162 merge fields.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem. It is not a Computer issue because the same issue occurs across multiple machines.

We are using Office 365 for business.

Thanks

Blurry Images from Word to .pdf

Posted: 07 Jan 2015 03:48 PM PST

I am using Word 2013. I have been reading the responses to this issue in earlier versions, and am hoping for some updated information.

I am required to create the document using Word, and also to output to .pdf using the "save as PDF"  feature (the "print to PDF" feature, which offers resolution options, does not maintain live hyperlinks.)  I have checked the "Do not compress images in file" in the Advanced Options area, as indicated in previous responses. 

However, one response referred to some settings in the "Save as PDF" dialog box that I do not find. The only options available refer to document info and bookmarks.

I need to use a small, crisp lined, logo (less than 1/2") in the header of a long document. It looks GREAT in Word, but terrible in PDF.

Any help for me before I tear ALL of my hair out?

Thanks for any and all :)

Version order

Posted: 19 Apr 2008 09:35 AM PDT

And actually, in later releases of Office 2000, activation actually occurred.
I bought an early version which didn't require activation, but when I got to
a different job several years later, they had individual licenses and each
had to be activated.

Hi Bob

Can you tell me if the disk should be smooth all the way across? I can feel
a distinct ridge a few mm in from the edge just about where the coppery
colour starts and do not know if this is as it should be.

Thanks

That's why most systems use default ext3. Because ext* is fairly simple, *and*
because maintaining multiple types of filesystems if itself fragile. Simply
using ext3 and possibly ext2 allows the use of partition labeling, which is a
real savior when your disks get re-arranged due to SCSI controller changes.

I can't help but wonder why you didn't use the X-No-Archive: yes header.
That's what most people do when they don't their articles archived.

Not that it would do you any good if someone like me who despises selfish

The case of the vanishing password

Posted: 09 Oct 2008 07:51 PM PDT

Matt Giwer wrote: 

Slow down, and isolate the problem as being password related rather than a
Gnome issue. Can you log into a plain, *text* login, by hitting 'Ctrl-Alt-F2'
and logging in at the text screen. gdm and other window managers can become
quite confused by uid changes (if you have a local account that has a uid that
conflicts with NIS or LDAP published information), hostname changes (as part
of network configuration after the machine boots), and other fascinating issues.

Also, if you're using a normally configured Kerberos or Winbind, your password
will be locked for a while if you type it in wrong a few times. Wait about 15
minutes in most setups, and you should be able to log in again.

Configuring DHCP to provide kernel and initrd for netboot

Yes!! It works like a dream. PXE clients boot into the latest Lenny
installer, and DHCP clients still get an IP address.

Now I just need to set up DNS updating ... and find a solution for older
(non-PXE) netboot clients ...

Ho hum. Nice when a place comes together.

Raid 5

RAID5 only saves a disk if you don't have a hotswap disk. I've had unfortunate

CentOS, and RHEL 5, in my observation, always lag Fedora by at least 12 months

leads to dependency hell.

Problems with Fedora Core 9 ???

Sorry guys that said Fedora isn't stable, I don't agree with you, This
seems strange to me, I work with fedora since the first day they
released it almost without any problems. As a user at home and as a
system admin. It's really nice and doing very good job to me and to my
friends and company. Iam talking from Fedora 9 at my pc at work and I
havn't went to ant problems from the day I installed it, Also at home
Fedora 8 still installed and very nice. 1 of my servers is Fedora 5 64
bit and working fine from more than 2 years and it service a network
for a company which has 200 pc as clients for that machine. Also I
configured a Qmail server for a company on Fedora 9 from some months,
It works fine without any complains.
But I see ubuntu isn't good for servers as some of my friends really
faced many problems using it, I see it's not stable as Debian or
Fedora of course, But it's an easy distro to play with, So I advice
any new user to Linux meet me or ask to use it.

That file MAY have been part of the kernel, or pcmcia support package:

287679 Sep 7 16:30 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-10.i386.rpm

that's the 7 year old "out-of-box" packages

kernel-2.4.20-30.7.legacy.i386.rpm 21-Feb-2004 03:07 12M

but I don't see a kernel-pcmcia-cs package on the errata list. Ahh,
run the command ' rpm -qf /path/to/tulip_cb.o ' and that will tell
you which package the missing file came from. If you have that package
and 'midnight commander'

903764 Sep 7 16:49 gmc-4.5.51-36.i386.rpm
1507098 Sep 7 16:49 mc-4.5.51-36.i386.rpm

gmc 4.5.51 The GNOME version of the Midnight Commander file manager.
mc 4.5.51 A user-friendly file manager and visual shell.

you can use that utility to extract the file from the appropriate rpm.

Good Luck!

Ethernet card identification

Not enough details - what do you see in /var/log/messages at boot time
related to eth0? Is the card recognized? What _kind_ of card is this?
What driver has been selected?
 

That only means that the kernel network stack is operating, and that
'ping' is usable. It has nothing to do with the network _card_ because
the address is 'localhost' and when you are trying to talk to yourself
there is no need to even have a ethernet, token-ring, fddi, or ppp
interface.
 

1. /var/log/messages Is it seen? Is the "right" driver used? Any
error messages?

2. /sbin/ifconfig -a Is the interface shown? Can you see something
that looks realistic as a "HWaddr"? Packet counts for TX and RX -
are any shown? Any error counts above zero?

3. Do you have any firewall settings? (This really shouldn't be the
problem, but it's something to check.
 

Does the card accept this mode of operation?

yum update problem - avahi-0.6.17-1.fc7

Posted: 29 Sep 2008 10:35 PM PDT

Works for me too. Highly recommended if you're having a similar
problem, my avahi-autoipd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386 was conflicting with
avahi-0.6.16-4.fc6.i386

I performed the following steps (as root)
rpm -U --replacepkgs avahi-autoipd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386
This complained about the old fc6 package, so I did
rpm -e --noscripts avahi-0.6.16-4.fc6.i386
Then did the first command again:
rpm -U --replacepkgs avahi-autoipd-0.6.22-10.fc9.i386
which worked without error.
I then did:
yum update
worked fine, with no complaints.
