Partner Serial Number Issues

Hi Vipergirl,

Are these regular licenses or ones from the Partner Action Pack. If the Action Pack you may want to contact the Partner support
folks
http://partner.microsoft.com
on their policy on 'reusing' Action Pack activations.

We are a Microsoft Solutions Partner and have had a situation with several of
our sales reps. These reps are no longer with our company so we uninstalled
Office 2007 from their systems. We have a total of 10 licenses, 4 of which
were uninstalled from their system. Now we have 2 new sales reps that are
unable to install Office 2007 because it says that all the activations have
been used. Is there a way to get the 4 that we uninstalled back for use?

I spoke with someone on the phone who said, "Sure, just re-install the
software" but that didnt work. >>

Removing bad Office 2007 and Installing trail

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 07:33 AM PDT

If you installed one version of Office you should use the add remove
dialogue to uninstall that version, then clean up temp files (Disk Cleanup)
re boot your PC prior to installing another version of Office

The installation key you may have will only work on the version it was
supplied for.
Does download mean install from Disk or Internet download? and if internet
download did you save the download file?
Do you have any version of Office on cd/dvd, if so what versions?

Here's the formula:

Computers need licensed drivers (softwares)
Licensed drivers can drive more than two owned cars

SP3 problems

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 10:32 AM PDT

As Carey says -

There is no SP3 for Office 2007. There IS an SP3 for Office 2003, and there
is an SP1 for Office 2007. There is also an SP3 for Windows XP, and an SP1
for Windows Vista. So, which SP did you actually apply?

You may want to uninstall and reinstall your Office, just to ensure you have
the right stuff there.

yes the db was mounted. found out the smtp protocal stopped. so I restarted

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Since the most possible cause has been eliminated. I suggest you consider
the following situation:

1. Check if all the emails the user send out show up as " com
"? and everyone else see the same thing from their Outlook client?

This issue may occur if a faker use that user's name as sender to pretend
sending email to others. Therefore, people will see " com "
instead of AD display name because this email is not actually sent from the
genuine user. This situation may occur when sender use SMTP command to
telnet your SMTP server's 25 port and send email with fake sender address.
To test it, let the user send out email to everyone using Outlook with his
own profile and see if issue persists.

Telnet to Port 25 to Test SMTP Communication
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/153119/en-us>

2. If the issue persists, please send me a test from that user if possible,
my email address is com

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

Local/Server Size difference

Posted: 28 Jun 2008 05:34 PM PDT

Sorry for not including more details.

I have one FE and one BE server, each running Exchange 2003SP2.

All clients are running Outlook 2003 in cached mode with the exception of a
few network administrators (self included) running Outlook 2007.

I first saw this problem on my mailbox. I solved it by moving all my mail
into a PST and then moving it all back. I am now seeing it on several
users- a more than 200mb deltak between their local and their server mailbox
size. Each folder has a delta, and the larger the folder, the larger the
delta.

I tried using PFDAVADMIN but I got an error that the connection timed out
when I tried to view objects under "inbox".

Also, do you know what causes this? It hasn't been a problem (at least
visibly) for the last few years and nothing has really changed in terms of
antivirus, server role, etc.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Windows Mobile email issue

John,

I have checked the IIS logging file and did some testing. The following are
the testing that I did:

1. Receving a normal email.

2. Receiving a VM notification email.

After receiving both of the above, I looked at the IIS log and compared the
two logs. The two logs are identical, except for the fact that the VM
notification email log has a few extra lines at the beginning of the log,
which is the following:

As I have mentioned previously, I used Treo 650 (with Good Mobile Messaging)
and did not have this problem, but I have not tried using ActiveSync with
any other device. The provider does not think that it is a problem on their
end, and I am also not sure if it is or not at this point.

Help with Word 2007 Recovery from Cryptowall 2.0

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:52 AM PST

A few months back, my computer was infected with Cryptowall 2.0 a ransomware virus that makes an encrypted copy of certain files, deletes the original files and then demands a ransom to unlock the encryption.  I was able to remove the virus without paying the ransom, but not before the damage was done to all of my documents.  Luckily, the computer was relatively new and I didn't lose a lot, but I have a lingering problem with Word 2007, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

I can create and open documents just fine.  I can edit a header or footer by hovering over the header or footer, right-clicking and selecting "Edit Header" or "Edit Footer"  However, if I go through the menu: INSERT >> HEADER (or FOOTER) I get the popup decrypt instructions left over from the cryptowall attack, which gives instructions on how to pay the ransom.  I get the same popup if I select INSERT >> TEXT BOX (or QUICK PARTS)

When

When this appears, I can click OK or Cancel or click the X and it gives me popups for a couple of gyrations.

During the first gyration, when I click OK there is an error message that Word cannot open this document template. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.TXT

When I click OK on that message, I get another popup:

If I click OK I get a message that: The add-in template is not valid. C:\Users\...\DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.URL

If I click OK on this one I finally get the menu item I selected and am able to proceed.  From that point on, I can use any of the menu items as I normally would, and I can create new documents and I'm able to use the menu normally.  So, it's a problem that repeats only when I close and reopen Word.

I haven't noticed any problem with other sections of the menu, although I haven't tested every function.

I've tried uninstalling Word 2007 completely and reinstalling from an uncorrupted source, but it didn't help.  

One of the aftereffects of this attack is that my computer had numerous instances of the text file and URL files referenced above, in all sorts of directories.  I have removed them, but the Word problem still persists

Any suggestions of what I might try next?  Thank you for your help!

Word for iPad and Apple QuickType?

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:00 AM PST

I created a new Word document on my iPad and typed in a few paragraphs.  The document autosaved to OneDrive.

Later, I opened the document in Word 2013 on my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro 3.  A few words were missing in the middle of sentences.  Here's an example...

Should be: "I am here because I am going to the gym."

Word document has: "I am here because   going   ."

I think it's because I added the missing words with QuickType.  (That's the keyboard accelerator in iOS8 that predicts what word you want next.)  I went back to my iPad, and it re-downloaded the file from OneDrive, and the words were now missing on iPad.  I am confident they were there in the original version.  These were also not the last words I entered, so I doubt it's just a failure to save the last few edits.

I'm using Word 1.5.2 for iPad, posted Jan 21, 2015.  I tested this again with a new, second document, and a similar problem occurred.

This seems like a bug, but I'm wondering if I just have something misconfigured somewhere, or if something is wrong with my iPad.  Anybody else seeing this?

How to keep formatting when pasting between 2 Word 2007 documents

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:30 AM PST

I do a lot of copy and pasting between documents in Word 2007.  I need the pasted dialogue to use the Styles of the document I'm pasting into.  Is there any way to set my options so that pasting will always use the Use Destination Styles instead of Keep Source Formatting?

As you can see I do have my Word Options set to Keep Source Formatting (Default).

However, unless I use the copy formatting button pasted selections always show up with no formatting.  Does anyone know how I can make pasting always use Destination Styles without having to go through using that little button every time?

Desktop Backgrounds - Adapting Square Pics to Rectangular

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 09:02 AM PST

Office 2010 - Windows-7 x64

********

We have pictures of grandchildren we want to add to the Desktop Background. Horizontal Pixels 540 - Vertical Pixels 596.

This is a problem as the monitor is rectangular, monitor size 1920 x 1080.

A way around this would be to centre the picture and add wide, white colored margins to both sides of the picture.

This does not appear possible in either Paint or Microsoft Office 2010. Short of printing the picture and photographing it on a larger white background, then cropping. All of which is both tedious and will lose picture resolution.

Any ideas?

In Word 2013 (as well as all versions before it), one can set the spacing before or after a paragraph as Auto.

What does Auto do? How much spacing is used? Does the spacing depend upon the font size? Does it depend upon the corresponding settings for the previous or the following paragraph?

What is the exact definition?

Thanks,

Content Controls, Another flaw exposed and general rantings

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 08:13 AM PST

Despite long unresolved general shortcomings (due INHO to shortsightedness on MS behalf), I remain a staunch advocate of Content Controls.  Today, and I'm surprised not much sooner, I was made aware of a serious flaw with Repeating Section content controls introduced in Word 2013.   As the following post/reply in the Word Answer forum illustrates, the association with Repeating Section CCs and restricted or protected forms appears to be broken:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-customize/repeating-section-content-controls-and-restrict/66760ab6-7b92-4791-a316-ecd4cb52f89d

It seems reasonable that a fully functional Repeating Section content control should be easily associated with a restricted form.

Assume, I create a two column table and put fixed text in column one e.g., "Dependent's Name:"  and a plain text content control in column two e.g., "Click here to enter."  I then wrap the table in a repeating section content control.  Then make the RS CC a editable region, then restrict editing.  Ideally, the user should be able to add new section and fill in the content controls in each section, but the fixed text should be locked and not editable by the user.

It simply doesn't work that way.  In fact, it doesn't work at all unless one takes the pains to replicate the convoluted process explained in the post above.  That process, while working,  the CC "content control cannot be edited" property is not under the umbrella of any password the document designer might apply to the editing restriction therefore exposing the form to potential tampering by the user.

If Microsoft has an ear, let them hear.  You've been tinkering with CCs for going on 10 years, but still you've left them half baked.  Here are some things I would like to see fixed.  Others reading, please add to the list:

1.  You've given us an OnEntry and OnExit event.  Now give us a change event.  If a novice VBA dabbler like myself can cobble together a custom change event, then surely your pool of wizards and improve it:  http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_control_custom_events.html

2.  You've given us a pseudo change event when working with Dropdown List or Combo Boxes and a CustomXMLPart (ContentControlBeforeContentUpdate), but you don't let us have access to the document object while in the event.  For example, it would be nice if while the event is executed (e.g., changing a dropdown from "Yes" to "No" that we could show or hide text in a document, or jump to a new location, or change the cell shading of a table cell, etc.

3.  Fix the incomprehensively stupid behavior of CC placeholder text showing up in printed documents.  After all how do you "Click here to enter text" on a printed page.

4.  Fix the association of Repeating Section CCs and restricted forms.

Thanks.

Text wrap around image not working

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 03:39 AM PST

I have been using word for any years (2003, 2007, 2010) and currently use word in office 365.  I know how to wrap text around a photo or image and have never had a problem before.  Although I have encountered one now.  I cannot get the words in the text box to wrap around a photo or image.  I have tried tight, square, in line, both with the text box and the image.  I've tried bringing them forward and backward.  I'm googled the answer and still cannot get it work.  This is actually driving me crazy because I know how to do it but it's just not working. 

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

FLASHING

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 09:15 PM PST

Whenever I use office products, for example word, I get a bothersome flashing between the pointer and a busy circle.  Any time I do anything including moving the pointer, this happens.  It often gets frozen while it is "busy" and going back and forth between the pointer and a busy circle.  This actually happens most with Word but also with Excel

Niether in this post or your last did you mention which product the key is
for, and where you found this key you have tried.
Your E drive being full is maybe because it is a recovery partition, you
would need to read the HP details that came with your PC as to whether you
need to create recovery cd/dvd's

Volume Licensing question

You need to edit the file Setup.ini as follows:

[Options]
; The option section is used for specifying individual Installer Properties.
;USERNAME=Customer
;COMPANYNAME=my company
;INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\MyApp
PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY

The last item (PIDKEY) us where you enter your VLK and then you are
done. The file should be on your Office 2003 CD (\FILES\SETUP subfolder).


If you are installing Office 2003 from a network share then first copy
the entire CD on the network and then edit the file setup.ini. If you
are going to supply the CD to individuals, then you will need to copy
the entire CD somewhere on your system, edit the said file, then burn
the complete contents on CDs

Office 2007 and dictionary for Outlook Express 6

Posted: 18 Jun 2008 05:53 AM PDT

Hi T.,

The 'French only' speller occurs in MS Internet Explorer's email/news client, Outlook Express, which isn't a part of Office and
never had
its own spell check capability.

The English language proofing tools in Office 2007 are new and include some context spelling error capabilities, however the
Windows/Internet Explorer teams have chosen to not update (at least not yet <g>) Outlook Express to recognize the new Office 2007
English language Proofing Tools.
There are a number of 3rd party add-ins for Outlook Express that folks without Office have used and they should work in Outlook
Express as well.

Here are a couple that folks have reported work for them. The 2nd one has links to spellers for other than U.S. English (although
with some qualifications).

A. Vampirefo Spellchecker for Outlook Express:

B. Tinyspell: (has separate U.K. English module if needed)
http://tinyspell.m6.net

Hi there,

After install of Office 2007 to our group via SMS we notice Outlook Express
users no longer have an english dictionary... French is there, but no
english...

Is this by design or a bug??? Seems odd to take out English dictionary,
and leave the French one...

Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party spell checker for outlook Express, or
is there a fix for this from MS??

I guess we could tell everyone that all email correspondence now has to be
in French... ;o)

Cheers! >>

how do i get web access

Posted: 15 Jun 2008 09:14 PM PDT

Contact your telephone operator, more than likely they are also an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). Or even your cable TV supplier. I doubt that you are
going to get access for free unless you find an un-secured hot spot

You're going to find people who will disagree with Joseph and I. I'd suggest
leaving it installed and then see if you have any use for it. If not, you
can always uninstall it later.

Have a great weekend.
