Installing old Office 2003 over trial Office 2007 on new computer

You need to go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs (in XP) or Programs and
Features (in Vista) and uninstall the Office 2007 trial software (and also
any Office activation wizard that may be showing there) and reboot the
computer before attempting to install the Office 2003 software.

MS Office 2003 Student & Teacher normally allows installs on three
concurrent computers within the "same household." As long as you don't have
the software installed on three computers currently, you can install it on
the new computer in the same household.

Was this S & T a converted trial on the old laptop or did you purchase the
install disk in a Microsoft package that says you can install onto three
computers? If it was a converted trial and you got the disk directly from
Microsoft as a backup it is probably an OEM version and "legally" would not
be able to be installed onto your new computer, however if the packaging
says it can be installed on three, install away.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?SCID=kb;en-us;297834 for some
assistance to your issue.

The other way to accomplish the install is to copy the "whole CD" to the
hard drive of the mini-PC and install from there (if you have sufficient
drive space.)

I have installed from USB drives all versions of Office, from 4.3 up to and
including 2007, without an issue so I know it can be done.

Tried your tip - had to change the view properties to see the .exe - and

in the same folder. Some how the file is ted - I now have the exe
version and four modified versions. It seems bound and determined to to

Latest, I uninstalled the entire Office and reinstalled from the CD

What to expect with out-of-sync RAID devices?

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 02:18 PM PST

Nico Kadel-Garcia <com> writes:
 
 

I am using software RAID on two USB drives. I know that
re-syncing can take ages; but I am prepared for this. Yet I must
prevent that one drive gets written to and then the other one
gets also written to, so that concurrent versions emerge and none
of the two drives is the "old" one which can be safely
overwritten with a mirror of the "current" one.

In other words: At each point in time, both drives must have the
same content, or one of them must have only obsolete content.

Lets call the drives A and B. Assume that I remove drive B by
pulling the USB plug. Then I do "touch current-drive" to mark
the remaining drive. Then I shutdown the system, re-connect drive
B and boot again. In all my experiments, this lead to a degraded
array being assembled with partitions from drive A. So far this
is what I needed. I can then re-add the partitions from drive B
with something like "mdadm /dev/mdX -a /dev/sdXX".

However, I also did the following experiment: after pulling the
plug on B, writing the file "current-drive" to A and finally
shutting down, I booted with only B connected. The system got up
and did its fsck (as expected, since the filesystems on B were
not cleanly unmounted before). I then shut the system down,
re-connected drive A and booted again.

In some cases, drive A was used to build the degraded array, and
in some cases drive B was used. I did not detect a pattern here.
This is not very convincing. One must keep in mind that this
series of events may also occur unprovoked: just think of an
unreliable USB hub.

You wrote that the "disconnected" drive would be marked as out of
sync at boot time. I presume this looks like this:

md: kicking non-fresh sda1 from array!

But by what criteria is a drive being categorized as "non-fresh"?

I found that Mesa 7.2 or newer is required for 3D, or at least a few specific
3D operations. Otherwise, fine.

My Radeon X300 needs to have Mesa configured with low-impact fallbacks
switched off (enable the "disable…" option using driconf); if you don't do
this, anti-aliased line drawing is enabled and that's *slow* (done using
software rendering, I shouldn't wonder).

If you're using KMS on Intel hw and you're using 2.6.32, boot with

For that I agree. Leave the cover ON! If you leave it off convection is just

But he is asking after only one machine and not in a rack. Such a machine is
in a bad environment and has to make the best of being heated from above and

Let me try some generalities here. ANY surface roughness s! Even the
bottom side of an MB is going to create turbulent flow and most of the heat is
on the other side. On the other side the components are much higher and cause
more turbulence and there is NOTHING you can do about it. The only better
cooling than native convection is going to be a 10 inch fan (Sears or

Multi-level numbered list keeps changing to improper sequence every time I close and then open the file.

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 08:53 AM PDT

I set up a multi-level numbered list for a process template where the numbering is in process blocks.  The template seems to work great - nothing ever happens to the number sequence when I close and re-open the file.  However, I created a couple documents with the template, and there is one spot where the numbering switches - the block that was 2.0 becomes 3.0 and vice-verse - every time I close and then re-open the file.  It is in the same spot every time, no where else in the document behaves this way even though I have numbered steps to 12.

I have tried switching the blocks and redoing the text.  I have tried deleting the blocks and recreating them. Nothing seems to work. As soon as I close the document and reopen it, 3.0 comes before 2.0.   

I have worked with numbering in Word quite a bit, although the multilevel list in 2013 is somewhat new to me.  So I am not a newbie to numbering, but this has me baffled.  I have never encountered a problem like this - especially where the numbering only gets screwed up when the file is closed and reopened.  Can someone help me?  Thanks!

I am attaching an image of the 4 block template that stays perfectly numbered, and an excerpt of the two docs that keep getting the 2 and 3 sequence reversed.  Those documents did have 2.0 and 3.0 in the right sequence - until I closed an opened them.

Another try at an old wound

Posted: 17 Mar 2015 12:31 AM PDT

I have previously asked for help with the tiny, invisible mouse cursor in Word 2010 documents. I got answers for the INSERTION POINT which were helpful, but the invisible cursor (for those who are picky in their word choices I mean the tiny line with which one SETS the insertion point, or SELECTS text and so on -- whatever the "experts" like to call it.) This item remains barely visible, fractions of a millimeter thick and maybe three millimeters tall in all sizes of text, as big as 500% zoomed, for example. It is so small that most of the time it is impossible to see even if moved around unless one presses the left mouse and causes text to be selected thus allowing one to see the tiny line. In a program that I have always hated like poison, this is one of the most senseless and  frustrating features. I have tried Google and other searches for help, but apparently no one has bothered to write about this.

If anyone has encountered this problem and importantly has a solution (perhaps hidden in one of those endless and useless and idiotic ribbon tabs with their incomprehensible symbols and microscopic "magic dots" one can rearely spot), please have the kindness to share it. I am running out of Windows XP computers which ran a version of Word one could understand and control. No more. All I want is to write text, nothing fancy, no frills, no "features," thank you very much, Microsoft. But I would appreciate seeing the thing I insist on calling the "cursor."

Thanks to any good Samaritan out there!

Redownloaded WORD 2013 but still can't open document

Running word macro's in a Terminal Server session.

Posted: 16 Mar 2015 08:41 PM PDT

I have multiple word documents that employees use. Within this document is a macro that is used to ask questions and then replace sections within the document with information entered with the macro.

Problem is that when used in a Terminal Session (Server 2008 R2) it only updates the first page and a small section of the second page.

When the document is used on a PC (Win 7) it runs fine and all the information supplied to the macro, is entered where it should be all the way through the document.

I've searched the net high and low yet I cannot find any information relating to this.

Any help would be great.

Using the "Share" feature in Microsoft Office

Posted: 16 Mar 2015 06:28 PM PDT

I have been redirected for the FOURTH time, (without an answer), to ask the question here.

Well, here it is. When using Office 2013, "sharing" a file attachment using Word, Excel, and Power Point, I go to File>Share>Email>send attachment. The attachment goes through fine in all cases. What does not go through, is any text that I add in the body of the email. It has gone through twice properly in Excel, once properly in Power Point, but never in Word. I have been trying this now for two weeks. I have looked online for a similar problem. I have three email accounts associated with Outlook 2013., and this problem occurs when using all three accounts in the "from" field. I discovered this problem while attending a Microsoft Office 2013 class. I have tried a Word docx, an Excel xlsx, and a Power Point pptx file. In all cases, at best it seems random that they receive the composed email sent with the attachment. The attachment always goes fine. As I look at Outlook, on the left side, the emails that do not send properly always are in my "Outlook Data File" area, and not in the "sent" area of my emails. The emails that did go through with the text as well, are always in the "sent" file of the email address that I sent it from. It is perplexing to the instructor here and the IT person here. I will say, that if I send any attachment and composed email through any of my email accounts, it works fine. This is just happening when I use the "share" feature in Word, Excel, or Power Point. Are there any known issues on this, and can you help me make this work properly? Thank you for your time Drew Schroller

Finally fixed word docs made with templates from crashing.

I read a few articles on here where people were having luck fixing issues with docs made from templates by disabling adins.  That wasn't working for me.  I kept having issues where the files I made from templates would get stuck loading and eventually crash.

Anyway, I seem to have fixed the issue by starting Word as administrator.  So give that a shot if you run into this issue.  

how to clear formatting -- specifically to remove page numbers

Posted: 16 Mar 2015 03:50 PM PDT

I've been working on a long document, compiled from a number of shorter documents.

Somewhere along the line, a page numbering command got inserted --

but I can't find where, and I can't figure out how to delete this command.

Page numbering mysteriously begins on page 50.

In previous versions of Word, it was possible to view all the formatting on a page clearly, with one click.

It was also possible to highlight any section and "clear formatting," again with one click.

Now there seems to be a zillion more options, and maybe these are still in there, but I can't find them.

Anybody?

gantt: How to put activities in a row?

Posted: 28 Feb 2006 01:22 AM PST

Another option could be to highlight the finish date for task 1 then use
paste special to paste a link into the start date for task 2 then repeat for
other tasks.

Hope this helps

RBS is normally for hierarchical location or management. Use the Resource
Outline codes for skills. Outline codes 21-28 are multi-select capable.

Compatability with other schedule programs

Posted: 27 Feb 2006 02:49 PM PST

Hi MontereyVic,

I can't answer to FastTrack 4's export abilities, but Project can read CVS
files, Text files, MPX files, MDB files, as well as Excel files. I guess
part of the answer would be to determine what export capabilities FastTrack
4 has.

I hope this helps. You may wish to download a trial version of MS Project
and experiment before purchasing. The details on Project Standard 2003
Trial can be found at:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/project/prodinfo/trial.mspx

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

You can also split the task at various points. Use Edit - split taks or the
icon to the left of the unlink tasks icon.

Hi pnanmared1951,

You have posted your question to a newsgroup specifically for Microsoft
Project, a project scheduling software. You may have better luck posting to
a newsgroup like the Image Composer newsgroup.

Is there a way to show progress in a Summary task bar?

Posted: 27 Feb 2006 01:51 PM PST

Hi Cybert,

I don't know whether this will fix it, but have you tried
Tools/Tracking/Update project... and select to reschedule from the status
date?

Thanks Julie, once again!!! And thanks to the others who answered my
question yesterday!!!!!

Now another question relating to the rest of them. This may be getting a
little advanced for me, but what the heck!!! Can I create a column called
"Phase" and make it a drop down list where I can select the appropriate
phase? If this can be done so that I am not having to type in each phase
everytime, can the formula in the first column that I created be edited so
that it has a response to each different phase? I know that this is pushing
the limits of my brain, but is it pushing the limits of project?

Thanks again everyone for your help!!!!!

Ray,

Julie is correct. Here's another idea you may want to try.

Copy the summary task name to a project text field,
Fill down the text column for every sub-task,
Format barstyles and add your chosen text field along with any others.

This may help reduce the number of bars on your calender.

Good Luck,

David

Project progress line not responding to progress ahead of schedul

Posted: 27 Feb 2006 04:28 AM PST

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the detailed response to my questions.

On the calculation tab, try enabling the option "Edits to total task %
complete will be spread to the status date"

Without that option enabled if all I do is supply % complete but do not
adjust remaining duration, I can reproduce the same issues you have.

Let us know how you get along.

Gantt Chart's calendar span

Posted: 26 Feb 2006 04:55 PM PST

You might try to set up 2 seperate views.
1st view would be a 4 Week Look-A-Head. Set a filter up as follows:
Prpject>Filter>More Filters>New - name the view and set up like this:
FIELD NAME TEST VALUES
Start is less than or equal to "And before:"?
% comp is less than 100

When you apply this filter it ask you how far out you want to look at your
project and if a task is 100% it will not show up. By typing a date 4 weeks
from today.....
Now you need to set up a new view: View>Moew views>and Copy (Gant View) The
only change is set the filter to the new one you made. Now apply this view
and Format>Timescale the way you want to see it.
You can format the timescale in the gant chart to months.
It's not really all that hard, give it a try!! Good Luck.

Hi Matt,

I was hoping either you, John O'Donnell, Matt Witteman, or Dave Carr would
respond to this. You guys are quite knowlegable with 1.2 and such.

Now I am afraid as well. There are over 1200 accounts in the
implementation, is their any way I can force these accounts (contacts,
opportunites, as well I guess) to get in there, even unsupported. I tried
re-assigning to different users, but that did not seem to assist the
situation. The client will not be pleased that you are afaid, which makes me
afraid.

Regards,
Keener

Exporting Activities

Posted: 21 Oct 2005 11:56 AM PDT

What you need to do is add the columns to the Advanced Find view for
activities that have the data that you're after, then export to Excel. The
utility to change the views for activities are undoented, but you can find
a list of them at

MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0

Posted: 21 Oct 2005 11:11 AM PDT

Sorry that I was not more specific. I have tried for two weeks to find the
reason for these errors. My ID is often listed in the error. I put this in
to CRM because it happen when we are in CRM and is posted on the CRM server.
I see 20 or so errors a min and since the " 0xC0000064 The specified user
does not exist" is not true I am bewildered by the number of the errors

Redeployment Errors

Posted: 21 Oct 2005 06:33 AM PDT

Are you installing in an environemnt with multiple domain controllers?
Errors like this can happen when the CRM Server & the SQL server are
authenticating to different DC's. The AD changes made by the install
haven't ted yet. If this is the case, try forcing an AD tion
as soon as the CRM isntall begins running the SQL scripts.

CRM 3.0 Information (.NET 1.1 or .NET 2.0)?

Posted: 20 Oct 2005 10:37 PM PDT

FYI, the "official" word that I have heard (of course, that is subject to
change) is that SQL 2005 will be supported with the RTM. Current timing
should have SQL 2005 out before CRM v3. If that changes, then the support
will probably change as well.

As for .Net framework, the app itself uses 1.1, the "supported" config for
the 2.0 framework will be to have it installed side-by-side with the 1.1
framework.

Hi Vincent!

As Aaron already said, the RTM will run on .NET 1.1 and SQL 2000. This
doesn't mean that you cannot use 2.0 for your own customizations. Despite
some problems with callouts (which should be solved until RTM) you can use
2.0 to implement your customizations without restrictions.

Multiple companies / hosted exchange environment

Our customers are all so small that they are simply running workgroups and
connect to us over the web for Exchange (HTTP-over-SSL, OWA), and WSS. They
don't have their own AD so all accounts are within our forest which is where
we'd want to hold CRM and open it up to the client through the web interface
(no Outlook integration).

I guess I'll just have to dig out virtual server and have a play!

Thanks.

Claire,
Things will get easier for you in CRM 3.0, when you can create
relationships between accounts (such as Reseller/Distributor). ISVs
offer that functionality on 1.2, but as 3.0 is so close, you're
probably better off waiting. HTH,
