Office 2007 Install Crashes

Posted: 18 Feb 2009 08:04 AM PST

Hi and thanks for the response.

I had already tried that as I stated in my original post. Tomorrow morning
I have an appointment with a Microsoft Office Deployment Engineer and he is
going to help figure out the problem with this. If we get the answer I willl
post it here.

Office 2007 Installation Point

Posted: 18 Feb 2009 06:29 AM PST

Hi Tony,

For Office 2007, the "Office Admin Installation Point" (oAIP) has been
replaced with the "Office Network Installation Point (oNIP)". To create an
oNIP you copy one or more Office 2007 Product CDs to the location of
choice. Unlike the prior editions you can combine products into a single
location and you no longer need to run Setup to create the point from the
CD.

The Office 2007 Resource Kit (http://microsoft.com/office/ork) includes
downloadable 'books' for different aspects of the customization process.
There was a significant amount of content that came out from Microsoft after
the initial product release that is on the Technet site that link takes you
to. I haven't checked the books available recently to see if they've
included the later data examples with exercises/tips.

Office 2007 also replaced the Custom Installation and Maintenance Wizard
utilities from prior versions with a built in Office Customization Tool
(OCT) and uses MS Installer patch files (MSP) in place of the previous
versions Transform (MST) and Maintenance (CMW) customization files.

Hi All,

Can anyone point me to a good book that covers how to create an
administrative installation point for deploying Office 2007? Just finished
one for Office 2003 using the Office 2003 Resource Kit from Microsoft, but
found out after purchasing the book that it's nothing more than a
regurgitation of what's on the Office Resource Kit web site. I'd like to
get my hands on something that addresses installation point
setup/configuration more explicitly, if possible.

Thanks >>

How to install HP-7400 document scanner in M/S Office 2003?

Posted: 14 Feb 2009 12:59 PM PST

Mary and DL,

This is my first post to this forum, and I may be doing this response the
wrong way, but:

Thank you both for your responses.

Both responses triggered a thought in my mind - ie that this printer is
installed on another computer on our network and it is installed on my
computer as a network printer and I can print to it, but I have not installed
the scanner printer driver for this printer on my computer!

I will try that and hopefully the driver will the show up in the Scaner
Driver selection box.

Thank you both for your help.

Best wishes,

Dave

Man, you really are an total freakin' idiot, aren't you? Too damned stupid
to realize that the poor OP can't find his own message(s)? Even I wasn't
ready for that much stupidity from you.

Why don't you take up the task of locating the OP and instructing him on how
to find his own posts? Not that I think you have the slightest idea how to
do that. I just want you to go away and save others from your worthless,
almost certainly harmful BS. Haven't seen a useful answer from you yet.

Actually no, that is not necessary. By default, the installation process
first removes the previous versions of the product but leaves the settings
intact.

Should you have to remove previous versions? I've never done that and have
had full version of 97, then upgrades for 2000 and 2003.

I am getting a new PC so am putting the upgrade project on hold for a while.

Office products "not responding" upon start up

Posted: 12 Feb 2009 11:21 AM PST

Not neccessarily drivers that are loading, but applications that auto start.
If you start msconfig, then disable all startup items, then reboot,
excepting the msconfig msg then retest Office
If ok its a question of re enabling a batch of auto start itmens & retesting
until you find the culprit.

You might first want to try uninstalling any anti virus application, reboot,
then testing, if OK reinstall the AV without any Outlook or Office
intergration

Office 2007 Std Group Policy Deployment Failing

Posted: 10 Feb 2009 03:39 PM PST

Yes, you still need the Config.xml and with Office 2007 you are best advised
to deploy startup scripts - because of its more modular MSI architecture.
Please see the following:

Use Group Policy Software Installation to deploy the 2007 Office system
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179214.aspx

That seems to have done it, followed by a reinstall, thanx.

I absolutely have no words to express the hatred I feel toward MS for Vista
and all the associated UAC and Privileges hassles. It's my own system in my
home used by nobody but me, and I resent the hell out of being told I don't
have permission to do something as simple as install or uninstall a program,
or sometimes even to delete a file.

I've used every version of Windows ever released, and DOS before that from
it's first release, and Vista has given me more headaches than all the past
OS's combined.

Thanx for the help and advice,

Make Office 2003 default open with 2007

Posted: 08 Feb 2009 08:27 PM PST

Try this;

You should specify the default version of each application by
registering it using 'Start | Run'. If you don't register the
application then the last version installed becomes the default.

(Enter the full file path and name of the program, note that
/regserver is outside the quote marks.)
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe" /regserver
The above will register Excel 2003 as the default on most systems -
change the file path / file name as appropriate.

The above was taken from an MS doc. - origonally pertaining to earlier
versions of Office, I'm assuming it is relevent to later versions

Hi andyjordan,

Yes, the MVP.ORG site is very useful. FAQ #16 on the site gives some
options for either using the copy picture button to create a picture that you
can paste into Word or PowerPoint. You may also as noted in the FAQ save a
project as a web page. The FAQ also gives a link to exporting data to Excel
as well as mentioning saving files as PDF.

Do any of those options work for you?

Are you sure? I didn't think older versions of Project could save to new
versions especially as I though 2003 re-arranged some tables.

If you create a new DSN for a new database, can Project 2003 create the
tables again and allow you to read and write to it OK?

Best Practice Hours per Day?

Steve House [Project MVP] wrote: 

I agree with everything you say, Steve. Many years ago (more than 20),
when I started using scheduling software, I learned about productivity
and started factoring that in. But after a while, I reached the same
conclusions you described, and stopped doing it. I just included it in
the duration estimate. I do it for an entirely different reason now,
and I'm not sure I can explain it well.
It has for years mystified me that production systems are always
designed around the realities of downtime and the real world limits of
mechanical/electrical/hydraulic systems. When you build a copper
concentrator, if you want to process 100,000 T of ore a day, you build
a system with a peak capacity (everything available working) of say,
110,000 T. We know things break, even in the best designed systems.
There will be downtime. So just design for it. Strangely, in service
systems, there is rarely any attention payed to this same fact, that
people don't perform 100% all the time, and that, even if they did,
unpredictable factors occur that no one could foresee. To schedule the
overall system (of people, in this case) to be operating at 100% is
just as naive as to schedule the copper concentrator at 100%. So what
I'm applying in this situation is not the individual's inefficiency,
but the system's inefficiency. The two are different. One could argue
that they both should be accounted for in the original estimate of
time, just as the individual's is. But it doesn't work out the same,
and I'm not sure why. I'd be happy is someone else jumped in and
rescued me on this one. I do know that I get better results this way,
so it's an empirical thing. I'm not a university professor, like
Goldratt, who needs everything to have a theoretical explanation to
implement a technique. If I find it works for my clients, I go with it,
and try and figure out why it works later.
So now I'm trying to figure out why the system inefficiency needs to be
accounted for this way and the individual inefficiency is in the
duration estimate. Anyone have any ideas?

How to stop Baseline date changing to match Actual date entry?

Posted: 09 Mar 2006 10:11 AM PST

Hover your mouse over the column heading: I suspect you have a column named
Baseline Finish but in reality it's a different column altogether and not
the real Baseline Finish column

What are the names of the columns you want to stop changing dates for? You
must hover your mouse over their column titles to see the real column name.

Simultaneous access to a project in the Enterprise (SQL) version

I think you would miss the multi resource reporting by single indiviual the most.
I only have a vague concept of a chemical plant "turnaround" but I can imagine
I'd want to capture the "at hand" daily best estimates of those who have routinely
been at the dance. Other packages offer the ability to multiproject/reschedule, but
many still need exclsive use of the data or Objects when doing the calculations.


There are two work arounds though,
1.) create the resource accounts under Project Server authentication (NOT windows domain) and have your reporting individual
login/logout multiple times.
(This is actually cheaper too because PWA CALS are per user (Volume licence agreement definition of a user) not per resource or
resource account.)
2.) use resource management projects that have NO logical task linking, only order (sequence tasks) along runs of singular unique
resources.

to expand on number 2.)
The idea is to build Control Plans with no resources only resource reporting directives (codes etc to use as filters to get the
tasks to the right people).
The resource managers then utilize their Projects as control panels only for the resources they are responsible for.

Control Plan A
-Task1
|--Task2
|---Task3
|
| Control Plan B
| -Task1
| --Task2
| ---Task3
|
|Resource Control Panel Project
|-Control Plan S Task100 resource JOE
|--Control Plan T Task5 resource JOE
|---Control Plan A Task2 resource JOE

Control Plan A/Task2
is constrained by an interproject link to
Resource Control Panel Project/Control Plan T Task2

"Control Plan A/Task2" can't start until JOE finishes "Resource Control Panel Project/Control Plan A Task 2"

The constraints on Control Plan A's tasks (external links) turn out to be the resources that are most loaded and causing the most
delay
Once you get a few control points in a few control plans it becomes pretty obvious where to spend your energies to make gains by
identifying
the present and future bottlenecks.

The Resource Control Panel Projects are also a way to collect data in non overwhelming batches from
large resource sets that report frequently.

Really it's just a smoke and mirrors trick to abstract the reporting sets to a size that has some value
when dealing with finite resources and impart simple discipline to the whole system.
It makes very frequent distributed status updates manageable.
It also keeps hero's in check because the impact of confiscating resources
even for brief time spans can be seen before a weeks worth of damage is done
even without a sophisticated optimization. (More like the farmer is out in the back forty. If you
want to tell him to go do something else then get on your hourse ride out there and tell him yourself.
That is a great dose of common sense and flow maintainer when it comes to multi-project contentions.)

A control point showing a dramatic delay in the critical path is an opportunity for gains,
if it had remained hidden, confusing, blurred or most commonly; lied about. It costs money.

MS Project New Installation

Posted: 08 Mar 2006 12:44 PM PST

Thanks, Rick...
Trying to put a rough budget together for an MSProject Pilot program.
I've configured servers & set up Web Access, but the server was up &
running. The guy before me couldn't get it to work. I got it to work, but the
developers wouldn't use it. No AD or outlook...what a fiasco.
So it's a couple of days for the installation, a month to configure access
rights, groups, & reports.
Ball park on software & hardware...basic stuff. $5,000, $10,000?
ciao

Additionally you can install the Exchange IMF.
I'm not sure it can block domains, but you could throw some RBL's in it and
that might help.

Aside from 3rd party tools and a lot of risk, you won't be abke to resize

The databases, the transaction logs, the smtp virtual directory, redirect
the temp directory, the message tracking logs, etc.

Exchange 2003 and VSS as a backup solution

Posted: 10 Feb 2009 08:58 AM PST

Currently we use NTBACKUP. However the company is expanding rapidly as is
it's email data. So they were looking for a solution to create quick backups
and be able to make a copy to our DR site.

Thank you for the advice. When I was looking into it I didn't think it would
be a case of writing a few scripts and it all worked.

How to avoid importing templates when copying text from other documents?

Posted: 28 Mar 2015 08:44 AM PDT

Hello,

I have tried to consolidate all my texts for my thesis into one word document. The destination document uses a predefined set of templates (see https://archive.today/AEEag ). When I started to copy happily from different source documents into the destination document, I apparently have copied all the different templates as well. The destination document is now a mess with many random templates. What can I do to rectify this situation?

I think the following action might help but I don't know how to perform them.

I there a way to re-apply the DOTX Format Word Template to the document and override the templates within it?

Is there a way to avoid unwillingly copying source templates into the destination document?

Thanks for your help.

Line numbers for code in MS Word

Posted: 27 Mar 2015 11:45 PM PDT

Good evening folks,

I am in need of some support, regarding a bunch of codes I have to document in MS Word. As I see screen caps as a last result, I tried some of the solutions on stack overflow. After opening my code in Notepad++, I copied it to clipboard as RTF and pasted it into a text box. For some reason, the background became all yellow, so I removed that. Then I tried to add some line numbers, removed the dots and changed the font and size to match the code. It looked really nice, until I tried some code with indentation. Well, as you can see, it didn't work out too well. Is there anything I can do, besides replacing the tabulator with some spaces? And in that case, how many?

Answers are appreciated!

As you can clearly see, I failed at line three.

Office 2013 - Themes with color?

Posted: 27 Mar 2015 08:23 PM PDT

Hello, 

I recently upgraded to Office 2013.  To my horror, there are only three window theme colours: white, grey, and dark grey. 

You would have heard this complaint before.  It appears there have been thousands of complaints about this.

Yet, the only response from Microsoft seems to have been to introduce dark grey as an option. 

That addition does not change the intolerable, nauseating monotony of using the Office suite.

The Office 2010 light blue ribbon was, by comparison, so much more pleasant on the eyes.  I now find myself looking for work-arounds to try to return to an old version.  This is patently ridiculous, since all Microsoft needs to do is introduce a customisable color palette. 

So, my question is: after over 2 years of complaints from users after the initial release of Office 2013 in January 2013, are there any plans to add new colors or a customisable color palette for Office 2013?   If not, why not? 

Sadly, I expect a standardised reply will come from the support staff to this post - "We understand your concerns and we try to develop our products with users in mind, etc."  Well, I'm posting this anyway.  How Microsoft can continue to ignore the requests of its users is beyond me.  The fact that Office 2015 is being worked on is no excuse for neglecting its users.  For such a gigantic business it is totally unacceptable.
