Office 2004 license upgrade from single to three

Posted: 06 Sep 2008 11:44 AM PDT

If you are a student or teacher, you can purchase the Student & Teacher
Edition. Otherwise, it might be less expensive to buy the Office 2008 Home
& Student Edition, which includes three license keys. I don't think there
is an easy way to buy a small number of licenses at a discount per-unit
price.

You are correct run only scripts can't be opened, but they will work from

Office 2007 Home & Student fails to installupdate - Keeps saying Close Word

Posted: 05 Sep 2008 09:36 AM PDT

Hi Dave -

Take a look at Word> About Word to confirm the current version. If it's less
than 12.1.2 follow the link Diane pointed you to.

Although it isn't a bad idea to keep a record of the Product ID found in
that same dialog it doesn't have anything to do with installation or
updates. The Key on the disk envelope is what you need for installs & you
need nothing for updates. The Product ID is only needed if you ever contact
MS directly for support, disc replacement, etc.

Upgrading to Leopard, but saving Office 2008that's already on my disc?

Posted: 03 Sep 2008 01:18 PM PDT

Sorry, the drag method won't work ‹ if it did you'd wind up with only one
copy of Office getting dragged to every computer on [and off] campus :-)

This may be different for a volume license, but normally:

If you still have a record of your Product Key (what you paid the $20 for)
you should be able use any Office 2008 Full-Version installation disk...
Just enter your code when prompted. That won't work for an *upgrade*
version, however, unless you also have an older version installed or have
the disk for a full version of one.

Like I mentioned above, though, I don't know if volume licenses are keyed to
installation sources or not. If so you'll have to have Office reinstalled as
it was originally (and they'll probably charge you another $20 if you don't
have your original license key).

Microsoft CRM - how to customize pick list such as industry

Microsoft CRM - how to customize pick list such as industry


how to customize pick list such as industry

Posted: 09 Jul 2004 02:38 AM PDT

Thanks for the fast reply!

I know I have to map the attribute. My problem is that the id in the 2 lists
are not the same! Is it possible to have the same id in both lists and if
yes, how?

Example:
Industry picklist of Accounts
ID | name
1 | "building industry"
2 | "more"
....

Industry picklist of Leads
ID | Name
2 | "building industry"
3 | "more"

CRM maps only with Id's so I have a problem when I convert a lead with
industry ID 2("building industry") to an account, the account will have
"more" as the value.

"Cameron" <microsoft.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag
news:com... 
(say Accounts) and then select the field you want to edit and then change
properties - you can change the pick list items there. You will need to map
new items in the Schema manager if you want them to come across from Leads
to Accounts.

*Note on Hurricane Rita *

I am requesting you send up a prayer for us, We live just East and
North of Houston Texas

We are expecting Hurricane Rita later today.

We riding it out, have boarded up the windows, and have supplies on
hand. I expect to lose all lights, phone, and Internet
later today. Last time we lost power for 3 weeks.

If you have seen the news, they have evacuated almost 3 million people
from Houston, it has been surreal here, I have never seen
them do this before. There are no stores open for 3 counties, there is
no gasoline to be had, banks are closed, the streets are empty.
The banks ran out of cash on Wednesday, the stores ran out of batteries
on Wednesday, Service stations ran out of fuel yesterday.
There are thousands stranded on the interstate trying to evacuate, I do
not believe they will all make it out in time.

I have done all I can to protect my family and friends, it is now in
Gods hands, which is where it has always been.

I have several of our extended family here with us, have boarded up the
windows. we have full gas tanks, supplies on hand
and will ride it out to see what the night brings. (I am also prepared
for looters if it come to that as well,)

We will be out of touch later today, and may be for several days or
weeks. I will let you all know when we are back up and running.

Thank you for remembering us and all of the people caught up in this
situation.

If any of you order the works templates from us, I will not be able to
respond to emails until this has passed. I will respond
to all emails when I can. I am signing off for now to make some more
preparations both here, and with my neighbors as well.

I will post again when I am able, after this is over.

runtime errors with Works Suite 2005

Posted: 12 Mar 2006 08:01 PM PST

Depending on your needs, Works is a perfectly reasonable product.

Works Suite includes Word as an alternative to the Works word processor.
So assuming that you didn't install Office XP, it's probably the Word
from Works Suite.

I assume that you get the error when you try to use the Word Processor.
Does it happen all the time or just some times?

Take a look at:

You receive a "MS Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error" error
message when you try to close a Word document or quit Word 2002 or Word
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322201

You receive an error message when you try to close or to save a Word
2003 document

I don't know if you saw it but another poster suggested this article:

Record 20 ( last record) has the running totals for all 4 discs.

The report shows individual file listings etc. .

Rodney certainly found a neat utility at Karen's, reminds me of
the good ol' DOS days and DIR.

Change the file type to Text files and import the *.csv file.

Very Frustrated and Confused

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 02:51 PM PDT

* Title must be 2 to 200 characters long.

I have been trying to open the Office programs for 2013, and none of them will.  It says that something has gone wrong.  I have already "repaired" the program from the "Programs and Features" setting in the Control Panel. The icon has a shield type symbol in the bottom right corner.  This is very frustrating, seeing as I have a project for school due tomorrow, and it's not been working since I installed the dang thing.

mail merge rules (Skip Next If) Not Working

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 02:09 PM PDT

I am using Word 2013 to create mailing labels using a data source in Excel 2013. There is a group of records that I wish to exclude from the mailing labels list, and these are designated in the Excel spreadsheet via a column titled EM and a value of Y. I insert the "Skip Record If" rule at the beginning of the label and set the parameters to field=EM, comparison to Equal To, and Compare To = Y. When I run the mail merge, the records that have Y in the EM field in the Excel data source are not skipped.

I then tried to use the Edit Recipient list as an alternate approach. I selected Edit Recipient List, then selected filter, and Field=EM, Comparison=Equal To, and Comparison With=Y. When I hit OK, I get an error message saying that the Value is not Valid. If I instead leave the Comparison With field blank, then it accepts the filter command, but does not filter out the records with a blank in the EM field.

Any advice on how to get Word to skip these unwanted records is very much appreciated.

How to determine if a logo is in a document (programmatically)

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 02:09 PM PDT

Hi all,

I am writing a macro to loop through a few hundred documents looking for a logo to be updated.

How do I programmatically query the document to determine the number logos?  I was looking for something like:

lnNumLogos = document.shapes.count

if lnNumLogos > 0 then .....

But the logos are not in the shapes collection.  i.e. even when there was a logo, .shapes.count = 0

But I could not find a .Pictures collection or .GraphicObjects or something like that.

Note that I need to get the count whether the logo is in the body of the document or in the header/footer.  And I realize that I will most likely get some false positives with other graphic objects - I just need to narrow it down so I can manually open these templates for further inspection.

Thanks.

How to get rid of the "Your Margins Are Pretty Small" Warning?

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 12:47 PM PDT

Hi,
How do I get rid of the warning in Office 2013 that says "Your Margins Are pretty small, some of the content you print may be cut off. Are you sure you want to print?"?
I set my margins to small by default, as I know that my HP printer can print to that size. (I have been printing like this for about 2 months, with no cut offs!) However word refuses to acknowledge this.
Is there some sort of global setting that stops this? As the amount of times that I have hit quick print, and then gone to the printer and then realised that it hasn't printed, because I forgot to click yes to the warning! It is really annoying!
Also, I really do not want to follow the steps in KB166055, as I would have to do that for every single document, and even then it decreases my margins, to sizes which word considers "Acceptable", which wastes paper, and  messes up my document organisation completely! These "Acceptable" Margins are massive!! Can I stop it without changing my margin size?
Thanks
George

I want to flag ": as a grammar or spelling error

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 12:21 PM PDT

Plus changing ": to " would still leave an undesired space.  That would be even harder to spot.   Any suggestions? 

Word 2010 changes the label in captions (from table to figure or vice versa)

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 12:17 PM PDT

This is a new document, started yesterday in a clean template. I copied content from another doc and pasted it, UNFORMATTED, in the new document for edits and formatting. After a few hours, I noticed that in some of the captions, Word had changed the label, but the correct style (either "table caption" or "figure caption") was still applied. (Note: I've seen this happen before in corrupted documents, but this is a new doc that contains nothing unusual!)

I tried deleting the custom caption styles and re-applying them, but that didn't help. There's no sign that anything has gone wrong unless I page up in the document and look at tables and figures that I captioned earlier. Not all caption labels are changed, but I haven't determined a pattern to the changes.

This is a confidential document so I can't even show you a sample of what's happening.

I know that the first suggestion might be to say that the document is corrupt, but I don't know how that could have happened in a new document when all the content was pasted as text only (or JPGs). It's nearly 150 pages and I don't have time to start the formatting all over again!  The template has been working fine for months for many users.

Suggestions, ideas, especially solutions, will be gratefully accepted!

I uninstalled Office 2000
I reinstalled Office 2000 hoping that would fix problem with opening Word, it didn't

Why is normal.dotm always saved?

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 11:56 AM PDT

I have a shortcut in a custom QuickLaunch toolbar. This shortcut is set to open word without opening a blank document. So, why is it that every time I open Word and then close it without doing anything at all, it tries to save the Noramal.dotm? This auto saving of Noraml.dotm causes problems when I have multiple instances of word open as the first instance locks the file. Therefore, when I close the second instance first, the Normal.dotm file is locked and I get an error.

Word 2010 - Form text field - size resets to default when printing or creating a PDF

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 11:03 AM PDT

Word 2010 - When I add text fields to a form, and need it to be larger than the default; I add the field, restrict editing to filling out forms, manually make the field the size I want, and then stop protection. 

Example, On this ___ day of ____________, 20__    Notice how the line for the month needs to be longer than the default size of a text field.

Ok.....for the past 21 years of using Word, whenever I create a PDF or just print the form, the field size stays as it appears above.  SUDDENLY, this past month, anytime I print or create a PDF, Word 2010 literally resizes my field BACK to the default size.  So it comes out like this:
On this ___ day of ___, 20__      

 

EDIT - Upon further testing what is happening is that Word is clearing the fields upon printing (or creating a PDF)

I tested this by entering default text (I used "hi").  I locked the form, entered data into the field, thus replacing the default text, and when I created the PDF file, it contained my default text ("hi").

 

Form w/ default text - on this ___  day of "hi", 20__ at 9:00 a.m

Form w/ data entered into locked field - on this 26th  day of November 2013 at 9:00 a.m

PDF RESULT - on this ___  day of "hi", 20__ at 9:00 a.m

Where has my file been saved by Word?

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:39 AM PDT

I just downloaded a file from dropbox (I clicked 'open' not 'save'). It opened in Microsoft word and I began editing it. When I had finished I clicked the save button. It didn't tell me the document was read-only nor did it direct me to 'save as' so I assume it has saved somewhere. However, when I then searched for the file name, I could only find an old file of the same name and not my newly edited version (basically the original document I had uploaded to Dropbox from my computer). Where has my edited file been saved? I have searched for the file name in the computer and cannot find it. Has it possibly been saved under another name? Is there another way that I can recover this file?

Changing style won't "stick"

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:36 AM PDT

I can change to what I want for the current document, but it doesn't hold for future documents. I don't understand why what I had set up became undone, and I have no clue how to get it back.

Remove Read Only from an open file or access macro from another file.

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:29 AM PDT

I open Word file attachment from an email and the attachment is marked read only. My problem is that I cannot start a macro that I

want to use on that file. The macro is stored in a separate document and the macro are not visible when the read only file is the

active document. I also cannot change the trust permission on the Outlook Temp folder and I have no need for the file after I have

processed it so I would like to avoid Saving the file locally. All these files have similar file names or strings.

1. Is there a way to create an event that triggers a macro from my Word macro file when I open the attachment ?
2. Can I launch the macro from Word macro file after the attachment is open and have it locate the open file based on the string in
the file name. This would help me get around the fact that I cannot launch the macro when the attached file is the active document.

I'm asking because I don't even think this can be done. If it can, please show me.

Thanks

    How can I rotate the view of a document in word?

 

Let me clarify:   I wish to rotate the VIEW of a document in word with out changing anything on the page.

 

I just want to see the whole project AS IS rotated 90 degrees, and then make any last minute changes in that VIEW.

 

If why matters -  I have text going Right to left, and some rotated.  I wish to see it better.

 

Please, Tell me it cannot be done, or how to ROTATE the VIEW 90 degrees if it is possible.

 

Please do not dirty the thread with non sequiturs, tangents, massive header code inserts, or opinions. 

I have exhausted my search and posted here as a last ditch effort after reading useless and indirect replies to other's similar questions.

 

Thanks so much,

Merge field called Next Record

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 06:23 AM PDT

Hi,

 

This question regards merging in Word using Avery label 5147 (2 11/32 x 3 3/8) with 2 labels per sheet that are used for merging names in an Excel list onto these labels (used for name badges). 

 

The fields are in 2 text boxes on the two labels on the screen to center position them properly on this label format.    Yet after I put in the Name and Company field I inserted a "next record" field because when I do the final merge with my excel data, I want the next name in the list to appear on the badge below the top one, so I have 2 different names on the 2 labels on the sheet.

 

But I got an error message that the merge does not accept the "next record" field when I did the merge.

 

Any workarounds that you might suggest is much appreciated!!  thank you

Word 2010 Table Row "At Least" Height Pagination

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 05:43 AM PDT

I create a table with a single row set to a height of at least 5". When the content of the row extends it onto the next page, the part of the row that is on the next page is 5". This repeats on each subsequent page and technically makes the row height at least 5" x the total number of pages it through which it extends.

 

So, if the row extends through 3 pages, its height is at least 15", or, at least 5" on each page.  This is not what I intend when I set the "at least" height. Is there a workaround that keeps the "at least" height and doesn't magically extend the height of the row on each page?

word 2007 - apply watermark to cells in table

I am trying to add a watermark to the back of a business card.

I have also tried following these How-to's -

Userforms and VBA code to populate address in a Word document

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 02:43 AM PDT

Hi there, I work on a lot of precedent documents which are used by numerous employees in a nationwide firm.  On the template from which these precedents have been created, there is an option on the front page to populate the user's office location - this works first off on the precedent, i.e. it captures my office location as I create the precedents, but when these precedents are then used to create personal documents for people in other locations, the bookmarks do not update, so I was thinking of removing the bookmarks and adding a Userform (with maybe a macro button?!) so the user can select their office location and it will then be placed in the correct place in the document.

All sounds good, but I haven't got a clue how to do it ... I've seen and used macros a lot in the past, and I've come across a couple of documents that have these Macro buttons which were you click on it, you can fill in the details which are then put into the document, but that's as far as it goes - using VBA terrifies me - it looks so confusing, and as to the coding ...  help!!!

So could someone please give me, very easy to follow, step by step instructions on how to create a list of different addresses whereby one can be selected and added at the correct place in the document.

Thank you.

Word 2010 - table header / sub-header rows

Posted: 17 Oct 2013 01:28 AM PDT

I suspect the answer to this question is 'no', but always worth asking just to be sure, as you never know!

I'm wondering if there is a way to set up sub-header rows in a table that appear at the top of each page along with the normal header row, for example:

Header row titles
Sub-header row 1 titles
data data data data

I thought I might be able to 'trick' Word into doing this with nested tables, but sadly to no avail.  Is there any other way to do this except manually?

Opening a Word doc is now initiating a lengthy Office (2007) Setup procedure. Diagnostics report no problems.

This started after a couple of years using Office. The setup procedure takes quite some time to complete.
Opening Excel is still fine.
Obviously something's amiss. 
Anyone?

A Frustrating Formatting Problem

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 06:37 PM PDT

I have several sets of Avery labels in different sizes. I've downloaded Word templates for each, and assumed that they would be accurately formatted for the size and position of the peel-off labels.
Here's the strange thing: The print previews show all entries correctly placed in the cells. However, when they print, the text is not inside the cell. It's near the top or in some cases split between two cells.
I've tried increasing the top margin, but that results in the bottom row of cells being pushed to another page.
Is there some "trick" to formatting documents that contain columns and rows of cells?
Thanks for any help,
Grandpa

PS: Am I mistaken to assume that the print preview should show exactly how a document will print?

Font problem

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 06:10 PM PDT

I have an access program especially made for our non profit organisation and you add a letter to a word document ( microsoft word  v 7 template )and the program imports it as a letter at the top of the receipt. The letter is done in Times new roman but the font in access comes out like an old typewriter has done it.  ( cuts off the tails of g and squashes up letters) It looks real unprofessional. I have tried copying the letter with paste special and unformatted text in case that helped. It didn't.
Does anyone have any suggestions.


Office error 00xc00401c

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 05:28 PM PDT

I jsut bought a new HP laptop with a trial version of the new Office products. I have tried several times today to use my Word 2013, and I keep getting an error code of 00xc00401c- "Sorry we ran into a problem while installing the product key. If this keeps happening, you should try repairing your office product". So I try, and it goes through the whole process, only to have the same error code pop up when it's finished and I am trying to access Word. The trial is for 30 days, and it's only been installed on my laptop for a week. What can I do to get this fixed?

I bought Office home and student 2013 but the Product Key was defective. Best Buy won't give money back.

Best Buy store manager Robert Fink, Texarkana, TX says it is a Microsoft problem and that MS should refund the $151.54. He can be reached at 903 223-0034. MS provided wrong Product Key but Best Buy took the money and should, therefore, be the one to refund the money. Copyright Law should not apply in this case.

Using Word 2010 when scrolling takes over and adds blank pages

Posted: 16 Oct 2013 04:08 PM PDT

That title pretty much says it all. I've been working on a document which is five or six pages long. It is in list format, but the list is not numbered or bulleted - just hand input.

But what is happening, repeatedly, it that I will be scrolling down or just hitting enter and suddenly the document starts scrolling down very fast and adding blank pages. Sometimes this is in the middle of the document and sometimes at the end.

A couple of times I was able to stop it and delete the unnecessary pages. However, at the moment my six page long document is 21 pages long.

I've tried closing the program and reopening it and I have even shut off the PC and restarted it, but it keeps happening. I've used Word for years and never seen anything like this.

Using Word from Office 2010  on a Windows 8 machine.

Ideas???
