Can I install Office 97 to Windows XP?

Posted: 09 Jan 2006 05:18 PM PST

I was planning on installing Office 97, and then installing my Office Pro
2000 upgrade discs on top of that. I already had the upgrade discs, but that
was all i had. So I bought 97, since I could install the upgrade discs,
since it would be cheaper than buying new office 2003. Should it all install
smoothly then?

Assuming you mean upgrade to winxp
You ran the compatibility checker first?
You upgraded drivers from your Laptop manu site for winxp?

Try an Office repair, using office cd

I logged on as Administrator, as Current User, as All Users, etc. I have
tried everything, but each time when the program installs, it goes to All

has to be easier than this.

Installing Office Pro 2003

Posted: 07 Jan 2006 07:58 PM PST

I feel your pain. I actually had the exact same problem today. I just
bought a new laptop and had to buy office 2003. The only office product I
had installed was Microsoft Outlook 2002 for my PDA. There was no other
Microsoft products on it. When installing, the default was for an UPGRADE, I
went ahead and chose this option and that is when the installation stopped at
the 'writing system registry' and locked up.

I decided to reinstall my Outlook 2002. This rolled back the above
installation. I then ran the install again for Office 2003. This time I
chose a custom installation and chose Word, Excel and Powerpoint only. The
installation worked!

Hope this helps. If not, I feel for you.

Why the temp file?

Well... BAK is a lousy name for a file that is absolutely necessary.
That name is normally reserved for backup files that AREN'T necessary. I
wonder how many people go through what I went through. It's just another
microsoft thoughtless screw-up as far as I'm concurred. I understand
there are some pirate style work arounds laying out there.

Need procedures to reinstall Office 2000 & Service Packs

Posted: 30 Dec 2005 06:50 PM PST

I have a related question, I just installed Windows XP (full) and loaded my
older Office 2000 Premium. Using the Microsoft Update utility it tells me I
need to run SP-1a. When I try and download the file and run it the system
prompts me and says I already have SP-1a. However, when I look at the
"about" descriptions of the Office programs (excel, word etc..) I do not see
the SP-1 description. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2000
Premium and got the same results. Why does it tell me to install SP-1a and
then tell me SP-1 is installed but I can find no evidence of the SP-1
installation on the control panel or in the Office 2000 programs? Help is
greatly appreciated.

CRM 1.2 and upgrade of OS

Posted: 18 Aug 2004 12:59 AM PDT

Guy, found this somewhere on a newsgroup (see steps 3 to 6)

Dave

I found this and it solved the Crystal problem:


Document ID: 32212
Date Created: 7/31/2003
Date Last Modified: 8/8/2003 11:20:32 AM
Language: English - United States
Country: USA
Product: Microsoft CRM
Versions: 1.0
Modules: Microsoft CRM Miscellaneous, Microsoft CRM Reports, Microsoft CRM
Server Administration

Issue

Error - "Failed to register with the APS SERVERNAME. Please make sure the
APS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry." occurs in the Event
Log after a reboot of the Microsoft Customer Relationship Management Server.

Potential Cause

All the Crystal services have to register with the APS service when they
startup. If the APS is not started the other crystal services will keep
retrying to register until they successfully register with the APS.

After the reboot the APS is not starting up in time for the other Crystal
services to register with the first time they try. When they try the second
time then it is successful.

Resolution

To resolve this so the Crystal services startup and register successfully
the first time follow these steps to make a dependency on the APS service.

1. Go to Start | Programs | Crystal Enterprise | Crystal Configuration
Manager.

2. Stop all the Crystal services. (Highlight them all and choose stop)

3. Right click on the Crystal Cache Server and choose Properties.

4. Under the Dependency Tab, click Add.

5. Search for Crystal APS. When you find Crystal APS highlight it and
choose Add.

6. Then click OK.

7. Now do steps 3-6 for the rest of the Crystal services:

Crystal Event Server
Crystal Input File Repository Server
Crystal Output File Repository Server
Crystal Page Server
Crystal Report Job Server
Crystal Web Component Server

8. Now start all the services. (Highlight them all and choose Start)

How can I specify the recipient in an email template?

Posted: 17 Aug 2004 03:30 PM PDT

Yeah, makes you wonder. They provide a template and there is even some hint
that it allows you to specify who it should go to, but via workflow, it doesn't
work.

You can use the Oppy Won template manually though, so it isn't totally
worthless.

Schema Manager

Posted: 17 Aug 2004 02:56 PM PDT

Carlos,

Are you saying you want data brought into the Quote when it's created from the
Account? If so, then the mapping changes should work. However, if you are
trying to get data into an already existing Quote, the map will not work.

Mappings only come into play when an object is created "from" another obect.
And, they only work from 1 source object. So, if you are creating the Quote
from an Oportunity, the map from the Account will not come into play as you are
creating the Qutoe "from" the Opportunity.

HTH,

Hi !

The easiest way, I think, is to work with Worklow.

You can create use it to call an URL, wich will contain the object type (or
a constant string) like this.
This URL will point onto an ASP page, which will do something in a database
(an INSERT or UPDATE SQL command).

This is very easy to do !

CRM Integration install on GP Server

Posted: 13 Aug 2004 01:13 PM PDT

No you do not need to have the server with GP integration be a DC.

The only real restriction is that CRM and GP Integration are not to be on
the same PC. Most of the issues are with regard to BizTalk 2002 which should
not be installed on a DC.

From real world experience, be prepared for a lot of performance issues with
the integration. Once you get it setup you will see DTSRUN.exe processes
running and taking 100% of the processor.

Microsoft Word - My printer goes offline constantly

Microsoft Word - My printer goes offline constantly


My printer goes offline constantly

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 03:37 PM PST

I have a HP Officejet 6600 series printer and it goes offline constantly. It is almost impossible to get it online again. Any suggestions? I have owned it for about 3 months and I hate it. It has been nothing but trouble and I am about to toss it out because it never works right. I use it wirelessly. The last one I had worked great wirelessly until something broke internally and I had to replace it. After spending over $100 to buy this new printer, it isn't worth it unless I can get it to stay online. Help!!!

Merge fields not working in Office 365

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 02:58 PM PST

I'm an instructor at a college and I often teach the same course either in following terms or following years. Because of this I use an Excel file containing the quarter, due dates etc... to merge with a Word document and produce the new syllabus without the necessity to re-type it all. Some of the variable data is contained in the header of the Word document. Always before this has merged perfectly. However, with Office 365 this appears no longer to work. Is there a fix or something for this?

Large Caps to Small Caps in MS Word

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 02:02 PM PST

I have a large document in MS Word 2010 (Using Windows 8.1) in which there are a series of titles in all caps. Some are one word

   LIVING

and some are several words long

   LIVING WITH BEASTS.

I would like to change these expressions with a global Search and Replace into all small caps, except for the first letter, which would remain a large cap. (This question doesn't handle small caps, so I have to spell it out.) So in both the first and second examples above only the initial L would be in large caps.

   The document also has a lot of material in ordinary type, which would stay the same. Note that a Search that replaced a word beginning with a capital letter and then lower case  (Living) should not be affected, nor should single capital letters (the letter A, the numeral I) be changed to small caps. I can live with the fact that longer Roman numerals (III, XIV) would be change into sequences with initial large cap, then small caps--these are few enough for me to fix manually.

   Short of this wonderful search and replace, it would at least help if all words in all large caps were changed into words with all small caps. I can't seem to make wild-card and Match Case combinations do this.

OPENING WORD 1997-2003 DOCUMENTS IN WORD 2013

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 01:53 PM PST

Earlier this year I installed Office 2013, since when I've been unable to open older, Word 1997-2003 documents.  On attempting to, I'm immediately faced with 'word cannot start the converter WPFT532.CNV'.

The Help prompt reads 'if removing and reinstalling the converter is not successful, there may be a problem with a resource on the computer (for example, an executable file that is needed to properly register the converters on the computer has failed or stopped running). In this case, it is best to turn off the computer and start over'.

I've previously tried Microsoft Support and countless downloads without success.  Microsoft advised that Word was corrupted, but after reinstalling it, I'm no nearer a solution.

Is there a fix, or have I really lost 2 years of work?

Thank you.

HI. I teach a Word Graphics class at a local library and our computers all have Windows 7 with Office 2010 installed. On many of the computers WordArt displays differently.

I can't find a way to change them so that they all display the current version.

Automating Templates in MS Word 2010

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 09:17 AM PST

I've got a couple of fairly long documents that all need the same sort of automation.

These documents all have state specific information, and I'd like to automate as much as possible. Here's what I mean:

I'd like to be able select the state the document is being prepared for (in this case, let's use New Jersey). There are instances in the document where I'd like a field to automatically populate with the words "New Jersey". There are other parts of the document where I'd like it to automatically populate with "NJ". Additionally, there are other parts of the document where I would like it to populate information, such as "NJDED", "New Jersey Department of Education", or "NJDED - 877-900-6960".

I make these documents for several states, and I'd really like an option when I begin working, to select a state, or something along those lines, and the rest of the information would automatically fill itself in.

Is this even possible? I'm at a total loss on how to go about this. I'm extremely proficient in using word and have a decent understanding of programming, so I'm up for the challenge no matter what.

Here is how I would like it to appear in the table of figures:

I can type in just the short caption, create the table of figures, and go back and type in the rest of the caption, but is there a better way to accomplish this?

Document variable disappears after mail merge. vba question

Posted: 11 Dec 2013 06:24 AM PST

I have a mail merge where upon completion of the merge, the result document is attached to a template that has 4 procedures to be run in order. The main merge document has a document variable "Stage" which is checked by these procedures to make sure they are run only once and in order. After each procedure is run, the variable is changed.

Immediately after running the merge, the variable shows as having been deleted. This throws an error in the procedures when they check for it. A different variable in the main merge document is still present in the merge result document.

I have gotten around this with an error handler that creates the variable if it is missing but am curious as to what might be happening.

Originally I had the variable set in the main merge document with a value of 0. I thought that was the problem and changed it to -1. That generates the same error.

Formatting a Mail Merge from Excel to Word Using Field Codes

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 10:15 PM PST

At work, I have a database of inventory from which I have to generate reports. My employers want me to print these reports using as little paper as possible. I tried to use Excel to format the data concisely (such as using repeating columns on the same page), but couldn't get it to work. I then decided to mail merge the data into Word, which gives me much more control of the layout and format. 

At the moment, the merged document is laid out as a Word table, displaying "Distributor," "Product Line," "Description," and "Quantity" as column headers. The layout is okay, but could use some improvement. The nuisance is the "Distributor" and "Product Line" columns are very redundant. Rather than having 20+ entries that begin with the same distributor and product line, I would like to setup these two columns as headers. For example:

Instead of...

  Distributor      Product Line       Description                Quantity
Animal Supply | Blue Basics          | Senior 24#                |...
Animal Supply | Blue Basics          | Healthy Weight 24# |...
Animal Supply | Blue Buffalo        | Chicken 30#              |... 
Animal Supply | Blue Buffalo        | Fish 30#                     |...
Central              | Natural Balance | Duck 28#                   |... 
Central              | Natural Balance | Venison 28#              |...

I'd like something more like...

Animal Supply
     Blue Basics
          Senior 24#                    Quantity
          Healthy Weight 24#     ...

     Blue Buffalo
          Chicken 30#                  ...
          Fish 30#                         ...

Central
     Natural Balance
          Duck 28#                       ...
          Venison 28#                  ...

I tried using field codes, but couldn't get them to work. I even tried following this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294686. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Benjamin

Running Macro produces: Run-time error '5941' The requested member of the collection does not exist.

I am trying to record a Macro that will build a footer for my documents.
I'm trying to insert the 12/10/2013 format from the Date and Time selection of Header and Footer Design.
I have the Macro set to go into 'Normal.dotm'.
I have Macros Enabled in the Trust Center.
When I click the Debug button on the error window the highlighted part of the macro looks like this:

Printing labels in MS Word from a filtered document in MS Excel

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 07:12 PM PST

First, I looked for an answer to this question and if I missed the answer, I apologize.  This is just driving me crazy.  I have a list of names and addresses that I pulled into Excel from a another program at work.  The list had a huge amount of names/addresses that did not need labels printed so I used the filter option in Excel and deselected them.  I saved the Excel file on my desktop.  I then opened MS Word, Labels and proceeded to make labels from the filtered list.  Well, it pulls ALL names from the filtered list.  When I right-click on the Excel list and select Unhide all the names are still there; when Hide is selected, they go away.  I know I can edit the names in Label mode by unchecking the names but I have already done this in Excel.  My question is, basically, is that what I need to do, again?  Deselect the individual names that do not need labels printed?  No one at work seems to know and honestly, if I can get out if it I would love to!  My eyes will love me for it!  So, is there a way to print labels from my filtered Excel file or do I need to re-filter?  Thanks!!

Invisibly link words or phrases in main text to endnotes (Word 2010)

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 06:56 PM PST

Hello,

I'm writing a long narrative that incorporates words and short expressions that I would like to further explain by way of endnotes.  However, I don't want my main narrative to be visually interrupted by endnote symbols or numbers. 

Thus, if on page 69, the following sentence appears in the narrative:  "Henry was suffering from another episode of moon-blasted madness"...

...I would like to create the following kind of endnote:

(69) moon-blasted madness; see "Religious Musings", Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1796

However, there should be no indication on page 69 that an endnote is associated with any text on that page (you would have to peruse the endnotes to discover this).

Note: it's important that the page reference in the endnote be dynamic.  In other words, if by writing or editing, the original sentence no longer appears on page 69 of the main text, but on page 73, the endnote should automatically update to:

(73) moon-blasted madness; see "Religious Musings", Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1796

I'm aware that there is a software product called Endnotes... but it seems so strongly skewed toward academic uses that I'm afraid it is too complex for my simple needs.

Ideas, anyone?  All ideas are welcome!

Word 2007 Mailmerge won't display $ amounts correctly

How can I make a multi-page Word 2010 document open to the end, instead of page 1?

Posted: 10 Dec 2013 04:25 PM PST


I make daily additions to a forty page document, always at the bottom/end and am getting tired of having to use the horizontal slider to get there. The document always opens at the top of the first page. I would like it to open at the bottom of the last page. Thank you.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. Following your post, I backed up my .pst files
just to be on the safe side, uninstalled the Standard Version, rebooted,
installed the Professional edition and everything works fine (Outlook kept
all the old data, so didn't have to do a thing). Just downloaded the service
packs and other updated again too.

Thank again! :)

Admin install of Office XP now I want to add Frontpage

Posted: 04 Jan 2006 05:50 AM PST

Yep, that did it! My situation was a little unique since I am using
Zenworks 6.5 and my users are only members of the users group. I
needed to get the maintwiz.exe to run as a admin user or else it would
fail so here is what I did to get it to complete successfully.
1. Used the Custom Maintenance Wizard to create the CMW file on the
server.
2. Created an application object that did the following.
Run Options/Application - In Path to File- %my path to
maintwiz.exe%
- In Parameters- -c "%path to
..cmw file%" /qb-
Run Options/Environment - Run and Secure System User
I have no progress information but I did add a post launch script to
logoff the user so at least I know it is done.
Run Options/Launch Scripts - Run After Termination -
#c:\windows\system32\shutdown -L

Thanks for your help

Office Professional 2003 (Re)installation Problems

Posted: 02 Jan 2006 01:44 AM PST

Hi Lar,

If the Local Installation Source (LIS) for Office 2003 that is stored under \MSOCache folder, then you may want to use the LISTool
utility to disable then rebuild the Cache.

The link to the tool is under Question 8 (Q8) in this article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830168/en-us?FR=1

Unable to Fix O XP Pro

Posted: 01 Jan 2006 01:01 PM PST

Thanks for your comments. I too, had not understood the fact that running
the msicuu2.exe file was just the installation of the clean up utility.
After actually running the utility and deleting the installer for Office XP
Pro, I was able to reinstall successfully.

Office 2003 Student Teacher - reload

For Students and Teachers versions of Office 2003, you can install it on only 3
computers for use in the household. Once you have used up all three licenses,
you can't install it on any further systems. Also, transferring on another
system is strictly not allowed.

Hope this clarifies your position.

What link are you talking about and in what connection?

Why have you deleted previous message which we can't now follow through
your query?

You should always create a new message/thread if the problem is not
related to any other already dealt with.

This link would prove very useful for you (and it works!):

Everything now OK after a custom reinstall of Office/Frontpage.

What actually happened was very peculiar. When I originally
wiped and reinstalled msOffice 2000, I had inadvertently installed
a slightly different Office 2000 bundle -- which didn't include
Frontpage. Even tho the Frontpage directory remained intact,
some of the requisite dll's never got installed.

Even tho I was able to download and replace the missing dll's,
I still was unable to successfully open Frontpage.

Thanks for helping out.

Problems with uninstalling Office 2003 and installing Office XP

Posted: 30 Dec 2005 03:50 PM PST

Assuming you have used Add/Remove dialogue to uninstall o2003
Locate the OL data folder, by default;
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
and delete the data files, or if you actually used OL2003 save them to
another backup location.
OL2003 uses a different pst file format to OLxp, and OLxp cannot use this
format
You will have to set up OLxp again.

Office Basic is an OEM only installation so your product key should be with
your computer information, perhaps on the case.
