Going from Free trial to purchased

Posted: 01 Apr 2006 12:55 PM PST

Thanks JoAnn for your help though. I appreciate your time! I believe I may
have figured it out. The error message (1406) provides results when searched
but it is pretty complex. It seems to be a known issue. I've followed the
steps up til 7-b. I don't know what the Instance Component Set.# is.

Here are the instructions I've found to correct the problem.
Important This article contains information about how to modify the
registry. Make sure to back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure
that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more
information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
256986 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/) Description of the
Microsoft Windows registry
SYMPTOMS
You try to install Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact
Manager. During or at the end of the installation process, you may receive
the following error message or a similar error message:
Error 1406 Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
CAUSE
This issue may occur if you do not have sufficient permissions to modify
sections of the registry. These permissions are required to install Business
Contact Manager. This issue occurs when the permission for the Everyone group
of the \SOFTWARE registry subkey is not set to Full Control.
RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly
by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might
require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee
that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.To
resolve this issue, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type
control userpasswords, and then click OK.
2. Create a new computer administrator account.
3. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
4. In Registry Editor, right-click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and then
click Permissions.
5. Click Add, type Everyone, and then click OK.
6. Under Group or user names, click Everyone. Under Permissions, click to
select Full Control in the Allow column, and then click OK.
7. Follow these steps for the following subkeys: •
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\Setup
a. Locate and then click the subkey.
b. Delete the InstanceComponentSet.# string value in the right panel. Note
that # is a number, and the value of this key is
{66563AD8-637B-407F-BCA7-0233A16891AB}.

8. Unregister and then reregister the Microsoft Windows Installer service.
To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec
/regserver, and then click OK.
b. Click Start, click Run, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.

9. Insert the Business Contact Manager installation CD, and then follow the
prompts to install.

Office 2003 Local Installation Source

Posted: 31 Mar 2006 10:02 AM PST

used the setupstd.exe, In the MST generated no source paths where inputed
into CIW during MST creation. I didn't script to delete setup files so to
recap what your saying with all conditions you stipulated met. There will be
no source path no network or CD. So if the files in msocache get corrupted
the resolution is to reinstall this office package again....however the
likehood of corruption of msocache on local PC should be finite on a properly
managed network.

Setup.exe vs MSIEXEC with Office 2003?

Posted: 30 Mar 2006 03:13 AM PST

Hi Bob,
 
directly from an MSI directly to solve some problems that 
Using just the MSI isn't considered to be a 'supported 
note the box labeled "important" 
I'd guess there are folks using their own methods and 3rd 

OK, from what I can gather their only concern is "system verification", this
doesn't worry me as the same rules apply to any other MSI deployment. In
other words, it's my job to ensure the system is "verified". However, the
language used in that paragraph says "DO NOT", and that's a concern for the
reasons you stated (not fully supported etc).
 
Point as the source or to use a Local Installation Source 

Yes, well I'm not the only one that thinks LIS is a "barmy" (quoted from a
website) idea. It seems like a security risk to me, where they'll end up
with CAB files in their "hidden" local cache that contain vulnerable older
versions of things like EXCEL.EXE? I took one look at the MSOCache and
OSE.exe when Office 2003 was first released and decided to steer well clear.
 
be 'messier' than putting the parameters in a batch 
batch and ini are text based command lists.

At first I thought SETUP.INI was a good idea, but I have created a tiny
generic deployment tool that can install/manage/uninstall not just Microsoft
products but others too such as Adobe. The Setup.exe for Office is causing
me headaches because I can't use the same calls from the MSIEXEC service;
one example is that my tool can check to see if Office 2003 is already
installed (e.g. from a CD) and then act accordingly such as uninstalling the
mismatched product first and then installing the correct one - useful for
corporate mergers. The other thing is that I want all parameters to be set
in ONE place; I don't want some things set inside SETUP.INI and others in
TRANSFORMs and CMD lines; as I manage Office 2003, Frontpage 2003, Project
2003, that's 3 x SETUP.INI to worry about. With MSIEXEC I can merely set the
properties for all three products at run time. Of course it's still possible
to do the above with Setup.exe, but not in the elegant way I'd like.
 
depending on how / where they might be used 

Yes, if I'd known what the "Office Web Components" were a few months back
I'd never have selected that feature for install! ActiveX was always a bad
idea; if you're going to put something on the "web" it needs to work in
browsers other than IE and on platforms other than Windows. Even for
Windows-only, it's a bad idea as the ActiveX tends to go wrong when you've
got non-admin users and tight security settings and by nature you get a lot
of security flaws found in ActiveX which then allow system level access
because of parts of IE being part of the operating system. The steps users
are expected to take in KB828950 and the "licensing considerations" are
enough to put anyone off; life is too short for such nonsense.

Anyway, the links you posted have clarified the issue of Setup.exe vs
MSIEXEC, I think it's worth trying my new MSIEXEC system to see if it works,
and in theory it will also work with Office 2007.

created a new 03k pst.
Using the mail applet would get rid of all, including profile, but as I

I did finish up creating a new profile, had some OL probs, whether this was

Agree excessive hassle ... likely ditch 2003 (WORD & OL) for a later day.

I have clients that use only Word 2000 and use of XP or 2003 in editing
(inserting Comments, etc) does NOT result in completely compatible when
re-opened in 2000, even when the 2000 compatibility options are selected. We

photo in text box

I have a document with text boxes that we insert photos into.  Is there a way or getting the text box to take on the size of the photo, (filling the textbox) instead of having to resize the photo within the text box.  ie, if the photo is small you have to drag the photo to the size to be the same as the text box and I wondered if there is a way or making photos automatically be the size of the text box.  Would save hours if that is possible.  Help please ?

I created several Word documents last week -- a text box (red color border) with black text inside to be used as signs.  These printed just fine on Friday on a HP OfficeJet 6500.  Yesterday (Monday) I created an Excel spreadsheet with 4 columns, a combination of color and black text but didn't print it.


Today the spreadsheet will only print the color text and very very light black text which you can hardly see --- I tried printing last week's Word documents and the same problem resulted.  I then tried printing a Word document from 2 months ago and it too printed the black text so faint one can hardly read.


Evidently something has reset itself within Word and Excel.

novice suffering various problems with office. help!

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:10 AM PST

Problem one. while using office to write, 61 pages so far, I managed to accidently copy a page and it now appears in a home frame, twice as numbered pages. They refuse to be removed and seem to be protected. I believe them to be related to the picture function. What can I do to get rid without losing any other pages? Problem two. When I delete or change script it is highlited in red and I have to right click to select eithe add or remove. It's a **** of a problem and time consuming. I must have selected the function myself but I dont know how, or how to remove it. Problem three I must be accident prone as I have suddenly got two files running exactly the same with the same file name, like a mirror image except that I can alter each one independent of the other one. I have added a number2 to one of them. How did it happen and can I get rid of one without affecting the other? What a mess. Please make my day.

How to manage font list in MS Office 2013?

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:09 AM PST

While it is great that Office allows me to select from a large number of fonts, I really only draft in about 6 different fonts.  I need the rest to be installed so I can properly render documents that I receive from others, but I don't want to have to scroll past 40 useless fonts every time I want to select Royal Society of Chemistry font for a word or a paragraph.  

I have searched on this issue and the only advice I've seen is to delete all the other fonts.  That is a non-starter because I actually work with other human beings who have their own favorite fonts and shouldn't have to embed fonts just to work with me.  My computer has the capacity to store all these fonts locally, I just don't want to see the cluttering my drop-down list every time I draft a document that needs a second or third font.

Surely EVERYONE who changes fonts while drafting documents would appreciate the option of having a sublist of fonts that require NO SCROLLING to select.  Hmm.  Would my problem be solved by creating styles that embed those fonts?  Is that possible?

Thanks,

Michael Sullivan

PS:  The mandatory "Office Topic" drop-menu doesn't seem to permit me to say that I'm asking a question involving a setting that affects the entire MS Office array of applications.  Shockingly, it won't let me identify my OS as Win8.1 (it limits my options to Win7, Vista, and XP).  I'm guessing there's something broken here, given that the previous drop-menu listed Office 2013, which is designed with Win8* in mind, yes?

Keeping text only when copying from other programs

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 11:03 AM PST

After I reinstalled Windows 7 on my new computer, the Office "Options" keep changing back to defaults even though I checked the "For all new documents" window. For example, I had to change it to "Keep text only when copying from other programs". This was with the Office 2007 version. Now, that I switched to the 2010 version, it does hold the option but does not do what it is supposed to do. When I copy paragraph from the Internet into a document, it is pasted in all the original formatting, even though the Option is expressly states "Text only". Coupled with the formatting brush that is not working properly this is a time-consuming nuisance. 

How do I alphabetize a list of Hyperlinks without losing the links?

With a modicum of success, I can create most of what I want but the process is tedious.

I can copy/place each one but the list is long.
When they were copied into Excel to sort them and copy/paste back to the document but they seem to lose the link.
I tried several "Paste Special" options but they did not seem to work.



Formatting brush is not working

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 10:55 AM PST

The formatting brush has been working about 20% of the time. Even if I double-click it, it gets lost on the way to the paragraph that needs to be modified. I started having this problem a couple of years ago with the 2007 version and now I have the same problem with the 2010 version. Even when I manage to have the cursor turned into a brush, it either gets lost on the way to the paragraph I need to modify or does not change it at all. At least in the old version I did manage to have it modified when I was able to bring the brush over to the new paragraph, but not in the new one.

Word 2010/ new doc:

1) Pick format "Title" (from the standard formats included in word 0210) and write: "Printer test".
2) Select the written text and change font to calibri, bold
3) Insert a image in png format somewhere in page or make a screen clipping.
4) Make a page break and pick font calibri, bold, and write something on page 2 (make page break or something if necessary).

If i print this on a ps-printer all of the lower case letter "o" (not upper case "O") is printed as a question mark in square (the letter used when printer can't  write the chosen letter).

As far as I understand it, the problem is connected to kerbering Calibri when there is a png image in the document. I picked format "title" because it has kerbering activated by default. Somehow it effects the text on page 2. I have other results as well but the missing bold lower case o:s is the strangest one i have found.

Also see other maybe related problem with image in document when printing: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/text-disappears-when-image-placed-on-page-bizarre/1af75a8e-f11d-441a-b2c5-649963669215

It will be interesting to hear if anyone else out there get this result!

Cannot open Word document due to dialog box

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 07:04 AM PST

When I try to open up a word document with Microsoft Word 2013 this message comes up: "Word can't do this because dialog box is open. Please close dialog box to continue". This message does not appear when I open any other Microsoft Office application.
I can't see a dialog box and so cannot close it.  I have read that changing settings in Norton can resolve the problem, however I don't have Norton. Is there another solution to this?

Thanks

Cannot Open Office Attachments From the Web

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 06:50 AM PST

I have Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 on several new computers. I can open Word and Excel documents from a flash drive with no problems. When ever I try to open a Word or Excel document from the web, (email attachment or Moodle website) it will not open. Excel gives a memory error and Word only says it cannot open the file. I saved a Word attachment to a folder and it still would not open.

What's the most portable way to easily allow users to add a letterhead to a Word document?

Posted: 28 Jan 2014 12:56 AM PST

I would like to find a way to allow users to easily add a letterhead (some text and a logo) to pre-existing Microsoft Word documents. Methods I have considered have been macros, templates, and quick-parts, although I am looking into other solutions. We have a central SharePoint site so ideally the solution would be easily accessible and share-able through a SharePoint document library - that is, easy to bundle up and easy for a user to install.  Any help would be appreciated - I'm not exactly a Microsoft Word power user!

Why Is Word Crashing?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:25 PM PST

Hi, I am running Word 2010 on Windows Vista (64-bit), Intel Core2Duo T9900 w/ 4 GB RAM. Although all my other Office applications seem to be running fine, Word seems to be having a difficulty doing anything (even saving) when I am connected to my home network.

When I am at school/work, things seem to run OK. I can edit/save long documents containing multiple ChemDraw images and generally do everything I usually do.

Recently, when I am back at home, Word just crashes whenever I try to do anything. 
--If I download an attachment and try to "enable editing," Word stops, "spins," and then crashes. 
--When I try to save any changes to the same long document as mentioned above, the same thing happens. 
--If I try to cut or paste anything externally (aside from small paragraphs of text from other docx files), the crashing continues. 

Sometimes it will save if you give it long enough (20 minutes or so), but I generally don't have the patience for that, so I close the program (which "is not responding"). As I said above, the rest of Office seems to be working great, and I have never had an issue with anything like this before.

Copying table cell wraps the cell content in square brackets that I cannot remove

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 10:16 PM PST

When I select the contents of a table cell and copy it, Word 2013 puts square brackets around the cell contents and I cannot find any way to remove them. Picture shows an example. Hiding paragraph marks and other non-printing characters does not get rid of them. They do not print, but nonetheless I feel that they should not be there. Any idea what causes them and how to prevent them?

Fill in field for protected document

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 06:26 PM PST

I created a protected document in Word 2007 which had three fields I could tab to. Into these fields I would enter names and dates as appropriate. I am now using Word 2013. I screwed up the document and tried to fix it but I do not know how to do it in W13. I need to be able to open the document, tab to the first field and enter my client's name, tab to the second field to enter a date, and a third field for the client's name again. These are the only changes I allow in this document. I seem to be able to protect and unprotect the document alright, but I cannot inset a text field. (I am not sure I am even using the right terms here!)

WORD PROGRAMME - Locked-in Capitals

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 05:23 PM PST

While using WORD for a long document I must have inadvertently touched the wrong key or something because my typing suddenly changed to all capitals (what was already typed remained OK as upper and lower case) and will not revert to upper and lower case - just stays on capitals!!  It's not the CAPS LOCK key (I don't think it is anyway) but I can't find my way out of it. It's only when on WORD this applies - when on emails or other programmes it's normal. Please advise

Associating H2s with Table Captions?

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 04:48 PM PST

I'm wondering if there is a way to associate H2s with tables that follow them. Here's the problem: The H2s I use to identify tables show up in my table of contents as I want, but if tables wrap to another page, the H2 does not repeat along with the table. So, there's the remainder of the table on the following page without any identification of what it is (except for the proximity to the previous page).

To get around this, I had thought I could insert an extra table header to identify the table that would wrap to subsequent pages. Needless to say, this wraps  just fine, but now the table of contents doesn't see the table names (which were formerly identified by the H2s).

Another workaround I tried is to insert H2s directly into the table heading, but of course, the font and margins are enourmous--but they do show up in my table of contents. Related to this, I created a new style based on H2 that I had hoped would show up in the table of contents, but I can't seem to get it to show up. I can see this style in the table of contents editor (it is on the same level as the regular H2), and this special style is picked up in the table of contents as an H2 when it's outside tables--just not when it appears inside the table. Am I missing some steps in this solution?

Can anyone think of other creative ways for me to to have my cake an eat it too: to have table headers/captions show up both in the table of contents and have them repeat at the tops of tables that wrap from page-to-page?

I should mention that I don't think regular Word table captions are appropriate because they seem to follow a pattern of "Name" and "Number"--neither of which seem appropriate for my tables and their names.

Word 2013 formatting

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 03:59 PM PST

Greetings. 

I'm trying to achieve something for a few days now. 
In the picture below, on the first two captions I marked (4 times in red) the areas that I'd like to have coloured in black, and on the third I drew how I want it to look. 

As you can see from the printscreen, it is an automatic style-managed formatting that I'm using for those captions, and I want to, whenever that "caption" style is applied, that those areas are coloured black. 
Note: captioned text spacing, tabs and indent should remain the same - the only difference I want is those areas in black. 

Any ideas on how to achieve that? 

File and Image Size Issues

Posted: 27 Jan 2014 03:44 PM PST

I'm working in a huge, 750+ page document that has been split into multiple sections. I have created figures, each in their own individual document, and inserted them into their appropriate section. One of my goals is to determine the size of the document without the figures. The other goal is to determine what causes the computer to crash, whether it's the document size or something else. The computer frequently crashes even with the smaller, split sections, and I'm having trouble figuring out if the documents exceed the maximum text limit of 32 MB. The total size of the sections with figures is 121.40 MB, but the total size of the figures alone (in their individual state) is 248.37 MB. Why is this? How do I know if the figures were compressed when I copy and pasted them into the sections? Is there a way to calculate the size of the figures vs. the size of the text without moving anything around?

Thank you!

I'm on the other side of the coin, wishing there was a fairly basic
version of Office for the average person with the basics in word

can't think of a thing I do now which I couldn't do then except for
entering the commands graphically rather than with a command line type

Anyway, I was astounded the first time I saw the Windows version of the
Home and Student Office and found no pim/e-mail BUT Notes instead. I
had to wonder how many students did NOT want or need a PIM and e-mail
program. I had hoped, when I moved to Macs and found that we home users
at least got some sort of pim/e-mail program that it would continue. ;-(

Hello!
I have a Mac Book Pro (still a novice mac user) and installed Office

book pro yesterday and I installed my office software onto it as I
thought I had up to 3 licenses but every time I open it up on his
computer it states:

"An office program is being used by Ski Tamarack. Your Installation
exceeds then number of installations permitted by the license
agreement. Click More Information to go online to learn about
Microsoft Office Licensing"

When they say 3 licenses, does this mean networked computers? We are
not networked.

I have two sleeves in my software box, one for Office for Mac Media
Addition AND Office Mac. Each one has a different product key. I tried
to follow the instructions on how to delete a product key by getting
rid of the Product key so I can try another one but that is not
working. It makes me delete these OfficePIDlplist??? files. I trashed
them, empty trash and then restart. then when I open word (or any
office program) then the set up assistant is suppose to start up so I
can enter a new product code. Yeah, that's not working. And I don't
know how to delete an entire program honestly for a mac.


I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks!

Will there be a 2008->2010 upgrade?

Posted: 04 Jun 2010 01:53 AM PDT

In the past the education edition (now known as 'Home & Student') has been
eligible for upgrade to the 'standard' edition, but not to a new version of
the education edition. What the policy will be for Office 2011 has not yet
been announced, but I doubt that it will change... As Jim said, that's a
part of the reason why the education version is significantly cheaper than
any of the other editions of the version.

I suggest not removing Office 2004 until you have Office 2008 up and running. THEN delete using &quot;Remove Office&quot; .
