I checked with someone. It is not possible to install Office 2007 again
from the cached copies of the setup files in the MSOCache folder.

Sorry

Office 2007 Pricing Guide-Student/Teacher Edition

Posted: 01 Nov 2006 05:52 PM PST

Well, many people also get Outlook with their PDAs or SmartPhones, which is where Microsoft may be seeing their business grow. Besides, if you really want Outlook, purchasing a standalone version from Amazon.com (usually $20-30 dollar discount) may be worth it to those folks who really want Outlook.

Microsoft research has shown that many home users do not need Outlook and are happy with OUtlook Express for their mail needs. Plus, Microsoft Works has a calendar which is what a lot of folks use Outlook for.

Can I apply the SBME upgrade directly to my Standard Office Ed?

Posted: 01 Nov 2006 10:59 AM PST

Hi Rowan,

The Office 2006 Small Business Management Edition is the MS Office 2003 Professional Edition plus the Office 2006 Small Business
Accounting Edition. All of the Office 2003 apps from the standard edition are already included.

What you may want to check is to see if you're showing both Office 2003 Professional Edition and Office 2003 Standard Edition after
installing the new product. The standard edition should no longer be needed.

Be sure to back up all of your files before installing/upgrading any software package that can affect you getting your tasks done.

Office 2003 upgrade from Office 97 question

Posted: 31 Oct 2006 10:28 AM PST

Hi Dennis,

If 'they' are the same users you upgraded before and you're moving them to a new machine, you should be able to reuse the Office 97
+ Office 2003 upgrade 'sets' to install. You'll need the Office 97 and Office 2003 CDs for each set to meet the licensing
requirements.

If you're installing for new users, then to meet the licensing qualification you would need one Office 97 licensed CD set plus Once
Office 2003 licensed CD upgrade set for each user, or use a Full Package Product (non-upgrade) edition of Office 2003.

Note that Technology Guarantee program for Office 2007 started Oct 26th according to a Microsoft Press articles, although there
don't appear to be details on their website yet. In the past, a technology guarantee would allow a free/discounted upgrade from one
generation of Office to the next generation Office for product purchased during a specific time frame.

I attempted to use "Open With" but I could not associate Word 2007 with

Please explain the relation between task type & effort driven.

Posted: 29 May 2005 06:26 PM PDT

In addition to the advice to check out Mike's site, remember that the Effort
Driven setting only has an effect when you're adding or taking away bodies
from the task resource assignment. If I have a task and already have one or
more resources assigned to it, the effort driven setting will control what
happens if I add another resource. If it's effort driven, the task duration
will shrink but the total man-hours stays the same. If it's non-effort
driven, the duration will stay the same but the total man-hours of work
required will go up. And the opposite occurs if I'm taking away resources
instead of adding them.

Task type controls what happens when you edit existing resource assignments
without adding to or taking away from the actual number of resources
assigned. It controls which one of the three terms in the resource
equation, Work=Duration*Units, you're want Project to hold constant when you
change one of the other two remaining terms for one or more of the resources
who are assigned.

Paul,
There are a couple of methods for saving custom bar styles. One, create

Organizer (Tools/Organizer) to save the custom view(s) into your Global.
A second similar approach is to create a project template that has all

I used to do the following in this case (although I am using MS Project

1. I PDF file with Acrobat.
2. I use Solid Converter PDF to convert to MS Word.

It gives you the clarity of Word when printing a text lines, yet preserving
the bars and formatting (especially when grouped, with color lines).

Probably it is not the best solution, but I guess converting Word files into
other MS programs is heaps easier then PDF files.

Do you have any other rules or custom apps making activities for cases? If
you have multiple rules for cases, you can use the workflow monitor to see
what is happening, or simply deactivate all other rules for a while and see
if you can get the one rule to work. If you do not have other rules, I can't

In this particular case I found out when we were issued a rollup hotfix that was
for several different issues. One of the things fixed was allowing the $0 price
per unit.

Unfortunately, the hotfixes are not widely publicized. Usually, you need to
open a support ticket and if there is a hotfix for that issue, they will provide
it to you.

How can I show Fields from the Contract Form on the Case Form ?

Unfortunately, you can't.

Mappings only impact the initial creation of a record when it is created "from"
another record. Cases aren't created "from" a Contract so the mapping will
never fire.

You could do something with workflow & a PostURL action or a post-Callout to
process this update though if you really need it.

Users from child business unit is having trouble accessing the crm

Posted: 04 Jan 2005 06:13 AM PST

Hi Ann,

See the time this posted, and I bet the problem has resolved on its own???

If you have data in MSCRM and you create a new role and then assign users
immediately they will be denied access in the way you describe. This is
because MSCRM has to re-write the "security descriptor" column on every
record in your DB to accommodate your new role.

You can see in your CRM Server Event log when the process is complete (an
event is written at completion).

Best practice is not to add a new role and relate users to it during
production time. TTYL. Linda

this client offline. Same error message "An unknown error has
occurred. Retry the action. If the problem
persists, contact your system administrator."

CRM & IBF: Doesn't pull tags properly

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 06:31 AM PST

oooh boy. I guess I'll have to 'tilt at windmills' then.

Since I posted, I've done a few things:
- I've figured out how to customize the document with a letterhead. It's
just a Word doc for things like that <grin>
- When opened outside of CRM there is a smart tag called
"CompanyNameSmartTag" that doesn't connect to anything. :(

I think a call to MS is going to be in order.

Error in Event Viewer

It is defintely possible that ISA caused some problems. One relatively easy
thing to try would be to uninstall CRM (just the app, not the databases). Then,
you can re-install it by pointing to the existing DB'a & AD hierarchy (vs.
creating new ones). This would let the install try to make things right on the
CRM server again if ISA changed something on you.

adding another options into field in the workflow manager

Posted: 03 Jan 2005 05:21 AM PST

At that point in your workflow you can point to another manual rule that says
if the status is "On Hold" then wait 15 days and fire another rule. The next
rule would say "If status equals In Progress, then create task (sales rep
confirms status of case), else send email to manager."

I've found that for a lot of these situations it is easiest for me to design
my workflow using several rules that check a condition and then perform an
action. The rules all get called in order and move to the next rule if the
condition is met or the time has expired.

By the way, CRM workflow currently does not recognize date functions...

All Office Apps Work Except Word 2013

Posted: 07 May 2014 11:06 AM PDT

It has been months since I have able to properly use MS Word 2013 on my home computer. I purchased Office Home & Student 2013 in January, and have been having problems with Word since February.

I have repaired (the quick and the long repair), uninstalled and reinstalled Office, checked for Add-Ons (there are none, disabled or otherwise), checked the box next to "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" under Options-->Advanced, tried to reset my computer to a earlier version, installed all available updates, etc. NOTHING works.

The other applications open immediately, but Word does not open fully. The application shows on the bar at the base of my computer screen, but does not open fully. The application functions (fully opens) in Safe mode (which is how I checked for add-ons) but the window refuses to open fully when I attempt to start Word normally. No error messages appear.

I have been searching through threads for months. Unless someone has a fix that WORKS, I am going to have to demand my money back from Microsoft. I bought Office 2013 SPECIFICALLY because Word is an application I use daily. To not have had access to it all this time on my home computer has been beyond ridiculous. What's even more frustrating is that I never had these problems with Windows 7. It just seems to be the "joy" of Windows 8 and Office 2013 that leave me ready to tear my hair out.

Solutions BEYOND what I've already tried would be appreciated.

Word Doc file size inflated exponentially

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:56 AM PDT

Hi all,

A few of my colleagues have been working on a Word Doc file over the past month. A few weeks ago, the file size inflated exponentially;  there was limited content added to the file before this occurred. 

I have no real insight as to why this happened. We tried several things to shrink the file size, but nothing seems to work effectively enough. I think the problem may have something to do with the way the file is being saved, a corrupted picture or chart, or because it has been worked on in both Word 2007 and Word 2013 and emailed back and forth between internal and external contacts. I have "checked for issues" in Word 2013, but have little luck identifying the problem(s). The file has retained the same "doc" file extension. 

The enormous file size has made editing the document cumbersome because we are unable to email it to some folks, particularly those with .gov email domains. 

Thoughts?

Blank Word Document Template

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Hi Guys

I inherited a PC and I'm running Office Pro 2013. For some reason when I open Word from the list of templates, the "Blank Document" Template's format is all over the place. I thought I'd just save a new "blank" .dotx template but I cannot seem to overwrite the template that appears in the list. Can anyone tell me how I either overwrite that template or replace it in the list of templates?

Word 2013 and Greek keyboard

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:29 AM PDT

I have a document that I need to add Greek letters to. Like the Greek letter for alpha.  Does this font come preinstalled in Word 2013? If so, how do I switch to it.  If not can you tell me what I need to do to get the Greek alphabet in Word.  I am a basic Word user, nothing real fancy.

Word 2010 table formatting

Posted: 07 May 2014 10:13 AM PDT

I've set up a customized table in Word 2010 with a specific font and text centered horizontally and vertically.  When I copy cells from an Excel table and paste them into the word table, my table formatting is lost even when I choose Keep Text Only.  These are the steps I've tried to address this:

  1. I've create a style to easily reapply table text formatting.  This works for the font and centering the text horizontally except I can't figure out how to define the style to center text vertically.
  2. I've tried different combinations of copy and paste settings and smart cut and paste settings
  3. I've tried modifying the table style settings

Do you have any additional ideas I can try?

Change the background color of a single page?

Posted: 07 May 2014 09:13 AM PDT

Hi all,

 Is it possible to change the background colour of a single page within Microsoft Word 2010?

 I have a document which requires the final/back page to be a different color from the rest of the document. I have tried using section breaks, but this has no effect and changes the background color of the entire document.

As an alternative, I could just create a shape/text box, color it and then drag it to fit the final page, but this isn't an ideal solution.

Many thanks,

Kyle

References in Office 365

Posted: 07 May 2014 08:28 AM PDT

I am having a problem with references in Office 365.  Some of my references are coming out as follows:

(Baumrind D. , Current patterns of parental authority., 1971)

Note that the title is in the middle of the citation. On the preview area in Source Manager, the citation looks fine in the Master List but when inserted into a document, it has the problem shown above.  I also noticed that the list for the current document has the citation error even though it was copied from the Master List.  It seems to work properly until you add citations to the Master List of the same author with a different date.  For example, (Baumrind, 1967) works great until you add (Baumrind, 1971).  I discovered this when I inserted (Creswell, 2009). With one entry of the author Creswell, the citation was fine. When I entered (Creswell, 2012), I had the same error: a title in the middle of the citation

 I know that you can fix the citation by clicking on the citation, choosing edit citation from the dialog box, and then checking the suppress title option.  What I don't understand is why some citations are as they should be (Author, Date) and others are not.  I have compared the fields on citations that are correct with citations that are not, and I just cannot find a problem with my data entry.  

Any suggestions on a fix would be most appreciated.

Macro to find whether a named style is used on the current page

Posted: 07 May 2014 07:08 AM PDT

Trying to write a macro for Word 2010 that will detect whether a specific style (called "Heading 1,UM H1") is used for any of the text on the current page. Here is my attempt. It doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Sub DetectUMH1Style()

    ' Select current page
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Select
   
    ' Search for target style
    TargetStyle = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1,UM H1")
    MsgBox ("Target style name = '" & TargetStyle & "'")
    Selection.Find.Style = TargetStyle
    Selection.Find.Execute
   
    If Selection.Find.Found = True Then
        MsgBox ("At least one instance of target style found")
    Else
        MsgBox ("No instances of target style found")
    End If

End Sub

Word 2013 Consistently and Randomly Crashing

Posted: 07 May 2014 06:33 AM PDT

Good day everybody


I sincerely hope that someone here can advise me how to get rid of this extremely annoying error which has totally incapacitated Word 2013 on my PC for months on end. I am yet to find a permanent solution, though scouring the Internet. Those solutions that I did find during these searches, failed to return the desired results.


In short, the error boils down to this: I would be typing away merrily, and the next thing I know am presented with the familiar "Microsoft Word has stopped working" error flag, offering the choice to either look online for a solution, or close the program. Shortly before posting this message, I typed a letter in another application, the text of which I copied and then pasted into a Word document, but Word summarily crashed. This is the applicable error message for it:


Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:    APPCRASH
  Application Name:    WINWORD.EXE
  Application Version:    15.0.4605.1001
  Application Timestamp:    5328ef0c
  Fault Module Name:    KERNELBASE.dll
  Fault Module Version:    6.1.7601.18229
  Fault Module Timestamp:    51fb1677
  Exception Code:    e06d7363
  Exception Offset:    000000000000940d

  Locale ID:    7177

Additional information about the problem:
  LCID:    1033

If my memory serves me correctly, the foregoing is exactly the same error message I have seen during previous Word-crashes.

Thank you sincerely for any assistance you are able to give.

Spell Check suggests American spelling in UK English document

Posted: 07 May 2014 04:29 AM PDT

In this example, the document is UK English but Word flags a UK English word as being in error, and recommends the American spelling.

Louvre is correct for UK English, whereas louver is the correct American spelling.

Why does Word (Office 365) on iPad not have an option to save documents locally?

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:53 AM PDT

I was one of those people who was really excited when Word became available on the iPad, but have since become rather disappointed at the many missing features.

for example, there are many reasons why one may need to work offline, the most common being lack of internet access which is still rather variable in availability. Unfortunately, with Word on an iPad, you can't.

I am going to be taking minutes at a meeting tomorrow and will have to use another app because Word won't allow me to use a pre-prepared document (eg with names of previous attendees, document heading, etc).

Other writing apps on the iPad can do this (Pages, iA Writer, Swiftkey, Penultimate, and more), so why can't Word?

Is there any way to replace single quote marks with double quote marks?

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:37 AM PDT

I have a document I am editing which uses single quotation marks and I want to replace them with double quotation marks. Speech marks if you will.

There is some discussion on other forums about this, but no apparent straightforward way to do this, without several slow, painstaking Find and Replace steps.

Here is an example which illustrates one of the problems with a simple Find and Replace, as the apostrophe would also get changed.

'Better eat up,' he said quietly, 'we've got a lot to talk about.'


needs to be:

"Better eat up," he said quietly, "we've got a lot to talk about."

Any ideas? Is there some Woerd functionality to deal with this? After all, Word does understand straight quotes and curly quotes...

This item might not exist or is no longer available

Anyway they can be removed?

Word 2010: Displaying page number of next instance of text in a specific style

Posted: 07 May 2014 03:00 AM PDT

In Word 2010 what's the best way to find the next instance of text using a specific style and display the page number it is on?

The field code STYLEREF will find the text but I can't see how to determine which page it is on. The field code PAGEREF will display page numbers but it needs a bookmark to work from. Is there a way to translate styles into bookmarks? The style I'm searching for is part of a structure of numbered headings and I know that Word inserts hidden bookmarks for numbered items, so is that something I can make use of?

The reason for this question is that I need to suppress running headers on the first page of every chapter of a document. I cannot simply use the Different First Page option for headers because there are many section breaks in this document inserted for reasons other than starting a new chapter (e.g. changing number of columns part way through a chapter or changing the widths of columns part way through a chapter), and I cannot delete them without messing up other aspects of the document.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Word 2010 - Missing "Action Buttons" shapes

Posted: 07 May 2014 01:53 AM PDT

However this seems to have disappeared from Word 2010 (and the other Office programs as well)

 Has anyone an  idea why or whether there I can find an effective replacement for these in Word 2010??

Not able to hide built in styles in Word

Posted: 07 May 2014 12:41 AM PDT

Hi Experts

I have create a template in Word 2007 setting up my own styles and adjusting some of the built in styles. That part works as intended. However it seems that I am not able to hide/get rid of the built in "insert table" styles in my template, e.g. Table Grid, Light Shading, Light List etc.

If I go to Manage Styles and select the Recommend tab the buttons for changing priority and visibilty are all greyed out. How do I then get the styles out of my template so they do not appear in the Apply Style dialog?

I can of course rename the template to .zip and remove the styles from the Styles.xml file - but I am not really sure what might be affected by this.

Help - Headings picking up Word default lists!

Posted: 06 May 2014 09:35 PM PDT

I create templates in all versions of Word.

For some reason when some templates are used the inbuilt Heading styles (which have no numbering) pick up one of the default Word list styles, such as 'Article' or the '1.'. 

This has now happened on three of my sites in the last week, all using different .doc/.docx's and Word 2010 - Word 2013.

I don't think it is the users saving the templates or auto update or anything like that, I've been working in styles for 7 years and haven't seen this before. 

Has anyone else found this?!?! What is causing it?!?!

Word - Shortcut to automatically Insert "A" Field

Posted: 06 May 2014 09:15 PM PDT

Hi All,

   I am trying to create a template for my users to use with per-populated fields from SharePoint. This is not the problem...

   What I would like to do, is have a shortcut (or icon/menu/whatever) to insert a certain field instead of the user having to every time go to Insert -> Quick Parts -> etc.

    I tried to record a macro of this, but the macro came up empty :( ... not sure if there is a command/VBA script/way to get this to be automated.

    I have only been able to insert document fields .. but not sharepoint fields :( using the below code, which doesn't help, because it means I have to update the CustomerName field in Word with the one in SharePoint everytime I open the doco, and also if someone changes the Name in Word, I need to be able to reflect this, which gets too complicated...

Sub Insert_CustomerName()
'
' Insert_CustomerName Macro
'
'

 Selection.TypeText ("Customer Name=")
 Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldDocProperty, Text:="CustomerName"
 
End Sub

Thanks

Word 2013 freezes when trying to use Find & Replace

Can't find anything relating to this particular issue... any suggestions?

MS Word 2010 (Windows) - Document Personalization

Posted: 06 May 2014 05:14 PM PDT

I have a long document (around 105 A4 pages)  which can be thought of a specification document. Its purpose is to describe all the settings for a customer organization across a number of the systems that we are to configure for them. So it has the 'customer name' throughout as placeholder text. Currently the consultants who use the document do a search-and-replace for every instance of 'customer name' with the actual name when they adapt the document for an actual customer.

I would like to automate this step. So I thought about inserting 'client' as a document property field, and then entering the customer name as a Value in the field. That works, but it means the consultants have to know where the Advanced Properties panel is, and how to  update the Value field, then Select All and Update Field Entries. In other words, it is no easier that 'search and replace'.

So I thought I could write a macro (document already has several) which copies from a source field and automatically replaces every instance of 'customer name' with the real name using Search and Replace. So the consultant could then enter the real customer name in a particular place - say, a table cell in the 'How to Use this Document' page - and then click a button which does a Search and Replace.

Is this do-able? How would you tell Word to enter the value in that cell and copy it into the Replace With field in the Advanced Search box?

Or is there some other way to do it?

Any tips gratefully received.

Recently Used Fonts not displaying initially in drop down box

Posted: 06 May 2014 03:52 PM PDT

Since starting with Office 365, I have noticed that Word, Publisher & OneNote do not display Recently Used Fonts in the drop down box when choosing a font.  See image below so you know what I am talking about. 


In office 2010, I used to be able to click on font and the recently used fonts was always the first thing displayed and then you could scroll down to choose another font if need be.  Now, when clicking on font, I am automatically taken to Calibri and I have to scroll back up to the recently used fonts.  It's more annoying and time consuming really, but is anyone else having this issue and found out what to do?  I have called tech support and the only answer they had was to change the default font.  


When selecting a font I get this above & have to scroll up,  ......  

I want this.  The recently used fonts to be at the top of the font drop down box.
