How to activate only Outlook 2007 after using Office 2007 trial? The activation dialogue box says to delete other components in Add/remove software but there I seem to have the option of deleting all Office (not selected applications). The trial site offers no help that I can find. I thought it would save time to do this online - do I have to go down to a store and buy the disk (and just delete the whole trial office including Outlook?). TIA for any help.. Don - 4. Academic Licensing
Our son will be starting college in the fall, and we want to buy him a laptop. We would like to put Office 2007 Pro Academic Edition on it for him. Is it possible to get a 3rd license on an academic version? The reason we need 3...His laptop at school, the desktop at his mom's house (where he lives) and the desktop here (where he stays several days a month).

Yep, I've got the same problem with a secondary user account. If I double-click on a file in my account it opens fine without any install running. I'm the one that installed Office 2000 Pro. The other user gets that install dialog and eventually word/excel etc. but no file. Once the program is open loading the file is fine. I tried increasing the user rights as suggested in Microsoft's Knowledgebase but that did not work. I tried reinstalling Office under the other user's account, but that did not fix the problem. I also would liek to know what is causing this problem.

I was able to fix it by uninstalling office 2000 from Add/remove programs, deleting the following registry entries: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0 And then installed office again and everything is fine now. Apparently Office 2000 has problems when running in multi-user systems.

2.problem opening up Word when double clicking on files to open
I am using Office 2000, with Win 2000 Pro O/S. I typically open files by double clicking on them in Win Explorer or on the desktop. I am now having a problem opening docs in Word, let me explain: When I double click to open a file created in Word, I get a grey dialog box with the "X" in the red circle. The message in the box says "Cannot find the file [filename] (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." If I open Word and then open the file from within Word, no problem. I can still open other files by the double click method, eg, Excel, PDF, MP3, WAV, etc. If Word is already open, however, and I double click to open a new file, I do not get this error, and it successfully opens the new file. Also, if I click on a Word doc e-mail attachment icon in Outlook, I get a dialog box with exclamation mark in yellow triangle that says "The system cannot find the file specified." This seems like a Win Explorer issue, although it only happens with Word files. I started having this problem over the weekend on an installation that is 2 years old, very robust, and has never seen a problem like this. Thanks for your help.
3.Double-clicking .xls file opens Excel but doesn't open the file
A user was trying to print a directory list of Excel files not know that the command would try to open each file and print it. He cancelled the job through Task Manager. Now when he tries to open an Excel file (.xls) by double-clicking on it, the Excel application opens but the file does not. File can be opened by clicking on "File", "Open" and selecting the file. Why won't it open when double-clicking? Thanks.
4.Problem opening Excel by double clicking on a file shortcut
When I double click on a an excel file (which is supposed to open Excel), it starts to load Excel then I get an 'encountered an error' and has to close window. I do not get this problem on my other office documents (Word, PowerPoint). When I send the error report, Excel will then continue to load, but will not load the file I clicked on (I've tried .xlsx and .xls file types). If Excel is loaded without a file it loads as it should and then I can go in and Open->File and it works. Also, if Excel is already open (in the background) and I navigate via Windows Explorer to an excel file and then double click on the file, it opens properly. Therefore the error is only happening when Excel is being started by Windows by opening a file with the associated file type.
5.Problem when opening a file by double-click
Just upgraded from Office 2003 to 2007. When I try to open an existing Word or Excel file by double-clicking the file, Word or Excel opens up but the file doesn't display. As soon as I click on the Button, the file then displays...but of course, the Button menu opens as well, forcing me to press Escape to get rid of it. Why doesn't the file just display? I don't seem to have the issue with PowerPoint, but only Word or Excel. It happens no matter which version of the app the file was saved in. I don't believe there's a setting for this kind of thing.
