  • 1. Running Office 2003 and 2007 on the same machine?
    My laptop (which runs Vista and Office 2007) requires major service and I will not have access to it for a few weeks. Therefore I need to work on my desktop, which runs XP and Office 2003. I would prefer to keep working in Office 2007, since my documents are in docx and I am now more comfortable in 2007. Since I uninstalled 2007 from my laptop, can I safely install it on my desktop without removing Office 2003? My wifd wants to keep working in 2003. I have read on the Microsoft site that there are potential conflicts running 2003 and 2007 on the same machine. Since we have separate user accounts, Is there a way to simply have 2007 on my user account, and 2003 on my wife's account? Thanks, Richard
  • 2. Word font problems
    Hi, I installed OfficeXP and Word fonts will not work. Excel allows me to select and use all fonts that are installed in the directory \windows\fonts, but Word only shows about 10 fonts, none of them being the usual "Times new roman' or 'Arial', etc. I reinstalled the software but still the same problem. On checking again, PowerPoint has the same problem so only Excel has fonts working. Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated, I already lost 4 hours trying to reinstall, what a waste unfortunately. Thanks, Rod
  • 3. Office 2007. Word Spell Checker asks for Office 2000 installation
    Hi all. I used to run Office 2000 but uninstalled it and installed Office 2007. When I run Word the Spell Checker does not function. When I try to run it, the computer tries to install it and then asks for the Office 2000 installation disks. I insert the Office 2000 disks but then it then says it can't find the MSI file. I have downloaded and installed the following but there is no difference latest version of the MSI file Office 2007 Service Pack 1 Word 2007 update (KB934173) I have scanned my hard disk for any remaining office 2000 files. In Add/Remove programs there is a option showing Microsoft Office 2000 but no remove option. I have also noticed when I enter several websites, it asks for the Office 2000 installation disks. Any ideas anyone will be most gratefully appreciated.
  • 4. Re-downloading Ultimate
    I purchased ultimate steal and loaded it my on computer. Later, my computer crashed. Where do I go to reload it? I also ordered a back up cd/dvd that never showed up. How do I track it down. -- Big Red
  • 5. Print screen key not working
    I used to be able to press the PrtScn key on my keyboard and whatever was on my screen would automatically print on my printer immediately. It has stopped doing this. I do know how to alt/prtscrn and paste, but I like to just press the key. Thanks, dk

Office settings mixed up on terminal server

Postby d291dGVy » Fri, 26 Nov 2004 00:09:02 GMT

On my Windows 2003 terminal server, the user profiles get mixed up. Since 
the installation of a post SP3 patch for OfficeXP (Q832332), I experience the 
following:

When I open, close a Word document, the documents I opened are shown in the 
"recent documents list" of my colleque. Also auto recovery documents created 
for me are shown in his Word.

Further more. The inof I add in userinformation in Word is added to my 
colleque's settings. So I mean: in Word, Tools, Options, User information.

It looks like we use the same normal.dot. But we both specified a diffirent 
location through settings in Word. (tools, options, file locations)

I have reinstalled Office but that didnt work. Also i deleted our (roaming) 
profiles and then reinstalled Office. And that didnt work either.

Thanks.

1.Office 2000 settings on a terminal server

I have 2 different issues with Office 2000 running on a 
Windows 2000 terminal server:

First:  We have loaded the office suite on the server and 
each individual is left to setup their own instance of 
each of the programs to match their needs but on several 
occasions this has not worked.  We have several users that 
no matter what happens, always get the default 
configurations everytime they login(it saves no settings 
at all)  This particularly applies to the excel addins.  I 
have tried deleting and recreating profiles but it does 
not work.  Any ideas?

Second:  When having to delete and recreate a profile, one 
of the major complaints of the users is that these settings
(applies to the users that settings actually save) aren't 
carried over to their new profiles, does anyone know where 
these settings are saved and if they can be moved to the 
new profiles?

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

2.Setting Default Printer on Terminal Server

I am having a problem setting the default printer running in Terminal
Server without Administrative privileges.

Using Word Automation, when I set activepriner to a printer (which
does exist, no run=time error), it doesn't change.

When I  use the windows API, when I use WriteProfileString("windows",
"Device", strDeviceName), it does reset the registry but I have a
feeling that the following is not working:

SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0, ByVal "windows")

because the default printer in the Control Panel's Printers app (or
any other application) never changes. Is this a security issue? Is
there any way around it? Even putting up a printers dialog box and
using SendInput to send keys to change the printer.

3.Email mix ups

I have an email account that allows 5 separate email addresses. Whn i sign in 
as one name the second one occasionally sends out the email, which means i 
don't get replies when people hit return, so i recently drop the naughty 
email nem of my systme, but it still is putting itself as the sender of the 
emails, and ofciurse i can't even log in as it any more to see if I have 
responses

Any ideas?

4.Setting Outlook 2002 Auto Archive path with .PRF file on Terminal Server

Hi all,

I'm using Outlook 2002 on a Windows 2000 Terminal Server farm.
Outlook profiles are generated using PRF files, and this works without any
problems.

The only problem we have, is that we have found no working method of setting
the Auto Archive file name and path during the profile generation. In
Outlook 2000 this was done using psetting AutoArchiveFileName< in the PRF file.
Outlook by default places this file in the lokal

I've tried to mimic this behaviour in the Outlook 2002 PRF without any luck.
I've made the following changes in the PRF file :

1. Uncommented the "ServiceX=Microsoft Outlook Client" line in the [Service
List] section.
2. Added the following to Section 4 of the file :
   [ServiceX]
   AutoArchiveFileName=G:\Exchange\archive.pst
3. Added the following line to the [Microsoft Outlook Client] part of
Section 6 :
    AutoArchiveFileName=PT_STRING8,0x0324

Can someone please help me with this problem?
