My computer came with MS Office 2003 Basic installed. I bought MS Office 2003 Small Business "upgrade" software, but it won't allow me to install, because it is looking for Office 97 or 2000 and can't find it. How can I upgrade from Basic to Small Business with the package I bought? -- synergytfelice

Hi Database Ben, Thank you for choosing Microsoft Online Support Service. From the information provided in your problem description, I understand that you get error "outlook and word could not create work file. check temp environment." Whenever Outlook is opened.

Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders\ 3. In the right pane, double-click Cache 4. In Value Data field, type C:\Windows\temp and then click OK. 5. Exit Registry Editor. 6. Restart the Computer. 7. Open Outlook and then confirm the resolution. -- db..<><))) DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces tags: work file, workfile - 2. prevent users from editing custom dictionary
I need to lock down a set of terms and word conventions in a custom dictionary for the whole company with only 1 person allowed to edit it, Me. How can I prevent any user from changing/adding/deleting anything in the custom.dic file. I have mostly 2007/2003 office on XP in a non windows domain network. - 3. I had to install a new profile on my computer -- then problems
After I installed the new profile on my computer Office will not load properly. I have legal copies and I can get updates easily and the Office is verified by Microsoft vaildation tool. Seems like it does not think that the new profile should be able to open office correctely. what can i do? -- Al - 4. Outlook 2003 cannot receive emails
I've been using Outlook 2003 w/ my Cox email account successfully for several years. However, since Saturday I have not been able to receive email in Outlook. I can send email, but cannot receive it. I checked my Cox email online and the account is receiving email but it is not coming through on Outlook. I called Cox and they told me they don't support this problem. The error message I'm getting in Outlook is: Task 'pop.west.cox.net - Receiving' reported error (0X80042108). Unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message contact your server administrator or ISP." Cox says it isn't them but Outlook is sending just fine - it can't receive. Any thoughts?

You can't - "upgrading" from one version of the same Office product is considered a crossgrade update and is not supported.

You could try finding a copy of Office 97, 2000 or XP on EBay and then use that for upgrade validation. Brian "Milly Staples - MVP Outlook"

Actually I bought the Small Business version for my laptop, where it installed quite nicely. My main issue is that with the Small Business version of Outlook I can click on INSERT - SIGNATURE, and all the signatures I have stored cup up for choice (I use about 8 different signatures in my business). With Office Basic, when I click on INSERT, there is no line for SIGNATURE, except the AUTO TEXT line, which doesn't allow optional signatures, just a default one. Any suggestions?

Uncheck using Word, install your signatures, make one the default, then re-check using Word as the editor. Then when composing a new mail and your signature appears, you can right click the signature and select any of your defined signatures. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Thanks, Milly. That worked fine for "new" messages, but not for replies or forwards. Meanwhile I have gotten a copy of MS Office SBE from my son who works for Dell. Should I uninstall MS Office Basic before installing SBE? Thanks again. Tony -- synergytfelice

I always suggest uninstalling a prior version before a new version. However, always back up your data for safekeeping. The new SBE Office should reuse your settings but you can never be too careful. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

1.Outlook wants to upgrade itself from Win95
I'm running WinXPPro-SP1 and OfficePro 2000 SP2. I have three users, all of whom have the same secuirty ratings. On my user, Outlook opens and runs about as well as can be expected. For the other two users, it ALWAYS gives a message that Windows has been upgraded from Win95 or Win98 and Outlook needs to reconfigure itself. When I try to get it to do its crap, it always fails, saying it Installer doesn't have sufficient rights. Even running fix & repair doesn't help. What next? Eudora?
2.Word wants to close itself since upgrade from Office 2000 to XP
We just upgraded from Office 2000 to Office XP. Since then, I've had two issues: 1. Measurment units in Word were incorrect and unchangable - fixed that via Knowledge Base by deleting and recreating the default settings. This didn't have an effect on the 2nd issue. 2. Word keeps trying to close itself every 5 minutes or so. If I haven't made any changes to the document, Word will close itself unprompted. If I've made changes, it will ask if I want to save. If I don't respond, dialog boxes will stack up saying that another dialog box is open and Word can't close. Anyone have any ideas on this?
