  • 1. Can't open files after upgrading to Office 2003
    Can't open old or new files in Office 2003. I suspect the virus scan plug-in with Norton Anti Virus could be the problem but I can't seem to disable it. Any one else seen the same problem?

    Hi Guys/Girls, I'm currently working through page 10 of the CIW "Change Office User setting". My problem is that I cannot seem to find any real documentation on the settings that CIW can modify. If you have a document that contains the settings/options that can be modified by the CIW and what the MS defaults on these options can you please email it to me. Many Thanks.

    I purchased a computer at a garage sale that came with software.

Does anyone know of a way to get the codes? Is their anyone at microsoft that can be contacted for this? Thanks, Jack

Taskbar "Group similar taskbar buttons"

Postby RGF2ZQ » Thu, 19 Jan 2006 03:26:05 GMT

I first thought that this was happening only to me and that it was related to 
my profile somehow being "damaged".  Now, since I've deployed Office 2003 to 
others, they are reporting the same problem.  The problem is this;
If you have the option selected to "Group similar taskbar buttons" and an 
app (let's say IE) has several groupings, sometimes (can't reproduce the 
problem) I can no longer access this grouping.  I click on the IE grouping in 
the taskbar and nothing happens.  I can maximize the other apps that have 
only one "instance", but every app that has a grouping doesn't expand.  I can 
Alt+Tab to get to these apps, but can't do it in the taskbar anymore.  I have 
to logoff and back on to get back to "normal".  Also, when I log back on, the 
QuickLaunch bar is deactivated and I have to go and re-activate it.  Any 
ideas?  Running Windows XP w/SP2 and Office 2003 w/SP2.

Someone who is deploying Office 2003 should know that Internet 
Explorer is not an Office 2003 application, and that the Windows 
taskbar and the Windows QuickLaunch bar are not Office 2003 
functions.

Thanks genius!  What a revelation!

Listen, I know that... I just used Internet Explorer as an example.  Why is 
this only happening to users that have Office 2003 then?

Anyone else care to reply?  Responses like those from G-n-O excluded.

1.Seperate Outlook taskbar button from opened email taskbar buttons

When you open Outlook, it gets a taskbar button.  When you open emails, those 
opened emails get grouped together with Outlook.  So if I have 10 open emails 
and finally decide to close things, right now I right-click the Outlook 
taskbar button, hit "Close Group", and then re-open Outlook.  

It would be better if the Outlook taskbar button was seperated from the 
emails opened, then I could just close the grouped emails without 
closing/reopening Outlook.

2.Office XP on W2K 'Group similar taskbar buttons'

I have Office XP running on windows 2000. All my Word 
documents open using the same group in the taskbar (same 
with Excel). Does anyone know how I can change this 
behaviors and make sure that each instance of the 
application will have it's own task button. I found an 
option only in Windows XP, but not 2000.

3.Inspector Behind Windows Taskbar Causes Taskbar Button Flicker

Hello,

I have written an Outlook Add-In using VB6.

At one point, I iterate through the Inbox (using the Outlook Object
Model, not CDO):

  For Each objItem In colInboxItems
    If objItem.Class = olMail Then
      : <do stuff>
    End If
    DoEvents
  Next objItem

It works.  But if I have an open Inspector, and part of the Inspector
is positioned behind the Win98 taskbar along the bottom of the screen,
the buttons on the Win98 taskbar flicker as the loop above executes.

All the buttons don't flicker.  The only taskbar buttons that flicker
are the particular ones that the Inspector is positioned behind.  If I
move the Inspector to the left or right, the button flicker follows
the Inspector.  If I move the Inspector up so it is no longer behind
the Win98 taskbar, the button flicker no longer occurs.

The flicker is very noticable when iterating through a large Inbox
containing hundreds or thousands of items.  I can't just remove
DoEvents from my loop, because that causes other problems.

Has anyone run into this?  Any suggestions for how to eliminate the
flicker?

All I can think of is to abandon using the Outlook Object Model and
use Extended MAPI in a separate thread that runs independently of the
Outlook execution context.  But I'd rather not go down that road
unless there is no other way.

Thanks.

4.Clicking Taskbar Button Closes Group

A friend is having trouble with Word.  When running
multiple windows, and clicking the "group" button on the
taskbar, Word will close intermittently, without any
further prompt from her.  She is not selecting "close
group," just clicking it causes the whole group to close. 
The only thing that she has tweaked that may be causing
this imho is that she's reconfigured her mouse from being
right handed to left handed.  In either case, it doesn't
make sense that simply clicking the W button on the task
bar should cause the group to close.  Any advice would be
appreciated. I've searched the knowledge base and several
other expert sites and haven't seen this before.
