    - Looking for Best Tool for Report Tracking I have a group of Directors who submit monthly report on the status of multiple projects to me. At this time, they submit WORD documents that contain project related data each month. Every quarter I review the monthly reports and provide a summary report to Executive. I am wondering the communities opinion on what would be the best combination of tools to use for: a) a uniform reporting method that is electronic (InfoPath?) b) a repository to store all reports by month and by project so that they are easily accessible and so that I may easily compare side-by-side monthly project key indicators that will be included in my quarterly evaluation (ACCESS?)

    - How do I set up fields of info to print on form letter? I have pre-printed payment agreements that I would like to run through my printer and populate with the information that I currently type in using a regular typewriter. Is there a way to set up some kind of template or document with the information I need to print on these forms. How do I get the info to print in the correct location on the pre-printed forms? It seems like there should be a way to do this. Thank You for any and all help. We use Microsoft Windows 2000. Tag: Upgrade from Office 2000 to Current Version: Tag: 296636

    - cartoon skin Note to Microsoft developers: Most of us are older than 8 years of age and therefore do not need our software to look like a cartoon. Until now, this has been a relatively minor problem because the "Classic" look was still available, but Office 2007 provides no such option. With Office 2007 we are allowed three color themes for our cartoon-y display, but no option to disable it. Please, please, please give us the option for a clean, compact, simple, "Classic" look. The most important adjective there is COMPACT.

    - office works okay as admin but re-loads each time w/user profiles Each time I try to open an Office (2003 or XP) program as a USER (XPsp3 OS) the program "loads" popping up various windows but then finally seems to work. One of the windows says the stdole32.tlb is corrupt or does not exist please run setup again. This does not happen when logged in as ADMIN. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, changing permissions in the registry (even though that fix applied to NT and 2000) and using Windows Installer Cleanup utility all to no avail. Historically, I installed Office XP and uninstalled it and then installed Office 2003 before I noticed the problem. I am setting up a fresh virtual machine to determine if a clean XP install with a clean Office XP or 2003 install will solve the problem. If that doesn't work I will resort to a clean install on a "real" (as opposed to virtual) machine and see if that works. Tag: Upgrade from Office 2000 to Current Version: Tag: 296565

Specifically, after inserting a picture into a document, I would right click the picture then choose â??Tightâ?? for the Wrapping Style and â??Otherâ?? for the Horizontal Alignment.

Hi Pete,

Your question is a very broad one and there isn't a definitive 'sure they all will run as is' answer that could cover all possible
issues when you're jumping basically 8 years of development and change <g>.

You can download a 60 day trial version of Office before upgrading from http://trymicrosoftoffice.com
