    - Office 2007 repurposed Commands Greying problem I want to enable and disable some of the built in commands on the Fluent UI toolbar in Microsoft word. Now I am having some trouble getting a built in command to be Invalidated so it calls its repurposed enabled routine again. so I set up an addin to load a fluent xml with a routine to pick up the Enabled status <command idMso="BulletsGalleryWord" etEnabled="SCommandEnabled" /> Now it calls the SCommandEnabled routine when the xml is first loaded and sets the enabled status a treat. now if I try to invalidate the control using m_Ribbon.InvalidateControl ("BulletsGalleryWord") it does not cause the Command to reread its values like it does for a user control. Is there a built in ribbon variable I can use to cause the invalidate or is this a bug and I have to invalidate the whole of my ribbon? -- Thanks Adrian Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292970

    - Corrupt .CAB file on Office XP I have had to re-format my disk and re-install Windows XP and Office XP. Win XP was no problem, but when I try to load Office XP from the disc, I get a message saying "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Office1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used." I had no problem loading it the first time - about 18 months ago - so cannot understand why I now have a corrupt file on the disc. How can I get around this ?? I cannot get past this message and cannot load any programs from Office XP -- Ricky Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292969

    - Source text in a translation is invisible "My question is very specific. I translate documents using SDL TRADOS, where I get a file which contains both the source as well as the target text shown in two different colours. At times it so happens that the source text is invisible or hidden, in which case when I had the version 2002 of MS word earlier, I would simply go to TOOLS>>OPTIONS, select the VIEW tab, check the option "View Source text" and confirm by clicking OK and the source text would be visible right away. However with MS word 2007 (I upgraded recently), I dont see any such setting. So what do I do if the source text is invisible and only the target text is seen in a translation??

    - Adding an Outlook "Contact Card" to a website This is actually a website question, but I figured since it works with Outlook features I'd see if anyone here may have some ideas... I'm looking for a way to put a 'virtual card' of sorts on a website. What I want is a link, and if you click that link it will give you the option of saving some information directly into Outlook Contacts. (Essentially like sending a contact via e-mail, but over the web instead). Does anyone know a good way to do this? Is there a way to save a contact information into a file; and if so, how would I go about saving it into Outlook? Any help or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    - Tracking changes solution to version 2007 problem I was having a big problem with Word because while it was letting me save my Word docs with the tracked changes hidden, *unbeknownst to me* it was showing them to the recipient when s/he opened the document! So I just posted a suggestion a while ago that Microsoft should have a dialog box ... Well, turns out they sort of do. Go to Word options, then Trust Center, then Trust Center Settings, then Privacy Options, and under Document-specific settings, check the first item (â??Warnâ?¦â??). I tested it and even though it says its document-specific, it carries over to old and new docs, too. Unfortunately, it queries you for every save, but for me thatâ??s a small price to pay for controlling when my changes are and are not revealed. I hope this is helpful to someone! -- hammar2007 Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292922

    - Newsgroup process is outrageously frustrating! I just spent a half hour in a big loop trying to do a fairly trivial thing in one of these Office newsgroups. I had posted a question and wanted to be notified of any replies. But, the problem that I was working on had to do with one of my e-mail accounts and Outlook, unfortunately, the e-mail account that would receive the notifications. Needless to say, I wouldn't be able to get them. So, I elected to edit my profile (little button on the right next to the Help button). This offers the option of changing the e-mail address to which the notifications are sent. So, I did that. But, in order to complete this change, Microsoft would send a verification message to the new address and I would need to click on a link in that message to verify. I received the verification message and clicked on the link. In Internet Explorer, the link led to a page that said : "Unknown Error. An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again." Being the patient guy that I am, I did retry maybe a half a dozen times over a couple of days, always with the same result. The original verification e-mail has some comments about dealing with problems in the process. I tried them all without success. So, finally, it says "If you continue to have access problems or want to report other issues, pleas Contact Us." The Contact Us is a link to a Microsoft Support page. But, this is a generic Microsoft Support page that begins its own long course into identifying for which Microsoft product I am requesting help. A long list, what should I pick?? I elect to pick Windows. After another long process it decides that I must pay for this help. HELP!!!! Is there a Microsoft ombudsman that I can petition?? I am tempted to buy a Mac!

    - Unattended install seems to complete successfully but does not immediately install applications Hi I wonder whether anyone has any advice on my problem, as i have been struggling for a few days now. I am installing Office 2007 Pro through an unattended install. The event log ad the app management log file both show that the installation was successfull, but when I log onto the PC as the loal administrator the Office folder is there, but no actual applications have been installed and there is no entry in the program menu. After a few minutes the Configuration in progress window comes up and effectively installs Office, but obviously this takes ages ands I would like the entire install to happen before logon.

    - Office Professional 2003 - sku111.cab I am running Windows XP Prof SP2. When office was installed it was done over a network and XP only had a single user. I recently created a new windows user called 'mon'. Now when 'mon' tries to run Excel, Windows installer starts...then cant find sku111.cab. As mentioned it was installed over a network that can no longer be accessed. I don't mind if 'user' can no longer access Office so long as 'mon' can. Surely the original disks are not required when a new windows user is created under XP? PS When I cancel the installer it then continues to start Excel with no apparent adverse effects.

    - Problem running the online interactive training Hi, I'm trying to run the various Microsoft Office online training courses that are available on the Microsoft website. However, I'm only able to see and hear one page... then when I click 'next' I can only see (but not hear) the next page... when I click to access a third page, nothing happens - so I can't see or hear the third page. I've found a way around it... but it's time consuming and a bit frustrating. If I view and listen to page one... then click next, so that I can see page 2... then exit that specific training course... then reload the course for page 1... then click next... I can see and hear page two... then I have to click next, exit, re-enter the course etc to see and hear page 3.... and repeat the entire process for each page. Is there something I can do to overcome this problem? Many thanks. Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292865

    - Word File Associations with Vista/Word 2007 "This file does not have a program associated with it ..." when opening a Word Document in Windows Mail. However the file opens correctly through other means, and there is no problem opening other files inside Windows Mail. Another account on the same computer does not have this issue. In the faulty account, the Description for the File Association says "DOC File," and the icon is slightly greyed out. In the other account, the Description says "Microsoft Office 97-2003 Document" for that extension, the icon is clear, and documents open properly in Windows Mail. I've tried changing the .DOC association to another program, and then back; it seemed to work for one account but not the other. This trivial issue is consuming all my time; can anyone help? Thx in advance Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292823

    - OCS 2007 Standard, Cisco Presence, and RCC Greetings to all. I have OCS 2007 Standard configured and running, and have Office Communicator 2007 installed on our client computers. After that, we got a Cisco Callmanager, and a Cisco Presence Server. We are now working on the integration in order to use Remote Call Control. On the Cisco side, our partners say they have it all set up. On OCS side, I configured the routing to the Cisco Presence Server. On the users, I enabled Remote Call Control, which these values: Server URI: sip:username@ciscopresence.domain.pt Line URI: tel:12345;phone-context=dialstring On Communicator client, I only went to the Telephones tab, and selected the Work Phone to be published. The Phone integration option is selected, and in the advanced option, it shows Automatic Configuration selected, with no chance to manually configure. Well, after all this, it doesnt work, when I start the client, it warns me that there was no telephony system to connect to. Is it because of OCS 2007 being Standard Edition? Or is there another trick? I even tried using phone numbers with + (plus sign), but didnt seem to work. Thanks in advance Rodrigo Monteiro Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292820

    - redownloading a lost program When I initially bought my computer, it came with a preinstalled trial for MS Office 2007 Home and Student. I used the trial, and later paid to convert it to the full version. However, my computer recently recovered from a virus, and I lost most of my programs because I had to reinstall Windows. How do I get my MS Office suite back without paying for it again? Tag: Word and Excel won't close on "X" Tag: 292818

Using Office 2007 on Windows XP. Word and Excel won't close when I
click the "X", but File->Exit works as well as right clicking the
application on the start bar and then clicking close. Any ideas? It
doesn't seem to be consistent among the users, I've also seen this
happen to Outlook.

I have the same problem on a new computer with Office 2007 products. And when
I google there I see that there are many more with this products. All threads
I read says that it's an add-on. But the same trouble appears when I run
outlook in safe mode. When I try to go in to the security center Outlook
hangs totally!

Anyone on Microsoft have any idea? This error on new products starting to
get anoying.

Best regards
One more with problem

Yes there is a learning curve with the new Office interface, it works
differently than the previous releases.
