    - I need helping backing up contacts, mail and calendar from Office I am upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007. Hooray! The problem is, it is not an upgrade version, it is a completely new version. So before I install 2007, I need to uninstall 2003, right? My problem is, Office 2007 will be here 5/12/08. I need to backup my contacts, mail, and calendar, so that I can import it back into 2007. The problem is that there are so many options of ways to export it and import it, I have no idea which one to choose. I don't want to choose the wrong one. It would be a disaster if I lost the calendar and my emails. Is there another way? How can I back the stuff up? Thank you for your help!

    - move autotext entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007 I have tried in vain to move my old autotext entries from Word 2003 to Word 2007 following advice MVP Beth Melton gave on 1/2/2007 to a question by Mike Kuch: renaming the old Normal.dot to AutoText.dot and placing it into user â?? App.Data â?? Roaming â?? Microsoft â?? DocumentBuildingBlock â?? 1031. Then I have moved BuildingBlocks.dotx out of this folder, so that there is only one folder left in the 1031, namely Autotext.dot (which is the renamed file from normal.dot from Office XP). It doesnâ??t work with me. To give an example, I write in Word 2007 NYT and add F3, there will be no reaction, where under Word 2003 it would roduce "New York Times". Where is my fault? I would be grateful for help. Mollius@Online.de Tag: Word -Under Format/ Columns default is 2 instead of 1? Tag: 293495

    - Microsoft Office Document Imaging program Please help me replace the Microsoft Office Document Imaging program in my Print folder. It used to be an option and very helpful when I didn't want to print a page but save it to print later. I reinstalled Office 2003 and now it is no longer an print option even though it is listed in my Program files. How do I get it back in my Print folder. I tried uninstalling it, then telling it to run from my computer, but I noticed I didn't have an option to advanced customization of applications as the instructed post had stated I even tried the cscript in run, but it came up as driver not found. Please give me a step by step description of how to have it show up again in my Print folder. Tag: Word -Under Format/ Columns default is 2 instead of 1? Tag: 293492

    - MODI should install by default in Office 2007 MODI should not be hidden in the Office 2007 installation. It should automatically be included in the standard installation by default. This concerns me. It gives me the impression that Microsoft is not committed to enhancing and supporting this application in the future.

    - MODI opens quite slowly I've been using the MODI feature for years in Office 2003 and love it. I have a new PC with Vista and installed Office 2007 - including the MODI feature, which was hidden. When I try to open MODI my mouse pointer locks up for about 20-30 seconds and then the MODI app finally opens. When the app is open and I access additional documents, the additional instances open immediately - it's just the first instance that locks up for about half a minute. I've run the "repair" utility for Office in Control Panel/Programs but that didn't help. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007. Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do? Tag: Word -Under Format/ Columns default is 2 instead of 1? Tag: 293475

    - Removing installed (unused) programs I like to keep my system updated. However I am not sure if I should remove old/outdated system programs. For example, in the Add/Remove Programs window I have NET. Framework 1.1 (with all updates), NET. Framework 2.0 service pack one (with all updates), and NET. Framework 3.0 which I assume is the most up-to-date and therefore is the installed and currently used NET. Framwork. Do I really need to keep the other NET. Framework programs (1.1 and 2.0)?

    - LAN, wireless internet pravicy and security I connect to the internet through my (LAN) wireless connection on a public network. My files can be viewed by others on my network if I disable my security set-up. My question is if I am online using my first user profile are the files on my second user profile safe from viewing by someone on my network ? I other words, if I only keep My Document files on my second user log-in profile are they safe from view while I am online using my first user log-in profile? I think using a different user profile when going online by wireless connection would automatically disable any access to files stored in a different user profile. Is is ture?

    - MS Office 2007 Trial - HELP!! I downloaded the trial version today & have been having problems right from the start: 1. When I opened Word or Powerpoint, the Activation Wizard says that the trial is expired (which I can't understand as I only downloaded & activated a few hours ago) & that I should convert to the full product. 2. When I try 'Word Options' and click 'Activate', it gives me the same message. 3. If I click 'Cancel', I can't key in anything cos it says "The selection is locked". I read the link that Carey gave as her reply about locked content but I can't seem to find the 'Properties' Button - so i still have a problem with locked content (even when there is no content). I don't understand where I went wrong. I followed all the on-screen instructions step-by-step & I had already keyed in the product key given when I was prompted to do so. I even tried calling the Microsoft Technical Support, which referred me to Activation Centre, which referred me back to Technical Support. As this is a new PC, I don't have an older version of MS Office to fall back on & I'm at my wit's end cos I have an assignment due very soon & i need the powerpoint as I don't have the time to do it during office hrs. :-( If anybody has any idea what to do, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

    - Office 2007 "Help" causes errors I'm running Windows XP Home with SP2 and now SP3. Having received Office Enterprise 2007, I uninstalled Office XP, then installed 2007 without problems. All programs seem to open and work correctly, except that the "Help" function generates errors. For example: I open Word, click on the Office Button, click on Word Options, and then click on the "?" at the top right. The "Word Help" window starts to open, and, presumably, to load (i.e., the hourglass turns); then, before anything appears in the window, a "Microsoft Office Help Viewer" box opens, saying that "Microsoft Office Help Viewer encountered a problem and needs to close.... etc...." Basically, the same thing happens when I use F1 in any of the apps, as well. Thinking that it might be a TSR or something else in the background, I tried using a "clean boot" (as shown, for example, at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353); the same problem occurs, regardless. Through "Add/Remove Programs", I also tried running "Repair Office". It finished successfully... but the problem remains. I'd be grateful for any solutions or suggestions. You can reach me at captain1991@shaw.ca. Many thanks. Tag: Word -Under Format/ Columns default is 2 instead of 1? Tag: 293449

    - Strange problem with Arial font Hello, I'm having an odd problem with my fonts in Outlook and Word. When I use Arial it will only appear in Bold. I haven't selected bold and I can't get rid of it. When I checked Format/Font from the menu options I noticed that the dialogue box doesn't have an option for "Regular" under the "Font Style". It seems to be the only font that doesn't have this option. I checked in the WINDOWS/Fonts folder to see if there was a font in there called Arial, and there is, it's called "arial.ttf".

    - Microsoft Charity Licensing price Hello, My question is I work in a Non-Proft organization. Now for MS charity licenses is the price flat out 1 consistant price? or is it avaiable to vendors to (bend) the rules? I've notice prices range from $65 to $72 from different vendors and Computer manufacturers... HP, Dell, Gateway and 3rd party resellers. If so, is there a price range they can not break? Another question, can a vendor or reseller get sanction by Microsoft for selling licenses below charity pricing? My Agency is in the process of purchasing a large order of computers and we have a few vendors going below charity prices that I normally see.

    - MERGE FILES QUESTIONS There are two questions here: (1) I click Save As > another file with a different name. Office comes up with a box that asks if I want to replace file, overwrite file with changes, merge files. I click "merge." Just *what* is this doing? The Help button is useless for information about merging document files. (2) After clicking "merge," four windows pop up: On the left, a long, thin window showing (I guess) the changes made in the merge; a big window in the middle showing the combined document; on the right, two boxlike windows showing the two original files. I closed the window on the left. But, . . . how do I get it back? I tried going back to Square One (open document > Save As > choose another file > select third option: merge). Nothing happened. The window did not come back. In fact, nothing happened like it did the first time. All it did was open up the other selected document, presumably, with the changes already merged. Once again, the Office Help function was as helpful as Clippy. Tag: Word -Under Format/ Columns default is 2 instead of 1? Tag: 293415

    - Problem installing language packs (Office 20027) Last year I installed Dutch and French language packs to complement the English Office 2007 applications. After a disk crash a few days ago and ensuing full reinstall of the OS and MS Office 2007, it turned out impossible to install the language packs again, from either the downloaded files that I had saved on another hard disk or from copies burned onto a CD. For both LPs there was a message that "Errors [were] encountered...]. Details in the window showing the extraction progress said that when extracting the X12-34010.exe files (Dutch LP) "cannot open X12-34010.exe" and on the following line, when extracting paul.dll "cannot open paul.dll". Exactly the same error messages appeared when installing the French LP. While I had no problem getting new download links from Microsoft and the installation of the newly downloaded LPs went absolutely smoothly, the problem that occurred with the original ones leave me puzzled, also because the two language packs had initially been downloaded some two months apart.

Open the Normal template
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm)
and set the number of columns to 1 there.
