    - OUtlook 2007 (Enterprise) spell check will not check spelling! When I try to use Spell Check in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (Enterprise), I am shown a message as follows: The spelling and grammar check is complete. Text marked with "Do not check spelling or grammar" was skipped. I can't seem to find an option that selects text to be ommited from a check or any list of words that have been excepted (and vice-versa). The Autocheck still has limited capacity. Can you please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance! -- Rob Tag: How do I fix corrupted installation database Tag: 290547

    - Compile Error can't find project or library Hello all, I'm troubleshooting a problem with Microsoft Excel VBA. The error is: Compile Error can't find project or library. It occurs in the VBA method CommandButton_ok_Click. They are using version 2002 of Excel. This same error does not happen with a different version of the script nor does it happen on Excel Version 2003.

    - office enterprise 2007 junk email filter not working at all Folks, Apologies if this is not the right place (I was not sure whether to place it on office or outlook forums). Hope someone could help me resolve this mystery. I have installed office 2007 enterprise and junk email filter in office outlook simply refuses to work. I have checked for the following potential problems (that were mentioned elsewhere): (1) My e-mail address is not in â??the safe sender listâ?? (2) I removed and reinstalled junk email filter update (did not help) (3) I tried to use â??repairâ?? feature on the installation disc (did not help) It seems to me that I have the installation problem. For example in the outlook 2007 manual part that discusses junk e-mail filtering features it says that commands Tools>Organize should give a list â??Using colorsâ??, â??Using Foldersâ??, â??Using Viewsâ??, â??Junk E-mailâ??. I see the first three but the last item (Junk E-mail) is completely missing, as if Junk E-mail filter part was not properly installed. All the help appreciated (I am getting ca 100 spam messages a day). Best regards Zoran K. Tag: How do I fix corrupted installation database Tag: 290452

    - fonts disappear from Office Apps after reboot So - I'm at my wits end - any suggestions would be appreciated!! On an XP SP2 machine with Office 2003 SP2 we install a true-type font and it works just fine. We can see it in Control Panel \ Fonts folder as well as use it in Office products. We logoff/login - same thing - works fine. We restart system - this font is no longer available in Office products but are still visible in Fonts folder. This happens with many fonts that we install - so it's not font specific. We've rebuilt the device twice and the problem reoccurs for this pocket of users. We've had them login to test machines and it works fine (ruling out ID related issue). I've logged into his machine and had the issue (generating a new local profile). So - we think we've narrowed it down to their physical devices with a physical reboot. From reading another thread re: fonts, I did confirm the registry of the device does have the Fonts key and does contain all the fonts. This problem is specific to the applications (Adobe and Office) not being able to see/use the fonts after a reboot. Has anyone come across something like this? Any suggestions where to start troubleshooting further? Thanks! Michelle Note: I also posted this in the XP General forum but haven't had any response yet so I'm cross-posting here...

    - Variety of Questions regarding Office 2007 Suite I know that it is generally a no-no to ask multiple questions in one post, but as they are all related to the Office 2007 Suite and hopefully to settings in Options - I have chosen to do so at the risk of annoying some. 1) Is there a way to have the office product stay open/loaded when the last document is "x'd" without using the close feature? I am hoping that this is just a checkbox somewhere in the Options. This is the case in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. 2) In Outlook 2007 is there a way to keep the "include subfolders" option enabled when doing an Advanced Search -- each time I open Outlook I need to re-check that box. Similarly, is there a way to permanently set the To-Do Bar to "Off" -- I also need to set that each time I open the application.

    - reinstalling office 2007 on same machine I have a bad trojan and the only way to remove it is to format the computer and reinstall everything. I am worried that I will not be able to reinstall Office 2007 though since I installed it already on 3 different computers. Is the installation limited to 3 LOCATIONS or only 3 TIMES regardless of the location? In other words, will the installation CD recognize my computer and allow me to reinstall office or will I get a message telling me that I cannot reinstall office anymore because I abused all 3 installations?

    - Title Bar Glitch When I open Word 07 or Excel 07 from Office 07 Enterprise edition (Windows XP), I get a ghost title bar above the normal title bars for these programs. It appears to just be dead space, where I can't make any changes whatsoever. At times, it will almost look like the min/max/close buttons from Windows 95... it's a strange occurrence that only happens if the programs are opened as maximized.

    - Word 2000-2003 document printing issue Hi there, We had a document created in office 2000, printing on legal paper. Now we upgraded to office 2003, for some reason Word 2003 is trying to print on letter format and somehow is compressing the fonts to fit on letter size format, althrough on the printer it prints on legal but the contents seem compressed as through it is trying to print on letter format. So the document instead of taking up entire legal page space and using normal arial font, it is printed only on 2/3 of the document with a smaller arial font and there is blank at the end. Is it something we need to configure on Word 2003? Thank you, T Tag: How do I fix corrupted installation database Tag: 290404

    - microsoft document imaging vs image writer This is actually a 2 part question. 1) What is the difference between MSDocument Imaging and Image Writer? 2) We are scanning documents in and saving as a *.tif file. However when opening these files, we see that some pages need to be rotated. Once the pages are rotated and we tell it to print as a different *tif file, it then gives us the error message: "One or more pages in this file cannot be viewed in Microsoft Office Document Imaging". The reason for the 2nd 'Print' is that when these files were scanned in, they were at a resolution that is to high, causing HUGE file sizes. We are trying to 'compress' the files by printing them to MSODI. Thanks, Barb Tag: How do I fix corrupted installation database Tag: 290400

    - Office 2007 and Konica print drivers Vista Workstation, Server 2003 and Konica Minolta printers Bizhub 500 and C550. The drivers are pushed down through a script from the server on login, if they exist then they are not reinstalled. Therefore the inf is located on the server, available through a network share. When we set some of the controls such as double-sided in the printer setting through control panel this works. If we leave the setting single-sided in the control panel and try to set in the printing preferences while performing a print from a Microsoft application such as Word 2007 these settings do not work. If we then install the driver manually on a workstation, these settings will be controlled through either the control panel or Office.

    - Automated macro for unique csv files The problem where we are having problems is this: The design team creates a product. Each product has a list of parts : 2 of this 3 of that. No product is the same. The list is then converted to a .csv file, which would then be needed to be converted into labels for each individual part. We would need a macro that would read the quantity of parts requested, make an individual label for each part, but at the same time we would be able to use this macro automated to crate labels for each unique csv file created. Is there anyway that we can "drag and drop" the csv file into a macro and it automates the correct amount of labels from the quantity listed from each unique csv file created for a product? It is very important to have a way to simplify the steps to do this since this is being created for individuals who have never used word or excel. Any assistance is appreciated.

    - Outlook Express hogs all processing under FIND I finally get around to asking about this. If I do a "FIND" search in outlook express and select "search all text" in a folder that has thousands of messages (or worse, all folders), and it doesn't find something quickly, then this search totally takes over the processor as if multitasking priorities was something that belongs in the 80's. Even Task Manager cannot seem to end the search and multiple task manager "ends" result in deleted messages from the folder in question after it eventually ends. Nothing else useful can be done in the meantime. This seems so primitive that I keep thinking it must be me that is missing something obvious. Any advice, other than use FIND carefully?
