    - Office 2007 QAT file location Why are the QAT files stored in local settings? Any sane Admin would exclude this bloated folder from their roaming profiles. Is there a way to make it so these go into Application data instead so they can be roamed? Thanks Tag: i have office vista. i can't drag my mouse on a text to select it Tag: 293105

    - "Recent files" does not work For some reason it does not show recently opened files or how they called in office i dont even have button for it under "File" menu. For as long i remember i have changed something in windows that it stopped to mentain history e.g. when you open Start>Run and type C:\ it suggest list of folders e.g. C:\Program Files, in my case it suggests nothing, i remember i changed some setting somewhere i think in Internet Explorer to not keep history, is it related to windows history too?

    - Office Pro 2007 problems I am running a Dell E520, and had Office 2007 installed, but was having problems. I bought the upgrade for Office Pro 2007 at Staples yeterday, oput in the CD, it asked for the new product number, then did its thing, but did not install. It apparently just read my CD to see I had the Office components installed, and then completed its thing. It did not install the Accounting Express which comes with the Update, and it did not write over the old components, did not chnage the product number, adn I still have the same problems. I am at a loss. I guess I could take this back and buy a whole new Office 2007, but if I don't need to spend another $200, I'd be happy. Thanks in advance for your help.

    - Outlook Send & recieve I am runing Office 2007 on Vista Home No major problems other than the update issues which I am working through. However, the outlook program has suddenly thrown a spanner as when I slect the Send & recive button the system goes into over drive looking for increasing task's to be completed! What I mean by that is the progress window appears and the progress bar moves across the line as expected but the number of tasks just keep increasing. I only have 5 accounts to check but have seen the system checking 1500+ As the Cancel All is not functioning at this point the only way I have been able to stop this continuios operation is to use the task manager which identifies the package is not responding and closes down but then reopens it with no error reports. I am now no longer able to use this package any longer so am keen to resolve. The problem appeard to start only after I strted the power point program from what I can recall although this may be nothing to do with it. I have updated Vista with SP1. Any suggestions -- Cheers Blubber Tag: i have office vista. i can't drag my mouse on a text to select it Tag: 293099

    - Excel 2003 SP3 security encryption bug when running in Vista versus I found what seems to be a bug with Excel's encryption, when running the same version of Excel, Excel 2003, SP3, under Vista versus XP. As you may know, you can encrypt an Excel file by clicking, under "Save As", then "Tools", "General Options", "Save Options" where for "Advanced" under the Password window, you can click on a dropdown list, that includes "Weak Encryption", "office 97/2000 compatible" (which is what I was using, before I switched), "RC4", then "RC4, MS Strong Crypto Provider". I saved an Excel .xls spreadsheet using the last encryption option above, when running Excel 2003, SP3, under Vista, namely "RC4, MS Strong Crypto Provider". This was a big mistake. Then I tried to open this same spreadsheet, with the same program, same password, using XP. But XP gave this error message: "Excel cannot open this file. The encryption file used is not available, contact the author of the file. More encryption types are available using the High Encryption Pack." First, I could not find the 'official' Microsoft "High Encryption Pack" (I did find some third party stuff). A search on the web showed that for Word2003, this is a encryption bug as acknowledged by Microsoft. The only 'workaround' is for the sender to resend the encrypted file under a different encryption. But what is annoying is that I am the sender, and it's the same file, same password, just being saved and opened under two different operating systems (Vista and XP Professional, respectively). Compounding the problem for me is that the two machines are presently far apart from one another, and I would like to open this encrypted file but cannot, even though I know the password. Another terrible bug by MSFT--anybody have a solution? Other than adopting Linux? I could buy one of those Excel password cracker programs, but they say that if you set the password at the higest level (presumeably RC4 or above) then these programs don't work very fast. Moral of the story: don't use RC4 since this bug exists and the end user might not be able to open the file, even if they know the password!

    - Protected Forms-Wizard Word2003. I create std forms at work using template, fields, DD and all. Forms are "filling form" protected for users. I need to create an "amended contract" template. If clause "1. aaa" was part of the original contract, only then would clause "3. bbb" be added to the amended contract. Automatic article numbering must still work. User would need to be asked if clause "1.aaa" was part of original contract or not. Or, if contract is signed in Quebec, clause "Z" must be added; if contract is signed in any other province, then clause "Z" does not apply. I know I can use "Help F1" in fields, put the paragraph in the field and instruct the user to remove the field if clause "1.aaa" is not in the original contract. However, there must be a more professional and user-friendly way to proceed. Final form would still need to be "filling form" protected b/c user would still have to select info from DD menus or input info in "text form fields" at any given place in the document. I thought of creating a wizard. Any thoughts on how to proceed, books to read or else? Thx for your help... -- Merci/Thank you.

There is not an item such as Office Vista. There is a Windows Vista
operating system, and there is an Office XP or Office 2003 or Office
2007 suites. And then the question is which application in the Office
suite are you using?
