    - Positioning text in a letter for use in a window envelopes When I write a letter using Word 2002 I type the address at the left side, in approximately the right place to appear through the envelope window (A4 paper, folded 3 times into DL envelope). However, the positioning is just that - approximate. I would like to be able to fix the address on the page so that it is always in the same place (between 55 and 87 mm from the top edge, and between 20 and 105 mm from the left edge). Then I could always fold the A4 page in the same way instead of using trial and error each time. I'm guessing that a template is the answer, with (perhaps?) a text box which would somehow confine the address text, though I am open to suggestions. I rarely need mail merge, so something which would allow manual input of address details is all that's required. Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297830

    - How to change LZW compression format? Environment: Windows XP Pro Office 2003 and Office 2000 If we rotate a TIFF image file using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it changes the compression format to LZW. We then upload our faxes (tiff files) to a 3rd party who rejects any images that use LZW compression. We then have to reformat these to a supported compression type. I have tried to find a way to change the default behaivior to not use LZW, but I can't find out. If I open Microsoft Office Document Imaging, and select Tools -> Options, then the Compression tab, there is a check box for LZW compression that is checked, but it is greyed out and I cannot uncheck it. Is there anyway to use any other compression format besides LZW? Thank you, -- Darren Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297827

    - Accounting should allow flexibility in period-ends Office Accounting does not allow for accounting period start and end dates to be amended after the periods have been created and transactions entered. This is a fundamnetal weakness; there may be many reasons for business owners to choose to change the date to which accounts are prepared, your software requires them to be certain of the period end dates before transactions are posted. By comparison QuickBooks allows users to amend year-ends at any date and then re-run reports. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Outlook 2007 says trial expired right after installation Hello, I downloaded the 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office today, but right after installation it stated that the version already expired. I have to say that I installed a trial version last week right after I purchased this laptop but the installation showed errors so I removed it and installed my old Office XP version. So today I gave it another try but it doesn't work :(( saying the trial expired. Any idea how to fix that? Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297807

    - Office 2007 Doc Quarantined by Exchange 2003 Antigen 9.1.1097 SP1 I have a document created with Word 2007 and saved as the standard docx extension. When it is sent via Outlook, Antigen on Exchange will quarantine it and classify it as Virus name: "UnwritableCompressedFile". If I save it as Office 2003 format, it does not get quarantined. I've even deleted all of the content from the document and it still gets quarantined. I've also tried copying the contents to a new docx file and it does not get quarantined. So there's something embedded in the doc that is causing this to occur. I need to find out what in order to advise users when they encounter this. I've got the work around, but would like to know why it's getting quarantined. Thanks. Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297806

    - office 2007 is horrid That ribbon is terrible - do NOT get 2007. Go get 2003. In fact, go get open office; it really does work much better than 2007. There is NO option for "classic view" a la other recent MS software upgrades. vista/xp/98 can all be viewed in a similar manner - WHY WHY WHY can't 2007 look like 2003 if the customer so wishes it? Oh, that's right, we've arrived at a point where there' no real improvement to be made on the existing software, so we've got to "update" everything and stop supporting the old, perfectly usable software. I suspect that this is just the result of a poor business decision made by some jerk engineer out to get promoted because of his "cool" new interface. Send that jerk back to the salt mines, and charge a monthly fee for safety protection a la WoW or something. Jeeee-sus Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297800

    - This linked object problem must go beyond a Word problem I don't know if I'm not explaining the issue well or if it is just baffling everyone. I'm going to give it a whirl here.... - I just started using a new computer. I have WindowsXP and Word 2003. - Our office uses a file managment software through which we merge documents. the documents contain links to other documents that we use to insert letterhead, and atty info that will go into about 500 template documents. - when I start documents on this computer that have that link, and tell it to update the link, the link is inserted and the properties show it as a .pic. The link works, except it inserts in a box that takes up a whole page instead of the small space that it is in the original. When I try to adjust the size of the box, the text inside shrinks. - This is not happening on any other computer in our office, even if I login with my personal preferences. - for the record...to create the link, I choose "insert" from the toolbar, "objects", create from file, "filename" Link to file. Is there some setting in Windows that I'm missing? I haven't tried this with any other programs. I don't use others very often. I think I've looked at every option that might be relevant in the word tools and options. I can't find anything that makes this better. one final note...I'm a former die-hard Wordperfect user, and am relatively new to Word so I'm lost on macros and codes and such. I'm so frustrated. I can use these documents, but I have to copy the text from the file and paste it, but it isn't linked. Tag: I can I revert to an existing document after pasting over it? Tag: 297792

    - Office 2007 and templates with macro's that run in 2003 Hi, I'm currently testing office 2007 with our templates, specificly Word. These templates run OK in Word 2003, but in 2007 they dont run from a network share. The template it self runs, but the base template on which all of our templates are based returns an error. When the VB editor comes up, the base template is not reachable. The template is there in the folder. The template even comes up in the list of templates that are loaded. If I put the templates on my local machine everything is fine. Is there some kind of policy preventing the templates from working? I already trusted the location for the templates and Macro's are allowed (unsecure i know, but OK it works) If anyone has an idea....

    - Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close I get the following error when I try to print-"Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close". I am running Windows XP Pro and recently installed Office Enterprise 2007. I never had this problem printing from Office Pro 2003 and the other people (3) on my network have no problem printing. I reinstalled Office and the print driver to no avail. The only way I can print is to restart the computer, go to Windows, System 32, Spooler, Printers, and delete the files, then go to the Temp folder and delete the files, then turn off the computer, reset the print server, reset the printer, spin in my office chair three times, turn on the computer, (removing all sharp instruments and blunt objects from the area while it boots), and then maybe, if I'm lucky, I can print a page or two before it locks up and I need to start the process over again.

    - Licensing. Have a question about licensing for Office 2003. Most of the computers at our company have office 2003 professional installed, though only the following applications. Word, Excel Outlook, We have licences for ALL of the computers but for Office 2003 Basic which contains those same applications (word, excel, outlook) Now the question is. Do we have to uninstall-and install office basic with those license keys that we have? or in an event of an audit and we have 2003 pro (only with word, excel and outlook) but we have 2003 basic licenses will we get in trouble? I have no Idea why the past sysadmin installed pro instead of the already licensed office 2003 basic on all computers. So this is my task for the day. Any help is appreciated. Thanks JC.

    - Envelop address prints in wrong place, can't adjust. Hi, I have Word 2003, and a somewhat elderly HP Deskjet 932C printer, all on XP Pro SP3. The printer has a slot for envelopes, right side of tray, and the envelope is inserted the long way in with face down, flap on left. The print envelop function shows this as the default for this printer, with the address in the correct location. However, it actually prints along the top, between the return address and where the stamp would be. If I go into the options and manually select a position, which moves toward the bottom of the envelope, it still prints in exactly the same location at the top.

    - Office 2003 Student/Teacher - can I install on more than 1 compute I currently have Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 installed on my desktop PC (running on XP Home Edition SP2). My son now has a new notebook (running on Vista) and we would like to be able to install the Office 2003 suite onto his notebook. However, I'm not sure whether this is allowable. The back of the CD case states "Install full versions of the latest Office products on up to three of your home PCs." but in the guide booklet it states the following: "To help reduce software piracy, the Office 2003 Editions use the product activation system, which allows your copy of the Office 2003 Edition to be installed on only one computer." The statements seem to contradict each other. Does anyone know if it is OK (legitimately) to install my Office 2003 onto his computer? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
