Mrs H got an almost free MS Office Enterprise 2007 from her job. We've not
had any problems with Office 2000. Running XP. Would you install or not install? -- John H |

My wife recently upgraded to office 2007 at work and is not particularly
fond of it. The document display is significantly different. I'm still running one version earlier than 07 at my office. We have 97 at home, yukyuk. It will take more resources than 2000. You can always uninstall and put 2000 back on, unless you don't have the cds for 2000. "John H." wrote in message ... Mrs H got an almost free MS Office Enterprise 2007 from her job.

She's neither complained about nor praised it. I think someone told her $19 was a super deal for the whole thing, so she just bought it.

You guys definitely know most of what there is to know about computers! -- John H Here are two examples of things that would drive you to drink even more than you already do: Install problems plague Office 2007 SP1 On Patch Tuesday this month, Dec. 11, the arrival of Service Pack 1 for Office 2007 was confusing to many people. I haven't yet found any Patch Watch readers whose machines automatically installed SP1. But many people inadvertently installed it and thought it had been auto-installed, because Vista offers SP1 as an optional patch and it's prechecked, so it's easy to miss the fact that you're approving SP1's installation. Some people who have the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or Home/Student versions of Office 2007 are finding that they get a cryptic 78F error when they try to install SP1. It appears that the cure for this requires that you uninstall Office and then reinstall it. As one newsgroup poster pointed out in a forum post, that works only when you have an install disc. If you don't, you'll need to contact the OEM manufacturer for a replacement. Office 2003 SP3 hurts Access, old file formats If you've decided to spend time installing all the latest service packs this holiday season, Office 2003 SP3 is something you should consider - as long as you don't have an Access 2003 database. Access developers are still recommending that you hold back before installing SP3 for Office 2003. For the rest of you, if you've already installed SP3 and you find you can't open older versions of files in Word and Excel, a documented Registry edit can allow you to use those files once again. Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 938810, which describes this workaround, is a bit tricky. For this reason, I built a file that makes the necessary Registry changes for you. It's posted on a blog page from which you can download a .zip file that contains officefix.reg. Right-click this file, then click Merge to make the changes to your Registry. |

We've not had any problems with Office 2000. Running XP. Would you install or not install? -- John H Not being particularly computer literate, nor do I care to be, here's the way I look at it, FWIW. Unless there's a compelling reason to change from what is working, I leave it alone. I use programs until they just don't work anymore due to some "advancement" in an OS, or it simply becomes so obsolete that I can't use it for current applications. Almost every time I've changed to something different when what I had served the purpose well, I regretted it because it often screwed something else up. Leave well enough alone. Eisboch Yup, thanks. And, you may have missed my well wishes yesterday, with all the excitement. Glad to hear there were no problems with the demo ride. All in all it went well. Just full of foul weather surprises. Sometimes I think forecasters should be held accountable, but the reality is that it's really up to us. It was an exciting outing, but now that I've calmed down, I'd probably get talked into doing it again. Eisboch |

Would you install or not install? -- John H I would guess it is best not too unless you have a clear need for it. I cite 3 reasons. 1) Your friends you might mail docs to don't have 2007, the new format 2) It saves the files in the new format, there is not an easy way to turn back 3) If you don't like it, not good. Stick with what works. |
