Install or not install...
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 |

Install or not install...
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. Now, of course, she thinks she got the deal of a lifetime and that I should be thrilled with the idea of installing it. -- John H |

Never installed them. --Vic |

Every new product, especially from MS, carries new risks. Leave it alone. |

Every new product, especially from MS, carries new risks. Leave it alone. Well, I'm sure not as proficient as you, Jimh, and Harry. 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. |

Why would Herring need Orifice 2007? I just knew he would be posting about another problem sooner or later. He really is clueless as evidenced by his constant need for people to help make a simple decision for him. Is there enough room up Harry's ass with Don White's head already in up to the shoulders? |
