(Please no computer jargon answers,as i don't understand it - sorry)
I'm doing an invoice on my Windows Office Excel, how i populate text from a cell into the same cell on another tab?
(It populates numbers, just not text)
Thanks in advance.|||Hi. There is a very simple method I use for doing that, and it works on both text and numbers.
Example:
In cell A15 on your sheet 1 tab you have a name, which you'd like to appear in cell A15 on your sheet 2 tab.
1. Click on your sheet 2 tab
2. Click cell A15
3. Type an = sign in the cell
4. Click on sheet 1 tab
5. Click cell A15 (it is now highlighted)
6. Press Enter
Now whatever you do to cell A15 on sheet 1, it will change A15 on sheet 2. You can test it by changing the text of A15 on sheet 1, or making it a number. Whatever you place in A15 on sheet 1 will show up on sheet 2.
Now, if you had numerous cells you need to do this with, just copy the A15 cell on sheet 2 and paste it into the other cells you need also on sheet 2.
Hope this helped :)
P.S. I use Excel 2000 and there is a template for an invoice on it. You can check your version to see if one already exists, if that would help you out. In your Excel, click on File, go to New, mine shows up in the Spreadsheet Solutions tab, Invoice.
If you need any other help, please feel free to email me.|||Say the text is in cell A6 on sheet1 and you want it on sheet2, go to cell A6 on sheet 2, type the = sign, click on sheet 1 tab, double click on cell A6 and enter and the external formula showing the contents of sheet 1 is there.
If there is more than one cell you want, you can group both worksheets by clicking on the first sheet, holding the shift key down and click on sheet 2. They are now linked. Highlight the data on sheet 1, right button copy, then up to edit, fill across worksheets and all data on sheet1 that you have highlighted also appear on the next worksheet.
This is invaluable when setting up multiworksheets so you have common headings and formulae. Don't forget to ungroup the sheets afterwards though by right clicking on one of the sheets and clicking ungroup.
After an update, my computer deemed my product key for my old windows 2007 office invalid. After explaining to my friend, he came over and installed a new windows office 2007 to my computer and the only difference I saw was that his was an enterprise. I asked him about it and he said he got it from a guy he new that worked with Fedex and that it was like a business version that could be installed into computers multiple times (he didn't even put in a product key).
Can anyone explain how his version was able to do this (bypass product key and install on multiple computers?) I did some search on enterprise and I still find that it is limited to a certain amount of installations, so how come his isn't limited. Or am I not fully understanding the enterprise version|||It's not *hacked*, your friend has an OPEN or CORPORATE LICENCE.
This is for large organisations who just buys one product key and copy for the software but can install it on multiple machines without activating it. They just have to make sure they buy the correct amount of licences it has installed on computers. For example, they would by 100 licences and install it on 100 machines. They could also install it on 200 machines if they wanted to and the product won't expire. However, Open or Corporate Licences are generally AUDITED randomly by a company contracted by Microsoft. So they do check up on the licences ever so often.
The idea behind OPEN/CORPORATE licences is that IT Staff can do massive roll outs of Office on company computers withint having to go and activate every single copy! Ie: Installing it on 200 computers and having to activate it all 200 machines would be a nightmare!
The software DOES REQUIRE a product key, but their IT staff would have packaged the product key INTO the install file so to make installation quicker. Hence why it looks like he's bypassing the product key - cause it's already 'wrapped' into the installation.
Your friend is therefore essentially 'stealing' his company's copy of Office. There may be a chance that later down the track, if this copy keeps on 'spreading', Microsoft will detect that there are 1000 copies of this product and it's key being used from multiple locations when Fedex only has 100 licences and will blacklist the product key (through Windows and Geniune Updates). This is what could potentially happen.
Hope that helps answer your question.|||His copy was hacked so it wouldn't ask for a key, happens all of the time. Illegal though.
I got the best anti-virus software i could find and it still didn't help. I was wondering if there is a way to completely erase the hard drive, without deleting the OS or Windows Office
All help is appreciated|||no need , it just needs cleaned up by someone who knows what they are doing almost never a need to reformat a pc . I read al these answers and questions here and i shake my head in disbelief . i have 11 PC 3 laptops , a server in my home / office none of them has ever been reformatted since installing the OS , never a virus , they are used and on damn near 24 - 7 run fast and
like new a little common sense and up keep goes a long way|||No dude, you can't erase or rather re-format your hard-disk without wiping your Windows OS as well.
If you have not already done so, you may wanna try the 30-day free trial Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008. It's abit out-dated I know. But hey, I downloaded it and helped me to get rid of some unknown viruses and trojans. It's just a small file of 65MB, which you may like to download from the link below :-
http://www.download.com/Trend-Micro-AntiVirus-plus-AntiSpyware/3000-2239_4-10440657.html
Hope it helps. Cheers !|||OK... for a last chance.. Install AVG Internet security or any ..update it... install Spy ware Doctor and scan you computer... fix all the problems..Un-install it . and at last install Spy bot search & destroy

and scan you computer...fix all the problems......I think you problem is not viruses but spy wares....
Hope you'll able to fix all problems.. best of luck|||Back up what you want by taking out your hard drive and poping it into another computer or external hard drive caseing. Once you have done that. wipe your hard drive clean. If you use Linux or OSx 10.5 for intel you will have a more useful computer and you will never have to worry about virus's again. The bottom line is that any thing to do with Microsoft is bad news. MS Windows is s**t|||That wouldn't be possible, considering the viruses are embedded in Windows.
What is it consider as the "best antivirus software"?
Although I use only free software, I find the best combination for viruses is Avira Free Edition, and Malwarebytes anti-malware.
I would urge you to try malwarebytes if you havn't already. I can't tell you how many computers I have fixed with this software. It's free too! Nothing to lose.
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Ant鈥?/a>|||not posible. They are woven into each other. The virus is in the windows files too so that wouldn't help.|||If your AV has identified the virus then it may be possible to download a spike from Norton or symantec that specifically targets the virus and can remove it.
Maybe take out your drive, connect it as a slave to another system and scan&clean it from that system, although this may also trash the OS but you may get away with a repair instead of a reinstall afterwards.
But reformat & re-install is the easiest|||No, sorry it's all or nothing
it's really easy to reinstall Windows though as long as you have your CD|||You can do a system restore... That will definately correct a lot of your problems.
If not, I suggest kaspersky.com. Yes malwarebytes is FREE and is decent, but kaspersky is a powerful full version anti virus, and has a FREE trial. So, when people are having serious issues, don't get something that is free 24/7, 365. Go out, download the best, use the 30 day free trial to keep clean, then buy or uninstall it.
This method is better than a OS install, and can sometimes save the day. I use it only as a last resort since you won't be able to get another 30 day trial unless you're good with registry.
Either way, you are back to a clean system for 30 days. In that time download the free stuff, and don't mess up again.
Using Windows Office in XP how do I make fonts as large as I wish. The format bar menu only goes up to 72 point. I'd like to make something 140 or larger.|||Go up to the menu bar and highlight the font size, i.e. "72", then just type over it, "140". Voila!
Or.... Hightlight the text...then hold the <Ctrl> key down and press the ] bracket, this will make the text larger, or [ will make it smaller.|||Sorry, but that is as far as the program will allow you to go.|||I suggest that you use Wordart. There you can choose a bigger size and you can drag your letter to an even bigger size afterwards.
Circuit city said that all the "free trials" on my new PC were going to slow it down by 33% and it would be best to erase everything and add only windows office. Of course there would be a $40 charge.|||Ok, so from what you have written, I take it you bought a "new" computer. For some reason you have returned it to where you bought it. If we are to assume you returned it for "service" because it appears "slow", or seems "slower" than when you bought it, then what you have written makes sense.
If this is not the case than what you have written makes no sense, maybe you should try again.
Ok, so if you are still with me then I have kinda guessed right.
Installing "free trials", and other assorted GARBAGE, on a computer will slow it down. To regain your original speed this stuff must be removed.
As to the $40 charge, well you added the crap, and someone must pay to remove it, and it's not covered under warranty.
What happens here:
When I build and sell a computer your "first one" (repair due to user error) is free. Next time it's $60.
But..........you could have used your restore disk(s) to erase and re-program your computer at home for free.|||They are right... the trials will slow down your PC and are usually worthless. I certainly wouldn't pay for the service though. Download PC Decrapifier and give it a run. It'll do the same thing for you and it's free and easy to use.
Download it here:

List of some of the things it will help you remove:
http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/apps|||I don't know what software you are using, but they might just be telling the truth. A lot of software has bits that load up when Windows loads and which stays running in some way even if you are not using it directly (Desktop widgets and Anti-virus, for example). These programs take up system resources and slow your PC down.
Of course, the answer might be that it's easier and cheaper for them to erase everything on your PC and to restore it to its factory default settings, than for them to find the actual problem. $40 isn't all that much for a service like that. Even at what those guys get paid they would likely not be able to find and fix a problem without racking up more than $40 in wages alone.|||The free trials are crap and you should remove them.
However their 40 charge is crap. Tell them your not paying crap, you are purchasing your PC from them so they should do it for free...if they can't then go somewhere else, they are overpriced in regards to products. In my opinion and from my experience some of their people couldn't program or troubleshoot a speak and spell toy let alone a PC.|||I agree with them. they will, and most of that stuff is useless anyway. I wouldn't spend $40 though. Download a utility called ccleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com It was formerly called crap cleaner and was origionally designed to remove this kind of stuff off of new computers.
Once you are done with that here is a great article listing free software you should download to replace the "free trials" you deleted. In most cases, the free alternatives are better than the crap your computer manufacturer crammed on to your hard drive. There are even a couple of free alternatives to MS Office on this list.
http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-9835鈥?/a>|||Yes that is true but let's be honest here.
Circuit City did NOT make that PC. They sold it. They have a service department that probably knows a lot more about the equipment than you.
That extra crapola on your new computer will certainly slow it down as most of it is running in the background when you boot up, instantly ready for you to use. Ready to use and taking up CPU Cycles rather than you click on an icon and have it running 3 seconds later.
About the $40.00 charge. Can YOU do it without messing up your computer? Do you trust some FREE ???? program to do it for you rather than muck up your system with more junk?
Why don't you see if they can clean your new computer of the junk and then make you a RESTORE CD of the system at the time they clean everything off. That way, if something goes screwy in the future, you just RESTORE to the day they gave it back to you.
I know Best Buy has a service like that.
The main word is ' Service '. If you can't do it, you pay the ones that can. That's paying for a SERVICE.
Sarge|||You can remove a lot of the pre-installed trial programs yourself from the add and remove Icon in the control panel. Why pay some one else to do what you can do?
As far as Microsoft Office goes, if you don't have the program, simple download Open Office. (it's open source software) It is free and will do exactly the same things that MS Office does.

But the purpose here is to identify the types of software needed to do your main functions and then find a model that comes with that software. Because, in the end, software will be your biggest expense over the life of the computer. So if you intend to only do letters, spreadsheets, presentations, then you've already figured that out. But what about photos and videos and music? Lots of people are into that these days and the software can be pretty expensive. So decide your main 2 or 3 purposes, then buy the best model with that software.

Could anybody tell me how much salary can I get in New York with the experience I have. I really appreciate your help on this. Thanks|||yes|||Your best bet is to find a job posting on an internet job board (like www.monster.com) in NY that matches your skills, write down the job title and go to www.salary.com and look it up.
Taxes may be listed in there as well though you may have to find and calculate the normal Federal and State income taxes on your own.
You have listed some pretty general skills so I'm not sure where to direct you exactly.
You need to come up with a great resume first and start submitting it everywhere. It will be harder for you to find a job in NY without living there first. List your goal to move to NY on a certain date on your cover letter/resume or you may get very limited response as companies may not want to pay to relocate you as well.

Your best bet is to monitor your child's use of the internet. You don't always have to be sitting there with him or her, but you should ask them about what they are viewing, and even talk to them about the dangers of pornography and their effect on our thinking about the nature of men and women and sexuality.
Additionally, you can buy something like Net Nanny or other software that blocks popular, common sites. Make sure all search engines your children use are set to "Filter Contents." Moderate filtering is OK, and Strict filtering will usually cause a lot of complaining from the kids.
If you worry about them a lot and want t know what's going on, you can purchase and install Covenant Eyes, a program that resides on the computer at all times and sends a copy of all visited websites to a user-defined e-mail address (yours!). Then, you can review what your kids are up to on the internet. I had a roommate who used this to help himself, and after getting permission, I did everything I could to try to disable the program and make sure it didn't report sites: I couldn't. I'm pretty tech savvy, but this program is well ingrained into the system (you can always delete it if you want to, but need the password).
Covenant Eyes cost a certain amount per month/year.
Ultimately, it is up to you to monitor your children. Do this by proactively asking them about their internet habits, talking to them about the dangers, keeping all internet-capable computers in open areas, and using basic blocking software and features.
Go into Internet Settings, and you'll find some very basic content filtering that Internet Explorer can perform, but it's not all that great. Sites must identify themselves as inappropriate for children, and any that don't are invisible to most blocking software. Besides, there's always a way around it.
Also, be on the lookout for file sharing programs that can distribute pornography as well, such as Limewire, Kazaa, eMule, Gnutella, etc. Additionally, video content is accessible via iTunes, so go into iTunes and disable anything beyond R, or Pg-13, whatever you prefer.|||There is simple method which i was using for internet explorer some months ago, its very good particularly if u dont want to buy softwares for blocking these sites.In internet explorer click on TOOLS->internet options->content.In the content advisor tab click on "enable".Now in the general tab, click on "supervisor can type password...." in the user USER OPTIONS tab and click on "create password" in the supervisor password tab. Now you will have to build a sort of approved sites' list.Each time u will go on a site IE will ask u for the password.U choose among the three options.if u choose "always allow web site to be viewed" then u will not have to type the password again else password will have to be entered.As for your children, you can allow several sites which you fit for them by typing the password. Also make sure that you have a good protection against spywares and adwares which will make "unwanted" popups appear.|||It is impossible to block all the porn and vulgar websites totally and there are many little softwares for that. Usually a parental control would do.|||1) Password protect your account on the PC so your children can't change your network/internet settings.
2) Created limited accounts for each of your children, and set, or allow them to set, passwords so they can have privacy from each other.
3) You can use two approaches to protecting your children from offensive content. One is to use parental control software - these packages typically rely on a continually updated list of offensive sites, and sometimes use image sensing to block offensive images. A second option is to use a whitelist feature to set those sites to which your children have access. In both instances, actively monitoring your children's internet use and helping them understand what they are and are not allowed to do is very important.|||bann them from the net or just deal with it nothing will block them all mabe half at the most check the cookies if they have looked at bad stuff bann them or ground them|||Use Windows Parental Controls features.

Most companies will use a solution like websense.
basically these filter websites via a predetermined list that updates. the kid programs will offer additional options like a time period that the computer can be used and other goodies. I would just advise you to do some research on them before going with one.
You can certainly create a separate windows login for them without admin privileges and use content control within the browser and even group policy without additional software.

This fall I'm majoring in Legal Assisting Technology, which requires the use of most Windows Office programs. One of my classes is an online course, thus I'm considering purchasing a laptop. Mac's are becoming increasingly popular but I will be using Windows programs. Is it possible to get Windows programs on a Mac? What laptop would you recommend?|||I too am a paralegal major going for my BS and I am quite happy with the basic DELL model with a version of Office student edition added.
Good Luck. This is a great profession.
P.S. The big bucks are in litigation and federal criminal appeals.|||apple anything|||yes you can use windows based programs on a mac with about a $200 or more program.acer has some good laptops. but get atleast 2gbs of ram, as much hard drive as possible, once you get it home delete un needed programs it will be loaded with bs programs that will create havok with windows vista. if you special order you can still get xp from what i have heard. also macs are no safer than a windows based pc they are all vulnerable to viruses, trojans and so on. so plan on getting avg free, spybot s&d, and adaware.|||If you want a Macintosh, you can simply load Windows on to it too, providing you have a copy or are willing to buy a copy. That way you'd have the benefit of both OS X and Windows.
Otherwise, check out the brand new Dell Inspiron laptops that were unveiled last week, they come with magnesium alloy cases (no more plastic), a choice from 8 different colors and your pick of either the 14.1-inch, 15.4-inch or 17-inch screen models. See here:
http://www.dell.com/content/products/cat鈥?/a>|||I dont know how long you still have in school, so I'll divide my answer in 2 categories:
1 year of school or less:
If you have 1 year of schooling or less remaining, I recommend a laptop for a workplace over one for a student. In a workplace, u'll need a wider variety of ports such as paralled ports, serial etc so that u can connect whatever equipment to your laptop. U might also need a floppy drive.
Most laptops nowadays dont come with those anymore, so u'll need to get them separately. External floppy drives are available as from 30 dollars canadian.
Parallel ports and serial ports can be obtained using docking stations or thru USB converters available in most computer
stores.
If you have more than 1 year of schooling:
I recommend a tablet pc. Although expensive, these are the most practical computers for a student as they allow you to take notes directly on ur laptop. No more need for paper. Profs post their notes online nowadays so u just have to open their notes and add to them during class b4 u print or u can always read on-screen. An alternative to tablet pcs (their configs are really bad compared to a normal laptop) is to buy a normal laptop and to get a USB tablet and stylus. With Vista, this combination immediately makes ur laptop into a tablet pc.
Windows based laptops are cheaper than macs and so far, their configs are also better. More software are available on windows than macs. Since most ppl use windows, u can be sure, IT support anywhere will have someone qualified to help u on windows.
Toshiba is a reliable brand. We had a Toshiba for 4-5 yrs now and we have never had any trouble with it. They are however heavy laptops.
I recently got a Dell. It's not too bad... but I only just got it. So can't say much about it. Cross fingers, it will be as good as toshiba.
Whatever you do, get a laptop with 2 GB ram at least. If u will be doing a lot of graphics stuff, get a graphics card with its own memory... not shared ones.
That's about it.
Hope this post was a little help.
Cheers.|||Yes, now you have to go through a process called boot camp to run windows through Apple. It is suposed to be slower than a pc on windows and not compatible to some software. I would recommend a PC. About 90% of LTs sold are PC.|||You should get a macbook for around $1099 and it comes with a iPod nano.|||NOT A MAC OR DELL!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT GET A MAC OR DELL!!!!!!!

Can it withstand the change and is it worth the money?|||I would not recommend upgrading to Windows 7 with a 7 year old computer. Mainly due to a few factors:
* It requires a 2GB RAM minimum to start up, 4GB+ for more functionality.
* All your parts need to be traded out for Vista/7 to function properly. Several parts on a 7 year old computers are not compatbile with either OS version.
** Video card incompatibility
** Sound card incompatibility
** CPU incompatibility probable
** Modem, ethernet card, etc incompatibility more likely
Plus 7 uses a good deal of Vista speed and you'll only perform good on Basic even if you up to 2GB or 4GB if at all possible.

Even a "low end" system these days would still have better specs than a 7-year-old thing, and your money would be best spent that way.|||since its seven years old i doubt it. windows 7 does have less overhead than vista but only barely. it recommends a minimum of a 1Ghz processor, 1 Gig ram and a directX 9 video card.
I strongly recommend twice the memory and twice the processor with a minimum of a 256 MB Vcard.
ive read a lot of reviews while beta testing win 7 myself and its just a slow system with the Microsoft minimums.|||Yes it can, although the video ram kind of makes me wonder how well will it handle the aero effects i believe it should work fine, the windows 7 installation requires 512mb of ram or it will simply throw you out an error about W7 minimal requirements and will exit setup right at the beginning of installation.|||Check whether your computer meet the requirements:

AdAware SE Spy Ware Protection - Free (www.adaware.com)|||did you know that macs are more vulnerable than windows? the reason you think that windows is more vulnerable is because 98% of computers are running windows. this means people who create viruses look at those odds, and figure if they write a virus for windows, it will affect more people. it's a lie that macs cant have viruses; this is a twisted form of the idea that windows viruses can't run on macs, which is a fact. there are a lot less viruses specifically made for macs. besides, just get AVG antivirus on there when you install windows, and itll stop the virus when you open one.

Seriously, don't thumbs me down because I didn't tell you how to fix internet explorer.
These two browsers are (in my opinion) the best two out, they are both extremely secure (unlike internet explorer), fast (unlike internet explorer), have good memory management (unlike internet explorer) and offer a wide range of good extensions (unlike internet explorer).
I really recommend you switch the browser for your client.
Edit:
These should enable internet access again, if you can ping an external address then the internet works, the browser doesn't.

~~ There are 2 ways.
The best way.
Your best bet for removing film from residential glass is to soak them in soapy water, using the garbage bag method . Spray soapy water all over the window then take a plastic trashbag that you have opened up or plastic sheets and press the plastic against the wet window. This holds the moisture against the window. Let them soak for an hour or so, then you will need to use a wide razor scraping tool (about 4" wide razor blade scrapers are available at the hardware store) to remove the film and adhesive.
Concentrate on removing all of the film, then spray the window with more soapy water and use a new blade to remove the left over adhesive.
You can also try removing tint using a Steamer
If you have access to a Jiffy steamer or similar steam machine, you can make quick work of tint removal. Apply the steam to a small spot for a few moments and use a blade or the spout of the steamer to peel the area just steamed, when you have enough to hold, just peel slowly as you steam just ahead of the area you are peeling.
This will bring both layers of tint off and sometimes the adhesive too, without presoaking for an hour.
DO NOT use a hot steamer on a cold day it will shatter the window. Use the steamer on a hot or warm window only.|||try a flat razor blade/ scraper type
I am going to be a student in college this year and I just bought a laptop but it does not have any Windows Office. I looked up online for the newest one and saw it was window 2007 which cost $150 but windows 2003 cost $50.

but its all down to your budget if you can afford 2007 I recommend that but if you are like a bog standard student and cant afford it 2003 would be your best option, but remember that 2007 has a more professional feel and look to it (I personaly splashed out on 2007 as a student and love the effects it produces)|||I would get the windows 2003, things are easier to find and if your friend gives u a document and hes has 2007, you can still open it using this from microsoft, and all u have to do is download and install it.

If you get 2003 you'll need to download a free compatibility pack form Microsoft in order to view 2007 office files.

Windows Outreach Team|||Windows 7 is an operating system: it is the successor of Windows Vista.
Microsoft Office is a really good set of programs. But Open office is for free and is for most purposes just as good. So download Open Office install it and if you afterward really think you have to have MS Office, well there is nothing to stop you.
Remember when you create documents in Open Office to be sure to save them on MS Office format. Otherwise you can get into problems if you send the documents over to others.|||Hi there,
Windows 7 is the best operating system Microsoft has "come up with" yet.
There are several versions of Windows 7. The version you want is Windows 7 Premium.
Win 7 Basic is a very "stripped down" version and does not have any of the good features of Premium.
Win 7 Starter edition is stripped down even more and (personally) I would prefer windows XP to it.
There also are 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows 7. If you have a choice the 64 bit version is able to address more memory but some hardware does not have drivers for the 64 bit version.
The 32 bit version can use almost all of 4 gigabytes of ram and any application or hardware for Vista should work in Win 7 32 bit.
I have Win 7 Premium (32 bit) and am very happy with it. I have Windows XP on two other computers and Win 7 is faster and has better security.
Once you have Win 7 go ahead and download Microsoft Live Essentials to get an e-mail program and photo viewer. (they are not included in Win 7 but are a free download).
Also download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. It is a fast, free download from MS that includes antivirus and anti-spyware programs. They update daily and do not slow down your computer. I use MSE on my Win 7 computer and really like it.
Second question: Microsoft Office
MS Office is great software. It is a little expensive but works well and shares the same "controls" between all the different applications. It has everything you need in an office suite.
But:
There is a very good alternative to MS Office called "Open Office". It has all the same applications and is about 97% compatible with any of the Office applications. Open Office is a free, open source suite of applications that competes very well.
My recommendation is if your computer comes with MS Office use it. However before buying MS Office try Open Office first (it may be all that you need).
FYI: All my earlier applications for Windows XP and even windows 95 do work in Windows 7.
Hope this helps and is not confusing,
al|||If we are talking simply usability, then it is very user friendly, offering useful features such as a search bar built into your start menu (saves me lots of time) and being able to click and drag documents to compare side by side.
For compatibility, generally speaking it is compatible with almost everything. You can definitely use facebook, msn, and all other social networking programs with it. You will, however, run into some problems when it comes to driver compatibility and older programs. But if you don't expect to be doing anything too complicated then you won't ever run into these problems.
I use Microsoft Office and I am very pleased with it. In fact it is all that I've used my whole life (except for Wordpad back in the day when I didn't know any better). Other people opt for other options (OpenOffice), but this is usually a matter of preference.
On the technical side, ask the person who is getting Windows 7 for you if the machine that you are running it on will be able to run it well. Windows 7 is more resource demanding than XP, and you should have AT THE VERY LEAST 2GB of RAM, 4GB being the recommended amount. Anything less than 2GB and go with XP.|||It's easy to use and yes it compatible with older programs, the windows software is easy to use and you'll have fun using it. The design of windows 7 is aesthetically pleasing if you change the themes and customize it the way you want to. Good luck :)

Type "headers" in the search and read about seven of the articles that offer help with this detailed design. That will explain it fully.
"Create a different header or footer for part of a document
When you create a header or footer, Word automatically uses the same header or footer throughout the entire document. To create a different header or footer for part of a document, divide the document into sections, and then break the connection between the header or footer in the current section and the previous one.
1. If you haven't done so already, insert a section break that creates a new page where you want the different header or footer.
2. Click in the section for which you want to create a different header or footer.
3. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
4. If necessary, move to the header or footer you want to change.
5. On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Same as Previous to break the connection between this section and the previous section.
6. Change the existing header or footer, or create a new one for this section.
Word automatically makes the same changes to the headers or footers for all subsequent sections7. To create a different header or footer for another section, repeat steps 1 through 6.

Need it urgently
fnx people|||In order:
1) Forget it. Use this guy as a firewall or something.
2) Fine, but put another 256 (at least) or ram in there
3) Again, the chip is okay. Try to get your RAM up to 512, and put the 20 gig drive from #1 in there.
4) Pull the drive. Take the rest out back and work out your aggressions on it...
5) take the drive from #4 and swap it for the 10 gig.. no further upgrades needed.
6) leave it alone it's fine.
For a modern office computer which is not doing anything too fancy, you should try get your specs up to 1 gig in the processor, at least 512 ram and 20 gigs of space on the drive....

"right or wrong" answer in this. What you feel is appropriate will most likely work.

although it doesnt have much memory, the RAM is pretty good, and the processor the nice...
proboly the most expensive of the list though...
the more RAM and higher GHz the faster and better performance of the computer.|||If it fits your budget go with option 6. Its better to have a fast performance CPU, and your other option is 1.5, which will only need to be upgraded if you ever decide to go to Vista. 1 GB because you will see a great difference in your PC's productivity with the extra 512 mb. Also if you have multiple programs running, you will not see the lag with 512 mb. Window's has some pretty high commit charges. Also the HDD space is really up to you. After your ghost files, and Windows files, the other HDDs will simply not leave enough space. Also they arent expensive these days, I mean a 500 Gb costs ~$100, so why not get an 80 Gb HDD to ensure you have space for the future.|||the answers is : 3GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 80GB hard drive.
because the hardware is totally will make your program run smoothly without any problems. if you choose others you may experience slow pc performance, beside when you typing something you will lost your data if the computer hang.

HI, im trying to send my CV out, I used word 2007 & saved it as a 2003-2007 .doc file. But the thing I've found with both this file format and others for example rich text, is that the original layout is not kept, sometimes it comes up as jargon and other times the layout is completely ruined. As it is my Cv I want the file to retain its original layout every time I send it to a prospective job advertisement. Is there a format that is generally universal, that will retain my original layout as im worried that the majority of people don't have word 2007 for example and wont be able to view my CV correctly. Or are there other ways that you can suggest (I was thinking about converting it into a pdf format possibly?)
thanks|||If you save a Word document in rtf or txt format you will definitely lose formatting if you have set it out using tables or tabs or graphics. However, there should be absolutely no problems in saving in 1997-2003 format, i.e. .doc as opposed to .docx.
I would advise however saving as pdf format and this is easy as it is a free add in with Office 2007.

I just bought Microsoft Office Student 2008 software for my Mac laptop and I plan to put Microsoft Office Student 2010 on my Windows 7 desktop. I have had very little experience with any word/excel etc. program and am completely lost. I decided to buy a book instead of just using the online help.
My question is since I am getting the same basic program except for two different operating systems, would either book tell me what I need to know to work the program on both computers?

Thanks|||The interface is quite a bit different. All the major features (font and color for instance), are the same, but other than that, the Mac version still has a menu bar, and a Photoshop-like toolbox instead of the ribbon. Also, don't get too attached to the UI on the Mac version- Office 2011 for Mac comes out later this year (you get it for free if you bought Office 2008 after August 1st), and it uses the Ribbon interface, similar to the one in Office 2010. They won't be exactly the same, but they'll be more similar than they are now.|||I'm not sure, since the Office 2011 beta was very small. I do know that Office 2011 is making attempts to behave like a normal OS X app, so the interface won't be identical.

Stop worring about it what ever documents you produce will not be lost. the computer will accept your new software at the end of the 90days of licence..

what should i do|||Ok.
I have a Macbook Pro (and after being a PC user my entire life, I am never going back to PCs), and I have iworks on it. The apple representative I talked with assured me it would work the same as windows office.
LIES.
Now, I actually do enjoy iworks. Theres a lot of cool functions in it that windows office never had. But what's annoying is that iworks does not save files into .doc format. Just not possible. And while practically every computer I know of can open .doc files (which you can only get if you have windows office), only another mac can open another mac file it seems.
This makes sending documents extremely annoying to your recipients unless you want to convert your documents to .pdf format every time, and that isn't always the best option.
If I had known this going in, I would have purchased the extra $100 it costs to get windows office over iwork. Windows office is simply more universally compatible - at least this is what I've discovered.

Alright folks, I don't even know if this is possible, but I've been given a task at work which i would like to automate if possible. Basically, I have to:
- Read .csv filenames from a windows folder
- Correlate a known string from each filename to a set of (known) character strings
- Create a table with that name in an Access database
- Copy a bunch of cells from the csv file into the corresponding Access table (always the same cells in the csv files)
Given that I have limited programming experience, and no windows scripting experiencing (though i have shell scripted in linux), can you recommend:
1) A tool to use for this?
2) Resources on this topic?

I am planning to get the Office student version that comes with 3 licences.
2 of these would go on the two computers I will have at home. However sometimes when I visit my family I use my mother's computer for my coursework and would like to have Office there.
Can I install this on my mother's computer even though I do not own the computer, it is at a different address and she would use the computer more than me over time?
Without buying the package I can't tell if the 3 licences must be on 3 computers owned by the same person/ in the same house or as I use my mother's computer for study I can include that one too.
Thanks in advance for advice.|||The spirit of the license is that you are supposed to install it on one computer and then use the other 2 licenses to make it more convenient to install the software on other computers in your same household, in the case that you own more than one computer and need to move around to different computers in your own home.
You aren't really supposed to use the other 2 licenses to provide to say friends and relatives who live elsewhere. Saying this, I doubt you would get any trouble over it since you paid for the software and that's better than using a pirate copy but if it ever went legal (doubtful) you should know that the purpose of the 3 licenses is to provide convenience to the person who purchased the software.

I recently updated my computer to include Windows Office 7...unfortunately, the licensing code had been used one too many times & I was unable to register my computer. Upon opening any programs it would warn that I only had so many more times to use the programs without registration before I lost certain capabilities - I thought it'd be something unimportant to me like creating graphs, etc., but instead I can't even type a word. Can I simply re-install an older version of Office over the new one or do I have to unistall?|||I'm afraid you're out of luck. Downloading and installing another free trial copy of Office 2007 (not Office 7) won't get you another 25 uses. Microsoft has that loophole closed.|||you first have to unistall in order to install an older version. you can麓t have two versions at the same time in the same computer.

Vista is still relatively new and there are alot of bugs that still need to be worked out. The new upgrades to Office really don't warrant buying it, not yet. XP is just fine. Don't create more problems for yourself. Vista looks good and has some nice new features but the internal workings aren't 100%.

my friend if this doesnt work than that means you are in a big problem|||Was it stolen? without the licenses you would also be considered a thief. Want a really great solution? http://pclinuxos.com is free and does everything, plus, more.
miss it can I get it for free please advice|||Firstly which is it you have lost is it windows or office, they are two different products. Windows is your operating system (such as XP or Vista), Office would be version 2000, 2003 or 2007. With regards to either of these it all depends on which version you had to start with. If it is an OEM version then you will need the original disc and key. If a business type version as long as you have the key you could potential use a disc from anyone else, as it is your key which denotes the licensing.
If you can't do this then there are alternatives out there, instead of Office try OpenOffice go to http://openoffice.org (ITS FREE)|||Run a system restore - Restore your computer to a time before you lost your program.

After that just do a normal re-install and you should be good.|||re-install it and make sure you have the product key|||Windows XP restore:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.asp鈥?/a>
Microsoft Office can be reinstalled, or repaired if still installed. If you removed it from Add/Remove programs or used the CD to uninstall, it can't be restored except by XP/ME restore or a previously installed "Go Back" type of program.
If you simply deleted some files, you might be able to restore them from the Recycle Bin on the desktop.
Otherwise, you can use a hard drive undelete/file restore program. Find them at download.com, tucows.com, and many other sites.
Otherwise, I agree with the other posters: reinstall from CD. (But presumably you would have thought of this and not asked the question using the word "restore.")|||Try running system restore and roll it back a an eailer date..If you have XP|||i usually use a "system restore" when i accidently remove a progam. im not sure if windows carries the "system restore" program from the windows software itself. if it doesn't, then you can just run the system restore program from your computer. if it does, then you will mostly likely need to re-download the windows software. if it is a newer computer, it normally comes with the windows software cd when you buy it. if not, then you'll probably need to go and purchase the software again which sucks.|||Go to start.

Before you start to re-install anything on your computer make sure any important documents are backed up.

This is driving me crazy! I installed Windows Office 2007 onto my computer less than a month ago. It was working great in both user accounts on my computer but then I had to delete one of the user accounts because of weird unrelated complications. So I was created a new user account, but now when I use that account I cannot find Microsoft Office in my programs. This is a standard user account. But when I go to the administrator user account, Microsoft Office is there! What the hell?!
Also, another problem ... I downloaded (then completely deleted) Bear Share from my computer. Now everytime I start up any of the accounts on my computer, I get this weird message from Windows Live One Care Firewall asking me to either block, allow, or temporary block my computer from accessing Bear Share. But I erased it! What the hell again!?!? How can I get this message to disappear?
Thanks!|||Answer to you second question is that you still have bear share in you computer. so you have to delete it completely from add/remove program. can be found if you go to control panel > add/remove programs..

I mean the various updates for windows, office etc with SP1. Should i delete them? the updates are eating the hard drive.|||Don't uninstall the updates that were provided by Vista SP1.
According to this page ( http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows鈥?/a> ), both Service Packs need to be installed -- and you need to install SP1 before you install SP2.

Hi!
Where can I get a free Microsoft Office download or a cheap one? I lost the product key code for our laptop we just purchased, and now we are locked out of the trial version... :( HELLLLLP PLEASE|||Microsoft Office isn't the only choice you have these days - and the alternatives are FREE and more compatible with older versions of Office formats than the new MS Office is. Go figure!*
You would probably do better with the independently developed product Open Office, which is both free and widely used. It's at http://openoffice.org - download it and break free from Microsoft's format lock-in.
There's also the new Lotus Notes - now owned and developed by IBM, based on Open Office but more geared toward big companies. IT'S ALSO FREE, so the question becomes: why pay Microsoft for a product that's not even compatible with their earlier versions when their competition does it all for free?
An extremely carefree choice - if you don't mind editing tied to the Internet - is Google Docs - free but not very useful off line. Google Docs is great for those who move between 'net-connected computers, but can be frustrating to those who commute or spend significant time with a computer separated from the Internet.
There's no substitute for having a stand-alone office suite on your computer, even if Google Docs is your main approach. That's why OOo is the way to go.
Good luck!

* My observation is that Microsoft plans obsolescence - purposely not supporting old Office formats and/or adding "new improved" formating to encourage [force] purchase of their latest and greatest suite.

For Office 2007 this is how you check it:
To view the Microsoft Software License Terms for your product after it is installed, do one of the following in these 2007 Microsoft Office system programs:
Access, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Program Name Options, where Program Name is the name of the program you are in, for example, Word Options.
Click Resources, and then click About.

Also, is there any Dell laptop you would avoid, had bad experiences with?|||if you're thinking of buying a laptop you should check out this site first. they give you a sony vaio laptop for FREE! all you need to do is complete a few quick tasks for them.|||I think what you want is a desktop replacement.

I do know that they have lousy customer support, and they had an incident with the batteries exploding a few years ago. I would avoid Celeron processors, and 2 GB of RAM should be the minimum on a Vista system.

I'm not sure if that link will actually work or not, but, just in case it doesn't, all you have to do is get the the laptops on dell.com under "Home & Home Office" and check the cheapest group (Dell Inspiron Notebooks). One of those would probably be fine for what you want to do. Just make sure you have enough Memory (at least 2GB, I'd say) and hard drive space (anything 250GB and up is good).|||If it is not being used for gaming, you will need a laptop with a sizable hard drive, at least 80GB. You will need a good chunk of memory/RAM, at least 512 [2GB if being used for Vista], and most of all, good battery life. Most other features would be irrelevant if its being used at home.
If you can pick up a laptop that comes without an OS or comes with Linux, that'll save you heaps of money. If you do that, get and install Ubuntu Linux (ubuntu.com), and learn how to use it. Its fairly easy to use, but may take some time, but getting your laptop ~$250 cheaper is far worth it, and Ubuntu supports loads of applications to do with home use :)
Regarding Vista: My advice is, avoid it like the plague.

I have never owned a Windows 7 Office but if I was to buy the 2010 version. Will it be updated so like when the new Windows office comes out will it update free or do I have to buy the newer version?|||Windows does not offer free upgrades. For awhile, Dell and other companies were offering free upgrades from Vista to Windows 7, but that was very short lived.
So, most likely, no. You'll need to spend another good chunk of money when the newest office comes out, Office 2012.
If you buy Office 2010 now, it should last you a good 5 years. I am personally still using Office 2003 without any problems (that was 8 years ago). I would buy office 2010 now (or wait a year for 2012), and not upgrade until Office 2016 or so (they seem to release one every 2 years).
No, you cannot install it on 2 computers. Businesses buy what is called Volume Licensing. Then they can install the disc on more than one computer. But you have to have a lot of computers to make that worth the money.
Hi there, there are two separate questions here so that it's best to separate them apart to avoid confusion.
1) Recently, I downloaded the software package "Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise" from the website Bittorrent. According to this website, the software package available for download is in 100% working status. After the download is complete, and when I try to install the software on my PC, I got an error message saying that "Setup cannot find the required setup controller file". So, what can I do to correct this error? Where can I find that "required setup controller file"?
2) According to Microsoft, the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 is supposed to be available for download today (Apr. 29, 2008). When I take a look at the Microsoft Download Center, the "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 Overview" is there on their website. Can you please tell me what is the difference between an overview version and a final version of a software package?|||1. Learn number 1 : Never trust torrent, only trust the original application from the original website. So I can't comment on the application from the torrent, because it can be a lot of reasons
2. Overview is just like briefing about the content of XP Service Pack 3 so it's not different of Service Pack|||1) I cannot answer your first question because it is illegal to download Microsoft Office 2007 from illegal torrent sites.
2) Microsoft overview is the one which still has some issues and the final has all the holes and issues patched up. Don't worry microsoft will automatically update your computer with service pack 3 if you have genuine windows and passed the WGA test. If not you have to wait for a while until it is released for public.|||Hi,
1) Your first question i am not going to answer because download Office Enterprise for free is illegal. Develpors have worked crazy to make it and you, behind your lasy computer download it for free!
2) Service pack are only all the previous security patches and some improvements packed into one downloadable pack. You might not be able to download it know but is normal. I only got Vista Service pack 1 about a few days later than it was released. Just wait a while.

If this only happens in one particular Word document, then in Word open the document and click on Tools | Unprotect Document.
If all new and existing Word documents are locked for editing, then it's probably because you have not activated your Word/Office software, or because you have an expired trial version of Office 2003.

If you have an expired trial version, a dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or purchase a key online.

Then I took my flash disk with me out of town and had to finish the exam using a friend's Mac. They were using Word 2011, and I didn't realize. I saved the finished exam on my flash disk, and now that I'm back home I can't open it! I have the Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system, but that won't open it. The format of the file is still ".doc", and I don't understand what the problem is. Is it a Mac vs. PC thing, or a Word 2003 vs. Word 2011 thing?

Desperate|||The default file format for Microsoft Word beginning with Word 2007 is (.docx). It makes no difference whether it's Mac or PC, just the version of Word. So Word 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 all use the same file format.
The default file format for older versions of Word is (.doc).
If your copy of Word 2003 has the compatibility pack AND the required service pack update, it will open both file formats. You don't have to uninstall Word 2003, but you do have to make sure it has all the updates in addition to the compatibility pack.
You can NOT change the format by changing the file extension. You have to use Save As within Microsoft Word to save a document in either format.|||You need to reopen the document in Word 2010 (Word 2007 may also work) or newer and save as an older format, in your case Word 2003 format.

What should I do?|||Depends on the OS you are using, XP requires a clean install. Vista can be upgraded.
A clean install is the best way and there are lots of tutorials on the subject. Just save your files on a flash drive or CD/DVD and do a clean install. Make sure your machine can run Windows 7 first.

I have a MacBook and am trying to figure out everything I need (software-wise) to run Windows on my Mac. I am a college student that am having some compatibility issues with some software for school. I have heard about something that lets you run Windows on a Mac in a separate window. (I think it might be Parallels...) . What software do I need to buy to run Windows XP & Windows Office on my MacBook? (I do not already have Windows XP and Windows Office software.)|||First of all, you're going to need a copy of whatever windows environment you want (xp, vista, etc..). If you want to run windows WHILE you run leopard, buy Parallels or Fusion. Otherwise, you can use Bootcamp to restart your computer in Windows.
-Hope this helps
-additional note,
Bootcamp comes free with Leopard, the operating system on any new mac computer...|||If you have an Intel based Mac and Leopard, use BootCamp. Go to Applications/Utilities and find the Boot Camp Assistant. It allows you to print out instructions, although it's really easy to use. You can also buy software like Parallels, which allows you run run a virtual Windows machine within the Mac OS.
I recently downloaded Parallels and want to be able to run Windows Office programs. I thought it would be a lot more simple but it asks me for an installation disk which I don't have, and don't want to pay $200 on top of the $80 i spent to get the program, any idea how to do this in simple normal people talk?|||I will answer this question in the general knowledge that:

2. you will do this with pride ;)

My friend lent me a Windows Office 2007 CD but when I just put the CD in my CD drive, My antivrus says Spoolsv.exe is a virus. I can see that file in the list of files on the CD. I haven't installed the program yet. Is it safe to install it? Is it a virus?|||If you want to print your Office documents it is REQUIRED..
The spoolsv.exe file is described as the Spooler SubSystem App or Windows Print Spooler Service and is the main component of the printing interfaces. The spoolsv.exe file is initialized when the computer starts, and it runs in the background until the computer is turned off.
The process spoolsv.exe transfers the data in a buffer. If the printer needs the data, it will retrieve it from the buffer. While the spoolsv.exe file is storing the data in the buffer, the user can carry out other operations. The spoolsv.exe process is also responsible for queuing printing tasks. Through this function, the user does not need to wait for each printing task to be completed one after the other.
To install Office - It is recommended that you turn off (suspend) your Anti-Virus software when installing Office. Then when Office is installed run a virus scan..I am sure you will be OK.|||It CAN be a virus masquerading as a legitimate process. Is the Office 2007 CD the ORIGINAL CD or is it a COPY? If it is a COPY then it is very likely a virus. If it is the Original, it is unlikely to be a virus.|||install it with other cd source or clean it with any antivirus

So I have had no problems with the Windows Word 2007 up until today. It asked me to enter in my product key and I did, I entered the 25 digit key from the bottom of my laptop and it said that it was invalid. I have my homework files saved in there and my laptop only has Word 2007 so that is the only program I can use to do my assignments with. I went online to try and find a solution to this problem and I stumbled across a forum in microsoft.com and I read that I could uninstall the program and then reboot my laptop so that when I reinstall the program again, I can enter in the product key and it would be fine. Problem with that is that when I did do that, I completely loss the Microsoft Office 2007 program and can no longer find it. So what I want to know is that:
1.) How can I reinstall Microsoft Word 2007?
2.) How can I get my Product Key valid?
Here is some more information that might help you guys:
-I have a Lenovo Y450 laptop
-It's running on Windows 7
-I don't have any other Windows Office program installed onto this laptop and the product key is blue|||You had a free trial copy of Microsoft Office 2007 and it expired after 25 uses (of all Office programs combined) or 60 days, but your uninstallation of it was irrelevant. It wasn't going to work again (even with another download) without a valid Office product key (the one on the computer is only for Windows).
You should be able to download and install an Office 2010 trial now (2007 is kaput) and probably get another 60 days out of it. When IT expires, here are some of your options for paying less than full price for Microsoft Office 2010:
First, if you're a student, you may qualify for the Office Professional Academic edition of Office at a pretty good price ($79.95):
http://www.microsoft.com/student/
Second, if you鈥檙e interested in buying just Word, check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/produc鈥?/a>
Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.
Finally, if you're willing to spend a little to save a little, Microsoft Works is available in stores for about $40.00. You could buy a copy, install it, then buy Office at the upgrade level. I think you'd come out ahead. Note that the upgrade copy probably checks your machine for Works' presence, so don't get rid of it after you've installed Office. You never know when you're going to have to reinstall Office.
Also, if you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2010 file format (.docx), here鈥檚 a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word (and Microsoft Works) to read and write Word 2010 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents. Some new features of Word 2010 will be lost or converted to straight text in the conversion to the earlier version.
Good luck.|||You might be in a bad spot. The number on the bottom of your computer was probably the Windows serial number, and not the serial number for Microsoft Office (which includes Word).
When you uninstalled Microsoft Office, all office components that were installed were removed. Depending upon the version of Office you were running this may include Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and or other applications.
Your computer should have come with some CD's or DVD's. Was one a Microsoft Office CD or DVD? If so, use that media to reinstall Office.
In the event your computer came only with "System Restore" media then you can use those. YOu should first back up ALL your data to other media (flash drives, USB hard drives, or similar). When you use the System Restore media you MIGHT lose any applications you installed that were not on the computer when you bought it, AND your data. So always, always, always back up first.
If you have no media, you can download a TRIAL version of Office 2010 from Microsoft. This will provide you with use for 60 days during which time you will need to either purchase Office 2010 or use another application.
The free trial download is here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/
Alternately, if you can download OpenOffice which is a free set of tools similar to Microsoft Office:
www.openoffice.org
Lastly, if you will be working online all the time you can use Google Docs.|||The key on your laptop is likely to be your windows key and not for your office program.
Was the office program on your laptop when you got it? A lot of computers come with it on as a trial and then you have to pay to use it after the trial is up.
If you paid for it and got it in a cd box then the code should be on there.
If you do find its a trial then try downloading open office which is free and legal on http://www.openoffice.org/ this will allow you to open your assignments :)

One idea is to upload stuff to google docs, which will handle multiple formats.
Other suggestion is to put XP on the eee. There's lots of stuff on the ASUS site to support XP, so it should run fine.

Access is very powerful and can hold tons of data. It's much easier to learn if you have some practical applications and examples to use.

Depends. Look at the comments of the file. That helps out a lot.

I bought my laptop with windows office word 2007 already downloaded. I did not realize it was only a trail version and that i could only use it 25 times. I had been doing tons of work in word and powerpoint only to reach my limit before i finished any of them. Now i have a lot of my work saved, but the whole office 2007 system is suspended until i purchase the full version. I installed office 2003, which i already had, thinking it would convert all my 2007 work into a file i could open in office 2003 but it didnt. Will i have to download 2007 to get all of my work? Or, is there something i can do to get my work on to 2003?|||You didn't mention what operating system you were using, but for Windows XP or Vista you can download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats.

I am about to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, the problem i have is that when i bought my computer it came with windows office integrated, but not with the actual physical CD, so basically when i first booted up my compyuter it installed everything automatically. i then made a recovery disk, but for the life of me i cannot find it any where. what i wanna know is whether i will lose my windows office when i install windows 7. I can't do an upgrade, which would guarantee all my programs and files are kept safe, as i am upgrading from vista home premium to windows 7 professional, so i deffenitely have to do a clean install. I just finished backing up all my files, but i just don't know what to do about office. Any ideas???|||If you have to do a clean install then no it will not be there when you install 7. BUT if it was there when you bought the computer I would assume that you paid for Office to be on there so you should be able to get some copy of it.|||Yes you will lose office and theres nothing you can really do about it without having the cd.

Why windows Office 2000 and 2003 files not working properly with Vista? Why the new windows office 2007 is not compatible with MS 95, 98SE and MS ME and 2000? Anyone knows whether will these be resolved or its permanently like this?|||This is the problem people have being asking about once I installed office 2007 on the PCs in the office... but don't you worry, even office 2007 is backward compatible. Just open your document normally if you have saved them with lower version of microsoft office then click on the office button on your 2007 and see the 'Save As..' option, select 'Word97- 2003' option and you can rename or do whatever you like with the.... Save your document and move it any where.. It should open.
However, you should note that for some features that are not available on your lower versions, the 2007 will convert such to some format which will be recognized by the version you have saved has.
Beyond money, Microsoft have developed the new 2007 on another platform with a view for the challenges of that are coming in the computer industry. I personally have found that worms and other security loopholes that are available with the lower versions of office are well taken care of...

good luck to you|||ITS COMPATIBLE YOU JUST GOTA HIT IT LIKE A NINTENDO CARTRIDGE AND GET VISTAL|||This is how bill gates keeps his money rolling in, cant you just be happy with xp why did you think vista would be any better?
Ha ha from bill.|||Making an new product compatible with older products does not work for any software manufacturer, whether it's Microsoft or Sun or Linux or Joe Blow. There are no plans to make Office 2007 compatible with earlier versions of Windows, in fact, that isn't possible. As to whether upgrades to Office 2000 and 2003 will make them compatible with Vista, only time will tell. It is much too early in the release of Vista to try to make these changes. If you are one of the ones who rushed to buy a new operating system and then spend the rest of your life complaining about it, too bad.
Windows 95, 98SE and ME are no longer supported by Microsoft. Win95 is going on 12-13 years old. Win98 actually came out in 1997 and is now 10 years old. WinME is a piece of junk - why anything is compatible with it is a mystery. Windows XP is now a stable and user-friendly OS. Why aren't you complaining about all the other equipment manufacturers? They need to make driver changes to go along with Vista and they haven't rushed to do so. They are just as much at fault. They knew it was coming, they were given specs and most of them decided to ride it out.
Many of these things occurred with Windows XP, though not to such a great extent. XP did require new drivers for almost all peripheral equipment, but then ANY new operating system does.|||why should it support out of date software. i dont understand not supporting office 2003 but any one later than that is just out dated software that can have a lot of security holes in it. as for office 2007 not being supported on any thing other than xp and vista. that seem right. why should it be supported on a plat from than is most likely gone and should be gone. the older os have major security problems. lets face it the days of 98 and 200 are now long gone. lets face it its either xp or vista and thats how its going to be till the new Windows come out.|||Any time you save a document in Word 2007, you have an option to save it in a form compatible with Word 97-Word 2003. I am running Office 2007 on XP Pro - the compatibility problem with Office 2007 is nothing to do with Vista. Microsoft should really issue a statement advising all users of Office 2007 to save their documents in the compatible form to allow the document to be retrieved on a computer running an older version of Office. I cannot say if the same problem occurs with Excel because I don't currently use Excel|||This incompatibility is because the new Vista OS operates in a completely different manner from the earlier Windows OS's.
MOST older applications will NOT work with it.
They have NO intention of attempting to correct this problem since they do NOT see it AS a problem. They see it as an "overall" improvement.
It ALSO "forces" you to buy other new software (and, in many cases, hardware) if you upgrade to the Vista OS!
Personally, I recommend going to "Open Office" that is FREE, and will read and write Windows Office files! (For some things I still use the "very old" DOS systems)|||That's because they have abandoned everything lower than Windows XP

i have windows office 2007 and my word documents are messed up. I have fixed the margins the orientation basically the overall page layout but still the courser is at the very top of the page as if there are no margins what so ever i have already spend an hour trying to fix it and what ever my friends try to do doesn't work so please if you have any idea what to do tell me because i have papers and reports to write and i need to fix this problem asap|||Sounds like you've accidentally turned off the Interpage display, which also turns off the headers and footers and the top and bottom margins, but first, let's make sure you鈥檙e in Print Layout view.
1. Click on the View tab on the Ribbon.
2. Click the Print Layout button all the way on the left.
Now here鈥檚 how to fix the Interpage display itself.
1. Find the solid black line between the pages or at the top of the first page.
2. Double-click it with the cursor.
That should bring things back the way you want them.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Even without doing any of the above, your file will print properly and will appear normal in Print Preview.|||are you sure you are not in the header section , try clicking the middle of the page.try to remove the header.
it is to low for your computer|||Ive had that problem...sometimes disks made on my computer wont read in other computers, whether they are running the same system or not....my son suggested that perhaps Windows 2000 uses the NTFS format as opposed to 98's FAT format|||coz they hv diff.file format and the compatibility is not fitted.|||ok so none of the answer above are correct or even close.
First off you mean to say why do disk formatted on my Windows 2000 PC fail to read on my Windows98 PC?
The main reason for this is the heads on the two PC's are just far enough out of alignment that they cannot read each others disk. Say the 2K PC's head are 10% out of alignment to the right of the floppy tracks it can read and write it's own disk fine but your 98 PC's heads are 10% out of aligment to the left yet it can read and write it's own disk but when going between PC's you get a 20% difference and that's to much for the drive to handle.
That's a very rough and certainly not technical reason you have the problem. The solution is to not use floppies and to use either network or flash drives. Floppies are just about useless at this point.|||If you have access to both computers, take the floppy drive from the win98 machine and install it on the win2k machine. Then you should be able to read the disks if alignment is the actual issue.
Every time I try to use any of my Windows Office products (word, excel, powerpoint) it does not allow me to click on anything and I cannot type. On the bottom on the screen it says "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked." Any help?? I tried to uninstall and redownload it.. but that didn't help! |||Maybe you have a free trial version of Office 2003 or 2007, and the free trial period has ended. Or maybe you did not activate your Office software after installing it.
What happens if you start Word 2003 and click on Help | Activate Product, or if you start Word 2007 and click on Office Button | Word Options | Resources | Activate? If you are already activated, a dialog box saying so will appear. If you are not activated, the Activation Wizard will start. If you have an expired trial version, a dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or convert (purchase a key) online.

Unfortunately, you would have to have the actual disks to do this.|||you cannot "copy" software from one place to another.
the idea is that you have to *install* it on the computer on which you plan to run it.

you basically have three alternatives:
- dig through the house and pray you have an installation cd somewhere
- go illegal
- accept a freeware office version (openoffice.org)|||Unless you have the disc, you can't copy the program files onto the new laptop because it was installed specially for the desktop, and even with everything copied over, it will give numerous errors.|||Go to cnet.com and download 'open office' for free.
