EMET and Office 2007/2010

What is the EMET support team's position on EMET for all Office 2007 applications?
Will this ever be a "supported" configuration (maybe on 2010?) or will these techniques be incorporated natively into Office?
This is an exciting product and I thank Microsoft for investing in it.
My idea of a party is a virtualization server and a room of TechNet DVDs

Thanks Daniel for your words on EMET.
We have been successfully enabled EMET for Office 2007/2010 without problems. Having said this, depends on the
scenario where you are using Office 2007/2010 and the plugins/macros you use on the daily basis.
As always, I encourage you to test it in your specific scenario and tweak the mitigations that could affect your
normal usage of such applications.
Thank you,

Acrobat 8.1 and Office 2007/2010 Professional

I have a user stating she can't create PDF's from within Acrobat 8.1 Professional. When she selects Create pdf -> From File and selects a word document from her desktop, it gives her the following message: "Unable to open document...Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file". I was able to create the pdf by using Word's save as function. Her machine is Windows 7 with Office 2007. A similiar situation happened to another user who has Windows XP/Office 2010, when he attempts to create pdf using the same method above, he gets the following message: "Missing PDFMaker files". The Acrobat plugin is not disabled. Anyone have any ideas?

Big difference between 2007 and 2010 verisons of WORD. Also, you need to update AA8 to have hope of getting Acrobat to work in Win 7. Adobe will tell you to upgrade to AA X with Win 7 (they do not support AA8 with Win 7, but several folks have gotten it to work in the 32-bit version of Win 7). Any operations for AA8 in Win 7 are always a potential for failure. However, first try to print to the Adobe PDF printer from WORD. That should work with either 2007 or 2010. With AA8, that is ALL you can do with OFFICE 2010, nothing more.
With OFFICE 2007 you may be able to get things to work. You need to insure PDF Maker is active in WORD -- it shows as an Adobe menu item. If that does not show, then you will have to activate the macro in WORD. If you get the macro working, you may be able to use that menu to create a PDF. If that works, then you have a chance of opening a DOC file in Acrobat. If PDF Maker does not work, then you can not open a DOC file in Acrobat.

Windows 7 + Office 2007 & 2010 VERY slow saving files to on 2008 R2 files shares

OK I have litterally tried everthing in every forum there is to resolve this. It is only happening on our Win 7 workstations that are running Office 2007 or 2010. Our file shares are on a 2008 R2 server. Opening and saving files on the shares using
Office is very slow. I have tried updates and server and workstations are 100% up to date. The server is only running as a file share server. Nothing else on it. We have completely set up new PC's to test with clean Win 7 installs and nothing else except Office.
Nothing else on the network is slow at all. I have tried all the hotfixes in the world that could relate to this from many hours of research into possible causes. I have done the EnableShellDataCaching fix, the SMB 2 disable fix, the windows search/indexer
fix, the pdfmaker fix, the lookup wizard add-in fix, the go to the newest firmware on the cisco switch fix, update workstation nic driver fix, the Trusted Locations in Excel fix, and about a dozen other fixes. NOTHING WORKS! This has brought our Win 7
and Office 2007/2010 users to a halt in their ability to do their jobs. Our company is suffering badly. And did I mention that our IT dept is getting a lot of heat and criticism about it. FYI we are running an IBM E5450 with dual multi-thread
multi-core(8) 3 Mhz Intel Xeon processors with 2008 R2 64-bit, 12 GB ram, and the server is using litterally no resources. Network connected is Gigabit. This has to be a Microsoft issue with 2008/Win 7/Office 2007&2010. This has become a nightmare for
out IT dept and has consumed weeks of our time when we need to be working on other projects. Can anyone solve this. Microsoft: Please release a REAL fix for this that we can run on the server or push via GPO to the workstations.

Office 2010 components, such as Word 2010?
At this time, I suggest trying to start Excel in safe mode. Then, open the Excel file or create a new Excel file, and save the file to the network again.
Start the Excel program in safe mode
1.       Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2.        Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Microsoft Excel.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
Disable add-ins
Click File menu, click Options > Add-in, click Go button in the Manage: Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins, clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In, restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
====
Is the performance also slow when you trying to save the Excel file to other network path?
At this time, we can also try to test this issue in the clean boot mode.
Test in Clean boot Mode
===============
Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.        Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3.       Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This should not affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.
What’s the result now?
How to return from the Clean Boot state
After the troubleshooting, we can return from the clean boot state:
1.       Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2.       On the "General" tab, click "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services".
3.       Click OK. Click Restart when you are prompted to restart your computer.

Adding user created templates into Office 2007/2010 using Group Policy

I am trying to show some of our templates that we have created for work within Microsoft Office (work and excel) but I want them to show for everyone and not just 1 or 2 people. Being in a company that employ's 200+ people in multiple locations, the
task to manually go around to each and every machine to point to a different set of templates seems very time consuming. I am wondering if there is a gpo and/or registry edit that can be used. Anybody's assistance is greatly appreciated!
We have a mixture of Office 2007/2010. Server is a Win 2008 r2 standard.

Hi,
You can create and deploy custom templates using the steps below:
1. Create your templates.
2. Create thumbnail and preview files.
3. Create an XML configuration file that describes the custom template, thumbnail, and preview files.
4. Deploy a registry key that enables Office to read the XML configuration file.
For more information, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178976(v=office.14).aspx
In addition, a simple way to achieve the goal is setting the file location for "Workgroup templates" and save the custom templates to the shared location,
then users can select the templates via File > New > My Templates. To change the location, you can modify the
SharedTemplates key under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Common\General].
Hope this helps.

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

Having problems with OPA 10 and office 2007 templates

Hi,
I have a OPA 10 and office 2007 set up which is having some issues with the macros. Seems to me that the visual basic code is not kicking off really well sometimes. I am trying to map the sequence which leads to the errors and I believe that the issue is around opening an old word doc which has a old template version (.dot). This may be the cause for OPA getting lost when working with word 2007.
For example, I ask to open a rules doc and the visual basic tells me that OPA couldn't open the doc but word is opening the doc anyway. However none of the toolbar commands work as well as I can 't save the doc etc.
Have you experienced any issue with OPA 10 and Office 2007? Any special word configuration? Should i go back to office 2003?
BTW, I have both dotm and dot templates loaded as add-ins in word. The dotm toolbar looks good but the dot toolbar is a bit strange in 2007.
Cheers,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
Have a look at the following tips from Davin Fifield about troubleshooting the toolbar.
Sometimes when using Oracle Policy Modeling, Microsoft Word documents that are part of a Policy Modeling project may appear without the OPA toolbar (in Office 2003) or OPA options on the Add-Ins ribbon (in Office 2007) when opened in Microsoft Word.
This problem can be caused by various factors.
Here are the top three troubleshooting steps to try to recover from this situation.
1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
2. Try changing the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options, from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Selet General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
Does this resolve your issue?

Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2007 Problem

I posted this in the CS3 forum originally. They told me to post here too.
Issue:
When logged in as a local user (no admin rights) Word 2007 will crash the whole computer when you type a key.
The reason I am posting on Adobe forums is that this only happens when CS3 is installed as well on the same computer.
Troubleshooting:
Both products work fine as a local user account, if only one or the other are installed.
During login, Acrobat Pro will display a MSI/Installer progress bar for about 30secs. After I updated Acrobat to 8.1.3, that stops, but the Word crashing problem doesn't.
When starting Office, setup runs everytime. It shows just a progress bar and goes for about 1min.
On a doc, if I wait about 5min and don't do anything. A MSI install progress bar will run for "MS Office 2007 Pro", this will re-spawn for several mins. until it finally stops. After that, Word IS usable.
No other problems with CS3.
Fully updated both CS3 and Office 2007
This could very well be an Office issue, but it is associated with CS3 also being installed on the same computer.
Any help would be great!

Forgot again! Using XP Pro sp2 and sp3.

Agree, this looks like an interaction between Acrobat 8 and Microsoft Office. The symptom you used to see (prior to 8.1.3) was probably Acrobat's "self-healing" process trying to fix something in Office, probably related to the PDFMaker feature that is installed into Office. Perhaps you have a somewhat unconventional installation of Office 2007 with custom registry settings?
Also, you mention that Word "crashes the whole computer" - are you referring to a BSOD or what? Word (and the Acrobat plug-ins for PDFMaker) don't go into any protected mode that can cause a full system crash. Very strange!

Internet Exporer 8 and Office 2007 Supported?

We currently have a client running BOE XI R2, and they are considering deploying Internet Explorer 8 and Office 2007. They use Web Intelligence as their main reporting environment.
Does anyone know if IE 8 and Office 2007 are officially supported at any BOE version? I have been unable to find the Supported Platforms document on the new SAP site.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello Tim,
What SP/FP are you on?
In any case, Office 2007 is supported on SP5. IE 8 is not supported. The newest supported version of IE is 7.
The Support Platforms document is available at the Business Object Article site [here|Articles].

Does the 932C HP printer with 2 sided printing accessory work with window 7 and office word 2010?

(model#C6463A-double side, printing accessory), for the HP 923C printer? Is it real slow printing? Does it flip by itself or do I have to flip it? Also will the printer with the accessory work with windows 7 and office word 2010 to type 4 pages per sheet, like a book? Thanks and please help me!

Hi @Happyforhelp
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Deskjet 930/932c Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Pub 6.4 and Office 2007 file extensions.

Hello all,
I had an issue pop up recently regarding ALUI 6.5.1, Publisher 6.4, and Office 2007 files.
Our user base was upgraded to Office 07 several months ago, and we modified our crawlers to handle the new file extensions. We also have a Publisher portlet where users can post various for sale items; kind of a company bulletin board. This portlet uses the News template and sometimes users will attempt to publish a Word or Excel document link to accompany their for sale item. The portlet will publish okay, but when we click on the doc link we get a pop up window that shows the file name with a .ZIP extension and not the correct .DOCX or .XLSX extension. Of course the file does not open either.
Other than instructing users to save files in the older format/name, is there a way for Publisher 6.4 to support the new file extensions of Office 07? Would this work in Pub 6.5?
Thanks for any help.

Any solution to this?
We are on Publisher 6.5 and are getting the same error.
I'm assuming this is an issue with the Publisher mime-types (which aren't the same as the general portal mime-types) not being set for the new extensions?
But it is curious that it is redoing them as .zip files!

RoboHelp x5 and Office 2007

Does anyone know if you are able to operate RoboHELP x5 and Office 2007 without it shutting down with errors. Currently we have a help system set up and we were updated to Office 2007 late March. We are now having quite a few difficulties making changes to documents that needed updates. Usually the documents were loaded as MS Word docs and then during compiling transformed to .html files. Now with the Office 2007, RoboHELP doesn't want to import any documents because of the fact that X5 doesn't support Office 2007. Is it possible to import the files as .html files instead to sidestep this issue? Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am a new user of RoboHELP with limited people who know how this program works.
Thanks!

Not a chance. Sorry but you will have to upgrade.

Office 2010 and Office 2007 on same machine

I am currently running the following:
Xcelsius Engage 2008, service pack 4
Windows 7, 64 bit
Office 2007 Ultimate, 32 bit
Everything working well
I purchased a version of Office 2010 Home and Student - it has both 32 and 64 bit versions. My plan was to keep Excel 2007 on my machine so that Xcelsius would still work. Then, I loaded the 64 bit version of 2010. It seemed to work for a session, Xcelsius seemed to pull on the Excel 2007. Then I restarted my machine and Xcelsius could not launch excel. It seemed to occur right after I tried to import an xls that had been created in Excel 2010.
My question is: is it possible to successfully run Xcelsius with Office 2010 Home Student 64 bit? Should my strategy of keeping Excel 2007 have worked? Or should I accept 32-bit is the reality for the next few years?
Also, I see that Xcelsius does not support the Home and Student version of Office. Why is that? Isn't excel, powerpoint, word, the same regardless of the version?

Hi,
As soon as you restart your system office version is updated to latest version of office that you have installed(64 bit)
Go through the following link for supported platforms and versions :

Install Access 97 and Office 2007 on Windows 7

Hopefully this is a useful discussion for anyone wanting to run Access 97 on Windows 7 especially if the intention is to also load Office 2007
or 2010 in addition to Access 97.
I have successfully installed Access 97 SR-2 starting from the Office 97 Professional CD for SR-1.
The level of Windows 7 (64 bit Professional Version) was as installed on a new Dell machine in July 2010.
I then loaded Office 2007 as the main office system. As mentioned elsewhere the requirement to also load Access 97 is often dictated by the need to maintain
legacy applications which continue to be run very successfully at this level of software under Windows XP or similar.
The full procedure and list of problems overcome is as follows:-
1)
Make a custom installation of Office 97 into an Office97 folder selecting only Access and its associated data utilities.
2)
The error message CTL3D32.DLL not correctly installed – must be installed in the Windows System Directory can be ignored. Should find it is already in the
Windows\System32 directory.
3)
If you now run the SR-2b update (SR2bOF97.EXE) for Office 97 it will fail unless you do the following:-
a.
create two new temporary folders – say folder97 and foldersavefonts
b.
copy the windows fonts relating to tahoma and comic (4 files) from \windows\fonts to foldersavefonts.
c.
extract the files from SR2bOF97.EXE to folder97 using Winzip or similar.
d.
select the four font files relating to Tahoma and comic and right click to then install these fonts in Windows 7.
e.
if you do not do the above the SR-2 install fails because of a version problem with the fonts.
f.
now run SR2bOF97.EXE in the normal way. It should be successful – if not the situation is different to mine and the log will need to be viewed to troubleshoot
the problem
g.
finally go to foldersavefonts and install these fonts back into Windows 7.
4)
It is now recommended to run the Jet3 patch
Jet35sp3.exe which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
5)
At this point you should have a fully working Access 97 system. This procedure should also work for Word, Excel and Powerpoint but not Outlook.
6)
Now install Office 2007/10 as required preferably a custom installation into an Office20xx folder.
7)
If you have installed Access 20xx there will be a conflict between the Access 97 and 20xx installations. Both version work fine (ignore the message to rerun setup)
once loaded but Access 97 will need to be run with Administration permissions (right click the short cut and click administrator) after running Access 20xx. In a similar way Access 20xx will rerun its registration processes after running Access 97. This situation
occurs whenever you move between the versions unless you follow the following steps.
8)
Load Access 20xx to ensure that it is registered.
9)
Use notepad to create an empty file MSACCESS.SRG – suggest in folder97
10)
find the Microsoft supplied MSACCESS.SRG – this is installed in the folder name specified in the custom install of Office 20xx. Rename this file to MSACCESS.SRG.SAV.
11)
Copy in the empty MSACCESS.SRG from folder97 to replace the correct version.
12)
This trick seems to prevent the conflict between Access 97 and Access 20xx. Remember if any reinstall work is needed for Office 20xx to reinstate the Microsoft
supplied version.
13)  There
is a documented problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproappcompat/thread/4f729cea-aafb-4d4a-b863-705a13de486a relating to a UAC issue but this seems to have been corrected in currently shipped builds of Window 7. If the problem does appear there
is a Microsoft supplied fix for the problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978591/
14)
Finally, in case anyone needs to make a clean start in new folders. I have also found that the above procedures are still repeatable after standard uninstalls
of both Office 97 and Office 20xx
15) If ISAM problems occur with txt or .xls files it is likely that the .DLLs need to be manually registered. To do this use
the command line and type C:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\mstext35.dll. This will register mstext35.dll. Then type:- :\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\msexcl35.dll. This will register msexcl35.dll
If anyone finds additional problems or information would be pleased to see them posted here.

Hi,
Thanks

experience in forums,.
