Microsoft Office 2003

Hi,
 I recently purchased a new computer to replace my other one that died of old age. I was running Windows XP professional and I had Microsoft Office 2003 on it. My new computer is running Windows
7 but no Office. So I installed my Microsoft Office 2003 on it. The installation went well but I keep getting an end users box that needs me to agree to the terms of use before I can use any part of it. It isn’t a major problem but just a pain. It is a genuine
copy of Office and was registered and activated with Microsoft in my name when I purchased it which brings me to my questions.
1. Is it necessary to purchase a newer version of Office? ( I’m not a wealthy person)
2. Is there compatibility Patches to bring Microsoft Office 2003 up-to-date?
3. If not why not?
4. How do you get rid of that @*#$%! Box.
Thank you
Lawrie  

Hi Lawrie,
Office 2003 is fully compatible with Windows 7, 32-bit as well as 64-bit operating systems.

If necessary, you could contact local Microsoft customer service to confirm if you can upgrade Office 2003 to newer Office.
Note: Microsoft ended support for Office 2003 on April 8, 2014. This change has affected your software updates and security options.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Buttons on toolbar do not work in Microsoft Office 2003 programs.

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 6.0.  My toolbar buttons do not work in any of my Microsoft Office 2003 programs.  I can Print file and change the print file to Adobe PDF to convert, but it would be nice to be able to use these buttons on the tool bar.  When I run my mouse cursor over the buttons it tells me to "see Adobe PDF menu for settings."  Can anyone help me?

    Did the buttons previously work in Office 2003?
    The best information I could find is a troubleshooting guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317147.hml  Make sure your installation of Acrobat and Office are fully updated.
    As a side note, Adobe stopped developing Acrobat Elements in 2007. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatel.html

  • KM Image file name for Microsoft Office 2003 documents

    We want to change the images which display for Microsoft Office 2003 files loaded into KM to something more recognizable, but we CANNOT find the image files for .XLS, .DOC, .PPT, etc.
    Any Ideas what they are called?  Are they in the standard image repository?
    Thanks!

    Hi Brian,
    the icons are saved under /etc/public/mimes/images.
    You can go to KM Content and upload there your own icons, You can either replace the SAP standard ones (ie: document.gif for .DOC) or you can change the KM Configuration (Content Management -> Utilities -> Icons) so that your own icons are associated with the MIME types you want to change. The second solution should be more upgrade safe in my opinion.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Acrobat Standard 8 on Windows 7 printing issues with Microsoft Office 2003

    When I try to print from Microsfot Word, Excel, etc. Version 2003 files will not print. I have adobe standard version 8, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit, Microsoft Office 2003. Please help!!!!  I don't get an error message. The progress bar stops at about 10% and goes no further.

    AA8 is not certified for Win7, particularly X64. Be sure to update your Acrobat to the most current version and you might be able to use it. As an alternative, print to file when using the printer and then open the file in Distiller to get the PDF. That may be your only choice, but I do think some folks have been successful with WIn7 and AA8. However, the x64 system puts a wrench into the problem.

  • Where is the logfile for Acrobat Pro Extended 9.2 on Windows ? (regarding Microsoft Office 2003)

    My installation of Acrobat Pro extended works printing all types of Microsoft Office 2003 documents (Word, Excel, Pagemaker, etc) but NOT with Powerpoint and I'm trying to get more information other than what I'm seeing in Powerpoint when I try to create the PDF which is "an error occurred while trying to print the Adobe PDF"
    where would I look for the log file?
    thanks

  • What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

    I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
    The three plugins in question are:
    Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
    Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
    (WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
    Google Update Unknown ? Research
    Google Update
    Thank you in advance.

    hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

  • Microsoft Office 2003 Business Edition activation issues

    I just got my MacBook Pro for college and I was trying to activate Microsoft Office 2003 on my Windows Vista Bootcamp partition and I ran into this issue. At first I tried activating it on Windows XP, it didn't work. I installed Vista, it gives the same error.
    I've Google'd, Bing'd, and whatnot. Usually I can figure this stuff out, but I can't get it to activate.
    Here's a pic of the error I get when I try to activate over the Internet:

    I need to figure this out before tomorrow, as my "Big Presentation for my Senior Year" is due. Thanks.
    Edit:
    And for those wondering, I ran it on my desktop and it activated perfectly. No issues, even activated under Crossover on the Mac (But it has issues when it comes to Powerpoint).

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    might indeed be that you activated your Office one time too often.
    Microsoft seems to only allow a limited number of online activation before they suspect some dishonest useage of their product.
    Might be best to do what that error message proposes: to call Microsoft and explain to them your situation and ask for a new activation key.
    Good luck (and also with your presentation)

  • Microsoft Office 2003 Installation Problem

    I tried to upgrade the old microsoft office to a newer Microsoft Office 2003 but I expirience an error on it and it say's "ERROR 1913.Set up cannot update file C:\Windows\win.ini. Verify that the file exist in your and that you have sufficient permission to update it".What am I going to do with that?

    Hi Ben
    Toshiba has nothing to do with that. In my opinion the answer must be search on some Microsoft Office forum or Microsoft knowledge base.

  • Microsoft Office For Mac Os X & Microsoft Office 2003--Help Please!!!!!!

    My new job requires me to be very familuar with Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows, however currently I use Mac os X. Can I learn office on the mac? How different is Microsoft Office Version X (the one I have now) versus Microsoft Office 2003 for windows. Thanks!!

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office 2003 on my mac

    Hello all,
    I was just attempting to install Microsoft Office 2003 (Student and Teacher Edition) on my Mac and I haven't had much success thus far.
    Basically I've put the install disc into my Mac, the disc icon pops up on my desktop, but I can't seem to get it to install. Should it be doing this automatically, or is there something else I need to do? I've tried dragging the disk icon to my applications folder, but not luck.
    I feel like this is a relatively elementary issue, but I haven't been able to find any other help regarding this specific problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time,
    Garrett

    Office 2003 is for Windows only. 2004 and 2008 run on Mac OS.
    If you are in fact using 2004 or 2008, then please post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products at http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

  • Microsoft office 2003 not working after software update

    I tried opening up my MS Word and Powerpoint programs last night by clicking on their icons.  It did not open.  However, I opened the programs a few weeks ago when I created several documents but now nothing.  But at the same time it does open my existing files using these programs.  And when that's happened, I am able to close the existing file and do a FILE: NEW and save with no additional issues.
    I have a feeling that the most recent Software Update 2011-002 is to blame.  Just like when previous versions were to blame when it disabled my previous version of Photoshop.  Also, just as the last Safari update a while back still continues to cause problems for me when I try to check my email on AOL for Desktop for Macs forcing me to go directly to www.aol.com over the web.
    What can I do to remedy this problem without having to purchase an updated version of MS Office?  I personally don't believe the latest version of MS Office will work on my laptop because it DOES NOT have the Intel chip.  Unfortunately, I purchased my laptop just prior to the Mac Intel processors came out on the market. 
    In conclusion, each time the program crashed or stalled when I tried opening it multiple times I sent a report to Apple.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Send me an email if necessary.  I don't always log into the Apple site.
    Thanks, Christie

  • Adobe reader/Microsoft Office 2003 problem

    When downloading pdf file which opened to Microsoft Office I was presented with a File conversion window which invited me to " Select the encoding that makes your document readable"
    I have not come across this before and have previously successfully downloaded files from the same source.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    Alistair.

    Usually you can just right-click on a pdf and choose Open With and instead of choosing something from the list instead select Choose Program at the bottom of the flyout. Then choose Reader and then check Always use the selected program...you should now be able to click on a pdf and have it open in Reader instead of Word.
    Good Luck!
