Office 365 installed, can't choose Word 2007 as the default program for docx and doc files

I have a client who just installed Office 365 on his Windows 7 PC. He still has Office 2007 installed. He's struggling with the changes in Word 2013 and wants me to uninstall Office 365. I thought I'd just set the default program association for .docx and
.doc programs to Word 2007 but that doesn't seem possible. I can choose Default Programs, Associate a file type etc., and find the .docx extension. The current default is Word (desktop). I highlight the .docx extension and choose Change Program. The older
version of Word isn't listed so I click Browse and find Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe. Click OK, OK, OK, etc, but .docx files still open in Word 2013. The Default Program applet evidently sees all versions of Word as the same and refuses
to change the association. How do I accomplish this ridiculously simple task?

Fixed. Used a great little app from NirSoft called
FileTypesMan. The built-in Windows utilities are getting worse by leaps and bounds.

Undoing Open Office being the default program for text and other files

After problems with Power Point crashing down, I downloaded Open Office to save some files on my mac. thanks to Open Office I managed to save the content, but now Open Office seems to become default program to open word, ppt etc. files on my mac. How can I undo this?

Change it from the Open With section of a document's Get Info window, and then use the Change All function.

Please Help! How do i make MS OFFICE the default programs for opening files

Hey,
Someone please tell me how to make MS OFFICE the default for opening up excel, word and pp files....Ever since i migrated all my stuff to my new 24in everything opens up in iwork instead of office, which is really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
JW

Hi skymedic: Quite easy to set the default program actually. Find a file you need to open, single click. then Right Click and select "Get Info". When this window opens, select the program to be used then click "Change All'. Please note you will need to do this for all file types you want to open with Office. EG: .DOC .PPS .PPT .XLS etc..
Good Luck

Word 2007 Addin to add Watermark image saved as .doc file

I currently have an addin that was developed to work in both Word 2007 and Word 2010 with the assumption the addin would be used on .docx files. However, it is now required to also work on .doc files but still with Word 2007 and Word 2010. Although
the following code works in both versions of Word, it will only work on .docx files and not .doc files. On the line:
Dim shape As Shape = doc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strWatermarkFile, linkToFile, saveWithDocument, headerfooterRange).ConvertToShape()
I get the Error
HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
My code that works in
2007 on .docx files and not .doc files is:
Public Shared Function AddWaterMark2007(strWatermarkFile As String)
Dim app As Application = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application
Dim doc As Document = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument
Dim headerFooter As HeaderFooter
Dim hfIndex As WdHeaderFooterIndex = WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterFirstPage ' WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary
Dim linkToFile As Object = False
Dim saveWithDocument As Object = True
If doc.Sections(1).Headers IsNot Nothing Then
headerFooter = doc.Sections(1).Headers(hfIndex)
ElseIf doc.Sections(1).Footers IsNot Nothing Then
headerFooter = doc.Sections(1).Footers(hfIndex)
Else
headerFooter = Nothing
End If
If headerFooter IsNot Nothing Then
Dim headerfooterRange As Object = headerFooter.Range
Dim shape As Shape = doc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(strWatermarkFile, linkToFile, saveWithDocument, headerfooterRange).ConvertToShape()
shape.LockAspectRatio = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue
shape.WrapFormat.AllowOverlap = -1
shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = WdRelativeHorizontalPosition.wdRelativeHorizontalPositionMargin
shape.Left = WdShapePosition.wdShapeCenter
shape.ScaleHeight(1, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue)
shape.RelativeVerticalPosition = WdRelativeVerticalPosition.wdRelativeVerticalPositionMargin
shape.Top = WdShapePosition.wdShapeCenter
shape.ScaleWidth(1, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue)
shape.Name = "WordPictureWatermark"
doc.Sections(1).PageSetup.DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = True
End If
app.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument
app.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView
End Function
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi Voyagr,
I also could reproduce this issue too.
Since the issue is complex, I'm trying to involve some senior engineers into this issue and it will take some time. Your patience will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for any inconvenience and have a nice day!

Question: how can I tell Bridge I want to set PS CS5 as the default program for opening .psd files

How do I change a specific file type association in Bridge CS5, namely the .psd file type? I had installed Photoshop CS6, but am unable to use it due to extreme slowness (another problem, not for this question). I have reverted to using Photoshop CS5 and Bridge CS5.
Now when I double-click on a .psd file in Bridge CS5 to open it (or right-click on the .psd file) , the file opens up in the glacially slow CS6. I went to edt>preferences>file type associations to change the association to Photoshop CS5, but .psd is not listed as a file type (.jpg and .dng and a host of other file types are listed). How can I change the association if I cannot find the file type? (BTW: I have changed the file type association in Windows Explorer; I am running Windows XP.) I know I can open PS CS5 manually and scroll to the image I want to open but, to my mind, that defeats one of the main purposes of Bridge.
Any advice you can offer would be gratefully received.
Thank you.
Heather

Adobe Bridge >> Preferences >> File Associations
This is mac screenshot, but should be in same place.
Win 7 works very goo on my home computer, much better security. One problem myslef inlcuded have had is files permissisons, especially on external drives, and you have to dig to china in the menus to fix it, or else you can't save over the same file name. So if you plan on upgrading do it on a day you can troublshoot to fix that annoyance, though at this point might be good to wait for win8.

I'v just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows. How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows. How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

Office 2013 click-to-run does not honor deselecting 'Make Outlook the default program' checkbox

We use an email client other than Microsoft Outlook (let's say Thunderbird)
Thunderbird is set as the default mail client for the machine (HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) set appropriately)
Occasionally, we launch Outlook (but absolutely do not want it as the default mail client for the machine). About 30 seconds after launching Outlook, we see that the Windows default mail client changes to Microsoft Outlook.The 'Make Outlook the default
program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar' checkbox in File->Options is disabled.
Further investigation with ProcMon indicates that a SYSTEM service called integrator.exe starts up about 30 seconds after we launch Outlook. This service changes the HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\(default) registry key to be Microsoft Outlook.
We have tested with multiple non-Outlook email clients, and the behavior is always the same.
This only happens on click-to-run installs of Office 2013. Regular installs of Office 2013 do not have the problem. Older versions of Outlook do not have the problem.
What can we do to get Outlook to honor the 'Make Outlook the default program' setting?

Kapaal -
Thanks for your reply. Your blog post would certainly work if this was just a user-mode app that was making the change, but that's not the case with Office 2013.
The integrator.exe process that is making the change is part of Microsoft's Click-to-Run system. It runs as a service with local system access, and thus would have full access to the key. I might be able to lock it down by creating a second system
admin account and playing games with it - but that will make it very difficult to actually change the value when I want it do be changed, and I really shouldn't have to be doing workarounds to prevent Office itself from doing this.

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

Powerpoint.exe 2003 file lost after Office 365 installed

I have an X235 running W7 and have a problem with my Office 2003 applications after installing 365. The 365 process is currently hung at about 85% complete but the 365 Office suite is actually usable. The problem is that the old Office 2003 applications, the .exe files, seem to be gone. Interestingly, I installed 365 while Powerpoint 2003 was open and it is still functional. I am afraid though that once I close Powerpoint 2003, I will not be able to find it and open it up again. The shortcuts for example in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar still open Powerpoint 2003 and Word 2003 but the properties of these shortcuts do not list the target of the shortcut; "Target location:" is BLANK! Help!

I would cancel the Office 365 install and reinstall Office 2003. Then uninstall the 2003 version and reinstall 365.

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

Try these 3 possible solutions:
1. Restart iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
2. Close inactive Apps
Double-click the Home button; hold Apps down (in the Task Bar) for a second or two until you see the minus sign. Tap and close all inactive Apps.
3. Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,
I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?
Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
