OWC and Office 2007 - any expierences?

Hi Friends,
we 're currently running bps applications using owc for typing entries into an Excel mask
We are also planning to roll out Office 2007. After reading note 1140178 - Office Web Component in Excel 2007
and related informations from Micrisoft support pages, i'm afraid, that there might occur some difficulties.
1. Do templates based on OWC 2003 run in Office 2007 properly?
2. As I understand templates cannot be changed or newly created running Office 2007 - am I right ?
3. Are there licensing aspects to be considered?
4. Are there other points I've to consider according to this topic?
5. Are there differnces between Office 3007 and Office 2010 ?
Thanks in advance for any helpafuk reply.
Regards
Joe

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for reply.
As far as i know SAP provides more tools fpr planning (benath BPS and IP), as a result
of integrating BO and other software providers that offered similiar products.
May be it's better to license one of these products if life cycle is longer than thatz of BPS/IP.
That was the background of my question.
Have a nice WE
Joe.

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!

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].

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.

Application Virtualization 4.6 (SoftGrid) Acrobat Pro 9.2 and Office 2007

I'm actually trying to sequence Acrobat Pro 9.2 together with Office 2007 in a dynamic suite composition with Application Virtualization 4.6 RC.
I can sequence both applications and deploy them to the client. Everything seems to work fine, except the Acrobat plug-in in office. When I start Word or another office application, i can see the tab "Acrobat" and can choose the option to create a PDF of the actual document. If the Office application was started the first time since the logon, the PDF is going to be created as it should... no error. If I'd like to create a second PDF an error occures, saying that Adobe Acrobat can't be used because it's not activated (Its a volume license installation). The same error when I close and start the office application again. When I log off and log in, it works again the first time. Starting Acrobat without Office (independent) everything works and no such error appears. The Problem is that, the virtual application resides active (in use) in the App-V console after closing (maybe thats a normal behavior when two packages are dependent in a dynamic suite composition...).
I think there's a problem with the combination of App-V and the licensing system used by Adobe. Is it possible to install the licensing component seperately from Acrobat (during the sequencing a FlexNet service were identified? I could not find appropriate setup files to do so... Maybe its possible to solve the problem by installing the licensing component localy on the computer and then the virtualized application uses this component to check the license status or whatever is going to be checked...
Thanks for any hint...

The first problem is probably a permissions issue. Run Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility. For the second see this
Announcement: Known Acrobat Issues under Snow Leopard
Hide Details
(1) The Adobe PDF Printer module does not work under OS X.6. Please see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html to find out how to create Adobe Quality PDFs under Snow Leopard.
(2) Opening files from the finder, including files authored by Adobe applications, may not open them in the original authoring application. Omitting a file extension from the file name will increase the likelihood of this happening. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/511/cpsid_51110.html for more information.

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.

Outlook 2003 and Office 2007/10 Files

Our exec is having problems opening up files created with the Office 2007/10 standard...doesn't matter if it is WORD or EXCEL...and he has the compatibility pack installed to read the files.
When he tries to open a DOCX or XLSX file within an email attachment in Outlook 2003, it says the file cannot be found...if he saves it first and opens it up fro mthe save position, it works. And he can open standard DOC or XLS files within a attachment email.
We have uninstalled and reinstalled the compatability pack / file converter with same results...this is a situation where he just wants it fixed and fast.
Thanks...

Calender sync 'hanging' between my iphone and office 2007 calender

Since my latest itunes software update my iphone no longer syncs with my calender set up in MS office 2007. It appears to be syncing the calender but operation never completes (have left it for up to 25 minutes) and has to be ended by my intervention. The software update may just be a coincidence but i am properly stumped none the less? Any wisdom appreciated.

Thanks for the response - unfortunately not fixed my issue but appreciated. I am not getting an error message just the sync seems to stick on calenders? Is it possible/advisbale to reverse my itunes update to the previous one which worked with my set up?

XLR and Office 2007

Hi all.
we have a cilent that earlier this year installed MS Office 2007 on terminal server. They had, at that time, an installation of SAP B1 2005A, and XLR did not support Office 2007 at the given patch level. This caused XLR to not function at all on the terminal server. We tried to install latest patch of XLR and several other suggestions from notes, but we had to install clients on local machines to use XLR feature.
Now, we have upgraded our client to B1 2007 and would really like to run XLR on terminal server again. Still XLR will not start on terminal server, and we need to do some maintenance to get this up and running again. Has anyone encountered this problem? Can anyone suggest how to "clean up" terminal server and get it to run XLR again?
Client is running on Windows Server 2003 R2. They are currently on SAP B1 2007A PL 41.
Thanks and regards,
Runar Wigestrand.

Dear Runar,
XLR with Office 2007A on 2007A SP00 PL41 is supported.
Please make sure that you have completly uninstalled the previous version of XLR(2005A)
before you have upgraded to 2007A version.
In 2007A version XLR is included in the package, that means after installation of SAP Business One 2007 A
it will be automatically installaed.
If still you are getting any error message, please let send us the details information of the error message.

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.
