Thanks in advance if someone can assist on this.

When you are working for over 20 thousand computers, it is nice to have pin atleast office applications....
Sorry, that's what I get for skimming.
Not to turn this into a sidebar of whether you should or shouldn't, but 20,000 users means 20,000 different ways of doing something -- why is your opinion of pinning things to the taskbar taking precedence over the user's opinion? I'm not trying to say your
opinion isn't valid, but it's only valid for you. If the user's want to pin something to the taskbar, teach them how -- teach them to fish.

Whats the best way to apply office updates during OSD task sequence with Software Update Agent disabled?

I am trying to update office via the SCCM 2012 R2 OSD task sequence. I know offline updating only updates the core components in the WIM and I'm trying to figure out how to add office updates as well. I am aware of using powershell to try and kick off
a WU scan as seen here:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/01/24/use-powershell-commands-to-assist-with-patching-during-sccm-image-build/
But the kicker is we don't use SCCM to update the workstations (Solo WSUS install). Is there a way to do this (maybe set the client in the TS to switch on SUP, then off again when it goes off into production) rather than have to build a new image every month?

You could use the ZTI_WindowsUpdates.wsf script from MDT.
http://scriptimus.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/mdt-2012-automating-updates-in-lite-touch-deployments/
How does it work?
The task sequence steps run a script called ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf. The script uses the
Windows Update Agent API to manage the downloading and installation of updates. All audit information is written to the
ZTIWindowsUpdate.log file. If you find any unusual error codes in your log returned from the API (although I never have) you can compare the codes
here. The script will also check and update the
Windows Update Agent(WUA) as needed at the start.
In its default state, the ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf script will connect to Microsoft Update then search for and download all available updates including Security Patches, Drivers, Browser Updates and Service Packs. This is essentially the same
as opening the GUI and selecting check for updates.

How to deploy Office PlugIns during OSD Task Sequence?

I have two application packages that I need to install after Office 2013. I've tried adding them after Office 2013, but they won't install. I'm getting error 80004005. What's the best practice for installing plugins?

Jeff,
It looks like one of the Addins requires UAC be turned off. I've added that as a command line and setup a restart after that in the TS. Then I added the AddIn application to the TS. It's erroring out with 80004005 while I can see the screen in the background
say "Setup is preparing your computer for the first time." For the reboot I've specified it to use the existing OS.
What's the best way to get UAC turned off, reboot then install the AddIn?
It will not require UAC, if you run your command promt as admin, which will be opened at c:\Windows\System32
Also, code 80004005 is very generic, and does not reveal nothing. You will see at Appenforce.log what´s really happening, also smsts.log. Event viewer is also helpful.

Excel 2007 VBA, problem setting Sheet Visibility in BeforeSave event after Office updates during mid Dec 2014

After update of Office 2007 during mid December 2014, I have a Macro that does not work properly - which it did before the update.
The Macro is used to make sure that users have Macros enabled when working on the file. The logic basically does the following:
=> In the "OnOpen" event, set all "work sheets" as Visible, and set the "Macro Warning sheet" to non-visible.
=> In the "BeforeSave" event, set the "Macro Warning sheet" as Visible and set all "work sheets" as non-visible.
After the mid December update of Office 2007, the "OnOpen" part still works fine. The "BeforeSave" part does NOT work properly if the save action is triggered by using the shortcut key "CTRS+s". However, if saving the file
using the "Save" option in the menues, the "BeforeSave" action works fine.
Does Microsoft have a fix for this problem? I am not entierly sure exactly which update/KB that caused this.
To recreate the problem, put the following code into the "thisWorkbook" module, and make sure that one sheet has the codeName "wshForceMacros". Open the file, enable Macros, then save the file using the keys "CTRL+s". The macro
now hangs on the row "wshForceMacros.Cells(2, 1).Select" since the wshForceMacros sheet has not become properly visible...
Option Explicit
'ON OPEN
Sub Workbook_Open()
Call ShowSheetsAfterOpen
End Sub
'ON SAVE
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Call HideSheetsBeforeSave
End Sub
'ON SAVE
Sub HideSheetsBeforeSave()
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
'Show Macro Lock sheet
wshForceMacros.Visible = xlSheetVisible
wshForceMacros.Activate
wshForceMacros.Cells(2, 1).Select
'Hide all work sheets
For Each oSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oSheet.CodeName <> "wshForceMacros" Then
If oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
End If
Next oSheet
End Sub
Sub ShowSheetsAfterOpen()
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
Dim bSaved As Boolean
'Show all work sheets
For Each oSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Then
oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
End If
Next oSheet
'Hide Macro Warning Sheet
wshForceMacros.Visible = xlSheetHidden
End Sub

How do I pin RUN.LNK when there are no Pin To Taskbar verbs

None of the RUN.LNK shortcuts have a Pin To Taskbar verb.
I have searched every RUN.LNK on the disk, none have it.
Under Win8, I can find the Run icon in the Apps panel, and pin it to both the Taskbar and Start Menu.
This is a puzzler for me.
I want to do this with Powershell, which I already use to pin all the other common apps that I require.

Apparently, I have not provided sufficient detail.
This is entirely a scripting issue.
In the Win8 apps tile collection, a series of icons are available for Pinning to either the Start or Taskbar systems. Right-click on the icon shows a series of verbs applicable to these shortcuts.
In Powershell, I locate the .LNK file I want to Pin
$objItem = $objShell.Namespace($cDesktop).Parsename($strFullPathToLink)
In Powershell, I then extract the Verb in this LNK
$objVerb = $objItem.Verbs() | ? { $_.Name -like '*Pin to Tas*' }
Finally, my Powershell script executes the Pin verb:
$objVerb.Doit()
The RUN item on the Metro tiles is unique.
The Properties shows the two Pin verbs, but these are not visible to Powershell.

Running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build. If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?

I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build. If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work? There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.

Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

Printing Margins settings incorrect with Windows 7 and Office programs

I'm reinstalling programs, printers etc on my computer. The existing Office files that used 0.5" margins for Left/Right in Landscape mode will no longer work. The printer insists on 0.585" for Right margin. (0.585" for bottom in Portrait)
This was not a problem prior to having to reinstall.
OS: Windows 7 32-bit
Printer: HP Deskjet 5740
Office: Office XP, Access 2003, Office 2010, Access 2010
Office programs have been set up in different folders to allow multiple versions on one computer.
Thanks

Hi there mmcdermott,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here (to ensure there are no problems with the drivers etc installed):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Unable to Install Office 2013 Pro and I get returned message "Couldn't Install We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs"

I purchased 40 licenses of Office 2013 Pro from a vendor in the US and received 40 product keys along with the URL to download the software - 1 for each pc activation codes. I have done a few and were all successful. I am now trying
install on 2 other pcs and I am having real difficulty and getting error message each time I try to install. I am able to download the installer and copied to my desktop and when I double click to execute it, it gives me the option to run on the next
screen. I click on run then it gives me the message " do you want to allow the program to make changes to this computer". When I press YES, nothing happens and minutes later, I get the flwg message everytime, "Couldn't
install" "We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs. Is your internet connection working? Do you have enough free space on your main hard drive? Please try installing again after you've checked the above.
Go online for additional help.
I have lots of space and my pc is Win 7 64 bit new machine. I have connection to internet and I was able to get the others done. What is the problem here and I have been trying to work late night hours to try to install the program and I am unable
to successfully get it to work. I receive the same message every time and I followed all the recommended troubleshoot steps I found on the internet. Someone please help. I have to install all for all the PCs we have for our organization.
Please respond because I am really stuck.
Gabe

Hi Gabe,
First, please check the suggestion above is helpful. I also suggest you removing all version of Office and re-install Office 2013.
We can try to run the application as an administrator and check if it works.
1. Right click the shortcut of the application or the main application.
2. Select properties.
3. Select compatibility tab and select "Run this program as an administrator."
If there is anything I can do for you about this issue, don't hesitate to tell me.

My microsoft office programs (Home and Business 2013) all desplay error message at startup stating " non-commercial use, not licenced product". How do I fix this?

Hi,
Whenever I start any of my microsoft programs I get an error message stating "non-commercial use, not licenced product" and I cannot do anything in the programs. I havve the Home and Business 2013 version.
My husband bought the office programs for his and my computer and so they are both registered to his name however my email is the login, I dont know if this is relevant.
How do I fix this?

Hi,
Based on your description, several possibilities come to my mind.
1. You mentioned your husband bought the Office Suite for you, did he purchase one product key or two? We need to confirm if the product key can be installed on multiple machines, if a product key can be only installed once and he installed it
on his computer first, you should purchase a new product key to activate your Office.
Since the policy differs in different areas, to confirm how many machines the product key can be installed on, let your husband ask the retailer or contact the local customer service to get the answer:
http://support2.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
2. Please confirm your Office version. Based on the message "non-commercial use", I found this kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937676/
But it's for Office Home and Student instead of Office Home and Business, we can perform the steps below to find the Microsoft Software License Terms:
1. Start and Office program.
2. On the File (Backstage) tab, click Account.
3. Click About (Product name: Word, Excel etc..), in the window that opens, click
View the Microsift Software License Terms link.
3. If your Office is a trial version or the product key is not for the version that you are using, consider to uninstall it first, and install the appropriate version. You can probably get the installation media from your husband.

Cannot install Office 2013 during task seqeunce after installing R2

Hi,
Since we installed SCCM 2012 R2, I have not been able to install Office in my baseline captures using a task sequence (64-bit OS). Ronni Pederson suggested using an Application rather than a Package but in his example, the application is being pushed rather
than deployed during OSD. Either way, his solution doesn't work for me. Office 2013 does install on my Windows 7 SP1 32-bit capture without any errors (same package).
I saw another suggestion that recommended using a wrapper script in a package. When I tried this, I used Task Manager to verify that application was installing and I could see msiexec running. After about 10 minutes, SCCM seems to be waiting for feedback
from the application which never happens. The task sequence fails and I can see log messages stating that it's Waiting for job status. It repeats this message for about 20 minutes and then fails. The wrapper script seems to have the best results but still
doesn't install Office without errors. When I logged in as administrator, I could see that Office looks to be installed. I tried launching a few of the apps and they are working so I don't really understand why this installation doesn't work properly.
Prior to installing R2 on SCCM 2012, this was not a problem. I installed Office 2013 via my capture task sequences many times without any problems. The only thing I can find through research is to use an Application object or use a Package object with a
wrapper script. I couldn't find any other suggestions.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Before I can name any ideas, I need to know what's going wrong. Did you follow all the log files? I would start by looking at the installation log files of Office (%windir%\Temp) and see if it's indeed ending successful. If it does then continue to the
ConfigMgr log files (App*.log for application, or exempt.log for package).

For one of our users the option to send a document as attachment has dissapeared in office programs such as word, excel etc

Hi,
For one of our users the option to send an email as attachment has disappeared in office programs such as word, excel etc
As you can see from the above these are the normal options you expect to see but for the user affected they get the option to send as a Text document, a pdf or an XPS the option to send as a attachment has gone.
I have logged into her PC with my account and it was fine, i have had a look and no one else has reported this throughout the company and looking for answers online has proven fruitless.
Any Ideas on why this option would have changed to only allow the user to send it as text.

Hi,
The "Send as Attachment" option only works when Outlook and word are installed from the same suite. That is required.
Thanks,

How to get the Title and Tcode of a Program during run time

Hello,
I am new to abap and I have this question please. Is the a way to get the title, Tcode and Author of a program during run time? I would like to get the name and title of a program or a view or an include during run time.
Using table TADIR, you can only get the object_name and the author. Is the a way for me to get the Title of the repository object and any Tcode if any is available for the case of a program?
I loop forward for your respond.
Thank you.
Sabina

You can get it by accessing SYST.
SY-TITLE for Title
SY-TCODE for Tcode
I don't think there is any field in SYST for the Author.
To get the author name you can use the TRDIR table.

What office program is best for macbook air 2013

what office program is best for macbook air 2013

To create some sanity here:
If you are going to share files with family, friends, and coworkers Microsoft Office is the obvious and easy (though expensive) choice.
If you are trying to save money and still remain compatible with friends LibreOffice is free and can read/write Microsoft Office files nearly perfectly.
Another free choice is Apple's iWork suite (you'll have to download it from the App store because it isn't pre-installed) Numbers, Pages, and Keynote. These programs read Microsoft documents mostly accurately but not quite as well as LibreOffice and export to Office compatible documents. But neither LibreOffice nor iWork saves in Microsoft formats by default which means you must remember to export them. That can be a problem.
In terms of ease of use I give iWork a slight edge over the other two. In terms of doing annoying things I don't expect, Office is the hands down winner.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Bob

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

All my office programs are crashing regularly, especially Outlook!!!

MS Office programs, all of them, Outlook, Powerpoint, etc. all crashing.
Started when I upgraded to Office 2013/365
Every other program is stable on the machine.
Removed completely and reinstalled. Remove all display drivers completely and reinstalled.
Almost without fail, the issue is similar to:
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\OUTLOOK.EXE
Faulting module path: C:\windows\system32\atidxx32.dll
Report Id: 5122c0c6-aa4f-11e3-a93e-b788900b7920
HERE IS THE THING ...... there is no atidxx32.dll at system32\atidxx32.dll and there should not be.
atidxx32.dll is under syswow64 ... right where it should be.
For whatever reason, MS OFFICE appears lost!
Jack

Hi,
Please first try to open Office programs in safe mode to check the crash will stop. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/support/why-cant-i-start-my-office-2013-application-HA104011864.aspx
If the problem continues in safe mode, the video configuration of your PC may cause this problem. Please refer to the article below to troubleshoot the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768648/en-us
In addition, we can try to use Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) to diagnose the Office problem. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2812744/en-us
Please let me know the result.
