RoboHelp Office 2000 and 9.1

Just found my copy of RoboHelp Office 2000 and 9.1 and would like to install them on my new computer and get back to using the program.
Two questions:
1. Which of the above versions is the newest? I realize that they are both quite old but can't remember which is the latest.
2. Can either version run on Windows 7? I am using Windows Word 2003.
Thanks for any input.
Peg

Hi Peg.
RH Office 2000 came out sometime in 1999 whilst I believe that RH 9.1 came up afterwards. However neither would support Office 2003 or Windows 7. If you weren't using any Word features maybe you could get one version installed and running but if you had any issues, you'd be on your own as far as Adobe Support is concerned. If you can afford it, I'd strongly recommend you buy the latest version RH8. It is miles better than either of the versions you currently have.

Robohelp Office 2000 CD

I'm new to these forums, so be patient with me if I post in the wrong section or anything, but I'm a bit desperate.
We own Robohelp Office 2000, I have the original CD with serial number right in front of me.
But the disc is very old and time has left it's mark on it. And now it cannot be read anymore.
We only noticed this now because we had to reinstall a PC that had the application on it.
After the reinstall we tried to use the CD but alas, no go.
I contacted Adobe support but they cant provide media that goes back that far.
So here is my reach out to the world, does anyone still have a working CD of Robohelp Office 2000?
And can we work something out with regards of shipping it over, or sharing the files with me/whatever?
I DONT need a serial number, this is not a call for piracy. I have a valid, payed for, copy of the application.
But only the media stopped working. And I need a way to get the application reinstalled.
If anyone can help us out we would appreciate it dearly!
I have an old application that makes use of this particular Robohelp version,
so an upgrade is not possible for us at this moment.
Thanks!
Bjorn.

Hey Colum,
Thanks for your answer. I already downloaded the trial version and tested the results upon upgrading.
Alas this will not help us out since the upgrade broke the old application.
We know we should upgrade/fix the old application, but there is no time at the moment ;-)
In the near future we will be replacing the old (vb6 still) application with a VB.NET one and then the problems will be over.
But for now I really need the old version.
Thanks for thinking with us, I appreciate it!
I hope someone comes up with a dusty, yet working, CD. I know it's a very slim chance, but I dont have a choice.
Bjorn.

Excel activex call changes between Office 2000 and Office XP. How does one manage that?

I have several Active X calls from within a VI. One in particular is
the Excel Cell Value property node in Office 2000. MS has decided to
call it Excel Cell Value2 in Office XP.
I have built and exe on a machine with Office 2000 and can run the code
on a machine with Office XP, but I can not build on the machine with
Office XP. I can also run a VI with that call
on the Office XP box, but if I mass compile the VI I get the broken arrow.
I guess I am confuesed as to why it can run but not compile. If the
ActiveX call is not there for the compile why is it there for the run?
If I can expect this does it work in reverse where I
build on an Office XP box and run on a Office 2000 box?

These problems you are experiencing do stem from the ActiveX changes between Excel versions. When you mass compile LabVIEW checks to see if everything is linked correctly, including ActiveX portions of your code. Since there are slight changes the LabVIEW compiler detects something is wrong, but cannot isolate the problem. You might need to force a recompile of that VI. Check out this link.

Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

Hi Acer,
The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
Good luck Acer!

Can I create an exe with report gen addon using office 2000 and run it on a PC with XP?

I have create an executable using the report generation toolkit on a PC that has Office 2000. When I load the executable on a PC with office XP, It will not launch excel. Should the exe be compatible with either version of office? What do I need to do to make it work on both versions?

Hi Budman,
You should have created the executable in the way as is described here.
On your target machine you have to use the _wordsub.llb resp. _excelsub.llb which belongs to the MS Office version of that machine. The different versions are on the installation CD of the toolkit.
If you have these files in the support directory you do not need to create different exes for different MS Office versions.

Office 2000 and WebDav

I'm using the ability of Ifs to save edited Office 2000
documents directly to IFS (Web folders & I think this is WebDav
protocol). My problem is that when I open office document from
IFS, a window for network password appears. Window is very
annoying and meanless, because you can press cancle and document
will still open. Problem does not appear with Office 97 (but
it's impossible to use Web folders and WebDav with Office 97).
My qustion is how to set up system, that this window will not
open.
Hope somebody knows the answer.

I also ran into this problem. When an Office2000 application is
trying to open the document, it makes a new connection to the
webserver. When doing so, it forgets to send the authentication
headers, so you have to authenticate again.
see also: the Microsoft website. This is a known bug in
Office2000.
This is fixed in SR-1/SR-1a for Office2000. So I suggest you
install this fix or use the workaround: right-click the document
and choose "Save As..."

Is Office 2000 compatible with RoboHelp 7?

We are planning to buy RoboHelp7. But, cannot buy Office
2007. Is RoboHelp7 compatible with Office 2000 (our exisitng
version)?
Thanks in advance,
Meenakshmi

Problems -
Currently, we are using Office 2000 and RH6. Now, we are
planning to upgrade to RH7. We downloaded the trial version to
check the compatibitiy. We compiled the exisitng RH6 projects with
the RH7. It was found that pages with links are not displaying at
all. We imported them from another project. But, some of then dod
not work after that. There are also some special characters in the
texts. We tried with Office 2007 and RH7. The problems were there
too. Can anyone advice whether this is some bug? We applied the
vailable patch. But nothing happened.
Should we go for the upgrade?

Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional and Office 2000, no PDF's

Everything was working fine till this morning and has been that way for a few years. I can convert to PDF with all files except .doc files. I have the icons in place in the WORD toolbar. When I click on a CONVERT TO PDF, it prompts for the name and I supply this. It then seems to start doing the conversion and then I am left with a blank page and the file has not been converted. I have looked through all the possible causes and remedies but I am still stuck.I have re-installed OFFICE 2000 and then done DETECT & REPAIR under the help menu and also in the add/remove programs.
HELP!!
Thanks
Peter

I don't think Acrobat 7 can recognize Office 2007 files; Acrobat 7 was released way before Office 2007.

Office 2000 vs Office XP

Does anybody know of away to get around the problem between Office 2000 and Office XP when using Active X and switching between Operating Systems.
I find when I develop a VI on XP then try to run it on a 2000 machine I get errors.
I fix it to run on 2000, now it won't run on XP.
Is there some tool or patch some where that will get around this problem?
Keith

Hi Keith,
Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid the ActiveX differences between Office versions. Since Office 2000 and Office XP have different interfaces to certain functions through ActiveX, LabVIEW VIs will break if they are configured for one interface and moved to another. The only way I can think of to avoid this problem would be to dynamically call your VIs that make ActiveX calls, and call a different VI depending on which version of Office is running on the machine.
Good luck,
-D

Is microsoft office 2000 compatible with leopard?

I recent had my hard drive fail and apple had to replace it. I am reloading software on my computer, I have MS office 2000 and the MS office 2004 as an upgrade. In order for the MS 2004 to work I need to put MS 2000 on my computer, but my computer won't let me install MS 2000. It says something about not being able to run in classics. Am I forced to buy the new MS 2008 because I have leopard on my machine now?

You don't need to install Office 2001. Simply have the CD handy and point the office 2004 installer to the Office folder on that CD when prompted.
Also, since Office is not an Apple product, please post further questions regarding it on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they are more geared toward Office issues than an Apple forum:

Distiller 5.0.5 and Office 2000 - creating pdf not working

I am using XP Home Edition SP2, Distiller 5.0.5, and Office 2000
Can not make PDF with 2000 WORD or 2000 EXCEL.
- WORD: file > print > Distiller results in the conversion hanging up. The file can not be deleted from the print que until the computer is restarted. I can not create a postscript file by unchecking the "don't send fonts" check box and check "print to file". Doing so results in a "prn" file.
I can create PDF with PUBLISHER if I create a postscript file by unchecking "Dont sent fonts", checking "print to file", adding "ps" at the end of file name, then clicking on the ps file, does result in a pdf file
I can create pdf files with file > print > distiller in PhotoShop and PaintShop Pro

After creating the PRN file, open the file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, then look for AcroTray running in the background. If not, then you need to start it (it is in the Acrobat 5/Distiller folder).

Office 2007 and RoboHelp HTML 8

We've been asked to upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007. I've checked the forums but all of the discussions were dealing with older versions of RH. Has anyone had issues using Robohelp HTML 8 with Office 2007?

If you never have to use RH for Word or import or export to Word files then this is a non-issue. Even if you have to any of these things RH8 has been tested using Office 2007. It might be best if you outline a few specific instances whereby you need to integrate RH8 with Office 2007, download the trial and have a play. It is fair to say that the takeup of Office 2007 is less than Office 2003 and that not all RH users use the interface with Word.

RoboHelp Office X5.0.1 and Office 2007

Can I use RoboHelp Office X5.0.1 with Office 2007?
Thanks & best regards
Andreas

Hi andreas
And as a further aside, you can actually use RoboHelp HTML
alongside Office 2007 as long as you aren't expecting to produce
printed output or probably import from Word. But other than that,
it should run fine and produce basic WebHelp and .CHM output.
RoboHelp HTML doesn't rely on anything Word related (other than
what I mentioned) to function.

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007?

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from
RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007? We are
thinking of upgrading, but have customers that would still require
Word 2003 formats because they won't have 2007 installed.
Thanks!

Hi NewtoRobohelp
Unfortunately I don't have Office 2007 in front of me to test
with. But I'm thinking that as long as Office 2007 still produces
the same formats as 2003, you could do it this way.
From RoboHelp 7 and using Office 2007, generate Printed
ouptut. Open said printed output in Office 2007 and perform a Save
As. Save the document as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document.
RTF is more universal. So I'm thinking this may be a possible
way around it. There is also the possibility that Word 2007 offers
up an ability when saving a file to save in an older format.
Cheers... Rick

E63 Quick Office and Microsoft Office 2000

Hi
I am seriously considering purchasing a (sim free) E63 to replace my PDA & mobile.
I appreciate I will be able to view Word & Excel docs but can I create and edit them using the software already installed (I am in the UK in case there are different versions of the phone). I have read one review that suggests this is possible others that are vague.
I want to be able to be able to transfer the docs back to my PC were I use Office 2000 versions of Word & Excel. I know that I will need a data cable to connect the E63. The Excel docs are pretty straight forward with no complex formulas.
Thanks

Hi,
just to add another bit to the confusion: It does work on the E61 ;-) If it doesn´t on the E63, that was just another "sales-promoting measure" by Nokia...
