WINE, MS Office 2003, and ugly fonts

I thought that there was a thread floating around about this, but I couldn't seem to find it...
I need to learn Access in a hurry, so I installed MS Office 2003 on my 64 bit workstation. Everything seems to working alright, but the fonts look like crap. Does anyone have any advice?
--EDIT--
before anyone asks, this is my entire 32 bit set up. It will run WINE, Skype, Flash through nspluginwrapper, and Lightscribe:

Oh, your after some font anti-aliasing? If so you could pick non M$ fonts in winecfg>Desktop Integration and probably need to change some in M$ Office preferences aswell.

How to Open DOC in Office 2003 and DOCX on Office 2007 automatcally when both installed on same pc

How to Open .DOC file in Office 2003 and .DOCX on Office 2007 automatcally when both office 2003 and 2007 are installed on same pc
When tried with open with files automatically open in 2007.

Presumably you've confirmed that both copies of Word are working alongside each other, and if you right click on a document you see both options listed in the Open With menu?
If so the first thing to try is to right click on a .doc file, go to the Open With menu and then click "Choose default program". If both versions of Word are listed then simply choose Word 2003, ensuring the option to always use this choice is selected.
If you find that both options are listed as "Microsoft Word" with no version number, or only one is listed, then select the more options entry and then at the bottom of the list select to find another app on the PC. You can then navigate to the Word 2003 executable
and select it that way.
Alternatively, search in the start menu for "associations" and you'll find an option to change the file type associated with a file extension. Open that and you'll get a list of every extension known to Windows, and within that you'll find .doc and .docx
listed, and you can change which application each is associated to.

Migrating to Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2003, EV7, Office 2003 and XP

What is the best approach for migrating our 300 user Exchange 2003 organisation to Exchange 2013.? We use Enterprise vault v7.5 and the clients are Office 2003 on an XP desktop.
We are also planning to upgrade to Windows7 and Office 2013 this year so I am trying to understand the sequence. Should we just aim to upgrade to Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2010 instead?
Many thanks.

Hi,
You can't install Exchange 2013 until and unless you decommission your Exchange 2003. Coexistence of Exchange 2013 with Exchange 2003 is not supported. You first need to upgrade to Exchange 2010 SP3 and then move users to Exchange 2010 and decommission your
Exchange 2003 servers. Once you are done with the decommissioning of your Exchange 2003 server you will be able to install your first Exchange 2013 machine in your messaging infrastructure.
Kindly mark this as answer if it fulfill your requirements. Thanks.

Office:Mac and Corrupted Fonts

I have installed the office:mac 2004 version but when I try to open any of office applications while trying to optimize font menu performance, I get a message saying xyz font is corrupt and needs to be deleted. Seems like many fonts needs to be deleted.
So I called Microsoft help desk. She asked me to disable all fonts and restart my computer. After the restart now my office applications are working but my entire 235 fonts are disabled.
My computer is a G4 with 10.4.4 operating system. I also have system nine running.
Could anyone help me solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, that is a puzzle. Perhaps your problem lies elsewhere. Try the following:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If that does not help, then you may have a corrupted font cache and/or preference files. The following may prove helpful:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607542&#607542.
You can also download one of the several utilities used to perform maintenance and use it to clear the font caches. I recommend Tinkertool System, but there are others from which to choose. You will find them all at www.versiontracker.com.

Report Generation Toolkit does not recognize Office 2003

Hi there
The newly installed MS Office 2003 and LV 8.5.
When installing Report Generation Toolkit is screams that it does not recognize Office 2003:
"Microsoft Office version 2000 or higher was not detected on the system. You need to install Microsoft Office 2000 or higher before you install the NI Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2."
What to do?
thanks

Did you reboot your system after installing Office 2003? Have you launched Word and/or Excel since installing Office 2003? I think there might be some registry initialization that takes place on first launch of Word and Excel. If you've launched Word/Excel and the RGT 1.1.2 installer still isn't detecting them, there may have been a problem with your Office 2003 install. Try uninstalling Office 2003 and reinstalling it. When you reinstall, double-check that Word and Excel are selected in the install. Then launch them both a first time before trying to install RGT 1.1.2. If it still doesn't detect Office 2003, perhaps there's another problem with your system. Are you using any foreign language software? What OS are you running? Is it Office 2003 standard or professional? Is there anything weird about your Office install, like is it installed over the network instead of from CDs?
I'm hoping the answer to one of these questions helps you solve the problem. Keep me posted...

Office 2007 and Acrobat 9 pro?

Hello everyone -- Does anyone know if Office 2007 will work with Acrobat 9 pro. I was happily using Office 2003 and Outlook to save my e-mail in indexed pdf portfolios. I could search all e-mail folders and keep separate files for each e-mail correspondent. In addition, I could open attachments from within the pdf document. My entire filing system is dependent on being able to do this. I was forced to upgrade Office 2003 (because microsoft mistakenly assumed my copy was illegal even though it wasn't, but that's another story). Microsoft no longer sells Office 2003, so I bought Office 2010. That program is a disaster for me for many reasons. I would be willing to adjust if I could keep saving my outlook e-mail as I was able to do before, but from what I can tell that is going to be impossible. So I'm thinking of downgrading to Office 2007? Does anyone know if that will work. I'd be very grateful for some helpful info. I have been around in circles with both Adobe and Microsoft. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm sorry to tell you this, but I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum! This forum is for questions pertaining to Acrobat.com (www.acrobat.com) and we aren't able to provide specific guidance for questions or issues regarding Acrobat desktop software. That said, Acrobat 9 should have no problem working with Office 2007; it shipped after Office 2007 had come out, and will almost certainly be compatible. You may want to corroborate this information by reposting your question in the Acrobat forums:

Best of luck!

Error converting office 2003 apps to pdf - acrobat 9 pro

I have today upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I cant anymore convert to pdf from my office 2003 applications. (outlook - word - xl). It does however, converts from the Internet Explorer.
Printing directly to the adobe printer from word - xl doesnt work either.
Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade.
I reinstalled the OS (Windows Vista Ultimate) and performed a clean installation of Acrobat 9 Pro but still doesnt work.
It must be a bug related only to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and office 2003 and I am surprised that I cant find anything in the forum. (Ive searched a few hours prior to opening this topic)
Any help please please please?
Thanks and regards,
Christos

In AA8 (I assume AA9 is similar) you simply open Distiller, select Settings and click on Add Adobe PDF Settings. However, you have to have a file to add. In vista, the standard location for the jobsettings files is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. I have 9 files there by default. They are also located under Settins in the Acrobat 8 folder (Program Files>Adobe) I would have to go to other machines to find the standard locations for those systems, but you might be able to search on line for "Acrobat <OS system> joboptions" with the appropriate OS listed. To see the current setup, open Distiller and check the settings files that are available.<br /><br />If there are none listed in Distiller, but they are on your system, then you might simply try to add. There are some joboptions files available online from several publishers for folks that submit manuscripts to their magazines. That might be an excellent place to get a file if you can not find one. Simply put it into the appropriate folder and use the Add menu in Distiller to add the file.

How can I reinstall Office 2003, factory installed on my Sat P10-504?

Hi,
Somehow I have removed Microsoft Office 2003 and all of it's contents which were factory installed on my Satellite P10-504. Does anyone know how i can reinstall Microsoft Office 2003 Suite? I have 2 product recovery disks and 1 tools and utilities disk but cannot find the programe on them.
Cheers
Martin.

Hi,
if Office 2003 is not on your Tools & Utilities CD, then it was not factory installed.
By the way I have never seen a Toshiba product with Office installed.

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.

Office 2003 crashes when printing to PDF

My wifes system is running Windows 7, office 2003 and Adobe Standard 8.2.1. When she goes to print a file in word or excel as a PDF the application freezes when the "save" window pops up. We have installed all updates and patches to both Office 2003 (running SP3) and Adobe Acrobat std 8. This problem started happening when we upgraded her system to Windows 7. Prior to, she was running Windows XP with the same programs and everything worked fine. I am assuming this is a Windows 7 issue. Can any one help or suggest a fix to this?

Some peopole have been successful with AA8 on Win7, but others have had problems. Adobe's answer will be to upgrade to AA9, the only version they certify for Win7. The first thing to check is to print to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected. Open the file in Distiller and see if you successfully create a PDF. Assuming that works, then try simply printing to the Adobe PDF printer. This is likely where you will have a problem.

Need Download Url - Proofing Tools for Office 2003 SP2 Greek

Hi,
I need to install Greek Proofing Tools for Office 2003 SP2 on XP machine ,couldn't find download location.
Please let me know where i can download it.

Unfortunately, Microsoft stopped selling Office 2003 and 2007 language packs in the summer of 2011, as explained at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/determine-if-you-need-a-language-pack-HA010243416.aspx?CTT=1 (Determine if you need a language pack), so I'm afraid you are out of luck.

Switching computers, Office version and OS - now what?

The computer I sync'ed my Palm TX with died and stayed dead a month ago.
Been living withoiut sync since.
That computer used XP Pro/Office 2003 and Intellisync
I don't seem to have the install file for Intellisync in backup, but have found it on the web v 5.?
I sync'ed to/from Outlook using intellisync
New computer is Vista/Office 2007
Options appear to be to install intellisync on new computer if Vista will so permit and pray hard.
there is a post on another board that suggests using Palm 4.14E vs. Desktop 6.2 will make this work.
Alternatively, buy KeySuite, don't install intellisync and use that system instead, just ignoring the native contacts/notes/calendar/tasks applications.
(Ah, if this is the way to go, how do I clear the native from the native applications for contacts, etc. ??)
I would be grateful for any/all sage advice. I am (literally) in the middle of nowhere and there are ZERO Palm savvy folks to back me up and I am fairly clueless at this.
THANKS in advance!
Post relates to: Palm TX

No, not necessarily. There are 2 versions of Vista the 32bit and the 64bit.
Typically new laptops have 64bit.
If you have the 64bit version, you can sync via bluetooth. There is one caveat here, if the laptop is a Toshiba with built-in bluetooth, it will not work. We have found the Toshiba bluetooth stack will not work for Bluetooth hotsync. Is your laptop a Toshiba?
Palm desktop 6.2 will work on Vista but we have seen data loss in calendar and contacts while using Palm Desktop. If you are using Outlook, there are no reported data loss issues so you should be OK. Palm desktop 6.2 has the Outlook 2007 conduits installed so all you need to do is select Outlook when installing Palm desktop. You do not need 3rd party software to sync with Outlook unless you have subfolders in the main PIM categories, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. If you have subfolders you want to sync to, you will need a 3rd party program. Pocket mirror by Chapura has that function, here is a link to the site, http://www.chapura.com/pm_standard.php
There is no information regarding USB drivers for 64bit Vista. You will need to check the support page, downloads, for your device on the Palm website for any updates.
If you want to use a 4.x version of Palm desktop, you will need to install the outlook 2007 conduits from the support page for your TX.
Here is an article regarding setting up the bluetooth hotsync on 64bit Vista.

Office 2003 ACL Corruption

Whenever a windows user re-saves their Word or Excel document from Office 2003 or 2008 on our 10.5.4 server(not saving locally but directly on the server), it corrupts the ACL Permissions. It makes 4 copies of the current ACL Users/Groups and adds Everyone and Users Groups as an Allow. I think it takes that from my POSIX's setup. Also it turns my POSIXS group from a read to a none on that file. It only seems to happen on our Office docs, CS3 docs seem to be fine.
I've scoured the boards and have not found much on this particular issue, wondering if anyone else has come accross this...

I have exactly this issue. I have had a case open with Apple Pro support for several months now. I have done LOTS of tests to try and track down the cause of this problem.
I have concluded that ACLs on the server are working correctly. The reason I can say that is the ONLY applications we have problems with are MS Office (2003) on Windows. Apple have since confirmed to me that the problem exists on MS Office 2003 and 2007 for Windows saving to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4.
The problem doesn't really show up unless you are sharing documents with other people as the permissions get re-written in such a way that different systems appear to interpret them differently. For example you can save a document on MS Office 2008 for Mac and all the permissions are correct and can be opened and save on any other MS Office without problems. Once you save it on MS Office on Windows the permissions get messed up and you will not be able to re-save the document on a Mac. Opening on a Mac works just read-only. Sometimes the ACLs appear to get screwed up enough that on Windows they appear read-only to anyone except the last person to modify it.
I know it's not the answer for everyone but we have switched to OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is virtually identical in all the areas that matter to our users here and can open and save MS Office compatible files. OpenOffice.org preserves the permissions exactly as they should be.
Apple did say it was something they really want to get fixed but couldn't give me a timeframe. I guess they need Microsoft's Office team to sort it out. Seeing as there isn't any KB article on Microsoft to even acknowledge the problem I guess it may be a while.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
