Word 2003 w/ Office 2007 compatibility pack crashes after writing PDF

Writing PDF from Word 2003 SP3, all patched, using (most recently) Acrobat 7.1.0 has for some months crashed on my system after the PDF is written but just before the Acrobat window closes and control of Word is returned to the user. Word is hung so severely that it is not possible to close it with Task Manager. And, it happens every time, whether from a single-page document or a >300 page API document with extensive graphics, links etc.
The generated PDF is complete and valid, but has not been closed, so at this point it cannot be accessed. No choice but to reboot, after which the PDF can be accessed and is just fine. Word shrapnel (temporary files) litter the folder because it never closed properly.
Searching the net I could never find anything that sounded like my problem. It felt to me like a font issue. On a hunch, I uninstalled the Office 2007 compatibility pack (which comes with Vista fonts that I've never used), and along with it, several associated Office 2007 security updates and service pack 1 for the compatibility pack.
Once again I can write PDF's without hanging Word. If I had nothing better to do with my time, I might try reinstalling the compatibility pack, its service pack and the updates one by one to see when (or if) the problem might return... but this has caused me enough grief so all I'm prepared to do is post this information in the hope that it might help someone else.
BTW - I also use Solid Documents PDF Converter once in a blue moon to create Word docs from PDF files. It also has PDF generation capability, which I tried as a troubleshooting measure. Same result. Clearly this is nothing to do with Acrobat per se.

Sad to report that a few days later, the problem had returned, so my joy was short-lived. Now it's even more mysterious than ever. Why would uninstalling a compatibility pack provide *temporary* relief?

Hello,
You will need to install the Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats, which can be downloaded here:

Office 2007 compatability for OS X

I have an iBook 900MHz, and I can't open up my Office 2007 files from my windows computer on my Office Mac Word. With office 2007, they have changed all the file extentions. (.doc becomes .docx, power point becomes .pptx)
I have manually changed it to a .doc file, but it still won't open, and I get an error message.
any help, or a link to a new Office Mac plug in would be appreciated.
Thanks.
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) its sweeeet!!! lol

Microsoft changed the file format with Office 2007.
You need to (on the Windows PC) save the office files in a compatible format with Mac Office 2004.
Conversion tools are not yet available for the Mac.

Pushing Office 2007 service packs through WSUS

Does WSUS download MS Office 2007 service packs for administrators to approve and push to workstations?
If so, how can you redownload it or see if it was approved as I cannot find it as being downloaded, approved, declined or unapproved when searching through the wsus server reporting.

Hi,
How did you define products and classifications? You need check product office 2007 and classification service pack.
Another way is to import it via Microsoft update catalog.

Hope this helps.

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...

HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud. Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time. I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email. If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send. And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send. I have to re-create it.
I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud. Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud. And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud. Here are the references:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/excel-2007-clo sing-unexpectedly-when-trying-to/69705682-06ca-4e39-b17e-56d4bacc3452
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607859?start=0&tstart=0
I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem. I ran the Office install to repair. This did not work. I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products. I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories. Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled. Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed. I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem. Now, the second post (above) from
SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem. He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud.
Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
Thanks,
Rob

As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves. Csound1, you have been very generous with your time, and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

Protect Word document with Office 2007

Hi!!!
With Office 2003 and Office 1997 we create an object "WORD.BASIC" and use the method "TOOLSPROTECTSECTION" to protect sections of a word document. With Office 2007 this method does not work and it protect all the document and not the selected sections.
Do you know which methods we can use with Office 2007???? Or how we can solve the problem???
Thanks a lot!!

E90 and Office 2007 Compatability

Ihave office 2007 on my laptop. When i transfer files to my e90, it does not recognise them. I have to save the files on my laptop in office 2003 format and then transfer again to my e90 which then recognises it. Is there a way around this or an update for the office that is installed in my e90? Also i have pocket express which came automatically installed on my e90. I see its java and hate that application after suffering errors in my nseries handsets. When i remove it either via app manager or via the menu option using the c-option, when i restart the phone the application pocket express appears again. Is there no way to delete it permanently?

Hi there as far as I know the latest version of E90-1 software (V300) has support for Office 2007. If you want to do it an easier way, enter the office menu and then quickoffice. Scroll to updates and you should find a reasonably priced update for compatibility of 2007 documents.
As for your second issue, there must be an installer file somewhere on your phone that keeps re-installing the application. You must un-install this as well when removing the application and this should stop it from re-installing very time you restart.

If you are using Excel 2007 please follow below instructions to set up the (Essbase client)Excel addin 7.x.
After installing Essbase addin
Go into Excel 2007 "Excel Options. and select Add-ins. Go to Excel Addin. Browse.
You'll need to manually load 2 files.
1: Browse and go to C:/Program Files/Office12/1033/Exptoows.xla OK (It will install into the add-in list.) This may install through the install wizard
2: Browse and go to C:/Hyperion/Essbase/Bin/Essexcln.xll OK (It will install into the add-in list.)

RH7 Word 2003 vs. 2007

Hi folks,
I'm using RH7 (and TCS) and have both Word 2003 and 2007
installed. When generating a Word doc, Word 2007 opens by default.
Does anyone know if I can configure RoboHelp to use Word 2003
instead?
Thanks,
Diana

Hi Peter,
Can you please jot down the link to your site so I can read Snippet 82? I'm having trouble with RH7 recognizing MS Word 2003. I only have the one version of Word, but when I attempt to generate a Printed Document, I receive an odd error message that RoboHelp cannot find MS Word.
Thanks!!
