Wrong quotation symbol after Office 2010 SP1

Hi,
After we deployed Office 2010 SP1 to our internal test group we discovered that the quotation symbol is wrong. This has happend on every single computer we've installed it on. It only affects applications using Word, like editing e-mails in Outlook and ofc
using Word. Instead of the regular "" all of them get «» instead. We've discovered a work around by disabling Smart quotes in word.
Found a thread under Windows 7 UI forum to change the default quotation key, but the directions explained there are not working.
Anyone able to assist us with this problem?

Hello,
I have been in contact with Norwegian Language Council and
they have confirmed that below table documents the Norwegian correct usage of qoutation marks:
Examples - Typographic

According to Norwegian Language Council, they do not have any problems that
«» has been selected as standard qouation mark (when using smart qoutes), but they are quite clear that the end users shall be able to select between the various current allowed qouation marks.
This could have been easily been resolved by Microsoft in my example figure below (made in MSPaint):
I belive it would be wise to contact Microsoft Permier Support and request an Design Change Request
to ensure that our Microsoft Office users are allowed to use the various correct allowed qoutations mark when writing in Norwegian language.

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

Messages are incorrectly positioned inside IM chat window (after Office 2013 SP1 update)

Hi,
After installing Office 2013 SP1 today (Lync desktop 2013 client version updated to 15.0.4569.1506), messages inside Lync's chat windows are positioned in a wrong way when using DPI of 125% in Winodws 8.1.
Can anyone else confirm this and/or suggest a solution? We cannot unistall SP1 since we're using Click-to-Run version from O365.

Can you try re-sizing the Lync IM window's width as small as possible? I have the issue due to long name, haven't tried playing with DPI.
Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.

Mail Profiles Being Deleted After Office 2010 to 2013 Deployment

I am deploying Outlook 2013 to user in our environment that has Outlook 2010 presently. Many users have additional attached mailboxes to their Outlook profile. After the deployment the default profile for Outlook in the Mail control panel is removed. Is
there a way to make sure the profile and the user settings do not go away on an upgrade? I'm using a .msp created in the OCT to do this.
Thanks!
B

Did you retain the default settings in OCT for handling Outlook?
By default, mail profile settings and data are migrated/preserved.

PWA issues after Office 2010 SP2 upgrade

We recently upgraded some client machines that have Project 2010 Professional installed to Project SP2. Several of these users also use PWA.
After the upgrade, I heard from a few of these users that in PWA, the Workflow Approval buttons were unavailable, and that they were unable to export to Excel. I checked with another user who uses the same Project Server and did
not receive the update, and he had the same issue.
I did find kb2817580 that describes these exact issues, but the timing is suspicious with the client SP2 upgrade. Is there something in the Project 2010 SP2 update that would cause this problem on Project Server, or does Server need to be upgraded
concurrently with the client update? I was not under the impression that the local Project update would affect Project Server. Is that incorrect?

Cwoodin, in my experience, the client doesn't make any modifications at the server.
About the updates, i would recommend you to apply SP2 at the server as well. Besides that, take a look at the ULS logs to see if it spits any errors.

End tag error in Office 2010 professional plus

I have my research paper got corrupted some how. When I try to open it, I get the following error:
"The name in the end tag of the element must match the element type in the start tag.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line 2, Column: 5119889"
I am using Office 2010 Professional Plus.
I tried to install office service pack 1, but I get this error: "The expected version of the product is not found on the system"
I need to restore this document as the deadline of paper submission is approach fast. I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Seems that you've received an "end tag" error when you open a DOCX file in Word 2010. After installing Office 2010 SP1 as
KB2528942 suggested but get the error "The expected version of the product is not found on the system".
Office 2013 and Office 2010 Service Pack 1 resolves this issue for new files. It will also prevent the problem from recurring with any files that were recovered with the Fix it solution in this
article.
Have you tried to install the hotfix in
KB2528942 "fix for me" section?
If you are familiar with editing XML, you can try to fix the problem yourself by correcting the mismatched oMath tags in the document. See the following example:
Incorrect tags:
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
<m:oMath>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Correct tags:
<m:oMath>
<mc:AlternateContent>
<mc:Choice Requires=”wps”>
</mc:AlternateContent>
</m:oMath>
Note: unzip the source file by unzip tool and you will also have to use an application such as Notepad to edit the XML.
Feel free to post back.

Access 2010 SP1 - random crashes relating to vbe7.dll

We are experencing the same problem as described here in a post on
Microsoft Answers. However was are also still occasionally seeing the problem after uninstalling SP1.
Has anyone come across any better workarounds?
Microsoft: can we please have some information on when this is likey to be fixed - this is a major problem!
After installing Office 2010 SP1, you may receive random crashes when opening objects in certain databases and when trying to open the VBA window in those databases. If you look in the event viewer the crash info may look similar to the following:
Faulting application: msaccess.exe
Version: 14.0.6024.1000
Stamp: 4d83e4fc
faulting module: vbe7.dll
version: 7.0.16.19
stamp: 4d430aec
Workaround:
Microsoft is aware of the issue and it is currently being investigated. In order to work around the problem, you can try the following:
1.      Make a copy / backup of your database.
2.      On the problematic machine decompile the database by running the following from a Run command line: MSACCESS.EXE <path to database file> /decompile
(example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSAccess.exe "C:\folder\database.accdb" /decompile)
3.      Close the database.
4.      Open the database again normally.
In addition to this, if you experience the crash please send the error report when prompted to do so after the crash.

Hello,
Have you tried the workaround? It should work after you decompile your databases.
And if there is better solution released by Microsoft, you will be able to find them in certain KB like:

Office 2013 SP1 update on client no longer allows connection to Office Telemetry Database

I have just updated my machine with Office 2013 SP1 and have found that I can no longer connect to the Office Telemetry Database. It fails with a Database Connection Failure. The database needs to be updated.
I can connect fine from the server locally so just wondering if someone can confirm that the telemetry server needs updated to SP1 before it will allow my machine to connect?
Thanks

Hi,
We haven't heard such report after Office 2013 SP1 released. We will monitor on this problem and we will let you know if we found that the problem was caused by SP1. Meanwhile, we can try to uninstall SP1 to see if the problem persists.

Deploy Office 2010 gpo/oct activation

I am trying to deploy Office 2010 Standard through group policy startup computer script. A batchfile runs which starts the setup off Office and a msp file. First office 2003 gets deinstalled and Office 2010 installed. This all go fine but the activation
fails. When i start a Office program the program wants to activate.
Reading on the Internet about this problem comes with a lot of solutions which do not work. Solutions like AUTO_ACTIVATE and ospp /act in the oct configuration already tried without luck.
We use a proxy server in our orginisation but the proxy server is set in Internet Explorer. The difference is that the installation runs as a system user when set as computer startup script policy. Maybe that is the issue that the system user cannot reach
the internet....
Off course when i login as the user and start for example excel then he cannot activate because of the user rights. A prompt appears of UAC that a username and password must be given but that can not be left over to the users....
We use a MAK key and not KMS (not a solution because MAK key is chosen..)
Also tried to activate remotly thru ospp but then a error appears 0x80072ee2. According to Microsoft this has something to do with rights, but how to overcome this problems.
I would like a silent install thru GPO and no user intervention, including activating....
What is the best way to solve this problem?
freddie

I have almost the complete silent install however struggling with activation. Tried the above command in OCT with the cmd.exe /c etc switch but nothing happens because after starting a office programm activation requered coms in. It could be do that the installation
is in a batchfile and runs in a computer GPO maybe the system user has no rights to activate….
I cannot find a log file in %temp% to see what errors are…
I have also tried to set a batchfile at computer startup the runonce and even force in the OCT to start the machine up after Office 2010 is installed but then i need to restart the machine again because the runonce batchfile is put there after a restart is
taken place i guess so the machine needs to reboot the second time for the activation batchfile runs.
I am now seeking a easy way to activate silently and automatically without user intervention.
Summarize what i have tried:
configure office thru OCT in the OCT tried AUTO_ACTIVATE =1 and add registry keys which adds a key in the runonce to start a batchfile which suppoce to activate Office. But after install office the machine restarts and after login the batch is not started,
it is started next reboot....
Als tried in OCT to run cscript OSPP /act as a command post installation.
Non of the above works. Auto_activate and the direct script OSPP does nothing. The batchfile in the runonce starts the OSPP command but after a new restart so it needs 2 restarts.
The msp file is saved on a shared resource and the command to start the msp file is put in a batchfile which runs at startup script thru gpo, so maybe the local system user which runs the installation then cannot access the internet or whatever but thatswhy
i made batchfile in the runonce so that batch is started under the user, but if only the batchfile would start after the installation and reboot of Office 2010 and not reboot again to start it...
What else can i do to activate Office automatically?
freddie

Office 2010 SP2 deploy several systems

We are deploying Office 2010 Standard thru Group Policy. SP2 i downloaded later so there are a dozen systems already installed office without the SP2. The meaning is to also install the SP2 Office to the machines which have gotton Office 2010 without SP2.
The quistion i have is: how do i deploy SP2 Office update thru GPO to several machines which already got the Office 2010 Standard installed. How to install Updates office thru GPO? This is not a setup file but all MSP files in the SP2?
I have already seen that one can do it by script but how?
freddie

Hi,
Your require could be done via script. I think you need to add some if-else sentences in the script. We could use version number to determine which machines need to install SP2.
The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to 14.0.7015.1000.
The version number of Office 2010 SP1 is greater than or equal to 14.0.6029.1000 but less than
14.0.7015.1000.
The version number of the original RTM release of Office 2010 (that is, with no service pack) is greater than or equal to
14.0.4763.1000 but less than 14.0.6029.1000.

Office 2010 applications frequently Not Responding

Desktop config: Windows XP SP3 + Office 2010 + SP1 activated via KMS
We seem to be getting a large number of cases where the Office 2010 application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) locks up and just displays 'Not Responding'
The only clue we can see if that in ALL cases just before the Not Responding issue occured the following was logged in the clients event log - there are no other event logged such as application hangs.

Max -
No offense intended, but while I agree that this could be the case, your answer is for XP and I find it lacking a good solution with a rather bland explanation.
I'm seeing this problem with Windows 7, but we are not using a KMS, however the OPPSVC does run rather frequently, as seen in the Event Logs.
When opening Word documents in Office 2010, the computer will "hang" and applications show the "Not Responding" message for several minutes before returning, if at all. It will not happen every time the application is opened, and happens regardless of whether
or not Word is already open at the time the document is opened. It almost seems as though the Office Platform Protection Service is the CAUSE of the problem, and when looking at the process in SysInternals Process Explorer, I don't see anything out of the
ordinary that would explain why the system resources are being tied up by that service, although I admit I have not been able to capture the problem when it's occurring because it happens pretty randomly.
I'm less convinced that there is a third-party software causing the problem and more convinced that if the OPPSVC is already running, and you happen to open a document at the exact same time that the service fires off to do it's check, it enters a minor
race condition of some kind and either never responds, or takes a long time to resolve/timeout.
This issue is having a major impact during sales demonstrations that my organization does because it causes the entire demonstration to pause or crash and is totally unacceptable. All of our licenses are in order and I can't shut off the OPPSVC to verify
if it's causing the problem because Word will not start if the service is disabled.
A better solution would be much appreciated.

Detect SP version by script (Office 2010)

Hello, I want to push the Office 2010 SP2 upgrade through SCCM and I am trying to detect the Service Pack version of Office 2010 by script but I am having some difficulties.
According to this site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687455/fr) it says that Office 2010 SP2 is greater or equal than 14.0.7015.1000. I
have Office 2010 SP1 and my version is 14.0.7116.5000...obviously, I can't rely on that.
Also, to make things more complicated, we have the following :
Office 2010 Pro Plus and Office 2010 Standard (we also have different versions of 2003 and 2007 too...!)
Some computers only have Word or Excel installed, nothing else...so I guess the common file for all these installations would be MSO.dll ?
Office 2010 could have been installed any of these ways :
with no SP
with no SP, then SP1 applied
with SP1 applied directly in the CD
Any idea of what could be the best way for me to easily detect the SP version ??? How did you guys manage to do it ?
Thanks!

Hi,
A simple method to detect the SP version is to go to Control Panel
-> Programs -> Programs and Features ->
View installed updates, from there we can see all the Updates for Microsoft Office, we can easily tell if the Service Pack has been installed.
Here is my update list for Microsoft Office 2013:
Apparently I've installed Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office 2013.
This is simple and can be quite helpful.

Win7Pro + Office 2010 - integrate in same image and sysprep?

Hello,
are there any arguments against installing Office 2010 Sp1 into an Windows 7 Pro image and then syspreping the image? Image will be used for many 100 clients.
Activation is for both (Win+Office) over kms.
Is this against best practices? Should Office always be kept out of the image...?
Would be thankful for any help on this.

Office 2010 post SP2 updates deploy with MDT

So I'm looking forward to deploy my office 2010 pro plus (VLK media, activating via KMS host) with MDT, and I have some configs setup using Office Customization Tool to install it. I have the SP2 installer that installs after Office 2010 is installed.
Everything works well, however until i realize that are still a few hundred MB's of update (security patches etc) after the SP2 install. So allowing MDT to install the update on run time is not ideal ( consumes more time and bandwidth) so my question is where
can I get all the post SP2 updates for office pro 2010? (I'm assuming they're all .msp files where i can dump it all into the update folder in office).
Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Jack,
Microsoft Office sustained Engineering team publish news about security updates, public updates, service packs for Office in this site:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_sustained_engineering/archive/tags/office+2010/default.aspx
You can find all the Office updates that released each month in this site. However, the updates that applicable to your computer are really depend on your setup environment, not all that released are applicable.
I would suggest you to go to Windows Update, and Check for updates. Windows Update will automatically search updates that are applicable to your computer. You can choose to download the updates manually and save it
to your computer.

Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
regards
Roga

Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
E.G. this blog
Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
"Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
to have finally been suppressed."
This blog
Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
"After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
And this one
Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
"The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
here.
So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view
