by Guest Gloria- 0 replies

Hi there, We have a server that gets rebooted, for contingency purposes, every 2 weeks but a particular folder always loses the share setup on it. We are running Win2000 sp4. Is it a setting in the registry that needs changing? Many thanks for your help. Gloria

default paste setting?
by Guest undisclosed- 0 replies
- 159 views
That was helpful--thank you. What may be even better, and more flexible, is to set up a keyboard shortcut that will paste unformatted text. How to do that is explained at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA010429611033.aspx The instructions there show how to reprogram Ctrl-V, but I think the method could be used for any key combination you like. -- MDeB

Clicking on "Help" in Word 2007 results in a blank help window.
by Guest kimmer- 0 replies
- 171 views
Instead of the online help displaying as it should, the content of the Help window is completely blank. The user reports this happened quite a while back, so doing a System Restore would be shooting in the dark. Is there some registry change to make to get this working as it should?

OFFICE 2007 TRAIL just expired on my new PC, thus the trail was UNINSTALLED, using the UNINSTALL option in CONTROL PANEL. I use Office 2003 Professional infrequently. I abhor old, out of date or unnecessary files on my machine so I was surprised to fiind all of the Office 07 updates taking up room on my pc. Can I delete all Office 2007 updates amd ensure my Office 03 will run properly? I am on a Win 7 platform. Thanks for any input!! I realy appreciate any feedback in regards to this issue. I wish the uninstall feature would remove bit of software, esp with all of Trials and Beta products available. Susann

I have two hard drives - 'C' is internal and 'I' is an external USB drive. I do not want to ever search the external 'I' drive. In Search Companion I select just the 'C' drive (instead of 'CI') and the search functions properly. I then close and reopen the Search Companion and the default search has switched back to 'C' and 'I'. Is there anyway to retain my defaults that I want to search? Thank you in advance.
