re: The Chronicles of Scargill: Office BETA

Peter Scargill — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 21:41:52 GMT

Hi David

Just thought I'd bring this up to date - I WAS the IT Director of the FSB for 14 unchallended years - now I'm writing full time in Spain and the UK.

Looking back at this article - I'm wondering what happend to that innovatiuon streak in Microsoft - by Office 2016, the pace of improvement had slowed down incredibly.

I'm even starting to like Linux now I understand it (though I would not part with Powerpoint).

Perfect! Everything else I found was a bunch of links to understand this and that and this cuts the chase and brings you right to where you need to go.

Thanks TONS!

Your registry fix for Word worked just fine.

Opening Execl in safe mode avoids the stdole.tlb error and the registration process however I'm concerned that running Excel in safe mode all the time may inhibit functionality. Do you have any suggestions for pinning down the problem? Thanks so much!

I had the pleasure of hearing Melinda Gates speaking at the women deliver conference in Copenhagen Denmark last year. I was so impressed by what they have done for people, and they are using the ressources they have in a socially good manner.

The gates foundation do a lot of work for maternal and newborn health, which is a problem where help is much needed. Our little webshop is called PetitePeople.com, and for every gift purchased, we give a health kit to save mothers and babies. It is just a drop in a big ocean, but we all have to do our bit, and it will add up in the end. Keep up the good work.

Dan, this was true in 2011. Microsoft have moved the log files since then :-)

And David had the solution !

Many thanks !

Thanks so much--this has been a problem for me for many years. Why can't Microsoft hire useful people like *you*, instead of those useless/incompetent/illiterate toadies who post "did you try re-installing?" solutions on MS "support" websites?

I have Office 2003 and like it, but find use for 2007.

If I put in its own patrician, can I place a short cut on the desk top and access it without causes any access problems for 2003?

More 2015 thanks here!

I have some old VB programs that, using automation, call Word macros. the 2003 macros won't work in Word 2007, so I had to reinstall.

Your fix works like a charm, even on Win 8.1 x64.

Thanks!
