Registry Values and Group Policy
I used Group Policy Editor (local policy on workgrouped computers, no domain)
with Word07 Admin Template to set formatting options in Word. However, not all formatting options are contained in the Admin Template. Where can i go to get the Admin Template entries, Group Policy entries, Registry.pol entries, or Registry entries for these missing options? Thanks for your response, Jim |

Registry Values and Group Policy
I don't claim much knowledge of these settings, but it's possible that they
can't be set, either by accident or design. What are the missing ones? -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "jimwashere" wrote in message ...

Registry Values and Group Policy
Hi Tony,
Thanks for your response. The Group Policy Admin Template for Word07 gives about 75% of the ProofingAutoCorrect Options. Unfortunately, the missing settings are also what I need to control. For example, we have a computer lab in our Business department. Using Word07, our students can type in an Internet Hyperlink and it will show or not show as an active link depending on the Options setting. There is no policy in the Word07 Admin Template for Hyperlinks. Funny as it may seem, there IS a setting for Hyperlinks in the Excel07 Admin Template. I have looked at the Registry Entries in the resultant Registry.pol file created when you use any of these templates. The Excel registry entries do not follow the same naming convention as for Word07 registry entries. I tried using the Excel settings for Word but nothing happened to control the Hyperlink setting. It is possible to create Admin Templates for Group Policies, but without the Word07 registry entries for the missing options, I am stuck? I hope that you or someone can help me.

I wish there was an Office Profile Wizard for Office 2007. All of our
settings were captured and easily reset on the computers. Jim |

Registry Values and Group Policy
Looking back at earlier releases, fHyperlink_200_1 seems to work for that
particular example. I suspect this is just an oversight, and probably worth raising with Microsoft, but before I do, what else have you found to be missing? From a quick check, this appears to be the only missing AutoCorrect option. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "jimwashere" wrote in message ... Hi Tony, Thanks for your response.

Registry Values and Group Policy
I have had a closer look at this and it seems to me that some of the names
of the registry entries that are present, are incorrect. Have you actually tried to implement any policies, and, if so, do they work, or have you not got that far yet? -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Tony Jollans" My forename at my surname dot com wrote in message ...

Registry Values and Group Policy
Thanks for your response. Sorry for my late response.
I did some minor testing. I unchecked and saved all Word07's AutoCorrect settings, I enabled and saved all the policies from the Word12.adm file, then restarted the computer. Looking at the results, I estimated about 75% of the AutoCorrect settings were checked. And yes, the Hyperlinks setting was still unchecked. Thanks for the tip with the fHyperlink_200_1 name. As the Excel07 value names for the settings do not have suffixed numbers. I did not look at previous Word version's Admin Templates to find their value names. Good idea! Or better yet, maybe I could just grab all Word07's registry settings and reapply them as needed using a batch file. Your comments are greatly appreciated, Jim P.S. I did not want to say anything negative, but it seems whoever set up the policies in the word12.adm file, did not look at Word Options' groupings. The AutoCorrect policies are scattered all over the Admin Template's groupings.

Registry Values and Group Policy
Let me say up front that I have no real-world experience of this, so could
be missing something, but it appears to me - and I have raised the issue with Microsoft - that the Word 12 Admin templates are copies of the Word 11 Admin templates that do not reflect the changes in the underlying versions of Word. From what you say, I think you are seeing the same as me, so perhaps my observations will help you get what you want, working. As far as I can tell, the numbers in the registry value names are all that is significant, so, for example, Thrusday_200_1 works the same as fHyperlink_200_1. Your estimate of 75% of values rather understates the issue, whilst my original querying of it was based on eyeballing the templates, giving an even greater understatement. Many of the values used in the Template have the wrong numbers, but as the names are irrelevant, doing them en-bloc means that you don't realise when one value is actually changing a different setting. With the above in mind, it seems that the following options should have numbers 32 greater than actually used. Note that the names are not exact, just copied from scribbled notes, I hope you can infer the meaning; also note that this is not a complete list. I leave it up to you, how best to apply the corrected names in your own environment. Headings, Bullets, Numbers, First Line Indent, assorted Japanese Closing options, Dates, Tables. Also, I agree with you about the groupings - more generally than just here; the various Auto-features are intertwined all over the place. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "jimwashere" wrote in message ...
