Word 2003 problems
Hi:
A friend just installed MS Office 2003. Previously she was using Office 97. When trying to copy & paste she can highlight the text and copy but the paste feature isn't available. Also, the Show/Hide feature to reveal character marks doesn't work, nor does the Help function. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Has your friend successfully activated Office 2003?

She had some trouble with that as Hotmail wouldn't accept the Microsoft
address. However when we open all the programs each says that it has been 'activated'. If this isn't the case how can she get around the Hotmail problem or is she better off using another e-mail account to activate? Thanks. "Tim" tim_at_overthere.com wrote in message ...

I don't recall needing an e-mail address to activate Office. Would you
please explain that a little further? Are you confusing activation with registration? Tim "huey" wrote in message ... She had some trouble with that as Hotmail wouldn't accept the Microsoft address.

Word 2003 problems
Hi:
Perhaps I was. From what we can see the problem seems to be related to not allowing macros to run when she installed the program. When she set them to medium security within Word the paste function and Show/Hide features work. If she can't register due to the e-mail address problem will the program continue to function? It is a legitimate copy. Thanks for your help. "Tim" tim_at_overthere.com wrote in message ... I don't recall needing an e-mail address to activate Office.

Registration is voluntary (as opposed to activation - which is not) and does
not have any affect on any application. It's been a while since I actually bothered to register but I do know that some companies do not allow or accept "free" e-mail addresses (such as Hotmail or Yahoo) when registering. In your case, its a little ironic that MS won't allow Hotmail accounts. So as long as setting security to medium fixes the problem, you are fine. Tim "huey" wrote in message ... Hi: Perhaps I was.
