hyphenation - possible glitch? ... just passing this on
I just posted here re a 'Viewer' for Word - using the mouse cursor and was
given great advice. This new issue may or may not be related to that advice. In Organize (Windows Explorer, Vista Home Premium) \ Layout \ Preview Pane (which is now checked), I can see the 'preview' contents of various Word documents which was my goal in that previous post. Now when I single click on a Word (Word 97 - 2003 *.doc) to see the contents in Preview Pane, I see the following prompt - "Word hyphenation feature is not available. Run the Microsoft Office Setup program, install this feature and then try again." Huh? OK. I grab the disk, look for Hyphenation (not easy) and discover it 'is installed on first use' ... or something like that. (I've been using Vista and Office 2007 since Feb 2007 and this Hyphenation prompt never appeared before. Could this be related to the Preview Pane being clicked?) The only way I could eliminate that prompt (since according to the Office 2007 Set Up disk the hyphenation feature is installed on first use), was to simply create a Word 97 - 2003 *.doc and click on Hyphenation to actually use that feature. (That feature appears to have been already used on *.docx documents.) Now when I single click on a Word 97- 2003 *.doc document to view its contents in the Preview Pane, that prompt does not appear. If this is a minor glitch, consider this a suggestion; if everything is working according to plan, ignore. I was only slightly annoyed that I had to find that Set Up disk, search for Hyphenation, and learn it was already installed when first used. Just passing this on. Thanks, DH |

hyphenation - possible glitch? ... just passing this on
If it is set to "Install on First Use," then it is not installed until it is
needed and you specifically tell Word to install it, which is why you got the prompt and had to insert the installation disc. There are three install settings: Run from My Computer (installed); Install on First Use; and Not Installed. The middle one is the one you choose if you're not sure whether you'll ever need the feature, but it's best avoided unless HD space is at a premium, especially if you're likely to be without the CD when you need to use it. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, thanks for your information!
I have to say I must think differently than MS. When I see the option 'Install on first use', I assumed the files needed for that feature were already on my harddrive, perhaps compressed, waiting to be activated. FWIW, when I installed Office 2007 I believe I just used their 'recommended' settings. I've learned something. Thanks, DH "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I think there may be an option to copy all the files to your computer
without actually "installing" them, but, since this would require almost as much HD space as actually installing all the features (I guess they are in compressed .cab files), I'm not sure I see the point. -- Suzanne S.

Yes. You can use the CDCache=2 to cache the whole DVD to a local drive and
you can specify the location with the LocalCacheDrive= string. Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I can't remember whether I did this when I installed or not, but, having
worked with Office 2003 for several years, I was pretty confident of what features I wanted to install (*and* I can always easily lay my hands on the install CD). -- Suzanne S.
