My advice:

My advice for older formats such as Word 95, Word 98 etc, is to convert them now to another format. Not necessarily to another Word format, but to something more generic (and potentially more likely to live longer) such as HTML or XML or one of the Open Document formats. That way you're future-proofed for a while, no matter what software comes along.

It's the same dilemma those of us of a certain age and over ;) have—what do we do with our old vinyl records, even our now-old CDs, and video tapes, and possibly soon-to-be-dead DVDs? There will always be new technology coming out (barring global catastrophe), and updating is an issue we all have to face, whether it's our electronic documents, digital photos (gee, remember slides??), music, or whatever. While you may still have that old record player for your vinyls, you probably don't still have the old computer that your Word 98 was installed on.

Think of both electronic and hard copy storage:

• With electronic you could go to HTML/XML/ODF, or even throw the contents up on to a private blog (e.g., Wordpress has the option to keep your blog private... of course, you don't know how long Wordpress etc. will be around, so that's a risk... as is any web-based storage. But blogs like Wordpress allow you to export your content in an XML file, so at least the content is preserved.)
• Print out your documents with a laser printer (or something other than dot matrix (!) or ink jet). This creates some degree of permanency AND you can always scan them into software at a later date if you need them (OCR software is getting better and better). There's something to be said for the permanency of books and paper!
• Another hard copy solution if you don't want to keep them electronically (i.e., they are finished), is to do some 'vanity press' printing through one of the on-demand print places, or a service like lulu.com or blurb.com where you can print your own book.

And a realistic look:

• How soon before your machines are ALL on Vista and Office 2007? Possibly some years yet...
• Can you still 'read' those Word 98 documents on Word 2003, for example? If so, load 'em up and save them into the Word 2003 format. While Word 2007 needs a converter to read Word 2003 documents, it is readily and freely available from Microsoft.
• RTF is unlikely to go away soon! TXT is even less likely to go away.
• Be aware that magnetic disks are inherently an unsafe medium that are very affected by their storage environment, so getting your documents off floppy disks should be an urgent priority in my opinion. Also, computers built in the past few years no longer have a floppy drive.

Summary: My advice would be to get them out of the Word 98 format and off floppy disks ASAP. The longer you leave it, the more likely you are to find that you can't read these formats at all.

In den folgenden Wordversionen war es eines dieser Werkzeuge, die ich als Wordindividualist sofort in meine eigene Symbolleiste legte. So hatte ich ihn jederzeit parat. Das Ergebnis sah dann in etwa so aus:Gleiches wollte ich nun in Word 2007 erreichen. Bekanntermaßen gibt es hier nur eine anpassbare Leiste, die Schnellstartleiste. Also wurde das Tool dorthin gepackt. In der Liste der hinzuzufügenden Befehle steht er ja auch noch. Zu Anfang lief auch alles wunderbar. Doch dann passierte vor einigen Tagen das unfassliche: nichts. Ich drückte mein grünes Knöpfchen (leider sind die Symbole auch nicht mehr alle so bunt anzuschauen bzw. darzustellen) und es passierte: nicht. NICHTS.

Alle Reparaturversuche blieben fruchtlos. Die Normal.dotm schien nichts damit zu tun zu haben und auch die alterwürdigen Schuldigen aus der Registry nahmen nichts auf ihre Kappe. Kurz: der Zustand schien endgültig. Bis ich – eigentlich aus Versehen – die Rücktaste betätigte. Und feststellte: damit lässt sich eine Nummerierung entfernen. Zugegeben, ich hätte früher darauf kommen können. Denn schon einst konnte man per Rücktaste z. B. die unliebsamen Tabulatoren entfernen. Doch das war ich zwischenzeitlich längst nicht mehr gewohnt. Und jetzt das! Ich testete es mehrfach, aber es ist (immer noch) ganz einfach: Cursor in der Aufstellung an die Stelle setzen, die überhüpft werden soll (hinter die Ziffer bzw. den darauf folgenden Tabstopp) und dann einfach Rücktaste. Voilá! Wer sagt's denn: Word kann auch einfach ;-)

2. Click OK, then the following will appear

3. Backup the registry: file|export
Exported to a folder that is easy to locate and save backup with the date in the file name

4. Make your way down until you see the following at the bottom of the window:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SharedTools\
ProofingTools\1.0\Override\en-US

5. There should be at least two files in the folder in addition to the default shown. Delete all files except the default, which cannot be deleted

6. Close the window and restart the computer

7. Office spell check should work.

Tinggal ketik, trus post deh.. Aku sebelum punya blog pernah buka2 dikit... Trus lupa.. Baru sekarang ingat.. (heheh.. Kena Amnesia kayaknya..).

Tapi karena malas ngetik tutorialnya, kucomot aja dari blog Mas Isroi ya... (syndrom lazy lagi nyerang..!!) :mrgreen:

Liat aja tutorialnya disini... (lengkap kok..)

Tapi kalo menurutku masih perlu diedit lagi dikit di wp-admin...

Thnx to Mas Isroi

Here's what you do (taken from Word 2007 help):

1. Select the rows or table that you want to convert to paragraphs.
2. Under Table Tools, on the Layout tab, in the Data group, click Convert to Text.
3. Under Separate text at, click the option for the separator character that you want to use in place of the column boundaries (eg tab).

I had the honor of moderating a seminar session at the SSP Annual Meeting on May 28th entitled, "The View from the New Office: Opportunities and Issues Incorporating Office 2007 Into Scholarly Publishing." Here are my observations from "Nascent: Nature's Blog on Web Technology and Science."

On another note, it may not be as cool as SSP, but the Web 2.0 Expo often brings along some mind-blowing thinkers and cool new software and services. I went to this event on the West Coast in '07, and it was well worth the trip. Now that it's a local event for East Coast publishers, how can you pass it up? Sign up here early.

In Word 2000 en 2003 kun je de bestandslocatie van de sjablonen aanpassen onder Extra, Opties,

Klik op het tabblad Bestandslocaties en selecteer Werkgroepsjablonen voor algemene sjablonen of selelcteer Gebruikerssjablonen voor eigen sjablonen die niet algemeen gebruikt worden.

Klik op wijzigen om een andere map te selecteren. Er opent dan een verkennervenstertje, waar je de nieuwe map kunt selecteren.

In Word 2007 zit dit venster diep verstopt. Ga naar de Officeknop

Klik er op en kies Opties voor Word, onderaan in het venster

Klik hier op Geavanceerd, in het linkerdeel van het venster

Klik in onderstaande venster op de knop Bestandslocaties

Nu opent het venster, zoals we dat ook kennen van Word 2000 en 2003

Hat man auf der Registerkarte Überprüfen die entsprechende Sprache (Arabisch, Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch) unter dem Auswahlfeld des Icons "Quickinfo für die Übersetzung" aktiviert, erhält man Hilfe beim Fremdsprachengebrauch.

In Englisch klappt das sogar recht anständig, aber zugegeben: Arabisch habe ich noch nicht getestet.

En los encabezados y pies de página puede insertar texto o gráficos, o bien cambiarlos. Por ejemplo, puede agregar números de página, la hora y la fecha, un logotipo de su organización, el título del documento, el nombre del archivo o el nombre del autor.

Manches ist wirklich gut gelöst, das meiste aber mindestens gewöhnungsbedürftig. Alte Hasen tun sich schwer.Den Dokumentvorlagen-bezogenen Symbolleisten jedenfalls trauert man als "Power-User" schon hinterher...

An ihrer Stelle nun diese Multifunktionsleiste – quasi eine Kreuzung zwischen Symbolleisten und Menüs.
Ärgerlich, dass darin keine wirkliche Logik zu finden ist. Nicht nur, dass die Befehle grundsätzlich an anderen Orten untergebracht scheinen, nein, sie sind zudem bestens verteilt. Ich werde das nie hinterblicken.

Aber wer tut das schon? Und – muss man das eigentlich?

If you have upgraded to MS Word 2007 and have not had a chance to explore SmartArt.

SmartArt brings a whole new way of entering graphical representations into your Word documents, without the need for constructing them in another program and then importing the graphics.

This is an example of what you can do with Word 2007 SmartArt:

Using a Funnel Design to explain how an article is produced.

The brightness tab can be used to enhance or soften the effects of the funnel image.

How to use Reader Works to create ebook files from Word 2007 documents. Essentially, the video walks through the steps involved in creating an ebook in Reader Works.

Please let me know what you think.

Keegan.

Note that the files listed are all xml files, which are stored in a different location. There is an option to continue, and most of the time, it will create the ebook.

When the program does not successfully create the ebook then it is necessary to save the Word document as a .txt file. That removes all associations with xml files or any other problems that may cause the program not to create the ebook.

Keegan.

I had never received this error message in Word XP, and after searching and finding no solution on the net I remembered, there is a solution to the problem. Last year when I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista, I had a similar problem. That problem forced me to look for an alternative program with which to create ebook files (I detailed the problem in
Windows Vista Update). Reader Works is the free standalone program I found. Reader Works also solved this problem with only a minor adjustment on the part of the user, the Word document must be saved in the .doc format. The program does not support the .docx format.

Am at the phase of wrapping up the my book and it has come out well. I have a list of publishers whose doors I shall be knocking soon, so all you publishers out there, am coming !

I also discovered Notepad ++ ver 4.8.5, a great application that I write my blogs (like this post) offline and do other plain text editing. It is also great for XML and HTML editing, other things am learning! Did I mention 7Zip? Check out these utilities, and donate.

Am also waiting for my new Ubuntu CDs to be shipped, since downloading the ISO image on this side of the digital divide is a real pain in the back side. Are the ISPs and the fibre optic cablers reading this? I terribly need broadband (real, not imagined) on my balcony, barefoot (bila shoes). Talk to me people!

Still, hey life is truly phenomenal! Am enjoying it!

Finally I was able to connect to my wordpress acount using this new feature I found in Microsoft Word 2007. This feature will help me alot on updating my blog entries. Usually, when I upload my blog which consists of pargraphs and pictures, I would have to upload the pictures manually one-by-one. Now, I'm testing this application for the first time. And I hope everything goes smooth.

Great! It works Great! All the pictures I wanted to post on my blog is automatically uploaded on my wordpress account, and I don't have to set up the size or picture alignment, it is uploaded exactly as I how I created in Microsoft Word 2007.

It seems like from now on I'm going to have much fun with this new feature I discoverred!

Oyea, and I have to thank these guys for tips on blogging with Microsoft Word'07:

Cheers!

The difference between Word 2007 and previous versions is huge to say the least.  The first thing to be done is to learn the Ribbon, Tabs and Commands.

• - En el Word 2003, vaya a menú Herramientas y haga clic en la opción Contar palabras;
• - En el Word 2007, haga clic en la ficha Revisar, clic en el grupo Revisión, clic en Contar palabras

 Note que, con este procedimiento, Word exhibirá una ventana que informa la cantidad de páginas, la cantidad de caracteres (con o sin espacio), la cantidad de párrafos y la cantidad de líneas. Si lo que necesita es que muestre apenas las informaciones de un trecho del texto, basta seleccionarlo y repetir el procedimiento. Al hacer eso, el recurso Contar palabras mostrará apenas los datos del trecho seleccionado.

En e Word 2007, este nuevo formato basado en XML, un estándar promovido por Microsoft y que genera documentos más compactos, es un lenguaje que se usa para crear documentos estructurados de forma jerárquica, siendo fácil de interpretar y factible como medio de transferencia de información entre distintas aplicaciones incluso cuando éstas funcionan en sistemas operativos distintos.

Pero el problema es que computadoras antiguas que utilizan el Office 2003 o anterior no pueden abrir estos archivos. Si tiene el Office 2003, solo necesita hacer el Download del Paquete de Compatibilidad de Microsoft Office, haciendo clic aquí (pero para esto su Office tiene que ser original).

Para quien no tiene el Office instalado, puede bajar el Visualizador de documentos de Word y el Visualizador de documentos de PowerPoint.

Si ninguna de estas opciones le sirvió para visualizar sus documentos existe esta otra que es muy interesante, ThinkFree, paquete ofimático que ofrece compatibilidad total con el paquete Office.

Tiene idéntica apariencia al Office de Microsoft, le permite almacenar 1GB de archivos en Internet, para que sean alterados desde cualquier computadora, con solo utilizar su login y contraseña

Word 2007 soluciona este problema  empaquetando todas las fuentes personalizadas del documento. Los pasos para habilitar esta función son los siguientes.

Haga clic en la pequeña flecha que apunta hacia abajo en la parte izquierda de la barra de título de personalizar la barra de herramientas de acceso rápido.  A continuación, seleccione "Más comandos" de las opciones de menú desplegable.  (Véase la figura a la derecha)

Desde el diálogo de las opciones que se abre después  que, haga clic en "Guardar"  en el panel izquierdo.

Luego, busque en el panel de la derecha, y marque la opción que dice "Incrustar fuentes en el archivo". Deje las otras dos opciones como tales.  (Vea la figura más abajo a continuación)

Ahora guarde el archivo con fuentes personalizadas y trate de abrirlo en otra computadora.  Se podrá ver y editar  el documento sin ningún problema como si todas las fuentes personalizadas estuviesen instaladas en esa computadora.
