READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
The B2TR patch has some nasty surprises for users in store. The most
important one being that Word 2007 Beta 2 files saved in the new file formats (extensions docx, docm, etc) might not open at all once B2TR has been installed. Excel files in the file formats (extensions xlsx, xlsm, etc) saved in B2 should open in B2TR. PowerPoint files saved in B2 in the new file formats (extensions pptx, pptm, etc) seem to at least open, but seem to have issues with font size, text placement, and other minor issues. Before installing B2TR therefore, you should save all your files in the 97-2003 file formats. That means, save all your docx files as doc (Word), all your xslx files as xls (Excel) and all your pptx files as ppt (PowerPoint). There are a host of other issues you might encounter. I am keeping a running list that I will update constantly over the next few days at http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/09/14/43. I highly suggest to read it before installing B2TR.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
As you just made the move right now, you won't be in much trouble.
People who have been using Beta 2 for a while and now got B2TR are the ones experiencing most issues.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
G'Day Patrick,
Thanks for the Information! You may remember that I had some issue with OL2007 - most of these are now resolved. When I print, I still get warnings about Prop Res DLL not loaded, but it prints ok. The Editor seems much improved - as does the rest of Office 2007. Thanks again! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Patrick Schmid" wrote in message ...

Thanks Patrick (I am enjoying your Ribbon add-in now all the time in 2007)
