READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
Hi Patrick,
What you listed would be different variants of the same file format, not a different format (i.e. the details are evolving but the structure is pretty much the same). It's similar to the RTF spec in that regard in that it changes with each version of Word as well and to the .doc, etc file formats. New versions of each app may have features not backwards compatible but the file format is considered to be 'the same'. With betas, it's often the forward (between beta-test versions) compatability that gets to be the issue. It would have been nice if MS's 'error' dialogs in TR2 were looking at the headers in the file to be a bit more specific on what they're seeing as the problem. It might also be an interesting exercise to see if the claims on being able to recover files when one part breaks from the .---x (zipped) contents would be doable in trying to save the content from a pre B2TR file by moving them to a new .---x structure. ==================== "Patrick Schmid" wrote in message ... Definitely different. Files created in B1 and B1TR don't open in B2TR anymore, they actually produce a corrupt file error message. B2TR uses the XML file formats according to the Ecma draft v1.4, B2 used 1.3. B1TR and B1 were earlier versions.

Just to finish up this discussion. The only related "issue" that affects
all users is the "Building Blocks.dotx" file. B2TR setup doesn't replace this file, as it is considered a user file. In order to get the newest content for all galleries though, this file needs to be replaced with its B2TR version. If a user modified the building blocks in B2 (e.g. galleries), this shouldn't be done though as those modifications will be lost in the process. In order to replace the file, close Word and use Start, Run, type "%appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks" and delete the file "Building Blocks.dotx" there. Word will recreate the file automatically once you open it again and drop-down a gallery. Patrick Schmid -------------- http://pschmid.net |

Tried your suggestion - got an error message:

G'Day Patrick, Thanks for the Information! You may remember that I had some issue with OL2007 - most of these are now resolved.

Thanks again! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Patrick Schmid" wrote in message ... 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.

Seems as if everything worked just fine. Will have to get used to the new Office design, however. Don't like it too much so far. Takes away even more screen real estate than before. I wonder what will be left on my TabletPC's screen ... Double Left Click on one of the tabs to hide the ribbon. After doing that, a left click on one of the tabs will display the ribbon for that tab. Thanks for the hint, Doug. Had already detected that. May it's just initial disliking of something dramatically new. But think the good old ToolBars had there merits and I do not understand that there is no "compatibilty mode". I can easily imagine waht will break loose in our offices when the secretaries and assistents will have to face to new way ... Billions of workhours, I estimate, to be billed to Seattle ... Rainald |

Double-click a ribbon tab or press ctrl-f1. That will minimize the ribbon (it stays minimized). You can then use it via single-clicking a tab. It will then only hover over your document and disappear similar to a menu again. Toggle the behavior via ctrl-f1 or double-clicking a tab again. Thanks for your assitance, Patrick! Had detected that meanwhile (except Ctrl+F1 which for sure my tablet will love [grrrrh]). Rainald |

I think the majority of those who actually knew the applications have
all asked the same thing. I know I absolutely hated it at first. While the old toolbars have their merits, the new functionally that has been integrated simply can not be duplicated with the old toolbars. I don't know if you found this, but Help contains links to interactive reference guides for the applications. If you know where a favorite command was located in the Microsoft Office 2003 application, navigate to the command using the old interface and the interactive command reference guide will provide information to its new location in a screen tip. If you need more help, clicking the command will animate the location in the 2007 Microsoft Office application. Here's the direct link: http://officebeta.iponet.net/client/...HA100625841033 To find it in Help it's located in the TOC under "Getting Help". Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Thank you for your reply and the reference.
I will have get used to it whether I like it or not. "'Maybe it's just a matter of taste' said the monkey when had bitten ito the piece of soop" But quite some learning curve for the staff in the office (hopefully replacing Solitaire for a while g).
