Hi Judith Not sure you have solved your missing tool bar problem but if its the same as my older version, go to programs, in the list you should have Microsoft Office Tools, select that and theres an option to click on to bring up the tool bar, you can then drag it to where you want it on the screen and select Autohide or not by right clicking on it and select what you want on it Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Thanks David, I have uninstalled 2002 Pro and installed the 2007 as you > advised and all seems to be well, with the exception that I now dont have > the Microsoft Office Toolbar that I used to have in the 2002 version. > Would > you know if there is any way of getting that back please? > > Regards > Judith

Hi Listers, I purchased a 2nd hand laptop recently which had what I thought was a legal copy of Microsoft Office XP Pro 2002 [no disk]. Microsoft validation tool says it's not legal. I am going to buy a legal copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, but do I need to delete the illegal Office XP Pro 2002 first or will it install over the top? Regards Judith

I can't say for sure about illegal copies, but upgrades always overwrite older copies. If the new version thinks the previous version is being upgraded, it should just overwrite it. I've used MS Office since version 4. -----Original Message----- From: computers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:computers-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Judith Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 7:18 AM To: computers@rootsweb.com Subject: [COMPUTERS] Microsoft Office.

Donald, What is the OS, Windows 2000, 98, XP or what? Is this asking for the password and a User account name, or up front in the BIOS area?

Judith, It will be best that 2002 is uninstalled first. As the two have different contents. 2002 Pro has a Access, and Outlook, while the HS2007, does not.

I may be wrong, but I am thinking there is an option somewhere in the menus when you are burning the DVD that says to "make compatible" with other computers/devices, etc.??? -----Original Message----- From: computers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:computers-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ken Smart snip.... create a slideshow DVD which will play on my computer but not on my DVD player.

Hi, I have basic anti-virus protection from CA Security which is soon to be renewed. Lately I have been receiving a lot of SPAM - I need some help in stopping this - but, some genuine emails sometimes have 'SUSPECTED SPAM' in the subject line - eg - Findmy Past - I would prefer to download a free protection program - any advice or help really appreciated. I realize that I can purchase anti-spam from CA Security but the costs are becoming huge. many thanks Annette WATSON Lismore Australia

I don't think you'll find a free anti-virus program that also handles spam, but you can create an email filter to delete that labeled spam. AND you can get an email address on GMail, and get almost all your spam filtered out, and that IS free. One thing that's possible and doesn't require you to change your email address is to forward all your mail to a gmail address, then forward it back to your existing address.

I have always used DVD-R with no problems on either of the 3 different DVD players that I have.

I am running Windows XP SP3 and have Nero 8 Essentials (which came with printer) In the past, I have been able to create a slideshow using Microsoft Photo Story 3 and burn it to a DVD which has always been playable on my DVD Player. Perhaps this 83 year old brain is becoming befuddled, as I can now only create a slideshow DVD which will play on my computer but not on my DVD player. I`m doing something wrong somewhere, and am hoping some clever person on the List can "put me right". Ken Smart.
