Five things every tech should know about Microsoft Office 2003 | |
|
||
| Time: 10:38 EST/15:38 GMT | News Source: TechRepublic | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||

With Microsoft Office 2003 set to launch in October, users are eagerly anticipating its new features. For support technicians, new features may mean new problems to solve, so it's important for techs to be aware of what's different in Office 2003—especially those changes that are likely to result in support calls. | ||

| So, I'm curious: What happens if a user tries to open a protected Office 2003 file in a previous version? |
| #2 By 37 (64.109.30.2) at 9/23/2003 2:53:53 PM |
| Can't do it mikekol. Microsoft Office 2003 users only. If you attempt to open in an older version of Word, it will not let you open the file. |

| That would be censorship kevin. Unless it's vulgar or racial slurs, it's fair game. |

AWBrian - it's not censorship if you allow the end user to control it. Allow each user to maintain their own killfile. They can add and remove people from it however they wish. I've implemented this on my site, and I'd be willing to talk with someone at ActiveWin about how to do something similar (it's not that hard - I'm sure you guys could come up with a better way than I did). Feel free to contact me if you're interested. This post was edited by mikekol on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 at 15:27. |

| mike, that is correct. In the scenario that you provide, it is not censorship. I will have to see if that is an option for the new ActiveWin site. I will keep you updated. |

This would be a great feature, choosing who I want to read and who I choose to ignore. Let's get this on the new site. From what I've seen its fairly simple to do, so this is a must for the next updated version of activewin. This post was edited by Zeo01 on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 at 16:25. |

| I would be very tempted to block sodajerk, I can tell you that :-P |

| monkeydog, why don't you go play in the street or something? |

Monkeydog,
Get off of our forums. I can now see why some of the senior members of activewin have stopped commenting, its because of lame commments like yours. |
| #10 By 3 (62.253.128.7) at 9/23/2003 5:31:48 PM |

I'll say this i won't ban anyone for stupid comments like monkeydog's currently, otherwise we would have a userbase of about 12. If you don't like the comments, ignore them.
Obviously I can now go ahead and change the site terms to stop this kind of commenting, but if we do that where will it stop. |
| #11 By 135 (208.186.90.91) at 9/23/2003 6:04:59 PM |
| I fear that I would not be one of the glorious 12. |

With 30 comments, I thought this was a hot topic on Office 2003...especially since I am considering the upgrade.
But instead, its a series of inane comments from monkeydog that I MIGHT expect from my 7 year old (if he was having a bad day). This is becoming a problem.... So, on the topic...any real comments on the meat of the article? |
| #13 By 7711 (68.45.61.39) at 9/23/2003 7:19:01 PM |
| Sorry....rant mode now <off>.... |

| No, Server 2003 is NOT required to use IRM. We are using IRM at work here, and we have Windows XP workstations as well as Windows XP as our peer to peer server. No Server 2003 required. |

Microsoft offers a service online that you can use (probably have to pay for at a later date) that allows you to use IRM with having to have Windows Server 2003.
"Information Rights Management – IRM is an extension of Windows Rights Management (RM) into Microsoft Office 2003 applications. IRM in Office 2003 requires RMS on Windows Server 2003, either within the organization or ***via a Microsoft service***: Microsoft IRM Service Microsoft will also host a limit-time trial IRM service for customers who do not host their own Windows Rights Management Services Server. This service will enable users to share protected documents and e-mail messages using Microsoft Passport as the authentication mechanism instead of Active Directory. Note that users of this service will not be able to create custom rights templates, such as the “Company Confidential” template described earlier. |

I'm waiting for "Toilet Paper Distribution Server".
What's one more server in the grand scheme of things ? :) TL |
