IV-43 Have you ever run across this message:
“Microsoft Excel was unable to save this file because you
do not have rename or delete privileges on the file server
where you tried to save it. A temporary file was created on
the server. You can re-open this temporary file, and save it
to another drive.” Great! Now what? Try this registry
entry to solve your problem.
Add the following value under the Parameters key:
Reboot your machine for these changes to take effect. MICROSOFT WORD 8.0/97 The following registry keys control the various options that are available in Microsoft Word 97. To change any of these options, you must exit Word, change the registry key, then restart Microsoft Word. IV-44 If your Word is crashing or you’re getting lots of Dr. Watson dialog boxes while you are using Word, try exiting Word and deleting the next two keys. Microsoft Word rebuilds them based on the information stored under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\New User Settings\Word registry key.
This values stores your personal toolbar settings for Microsoft Word.
This is where your personal settings for Microsoft Word are stored. IV-46 When using Word 97 to edit an HTML file, you are unceremoniously dumped with an error in Gdi.exe. To fix this problem, you need to have the Office 97 CD handy as well as Regedt32.exe.
Delete the Settings value under the data key.
Exit Regedt32.exe. Run setup from your Office 97 CD and choose Reinstall/Update. After Office 97 finishes updating the file, reboot the machine and the problem should go away.
Would you like Microsoft Word to save its documents in a format other than Word 97? Just modify this key to indicate the format that you want, and it automatically saves any new document to the chosen format. It also prompts you if you try saving your document in a different format than you specified via this key. Specify one of the following values for this key. Note that <blank> means you must leave the field blank.
This value sets the text that the Assistant displays when you have Default Save set to something other than Word 97 and you use the “Save As” command under the File menu. If you want users to save their documents to a specific standard, you can type the string into this value.
If this value is enabled, which is the default setting, it turns on a warning message that appears whenever you open a document that might contain macro viruses — documents with macros, customized toolbars, menus, or shortcuts. Set this value to 0 to disable this feature.
This value controls the spelling checker in Word 97. Set this value to 0 to stop Word from checking your spelling while you are working on a document.
This value controls the grammar checker in Word 97. If you want to stop Word from checking your grammar while you are working on a document, set this value to 0.
This value enables or disables background saving, which lets Word save your document in the background while you keep working. Setting this value to 0 disables background saving.
This value enables or disables background printing, which lets you print documents in the background and continue working. Setting this value to 0 disables background printing.
By default, Microsoft Word tracks the total editing time for a given document. This statistic appears on the File/Properties dialog box under the Statistics tab. When this value is 0, which is the default, Word tracks total editing time; setting it to 1 turns off this feature.
If this value is set to 0, when Word starts up, Office Assistant gives you the options of learning what’s new in Word 97, learning about the Office Assistant, or starting Word. After you choose to start Word, Word 97 sets this to 1, thereby disabling this function. If you bypassed your other options the first time and want to learn about the new features in Word 97, set this value to 0.
With this feature turned on, Word changes the display as you move one of the scrollboxes; with it turned off, Word waits until you let go of the mouse button to update the screen. Set the value to 1, the default value, to turn on the feature; set it to 0 to turn it off. Note that this value affects only the scrollboxes, not any of the other scrolling controls. Turning off this function can be very useful if you have a slow video card.
This value turns on the AutoFormat feature for plain-text WordMail messages when you open them. This value affects only WordMail messages; it does not affect pasted text or other text files. Set the value to 1 to turn on AutoFormat; set it to 0 to turn off AutoFormat.
This value specifies the custom dictionary where the spelling checker adds words; the number corresponds to the number in the custom dictionary list. Find this list by going to the Spelling tab, clicking Options, and choosing Custom Dictionaries.
This value tells Microsoft Word to use WordPerfect commands along with its own. Setting this value to 0 disables this feature; setting it to 1 turns on this feature.
This value specifies the default extension added to document filenames; the default value is .doc. To use a different filename extension, change the value of this key to your preferred extension (you’re not limited to three letters). Don’t forget the leading period.
This value sets the default extension added to Word template filenames; the default value is .dot. To use a different filename extension, change the value of this key to your preferred extension (you’re not limited to three letters). Don’t forget the leading period.
If you choose, Word saves a previous version of a document as a backup copy every time you save a document; the default filename extension Word assigns is .bak. To change the extension, change the value of this key to your preferred extension (you’re not limited to three letters). Don’t forget the leading period.
This value sets the path to the Microsoft Word executable (Winword.exe) program. Other programs use this path to locate the Word executable and install ancillary programs Word uses.
This value sets the default storage location and search path for documents that you create or use in Microsoft Word 97. This value overrides the value set in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ex plorer\User Shell Folders\Personal.
This value determines where Word stores documents, templates, and other items that you create in Word; it’s also where Word looks for its AutoRecover files. Setting this value can be very useful if your system crashes while you are working on a document. If you don’t set this value, which is the default setting, Word stores these files in your Temp folder. If your system has become unusable but you can still access the files, save them in this directory, then set up a new system and restore your files into to the directory you specify in this value. When you start Word, it AutoRecovers your documents.
This value sets where Microsoft Word looks for pictures, such as clipart, when you select Insert/Pictures/From File. You may want to change this value to point to a common folder for your image files.
This value specifies the object class name for the picture editor Word uses.
This value specifies where Microsoft Word looks for tools (such as dictionaries).
This value sets the Startup folder Word and any Word add-on products use.

Add the following key:
Next, add these five values:
You must change the values in both Autojournaled and Enabled for this change to take effect. A value of 1 turns on this feature; a value of 0 turns it off. IV-72 You can do the same thing for Microsoft Access. Repeat the procedure but substitute Microsoft Access for the initial Key value and the Description value, as below:
Add the following key:
Don’t forget to add the three other values listed under Microsoft Word, above; their values don’t change. As with Word, you must change the values in both Autojournaled and Enabled for this change to take effect. A value of 1 turns on this feature; a value of 0 turns it off.
This value sets Word’s AutoCorrect (ACL) file. When you start up Word for the first time, it copies this value from the Mso97.acl file. To set up your own AutoCorrect file and have everyone use it, run Microsoft Word and add entries to the AutoCorrect list with the AutoCorrect command located under the Tools menu. Then exit Word and copy your AutoCorrect file over Mso97.acl or over the specific users’ <username>.ACL file. You could also create a common file and point the users’ AutoCorrect registry key to your common file.
This value sets the maximum size, in K, of bitmap caching used for graphics. Increase this value for better graphics performance. The default cache size is 1,024K. |
