so i had word and excel installed as i needed them for a work thing and all was ok
today i needed to install outlook for a work thing and all *seemed* to go ok except it keeps saying "completing installation" and then "enter product key" every time i start it or it finishes the previous cycle mentioned above
i can find no way to get it to actually work
is this me joining the graussians or is it a known issue?
thnx

try uninstalling everything (office related, of course), then reinstalling word, excel and outlook together.

If you have got Word installed, any chance of you using its features to ensure that you use sentences and capital letters. I know CAPITAL LETTERS is SHOUTING, but for some of us, it's nice to see the personal pronoun with a capital letter and sentences that start with a capital (and end with a full stop).
Thank you.

While I agree with you, I think she accomplishes your requirements (except for personal pronouns) by having blank lines between the individual sentences. I know that's usually reserved for paragraphs.

Lost your bet! It's a philosophy, is it - tell us more.

Did you happen to install Office 2010 Student / Teacher edition? If yes, Outlook is not part of that suite and needs a separate key. One of our guys here, bought the Student / Teacher of Office 2010 version, installed it and then tried to install Project 2010 using a company Action Pack key - wouldn't let him do it because "The retail license terms for Office Home and Student 2010 allow for installation on up to three home computers. Not intended for use in any commercial, nonprofit, or revenue generating business activities, or by any government organization". I suspect that Outlook is considered a business tool.

I had the same thing happen to me with Publisher.

Stop using the pirated one, and buy the damn thing...
[ / joke ends]
Looks like version conflict to me, try re-installing it (I mean first uninstall everything related to ms office.)
|
|
|
|

i wouldn't bother pirating any MS products as i can get them for cheap enough and i don't actually believe in pirating stuff anyways ... i use open source mostly
this was the student version which i didn't realize until it was mentioned above

Nah - Sunderland is at least on the coast so you could drown yourself easily.

So they are going build old and new buildings. How is that possible? Perhaps they should use a better description.

They're new old buildings, or nouveau-retro or some such nonsense.
200 million to build a new better town for no one. The only advantage I could see is you don't have to worry about the neighbors getting along.

The ultimate advantage is that there would be no end user to screw up your applications...

That's true, bugs (or as I prefer "unintended features") aren't a problem unless there's a user to complain about them.

Sounds like a giant white elephant to me that exists for no other reason than marketing purposes. I mean what in the world can't you test either in a real city or more accurately in a lab? Besides which why build something that is supposed to be all about green energy in such a place with such an unusual climate? Detroit is full of dead zones and would benefit greatly from this kind of project and more importantly it's a realistic climate for testing green energy and heating and roads etc etc.
There is no failure only feedback

$200 million? Not if the government is involved.
