Jefferson,

Many thanks for that idea. Turning off collation does it for the single-sheet duplex situation, which is the one that was annoying me. For a multi-page document, however, it prints copies uncollated (as one would expect). Thanks for bailing me out again!

I know this was a while ago but I have a question on this list suppression thing. I’m using Outlook 2000 SP3 IMO but I cannot see how to achieve what you are suggesting. When I create a Group Name in my address book it permits me to name the group and to add contacts to the group but I don’t see how to differentiate between To: and Bcc: as you suggested in this post. Maybe I’m being thick here but I would appreciate it if you could elaborate.

Many thanks,

Thanks R2 for responding. Your diagnosis is interesting and the alternate link you gave does indeed solve the problem but I am out of my depth when you talk about reinstalling Windows Script. I have no idea how I would go about doing that. Can you direct me to this information or instruct me appropriately?

Thanks again

Hi Phil,

Thanks for responding, it’s good to know there’s someone out there.

I tried your suggestion but unfortunately nothing has changed. Enter the URL and Boom! IE ceases to exist.

Any other ideas?

Thank you Hans for your reply. No I am not on a network and am unlikely to be affected by this. However, a part of me wants to patch up-to-date any software that is on my system. MDAC is there on account of Office 2000, I believe. Call me pedantic .

Would there be any adverse consequence to, say, installing MDAC 2.5 SP3 which should be close to the 2.50 version I have? If it’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth I’ll leave it alone, but if it is plain sailing then it is a loose end tidied. I feel that if I move to a much later version then I may be moving away from compatibility with Win98SE and Office 2000.

Thanks to jscher2000 (as always) and kaplinb for these succinct replies. It is good to know that I can repair to my heart’s content without disrupting the patching process. Quite slick, really!

I recently had the same need and was able to find Office 2000 Premium on Ebay – paid $375 for it – but as DaveA warns, read carefully – there are OEM versions as well as full MS versions available. Good luck.

A follow up FYI:

I sent the following to the PT Pro support address:

“My requirement is about as basic as it gets. I have a stand-alone PC (1GHz
Dell) running Win98SE and IE6. I simply wish to uninstall MS Office 2000 SBE
(Word, Excel, Publisher, Outlook) and install MS Office 2000 Premium Edition
(same + Access, FrontPage, PowerPoint). How can your product help me and how
would the process work?”

They promptly replied as follows:

“You can use PT Pro to capture the persistent settings of MS Office 2000.
Simply install and run PT Pro. Select the applications associated with MS
Office that you want the settings and files to be “extracted”. After making
your selection, perform an extraction of the “personality”. You can then
uninstall MS Office 2000 SBE and install MS Office 2000 Premium Edition.
Following the installation of Office, run PT Pro again and inject the
personality.

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.”

Sounds encouraging, for $39.95 it might be worth a try. Thanks again for the pointer.

Thanks again. I looked at that and I have checked out the PT Pro site and sent off a couple of questions. I will let you know how I get on if I do anything on this front.

Thanks, that probably explains it.

Thanks, Howard, that seems the safest way to go. I am curious about you singling out Publisher – on my system it is not listed as a separate Remove Program option so I presume it will go away when I uninstall SBE. I will read the installation instructions for Premium when I have it and see if it says anything about separating Publisher in any way.

Thanks again.
