Migrating Office X files to Windows SBS 2k3
I have a situation with migrating some older Office X files to a new Windows Small-Biz Server 2003 environment. It seems that the person I am working with did not use the "Append file extensions" option when saving his Office X files on his Mac server (10.2.8). So now I have a situation where I need to move these extension-less files over to the Windows server but they will lose thier file associations. Is there anyway to save this extension "metadata" to convert these files on the Windows side? I have about 20GB of data to migrate and manually opening each file with "open with" really is not an option.

I would be surprised if that mattered. Windows Word doesn't care about file extensions, and neither does Windows XP. The file type and creator code are still buried in the file header (in the first 500 bytes). That's what both Windows and Word will use to determine what the file is. So while they will have blank icons, they should open in any correctly-configured copy of Office, on either Windows or Mac clients.

Business Analyst, Consultant > Technical Writer. > Sydney, Australia +61 (0) 4 1209 1410 Just to add... As John has said...I have tried if you COPY Mac Word- document without extension on PC (in my case XP pro and office2003) then the file opens in word automatically. If I just CONNECT from that PC to my Mac Desktop to open Word-document without extension, the PC asks me which Application I want to opent that file. You can on file properties on Windows say - always use this application to open this kind of files. (Note: it's disabled in the latter case described above because the file is not owned by Windows)
litttle.creature.incHi Little_Creature: OK, that's not the case between Word 2003/Word 2007 and the Mac here :-) I don't know why it's doing it for you. On my system, I can open/edit from one to the other in either direction. I'll have to check and see if I can produce the problem you're noticing. Maybe I already registered the Mac File Type and Creator codes on the PC years back and I have forgotten...

Office does not play nice with Spaces

When creating mailing labels I am unable to print. I can preview page layout under data merge manager and print the page. But when I complete the merge to new document and then print it seems to be sending somewhere other than my printer. This merge file was created in word 98. I recreated in v.x and it still does not print the labels. Could it have something to do with entrouge. Help please!!!! I am new to OSx I just upgraded from 0S 8, I know behind the times. Thanks, Signal Hi When you use File > Print you can select which printer (if you have more than one) from the dialo...
Office Home/Student 2007 Dutch version use in English
We live in Holland and have just purchased Microsoft Office 2007 Home/Student from a local computer store. I am English and my partner Dutch, but she prefers to work in English. The Office version we have bought is only in Dutch- is there some way, without having to return it and buy another version, that we can use it with English as the user language? Many thanks, J ...
Windows Classes #2
Hi everybody, Using Spy++ I noticed that some buttons and controls in an application are not window(they don't appear in the list). For example open an Internet Explorer window and go to "www.google.com", and then refresh the Spy++ window list. The two search buttons do not appear in the list. I don't think IE paints these buttons (like simulating what a button does), but they are not windows either, so what are they? Yours, Kourosh.

Delete large table in chunks to minimise log file growth
Helo All, I am deleting a large table in chunks to: 1) Avoid locking issues 2) Restrict log file growth Algorithm init_size = current size of transaction log while TRUE delete X records matching criteria current_size = current size of log If no records deleted then exit while if current_size - init_size > Y MB shrink log file end while I tried it with X = 200 and Y = 50. In practice, I would not try to restrict log growth to 50 MB. I just needed to see what was going on. I shrink the log file using the procedure at http://blo...
Exch 5.5 to 2003 ADMT \ ADC migration order question
Hi guys. I've been reading posts and performing tests in the run up to a Exchange 5.5 to 2003 intra-org migration. In everyone's opinion, which is the best order -> ADC (not enabled) -> ADMT to create new AD account (run in batches) -> ADClean to marry disabled place holder and new account (run in batches) -> movemailbox ( in batches as part of rolling migration) The above seems to have issues with no self rights so if you remove SIDhistory after the migration is done, wont the systems permission go bang as it's masking the lack of self rights? OR....... -&g...
