Macros for Microsoft Office/Word 2007

[preachertom]

I'm trying out Word/Office 2007 and it is a drastically different interface from the traditional Word layout.  Is the macro function (copy/paste) supported in Office 2007 as of yet?  If so, how in the world do I access it?

We don't have a copy of Word/Office 2007.  So I cannot give you a real answer to your question.

If there is a "Tools" menu option, then I would click on that an then go to "Macros" if there is such a selection.  Under "Macros" there may be a "Security" option.  You will need to set the Security at a lower level than "High".

Then use our shortcut (Start > All Programs > PC Study Bible 4 (or 5) > Install Copy Macros for Word) to lauch the macros template.  Then double-click on the "Install" button in the document that is opened (if Word asks if you want to "Enable Macros", tell it YES).

Let us all know what you find out.

I think I found the solution.  Open your Word 2007 progam.  Hit the round button in the far upper left hand corner.  (This is called the Office Button on our program)

On the box that opens up, go to the bottom bar and hit the button labelled Word Options.

Choose Trust Center from the left hand column, then hit the Trust Center Settings... button on the right lower side.

Choose Macro settings from the left hand column and note the current setting so you can return to it when you are done.  Then choose the Enable all macros setting and hit OK.

You're now set to install the macros:

Choose START > All Programs > PC Study Bible 4 > Install copy macros (v4)for Microsoft Windows.

This should open the page in the MS Word program.  Hit the INSTALL button.  Should get a box verifying installation.

Now to get the buttons to show up on the Quick Access Toolbar:

Hit the down arrow on the right side of the Quick Access Toolbar and choose More Commands...

Under Choose Commands From, pick Macros.  Your PCSB options should show up.  Pick the ones you want and hit OK.  They should show up on the toolbar.  Only problem is, they all have the same silly symbol.  

Reset your disable macro setting in the trust center to the original setting and try it out.  Hope this helps.

Axel,

Thanks so much for your help.  Since my last post, I've installed Word 2007 and I must admit that I HATE IT.  But then, I still like DOS and Lotus, so what is my opinion worth???  

Everyone should take note that if you receive a 429 error when using the Get Scripture macro, you should disable U.A.C. and re-install the macros.  This may clear up the problem.  Some have found that they can then enable U.A.C. and still be free of that error.  Others have found that you can't ever turn U.A.C. on and have PCSB and Word macros talk in a friendly manner.

Oooooh!!!!  I'm liking what I'm reading!!!!  Let the MS bashing begin!!!!  

One question -- for those of us who have not upgraded to the Vista Virus, what do you mean by U.A.C.?

Thanks, David

David,

U.A.C. is User Account Controls.  The following is a quote from Microsoft:

"User Account Control (UAC) is a new security component in Windows Vista. UAC enables users to perform common tasks as non-administrators, called standard users in Windows Vista, and as administrators without having to switch users, log off, or use Run As. A standard user account is synonymous with a user account in Windows XP. User accounts that are members of the local Administrators group will run most applications as a standard user. By separating user and administrator functions while enabling productivity, UAC is an important enhancement for Windows Vista.
"

If you watch TV, you may have seen the Apple ad where the PC guy and the Apple guy are trying to have a discussion.  There is a big tall guy standing over the PC guy's left shoulder.  Everytime either tries to talk, this big body-guard type guy asks the PC guy if he wants to allow the interaction to occur.  That is EXACTLY what UAC is like in VISTA.  It gives stupid prompts that slow down any process that you want to carry out.  That is why I have disabled UAC on my Vista system.  To me, the added "security" is not worth the interference.

Hi Kirt,

I am trying to help a friend with his PCSB4.3C on a Windows 7 laptop.

As I was reading over this thread, I saw the message about the "Run Time Error 429" in Vista.  Is the listed fix the same for Windows 7?  Because this is one of the issues that we ran into so far.

Also - a note:  I am not able to use the Preview button or the "Alt plus p" key combination to preview my post before I submit it.  Is this something with the Forum or is it my computer?

Thanks, David
