Mac Forum / Applications / Word / December 2007User Information Not Saving without Entourage
I've installed Office on a couple of systems without Entourage, as the installs were meant for document editing, not personal information management. However, information entered into User Information (for change tracking, for instance) isn't being stored. The fields are empty after I close and reopen preferences. Do I really have to install Entourage and set up identities for Word to be aware of basic user info, or us this a bug that I'm misinterpreting and can be dealt with differently? The user information *is* saved as the Me contact in Entourage, and Word and Entourage are pretty tightly integrated, so it is better to install them both. But I would expect there's a fallback method too. Perhaps something is interfering with that method. Are other preferences being saved? What information gets used when you actually track some changes on one of these systems? Can you see if the same problem occurs when you set up a fresh clean identity on one of the problem computers? > I've installed Office on a couple of systems without Entourage, as the > installs were meant for document editing, not personal information [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > to be aware of basic user info, or us this a bug that I'm > misinterpreting and can be dealt with differently? Check that you have not enabled Word>Preferences>Remove personal information from this file on Save. If you have, it DOES remove this information every time you save :-) Cheers On 27/12/07 3:06 PM, in article 56eae136-561c-4acd-a125-827b4e0a8fdd@s12g2000prg.googlegroups.com, "Sidney SM" <SidneySM@gmail.com> wrote: > I've installed Office on a couple of systems without Entourage, as the > installs were meant for document editing, not personal information [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > to be aware of basic user info, or us this a bug that I'm > misinterpreting and can be dealt with differently?
