Office 2007 Sequencing Recipe

Hello,

I had a tough time sequencing office 2007 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939796) as i am new to sequencing and faced one issue that seemed difficult to solve. After launching Microsoft Word i got the following error

"2007 Microsoft Office System - Please wait while setup prepares the necessary files."
"Windows Installer - Preparing to Install"

I found a KB article which explained exactly what i need to do
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091

Here is an extract which i followed to eliminate the error
To bypass the auto-registration for Word 2007, follow these steps:

Exit Word 2007.
Start Registry Editor.
- In Windows Vista, click Start
  
  Collapse this imageExpand this image
  
  , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
  
  Collapse this imageExpand this image
  
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
- In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and then click to select the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options
After you select the subkey that is specified in step 3, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value.
Type NoReReg, and then press ENTER.
Right-click NoReReg, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

This solved the issue for me and i could successfully sequence the app

Cheers!

To change case (toggle between upper case, lower case and camel case), select the text and press Shift+F3 2. While editing documents, it is not uncommon to delete words, phrases, and the like. Different people take different approaches to the task.

A simple customization in MPOS (Blank Operation) with AX7

The way to implement Blank Operations in MPOS is different from Enterprise POS as MPOS is a modern app as compared to EPOS which is a windows forms based app. So lets explore a very simple customization i.e. we want to open a URL on triggering a button from MPOS. 1. We would need to start with AX to add a button to the layout of MPOS. If you do not want to disturb the standard layouts its better to copy one of the existing layouts and then modify it using the designer. Please note the designer only opens in Internet Explorer so it will save you time by not trying to open it in other browsers e.g Chrome 2. Next we need to add this layout to the Store where we intend to use it...
