2007 Photo Calendar in Word 2003 Version

[Guest]

I would like a copy of a 2007 Photo Calendar created in Word 2003 version.
It must be a document rather than a template as my Company policy restricts
executable files from being downloaded.

Can someone please help.

Many thanks.

Cheers
Karyne

A template is not an "executable" file. Moreover, the "templates" you
download from the Template Gallery are actually just documents.

Thanks Suzanne but even though I know that it's not an executable file the
Company system text below indicates otherwise and I still cannot download any
of the templates.

Find someone who has Word 2007. Ask them to download that file for you then
save it as a Word 2003 file and email it to you.

That would probably be the javascript or whatever it is that opens the
document in a new instance of Word on your computer. I find this very
annoying and a stupid technique. Having previewed the file, I don't need to
open it in Word to see whether I want it or not; just give me a standard
download dialog!

If you can access the site from home or elsewhere, you can save the
"template" there and take it to work (if your company allows you to bring
files from home). Or you could email it to yourself at work (if your company
allows you to receive attachments).

Hi Kaygee,

I've done that. You can download the document in 2003 format from
http://jay-freedman.info/2007_calendar.doc. Note that I may remove the
file from the site at any time.

The reason you got a nasty message about an executable is that
Microsoft has added a new wrinkle to the existing misery of
downloading templates from the site. If the template is specifically
for Office 2007, the download button first sends an ActiveX control to
verify that you have Office 2007 on the machine; that's what triggered
the policy error. Never mind that you might have Office 2007 on
another machine that you don't happen to be using at the moment -- no
Office 2007, no download.

Once you get past that hurdle, there's no particular reason the
template had to be Office 2007 specific. The titles under the photos
are "content controls", which are new in 2007, but saving the file in
2003 format just changes them to plain text.

Hi Jay,

Welllll, the information on 'no Office 2007, no download' isn't quite correct

If Office 2007 isn't found the http://office.microsoft.com/templates download site usually takes you to a page where you can
download the template manually as a .cab file, but if you access via an armored system, if, as part of blocking the ActiveX control
it diverts someone to an error/restriction page of its own, that might prevent a user from seeing that 2nd download choice.

However, once you have the download the MS Office converter pack installed on a system that does not have Office 2007 won't open a
..dotx or .dotm file when you extract it from the .cab file, so you'd have the file but not necessarily be able to use it.

FWIW, the restriction of some Office Online content availability, tied to having a license to a specific Office version isn't new to
the 2007 Office products. I suspect that in many companies the concern for honoring license restrictions by not allowing
non-licensed content in could be on the same level as restricting active content downloads

Hi Bob,

You're right, I revisited the page and see that the template could be
downloaded as a .cab file. The first time, I didn't bother to scroll down
beyond the offer to run the trial version of Office 2007.

I'm pretty sure Kaygee's policy problem would prevent getting the template,
even if she had Office 2007, because of the ActiveX control. I think that in
today's (in-)security situation, it's stupid to make something as
insignificant as a template download depend on allowing ActiveX controls to
execute.
