<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Máte prezentaci ve formátu .pptx, ale nemáte MS Office 2007? Nevadí. Existuje několik alternativních způsobů jak je otevřít, ale s úpravou těchto prezentací to bude horší.<!--more--></p>
<p>První možností je si do starší verze MS Office stáhnout <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&#38;DisplayLang=cs" target="_blank">kompatibilní balíček</a> nových formátů. Poté sice budete moci otevřít nové formáty ve starší verzích, ale můžou nastat problémy se zobrazením některých prvků. Proto je lepší druhý způsob. A to nainstalovat si prohlížeč <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=048dc840-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&#38;DisplayLang=cs" target="_blank">PowerPoint Viewer 2007</a>. V něm snadno otevřete prezentace i bez MS Office 2007. Pokud však budete chtít prezentaci upravit, nezbude vám jiná možnost než si novou verzi zakoupit nebo <a href="http://trial.trymicrosoftoffice.com/trialczech/default.aspx?re_ms=oo&#38;culture=cs-CZ" target="_blank">vyzkoušet</a> po dobu 60 dnů.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Наверняка все сталкивались с <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/default.mspx">Windows Search Service</a> он же <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/default.mspx">Windows Desktop Search (WDS)</a>. Те, кто не сталкивался – просто не знают, что он у них стоит <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Можно долго рассуждать про альтернативные системы персонального поиска, но, например, MS Outlook использует именно его, а если у вас Exchange – то без него вообще не обойтись. Когда внедрялся комплект из Exchange 2007 на сервере и Windows XP + Office 2007 на клиенте, то текущей версией WSD была 3-я версия. При этом, мы переносили папку индекса из Documents and Settings в другое место. Как показала практика, WDS 3 не очень хорошо относится к такому тюнингу <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Особенно если кто-то потом почистит папку от фалов.</p>
<p>После этого, Microsoft был выпущена следующая версия WDS 4.0, которой с помощью <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/wsus/default(en-us).aspx">WSUS</a> была заменена версия 3. К сожалению, не у всех эта операция прошла гладко, да и вообще, время от времени, у кого-нибудь из наших многочисленных пользователей возникали проблемы.</p>
<p>Проблемы обычно следующие:</p>
<ol>
<li>Поиск работает, но плохо. Т.е. результаты выводятся, но они неполные. </li>
<li>Поиск вообще не работает. </li>
<li>Outlook работает очень медленно </li>
</ol>
<p>В общем случае, они лечатся достаточно просто. В WDS идем в меню&#160; <em>Windows Search Options –&#62; Advanced </em>там <em>Restore Defaults, </em>если был изменен путь и <em>Rebuild</em>, если путь не менялся. После этого перезагрузка, после которой выполняется переиндексация и все в порядке.</p>
<p>Кроме того, в процессе решения проблем иногда выясняется, что WDS не обновился и имеет по-прежнему 3-ю версию, или самый тяжелый случай – сам сервис уже не запускается с ошибкой “service specific error”</p>
<p>Все это, сопровождается следующими ошибками в Event Log</p>
<p>Type:&#160;&#160;&#160; Warning    <br />Source:&#160;&#160;&#160; Windows Search Service     <br />Event ID:&#160;&#160;&#160; 1008     <br />Event Time:&#160;&#160;&#160; 25.11.2009 18:26:11     <br />User:&#160;&#160;&#160; n/a     <br />Computer:&#160;&#160;&#160; BG-ADMIN08     <br />Description:     <br />The Windows Search Service is attempting to remove the old catalog. </p>

Internal error &#60;1, 0&#215;80070003, (null)&#62;. </p>
<p>Type:&#160;&#160;&#160; Error    <br />Source:&#160;&#160;&#160; Service Control Manager     <br />Event ID:&#160;&#160;&#160; 7024     <br />Event Time:&#160;&#160;&#160; 25.11.2009 16:10:21     <br />User:&#160;&#160;&#160; n/a     <br />Computer:&#160;&#160;&#160; BG-ADMIN08     <br />Description:     <br />The Windows Search service terminated with service-specific error 2147749155 (0&#215;80040D23). </p>
<p>Итак, что следует сделать:</p>
<ol>
<li>Запускаю regedit и иду в ветку HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search.      <br />Там выставляю для ключа SetupCompletedSuccessfully значение 0. Если вдруг там этого ключа не окажется, то создаю его с типом REG_DWORD </li>
<li>Там же, в ключах DataDirectory и DefaultColumnFile смотрю пути, где служба будет искать свои файлы. </li>
<li>Если пути отличные от пути по умолчанию, т.е. (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Data\), то открываю и его, а при его отсутствии создаю все необходимые папки. </li>
<li>Теперь проверяю, чтобы в папке Data (или в папках Data, если путь не по умолчанию) проверяю наличие папок Applications, Temp и Config. Если какой-нибудь нету – создаю, не забыв дать на них полные права системе. </li>
<li>Теперь самое интересное, в папке Config должны лежать два файла gathrprm.txt и schema.txt. Если их нету, то беру с компьютера, на котором все работает. В моем случае подошли даже от версии 4.х. </li>
<li>Перезагружаю компьютер и сервис должен уже стартует. </li>
<li>Теперь обновляю WDS до версии 4. Чтобы это получилось вначале удаляю WDS 3 через ADD/Remove Programs. Теоретически, при установке WDS4 он сам удаляет старый, но у меня, он долго думал, после чего сообщил, что сделать этого он не может <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </li>
<li>После удаления старого WDS, перезагружаю компьютер, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/choose/windowssearch4.mspx?tab=Install%20It">качаю WDS4</a> и устанавливаю его. </li>
<li>Перезагружаю компьютер, меняю путь для данных на путь по умолчанию или, если он уже такой делаю переиндексацию. </li>
<li>Последняя перезагрузка и все в порядке! </li>
</ol>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not exactly sure when it happened, but at some point in the last decade, Microsoft&#8217;s]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m not exactly sure when it happened, but at some point in the last decade, Microsoft&#8217;s army of desktop applications conquered the PC world. Since then, the productivity suite that includes Word, PowerPoint, and Excel has been reigning over us with an iron fist. Does it have to be this way? No! Set me free!</p>
<p>Oh&#8230; wait&#8230; sorry about that. Where was I?</p>
<p>Ah, yes, I was talking about desktop publishing application alternatives. Well, it just so happens, there IS a very functional, very <strong><em>free </em></strong>alternative to MS Office available right now. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" target="_blank">OpenOffice</a>, and it&#8217;s an <a href="http://www.opensource.org/" target="_blank">open-source</a> suite of applications that offers much of the same functionality as MS Office. The suite offers Writer, Impress, Calc, Draw, and Base- which are tools for creating documents, presentations, spreadsheets, graphics and databases. Simply <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" target="_blank">visit their website</a>, download the file, and install it like any other application.</p>
<p>Other than &#8220;fighting the man,&#8221; though, why should you care about OpenOffice.org? Well, here are a few important reasons:<!--more--></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Save students $$</span> &#8212; </strong>Your students are probably required to create documents, presentations and spreadsheets for class assignments, but they may not have an extra $100  to drop on an educational version of MS Office. Sure, they can use the campus library&#8230; if they can find an open computer, and if the library hours fit into their schedule. But if the student has a computer at home, they can use OpenOffice.</li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Cross-platform</span></strong> &#8212; OpenOffice is available on all platforms, including Windows, Mac, and even Linux.</li>
<li><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>File versions and formats</strong></span> &#8212; As we know, Microsoft has a nasty habit of releasing new versions of their software that aren&#8217;t compatible with previous versions. If you&#8217;ve ever had a student email a file to you that you cannot open, you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about! This problem is often solved with OpenOffice, because it is very good at reading <em>and </em>saving as multiple file and version types.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you&#8217;ve used MS Office to any extent, you&#8217;ll have no trouble using OpeningOffice, since the principles and design interface are very similar. It may not appear quite as flashy and polished as MS Office, and you may notice some missing features, but the open source community has also done a lot of work to fix those little things about MS Office that didn&#8217;t work very well. And they&#8217;ve even added some cool new features along the way, like the added ability to create <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF_(Adobe)" target="_blank">PDF documents</a> directly from any of their applications!</p>
<p>Oh, and if you&#8217;re skeptical about its legitimacy, you can ask any of the previous 100,000,000 downloaders!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is not a How To so much as a how <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> to.  When you copy and paste drawings between MS Office applications, they travel with all their properties and editability.  Problem is, different applications behave in different ways.</p>
<p>Everyone knows about the time they spent 2 hours trying to make a lovely Powerpoint diagram look like not-garbage in the Word document that was already running late.</p>
<p><strong>How To:</strong></p>
<p>Always paste your Powerpoint diagrams etc into word as &#8220;Enhanced Metafiles&#8221;.</p>
<p>Edit &#62; Paste Special&#8230; &#62; Enhanced Metafile</p>
<p>This will mean they are not editable (who cares?) but are resizeable &#8211; including text.  They will look exactly the same as in the Powerpoint screen (yay!) but can be resized with no loss of definition and can be otherwise treated just like a static image.</p>
