Microsoft Office Installation

Installation:

When installing Microsoft Office, you are given three installation choices:

		1.  Custom/Complete
  		2.  Typical
		3.  Minimal

To ensure that all of Microsoft Offices' features are installed, select the Custom/Complete installation. Next, the install program will offer you a menu of installation options. By default, all of the choices will be selected, so simply accept the default choices and continue. This will install all of the "bells and whistles" that Office has to offer.



After the Installation:

There a few things that must be done after the installation is finished.

MS Word Anti-Virus:

To help combat the Microsoft Word Concept virus, a set of anti-virus macros must be added to the NORMAL template for Word. The NORMAL template is template upon which all Word documents and all other Word templates are based. By adding the anti-virus macros to the NORMAL template, all new documents will be protected from the concept virus and if an infected document is opened, the user will be warned and given the option of cleaning the file (see Microsoft Word Anti-virus Instructions).



MS Word Tools Path:

In order for Word's Spell Checker, Thesaurus, Grammar Checker, etc. to function properly, a path-setting macro must be added to the NORMAL template.



MS WORD NORMAL Template Macros:

To ease with the completion of the above changes to the NORMAL template, there is a template available which already has all of the Anti-virus and Path-setting macros installed. This NORMAL template is available on the CLC4 volume in a folder called "MS Word Template with ScanProt". Inside that folder, you will find the NORMAL template, Anti-Virus Instructions, and a Test File Folder.



To install the new NORMAL Template:

Step 1: Copy the template from the CLC4 volume to the machine that you are installing it on.

Step 2: Place the Template in the Microsoft Word sub-folder in the Microsoft Office folder.

Step 3: Open Microsoft Word. You will get an error saying that the path was not found. Click OK and continue.

Step 4: Select "Macro..." from the "Tools" menu.

Step 5: Highlight "AutoExec" in the list of macros and click the "Edit" button.

Step 6: Highlight the name of the hard drive. By default, the hard drive name will be "Help Desk". This must be modified to fit the name of the hard drive on the machine that you installing the template on.

Step 7: To test the new template, exit Word and open it again. If the Path not found error goes away, then the AutoExec macro is working correctly.

Step 8: There is an infected Word file in the "Test File Folder" in the folder that you copied the NORMAL template from. To test the anti-virus macros, copy the infected document to the machine that you are testing and follow the Anti-Virus Instructions (also found in that folder on the CLC4 volume) to remove the virus from the copy of the infected file.

Step 9: Once the template has been setup and tested, make a copy of the template and save it in the "Templates" sub-folder in the Microsoft Word folder. Replace the template that already exists in that location with the new NORMAL template. You must have a copy of the template in the "Templates" folder and a copy in the Microsoft Word Folder.




MS PowerPoint Clip Art

To make clip art available to be inserted into Microsoft Office documents, you must first setup the Clip Art Gallery. To do this follow the following steps:

Step 1:Open Microsoft PowerPoint. Begin with a blank template

Step 2:Select "Clip Art" from the "Insert" menu.

Step 3:You will then be asked if you wan to add clip art to the clip art gallery. Click on "Yes". PowerPoint will then add all available clip art to the clip art gallery.

Step 4:Test the clip art gallery by inserting any of the clip art images into a blank document. If the setup is successful, the clip art in the clip art gallery will be availabel during all future PowerPoint Sessions.
