Re: Opening '97 Binder Files in XP

Hi Nancy,
The program needed to open the image file in the binder should be the Kodak
imager. If it is installed in your computer you will need to reassociate the
..tiff and .tif to it. If not, you can follow the link to an install program
that runs a batch file that will install it for you.

Just follow the instructions. You may need to edit the batch file to point
to your CD-rom as it defaults to the D drive. You also will need to own a
copy of Windows 2000. The other problem I have run into is while a computer
running Windows 2000 can open and input the image file into a binder, XP can
only read the image file already placed in a binder. I have not had any
success using an XP computer in putting an image file in a binder.

steps uninstalling everything Office 2003 (although the task bar still has a
"Reinstall MS Office and MS Works" icon. I had the base Office '97,
downloaded and installed update SR1 and then SR2b. The programs all work
fine - I have the ability to insert a scanned picture into a Word doc on my
old (working) PC, but the option to direct scan isn't there under "Insert
Picture." However, I got the scanner long after I installed word. Binder
scans directly from my Epson on the old system by selecting the "Image Doc"
icon so apparently it added wen I installed the scanner.
My only problem seems to be that the option in Binder to add an "Image Doc"
does not appear ...
1. Should I remove my scanner and software?
2. Then uninstall Office '97, reinstall it and the service packs?
3. Should I reconnect and reinstall my scanner before or after I load
Office '97?
4. System is pre-loadedwith MS Works and Outlook. Should I uninstall all
the MS applications (any specifically?) that were preloaded on the system,
along with the Office 2003 stuff, before doing anything with '97??
The unbind feature doesn't work for image files from a scanner.
Thanks for any additional help you can give me. I would ABSOLUTEY DIE for
the good old DOS days .... :-)

Hi Nancy,
Are you using Norton Security/Antivirus on your computer? If so, in the settings you may need to turn off the 'script blocking'
setting to use MS Office Binder 97. It's also possible that a security update for Windows or a setting for Internet Explorer may be
interfering. (Office 97 hasn't, due to its age, been run through formal testing on Windows XP Media Center Edition) and Binder,
discontinued after Office 2000 is 'use as is' at this point. It doesn't always behave well in newer Windows versions. MS ships
(and has available for download) an 'unbind' utility that pulls the various documents in a binder out back into files for their
original Office apps. As you noted there are a lot listings for 'new' sections of file types that Binder doesn't really handle as
well as ones that it does. The scanner choice is dependent on what your scanner software installs as well. Do you have, in Word
97, for example a choice to scan a document?
For MS Office 97 there were three separate releases of that product line, the original, then Office 97 SR1 and then Office 97 SR2.
A release would mean that MS actually changed the CD that would ship with new product after a certain date. A Service Release would
normally incorporate earlier fixes in the SR.
If the front of your CD for Office 97 says "SR1" on it, then you would start your updates with the SR2 download update. If it does
not say SR1 on it then you need to first, be sure that your Office 97 apps are running properly and that the Office 2003 listing is
no longer in Add/Remove Programs in the windows control panel.
Once you have Office 97 working correctly then you would apply the SR1 update, restart the PC, check that everything is working
correctly again, then apply SR2 (SR2b is the same thing), then apply the later updates for both Office97 and the individual apps
that are available through http://office.microsoft.com/downloads

When you say "then install Office 97 updates beginning with SR-2b", do I
ignore all the updates dated prior to SR-2b - there are 6 or 7 earlier fixes
- and only use updates SR-2b and later? Or do I download all of them? Don't
you just love us "novices?" Thanks for all your help. I'm never upgrading
again :-)
