Re: Returning from Beta to previous version of Office

Yes, uninstalling and reinstalling "usually" works but it can fail. Search
through the groups.google.com for assistance if you receive a MSMAPI32.dll
error.

If/when you find a feature working/not working as expected in the Office
2007 Beta release, please use the "send a smile" link to notify the Office
Beta team of your concern. Link is at the end of this message.
Include screenshots and comments to explain your concerns. Also, if you
wish, include your contact details if you don't mind being contacted by
Microsoft for follow-up. All "Smileys" are read and tracked by the beta
team to improve Office 2007 for usability and stability.

You can also send positive smileys as well as concerns.

| Hi. I waited until late in the game to try out the Beta of MS
| Office. It is the first time I've tried to be a beta user for such
| products and unfortunately, it is too buggy for me to use. I'm not
| complaining as I did this knowing it wasn't the final release, but
| still I thought I presumed the product was close enough to completion
| that I could use if for everyday work. Unfortunately, Outlook crashes
| all the time, and there have been many oter problems. A couple of
| questions: 1. How do I return to my previous versions? Do I just
| uninstall the beta and reinstall the older version? 2. I had over 10
| years of crafted macros and toolbars that all went missing when I
| installed the new version. (*Dear Microsoft, a warning that this
| would occur would have been nice.) If I reinstall my older version of
| Office, will it automatically detect my previous macros and toolbars,
| are they gone for good, or do I have to do something? Good luck to
| the development team. If they want specific feedback, please let me
| know. Bob
