Hi all,
Lurk-a-lot, don't post much, but good group here. This
isn't really a new-user question, but I can't find a
better location. If you think there is a better place,
feel free to point it out. Pretty sure I've seen the
answer here before, but cannot find it now.
Long story short, I am trying to install Word97 in
WinXP Pro SP2+ machine.
I have:
-- Removed Office 2002
-- Shut Down & Restarted
-- Installed Word97 from the original CD, with HTML
Authoring ticked.
-- Everything copies to the hard drive, but when it
goes to update the Registry, I get the message:
"htmlmarq.ocx is unable to register itself in the
system registry. "
I can run winword.exe and create/Save html files OK as
long as they are simple text files.
Functionally, I can use Insert, Picture OK, and the
picture inserts and behaves as expected.
But when I click Save, I get the message "Unable to
Load Graphics Conversion Filter" which correlates to
the htmlmarq.ocx registry error.
I'm sure the fix was simple, but darned if I can find
it now!
I hope someone can give me an assist?
Oh, I'm also adding "97" the the folder names at each
opportunity, just to make it easy to find after Office
2002 goes back on.
----------------------------
Why bother with word97? Well, I've tried to live with
2002's code bloat and xml long enough; no filter I've
ever found will actually get out all the xml and extra
crap.
I've tried Open Office, which isn't bad, but it
occasionally screws up the wysiwyg, expecially with
tables and Word 2k2's xml pages. They look OK in
Mozilla and IE, but the editor screen is so messed up
you can't tell for sure what you're going to end up
with. And doing revisions is a royal pain.
Tried Composer; too simple, not enough feature set.
And so on. So finally I decided tonight to go back
to Word97; it writes decent, clean code and if I need
the fancy stuff I have other means to do it. And then
I ran into the installation problem with htmlmarq. I
used to run 97 and 2000 together on win98, but this is
the first time I've tried to put 97 onto this XP
machine.
Something in the back of my head tells me there was
an SP2 fix that caused the install problem, but I
cannot find any data to get Word 97 to install
completely.
Any assistance / advice would be most appreciated.
TIA,
Pop
