1. Click Start, click Run, type Fonts, and then click OK.
2. Click Install New Font in the File menu.

Error message when you try to import or to export files in Outlook: "Microsoft Outlook cannot start the required translator"

SYMPTOMS
When you try to import or to export files in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, you receive the following message:
Microsoft Office Outlook cannot start the required translator. This feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it now?
Additionally, when you insert the Outlook 2003 CD-ROM or the Office 2003 CD-ROM, you may receive the following error message:

Error 1311. Source file not found C:/MSOCACHE/All Users

When you try to import or to export files in the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you may receive one of the following error messages:
Error 1334. The file '.SAM_1033' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'OutlkLR.CAB'. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
The file ‘C:\MSOCache\All Users\{}\’ is not a valid installation package for the product () 2007. Try to find the installation package ‘OutlookMUI.msi’ in a folder from which you can install MUI () 2007.
Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions to this problem, see C:\DOCUME~1\\LOCALS~1\Temp\Setup0000043c\SETUP.CHM.


CAUSE
This issue occurs if certain translator files or certain database converters are not available because they were not installed during Setup. Converters in Outlook are installed on demand. Additionally, the local install source folder (Msocache) may be damaged or missing.

This issue also applies to third-party personal information management (PIM) files and to file types that use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for the version of Outlook that you are running.

Outlook 2003
Click Yes when you receive the message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section of this article. After you click Yes, Microsoft Windows Installer starts and then installs the database converters and translator files for the file that you want to import or to export.

If this resolution does not resolve the issue, run the Microsoft Office Setup program and install the filters directly. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Exit Outlook 2003.
2. Remove the Msocache folder. For more information about how to remove the Msocache folder, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
825933 Local Install Source (Msocache)
3. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
4. Click Add or Remove Programs.
5. In the Currently installed programs list, click Microsoft Office 2003, and then click Change.
6. In the Microsoft Office 2003 Setup dialog box, click Add or Remove Features under the Maintenance Mode Options area, and then click Next.
7. Under the Custom Setup area, click to select the Choose advanced customization of applications check box, and then click Next.
8. Under the Choose update options for applications and tools area, expand Microsoft Office Outlook.
9. Click the down arrow next to Importers and Exporters, and then click either the Run from My Computer option or the Run all from My Computer option.
10. In the Microsoft Office 2003 Setup dialog box, click Update.


Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
Insert the CD or DVD media when you are prompted. If you installed Outlook 2007 from a network share, make sure that the share is accessible from your workstation.

After you provide the setup files, the setup process will complete successfully. Additionally, any missing or corrupted files in the \MSOCache folder will be replaced.

If the same error occurs in the future, delete the \MSOCache folder, and then run the Online Microsoft Outlook setup 2007 process again. When run Setup again, make sure that you select the Repair option in the Change your installation window.

mail Word 2007 Document For Reviews and Tracking Changes

Emailing a Word 2007 document to another user for review, meaning any changes they make it will track those changes in Word 2007, is a snap!

Getting it setup takes a few more steps than previous version of Word 2000, Word XP (2002) and Word 2003. Because in those versions it was a simple: File>Send To>Mail Recipient (For Review), and then click the Send (b) to email it off.

Stop bloviating and tell me where to do the same with Word 2007 you opine! Fine. But let me warn you that writing more than steps is not only therapeutic for me when it comes to blogging, but downright fun!

Email Word 2007 Document For Review and Tracking Changes Steps. First you have to add the Send For Review (b) to you QAT (Quick Access Toolbar). Yeah! I know there’s not another easier way I know of. So Right /QAT toolbar>Customize, /Choose commands arrow>All, scroll to & //Send for Review, /ok. Now on your QAT toolbar /Send for Review (b) and it will do two things: first attach your Word 2007 document into an email, and also it turns on the Track Changes (b) on the Review tab. Now just type in an email address and /Send (b) to email your document off to one of your Super Friends!

Once Wonder Woman (one of your Super Friends) opens the attachment and makes any changes to the document, it will track it i.e. if she deletes a word it will put a red line through it, and if she adds text it will color it in green. So when she’s done all she has to do email those changes back to you where you can, with the help of Reviewing tab, accept or reject her changes i.e. removing the red lines for deletions, or removing her added text.

You know you can just as easily open Word 2007, /Review tab & /the Track Changes (b) and turn on the changes yourself and the /Word’s Office Logo (b)>Send and email without having to add the Send For Review (b) to your QAT toolbar.

Having said that I bet you’re thinking: I wouldn’t choose Wonder Woman as a Super Friend with only a magic lasso to protect me, and second anybody can turn off the “Track Changes” feature and then I couldn’t protect my document from unwanted, trackable changes!

Yes, you’re right and so the only way to “protect” someone from messing with your document without being trackable, or seeing their changes is to follow these steps: /Developer tab>Protect group & /Protect Document (b)>Restrict Formatting and Editing, in Task Pane’s Editing restrictions section check “Allow only this…” box and /its arrow>Tracked changes & /Yes, Start Enforcing Protection (b) and type in your password.

Now that’s protection! Okay, having password protection on a document is like having a Super Friend like Superman protecting you. Invincible he is until some krptonite is found - iyogi computer help services breaks the password, but better than nothing eh?
