Microsoft Office / Word

G_M

I have two related problems:

1) Each time I open Word with a User account, I get the message "do you want to make changes to this programme" and need to click 'yes' using administrator password. Word then opens.

2) When I save a document, the 'save as' location defaults into the administrator account.

How do I set up Office/Word so that it opens/saves from a user account without all this faffing about?

* Windows 7
* Office Starter 2010

Bumped as I'm still having to faff....

Which OS?

Control panel
User accounts
change user account settings to never notify

Thanks. - it's Windows 7 Home Premium.

Options in ctl panel/user accounts =
* change picture
* add/remove account
* change password
No account settings....

You wanna mess with UAC? Go ahead.

If this were a normal version of Office you'd be able to reinstall it and in doing so allow all users to make full use of it. Starter is apparently a little different.

It installs as a virtual application using Microsoft App-V application virtualization technology and can therefore co-exist with full editions of Office.

Have you considered using a different office suite? One that behaves nicely with multiple users? LibreOffice, for example?

I run Windows 7 on Vista premium and had exactly the same problem.
I unistalled Microsoft Office and downloaded Libre Office.:)
Problem solved.
