Windows 10: Permanently disable Office Word 2007 F8 extended mode

I have Office 2007 on my laptop that runs Windows 10 Home V 22H2. In Word I want to use t he F8 key to select similar formatting the same as I do on my PC. Does anyone know if there is a way to permanently disable the Extended Mode function of the F8 key on my laptop?

Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

This is my list of installed Office 2007 updates [Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates]



- I have installed Office 2007 Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Access.
- If you have installed other Office 2007 components you will find others shown in your own list of installed updates [once you are fully up to date].

I suggest saving copies of each one now in case they are ever removed from the MS update catalog downloads lists.
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...?q=Office+2007
- Just download the updates shown in your own list of installed updates rather than the whole list provided by the MS update catalog because the catalog includes ones that were subsequently superceded by others.
- SP3, which was a major update that established a new beginning for Office 2007 and upon which all further updates were based, is also described in Description of the 2007 Office suite SP3 and of Office Language Pack 2007 SP3 - Microsoft Support and the article also provides a download link for it
- If I reinstall Office, I work through the updates list in KB numerical order starting with SP3

End of extended support for Office 2007 on October 10, 2017 Office

Assuming you have an older Office version such as my MSOffice 2007 [because current Office versions do not seem to work in the same way]:-

Step 1 - Run this Powershell PS1 file to create a list on your Desktop
Code:

It is based on code posted by 1981DMC in getting list of installed Office packages - SpiceWorks
I have not tested this with any Desktop paths containing special characters such as ampersands [&].

Step 2 - Open the list in Excel, freeze the top row, add AutoFilter to the top row so you can filter by blanks in the HelpLink column and delete those rows [those rows are not updates]. Save the file as an Excel file.

Step 3 - What you are left with are Office updates. There are a few repetitions in the list, because Windows records some of them twice, so use AutoFilter to sort them into DisplayName alphabetical order so you can spot and delete many of the repetitions. Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates also repeats some entries.

Step 4 - Use normal Excel text manipulation functions to extract KB numbers into a column of their own. The HelpLink column is probably the easiest one to work with.

Step 5 - You could then be cautious and check against the list in the Office 'group' of Control panel, Programs & features, View installed updates to check for additional entries to add to OfficeUpdatesList.xlsx. I have just done so and the list produced in Step 1 matched completely [once you decide that repetitions in either list do not matter].

I have no idea if this procedure applies to later versions of MSOffice. I only have MSOffice 2007.


All the best,
Denis

 

Open office VS Word 2007

So from what I read here Open Office is a pure piece of shit !!!

Look just an example: One line is fine but the other line just after have 1/4 inch spacing between the words for absolutly no reason.

The format was the same for both lines in Word 2007.

Anyway I will have to reinstall Word 2007 on that slow computer.
