I agree, Microsoft are just trying to screw people over and there’s no two ways about it really. CTR is a sub-par business product and yes, this is with Office 2013 home and business, if you want to argue its not for business Id argue why is it in the title.

I’m not saying it can’t be done but I’d prefer to have an easy customization wizard like thick office has. Just seems like I’m taking a huge step backwards.

I work for an organization that has 400 owners. We default everything the way we think it should be but different people like things different ways so we allow them to change settings as they see fit.

In the legal industry we heavily customize office to fit our needs. Word is probably the most important application to our business. I’ve learned that there is no customization tool for CTR like there is with the old thick installer for office. My MS rep tells me I have no choice but to use the CTR installer because that’s what we are licensed for. He went to the Office product team and they let him know in no uncertain terms that they have no intention of giving the same customization ability to ctr that exists in thick installer versions of office. I’m being told that I’ll have to modify reg keys to customize office. Frankly that stinks! ________________________________ John Marcum MCITP, MCTS, MCSA Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP ________________________________ [H_Logo] ________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail is from a law firm and may be protected by the attorney-client or work product privileges.
