READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
If you are using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it (but don't disable Norton AutoProtect). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
There's no official tech support with the beta.

The most important one being that Word 2007 Beta 2 files saved in the new file formats (extensions docx, docm, etc) might not open at all once B2TR has been installed.

PowerPoint files saved in B2 in the new file formats (extensions pptx, pptm, etc) seem to at least open, but seem to have issues with font size, text placement, and other minor issues. Before installing B2TR therefore, you should save all your files in the 97-2003 file formats. That means, save all your docx files as doc (Word), all your xslx files as xls (Excel) and all your pptx files as ppt (PowerPoint). There are a host of other issues you might encounter. I am keeping a running list that I will update constantly over the next few days at http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/09/14/43. I highly suggest to read it before installing B2TR.

READ BEFORE INSTALLING OFFICE 2007 B2TR
Unfortunately I didn't see this message before loading B2TR. Most of my
files were created using office 2000 (xls/doc format) but recently installed Norton IS 2006. I have been enjoying B2 since July without obvious problems, so I also have a few files with docx/xlsx format. So far I have been unable to find a single file that will open after installing B2TR not even those created since the installation. Nor will Windows let me restore to a point prior to installing B2TR. Any advice on how I can get my files back? "Patrick Schmid" wrote: The B2TR patch has some nasty surprises for users in store.
