Complete installation causes display problem for Traditional Chinese end-user-defined characters
If users with Traditional Chinese fonts choose the Complete Install option during Office Setup or choose the Run from My Computer option in a custom installation, any end-user-defined characters (EUDC) they have defined are replaced by characters in a Korean font (New Gulim). The EUDC are no longer available and cannot be switched back to their original font. To prevent this problem, install Office by choosing the Installed on First Use option in a custom installation. To fix this problem if you have already installed Office, uninstall the Korean font.
Fax service is unable to send ink annotations on attached TIFF documents
If you send the fax directly from within Microsoft Office Document Imaging, the ink will be sent correctly. However, if you save the document to use as an attachment, you must make sure to select the Make annotations permanent when document is saved check box (Options dialog, Annotations tab).
Documents that contain color must be sent with a cover sheet
If you attempt to send Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents that include color objects without a cover sheet, the attachment will not be recognized by the fax service provider. If you include a cover sheet when sending, the fax service provider will be able to send the document.
Tip of the Day not updated for Office 2003
If you choose to use the Office Assistant and the Show the Tip of the Day at startup option is turned on, the tips you see may include outdated information.
Product and file icons not updated when upgrading to Microsoft Office 2003
In the Start menu and Microsoft Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office 2003 system applications and files are normally shown with high color icons. If you've upgraded from a previous version of Microsoft Office, you may continue to see low color icons from that old version instead of the new icons associated with Microsoft Office 2003. You can ensure the correct icons appear by changing the color depth of the system, and then changing it back to its original setting, as shown below.
Office does not match Windows XP themes if SP-1 is not installed
Microsoft Office 2003 applications are designed to complement the appearance of Windows XP. For Microsoft Office 2003 to take full advantage of themes on Windows XP, you must have Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1) installed.
Visit Microsoft Windows Update to download and install the latest service pack for Windows XP.
If you want to log on to a Document Workspace site that is outside your Windows network, you need to use the user name and password that are sent to you in e-mail
Also, to access the Document Workspace, you must add it to your list of trusted sites in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Find MODI VBA Reference on MSDN
The Microsoft Office Document Imaging 2003 (MODI) application exposes its functionality through programmable objects. However, the documentation for the MODI object model is not included in the Help files that were installed when you installed Microsoft Office 11. Programmers wanting to use the MODI objects in other applications as part of a custom application can easily add the MODI object library to their project. You can also obtain the MODI object documentation on MDSN.
Your Visual Basic project now has a reference to the application's object library. If you open the Object Browser (press F2) and select the application's library, it displays the objects provided by the selected object library, as well as each object's methods and properties. In the Object Browser, you can select a class in the Classes box and select a method or property in the Members box. Use copy and paste to add the syntax to your code.
