Anyone know why the Workflows menu item would be disabled in Word
2007? I've got Office ultimate and it works fine on my machine, but
others with Office Std and Office Pro + do not show it as a menu item.
When I add it from Customize, the button is disabled.
Thanks,
Jeff
Found the answer on the MS marketing site (it took some creative
searching...). It looks like a SKU issue. How many are there now?
Here's the answer:
If any commands in the following procedure are not available, you
should know that:
To start a Collect Signatures workflow from directly within an 2007
Office release program, you must have at least the Edit Items
permission for the library where the document is saved. Some workflows
may require that you also have the Manage Lists permission to start a
workflow. In other words, you need the same permissions as if you were
in the browser. Check with your site owner.
A site owner can remove a workflow from a specific list or library.
You must save the document to a list or library where the Collect
Signatures workflow is available. Check with your site owner.
A site collection administrator can deactivate a type of workflow,
such as the Collect Signatures workflow, for all sites in the site
collection.
The ability to start a Collect Signatures workflow from Office Excel
2007 or Office Word 2007 is available only in Office Professional Plus
2007, Office Enterprise 2007, and Office Ultimate 2007, and in the
stand-alone versions of Office Excel 2007 and Office Word 2007.
