Cambodia (5) - Banteay Srei (班蒂斯蕾古剎,又名女皇宮)

Banteay Srei is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today.

Things you want and things you don't want

If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want.  ~Oscar Wilde

Can't print to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer in Tiff format


After I installed some MS Office updates, I can't find the option to print to Microsoft Office Document Image Writer in Tiff format. I search and found a suggestion to remove and reinstall the "Microsoft Office Document Imaging" under Office Tools. The steps as below:

1. Close all running applications. If you have any Office application running, the driver will not be installed properly.
2. Go to the "Control Panel" and "Add or Remove Programs".
3. Click on"Microsoft Office 2003" and then click on "Change".
4. Check "Add or Remove Features" and click "Next".
5. On the bottom of the page check "Choose advanced customization of applications." and click "Next".
6. Under Microsoft Office click on the + sign in front of "Office Tools"
7. Locate "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the icon and select "Not Available".
8. Click on "Update". This will uninstall the MODI driver.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 6 to go back to the same location you were before.
10. Locate the object "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the icon and select "Run from My Computer".
11. Click on "Update".

However, I can't find the option to do the above steps in Microsoft Office 2010, hence I perform the above steps from Microsoft Office 2003, since I have both versions installed on my computer.

Apparently the above suggestion only works if you are on MS Office 2003 or 2007.

On further search I found that the Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) is removed in Microsoft Office 2010.

The resolution from Microsoft is as below:

To travel is to live

To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live. "
