===== Office 2019 Reset =====

<note warning>This reset fixed printing problems from Microsoft Word where "Custom Print" was selected and users could not print selected pages from a document.</note>

  - Close all MS Office apps.
  - Edit registry as the user with the problem.
  - Delete the entire registry key:
    - ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0''

===== Office 2016 with Office 2019 App =====

If you have Office 2016 installed and activated, then install an Office 2019 app, such as Visio, you may run into problems:

  * When you activate the Office 2019 app, it may break the activation of Office 2016
  * If you re-activate Office 2016, it may break the activation of the Office 2019 app
  * When you try to run an Office 2016 app, it actually runs the 2019 version

==== Microsoft's Solution ====

Download the **fix-it tool** from this web page:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Uninstall-Office-from-a-PC-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8

Basically, it uninstalls all MS Office apps and digs it out of the filesystem (and registry?).

Then go to https://account.microsoft.com/services if you need to download any software or find license keys.

  - Run the Fix-It tool
    - Reboot?
  - Download, Install and Activate Office 2016 Home and Business first
  - After that, download, install and activate Visio 2019

===== Discover last 5 characters of installed MS Office license =====

These scripts from MS will get you the last 5 digits which may help you back track. 

At a command prompt, type the following for the appropriate version:

<file>
cscript "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
