This is an issue in third-party software used in Sametime for document conversions. The matter is being
investigated, and should be resolved in a future release.

Microsoft Office Integration : Re-enable Smart Tag
There are times when the Sametime options in the Microsoft Office Smart Tags suddenly stop appearing
in the Person Name drop-down action list. These options include "(Lotus Sametime) - Open chat" and
"(Lotus Sametime) - Open voice chat". The affected programs are MS Word, Excel, and Power Point.
This occurs when a Person Name Smart Tag is triggered from an MS Office application, but there is
currently not a 7.5.1 Sametime Client running. The Smart Tag requires a running 7.5.1 client in order to
launch chats, etc., and displays an error if a 7.5.1 client is not found to be running. MS Windows then
disables the Smart Tag.
To re-enable the Smart Tag, close all MS Office applications, launch the 7.5.1 client, and then run the
following registry file from anywhere:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY
_
CURRENT
_
USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart
Tag\Actions\{80E9E20D-D9D0-448E-BFCA-EF9BA799FCD4}]
"OpusApp"=-
Then open the MS Office application, and the "Lotus Sametime" menu items should be restored. This will
be fixed for the final product version.
Sametime
Unable to log in to Sametime from SUSE Linux client
In Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Beta 2, there is a known issue that requires a workaround to allow the Sametime
Connect client to successfully log in to the Sametime server. The workaround is to add your machine
host name and IP address to the machine hosts file. Following are the instructions:
z
Edit the
/etc/hosts
file. This file contains a list of host entries in the form of:
IP-Address Fully-Qualified-Hostname Optional Short-Hostname
The first entry in the file is likely:
127.0.0.1 localhost
z
Put your actual IP address and hostname above this entry, for example:
9.33.34.35 myMachine.acme.com
z
Save the file and start Sametime
