Office Teacher Student Edition

Posted: 26 Jan 2007 06:26 AM PST

Technically, "No." The reason the Student and Teacher version is so cheap
is that it is not allowed to be upgraded.

Legally, that is...

Sorry to create a new post, but I have tried the other posts' suggestions... can't install new Office 2004?

Posted: 24 Jan 2007 04:07 PM PST

Hi Jim:

Sorry: The problem is that they have sold you the wrong package.

You have an "Upgrade" version there, and it is looking for a previous
version to authenticate against. When you see that prompt, you need to
insert the Office 2001 for Mac CD to authenticate. Then the installation
will proceed.

If you do not have access to an Office 2001 CD, you need to take that
version back to the shop and change it for a Full Version disk.

There is no way round it. Sorry.

Faint Print

Posted: 24 Jan 2007 12:11 AM PST

Hi Sudeva,
I did a bit reading and thinking but I'm not much clever. I was thinking...
The color manaegement (CM) can take place in:
*application
*printer/device driver
*OS
My thought were focused on data stream, but I cannot work it out, both seems
me same and no-one is here to be able to help me... Both options seems me
adequate.

Word is non colour management app. It will directly proceeds RGB data into
printer dirver, however somewhere the OS has to come into place with CM but
it will assume the same profile (from color sync) as source and destination
so 0 transform will take place.

Then when printing into PDF (I'm used to go to PDF via PostSript) I'm not
sure how it's handled when doing PDF via PRINT>PDF but I will assume that
also it will be created via PostScript (PS). The system profile will be
assumed to be as source and the same transform as previously should come
into place.

Then my thought was on printing dialog box-Quartz filters - when printing
you have options to Change the printer settings in printer driver and can
also set Color Sync Quartz filter, wheter you have set in both cases the
same.

product keys per computer

Posted: 23 Jan 2007 11:01 AM PST

Hi Christian:

1) Bring up the About box from any of the applications on the machines that
are claiming that they are identical PIDs.

2) If the PID matches save the last 5 numbers, then you used the same
product key on those two machines.

For example, if I see 75968-130-0001751 in any of the Microsoft applications
on one machine, I would look for the matching numbers on any other machine.
If you find it, that's the bad one.

Note: The PID you see is NOT the "Product Key" so it won't match your
product key. But the first 15 digits of the Product ID are derived from the
Product Key, and will match on any machine installed with the same product
key.

Cheers

Another option would be to re-apply the combo updater from Apple. Doing so
overwrites potentially problem-causing files.

Power Point compatibility

Posted: 22 Jan 2007 05:43 AM PST

It's not likely anything can be done on the PC side or that Office 2003
installation to get the pictures to display.

See
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office/browse_thread/thread/10579c53e996fb8/72782d0e03d19e2a?lnk=st&q=chiang+tiff&rnum=3#72782 d0e03d19e2a.

For the ones that don't display (assuming they aren't PICT files), it's
best to re-insert them via Insert Picture > From File rather than
whatever method they were added.

Not a Valid Web Archive??

Probably the encoding. If it's in UTF-16, there needs to be a byte order
mark as the first character. The other applications may be "guessing". Try
what Peter suggested.

Just bought a Macbook for my son

Posted: 21 Jan 2007 03:50 AM PST

No, there is no way to "Legitimise" the Test Drive.

In is VERY IMPORTANT to you that you follow the instructions on the website
about running the Remove Office tool before installing the paid-for version.
If you do not do this exactly correctly, you will have a nasty time sorting
it out.

To move mail from a .pst to Entourage, first install the paid-for version of
Entourage and make sure it is operating correctly, then see here:

office for mac test drive wrong language

Posted: 19 Jan 2007 11:17 AM PST

Like Bob G. indicated you can download either language version you prefer
from that site. If you *haven't installed* the Test Drive you can safely
drag it to and empty the Trash. If you installed it, however you must run
the Remove Office utility which can be found in the Test Drive folder of
your Applications folder.

Once you install the Test Drive make sure you use Remove Office to remove it
*before* installing a live version of Office (or any individual Office app).
Just dragging to the Trash is a calamity you don't want to deal with :-)
