MS office 2004 installed but applications not opening?? - please help!

Posted: 07 Feb 2007 08:47 AM PST

I have now tried to follow the advice of this thread.

1. removed office (Run x 2) (no installations of microsoft left)
2. Repair disk permissions (my mistake got the advice about booting
from cd from another thread in this newsgroup)
3. Drag & drop install
4. Installed 11.3.3 update before trying to open any application (boy
do I feel stupid, thanx CyberTaz)
5. Upon opening, the applications still just bounce in the dock and
then disappear.

As I type I am downloading Diane's link to Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo
Update (Intel). Hopefully it will work.

All of this effort is enough to drive a man to NeoOffice :)

Thanks for all of your help.

Office 2004 will not install on MacBook Pro

There have been numerous problems reported on problems resulting from the
Test Drive not being properly removed.

If you search the Microsoft KB articles you will find:

1. You may need to run the Remove Office application more than once.
2. "Successfully Removed" is not always true.
3. Problems can occur using the installer. The installer cannot overwrite
certain files. Use the drag-and-drop method of installation.

You can try to manually remove Office and then reinstall and update. I would
also apply the combo updater first. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files.

See How to Manually Remove Office v. X for Mac from Your Computer....also
applies to Office 2004

Sadly it might be quicker to wipe your drive and reinstall your software.
This issue truly ranks up in the top Microsoft crap list.

Can 11.3.3. update be installed via ARD?

You don't really need to read the article since the general idea is
rather simple:
- update the app on one Mac
- read the Read-me to figure out which files are new
- build a package with the files from the updated version of Office so
that you can replace them on the other Macs through a .pkg
- use ARD to deploy the .pkg on all Mac.

This, of course, requires that Office is installed in the same location
(/Applications ? ) on all Mac.

Problem with PowerPoint Slideshows

Posted: 05 Feb 2007 05:16 PM PST

Hi,

I'm not aware of anything in particular that can cause this behavior in
PowerPoint.

Here's a list of troubleshooting steps to take.
http://mcgimpsey.com/macoffice/office/troubleshooting.html

If it were me I would do the following in this order and test after each
one:
1. Make sure your copy of PowerPoint is up to date
2. Run Disk Utility to repair permissions
3. Run DiskWarrior

I know what you mean - sometimes it's hard to tell & that's another reason
why I try to avoid reading into the posts of others :-) Certainly no problem
on this end... As before, I just wanted to save you unnecessary time &
expense. If the Win software needs upgrading it may be just as economical to
buy the Mac version outright. If you do contact MS or anyone else re
conversion don't forget to mention the "small non-profit" bit ;>)

Hope all goes well with the transition!

Good Luck |:>)

I agree. Why bring over old baggage?

Entourage won't switch when MS office and messenger are already closed!

I have the latest update for Entourage. Messenger is on my computer

solve this problem with switching? How do I get rid of Messenger?

I'm glad the update solved the problem. May I suggest since you are new to
Mac that you join a talk list. This is a newsgroup and not a blog BTW. A
talk list is one where you receive email messages. I suggest getting
individual messages rather than digests since it's easier to reply to a
message.

Talk lists are like a community. You get to know frequent listees and will
learn a lot from other people's troubles. Help is usually quick and it's
free. :-)

I can recommended two good lists that help with you learn about everything
Mac. Both are moderated so you will get help and not a lot of noise.

Mac-L.. One of the oldest lists around.

OSX.. <http://osxlist.com/>

Just remember we were all new at one time. There are no dumb questions.

Thanks Jim. I was afraid that might be the answer but figured I should
check.
