Applescript newsgroup?

I also like the idea of non-applescripters being introduced to
applescript via a combined group. Traffic is not so high in the
individual program groups that scripters need to be segregated out, I
don't think. I do hope that the current groups become places for
applescript questions and answers--the problem right now is that we
don't have enough people who are able to give the answers.....

Do you see a need, Sol? What made that occur to you?

How do you know the error is in the Entourage conduit and not in the
Palm application??
Additionally, as I mentioned in my previous post, if you have Entourage
2004, Tiger and TMS, you can bypass the conduit entirely,

Hi Chris,
 


I suspect that the computer already had the trial version loaded.
 

The idea would be to use the uninstaller to uninstall Office Trial and
then reinstall the whole thing. The identity shouldn't be affected, but
the templates could if they are simply in the default
/Applications/Micorosft Office 2004/Template folder.
Make sure you relocate them elsewhere before you uninstall, then
re-locate them where they belong once you've reinstalled.

RAM requirements

Posted: 02 Jan 2007 11:39 AM PST

No. The next version of Office will be a native Intel binary that will not
require Rosetta. Until then, I'm afraid the only answer is to add RAM as
Barry suggested.

Install Office:mac 2004 Professional on two laptops?

Posted: 27 Dec 2006 09:30 PM PST

Hello. I was able to install Office 2004 on two Macs. I had spoken to a
Microsoft employee who told me I could do so and that it was permitted
under the license agreement. Try it.

Hi Oliver:

If you ring your local Microsoft Office in Spain, they can arrange to sell
you any of the other languages that are available.

Mac Office does not yet have the Multilanguage User Interface available on
the Windows version. So no, you can't switch the user interface language in
Mac Office like you can in PC Office.

Cheers

You need to contact Microsoft Product Support Services to request a
new key. You will need proof of ownership.

Can't install (yes, I already did the Remove Office prgm)

Posted: 21 Dec 2006 12:40 PM PST

Hi Shade:

1) Make sure there is no Microsoft Office 2004 folder in your Applications
folder. If there is, delete it; and empty the trash BEFORE you go further.

2) Drag the entire Office 2004 folder from the CD to your "Applications"
folder.

I don't think the installer works properly on the Intel Mac (does anyone
know??)

Cheers

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.2 Update

Thanks, all. The update message on Mactopia's newsletter and

Safari and Firefox won't download MS updates

Posted: 21 Dec 2006 05:37 AM PST

Hi Travis:

I think your issue is with your internet connection. Your firewall may be
set to block .exe or .dmg files.

I just downloaded a Windows update from Microsoft Update using FireFox 2 on
the Mac.

When you go to the Windows Update home page, you will be taken to a
re-direct page that will take you to Microsoft Download Server.

If you try to download anything that requires Windows Validation, of course
that will not succeed unless you are using Windows operating system on your
Mac (either in Virtual PC or in Boot Camp or Parallels).

Any updates from the Mac Downloads section of Microsoft will work without
problems in Safari or FireFox. I just tried it in FireFox to make sure :-)

Lost Mac Office product code

Posted: 20 Dec 2006 01:40 PM PST

Hi Bob:

There's a bright orange sticker stuck to the back of the original CD case.
That's it...

If she hasn't got the outer case, she's pooched. Ring Microsoft: there's a
deal where if you registered the original they have a record. If your
details match the stored registration details, and I think you have to post
your original disks to them, they will then sell you a new set of disks with
a new key for 20 bucks (or something like that...)

Be nice: I believe this is an unpublished thing that's at the discretion of
the person you speak to :-)

Cheers

question

Posted: 20 Dec 2006 08:34 AM PST

Hi,

At the present time the answer is no. However, a converter is expected that
will allow Office 2004 to read and write these files.

The converters will be free:

Then go to this page & follow the troubleshoting tips on Normal &
Preferences - there is apparently a problem with your user prefs or the
Normal template.

You could also just set up a permanent new user & get rid of the one that's
gone bonkers.

Need two fonts from Microsoft

Posted: 19 Dec 2006 02:01 PM PST

The fonts you're looking for are supplied with Windows XP. See here:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/winxp.htm

You're looking for andlso.ttf and artro.ttf

They may not have been installed unless he selected the "International
Fonts" option when he installed Windows.

You can add them using Windows>Start>Control Panel>Add Remove Programs...

Once you have added them, you will find them in the Windows Font folder
(fonts can be only one place in Windows). However, to search for them in
Windows XP, you need to enable "Search hidden and system folders".

Hope this helps
