Office does not start up at all Microsoft Office for Mac

Office does not start up at all

Also, in response to "It's appropriate that *none* of the DVD content
will run from the DVD."

Just to clarify, the Office installer itself will not run, among the
other Microsoft applications on the DVD. It's as if every single
Office related application has decided that they will not open up
anymore. All of my other applications are not affected.

Well, you're a man or woman of few words, despite posting 5 times. ;-)

Care to give us some detail about what exactly you want to do?

Purchased Office for Mac, can I selectively install?

Posted: 16 Jan 2007 12:14 PM PST

Hi again,

To make things more comfortable for you, it doesn't really make a whole lot
of difference if you do a custom install or a drag-and-drop install of
Microsoft Office. We're just trying too hard to give you the optimal install
when really it's just easy to do either way.

Probably the most important thing is to use the Remove Office tool to get
rid of the Office Test Drive if it came with your computer. Do that before
installing Office from the CD.

Mac user with pointless Office

Posted: 16 Jan 2007 07:01 AM PST

You can insert the "characters" in Office 2004, but you CANNOT write Arabic
because the text runs in the opposite direction :-)

Nobody outside Microsoft yet knows whether Office 2008 will support
right-to-left languages or not.

They were waiting on Mac OS X to support RTL. Rumour has it that OS 10.5
will finally get full support for RTL languages. But whether that support
will arrive in time to be designed into Microsoft Office 2008 is another
question.

Nobody I know is allowed to tell us the answer! :-)

Cheers

11.3.3 update causes Problems

Posted: 15 Jan 2007 12:42 PM PST

I think you may have a stranded copy of a previous version of Office on your
computer, and the patch has updated the wrong one.

The "safe" way to do this is to run the Remove Office tool, which will
safely remove everything that Microsoft created and leave anything YOU
created.

I would still recommend running a backup before you start. Rules 1 and 2 of
software maintenance: "If everything is backed up, nothing will go wrong".
If anything is missing from the backup, that's what will be irretrievably
destroyed by the update!" :-)

Remove both versions, then go hunt down your Normal template and delete that
too (if you don't get it out it will cause problems).

Then run the installer to put everything back. Then run the 11.3 and 11.3.3
patches. You should be good to go after that.

Hope this helps

office v. x updates 10.1.6 and or 10.1.9

Posted: 15 Jan 2007 11:09 AM PST

Have a look at the menus in one of the Office applications; if they are in
English, then you have the English version of Office, and the English
updater should work as advertised. If I were you, I'd remove Office using
the Remove Office tool in the Value Pack folder on your Office install disk
and re-install the applications. Having done that, you should be able to
apply the 10.1.9 updater without any problems.

licensing on MS Office 2004

I assume these 3 macs all have office installed with different serial
numbers? They must have if they are working together (even the 3-license S&T
edition gives you 3 different 'product keys').

If so, then it is quite acceptable to install the product key of the dead
mac's copy of office on a fourth machine. This is transferring the copy, not
duplicating it.

The mac version of office does not use product activation like the windows
side of things.

Language settings in Office for Mac 2004

Posted: 11 Jan 2007 11:01 AM PST

I find the best way of doing this is to define the languages into your
styles.

So I might have Body Text AUS, Body Text US, and Body Text UK styles to
switch between three languages.

If you do not want to switch entire paragraphs, use Character styles.

Or use the macro Corentin sent :-)

Cheers
