Which Mac OS is compatible?

Posted: 24 Feb 2007 07:09 PM PST

I am expecting it's going to be 10.4 and above, on PPC and Intel.

Toolbars for Word

However, you can make those commands appear in the toolbar, which will in
turn make it larger. Just click the "More Buttons" arrow, and then
Control-click the command you want to appear in the main part of the
toolbar. In the contextual menu that appears, click "Show Command", and
then it will move to the visible part of the toolbar.

AutoUpdate could not be found

Hi John -

As I understand it, Bill summed it up very nicely from the point effect -
although I'm not sure I'm in complete agreement on _cause_. The para below
is quoted from Dr. Smoke in the Apple Discussions Forum:
 

Repairing permissions routinely is not an absolute necessity, but I
typically encourage its use in order to help avoid potential conflicts.

It's well & fine to not understand what it does, well & fine to not believe
in it, but at least you're man enough to say so rather than advocating from
a position of ignorance that *others* disregard its effectiveness :) For
someone to dismiss it a "myth" in the face of a situation where it *did* in
fact help resolve a critical issue is, IMO, irresponsible at the very least.

Migrating Office X files to Windows SBS 2k3

Posted: 21 Feb 2007 08:07 AM PST

Hi Little_Creature:

OK, that's not the case between Word 2003/Word 2007 and the Mac here :-)

I don't know why it's doing it for you. On my system, I can open/edit from
one to the other in either direction.

I'll have to check and see if I can produce the problem you're noticing.
Maybe I already registered the Mac File Type and Creator codes on the PC
years back and I have forgotten...

Cheers

Office 2004 Updates consistently Kernel Panic on OS X Server 10.4.8

Hi, John.

Thanks for the information and for all your help. I will send those
logs along to the address you recommended.

Just so future readers know, I tested the RAM (by removing certain
pairs, then others), but the kernel panic kept occurring at the same
point during the update. Since this user needed the computer up and
running fast, and since there wasn't much data to back up, i just
reinstalled the OS, and it seems to be working now. I was hoping it
didn't come to that, but it worked.

Installation cd wont work

Hello Lise -

I'm afraid things are definitely in disarray due to the history you related,
but you should be able to get back on track if you follow the instructions
at the link below. There should be no need to obtain new keys or repurchase
anything. You can't "use them up" unless they're all in use at once - but
that's what the installer thinks is the case.

Make sure that the 2 Macs are *not* connected (networked) in any way before
you start, and that OS X is fully updated. In fact, I'd suggest that you
apply the 10.4.8 Combo Updater (Intel) *after* the removal & *before* the
reinstallation. You'll need to do a proper Removal & reinstallation - and
you may need to run the Remove Office tool more than once. Don't omit the
use of Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions as mentioned there:

http://word.mvps.org/mac/RemoveReinstall.html

Also, if your 2004 package is actually an *upgrade* you'll need to have the
Office:Mac v.X disk handy to install 2004.

If you have any further problems post back as a _new_ post with all
pertinent details. This problem is completely different from the original
that started this thread & you're a totally different user - it's quite
possible that your request could have gotten overlooked altogether. As a
separate thread it will be easier for everyone to follow & more meaningful
as an archive.

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt for us to explain how these groups work from our
point of view...

Each of the people offering help here is a volunteer. None of us works for
Microsoft. We're not allowed to: if MS hires one of us, we have to hand in
our badge :-)

Many of us are very highly-specialised in a particular product. Some may
cover more than one, but nobody covers "everything".

Regrettably, if you post in the wrong group, the people who are most likely
to know the answer may not see the question at all. Also, as soon as
someone does answer, others may not read either the question or the reply.
If I see that Daiya's got it: sorry, but I probably won't read it.

In this case, arguably the leading expert on your matter is Diane, although
both Daiya and Allen certainly know more than I do about Entourage Projects
(which is not too difficult...)

Sorry, but some of us have to cover a lot of ground in the couple of hours a
day we can devote to this :-) For example: I'm a Word specialist. That's
it: Just Microsoft Word. To cover that, I am across about 11 different
groups: I need to get through between 200 and 500 posts a day (I have seen
it go up to a thousand when a new version comes out with bugs in it...)

So: Sorry if we missed your query! We do the best we can to serve you, and
the price is right :-)

To answer one of your questions: Yes, this is the only way you get to
converse with a human being for free about using Microsoft products. When
you buy shrink-wrap software, you get a "licence to use" with phone support
only for "installation". That support is limited to getting the product
running.

There is extensive support information on the Microsoft website, which of
course is also free. And there's us. Other kinds of question are
chargeable support.

Your question is about "how to use" or "how to repair". That's always a
chargeable item: you can purchase a support contract, but the cost is
prohibitive unless you're running hundreds of copies. Or you can buy
professional support at $35 per incident.

Hope this helps

What is 2008?

Posted: 16 Feb 2007 08:38 PM PST

At this point in time, Office 2008 is nothing more than a marketing term for
the next release of MS Office for Mac. Anything beyond that is constrained
to development within MS. We did see a "sneak preview" at MacWorld which
suggested that there may be some similarities as well as some difference,
but any number of changes are likely to occur before the current concepts
evolve into a product released to market.

Continue to check the Mactopia site for info. MS is the only reliable source
of information about *their* plans & products, and when there is something
to tell us I doubt they will hide it in any way ;-)

Will Office 2008 have an upgrade path from Office 2004?

Hi Walter,

Every accountant that I know uses Microsoft Excel as a primary tool.

But if you're looking for accounting specific software for the Mac I got 718
