Can I download the install files if my drive doesn't work?

My understanding of Karen's problem (correct me if I'm wrong, Karen) is
that although you do have the original disks to reinstall Office you
don't have a working drive to read them. You've tried re-downloading the
Office Test Drive to use that temporarily but it has already been run
once on your computer and has expired.

Once the Test Drive has expired on a machine it can not be re-downloaded
for more use. And it can not be turned into a working copy.

So, what you need to do is find a way to get the Microsoft Office 2004
folder from the CD to your hard drive. This is why I suggest trying to
network your Mac with another to copy the installer. Or if you have an
external hard drive that you can move between machines then you can copy
the installer from the CD to the hard drive on a working machine and
then connect it to your Mac with the failed disk drive.

Hope this helps! bill

MS Access question

Hi,

In case all you need to do is get the data from an mdb file you can use ODBC
(Open Database Connectivity).

Actual technologies is my personal favorite

Another company with ODBC drivers is OpenLink

Using 2 versions of Mac Office 2004 (Japanese and English). How do I set the default for which version my machine uses to open office files?

Have you considered creating a new User in System Preferences and install
the Japanese version in the new user? Be sure to create an Application
folder in the User and not install in the root Application folder.

Use Fast User Switching to quickly go back and forth.

Excel Questions

Posted: 07 Mar 2007 01:03 AM PST

Hi Dave -

I get the impression you may have used the AutoSum button to generate your
totals. It is typical for the feature to assume that all consecutive cells
containing values are to be summed, but if the range is innacurate you need
only edit it to indicate the correct cell reference(s).

OTOH, if your're referring to the appearance of a SmartTag showing up along
with a flag in the corner of the calculation cell, that's tied to the same
"concept" - but they will pop up even if you write the fx from scratch if
there are additional values in contiguous cells. Just click the Smart Tag &
selecty Ignore Error form the contextual menu. Both pieces of markup will go
away. That's just the MS way of trying to let us know that their software
knows more about what we're tying to do than we do :)

I'm not sure if you can turn the "feature" off in MacXL, but on the dark
side you can go to Tools>Options>Error Checking & remove the check for
"Formula omits cells in region" - you might check Excel>Preferences to see
if there is a comparable setting... Not at a Mac right now so I can't check
it myself :(

As to your second ??, I have no idea... Haven't seen it, can't reproduce it.
Perhaps Mr. McGimpsey is on the right track there.

Have you perhaps deleted or disabled any system fonts?

Do NOT turn off Apple's Helvetica, or any other font found in
/System/Library/Fonts.

I agree with Bob that running the Combo updater might help. It's also
possible that you will need to do an Archive & Install of the OS.

I sympathize with your plight, but please re-read my reply to Geoff P -
there is absolutely no reference to reinstalling Office.

Emailing Office Attachments To PC Users

Posted: 28 Feb 2007 07:24 AM PST

If their PC is correctly configured, they can simply double-click the file
AFTER they have saved it to their local drive. Windows will figure it out
from there.

If they double-click in their email program, the email program and Windows
and their security software should all explain how stupid they are by
issuing an error message.

If the system administrator wants to keep his or her job, there should be no
way you can get a file to open by double-clicking it from the email program.
If there is, look for another job: the company is not going to stay in
business that long :-)

Cheers

A customized Entourage install

If Word 5.1 would let you export the addresses as a tab-delimited file
or somesuch, you could import that into Entourage. I have no idea what
Word 5.1 allows. Even if you could copy and paste all the addressees
into a Word file, probably we could help you get that importable, though
at that point, depending on how many addresses, it might be easier just
to enter them manually. 

If you use Entourage and Word together, it's pretty simple and very
good, and integrated such that the contacts in Entourage are directly
accessible from Word without even launching Entourage.

But in general, software has gotten more complicated in the last 10-15
years or so since Word 5.1 was written.

Office 2004, Office 2003 and Office 2007

Actually, now I'm totally confused about what you mean.

The screenshots did show up.

You *prefer* the Word 2004 effect in the second screenshot? Those
screenshots look like completely different effects have been applied to
me--I'm not sure they prove your case (whatever it is).

Help | Send Feedback goes direct to the MacBU--posts here just vanish
into the ether and reach people with no control over the design, they
don't really support anything. I hope your Send Feedback was more
explicit about what you want to see in future versions.

Office 2004 11.3.4 Update

Posted: 27 Feb 2007 07:19 AM PST

Maybe you've done this already; but if not, here's something to check:

Go to your Applications folder > Microsoft Office 2004 > Office. In the
Office folder, look for the file named "Microsoft Component Plugin." The
version for that file should be 11.3.3. If it's anything earlier than that,
you won't be able to install the 11.3.4 update.

Post back and let us know what version you have.
