In addition to JE's comments: make sure you have not accidentally turned on
the "Word 5.1" mode. If you press Ctrl+5, the toolbar layout and the menus
will change to reflect the look of Word 5.1. Press Ctrl+5 again to return to
your normal toolbar and menu layouts. There is indeed no Language entry in
the Extras menu of "Word 5.1" mode, and a really simple shortcut like Ctrl+5
is not really the best choice to enable a mode that most users probably do
not want to use anyway.

Okay, Bob, thank you for your suggestion/advice.
First time I've posted here, found the group by way of a general
Google search for a resolution to my issue of a missing Microsoft
AutoUpdate for my Office 2004: Mac.

In the future, I'll post brand new posts. Just seemed like a good
bet, since it was such a recent post, and because it was an almost
identical issue that was resolved for another user, that a simple
clarification could help me.

As for reposting using different identity: since there doesn't appear
to be a way to use a ficticious email address (much like, say Craig's
list) and I didn't especially like the idea of my primary email
address being readily available to anyone (after translating the wavy
letters!)--I decided to use an email address that is way down on my
hierarchy of addresses.

....I'll post this as a new issue, but: I just finished downloading
the combo file for my PPC that is running OS X 10.4.9. The
installation "had errors" and it suggestion I try again, which I did,
again to no avail.

mahalo,
Robin

Actually, I'm confused by "a 2.1 GHz PowerPC G5, 700 MHz"

AFIK, the slowest G5 was 1.6 GHz, so where the 700 MHz comes in I have no
idea unless you're quoting the Front Side Bus speed, so I'm going to assume
for the sake of argument that you have a:

20" Imac G5 (iSight) which has a 2.1 GHz G5 processor with a 700 MHz Front
Side Bus ... Reasonable guess?

If so, running VPC 7, Windows XP Pro - *not* Home - & Office 2007 is not a
problem. I wouldn't want to work it day in / day out for business purposes,
but for even college level school work (other than 'advanced database design
401') it will probably be acceptable. This is based on my experience with
that software configuration running on a Dual 2 GHz G5 (1 GHz FSB) but only
1.5 GB RAM. In fact, Office 2007 runs noticeably faster than 2003 - and even
2003 is 'tolerable'.

Unexpected Quits

Try repairing Disk Permissions: Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities),
select your hard disk volume in the left pane, click the First Aid tab, then
click Repair Disk Permissions.

Simply updating to a newer version of Mac OS X may resolve issues with
unexpected quits. Re-applying the latest combo updater from Apple can also
overwrite potentially problem causing files.

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/combo.html>

Re-install Office from original media then updating, can resolve issues with
unexpected quits. Use "Remove Office" first.

Delete .plist files: Unexpected quits -- especially those that occur after a
major Mac OS X update -- can be solved by deleting corrupt .plist files.

Preferences can be found in your User's Library/Preferences folder:
com.microsoft.OfficeNotifications.plist
com.microsoft.DatabaseDaemon.plist
com.microsoft.Entourage.plist
Microsoft folder
com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

Caches: In some cases, unexpected quits an other issues can be resolved by
deleting specific system caches. Try deleting files that start with
"com.apple.LaunchServices" from the /Library/Caches folder.

Control-Click (Right-Click) causes unexpected quit, Crashes upon right-click
are usually associated with 3rd-party contextual menu items.

Should I UPGRADE to Office 2004?

Posted: 23 Mar 2007 06:37 AM PDT

Not only cynical, but wrong :-)

I have a copy of Word 5 for DOS here. Works fine.

Microsoft dropped support for it before some of you were born. But I can
still use it. And I can still find articles about it in the Microsoft
knowledge base.

By all means throw mud at Microsoft, but make sure it's on target :-)

That said, I would now advise everyone who can wait half a year to wait for
Microsoft Office 2008. It will be a very fundamental improvement to many of
the things we are having issues with right now. Yes, we will lose VBA. But
we'll get some VERY tasty new features that will make this one worth waiting
for.

Those who can't wait should be shopping around for prices now :-)

Cheers

Groove for Mac

Hi,

You are able to let the Groove folks know of your interest by posting your
feedback in the Groove newsgroup at microsoft.public.groove

They would probably like to know that there is an important market that is
being overlooked and that there is a ready, willing and able customer being
ignored.

Yup - they each have strengths and weaknesses.
