Right-click it and choose Download Linked File (Safari) or Save Link As
(Firefox) to download it to your hard disk.

Note that Safari, stupidly, gives it the .txt extension, which you will
need to remove before using the font.

Vista is the most recent version of the Microsoft Windows *operating
system*. It does not include the MS Office applications - of which
PowerPoint is one. MS Office (or PowerPoint itself) must be purchased
separately.

Can't Reinstall Office 2004 Upgrade

Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:56 PM PDT

Yeah, Diane is correct: sadly this is the main reason why I think very
carefully before buying "upgrade" versions. If you lose access to the
"qualifying" software, you are in a bind if you need to re-install.

Obviously, they do this to prevent us buying an upgrade, then selling the
old version :-)

However, ANY prior version will do, back to Office 98. As Diane says, if
you can borrow a CD from any one of those versions, that's all you need.

Put your upgrade version in, and when it doesn't find the qualifying
product, it will ask for the other CD. Insert that, it will have a look,
then ask for the upgrade CD back and continue its install.

Cheers

wmf files not printing properly from mac office applications

Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:02 PM PDT

Hi Karen:

Eeeewwww :-) Last time I saw WMF do that, it was because the graphic was
too complex.

I would just check that you have the latest update to QuickTime on your Mac
‹ that's the converter it's using.

Where did you get these WMFs from? I would be inclined to copy these
pictures out on the PC using Visio (or any other graphics program...) and
convert them to PICT. You need to use a real graphics program for this,
because WMF and PICT are not exactly equivalent, so some serious computer
processing is required for an accurate conversion.

Re-insert the PICTs on the Mac. PICT is to the Mac what WMF is to Windows.

Cheers

Office 2004 -- how to force the fonts to reinstall?

OK - that gives a clearer picture of the situation:-)

The very first thing you'll need to do is borrow your housemate's disk, but
it will need to be a Full Version, not an *upgrade* - if it's from an
upgrade package you'll also need full version install disk to complete the
installation. Although using one of his/her keys is technically a EULA
violation you can be the judge there... or better - if possible - have
someone from home locate the key for your copy. In general the procedure
will go as follows, but review the web page via the link below;

Rename or move the Microsoft User Data folder.

Next the installation disk has a Remove Office utility program which you'll
need to run in order to remove all traces of any versions of Office
currently installed. Run the utility more than once to be sure it gets
everything.

Once you reinstall Office apply the 11.3.5, 11.3.6 & 11.3.7 updates in that
sequence.

You should then be in good shape. Complete details can be found here for
step-by-step instruction:

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

If you have any further problems or questions don't hesitate to post them
here.

BTW, this _ain't_ my job:-) All who contribute here do so voluntarily, so
you may very well get some additional input from others picking up on the
thread.

Problems with Office 2004

Posted: 08 Sep 2007 08:22 AM PDT

Thank you. That seemed to solve the problem.

A trial version later than 11.2.1 needed

Posted: 07 Sep 2007 08:27 PM PDT

Hi David:

This problem has two causes:

1) You ran the updaters out of sequence. You must run 11.3.5 first, then
11.3.6, then 11.3.7.

2) You actually have installed the paid-for version of Office on that
computer as well. If you have, you need to remove both.

I suppose it could be that the Test Drive version you have has expired? It
will neither work nor update if its trial period has expired. The only way
around that for testing purposes is to set your system clock back to the
time when the test drive did work.

But I would be amazingly careful doing that if I were proposing to synch: it
is likely to destroy your mobile device database. Backup, backup, and back
up the backup...

Later versions of Microsoft Office are not available on disk: all MS CDs are
pressed with version 11.0.0 on them (so everyone knows what version "the CD"
is at).

Cheers

I found them.

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.word/topics
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/topics

Use the Search This Group button at the top right of the page.

There are about 80 million different ways to access these groups but I
would say Google Groups is best for occasional use, Entourage or another
newsreader best for steady browsing.

files disappearing

Hi Alex!

John has a good idea about "file server protocols". A lot of Mac users
don't realize that they can connect via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) and
SMB (aka CIFS). AFP is the Mac's native language for file sharing and
SMB is the Windows language for file sharing. Macs are great because
they can do both but each method has its own limitations. Placing a file
on the server via SMB and then later trying to access that file via AFP
can lead to problems and vice versa.

Try this...

Have your user connect to the server first using: "afp://servername" or
"afp://serverIPaddress". How does the file appear this way?

Next, have your user connect to the server using "smb://servername" or
"smb://serverIPaddress". How does it appear now?

You may not necessarily be able to use both of these protocols but if
you can then that's a good indication that the switch between protocols
is your problem. Simply stick to one or the other and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps!

I actually tried to help, I'm not especially alienated. But there's no
point in recommending anything without knowing whether the problem is in
Word or all of Office.

Check in an invisible folder named "lost+found" The folder is located at
the root level of the hard drive. To find this hidden folder called
"lost+found, do a search for "invisible files" and "Excel". If you are
lucky, you'll find the missing files.

Note: Due to a bug in 10.4 (still not fixed AFAIK) the Finder cannot find
invisible files.

It is better to activate the finder, then under the 'go' menu, select 'go to
folder'. In that dialog, enter "/lost+found" (without the quotes).

If there is a lost+found folder it will open, if not, you will get a 'folder
not found' error.

In the future you can stuff/zip your Office folder prior to updating. This
copy can be used to rescue a disaster like you experienced.

MS Office for MAC will not launch

Did you recently update your OS with the QT 7.2 updater? This has caused all
sorts of havoc that sounds like what you are describing.

Apple has posted KB 306043 Mac OS X: Some applications may not open after
QuickTime 7.2 Update with directions on dealing with issues resulting from
the latest QT 7.2 update.
