Moving Bookmark Folders In Safari 'Collections'

Posted: 24 Aug 2007 09:31 AM PDT

Hello Rafael,

How did you get here without knowing it's the Office:Mac newsgroup? You for
whom we are having a medal struck for Long Service and Good Conduct -- here
and in microsoft.public.mac.office.word -- for providing so many interesting
questions over the years?

It's your mates in here, Rafael!

You know all this, right? For example using Entourage or newsgroup
applications for quicker and easier access?:
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/AccessNewsgroups.html and
http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/Posting.htm (if you use Safari you may see a
blank page and have to hit the circular arrow icon -- "Reload the current
page" -- two or more times).

Cheers,

Clive Huggan

Office File Ownership problem between OSX and XP

This may very well not be an Office issue at all.

In my company we must set our Windows Server (or really any server)
permissions very carefully or files created by one user may be unusable
by another. The trick is to make sure that server permissions for the
shared folders are set to not allow anyone to take ownership. Only an
account on the server, such as a local administrator account, should be
set as Owner. No group should ever be set as Owner.

Hope this helps!

Will Office 2004 professional work on intel mac

Posted: 23 Aug 2007 04:28 PM PDT

Yes, I'm running a Pro version here on an Intel Mac.

As Diane says, there are two disks in the package. The VPC and Windows disk
will simply eject if you try to install it :-)

If you install Bootcamp or Parallels on you Intel Mac, you can use the
Windows XP licence that comes with Pro to install Windows. However the
Windows XP installer on the disk will refuse to install outside of VPC. The
easiest way around that is to borrow a normal Windows XP disk from someone
and install using the Windows licence key you own, printed on the back of
your Windows CD :-)

Hope this helps

Office 2004 seen as Classic App??

Posted: 23 Aug 2007 10:40 AM PDT

Hi Thera:

1) Apple is spouting nonsense :-) You can install Microsoft Office an
UNLIMITED number of times on the same computer.

2) If you have the Student and Teacher version, you get three product keys,
which enable you to install an unlimited number of times on each of three
computers.

Each key gives you a licence to install on a single machine, as often as you
need to.

To correct the problem you have, put your CD in the hole and re-install
Office using drag-and-drop.

It sounds as though Apple has done something strange when they replaced the
hard drive. They may have supplied one that had the Office Test Drive
already installed. But I suspect it's just that your old preferences do not
apply to the new OS that's causing the problem.

In which case, simply "Installing" Office will bring it right. If it
doesn't, run the Remove Office tool you will find on the Office CD to remove
all of Office, then install again using drag-and-drop from the CD.

Once you have installed from the CD, you must apply Microsoft Office updates
11.3.5, 11.3.6 and 11.3.7. Do that before you try to run the applications
or you may get (more) problems.

In future, be alert to the fact that if you change OS versions, it is most
unlikely that dragging applications back from another disk will work,
because the preference files created to say where all the various bits of
hardware and software on the computer reside are not valid for the new OS.

Hope this helps

You can run a Windows OS on your Mac, then run it from there.
But that is hardly on a Mac. It is more like on a fake PC.

Compatibility Package for xlsx, docx, etc... files

The Microsoft/Mac home page lists the latest converter. The current beta is
Word-only. It will be replaced with a more useful one, but I can't guess
when.

The final versions will not be available until after Office 2008 ships
(probably at nearly the same time as O2008 ships).

That's because the "converters" are actually most of the engine of the new
products (without the user interface) and they're not ready yet :-)

That is nowhere mentioned. I have never found "the purchaser" in any
license. If it was "the purchaser" you would not be able to buy some
software and make it a gift to someone who is eligible.

It would also be legally difficult as the eligible person can be under
18 years. That's why it says: "YOU MUST BE A QUALIFIED EDUCATIONAL USER
OR THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF A QUALIFIED EDUCATIONAL USER WHO IS A
MINOR TO LICENSE THIS SOFTWARE."

Thus, if I buy the student version for my eligible child it is fully in
accordance to the license agreement. I do not have to be a student or
teacher.

Thanks to both of you. I did set up a rule. Now a side effect of this:

If I am in the Exchange mailbox reading mail, and wish to reply, I need to
reply with the pop account...the default sending account is the Exchange
account and I have to remember to change it on each email I send...can I
default the pop account on these mails?

Again thank you very much.

If you have the Student and Teacher Edition, you have three licence keys.

Use a different key on each machine and you will be fine.

You can only run each licence on ONE machine, but you have three licences,
use them :-)

Problems with ClipARt on line

Posted: 16 Aug 2007 07:49 AM PDT

Most clipart from MS is downloaded as a .cil file which doesn't get
processed into the Gallery automatically unless you're still using the
abandoned Internet Explorer 5.0 browser or have your current browser
configured to handle them. Info that may help - depending on browser - is
here:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/clipart/HP010461351033.aspx

Or you can just follow the instructions here for adding to your Gallery:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2004/using.aspx?pid=usingword2004&type=howto&article=/mac/library/how_to_articles/office2004/of_downloadclip.xml


Either way, keep in mind that there are some objects glommed into the
over-expanded category of "clipart" that may not be usable on a Mac or may
only function properly in PowerPoint.

Volume Licensing Key available?

Quoting from "Tim" <com>, in article
com, on [DATE:
 

Hi,

There's a lot of information about how the volume license program works on
this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.mspx

Either your organization received a disk with a .dmg file on it that is to
be duplicated and distributed within the license agreement, or you were
given a way to download such a .dmg file.

I'd go through the volume license instructions again more carefully. If you
purchased a volume licensed copy it's available to you somehow.

Security Updates for MS Office X?

Sounds pretty logical to me, Peter. I'd be making exactly the same decision,
I suspect. ;-)

Hmm, Loughborough. Thanks to your mentioning it, I have checked Google Earth
and for the first time can see the front lawn of my friends' place in East
Leake -- previously it had the appearance of looking through a jelly. Not
that I'm used to looking at maps through jelly -- albeit I stared at a
transcendentally marvellous one last week, prepared with stupefying skill by
a Michelin star chef we know. Now I can see where they live I can set up the
GPS...

Sorry, I ramble, on more pleasant things than trade-offs in disappointing
software.

Batch AutoCorrect?

Posted: 15 Aug 2007 12:53 AM PDT

Hi Dave -

From the subject of your post I'm afraid there isn't anything available that
will 'rescan' your doc looking for & activating AutoCorrect entries. They
work on an as-you-type basis only. I imagine it would be almost impossible
to automate a solution because the macro would have to test for every
possible AutoCorrect trigger.

As you proofread the doc, however, you can manually trigger individual
instances if you place the insertion point at the end of the string, press
Spacebar (or whatever), then backspace (delete). Not the perfect fix, but it
saves a lot of retyping:-)

As long as you update BEFORE you open Entourage. If you don't you'll get the
warning.

This tends to cause a bit of panic when received.

Don't misread what I wrote :) OS X *does* now support RTL, but it wasn't
reliable until 10.3 [IIRC]. Office had long since been seated in the
marketplace. There are currently a number of Mac programs that include RTL -
it's just that the Office apps aren't among them - RTL must be _written in_,
it can't simply be _tacked on_ after the fact. That was the point of the
second 2 paras of my reply.

As for what O2008 will offer, nobody with any absolute knowledge is at
liberty to say. However, the consensus of those considered to have viable
insights is that RTL will be included and that it will be done properly.

Which Mac Office 2004 licenses have I used?

Hi Alan:

You probably did not have EVERY application quit when you did it. Every
member of the Office suite, including the Microsoft Office Entourage Daemon,
must be quit or you can't de-licence it because it has the licence key
(which is an invisible file) locked.

By deleting all the files, you also deleted the key :-)

Installing Office X on a new computer from an upgrade disk

AFAIK, if you have your v.X CD, it will work to validate the 2004
