Did you do this because of some specific symptoms or just because you had
nothing better to do one rainy Sunday?:) Details?

OS X 10.4.what? When you reinstalled everything did you also *re-update*
everything? Reinstalling effectively sends you back in time & if all updates
don't get reapplied - in the correct order - you might experience this type
of behavior.
 

If you mean that the Mac is automatically rebooting itself every when you
start up this can be a symptom of what was referred to above.
 

Like Bill wrote, it is a virtual certainty that Office is not at fault here.
It may appear to be since it sounds like you've applied Office updates which
are dependent on OS X updates & that those are not being found. So, again,
updating OS X completely & correctly along with the other diagnostics Bill
suggested should correct the problem.

Remote Desktop in Microsoft Office 2004 folder

Posted: 11 Nov 2007 08:40 AM PST

Hi Prof -

I'm guessing here, but to offer you a less technical "insight" - Is it
possible that you had the Mac (or at least Office) set up by the IT folks?
If so they may have simply used the same "standard" installation procedure
as they would for in-house Macs which might include the RD software -
especially if the school has a mixed bag of Mac & PC users.

That may explain how it got there, but like Bill says there are at least 2
different "remote desktop" apps, so it isn't certain which one you have.
Neither should be of concern other than whatever amount of disk space it
occupies... Have you noticed any anomalies?

Icons missing and quitting unexpectably

Additional to John's suggestions:

Reapply the Apple OS X Combo update
Reapply the latest QuickTime update
Repair Permissions
Make sure Office is fully updated

If no change you might also run Disk Utility - Verify Disk & proceed
accordingly if errors are found.

Office 2008 monaco 9 pt anti aliased

Posted: 08 Nov 2007 11:13 PM PST

Why would you even ask?

The Office 2008 suite isn't scheduled to be available for another 2 - 2 1/2
months. As John points out anybody who replies would have to be using a Beta
version - probably not the latest and most likely an illegal/pirated copy at
that. How reliable, useful or informative could such "information" possibly
be?

The purpose of the newsgroups is to help users resolve issues with versions
of the software *currently* in use, not to speculate on what may or may not
transpire in future versions... There are plenty of "chat-rooms" out there
for that type of pointless banter:-)
