In addition to Adam's comments, here's a list of improvements posted by Andy
Ruff, the lead program manager for Entourage, on the Entourage newsgroup:

* Out of Office
* Kerberos Single Sign-on
* Free/Busy Detailing
* To Do flag sync
* Delegation over HTTP

Here's the direct link to an article I wrote. It explains the different
philosophies that drive Entourage and Outlook:

Microsoft Shift Asserts

Posted: 18 Jan 2008 05:51 AM PST

com wrote:
 

Asserts are placed in software to assist its developer, often as a
testing mechanism to alert them that something is wrong. For example, an
assert may be placed in a section of code that's never suppose to be
triggered. But if the assert is triggered then something went wrong.

SQM, which is the name of the server you're seeing, stands for Software
Quality Management.

What you're seeing is most likely the result of you having said "Yes" to
the question during your installation that asked, "Are you willing to
participate in the customer experience improvement program?"
<http://www.microsoft.com/products/ceip/en-en/default.mspx>

This is an anonymous program where you allow your software to send
Microsoft feedback about how it's doing. It should never transmit
anything personally identifying about you or any information that you
are creating but if you're uncomfortable you can disable this in any
Office 2008 application's preferences under "Feedback".

Hope this helps!

is there a downloadable TRIAL of Office 2008?

Impossible to tell.

Did you download the trial iWork08 version? Did it do everything you
need it to do? If so, it's probably just as good for *you* (your imac
will probably be indifferent...).

Problems printing from Office with Leopard

Posted: 18 Jan 2008 01:23 AM PST

Same problem here. We discussed this issue in the Apple Discussion Forums at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6374169, but nobody found an acceptable solution yet. As noted there, this is an issue Microsoft did already confirm but didn't supply a fix until today. Of course we thought, the problem won't be there anymore in Office 2008 but we were obviously wrong... if we can't print with Office, it is just useless.

Office 2008 "Help" requires fix to on how to deal with changes fromOffice 2004

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 09:22 PM PST

Hey Norman--awesome new feature! If you are using Online Help, you can
provide feedback on a topic (at the bottom of each topic, make sure
Online Help is on). Please also send your comments to MS through
that--I think that will really help with the small specific details that
Help may be missing.

What version to Buy

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 09:01 PM PST

Additional to Jim's sage advice, you also have to consider whether you
intend to use the software to make money. If you do, I believe it's a
violation of the H/S EULA just as it is in previous education editions.

Certain TTF Fonts not appearing in Office 2008

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 07:37 PM PST

@ William

Thanks for the suggestion. I use Cocktail on a weekly basis and tried emptying the cache as well both on the Intel and the PowerPC computer and nothing. The fonts are still hiding from me.

Any other thoughts?

How to Re-Install MS Office 2008 with a different Product ID?

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 04:27 PM PST

Try trashing the Office 2008 folder and the Office 2008 preference folder in the ~/library/Preferences/Microsoft folder.

Excel 2008 cannot open xlsx and xlsb filescreated by Excel 2007 for PC

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 01:59 PM PST

Concerning the problematic Excel files, there are no macros, VBA scripts, ActiveX Controls, etc. in those files. There are, however, two charts on one of the spreadsheets contained within.

I tried to use the converter, "Office Open XML Converter.app", on the files, at the request of Microsoft's technical support while I had them on the phone, but the converter responded, "Incompatible file type".

Even if I could convert those Workbook files to, say, Excel 2004 format, they would be altered substantially, since there are 400 columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within. By the way, before adding columns to them,, I used to open those files in Excel 2004 without incident, i.e. the only difference between those files and versions of those files that I used to work with in Excel 2004 is that these latest versions have about 150 extra columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within.

Same here

Mac Mail Import

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 01:36 PM PST

In Entourage, please see the Help topic "Import messages in MBOX format"

By the way, I think the File | Import command in Erage would also have
brought over your mail from Mail.

MS Word 2008 student edition keeps crashing

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 12:20 PM PST

Thank you for your advice, John -- but so far it hasn't worked.

When I originally installed Office 2008, it removed my old Office X. All the new programs worked great except Word, and when it kept crashing, I re-installed my old Word X just to get my work done.

So when I read your post and tried to follow those directions, the only "Normal" template I could find in my whole system was in the old Office X Templates folder. There is no such folder in my Office 2008. I went ahead and opened up Word 2008 then quit as you advised, it said it was saving the Normal template, and quit normally -- then gave me the same error message. I launched it again and tried opening an older Word file, and it crashed again.

I've also tried installing this on another computer, and same issues -- all other programs work well, but Word keeps crashing.

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
