Well, it's a disaster for my cross-platform VBA solutions, too, but it's
true.

You *can* create new macros via AppleScript - *that* support was
improved quite a bit.

Trial Version expired: To Buy online

Posted: 21 Jan 2008 12:21 AM PST

Basically, you can't turn the Test Drive into a full version. You will need
to buy a proper full version instead, then run the Remove Office tool (in
Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office). After
that, you're free to install the full version. I would recommend buying
Office 2008 Home & Student, as its relatively low price tag will allow you
to install Office on up to three Macs in your household. Additionally, if
you install Office 2008, the Test Drive should be removed automatically.

Major issues with Word 2008 student teacher edition for Mac

Since the behaviors you list are pretty anomalous, I wouldn't hold my
breath for a fix unless we can narrow down the problem a bit.

First, what OS version are you running? What hardware (e.g., PPC/Intel,
speed, RAM)?

Are you using a remote home folder? Are your files on a network location
or local?

Perhaps most importantly, does this same behavior happen if you create a
new OSX user?

For 1, what is a "big" ppt file? For 2 and 3, does this happen with new
files as well as old?

In any case, make your suggestion in Help/Send Feedback on ... in XL and
PPT. Make sure you include a description of how it will help you do what
you need to do in XL and PPT to help the developers understand and
prioritize the business case for including the feature.

That's really great for Apple. Unfortunately, in terms of real-world

because it simply dosn't work as well as it should.
 

According to test done by others in these news groups, Sync Services is
unable to synchronize multiple phone number fields, email address
fields, and so on, ostensibly because it considers them duplicates. In
fact, it fails to synchronize a lot of the data that Entourage Handheld
Sync Conduit synchronized with ease, including categories. You may
consider that to be "just fine", but some of us consider it to be a step
backward.

cannot register office mac 2008 product id invalid

Same for me. Invalid Product ID # . Microsoft suggests you go to help menu and click on About for the Product ID. Tried that and it does not appear to exist either. Awesome MS!

Office 2008 is verbose

The logs entries show some sort of problem with graphic images ("invalid
data" doesn't tell *me* much, at least) in Word and XL.

Without knowing what image calls are causing the problem, it's
impossible for anyone to say what's "right".
 

I can't reproduce your results - I worked for over an hour this morning
with a Word document containing multiple images without getting a single
error message.

Is your assumption valid for your machine?

Do you continue to get these errors at that rate? Are you doing anything
in particular when they occur?

Do you get these errors from Word and XL while working on different
files?
 

Since it's not happening universally, it won't be an issue for everyone.

However, you should use Help/Send Feedback to report it to MacBU.

Office 2008 starts very slow

Posted: 18 Jan 2008 01:36 PM PST

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I tried that but unfortunately it didn't do the trick. The startup is still around 5 minutes for both Word and Entourage. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Microsoft Word 2008

Posted: 18 Jan 2008 05:58 AM PST

My next suggestions are as follows:
1. Check the permissions on ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/User
Templates/Normal.dotm. Ensure you have write access to the file and the
folder.
2. Try moving or deleting the above file
3. Try moving or deleting (if it exists) ~/Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Normal
4. Try moving or deleting ~/Library/Preferences com.Microsoft.Word.plist


Let me know if any of these remedy the problem.

Thanks,


Curt
