How to get rid of CE and CY fonts?

Posted: 01 Feb 2008 06:26 PM PST

The problem is that these fonts don't appear in Font Book. Nor can I find any font files anywhere with names like "Geneva CE" and "Monaco CY."

For example, the regular Geneva font is installed by Mac OSX inside VolumeName/System/Library/Fonts. When Office 2008 is installed, the various Central European and Cyrillic fonts, including Geneva CE, magically begin to appear ONLY within the Office apps font menus. They are not available to other apps on the same computer.

Finally, the CE and CY fonts are not installed by Office with all the other specific Office fonts in
VolumeName/Library/Fonts/Microsoft (my Font Book preference is not to install any fonts in my user Library folder).

Question about what "Home" means in the Home and Student Edition

Posted: 01 Feb 2008 04:01 PM PST

Hello Diane

Thank you very much for your quick reply. That is really good news.

No, we would not be using the software in a business setting, just using at home for both work and home things; mostly home.

I guess that you my wife's situation is slightly different from mine. She has a kind of "home office" (meaning she works from home sometimes, but mostly away from home) although again, I would think the majority of her email / word usage is home.

I guess that this is still within the confines of the "Home and Student" licence?

Thanks again

Word won't allow start up

Posted: 01 Feb 2008 11:36 AM PST

thank you for addressing my conundrum:

Well did you really try to check whether another Mac on the network was
using your copy?? Is there a chance someone copied your installation of
Office?? (the serial number is stored in a file in the Office folder)??

-Yes, a number of times. but it seems the serial number changes to a product ID number, and yes, those are different.

I have never heard of this message popping-up when Office wasn't
actually in use on another computer,

-i have three different serial #s for three computers. plus, i have shut the others off and it still happens.

Fpr this one, I would make sure Office is really perfectly up to date,

-i'm on auto update, in fact, an update came today.

Word 2008: What section number is cursor location?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On this group, you are just talking to other people who use the software






Yes. There were a couple rhetorical questions in there.

default font

After you do this, quit Word. Word will ask to save the normal template, click yes. Then it should be OK when you restart.

Thats what I thought, but no, Word just quit normally

Will people be able to open my files: 2008?

Posted: 31 Jan 2008 04:54 PM PST

Yes.

But it will be due to errors in the computer at their end, not yours :-)

The trick is DON'T TELL THEM IT CAME FROM A MAC!!

If you tell them, they will do "something different" and get problems. If
you don't tell them, it will just work :-)

Make sure you add the extension to the file name: that is a "last resort"
for the operating system at the other end, that usually enables the computer
at the other end to figure out what to do, no matter how badly configured it
is.

And don't send .docx files to people for about a year, unless they send them
to you. Many people have not applied the updates needed to handle .docx
files yet. Until they do, send the old format unless you know they can
handle them.

Cheers

Foreign languages in Office 2008 Home and Student

Posted: 31 Jan 2008 03:52 PM PST

I see. So the Mac version comes with more language proofing tools than the Windows one does, and I won't lose any foreign language capabilities if I buy the new version.

Sorry I put you through multiple answers, but Microsoft documentation is often nebulous, incomplete and out-of-date, so I needed real confirmation.

Thank you.

Office 2004, opening apps and corrupt fonts

Posted: 30 Jan 2008 12:10 PM PST

I have the same problem and none of these suggestions worked for me. It is maddening that MS doesn't know the cause of this after it being around for so long. I guess that is why we are switching to iWork.

Does anyone know if upgrading to 10.5 fixes the problem?
