PS. This looks like a pretty good basic guide for resume writing--aimed
at college students about to graduate:

Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacOffice group (not your fault, one of the
web interfaces is *very* badly designed). You might get an answer from
the people here who use both Windows and Mac, but you should try asking
your question on the general newsgroups. Start here:

Sometimes procrastinating helps. Microsoft released a new installer today.

MacBu released a new installer for the Office 2008 Update 12.0.1 today. This
is not new Office bits to be installed, but the installer itself that was
changed. This change was a result of problems experienced by some Office
2008 users having a failed update to 12.0.1. If you are one of the
unfortunate few that had problems, this patch is for you. If you were able
to successfully update to 12.0.1 then you do not need this patch.

Continue reading for steps to properly update Office 2008 to version 12.0.1.

my imac will not read disks

What kind of disks? Disks with Office data on them? Office install disks?
Since you posted in a newsgroup for Mac Office, that's why I'm asking. If
your iMac won't read any disks - a variety of CD/DVDs - this has nothing to
do with Mac Office and everything to do with a broken optical drive.
Contact Apple support for help with that.

Have you tried repairing disk permissions?
Have you udated to Office 12.0.1?
Are you running OS X 10.5 or 10.5.2?

It would help to know specifically *what* reasons are given in the error
messages - "various" tells us absolutely nothing. In fact, the content
you're omitting is the most important part.

Office 2004 - More Fill Color (Custom Colors) option does not work

Posted: 19 Mar 2008 10:25 PM PDT

Hi CyberTaz,

Well, I was thinking along that lines to use Pacifist and extract
CommonCocoalPanels.bundle from the OS X install. It turns out neither the
combo update 10.5.2 not update 10.5.1 had the relevant bundle present in
CoreServices of /System/Library. So I thought that must not have been
updated, went back to my original Leopard disc, extracted the relevant bundle
with pacifist, installed and solved the problem.
For anyone who had encountered this problem (for eg, this guy here

Here are the steps,
1)Extract, CommonCocoaPanels.bundle from /System/Library/CoreServices of
your leopard install disc using Pacifist to your desktop
2)Go to /System/Library/CoreServices and make a copy of
CommonCocoalPanels.bundle somewhere and then delete it (you will be asked for
administrative privileges)
3) Drag the new one from desktop to the CoreServices directory
4) Fire up Terminal and repair permissions as :
sudo -s
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Coreservices/CommonCocoaPanels.bundle
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Coreservices/CommonCocoaPanels.bundle
5) and finally repair full permission either in the terminal itself or from
disk utility
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

Enjoy the color palette with all its colorful glory!

CyberTaz, thanks for your advice. your response prodded me more towards what
I was planning and it helped solved a month long problem in finding a
solution.

Hi, thanks for your reply....to ask a dumb Q - how do I make a back up, can I use a portable flash or is there an option on the imac? The files are mainly excel and word with a couple of downloads like filezilla. I've burnt all my iphotos - will I loose my itunes imported library too?

Hey Fred--

Did you manually copy and paste the replies from CyberTaz and June Low,
and repost them in this thread? Or did the forum go crazy and do that?

This is your original question:
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Word/2248

I'm trying to figure out whether you created the replies in this thread,
as I see a message from Bob Jones (CyberTaz) that was posted by Fred.
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Office/1640

Thanks,
Daiya
