MacOffice2008 - Word User Interface is in Chinese

Posted: 06 Mar 2008 10:30 AM PST

Did that computer have a copy of the Office 2004 Test Drive version in
Chinese on it?

Did you select to "Remove" it when you installed 2008? If not, run Remove
Office and remove it now.

The copy of Office 2008 you bought: Is that from Microsoft, or is it a
bootleg?

The reason I ask is that the English version of the DVD does not contain the
Chinese dialog boxes you are seeing, but the Chinese version does :-)

Hope this helps

Hi Diane:

You rotten thing :-) I haven't a clue.

I have sent this one off to Curt Laird, the Microsoft Software Development
Engineer in charge of bug hunting in Word.

I am hoping for an answer in a few hours.

Solver in Microsoft student

Posted: 04 Mar 2008 06:38 PM PST

There is no Solver in any version of Office 2008. It was a VBA add-in and
is no longer available because of the lack of VBA support in Office 2008.

If you want to see this functionality back in another form, be sure to send
the feature request to Microsoft. Click on this direct link to enter Mac

Moving from a PCC to Intel involves changes. Using Migration Assistant might
not be the best solution. I haven't make the change myself, but I would
start on a new computer with a fresh install. No old baggage to clutter up
my new machine.

I defer to those that have made the change and used MA.

How can you re install office 2004 ?

Re-installing Office 2004 after Office 2008 will overwrite the new fonts
installed by Office 2008.

If you want to download the individual updaters see this page:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/mactopia_dl.html>

Office 2008 Font Install:

Office 2008 uses a different method for fonts and many fonts are new
versions. Office 2008 will install fonts to the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft
folder. By being at the root, then all users on the machine have access to
them and you don't get Office 2008 putting multiple copies on the machine
for each user.

The installer will scour /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ for fonts with
the same name and move them to /Library/Disabled Fonts/ or
~/Library/Disabled Fonts/ depending on where they were found.

Hi Miranda:

I am not sure what is going on there.

The latest update for Office X is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fea9fd8a-ea16-4b3c-
9381-18a389d5599a&displaylang=en

I don't think this is the problem, but download it and run it.

Make sure you have the latest Apple updates applied also.

Then tell us what happens. We may have a bit of a hunt to find this one --
sorry.

Cheers

Licensing - Per User or One At A Time?

Posted: 03 Mar 2008 07:49 AM PST

Thanks for sharing--there is no Office for Mac Pro for 2008, and the
site doesn't list Office for Mac Special Media Edition--and to be
honest, I'm not 100% sure that Expression Media and Office are going to
have the same license terms. But it's probably Office that's essential
anyhow, and the Office for Mac Standard 2008 license will apply to the
Office for Mac inside the Special Media edition box.

Then you need to do as it says: Login to the computer as the Administrator.

If you believe you ARE an administrator on the computer in question, then
try using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the boot drive.

The patch is trying to run the Apple Installer program, and your computer
either won't let the installer start, or will not allow the installer to
write where it needs to.

Is it possible to limit length of the list offonts in MS Office 2004 programs?

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 12:29 PM PST

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't solve the problem. It's not just Word that has the long font lists. All the Office programs have these long font lists. The Word/Excel/PowerPoint font list includes fonts that are not "enabled", that is, it includes fonts not in the various libraries, but are located elsewhere on the hard drive. Office searches them out and list them. I would prefer to work with fonts the way I want to and the way other word processors on the Mac work.

Office 2008 Deactivation

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 12:22 PM PST

Yes, you are correct on both counts.

Microsoft Mac software does not yet employ the high-encryption software
activation needed on Windows. Apparently, Mac users are less likely to
steal software than Windows users, so Microsoft has not switched activation
on.

The procedure on Windows is not at all painful :-) Most of the time,
Activation will simply work. The software will automatically prompt to
activate as soon as you launch it when you are on the Internet. It takes a
few seconds, and that's all there is to it.

The only time you have to make a phone call is if authentication fails.
Which it can if you make a major change to the hardware after installing.
Then it's no big drama (well, the hardware failure may be, if it's your hard
disk that died...) but the Microsoft Activation Centre will just read you
back a new activation key and you're good to go.

Of course, if someone has bought a bootleg copy, they will have a problem
:-)

Hope this helps
