If you mean Universal Access Management, it is supposed to be implemented in
Java, so it may work on the Mac. But you will have to go to the vendor to be
sure. In any case it has nothing to do with Microsoft Office.

insert row/column command dim on Excel Toolbar

You don't say which version, but in both XL04 and XL08 there are two
different Insert Row/Column buttons. Likewise two delete buttons.
Unfortunately, they use the same icons, and its only in the description
in the Customize dialog that the distinction is made clear.

The Insert/Delete buttons from the Edit category are only applicable to
lists managed by the List Manager.

The Insert/Delete buttons from the Insert category are applicable to
normal worksheet rows/columns.

MacFixIt Special Report on Office slow to launch

I tried the Fix, but I see no improvement whatsoever on my Mac.
It all started with 10.5.2 for me actually. I suspect that there is a
nasty interaction with this version of the system and WYSIWG font menus
are not related to the problem.

If you receive a framework error, re-apply recent updates. A framework error
normally means one or more components of Office have not been updated
correctly and are now out of synch with other bits.

center text on page

Posted: 28 Feb 2008 09:01 AM PST

Hi John -

The instructions you were reading pertain to centering an Object (such as a
picture) on a "page". But you're right - Help needs Help:-) The current
state of Help within Office 2008 (if that's what you're using) is
deplorable, but MacBU is working diligently to correct the situation "as we
speak". You should start seeing some improvement before long if you have an
active internet connection accessing online Help:-)

As to your current dilemma: It isn't *hard* to do, but based on how the
program works it isn't "simple" either. The first thing to accept is that
Word has no concept of a "page" - Word only knows a text flow, and it
expects the flow of that text to be consistent from beginning to end. You
want to make an exception to that flow:-)

What you're looking to do is change the Page Setup mid-stream. That's gonna
require the use of a Next Page Section Break (rather than a regular or a
forced page break) both before & after the content you want centered on a
page. Click in that section, go into Page Setup - Layout & change the
Vertical Alignment to Center.

Have a look at the following article - it's PC-Flavored, but pertains
equally to Mac Word:

2008 Microsoft AutoUpdate??

Posted: 27 Feb 2008 08:18 PM PST

Hi aRKay - see below:

I was just yankin' yer chain :-)
 

Understandable, but choosing it from the Help menu is basically the same as
running it manually - pretty much like a button or an alias/shortcut.
 

I doubt that every scintilla that distinguishes 2008 from 2004 is even
documented - let alone easy to locate... at least not for the typical user.
I happened upon it coincidentally myself.
 

I've always done the same. I set it for Monthly & just decline on
notification if I have any doubts about the update. Once I'm confident I
just hit the menu command. I don't believe I've *ever* launched AU directly. 

About that I have no idea - had not experienced that. I wonder if 10.5.x is
exhibiting different behavior? My search for autoupdate just turns up the
typical listing in 10.4.11 - it doesn't launch.
 

I suspect that most don't even give it a thought - and those that do
probably just consider it a "feature" within the Office apps.

Unstalling Office 2008 completely

Posted: 27 Feb 2008 07:12 PM PST

I also am a new user and I would like to completely uninstall Office 2008.
I installed it and now may Safari fonts are messed up. I tried the Remove Tool. All it did was delete some files but left all the icons in the dock so i don't think it was a thorough uninstall. It didn't undo the damage it did to Safari fonts

Word, Excel, PP crash on start, Entourage OK - MS Office 2004 Mac

Posted: 26 Feb 2008 11:02 PM PST

Sorry for the duplication - 'Reply' sets post for bottompost


Hi John:

Thanks for the excellent link, I will go through the list and see if
it helps.
I have a sneaking suspicion it is something to do with fonts - another
user on this computer has a habit of downloading (from G_d knows
where) and carelessly dragging new fonts into whatever Font Folder
they find first. I think I have found (this forum) the list of fonts
not to delete - they have to be in the Office folder, not the
computer's Fonts folders, yes? Or do we also have to have a matching
set of the same fonts in one of the computer's Fonts folders?

I am a bit confused by the issue of updates - the last update
installed on this computer was 11.3.5 0 AutoUpdate says there are no
updates needed but one of the reference articles here said that Office
2004 should be updated to 11.4.0 - which advice do you advise I
follow?
Again, G4 PowerPC (Sawtooth AGP), Mac OSX 10.3.9, Office 2004.

I am not an Office tech expert by any means, though it seems I know a
lot more than the other users. They don't seem to keep the install
disks anywhere around,so I'd rather err on the side of caution.

Thanks again for all the help.
Lis

Ehhh, I don't think he's looking for a Hyperlink solution John:-) although
that may be the only option.

PC Office 2007 lets you go to any image's, SmartArt's or (supposedly) any
other object's Properties and assign Alternative Text without having to
Hyperlink it to anything. I don't think that made it into 2008.

Office 2008 "Office Installer" could not be opened

Posted: 26 Feb 2008 02:03 PM PST

Thanks. But, it seems to be an installer issue. I was able to install just fine on my iMac. But, no go on the MacBook Pro. I'm not able to install pkg flies either. I think for some reason I'm missing the Apple Installer that is supposed to be on OS X. So, I think I have a little bigger problem that I stumbled upon while trying to install Office 2008.

Thanks again for you suggestions.

Select one of the old files. Do a Get Info. Select Office 2008 application

Garbled files indicates font cache problems. I would restart first after
making the above change. If you continue to see the problem, then use a font
cache cleaner.

FYI....

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.

Office 2008 & Video Problem

Posted: 25 Feb 2008 08:11 PM PST

I tried a second monitor and got the same results. I expect that if it's not
related to the installation of Office that it's a video card problem. Guess
I'll have to take it in.

In addition to John's comments, if you want the recipients to see the doc as
you created it & they don't have to (or *shouldn't* be allowed to) edit it,
send them a PDF instead... and I sure hope your resume wasn't in ALL CAPS if
you had any hopes of being invited for an interview.

Re-installing 2004 on iMac PPC 800Mhz

Posted: 25 Feb 2008 07:48 AM PST

Hi Diane,
This was not the problem. I finally tracked it down to a Carbon Framework (CFMApp would not launch)problem, which could not be fixed. In the end I have had to erase my hard drive and re-install the system and Office.
I don't really know why the problem arose in the first place.
