Problems with Safari

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 04:15 PM PST


My Firefox (v 2.0.0.12) has the same problem, but not for Safari (v 3.0.4
523.12.2). The mess seems to happen in Traditional Chinese web page such as
Yahoo Hong Kong homepage. I've tried to remove font cache and restart. The
mess still exists.

My PowerBook runs on OS X 10.5.2 and the latest Firefox.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks,

Charles

When you do decide to delete it, use "Remove Office". Don't just drag it to
the trash.

Office for Mac 2008 and 2004

In addition to Adam's comments...
What do you mean by compatible? Do you mean a database program by Microsoft
for the Macintosh? If so, there is none, never was, and probably never will
be? If you mean able to read and write to Access databases, then Excel for
the Mac can do that via third party software.

There are several good database programs for the Mac (but none from
Microsoft), FileMaker is one, Panorama (http://www.provue.com/) is another,
so is 4D (http://www.4d.com/)
All are "compatible" with Office in that they can import data from, and
export data to Office for the Mac. Again, what do you mean by "compatible"?

Volume Licence Key

Posted: 20 Feb 2008 02:47 AM PST

Thanks for the reply i'll check those out, yea its not a personal licence im trying to find the licences for the school mac's system we bought the software and three licences first. Since we gained another 10 new macs we needed an extention on the licences. Now we have a licence agreement number and an authorisation number and no volume licence key for each computer. And after three attempts to attain it im slowly finding it hard to contiue this battle for a key.

Opening Word 08 documents in PC

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 04:47 PM PST

Do not change the suffix on a file, or you may 'cause' this problem. The
suffix tells the receiving computer which code is in the file: if it doesn't
match the content, you get this problem.

However, in this case, this is an error on the PC end.

There are some things you can try to help them work around it.

1) Tell the PC user to save the file to a folder before trying to open it.
PC email programs should not allow them to open Word documents directly from
their email, because that's how they get viruses.

2) Make sure you have enabled "Windows Friendly Attachments" if you are
using Apple email. If you are using Entourage, check "MIME" as your
encoding format and "Append Windows File Extensions" as your default for
sending.

3) Before sending your file, Zip it using the Mac "Create Archive" command,
which appears if you right-click the file in the Finder.

4) If the Windows PC is running a version of Word younger than 2007, it
needs a converter to open Word 2008 .docx files. Tell them to download it
from the Microsoft website.

Hope this helps

Copying a picture from a webpage into a word document

Posted: 19 Feb 2008 11:59 AM PST

Thanks, I'll try the drag and drop bit as well as saving the picture. One further question Malke. How do you right click with a Mac?

Last time I used the drag and drop technique, the pictures were not readable by my PC. The problem is that I have a Macbook at home and a PC in my classroom. I want to be able to create documents at home and them use them on my smartboard school.

How to fully uninstall Office 08?

I believe another user mentioned that "Remove Office" did not remove the CD
key in Office 2008. Try deleting these files:

Delete these two files on one of the machines:

~:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:Office 2008:Microsoft Office 2008
Settings.plist

where ~ is your home folder, and

HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2008:Office:OfficePID.plist

files.

When you start an Office app, you'll be asked for a CD Key.

"Cannot Load the Microsoft Office Shared Libraries" Error Message

RESOLUTION The damaged file belongs to the Mac Operating System. To resolve
this problem, follow these steps:
1. Repair disk permissions. Use the Disk Utility to repair and then verify
disk permissions.
2. Restart the system, and then check to see whether all programs start.
3. Apply the latest Apple combo updater. If that fails you will need to do
an "Archive & Install".

You might need to download the combo updater from Apple and run it again
rather than using Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files. Several users have reported this fixed some odd
problems they were having with Entourage. Combo updaters will install on the
same version as they¹re applying‹no need to roll back or do a clean install.

It is recommended that you back up your system prior to installing any
updates.

annoying wrong dateformat

Posted: 17 Feb 2008 01:20 AM PST

No that doesn't work. If I format the cells as dates, it only offers the possibiity 3/14 or 14-Mar and some others but not 14/3.
However, some experimenting led me to the solution. You have to format the cells as a "custom" format, namely dd/mm.
