If you have your network properly configured, No, you shouldn't have to hop
from one Mac to another:-) You should be able to select, open & print the
docs on one system while working from the other... That's what *networking*

1) First try downloading the combo updater from Apple and run it again
rather than using Software Update. Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files.

2) Use "Remove Office" and re-install and update Office.

If this does not work, you will need to do an Archive & Install of the OS.

The combo updater from Apple overwrites potentially problem-causing files.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they¹re applying‹no need
to roll back or do a clean install.

Thanks for the great help. I think the problem lies in that both computers don't necessarily share all the same fonts. So, the document looked different. I have to dig in and compare the fonts between the two computers now.

Thanks again.

If you have written to the memory stick then most likely you will not

When you have files that are that important and this is the only backup you
have, then shame on you. Duplicating those 6 files would have been
miniscule. Sorry for being tough, but all of this comes from bad practices.
Learn from them so this hard lesson will not have to be repeated.

I see you are on Tiger so do not have Time Machine. I have posted directions
for making a Time-Machine-like backup that can be used on Tiger. It can
backup your data daily or whatever time period you choose. It's automatic so
you never have to worry about this again. Just substitute your Thesis folder
for the Microsoft User Data folder in the tutorial.

This sounds like your base system files are the problem. 

How did you install Leopard? If you updated Leopard did you use the Software
updater or did you download the combo 10.5.2 updater.

1. Upgrade Mac OS X (the default upgrade method)
2. Archive and Install
3. Erase and Install

I would apply the Leopard combo updater. If that does not fix your problems,
then you will need to do an "Archive & Install".

Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update

<http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1052comboupdate.html>

Archive and Install

Make sure to choose the options to maintain your user settings. Once the
install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the disk you
have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.3.3, that's what version of OS
will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate Combo Updater
from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version. After you run
the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any additional
updates.

As long as you know the hoops are an option--many people don't. But you
should let MS know how you feel--there's *no* chance they'll make the
"right" decisions without accurate data on how/why people use Word. 

Oops, it's been discussed in the Word forum, rather than this general
office one. It's a Leopard bug, related to ligatures, is what I came up
with--not sure whether Apple or MS has to fix it, don't think there's
anything you can do. Do send feedback to help raise the priority on the bug.

Problem Changing Image Quality

Posted: 23 Mar 2008 06:09 PM PDT

Hi Bob:

Yeah, that's a pretty standard option setting for the HP inkjets. I have
the same driver here: a chunky little 350 MB of it!

What he did should have worked.

You're right, the latest version of the driver might help. Re-installing
the driver might help. I suspect the PPD has corrupted...

Cheers

update 12.0.1 for office 2008won't install - it says that I don't have thesoftware even though I do

Posted: 23 Mar 2008 04:38 PM PDT

Make sure Spotlight is running and is indexing the folder where Office is
installed, and that Office is in a folder that is on the boot partition.

The updater uses Spotlight to find the software. If Spotlight can't see
Office 2008, it will issue that message.

Hope this helps

Problems installing 12.0.1 update

You have to do more than run the updater. You must "Remove Office" and
follow the steps outlined here:

New installer for 12.0.1

<http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2008/03/new_installer_for_1201.html>

The bits to install are the same so the updater release date was not
changed. However, the actual installer was changed. This fixes some problems
experienced by some users. An analogy is your car is a 2007 Chevy, you were
running on regular gasoline, but now use premium. Same car, same model but a
different agent to run your vehicle.

Word 2008: fonts gone missing (Help!)

Posted: 21 Mar 2008 03:46 PM PDT

Actually, if you see the fonts in Format | Font, you might as well try
recreating your font cache--it might help fix the other font menus. Or
it might not, but it's fairly easy to do:

Quit *all* Office apps.

Find the file [username]/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office
2008/Office Font Cache (12) and drag it to the desktop. Relaunch an app
and see if that helps--it may take a little longer to launch as it
recreates the cache.

Some users have reported crashes until they deleted the accounts in Keychain

You problem seems to be a locked Keychain or problems with permission on

Entourage 2008 with Mac Office 2004

The 12.0.1 updater addressed a problem with Lotus Notes:

Reliability is improved when connecting via IMAP to a server running IBM
Lotus Domino
 

It is never advised to install parts of Office. This could affect future
updates. Just because you install does not mean you have to use them. 

The 12.0.1 fixed several major bugs. Sounds and syncing were the two major
ones addressed. 
If you use VBA, leave Office 2004 installed. If you do not, then trash it
AFTER you are satisfied with Office 2008 using "Remove Office".

Note: Entourage 2008 moves fonts to a different location disabling the older
2004 fonts. If you install 2004 AFTER 2004 it will just reinstall them
causing problems in Office 2008.

You can use both versions of Office applications at the same time except for
Entourage. You can switch between the two, but you must quit daemons and
make sure your mail is set correctly or you will have mail all over the
place.

Excel is also experiencing some problems. I would check on the Excel list
before moving to Excel 08.
