Reading Word 2007 Windows files in WordX?

Posted: 24 Apr 2008 02:58 AM PDT

Very many thanks, CyberTaz, the job is now done and dusted!

A most helpful reply. I must confess that, alas, I've always found the MS websites more than a little user hostile and totally illogical so that's probably why I couldn't find what I wanted.

But I can rest easy now. Thanks again.
 

Help!!

Sorry, but why can't you get to Preferences? It's not in Word, it's a
directory on your computer. Search for each of the individual files I
listed using spotlight - you can find them that way if you prefer.

Setting .doc default to .doc, not .dox

Word> Preferences> Save, choose Word 97-2004 Document (.doc) from the Save
Word files as: list - just keep in mind that you'll be constantly working in
Compatibility Mode which will prevent the use of some of 2008's features.

Look in word preferences for auto-correct. You can exclude address book

Copied and pasted docs have odd spacing

Well it depends on where you paste in the document. If the style there
says double-line, that's waht you get. It's a "paste and adapt to local
style".

Do you get the same thing pasting in a paragraph with a style set on
single-spacing??

Deployment of Entourage 2008 by itself

Posted: 21 Apr 2008 05:08 PM PDT

Hi Alan:

Well, there are no "dependencies" as such. But the way Office is
constructed, whichever single application you install, you will get the
majority of Office installed. There is a very high level of commonality.

Each "Application" is to a certain extent just a "User Interface", and they
all use the same engine and gearbox modules :-)

However, you do not need to worry about this, provided you allow the
Installer to do the install for you. It will install all the correct bits,
regardless of what you install.

As of this moment, the file compatibility issues are NOT resolved, and some
of them are ugly!

Entourage 2008 will work well, but I would leave the other applications on
the shelf at least until the first service pack comes out :-)

Ensure that the user cannot start two versions of Entourage at the same
time, or all hell breaks loose :-) 'Rage 2008 upgrades the database, after
which 2004 can't read it :-)

So just delete the 2004 app AFTER the 2008 install to make sure they can't
start it.

Once you install the other applications, they will take over the file
associations (double-click) on the user's machine, and you cannot repossess
it. But the versions themselves will run side-by-side without a problem.
Just inform the users that if they want to open a file in the 2004 version,
they will need to start the application and then use File>Open from the
menu, or the document will open in the wrong version.

I would leave 2004 installed for the next two years at least. Your users
will need it :-)

Cheers

Check the settings for "Secure Connection SSL". Under Receiving Options,
Advanced.

You may have it ON when it needs to be OFF.

SNP Files

Posted: 18 Apr 2008 03:04 PM PDT

Yeah, I don't even know of a suitable alternative on a Windows box to read
..snp files, let alone anything on the Mac... And Snapshot Viewer (like most
'viewer' apps) can't save in any kind of format.

Your best bet is to get them on a Windows box, open 'em in Snapshot Viewer &
capture 'em with a good screen capture program that allows you to save in a
format of your choice. Or you may want to consider converters:

And maybe:

What happens when you select the icon in the Dock and select to quit?

You can quit any application in the Activity Monitor found in Utilities.
Select the application and click on the Quit button. If the application is
hung, you can select to force quit.
