Patch Tuesday is for Windows security patches. It has nothing to do with
Mac Office and nothing to do with broken features in any application.
 

You'll be the first to know if you watch the Mactopia website.

Hi Claude!

Office 2008's initial release had serious sync problems that have been
getting addressed with subsequent updates.

Be sure that you update Office 2008 to the latest version, 12.1.0, and
if you're running Leopard be sure to update it to the latest available
update, 10.5.3.

Hope this helps!

Cannot download Service Pack for office 2008

Another good way to check is to use the Activity Monitor (application found
in the Applications/Utilities folder) If you click on the Disk Usage tab at
the bottom you will see a little circle showing space utilized and space
free.

Regardless of what size your drive is, you need approx. 10% free space. This
is space used by the system. More info:

MacTopia not Posting Issues

Posted: 29 May 2008 12:25 PM PDT

All the posts were new. Basically I was repeatedly posting the same question. As I mentioned at the top of this discussion each post was showing up in "My Account" but not in the Word forum.

All of the post were made to the Word forum.

All of the post were using the same identity.

The reason one of these post eventually succeeded is because I used Diane's suggestion and posted via Entourage.

I hope this info helps your team.

Why is Word 2008 taking soooo looong to open?

Posted: 29 May 2008 07:36 AM PDT

Jeffrey,

Just so you know, you're not alone. Word 2008 has some serious
launching issues on my computer as well. SP1 made it a bit better, and
10.5.3 made it better still, but even so, Word will sometimes take
over 30 seconds to launch on my late model 17" MBP. Evidently, it's an
issue that isn't affecting everyone, but nothing has fixed this issue
completely for me, and it's not widespread enough problem to get any
help from the group (or perhaps others are just more patient than we
are :-). I heard that Office 2008 has some issues with Nvidia GPUs,
and this problem may still be tied into that; I think the Leopard
Graphics Update that came out right after 10.5.2 was the beginning of
the problem, but I didn't have Office 2008 until after that was
released so it's hard for me to be sure. Out of curiosity, are you on
a MBP?

You don't even need to. MyDay or the Office Reminder should be enough to

Question on Installing SP1

Thanks..... I thought it was a combo but wanted to be sure before having
her run the updater. I suggested she download the combo rather than
messing with the MS auto updater. I don't trust the MAU for major
updates. She already has Office 2008 installed and working so we will
skip the reinstall from the CD

I had no problems with SP1 combo updater.

Office 2008 Speed/Issues: Post SP1

Hi Doug -

You might want to check the Apple Downloads. There are a number of firmware
updates & others that may apply to your system configuration. I can't say
for sure because: my MBP hadn't exhibited the problem, I have applied he
ones appropriate for my config, and I refuse to move from 10.5.0 until Apple
shows me a stable update... Maybe 10.5.3... Or 4... Or 5:-)

I believe that MS is dependent on Apple for this as well, so when it will be
resolved is anyone's guess. I'm not sure what you mean by "a bit now" re SP1
- it was released the 14th of May, and 2 weeks in 'techno-time' amounts to a
fraction of a second in real time:-) I wouldn't even start looking for an
SP2 for another 3 months or expect to see it for another 3 beyond that.
There may be some interims along the way, but anything major is unlikely.

Open Microsoft Office 2007 files Using Mac Software

Posted: 26 May 2008 07:50 AM PDT

Hi Nicolas,

WinOffice 2007 and MacOffice 2008 use the same new file format for
Excel/PPT/Word files, so those should move over (although there are many
features in Word/XL/PPT 2007 that are not supported in Mac 2008, depends
on how complex your files are). Note also that MacOffice does *not*
include Access, Publisher, Visio, etc.

However, you are interested in mail, directory, tasks. Does that mean
you will be moving from Outlook? That's a little more complicated.
Entourage is the Outlook alternative on the Mac, but the two programs
are *not* equivalent. You should start with the information here:
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/cross_platform/win_mac.html

Further questions should be searched/asked in the Entourage newsgroup.
http://www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Entourage/

It is better to start a NEW thread so that you get information specific
to your issue, than to add on to an existing thread.
