As do I at this very moment:-) I'm not convinced that the EULA isn't
somewhat in need of updating for exactly the reason you imply - people work
differently today than they did 10-15 years ago. In order for me to do much
of what I need to do it is necessary for me to have *at least* 2 licensed
copies of any given version... In fact, I have 6 licenses for Office 2008,
and I'm a one man band (although my wife does write a letter now & then):-)

Office 2008 vs 2004 features

Posted: 04 May 2008 07:48 PM PDT

To piggy back on CyberTaz, the default file format for 2008 is
completely different than 2004. 2008 uses XML with an x at the end of
the file extension name. You can save in traditional format on a
per-file basis in 2008 or set the preferences to always use tradiitional
format (doc, ppt, and xls).

Problems after installing Office 2008 for mac

Thanks, Diane. I'll give it a try!

Different Version Numbers for Excel, Word,PPT - Updates not working?

Posted: 01 May 2008 10:55 AM PDT

That sounds right, as it the same versions I have on my machine. Not every
update updates all Office applications, so the application version number
does not change for all applications with each update you install.

You can go to /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/, and "Get Info" on
the "Microsoft Component Plugin". That file is updated after each update,
so the version number should be the version number of the last update
successfully installed.

CRASH - adding a footnot

Posted: 01 May 2008 03:45 AM PDT

Well, I've found a partial fix. The problem is related to language support (I use a US version). I was working with a papet in italian. I set the default language as "English US", and everything looks working now. Still, I have not tried the spell checker. The forum where I found the reply suggest that a foreign language support should work after that.

I fully understand - but not everyone is as intrepid as your esteemed
self:-) It isn't so much a matter of preserving customizations as it is the
fact that it scares the livin' bejeezus out of many people to go digging
into the file cabinet with a carving knife. If you can stay within your
comfort zone to get it done, why not?;-)

Office Applications won't print

You are right, I think it is a driver issue. When I specified a different printer, I was able to print normally.

Thanks!

Using Office 2004 and Office 2008 on the Same Computer

The Office 2008 installer asks if should remove previous versions at the end
of the installation. If you say no, then the previous version will be remain
installed. You can run both 2004 and 2008 versions of the programs as the
same time if you wish EXCEPT you CAN NOT do this with Entourage. Entourage
2008 rebuilds the database and 2004 can no longer read it.

The other caveat is that when you double click a file the 2008 version of
the app will run. To run the 2004 version, simply open it and then use the
file menu to open a file.

Changing preset defaults in Mac Word

Posted: 29 Apr 2008 09:56 AM PDT

Keep in mind that not everyone works through the same interface - in fact,
most of us use newsreaders instead. The "title" to which you refer is only
seen by those who visit through that same interface. The SUBJECT of the post
- seen by everyone - simply reads "Changing preset defaults in Mac Word".

Your decision to *reply* to a post that had already been answered leaves
your request unidentified beyond what the subject states. Since the subject
matter of your inquiry was in no way related to the original topic it is
fruitless to assume that there were any other similarities. It's also quite
common for users of PC Office to post in the Mac groups, not to mention that
having posted to the Office group there was no indication of which program
in the suite your "templates" pertain - at least 3 of the 4 programs use
several different types of template files.

Any "attitude" in a written message is inferred by the reader, and if you
find a request for important detail offensive when someone is offering to
assist I doubt you'll have much luck anywhere else either. Wherever you
choose to ask you'd do well to familiarize yourself with newsgroup
etiquette, the use of which which would obviate such misunderstandings in
the first place. Suggested guidelines are available here if you'd care to
have a look;

Creating keyboard shortcuts for applications

There are several third party applications (some free) like LaunchBar,
Butler, QuickSilver that will do what you want. Check Version Tracker
<http://www.versiontracker.com> for download links.

For example, in Launchbar, I type my shortcut command\ that brings up
Launchbar. I then type in "wo" and word opens. These applications are great
timesavers.
