Uninstall 2008 Student ver. - reinstall Standard ver

Posted: 04 Jul 2008 06:23 AM PDT

Diane - never mind and thank you. I used Finder and found the Remove Office applet and then emptied the trash. Can you confirm that if I buy the Standard edition of Office 2008 for Mac, I will be able to use my Microsoft exchange server hosted by Intermedia for Entourage email. Thanks again for the reply. - Kevin

Change hyperlink default?

Sorry, that answer only concerned Entourage. For Word, go to Tools >
AutoCorrect. Under the "AutoFormat as You Type" tab, uncheck "Internet
paths with hyperlinks", and click OK.

For Excel, preface the link with an apostrophe/single quote ('). Then, the
URL will not turn into a hyperlink automatically.

Looking for a full version of Office 2001 soI can install my 2004 update

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 07:18 AM PDT

It sounds like what you have is an *upgrade* package of 2004 rather than the
full version. I would first look into having the vendor exchange it for the
full version (which will of course be more expensive) rather than investing
in an older version which won't even run on your Mac. Granted you do only
need it to install the upgrade but other than that 2001 is worthless to you.

If you do have to obtain an older version your best bet is to Google for it.
It's no longer produced so it won't be available from regular etailers -
Ebay is the most likely source. Just make sure you're getting the *complete*
package including the Product Key(s).

Network files Opening read only

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 04:00 AM PDT

EDIT:

Office files will only open as read only, but PDFs, jpg etc all open with no errors. SBS server has appletalk enabled, and the Macs can navigate shares with no issues.

Sorry... rechecked my post

Office does not play nice with Spaces

Posted: 02 Jul 2008 05:56 PM PDT

I have similar problems with Adobe applications and Spaces. I have Spaces
turned off and use this method to hide applications.

Click on the Dock icon while holding the Option and Command keys. All
applications except that application will hide.

Have you tried the Apple combo? Doing so overwrites potentially
problem-causing files. Several users have reported this fixed some odd
problems they were having with Office. Combo updaters will install on the
same version as they¹re applying‹no need to roll back or do a clean install.

Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update

Online Cliparts can not be imported.....

I'm afraid you're wasting your time posting messages here for anything
pertaining to modifications to Office or any other MS software for Mac. This
is a user-to-user support newsgroup & isn't monitored by anyone from MS - at
least not for that purpose.

If you want your suggestions/requests/complaints to be seen by anyone in a
position to effect change use Help> Send Feedback from within the
appropriate program. That registers your comments in the MS database which
is maintained for exactly that purpose, & that's where it will be reviewed.

I believe it was SP1 they added the ability to open both versions of
Entourage at the same time. Using both at the same time is counter
intuitive. Mostly it's just nice to see your old setup when you make the
transition or to use it for sync. Entourage 2008 sync has problems.

Transferring Office 2008 from PowerPC to Intel

Posted: 30 Jun 2008 09:22 AM PDT

Office 2008 is a Universal installer. Unless you have used something like
Xslimmer to remove code you can just drag it over. However, I would Install
from the CD so all files, fonts, Automator actions, sync importer files get
installed.

You can copy over your Dictionary file in your preferences/Microsoft folder.

Tips for a good install:

Quit all applications (Easy way: log out/in with Shift key down to disable
any startup items.)

Install Office 2008 from your original installation disk.
Restart
Update to 12.1.0 (SP1)**
Restart
Update to 12.1.1
Restart
Run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility.

***After installing from the original install disk, the AutoUpdater will
want to update itself. Let it update. When you see the AutoUpdater in the
Dock, select to "keep in Dock" for the install process. Do not update
further. Restart then run the AutoUpdater to let it install SP1. Restart
then use your installer for 12.1.1 . Restart.
