Hi Brad -

I sure hope all you folks have been going to the same Apple store - it would
be reassuring to believe that all the misinformation is emanating from only
one source rather than being widespread:-)

Your case sounds a little more involved, so try the method described here:

Microsoft / Word HELP

Posted: 11 May 2008 03:07 PM PDT

In addition to John's helpful advice, we could point out that the Office
2008 help is almost entirely ON-line.

The main reason Microsoft did this was was to enable updates quickly and
frequently. There will be updates coming out for the offline help, but
generally you will get much better results by leaving the help enabled for
online searching currently.

Most users will get much better help this way: the problem with OFF-line
help is that you have to start writing it two years before the product goes
on sale, so the majority of the topics end up being written by someone who
has never seen the finished product.

Those of us trying to work on trains, planes and buses are less well-served,
of course :-) The idea is to eventually have the best of both worlds: to
enable the Help to update its local copy each time it does go on line.
Maybe next time, for that bit...

Hope this helps

Ofice 2008 crash all the time

Posted: 08 May 2008 09:28 AM PDT

Hi Jose:

We just don't have a list: it varies with every point-release of both Mac OS
X and Office.

My "rule of thumb" is "If Apple or Microsoft did not make it, don't run it."
The only exception I make is Adobe Reader. But even some versions of that
don't work right (or haven't in the past).

I also try to stay a version of Mac OS X behind the latest. That way, some
other poor unfortunate gets to find out about the bugs before I do :-) My
days as Crash Dummy are over :-)

Cheers

Office: mac missing box with CD key

The Product Key also called CD Key is on a yellow or bright orange sticker
on the CD package.

The Product ID is given during the Setup Assistant process. The Product ID
will look like this: 11111-130-0001111-12345). It is used to register. Write
this Product ID down or take a screen snap.

When you install, you need the CD Key. Common mistakes...substituting the
letter B for the number 8, the letter O for zero.

If you are using an old version of Office, now might be a good time to
upgrade to Office 2008. Home & Student version of Office 2008 for $129.99
(ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping.)

MSFT will charge you probably $25 plus shipping to get a copy of your old CD
plus you would have to prove your purchased the product.

Thanks for the tip, Diane. I didn't think I had gotten a reply. I'll check this out and post back. Initially, I had problems with my Leopard install (update). Thanks again.

Out of Memory error when attempting Data Merge in Word

Posted: 03 May 2008 07:15 PM PDT

Sadly, it's a known bug. We are waiting on a Service Release from Microsoft
to fix it. I do not know of any work-around other than the one you found.
The service release is currently in testing, and will be released as soon as
it passes.

Word 2008 Margin settings trouble

Posted: 30 Apr 2008 01:26 PM PDT

Just *one* of the influencing factors John is referring to is Widow/Orphan
Control which prevents the first line of a paragraph from being stranded at
the bottom of a page & prevents the last line of a paragraph appearing alone
at the top of a page.

This as well as other formatting renders a net result which you can
interpret as: The margin setting only determines the *limit* to which the
text can go, it doesn't force the content to go that far.

Not to interfere with John's sage advice - he'll provide the specific
guidance you may need - but in addition you may find this article useful:
