No, once you submit there's no way to revise. The best approach is to Reply
to your own message - once it appears, which may be a while :-)

As for the Compatibility check you can turn it of in Word via Word>
Preferences - Compatibility, clear the checkbox. Likewise in Excel.

probelms with attaching files and saving files

Posted: 14 Mar 2009 01:31 PM PDT

If you're using gmail you need to check with Google on how to make the
appropriate settings for attachments.

The program originating the document has nothing to do with creating the
attachment. Just make sure you always save your files with filename
extensions using the checkbox for that purpose in the Save As dialog. Its
also a good idea to zip/stuff the file you intend to send as an attachment
regardless of whether it's going to a Mac user or a PC user.

As is Diane, I'm completely baffled by the way you mixed in the "data memory
chip" business. There really isn't any way that normal copying of a file
should cause a change in the file type. If you'll clearly describe exactly
what you're doing perhaps a suggestion can be offered.

Is there a trial version of Office Mac 2008?

Posted: 13 Mar 2009 09:12 AM PDT

Additional to Diane's reply, Office 2008 had more than its share of problems
when it was first released. In all fairness, however, MacBU has worked
continuously to correct & improve the release. The 12.1.0 (SP1) update & the
12.1.5 update have put 2008 on a much more acceptable plane. I'm pretty sure
we'll see at least one more major update before long... But that's just my
impression. Even if I'm wrong there will certainly be additional interim
updates that will continue to make it even more stable & reliable. As you
infer, it has nowhere near the problems as it once had and definitely not as
bad as many would have you believe :-)

It depends on your requirements & need for macros since VBA is not supported
at all - nor will it be added to this version. It has already been
announced, however, that Office "Next" will bring VBA back.

Hi Steve,
 

You can create a sandbox on a separate partition/hard drive through
SuperDuper! If you have this application.
 

I suspect that Apple has a fairly strict NDA preventing you from saying
anything about a pre-released software unfortunately :-\

SnapzPro allows you to show dropdown menus. If you send a lot of screenshots
I would check it out. You can even do movies with it.

I think I get the dropdown. Is the folder named Exported in iPhoto?

When I click on the popup menu, it gives me the option to show Albums and
Rolls and Other library or folder. If you don't see that, create a new
Identity in Entourage (no need to enter account info for the test) and see
if the correct menus are showing up. 

Are we talking about using this in Entourage or Word? 

That's usually the case to show updated photos. I was just adding some new
desktop folders and had to go out of that folder and then back to show the
updated photos.

On Print Command program crashes

Posted: 10 Mar 2009 09:20 AM PDT

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully others will benefit from the info :-)

Most people have a tendency to blame the program they're printing from when
printing problems occur, but that's seldom where the problem lies. It just
appears that way because that's where the user witnesses the problem. It's
even more deceptive because they may have no problem printing from other
programs, but different programs call for differing levels of print service
from the OS as well as from the printer.

Glad you managed to get it resolved.

Office 2001 and Mac

Posted: 08 Mar 2009 05:38 PM PDT

According to what you describe you have the *packaging* for Office 2001
(version 9.x) but the disk within is Office X (version 10.x) and what you
originally posted would confirm that since Office X does in fact require OS
X 10.x or later. Office 2001 will not run in OS X except where Classic
(9.x.x) is supported & actively installed.

Somewhere along the line the new version disk got stored in the old version
package - there's no way it could have shipped like that unless the vendor
you bought it from made the switch. Even that would have had to take place
after Office X started shipping. That's not unheard of, I guess, but it
isn't very likely... And if you had tried to install Office X on an OS 9.x
Mac you would have not been able to do so.

If you can't find anyone with a copy, your family could make a .dmg image

Let us know if you want to try this option to go over the steps to create a
disk image that will work.
