HD space depletes when I have Office open...

Hi Rebecca,
 

2GB left is really not enough,
I suspect that your Mac is also short on available RAM. When you open
Office, it needs more RAM than what's available and the System has to
create swap files for virtual memory.
That's what's eating up your available space.
That's also why Apple recommends leaving squite some space unused on the
boot drive.

Spotlight doesn't index some DOC/DOCX files

Only the first xxx KB of raw text get indexed. That should only be an
issue for very long documents though.

The Spotlight mdimporter for Office are not installed with Office
itself. Apple installs them (made by MS) with System updates.
I remember that the current ones have a problem, but at this point,
Apple still hasn't released an update.

On top of that, you could have additional Spotlight issues leading to
this.
To workaround a similar issue, I ended up disabling Spotlight indexing
on my Mac, then re-enabling it to force re-index everything.

It took all night :-\

Want to Remove Office 2008 and RE-INSTALL

In addition to Michel's instructions...

Just be aware that you should install 2004 first. Entourage 2008 moves fonts
to a different location disabling the older 2004 fonts. If you install 2004
AFTER 2008 it will just reinstall them.

See this page for more info.

Your Office licenses belong to you and are not bound to a computer. So
long as you have each license installed on not more than just one
desktop and one laptop at a time then you can install it over and over
on any machine.

Hope this helps!

Excel "Not Enough Available Memory or disk space

Posted: 16 Sep 2008 12:43 PM PDT

Thanks. I actually created a brand new account on the computer for her today. So far no problems yet, but then again, these Excel issues seem to go away after a restart or logout. I'm going to monitor for the next few days and see what happens.

It would probably be quicker and almost as cheap to buy Office 2008 Home &
Student version for $124.99 from Amazon. Free Shipping, but not sure if they
can legally ship out of US.

Amazon.com: Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition: Mac OS X:

Note this version does not include Exchange Support. She can also check with
the school to see if they offer student packages for Office.

Cannot Embed Object into Word Document

Posted: 14 Sep 2008 05:08 PM PDT

I'm not sure, but I don't believe that any of those file types are
embeddable - They're essentially "proprietary". I know that you can use
Omnigraffle's File> Export command to generate embeddable file type (such as
PNG) & .zip is a definite No. I would think that LDIFs could be
saved/exported as Text or Excel files.

Other than those options your current method is certainly valid.

How to activate Spelling and Grammar Check in Word

Posted: 14 Sep 2008 04:53 AM PDT

Thank, but that did not work. The Spelling and Grammar check is still grayed out under Word preferences and the spell check isn't working.
 

Downloaded 10.5 update and now Word has been uninstalled.

In most cases, when installation of an update fails part-way through, with
the installer either quitting unexpectedly in the accompaniment of an error
message or exhibiting an indefinite hang necessitating a force-quit, the
result is all or some of the Microsoft Office applications are completely
missing.

The only remedy is to re-install Office from your CD and update. FWIW, this
is not a MS specific problem. It can happen with any update process.

Tip: I suggest stuffing the Office folder prior to updating in case of
problems. Easy to revert to previous install.

MS Project

"We" can't release it because "we" aren't holding it captive :-) This is a
public newsgroup where users support one another.

You're not dealing with MS or MS employees here - "we" are users of the
product just like anyone else. If you want to offer suggestions or comments
to MS use Help> Send Feedback in any of the Office apps.
