If you don't have any data to move over, you just install and update. If you
don't have classic you can't install Office 98. Why would you want the older
version if you have Office 2004?

Sorry but this is really confusing.

Envelopes will not print.

Then the most likely cause is that Word> Preferences> Print has no check in
the box for Drawing Objects. Both the Delivery & Return addresses are
contained in Text Boxes which are Drawing Objects.

Restore the check by way of the route mentioned above & you should be OK.
Alternatively you can get there through File> Print> Copies & Pages>
Microsoft Word> Word Options.

Office does license checking on the local network. If another computer
is using the same serial number you are, you get this warning. Obviously,
someone on the local library network is using your serial number. Did
anyone ever borrow your install CD? Any chance someone ever had a chance
to take a look at it and copied the serial number?? I've never ever seen
this problem arise unless someone was indeed using the same SN.





 





Well you need to tell us at least what application, and in what context??
Is it checking your e-mails for instance?

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Universal Access.

Hi Corentin,

Thanks for replying so promptly.

1. Unfortunately I am still having trouble accessing word at the library - the message has stated the names of two others using it, on two separate occasions. I have never given my licence number to anyone. Is it possible that these other people purchased their computers from the same second-hand dealer who has used the same serial number? From what you said that seems to be the case but if you later find out any other solution for me that would be great.

2. As for the message asking for key chain prompt - it comes up in different circumstances, including while I've been using email. I have noticed that it tends to come up when I'm on the internet and I change websites.

3. Got the Voiceover off, thank you!

Hi,

The interface will always be slightly different, as the Mac version is
slightly different. Most notably, the Mac has menus and palettes
compared with the windows ribbon.

The Mac interface is highly customizable. You can move tools and
commands around to your liking. On the View menu choose Customize
Toolbars and Menus. Also investigate each applications preferences. When
that dialog box is open everything is fair game. Add, remove, move
around all the toolbars and menu items. You can make your own toolbars
from scratch if you don't want to mess with the built-in ones.

I'm willing to bet if you do your own customizations that you will find
that you can create a working environment that is better for you than
the default interface for either Mac or Windows Office.

-Jim

Auto Update Problem

If you have tried all the other solutions, then I would look to borrow the
install CD. Since you have added onto this thread, I have no clue what you
have actually tried. It's always best to start your own thread with details

Low level errors like -15 indicate disk problems. Be sure you run Disk First

Sharing documents

Posted: 27 Aug 2008 11:04 AM PDT

Although Mickey's point is valid I'd humbly suggest a different approach :-)

Any version of Win Office 2000 or later should have no problem opening OXML
files if the users have properly maintained their software via updates. The
OXML Converters can also be downloaded separately. IMHO, it's unfair to
expect you to sacrifice many of the features of 2008 by saving in the prior
format in order to "dumb down" your documents to their level.

If email recipients are having problems of the type you describe it's more
likely the result of one or more of several other causes... The most
probable of which is that the email system on their end is hacking your
attachments to bits because that email system hasn't been configured
properly - something over which neither you nor they have any control.

In order to [help] avoid the problem make sure you have the check in place
to Append File Extensions in the Save As dialog and always zip the files
before attaching. Also, based on your prior successes it isn't likely to be
wrong, but check your email software's settings for encoding attachments -
it should be MIME/Base64 or Windows Friendly or something similar.

You should also be conscientious about what fonts you use. Not all on either
platform translate well to the other side.

Finally, suggest to your WinTel pals - gently but firmly - that they stop
double-clicking (opening) *attachments*, but instead Save the file to their
HD then open the actual *file* that's created there. [Zipping helps force
them to do exactly that :-)]
