Thanks for the suggestions. I am at 10.5.4 and 11.5.1, but I hadn't run the disk utility in awhile. Nothing came up in the permissions list that was explicitly related to Office, but I'll see what happens.

Which version?

Posted: 25 Aug 2008 10:09 AM PDT

You have no need of the Professional edition of 2004 unless you're using PPC
Macs & intend to run Virtual PC 7 - that's the only difference between
Professional & Standard.

You'd need to contact MS for volume licensing information if it's even still
available for Office 2004 which is no longer in production.

digital certificates in Word Office 2008 for Mac

Hi,

We won't know until the future happens. But you can influence the future
a little bit by sending feedback to Microsoft stating that you are
interested in having digital signature support for Mac Office.

In whichever application it is important to you to have digitally signed
code, please use the Help menu to send feedback to Microsoft.

This particular forum is maintained by Microsoft, but Microsoft
employees rarely read it because it is for peer-to-peer support (mostly
just us customers).

digital certificates in Office 2008 for Mac

Posted: 23 Aug 2008 04:56 PM PDT


Dear Sir.

Thanks for responses.

"The e-mail (and it's attachment) will be signed, but as
soon as the attachment is saved on the Mac, the copy you have there has
no trace of the digital signature. "

Yes ! And Entourge Mac support digital signing and encrypting.

The problem is Word and Excel for Mac.

My question is about digital certificates in Office 2008 for Mac in Word and
Excel

Is possible sign a Office Word or Excel Mac document whit a digital
certificate ?

MacBU have digital signatures in roadmap for Mac Word and Excel ?


Thanks

Manuel silva

Downloading Clipart from Clip Gallery Live

Posted: 23 Aug 2008 12:57 PM PDT

See my reply to your other post. You don't have to do anything to "download
as .cil" - it's automatically *sent* that way. The problem is that some
Browsers *strip* the .cil extension or replace it with something else during
the download. There's nothing you can do to prevent it... Other than using a
different Browser & complaining to the developer of whatever Browser
presents the problem :-)

Is the iMac an older computer? As I described in the blog article, the

I would test downloading in a new User to eliminate any corruption in your
User's folder.

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Test downloading
without making any changes. If it fails, try the OpenDNS settings.

This has been an extremely frustrating problem for some users. Makes you
want to throw the computer out the window. :-)

Problems with updates

Posted: 22 Aug 2008 09:58 AM PDT

Loaded Office to a clean install of Mac O.S. on a MacBook Air.

[Zeroed hard drive partition,
Booted from the Mac OS Install disk, etc.]

Installed Office,
Office checked for updates,
Ran the updater,
which locked up
and required Force Quit.
Restarted the computer,
Ran Disk Utility,
Correct Permissions,
Restarted,
Ran updater from Word,
Installed properly,
Seams to work fine.

Questions,
Has anyone else seen this?
What is the most likely cause?

What probably went wrong?

While I will be restoring the pre - office disk image,
It would still be helpful to know issue.
Many Thanks,

David

Word does not respond when trying to print

Posted: 22 Aug 2008 02:18 AM PDT

Unless you're just using this as an excuse to get a fancy new printer ;-)
you might contact Brother Support directly. They may be able to provide a
solution - for example, sometimes the driver for a different model works.

Good Luck |:>)

Try checking for corrupt fonts. You can find a detailed procedure at the

Using the same cell

Posted: 20 Aug 2008 12:31 PM PDT

I think you may be confusing what a cell *displays* with what it actually
*contains*. There's also the distinction to be made between a *value* & the
result of a formula. If a cell contains a value, that's what it displays,
but if the cell contains a formula it displays the result of the formula.

What the cell actually contains (or stores) along with how you paste
determines what winds up in the cell you paste to.

If a cell contains a value the regular copy/paste action results in that
same value being pasted to & displayed in the target cell.

OTOH, If the cut/copied cell contains a formula the formula is what gets
pasted by default. That introduces the matter of Relative as opposed to
Absolute cell references in the formula as well as the distinction between
copying as opposed to cutting. Additionally, there is the availability of
the Edit> Paste Special options.

All of this information is available in Excel Help & the online tutorials.
It may be worth your while to review that information before you go any
further. Quite honestly - no insult intended - but I really can't tell from
your description what you're starting with or what you're trying to do with
it, so it's difficult to offer any suggestions. Perhaps if you have a more
comprehensive understanding of the program you'll be able to better
determine how to most effectively do what you need to do.

If you still have any questions please try to describe your data & state
your objective more clearly using specific examples. I'm certain someone
will be glad to lend a hand :-)

Many thanks Corentin! I followed your instructions and the update went through smooth in less than a minute. Right afterwards I could update to 12.1.2 just as smooth! Thanks again...

Update of Office 2008 12.1.1 to 12.1.2

Posted: 18 Aug 2008 11:11 AM PDT

Have you by any chance moved/removed any of the Office 2008 folder's
content? If you have - either manually or by using a utility that gets rid
of "unnecessary files" - I'm afraid reinstalling is your only option. If you
haven't reinstalling should not be necessary...

Here are 2 suggestions form another poster whose situation was similar
to yours:

====================================

Another member of the Mac user group I
am with has provided me with the answer to my problems regarding the above
error message.

You need to repair permissions with Disk Utility, then make sure that the MS
Office folder's permissions are set as follows: User: Read & Write; admin:
Read & Write and Everyone: Read Only. Permissions should be the same for all
contents of that folder.

Another option is to move all MS preference files to the desktop
temporarily, then run the installer. Restore the preferences to their
original location after installation.

====================================

Another approach if neither of those work:

-- Download the update from MS --Right click on the update file and click
"Show Package Contents" --Navigate to Contents -> Resources --You need to
modify the script: package_updatable. Remove these lines using Text Edit:

if not found_valid_version: sys.exit(48)

--Save then close. Now it will update.
