Support Lifecycle Policy: Please Fix Office 2004

I can't speak for Microsoft, but in the past the practice has been for
MacBU to support the current and previous versions of Mac Office.
Personally I would expect to see MacBU support 2004 with at least
security updates until the next major release of Office. That doesn't
mean they will, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's what they do.

When the next version comes out I will move to it as soon as I can. I'm
happy that VBA will return (hopefully with speed improvements for Intel)
and I am also hopeful the new sharing features that have been talked
about for Windows office will find their way to the Mac. I hope we never
see the awful ribbon thing. We don't need to be dumbed down, I hope.

But judging from the source I don't even think this is a Mac user :-)

To the OP : If I'm right you might contact your ISP, the mfr of your laptop,
or seek assistance from one of the Windows/Internet Explorer groups.

Good Luck |:>)

All of office suddenly deleted during update

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.

Support for Office 2004

That seems true based on Microsoft's web page:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&x=7&y=14&p1=2490

Notice that it says Mainstream support, and that is defined here:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy

To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a hotfix for Mac
Office 2004, and I don't expect one any time soon, if that is what's
worrying you.

Have you been paying for support incidents? You won't be able to pay for
those after 13 October. You'll just have to get it for free elsewhere
(or pay elsewhere).

I don't expect the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles relating to Office
2004 to suddenly disappear on 14 October. They seem to linger almost
forever.

This forum supports 2004 AND 2008, so it's not going anywhere.

What are you worried about losing?

Fonts in Word

Many formatting effects are available on the Formatting Toolbar & even more
can be found in the Formatting Palette of the Toolbox.

As Michel pointed out there are also a number of keyboard shortcuts, some of
which he mentioned in his reply. For more see Word Help on the topic:

Word keyboard shortcuts

Beyond that you can also assign/reassign keystrokes of your choice for
nearly any command in the program.

Well I don't remember clicking the oblong button, but clicking it again seems to bring back my toolbars.

Thanks!

MS will only know if you tell them (this is a peer-support group, not a

Use the Send Feedback command in the Help menu of any of the Office

Thanks again for the replies

I had a look at tech soup and it seems that Tech Soup is specifically
for US non-profit orgs....
" * An organization that has 501(c)(3) status and is not a public
library
* A public library that has 501(c)(3) status
* A public library that does not have 501(c)(3) status"

We are based in Mozambique and are not a public library and do not
have any link to the US (least of all the IRS).
