office 2008 and 2004 together

Additional to what the others have written: If the corresponding 2004 is
already running & you double-click a .doc or .xls in Finder the file will
open in that version - it's only if the 2004 app *isn't* running that
they'll open in the 2008 version.

Office software available

Posted: 12 May 2009 09:43 AM PDT

Office for Mac & Office for Windows have *never* been identical, nor have
the programs produced for the two ever been identical on a
feature-for-feature basis. I'm guessing that by the "version with the tabs"
you mean Office 2007 which is a Windows-Only radical departure from the UI
traditionally used on either platform.

If you intend to teach that version that's the version you need to have.
Office 2007 will run on the Mac in Boot Camp or using Parallels or VMWare
fusion... All of which require you to have Windows XP or later as well as
the Office 2007 software. Another Mac app called Cross Over - which doesn't
require having Windows installed - may be another option.

Good Luck |:>)

MSO Cross-Grade Licensing From Windows To Mac

Posted: 10 May 2009 10:16 AM PDT

Yeah, the key phrase there is "support services" so I would say that it
"technically" would be a violation. If you're not actively using an Office
app on both systems simultaneously it's more a matter of conscience than
prosecution - I doubt you will be hunted down [although I'm not encouraging
you or anyone else to knowingly violate the EULA].

XML File Converter app not installing

Posted: 07 May 2009 07:22 AM PDT

It isn't clear whether you've actually *installed* the converter. If you
have not yet installed it follow this procedure:

How to Install

To install this download


Print this page if you want to use it as a reference when you are offline.
Quit any applications that are running, including all Office applications,
Microsoft Messenger, and Office Notifications, because they might interfere
with the installation.
Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
Click Download, or click the link for the language version that you want.
Follow the instructions on the screen to save the file to your hard disk. If
you are using Safari, the downloaded file is saved to the desktop unless you
specified a different location in the Preferences dialog box of Safari. To
check your preferences, on the Safari menu, click Preferences, and then
click General.
Double-click the file that you downloaded in step 5 to place the Open XML
File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2 volume on your desktop, and then
double-click the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2 volume to open
it. This step might have been performed for you.
In the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2 volume window,
double-click the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2 application to
start the installation process, and then follow the instructions on the
screen.
If the installation finishes successfully, you can remove the application
installer from your hard disk. To remove the application installer, first
drag the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2 volume to the Trash,
and then drag the file that you downloaded to the Trash.




If you have already installed it but it doesn't run, this is from the
Mactopia Downloads:

If you have trouble installing this download, or using the converter
application after you install it, try the following:


Restart your computer and try installing the download again.
Make sure that the user account you use to authenticate the application
installer is an administrator account. For more information about
administrator accounts, see Mac Help.
If you experience problems opening the converter application after you
install it, make sure that /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office
Converter Support is installed on the startup volume. If it is missing, or
if any of the files listed above are missing, try installing the converter
application again.
If you continue to experience problems opening the converter application
after you install it, restart your computer, or try installing the converter
application again.

Hi all need to know how-to make protectedareas within a document that won't change no matter what!

Posted: 06 May 2009 11:21 PM PDT

ha, i see your point, but i am not really editing html, i am trying to write. in other words, the tags never change, just the text does, for hundreds of these. if i could just lock them into position, i would be fine, but ur right, the nature of processors is that they flow stuff around. isn't there a way to create a form in word, enter the text with editing capabilities, and then spit out the html/text? I guess this would be best done with a web app eh? but then i just have to cut and paste the text into that...hmmmm....

If your complaint is you don't like the color, then that is out of our
control.

I suggest you install Parallels or Vmware and run Outlook under it. There is
nothing on the Mac that is like Outlook at this time.

Entourage is not Outlook

Office for Mac is not a Clone of WinOffice

Safari History Question

Posted: 05 May 2009 11:04 PM PDT

From what I can tell, No, when you clear the History the History.plist file
is cleared & its HistoryIndes.sk is deleted. However you'd do best to
confirm that in the Apple Discussions group that deals with Safari:

Here is the problem. The permissions are being set incorrectly when running the standalone updater.

/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/

drwxrwxr-x 9 root admin 306 May 12 10:12 .
drwxrwxr-x@ 3 root admin 102 May 12 10:16 ..
drwxrwxr-x 20 root admin 680 May 12 10:07 Frameworks
-rwx--x--x 1 root admin 20450 May 12 10:16 Info.plist
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 May 12 10:12 MacOS
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 9 Dec 1 2007 PkgInfo
drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin 102 Dec 1 2007 Plugins
drwxrwxr-x 981 root admin 33354 May 12 10:16 Resources
-rwx--x--x 1 root admin 146 May 12 10:16 version.plist

If I change access permissions on the Info.plist and version.plist files, the applications will open without a problem.
