Solicit for your paid support service elsewhere. This is where users can
obtain the support they need without having to purchase it -- especially
since most of the assistance needed is not all that "technical" in the first
place... being reminded of the Remove Office utility supplied with the
Office software hardly justifies a $23 fee.

Office, Mac, and Font Management

Hi Stephen;

No disrespect intended, but I believe you may be misinterpreting what the
article is saying. The actions taken actually help *avoid* font issues by
relocating only those fonts for which newer, more complete versions are
being installed. Those versions are older, out of date & can eventually
cause problems regardless of whether Office is ever installed, but the
installation is replacing them with newer, more robust versions of the same
font. The fact that you had only the one font relocated should actually be
rather comforting :-)

Also, there's nothing in OS X that "automagically" manages fonts -- if there
were, most of what Office moves wouldn't be there in the first place. The OS
permits anyone & any program to install whatever fonts they want - including
variations on the same ones. OS X does include the Font Book utility
application but it's up to the user to run it as they see fit.
Unfortuantely, most users don't even know of its existance, let alone how to
use it. Second only to graphics I believe fonts & font management is the
least understood aspect of general computer usage. As a result, many users
create their own problems by grabbing fonts from anywhere they can obtain
them [free] in addition to those installed by many of the apps they
buy/try/beg/borrow/steal. Not going off on that tangent, however, the point
is that most of those sources *do not* do the "housekeeping" service that
Office provides, so the system winds up with as many as half a dozen
different variations of the same font. Conflict is inevitable.

Also, the alternative to not install the new fonts is offered as an
*option*, not as advice or recommendation. IMHO, the only people who should
exercise that option are those who are under mandate to use specific
versions of specific fonts & aren't permitted to deviate from them... But
those folks probably don't have the latitude to do their own installations
to begin with.

Product Keys / Installation / Reinstallation

Posted: 20 May 2009 11:13 AM PDT

> Hi Stephen, 

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. Indeed, it clears up the ambiguity for me; I was imagining that, as with Office for Windows, Microsoft knew about which product key was being used to activate the software.

Best regards,

Stephen

This is the file that shows the correct update. I'm guessing your workaround
to get updated failed.

Follow these steps to reinstall:

* Launch the Microsoft Autoupdater (MAU).To launch MAU, you can open any
Office application and select "Check for Updates" under Help in the Menu
bar. Once MAU is launched, select "Keep in Dock"
* Quit all Microsoft applications (Easy way: log out, hold Shift key down
when logging in to disable any startup items.) Be sure all applications are
quit before running updater. IMPORTANT
* Drag the Microsoft Office 2008 folder to the Trash.
* Empty Trash.
* Reinstall Office 2008 from your original installation disk.
* Restart
* Select MAU, Update to 12.1.0 (if you have a newer DVD you might only need
the 12.17)
* Restart (restarting before you launch any app is important!)
* Update to 12.1.7
* Restart

Check this file after updating to 12.1.0 to be sure it is version 2.2.0.

Endnote Docking in MS Word

I have the same version and indeed, you cannot Dock it. It's by design
unfortunately. The toolbar is part of the EndNote add-on and cannot
integrate all the way with the other Word buttons.

Additional to Diane's reply: This is by no means official as I don't use
Spaces to begin with, nor have I seen any statements from MS or Apple on the
subject, but there have been numerous inferences from a variety of sources
that the recent update release (10.5.7) of OS X Leopard has corrected the
Spaces issues.

License Issues

I can't speak for your specific license, but in many cases the
two-installation limit states one desktop and one laptop for one
person's use. What you're doing (sharing the copy with your wife) may
already be a violation, and probably isn't going to work if you're both
using laptops.

On the other hand if you purchased one of those versions that contains
three licenses, you need to register each one with a separate license
key.

can't install office 2004 update version 11.5.0

Posted: 16 May 2009 04:21 AM PDT

I had the same problem as nancybee. I'm trying to install 11.5.0, which appears to be the earliest version I can install (I tried installing all the later versions and worked my way down to 11.5.0). When I do as you suggested, my AutoUpdate tells me there is nothing to install. I also have Safari, so I should be ok to install. Any ideas? Thanks.
 

Customization and gripes on Office 2008

Posted: 15 May 2009 06:48 AM PDT

The term Formula Bar refers to the entire bar which includes 3 segments
beginning with the Name Box on the left end. The segment you're referring to
is actually the Editing Field which displays the content of the active cell
regardless of what that content may be.

The Formula Bar as well as any others except the Standard Toolbar can be
Docked beneath the Menu bar or on any side of the screen -- they don't have
to "float".

Stuck on "Preparing Office 2008 SP1 Update"

Posted: 10 May 2009 08:43 PM PDT

I was stuck with this for the past months, I gave up at some point, but here is the answer:
As office is installing, the "check for updates" was open (the little green clock), CLOSE IT and the update will run fast and smooth.
