HELP! Database Utility no good after archive and install

Posted: 08 Jul 2009 08:54 AM PDT


Hello there - I have sorted this - it was a simple fact that the caches folder in my documents was locked after the install. Unlocking it has sorted the problem. Many thanks for your replies!

Office uses AppleScript, but I am not clear on the similarities and

Microsoft Office 2008 WILL NOT INSTALL!!

Posted: 05 Jul 2009 07:10 PM PDT

> Funny thing is I can't even check if I'm an Admin account because my laptop is so messed up. Every time i click accounts in system preferences, it crashes.

In System Preferences (before clicking Accounts), try going to Security, then check the box to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference", then close and and re-open System Preferences and see if you can open Accounts without the crash.

I would also go to Utilities (in Finder, in Go menu, or in the Applications folder) and then run Disk Utility, then select your hard drive and then go to the First Aid tab/pill and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button and after that is finished, see if you can't install Office.

Clip Gallery

Thanks Bob,
Maybe you missed the original post in this thread. My problem is that Clip Gallery for Word 2008 doesn't retain keywords for graphics downloaded and imported from the MS clipart site.

As you suggest, I always access Clip Gallery "using either Insert> Picture> Clip Art or the Insert Clip Art button on the Drawing Toolbar." The issue is that Clip Gallery doesn't preserve keywords for imported graphics, making searching for appropriate art much more difficult.

I've recently discovered another workaround as well:

I only import clipart into Clip Gallery for MS Office X, and occasionally I copy the contents of the "Personal" clipart folder for Office X over the "Personal" clipart folder for Office 2008. This has worked like a charm. I can use Clip Gallery for Office 2008 with all keywords preserved for imported art.

Best,

Barbara, the reason some people ask this question is some software uses
online activation to prevent you from installing more copies than your
license permits. If you intend to remove the software from a particular
computer, you have to signal this to the online servers to reclaim your
license key.

This is NOT the case with Office for Mac, which does not use online
activation.

Can't update Office 2008

Posted: 05 Jul 2009 01:35 AM PDT

Hi William,

Hmm... tried that but no go... Finally found that changing the MTU on the router and in Network settings to 1492 magically sorted it (previously set to the default of 1500). Talk about weird voodoo!

Thanks for the suggestions and the kind help. Cheers

You are fully updated. Microsoft does not update each application with

The true test of any upgrade is the Microsoft Component Plugin. It's
always updated.

Office for Mac X is end of life. No further updates will be issued.

Office 08 works only for one user

Posted: 02 Jul 2009 07:02 PM PDT

OS X 10.5.7
Office 12.1.0

I installed all updates but to no luck. I am not sure what the Spaces feature is that you speak of. When logged in under one user everything still works fine but when I log out of that one and into the other, no good. As soon as you open Word in opens in print layout but looks different. The page is all the way at the top and you cannot type. If you switch the draft you can type. Totally lost.

Simple question about weird behavior of the HELP window in Excel

Posted: 02 Jul 2009 05:10 PM PDT


Hi Peter;

Very glad it's been corrected. And not to chastise in any way, but it would
have been remedied sooner if you had mentioned in the original message that
the Title Bar wasn't visible & that the help window covered the entire
screen... I'm afraid we can only go by what the user describes, so starting
with the basics is often necessary until the situation is fully disclosed.
I, for one, don't automatically recommend trashing prefs or .plists or
anything else until I'm reasonably sure that it's warranted :-)

updating Office 2008 from 12.0.0 to 12.1.0

Going to Help> Check for Updates is the typical method. It's virtually
automatic from there. If you're having some sort of problem nobody can
really offer any meaningful suggestions unless you describe exactly *how*
you have been trying and exactly *what* the results have been. Otherwise
it's just a guessing game.

Installing an upgrade to a new Mac

Posted: 01 Jul 2009 11:37 AM PDT


Yes, your expectation is correct. The upgrade packages are actually full
versions but need verification of a prior version in order to be installed.
The older version need not be physically on the Mac being upgraded as long
as you have the previous source disk. Just make sure that if a trial version
of Mac Office exists on the new systems that you run the Remove Office
utility to get rid of it before installing the software.
