Office 2004 needs regular Force Quitting

What you describe can usually be rectified by (a) updating Office, (b)
restarting your Mac & (c) repairing disk permissions.

Also, even if fully updated, the issue can arise if you leave the Mac
running 24/7 and/or leave programs launched for days at a time.

product key validation problem after sp2 update

Posted: 21 Jul 2009 02:33 AM PDT

Just to keep you in the loop, i spoke to support at Microsoft and basically there is no way of my short circuiting the system without my serial key. So until i get home to england, there is no way for me to access my programs and the suite it technically locked. I am going to have to go and buy another version of office 08 and see if that serial number will activate the software i have installed.

expensive update. thanks MS.

Document Connection: Can't connect to Sharepoint (option grayed out)

Posted: 21 Jul 2009 12:43 AM PDT

Exactly the same greyed out thing here. I also have the student/teacher edition. It would be an absurd restriction if this is the problem as Microsoft are trying to push schools into using their software for learning platforms.

12.2.0 will not install

Posted: 20 Jul 2009 03:33 PM PDT

I don't claim to be *any* kind of "guru" & I don't work for MS.

Just because my reply offered no immediate *solution* doesn't mean it wasn't
helpful. If you open your eyes you'll understand that my reply to the OP
actually *was* helpful because I didn't just spout of a line of pap hoping
it "might" be the proper suggestion. In order to be "helpful" advice needs
to be based on information woefully lacking in the OP's message. Otherwise
it's liable to cause more harm than good... Or perhaps you're the type who
prefers to just to phone the doctor to say "I don't feel good" & have
him/her simply phone in a prescription for whatever the drug of the day
happens to be. I don't work that way.

Good Luck |:>)

Document Connection- Cannot connect to sharepoint site

Posted: 20 Jul 2009 03:31 PM PDT

I am having the same problem of not being able to connect to my sharepoint server through Document Connection. For the address, user name, and passworld, I typed into Document Connection exactly what I do when I access my sharepoint server through web access. Yet, I am prompted with Connection Failed in Document Connection when I can log in through web access just fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks......just wanted to check before trashing the old updates. I
don't have a 12.1.0 update. The last time I had to re-install my disk
put on 12.0.0 and the first time I tried to launch it. the updater jumped
in and moved it to 12.1.0. Hopefully, I will not have to do it again.

The new 12.2.0 has been working great

Thank

Problem connecting to Sharepoint site

Posted: 20 Jul 2009 10:57 AM PDT

Also, my Sharepoint address is an alias on a network (in my case it's just "http://sharepoint <http://sharepoint>").

I've tried linking to the IP also, but still not working.

Adding to Bob's advice. If you select to do a custom install, updating in
the future could be problematic. The actual applications take up very little
room. Just because they are installed, doesn't mean you have to use them.

Excel is 54.9 MB

If that doesn't work, I finally fixed my problem simply by restarting my computer. It's worked fine ever since.
