If you ever have to re-install after a drive crash, be sure to install 2004
BEFORE 2008. The 2008 installer moves old Office fonts and replaces them
with new and improved fonts for 2008.

I would say Yes to Tiger but you would need to check for Leopard. I'm on a
G4 and barely made it into the Leopard install requirements.
G4 Dual 1.42 GHZ, Memory 2GB, Mac OS X 10.5.1
Get more RAM.
Each upgrade provides new fonts. They are usually put in a disabled folder.
You can add those back.
Office 2008 uses a different method for fonts and many fonts are new
versions. Office 2008 will install fonts to the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft
folder. By being at the root, then all users on the machine have access to
them and you don't get Office 2008 putting multiple copies on the machine
for each user.
The installer will scour /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ for fonts with
the same name and move them to /Library/Disabled Fonts/ or
~/Library/Disabled Fonts/ depending on where they were found.

You might try running the 10.5.1 standalone updater or the latest Apple
combo updater to see if that will fix your problem.
It really helps when you include your system info.

| Something I actually LIKE in 2008 Posted: 30 Jan 2008 03:31 PM PST Whatever it is or whatever we call it, I find it far more intuitive and easy
to manage than I do spotlight. It allows me to set search terms easily and
doesn¹t immediate try to execute while I¹m still typing them.
Let me please believe I¹m getting something I actually want for the money I
shelled out on this silly new edition. I refuse to say upgrade.

| Office 2008-apps crash during startup Posted: 30 Jan 2008 10:06 AM PST Hi Tony:
Repeating an announcement put into the Word group by Beth Rosengard:
Microsoft has confirmed that a *possible* cause for Word 2008 crashing on
launch (or quit) is the presence of preference files from previous versions
of Word. If you have this problem, try one of these workarounds:
1. Quit out of all versions of Word and trash (or rename) all Word
preference files *prior* to Word 2004:
Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Word Settings (10)
HD/OS 9 System Folder/Preferences/Microsoft/ Word Settings (9)
HD/OS 9 System Folder/Preferences/Microsoft/ Word Settings (8)
2. Hold down the Shift key when launching Word. (This bypasses the First
Run Update process so Office doesn't go looking for previous version
preference files.) Unfortunately, this tells Word not to load any prefs at
all * even Word 2008 prefs * and you will need to do this on every launch,
so it's not a long-term workaround.
Hope this helps

Those were probably written for 2004, and you got lucky. But even if
they work you will need readable code (not class xy) to ever change
anything. So I recommend having plain text backups.

| Office 2004 German to Office 2008 Posted: 30 Jan 2008 06:17 AM PST I finally installed the version I received, because I didn't receive any
news from my last email to the Belgian Microsoft Client Support. And my
best bet is that I could wait for it for a long time.
Anyway, although I can easily live with everything in French, there is
one thing that really annoys me. At work, I'm using Excel every day, in
fact for everything I do (two software I use, Excel and Access), in a
Windows 2007 version in English.
I've seen that all formulas in the 2008 French version do use the French
names instead of the English ones, and this is were I'm having a real
user experience issue that is more than just aesthetic.
I suppose there will be no way of having these in English instead ?
Except that is hoping for either a miracle, or going into the grey area
;-)

Sadly, it means I still have to do a lot of my primary work in Fusion/Office
2007. I was really hoping for better.
Thanks, John!
