 Yes, I know the enemy of good is better but I did not like the look of
 the Microsoft Office 2008 folder icon on the dock so I change it by
 leaching the icon from MS install disc.  Seems to look better on the
 dock than the standard folder icon.  Let me know if you find a better
 looking dock icon for Office 2008.

 The Icon issue is FIXED.  I used the OSX Disk Utility to repair
 permissions and did a restart. The 2008 MS Word icon is now displayed
 correct.
 
 It lives!

 No problems here either.
 
 
 Some people feel compelled to download and install every bit of
 crapware they can find...move the locations of default
 installations...and then complain when things don't work right.

When I read your post, I tried downloading the same Word document using Camino/Mozilla and it worked just fine, i.e., Camino didn't add the .dot to the end of the document. Thanks so much. I'll look forward to the fix.

 It will never be available on TechNet.
 
 It is on MSDN Select, if you have a corporate licence.

 2004 are posted on [two thirds of] the same page as those for 2008 when you
 can't find another reference to the former version elsewhere on the site
 (other than updater downloads).

    |   How to use 2004 as default?     Posted: 14 Mar 2008 08:08 PM PDT No, sorry, you can't do this.
 I say it is a bug:  Office 2008 silently declares itself to be the default
 application for all of the file types any time one of the O2008 applications
 runs.
 
 We have asked Microsoft if there is a work-around, but I suspect we may be
 told "This is by design" :-)

    |   What about Publisher and Frontpage??     Posted: 13 Mar 2008 08:03 PM PDT Because they're not good enough :-)
 I'm a *current* PC user as well as a Mac user.
 
 Publisher can't get anywhere near Adobe CS3 in terms of functionality and
 refinement.
 
 FrontPage can't keep up with DreamWeaver on the Mac.  Expression Web would
 be competitive with DreamWeaver, depending on what you want to do.  But not
 FrontPage.

 They would only post and then "pull" an update if it caused some fairly
 catastrophic problem.  But as far as I am aware, the death and injury should
 be confined to Microsoft Office.

    |   Install Office 2008 and 2004 at the same time?     Posted: 13 Mar 2008 06:30 AM PDT Loren wrote: Not quite following you, Loren--what part of their website?  This is
 what I see:

 They specifically say that you can unformat citations in your docs with
 Word 2004 and then use the Format Paper method with Word 2008.  I'm not
 sure whether you mean something different?
 
 The EndNote plug-in is certainly not compatible with Word 2008, at all,
 at present--but the EndNote plug-in/toolbar/CWYW is a convenience. It is
 not absolutely required to make use of EndNote's bibliographic
 management features, it is just easier. Even without the plug-in, you
 can continue to use EndNote with Word 2008, but it requires some
 adjustments to your workflow.  So it may depend on what you mean by
 compatible. :-)

 Mine showed 12.0.0, but I was hearing sounds so I assumed I was updated.
 Working with the developer and from the logs I sent in, he had me do the
 "Remove Office" and re-install. Now I am at 12.0.1. I suggest doing this
 also as per the steps shown.
 
 Yes. We are trying to get the full info available.
 
 Good question. I just checked and my updated MAU was still updated.
 
 I didn't and did not even have to enter the CD Key.
 
 Not yet. It's not been set for autoupload yet.
 
 A re-do wasn't that bad and you might have to do it when the next release
 comes out to fix the underlying problems that caused the problem this go
 round.

    |   Word Doc     Posted: 12 Mar 2008 02:50 PM PDT You can't solve this problem.
 If they can "read" it, they can "re-type" it (or copy-paste it...).
 
 So there's nothing you can do to prevent them from changing it.  If you save
 from Word PC, you can attach a digital signature.  But if you do, they will
 not be able to read it on the Mac.
 
 I think you will simply have to trust them :-)
 
 What *I* do is print three copies of my resume and take it to the interview
 with me.
 
 Head-hunters ALWAYS fiddle around with the resume, no matter how many times
 you tell them not to.  And usually screw up the formatting when they do.
 Which is the kiss of death if you are applying for roles that require expert
 Word use, such as a technical writer role :-)
 
 Take your own copies to the interview, and hand it to the interviewers :-)
 
 Cheers

 I will ask over there as well, but I did not have this problem with Office 2004, nor with any other program, only Office 2008, so I believe it could be an issue with 2008.
