How do I convince Office to upgrade myOffice 2008 Home and Student to Office 2008Business?

Posted: 17 Mar 2010 06:31 AM PDT

One of the pitfalls of using the miserable Mactopia Forums web UI ‹ the
message you're replying to has never been seen by most responders. I'm
citing the original post for the benefit of others as well as yourself:
 

There is no "upgrade" from one edition of Office 2008 to another. They are
differently licensed packagings of Office & must be purchased separately. If
you do, you must properly remove the Home/Student Edition plus certain other
files in order to successfully install the Business Edition.

If you do have to make the replacement see topics #1, #2 & (if needed) #5 on
this page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/install/index.html

That's correct, but the info does get logged. Can you imagine how much
the product would cost if they had to include support like this?

I thought there was a phone number in the trial info after you purchased
on contacting Digital River that handles the sale.

Use the 'Remove Office' utility to remove the trial and/or new install,
and do it as an administrative user. "Remove Office" can be found in
this location.

/Application/Microsoft Office 2008/Additional Tools/Remove Office

Delete Microsoft Office 2008 settings.plist file:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft

Remove all office2008...pkg receipts in these folders:

1) /Library/Receipts

2) In the Finder toolbar under Go, paste in this path:

/private/var/db/receipts

Musical symbols in excel

Posted: 15 Mar 2010 05:51 AM PDT

Forum works well. More likely those reading this don't have a clue what
the question is (since no question stated), nor do they have experience
with musical symbols in Excel.

I'll offer that if you search via Google for "musical symbols in excel"
you will find suggestions. I'll even help you and provide a link to
that search:

Office 2004 update 11.5.7 cannot locatecorrect version of software

Posted: 11 Mar 2010 12:07 PM PST

There is no "10.1.4 of Office 2004" :-) Office 2004 is version 11.x.x

The first thing I'd suggest is that you run Help> Check for Updates from the
menu of any Office app.

If you have any problems please post a NEW mesage rather than sticking a 'me
too' REPLY onto a thread of another user. (Reply to posted messages from
others only if you have a suggestion or solution to offer.) Be sure to
accurately indicate exactly what version & update level of Office you're
using as well as specific details pertinent to your situation.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Adjusting the controls to share with others apparently did the trick. Thanks so much!

A newer version Microsoft Office 2008 is already installed

Hi

For some reason I can't see the postings at the beginning of this
thread. I surmise you are trying to switch from Home and Student or the
free trial to Microsoft Office Business Edition.

The message is trying to tell you that in order to install a different
edition you must first use the Remove Office tool and remove the edition
that's currently installed. The "newer" refers to updates that you have
installed, but "newer" really isn't the issue here. You need to start
fresh with the Business Edition software, as it has more features.

If the Business Edition installer does not offer to remove the existing
copy of Office, you'll find the Remove Office tool in Applications >
Microsoft Office 2008 > Additional Tools > Remove Office folder. Use the
Remove Office tool to remove the current edition. Restart your computer
and then empty the trash before running the installer for Business Edition.

Be sure to let the updates happen. Your Entourage identities will work
again once all the updates are installed. Install any MacOS updates
(Apple menu > Software Update) too, as Microsoft and Apple work together
to fix certain bugs. Despite all the hype to the contrary, it is
essential to both companies to have Microsoft Office on the Mac working
in top form. System updates can work hand-in-hand with Office updates.

When all this installing is done, head to Applications > Utilities >
Disk Utility. Repair permissions for sure, and verify the hard drive for
good measure.

Lastly, also in the Utilities folder is Font Book. This Apple utility
can resolve duplicate fonts and validate them. Font issues are a
frequent cause of problems, lately, and you can avoid these problems if
you resolve duplicates and validate your fonts.

Upgrade Office 2008 - Home & Student to Business Edition

Posted: 02 Mar 2010 10:09 AM PST

I did not download. What concerned me:

: original op didn't explain the problem
: original op declared, essentially, "just download this and all is well".

Sounds too perfect. Similar to the spam I get and ignore (but sadly too
many do not ignore).

I guess I'm just a cynic.

Problem shortcuts in Word

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 05:15 PM PST

Ho sorry, it's not cancel, i would mean "undo" (cmd z), sorry i don't use it
in english.
 

Yes that's why it's very strange because in same time that it doesn't work
in word there is not problem in other applications.

It occurs in all document including newly created ones but not all the time.
When i start there is no problem and suddenly there is the problem and i have
to close it.

Thank you for your help.

Word to PDF

Hi Michael,

It is still possible to create folder actions without using Automator.
You can do it using AppleScript. You would create a script that
accomplishes the same thing: Opens the document in Word and then saves
the document as PDF.

I don't know AppleScript well enough to give you a step-by-step but I
don't think it would be many more steps than using Automator. This isn't
exactly the wording, but it would go something like:

Tell Application Microsoft Word Open as Document
Save As Format PDF
Close Document

Head to this web site for more details
http://developer.apple.com/applescript

Really, AppleScript is not that hard to use if you just need to do
something quick like this. There are plenty of examples.

Office X and Snow Leopard

Will Office X S&T even install on snow leopard?

Yes, Be sure to validate fonts and remove almost all of the Office X fonts.

Microsoft fonts to delete after installing Snow Leopard (includes help
deleting font caches)

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/remove_fonts_snowleopard.html>


If so, can it 

You can update any application for free, but you can't upgrade without
purchasing.

An update takes you from 10.0 to 10.1.9
An upgrade would be to install either Office 2004 or Office 2008.

If you don't need Exchange you can get Office 2008 very reasonably from
Amazon with free shipping. $109.99 (price can vary slightly)

If it can 

don't understand this question as I don't see previous posts.
