Office 2008 "Student Select" and Exchange

Hi

Your university probably has a volume license, which does support
Exchange. Only the Home and Student version comes without exchange support.

Be certain to allow all the office and Mac OS updates to be installed,
or your exchange experience may not be good.

why are the applications in Office 2008 so slow to open

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 11:59 AM PST

This does not apply to this situation. Office 2008 is a Universal
Binary; it runs natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs. Rosetta is only used
if Office 2004 (or Office v.X) is used on an Intel Mac.

I believe there have been test reports indicating that Office 2008 is
generally slower on PowerPC Macs than it is on Intel Macs. There is not
really much that can be done about this. Even on Intel Macs, the speed
of Office 2008 does not really blow you away...

Have you tested in a new User? Go to System Preferences --> Create a New
User in Accounts. Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast
User Switching. Test Office there.

"Help' window won't close in Word and Excell

I just went to Word, and the same thing is happening.

Hi,

I can't close the "Help" window in Word and Excell. The red, yellow and
green buttons on the upper left don't show. In that upper left corner, the
last thing showing is the green arrow pointing to the left. I can't move the
help screen other than to resize it using the bottom-right corner. Resizing
only reduces the size of the help window toward the upper left corner,
stopping when there's a small help window.

This is not happening with other applications, not with Entourage Help, with
Finder Help and with a few others I tried.

One thing it just occurred to me to do is to restart the computer which is
something I havent done in a while. Still, I'd appreciate some advice on
this problem. This has never happened to me before.

Thanks,

Rafael

Hi,

I solved this problem with Diane Ross offline. She had me go to System
Preferences>Displays>Display>Resolutions:

I had resolutions set at 1024x768. We went to 640x480, looked back at the
screen. The letters were large and blurry. Went back to 1024x768, and the
window was where it should be, moved over to the right, and showing the
red-yellow-and green buttons.

Thanks, Diane

Silverlight.3.0

Posted: 22 Feb 2010 05:47 PM PST

far as I know, I don't use or need Silverlight now either. However, I
do know that there are developments coming which will make this yet
another add in which will have value. I saw this last week with a
company I collaborate with and all their next versions which have
"fancy" business graphics is based on Silverlight technology. They are
using as they are immensely impressed and can do a lot of great things
at low cost to them due to to the capabilities of Silverlight.

It's not going away.Perhaps first for Windows world but probably
ubiquitous soon.

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.5.7 Update

Posted: 14 Feb 2010 12:38 PM PST

I have had the same problem - using both the Auto Update program and then trying the download from Mactopia. In four different attempts, the computer (iMac Power PC with 10.5.8) hung with a spinning beach ball, and I had to force quit from the updater. Everything seemed to be going well, but the program hung on "looking for . . ." status.

Update Path for 2004 11.2.3 -> 11.5.7 ?

Posted: 12 Feb 2010 07:57 AM PST

Well, actually it is :-) For each update there is a link for System
Requirements. When you click it the previous update level requirement will
be indicated as well as any other requirements for OS level, etc.

As Michel replied, the simplest process is to use Help> Check for Updates in
any of the Office apps. The necessary updates will be applied automatically
in the appropriate order. It's also worth setting AutoUpdate to check on a
periodic basis, such as Weekly or Monthly.

The EULA stipulates that NO Office app can be used on one Mac while ANY
Office app is being used on another if the installations were done using the
same license. IOW: Each license is for a *single* user. The allowance for
installation on 2 systems is so that the single user can have Office
installed on 1 stationary plus 1 portable system & further based on the
'expectation' that the one user shouldn't be using 2 systems simultaneously.

It is neither a matter of "exact same programs" nor how the user "feels" :-)
