You will need to move the Office X Identities folder that contains your
³Main Identity² to the Microsoft User Data folder on the new iMac so
Entourage 2008 can import it. Be aware that some users have had trouble
importing from Entourage X. Be sure you keep Office X installed on the old
computer in case you need to manually export your data for import into
Entourage 2008.

Office - Business Install problem with Snow Leopard

Posted: 26 Dec 2009 11:13 AM PST

Make sure you aren't confusing 2 completely separate codes;

It's the Product *ID* that is generated during installation. This is a 20
digit number which is then accessible from the About... dialog for each of
the apps in the Office Suite. If you cannot get the software installed or
can't launch any of the apps you would have no idea what this is, but MS
Support should understand that. What they most likely are asking for is...

The Product *Key*, which is the 25 character code (maybe a combination of
numbers & letters) provided [most commonly, depending on origin of the
software] on a label affixed to the storage sleeve the source disk ships in.
This is the "code" you enter when installing the software. This is typically
requested for at least 2 reasons; (1) to confirm that the caller does
actually have one, & (2) to determine that it is a valid key code.

What does this have to do with Microsoft Office for Macintosh? [Which is the
newsgroup you've posted to.]

As a guess I would imagine it's a notice that a RealPlayer update is
available and/or required.

Good Luck |:>)

Thanks Bob,

You are right, the "Office Converter Support" folder is still there,
which is enabling PP 204 to work with pptx.ppsx files.

Thanks again

Downgrading from Office 2008 for Macs to Office 2004 for Macs

Posted: 13 Dec 2009 12:29 PM PST

Hi Elena;

You've posed a number of questions here so let's see if we can untangle them
one at a time :-)

First, there is no Office 2004 for Windows. Office 2004 is a Mac version,
but both it & Office 2008 are comparable to Office 2003 for Windows. If
you're 'comfortable' with Office 2003 or Office 2004 there's no reason you
can't acclimate to Office 2008 if you give it a little time. The most
significant difference is that there is no VBA in Office 2008, but unless
you need to use Macros that shouldn't pose a problem.

Next, Office 2004 & Office 2008 are separate releases of Mac Office, so yes,
if you have one & want the other you'll have to pay for it... Unless the
vendor you bought 2008 from will allow an exchange, which is unlikely. There
is no "downgrade" option available.

Should you wind up with both versions you can have them both installed at
the same time & use whichever whenever. [The one exception is Entourage...
If you use it at all you can only use one version or the other. Once you
start using Entourage 2008 you can't revert to Entourage 2004. If you were
using 2004 you can upgrade to 2008 at any time or continue using Entourage
2004 as long as you have it installed even though you start using the other
Office 2008 programs.] There's no need to remove either version of Office,
but if you do you're able to re-install it whenever you're ready. Just make
sure to keep the disk & the sleeve with your Product Keys in a safe place.

As far as the distinction between the .doc & the .docx file formats:

Office 2008 can effectively work with either & you can set its default to
..doc if you wish. Keep in mind, though, that the new format is more stable,
more secure & more disk-efficient than the older binary file format, so for
any new documents you create it would be a better choice. The older format
does not support many of the features added in Office 2008, especially with
regard to the more sophisticated graphics features.

Other users continue to use the .doc format because that's what their
existing documents have been saved in. However, any Windows version 2000 or
later & any Mac version v.X or later can open & edit .docx files. Those
users only need the free converters supplied by Microsoft. If they've been
keeping up with their software updates they should already have the
converters whether they realize it or not.

Word: spell check

Posted: 10 Dec 2009 03:08 PM PST

Unfortunately your original post is among those that haven't been replicated
to NNTP so those using newsreaders rather than the Mactopia web interface
[virtually all of us] have never seen the message. I've looked it up & based
on what you've described this may correct the issue:

http://word.mvps.org/mac/SpellCheck.html#GrayAddButton

If not, go to Word> Preferences> Spelling & Grammar, click the Dictionaries
button then select the Custom Dictionary & click the Edit button. Just type
a space, delete it, then close & save the dictionary file. See if that
revives it.

The updaters should work on your install, however you might need to
re-install if you have modified Office.

Most cases where the updater fails are tied to some kind of user use of an
application that removes files. Examples of items that will prevent upgrade:
* Monolingual
* Safari fix read the full discussion here
* Xslimmer (Xslimmer strips PPC binaries for Intel Mac's and vice/versa)
* Service Scrubber might be a culprit.
* Drive Genius
* Trim the fat utilities or commands like lipo & ditto

Hi Bob,
 

I haven't tried it myself so I can't be too affirmative but we've had
several reports in the past.
Apparently the serial numbers are not language-specific. They are
universal and work with any install CD.
As long as you have a copy of the install CD at hand, you can install
and reinstall on your Mac just the same way you'd do it with the
language version you originally bought.

Of course, if you need to reinstall, you need the proper install CD. As
you were previously pointing out, you can't convert a version from one
language to the other.

Up to now, updates have been fine.

Sorry to be so snarky. But I am an ASA and that is not the issue here. There is definitely something crazy going between Snow Leopard and Office 10.2.3. The fact that uninstalling office corrected the problem tells me there is something deeper than the OS.

Hi Jonathan,

You have been informed correctly - Word for Mac has the best mail merge
in town!

Give the Help feature another try. Click the blue question mark on the
standard toolbar, or use the Help menu and choose Word Help from the
menu (don't just type search terms in the search field there). A new
Help window will open titled Word Help. In the search field in the upper
right corner type Mail Merge and then press Return.

The second item down in the search results should be a designated with a
blue icon and titled Create a Form Letter by using the Mail Merge
Manager. That's a complete, self-contained course on how to use the
Mail Merge manager. It's really good, so please give it a try.
