Update! I found an 800 number for Microsoft and called it. Apparently there was an Office folder in my Applications that should have been in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. I must've saved something to the wrong spot when I updated. I moved the folder to the proper location and problem solved.

Office applications look in specific places for info and if they get moved, everything goes kerpluy. Glad you found what was wrong.

Moving the Microsoft User Data folder is a very common problem and users report Entourage opened in a new Identity. It’s easy to fix by moving it back.

Buy OfficeMac 2008 now, free upgrade to 2011?

Posted: 17 May 2010 07:14 PM PDT

And that may happen... But not 6-8 months prior to the release of the new
version. Promotions of that sort normally aren't announced more than 60-90
days prior to release date of the new version. Stay tuned to Mactopia & the
Mac Office Blog for announcements.

Yes! You can use these directions to reset the key to know what files are needed to copy over. In the future, be sure to keep your keys. You really have no one to blame but yourself.

Can't Install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

Posted: 10 May 2010 04:52 PM PDT

> pjonesCET  

You need to reinstall Parallels before you can access Office 2007. you may have to reinstall windows, and office. or if your just removed Parallels then you should be able to acess it again.

Can't access any Newgroups

Posted: 07 May 2010 09:31 AM PDT

Check your server..you are most likely using the newsgroup as your server instead of the server.
The server is:
msnews.microsoft.com
The correct port is 119 (WLM will configure that automatically)

To add an news account in WLM
Tools/Accounts/Add/News (note if you don't see Tools, press the Alt key)
Enter a Display name (e.g. PaulC)
Enter an email address(suggest you antispam rather than use your real email -> e.g. com)
Enter the news server -> msnews.microsoft.com
Do not check 'My server requires me to logon'
Click Next, Click Finish
Agree to the prompt to download the groups

Once you download the groups, subscribe to the groups or your choice..
If this is your only newsgroup server, remove all other newsgroup servers(Tools/Accounts/<click on a newsgroup>/Remove.

Once done, ensure you toggle off 'Use newsgroup Community support features'(your experience will be much better)
- Tools/Options/<General tab>

When done if you have questions on WLM you have two options:

The nntp group(as long as it exists)
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

or the Windows Live Solution Center
Windows Live Solution Center for Windows Live Mail
http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=15
Windows Live Mail Forums
http://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?productid=15
Windows Live Mail Solutions
http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions.aspx?productid=15

If you use the nttp group, I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

I'm surprised that you didn't notice..both servers msnnews and msnews co-existed each carrying all the groups...the only difference
when SPA was required the msn groups were removed from msnews and they also disappeared from the Usenet hierarchy.

Diatribes a side...it is possible to kill an nttp group and that was my point.

Many newsgroups are afflicted with the trash/troll/spam types seeking to self-inflate their own egos as long as they have an
audience to help propagate the abuse. On the other hand, I've seen quite a few where folks do understand the golden rule DNFTEC.
Those groups can be productive environments without the presence of the trolls.

The potential does exist for the Forums to surpass Nttp...and you are right 'We'll see'.
- I was a forum moderator in Msft's first foray into web groups(not the communities) which pre-dated the current(and soon to be
deprecated) mirrored web-nttp system. Unlike the current Forums, few showed up(though that interface/architecture was a poor and
thoughtless replacement. More like a spare tire). We could have used your expertise, I was one of the few that had Apple hardware
experience...even though our group was on IE, Security and Windows we occasionally had Mac folks showing up asking questions on
IE(which was the default Mac browser until Safari appeared iirc late 2002 or early 2003).

If you're ever in my neck of the woods(from Down Under), feel free to stop by.....I'll power up a few relics for your benefit.. the
Apple ][ and Apple //e, Profile Hard drive(all compliments of Apple for starting this state's first Apple UG)

Over the last year, I've answered quite a few questions for Entourage users inquiring about settings for Pop3 access for their
Hotmail and Live accounts. Maybe I should send them here(or whatever Forum replaces this one when the group is 'killed' <eg>.

If you need a link for those settings or background reference

Lost CD case for Office 2008

Posted: 05 May 2010 08:37 AM PDT

The Product Key is not on the *box*, it's on the sleeve the disk is in, both
of which are shipped inside the box. If you have the sleeve the key is on an
orange sticker affixed to it... There is nothing on the box itself that need
be used for installation.

If you don't have the sleeve but can establish proof of purchase, contact MS
Customer Service. They can probably provide you with a new product key [for
which there may be a nominal charge]:

"To obtain a new product key for your Office program in the United States,
call 1-800-936-5700 and speak to a Microsoft customer service
representative. Outside of the United States, call the number that appears
in the activation wizard."
