I also like the idea of non-applescripters being introduced to
applescript via a combined group. Traffic is not so high in the
individual program groups that scripters need to be segregated out, I
don't think. I do hope that the current groups become places for
applescript questions and answers--the problem right now is that we
don't have enough people who are able to give the answers.....
Do you see a need, Sol? What made that occur to you?

Hi Chris,
I suspect that the computer already had the trial version loaded.
The idea would be to use the uninstaller to uninstall Office Trial and
then reinstall the whole thing. The identity shouldn't be affected, but
the templates could if they are simply in the default
/Applications/Micorosft Office 2004/Template folder.
Make sure you relocate them elsewhere before you uninstall, then
re-locate them where they belong once you've reinstalled.

| RAM requirements Posted: 02 Jan 2007 11:39 AM PST No. The next version of Office will be a native Intel binary that will not
require Rosetta. Until then, I'm afraid the only answer is to add RAM as
Barry suggested.

| Install Office:mac 2004 Professional on two laptops? Posted: 27 Dec 2006 09:30 PM PST Hello. I was able to install Office 2004 on two Macs. I had spoken to a
Microsoft employee who told me I could do so and that it was permitted
under the license agreement. Try it.

| Mac Office in English Posted: 27 Dec 2006 08:49 AM PST Hi Oliver:
If you ring your local Microsoft Office in Spain, they can arrange to sell
you any of the other languages that are available.
Mac Office does not yet have the Multilanguage User Interface available on
the Windows version. So no, you can't switch the user interface language in
Mac Office like you can in PC Office.
Cheers

| Can't install (yes, I already did the Remove Office prgm) Posted: 21 Dec 2006 12:40 PM PST Hi Shade:
1) Make sure there is no Microsoft Office 2004 folder in your Applications
folder. If there is, delete it; and empty the trash BEFORE you go further.
2) Drag the entire Office 2004 folder from the CD to your "Applications"
folder.
I don't think the installer works properly on the Intel Mac (does anyone
know??)
Cheers

| Safari and Firefox won't download MS updates Posted: 21 Dec 2006 05:37 AM PST Hi Travis:
I think your issue is with your internet connection. Your firewall may be
set to block .exe or .dmg files.
I just downloaded a Windows update from Microsoft Update using FireFox 2 on
the Mac.
When you go to the Windows Update home page, you will be taken to a
re-direct page that will take you to Microsoft Download Server.
If you try to download anything that requires Windows Validation, of course
that will not succeed unless you are using Windows operating system on your
Mac (either in Virtual PC or in Boot Camp or Parallels).
Any updates from the Mac Downloads section of Microsoft will work without
problems in Safari or FireFox. I just tried it in FireFox to make sure :-)

| Lost Mac Office product code Posted: 20 Dec 2006 01:40 PM PST Hi Bob:
There's a bright orange sticker stuck to the back of the original CD case.
That's it...
If she hasn't got the outer case, she's pooched. Ring Microsoft: there's a
deal where if you registered the original they have a record. If your
details match the stored registration details, and I think you have to post
your original disks to them, they will then sell you a new set of disks with
a new key for 20 bucks (or something like that...)
Be nice: I believe this is an unpublished thing that's at the discretion of
the person you speak to :-)
Cheers

| question Posted: 20 Dec 2006 08:34 AM PST Hi,
At the present time the answer is no. However, a converter is expected that
will allow Office 2004 to read and write these files.
The converters will be free:

| Need two fonts from Microsoft Posted: 19 Dec 2006 02:01 PM PST The fonts you're looking for are supplied with Windows XP. See here:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/winxp.htm
You're looking for andlso.ttf and artro.ttf
They may not have been installed unless he selected the "International
Fonts" option when he installed Windows.
You can add them using Windows>Start>Control Panel>Add Remove Programs...
Once you have added them, you will find them in the Windows Font folder
(fonts can be only one place in Windows). However, to search for them in
Windows XP, you need to enable "Search hidden and system folders".
Hope this helps
