Office Won't Load Documents Posted: 11 Apr 2007 11:49 AM PDT Reinstalling Office will simply make your problem worse :-) The things that die in Mac are not part of Office, so re-installing doesn't have any effect. Other than to give you TWO problems: the original, plus re-configuring Office. In this case, you don't say where the documents ARE, but I suspect that they are on a network share. When the commputer goes to sleep, it logs off its network connections. You need to configure it to re-attach the network shares when it wakens. The reason you have to restart the aplication is possibly because the application's resources (Preference files, templates, printers) are also on network shares. If I were you, I would reconfigure that computer so that it prompts for username and password and runs its login script whenever it reawakes. That should fix it :-) Even simpler: Set it to stay running, with a password protected screensaver and powered-down hard disks. You save nearly as much power, and don't have to worry about vanishing network shares. Cheers -- John McGhie, Consultant Technical Writer, McGhie Information Engineering Pty Ltd Sydney, Australia.

Creating multipage PDF from password protected Woorkbooks. Posted: 11 Apr 2007 04:21 AM PDT Hi Paul: Chances are, your client is using the Adobe PDFMaker.dot application on their PCs. This has much higher capability than the equivalent one for the Mac. (The Mac version of PDFMaker is both feeble and irritating: we recommend that Mac users uninstall it). What I suggest that you could do is make a copy of the Exel sheet, remove the password from it, save as PDF, then discard the copy. Provided that you save the copy within your Documents folder on your local Mac, nobody who shouldn't see it will be able to, and you already know the password :-) Cheers -- John McGhie, Consultant Technical Writer, McGhie Information Engineering Pty Ltd Sydney, Australia.

Mac Office 2004 vs Office 2007 Posted: 10 Apr 2007 08:26 PM PDT Hi Charles: No reason for concern at all. I flip between the versions here with no problems or issues. There is, currently, a source of "irritation". The Converters for Mac Office have not appeared yet (the PC ones have, but not the Mac ones). Microsoft had hoped to have them available by now: obviously they're running late in development. The "Converters" are much more substantial than last time: they offer full read-write compatibility between Office X, 2004 and 2007/8. Which means they're four times the size! Obviously in a large and complex development project such as this (those "converters" contain most of the "engine" of the actual applications concerned) you sometimes do get delays and bugs that take time to resolve. I would expect the converters to appear within "weeks, not months". Until they do, you will have to ask Office 2007 users to save back a version for you. When they do that, some things, such as the new graphics in Office 2007 documents, will be converted into static uneditable pictures. So don't back-convert unless you have to.

Failure to Lauch Posted: 09 Apr 2007 01:47 PM PDT " I would use "Remove Office" then install again and update." I can't reinstall. My boss can't find the installation cd and even if he did find the cd, it would not run because the cd would try to install on classic and classic does not work on my comp since the tiger update. |
Setting up Word to automatically open in Standard mode, zoom=pagemargins Posted: 09 Apr 2007 12:04 AM PDT Hi Edward: Oh, please don't stop bugging us -- we need your questions far more than you need our answers :-) You see, for many of us, this is one of our most important hobbies. It's part of our lives. If no-one asked any questions, then what would we do? Our Significant Others are already threatening with the "Honey Do..." list: you wouldn't want to leave us without an excuse, would you??

Office 2004 error message Posted: 08 Apr 2007 09:53 PM PDT That would be the Apple 10.4.9 Updater you're missing :-) When you re-install, you have to re-apply all the updates, because they're no longer applied to the newly-installed software.

Pasting multiple items from scrapbook Posted: 08 Apr 2007 05:12 AM PDT Well, yeah, going to XL does make a difference - file structure is totally different. It can't paste separate content into separate cells at the same time, however: If all the entries are text you can select more than one then *drag* them into the worksheet rather than pasting. The drawback is that they will *all* will go into the same cell. If there are graphics included in the multiple selection only the text items will get entered, and graphics can apparently be entered one-at-a-time only. If you select multiple graphic items only the first will be inserted. HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 4/8/07 10:05 AM, in article googlegroups.com, "com" <com> wrote: |

Poor Zune battery life??? Posted: 03 Apr 2007 12:14 PM PDT Hi Steve: If you charged it overnight before the first use, then you probably have a faulty battery. If you leave the WFi on, you substantially increase battery consumption. So "No". Once the battery has been properly initialised, it doesn't matter when you charge it. I tend to let rechargeables run right down before recharging, because the old rechargeables would recharge only about 500 times, regardless of how empty they were when you did it. So I got the best bang for my buck by not charging until they were empty. I suspect this is nonsense these days, but I keep doing it :-) You can try the procedure I described for reconditioning the battery: it sometimes works. But I think you have one or more cells out in that battery, and a chat to your retailer is what is needed. As I said, you should get 16 hours out of it.

Problems saving to network drive (Airport Extreme) Posted: 29 Mar 2007 12:40 PM PDT Oh, you cynical person. How could you ever believe that :-) Did you also eliminate the "Mounted twice" bug? There is an issue where, if a folder is mounted along two paths, it gets very confused. Say: one mounted on the desktop, the other open via an application.
