| Possible issue when migrating Office to a new system? Posted: 05 May 2007 01:31 AM PDT Hi Bill: Sadly, Yes :-) I used to be a radio announcer. By the time I finished that gig, I had a freebee of everything the record companies had put out since YOU were young ( :-) ). And it was all on vinyl. Sadly, the kinds of people you work with in the broadcasting industry tend to "party hard" and they associate with a lot of people who are not necessarily "model citizens". Sadly, one of these low-lifes backed up a truck one night whilst I was otherwise distracted in the pursuit of the honour of some nubile young lady (remember those days??). And after a few years of having to pretend I liked the most woeful rubbish on air, my music taste was entirely ruined. I just haven't really bothered with music since... Sad, isn't it... So yeah, 20 or 30 CDs just about DOES describe my music collection these days. I had thought of advising the customer to rip a few DVDs just to warm the thing up a bit, but I was not sure he had the software to do that :-) Cheers -- Don't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.

| Fact Balloons and Comments HELP! Posted: 04 May 2007 10:05 AM PDT One thing I forgot to mention: a great advantage is that you can easily hide the comments when necessary by re-defining the style as hidden text, in that document only. This takes only 15 seconds. However, if I want to run off a PDF or hard copy for someone who doesn¹t need to see them I¹m more likely to delete the comments altogether by a search-and-replace command (replacing text in that style with nothing) -- because I usually have my printer set to print hidden text. This is also quick to do. I immediately follow that with a Command-z "Undo" command to restore them. If the document is important and there are many comments, I do it on a Saved As copy.

| Office 2004 fonts are corrupt... Posted: 03 May 2007 12:00 PM PDT On 5/3/07 12:00 PM, in article googlegroups.com, "dot.gov" <dot.gov> wrote: Yes, but it would probably be easier to use "Remove Office" then install Office from the CD. The fonts in /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Fonts/ were put there by the CD Installer to act as a source, backup and repair. They're not used directly by Office. At the first launch of an Office application they are copied to ~/Library/Fonts/, replacing any older versions put there by earlier versions of Office. These are the fonts used by Office and other applications The general method of OS X is to look first in your user folder, here ~/Library/Fonts/ . If there happens to be a particular font there, it overrides any version that may be in /Library/Fonts/ or /System/Library/Fonts/ - it doesn't even look there for those. In most cases, once it's done with the user Library, it then looks in /Library/Fonts/ for any fonts not already found in ~/. Only these fonts from /Library will appear in the fonts lists. On OS X, most well-behaved applications installing fonts will do so in ~/Library, since OS X is a multi-user environment. You or your administrator might choose /Library, but it will simply get overruled by any user installation of the same fonts. However, if a user should trash his own fonts, the /Library version will then come into play. (And it may be that the admin won't let individual users have permission to remove those.) Finally, if no version of a font exists in either user or local location the default version in /System/Library/Fonts will take over. And those can't (i.e. shouldn't - and don't try) be removed. The system can access these versions as it wishes, and won't be overruled by other versions of those fonts you might have in the other Fonts folders which take precedence in other circumstances.

Just Do a "Find" command for "PC" and you'll see them. On page 151 there is an article "PCs and Macs, main differences in Word interfaces" that includes a table of commonly used keyboard shortcuts. [Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.] Cheers, Clive Huggan Canberra, Australia (My time zone is 5-11 hours different from North America and Europe, so my follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed) ================================================== ========== |
| cannot download updates for office mac 2004 student/teacher edition Posted: 28 Apr 2007 10:37 AM PDT Actually: Ping "download.microsoft.com". I think it will resolve to a different server than the one I am seeing in Australia. I deduce this from the fact that I am seeing an 8 millisecond ping time here, and that's not enough time for the packets to get from one side of the Pacific to the other, so I suspect they have some very interesting re-directing technology happening in the middle...

| Posted: 24 Apr 2007 08:22 AM PDT Hi Deena: I am afraid you have had some very bad advise if someone told you to wipe your Mac Book drive :-) Well, you will get plenty of sound advice in here :-) The shop should have told you that you need 2 GB of RAM to run Parallels -- preferrably 3GB. That's because parallels runs a guest operating system alongside your Mac OS X operating system. Now, if you think about a house guest, they don't eat any less food, sleep in a smaller bed, or fit in a smaller bathroom just because they're guests :-) Operating systems are just the same. Windows XP needs 512 MB of RAM to run properly, Windows Vista needs 1 GB. Parallels adds another 100 MB on top of that (that can be confusing: Parallels requires a minimum of 512 MB of RAM free before it will agree to start, but it will settle 100 MB higher than whatever the Guest OS is using.) Mac OS 10.4 needs at least 1GB of RAM to run properly. If you add these together: 1GB for OS X, 512 MB for Windows XP, and 100 MB for Parallels, you need 1,600 MB of memory, before you run any other applications. They will need more! If you don't have that much RAM, the system attempts to substitute hard disk space for RAM. As you have discovered, that makes the system treacle-in-winter slow :-) What the shop might not be quite so ready to tell you is that your Macbook was supplied with all its memory slots full, so you will have to take some out to put some in. If you want to take your Macbook from 1GB of memory to 2 GB of memory, you will have to discard BOTH the existing 512 MB sticks of memory and snap in TWO 1 GB sticks. Fortunately, this is easy to do (you will even find pictures showing you how on the Apple website) and you will find a ready market on eBay for your discarded sticks of RAM :-). Now, I use both Entourage and Outlook, depending on whether I am on a PC or a Mac. You could, of course, use a Hosted Exchange Server. If you did, your Outlook, Entourage and Blackberry would just connect to it. I used to work for these people, who offer that service: http://my.bigpond.com/emailandmessaging/premiummail/solomanagerplus/default.do However, a moment's thought will show you that their charges are absurd! And that's because an Exchange Server is such a beast to manage: Microsoft has a lot of work to do there... There are several providers who offer Hosted Exchange Servers all over the world. The benefit of that is that you get to share anything that Outlook and Entourage can do with all of your devices. At a substantial cost! However, I believe the best alternative, as others have suggested, is to use IMAP for your email server. This means that you do not have to synchronise your mail ANYWHERE. All of your mail remains on the mail server: Entourage and Outlook only have to display it to you. Entourage is one of the finest IMAP clients on the planet: Outlook 2007 is not quite as good, but it's improving :-) I just log in to which ever computer I am using at the time and I can see my mail account. Not synchronised copies of it: I see the real Inbox. I am in Sydney, my inbox is somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of the USA. Who cares: I can instantly see what's in it :-) The provider I use is www.fastmail.fm There are a variety of services out there that offer the same thing: and women are generally a bit more skilled at shopping than men (so they keep telling me...) so hit the web and go shopping :-) The first place to look would be the provider that supplies your email now. They often offer IMAP service for a small extra fee. If they do, you will only have to change a parameter in your setup: your email addresses will all remain the same. ISPs hate offering IMAP, because it makes them responsible for storing the email. But you did not get into business for yourself by being a door mat: make them an offer they can't refuse and they will soon see things your way... The key parameters when buying a mail service are "reliability, reliability, reliability". I work for myself also: I can't afford an email provider that suffers fainting fits: the one I use has not inflicted an unscheduled outage on me in the past five years. Amongst the reliable providers, you then go shopping for "Storage" and "Bandwidth". Bandwidth is rarely a large concern: email doesn't use much (I never use anywhere near 1,000 MB a month ...). But storage can be. My current provider offers 2GB as standard, and I had a clean-up last week so I am actually using only 70 MB (which is very light for me: my Archive mail store, where I put the old and boring junk is 400 MB). Once you move your email to an IMAP provider, you will find that your Blackberry will happily connect to IMAP server and show you your email just like Entourage and Outlook. You can also configure the Blackberry server to poll your IMAP server and alert you if anything comes in. OK, that's email: What about your Calendar and your Contacts? These are things you ARE likely to want to synchronise, so you can use them at times when your connection is not available. My IMAP provider offers a Contacts list: nowhere near as good as Outlook or Entourage, but handy to have. You can publish your Outlook or Entourage calendars to a web server, from which you can view them on anything. See http://office.microsoft.com/client/helppreview.aspx?AssetID=HA101743551033&QueryID=s2 OBh9YUx0&respos=3&rt=2&ns=OUTLOOK&lcid=3081&pid=CH 100776881033 You can find other solutions here: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm#other Notice the one thing I have not mentioned is "Synchronisation"? That's because it is inherently complex and unreliable. PC <-> Mac <-> Blackberry?? That's not just "brave", that's thrill-seeking :-) I have never known anyone who synchronises a hand-held device who has not blown away ALL their contacts and appointments SEVERAL times. I simply won't do it. My business data is too valuable. Your mileage may vary :-) Hope this helps -- Don't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.
