Does Entourage support OpenType fonts?

power point Posted: 11 Sep 2007 02:44 PM PDT Vista is the most recent version of the Microsoft Windows *operating system*. It does not include the MS Office applications - of which PowerPoint is one. MS Office (or PowerPoint itself) must be purchased separately. Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 9/11/07 5:44 PM, in article com, "Learning" <microsoft.com> wrote: |

Can't Reinstall Office 2004 Upgrade Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:56 PM PDT Yeah, Diane is correct: sadly this is the main reason why I think very carefully before buying "upgrade" versions. If you lose access to the "qualifying" software, you are in a bind if you need to re-install. Obviously, they do this to prevent us buying an upgrade, then selling the old version :-) However, ANY prior version will do, back to Office 98. As Diane says, if you can borrow a CD from any one of those versions, that's all you need. Put your upgrade version in, and when it doesn't find the qualifying product, it will ask for the other CD. Insert that, it will have a look, then ask for the upgrade CD back and continue its install.

wmf files not printing properly from mac office applications Posted: 10 Sep 2007 01:02 PM PDT Hi Karen: Eeeewwww :-) Last time I saw WMF do that, it was because the graphic was too complex. I would just check that you have the latest update to QuickTime on your Mac that's the converter it's using. Where did you get these WMFs from? I would be inclined to copy these pictures out on the PC using Visio (or any other graphics program...) and convert them to PICT. You need to use a real graphics program for this, because WMF and PICT are not exactly equivalent, so some serious computer processing is required for an accurate conversion. Re-insert the PICTs on the Mac. PICT is to the Mac what WMF is to Windows.

Office 2004 -- how to force the fonts to reinstall?

No Office Application will open!!!!! Posted: 09 Sep 2007 12:55 PM PDT OK - that gives a clearer picture of the situation:-) The very first thing you'll need to do is borrow your housemate's disk, but it will need to be a Full Version, not an *upgrade* - if it's from an upgrade package you'll also need full version install disk to complete the installation. Although using one of his/her keys is technically a EULA violation you can be the judge there... or better - if possible - have someone from home locate the key for your copy. In general the procedure will go as follows, but review the web page via the link below; Rename or move the Microsoft User Data folder. Next the installation disk has a Remove Office utility program which you'll need to run in order to remove all traces of any versions of Office currently installed. Run the utility more than once to be sure it gets everything. Once you reinstall Office apply the 11.3.5, 11.3.6 & 11.3.7 updates in that sequence. You should then be in good shape. Complete details can be found here for step-by-step instruction: http://word.mvps.org/Mac/RemoveReinstall.html If you have any further problems or questions don't hesitate to post them here. BTW, this _ain't_ my job:-) All who contribute here do so voluntarily, so you may very well get some additional input from others picking up on the thread. -- HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac <com> wrote in message news:googlegroups.com... |
Problems with Office 2004 Posted: 08 Sep 2007 08:22 AM PDT Thank you. That seemed to solve the problem. |
A trial version later than 11.2.1 needed Posted: 07 Sep 2007 08:27 PM PDT Hi David: This problem has two causes: 1) You ran the updaters out of sequence. You must run 11.3.5 first, then 11.3.6, then 11.3.7. 2) You actually have installed the paid-for version of Office on that computer as well. If you have, you need to remove both. I suppose it could be that the Test Drive version you have has expired? It will neither work nor update if its trial period has expired. The only way around that for testing purposes is to set your system clock back to the time when the test drive did work. But I would be amazingly careful doing that if I were proposing to synch: it is likely to destroy your mobile device database. Backup, backup, and back up the backup... Later versions of Microsoft Office are not available on disk: all MS CDs are pressed with version 11.0.0 on them (so everyone knows what version "the CD" is at).

files disappearing Posted: 06 Sep 2007 08:46 AM PDT John McGhie wrote: Hi Alex! John has a good idea about "file server protocols". A lot of Mac users don't realize that they can connect via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) and SMB (aka CIFS). AFP is the Mac's native language for file sharing and SMB is the Windows language for file sharing. Macs are great because they can do both but each method has its own limitations. Placing a file on the server via SMB and then later trying to access that file via AFP can lead to problems and vice versa. Try this... Have your user connect to the server first using: "afp://servername" or "afp://serverIPaddress". How does the file appear this way? Next, have your user connect to the server using "smb://servername" or "smb://serverIPaddress". How does it appear now? You may not necessarily be able to use both of these protocols but if you can then that's a good indication that the switch between protocols is your problem. Simply stick to one or the other and you'll be fine. Hope this helps! -- bill William M.

Excel is Gone Posted: 05 Sep 2007 08:38 PM PDT On 9/6/07 7:21 AM, in article C3058531.2AB3F%cast.net, "CyberTaz" <cast.net> wrote: Check in an invisible folder named "lost+found" The folder is located at the root level of the hard drive. To find this hidden folder called "lost+found, do a search for "invisible files" and "Excel". If you are lucky, you'll find the missing files. Note: Due to a bug in 10.4 (still not fixed AFAIK) the Finder cannot find invisible files. It is better to activate the finder, then under the 'go' menu, select 'go to folder'. In that dialog, enter "/lost+found" (without the quotes). If there is a lost+found folder it will open, if not, you will get a 'folder not found' error. In the future you can stuff/zip your Office folder prior to updating. This copy can be used to rescue a disaster like you experienced. -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> |
