Purchasing Office:Mac

Posted: 27 Sep 2007 11:06 AM PDT

Hi,

Apple stores normally sell third party applications, and you can be quite
sure that Microsoft Office is among them. As a student, you will not get a
discount on Microsoft Office; instead, you'll be able to buy the Student &
Teacher edition, which allows you to install Office on up to three different
machines, at a rather affordable price ($149). Note also that if you buy
Microsoft Office 2004 now, you will be able to upgrade to Office 2008 (when
it comes out in January 2008) for a minimal shipping and handling fee. Just
make sure you have some kind of proof of purchase.

Most Macs come pre-installed with a Test Drive of Microsoft Office; make
sure you remove that one with the Remove Office tool (Applications/Microsoft
Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office) before installing the full
version. To answer your question, no, there is no Mac that ships with a
pre-installed full version of Microsoft Office.

Office Crashes on Launch

Posted: 26 Sep 2007 02:28 PM PDT

Thanks for your help. I assume you are trying to be funny with your
"mind readers" remark.

Apple KB 30604 relates to a problem that occurs after an upgrade to
QuickTime 7.2 but I am still using QuickTime 7.1.5 so I didn't think
it would be the cause. But I installed the 10.4.10 combo updater
anyway. The problem still exists. No way am I going to risk trying the
"terminal" suggestion since one false move may screw everything up and
I don't think that's the problem anyway.

Please remember, Word, Excel and PowerPoint open and work fine if I
open them by double clicking an existing document. It is only when I
try to open them via the dock or the Applications folder that they
crash. Does this info from the crash report help at all:

Updating "Office" from "10.1.x" (office version not Mac OS version) to current "Office" version

Posted: 25 Sep 2007 06:36 PM PDT

If you have Office X (version 10), there is no free upgrade to Office 2004
(version 11). You can buy the Office 2004 Standard Edition Upgrade now and
then get the Office 2008 Upgrade when it's released in early 2008. More
information here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/>

As for Office X, the latest update you can apply is Office X 10.1.7, which
is available here:

crash when launching any office 2004 app on MacBook pro

Renaud,

Thanks very much for posting all the details of your fix and
especially the blog reference http://mactip.blogspot.com/2007/07/dependent-dylib-is-not-prebound.html
that you found. That permitted me to solve my "Excessive 2004 Word CPU
Problem" that I encountered in mid-July and posted about here, the
Word forum and an Apple forum. It is not the same as yours but a
similar fix worked.

I reran update_prebinding and noticed an error that I must have missed
before about a file not being prebound. Apparently such an error stops
the command at that point and does not proceed further. I found that
the /usr/X11R6/lib files listed in /var/db/dyld/update-prebinding-
paths.txt gave that error, so I made a copy of the file and with
emacs preceded all such lines with "#" to comment them out and then re-
ran update_prebinding. Word 2004 now does not use excessive CPU.

Thanks again,

Bob Fowles

Link to download Office 2007 converter (Beta version) is broken

Posted: 25 Sep 2007 06:40 AM PDT

Here's some advice from another user:
-----------------
If comcast is the ISP provider
they are having a problem with the DNS servers. The fix is to go to the
TCP/IP and enter 68.87.64.196 then on the next line type 68.87.66.196.
Click apply and go back to the ms.mac download page and get the update.

Diane,

Actually 306043 is specifically for Intel machines. Mine is a 2001

Intel, I had tried it and the prebinding after reading about it many
weeks ago. Re: the suggestion to delete all the files installed by

Sync Services error while Syncing with Mac & Entourage 2004

Posted: 22 Sep 2007 10:49 PM PDT

Hi Henry -

The 11.3.5 update is a "catch-up" that brings everything prior up-to-date.
It must be applied before the other two otherwise you'll get an error
message telling you that the "version can't be found" (or similar wording).

And Yes, updates must always be applied in the appropriate sequence and the
update page on Mactopia will tell you at what level you must be in order to
apply any given update. [11.3.7 requires 11.3.6 which requires 11.3.5, but
11.3.5 can be applied to *any* version that precedes it.]

Start here & click the "All Downloads" link on the right side of the page:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/

Keep in mind that Office apps also provide the Check for Updates feature
that can be set to automatically do so on a scheduled basis, as well as the
Downloads & Updates feature which directs you to the same destination for
all downloads currently available.

Also - the screwy way things work - not *all* apps in the suite will reflect
the latest applied update version number, so even after you apply the 11.3.7
update you'll find that the About... info for each app is:

Word = 11.3.5
E'rage = 11.3.6
Excel = 11.3.7
PPt = 11.3.5

So if you ever need clarification on what update level has been successfully
installed for the *suite* go into the MS Office 2004 folder where you'll
find a folder called Updater Logs. There you'll find a list of text files
created at the time the update by that name was applied.

License Agreement

Posted: 22 Sep 2007 07:28 AM PDT

You either misunderstood or were misinformed: The Student/Teacher edition is
the only one that comes with 3 license keys. All other editions (Standard,
Professional) include only one key. Although each key permits installation
on 2 systems the software can only be in use on one of them at a time.

Theoretically, you can install the same package on as many systems as you
wish using the same key to do so, but it is A) a violation of the EULA and
B) if the systems are networked only one will be able to run the software at
any given time.

Roaming Office Errors for Network Users

Posted: 19 Sep 2007 09:32 PM PDT

Just to add a datapoint to your investigation, I would suggest that the
issue is with the Temporary Files", not with the document file itself.

Word users require Rename and Remove permissions to the temporary directory
to be able to save their files. Word creates as many as 20 temporary files
per document, depending on how long they have it open and what they are
doing to it.

I have never done any Apple server network stuff, so I am way out of my
depth here: but I seem to remember that the system creates a temporary
folder in the root of the share. I can't remember whether there is one for
each user. But there's something in the mists of my memory about how the
users need to be in a group with RWX privileges to that folder, or you get
these problems.

Hope this helps

Unable to open Windows XP

Posted: 19 Sep 2007 08:55 PM PDT

The problem is that the VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) file is either corrupt or
missing.

PRAY that it is missing, and that you can restore it.

Because if it is corrupt, you're pretty much hosed. It's a large binary
file, and if it's bad, it's bad.

There is a way to "Mount" a VHD as a disk drive. Ask them in the VPC group
and they will be able to tell you how to go about it. I think later
versions of Windows will enable you to mount a VHD and get the data back
from it when the contained copy of Windows won't start. But if the reason
the contained copy of Windows won't start is because the VHD is corrupted,
that won't work either...

Cheers

Replacing text in different case

Hi Guys

I'm working on a document in Word 2013, where I want to replace an abbreviation (typed in upper case) that appears many times with the full phrase (in lower case).

In document from template, Quick Parts>Field for Document Title, not updating

I have created a Document Template in Word 2010, and from the Quick Parts>Field menu I added several Fields that should contain the Document Title.

In the Template, all Title fields I added were showing the correct title that I added in Document Properties, "Go to File>Properties>Show Document Panel & fill in the Title".

However, when I created a new Document from this Template and changed the Title in the Document Properties panel, none of the Title fields I added updated and still say the message "Go to File>Properties>Show Document Panel & fill in the Title".

Am I missing a step here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Customizing (Normal.docx and Building Blocks)

Posted: 03 Apr 2013 01:41 PM PDT

I spent the time customizing my Microsoft Word 2010 software for the group by storing styles, building blocks, etc. that are specific to our company and have deleted the Microsoft Built-in Building Blocks.  I stored all this customization in my normal.dotm, normal.docx and building blocks.docx files. I am ready to push out to the group but have come across an issue. I have done a trial with someone in the group and have emailed them the three templated documents to replace on their hard drive. When we did this that person does see what I have customized but also still sees the built-in default Microsoft stuff that I have deleted. What is the best way to resolve this issue?

"Wrap to window" how to implement on a formatted document?

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 05:44 PM PDT

Office 2003 on XP SP3.

I'm not sure how to describe this situation but I'm copying and pasting text from a PDF to Word and need to save it as a .txt file.  The line is wrapped so it doesn't go the full width of the screen.  I'm doing this to copy to an ereader (ebook reader) and can't have truncated lines everywhere.  Is there away of deleting all that wrapping in the document?  Under Tools, Options there is a Wrap to Window option which is unchecked.  What else can I do?


 For those of you struggling with reading PDF's on ereaders, converting them to .txt files really works.  You can't convert images, tables and other fancy stuff of course but the text is a dream to work with resulting in faster page turns and easy control over font style and most importantly SIZE.  Just copy and the text (use the Select Tool with Foxit) and paste to a document in Word that you save as a .txt file.  The file size is dramatically reduced as well.

Hyperlink URL text to a local document

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 10:35 AM PDT

Hello,

I am looking to hyperlink a citation that begins with a URL (e.g., "http://www.census.gov/ - Median Household Income.") to a file saved in my local folder. Currently, if I select the text and hyperlink to the document, the physical text shown in the citation will change. For example, if I have the citation "http://www.census.gov/ - Median Household Income." and I hyperlink it to a document entitled "Median Household Income," the text shown in the citation will change to "Median Household Income.xlsx." 

This does not occur if I change the order of the citation. That is, if I have the citation "Median Household Income - http://www.census.gov/" then I can select the entire text of the citation and hyperlink it to the "Median Household Income" Excel file, and I am left with the citation text as originally entered as well as a hyperlink that takes me to my Excel document. So, this leads me to believe it has to do with the fact the URL is listed first in the citation. Obviously if I could just change the order then I wouldn't have brought this to the forum, but it is important I list the URL first in my citation.

Thanks for your help in advance,

EDIT: I suppose I should add that the "citation" I refer to is a footnote, if this makes a difference.

How to do a Pass/Fail check in Word field?

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 08:26 AM PDT

I have a table in Word 2010.  Cell B7 has a product formula.  B8 has a product formula.  I want B9 to say "pass" if B8>B7 or "fail" otherwise. 

I have tried {IF B8>B7 "true" "false"}, but it does not evaluate the expression.  It just gives me "true" no matter what.

I have tried {=IF(B8>B7,1,0)}, which gives me the correct evaluation, but only outputs the numbers.

I have tried {=IF(B8>B7,true,false)}, which outputs 1 or zero, just as above

I have tried {=IF(B8>B7,"True","False")}, which throws a syntax error

I have tried {IF(B2<B1,"true","false") }, which yields a blank cell

Is there a way to pull this off?  I would not be opposed to having the pass/fail test done in the text outside of the table if I must.

I'd be mighty appreciative if someone could chime in with the magic formulation.  I can't believe this is beyond the capabilities of Word.

Thanks

"We're not showing definitions because we're having trouble connecting to Merriam-Webster."

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 01:05 AM PDT

Hi all, I've been getting this message in Word 2013 for at least the last 24 hours and off and on ever since I upgraded.

 

If I use the Define command in the context menu, I get an IE error page that tells me navigation was canceled. When I refresh this page, I get a page about the security certificate being invalid. If I choose to continue on to the site, the m-w.com environment does appear, but closing out of the app and using Define again takes me back to the start.

 

As a writer I've long relied on Word's integrated dictionary. I didn't complain when it went away. I didn't even complain when my best choice going forward was Merriam-Webster. But if we're not going to have an integrated dictionary anymore, the app substitute really ought to work, don't you think? The longer it doesn't, the more time I spend at oxforddictionaries.com.

Mail Merge, Filters, and Works 6.0

Hi Ken

I went back into MS Works Word Processor and found the
article by typing "mail merge." As I reread the
instructions, I realized the Help meant to check Tools in
the Word Processor, not the Database. DUH! I am humbled
and thank you for pointing me back to the documentation.

Microsoft Works & Excel

Posted: 27 Sep 2004 09:13 AM PDT

Windows XP is the operating system. It does NOT include Office, Works or other
applications.

If you want Office, you need to buy Office. There is an Office XP but it's not related to
Windows XP other than that's one of the versions of Windows that it will run on (Office XP
runs on Win98 or newer.). The latest version of Office is Office 2003.

If you just need Word (not Excel, Outlook, etc.), you can get the Works SUITE which
includes Word. The regular Works does not include Word.

Some PCs comes with Works and/or Office installed. But that was a decision of the PC
manufacturer. They are not part of Windows.

E-mailing documents

Hi Amber,

This is a problem were the sender has to know what program the receiver is
going to use when opening an attachment. Not all programs open other
program files.

Or, receiver has not installed converter that opens other program files.

For instance, on the menu bar of Works Word processor click File, then click
Save As, click the down arrow for Save as type. Notice the various
extensions for different programs.

I find most if not all Word processor programs can open a file with .rtf
(Rich Text Format) extension. You might try saving your document with .rtf
extension, then attach that file to the email.

The problem is: the program that extracts the data from the wdb file to
make a mdb file cannot read the results of formulas, nor the formatting
of numerical data. If MS had chosen to extract the data into a csv file
(the program for this is in MSWorks already) all would have been well.

If you use a flat file like Works does, you could download
openoffice.org from www.openoffice.org and use the spreadsheet for your
data. These can be merged into its wordprocessor without loss of formatting.

Huh.

Well I'm afraid that taps out my ideas here. You might try sending some
email to Works support and having a conversation with them. There is
probably something unique about your setup that is causing this, and they
can probably work through the details with you.

Sorry we couldn't set this straight for you on the NG.

All linux programs will work with all distributions of linux, with one
caveat. The binary versions are compiled against specific library sets
common to the distribution they were compiled against, so downloading a
mandrake rpm and trying to run it on, say, a red hat or linspire machine
might cause you a few headaches as different versions of the libraries are
required.

If you get the version compiled against YOUR specific distribution, or get
the source code and compile it yourself, it'll work no matter what
distribution you're on as long as you have all the required libs and
development files installed.

Multiboot partitioning questions

Posted: 16 Jun 2004 04:43 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup, Mark P uttered these immortal words:
 

That's exactly the reason. At best, everytime lilo.conf changes, you'd have
to re-run LILO, copy the boot sector to floppy (or where ever), reboot to
Windows, copy the boot sector to the Windows partition and reboot again if
you want to go back to Linux.

Of course that assumes you want NTFS partitions for Windows. The only reason
I can think of for using FAT32 is so Linux can read and write to the
partition. It's better to use NTFS and just have a small FAT32 partition
just for data shared between Windows and Linux.

Diff. between distr. (acc. graphics)

Posted: 14 Jun 2004 05:55 PM PDT

Davide Bianchi <net> wrote in message news:<de>... 

Oh, and did I mention I'm sort of a beginner with X11, Debian and
Linux in general? ;)
So, recompile what sources using what make-file, putting the modules
in what directory?
 

Yeah, I've been surfing on linux-laptop.net/tuxmobil.org the last few
days. These are my experiences:

* There is one report in english/german (there is two additional ones
in spanish (one for the 1353XC), but unfortunately I don't read
spanish although I did try babelfish on a sentencer here and there :))
from a person who has the same computer model as I (Acer 1353 LC). The
writer says:
"The VIA KM/KN400 is supported by the vesa driver of XFree86 4.x. In
XFree86 4.4 the via driver fully support this chip."
This would mean that I need XFree86 4.4 to be able to use the via
driver (and get accelerated graphics), right?

* By following a link from one of the spanish reports (I can read
those!) I ended up at http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/. A bit down on
that page there's a link called "Build" where it says:
"Contains various documentation and scripts useful for building
unichrome code for various distributions. This is currently limited to
the debian xfree86-4.3.0 branch."
This is the dist. and the XF86-version I'm running. So I looked at the
README you get to if you follow the "Build"-link. There it says:
"The xfree86 via driver works quite well on xfree86 4.3, so it is no
problem
dragging it into this and loading it for xfree86 4.3."
This sounds optimistic, saying that I can use 4.3 (since 4.4 isn't
supported by debian and won't be so, since they've chosen to go with
x.org). However, it still seems like I have to rebuild from source
(which will probably just get me into trouble), and then build the
driver separately. There are some source files along with an
"Imake"-file to get by downloading the "unichrome-X-r20.tar.gz" from
the project's file section. I guess this is the source for the driver.
However, I don't know what to do with the Imake-file.
There is a "Unichrome Mini-Howto" at
http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=102048
But if you scroll down to "Checking out and installing the via driver"
in the Mini-Howto, it says:
"Make sure you have a build tree of XFree 4.4 or later, which has been
built once so all object files etc. are there. "
So, now I suddenly need 4.4?

* I could just download
http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/video/KN_KM400/km400xf40039.zip,
(which I did), but as I wrote in my first msg, this easy-to-use
solution that (from what I understand) just includes running the
vinstall-stuff and making a minor change in XF86Config, only supports
Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE and Fedora. So for this to work, I need to
know differences between different distributions or I'm bound to screw
things up :)

* On http://flaez.ch/dab/aspire_1315lm.html, there's some good info
for the 1315LM (which seem to have the same graphics as my 1353LC). I
tried downloading the "xf43sav-27t.tgz" from
http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html#download, and just copying the
one and only file that comes with the package, savage_drv.o to the
directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers, as described on the
probo-page. I then put these lines in the Device-section in
XF86Config-4:
Driver "savage"
Option "DPMS"
Option "XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect"
Option "UseBIOS" "no"
as described on the flaez.ch-page. However, after these changes, I got
the error message when trying to run startx from the prompt saying "no
screens found".

So, I don't really know what to do. There are several paths that can
be taken, none without problems (big problems for a beginner) ;)
I've spent quite a few hours on this already, but it means so much to
have accelerated graphics. The alternative is changing distribution or
going back to fulltime winxp, but I really like my debian system and
most of things work pretty good now, except graphics acceleration.
Any suggestion(s)?

ATA-RAID RAID-0 woes

compile them - gives me lots of errors and I guess I'll start bugging
the Highpoint tech support team to give me a hand on that.
