MS rarely leaves money on the table. <snip> Where exactly would this "killing" come from?... New users who woud go Mac rather than Windows or Windows users who would switch to Mac? Either way MS gets the proverbial egg roll so why should they compete with themselves? But your premise is flawed in the first place - kinda the old 'chicken & egg' routine - there isn't sufficient "Mac market' in which to make the imagined "killing" - If there were, MS would be there...

| Window position on the monitor Posted: 08 Dec 2007 11:54 AM PST Hi, Using visual basic macros (and probably with AppleScript) in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint you can set the window position. In Entourage you may be able to use AppleScript. Here's a snippet from the Entourage AppleScript dictionary: window n : every window elements contained by application. properties class (type, r/o) : the type of window bounds (rectangle) : the boundary rectangle for the window The "bounds" property is the first one I would check out, or look for a "border" property. -Jim Quoting from "com" <com>, in article googlegroups.com, on [DATE: -- Jim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ |

| Inputting address on entourage Posted: 06 Dec 2007 01:58 PM PST ..>> I'm wanting to input my contacts onto the address book in entourage. My This is an issue that has caused me some degree of consternation, as well. There is real value in maintaining separate contacts (both in Entourage and Address Book, if you sync them) for people that you likely email to regularly. That makes the auto-fill much more useful. When you need to print addresses you either have to manually edit one of the contacts or maintain a separate "coupled" entry |

I've just had to reinstall Office, following upgrade to Leopard (I know I could have just migrated the apps across from my old Mac, but my old Mac's still going to be using Office (for my son), so I reckoned I'd have to re-install to get the product keys sorted.) I'll file your tips away for future reference, as I'm still not sure which product keys are on which of my other two Macs! Cheers! |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2007 11:27 AM PST Although I'm not sure about the current situation I am sure that reinstaling Office isn't the way to handle it... rarely is that the appropriate approach for correcting issues on a Mac. It would help if you supplied the exact wording of the message you receive, but for starters it doesn't necessarily mean that a virus is involved. Secondly, Entourage - AFAIK - doesn't scan for viruses in the documents you attach, so I suspect that message is being triggered by something else... do you have Norton or some other virus software installed? One thing you might try is to remove the Normal template from your MUD (if you need reference to finding it see this link: http://word.mvps.org/mac/MacWordNormal.html Make sure no Office apps are running at the time, then launch Word - it will create a new Normal when you do. Then make a new file & see if it attaches without incident. If so, it indicates that your original Normal was corrupt in some way & you can then dispose of it. If you ahven't been in the habit of doing so when updating OS X & most other software it might also be a good idea to run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions. Should that not correct the problem - or if it recurs - post back with the details requested above. -- HTH |:>) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "Hennapanda" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2007 09:17 AM PST Glad it's straightened out, but as "odd" as the behavior may seem I'd stay with Parallels - depending on how you need to work. If your Win activity is exclusively Win, your Mac activity is strictly Mac & never the twain shall meet, Boot Camp may be a viable solution for you. However, I need to be able to swap back & forth between Mac Word & PC Word to Mac XL, To Mac InDesign to PC Photoshop, etc. so having to restart every time I need to swap OS is just not practical or acceptable - I'd rather have a Mac & a PC sitting side-by-side:-) On a related note, have you looked at VMWare Fusion? It may be worth considering, but either of the 3 will have pros & cons. Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 12/8/07 2:20 PM, in article houston.sbcglobal.net, "aRKay" <net> wrote: |

| Transfer Office files on a PC to a new Mac Posted: 04 Dec 2007 03:34 PM PST Side Note for the archives: Many people think that MacOffice comes with Publisher or Access or whatever programs came with WinOffice the last time they bought it. It sounds like you know this, but MacOffice consists only of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage (similar to Outlook). And Messenger. Publisher, Access, Visio, OneNote, FrontPage and probably other programs I can't recall right now, do not exist for the Mac, although there are programs that will let you do the same things, and in some cases, can import the MS files. Or the MS programs could be run in Parallels/Windows on the Mac. Bob Y wrote: |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2007 02:31 PM PST Hi Brian, Windows versions of Office don't have an equivalent to the formatting palette. However, you can create your own dockable toolbars (which you can also do in Windows Office). To create a dockable toolbar that has any combination of commands you desire use View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars/Menus... In the dialog box click the NEW button to create a new, empty toolbar. It will be very small and you might not even notice it on the screen, but it's there if you look around. Turn it on and off by checking and unchecking its name in the toolbar list and you might find it easier that way. Next, click on the COMMANDS tab of the dialog box. Drag any commands you like to your new toolbar (or any other toolbar or menu for that matter). You can lots of your own toolbars so that if you want various sets of commands together you can have that. Click the OK button when you are done and you now have your own set of toolbars. You can even attach customized toolbars to individual workbooks. Just go back into that dialog box and click the Attach button to attach a copy of any of your customized toolbars to any given workbook. When you give that workbook to someone else they will see your customized toolbar when they open the workbook. -Jim Quoting from "com" <com>, in article googlegroups.com, on [DATE: -- Jim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2007 06:54 AM PST For what it's worth, in Office X & 2004, the license agreement for the one-license version has allowed users to install the software on up to one laptop computer _and_ one desktop computer. It simply does not allow the software to be used on both machines at the same time. I am not familiar with the Office 2008 license agreement, so I don't know if this practice will continue; perhaps someone else can comment. With the Home & Student Edition, because you get additional licenses, you can use the software on both machines at the same time.

| Problem after updating Microsoft Office on my Mac Posted: 02 Dec 2007 07:40 PM PST Sorry, no. That's the Product ID, and although it is generated from the CD Key, there is no way to extract the CD key from the program, that I know of. But some people store their license numbers in their computer. I also have no idea where to find pirated software. If you will be back in reach of your Office CD within a month, I guess you could use the Test Drive until then, although it's a tool of the devil that you will need to remove before reinstalling Office. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/office2004/office2004.xml&secid=4&ssid=1&flgnosysreq=True Alternatively, the free NeoOffice might get you through until you get back to your CD. http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php You should also be able to contact MS and replace your CD. net.au wrote: |

The really ugly part is that the only way to activate the Help window is to click somewhere in it - when it opens, the workbook window remains active.
