For example, an assert may be placed in a section of code that's never suppose to be triggered. But if the assert is triggered then something went wrong. SQM, which is the name of the server you're seeing, stands for Software Quality Management. What you're seeing is most likely the result of you having said "Yes" to the question during your installation that asked, "Are you willing to participate in the customer experience improvement program?" <http://www.microsoft.com/products/ceip/en-en/default.mspx> This is an anonymous program where you allow your software to send Microsoft feedback about how it's doing. It should never transmit anything personally identifying about you or any information that you are creating but if you're uncomfortable you can disable this in any Office 2008 application's preferences under "Feedback". Hope this helps! -- bill William M. Smith, Microsoft Interop MVP - Mac/Windows Entourage Help Page <http://entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> |
is there a downloadable TRIAL of Office 2008? Posted: 18 Jan 2008 04:17 AM PST In article <caR9absDaxw>, Poopsie <> wrote: Impossible to tell. Did you download the trial iWork08 version? Did it do everything you need it to do? If so, it's probably just as good for *you* (your imac will probably be indifferent...). |
Problems printing from Office with Leopard Posted: 18 Jan 2008 01:23 AM PST Same problem here. We discussed this issue in the Apple Discussion Forums at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6374169, but nobody found an acceptable solution yet. As noted there, this is an issue Microsoft did already confirm but didn't supply a fix until today. Of course we thought, the problem won't be there anymore in Office 2008 but we were obviously wrong... if we can't print with Office, it is just useless. |
How to manual complete remove Office 2008 beta version? Posted: 17 Jan 2008 11:38 PM PST Contact the Microsoft Beta team to get that information.

Office 2008 "Help" requires fix to on how to deal with changes fromOffice 2004 Posted: 17 Jan 2008 09:22 PM PST Hey Norman--awesome new feature! If you are using Online Help, you can provide feedback on a topic (at the bottom of each topic, make sure Online Help is on). Please also send your comments to MS through that--I think that will really help with the small specific details that Help may be missing. Norman R. Nager, Ph.D. wrote: |
Posted: 17 Jan 2008 09:01 PM PST Additional to Jim's sage advice, you also have to consider whether you intend to use the software to make money. If you do, I believe it's a violation of the H/S EULA just as it is in previous education editions.

Certain TTF Fonts not appearing in Office 2008 Posted: 17 Jan 2008 07:37 PM PST @ William Thanks for the suggestion. I use Cocktail on a weekly basis and tried emptying the cache as well both on the Intel and the PowerPC computer and nothing. The fonts are still hiding from me. Any other thoughts? |
How to Re-Install MS Office 2008 with a different Product ID? Posted: 17 Jan 2008 04:27 PM PST Try trashing the Office 2008 folder and the Office 2008 preference folder in the ~/library/Preferences/Microsoft folder. |
Excel 2008 cannot open xlsx and xlsb filescreated by Excel 2007 for PC Posted: 17 Jan 2008 01:59 PM PST Concerning the problematic Excel files, there are no macros, VBA scripts, ActiveX Controls, etc. in those files. There are, however, two charts on one of the spreadsheets contained within. I tried to use the converter, "Office Open XML Converter.app", on the files, at the request of Microsoft's technical support while I had them on the phone, but the converter responded, "Incompatible file type". Even if I could convert those Workbook files to, say, Excel 2004 format, they would be altered substantially, since there are 400 columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within. By the way, before adding columns to them,, I used to open those files in Excel 2004 without incident, i.e. the only difference between those files and versions of those files that I used to work with in Excel 2004 is that these latest versions have about 150 extra columns in one of the spreadsheets contained within. |

Posted: 17 Jan 2008 01:36 PM PST In Entourage, please see the Help topic "Import messages in MBOX format" By the way, I think the File | Import command in Erage would also have brought over your mail from Mail. Noel Gilmer wrote: |
MS Word 2008 student edition keeps crashing Posted: 17 Jan 2008 12:20 PM PST Thank you for your advice, John -- but so far it hasn't worked. When I originally installed Office 2008, it removed my old Office X. All the new programs worked great except Word, and when it kept crashing, I re-installed my old Word X just to get my work done. So when I read your post and tried to follow those directions, the only "Normal" template I could find in my whole system was in the old Office X Templates folder. There is no such folder in my Office 2008. I went ahead and opened up Word 2008 then quit as you advised, it said it was saving the Normal template, and quit normally -- then gave me the same error message. I launched it again and tried opening an older Word file, and it crashed again. I've also tried installing this on another computer, and same issues -- all other programs work well, but Word keeps crashing. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. |
