Keyboard Input Type not recognized by Office 2008 Posted: 11 Feb 2008 04:55 AM PST <com> wrote: Interesting. I wonder if it could be due to font corruption... That seems to be a different issue than the other Input Method bug. You should launch Font Book from your applciation folder, select all fonts (or just Arial) and use the commant to validate the fonts. It might flag a corruption or two. You might also want to resolve duplicate font issues (they are marked with a black dot next to their name in the list of fonts). You right-click (Ctrl-click) the font and reveal the fonts themselves int eh Finder. Pretty convenient IMVHO. It really looks like a font issue more than anything else. If everything fails, you might even want to disable the different copies of the Arial font you have and reinstall the fonts from your Office 2008 CD (though I suspect that the Arial font from the CD is OK, and it migth be a conflict with another copy located on your drive).

Posted: 10 Feb 2008 09:54 PM PST OK, we have one of the most difficult combinations there is :-) I am going to assume that you have a corrupt document. Let's pick one of them and try to de-corrupt it. There are two main kinds of corruption: Internal Table, or embedded object. Internal Table corruptions are the easiest to fix, so let's do that first. 1) Open a bad document. 2) Create a new blank document and save it in .docx format. 3) Carefully copy everything EXCEPT the very last paragraph mark in the bad document. 4) Paste into the new document. 5) Save and quit. Re-open the new document, and try some editing: tell me how you get on. I can't tell from your description which kind of corruption you have (I am not even sure that the cause IS corruption). But this operation will give me some answers. If Word stops crashing, then the problem was internal table corruption, and it is now fixed. If Word keeps crashing on the new document, we have to keep looking.

How do you display email addresses as "undisclosed list". Posted: 10 Feb 2008 05:41 AM PST Actually, I believe that doesn't comply with the RFC :-) I believe there must always be at least ONE address in the "To:" field, or the email is not compliant, and some mail servers will refuse to accept it. Many people use their OWN email address in the "To" field, which avoids disclosing ANY of the emails in the BCC field.

Posted: 09 Feb 2008 10:34 PM PST Not 100% sure, but honestly, it could be. I really didn't ask. I will try to get a real version and I will post what happens. |
Make the Scrapbook work with the "Clipping Service" in OS X Posted: 09 Feb 2008 01:45 PM PST Already sent the same thing as feedback. I just wanted to see if anyone else would find this useful. There are many Mac users unaware of the power of the Services menu, let alone new switchers. Thanks for the heads up! And additions to this idea, or would anyone else find this useful? |
Remove Office 2004 After Office 2008 Installed Posted: 09 Feb 2008 09:55 AM PST Hi Peter: Whereas I *wouldn't* :-) Apparently it doesn't work with OS 10.5.... Many of the reviews on VersionTracker are lukewarm to negative, and some are downright alarming. I certainly do not want an uninstaller with "stability" problems, that has a history of wiping a user's entire Preferences folder :-) The Microsoft Office Remover tool does a very complete job, and it is built to precisely uninstall the product it belongs to. It was made by the people who installed the files in the first place. It does leave a couple of files in place: and there's a reason it does that :-) The problem with "uninstallers" is that unless they were made by the same company that made the application, their operation involves substantial amounts of guesswork. When deleting things from my system, that's one place I do NOT want any guesswork at all involved :-) YMMV On 11/02/08 12:13 PM, in article C3D50B5D.221%com, "Peter Vitale" <com> wrote: -- Don't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.

Need Help with WORD 2008 spacing Posted: 09 Feb 2008 08:13 AM PST You're welcome. Glad to help. 90% of Word annoyances have simple fixes. By the way, if you didn't already, do use the forum's ability to mark a reply as an answer. It will help others searching find the answer (once they get search fixed). com wrote: |

Office 2004, 2007, 2003 Powerpoint Chart Hell Posted: 08 Feb 2008 12:40 PM PST Hi Bill, Sorry that the OpenOffice suggestion didn¹t work out. Sometimes running a file through various translators can purge it of idiosyncrasies. Not always, though. About the best I can suggest to you is to send feedback to Microsoft that their current offerings are just not acceptable. Explain in specific detail the problems you are experiencing. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/suggestions.mspx?product=excel It would seem a virtualization product such as Parallels is the only way to go for your situation. -Jim Quoting from "Bill Weylock" <net>, in article C3D4B146.52523%net, on [DATE: -- Jim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ |

Creating a Greeting Card in Office 2008 Posted: 07 Feb 2008 05:21 PM PST Oops. I am sorry, perhaps I didn't explain. I want to make a greeting card to print out and give to someone, either a half-page or quarter-page layout. The Apple Mail is a good suggestion for e-mail, but not for printing. Any suggestions please? Thanks again! On 07/02/08 10:42 PM, in article C3D10F9F.12DF5%entourage.mvps.org, "Diane Ross" <entourage.mvps.org> wrote: |

License/Install key- how to change.... Posted: 07 Feb 2008 08:32 AM PST Perfect- thanks! now, if only MS could fix all the bugs- very disappointing how long this release took to come out, and when it finally does, there are all kinds of issues. typical MS I guess. |
Expression Media part of Super Suite Deal? Posted: 06 Feb 2008 11:10 AM PST Hi all: We are working closely with the fulfillment house to find out what the issue is - we have received some other reports of this, and will resolve it as quickly as possible. What you should get is the H&S edition and a DVD for Expression Media if that is what you chose. We will have an update on this newsgroup next week when we have more info.
