About opening .wmv files on MacBook laptop Posted: 03 Feb 2009 03:30 PM PST You need to install FlipforMac -- it's a free download from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx Note: Some WMV files have high-grade copy-protection applied. FlipforMac cannot decode anything higher than WMV version 9 coding, so you will not be able to play them. If your friend sends you one of those, ask them to re-save it as a WMV version 9 file so you can use it.

Posted: 17 Jan 2009 03:39 PM PST Hi Michel: Yes, I think you are right. He needs to "Activate" the software. Until he does, it will neither update nor work correctly (and it will stop working altogether after 30 days). If you can't activate by Internet because something is blocking the connection to Microsoft, you can activate by telephone: there is an option to do that in the Activation application installed with the software. Of course, you do need a valid product key that has not been stolen and used by someone else :-) That is usually the cause of an activation failure -- someone else has gotten hold of the key and used it before you tried to! In which case, talk to them on the phone: there is a procedure for mailing in your sales receipt and the product box to get a new key issued. You need to provide full details of the place you bought the software from.

Posted: 14 Jan 2009 12:29 AM PST Hello Mohaned Elkhalifa, I just landed on this message in the middle of the conversation. Unfortunately, PowerPoint 2008 (and all previous versions) on the Mac do not have the ability to open password protected PowerPoint files. OpenOffice version 3 is also not able to open password protected PowerPoint files. You can use the Help menu in PowerPoint to send a feature request to Microsoft that PowerPoint on the Mac should have the ability to open Password Protected documents. I am sure that if they knew that Mac users were facing this kind of difficulty that the would do something about it. Thanks. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP Mohaned Elkhalifa wrote: |
So... Is 2008 really ready for an Office Environment? Posted: 07 Jan 2009 09:08 AM PST Hi Tim - Jim's point in response to the OP's query means that if the choice is made to use Pages or Open Office rather than upgrading to Office 2008 the MS Office fonts won't be included. Therefore, substitutions will be made in those docs s/he receives from users of 2007/2008 where the MS Ofice supplied fonts *have* been used.

Get help in Office newsgroup....again Posted: 01 Jan 2009 03:43 PM PST This has gone beyond pathetic, but we're powerless on this end :-( It had occurred to me to put an announcement like yours in the Forum itself, but I doubt anyone would even see it... I may still give it a try. BTW - Happy New Year :-) Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 1/2/09 3:29 PM, in article C583B93B.351B8%entourage.mvps.org, "Diane Ross" <entourage.mvps.org> wrote: |
Can't open Word 2008 in another user account Posted: 25 Dec 2008 04:34 PM PST In article <C57AE680.34BC6%entourage.mvps.org>, Diane Ross <entourage.mvps.org> wrote: In this instance, the User account was not new, just one that I had rarely used except for testing. The lesson I learned was that one of the first things to do when troubleshooting--along other quick and easy basics such as restarting, etc.--is to create a brand-new User account to test with. (A little like unplugging and replugging an electrical cord, not just looking to see if it's plugged in.) What threw me here was that Word 2004 worked in that User account, so I assumed that Word 2008 should work just as well. That is something I will remember too as an unreliable indicator. In any event, thank you again for your help, which I really appreciated. You and the other MVPs deserve only the very highest praise for your tireless efforts and knowledgeable contributions.

Updating from 2008 Home & Student Edition to 2008:Mac? Posted: 23 Dec 2008 07:55 PM PST "Simon Goland" wrote: Installing is not supposed to touch your data in the Microsoft User Data folder. However, on rare occassions things happen and data is corrupted. I would move your Microsoft User Data folder to the desktop and let the install create a new blank one. Then you can move your folders inside the Microsoft User Data folder back. If I remember correctly, using "Remove Office" does not remove the packages and automator actions. (with the home version you didn't get automator actions). Remove all packages for Office2008: "/Library/Receipts" Original release DVD came with 12.0.0 installed, but later a DVD with 12.1.0 was released. Most likely you got one of the newer DVDs. Those with the original DVD will need to use the 12.1.0 SP1 combo updater then the 12.1.5 combo updater. Users with the later release will only need the 12.1.5 combo updater. You can find links to updaters here: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/downloads/mactopia_dl.html> 1) Log out/in with Shift key down before running updater. This quits all startup items including the hidden ones. (use this method for any updater that uses an installer) 2) Restart after updating Seasonal Greetings! -- Diane |
Fun one! Windows explorer search Posted: 18 Dec 2008 02:56 PM PST Bob, Thank you for the reply! I picked General Discussions from the list....must have been MAC general discussions. -- Have a great day ! "Bob Greenblatt" wrote: |
Cannot print 2-sided in MS-Word Posted: 08 Dec 2008 08:50 PM PST This is possible. When you go to print, press the command button + P for print. That will bring up a dialogue box showing a preview of the document that you are going to print. Where it says ³From² click on it and make it say 1 of 1. Repeat the same procedure for page 2.
