| Is the product key validation language dependent ? Posted: 27 Jul 2009 11:42 PM PDT Thank you Michel, your response is perfectly clear. As I only have keys from a downloaded version of US Office, I guess I'll have to wait for a downloadable version of Office in French when Microsoft will produce it, or buy a retail product in French as of today. |

| Running OFFICE 2007 for the PC under Parallels Posted: 26 Jul 2009 07:22 AM PDT I believe the release date is 22 Oct, but pre-orders are being accepted now. I'm not certain re its support in Parallels as I use Fusion, but have seen reference to others using it with no problem - apparently Beta or other sources of Win 7. Should have qualified that in the reply :-) Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 7/27/09 7:50 AM, in article C6930CE3.BC0E5%com, "Bob Greenblatt" <com> wrote: |
| The Office 2008 for Mac Product Registration takes forever Posted: 25 Jul 2009 11:34 PM PDT On 26/07/09 9:43, in article caR9absDaxw, "com" <com> wrote: Hi Christopher, download the SP2 updater from Mactopia and see if you can apply it. If it works, see if the problem has disappeared. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid the best solution would be to remove Office and install it again. Once you've done that, be sure to apply all the latest updates. Missing support files are usually indicative of either a faulty installation process or an incomplete update process. -- Michel Bintener Microsoft MVP - Macintosh *** Please always reply to the newsgroup. *** |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2009 04:07 PM PDT Sorry nobody got back to you sooner, but newsgroups are *never* the venue for immediate response - it may take as much as 24 hrs. for your message to even appear, let alone be read & responded to. That's during "normal business hrs.", Saturday evenings are even less likely to be when most of us are spending our time in the newsgroups :-) Anyway, if it's still of any use I'll try to give some general advice but your situation isn't clear - you've given no indication why you think you need to reinstall Office 2008 in the first place. Obviously I can't say for certain, but if you're experiencing some sort of problem with your current installation it most likely isn't a *re*installation that will correct it. Reinstalling complex apps such as Office is *never* the first step to correcting a problem & rarely is it a part of the corrective process. In fact, it can make matters worse & even cause other issues. In those cases where it is necessary it is only effective if a proper Remove Office is done first & then all pertinent updates need to be applied afterward. Applications seldom go bad & the files that do go bad aren't changed/fixed/removed by reinstalling, so at best it's a waste of time. Short answer to your specific concern: No, any reinstallation will not cause you to lose any user-created documents regardless of which app you created them with. However, it's best to do a removal of the currently installed software first using the Remove Office utility supplied with Office 2008.

| New/old problem with Powerpoint in Update 2 Posted: 21 Jul 2009 07:04 AM PDT > This is the kind of attack message that does more damage than good. The people monitoring this forum are volunteers, not MS employees. If you want to scream at MS, do it at them and not the people who are trying to help us. I would hardly characterize robor's message as an attack. And, it was not directed to the volunteers here, but rather directly to Mr. Montenegro, whose signature says "Macintosh Business Unit, Microsoft Corporation." Is he a volunteer, too? The statement to the right of where I am typing this says, "The MVPs and other volunteers here welcome not only questions but comments, feedback, and criticism." If disgruntled users don't "scream" here, where should we. While I have received a message from Mr. Montenegro that Microsoft has identified what they think is the problem with my un-openable file--that it is missing some bit of code that causes SP2 to reject it (deficiency I had nothing to do with)--I have yet to see a public statement from Microsoft that they acknowledge the problem, are working on it and will have a fix by a specific time. This whole philosophical argument about whose responsibility it is to ensure that a product works as advertised is ridiculous. The current problem is not a minor bug; it is a crippler that Microsoft does not offer a clear, simple path by which to recover. That is irresponsible. |
