| Posted: 01 Nov 2009 11:57 AM PST What you give no indication of is your current update level of Office 2008, and you did not say what the OS X version is for the other MBP. If Office is not fully updated on each Mac (12.2.1) it may well be the cause of the problem. Confirming your update levels & repairing disk permissions would be the first step before chasing symptoms.

| Posted: 01 Nov 2009 10:35 AM PST Thanks, Diane. If you can help me out a bit more, are you saying the "Remove Office" would be in the Office 04 set, and would it remove only 04? Or it's in the 08 set and I should make sure it only finds 04 files? (Not that it'd be the end of the world if it removed the wrong one, but just so I don't waste time and effort.) |
| using 2004 on two comps. simultaneously Posted: 31 Oct 2009 07:45 PM PDT Hi Chuck; Just to clarify a bit, nobody "buys Office", they buy a license to *use* Office & each retail license applies to a single user. That user is entitled to install on one stationary & one portable system, but is not allowed to run any of the software on both at the same time. If the computers are on the same network there are safeguards built in that prevent doing so. That applies to any installations on separate Macs if the same Product Key is used for those installations. The only *legitimate* "workaround" is for each user to install using their own respective Product Key (license). IOW, either you or your wife need an additional license, which can only be had (for the retail package) by purchasing another copy of Office. As Diane points out, the Office 2008 Home & Student Edition (referred to as Student/Teacher in 2004 & prior) includes 3 Product Keys (licenses), so up to 3 users can install the software as indicated above. Each of the other editions include only one license. You also have to consider, however, that the Home & Student licenses do not permit commercial/business use of the software -- they're for personal (not-for-profit) use only.

| Posted: 29 Oct 2009 09:37 AM PDT I haven't used Suitcase since prior to the intro of OS X, so I can't comment on its current reliability, but I did notice that you mention having updated OS X... Have you also updated Office 2008 *&* Suitcase as well? It's also possible that the Office Font Cache (12) file is damaged or corrupt. You might try removing it while no Office apps are running to see if the problem continues. Also, there could be a corrupt font cache, especially if you don't restart your Mac at least every other day.

| Removing "link to previous" in section footnote Posted: 23 Oct 2009 09:44 AM PDT I've read through your series of messages several times but I really can't understand what you're describing. The Link to Previous & Different First Page attributes pertain to Headers & Footers -- those settings have nothing at all to do with Footnotes aside from enabling their formatting to be different in each Section. Also, Footnotes aren't "linked to previous sections". They are placed either at the bottom of the same page as the noted text or are at the end of the Section in which that text is located. I'm not sure how you were attempting to access Help, but this is a reasonably good summary of Sections. There is a good deal more as well: __________________________________________________ ____ About sections and section breaks Sections are a part of a document where you can set specific page layout and formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change properties (such as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers) for a portion of your document. For example, format a section as a single column for the introduction of a report, and then format the following section as two columns for the body text of the report. Word treats a document as a single section until you insert a section break. [Graphics Excluded] Each section break controls the layout and formatting of the section preceding the break. For example, if you delete a section break, the preceding text becomes part of the following section and uses its section formatting. The last paragraph mark (¶) in the document controls the section layout and formatting of the last section in the document. If the document does not contain sections, the last paragraph mark controls the layout and formatting of the entire document. You can change the following layout and format options for a section: Margins Paper size or orientation Paper source for a printer Page borders Vertical alignment Headers and footers Columns Page numbering Line numbering Footnotes and endnotes The following table shows examples of the types of section breaks that you can insert. In each illustration, the double-dotted line represents a section break. [Tables won't display properly in newsgroup messages.] Section break type Description Next page Inserts a section break and starts the new section on the next page. Continuous Inserts a section break and starts the new section on the same page. Odd page Inserts a section break and starts the new section on the next odd-numbered page. Even page Inserts a section break and starts the new section on the next even-numbered page. See also Insert, delete, or change a section break Insert or delete a manual page break Print specific pages and sections __________________________________________________ ____ If what you've managed so far doesn't work out as well as you expect it might not be a bad idea to submit a new message in the Word Forum rather than this general forum for Office. Try to be as explicit as you can with your description of how the document is constructed and exactly how you want it to be different. It's also good practice to specify your exact update levels of both Office & OS X. Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 10/23/09 12:40 PM, in article caR9absDaxw, "com" <com> wrote: |

I can't really "read" these things, but sometimes seeing something that comes back all the time helps narrozw it down, You can also create a dummy user account on the Mac and see if it still crashes from there.

| Please Help Me Out Of Word Hell Posted: 21 Oct 2009 02:55 PM PDT Hi, it's difficult for me to say as I don't have the document in front of me. Some formatting won't work because the invisible formatting made by the source (the webmail interface) was probably copied across before you started editing the list. My suggestion: never paste rich text content if you can avoid it. It is generally not a good idea to rely on webmail interfaces (see Bob's comments for further details), so I would suggest starting all over with the document, by pasting the plain text from the original source into a new Word document. If you often need to write documents, consider saving them on a USB flash drive, or perhaps give Google Docs a try. These two solutions are more reliable than the one you are using right now, and you do not have to waste your time reformatting everything.

Although Microsoft has released a PST Import Tool for Entourage 2004 for Mac, this does not solve the problem of exporting data from Windows to Mac, because this utility can only import PST files from Outlook 2001 for the Mac.[citation needed] It is incompatible with any PST files created with Outlook for Windows.[citation needed] In other words, the Import Tool only allows transfer from Mac to Mac, *not Windows to Mac.* Figures, Microsoft hindering a Win to Mac migration. |

| "Newer version is already installed" error Posted: 19 Oct 2009 08:27 AM PDT Who did you get the Mac from? I have a feeling that Office 2008 may have been installed previously [perhaps the free trial] and has not been properly removed. Unless you know what you're looking for there may very well not be any visible signs of the residue, but the installer will find those remnants. Try having a look at the complete removal process described on Diane's Entourage site & see if that will enable you to install. In particular see topics 2d & 5d-#4 as well as a Spotlight search for "normal" plus any files whose name contains com.microsoft so you can delete them. There may also be a Microsoft folder in HD/Library/Application Support ‹ Trash it too: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/install/index.html HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 10/19/09 11:08 PM, in article caR9absDaxw, "com" <com> wrote: |
