| News: Mac BU sweetens Office 2008 upgrade deal (Updated) Posted: 01 Nov 2007 02:29 PM PDT Hi Andre:
Not any more, according to my rumours. They are apparently intending to do
an upgrade release of VBA in Office PC. I understand that the death of VBA
is one of those about which reports have been "greatly exaggerated".
I would expect a migration to VBA.NET at some point in the future, but not
the abandonment of VBA.
I can't think of any "open standard" language that would simultaneously be
compatible with AppleScript and with the Microsoft Office object model.
The architectures are completely different.
I know there were some anti-VBA zealots in Microsoft on the PC side that
"wanted" to get rid of VBA. But the Fortune 500 companies all picked up the
phone to Bill Gates in unison and said "no". And some of them were not
especially polite. It won't happen. Not in Steve Ballmer's lifetime :-)
I also believe that if the Mac business community can make enough noise (and
maybe resist buying Office 2008) that VBA will re-appear in a future version
of Mac Office.
The bottom line is that an Office suite without automation is simply not
useful in modern business. And no corporation can afford to develop and
maintain two versions of the automation code. Read my lips: this is not
going to happen :-) Corporate automation is not simple stuff that can be
"recorded" from a few keystrokes or assembled from Automator Actions. Some
of these things are major development projects that may occupy three or four
developers for a year or more.
So: Unless Macs start to out-sell PCs in corporate business, the automation
will be written in VBA, and until Mac Office learns to speak VBA again, it
simply isn't "Office". It's just not "useful" in business.
That's why you are "hearing" a stunned silence from the Mac community.
Sure, the Mac Macs and the home users are rabbiting on at great length. But
they are easily impressed by the reality distortion field large software
companies can create.
The rest of us are looking at this thing with dawning horror, and wondering
how on earth we are going to get our work done in an Office 2008 world.
Abandoning our Macs is not going to happen :-) VBA.NET is a possibility, if
we get the promised "automatic upgrade" from VBA.
There are other possibilities that I am sure Microsoft would rather we did
not speculate about :-)
Cheers

No. a Talk list is via a subscription and email. You can receive individual

Good talk lists rarely need moderation and rules are there to make the list

lists that I recommend.
Mac-L (moderated list....includes both OS 9 and X.) and OSX talk (moderated

| Upgrading to OS X Leopard Posted: 01 Nov 2007 09:21 AM PDT You know something? This group is here to help people who don't know what
to do.
So it would follow that heaping scorn on the people who come here for help,
just because they do not know something, would be a tad self-defeating, no?
Then again, if you couldn't even work THAT out for yourself, I guess I
shouldn't be scornful to you, now should I?
So I won't say it.
But can you guess what I'm thinking?

| Trouble upgrading from Office X to Office 2004 Posted: 01 Nov 2007 06:51 AM PDT On Nov 1, 10:39 am, JE McGimpsey <org> wrote:
Thanks for the tip. While the link was for an Intel mac & I've got a
G4 PPC, I followed the directions anyway.
I reapplyed the 10.4.10 combo update, prebinding, and the Quicktime
7.2 update. I even went thru the daily, weekly, & monthly maintenance
routines.
None of this worked.
I finally solved the problem by updating office on the OS 10.3.9
startup disk. Then, using Tiger's Migration Assistant, I brought
Office 2004 to the 10.4.10 disk where its working perfectly.

| Office 2001 settings migration Posted: 31 Oct 2007 11:08 AM PDT Hi Lucas:
If you are familiar with the product, it takes a little over 60 seconds to
re-create the settings most users have. A new user may take up to five
minutes: although most of the settings are in exactly the same places as
they were in Office 2001.
As a network administrator, you can build an installed image of the software
and move that out to the users, with many of the settings pre-configured (as
described in the Office 2004 Resource Kit on the Microsoft website).
I suspect your faculty has a severe case of "Fear of Change". It wouldn't
be the first company I have met in that condition :-)
Cheers

Good morning
Is there a way to migrate the settings from Office 2001, to Office 2004?
One our faculty is adamant that recreating the Office settings in 2004 will
take an exorbitant amount of time, and it would be much easier to migrate
the
settings.
I have searched for a migrations method, or settings location on the Net and
have not been able to locate anything to help.
thanks much
take care

| upgrading to leopard: office not working Posted: 31 Oct 2007 02:33 AM PDT
Michael,
I did a clean install of Office 2004 (then updated it 11.3.5 -thru- 11.3.8)
and it's working perfectly. I'd suggest that that's your "nuclear" option if
all else fails.

| Office 2008 extension Posted: 30 Oct 2007 06:01 AM PDT And to further add to John¹s comments, the extension never mattered to any
office program on the Mac or PC. The extension is ONLY a means for the
operating system to associate a file with a program. ANY Office program (I
don¹t know about 2008) could open any file it knew how to process buy using
the application¹s File-Open menu command. The extension did not matter at
all. You could name an Excel file with a .ppt (or .doc or .xyz) extension,
and as long as you used File-Open, it would open and be fine.

| Streets and Trips 2008 with GPS Posted: 29 Oct 2007 10:52 AM PDT Well, I don't use Streets and Trips, but I do use a GPS receiver.
It can take up to three minutes for a GPS receiver to "acquire" enough
satellites to begin computing a position.
It depends on how long the receiver has been turned off: if it is more than
12 hours, it loses its predictive satellite map, and has to search for and
register all the satellites individually.
If the receiver has been turned off for only an hour or so, it can acquire
almost instantly if the satellites are all in the positions it expected them
to be in :-)
The acquisition period will be fastest if the receiver is stationary, with a
clear view of the sky and no car roofs or tall buildings in the way, until
it has acquired. Driving down a congested city street surrounded by tall
buildings, it may "never" acquire.
I would take your laptop and GPS receiver out to the middle of a park and
sit still there for five minutes. If it hasn't acquired by then, I suggest
it's bad, take it back to the shop and swap it out with a new receiver to
prove it.
Hope this helps

I couldnt find a specific group from that long list.
Anyway, most, but not all of the time, all I get when using the GPS
tracking feature is that it is "receiving data" but it stays stuck in that
mode with 0 sats.
This happens even when driving down major highways in large cities with the
laptop on the front seat near the window, or even when clipped to the front
window.
People tell me they can connect in seconds.
When connected to the laptop, the gps receiver glows blue, so it is getting
power.
What is the problem? How can I tell if the receiver itself is defective?
thanks
