MacOffice2008 - Word User Interface is in Chinese

Posted: 06 Mar 2008 10:30 AM PST

Did that computer have a copy of the Office 2004 Test Drive version in
Chinese on it?

Did you select to "Remove" it when you installed 2008? If not, run Remove
Office and remove it now.

The copy of Office 2008 you bought: Is that from Microsoft, or is it a
bootleg?

The reason I ask is that the English version of the DVD does not contain the
Chinese dialog boxes you are seeing, but the Chinese version does :-)

Hope this helps

Solver in Microsoft student

Posted: 04 Mar 2008 06:38 PM PST

There is no Solver in any version of Office 2008. It was a VBA add-in and
is no longer available because of the lack of VBA support in Office 2008.

If you want to download the individual updaters see this page:

Office 2008 Font Install:

Office 2008 uses a different method for fonts and many fonts are new
versions. Office 2008 will install fonts to the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft
folder. By being at the root, then all users on the machine have access to
them and you don't get Office 2008 putting multiple copies on the machine
for each user.

The installer will scour /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ for fonts with
the same name and move them to /Library/Disabled Fonts/ or
~/Library/Disabled Fonts/ depending on where they were found.

Licensing - Per User or One At A Time?

Posted: 03 Mar 2008 07:49 AM PST

Thanks for sharing--there is no Office for Mac Pro for 2008, and the
site doesn't list Office for Mac Special Media Edition--and to be
honest, I'm not 100% sure that Expression Media and Office are going to
have the same license terms. But it's probably Office that's essential
anyhow, and the Office for Mac Standard 2008 license will apply to the
Office for Mac inside the Special Media edition box.

Then you need to do as it says: Login to the computer as the Administrator.

If you believe you ARE an administrator on the computer in question, then
try using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the boot drive.

The patch is trying to run the Apple Installer program, and your computer
either won't let the installer start, or will not allow the installer to
write where it needs to.

Is it possible to limit length of the list offonts in MS Office 2004 programs?

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 12:29 PM PST

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't solve the problem. It's not just Word that has the long font lists. All the Office programs have these long font lists. The Word/Excel/PowerPoint font list includes fonts that are not "enabled", that is, it includes fonts not in the various libraries, but are located elsewhere on the hard drive. Office searches them out and list them. I would prefer to work with fonts the way I want to and the way other word processors on the Mac work.

Office 2008 Deactivation

Posted: 02 Mar 2008 12:22 PM PST

Yes, you are correct on both counts.

Microsoft Mac software does not yet employ the high-encryption software
activation needed on Windows. Apparently, Mac users are less likely to
steal software than Windows users, so Microsoft has not switched activation
on.

The procedure on Windows is not at all painful :-) Most of the time,
Activation will simply work. The software will automatically prompt to
activate as soon as you launch it when you are on the Internet. It takes a
few seconds, and that's all there is to it.

The only time you have to make a phone call is if authentication fails.
Which it can if you make a major change to the hardware after installing.
Then it's no big drama (well, the hardware failure may be, if it's your hard
disk that died...) but the Microsoft Activation Centre will just read you
back a new activation key and you're good to go.

Of course, if someone has bought a bootleg copy, they will have a problem
:-)

Hope this helps

Sales For Outlook has bugs - PAY ATTENTION MS

Posted: 12 May 2004 04:52 PM PDT

Hi Gary,

When installing the SFO, the user that will be using the
SFO must have full administrator rights on the specific
PC/Laptop. Once SFO is installed the user must continue
to be an Administrator on that PC. This is by design!

The AuthX.DLL file mentioned by a few people is an issue
I have experience with a Windows 2003 server hosting the
CRM. This does not occur in every install. The symptom is
that you cannot go off line - an error is displayed when
you try to go off line stating the server cannot be
found. The AuthX file is updated on the server(s) not
workstation.

I would suggest that you go to
http://www.sysinternals.com and download the regmon and
filemon tools. When you go offline you can monitor the
registry and files to determine if you are getting any
error, specifically ACCESS DENIED. You should then be
able to work out if you have a security problem and which
key or file is causing the problem.

As a FYI, I have been able to change the security
settings of certain Registry keys and files to take away
administrative tools from the user and still having SFO
work. This is NOT supported by MS.

I hope that the above helps.

Searching the share list .. can it be done?

Posted: 11 May 2004 06:59 AM PDT

John - Thanks for responding.

The SDK methods to RetrieveByPrincipal only seem to
return records that are owned by the specified principal.
That is the way it is documented, but I gave it a try
anyway and sure enough - it only seems to return records
owned by a principal. Since ownership can only be a User
not a Team this may not help me.

I can filter out records by use the
RetrieveSharedPrincipal method to see if the Team is on
the share or not, but that seems like a brute force
method.

Is that what you were suggesting?

Thanks so much!

word 2007 save bug

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 01:22 PM PDT

Hello.

I had started to create a document in MS word 2000 and copied the file after saving my work in a USB flash drive.

I opened the file and continued working on a different machine with MS word 2007 installed. It opened my document in compatibility mode. When I tried to save it (File-->Save) instead of saving it, an error message popped-up, my original file was deleted and MS word closed.

Is it how word is supposed to work or it is a bug never solved?

I can understand that if I want to work with earlier versions of a program, I should save my work in an earlier format, but newer versions of the same program, made by the same company cannot process the files of old versions? that's kind of weird.

New table style row height

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 09:32 AM PDT

Greetings. Building a document template and I've got my tables defined how I want them, except for one thing - row height. When I try to modify the table style, row height is greyed out. If I create a table from that style (which is set as the default table style), I can modify the row size in the table properties, but it doesn't seem to affect the actual table. I've looked at the obvious settings around margins and stuff, and nothing really seems to matter.

 

Here is an example. The top is from my style, and the bottom is just a table I created that matches my desired style. I need the top table to match the bottom style. As you can see, the only thing that's "off" is the row height.

 

 

What am I missing?

Word 2010 Line Spacing

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 06:09 AM PDT

Back in the old days, it was customary to create a subscript on a typewriter by rolling the platen down by half a line, typing the subscript (which was, of course, in full size Courier font), rolling the platen back up by half a line, and continuing typing. Word 2010 offers a fast and easy way to create a subscript, but the number or letter is in reduced font size. Also, the subscript can cause the line spacing to increase to accommodate the lower character.

I need to recreate an old document that was typed on a typewriter. The only problem I'm having is the subscript. After working on the problem for a couple of hours, I gave up assuming that Word would not do what I need. Using { advance } moved the text, but it also altered the line spacing.

Just a few minutes ago, I looked at the document in Word after it was scanned and OCR'd in Adobe Acrobat XI. One of the subscripts is exactly the way I need it. So, Word WILL do what I need. Now I need to find a way to do it.

Two questions:

1. How can I accomplish the task above? or

2. How can I look at what Word did to display the desired subscript in the scanned document?

The scanned document is available if someone needs to see it. Thanks!

update links macro not working

Posted: 07 Aug 2013 01:11 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I have created a template in my STARTUP folder. The template contains an AutoText entry and a macro.

 

The AutoText entry (_autotextEntry) contains links to an Excel file. I would like the macro to insert the AutoText, then loop through the links and update them to the Excel workbook that is selected.

 

The code below is not quite working. If I split the code into two macros, then run the first to insert the AutoText, then the second to update the links then everything works fine. When I combine the code and try to run a single macro, the chart links update, but the links to text fields do not update.

 

Is anyone able to shed any light on this? Thanks in advance,

Mark

MS Word 2010 - View and Edit the Linked Source Info for a MS Excel (2010) chart that has been pasted into the word doc

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:38 PM PDT

Hello everyone,

 

Here's what I have done:

 

1. Copy Excel Chart to Clipboard

2. Paste Special (as a linked object to MS Word)

 

I would now like to copy the MS Word Linked Chart onto a different MS Word Page and then change the data source info to a different worksheet in the same excel spreadsheet....

 

Is that at all possible?

 

Thanx for any help...

Cannot paste into Word 2010

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:28 PM PDT

I am running Windows 7-64 with Office 2010. I cannot paste text or pictures into a Word document, however I can use the special paste CTRL+ALT+V without any problem. The copy shortcut works fine as well, so it is just the actual CTRL+V paste shortcut that doesn't work.

The problem only persists in Word as well. Ive tried it in Excel and it works fine as well as in outside applications. Once the shortcut is pressed, it looks like its about to run fine, the cursor holds for a fraction of a second like it does in excel but nothing gets pasted. If I right-click and go to paste, it used to show the preview of the picture but has stopped doing that now, however the right-click paste with text works fine.

 I have tried almost all of the solutions I can find. I have rebooted my computer. Done a hard reboot by removing the battery, reinstalled Office, starting Office with addons disabled, uninstalled Skype Click-to-Call, run the "sfc \scannow" command in the cmd prompt, and reset all the shortcut keys. I have tried to do a system restore as well but either it doesn't work or it doesn't go back far enough.

I can find no other way to try to fix it. I did not want to waste everyone's time without trying to figure it out myself. Alas, I am at wit's end and humbly implore you for any and all help you can offer. Thank you kind people of the forums.

MS Excel (2010) To MS Word (2010) - When Trying to paste As A Linked Chart Object into MS Word, It Does Not Always Appear

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 08:10 PM PDT

Hi Everyone,

 

Not sure if this is a known issue or something I might be doing wrong...

 

Successful Steps:

 

1. Create MS Excel Chart

2. Right Click Chart and Copy

3. Open MS Word

4. Right Click and Select Paste as Link

 

What happens:

 

1. Create MS Excel Chart

2. Right Click Chart and Copy

3. Open MS Word

4. Right Click and Paste as link doesnt appear - Paste Appears

 

I create a column chart in MS Excel and want to then copy and paste to MS Word so that it retains the link so it gets refreshed.

 

However, and after some frustration, if you copy the chart, goto MS Word, and right click, the options to paste as a linked object pretty much most of the time do not appear....?  Say 1 in 20 or 30 attempts it will appear?

 

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanx in advance...

 

:)

hi everyone i have a quandary with conversion between word and word pad documents

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:32 PM PDT

 

Hello everyone  

 

I am running an Acer Aspire with Office 2007 on XP

 

I alternate between this and an older Mitac computer, running Windows 2000 which has wordpad  not word.

 

When I save documents in wordpad I choose rich text format although there are other formats.

 

When I transport the files back onto the Acer and Word the text runs past the desirable margins on screen and on page. i.e When I print them they come up in print preview as running over the printable area of the page.

 

I can cure this by doing a

 

select all

 

cut

 

paste special

 

using the unformatted text option.

 

With this the text is then back within desirable page margins … but I don't want to do this as I lose bold areas and presumably other formatting I would like to retain. 

 

Well if I were to methodically investigate help menus about margins etc over a period of time, perhaps considerable time, I would sort it. Are then any suggestions so that I can short circuit this niggling problem.

 

The reason to alternate to the second laptop is convenience…

 

Its set up in lounge, other laptop in bedroom… I am trying to write continuously through the day and get a book completed… so every convenience helps.

 

Thank you, from Simon Overall in New Zealand, the bottom end of the world. When you reply tell me where you are… the world out there fascinates me.

Hi Libra,

Perhaps... Insert the Works installation CD, it may be Disk one for Works

Installing 4.5 after vers 8 is installed will work great. Make sure you do
the update after installing.

I still install vers 4.5a on all my machines. It is hard to leave once you

Hi Nick,

There is a Streets and Trips News Group, you might try posting your problem

Anti Virus software can cause problems, hopefully you have had it disabled
