Office Updater 2008 Stops working

Have you recently updated your Mac OS X 10.5 system with the latest
security update from Apple (released on July 31)?

If so, this security update breaks all Microsoft Office 2008 updaters
from notifying you that you need to quit all Office applications.

To work around this, download the updater from Microsoft's web site
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx>, log out of your Mac OS X
account and log in again with the Shift key held down. This will prevent
all startup items and Office daemons from running.

Run the updater and then restart your computer.

Diane is working on a blog post to explain more about this. Be sure to
check the blog link below and keep an eye for her post.

Hope this helps!

BASIC PIE CHART IN SMARTART GRAPHICS

Posted: 10 Aug 2008 06:37 AM PDT

It sounds like you are selecting only the labels without selecting the data
to be plotted. The size of pie slices, columns, etc. is determined by the
values being plotted, not by manual adjustment.

See the Help of whatever program you're using on the topic: Create a Chart

For future reference: Whenever you post it's a good idea to indicate not
only what program the problem pertains to but also what specific version of
that program. Charting, for example, can be done in Word & PowerPoint as
well as Excel. Also, in either of the three Charts can be created using the
Insert> Chart command or by way of Insert> Object> Microsoft Graph Chart
which results in a different process. Your message includes none of that
information.

Problem wth removing/reinstalling Office 2004

Posted: 07 Aug 2008 07:31 PM PDT

Check this page for the updates to Office 2004. The 11.3.5 updater contains
the fix for the Identity upgrade issue. You can try just upgrading to this.

The AUOffice2004111EN sounds like an early upgrade that is probably no
longer available. It could also be for the AutoUpdate application and not
Office.

BTW, why did your use "Remove Office" in the first place? I'm suspecting
that you have underlying system problems that could have resulted in Office
problems. The Combo will often fix these, but if the problems are wide
spread it takes an "Archive & Install." A lot of people are scared of doing
an "Archive & Install" but it really is not hard and the last time I did it
I only had to re-install my Microsoft keyboard software.

"Archive and Install" moves existing system files to a folder named Previous
System and then installs Mac OS X again.

Just be sure to check Preserve Users and Network Settings when you select
Archive & Install.

Archive and Install

1) Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X
icon.

2) Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the
destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will
be the only one available).

3) Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and
network settings, select ³Archive and Install,² and then select ³Preserve
Users and Network Settings.² If you want to erase everything on your
computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select ³Erase and Install.² You can¹t
recover erased data.

4) Click Continue.

5) Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you¹d like to install,
or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).


Once the install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the
disk you have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.5.0, that's what
version of OS will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate
Combo Updater from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version.
After you run the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any
additional updates.

help searches

Posted: 06 Aug 2008 05:58 PM PDT

I believe most of the issues you're encountering are because you're using
Publishing Layout View. It's more oriented toward Desktop Publishing / Page
Layout work, not for the typical document construction you're accustomed to.
If you work in Print Layout or Draft View I think you'll be far more at
home.

There's not much about adding a page because adding pages isn't something
you do in Word's conventional views. Publishing Layout is a new, radically
different feature of the program in the 2008 version. If you're in
Publishing Layout, New Page is the first command in the Insert menu, but
you're working in a totally different type of document structure.

As for the Help, there's no doubt it needs improvement. They are working to
do so, but it's a monumental task. If you're interested in learning more
about using Publishing Layout search Help for: publishing.

Office 2008 Files: Read Only, POSIX, ACLs Frustration!

Posted: 06 Aug 2008 04:17 PM PDT

Unfortunately, we haven't made any progress on this problem. The RTFD files
open and save without a problem. I am pretty confident at this point that it
is not a permissions problem with the server, as the permissions behave
correctly in every other application with every other type of file. As stated
earlier, they even behave if I open these supposedly "read only" files with
Open Office or Text Editor. Basically, every program that I try can open the
files correctly, except for Office 2008 programs.

We are now looking to get away from Leopard server and instead use our
Windows 2003 file server. For whatever the reason, Leopard Server is just not
playing nice with Office 2008. We do not run a complicated network and yet
have had nothing but problems with Leopard Server since we've installed it a
month ago. It's my opinion that the product, while it may work for some,
simply isn't ready for prime time (yet).

I'm going to also setup a linux based test server, enable SMB, and see if I
have similar problems with these Office 2008 files. That should give me a
hint if it's the SMB protocol itself, or if it's something that Apple has
done to the SMB implementation that doesn't play well with Office 2008.

Thanks again for your ideas!

MAJOR PROBLEM: Entourage 2008 Reminders DOES NOT REFRESH every dayunless I log out and log in again!

Posted: 05 Aug 2008 11:10 PM PDT

I usually log out daily anyway so I would never see this problem myself.

You mention that you must log out and log in to get the Office Reminders
working. Have you verified that you don't simply need to restart
Entourage? I'm not saying that's an acceptable solution but it's a step
worth testing while troubleshooting.

Also, in Entourage try turning Office Reminders off and on again under
the Entourage menu. Does that have any effect?

Saving to NFS shares reverts permissions to umask

Posted: 30 Jul 2008 06:19 AM PDT

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply.
 

I can confirm that this does not necessarily occur with other applications. For example, I tested with a .rtf file created and saved in TextEdit. I had another user create the file and save it to an NFS share (and set full read-write for everyone 777 permissions). I opened the file in TextEdit, made a change, and saved it. Checked permissions afterward: although *ownership* of the file changed from the other user to me, the mode of 777 was preserved, which would be the desired behavior for Office.
 

Those are the lines along which I was thinking: Office apps are not changing permissions per se on existing files (which, as you say, I don't think they would know anything about or be able to affect), but rather are creating new files and replacing existing files with these new files. I'd also love it if someone with knowledge of the Save process had any input to provide.

Thanks again,

Chris

Easy way to copy fields?

Posted: 27 Jun 2004 08:49 PM PDT

I know I can do this manually, I was inquiring if there
was a way to automate the process since each one takes a
decent amount of time. If not this would be a handy
feature to have in 2.0 and just have you "promote & link"
a field from say Leads to Contacts. This way you don't
have to worry about typos and instead of Create Lead Data
+ Create Contact Data + Link Them, you could
just "Promote" the fields you want copied and linked.
Because this doesn't just apply to contacts and Leads,
but I may have to do the same for opportunities and/or
Accounts, which will take forever!

User Tracking

Posted: 25 Jun 2004 10:53 AM PDT

I would really like to see a feature in crm which tracks everything a user
does. Perhaps a single entry in a table that says something like

on 06/12/04 user John O'Donnell [23923nj32498024] saved account record
[1212112] etc
ie a logging feature where you could choose the level of details you wanted.
If we have more post callout events in version 2 it may be possible to write
a tool to track this soft of info. It would be great when a user reports an
issue if we could see what they were doing. I find the errors CRM posts to
the event logs less than useful as they tend to be just exception errors
from the .net framework

Column titles in views

Posted: 23 Jun 2004 06:35 PM PDT

You can access a number of display attributes (such as
column heading), formatting (decimal points) , min/max
values and whether the field is required by customizing
the related form and adding the new field to the form.
The form is the anchor so to speak of the above
attributes. It seems strange that this information is not
included when you define the field in the deployment
manager given that it seems to fall into the category of
meta data. Incidently I found that you cannot add a
schema field to a view without first adding it to the
form.

How can I buy an ad-free version of Office 2013?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:51 PM PDT

Just got a refund for the Office 2013 software I purchased & downloaded Saturday.  As most of you know, Microsoft is now advertising products within the "new" Word templates. I find it appalling- this isn't ad-supported software.  I paid $220 to own the software and install it on my desktop. My time and attention are too valuable-  I don't want to pay to be sold something when I use Office; i.e. giftcertificates.com birthday cards and docstoc legal documents.  If I want to purchase something, I'll do a web search on my own. The Microsoft store refunded my money because even the high-level tech support people could not figure out how to remove the default ads.  I love Word and I'll happily pay for it if it is ad-free.  Anybody know how to get a version of Office without the built-in ads?  Do I need to find an earlier release?

Why do I have condensed fonts in some of my WORD 2010 document?

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:00 PM PDT

I am having a problem getting a document formatted into a single style. Every 10 pages or so I will have a paragraph or whole page that looks condensed, and I cannot figure out how to change it to the regular font size and spacing. here is an example of what I am seeing in the document: 1)the top paragraphs are condensed, 2) the bottom paragraph is normal. 1)- A double operation to be completed in thirty minutes; thirty minutes needed to bring the reinforcements from the German military base seventeen miles beyond the southern ridge; reinforcements the plan allowed to arrive too late but to bury their dead in a deserted ravine, guerillas already withdrawn to the hills. And the audacious plan had worked. The German guard patrol had been pushed back inside the airfield area and here they were joined by full battalion strength, men quickly roused from sleep, blood racing through bodies restless with long and boring camp fatigues, men anxious to press on, to follow up the retreating shadows in the night. 2) Three hundred yards, four, five; the guerilla retreat now lighted bright as day, sheet flame preceding crunching explosions throwing burning gasoline high above the plateau; a frightening wild tower of leaping red and white; harsh bright light reflected back below again by bulging black clouds of smoke hurrying high above the blazing **** unleashed below. A thrusting roar of fire now punctuated by short round and irregular bursts of grenades lobbed into leather cockpits of planes splintered and wrenched apart; mute metal tilted, now overturned, wheels alive spinning madly unable to escape the hungry fire rendering all to useless scrap. Both condensed and normal paragraphs are Palatino 11pt and I am using WORD 2010, Windows 7 64 bit. Can anyone explain why this is happening or perhaps explain how I can format the entire 120 page document the same way and resolve the condensed bits? I have tried select all, but that doesn't change things. Thanks very much for any help! Ps. Are there any web based businesses where I can send the document to have it fixed, so the font size, etc will be the same through-out the entire document?

How can I delete Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:46 PM PDT

Hey all,

Unfortunately, installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (on Windows 7) had some nasty results for me. When I opened a document that contained hyperlinks and citations which I managed with Reference Manager, it appeared that these were broken. Instead of seeing a citation, example: (1), I see a whole lot of text describing the citation (author type and that kind of stuff). My reference list, which is automatically updated, is also gone.

Searching the internet for this specific problem, I hardly find any useful and/or relevant information. 

I now want to delete this update, but I ran into different problems there. First, the update doesn't show in Control Panel - Installed updates, but it is there in Windows Update! Why is that? 

Second, there is a tool out there which deletes Service Pack 1 or higher for Microsoft Office 2010, but I cannot get it to work.

I cannot locate my log file, so I cannot remove the update.

If anyone recognizes this problem, please let me know because I just want a working Microsoft Word again with working citations. It was very useful and I had no problems at all.

If not, could someone please help me out deleting this damn Service Pack?

Thanks

how to type poem with line breaks after words in line

How does type a poem such as an e.e. cummings's poem that has word breaks or even syllable breaks within a line. I do not want to return to the left margin when starting to type in the line and I do not want to use spaces or tabs from the margins.

Example:

He had told him-
                         self "I am dy-

This example uses spaces, which are tedious and create issues in publications.

I set the Style settings to the specified requirements single spaced 0,0. After my teacher has opened the documents the line spacing is off. This is a problem we are graded on spacing and structure. I have set; re-set;and set the same settings and they will not remain the same. Each paper has the same problem. I used compatibility mode and still has not helped.

MS Word 2010: Changing Notes Styles Based on Bulleted List

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:35 AM PDT

Hello,

 

I imported Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles from a 2003 template to a 2010 Word Template.

 

The Notes | Cautions | Warnings styles are based on a Bulleted/Nunbered List style, however, when I click the Define New Number format button and change the font and/or point size, I cannot save these changes. Why not? How do I change the point size and Font in a Note | Caution | Warning based on a Numbered list?

 

 

 

 

 

 

word document throws message "some of the regions you can edit overlap, and it is not possible to show them at the same time" during opening in word 2013

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:32 AM PDT

Created a word document and protected the document, with parts of the document available for editing and closed the document. If the same document is opened in word 2013 throws a messages "some of the regions you can edit overlap, and it is not possible to show them at the same time.User the 'Find next region i can edit' button to show each region individually" during opening of the document. Only way is to click OK in dialog and then word displays 3 options select "edit document" under View to get back to normal view.

Is there a way to disable this message?? 

JPEG to TIFF

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:23 AM PDT

I submitted an article to a journal and although they accepted the article they requested that the photos be converted from Jpeg to Tiff with alteast 300 dpi. I tried an online converter but then the image I receive on my screen is just green. Does that mean it has been converted or is this defective? What can I do to rectify it?

Cannot embed Word 2007 document in an email

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:02 AM PDT

When using Word 2003 I could create a document then click FILE and SEND TO with the option to send the document embedded in an email (not an Attachment). In Word 2007 I do not have this option, the only options available are to send my document as an attachment. Is there a way to stop the document being sent as an attachment.

Template - Difficulties Ahead... Numbering, Cutting & Pasting

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 06:57 AM PDT

Hi all,

I have a question on templates using word 2010 that I have created: -

 

Document Style Numbering

Q1: I have created new styles in the template, these styles will not cross reference as Headings? also when exporting information to software packages outside of word they are not recognised? Does anybody have a solution for this? as otherwise will have to revert to using the Heading 1 -Heading 9 in Word and restructure to the formatting I created for the styes CM 1 - CM2

 

which now leads to problem 2

 

I done a test run on this and took my template, created a new template, rematched Heading 1 Heading 9 to be relective of CM 1 to CM 9. Deleted the styles that I had created and now the Heading 1 - Heading 9, the numbering does not work?

 

Cutting & Pasting

 

When cutting & pasting from other documents users are experiencing difficulties with the template (obv... the template opens as a new document), also I have had complaints about using graphics, i.e. the pictures jumping all over the place, has anybody experience this, and I have done something wrong when I created the template.

 

I really want to resolve early issues going forward and get this right,

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Word Find/Search Results Don't Fit Properly in Navigation Bar

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:36 AM PDT

I'm not sure when this changed or if I did something, but now in Word 2013 when I search (Ctrl-F) the Results that appear in the Navigation pane on the left are 1.5 lines long, which means I often can't see enough to read the result. I think this used to be 2 or 3 full lines.

 

Is there a place where I can adjust how much text is displayed for Navigation Results when using Find/Search?

 

How many rows of text do others see for each of the Results?

 

Thanks,

Colin

Word 2010 Table Formatting using VBA macros

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:17 AM PDT

Dear All,

There are around 50 tables in my word document and I want to change the height and width of every cell in the document.

I was able to get a macro which would select the entire tables but when I am changing the height its only getting applied to that specific table.

I tried googling a lot and couldn't get any information.

So could someone help me with a macro code which I could use? Height 1.5" and Width is 2.3"

Protected text streams

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:09 AM PDT

I've been editing a document and found it impossible to hyphenate a paragraph where it looks good.  The hyphenation seems to treat several words as one.  I don't know how, but evidently the author must have set some fomatting feature on the text.  It is not revealed using Show/Hide.  I guess my question is how can a writer do this and how can it be disabled?

Word 2010 default save as location not being used when opening attachment from emails

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:51 AM PDT

Using Word 2010 and Windows 7 x64 whenever a Word document is opened from either and email or the internet the "save as" location used is not the default network location I have set in Word 2010, It always opens up the documents library.

I have spent ages searching for a solution but have not seen this reported anywhere.

I'd be grateful for any help or advice you can offer.

Thanks in advance.

Setting style for Accent tool in Word (Windows, Office 365)

Posted: 06 Oct 2013 05:53 PM PDT

With regret, let me start by saying that inserting accented letters into a Word document on Windows is much harder than it should be.  I have to use a lot of foreign words.  When there is a touchscreen available, I usually find myself resorting to the on-screen keyboard, and holding down the letter to get the pop-up menu (quickly giving you eēéêèë, for example).  The key-combination method on the Mac isn't perfect, but it's much better than Windows can offer with a physical keyboard.  Given that most people don't often need to type words like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" or "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I think you should reprogram the hardware keys to work like the virtual ones. 

My question, however, relates to the Accents tool in Word, which is almost passable, except that the letters always appear in Cambria Math italics rather than the style set for the paragraph.  Is there a way to set a default font and style for the tool?  It's useful for more than writing formulas.

Thank you for any assistance.
