Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / May 2005Tiger and Office 2004 compatible?
Apart from Spotlight in Tiger not being able to search Entourage, are there any major incompatibility issues with Tiger and Office 2004? - Dennis > Apart from Spotlight in Tiger not being able to search Entourage, are > there any major incompatibility issues with Tiger and Office 2004? None listed except some networking limitations in VPC.

Entourage 2004 will corrupt attachments such that they are unreadable by the receiving party. That's a huge problem, obviously. MS need to get a fix out ASAP! Kind of hard to believe they've had Tiger for all this time and they didn't have a service pack ready at launch. Major PITA for their customers. -m > Yes!

Not all attachments, or in all instances, obviously - my clients are getting them just fine. I don't follow the Entourage group regularly - what problems are you seeing? In the last week since I installed Tiger I've sent Word docs, Excel files, jpgs, text files, and pngs, from 2K to 2MB without one complaint. Many I've sent to myself at a clients, and they came through fine. Most of the time, I use AppleDouble, occasionally MIME/Base64. I never use compression. >> Yes!

JE, here's the more relevant Entourage thread: <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/b rowse_frm/thread/5aa10c29c16dc651/2e4d8ace81cfdeba?q=Corrupt+attatchments+si nce+upgrade+to+Tiger&rnum=1#2e4d8ace81cfdeba> > In the last week since I installed Tiger I've sent Word docs, Excel > files, jpgs, text files, and pngs, from 2K to 2MB without one complaint. > Many I've sent to myself at a clients, and they came through fine. > > Most of the time, I use AppleDouble, occasionally MIME/Base64.

Maybe it didn't break it, but it's no longer included--so if you do a clean install, it isn't there anymore. Can't really remember where I read that, so here's a more authoritative source. http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2005/5/2/186 http://daringfireball.net/misc/2005/04/tiger_details#stuffit Daiya > Maybe it didn't break it, but it's no longer included--so if you do a clean > install, it isn't there anymore. Ah, ok. I knew about that - but installing Stuffit Expander 9 seems to work. >> Maybe it didn't break it, but it's no longer included--so if you do a clean >> install, it isn't there anymore. > > Ah, ok.

Note my simplistic use of "broken" to signify "I have to actively do something to make this work." :) Daiya On 5/6/05 7:39 PM, in article jemcgimpsey-A7AF9B.20390506052005@msnews.microsoft.com, "JE McGimpsey" <jemcgimpsey@mvps.org> wrote: >> Maybe it didn't break it, but it's no longer included--so if you do a clean >> install, it isn't there anymore. > > Ah, ok.

It's the fact that Panther installed Stuffit Engine, Entourage installed its own more recent Stuffit Engine (7.0.4) but an Erase & Install of Tiger no longer installs Stuffit Engine, so Compression won't work. To get it to work, you have to either install Stuffit Standard or Deluxe - 8 or 9 - (which costs money if you don't own it already) - or uninstall and reinstall Office 2004 which installs Stuffit Engine 7.0.4, then do the updates again. If you did an Archive & Install of Tiger, you can move the StuffItEngineShell.cfm file from Previous System 1/Library/CFMSupport/ to /Library/CFMSupport/ on you startup disk, and re-launch Entourage. If you did an Upgrade to Tiger, you'll have no problem with Entourage Compression.

Emails will be ignored. PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. The issue I've been having with corrupt attachments has nothing to do with Stuffit or compression. I've turned off compression and use AppleDouble in Entourage 2004. -m May I ask what AppleDouble is?

A volunteer! Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ The issue that I have are using Excel 2004 under Tiger. Can't exit a cell that has a formula in it (Esc doesn't work). It seems that I edit a cell and I try exiting by clicking another cell and that cell enters edit mode. It unusable for most projects. Chuck Try hitting enter or return. Or tab. Esc is supposed to exit and cancel changes, right? I've never been able to edit a formula, then click in another cell to exit edit mode, in any version of Excel. But maybe I am misunderstanding what you say. If that doesn't work, post on the excel newsgroup. > The issue that I have are using Excel 2004 under Tiger. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Chuck SignatureDaiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: <http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/> What's an MVP? A volunteer! Read the FAQ: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ I've had major problems with Office ever since installing Tiger, though I'm not completely sure Tiger is the culprit. Excel runs at a snails pace - I have to wait several seconds each time I input any number in a cell. Also, both Excel and Word crash (stop responding) when loading them up, without reason. Memory should not be an issue; I've got a PowerBook G4 with 1.5GB of ram and both Word and Excel ran like melting butter on 10.3 I may uninstall Office and re-install, to see if it still has problems. If so, will uninstall Tiger and re-install 10.3, to see if that fixes it. But before I do so, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar problems?
