Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / July 2005Office v.X compatible with Tiger?
I have just purchased Tiger and am about to do the upgrade. I own office v.X. Is it compatible with Tiger? I want to be sure, as I cannot afford to buy 2004 right now!!! Thnx a lot. There should be no problem whatsoever. Just one thing: if you're using Entourage as your default e-mail client, make sure you add your Office identity folder (Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X identities) to Spotlight's privacy list, which can be found in the System Preferences. The reason: Spotlight can't index Entourage's database, but it keeps trying to do so nevertheless, with the result that Entourage freezes occasionally. By putting your Office identites on the privacy list, you're telling Spotlight that you don't want it to try to index this folder, which should keep you out of trouble.

It's been discussed on this and other related Microsoft newsgroups. Entourage uses a database format which, at the moment, cannot be indexed by Spotlight: this means that Spotlight will not be able to search your Entourage data, whether e-mails, contacts or calendar events. I'm just telling you in advance so that you won't be disappointed too much, or think that Spotlight and/or Entourage is broken.

I have Office 2004, Tiger, and an HP LaserJet 1012. They all print without any problems here. Word, Excel, Entourage.  SignatureWalt Basil www.basilweb.net For me it has been just just Office v.X, Tiger, and HP. I understand the best bet these days is to use a Brother with your Apples. > > Good luck if you have an HP printer; I have had problems with Tiger and > > HP printer compatibility.
