I'm planning on upgrading both my OS ( to OS X 10.4.1 )
and my Office ( to 2004 ) at the same time.
I'm planning to wipe my drive and update everything from
scratch. My question is regarding updating the Office

I am about to start using my G4 Powerbook (1.5 GHz, 512, OSX v 10.3.9)
at work and just purchased Office Professional because of the fact VPC
is bundled with it. I already have Office loaded (teacer/student pack)
and wonder what will happen when I load this newer version?

We are running Office 2004 on OS X and Novell Netware 6.5. When we try
to save files to the file server, strange things happen...
For instance, with Word: The file saves and then there is a message
that 'Word failed reading from this file <file name>.'

I am using 10.3.8 and recently, I can't get Word, PowerPoint, or Excel to
print because it says "No Printer Selected" where you can select the
printers. Entourage is the only component that allows for printing. I can
save as a PDF and then print it from preview (or any other ...

I'm trying to clear up some room on my hard drive, and I see that
Office 2001 takes up about 400mb of space.  I'd like to remove it
because I don't use the Classic environment on my Mac.  The thing is, I
upgraded from Office 2001 to Office X back in late 2001/early 2002.

Awhile ago I posted that I was having install problems.
I followed the MVP procedure for uninstalling Office, and I uninstalled the
software.  The odd thing was that Office 2004 was still there!  So I deleted
it and went from there.

word, entourage, excel; the software changes it to the letter "a".
does anyone else have this problem?

I _know_ this will sound bogus, but I've truly-rooly lost my Office Mac
disks. I've searched high and low and have come to the inclusion that
they've fallen into a wormhole and are being used on another planet.
This is no big problem at the moment as I have the apps. installed and

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 ...

Here is a good question that I'm having problems with. I'm the only one
using Entourage at my office and every one else is using MS outlook
which I got working great but I want to view someone else's calendar
from outlook but I don't know how to set it up. Is this possible to do?

Like Jonzy, I did not know that Office 2004 Test Drive was on my new
iMac when I installed the full version. Not to worry: I ran the removal
application from my hard drive. But it gave me a choice between
removing Office X (yet another version of this suite is on the computer

Apart from Spotlight in Tiger not being able to search Entourage, are
there any major incompatibility issues with Tiger and Office 2004?

How do I import entourage mail from my old computer?  I can't locate the
correct directory.  I found the main identity folder, but when trying to
import it didn't recognize the files.  I have entourage x on both macs.
Thanks.

I installed Microsoft Office 2004 (Student Edition) on my iBook when I
purchased it, then reinstalled it after some slowdown.  I used two
different access keys...does this mean that I have installed it on two
different computers? Can I use the access key that I used during the
