My new computer ( running Leopard 10.5.1) has Office 2004 Test Drive,
which I am sure I have not used. When I go to Remove Office the remove
screen does not show any check boxes for me to select to remove the
test drive.  Why aren't they showing up? Can I just trash the entire

I recently bought a mac book and with it purchased office mac 2004, I
was told by the retailer that I would be able to get the upgrade for
no cost from microsoft since the purchase date is so close to the new
release.  I am wondering if this is true or if I should return it to

I just installed office 2008 and realize it doesn't work with endnote.  Being a researcher, this is not acceptable and must go back to 2004.  Do you think I need to uninstall 2008 first or can I just put 2004 back on (I deleted it stupidly when it asked me during the 2008 installation).

Hi all,
Can someone remind me how to get the EndNote X1 toolbar to display in Word 2008?
thanx da5id.

What's the best way to take my '04 office macros (Excel and Word) and
bring them into '08?

Every time I log off WORD 2008 I receive this message:- "A file error has occurred. Check your network connections or make sure the disk is properly inserted and not defective. (Normal.dotm)" What does this mean?

All the computers at my school are running Office 07(only pc's of course).  If I get Office 08 for my mac can i create files on the 08 and then view them and edit them on the 07 version at school and vice versa?  This includes word, excel, and powerpoint.

Is the Excel version in Office 2008 for Home & Student the "full"
Excel? Or is it similar to MSWorks, that is not all formula's are
supported.
TIA

I just performed the upgrade from MSO 2004 to 2008. Using the import tool to get all my Entourage data doesn't works; the message states that no identity is found altough the file is there. In fact I can still run Entourage 2004.  Any suggestions? JGP

Can I simply delete my old copy of Office X by dragging its folder in the Applications directory to the trash after installing the new 2008 version? Any other files elsewhere that need to be trashed?

The Office 2008 upgrade seemed to install fine (OS X 10.4.11) but it
didn't offer to remove my previous Office 2004 installation, which is
still there.
Should I just delete 2004 from Applications? Delete 2008 and start over?

Hi I only had the trial version of Mac Office 2004 which now expired. Can I now buy the new Office online? I'm located in Africa. Is this regarded as an upgrade or a full purchase

I have Office 2004 on my Mac and am about to install Office 2008. But I have templates on Word 2004 that I am told will not work on 2008. So I want to run both versions, use 2008 regularly, but and 2004 when I need the template. Is this possible? It seems to me that it should be.

For some reason, when I save documents with an Office 2008 application like PowerPoint, even as an Office 2004 file, the Quick Look doesn't work.  Is this expected or is there something I need to change in the preferences?  There is one that asks about saving a preview with new documents

Do you know if the lack of live window resizing in powerpoint and excel 2008 is a bug, something that's lacking and they won't introduce, or just on my computer? I'm using office 2008 home and student edition on leopard 10.5.2 It just bugs me that something that every other app I
