Mac Forum / Applications / MS Office / February 2008

Every time I try to save my recorded class notes with Microsoft Word for Mac, my laptop freezes up and I end up having to Force Quit the app., and sometimes it wil allow me to recover the file and then save it. The problems seems to be getting worse.

Any suggestions?

I have a MS Word (old document, originally a .doc) that I update every month, write to PDF (using the MacOSX builtin functionality) and pass the PDF along. Since updating to Office2008/Mac (Student/Home edition), the people I pass the PDF-ified document to are complaining of an error

I recently up graded my Mac operating system from 10.4.9 to system 10.5.
Now when I try to open excel the message says that it is being used by me. It could be an issue with naming the computer. Everything worked before I installed the new system upgrade. It could be a software issue.

I recently installed Office for Mac 2008 on a new MacBook Pro. Once it was installed, when I launched the program (like Excel or Word) on the application launching screen (where it comes up showing which program you opened and the product key and the name of the registered user) it

Is it correct that the same Office application, e.g. Word, will run on more than one networked computer at the same time if they were installed using the 3 licenses that come with the H/S edition?

In Office 2004 there was a 'Search' feature to let me find help on a specific point. In Office 2008 there are 30 min tutorials that don't answer my questions. Please does anyone know how to search help in office 2008.

experiencing. Get this combo updater rather than using Software Updater to
download. A combo updater will go back and rewrite files that could be
corrupted. Software Updates are incremental updates.

Every program in Office 2004 quits if I attempt to print. I get the
spinning wheel of death for about 30 seconds, then it all implodes.
I've downloaded every update available. I'm running OS 10.4.11.
any ideas?

In Word X.v the inches from the page where the cursor was situated was displayed. Is this still available in 2008? Having the ruler on the side of the page is not as good.

Thanks.

I can open a file in Word if I double click on it while it is in a folder,
but if I try to use the open command under the file tab at the top of the page the whole program locks up any ideas or suggestions, I really have no idea who to turn to no one else I know has a Mac Office

As I am happy with my Office 2008 what is the best method to remove Office
2004 from my computer?  In addition, my Entourage mail folders for 2004
should also be removed.  Can I just drag the Office 2004 folder and the
Identities folders to Trash?  Is any other action required to ...

Hey,

I bought the Microsoft Word 2004 Student and Teachers edition for macs in June of last year, and installed it and it worked fine. However, I am in college now and I had to partition my hard drives, and lost all the data.

Since I don't have the CD's here, I asked one of
