Office for Mac comes with a single or (for extra cost) a 3 license pack. Unless your sister has multiple user licenses you may not use her code.

  • Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

    Hi all,
    I have a very particular question.
    I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
    We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
    We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
    My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
    The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
    Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
    Neil Watson

    Thanks, Kurt--I understand now. 
    One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid!  I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch.  So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have two options:
    1. If you have another Mac or PC, use Remote Disc to install it on your Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287
    2. Buy an external optical drive and use it to install Microsoft Office.
    Both options work correctly. If you are going to use the optical drive once, use Remote Disc, but it will be much slower than using an optical drive connected to the computer

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

  • So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared.  Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical.  It's also been removed from my phone.  How can I get outlook to sync with ical

    When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone.  I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether.  Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal.  The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date.  In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone.  How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal?  If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone?  All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone.  This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out.  I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
    Office for Mac forums
    The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

  • Can i use pc laptop monitor for mac mini?

    I am going to be out of the country for a year - maybe in Africa, most likely in area not well served by technology.  I have to use PC for work so have a think pad.  I also have an ipad and a mac mini.  I really want to take my mac mini (mm) - it bridges a gap between these two.  It's small enough and I can use my bluetooth keyboard for both ipad and mm.  I can only take a suitcase plus backpack...so I am really not gonna haul a monitor.  Is there a way to use PC laptop as display for mm?  Weird, I know but I can only take so much...
    thanks for any help you can give.  cheers

    do you think one of these new USB powered mobile monitors (LED/LCD) might work - toshiba and lenovo both have them.  they say they are compatible with any windows computer - but why not mac?

  • WHAT REPAIR UTILITY CAN I USE BESIDES NORTON UTILITIES FOR MAC 0S 10.3.9?

    I have been reading about the Disk Utility and repairing "repair permissions" and frankly I am confused. Since we cannot ue Norton Utilities for Mac OS 10.3.9. Is there a repair utility which will "deep fix" my hard drive the way that Norton used to before Panther? Some say Disk Warrior and some say Tech Tool. Which one is most effective or is there something else for Mac? Thanks.

    Marcia:
    In addition to Disk Warrior, mentioned in an earlier post, there is also Tech Tool Pro. DW does a great job of Directory repair and rebuilding. TTP repairs and rebuilds the directory in addition to hardware check, disk scan, files check, and files and disk optimization/defragmentation.
    The first recourse, should always be, of course, OS X's own built in Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility), for Repairing Disk Permissions and Repairing the Disk, along with other tasks.
    ali b's links to maintenance sites also link resources for Unix Maintenance (also referred to as CRON cleaning) a very important maintenace item, and other very helpful utilities.
    Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing. The sites ali linked have a lot of very useful information and I recommend that you check them out. May I, in addition, commend you for discontinuing the use of Norton.
    Good luck.

  • I want to set up a custom footer for my office documents.  I have the home/student version of Office 2010 for Mac. Will I be better off purchasing Office for business or just stick with apple products.

    Hi,
    Can someone help me to set up a custom footer on my iMac.  Currently using home/student 2010 and it does not offer a custom option.  Will I need to purchase Microsoft business or would I be wasting my money.  I went to the apple store for guidance and they informed me they could not help me with the microsoft products.  To my surprise although apple has a version of microsoft, it is not a full version.  I did not purchase the apple word, excel, powerpoint and such to avoid problems sending letters and such to pc users.  Does anyone have advice or experience enough to let me know what issues may arise out of either choice. 

    Microsoft Office 2010 is out of date. You need to buy Office 2011.

  • Can I use my Office 365 for small business version of Sharepoint to develop a type of Business Database Management System?

    We have an excel sheet that job enquiries are logged into, estimates and a quote are produced, upon receipt of an order a job is started and once completed gets invoiced. Standard business workflow stuff, can I get 365 to automate this?
    I would like to be able to upon a new enquiry being entered and an order received, a set of job folders are automatically created using a unique number from the excel sheet as its job number. These folders would have certain document templates within
    them for use on the related job.
    I have been experimenting with Zoho Creator to develop a system to do this, but as we have adopted 365 (small business version) it would be preferable to be able to do this all in one place.
    Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    As I understand, you would like to create a management system to create folders via number in Excel sheet.
    In my view, we could import the Excel sheet to a list, then use workflow to get number and create folders.
    Here is a forum specific for Office 365 SharePoint for your reference, please confirm the plan with support engineer there just in case:

  • How can we use same material code for two different sales area

    Hello friendsu2026
    Hope you all doing well
    I am facing a problem and I will be thankful to all of you, for your suggestions
    Issue:
    I have a *material created in 3000/10/19 for domestic purpose *,now our company has decided to export it for that we have created a new sales are 3000/13/20 for export,we cannot create the salesa are as 3000/13/19 due to some  company issues,
    Is there any way how I can use the material already in 3000/10/19 into new sales area 3000/13/20.
    Will common distribution channel and division concept will be applicable here
    As the material is same,and we donu2019t want to go for any more new material code. *
    Thanks
    Siddharth Sharma

    Hi Sharma,
    when a material is used in domestic and exports.....i hope it should be seggreagated based on dist chnl.......but not division.
    because material is Division specific. it can be there in only one division. like mother child relation.
    that is the reason why...... it is maintained inside BASIC DATA...... but not in input screen while creating material master.[unlike dist chnl]
    because a material can be in multiple dist chnl....but not multiple division.
    I feel only alternative is creating new material if you are already decided to devide the sales by division for domestic and foriegn.
    Purpose of common dist chnl/div is to maintain pricing/condition in one common whenever you change master data.......
    hope this gives you the clarity
    regards

  • Can I use PA period date for Project Functional currency exchange rate instead of EI Date?

    Hi,
    We are planning to enable project currency for our projects. However while testing we have encountered one challange. We want to use PA date for all our currency conversions. However Oracle uses EI date to convert project functional currency transactions.
    Does anybody know any setup or solution to convert all expenditure item transactions based upon PA date instead of EI date? Help / Solutiion on this regard is highly appriciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    Do u mean you have already done your Trx in EI Date and now u want to use PA Period Ending Date?
    Please Correct me if i'm wrong, u want to update all the Trx from EI Date to PA Period Ending Date?
    If you update from EI Date to PA Period Ending Date, this will only be applicable to Future Trx's not for the one's already incurred.

  • Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

    Hi,
    Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
    Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
    Thanks,
    Bijay

    For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
    Thanks and Regards

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.
