Can I run Excel 2007 in Boot Camp and run XLSM files?

Since I have found no way to run Excel 2007 files with macros (xlsm format) on a Mac using Excel 2004, 2008 or NeoOffice, does Boot Camp offer support for running Excel 2007 with V.B. Macros? How about in Fusion or Parallels? Anyone know? Any PC switchers out there who have done this?

I read somewhere that there was a problem with certain incompatibilities in the hardware. I guess the only thing to do is just install everything and test the macros. It'll work or it won't. I'll post the results when I have them. Thanks.

  • Can someone explain the difference between Boot Camp and Fusion 3?

    I just purchased a 13" MBP. I here users are installing Win7 on their MBP. I've read Apple has not offically said they are supporting Win7. Some people tell me that you can run Win7 in a Window while running MAC OS. Other people tell me you can boot to either Mac OS or Win7. So my question is...is Boot camp the same app as Fusion? Why would you run Win7 in a Window under MAC OS? Do you have to install all your Win Apps within the Win7 window?
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I've been a PC user for most of my career life. This is the first time I've ever purchased a Mac. First it was the iPhone, not the MAC.
    Thanks,

    is Boot camp the same app as Fusion?
    No.
    Why would you run Win7 in a Window under MAC OS?
    To switch between the different OSes very easily.
    Do you have to install all your Win Apps within the Win7 window?
    They need to be installed inside Windows.

  • Boot Camp And Viewing\Editing Files From Windows

    I just ordered Leopard and I'm going to putting it on my 20 Imac next weekend. My plans are to install Windows Vista home premium through boot camp. Is there a way to access files from Windows on Leopard and vice-versa? I have MS Office for Mac and Windows and I do photo editing and it would be nice to access and edit files as needed whatever OS I'm without having to reboot. Some kind of third party software available for this? Parallels is OUT OF THE QUESTION for me. I tried it a few months ago and it was nothing but a nightmare. Left me with a really bad taste for it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Kappy,
    I did a quick look at MacDrive and looks like what I was wanting. Will download the trial after my transition. Another question: When I install and setup Boot Camp will there be an option to format the partition in NTFS or does it do it by default?
    Thanks again for the tip on MacDrive. I've only had this Mac for about 6 months and just learning what is probably old news to you.

  • Can I use Windows XP Home with Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion?

    I am planning on purchasing a new Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. I have a copy of Windows XP Home Edition that came with a 7 year old Compac computer, can it be used with either Boot Camp and/or Parallels or VMFusion? I REALLY don't want to purchase Windows if I can help it. Thanks!

    Read the boot camp requirements. I believe you will need a Windows disc that is stand alone. By that I mean a Windows disc that is not designed for a specific computer like your Compac. I believe that applies for Parallels and Fusion as well. Some of the newer disc that come with new computers may work since some of them are stand alone. I think your compac disc maybe married to your computer. You can try it when you get your Mac but it may not work.

  • Can you run Boot Camp and Fusion at the same time?

    Hi,
    I had boot camp installed on my mac pro and loved it. I decided to get greedy and install Fusion using the boot camp partition. The Fusion install went ok but then Microsoft started to get fussy. Every time I would do something on Fusion it would ask me to "Re-activate Windows" when I logged into boot camp. Maybe if I saw Fusion fully working I wouldn't want to run boot camp any more but I think I want to have the option to run either. Right now I only have 1 gig real memory on my mac pro and Fusion seems a little slow compared to native boot camp. Can I run both boot camp and fusion without having to buy two native copies of Windows XP pro? I don't want a "sensible" answer, I want an answer that takes into account how Microsoft treats this re-activation situation.
    I guess Leopard might make this all obsolete, but until then .....

    You need to make sure to install VMware Tools into your virtual machine (while booted into Windows via Fusion). Once you do this you shouldn't have to continually activate Windows when going back and forth from Boot Camp to Fusion. I've seen this discussed over on the VMware Fusion discussion boards, so you may want to look there for more details.
    Also, if Windows starts telling you it's been activated too many times, you can call Microsoft and they'll give you an alternate activation key. The phone number is listed on the Windows error screen. I had to do it and they were very accommodating. I just told them I was running Windows in a virtual machine, and there were almost no questions asked.
    You don't need to buy 2 copies of Windows to run both Boot Camp and VMFusion.

  • HT1846 can i install boot camp and run explorer 9 on my mack

    I need to be able to use Internet explorer (7 or higher) on my Mac.  If I install boot camp and windows will I be able to?

    Yes.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can't install win 7 using boot camp in Lion

    Hi !
    help please!!
    i can't install win 7 (any version)  on my MBP 13", i'm running Lion and that's when it all started!
    had no problem  on SL using boot camp and win 7 but now my win 7 installation just stops on last
    install step screen and that screen is there forever...
    did my steps like i've always did it using snow leopard and now it just won't work...

    Are you trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I get exactly the same problem. I'm going to try the 32bit version and see how I get on. I don't think 64 bit is supported just yet.

  • I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC or not?

    I forgot to back-up my information (pictures, excel documents) on MAC before installing boot camp and Windows.  I am mid-way through the process, at the point where I need to install the drivers. Will i be able to retrieve my documents on MAC and finalizing the Windows 7 installation (for the 1st time) or not?
    I am worried that  may lose my information... Appreciate any feedback! Note: already half-way in the process of installing!

    Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
    If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
    The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
    You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.

  • How to run WinXP Pro on iMac using both Boot Camp and Fusion/Parallels

    I have read on various forums that there is a specific order in which you need to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac (mine is a new iMac running Leopard), so you can run it natively with Boot Camp and simultaneously with OS X 10.5 using a third-party program such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
    Does anyone know the installation procedure/order in which to install VMWare (or Parallels) and XP (I bought a standalone copy of XP Pro), so that I can also run XP Pro natively using Boot Camp?
    I have been using Parallels for a year, but am thinking about switching to Fusion. Any thoughts on which one is preferred would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I am using Fusion 2.1 on a MacPro Duo. Installed it after creating a boot camp partition.
    Follow the instructions with fusion for multiple options. I boot into WXP Pro to use multi-monitors for work-related stuff on a corp. network. Otherwise, I use a virtual machine using the bootcamp partition to run both OS's simultaneously. Fusion is great (USB support, firewire, etc.) but does not yet support multi-monitors. Be sure to install boot camp drivers off of the Leopard DVD on the boot camp WXP machine AND on each/all virtual machines.......then everything works great!
    Before you set all of this up, decide how large you want your boot camp partition to be. Once you create it, you cannot change it (and the virtual machine off of boot camp either). I have grown into another hard drive and have to start over from scratch rebuilding my corporate windows machines!

    You can't. Only Windows 7 is supported in that configuration.

  • Can't send Excel 2007 File via Send To Email Option after Acrobat Install

    Normally, you can send an Excel 2007 file via email to someone by going to the Send option on the Excel file menu and choosing "Email." This will email an actual copy of the Excel 2007 file. However, since installing Adobe Acrobat  9 pro on my computer, this option, as well as the option to send to XPS are gone -- the only email option I have on that menu is to convert the file to a PDF and email it.
    It seems to me that Acrobat should ADD options to menus but not remove any! Does anyone know how I can get those missing options (especially the one to email the actual file itself) back? I've tried Googling up a solution, but to no avail so far.
    Thanks, in advance, for any help!
    Laura

    Thanks for taking the time to respond, Aditya!
    I saw that MS support article when I was trying to solve this issue on my own, but the solutions it proposes won't work for me -- I can't set Outlook as my email client (this is a work computer and we use Lotus Notes) and I can't muck around in the registry (again, this is a work computer). I know I can attach the Excel via the attach command in the email client, but the main thing is I don't understand why Acrobat has removed that option from the Excel menu. Also, it removed the Send to XPS option (which I don't really care about, but it bothers me because it shouldn't be deleting anything)!
    I even tried adding the Email command to the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel -- it let me add the button, but, when I click it, absolutely nothing happens.

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

    You need to free up disk space before creating a Windows partition. To see how much free space there is on the startup disk, right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
