Creating copies of mac office for 2008 installer

Hi,
I bought a mac office for 2008 installer and it's good for 3 macs (3 genuine license keys). I was thinking of creating DVD copies of it so I have backups for the other macs where I will install it.
Is this possible? Can I just copy the contents of the mac installer. I'm slowly switching to mac and i'm not sure if the process is just the same as in windows.
Thanks!

I am confused by the installation step that requires you to create a bootable USB drive for windows installation. What is the ISO image and why has it selected my Passport backup drive as the destination disc?

In the bootcamp installation it asks me to create a bootable USB drive for Windows Installation. To do so, I must choose an ISO image. What is that? When I click "choose" I don't understand the options presented. Is this the destination of the partition or where Windows will reside on the Mac? Why does it also indicate the the destination disk si my WD Passport Back up drive?

OK, so I have an apple superdrive hooked up to my mini (along with my Passport back up drive). I also have the discs for both 64bit and 32bit Windows along with the product key. I am still not sure what to do when faced with the options after "choose".

Why is Mac Office:2004/2008 acting strange?

After I upgrade to Lion 10.7.3 over a month or so, I experience problems with some of my documents in Word or Excel. The Excel opens to READ only and I am the only pperson that has the priviledge for it. Also when I go to leave a cell, the curson locks on the cell and grabs everthing in the path I move my mouse. I try to click it loose and nothing happens. After a while I do get back control of the document, but again it begins to behave strangely.
In my Word documents, I would be typing and all of a sudden the curson is some other place on the page inserting my input in the wrong place.
I have spent hours on the phone with the tech support people with Microsoft and Apple, but no one seems to be able to have my errant software work properly. In my furstration I purchased the 2011 version of Mac Office. I stll have the same problems after installing it.
I just realized also that when I did an upgrade of the MS Mac Office:2004 to 2007, I continued to save my documents in the 2008 version, but selected the 2004 format to save them. I understand that 2004 will not even open in the Lion OS X. So I am beginning to think I may have created an anomoly by intergrating the two versions while in the Lion OS X version. Does anyone have any nsight to this?
Also as part of my frustration with this software proble, I am not able to restart or shut down my Mac Mini from the drop down menu. The wheel just spins and spins for minutes and minutes, so I finally do a power shut down. The restart it by pressing the power button again to turn it on. Any clue to fix this problem.
My Mac Mini is a 2009 vintage. I am not an extremely knowledgable computer person. I need help. Thanks!

I have contacted them many many times. For two days I waited on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours. All total I have been on the phone with them over 6 hours and they are not able to find any problems with what I am experiencing. Thus I fell there is something with the Lion OS X that is the main source of this glitch. Thanks for your input.

How can I create subfolders in Mac Mail for an Exchange account?

I use Mac Mail on OS X 10.8.4 to download my Exchange mail, which is hosted on Office 365.
I can create folders inside existing subfolders in my Inbox, but if I try to create one as a first-level subfolder of the Inbox the option does not exist. Instead, it creates another top level folder and puts it at the bottom of the folder list, not inside the Inbox.
Can anyone tell me how to add a normal subfolder to my Inbox?

Exchange Basics
The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other and should be kept as clean as possible. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.
Exchange checks the server for updates every minute, any folder that has updates will subsequently be synced. Since Exhange has a limit on how many folders can be synced at a time, there can be a queue of folders waiting. The Inbox does get high priority so it will generally sync before other folders that also need to sync.
Keep your folders under the 2GB limit. That's approx 6-10K messages per folder (does not include subfolders) Outlook does not export folders over 2GB as .mbox files
Exchange Header
Inbox
Folder A <---this is wrong
Drafts
Deleted Items folder
Junk
Folder A <-- this is correct
It's best to move folders using your web interface (OWA) but you can drag in Outlook and/or Mail.
In Browser via OWA
Because of the massive changes the process is best done in your browser. I would also put Mail into work offline mode during this process. After all is moved on the server via the browser, I would delete the Exchange account and let it all download correctly from the server.

Pages won't open word documents created in Office for Mac

I'm using system 10.10 with the latest version of Pages. Although I've read that if you right click on a word document you should get the option to open it with Pages, and it should be translated. But I get a message that the document can not be opened. I created it with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 using Word.
I've been able to email those documents to people who use PC's and they have always been able to open my documents, so why not Pages?

I tried that, but no luck. I also tried copying my Office for Mac 2004 onto my new iMac 12,2 but that didn't work. because those programs won't run in the Yosemite operating system. I see that there is supposed to be a new Office for Mac 2015 version, but nobody seems to know if or when that will be released. I may purchase Officer for Mac 2011, but before that purchase I thought I'd ask Microsoft if the 2011 version would open up Work files created by the 2004 edition. Their support line put me in touch with someone in India who tried to be helpful, but I'm not convinced he really knows the answer. He tried to persuade me to get Open Office, but that's not what I want. I'd like to be able to compose documents on the Mac platform and send them as attachments to emails for people who I know are using PCs. I don't like that extra step you have to do through in Pages to export as a PC document. The same for Excel and Power Point.

Need hard drive space. How can I uninstall an earlier version of MS Office for Mac without affecting the latest version?

My excellent, but old Mac Book Pro only has a 160 GB hard drive. I've only got 6 GB remaining. I know I have multiple copies of MS Office for Mac installed and only need the latest. is there an uninstaller I can use to get rid of the early versions? Any potential issues if I do that? I use a 1TB drive for Time Machine back ups.
Thank you.

Office for Mac 2008

I need to be able to transfer data from a spreadsheet (not from my address book) to create address labels. I have not been able to do this in iWorks so I have been told to buy Office for Mac. I have purchased Office for Mac 2008 Home & Student edition. Before I install it, (1) Will this enable me to do this? (2) I have read many complaints on this site about Office for Mac. I am a limited computer user, Am I likely to have problems? I have been using Open Office but can't find a way to create labels on that.

i think there is no problem with office mac 2008 i had use it it is very user friendly so don't worry just follow the installations steps.....

My CD/DVD drive reads regular CDs/DVDs but installation DVDs such as iWork's and office for Mac it spits it out after trying to read it. Please help!!!

For some reason when I insert installation discs for programs like iWork's and office for Mac the drive does not read the disc. I tried movies and music and they worked perfectly. I was able to fix the problem with the iWork's disc by creating a disc image in another drive, I have yet to do this with the Office for Mac but I would like to know what could be the reason for this problem. Any help is appreciated.

@ RabidPineappler and Froggiefo20...
I forgot that I have an extended AppleCare Protection Plan, I contacted Apple today (in Sydney) and they took me through step by step. I tried inserting my OS X disc and it accepted it, I tried putting in a commercial DVD (Star Wars) and it started playing. I then tried putting in a commercial CD and it wouldn't work through iTunes. It made incredibly sick whirring noises and then eventually (approx 5 minutes later) appearred on my desktop, but iTunes7 would not recognise the disc.
Then he suggested I log in under another username which I did... Then my drive prompty died. It does not accept any disc now. He said that I need to have my iBook seen to by a technician. Since I have the extended warranty, my repair shouldn't cost me anything (the extended warranty was ovver $400, so it better not cost anything), so I can't give you an indication as to what you will be up for.
You do not need o take your iBook to the place where you bought it, but ensure you have your sales receipt.
Hope I helped.

What version of office for mac is mininally needed to be installed on 10.9? I just tried my own 2004, which as too old, am hoping 2008 or 2011 since I don't want to buy a new one...

Hi,
I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
or do I need 2011 at least?
Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
I'd like to know before buying anything......
Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
I hope someone can give me some advice!
thanks,

Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice.

How to help my friend install Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

Hello, I have a friend in North Carolina whose mom recently got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountian Lion (10.8), he will be coming on to join this discussion after I post it. He needs Microsoft Office for his mom and I just happened to have purchase 3 licenses (two of which I have already utilized). While talking to him over a Facetime call, I walked him through the steps of getting the free office for mac 2008 package from download.com (which seemed kind of sketchy). While the download actually looked legitimate, we ran the installer and it gave some kind of weird error message that said something like "Could not be installed onto Macintosh HD because the Mac OS X is not on that parition" (I'm paraphrasing my friend will contribute the actual message). Could someone please walk us through an easier (and preferably more secure) process? We just need to get to the point where I can give him my last license key. Thanks!
YraYra

You will have to check with Microsoft but I think what you are doing is illegal. The 3 license pack I think means 1 user 3 computers, not 2 users 3 computers.
You might have better luck posting on the Office for Mac forum. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1
