Formating MacBook Air, Problem with Microsoft Office

So last year I bought a MacBook Air 11" 120GB
now I live in Madrid and it was out of space so I decided to Format it.
This I thought was easy used time machine to create a back up.... created a seperate folder with what I wanted in my laptop (pictures, music, movies, copied everything that said office on it) did the restart comand R... erased disc..... started from scratch... everything worked.... Except Office....
I no longer have the key or the discs.... So I restored using Time machine... and the computer works great... it just dosent have any room on the disk....
IS THERE A WAY TO format the disc and then install office (2011) without the discs and key???
ONE more thing... might as well get it out of the way.... my sister just bought her first mac... she had been using my iphoto for some time to download her pictures... how can i export her pictures to her new macbook without losing the information that is atached to them... like location time etc...
p.s. english is not my first language sorry for spelling...

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

Problems with Microsoft Office

I really don't know where to post this as I can't find a Discussion forum for it, please re direct me if this is....
So I'm having a HUGE problem with Microsoft Office. I've had the Student addition, purchased it in a store, and have been using it since without any issues. Just yesterday, it told me I needed to download an update for it in the System Update. Well it downloaded without a problem, however during the installation it stalled and never completed. When I turned my computer back on, and did the System Update again, it said that my system was completely up to date. However, now the only too things in my Microsoft Office folder is PowerPoint and Excel. The other applications can not be located anywhere on my computer.
Now is there a way for me to fix this. I no longer have the CD with Microsoft Office on it because I'm constantly traveling. I'm extremely annoyed because I rely on Entourage for my emails, don't really like the Mail application. I just want to know what to do. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

When an installer 'stalls' during the installation, I'd guess you'd need to try reinstalling from the CD. I could be wrong though. Here is another forum that may help you if you don't get the answer here...

Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed. The most troublesome is that I cannot open any office programs (word, excel, etc). They try to open and then give me an error message.

Problems with Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011

Hiya,
I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and I'm having ongoing problems with the Office system. I'm doing a PhD so I use footnotes all the time and in Word 2011, the autosave function makes the footnotes disappear from the bottom of the page, but I'm not comfortbale working wihtout autosave running. I deleted Office 2011 and put Office 2008 back on my machine. However, since I re-installed Office 2008, the whole OSX seems to have slowed down.
Could Office 2008 cause my whole system to get sluggish? Is there anything that I can do about it?
I am also wondering if there is there another solution to my original Office 2011 problem with footnotes that doesn;t involve disabling autosave? Has anyone else has similar problems with footnotes? I just wiped my whole system and re-installed all the programmes, so I am surprised to still be having these same problems with Office!
Thank you for any help and advice!

You should try asking your Office for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out.http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

Snow Leopard Problems with Microsoft Office 2004

I installed Snow Leopard about two months ago. Ever since I have nad problems opening Microsoft Worrd 2004. Every time I try to open Word it hangs up at "Optimizing font menu performance..." Before I installed Snow Leopard I had no problems with any Office 2004 applications. I also have a lot of problems with fonts when I open Safari.

This message occurs whenever your installed fonts change. I work for a publisher so was getting it all the time as I turned fonts on and off for different projects.
In Office 2004, do this:
1. Go to */Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/*
2. Rename or move FontCacheTool. (Requires administrator access)
In Office 2011, do this:
1. Go to *~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/*
2. Delete *Office Font Cache*
3. From Terminal, type touch" then drag in the Office 2011 folder
4. Back in the Finder, do Get Info on the new, empty *Office Font Cache* file. Make it read only and lock it.
Notes:
1. WYSIWYG menus will now just show the font name in standard font.
2. You may be able to disable the 'optimising' message more easily by going to Word's preferences and turning off the 'WYSIWYG font and style menus' tick box in the General section. This takes affect in all Office applications but doesn't seem as reliable at preventing the caching problem.
4. Newly added fonts should still appear when you next start an Office application.
3. However you have Office set up, it can't see certain fonts. They are the ones logged to Console, e.g.:
12/04/2011 09:58:14 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/fontd[21782] ATS Font family could not be created for Abaton ITC Std - Legacy Applications may not see this font

Problems with Microsoft Office 08

Hi I am new to this discussion stuff, but I seem to have got a problem with updating my Office 08 to the 12.1.0 version on my Macbook. The problem is that it starts the installation process, but then stops right at the start and never does anything. Hope someone can help me with this.
thanks

Agreed. Both Microsoft and Apple are great at customer service. It's the thing that drives customers back to their company for the products and/or services they provide to the customer.
I've had a Windows Server 2008 product activation issue, they quickly resolved it. Same with Apple with my old defective Macbook. Both companies did an excellent job at doing that. However, I won't give kudos to Microsoft's XBOX tech support team. Sometimes they don't know crap about what they are doing.

Problems with microsoft office 2004

13" Macbook Pro compatibility with Microsoft Office

I just purchased a 13" Macbook Pro. Can I load Microsoft Office 2007 professional on this device?

Not unless you run Windows. Office 2007 is a Windows suite. For the Mac you need to purchase Office 2011 for Mac OS X - www.mactopia.com.
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.

Problems with Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access and any web browser

My university e-mail goes through Microsoft Office Outlook and I access it through the Web Access.
I have tried with 3 browsers (Chromium, Firefox and Gnome's Web, and with all of them I am getting the same problems.
Basically, once I log in, the css seems to be screwed sometimes (not always). I click in a e-mail to read it, and it does nothing (not always), I write an e-mail, click send, and it gives me a white screen error (not always), and then it is not even saved as draft.
I have this errors like 70% of the time, or more, which means that every time I want just to read an e-mail, I spend 5 minutes reloading the website, singing out, clearing cookies,... until eventually all seems to load correctly.
No idea how I can fix this, or how I can get this to work.
thank you!

The light version is set by default, and I cannot choose the non-light.
I assume it makes some kind of "webbrower check id", and mine sends whatever linux like id, which the server doesn't recognize, and it screwes me

Problems with Microsoft Office 2010

To whom it may concern:
I work in a school and we use Microsoft office 2010 here. Earlier this week (2) computers seemed to develop the same problem.
All of a sudden the entire Microsoft Office Suite seems to be taking a very very long time to open anything. For example trying to open a word document stored locally on the machine seems to take a while.
And, when using Outlook it seems that opening an attachment (word, excel, etc) seems to take forever. When you give a double click to the attachment, this red bar seems to start running across the top of the pane and it takes on average 1 minute to open
the attachment. This did not happen before and I am wondering if a recent update has anything to do with this issue.
Please advise.
Mark

Hi
For your issue, we recommend you start Office in safe mode to check the issue:

Problems with Microsoft office after system problems with 10.3.9

I had some problems with my G5, it lost the memory for the dock etc but I have been able to fix that but now none of the programs in the Office package are working and there is also problems with Illustrator CS2 they all crash at startup, I have tried to re-install the programs but the problem is still there. Knowing how Os 9 and earlier worked I know that it was possible to trash the prefs file for the program and it would usually solve the problem. Is there something similar I can do here without loosing my mails in entourage etc.?

Have you tried repairing permissions? Go to macupdate.com and download a free program called Onyx. Run the automate tab options.
I would also download and run the 10.3.9 combo updater from Apple. That tends to fix things as well.
