How to install office mac 2008 onto airbook

I have installed Office Mac 2008 onto Mac ig5. I want to do same onto macbook Air ( currently has 2004 version). How do i do this please?I have tried migration assistant and remote disc. One corrupted original 2008 version on mac ig5, the othre says not enough space on Air book.

It sounds like you don't have enough disk space on the MBA to install Office 2008. You have to clear out some room, or perhaps install only part of the new Office. You could consider throwing out Office 2004 first, though only if you have a way to put it back on again if the 2008 install still doesn't work.

    If you're talking about MS Office for Mac, you just need to purchase it, and install it. What seems to be the problem?

  • Re install Office:mac 2008

    Hi
    I bought Office: mac 2008 student and home in 2010 and had no problems. I then had to get my MacBook Pro completly wiped so I lost the software. I still had the backup disc so loaded it up and went through the installation process, I had to ring Microsoft support for my office product key which they found from the codes on the disc. This all worked/indstalled fine. The logos for each programme apeared on the icon bar. I then click on word (for example) and then another window appears saying:
    Activate Trial or Purchase
    "If you have a product key for office 2008, enter it below to activate your trial or purchase now"
    I have rung Microsoft again and they are now saying this is an absolete product and therefore can not assist me.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!
    Additional: When I re installed from the back up disc I entered the product key that I was re sent from Microsoft. Whilst installing I took down another product key that only includes numbers? I dont know what this is, but I have tried both product keys several times, in several ways
    If anyone knows what I should do please dont hesitate to reply to this message.

  • How do install Office: Mac 2011?  I am getting an error message when I go to the page...

    trying to install microsoft office: mac 2011 home and student.  i am directed to a page and when i click on the link I get an error message about security.  i don't have the option anywhere of entering the product key.  not sure what to do. 

    You need to download the installer from Microsoft after you purchase it. Then you will have to run that application and it will request the product key as it goes thru the motions of setting up the product.
    If you're trying to download an illegal version for free, that will explain the security message. The browser would be trying to protect you from yourself.

  • How to install office mac 2011

    I am tying to install the office mac 2011 student thing, it installed but when i type in the key thing on the back it says that the one i type in is too much numbers and letters..

    If the letters and numbers are separated by dashes or other punctuation, try ignoring them.
    btw This is the Pages forum, not the MsOffice forum.

  • Office:Mac 2008.

    I had Office:Mac X installed. I just installed +Office:Mac 2008+. Everything works fine except for Word. It just sends me a crash log every time I try to open it. I can usually figure this stuff out, but I'm at a loss here. Any suggestions.

    hello,
    make sure that when you delete office, you use the "remove office" feature that is a part of the additional tools. Also you can search through your home directory for parts of office that might still be there... look in your "cache" folder, "preferences" folder, and the "application support" folder. After you do this then, do a clean install and are still having the same problem, you should create a temp. account on your hard drive and see if office 2008 works there. By creating a new account and running the installer you will be able to diagnose the problem much easier, and see if it really is a font issue. In order to create a temp account you need to go into your hard drive, under the users folder, and duplicate your home folder, then YOU MUST change the short name of that folder. once this is done, you are ready to log onto that account and do some testing.

    I installed office mac 2008 recently...I have looked on line and deleted the files mentioned. However, I still get the Microsoft Office Setup Assistance window when I try to open word, excel...etc. Brand new office software....thanks.

    Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as the ones at: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/ rather than an Apple forum.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

    I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro.  While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011.  Is there a way around this issue?

    Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
    Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
    I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
    Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010
    Office Mac 2008   "    "     " Office for Win 2007
    Office Mac 2004   "    "     " Office for Win 2003

  • Trouble using Office:mac 2008

    I am not a computer genius, but have used Office for years on my old pc, and frankly wish I never gave it up, though I love everything else about my MacBookPro. I have loaded and reloaded the software, and it worked for a while, but as soon as I get a document from someone, it no longer works. True for Excel, as well as Word. It freezes and will not even let me access the program to open a new document. Do I just give up? It was not cheap, but I am tempted to just go back to a pc. Anyone?

    There had been many issues with the original Office Mac 2008. Microsoft has released several updates. Have you installed them?
    I have noted a link to the official Office Mac 2008 website for you to check out for more information.
    http://www.mactopia.com
    Good luck, and let us know!
    PS
    In my humble opinion, Office Mac 2008 is crap compared to Office 2007 for Windows. Office 2008 has been completely watered down from Office 2007. For this reason, I run Office 2007 on Windows via Boot Camp. It is unfortunate to have to do that, but that is just an example of how Microsoft likes getting back at Apple.

  • I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

    I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
    I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
    However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
    I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
    Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
    Thanks Dave
