Installing Word2007 via Fusion

I installed Fusion, installed Windows XP Pro, and now I want to install Word2007. The CD shows up on my Mac desktop, but I do not know how to get the program/application into Fusion.
I do have the Word for Mac, but I particularly like a Word feature that is on the PC version and not on the Mac version: the ability to highlight text and scroll through fonts and see the text font change as I scroll.
So, as I am new to Fusion, I need step by step instructions on how to install Word2007. I did look into Fusion Help, but found nothing that addresses my problem.
There is "conFusion" on my part. Sorry for the play on words but I couldn't resist it.

Thank You!
Installing via the Windows Control Panel worked!
I now have Office working on Windows XP Pro through Fusion.
The feature that I like best in Word for PC is the ability to move my cursor over highlighted text and watch the fonts change as scroll through the font styles. It's too bad that the Mac version didn't include that feature. Wish they would on the next update.
Thanks again for your helpful suggestion.

  • Is installing Windows via bootcamp bad for my hardrive? (It crashed)

    Hello,
    I purchased my new Macbook Pro 13" in January of this year, and my hardrive recently completely crashed. I was lucky enough to have Apple pay for a new hd, but I really want to know what caused it. The only thing I can think of that makes any sort of sense is that installing Windows via bootcamp screwed up the hardrive somehow and caused it to fail from getting worked too much from always restarting into Windows / having too much of my hd dedicated to Windows (150 gb of my 750gb SATA hd). I dont know if any of this makes sense, or if I just got really unlucky and got a bad hd from the factory. I have never physically damaged my macbook (like dropping it or whatever) and have never stored it in extremely hot or cold temperatures. The copy of Windows I installed was legit and everything....so I am scared to reinstall windows in fear that my hd will fail again
    So my question is this...... is there any way that the bootcamp partition could have cause my hd to fail? Is it safe to go ahead and install windows again?
    Thank you for you time.

    I have never heard of bootcamp causing hard drive failure. I think it is more likely that you were unlucky and ended up with a bad drive. Something like 1 in 100,000 fail, that 1 has to land on someone. If you are worried about bootcamping again I would recommend Parallels or VMWare Fusion. They are both excellent virtualization applications and offer a soft cap on the windows partition size because it is a file kept inside of OSX instead of a physical partition. I have been running Parallels for 6 months with no problems.
    Best,

  • Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

    Hi there,
    I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
    This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
    Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
    I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
    I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
    If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
    Cheers.

    According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BootCamp_%28software%29#Other_operatingsystems
    Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
    But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
    Cheers.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • Internal DVD Drive isn't working... must install Windows via Boot Camp

    My internal DVD Drive has died. Just keeps ejecting every CD or DVD I put in it.
    *The real problem is that i need to install Windows via BootCamp...*
    I've already defraged my Hard Drive and partioned it for the Windows installation
    But even using an external USB DVD Drive I couldn't get to boot up from it
    to install Windows XP SP3.
    BootCamp lets me use the windows disc that is inside my external DVD drive
    and it even restarts... but after the restart chime, and the grey screen, it doesn't
    start the windows installation... it continues to boot to my Mac partition.
    (i've tried to manually change the boot disc in System Preferences, but it was in vain)
    I also tried to use another Mac's DVD drive in Target Disk Mode... no results.
    I even tried to Copy-Paste the entire file system of a Windows installation from a BootCamp of a friend but had no success making it to work.
    *Is there any way I can install Windows with my external DVD drive?*
    Because I don't have the cash for buying a new one right now...
    And I really need windows installed via BootCamp...
    Thanks in advance,

    For this problem there no alternative > I bought a new internal DVD drive and then I was able to install Windows via Bootcamp.

  • Access Boot Camp Partition via Fusion or Parallels

    I already have a 20gb Vista partition on my Mac is it possible to access that via Fusion or Parallels without rebooting?

    I use Fusion with a boot camp partition containing Windows Vista. No issues when running both Leopard and Fusion with Windows.
    One thing to note though and that is if you are planning to play Windows based games via Fusion then forget it. It will be very slow and in most cases unplayable due to speed. Now, if you are running productivity software (MS Office for Windows etc) then you will love this convenience.

  • What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

    What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

    What are you trying to do?
    You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
    Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
    If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
    If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

  • Can I install Reader via GPO

    Hello,
    I've got an organisation (about 100 PC's/Laptop) that has multiple versions of the Reader software, going back to 8.1.0.  I'd like to get everybody up to the same version, but the quantity (and geographic locations) of machines means that's all I'd do.  I've recently started using GPO to install some software, so my questions are:
    Is it possible to install Reader via GPO.
    If it is possible do the users need administrative privileges to the machine or can the they be normal users?
    Thanks in advance
    Tony

    Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
    Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.

  • Install windows via bootcamp on macbook pro maverick

    I am trying to install wiondows via bootcamp on maverick (I have some tools for which parallels won't do)
    I have downloaded an iso image of windows seven from microsoft
    I have follwed the instructions on bootcamp utility
    The bootcamp utility has formatted my USB key
    My Macbook drive was partitionned by bootcamp tool
    But now what should I do ?
    When I just start the mac it says
    No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press key
    If I keep option pressed while the computer starts
    I can see three volumes
    The Maverick volume (When I select it it launches maverick)
    The recovery volume that is an apple tool for reinstalling a fresh maverick
    My USB volume called windows
    When I select my windows volume it says no bootable device -- insert boot disk
    What can I do ?
    Thanks

    Lilly,
    since you just got your new MacBook Pro, at this point I’d recommend making an appointment at an Apple store to show them what’s happening when you run Boot Camp Assistant. Be sure to take your Windows 7 disc and your USB SuperDrive with you, so you can show them how it currently behaves. Please include in your reply whether they were able to resolve the problem, and if so, how they did it, so that future readers of this discussion can benefit from your experience.
