Issue with new Office 2008 and Leopard

I recently installed Office for Mac 2008 on a new MacBook Pro. Once it was installed, when I launched the program (like Excel or Word) on the application launching screen (where it comes up showing which program you opened and the product key and the name of the registered user) it showed my full administrator password for the MacBook. Then when I went to look at the document properties for the application, under 'company name' is showed my adminstrator password. Not necessarily good when you send files to clients, friends, etc.
I uninstalled Office 2008, changed my admin password, then reinstalled Office. Same thing happened, except it was still my old original MacBook admin password. Obviously, it did not uninstall the entire program.
Does anyone know how I can correct this so it will not show my MacBook admin password everytime I launch one of the Office applications?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
I recently installed Office 2008 on a Leopard Macbook, and don't have these issues. The launch screen shows my name and the registration code only, and the document properties show only my name.
All I can suggest is you go to MicroSoft's Mactopia pages, and access their forums from there.

  • 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

  • Issue with new 9300 phone and Vodafone service

    Hi All,
    My name is Amol Supal.
    I am for Mumbai, India.
    I have bought new Blackberry 9300 curve from E Zone Chembur Branch, India.

    Hello,
    You will need to work with Vodafone...only they can look "behind the scenes" to see what is going on. Perhaps if they tell you why it is not able to register, that may provide some better hints as to what is going on.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Volume issue with new 30G IPOD and Dock while playing through a stereo.

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, I recently purchased a 30G Video IPOD and Dock. While playing through my Stereo I notice that 1) I have to turn up the volume on the IPOD to more than 50% and volume on the receiver to over 50% also and 2) the varience in volume of some of the songs varies consideably. I played by IPOD at a friends home through his Dock and stereo and he controlled through the volume control only on his stereo (same Onkyo as mine), it overode the IPOD volume control. His Dock is about a year old, seems strange that when I use my Dock on his stereo it requires the volume use on BOTH the IPOD and the Stereo. So it would appear that his older Dock is more convenient to use than my new Dock? The fluctations in volume of the odd song is still evident on his stereo as it is on mine.Any comments anyone? Thanks in advance. Larry

    Make sure Soundcheck on the iPod is enabled.
    I recall a few other people have mentioned the volume control on the iPod affected the volume out the back of the Universal dock.
    I have the older dock and it is not affected by the Volume control of the iPod.

  • Security issue with new version IOS and camera on front screen?

    Is it only my phone or is this a potential security bug?
    With the latest version of IOS, if the phone is locked, and the camera is selected from the front screen, by escaping from the camera you bypass the need to input a password.

    Although a good idea, requiring passcode doesn't have to be set as "immediately" for this purpose.  As long as the passcode is required and is now set (regardless of the interval), it will be required to enter the phone even when using the camera from the lock screen. 
    The OP made the mistake of trying this out at a time when the phone was not passcode locked at all and could have been unlocked without using the camera.

  • Network issues with Windows Server 2008 and MacOS

    Hello there,
    I believe it is a long shot, but i am running out of options. I got a video streaming server software running on my windows server 2008. It has a client that runs on MacOS and Windows. The windows client works just fine, but the macos client cannot stream
    a few videos.
    I've tried installing the streaming server on windows 7 and my mac client worked just fine, so I believe that win server 2008 got some sort of configuration that is blocking the correct communication between software. 
    Since the software devs could not tell me what's wrong or how to fix it, I thought I might get some help here (kinda of a last hope thing). I have tried installing codecs, enabling desktop experience and nothing worked.
    So, here is my question: Is there anything that windows server has that windows 7 do not that might be causing this scenerio?
    Thanks,
    Lucas

    Hi,
    Have you disabled the firewall on the windows server? The firewall may block the traffic if it isn’t configured properly.
    If it still doesn’t work after disabling the firewall, please install the Network Monitor on the windows server and client. Then capture the traffic of the video when the server and windows7 runs your software.
    Try to compare the traffic of windows server and windows7. Find out the difference between them.
    To download Network Monitor, click the link below,
    Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4

    The following article is about how to use the Network Monitor,

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Office 2008 and 2011 are compatible with OS X Mavericks.
    If you are using Office 2008, I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore

  • I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Wo

    I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2.  Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message.  The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress.  On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode.  Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it.  On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
    “The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
    “Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
    On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
    “Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
    The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
    How can I correct this problem?
    PS
    Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.

  • Used migration assistant to move office 2008 and now i cannot open it

    I had an old MacBook from 2008, and now have a new MacBook Air. Was told to use migration assistant to move my applications. I did this and now when I go to open any programme from Microsoft Office 2008, it takes me to Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, over and over and over... Its saying that I don't need to register...
    Any advice or help?

    I migrated Office 2011 and other than forcing me to enter the license code again (all 2 million letters of it) everything went OK.
    Note that when I tried to open Parallels desktop 6 it wouldn't open and said that it wasn't compatible with Mountain Lion and the icon had a sort of greyed out look. I upgraded to 8 and it started working. I wonder if there is any issue with Office 2008 and Mountain Lion? Probably not but it's a possibility.
    You can buy an external superdrive too from Apple. I bought one for my 2010 Air. But CD sharing from another computer should work. I bring it with me when I travel to watch DVDs.

  • Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

    Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
     What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
    Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
    I have tried these:
    1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
    2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
    Thoughts and suggestions?
    Solved!

  • Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

    Greetings everybody,
    I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
    I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
    On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
    If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
    THEN
    The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
    Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
    I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
    Thank you very much for your time and help!
