Microsoft for MAC problems

Two problems that are causing me alot of wasted time - please advise:
1. I need to submit monthly billing in 5 minute increments via Excel. How do I change the decimal to accept two digits and not round up to one digit?
2. Accessing Word docs usually freezes my MAC - what can I do to prevent this?

1. Select the cells, Format menu>Cells… and set the number format to "0.00" or currency; or click on the Decimal digit increase button on the number pallet.
2. Try using Font Book to validate all your fonts. Remove any problems and resolve duplicates.

Microsoft for Mac documents are not compatible with PC versions

THIS IS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL PLEASE HELP!!!
I love Apple computers, but I may not be able to get one for my next laptop because of compatibility problems with Microsoft for Mac. Whenever I work on something for school on my Mac using word or PowerPoint, I'll bring it to school on a USB the next day, and the font, layout (and in PowerPoints, the timing) will all have changed. It annoys me so much!!! My Microsoft for Mac is completely updated so why isn't the latest version for Mac compatible with the latest version for PC?? It doesn't make SENSE!
If someone could help that would be really great.

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

Since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than this one, which is dedicated to using Mac/Windows compatibility.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

HT1338 I have Microsoft for Mac 2011 on my OSX Lion. I want to take advantage of Word Art and be able to flip text to print on fabric. Can't seem to find how to do this... Help, please!

I need to make t shirts for a family reunion. I cannot reverse the text (so the letter will print on a T shirt correctly). I have tried everything including u-tube videos. I could swear I have seen graphics (such as various banners on Word Art as shown on u tube videos) on one of my toolbars but cannot locate them now (would like to use them also).
Is anyone familiar with Microsoft for Mac 2011? I also have an HP Photosmart printer that should be able to reverse print but that too is defeating me but I don't give up...
Thanks for any suggestions!

For any object (photo, WordArt, etc.), right click on the object and choose Format Shape. Choose 3-D Rotation in the left column. In the X field, type 180 and press tab. Click OK to accept the change. Here, I reversed some WordArt text.

I transferred/migrated my files from my old 08 macbook 13" notebook to my new Macbook pro and now my Adobe programs and Microsoft for mac are not working. do I have to reinstall the programs?

I have recently purchased a new macbook pro, I had a macbook 13" notebook from 2008 and I trasnferred all of my files using the migration assistant. It said the transfer was completed and everything looked fine. but when I try to open my CS4 photoshop, illustrator, indesign or my microsoft for mac programs they crash. did the files not transfer correctly? do I have to reinstall them? do I need to wipe my mac and start again to clean out all of the transferred files?

If you still have your old MacBook, You can put the software installers in and image the discs using isk Utility and then copy them to your new MacBook Pro via a flash drive and install them from the disc images.
Another option is that you can connect it to your new mac in target Disk mode. Then you can use the DVD drive that is in the MacBook to install the software. To do this you would need a firewire cable plugged into your old MacBook and connect that to a Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor that is connected to your new MacBook Pro.

Hi guidolal,
Are you facing the issue with any pdf's on the Mac.
Have you tried downloading a sample pdf like any Adobe help file from the website and then check if you are able to launch it fine via Reader?

I know ClamXav is free from the apps store dont know yet about Sophos.
The AppStore version of ClamXav does not have a real-time scanning capability, if you think you need that. You can download the full version from here, which is also free.
If you are asking if Sophos is free, the one downloaded from here is.
SInce you seem to be asking everybody, I don't recommend any particular one over the other. I have both installed on this computer along with VirusBarrier X5 and MacScan. I don't currently use any of them routinely, but they are here if I should ever need them. Real-time scanning is turned off, but I keep all but VB up-to-date (my VB subscription expired a few years ago).

Is Microsoft for Mac leopard compatible?

Is Microsoft for Mac leopard compatible?

Thanks for the quick responses...
I was refering to the "MS office suite" of products"; Word, Excel etc...
It is good to hear that they run on Leopard...
Sortof funny that windoze works when some native apps don't
Now it's just a matter of waiting for SuperDuper, then I might consider upgrading.
I have the family pack disk ready to go...

Microsoft for mac issues( cloned hard drive)

I replaced my hard drive. I cloned it to my new hard drive. But now my Microsoft for mac is asking for the product key. I went into a back up pulled out the plist file and placed into the library on my new hard drive. But still nothing. Anybody have any tricks?

Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

Office for Mac Problems

I have Office for Mac 2004, which supposedly allows 3 installations, with 3 different Installation Key Numbers. I have installed it on 2 Macs, and all is fine until I try to use both computers at the same time. Then I get a message on the Mac on which I installed it second telling me that "a copy of this programme is already open", and if I want to continue I have to close down all the Office applications on the first machine! Very frustrating! I am almost certain I used a different installation Key for the two machines but cannot find the recoed of what Key number was used. If I look in "Properties" I see that the product ID numbers are the same until the last group of digits which are different on the two machines. How can I find which installation Key numbers I used on each machine, and is there any way I can get aouns this problem. I am nervous to unistall and reinstall in case I am then not allowed to reinstall with a previously used Key!?
Thanks,
Kendrew.

Dreamweaver CS4 and IE 5.2 for Mac problem

I'm testing my new/first website. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. The horizontal Spry Menu bar works fine in Internet Explorer and Safari but not in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac 5.2.3 (5815.1). The horizontal menu bar becomes vertical and the submenus are not available. I've run browser compatablity tests for every Web page and my CSS files and they come back "no issues detected." What can I do to correct the problem? I have a PC (Vista) and have been using my neighbor's Mac to check the browser. Thank you.

Do not worry if your site does not function at all in IE for Mac. That is deprecated software that has not been developed since Jaguar/Panther. It in no way reflects IE on Windows and statistics prove the majority of Mac users use Safari or Firefox with Camino and Opera in behind them.

This is not a Mac problem. It's a known issue (although not recognized by Microsoft), it's just a flaw on the Windows Live network. it happens on the Windows client too time to time. The exact reasons are unknown.

Excel 2011 for Mac problem on Mavericks?

I have an unusual problem that just reared its head yesterday. I'm on Excel for Mac 2011 v. 14.3.8, and Mavericks 10.9. I don't know if this is specifically Mavericks related or not.
I have a file that resides on my Mac Pro in our den. We have our two MacBook Airs set up with file sharing, screen sharing, etc., so that we can easily access and update that file from our Airs (its's our personal finance spreadsheet, a critical document for us!).
All of the sudden, when we try to access the file from our Airs via conventional file sharing, we get the following message: "Excel could not open 2013 Finances.xlsx because some content is unreadable. Do you want to open and repair this workbook? If Excel cannot repair the file, some data may be lost" Our options in the dialog box are to Cancel or Open and Repair. When I click on the latter, I get the following message: "The workbook cannot be opened or repaired by Microsoft Excel because it is corrupt".
Interestingly, though, I can open the file normally from the desktop, so the file doesn't appear "corrupt".
Also, from our Airs, I can open up any other file via file sharing, so it's not a global File Sharing problem.
Also, from our Airs, I can open the file via Screen Sharing, interestingly.
Finally, I went into Time Machine and restored the file from a few days ago. It continues to get weirder. I can open that restored file fine via File Sharing on the Airs. Then, from the Airs, if I add some new data, then save it, then try to reopen it, I get the error message and am unable to open it from my Air while being able to open it from my desktop.
I've posted to a Microsoft forum as wel, but I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

Excel for Mac and Excel for Windows are not 100% compatible. I would ask in the Office for Mac forums http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1
