Microsoft Office 2001

Ok, I am running an iMac 233 rev b os 8.6, I have Microsoft Office 2001.
The problem is that when I open Word 2001 (it works perfectly ie: type, print, save etc.) and then close it, regardless if I type or not, it freezes, then the only way I can get out is by force quitting.
How can I solve this?
PS. This also happens when I open/close iCab

Hi, Mulligan -
Did Microsoft Office Manager (a control panel, and perhaps an extension or two) also get installed? If so, try disabling MOM - it's known to cause problems occasionally.

Running Microsoft Office 2001 with Tiger vs Classic

Mac experts,
Okay, I have a couple of questions. First, I recently installed Tiger 10.4 on my G3 laptop. Runs great eventhough I know I'm pushing the envelope with only 128 MB of memory and at 400 MHz speed. Anyhow, since I also run several programs that required the Classic environment, I went ahead and installed 9.2.2 as well. Both systems seem to work well with each other. I then decided to update to Microsoft Office 2001 which went smoothly as well. The problem (and maybe it's not a problem) is only Classic will run Office eventhough Tiger will run Office for me on my iMac (G4). Is there a way to tell my little ole G3 laptop to run Office from Tiger instead of Classic. I have encounter some freez-ups when working in Office (just Word so far). I would be working and periodically hit save to save the work and several times, when save was hit the machinge would freeze up and require me to do a force quit. Anyhow, any help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.
Second question. I take a lot of pictures and use iLife to make slide shows and movies. My iMAc has only a 20 GB harddrive so as you can imagine it fills up rather quickly. I purchased a 300 GB external harddrive to store all of my "productions" but was wondering if there is a way to automatically save photos in iphoto and music in itunes directly to the external harddrive instead of periodically making the transfer manually?
Thanks guys for all your help!
Mark

You need Office X or Office 2004 to run it natively in Mac OS X.
As for iTunes/iPhoto you can set where documents are stored in the preferences section of each application.

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.

Installing New Microsoft Office Over Old?

I bought Microsoft Office 2008 which I want to install on my external HD which is running Tiger. But on my old internal HD I was running Office 2001. I thought I'd have to re-install that Office onto my new HD but that didn't seem to work. When I open the alias of my old HD and try to open Word documents I get the warning that Microsoft can't open shared libraries and to either open virtual memory or re-install. What's weird is when I first opened a doc just now, it did open into Text Edit, although it had a W at the top like it was Word. But when I tried a second doc, then I got the warning again. Maybe because the 2001 Office is old is why it's not working properly? Or, if I install the new Office onto Tiger, will it over-ride the older one? Do I need to un-install the old Office? I don't want to do anything without asking, first. Thanks for any reply.

When you use Classic, Tiger starts up a pretend version of OS9 using the version of OS9 you have told it to use as Classic.
I have on my computer this set up:
Hard drive 1: OS9
Hard drive 2: Tiger, OS9
When I want to boot to OS9 I select the version of OS9 on drive 1. It has a lot of extras in it that won't help when using OS9 as Classic.
When I want to run an OS9 generation program inside Classic when booted from Tiger I have it set so Tiger uses the copy of OS9 on drive 2. This copy does not have plug-ins in it required by certain programs I use only when actually fully booted to OS9. Those programs would protest if I tried to use them from inside Classic because they could not find those components.
I don't know if you have a similar setup. If you did, it would explain why Office 2001 does not work in Tiger's Classic but does when booted to OS9 which is actually a different copy of OS9.
Since I also have the older Word documents on CDs, will they open into the newer Word after it's been installed and I insert the CDs? Or would I be able to just drag them from the OS 9 folder and onto the desktop and then into the new (Tiger) folder?
They should just work with the new version of Word wherever they are located. You don't need to move them. The only problem with having them on CDs is you won't be able to save changes.

Word (Office 2001) gives Type 2 error at start-up - help needed

Good day - I'm puzzled by a problem I'm unable to resolve. First, Word (part of the Office 2001 suite) suddenly lost it's pull-down menus, including the About tab, and then, upon relaunch, gave me a Type 2 error and refused to start. It first shows the Start-up 'Gallery' scene, and when you try to open an existing document or a new Word document, it then briefly shows the Word template and then crashes with a Type 2 error (I've run this program for years without any major issues). When I couldn't get this resolved after re-starting with a desktop rebuild, I checked the other applications - Entourage, PowerPoint, and Excel, and they all work fine. I trashed the Microsoft prefs - still no change. I removed the fonts - no change. I reloaded the MS Word portion of the Suite - no change. I zapped the PRAM, tested all the system extensions, even replaced the Internet Prefs - no joy. I even went so far as to do a Clean Install of new System software from my software install disk. Other than this, I haven't loaded any new software or done anything that I can think would cause this, and the odd thing is that the program installed on the hard disk WILL RUN when I boot from a restore or Norton system CD! Yet, when I reboot into my system on the hard drive, I'm back to the error message. With brand new system software the application will crash as before. Short of completing re-installing the Office 2001 suite (which I don't want to do, as I will likely lose all my email and address book and calendar) or re-initializing the hard drive and completely starting over, losing everything, I'm at a loss. I have run Norton (de-fragged the HD, ran anti-virus, etc.), checked my hardware with the hardware test disk, used Disk First Aid, all to no avail - no problems with memory, hardware or software indicated. The only thing I haven't done is update drivers, primarily because I have a newer (3.2.8) disk driver on the system than the Driver Utility has, and I don't want to replace it with 3.2.7. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this, or have any ideas before I'm forced to take this to a Mac repair facility? Thanks in advance...

Greetings to all - Thank you for your replies and help. I did this in reverse order to the posts. Trashing the ASLM, Finder, Mac OS and System Prefs provided the same result - Type 2 error at Word start-up. I had tested extensions using the extensions manager in sets of 5 with no change previously; I restarted with all extensions off (shift key at start-up) and got the same Type 2 error when launching MS Word.
Further info: I've tried this with VM at 1M + installed memory and with VW at double installed memory and it made no difference (I've always used VM in substantial blocks, even with VPC, which I use daily). I've removed ATM 4.6 as a precaution. I've also tried to remove everything that interfaces with MS Word - PrinToPDF comes to mind, as well as all non-original fonts.
I'm puzzled by one thing, which may be nothing but a curiosity, and it may have to do with the way I'm installing MS Word in an attempt to overcome this issue. As you know, Office 2001 provides you with a number which you need to retain upon installation. My original number, then, becomes superceded with each install; in other words, the last 4 numbers changes, out of the original 54092-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXX number provided. A number shows up on the initial lauch window; the problem I detect is that this number isn't the number given at the last install, but the ORIGINAL number I was given when the program was originally installed. This 'suggests' that perhaps the problem is with MS Word itself, as you'd think the program at lauch would recognize the new ID number given when the program files are re-installed using custom install. As an aside, I originally tried to do a 'drag and drop install of the Office 2001 folder, as suggested on the install disk; the system read the item numbers and gave me a 'preparing to copy' message and a spinning beach ball for 20 minutes before I was more or less forced to restart the computer with the reset button. I'm unsure this makes any difference, given that the program will launch with a boot disk, and all of the other modules will launch as they always have.
I'm appreciative of your help and comments. I didn't realize that this forum existed before, having been using a local MUG forum exclusively, and I suspect I'll use it a lot in the coming months as I coax an aging machine to continue working. This may be the first time in 20 years of Mac ownership that a technician might be called for, but I'm hoping for an easier solution.

Microsoft Office X- won't launch anymore

Hi:
I have Microsoft Office X- All of a sudden my Microsoft Office Apps won't launch anymore. They report an error yet if I open a document it will launch Microsoft Word or PowerPoint just fine.
I have tried to replace the Microsoft Office X from a Super Duper back up but it also is still failing to launch.
I am guessing "launch services" is goofed up. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Reid

I don't think it is an Intel based problem. I have a G5 iMac and a legal old MS office v.X upgrade on top of office 2001 version. Worked fine until a few weeks ago except for a few years needing to keep current with the latest XML free MS converter. Repaired disk/permissions. Dug out all of the app/preferences from my user/library. Reinstalled and it checked with MS mothership. However, still crashes on launch. I think perhaps the most recent OSX security update?

Is MS Office 2001 compatable with intel Macs?

I know Office 2004 works via Rosetta but will the older version work?

I’m going to have to disagree with Peter. I believe Office v.X was the first version to run natively in OSX (I’m using it and it runs very well.)
Office 2001 ran in classic and therefore is not compatible with intel machines- Not 100% sure but if I understand this correctly.... <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272642>

Installing Office 2001, Palm Desktop

I just received my MacBook Pro and I'm trying to install Office 2001. After it was installed I could not open it because "Microsoft Word is not supported on ths system." Is it possible to use this version of Office, and if so, how? I also have an old version of Palm Desktop. Thanks.

No. Office 2001 is for OS 9. You need Office 2004 X for OS X. Palm Desktop may run if you get the latest version, but frankly I would avoid it like the plague and use Missing Sync for Palm by Mark/Space Software - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Note that you cannot use any OS 9 software on an Intel Mac. If you have other OS 9 vintage software you will have to upgrade it to a current OS X version or find a substitute that is compatible with OS X.
If you prefer there is a freeware suite that is pretty much fully compatible with Office 2004 X. It's called NeoOffice Aqua 2.2.1 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Office 2001 - 2004

Hi, I am sorry if this is in the wrong place I am not really sure where to put it. I hope someone can help
I know this is a little redundant with 2008 just arriving but I have noticed when opening office 2001 files in office 2004 some of the inserted graphics look much lower resolution in 2004 than they did in 2001. This is consistent between different macs and the mac the original file was created on. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Also quite busy is Office for Mac on Google at

Microsoft Office: Intel version worth the wait?

Sadly my trial has expired for Microsoft Office. It is time to get the actualy version. What I am wondering is if I should go ahead and buy the current version and let Rosetta do it's thing, or if the universal version will be considerably better and worth the wait?
What is everyone's plans here?

Can you afford to wait at least until the end of the year? It seems to me that is the sole criterion. Usually, M$ offers pretty decent upgrade prices, if cost is a concern when Office 2007 or 08 ships. If I were in your position I'd just buy Office 2004 and plan on upgrading when the UB version comes out.
Other options include:
iWorks
Student/Teacher ed of Word (Not upgradable though)
Finding a cheap (but legal) copy of Office X on eBay
Trying your luck with Open Office ( http://www.openoffice.org/index.html )
Personally, I'm still using Office X. I never upgraded to Office 2004 because it just didn't offer me anything I needed and I was worn out after paying for Office 2001 and then Office X within a year's time.

Is microsoft office 2000 compatible with leopard?

I recent had my hard drive fail and apple had to replace it. I am reloading software on my computer, I have MS office 2000 and the MS office 2004 as an upgrade. In order for the MS 2004 to work I need to put MS 2000 on my computer, but my computer won't let me install MS 2000. It says something about not being able to run in classics. Am I forced to buy the new MS 2008 because I have leopard on my machine now?

You don't need to install Office 2001. Simply have the CD handy and point the office 2004 installer to the Office folder on that CD when prompted.
Also, since Office is not an Apple product, please post further questions regarding it on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they are more geared toward Office issues than an Apple forum:

Microsoft Office Document Imaging on OS X?

I have been using Windows / Office for some time now and have quite a large collection of digital documents I created using "Microsoft Office Document Imaging".
Is this tool part of Office 2008 for the Mac?
or
Is there a similar tool I can use to manage & modify my existing collection of tiff digital documents?
Thanks!
PS: My scanner is a Canon LiDE 25 and after a couple of kicks at the can appears to be working quite nicely with image capture.

Most of my documents are currently in jpeg or pdf. A friend recommended putting them in tiff using Microsoft Office Document Imaging. I have a 2001 version of Office on my Macbook which doesn't include MODI but this discussion seems to indicate that Adobe Acrobat works the same way (which I do have). I'm a genealogist so I have scanned or photographed images of historical documents, wills, deeds, etc. as well as photographs and would like to know the best way to format them without taking up huge amounts of space on my computer. I don't want to just put them on disks or flash drives because I want the images linked to the source list in my genealogy software (Reunion).

I had Microsoft Office installed in my Macbook Air by one of the technicians in the store, it was working fine the first week but after that it started popping a notice saying it cannot verify my suscription online and now I cannot open any documents?

I just bought a Macbook Air almost a month now. When I bought it, the technician installed Microsoft Office 365 as they were having a promotion at the time. However after a week of using it, it started popping up a notice saying that it cannot verify Microsoft Office. I still managed to open the word document but as of today, it will not open. I took it to the Mac store last week, and they said that there was nothing wrong with it and they could not figure out any problem.
I don't know what to do and I am in desperate need of help. I cannot open my documents at all and I have my research paper that I need to finish writing. This is very disappointing and extremely stressful for me. If anyone has any suggestions of how this can be fixed, please let me know. I do not want to lose my hard work =(

Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription - based service. You have to pay for it... and keep paying for it... and paying for it... as in 365 days a year... or lose your hard work.
Office Home Premium is a mere $10 a month, but a convenient annual subscription is only $100 a year. This is a substantial discount to Microsoft's Office 365 business products ($150 / employee / year).
Such a deal! Are you not absolutely thrilled?
Here are some slightly more reasonable alternatives, all of which are compatible with their Office equivalents:
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (completely free)
Numbers ($19.99)
Pages ($19.99)

How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
Jurjen

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues. We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
throw the following error:
'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application. Microsoft Office will now exit.'
We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly. In Event Viewer, we see the following:
'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Event 7000'
This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates. It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
different workstations. Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing? Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
Thanks for any info.
