Microsoft office 2004 for mac installation problem

Hi there,
I initially download the microsoft office 2004 trial. I bought the student & teacher edition and install it in my macbook. There was a uninstall button on the trial software that I press and I don't know if that removed the trial version. The problem is "this product is license to office 2004 test drive user, my name and product ID number" are all showing initially when you press any of the office 2004 icon. Having the test drive user showing up makes me wonder if the trial version was totally deleted. If the trial version was not deleted, will it slow down the program and how can I remove it without re-installing the full version that I bought.
Any help is appreciated
thanks so much

The uninstaller is located in the MS Office folder in the Additional Tools folder. There's also one on the Office 2004 X Installer CD.

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - missing options

Hello!
I've got some trouble with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:
I realized that there are some options missing in the menu bars, such as "Insert > Cross-reference", etc.
Today I reinstalled the whole thing including all updates (11.3.7). No success.
However I noticed that on my admin account the options are existent but still not on my "everyday account".
Therefore my question:
How can I remove user specific preferences for Office? I guess this might solve my problem.
Thanks to anyone who has some hints for me!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

Microsoft office 2004 for mac does not work now how do i get it to work!!

how do i get microsoft office for mac 2004 to work now i have downloaded Lion

Office 2008 is the oldest version that runs under lion. Office 2004 requires rosetta, which was discontinued as of 10.7. you'll have to upgrade to office 2008 or newer if you're using lion!

Replaced an older IMac that had OS snow leopard and could run microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. I'm told that this version of Office for Mac will not run on OS mountain lion. Is this true? or is there a workaround?

Just received a new Imac running OS10.8 Mountain Lion. I have MS Office 2004 that ran ok on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm told that this software will not work on the new OS. Are there any work arounds?

... and have only used Word and hate to try to learn something new if not necessary.
The dirty little secret that they are keeping from you, is YES, there is a way to continue to use Microsoft Office's Word 2004 in Mountain Lion!
It is to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on your new Mac and then install and run Word 2004 there:
[click on images to enlarge]
Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). Parallels 8 retails for $79 but can be found for less searching for discounts on the internet.
Personally I hate the way Microsoft has changed Word 2008 and Word 2011, because I was 100% comfortable with how Word 2004 was setup and utilized. There is a learning curve to both of these upgrades and a more steeper one to the "free" alternatives that were suggested to you.
In a perfect world, you should upgrade to Office 2011; I did (actually it was a gift, but the price was not an object for me anyway). But the world is not perfect...
So, if, like me, there are times that you are most comfortable operating in the Word 2004 environment, my suggestion offers you a easy, stable, relatively inexpensive means to continue to do so in Mountain Lion.
GOOD LUCK!

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac

How in the world can I get clip art I download from the online source to download INTO the Microsoft Office clip art search library!!!!!????
It keeps downloading onto my desktop!!!!
Then what do I do with it! With other Macs I have used it just goes in the clip art library where it is suppose to!!!!!!!!!!

To Apple Discussions!
When you download you should get a window which will state *Save As & Where.*
In the Where section use the down arrow to scroll to Applications>Microsoft Word.
Select the +Clip Art+ folder.
However, if you would rather the download to the desktop then just drag the clip art into the Clip Art folder.

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

Trouble installing Office: 2004 for Mac

Hello. I hope someone can help me. So here's the deal.
I've been using Office X for some time. I bought Office 2004 for Mac (Student Teacher Edition) from a friend who upgraded last May. I got the manual and the Product ID with it. I never got around to Installing it, but my hard drive failed recently and Apple replaced it, obviously without any of my stuff on it.
So I decided if I have to reinstall all my software, I'd go ahead and use the Office 2004 as I don't think the Office X is fully compatible with Tiger (because of it's age and a few issues I've had with it over the past two years). Now, here's the problem. When I tried to install it, the product ID didn't work as the Product/CD Key. I called my friend and she no longer has the box or the Product Key, and of course, the Product key from my Office X doesn't work.
So now I'm stuck. Is anyone familiar with Office 2004 for Mac? Is there any difference between the "retail" version and the Student/teacher version that would prevent the Product Key from one with working with the other? Would anyone be willing to share their Product key with me, to install the software so I can get back to work?
I've already lost 4 days in time (and have to recreate 2 days worth of work that was done after my last file backup) and don't have time to deal with this stuff.
I may be contacted directly at robertben1 at comcast dot net.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help.

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.

how do i uninstall office completely???
Before you do an uninstall you may want to test your preference files for corruption. There are three which can become corrupeted, but probably only the first two will be of issue.
Quit Word and any other Office Applciations.
Browse to your User home account and locate the following files:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Office.prefs.plist
(the third has to do with fonts and I don't think that is at issue)
Drag these to your desktop and relaunch Word. Word will re-create these files.
If all works as it should you can trash these files. You will probably have to reset some preferences and Autocorrect settings. Be careful of what you reset as that may have been the cause of the issue.
If this does not work you may replace the newly created files with the ones you dragged to the desktop, or you may try re-installing Office.
If you want to completely remove Office and attempt a re-install to see if it corrects the problem: The uninstaller is located in HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office.
I understand that you are in a timecrunch with your paper being due. I am sure with enough troubleshooting that you can and will find a solution to the Office problem. If the above steps do not work, however, you may also want to have a look at the free NeoOffice suite to get your paper done in the meantime.

I am not including the link as a means of trying to pawn off the problem as I think any problem is ultimately fixable, but it may give you an option to meeting your deadline.

Office 2004 for mac 10.6.8 quits

I have an imac running 10.6.8. It works fine but anything to do with MS 2004 quits immediately with a long winded report. I have reinstalled OS, I have run Apple updates, I have reinstalled MS Office 2004 (can't run MS Office update as it crashes) I have tried all the fixes mentioned in other threads on this forum and I have run a check for malware, trojans and everything else. Any ideas?

Microsoft Office for Mac Installation 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.

Don't be nervous. It's no big deal. On one machine, run Office and make note of the Product ID in the About <app> dialog.
Now, on the other machine, delete the file at /Application/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist and at /Users/<you>/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office Settings.plist.
The next time you run Office on the other machine, you will be able to re-enter your product key. After entering the serial number, double-check the product key with the one from the first machine. If it is the same go back and enter another serial number.

Office 2004 for Mac update 11.3.0 problems

When I was notified by AutoUpdate that there was a new version of Office for Mac available (I have been using it for nearly three years), I followed instructions and after the download got the message: "The installer could not locate the correct version of the software required to install this update. See the Read Me file included with this installer to determine if your software meets the requirements for this update."
I reinstalled Office 2004 and then attempted to download and install the previous updates 11.2.0 and got the same message. The previous install had accepted 11.2.0, and I am now back at 11.0. Also, when I now activate Word, I get an error message "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library." However, after clicking the OK button on this message, I can proceed and use Word normally. Do I have any real problems here?
Anyone with any ideas?

Back again. The Remove Office tool did its thing. I repaired permissions. Then reinstalled from CD. Then repaired permissions. Opened each element of Office once and closed it. Repaired permissions. Ran Microsoft AutoUpdate. Showed downloading 11.3.0 but would not do anything after download. The same messages as before came up. And I cannot comfortably find that Microsoft stuff in the Library. There is quite a bit of Microsoft file types in the Library and I left them alone.
Then went to Mactopia and downloaded the update. Got a .dmg on my desktop which I double-clicked. However it too provided the same message about installation.
I guess I could phone AppleCare (I have the contract) but I somehow have a feeling that this is not their problem as the program is from Microsoft.
