MS Office 2004 for Mac : updates not installing
I've just realised that the last three Office updates I downloaded were all the same (11.3.3). Immediately after the last download, I checked to see if any more were available, and there was 11.3.3 still waiting.
On reflection, I don't think that this is a new problem. Recent updates I've downloaded have been about 57 MB and have contained all previous updates.
Can anyone help, please?

Hi Pica!
It's worth remembering that not all updates change the version number of the applications. Microsoft's way of making it really easy to remember what updates you have installed!
The 11.3.2 update just before Christmas was a mistake on their part, as you may remember. The latest one is 11.3.3, which did change the version numbers of all the Office applications to 11.3.3 - except for Powerpoint, which stayed at 11.3.2. But as the 11.3.3 updater was a Combo updater, and if your Word has version number 11.3.3, you have got it all.
If you downloaded the updater seperately, rather than using the auto update function, that could be the reason why it still shows up as 'available'.
There is no harm in running it again just to make sure.

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.

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.

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 -

Paulhow 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.

... 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! -
Should I uninstall Office 2004 for Mac after installing Office 2011 on new iMac ?
Replacing an aging G5 with a refurb 2011 iMac. The G5 has Office 2004 on it. When I migrate to the new iMac, do I need to move the Office 2004 to the new machine to not lose any documents ? And then unistall it on the new machine once I have Office 2011 on board ? Do I bother uninstalling it ?
Haven't had to migrate to a new computer in a while, so any suggestions are appreciated. I also have TM and a clone of the G5.
Thanks.This is exactly what I did. After downloading Office 2011 and opening some of my old Office 2004 files to make sure they were ok, I trashed the Office 2004. Everytime I opened an old file it asked if I wanted to save it the the new Office. I did. It's been three years now and all my old files work perfectly.
Good luck with yours,

I have MS office 2004 installed for several years. Just recently Powerpoint has been a problem. I can view about 6 files and then no more. I then thrash the plist and restart and everything is OK for a short time and then nothing again.
Anyone got any ideas what else I can do?
thanks and regards....Have you tried rebuilding the database?Take a look at this [Microsoft|http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx?product=PowerPoint&app=3] help page for PP, there may be something there to help you. I would suggest rebuilding your database, but am not sure if you can do that for PP alone.

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.

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
