  • Hello. I have two version of Office for Mac. 2008 and 2001. I want to delete the 2008 version. If I use the removal tool within the Offie 2008 folder, is there any danger of the 2001 version being removed too.  Thanks Dave UK

    Do you mean Office 2008 and 2011 or do you really want Office 2001? I think you mean 2011 since Office 2001 wouldn't make much sense.
    The Office uninstaller should be able to identify there are two versions and allow you to delete either one or both.

  • I have InDesign 3 Version 5.0 for Mac. I have a client with a PC who has either InDesign 6 or CC for PC. If I sell him usage rights to my files, will he be able to use them?

    I have InDesign 3 Version 5.0 for Mac. I have a client with a PC who has either InDesign 6 or CC for PC. If I sell him usage rights to my files, will he be able to use them?

    ...but from what I have read general practice is to charge extra for native files as you are giving over usage rights of the artwork.
    Not a lawyer, just been around the block before. It all sort of depends on the client and understandings on both your parts, whether in writing or not. What is their expectation while they were paying you? What was your expectation during the same period? In lieu of an agreement, I think the courts would side on the client's rights.
    But regardless, I generally do what Peter wrote unless there is an agreement in writing stating otherwise. One of the reasons why I happily turn over client work is because sometimes the new-hire or new contractor simply doesn't work out and I am often called back into the mix. It's goodwill.

  • What version of office for mac is mininally needed to be installed on 10.9? I just tried my own 2004, which as too old, am hoping 2008 or 2011 since I don't want to buy a new one...

    Hi,
    I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
    On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
    Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
    or do I need 2011 at least?
    Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
    I'd like to know before buying anything......
    Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
    as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
    I hope someone can give me some advice!
    thanks,

    Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
    Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
    You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
    It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice.

  • Scroll function in MS Word, version 2011 Office for Mac

    Updated to OS X Yosemite, and the ability to scroll line by line thru the document is no longer working.  I can move thru the document using the sliding bar on the side, but difficult to get to when more than one file is open.  Have tried closing program, shutting down and reboot, searched help, checked many different documents, also created new document - cannot find a way to turn this option back on. Is there one?

    thank you all for your replies.  this sounds like the community threads i saw about Outlook and Maverick earlier this year and last year.  Some folks loved it---no problems--while others hate the upgrade with Outlook because it's major time killing problem city.  I'm guessing there are variables at play here---like what your hardware is (macbook, imac, macair) and the year of your hardware.  And knowing MSFT, i'm guessing that there are variables there too (DVD, online office 365 subscription, and which year the software for either was created.  i have been down this road before with Apple and MSFT---two different tribes that do their best not to get along as much as they should. 
    we really need forensics on everyone's hardware, software, year of each, and source of software (DVD or online) before we could spot a pattern as to what works and what is going to be a problem.  It would have to be this community that solves it because i know from experience MSFT won't be much help…..and even Apple's support folks do not like trying to solve problems involving MSFT software. 
    so net net---please post another round letting us know your hardware and year, and your Office for Mac 2011 software version and year. also, if you do solve a problem, please let us know too.  thanks everyone

  • I was having problems with a 7-month old version of office for mac 2011, so I completely removed it from my computer. How do I reinstall it?

    Office for Mac 2011 worked fine until yesterday, then I started having problems. I know I completely deleted the trial version, so please do not suggest that as the cause. I also know that I bought a legitimate full version online from the Microsoft store 7 months ago, and I still have the product key. But since I don't have any trace of Office on my Mac anymore, how do I reinstall it? I tried looking on the Microsoft website, but it wasn't helpful. The only other thing I can do is contact Microsoft customer support, which will probably take forever. So, to respond to this post, please: do not mention trial versions for Office, do not mention Microsoft website. I tried posting another question on this topic, but the people who replied did not seem to understand that their suggestions were not relevant.

    I see you had another post for this same issue where you clearly explained your problem.  There were important details in your other thread that would have helped us in assisting you.  You started this new thread, understandably frustrated.  None of us are mind readers.  You started right off telling us not to mention the only two things that would resolve the problem you had mentioned here which was simply that you had uninstalled office and you were trying to reinstall it.  Reading your other thread, it's clear why you made that comment.  It's generally not a good idea to open multiple threads for the same issue as anyone reading this thread would have no idea what steps you have already taken and what suggestions have already been made.

  • How to help my friend install Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

    Hello, I have a friend in North Carolina whose mom recently got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountian Lion (10.8), he will be coming on to join this discussion after I post it. He needs Microsoft Office for his mom and I just happened to have purchase 3 licenses (two of which I have already utilized). While talking to him over a Facetime call, I walked him through the steps of getting the free office for mac 2008 package from download.com (which seemed kind of sketchy). While the download actually looked legitimate, we ran the installer and it gave some kind of weird error message that said something like "Could not be installed onto Macintosh HD because the Mac OS X is not on that parition" (I'm paraphrasing my friend will contribute the actual message). Could someone please walk us through an easier (and preferably more secure) process? We just need to get to the point where I can give him my last license key. Thanks!
    YraYra

    You will have to check with Microsoft but I think what you are doing is illegal. The 3 license pack I think means 1 user 3 computers, not 2 users 3 computers.
    You might have better luck posting on the Office for Mac forum. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • Which version of office for mac should I use?

    I need office for my mac unfortunately.  There are multiple options like buying the s/w for download, getting it from microsoft in the cloud home or small business.  Anyone know what the best options are for speed and efficiency?  In the past I bought the s/w and had multiple issues with it.

    The different options are shown here:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store?SiteID=msusa&Locale=en_US&Action=DisplayProd uctSearchResultsPage&result=&keywords=office+compare
    Basically, the broad choice categories are:
    *  Office for Mac 2011 (Home, Student, Professional ... your choice): Works on one computer.  You own the software.
    *  Office 365:  Can follow you around ... subscription based.

  • Help with trial version of PSE for Mac?

    I searched for this and couldn't find it, so I apologize if it's already been answered.
    I downloaded the Trial version of PSE8 for Mac (Leopard is my operating system) and nothing happens and it's not in my Applications folder. Anyone know how to crank this baby up?

    Yes to Intel.
    Found the disk image under the Download folder. Tried double clicking 
    on the download in the folder, but that didn't work.
    thanks for your help!

  • Can you help me fix my Microsoft office for mac?

    This is the error I get.

    Sorry you got the error. What can we do if you don't tell us something more useful. What version of OS X are you using? What version of Office are you trying to use? Did Office work in the past but isn't working now or is this a new installeation? Do you get the samething trying to use other Office applications?
    Is there a reason you've posted this in the Servers and Enterprise Software WebObjects forum? Is this happening on an OS X Server system?

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

  • Need to dowload correct version of Firefox for Mac OS X 10.3.9

    I have an old Mac which I will be retiring soon...as soon as I can get my information off it. To do so, I need to be able to use Firefox to upload it to a cloud storage system. But... I need the correct version of Firefox which will work with my old system. Any ideas? I certainly appreciate it.

    The last version of Firefox to work on OS X 10.3.9 was Firefox 2.0.0.20, you can get it from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    That link is for the English-US version.

  • 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!

  • Making a Bell Curve in Numbers or MS Office for MAC: I already have mean and standard deviation

    I hope my question is a simple one with a simple answer: I have the results of a mid-term and the professor gave us the mean and standard deviation of the results of the exam from which he based our grades. I am a visual person and (to be honest) without having to put forth a lot of effort, I would like to see visually where I fall on this, admittedly, artificial curve. I have both Numbers and MS Office on my MacBook Pro. Is there an easy way to create a bell curve using these numbers? It seems like there should be since those are usually the only numbers needed. I just, honestly, don't want to do the tedious work myself.

    Statistical functions including several which deal with normal distribution, are discussed in Chapter 10, Statistical Functions, of the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. This useful guide may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers '09. Go to chapter 10, or for a direct route, search 'normal distribution'
    For what it's worth, you can find the formula  for calculating the coordinates for the bell curve here: The-Normal-Distribution-Or-Bell-Curve
