Office 08 issue...

My iMac hard drive crashed just got it back from repair facility who replaced the hard drive and reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.7 so I went to Migration Assistant and migrated my info from my MacBook Pro to the iMac now only problem is Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac has the same key on both computers and problem with that is if my wife is on laptop and word open (some ebooks she reads are word documents) and I try to open Word or any Office Application on the iMac it wont let me says taht key is already in use... I have 2 Office 2008 Product Keys so anyway to release the one currently on the iMac so I can enter the correct one?
I've tried uninstalling/deleting Office 2008 on the iMac hoping that when I re-installed it would prompt me to enter my Product Key again.. but nope it didn't so was still saved somewhere...

From a search in the Office Help system:
If your copy of Office 2008 was installed with an invalid product key, or if you mistakenly used the same product key to install Office 2008 on more than one computer, you must remove the invalid product key and enter a valid product key to use Office 2008.
1. In the Finder, select /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist, and then on the File menu, click Move to Trash.
2. Select /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 settings.plist, and then on the File menu, click Move to Trash.
3. On the Apple menu, click Restart.
4. After your computer restarts, open any Office 2008 application. The Office Setup Assistant opens.
5.Accept the software license agreement, and then enter your valid product key.
 The product key is located on the back of the Office 2008 for Mac DVD sleeve or on the back of the Install Guide.

MS OFFICE issue on network share

Okay, so I have a public share replicated with DFS between 2 MS servers(1 2008r2 and the other 2012). On server A, I can open Office documents logged in as any user. On server B, I can only open the documents with users that have FULL CONTROL access to
the share. I can open text documents with any user on either server A or server B, but can't open Office documents on server B with a domain user that has less than FULL CONTROL rights. HELP!

Hi,
Firstly, please check the two shared folder’s share permission between the two DFS server to see if they are the same.
In the meantime, the issue is may be caused by restricted permission in Office documents, please refer to the articles below to see if it helps:

Microsoft Office Issues! :/ Help!!

I recently installed Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac on my Macbook Pro, and I'm having ISSUES!!! :/
1st Problem: With Microsoft Office installed, my dock is cluttered, so I want to remove the Microsoft icons from the dock and put them on the desktop. However, when I try this, none of the Microsoft Office programs will open! Instead, I get an error notification giving me the option to "relaunch" the application. Relaunching doesn't work, though. The same error notice keeps popping up, and the program never opens even when I click "reset and relaunch". The only way to get Microsoft Office to work again was to reinstall Microsoft Office. Why does this happen?! Must the icons stay on the dock?! Is there a way around this??
2nd Problem: I want to save my word documents as .doc files not .docx, and I want to save my Powerpoint files as .ppt not .ppx. However, when I try to save my documents/powerpoints as .doc/.ppt, the Microsoft program quits unexpectedly. Why can't I save my files in the old Microsoft format??!!
Thanks for the help.

1. Do not clutter your desktop with icons. It will eventually cause slow start ups. You can make the dock smaller to accommodate the icons if you wish or not have them there or not have all of them there at all. When you drag an icon out of the dock it goes "puff" and disappears.
2. Make sure you have the latest updates of Office.
3. If all else fails post in the http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/

Quick Office Issue

Can I add my work email address to the list of servers in Quick Office Pro HD. I can't seem to find any info regarding this question. Please help if anyone has knowledge of this. Thanks!

Hi tacie,
This is a forum for discussion of issues and techniques with Apple's now discontinued productivity application, AppleWorks, an application written for Mac OS 9 then ported to OS X, and with a version for Windows. It's unlikely you'll find an expert on Microsoft Quick Office for iPad here. The best place to look would be Microsoft's site. Failiing that, you might try one of the iPad or iOS communities here.

N8 - Quick Office issue

Hi all,
Not sure if any one has experienced same weird issue as me but... the thing is:
Set theme to anyother than Black... open Quick Office (or Acrobat Reader)... and start exploring phone content (either phone memory or Mass Memory).
Result is a complete mess. Can't see nor read anything... lot of symbols appear ont he screen.
I've reset phone and reinstall quick Office viewer... but no improvement.
Went to shop again... and test the sample phone they had there... it had no issue... so I returned my phone and got money back.
I'm considering wether to buy it again or not...
Has anyone experienced same issue?
Thanks in advance!

if you have install the firmware second time and dont open it may be because it remebers the last settings
which it may something happening in the register keys??that is because maybe you have done before an other instalation with it
did you paid and downloaded from ovi before?
i am not that expert but if i was you i will try the follow
1) if you have paid before from ovi...send them email with your purcase number but they are very slow in reply may take days, cos it happened to me in the past
2) if you have never paid for quick office from ovi before
go from your mobile web to quick office web site (use the search of your phone web) and somewhere they have a free download for limited time trial and download it from there
3) you can do hard reset First (so any previous bugs should remove and register keys return to their original) and then do the 13.012 update PR 1.1again via ovi suite at your pc
BUT...
you will loose any saved files and programs if you have paid, photos videos, text etc
and also other programs may give you trouble like download again ovi maps or ovi store
if you try hard reset send the pics, files, document, videos to pc (will take you some time)
and later sloly slowly when you have time send back from pc to phone

Microsoft Office Issue

I installed Lion on my computer and now microsoft Office is working properly. I have Microsoft office 2011. I can not send mail in Outlook. I keep getting an error.

Review this thread; https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4136482?start=0&tstart=0
"I had similar problems and what I did was go into Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Exchange > Edit SMTP Server list and then deleted the server I previously was using for my Exchange account (and any other legacy servers you may have in there). Then I re-added the server and made sure my Exchange account reflected the just added server."

Font Book - Office Issue

In the process of designing a bookcover I downloaded and installed several fonts via Font Book; however, these fonts are not 'recognized' by any MS Office app (e.g. Word, PowerPoint). What am I missing?
Thanks,

A better font manager probably. Have a read of Kurt Lang's advice in this recent thread;

Exch 2010 Out of Office issue - Outlook Client Only

OOF works in OWA, and it also works in Outlook 2011 on our Apple clients. It does not however, work in Outlook 2007 and 2010.
I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting on this issue already. All IIS permissions are correct, there are no IE proxies interfering, autodiscover is setup correctly and working as intended. (Initially, it was not and I assumed this was the issue. Now it
is and the issue continues. Confirmed both by https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com & Test E-mail AutoConfiguration on our outlook clients)
I'm not sure what else I can do and I'm having trouble finding anymore information on this subject past those issues listed above. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

This issue was resolved, forgot all about this thread but figured I'd update it for others if they have the same issue.
The mailbox databases were not pointed to OfflineAddressBook.
We had to set all the mailbox databases to an Offline address book using following steps. After you run the below changes please run IISRESET command on the CAS server.
To associate the Offline Address Book with a particular mailbox store in Exchange 2007 or in Exchange Server 2010
      Start the Exchange Management Console.
      Expand Server Configuration(For me it was under Organization Configuration),
and then click Mailbox.
      In the details pane, click the Database Management tab.
      Under the appropriate storage group (for example,First Storage Group),
right-click Mailbox Database, and then click Properties.
      Click the Client Settings tab, and then clickBrowse next
to Offline address book.
      Click the appropriate offline address book, and then click OK two
times.
Offline address book is not associated with a particular mailbox store
Hope this helps!

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 RU3 - OWA - Out of Office issue

Hi,
We have just upgraded out test lab to Exchange 2010 SP3 RU3.
We have 2 CAS-servers and 2 Mailbox-servers. All servers er fully patched.
Question - reason for upgrading is that our Production environment is running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU7, and we have issues with IE 11(light mode only) which is resolved in SP3 RU3. But we have discovered a another issue after upgrading.
After upgrading Exchange, IE 11 is fixed at the login screen, and we can now choose which login methode we want to use, so this is good.
But if you login with IE 11 chosse Options > See all Options > Organize E-mails > Automatic Replies - then the page is blank.
If you choose to use Firefox or Chrome everything is working correctly..
Does any else have the same problem?

Hi,
Yes, running in IE’s compatibility mode is a temporarily workaround. Let’s wait for the update.
Thanks,

Mac: office issues

I had to reformat my ibookG4, and when we did, somehow my friends product key got entered, rather than mine. Now, I am having problems opening and using programs like Entourage. I get a message that says that an office program is being run on my firend's computer. I know now that it's because we have the same product id; my question is, can I change the product key, without having to uninstall and reinstall mac office?
any help/expertise/answers would really help

Open office issues

Im getting the following message:
The last time you opened OpenOffice it unexpectadley quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again?
Then it gives an option to check a "dont open" or an "Reopen" box but neither works. It just freezes. Cant acces Open office ODT files.

You need to reinstall Open Office. Download the installer from the Open Office website and simply set it up again.
I hope this solves your question. I have had problems with Open Office like this in the past. It can sometimes be a tricky software.

Microsoft office issues with clients bound to my Open Directory Master

So i converted all of my clients from having a local account on there machine to being bound to my Open Directory Master with a home folder on the server. I deleted there local account on there client machine and then bound it and logged in with there server account. launch microsoft entourage,excel and word and i get weird errors when the applications launch. So i reinstalled on the local admin account of the client machine and all applications now work except for microsoft entourage.
I can set up an account... see my exchange email server but no email. nothing.. if i log the client machine out of the OD master account and log into a local account on the machine everything works fine. Am i missing something? i even set up for the user account in the allowed applications to run the microsoft office suite with no change.
thanks,
Jess

Note Microsoft Office does not support server-based home directories. You can use portable home directories which syncs stuff down to the client (like a roaming profile but "better" )
As far as errors with application launch, etc., check the permissions on the applications themselves. Office has an annoying habit of installing itself as the user who installs it (well, except Office 2008 which installs itself as user 502, always, lol). Ensure the permissions on the applications make sense -- this will take some command line use of chmod and chown.
Also ensure that your home directory permissions are mapped to the user you're logged in as. If you move from local accounts to server-based accounts the UID on the home directory will not automatically change properly, and Microsoft stores its stuff in ~/Documents/Microsoft Office Documents which will have the owner/permissions of who initially created that directory.

Office 2013 patches not installing

I am trying to install some updates for office 2013 through Windows update and I keep on getting the error message 80070663 when installing these (8 so far). Other windows patches
install fine. I am running Windows 7 Pro in a Domain environment and am a domain admin running these with full admin privileges.
I have tried just about every fix suggested in every other post
- Rebuilding the Windows Update environment
- Running Sfc (no errors)
- Running the relevant Fixit's (no issues or repairs found)
- Running Chkdsk Scan (no errors)
- Downloading the patches and trying to run them manually (They error out with a applicability test error)
- Running Antimalware and similar scans (nothing)
- Running a repair on Office 2013 (errors out with a 5 error towards the end of the repair - faulting module msvcrt.dll fault offset 35e1
- Downloading and reinstalling the C++ library re-distributables (i.e. msvcrt.dll)
Not this is only on the Office patches and not any other patches which suggests an office problem rather than a Windows update issue.
Anyone got any thoughts - There was a suggestion that this might be caused by missing update packages...

Hi,
Apologize for the late reply.
Regarding Office issue, have you tried Repair Office programs from control panel?
Follow this guide:
Repair Office programs
Change recommended update and diagnostic settings
Further, since this is more related with Office, it is recommended to ask inthe office forum for a better assistance:

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688074

Issues with the Custom Filter in Datasheet View

I'm seeing some odd, yet intermittent, behavior while trying to filter columns in datasheet view using a custom filter. After clicking to apply a filter to a column and choosing 'Custom Filter...' a pop-up with regular expressions should appear much like
the following screenshot:
However sometimes, usually on a page refresh, this pops up instead:
I have been able to replicate this sporadically in both IE 8 and 9 against different columns but it's really inconsistent. I can't seem to find any configuration issues or commonality across the clients that might be responsible. Local installations of Office
are 32bit. I know 64bit has been known to cause some issues. I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue at all or perhaps it has been addressed in a more recent CU than what I am running (14.0.6117.5002). Any insight would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance.

Hello all
We get this as well on one computer in the office. It seems to be more of an MS Office issue than a Sharepoint issue specifically the "Microsoft Office List 14.0" ActiveX add in.
On one computer that has Office 2010, when "Edit in Datasheet" is clicked within a Sharepoint list the MS office list 14 ActiveX is called and the custom filter options appear with the missing combo boxes like in the picture at the top. I've found this is
reproducible by simply doing:
1. Visit a Sharepoint list
2. Actions > Edit in Datasheet
(If you click one of the drop downs at this point and choose Custom filter it will open as expected)
3. Actions > Show in standard view
4. Actions > Edit in Datasheet
5. Click one of the drop downs, choose Custom filter and the problem will occur
The only way to make the option reappear is to close down IE and reopen it. You'll then get one more go with point 1 and 2 above before the problem will reoccur again after changing the view using Actions.
Anyone using Office 2007 doesn't seem to have this problem however this uses a different version of the control namely "Microsoft Office List 12.0"
Uninstalling Office 2010 and reinstalling it seems to fix it for a bit but the problem will soon come back. Strangely it won't come back straight away but when it does its easy to reproduce following the above steps.
Testing this on another computer that just happens to have Office 2010 and Sharepoint Designer 2007 installed the problem does not occur however when the ActiveX is called for the Sharepoint list it just happens to invoke the Office List 12 version despite
the fact both versions are available on the machine.
This probably happens because Sharepoint Designer was installed after Office 2010 was installed on the machine so has updated the registry to call the older version which seems to be problem free.
ActiveX files
Microsoft Office List 12.0 = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\STSLIST.DLL
Microsoft Office List 14.0 = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\STSLIST.DLL
Version 14.0.6015.1000 - came with Office 2010 with SP1
I've tried patching version 14.0 STSLIST.dll to:
14.0.6130.5000 (KB2589349)
14.0.6137.5000
(KB2760804) - 9th April 2013 and is the newest I could find at the time.
Edit as I'm typing this: Just found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817403 which is dated 11th June 2013 but doesn't mention any fix for this problem.
I've tried installing the Sharepoint services support components using the Sharepoint Designer installer package as below:
This includes the STSLIST.dll version 12.0 and updates the registry accordingly so that this component is referenced and does seem to fix the problem.
Unfortunately for me, when I checked back later the browser had reverted back to using the 14.0 component for reason I can't explain. Perhaps a Windows update came through and "adjusted" the registry settings to use the newer version. Unfortunately any attempt
at deleting the 14.0 file simply recreates it when "Edit in Datasheet" is choosen.
It would be great to get a proper fix for this instead of having to try and force the computer to use the older component!
