Office 2004 Wont Reinstall

To tell it from the beginning. I had a bootcamp partition. I erased the partition because I had wanted to increase it in size. So then when i tried to recreate the bootcamp partition i got errors saying I need to reinstall OS X because some files couldnt be found or moved or something. So I did. I reinstalled my Office 2004 (legal copy and all). and everything ran without problems.
then i finally decided to print something and i got the error that many people seem to have gotten. the solution they were given was to deleted this xerox or another plugin. i navigated to that correct folder and i had no such plugin (but i did this after uninstalling office 2004 because i was unaware of it). I know that other programs, like firefox, can print with this printer so its definitely something with word.
so then, after uninstalling it ive tried to reinstall it but the install wizard will not run. the icon will appear along the dock, hop a little bit, and then disappear and nothing will happen. since that wouldnt work, i manually coppied the files to my app folder and upon trying to open any program, had the same problem. the program would appear in the dock, hop for a few seconds then dissappear. i have searched with spoltlight and deleted ever office 2004 file on my computer but still no luck.
as a side night, a few days ago, before i encountered my printer problem (which might just be because i had yet to print anything in office programs) i installed fink and darwin ports. i have no idea how to remove anything that they may have done so they may be the cause.
any thoughts? thanks. i really need this back up and running for school.

Since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on the installation of OS X.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • Upgrading to OS10.9.2 I lost my Office 2004 Student Teacher program.  Can I reinstall Office or does 9.2 upgrade no longer supports 2006 Student Teacher?  Tnx,

    When upgrading from OS 10.8.6 to 10.9.2 I lost my MS Office 2004 Student Teacher editon software. 
    This included Word, Excel, Power Point and Entourage.
    Is this because 9.2 does not support this older Office program?  Do I need to up grade Office or do I just need to reinstall 2004 Office.
    I no longer can enter any of my spreadsheets and its a disaster for me so far. 
    Can anyone ease my mind?  Thanks.  Jack

    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Reinstalling fonts in microsoft office 2004

    Hi there -
    I recently bought an iBook G4, OS X 10.4.3. I installed Microsoft Office 2004 (which I had on my iMac G3, OS X 10.3.9)
    Following the installation, the first time I opened the Office applications, an error message appeared stating that several fonts were corrupt and should be deleted (this had not happened on the iMac.)
    I deleted these fonts in Applications/Office/Fonts.
    Since then have been able to use Office 2004 without issue, albeit it without the said fonts. As the fonts were only deleted from Office fonts, they are available in other Applications such as Mail.
    I would like to reinstall these fonts in Office. Is that possible? If so, how?
    Apologies if there have been similar posts, but my search of topics did not turn up specific enough answers...
    Thanks for your help, caroline

    I've had a similar problem -- dozens of fonts that I had installed in my font library (luckily I had isolated them in their own folders) were recognized as "corrupt" by my Microsoft Office 2004 software. I pulled them from my font library and dragged them onto my desktop, then restarted. That solves the problem for my Office apps, but I need these fonts when I work in my Adobe CS2 files. Right now, to access those fonts, I have to close my Office apps, drag the fonts back into my font library, then restart my computer. To use Office, I have to reverse the procedure. Any suggestions on how to keep the fonts in my main font library, but make them inaccessible to Office?

    Hi,
    Acrobat 7 is not tested with Office 365. However your PDF Printer is working fine then you can print your office files to it.

    Hi Martha - Amazon offers office 2004 on their website.
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-2004-Standard-VERSION/dp/B0001WN0M2
    That will be your best bet if you want to have office 2004 on your computer. Also, there are some different versions want to come to office. The link above gives you the standard version, but there's also the professional version. Now it sounds like that you do not want to upgrade to the latest office because you're most likely comfortable with how 2004 works. So in that case I would not spend the extra money and pay for the professional version unless you really need it. I see on the website there that if you buy a used copy it will only cost you around $10.
    Hope this helps!

  • Reinstalling Office 2004 without discs but with key.

    i've bought Snow Leopard to update my iMac OS from Tiger, but have found that i do not have the original discs of Office 2004 (pre-installed originally). Hence I am concerned that if i install the new OS I'll end up not being able to reinstall Office, despite having the key. Is there a way around this? I've been told to get a demo version, and then use the legal key, but can't find one. All suggestions appreciated!

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Office 2004 crashes in Leopard when using File print option.

    Office 2004 apps all crash when I try to print using File>print but they will print if I just use the printer icon. Any ideas?? I have updated Office to 11.3.9 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. BTW, the printer is an HP Laserjet All-in-one model 3330. Everything else I've tried seems to print ok -- Safari, Adobe, Pages.
    I would like to upgrade three other machines but I'm waiting until I get this print problem resolved.
    Thanks.

    Well I feel sort of stupid, I was using the HP driver. Switching to either of the drivers supplied with Leopard fixed this problem. Thanks.

    I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates.  I am running Mac OS 10.6.8.  I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001".  I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word.  When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else.  I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph.  As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
    Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond.  I have to force quit.  After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
    Any similar problems?

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

  • Cannot open Microsoft Office 2004

    Hi. I have MS Office 2004 installed on my iMac, for using Excel and Word. All of a sudden this morning, I could not print an Excel file, due to some sort of error. Don't know what it was. I then found that I could not open any Office application. I get the message Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office to no avail. I am not too worried about data loss as I did a backup of these files last night. All other programs seem ok, just cannot open any files in Office. Can anyone advise me on my next course of action please?
    None of the obvious remarks about using MS please. :-))
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Don't know about billy but I did everything. Uninstalled all plists, preferences, reinstalled, nothing worked. BTW, Kurt, the uninstaller also performed like the other Office apps...sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
    I also stripped my regular login account of all startup items (at least those that I could do without). Nada.
    But I THINK I've found the problem (at least at my end). I had recently installed Shapeshifter's New UB program. When I uninstalled, all Office apps have been performing normally. So I believe this was causing some kind of a conflict for me.
    Don't know if that's an actual solution, but it does seem to have done the trick for me.

    I should have mentioned earlier, the error only shows up in the console; when I click on an office 2004 application, the icon bounces once and does nothing.
    Thanks for the ideas...Do you think I should reinstall os X. I've only had my computer for 2 wks, so it would be easy to back up my personal stuff and reinstall. I do most of my work on office. I can't do anything without it.

  • Office 2004 Update

    Hi
    Software update has told me that I have updates waiting for Office 2004. I tried to install them however after the software downloads, the system looks for compatible software and then tells me that there is no compatible software that can be found and that I should read the readme file. I have a legally purchased copy of office 04 that's running and i have read the readme file and everything looks legit. Any ideas?
    thanks!!

    I've followed this thread and followed all the advice, but to no avail. I had the same problem. "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.
    Anyone with any ideas?

    Vicky:  The initial question is why do you want to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004?
    If your answer is that you are upgrading to Office 2011, my recollection is that the installation process of Office 2011 will do all of the proper "uninstalling" that is necessary as it installs all of the necessary new files.
    If your answer is that you do not intend to ever use Office again, including any of the data files that were created from it: then at this point, I would suggest that you just leave it alone.  Manually uninstalling raises more risks than it cures.
    Even if you do upgrade to Office 2011, if you have continuous need to have access to your Office 2004 data files, you may find that Office 2011 does not properly translate some of your old files correctly.  I have this problem with an Excel 2004 chart that I access on a weekly basis and it gets trashed by Office 2011. 
    I have solved this problem by installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion (and reinstalling Office 2004 inside the Snow Leopard environment):
                             [click on image to enlarge]
    In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

  • Choppy, stuttering video after Microsoft Office 2004 11.2.5 update

    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Here's a brief story:
    I'm on my second MacBook (first one had a squishy mouse button that was replaced by Genius Bar). When the Apple OSX 10.4.7 update came out, I upgraded. The video performance became awful immediately. Anytime I minimized a program (or clicked on it in the dock to un-minimize it) it would stutter and zoom up very choppy, almost seeming like the video wanted to freeze, but wouldn't quite get there. Sometimes scrolling using Firefox or Safari would get choppy too. Then I found out that the inital OSX 10.4.7 update was missing a few files (Open GL, I think). I reinstalled that update off of the Apple website and all was dandy.
    Then, the other day, my Microsoft AutoUpdate ran and told me to update to Office 2004 11.2.5. I did. Immediately, video performance went into the tank again, just like when I first upgraded to the bad version of OSX 10.4.7. Minimizing programs was choppy and stuttering again and for a short while I had funky horizontal blue snowy lines when switching tabs in Safari and Firefox. That has since gone away, but the choppy video performance remains.
    Anyone experiencing the same since updating Office 2004 to 11.2.5? Anyone have any suggestions?
    Help. I love this MacBook, but it's performance is annoying me.

    The updates are not cumulative. You need to download
    and install each update from 11.2.1 thru 11.2.3.
    Kappy: I tried downloading and installing 11.2.1, with the plan to download and install the other two if 11.2.1 worked. And the program verified upon completion that the installation was successful. However, when I tried to trash the 11.2.1 installation folder as instructed, I got an error message saying that I "did not have sufficient privileges" for the maneuver, and when I opened Word to see what version of Office 2004 I had now, it just said 11.2, not 11.2.1. So I guess my efforts to keep up with modern technology are doomed after all.
    On the other hand, since I'm a home-office user and the only one using the application (i.e., I'm the Administrator, but not on an Exchange), I guess there's no harm in not having the updates. Since the issues the three patches resolve seem to be mainly Exchange issues, I don't really need them. But I do appreciate the helpful information from you and Bob Gold--thanks very much.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive Question

    Hello all,
    Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but I'm looking for help here... or possibly somebody has a forum elsewhere where I might ask this question:
    I have recently purchased a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I installed Office 2004 (Student/Teacher Edition).
    When I double-click on a document created by Word (from my PC that I transferred over), instead of my "real" Word 2004 opening the document... I get the Office 2004 Test Drive opening it...and a warning saying "I have 29 days remaining until it expires".
    My question is: How can I either remove the Office 2004 Test Drive and/or get it so that my document is opened with the "real" Office, instead of the test drive?
    As I said, I apologize if this is the wrong forum... but if you can please a) direct me to the correct forum or b) help me out with a link... I'd VERY much appreciate it.
    Thanks very much!

    If you installed (used) the Trial version of Office then merely dragging the folder to the Trash won't do the trick. You will instead have to run the Office Uninstaller (in the /Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office/ folder) and completely remove both the Trial and the licensed version of Office including preferences. Then reinstall your licensed version. This is the only sure way of avoiding any conflicts between the two versions.
