Office 2008 Breaks Blackberry PocketSyncManager

I just recently upgraded my Office 2004 to 2008 and one more time MS does it to the users. They changed the internals in 2008 for device synchronization, rendering Blackberry's Pocket Sync Manager useless and unable to find the calendar, contacts, etc. data containers.
Contacted Blackberry/RIM and they are re-writing the software to work with 2008, possible release late summer.
If you depend on synchronizing these two devices do not upgrade at this time!!!! This was tested on a beta system prior to roll out to the users.

Warning!

1.6.0_31 update breaks office 2008 and Parallels 6?

After updating to Java 1.6.0_31 Office 2008 will no longer open as well as Parallels 6. Any ideas?

No. Neither application has any dependency on Java. I suggest running Console.app and looking for an error message that might indicate why they are failing to run.

Office 2008 and Acrobat Pro v9.1

I have recently installed Acrobat Pro 9.1. On my Mac using 10.5.6 I have also installed Microsoft Office 2008. Office was installed before Acrobat
What I cannot do is make an office document into a pdf unless I print from the application.
This is a problem because I want to process a large number of files and bind them. Using the tools in Acrobat is supposed to make this easy
The error that comes up is
Acrobat could not open XXXXX because it is not a supported file type etc
Is there a know compatibility problem or does anyone have any advice or guidance
The install of all applications was pain free
Any help much appreciated
Mark

In Word 2008 there is a Microsoft created PDF Converter.
This overcomes the problem Adobe knows about but rufuses to fix where if Page or section breaks are in the document the Pdf starts over with a new PDF at each break and you end up having to knit back together. Finally after years of waiting for adobe to fix the problem MS decided to fix themeselves. It t still will cause the the PDF to be chopped up if there is a Change in Page orientation.
To invoke MS Converter once you save the Windows Document, go to File >Save as... , then from Drop down list Choose PDF.
Yes 2008 is a definite step Backwards. With support of Macros for people that use Macros missing. The next version out will see a Return of macros and all macro features.
I still prefer 2004 myself. But 2008 does have its advantages.

Can't Paste in Dreamweaver C3 from Office 2008

Howdy there,
I am running OS X 10.5.1 on a Macbook with Dreamweaver CS3
and I just bought and installed MS Office 2008. Previously I used
to use Word 2004 to write the text for my website and copy and
paste it in Dreamweaver CS3 and it woudl keep the paragraph breaks.
Unfortunately, when I wrote in Word 2008, copy, and try to paste in
Dreamweaver now it will only paste in "text only" and not keep the
paragraph breaks. All the other options for copying will not allow
me to paste anything from Word 2008. I am guessing Microsoft did
some type of change to their formatting. Will Adobe create an
update for Dreamweaver to deal with this change and allow pasting
from Word 2008? Can anyone think of a work around?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

I can confirm that this is happening. Paste from Word only
works if I
select TEXT ONLY. Any other option pastes nothing into Design
view.

No idea. Sorry.
> Can anyone think of a work

Save to HTML from Word, and paste that into code view?
Anyhow, I'll alert the team about this....

Word/Office 2008 Mac

I recently installed Office 2008 on my Mac. Dreamweaver CS3
does not allow me to paste copied Word files into new files. It
says that it does not recognize the format of the files. I can save
the files as Word htm files and use them that way but DW won't
allow me to revise/change those files. Is there a patch to fix
this? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Open Word 2008
Save as Word 2004 Format may be listed as 95-2004 (.com)
DW will open as before.
Unless you have CS3 (DW9) version it won't recognize DOCX
format DOCX
format uses XML and its said you can post directly on a
website and it
can viewed. Recently a question on the msnews Office for Mac

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

Is Office 2008 for Mac more compatible with PC's ?

Hi,
I currently have iWork 09. Sometimes, I save my documents to a .doc format for instance, but when I re-open it, I always have error messages saying that this thing or that thing has been modified to fit the current format etc...
If I use office 2008, will it be a 100% compatible with PC's ?
Sincerely.

Yes, Office for Mac should be fully compatible with Office on Windows.
The reason errors are popping up on your iWork documents may be because you are using things that aren't supported in Word (such as image reflections, or different fonts).

It seems that my Office 2008 is incompatible with the Yosemite OS that my friend just installed on my iMac. My Word no longer works. Also, I can't access messages on Entourage. What version of Office should I buy?

My friend installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac. Since then, I can barely use my Miocrsoft Word 2008. The spinning pinwheel, things freezing up, template and formatting trouble, and I can't get any Entourage messages more than a year old, which is a disaster. I read that Yosemite won't support Word 2008. What Microsoft Update should I buy, and will that fix my problems? I am desperate. Thank you in advance for your help. Here is the result I got from EtreCheck. I hope this helps you help me. BTW, your drop-down menu under Operating System doesn't work

Remove Office 2008 for Mac using Microsoft deinstall procedure. Reinstall Office 2008 for Mac. If there are updates, apply them. Using Disk Utility, verify/repair permissions on your boot drive.
Does Office for Mac 2008 now work correctly? If not, you may want to repeat the above first sentence, and then update to Office for Mac 2011, and apply the latest (14.4.8) update which has Yosemite fixes.

I cannot open any Word document or even Powerpoints or anything related to Office 2008, which has been working fine for the last 2 years. I need help...

I installed an application called "You SendIt" because some audio files were sent to me and I had to access them through it. My Mac is running Windows and OS-X. I bought an version of Office 2008 separately. I tried to uninstall it, to get rid of all my downloads and also to reinstall Office 2008 but nothing works...
Whenever I try to open a Word file, for example, it says:
"The application Microsoft Word quit unexpectedly. Mac OS-X and other applications are not affected. Click relaunch to launch the application again. CLick Report to see more details or send a report to Apple"
Of course I have tried to reset and relaunch... But it does not work. I realized today I have the same problem with Powerpoint.
I have looked at Mac help forums... but no results...
So, if you or your friend had any idea on how to solve this, it would help me A LOT!!
Thank you in advance.

Hi Chris,
Well, I tried to delete the Caches and I threw all the .plist files related to microsoft in the trash -- athough I don't know if this is the way to delete files but I haven't found another yet....
From your other suggestions, it seems to me that you have the impression that I want to stop using Microsoft Office (it was 2007, I made a mistake) though... but this is not the case.
So... tell me if I misunderstood correctly or if I did anything wrong, or if you have anything else to suggest...
Thanks a lot anyways!

Slow Leopard Takes forever to open MS Office 2008

Over the last few weeks/months, I have noticed that it is taking minutes (NOT Seconds) to open MS Office Apps (Excel, Word, Entourage). This has now become very, very annoying and wondering if there is something I can do to fix this.
Or do I wait for Snow Leopard to replace Slow Leopard.
Please help.

Greetings,
It should not take minutes, but it will take a few seconds, to load. I have used Office 2004, and 2008 - they both work fine for me, and always have. I'd say that Office 2008 loads up Excel in about 15 seconds, and that''s with email up, and maybe one browser instance. I just did it, and it was 17 seconds to load Excel and be ready to enter data.
Do you have enough memory, and are you loading an excessive number of apps? Look in your account profile and see what you're starting there. Also are you indexing, is Time machine running, or any other activity going on when you are trying to load Office?
Find out what is running a the time you are trying to load Office.
Cheers,
M.

? about Office 2008...didn't know where else to get help

Microsoft was absolutely no help with this issue I have been dealing with.
I have Office 2008 and was having difficulty with it freezing up, etc. I ran the autoupdate program from Word and it says that I need to install Autoupdate 2.1.1. I can't tell you how many times I have tried to install it! I have downloaded it from their website and also from Word and it is as if I have never installed it. In the meantime, I can't install any of the regular Office 12.1.xxxx updates. Are the two tied together? How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!!!
Why do I keep going back to MS???

Sadly they rarely are.
Have you considered switching to a real Office Suite like OpenOffice or NeoOffice, either of which are at least 99.99% MSOffice compatible, are free and never have any problems.
I have Office 2008 and was having difficulty with it freezing up, etc.
Yes, that's MSOffice alright.
Why do I keep going back to MS???
I don't know. As I noted, there are far superior options available.

MS Office 2008 Update: fixes some print issues?

I noticed the first update for Office 2008 is out, and one "fix" they list for Word is:
Blank pages are no longer printed when you print to a high resolution printer. This update fixes an issue in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard that causes blank pages to print when you print to a high resolution printer.
I know people have struggled with Samsung and other printers and Word since Leopard released. I do not have one of the affected printers so cannot test it.
The updater is here:

MS office 2008 now crashing when we try to print. No changes to computer; same old software. New printer 9 months ago, no trouble printing until last month. Other programs (adobe, mac) print fine. What can I try?

I have an iMac from 2009. It's running OSX 10.6.8 and we've used MS Office 2008 for Mac all along without any trouble. We replaced our printer 8 or 9 months ago, and we've had no trouble printing from any program until the last several weeks. Now, when we try to print ONLY from word or excel, the print window appears, but then the spinning rainbow comes up, followed by a Microsoft crash message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried to trick it into making a PDF, but the crash comes too fast. The only change to our entire Mac ecosystem is the following: We also have a Macbook Pro that has the 2nd allowed installation of the same MS Office 2008 for Mac. Due to liquid damage 6 weeks ago, that computer was replaced and all of the data and applications were moved from the dead one to the new one. Could this possibly be because microsoft detects a "third" computer "using" its software? I'm guessing no because I've seen several threads about problems similar to mine, and none mention licensing issues. In terms of troubleshooting, I've shut down, unplugged, restarted and tried newly created docs as well as old ones. Same results, no matter what.

Office 2008 for Mac: Any advice on where to get it cheaper for a student?

I am about to go into my Master's Degree at Dallas Theological Seminary and I need to get Office 2008 for Mac. The Apple store recommended me get it at my school but my school's bookstore does not have it and journeyed.com doesn't support DTS. Does anyone know how or where I can get this program for less than $100 with a student discount? I really need to know.

Remember... Google is your friend.

Also, be aware that this is a forum for troubleshooting compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, and that Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products are the best place to post Office related questions. Good luck...

Office 2008 very slow in iBook

Hi All,
I recently installed Microsoft Office 2008 in my iBook, but the applications run pretty slow (only Office), specially PowerPoint. I had Office 2004 and it worked fine. Any suggestions on how to improve the speed of those applications? Getting a new RAM memory perhaps? I installed a 1 GB Ram memory one year ago.
The details of my Mac are:
Machine Model: PowerBook6,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1.25 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Thanks in advance!

Office 2008 is slow even on the newer machines. More memory will help, but when you say slow, do you mean slow at just working, or slow to load? If slow to load, do a search in all of the forums. This has been reported elsewhere, and it is due to the fonts on the system. By doing maintenance on the system fonts (described in the other threads), it will speed up the loading. If it's slow at just working, memory will help, but not too much.
