Office 2008 - Student Edition

I have two office 2008 sheets that I am transferring information back and forth from. Expose' is acting funny. I just loaded office last night and Expose has always worked fine before. I have Spaces enabled. Thanks in advance

Office 2008 is not compatible with Spaces.

Office 2008 and G3

Hello,
I am going to Purchase Office 2008 Student and Teacher Edition but I noticed it requires a G4, G5 or Intel based Mac. While this isn't a problem for my QS G4's and MacBook Pro, I am wondering about my Powerbook and iMacs. Is there anyway to get around this? Will it not even install? What if I copy the file from another hard drive to my G3 Macs will it work then? Also do the new documents save in .docx format like Office 2007 for PC? How is the compatibility between Office 2004 and 2008 (assuming there's no way to run 2008 on my G3s). Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for the reply! After installing on my PowerMac G4 and MacBook Pro I thought I would give the Pismo a try. The installer ran fine and Office 2008 works with little problem! Startup is kind of slow, but actually using the Apps isn't too bad. The apps are memory hogs so I wouldn't try it with anything less than 512MB. Just thought I would let others know who are in the same position. It took about 20 seconds with Firefox running to go from opening it in the dock to ready to type.

Office 2008 update to 2011

I bought the Office 2008 student version (3 liscences) and then updated it to 2011 by web. I installed it on my new iMac. Now I am going to buy and Air and want to install the 2008 version and update to 2011 again. I thought I read somewhere that this had to be done by the end of this year. If that is the case then will I need to buy Office again?

Depends on how many copies you upgraded. From what I'm reading, the upgrade is for a single license only. You can't assume that if you bought a 3-license 2008, that the upgrade is 3-license also.
I'd talk to Microsoft on how they are going to handle this. But, either way, any of these upgrades MUST be registered to them by the 31st.

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...

Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

Hi all,
I have a very particular question.
I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
Neil Watson

Thanks, Kurt--I understand now.
One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid! I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch. So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro. While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011. Is there a way around this issue?

Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010
Office Mac 2008 " " " Office for Win 2007
Office Mac 2004 " " " Office for Win 2003

I currently am using Office 2004 student version on a powerpc running version 10.4.11. I have a newer computer w/ intel duo core running 10.7. I want to install Office 2008 business version and share and edit existing excel files. Will I have a conflict ?

I am interested in buying Office 2008 and transferring Excel data from my Powerpc iMac which runs 10.4.11 and Office 2004 student version. I wish to constantly use and update the Excel files. Will I have a conflict?

You shouldn't have a problem, I am running 2008 and all my data from 2004 carried over. Office 2011 will also run on 10.7.

Office 2008 and Mavericks, Will it run in the new OS?

I have an iMac running Mountain Lion and I have the Office 2008 suite.
Will the suite continue running if I upgrade to Mavericks?
I have a Mac Book Pro that when I upgraded to Mountain Lion from the one before a few applications including Parallels were not compatible. I had a windows license and my other copy of Office 2008 quit working. Dont want to pay more money for new software to Microsoft to begin with. I gave up the Windows environment but I cannot give up Office, I can't afford to buy the newer version when what I have works for what I do
I already lost a copy of MS office for Mac

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/23547845#23547845 where the answer is yes and no. From that thread it appears Office 2008 will run on Mavericks but some people are having trouble with it.
Note, MS will not be supporting Office 2008 on Mavericks. Mavericks-related updates will be applied to Office 2011. So if you upgrage to Mavericks try Office 2008 but if there are issues be prepared to shell out $140 for the home/student 2011 version (or more for the version that includes Outlook).
Is there a compelling feature in Maverkicks that would compel you to upgrade? If not stick with ML to avoid giving MS more money.

Downloading MS Office 2008 to iMac without a port.

I have two licenses remaining on MS Office Home & Student Edition software purchased in 2008. It's supposed to be downloaded via the DVD provided in the packaging. Rather than purchasing a new "subscription" to MS Office as it's now called, and tossing out the 2008 version with its two remaining licenses I'd like to use them, one for my new iMac and one for my Macbook Air. Neither has a port. Is there any way to download them just using the license numbers...without having to attach something with a port to the two computers and doing it that way?

What do you mean by a port?
Maybe a DVD drive?
Buy an external Superdrive.

Installing Office 2008

I plan to install "Office 2008 for Mac: Home and Student Edition" to replace "Office:mac 2004 - Student and Teacher Edition" on my macBook. Is this an easy installation? Does the new software completely replace the old? Do I uninstall "Office 2004"?
Tom

Just checked my Macbook as I have Office 2008 installed using the Student and Home version and it removed everything form older 2004 version BUT noticed on searching in Spotlight the file caled Ofice 2004 identies which is a database and is 18.1 MB size - Do need tis and should it not have been removed when I installed 2008 version ? Is it safe to remove and fre up the 18 MB space ?
Office 2008 is good and faster than 2004

Office 2008 versions

I have a choice between:
1) Office 2008 for Special Media Edition (1 license for business or personal use) which includes stronger Exchange Server support and also extra Automator routines, and
2) Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition + Microsoft Expression Media for Mac (3 licenses for home or non-commercial use).
Although I'll probably never use the Exchange Server features that are in option 1, some day I might (or might not) do something with Automator, who knows? Right now I use Office for a home business where I regularly am creating and exchanging/editing documents with others in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I only have one Mac at the moment, but even if I had two, I'd only use one at a time, possibly a laptop and my desktop.
Any opinions as to which would be a better choice for me? In particular, what do people know about the added Automator functions?
Thanks.

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably find relevant responses to your problem by posting your quesiton on Microsoft's own product forum for their Office:Mac products rather than on an Apple forum

Office 2008 Mass Deployment

I may be posting this in the wrong area and I will apologize in advance. I work in a school district that has recently decided to upgrade ever single machine to Office 2008 and we have a deadline to have it done by the beginning of the next school year. Sitting there with and install disc and going to every machine and installing 2008 and running the updates is not going to allow it to be done in the allotted time. I have been googling and found a howto over at Mactopia that helped me create an install package with the updates incorporated already and it works awesome. Now the actual problem and question. The install package that I made does not delete Office 2004 nor does it put the icons in the Dock for Office 2008. Which is going to be required for the teachers and students. I need to figure out how to make the package that will allow me to delete Office 2004, install Office 2008 with all updates, and put the Office 2008 icons in the Dock. Then I would be able to push this package out over ARD this summer when no one is in the building and be able to make the deadline. Thanks in advance for any advice you can contribute

What software are you using to make the packages? If Packagemaker you should consider posting your question in the Developer forums, as it's more of a developer tool:

Personally, for the uninstall of 2004, I'd just send a separate Unix command before pushing the package out to delete the Office 2004 folder.

Microsoft office 2008 on new macbook air

I am trying to install my old microsoft office 2008: home and student on my new macbook air with os x mavericks. Microsofts home page is telling me that this is an unsupported product. Can i still install it or do i actually have to buy a new office-package? I can't afford this and would like to use one of the two remaining users on my old office-package, since i hav only used one. Can someone help me with this?

Good question, all I can find online are updates, not full versions. Assuming that it is no longer available for download (it is 6 years old now) you will have to buy an external drive and use it to install from your discs.
Edit:
Found a download on CNET, download it, then very carefully install it, CNET has a bad habit of 'adding' things to downloads so read what the installer dialog boxes say.
The download is here
Here is a better source to download from, Microsoft Office 2008. version 12.3.3

Is it worth it spending $200 dlls in the new Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac?

I am trying to decide whether to upgrade my Mac to the new Microsoft Office 2008. Is it worth it? What are the differences between the new version and the old one?

There are more differences than would be practical to list here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftOffice_2008_forMac
might be a good place to start, as well as Microsoft's website for a full description of new features. ArsTechnica also has a review of it on their website somewhere too.
Is there any specific reason for upgrading? If not, then I would recommend sticking with 2004. I went out and got 2008 about a month ago (student licensing, so it only cost me $40) and I'm not at all impressed. It's slower than 2004, even on my quad-core Mac Pro. The overall responsiveness of the application is sluggish, especially in Powerpoint. Dragging textboxes and other elements around the page, for example, is incredibly laggy and feels imprecise. No to mention Microsoft broke Endnote compatibility in Word 2008 as well, so if the Cite While You Write feature is important to you, forget about it. I'm sticking with Office 2004 and iWork for now. I don't feel so bad since I only spent $40 on it; no way would I justify $200 unless I needed 2008 for a specific reason (ie work compatibility, etc)
