Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC. When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet. Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming! The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document. Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open? All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem. Can someone help please? Thanks!

You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
Make sure all Office application are quit fully
Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.microsoft.Excel.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

JDialogs with InternalFrames.... can someone please help?

hi all,
i want to create a JDialog (not JOptionPane) with the parent component being an InternalFrame... i have tried to to do, but i cant pass compilation..and i guess its cos i cant use JDialogs with InternalFrames being the parent component..
Is this true, and if so, what can i do to solve the problem, or is there a way to get round this..?
Thank You for ur help..

You cannot place root level components like JWindow
and JDialog inside something else, like a
JDesktopPane.
You can, however use a JDesktopPane inside a JWindow
(you've probably done that), and insert JInternalFrame
and JInternalDialog into that.
Conclusion is, that unless you change from a JDialog
to an JInternalDialog or JInternalFrame, you will
never pass compilation. What's the problem with
changing?as far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as JInternalDialog, however for an option pane there are showInternal.... methods, but this doesn't sound like what you want to do. my gues is that you want a dialog, you want it modal and you want it centered relative to it's supposed parent, I would make it a JDialog, set it modal, and use its setLocationRelativeTo(Component c) method to center it over the JInternalFrame parent. The dialog will not show up in the taskbar in windows and you won't be able to do anything else with your app until you close the dialog (modality). hope that helps.

Problems with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

Hi,
I replaced my old mac around two months ago so I now own a Macbook Pro with Lion. Since then, whenever I open Microsoft Word, or a previously saved document, it also opens other documents I've saved since I bought the laptop. However, this does not include the documents I managed to retrieve from my previous Mac.
Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this happening?
Thank you

I'm sorry, but I have the same problem and neither the article indicated or using First Aid on the keychains have fixed it - problems occurred after installing Office 2008. What else can I try?
Regards
mjf

Using PHP to process an online form and send the input by email is very simple. The mail() function takes a minimum of three arguments, namely: the address the mail is being sent to, the subject line, and the body of the email as a single string. The reason some people use scripts like form2mail.php is because they don't have the knowledge or patience to validate the user input to make sure it's safe to send.
Rather than attempt to trawl through your complex form looking for the problems, I would suggest starting with a couple of simple tests.
First of all, create a PHP page called mailtest.php containing the following script:
<?php
$to = '[email protected]'; // use your own email address
$subject = 'PHP mail test';
$message = 'This is a test of the mail() function.';
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
if ($sent) {
echo 'Mail was sent';
} else {
echo 'Problem sending mail';
?>
Save the script, upload it to your server, and load it into a browser. If you see "Mail is sent", you're in business. If not, it probably means that the hosting company insists on the fifth argument being supplied to mail(). This is your email address preceded by -f. Change the line of code that sends the mail to this:
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '[email protected]');
Obviously, replace "[email protected]" with your own email address.
If this results in the mail being sent successfully, you will need to adapt the code in form2mail.php to accept the fifth parameter. You need to change the following line, which is a few lines from the end of the script:
if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader))
Change it to this:
if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader, '[email protected]'))
Again, use your own email address instead of "[email protected]".
Once you have determined whether you need the fifth argument, test form2mail.php with a very simple form like this:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="form2mail.php">
<p>
    <label for="name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</p>
<p>
    <label for="email">Email:</label>
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
</p>
<p>
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="boat cleaning" id="options_0" />
      Boat cleaning</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="RV cleaning" id="options_1" />
      RV cleaning</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="motorcycle cleaning" id="options_2" />
      Motorcycle cleaning</label>
</p>
<p>
    <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
If that works, you can start to make the form more complex and add back your JavaScript validation.

I have problems with importing music to iTunes, can somebody please help me?

I have all my music organized on an external hard disc in folders for each artist and album, but I can only import some of the folders. It’s like iTunes isn’t registering specific folders, and just skip these folders while the rest of the folders is added as normal. I have tried to add the missing folders manually but it doesn’t help. I simply can’t add some music to iTunes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

It's the file attributes. The files will add but when you try to add a folder it doesn't work. You can get a bulk attribute changer progeam like BulkFileChanger and get rid of the Hidden and archive attributes, This fixed my problem.

Because even after 14 years MS has failed to add arabic support to most Office products for Mac. Instead use Open/LibreOffice or Numbers.

I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008

Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.

Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

I'm getting the run-around. Can someone please help me with a rebate problem?

I purchased a Samsung W/D from Best Buy with the free vacuum offer. It was delivered and I submitted my rebate request. The submission page said to wait 6 to 8 weeks for processing. I waited 8 weeks and then became concerned. When I called the rebate center they said they had no record of my submission. Obviously, the online process failed. I understand technology doesn't always work, but the operator and manager told me I would now not be able to get my rebate and only offered a mailing address to complain. I am EXTREMELY frustrated. First, because the only reason I purchased these units was for the rebate and now I cannot return them to Best Buy because of the time elapsed. Second, if I was aware that there was a problem with the submission I would have been able to fix the situation. The website said all was OK, and all the information said to wait 6-8 weeks. Why would I have checked in before that time? Now I'm told I'm too late to fix it??? All I want is the vacuum cleaner I was promised when I purchased the W/D. Can someone please help me?

Hello ChadMelton,
I have a hard time passing up offers for free products, so I understand how such an offer could influence your decision to buy. I'm wholly disappointed to read, though, that your rebate experience didn't go smoothly and that the manufacturer seems to have been less than cooperative. I would be frustrated too under such circumstances!
I was unable to locate your purchase using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed. I would like to look into this situation on your behalf, but will need more information to begin. If you will please send me a private message that includes your full name, telephone number, order number and/or the Customer Service PIN from your purchase receipt, I'll get started.
I'm very grateful that you wrote to us with your concerns.
Sincerely,

My "fn" button is stuck on only revealing mission control in Lion. With this problem none of my "f" keys will work nor can I hold "fn" and delete to delete text in opposite direction. Can someone please help with this?
