Templates from Office 2004

Can I move my templates created in MS Word into my Pages '08 template folder?????
I have several templates I would prefer to save and not recreate again. \
Perhaps there is a better path I should follow to covert the MS Word templates over to Pages????
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

In my installation of Office 2004, none of the templates have an extension. I found that Pages doesn't recognize them as Word without it. Once I added the .doc extension, Pages was able to open the files. I wrote a user tip awhile back for AppleWorks that explains how to use AppleScript to add extensions to whole folders of files at one time. It came in very handy adding the .doc to all of those Word templates.
Also, if you have, download or receive any Word templates with the .dot extension, just change the extension to .doc & Pages will open them.

  • Can't print to PDF from Office 2004

    I have a new MacBook 2 GHz with 2 G RAM and 40 G available on my hard drive. I flawlessly transfered the data from my G3 ibook and everything was going great. I went to print on Word 2004 and the "print to PDF" and "cancel" buttons were missing. Opening TextEdit to check what it going going on, I went to print and the "print to PDF" and "cancel" buttons were there. I called Microsoft and they said that the print windows are from the OS not from Office. Has anyone else heard of this issue?
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    After all day with Apple and Microsoft the culprit is....
    An HP printer driver that was on my iBook G3 then transfered over to my new MacBook. Some how it did not agree with the new OS.
    The problem was found by noticing that in "safe boot" mode Office was able to save as PDF. Therefore it was a problem with a third party file that wasn't Office.
    It was solved by going into Libraries/Preferences/StartUpItems and dumping what was there (two HP files) then removing the HP driver. That was it!

  • Is Entourage available for sale separately from Office 2004?

    Is Entourage offered as a stand-alone product? I'd like to use it but apparently I'd have to buy the entire $399 Office 2004 product.
    Thanks,

    Not according to Microsoft. Entourage is only available as part of Office 2004 X. The Student Teacher Edition is $149 MSRP.

  • Office 2004 not working in Lion

    As the title says, but does anyone know if this verison is longer supportive in Lion and whether any recent version of office will work?
    Cheers,
    John

    Office 2004 is a PowerPC application, and those are not supported in Lion.  Newer versions of Office will work fine.
    Not that I know why anyone would want to go from Office 2004 to Office 2008 since newer versions of Office are available.  But just in case...  If you have Office 2008 installed, it would be fine after upgrading to Lion.  However, you cannot actually install Office 2008 in Lion.  While all of the Office 2008 applications are Intel compatible, for some reason, Microsoft chose to not upgrade the actual installer... so the installer required Rosetta.  Thats Microsoft for ya.

  • Can I restore Office 2004 from Time machine backup

    Hi Guys,
    I have managed to delete office 2004 when I was trying to install office 2008 using a friend's copy. Office 2008 will not work for me as it needs online registration.
    I no longer have the office 2004 install disk. Is it possible to re-install office 2004 from my time machine backup. I can see it is available in the backup from before yesterday but not sure if I try to restore what will happen.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hi PaulieHK,
    Open Finder on you original view desktop.
    No go to Application folder and select the Office 2004.
    NOW, select the Time Machine icon in the dock and it will bring you back in history.
    You can go back before you tried to install Office 2008.
    Select IN Time Machine the application Office 2004 and click on PUT BACK.
    Time machine will now put back the situation as it was before the installing Office 2008.
    When you see your original desktop again try to open Office 2004.
    Good luck ...

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Now my installed programs:- Quarkxpress 6.5 - Adobe creative suite CS2 - Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will not open - I get a banner saying not supported by power mac. Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Converting from ie and using mac office 2004

    We just upgraded to Mac office 2004 and are trying to figure out how we can insert url's into entourage messages. In the past, we used the Insert command which provided a list from IE's favorites...now that seems to be either impossible or hard to find.
    Does anyone have any ideas??? It would seem that with all the interoperability objectives and MSFT's advance notice of discontinuing IE .... there should be something out there somewhere....
    IMac ppc4 800mhz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    That is possible...but the mac office used to have a function that allowed one to (using the insert command) insert a url link stored in IE as a favorite.
    Opening two programs, as you suggest, is somewhat of a step backward and requires the user to open their browser (if not open), find the url in the bookmarks, copy it and then paste it in the email/document.
    If you have any ideas - I'd be interested in hearing about them.

    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):

    In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

  • I downloaded Mountain Lion from being on Snow Leopard and lost my entire Office 2004 suite, including Entourage which was my main email server. If I download Office 2008, will I retrieve all my lost Entourage email folders?

    Other options?

    It's not that simple. You didn't lose your Office 2004 suite. Office 2004 won't run in Mountain Lion. You need to update your Office software. You need to purchase either Office 2008 or 2011. Either one can run in Mountain Lion.

  • I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK

    I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 for Mac, installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK. Could this be a virus?

    Just thinking, if things are really missing...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • TS3938 I am not interested in updated software from MS. Is there another solution to removing Office 2004 completely?

    Just upgraded to Lion and realize that MS Office 2004 is no longer supported. I am okay with that and not interested in a compatible version.
    I went to use "uninstall"  and because Power PC apps are no longer supported this function does not work either.
    Is there a way to remove it completely without upgrading?

  • My Office 2004 docs from leopard when sent to PC are the size of postage stamps

    I recently upgraded to Leopard on my iMac. I have Office 2004. No problems previously.
    Now when I send my 2004 Word docs to a PC when they are opened they are the size of postage stamps - help!

    You should probably post your question in Microsft's own forums for their Mac version of Office as it's their software you're having issues with and Apple Communites only provide support for Apple products:  http://www.officeformac.com/productforums
