  • Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 crashes

    I have recently upgraded (probably the wrong term) to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. Since then I have been running into stability problems. Excel just closes intermittently and my work is lost unless I have just saved. I use Excel a lot because Numbers doesn't have certain abilities I need. I did not have a problem with Excel in the previous version even on Leopard.
    Now when I work with print layout and prefilling cells, the system is exceptionally vulnerable.
    I've checked to make sure I have the most current versions of everything.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Does anybody have any solutions for me?
    Right now I have two files I can not print because each time I go to print excel crashes. I just tried 6 times before writing this post.
    Help, please.

    Mac 2008 has many great features that I wish I could use. But when I try to use them, the entire suite crashes. Microsoft Word crashes if I cut and paste between different versions of the same document. You cannot cut and paste between 97-2003 and 2008 documents without a crash at some point. Trying to make brochures or any special projects are next to impossible. Cutting and paste within the document lends to a crash. Today I was reorganizing the layout on our company newsletter..3 crashes in 5 minutes just from moving objects. 2008 is the least stable product from Microsoft to date. I see updates for my 2004, but they are very slow issuing updates to 2008. My recommendation: don't buy 2008 until 2009.
    I have 4 gigabytes of RAM and a nearly empty hard drive. Even after I close out all my programs and run Mac 2008 I get insufficient memory comments. I can edit a DVD and run a number of programs simultaneously without seeing much of a slow down. But Office doesn't just slow down, it crashes.
    So anyone considering an upgrade..wait till guinea pigs like me have identified all the bugs. I use the office suite for 4-6 hours a day for work. And I do get around to using the majority of its more common features. But if 2008 does not improve soon, I am going back to my XP version that I am running on VMWare.

  • Word for Mac 2008 - documents even at 100% size are too small!

    I am new to Mac. Just started using Word for Mac (2008) on my new MacBook Air. (I do not have a current user contract with Microsoft for this Word for Mac, so I cannot call them for support.)
    The 100% setting shows my new (and old) documents in a very, very reduced way. Only by zooming to the 200% setting can I get the documents to look a normal, standard size. I never experienced this on a PC, using Word versions 1995, 2000, 2007, 2011. I have searched the internet for answers, but have found nothing to solve this. I am sure there must be others having this same problem. Can anyone help me?

    Apparently this is a shortcoming of Mac OS X - resolution independence would allow the display and real world size to match. There is also no way of offsetting this and entering the real dpi of your Macbook Air into MS Word - it just assumes the display is 72dpi and that is that. There is no way to make it correct as it stands unfortunately.

  • I am new to mac and am trying to understand how to do something i did in Word. In Word you can set up document so that you have 2 pages per 8.5 x 11 landscape page. Each page is treated as a separate page. Can this be done in word for mac 2008?

  • Spaces and MS Word for Mac 2008..anyone else having this problem

    Hello,
    I know MS Word for Mac 2008 isn't a Apple Product but is anyone else having the same problem as me and is there a solution?
    I have it set up to be in "spaces 4" and I'll be working on it and suddenly it ends up in space 2, or 1. Really aggravating.
    Sean

    Yes. Exact same problem. Folks at the MS MacBu are aware of it and say that both Apple and MS are working on it. It's still an incredibly annoying problem, though. In fact, it's even worse than you descrine.
    Not only does Word 2008 work with spaces, it makes it impossible to use spaces with other applications. I've tried to leave all Word docxs (and docs) in one space and then put other applications in other spaces. It doesn't work. Word doc(x)s still move around randomly.
    It's one thing for Word 08 not to work with spaces, but to actually interfere with other apps that do (did) work with spaces, that's pretty bad. I have to admit I feel quite foolish for purchasing Microsoft Office 2008 (at considerable expense). I do at least hope both companies are working on a fix.

  • I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off

    I'm running Adobe 9 pro on snow leopard and when I save or print from word for mac 14 the bottom gets cuts off. Can someone help?

    Ah! You're creating a PDF out of Word through Acrobat. The cutoff is most likely being affected by the printer chosen.
    When you call up the print dialogue in Word, check to see what printer is being used. If it's a typical inkjet printer, Acrobat is using the print margins of that printer as the cutoff area. Since most such printers can't print to the last inch and half or so of the paper, that's where it would be cut off.
    Near the bottom, under the preview of the document, click on the Page Setup button. It doesn't really matter which printer you select here. Under Paper Size, choose Manage Custom Sizes. Under the Non-Printable Area heading, choose the same printer and set the paper size you're using.
    Note that the unprintable margins for that printer will be filled in automatically. That's what's being cut off. Click the + button to create a modified version. The default will be "Untitled". Give it a new name if you want. Then set all of the margins to zero. Click OK. Now you'll have that as a choice under Paper Size. Doesn't matter that the actual printer can't use this setting since you're going to a PDF. Click OK to get back to the main Word print dialogue.
    Now choose Save as Adobe PDF. It should give you an exact duplicate of what's on screen in Word since as far as Acrobat is concerned, your "printer" has no unprintable margins.

  • Cannot cut and paste text messages (SMS)

    Hi,
    need help from you guys.
    i usually cut and paste my messages from nokia pc suite->inbox
    into another folder that i created. usually, every single SMS will create a file with the extension .vmg
    From here i will import into nokia life blog to make it easier for me to read.
    Unfortunately, i can no longer cut and paste. When i clicked paste inside a folder, nothing happened. I have also tried using copy-paste but still no luck. Im not sure its because of my OS or the nokia pc suite itself.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thank you in advance
    btw, this is my spec
    MS Vista Ultimate (build 6000)
    Nokia Pc Suite 6.84.10.3
    Connect using CA-43
    My phone is 6230i

    A walk around is to backup all sms to a .nbu then use Noki to convert/extract all sms entries to .vmg(vMessage) files.
    What's the law of the jungle?

  • Word for Mac 2011 crash in a random mode. After the last update is the same story...Help

    When I use word for mac 2011 (last update), in a random way it crash and i lost my work. I try to repair disk permission but is the same story.
    Anyone can help????

    Just reinstall Office. Use the uninstaller in the MS Office folder to remove the corrupt preference files that are creating the crashes. And, iMacRDQ has the right idea. Pages is a much better app. Actually, the whole iWork suite is much better than MS Office.
    A little note about repairing permissions: It is only applicable for Apple software and not for third party stuff, especially anything made by 'that other company'.

  • My Word  documents repeatedly crash when I cut and paste between documents or websites. Can you help?

    This is from the Microsoft Answers website,

    The Maggie:
    1. Create a new blank document in .docx format
    2. Carefully select all of the text in the bad document EXCEPT the last

    4. Paste in the new document.

  • Hi!  My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook.  So frustrating!

    I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5.  My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse.  And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook.  Any thoughts?

    I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!
