The same usage conflict ensued with the other user. Next, I un-installed Office entirely, plus I removed everything on the machine that even mentioned Microsoft. This included all the files previously mentioned in this thread. On the next re-install, I was prompted for the product key. But on the very next install screen, the system once again 'remembered' the old product key. OK, so I did a bare-bones removal of Office again.

Microsoft Office 2008 For Mac

'Support for Office for Mac 2008 will end April 9, 2013,' Microsoft's Mac Business Unit (MacBU), the firm's OS X development arm, said in a post on the team's blog Thursday.

[ Further reading: ] The MacBU's note was yet another reminder that Microsoft shortchanges customers running OS X. Microsoft supports the Windows versions of Office, even those that target consumers, for 10 years, or twice as long as it does Office for the Mac. Office Home and Student 2007, for example, which launched in late January 2007, a full year before Office for Mac 2008 appeared, will be supported until October 2017, more than four years from now. The older Office Student and Teacher 2003 retires down the road, too, in April 2014, alongside Windows XP. Even the Mac suite that's clearly business-oriented, Office 2008 for Mac Business Edition, loses support in a few days. Office for Mac 2008 will not suddenly stop working next week; it will launch, and let users create, edit and print documents. But it will not be served with security updates after April 9.

It is as if they have become bereft of any sense of creativity or innovation.;0) I had read that Office 2008 was designed by Mac enthusiasts. I think that was Microsoft propaganda. The impression I get is that Microsoft does not care about Mac business. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? If you can wait for the bugs to be worked out it will be a more satisfying upgrade.

It does (technical writing) things Pages doesn’t (e.g. Index) and seems better than MS Word. EDIT #3 (Oct 2009) I’m doing fine without MS Office for a long time now. For very math heavy documents I use Lyx (free, little complicated to start but worth it). For casual word processing, I use Pages or Nisus or openoffice (typically one of these will open a doc or docx file correctly). I use Keynote for presentations with LaTeXiT (free) for math equations. And Numbers or openoffice has been adequate for spreadsheets.

There's better support for long documents as well. File compatibility is another reason to skip, say,, which can read Office's new files but can't fully edit dynamic charts and Smart Art graphics.

Since I have to share documents with others it is handy to have a standard program with which to work. The default format in Word is now Microsoft’s.docx (xtml), which can be changed in the preferences to the more universal.doc. Openfoam 2.0 x for mac os. When I have gone to the Microsoft website they have admitted that many of these problems are bugs and that they are being addressed. Another work around that MS recommended in Word was to create a new template from which to operate as it seems that the present template can be easily corrupted. Since Office 2008 no longer works with macros and Visual Basic I have had to abandon the Excel self-calculating Invoice template I used to use all the way back to my PC days. I am now using a template that is in Pages – that works beautifully.

What didn’t change -you still can’t generate motion paths in PowerPoint (to move objects around on a slide) like you can in the PC version since a few versions ago. But you can play this back fine if you generated the PowerPoint on a PC.
