Student Select and Office for Mac 2008

When using Word 2008 I view documents received from other people in some instances I get a light blue lines in the background, sometimes it is a grid pattern, sometimes the lines are horizontal and other times vertical. It does not happen always but quite frequently. The lines do not appear on a paper when I printed the document, but it can be quite annoying. I was wondering if there is some way of getting rid of them.

Hello,
I just bought my first Mac and Office 2008 (Student version). When I open Word, the Word page is only half of the computer screen (left side of screen)and the font is super tiny. Do you have any recommendations? Working on half a screen for word processing in such tiny font is killing my eyes.
Thanks.

You should be able to make the window full screen by clicking on the green
bubble in the upper left hand corner. Also check out Zoom in the window
menu.

In early January my wife and I bought a new MacBook Pro and bought Office 2004 because the salesmen told us we could get Office 2008 for shipping. He said to just check back in March or so. Anyway, I just found the link finally on my own to upgrade. Well, the link is no longer there and I am just wondering if anyone can direct me where to go from here? My name is Jay.

Oh, and our version was the Student Version. I just noticed after posting that someone earlier was told to make their own post and not to steal someone else's or that topic. I apologize if I did that, I am just trying to find out what I can do to upgrade my Office 2004 that I bought the first week of January this year (2008), and if I can still get a certificate.

If you have missed the deadline, I'm not sure if MSFT can help you.

You could try calling, but some of this stuff is farmed out to a third party
and there isn't much they can do if you have missed the time frame or do not
have the required proof.

so how do i activate the software on my new computer then? I have microsoft office from my old Mac, but when my trial expired I found no way of licensing it for the new computer. :chagrin: :chagrin:

Why are you hijacking a totally unrelated & already perverted thread?:-)

Mac Office Trial versions *do not* get activated the way PC Office does. If
you want the retail package you have to buy & install it. Make sure to
properly run Remove Office before installing, though.

MESSENGER FOR MAC
Does anyone know if there is a version of messenger for Mac that has the videoconferencing application?

MacBook Air

Does anyone have any idea why I can't install the Microsoft update on my MBA? I go through the install process, and it searches the hard drive and states it could not find a copy of Mac for Office 2008. I have an authorized copy on my MBA - is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Thanks:

Ron

Yes, some users are experiencing problems with the installer not finding
Office to update.

Use Spotlight to search for the Setup Assistant. Does it see it?

If you try to apply the Apple combo updater, does it work or do you get
updater cannot find a volume that qualifies?

Some users have found that using "Remove Office" installing again, restart
allows the updater to work. Note the AutoUpdater will update as well as
Office from 12.0.0 to 12.0.1.
