Unfortunately, for Office 2008, that application seems to be the most used one, Word.Microsoft scanned this file for viruses, using the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The main problem with packaging and releasing applications as a suite is that, given the nature of deadlines, in any suite there's going to be one "runt" in the litter, one application that was most buggy and least ready when the release date arrived. Just be advised that Word loads much more slowly than Excel and Powerpoint. Starting Word seems to go OK, and in the few days I've used it, I've had no problem editing and saving files using the new and much more attractive interface.
Microsoft seems to know that an older application can cause problems, but their deinstallation portion of the new installation apparently doesn't clean out everything it should. On my MacBook that demo version of Word was never run, so those files didn't exist. I suspect it's related to the fact that on my iMac, the demo version of Word 2004 loaded several times, creating the files Word creates when it first runs. I've tried every fix for the iMac's problems I could find to no avail. Installed on my MacBook under the three installations license, it works fine. Installed on my iMac, it pops off a bug report to Microsoft every time I quit and sometimes gets lost in a spinning rainbow wheel and has to be force quit. MacFixit has described it in more detail. Word also has an issue with quitting, apparently when it tries to write the Normal file that saves defaults. OpenOffice/NeoOffice is promising VBA support soon, amazing how they can offer it but MS can't, with all their professional MacBU developers.īut you do get nice Gallery eye-candy, so Mac Office 2008 is not a total loss!
Cross-platform scripting CAN be made to work, if you want to. Why can't MS instead use something like JavaScript? It works great for InDesign and Acrobat, and Adobe even includes *three* scripting options: AppleScript, JavaScript, and Visual Basic. This alone pretty much renders Mac Office 2008 as *NSFW* (Not Safe For Productive Work). Only alternative is develop *TWO* entirely different scripting solutions.Īny of your company's critical spreadsheets that use VBA? Sorry, Mac users, no way to use them (except running Parallels/WinXP/Office2007 on Windows). Use the VBA spreadsheets on your Mac? Nope.

Try to share your AppleScripted spreadsheets with PC users? Nope. So there will never be any cross-platform scripting solution: Macs would have to use AppleScript/Automator, while Windows users can still use VBA.

You can read the full list of issues on Microsoft's support site, where they have a page of known issues for each program: Word įinally, I uncovered one more issue while posting this hint - the Help window can become unresponsive or just disappear all together while trying to clip out known issues!Īs reported on since last year, the biggest problem (and 100% deal-breaker for us) is the lack of *any* VBA support for Excel in Mac Office 2008. Some of them are fairly significant, and may explain some troubles you may be having with Office 2008. Perhaps someone has already noted this, but Microsoft lists (in the Help file) a number of known issues with Office 2008.
