Contents • • • • • • • Release [ ] Office 2008 was originally slated for release in the second half of 2007; however, it was delayed until January 2008, purportedly to allow time to fix lingering bugs. Office 2008 is the only version of Office for Mac supplied as a. Unlike Office 2007 for Windows, Office 2008 was not offered as a public before its scheduled release date. Features [ ] Office 2008 for Mac includes the same core programs currently included with Office 2004 for Mac:,,. Mac-only features included are a publishing layout view, which offers functionality similar to for Windows, a 'Ledger Sheet mode' in Excel to ease financial tasks, and a 'My Day' application offering a quick way to view the day's events. Office 2008 supports the new format, and defaults to saving all files in this format. On February 21, 2008 Geoff Price revealed that the format conversion update for Office 2004 would be delayed until June 2008 in order to provide the first update to Office 2008.

That's clear from Microsoft's policies. On its, Microsoft explains support for business and consumer software. 'Microsoft will offer a minimum of 10 years of support for Business and Developer products,' the company says.

By doing it the correct way you can have exactly the space after that you want, and you won't end up with an empty paragraph at the top of the page if you reformat your document.When I am given text for layout the first thing I do is take out all the empty paragraphs, otherwise it is unusable. Likewise all the double spaces after periods, and the spaces before question marks! As others have said, Word's doing it right. Adding an empty line is wrong, and there should be a space after paras.

• In the Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) volume window, double-click the Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) application to start the update process, and then follow the instructions on the screen. • If the installation finishes successfully, you can remove the update installer from your hard disk. To remove the update installer, first drag the Office 2008 SP1 Update (12.1.0) volume to the Trash, and then drag the file that you downloaded to the Trash. Note This update is also available from Microsoft AutoUpdate, an application that can automatically keep your Microsoft software up to date.

That Word is formatting 'correctly' is all well and good, except that standard typographical practice is to put two returns after a paragraph. Sure, it dates back to using a typewriter, and yes, proper formatting simple on a carriage return would perhaps be better, but - that's the way it is. If nothing else, though, just try cutting and pasting text from Word if you haven't put too returns in - your paragraphs are (apparently) 'gone'. For plain text formatting you really need those two returns. A better option would be for Word to recognise that two carriage returns directly after each other is a new paragraph (perhaps it already does - I haven't experimented in detail.) [ ]. Hi Guys, glad some have found this hint useful.

Note: Selecting the 'Allow internet faxing from MS Office ONLY' option adds additional security mechanisms that ensure that others cannot 'spoof' your email address to send faxes at your expense. If you select this option, you will only be able to submit faxes from MS Office using MS Outlook.

Microsoft has published a good tutorial on how to do that. First, you need to outfit your computer with a fax modem. A fax modem is a relatively cheap piece of hardware that lets your computer communicate with a fax machine over a standard phone line. There are internal and external fax modems available.

As someone who reads lots of Word docs in my job (university lecturer) I'm glad that before long students using the defaults will be submitting properly formatted texts! You could, as has been said, use shift-return for a line break without starting a new paragraph or set up a new style, but honestly, don't - Word is right! (If only they'd automatically get rid of two spaces after a full stop (period) then it would be perfect!) [ ]. Wrong or right, my opinion is this. In Word 2004, I could simply type a list of items in single space if I wanted. In Word 2008, if I want to do the same thing, I have to do a shift-return after each item to avoid the double spacing.

Option #1: Set in preferences (less useful, bit fiddly, but quick for a one off) Word > Preferences > Edit > Overtype (toggle box) Option #2.: Add a Custom Menu command for 'Overtype' View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars & Menus > (Click 'Commands' tab) > (Click 'All Commands' filter) > Overtype (drag either to menu or toolbar) I put under 'Edit' menu. If you really want the toolbar button, with Word 2011 and the new 'Ribbon', it seems to only let you drag the custom toolbar entry to the toolbar at very top of the Word window. Hope this helps - I was surprised at how tricky this was to find, too!

Publishing Layout offers a bunch of tools for placing and manipulating text and graphics on the page. Like Pages, Word 2008 allows you to create template documents with image and text placeholders; you can drag and drop images and text into those placeholders, making it easy to turn those templates into new, fresh documents.

Exchange users (faculty and staff) can send faxes via email. This service reduces the need for fax machines and printing costs. Supported document formats are pdf, html, jpg, gif, rtf, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Note: Outbound international faxes are blocked.

Formula Builder walks you through building calculations, keeping recently used ones at the top of its memory. As you type in the Formula bar, Excel will autofill values that may match. Excel has expanded and can now handle a total of 17.18 billion cells, as many as its Windows cousin. The Elements Gallery offers Ledger Sheets, templates for commonly used tasks such as juggling a household budget or managing company payroll. We find these handy for getting started with a project. However, we prefer the elegant layouts, outside-the-grid setup, and print preview tools within Apple's Numbers for light users of spreadsheets.

However, there have been many reports of the updater failing to install, resulting in a message saying that an updatable version of Office 2008 was not found. This appears to be related to users modifying the contents of the Microsoft Office folder in ways which do not cause problems with most other software (such as 'localizing' using a program to remove application support files in unwanted languages), and which do not affect Office's operations, but which cause the updaters' installers to believe that the application is not valid for update. A small modification to the installer has been found an effective work-around (see reference). Another widespread problem reported after SP1 is that Office files will no longer open in Office applications when opened (double-clicked) from the Mac OS X Finder or launched from other applications such as an email attachment. The trigger for this problem is that Microsoft in SP1 unilaterally and without warning deprecated certain older Mac OS 'Type' codes such as 'WDBN' that some files may have, either because they are simply very old, or because some applications assign the older Type code when saving them to the disk.

(It's debatable which is better.) What you should NOT do is press carriage return twice, leaving a dangling, empty, useless paragraph between your two paragraphs. This could cause complete havoc if and when you reformat your document at a later stage. It's also in no way new to Office 2008 for Word to have spacing attached to its default paragraph style. This goes back.

If you need automation, Word 2008 is not for you. Macworld’s buying advice As a word processor, little has changed in Word 2008. The elimination of VBA and weak support for AppleScript and Automator make the program far less versatile and valuable for users who really need automation. But the program’s streamlined interface and the addition of the new Publishing Layout view make it a compelling choice, especially if you want to stretch Word beyond its current capabilities.

A Thumbnail View like the one in Office 2007 may help to keep from losing your place. You can flip through slides on location using an Apple Remote. And there's an option for sending a presentation to iPhoto, making it accessible as a PNG or a JPEG for iPod viewing. Entourage Although Mac users can rely upon the free Mail, Entourage offers more features fit for business.

I am not used to typing in this way and it's a hard habit to break. For those who are saying it's wrong, why wasn't the auto paragraph spacing the default in Word 04? A double return after each paragraph has NOT caused any problems for me ever since using Word in any version -- Mac OR Windows.

• Now choose Paragraph from the pop-up menu in the lower left corner of that same window. • In the new window, change the After setting to 0. • Click OK twice to close windows, then press Apply in the main Style window.

Unfortunately, according to Microsoft, Word’s AppleScript library isn’t nearly as complete as the VBA library was. In addition, while there are 30 Automator actions for Word, they aren’t that useful. Neither AppleScript nor Automator will let you record a string of events in Word and save them as a reusable script. Word does a good job of merging data from a variety of sources, including text files, Office’s own address book, and FileMaker Pro. But, unlike Pages, Word can’t merge data from Apple’s Address Book app. I’d prefer a program that can merge data from any source. But, given the choice, I’d take Word’s missing Address Book merge to Pages’ missing everything else.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 may be the best pick for business users, with major updates to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage. After a, Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 to brick-and-mortar and online stores on January 15, making this the first update in nearly four years. Office for Mac includes Word, Excel for spreadsheets, PowerPoint for presentations and Entourage for e-mail and time management.

I just want to clarify something, however. I am an English Language Arts teacher, I have worked 10 years in the newspaper industry using AP Style (production, layout, typesetting), and I am a graduate student that uses MLA in writing literary reviews/research. This is why I need the extra space after a carriage return removed. These jobs do not require extra space after a carriage return, in fact, they all require no space after a paragraph.

It's too bad that the easy-to-find metadata inspector and other touted security features for saving work in Office 2007 are absent. Plus, we'd like to see more integration among the applications.

The lack of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) support in Excel makes it impossible to use macros programmed in VBA. Microsoft's response is that adding VBA support in Xcode would have resulted in an additional two years added to the development cycle of Office 2008. Other unsupported features include: equations generated in Word 2007 for Windows, Office ',,, and an extensive list of features are unsupported such as equivalent integration with the Windows version. Some features are missing on Excel 2008 for Mac, including: data filters (Data Bars, Top 10, Color-based, Icon-based), structured references, Excel tables, Table styles, a sort feature allowing more than three columns at once and more than one filter on a sort. Benchmarks suggest that the original release of Office 2008 runs slower on Macs with PowerPC processors, and does not provide a significant speed bump for Macs with Intel processors. A data-compatibility problem has also been noted with 's chemical structure drawing program,. Word 2008 does not retain the structural information when a chemical structure is copied from ChemDraw and pasted into a document.

To restore your application to its original state, delete it from your hard disk, reinstall it from your original installation disk, and then install the updates that you want. • If you have trouble installing this update or using Office 2008 applications after you install this update, try the following: • Make sure that the Microsoft Office 2008 folder is located in the Applications folder on the startup volume. If it is at another location on your computer, move it to the Applications folder on your startup volume, and then try installing the update again.

Surprisingly, Word gets several major enhancements in Office 2008, the first version of Microsoft’s productivity suite to run natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs. Those changes include a new document format, a simplified toolbar, and a new toolbox that combines palettes for managing formatting, clip art, iPhoto images, research, and bibliographies. But the biggest improvement is the addition of a new view option called Publishing Layout. In this new view, arranging text and graphics on the page is far simpler than it was in previous versions of Word. Like Apple, Microsoft has apparently concluded that people use word processing programs for far more than just creating text-based documents.

[ ] Using Microsoft Office with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard solves some of the problems. In addition, there is no support for and languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) in Office 2008, making it impossible to read or edit a document in Word 2008 or PowerPoint 2008. Languages such as are similarly not supported, although installing fonts can sometimes allow documents written in these languages to be displayed. Moreover, Office 2008 proofing tools support only a limited number of languages (Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Swiss German). Proofing tools for other languages failed to find their way to the installation pack, and are not offered by Microsoft commercially in the form of separately sold language packs. At the same time, Office applications are not integrated with the proofing tools native to Mac OS X 10.6 Leopard.

Unfortunately, Word still doesn’t use the typical Mac toolbar customization sheet; Microsoft says those sheets couldn’t manage all the options Microsoft wanted to offer. Just below Word’s toolbar is the Elements Gallery, a set of five new buttons from which you can quickly add document elements, tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, and WordArt to documents. The Document Elements button, for example, lets you quickly add or modify cover pages, headers and footers, or a table of contents. Some users may find it annoying that they can’t remove this Gallery; I think more will be grateful for its presence. Elements Gallery: You can’t get rid of the toolbar that now appears at the top of every document, but it does give you quick access to all kinds of graphics and other document options.
