You can have both Office 2004 and Office 2008 installed at the same time. You can run all applications at the same time except for Entourage.The other caveat is that when you double click a file the 2008 version of the app will run. To run the 2004 version, simply open it and then use the file menu to open a file. For some reason Get Info cannot revert to the 04 version. If you have removed Office 2004 and want to reinstall be aware of font issues. I suggest removing all. Installing Office 2004, restart, update. Install Office 2008, restart, update. Then your fonts will be in order. Office 2004 can use the Office 2008 fonts without a problem. You will need both versions of the AutoUpdater. One is VISE, the 08 is packages. Office 2008 Font Install Basics: Office 2008 uses a different method for fonts and many fonts are new versions. Office 2008 will install fonts to the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft folder. By being at the root, then all users on the machine have access to them and you don't get Office 2008 putting multiple copies on the machine for each user. The installer will scour /Library/Fonts/ and ~/Library/Fonts/ for fonts with the same name and move them to /Library/Disabled Fonts/ or ~/Library/Disabled Fonts/ depending on where they were found. Note some of the Microsoft fonts are newer than the Apple fonts. -- Diane -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
