How can you re install office 2004 ?

[Axis]

Any ideas on how to uninstall Office 2008 and go back to Office 2004 until the proper synchronization patches are available

 

[John McGhie]

You don't need to uninstall, Simply re-install Office 2004, and re-apply
Service Pack 11.3.5 and then run its AutoUpdate from the Help menu to bring
it back up to date.

If you leave Office 2008 installed, it will attract its updates as they come
available.

If you have been using Entourage, you will need to Export your database,
using File>Export...

Then import it to Entourage 2004 after you get it updated.

Do not allow two versions of Entourage to run concurrently (they will crash
each other...)

Hope this helps

Re-installing Office 2004 after Office 2008 will overwrite the new fonts
installed by Office 2008.

If you want to download the individual updaters see this page:

Office 2008 Font Install:

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.
