Hello,
I am new to MAC OS X. I have OS X 1.1 and Office v.X
There are two accounts on the machine. One has icons to Office on the
desktop and can launch it, the other cannot.
What can I do to make sure ALL account on the machine have access to
it?
This is happening with other software as well (msn messenger, etc.)
Is it something I missed in the installation of Office?
Take a look inside the 'Applications' folder in the machine that cannot
launch Office right now. Is there a 'Microsoft Office' folder containing the
office applications? If so, you can launch the apps by double-clicking
there.
Alternatively, hold down command and option keys (depending on your
keyboard, these may be labelled with the 'apple' symbol and 'alt'
respectively) and drag the word/excel/etc icons to the desktop where an
alias will be formed just like in the other user's login.
Perhaps better still would be to drag the icons to the dock, where they will
become permanent residents.
If there is no office folder in applications, this is because the previous
user installed office in a local (to them) folder instead of in the system
wide Applications folder. Log in as that user and try to drag the entire
"Microsoft Office" folder form wherever they have put it to the Applications
folder. You may get a warning about 'not enough privileges, in which case
the best thing to do would be do delete the existing folder and re-install
from the CD (the default install will make office available to all users on
your computer).
