Office 08, teacher/stud ver_Mx user probs

[jk2445]

[CAVEAT: relatively new mac user, apol.]

Have installed [fine] Office 2008 fine. Here are my problems after install.

1. Trying to use it/set it up in another User's desktop, asked to make 'identity' but it won't accept that user's [husband, std acct] information. When I try to 'continue' with that user install, it does NOTHING. The button is blue [not gray] but clicking does nada, meaning I cannot use the apps.

2. I cannot figure out how to change the default font in Word.

3. Am having trouble finding some of the functions [for customizing toolbars] that I like up there.

Thank you for your help.

I don't know about problem 1, but:

2. I cannot figure out how to change the default font in Word.

Format | Font--set the font, and click Default down in lower left.

3. Am having trouble finding some of the functions [for customizing toolbars] that I like up there.

Yeah--see View | Customize Toolbars, and here's a tutorial if you need
it--it offers some tips on finding the right command.

If you still can't find them, ask here.

On the Mac, it is best to create a new System account for the other user.

Then when they start Entourage, it will prompt them for their Account
information.

To switch users, you log off, he logs in. When he starts any program, he
then gets his own resources, documents and settings.

You can use Fast User Switching to switch instantly, without having to log
off. Look it up in the Apple help.

It's really not a good idea to try to run multiple Entourage identities in
the same user login. You can do it, but it's just a bad idea ‹ nothing
works right

Cheers
