Office in 1 computer, but 2 user/profiles

[Ainur75]

I bought a "regular" MS Office for Mac (Student and Teacher Edition)
and installed it without problems. However, it only shows up on my
primary (admin) account, but not on the guest account, even though I
have all MS Office programs enabled in the System Preferences so that
the guest account can use it.

This is not a multi-user office or anything that requires a multi-user
license; the guest account is mostly for family/friends when they are
visiting and need to use Office... I'm sure there is a way to fix
this??

Thanks,
Erick.

When you are saying Guest account are you saying you created a new User in
System Preferences?

When you installed Office did you install in the root application's folder
or in your User's folder? Application that are installed in the root
application's folder are available for all Users. Applications installed in
a User's folder are only available for that user.

Yes, it's a new user I created (called 'guest' in this case).

I think I installed Office under the main directory, but I'm not sure.
Would it help to re-install it??

Thanks,

You can just drag it over.

Thanks for the help Diane,

I actually do have Office installed on the main Applications folder
(not on the user's folder).

I am using the "Limited viewer" for the "guest" user account. I
clicked on the office programs (word, excel, powerpoint) so that the
guest should be able to access them (it works with all the other
programs!). I've even tried manually putting aliases in the viewer and
it doesn't work.

Any ideas??
Thanks,
Erick.

I'm not familiar with "Limited viewer", but just having a Guest User account
should cover any issues you might have without further limits. Just be sure
to not check "allow user to administer this computer"
