upgrading to leopard: office not working

[rossney.michael]

Hi,

I have been happily using office 2004 on my macbook for the last year.
I upgraded to leopard on Friday and office is not working. Can anyone
help me to get them working? I rang applecare who basically blamed
microsoft! not very helpful!

Hi Michael:

Hmmm... If the rest of the applications on your Macbook are working, I am
inclined to agree that the problem is with the Microsoft software.

We need to remember that Office 2003 was designed for OS X version 3, not OS
X version 5, and there may be some issues

Try this one:

If it doesn't bring it right, try this:

Hope this helps

Michael,

I did a clean install of Office 2004 (then updated it 11.3.5 -thru- 11.3.8)
and it's working perfectly. I'd suggest that that's your "nuclear" option if
all else fails.
