Ok well I know for a fact that NS is smarter than my schools IT department because they barely knew what a mac was. My school has office 07 for download and I need it so I downloaded it, but I cant get it to open. Ive installed it and everything but when I try to open word it just keeps sending me to the auto updater. I have all the updates installed so Im not sure why its sending me to this, this also happened when my bro tried to put office on my laptop a few months back. I think that something got messed up the first time and its affecting the current download. Also another thing that doesnt seem right to me is when I downloaded it it didnt come in as an application I dont believe. I think it came in as a device, because when I click on my harddrive it shows Mac HD and Microsoft Office, and that doesnt seem right to me but it may be. How can I get it to work? The IT just looked at me and said they dont know macs.. and that I should re-install.
 
Maybe things have changed since i bought my Macbookpro, but they only had Office 2004 available for macs. Are you sure you didn't try to install a PC version?
 
no its the mac version, they offer both pc and mac and I know this is the mac version
 
on a mac when you go to install something it always looks like a drive...and you click on that to install as you probably figured out. I know that they only have office 2004 and 2008 for mac so you should make sure its compatiable. I am not sure if 2004 is compatible with leopard or not...it may be for tiger who knows. make sure if you have installed once and are trying to reinstall that you unistall everything because it forgets to do that, and deleting the application just deletes that file not all the components of the program
 
Unless your running bootcamp or some other windows emulator the only mac versions of office are 2004 and 2008
 
ok, well they didnt have 2004, but they just got 2008 so Ill have to download that. So it will be a few days, because I have to go back to the it so they can open up the download for me, ( one download per student) so Ill get back to you guys..
