I'm running a copy of microsoft office on the iMac I just bought and I've noticed it still carries the old owners name when saving files. Is this easily changed?

I installed a demo of Microsoft Office 2010 before I realized that the Apple iWorks suite gives me everything I need, between Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Now I want to remove Microsoft Office from my Mac OS X system, but there's no "uninstaller". Um, how do I completely, cleanly remove Office?

I have been trying to make the switch from Microsoft Office to Apple iWorks and it's been going well but I just hit a problem in Pages that I can't figure out. Is there any way to sort text in a Pages document? I can't figure it out...

I'm so darn frustrated! Every time I try to open up a Microsoft Office document in Apple Pages, Apple Keynote or Apple Numbers, I get a warning message about fonts Calibri and Cambria being unavailable. Every time. Yet the documents aren't using the typeface anyway. What gives and, more importantly, how can I fix it so I don't see the $#@$# missing font errors?

How do I make a copy of a form or a document from Gmail email and then complete the form using the computer? I have tried and have achieved the level of "No Luck". So I wind up printing the form and completing the form manually. Then I scan it and send it to whomever. There has to be an easier way. I thought maybe using HTML might be the answer, but I can't seem to find out how to use it instead of the standard language of Gmail.

I've become a fan of Web-based office tools and am just about ready to jettison the old battleship of Microsoft Office in favor of Google Docs. Since I have been reading about how the next version of Office includes online document sharing, I am curious to try this feature with Google Docs - in particular a project spreadsheet with my colleagues - and am wondering if you can give me some tips on how to share my Google Docs spreadsheet easily?

Digging my Apple iPad, but while some of the documents I work with are written in Apple's Pages application, many more of the docs I get are from Microsoft Word, with the ".doc" filename suffix. Is there any way to view - and hopefully even -- edit them on my iPad?

I have switched from Microsoft Office on my Mac OS X system to Apple's iWorks package, which works great except every so often someone complains that my files are in .pages format, not .doc, which is what they want to see. I can't see how to save a file in Pages as an MS Word doc file, but I know it can be done. Help?

How can I print a document "sideways" in Microsoft Word (or print a Web page in Internet Explorer sideways, for that matter), so that the words run lengthwise down the length of the paper, rather than running from side to side parallel with the shorter sides of the paper?

I lost my product key for Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7. I need the product key to re-install Windows. How do I find it?

Ever get a .doc (Microsoft Word) file as an email attachment on your Mac, only to find that you can't seem to open it or do anything to view the contents of the file?

My colleagues at the university send me PowerPoint presentations all the time, these pesky ".ppt" files, but since I don't have PowerPoint on my computer, I can never open them. Surely there's some sort of solution that doesn't involve me paying hundreds of dollars?

I don't know what's changed, but in the past, when I wanted to see revisions and changes to a document in Microsoft Word on my Mac it showed me what was inserted and deleted. Now, however, it has zillions of little balloons on the side of the document. What the heck? How do I change Microsoft Word so revision tracking shows up the way I prefer?

I've been using Microsoft Entourage as an email client on my Mac system for a few years now and suddenly find myself needing to add a second account. Since there's no setup wizard to do it, I'm a bit stymied. Can you help?

As part of migrating from an older iMac to my new Macbook Pro (which I love) I went through and axed a ton of unwanted email from Microsoft Entourage. I know that I can copy my mail archive, address book, etc, by moving the contents of Documents:Microsoft User Data:Office 2008 Identities, but my question is whether there's any way to compact, compress or rebuild my archive before I do so?

I'l like to be able to download messages in Entourage manually. Instead, every time I launch Entourage (Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac) all the messages are downloaded automatically. Things is, I want to do it manually.

I am going to be selling my 15" Aluminum Powerbook G4 soon. I would like to sell it with some of the programs included (Office and Adobe CS2 - I figure I should make a few extra bucks including them) but without exposing any personal information. What's the best way to do a thorough cleaning of my Mac without actually losing everything. Additionally, will I be able to use these programs if I reinstall them on a new mac? What's the easiest way to just do a clean sweep of a mac and reinstall applications that I have now - do I need the original software CD/DVDs? Other suggestions?

I'm using Powerpoint 2007. WHY CAN'T I CHANGE ONE SLIDE COLOR BACKGROUND WITHOUT IT CHANGING ALL THE REST??? Sorry, I'm just a little frustrated. I've looked online at everyone's comments, done the tutorials online and no one is commenting on 2007. If you right click to change background colors the ONLY option is Apply to All. Am I missing something. Please help!!!

I keep getting errors about not being able to establish a secure connection with my mail server in Entourage because of a bad root certificate. My ISP has sent me the necessary "trusted root certificate" file, but I have no idea how to install it. Help!

I use Microsoft Word on my Mac every day, and every time I create a new document I change the default typeface from Times 12 point to Papyrus 13 point. Surely there's some way to change the default typeface in a new document and save me this hassle?

Every so often I get an email attachment and double-click it to open it up on my Mac. It opens up fine, I make edits and save the document, but then when I quit Word I can't find the $#@$# document on my system. What's going on and where are the documents I've edited?

I have two computers in my office and unfortunately installed both copies of Microsoft Word using the same serial number. I never thought it'd be a problem, but am constantly finding that when I leave Entourage running on one of them, I can't run Microsoft Word on the other. How the heck can I get Office to ask me for a different serial number so I can fix it?
