Aug 31, AM in response to Dailey76 In response to Dailey76 Prior to installing a new OS, I always make sure all my applications are updated to the latest version and then back up my system just in case the new OS causes problems so you can revert to a previous install.

Office had all the latest updates prior to installing Snow Leopard upgraded from Back up your system, then install Snow Leopard. If you can't revert back to Leopard, you may have to perform a clean install of Leopard and install Office , then run all the software updates, then back up your system and re-install Snow Leopard.

Time Machine back-up not an option and I don't really want to reinstall Leopard etc if I can help it. Would I be able to copy Office from my Macbook, which is up to date, across to my iMac?

But I didn't need to install Office , as in the process of installing I selected copying over everything from my last Mac - and voila Office was installed on the new machine. Have had no problems with it. Another friend of mine did exactly the same thing - so it's replicable.

Aug 31, AM in response to Dailey76 In response to Dailey76 Are you talking only with AutoUpdate or did you also try to download the installers and run them stand-alone? Will Office remain on my MacBook even if I migrate it? I was surprised, but it just copied the whole thing over. As I've got valid licences for the two machines I just left them on both even though I never actually had to enter the licence key number on the second machine.

I did all the Office file transfers you suggested from my Backup disc and I thought your suggestions were going to work I was elated because even the Office Gallery pane was also displayed. I got the dreaded "Unexpectedly Quit" message. This message occurred in the same way for each of three files Word, Excel, PP before I could click on them. I thank you for your suggestions, and because I'm so close to getting these Office files to work again, I wonder what to do next.

Are there any clues I should look for in that Unexpectedly Quit message that I should do next? Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads software updates are generally smaller than delta updates.

The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
