Hi everyone,
It's been ages since I've posted here, but I've been a Mac user for over a year now and can safely say I'll never go back to a Windows-only system, although I do use XP for work and gaming thanks to Boot Camp.
When I got my computer, I tried the included trial of iWork '06 and hated it. It butchered the documents I tried to import, so I quickly picked up Office '04 on eBay and had been using it until recently. When iWork '08 came out, I tried it and was instantly impressed by the improvement and decided to switch because of the speed increase and lower cost.
I uninstalled Office using the "Remove Office" app provided, and changed the default app for Office documents to their iWork equivalents. However, I just get generic document icons displaying in the Finder now, without the Pages, Numbers and Keynote icons superimposed on the document icons themselves.
Is there some elusive preference file somewhere that's still pointing to the now nonexistent Office app icons? How do I get the right icons to display?
Thanks for any help.
Luke
