Help running office 2008 on vmware fusion

[bostic220]

I was wondering if anyone knows how I can run Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac on Windows through VMWare Fusion. Thanks

Er ... what?

Office for Mac runs on the Mac. If you have Fusion, you have a Mac so you don't need to run it on Windows.

But I like office better on windows so I figured I could run it through Fusion

It's simple you buy that and a copy of windows and then it will partition your harddrive and you install windows on that partion then you just install applications on windows like you normally would.

What plinden is intimating is that Office 2008 is a Mac product. There is no Office 2008 for Windows. Office 2007 is the latest Windows release. If you want to know how to run it through VMWare...erm...

1) Install VMWare

2) Install Windows in the VM environment.

3) Boot Windows in VMWare

4) Put in the Office 2007 disc

5) Run the setup program.

6) Follow the prompts.

Where are you having trouble, exactly?
