Went on line to microsoft and, according to their web-site, if I bought student teacher addition, I must pay for support. Please advise where I can access the support you are talking about.
I think you're reading the site wrong. After you choose your version of Office, it asks whether your version came pre-installed on your computer. If you select no (which I assume you did), then it takes you to a page with two columns on it (one for email support, one for phone support). Right there under "email support" and again under "phone support", it tells you that you get 2 no-charge support requests. So you can either click the "start email request" button, or you can call the toll-free number that's displayed there. You'll need your PID, which you can get in any Office app by going into its About box.
In regards to saving files- Under finder there is a left sided menu which says devices, places, search for. To the right is a list of all the rest of the files. When I try to save as, in word 2008, I only have access to the choices on the left part of the finder screen (and the one file word 08 allows me to designate as my default folder.)
This is the standard Finder dialog that lets you choose where to save it. If it's not already at the folder that you want, you can navigate there in one of two ways:
1. On the left side (where it says "places" and so on), click the folder where you want to save. For example, under "places", your "documents" folder is probably listed. If you click on that, then you'll be able to save it in there, or you can save it in any subfolder that's already there. If you want to create a new subfolder in that folder, you can click on the "new folder" button at the bottom of that Save window.
2. At the top-ish of the screen, under the "save as" area and above the folder area, there's a drop-down menu in the middle that has a list of the folders where you have recently saved documents. Select that list and see if your folder is there.
You might want to schedule some time with the Geniuses at your friendly local Apple Store. They can walk you through some of the basics of how to interact with the operating system, such as how to save your files anywhere you want.
In re: using entourage. Can I use the apple address book to sync with entourage, or am I stuck using only entourage? If I use entourage, doesn't that cripple my ability to integrate my address book with other apple applications?
No, it does not. Entourage can work with your Address Book in the same manner as all other applications. So you can continue to use your Address Book the same as you are now, all you need to do is tell Entourage that you want it to use your Address Book too.
Also, Office 2008 can not open up word perfect documents or documents that contain macros, received from other parties. NeoOffice does not seem to have this problem.
As we've covered extensively in this thread, you're correct, macros are not a part of Office 2008. Office 2008 can open documents that have macros in them, but cannot run the macros. When you try to open a document that has a macro, you get an alert telling you that Office can't run the macro, and asking what you want to do with it. You can keep the macro there, in which case you'll be able to edit the document but not do anything with the macro. Alternately, you can ask Office 2008 to remove the macro from the file.
In re: corrupted files, these are documents created in Word 03 for windows. There is no error message, only garbled documents. Once again, it is not a font problem.
Could you send me one of these files? PM me for my email address.
