Very odd message from Microsoft when I open Office 2004 for Mac

[Aniej]

I uninstalled office the other day and reinstalled it today. Since then everything is running fine and all my files are there, but I keep getting a very odd message and don't know what it means and would love to get rid of it. Any thoughts?

Try this.

great find, this is just want I needed. I think micorsoft is so odd and it seems like they actively put roadblocks in the way of a user rather than removing them. I just don't get it.

My question. How did you get the lines and margin on the page?

Hi,
I got the same thing. Download the latest updates, that should fix it.

That's a "Word Notebook," available in the Project Gallery in the Blank Documents category.

it's the notebook view. very efficient for taking lecture notes. you can even record voices and draw free forms - i especially like the voice recording part cause it aligns with the notes so i can seek whatever part i want easily.

I get that message everytime I start a microsoft office app.. I just press ok and then use the app anyway... I just figured that it was microsofts way of bringing me annoyance!

edit: do you have to enter the serial again after updating? cause I think my copy at my mother's house...

It's an error that's caused by file corruption... it's hardly unique to Microsoft...give them a break. Hey, if I'm defending them.... Pick on them when they deserve it. I.E. Zune. MSIE. Steve Ballmer. The Office team is like a shining star in the night compared to most of Microsoft.

Hi,
I wasn't asked to re-enter the serial number after updating.
