Well, I finally got Office for the Mac OSX...
launch any of the apps (Excel, Word, Powerpoint) and they quit immediately. Not Entourage though. The Aqua interface is beautiful. Very nice job by MS.
Here's the fix if you run into the same thing. You have to rename the Fonts folder in the System 9 system folder to Old Fonts. If you have OSX you'll understand this madness. And you have to dump the Roxio Toast X file (if you have the beta of their new OSX version) of the Quicktime CD file in your Library folder.
Works great. Except now when you want to work on any Adobe or Quark app, you have to go back in and rename it back to Fonts.
What a pain.
I can't wait til they come out with all the Adobe stuff we use that will work with OSX.
That's it from here. Back to you Monica.

Instead of renaming the whole Fonts folder,
try doing a Sherlock search for any System 9 font older than 1999. (You can do this via the Custom radio button). Find those files and drag them to a new folder you name Fonts (Disabled).
Next, find any Adobe/PostScript fonts in the System 9 Fonts folder and drag them to Fonts (Disabled).
That's all I had to do.

No, but
What I'd recommend you do is give a Finder Label to each of the Fonts in the disabled folder. If you ever need to boot into 9, you can drag 'em into the Fonts folder w/o need for restart. Then, when you're done, just list by Label, and drag 'em back to the disabled folder.
If you're using Conflict Catcher, it can automate this for you.
BTW, MS states on their webpage that all OS 9 fonts get loaded by 10 <I>whether Classic is running or not</I> at bootup and that having these older fonts in your system is bad news, anyway.

Don't give MS ANY credit for the aqua interface, please...
It's all Apple's.
If you want to say the apps run smoothly and you like the features, go ahead and credit MS, but please don't credit them for the interface...

Bill! I was kidding! I understand Apple all too well. I go waaaay back with them. Way back.
There are 6 Macs in my house right now and 4 collecting dust. Believe me, I know the culture and who started what.
