Posted: 21 Jun 2009 01:14 PM PDT Hi Bob, According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294688 'The maximum number of data fields in an Excel worksheet is 256.' The OP is using an Excel worksheet (2007/8) as the datasource. It seems that getting beyond 255/256 fields will require exporting the data to a tab-delimited text file or a comma-delimited text file and using that as the data source. Even then, 'There is a limitation of 255 fields in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box'. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] 'Bob Greenblatt' <com> wrote in message news:C664DE53.BAD2B%com.. |

Posted: 19 Jun 2009 08:27 AM PDT Please see my comment under a similar issue at <http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Office/3772/2> I'm wondering if these missing receipts could be a generic problem. |
Posted: 18 Jun 2009 07:35 PM PDT Questions from the developer. Please give all the info he asks for. 1) Does the Installer is ³fails because the OS is being misread as pre 10.4.²? ( screen shot would be great) You'll have to go back to the installer to do this. 2) Press CMD+L (that will bring up the installer log). Then change the drop down to show everything. Copy that text out, and then mail it to me. dianeross at mvps dot org Or entouragehelp at gmail dot com -- Diane On 6/19/09 6:38 PM, in article caR9absDaxw, 'com' <com> wrote: |

Posted: 17 Jun 2009 06:09 PM PDT OK, you're going to have to be more exact about what you're attempting to do as well as more specific about the structure of your document content as well as what 'settings' you want to change. There's no such critter as a 'CONTINUOUS page break' -- there's a Page Break & there's a Continuous Section Break. Please understand that mixing the terms confuses the issue. There's also a Next Page Section Break, so the first suggestion is to make absolutely certain that you're selecting the right one for the intended purpose. Also, be sure you have the non-printing characters (¶) displayed in order to better determine what's inserted. If you're absolutely certain that you're using the correct feature & still having the same problem be certain to give the details requested above as well as state your exact update level of Office.

Posted: 17 Jun 2009 01:23 AM PDT A suggestion: Could the reason for crash be a stile name with the letter æ. In my work on recovering old styles I tried to make a style with the name Optælling, and on creating it Word crashed. Then I did the same but now with the name Optal and that worked. Maybe Word on Intel is more sensitive to „foreign' letters than Word on ppc? |

I hate to say it and it really isn't as bad as you might think, but an 'Archive & Install' would probably be what it's going to take to fix this. The last time I had to do an 'Archive & Install' the only thing I had to re-install was my Microsoft keyboard software. Archive and Install 1) Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon. 2) Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available). 3) Click Options. If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select ³Archive and Install,² and then select ³Preserve Users and Network Settings.² If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select ³Erase and Install.² You can¹t recover erased data. 4) Click Continue. 5) Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you¹d like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended). Once the install has finished, your system will be at whatever level the disk you have is. So if your Install DVD/CD disk is 10.5.0, that's what version of OS will be on your Mac. You will need to download the appropriate Combo Updater from Apple's site to restore the system to a higher version. After you run the combo, allow Software Update to download and install any additional updates. -- Diane |

Posted: 13 Jun 2009 09:18 PM PDT I did all of these things, and powerpoint still does not work. I even tried to make a presentation in powerpoint and save it, and that does not work. It spits out the same exact error message. Excel behaves in a congruent manner. This makes no sense. It's like the programs aren't connected to the computer's file system. There is literally no functionality at this point. |

The only remedy is to re-install Office from your CD and update. FWIW, this is not a MS specific problem. It can happen with any update process. Tip: I suggest zipping the Office folder prior to updating in case of problems. Easy to revert to previous install. -- Diane |
