Solutions for Office 2008 SP1 installation problems

by on May 19, 2008 in Uncategorized

Sadly the Service Pack 1 for Office 2008 brings a lot of installation problems. I myself suffered from the “Office Setup Assistant opens when I try to open an Office 2008 application” problem, and was going nuts for hours. But apparently there are more problems to be solved…

Despite the bad news that Office 2008 SP1 received, I do have to say that Office 2008 in general is a very good application and Entourage itself a very good eMail client. Anyhow, over at the Entourage Help Blog we can find solutions for the all the Installation errors so far.

Office 2008 on syncing Entourage and cleaning up duplicated events

by on January 26, 2008 in Apple

Entourage 2008 allows you to turn on syncing. With this feature your contacts, calendar events and notes will sync with the same repository used by the System Address Book, iCal, and then iSync, iTunes and .Mac syncing.

The problem with this, very useful feature, is that it does not work correctly and in most of the times generates duplicates of your address book. I mean there are not only copies of your address entries, but there will be a couple of duplicates. Some reported that their address book, consisting of 400 addresses, grew to 30000 entries!

In this case, the best is to disable this functionality for now until the Mac Unit of Microsoft brings us a fix. For those with duplicates you can find a solution right here.

(reposting a post from Cortig.net) Jolly Roger posted a very useful script on microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage. The script finds and deletes duplicated events in the calendar (not discriminating what calendar they are from). The script is written for Entourage in English and you can find it on his site. You can install this script in your Entourage Script folder.
