Office Mac Scramble

I installed Office Mac, and ignored the warning to shut down other applications – after all it’s a Mac right, so what could go wrong?

Well – No right Turn took a turn for the worse:

and the astute observer will notice similar but less dramatic issues on the TVNZ article below.
I restarted Safari and everything seems fine now.

I do find that a vast majority of the issues I have with my Macs are caused by Microsoft Office or Windows, running in Parallels.  This was the main reason why I upgraded to the new Office Mac, which looks slick but still doesn’t use F2 to edit in a cell.

Office Mac 2008 also lacks VBA, so it’s goodbye to macros. (I’ll use Windows Office for complicated spreadsheets). Entertainingly there is still an option inside Excel to disable macros when loading, and it is set to “yes”.
