Mac OS X: a solution to the problem of MS office for Mac

Mac OS X: a solution to the problem of MS office for Mac

 

History:

June 13,200 9 Draft

June 13,200 added several key points among network users, such as 4, 5, 6, and 7. Several rhetorical changes.

 

Currently, Office for Mac runs on OS X 10.5.6 in a network environment and may Randomly Read-only when users open office documents, in this way, you can only save one new file. There are some such problems on the Internet, and there are also such problems in my network environment. As of the beginning of June, there seems to be no fundamental solution, both Microsoft's official mactopia.com forum and Apple's user support forum have similar problems, which are also unsolved.

 

Single-host user

For non-network users, the problem is relatively simple. The general solution is:

1. Check the read/write properties of the Office file. If there is any problem, reset it so that you have read and write permissions.

2. Delete the user's ~ /Library/preferences/COM. Microsoft. *. plist file.

3. There are still some things that are not involved, that is, the permission of the office to store caches. Its path is:/tmp/username/caches/temporaryitems /.

4. In addition, the disk permission is fixed.

5. reinstall the office.

 

 

Network user

According to previous experience, network user problems should be solved in the following aspects:

1. the com. Microsoft. *. plist file of the network user.

2. user permission attributes in the./temporaryitems directory in the user directory on the server.

3. It may also be related to the third point above.

4. it is the protocol used. It is said that using AFP between MAC server and client is the safest, but sometimes SMB is more convenient, such as the network environment bound to ad, the network protocol used is also a consideration.

5. The network quality may also be one of the reasons, because in my network environment, when problems occur, they all use the wireless MacBook, while the iMac on the wired machine has not encountered any problems.

6. operating system problems, because there are no problems in OS x 10.3.8 and OS X 10.4.9 and 10.4.11.

7. There are Office 2008 and 2004 and the operating system. In my environment, Office 2004 is used, whether it is leopard or tiger/panther, but I have not tried the hybrid environment of 2008 on leopard and 2004 on tiger/panther, this hybrid version may cause worse/chaotic situations for network users.

 

Today, let's take a look at it.
