#Repair office 2008 for mac for mac#
Before you remove Office for Mac 2011, quit all Office applications and make sure there's nothing in Trash that you want to keep. I have tried to repair the disk permissions on my iMac using the disk utility. Once you've removed everything, empty the Trash and restart your Mac to complete the process.
Option #1: Set in preferences (less useful, bit fiddly, but quick for a one off) To uninstall Office for Mac 2011 move the applications to the Trash. Just as an fyi, for Microsoft Word 2011 on a Mac, to use Overtype you have the same two options you had on Office 2008. Open your Application area on a Mac computer, navigate to the Microsoft Office 2008 folder and open Document Connection.

Note: you have to upgrade to Service Pack 1 prior to upgrading to Service Pack 2. The repair options dialog box will appear, there are Quick Repair and Online Repair.
If the User Account Control question comes out, select Yes. Note the several menus that appear above the program list box, click the Change menu. Then look for Microsoft Office installed on the computer and click once. I rarely use Overtype but occasionally it's invaluable for completing basically assembled forms in word where form authors have relied (a little annoyingly, albeit well intended) on the use of underscores to block out a fillable area. As I mentioned about version edition earlier, you have to make sure that your Office 2008 for Mac is upgraded to Service Pack 2 (version 12.2.0). Then click the Programs and Features menu. I searched and searched online and couldn't find info because the word - overtype - was not in my personal vocabulary, so I didn't search for it. If you click the OVR word, its circle will turn green and you will write over text until you again click the OVR box. On the far right, there are four abbreviated words: REC TRK EXT OVR, each with a small circle to their left. Nothing is listed on any of the menus, or when I searched the help field (that's because the Mac calls it "overtype," which I didn't know at the time).Īt the very bottom of the document's screen, there are some bits of information (page, section, total number of pages, etc.). So I was typing along in Microsoft Word on a Mac, when all of a sudden I was writing over all of the text - as if I had pressed the Insert key on a PC.
