Known issues for installation and removal of Office 2008
Last updated: July 2009
Dock icons are not installed during a remote installation
If you use Apple Remote Desktop to install Office 2008 on another computer on your network,
Dock icons are not installed.
Duplicate fonts are moved to the Fonts Disabled folder during installation
Fonts that are replaced by Office Installer are moved to either the /Library/Fonts Disabled folder or
the /Users/username/Library/Fonts Disabled folder so that you can save them or restore them, if it
is necessary.
Information in running applications might not be displayed correctly after
Office 2008 is installed
Office Installer makes changes to fonts, and if you have an earlier version of Office on your
computer, the Office Installer replaces old Office fonts with new fonts. If any running application is
using a font that is replaced by the Office Installer, that application could become unstable or
display information incorrectly.
If you encounter these issues, quit and then restart the application. If quitting and restarting the
application does not resolve the issue, restart the computer.
