Topic starter
 

Hi got my new macbook and I have purchased office Mac 2008 disk for word and excel etc. I have installed it on my main user account, I have my gf who has another user account on the computer, the office has not appeared on hers.
Can I share it, via my account, or do I need to up load it agin, just do not want to have it taking up two lots of space on my hard disk.

any answers much appreciated.

Thanks

Reg

do you mean the office icons are not on the dock or you cant find it in your applications folder when in your gf's account?

odd - i have the same as you and all users can access office

is it just that they can't see them in their dock? They might need to go into Finder, look at "Applications" and open the office apps/ drag them down into the dock

In older versions the installer had an option to make it available to all users or just you. I think all was the default IIRC. Icons definitely not in /Applications?

stick it in;

HD>users>shared

She should be able to use it on her side then. Works for us. Or even just in the HD.
