System requirements and installation

To run Microsoft Office 2004, your computer must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Processor: Mac OS X-compatible processor that is a model G3 or higher.
  • Operating System: Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or later.
  • Memory: 256 MB of RAM.
  • Hard Disk*: 570 MB of available hard-disk space for installing Office by using the Office Setup Assistant (recommended); 610 MB for installing Office by dragging the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk.
  • Drives: CD-ROM drive.
  • Display: Monitor that can display 1024 x 768 or higher resolution displaying thousands of colors.
  • The hard disk should be in Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format, the default format for Mac OS X. Although you can use drag-and-drop installation to install Office 2004 on a hard disk that is in another format, Microsoft does not currently support such a configuration. To determine the format of your hard disk, on the Apple menu, click About This Mac, and then click More Info.


To use all of the features available in Office 2004, we recommend that you have the following additional items and services:

  • Modem: 14.4 Kbps or faster.
  • Internet Access: Internet access (for Microsoft Entourage and certain features in other Office programs). Internet access might require you to pay a separate fee to a service provider; local and/or long-distance telephone charges might apply.

Upgrading to Microsoft Office 2004

Upgrade eligibility



You can upgrade to Microsoft Office 2004 if you are a licensed user of any of the following Microsoft products:

  • Office 98
  • Office 2001
  • Office v. X (all editions)
  • Word + Entourage 2001, Special Edition
  • Word 98
  • Word 2001
  • Word X
  • Word 2004
  • Excel 98
  • Excel 2001
  • Excel X
  • Excel 2004
  • PowerPoint 98
  • PowerPoint 2001
  • PowerPoint X
  • PowerPoint 2004

Unless you are a licensed user of any of the preceding products, you must purchase and install the full version of Office 2004 to use it.

Upgrading to Microsoft Office 2004



To upgrade to Microsoft Office 2004, follow the instructions in section 3 of this Read Me, Installing Microsoft Office 2004. During installation, the Office Setup Assistant might prompt you to select the location of the folder that contains an upgrade-eligible product (the Microsoft Office X folder, for example) if it cannot find it automatically. If the folder is not currently on your hard disk, you will be prompted on first launch of Office 2004 to locate it. If the upgrade-eligible product is on the original installation CD-ROM of that product, insert the CD into the computer and select the CD-ROM location when prompted.

Importing contact information to Microsoft Office 2004



If you previously used Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0, Microsoft Entourage 2001, or Microsoft Entourage X, and you have identity data on your computer, you can import one of these identities for use in Entourage 2004 during step 3 of the Office Setup Assistant.

An identity stores a person's preferences, account settings, Address Book and Calendar information, schedules, tasks, messages, and more. You can choose to import a previous identity or create a new identity. After you install Office 2004, you can then choose to import additional identities by using Entourage 2004.

If you are not importing an identity from a previous version of Entourage or Outlook Express for Macintosh, create a new identity, which will be used throughout the Office 2004 programs. You must enter at least your first and last name. This information is not sent to Microsoft.

If you do not import identity information from your previous Office product during step 3, you can import it after you install Office 2004. To do so, open Entourage, click Import on the File menu, and then follow the instructions in the Import Assistant.

Installing Microsoft Office 2004

Important Before you install the full version of Office 2004, if you have the Office v. X Test Drive or the Office 2004 Test Drive installed on your computer, you must first remove the Microsoft Office X or Microsoft Office 2004 folder that was installed with the Test Drive. To do so, run the Remove Test Drive application to remove the Office v. X Test Drive or the Remove Office application to remove the Office 2004 Test Drive.

You can install either all Microsoft Office 2004 components at once or only those components that you select. The Office Setup Assistant guides you through installing Office in six easy steps.

Notes

  • Before you install Office 2004, turn off your virus-protection software because it might interfere with installation, and quit any programs that are running. Also, switch to Mac OS X if you are currently running the Classic environment (Mac OS 9). To quit the Classic environment, on the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Classic. On the Start/Stop tab, click Stop.
  • Make sure that your Mac OS X user account has administrator privileges. (You must know both the user name and password for this account.) To check your user account for administrator privileges, on the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Accounts. User accounts with administrator privileges have the word "Admin" beside them. For more information about Admin accounts, see Mac Help.

Install Office

  • To start the Setup Assistant, insert the Microsoft Office 2004 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
  • On the desktop, double-click the Microsoft Office 2004 icon.
  • When the setup window appears, double-click the Office Setup Assistant icon.
  • Follow steps 1 through 4 in the Office Setup Assistant. Be sure to read the instructions on each screen carefully.

When you see the Authenticate window, enter an administrator user name and password. If the Setup Assistant becomes idle during any point in the setup process, you might be prompted for the user name and password again.

  • In step 5 of the Setup Assistant (Installation), under Select the installation location, on the pop-up menu, click the location you want.
  • Under Select the type of installation you want, click the type of installation you want. Most people will want the Recommended (default) installation. To install only certain components, click Custom, and then select the check boxes for the components you want.


Note Clearing the check box next to a component in the Setup Assistant does not remove the component if you previously installed Office 2004.

  • Click Install.
