Well... I bought an iMac, and installed MSOffice.
Now I created another user account and I can´t see the Office apps on this new account.
I searched on some forums and found that I should have installed the application on a common folder, and I probably did not... (will check it at home soon).
The question is: If the application is on a particular user folder, can I just move it to a common folder, or will I have to uninstall and reinstall it on this common folder?
Regards,
JH

Install your apps in the Applications folder so everyone can use it. With Office, I believe you're going to have to uninstall it, then reinstall. The Office install futzes with system files, so I don't think simply moving the app to the Applications folder in Finder is wise.

Make sure all your apps are inside the Applications folder and never anywhere else. If you don't you're inviting a host of problems down the line. Uninstall Office, as L. has said, unless you know precisely where Microsoft has put precisely what. |
