Thanks Peter. I had not seen the Microsoft Office messages on close until recently. I think I noticed it when I clean upgraded to Tiger, which deleted my previous rules. Perhaps I had previously created rules that suppressed the messages, but I don't remember doing so. I also updated to "Office 2004 for Student" about the same time I did a Tiger install, I can't remember exactly.
My copies are legal so that should not be an issue. At any rate, I fixed the Office messages problem by following Michael's recommendation to create rules that block the TCP protocol for the server.
Regarding your network printer messages, I'm not sure. I've never encountered anything like that. I'm assuming this is a LittleSnitch message?
No, Word generates it. See Claude's message!

FWIW: I'm running 2 legal copies of OfficeX on an iMac and a PM over an Asante network. On the iMac when I quit it gives me a quick "connecting to printer" message. It's fast, so I'm not positive of the text. On the PM I never have seen this, but may be just because it's faster. I rarely use Little Snitch as I'm still running the demo version (Sorry! Just haven't gotten to it yet) and seldom reboot.
I've always been puzzled by the message as I don't use a network printer, but print through the PM USB.
Hmmm, just ran little switch, then quit Word on the iMac and no message at all, nor complaint from LS. Strange.
