buy office 2004..?

That is not such a smart move for some people.  It is more complicated
than the earlier versions.

There are possibly 2 problems shown below :

Word 98 will be using Classic printing which is different Printer access
to OSX printing.
Can be a real can of worms !

Excel :
Should not start up unless you have Classic preferences set to
Start Classic on boot up.
and then should not start up unless you call for a relevant file to open.

Reinstalling Office will not necessarily remove your old preferences .

I assume Tiger is like Panther , in that you have on the Hard Drive a "System Folder "
With Classic inactive
Go into that , find Preferences , look for excel preferences and trash them.

restart classic and see what you have

Dear wamuggers

Since upgrading to Tiger I have two problems with Office 98 in Classic:
- Excel 98 insists on starting up each time I boot the computer (It is not listed in OS9 start up items).
- Word 98 freezes every time I print and has to be 'force quitted'.

I have tried reinstalling Office 98 from scratch and running all updaters available on the Microsoft site.

I am now up to OS X 10.4.2 and both problems still exist.

Anybody have any thoughts?
