Uninstall Microsoft Office Tools - Fixit Fix it Solved

I had a computer in San Diego that had pretty messed up multiple versions of Office installed. Word, Excel, Outlook and Powerpoint all had problems as they wouldn't unistall or install. Microsoft has released some fixit utilites that worked great. For MCW purposes, I put them in our dropbox under Office\Uninstall Office Tools.

MYOB 2009 fails to work on Windows 8

Unfortunately, it's been discovered that MYOB's older versions don't run on Windows 8. MYOB installs OK and even connects to a client file, but the computer will display an error 1100 termination. Very frustrating! Hopefully MYOB will offer a patch. For now, the answer is to stick to Windows 7 or to upgrade to the latest version of MYOB. Not great solutions either way, sorry.

You can't change the language in Starter Edition Microsoft Office Word Excel

We stumbled across an OEM installer for Office Starter in Korean. This is how I found out that Starter is missing a good chunk of options that are in a paid version. You can change the proofreading language and the hover-over tool tip language but not the main language (menus, etc.) Hopefully this saves someone 20 minutes of clicking through menus on the computer. Still on the hunt for an English installer.
