OFF98: Fonts Appear in the Trash After Installing Office 98Last reviewed: March 9, 1998Article ID: Q179684 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSAfter you install Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition on your computer, the following files may appear in the Trash:
Arial Times New Roman Wingdings Microsoft Office ManagerNOTE: Other fonts may also appear in the Trash. You are not notified during installation that the files are being moved to the Trash.
CAUSEMicrosoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition includes new versions of the Arial, Times New Roman, and Wingdings fonts, and new versions of some less commonly used fonts. If older versions of these fonts are found on the computer when you install Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition, the old fonts are moved to the Trash and are replaced by the new fonts. If you have Microsoft Office Manager from Microsoft Office 4.2 and you run the Office 98 Installer, a new copy of the Microsoft Office Manager is copied to your Control Panels folder. The old copy is moved to the Trash and you have to manually empty the Trash to get rid of it. The Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition installation program is not designed to remove the old files from the Trash after the installation process is completed. As a result, the old files appear in the Trash. This may lead you to believe that the fonts and Microsoft Office Manager are not available for use on your computer.
RESOLUTIONIf this behavior occurs, empty the Trash by clicking Empty Trash on the Special menu.
STATUSThis behavior is by design of the Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition installation program.
