Newly installed Office'08,only on admin. account, not on the others..??

[Robin_J]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Hi,
I just got the new imac desktop, switched over from a PC, everything is new to me...
I installed Office 2008 while in my administrators account, all went fine, as it loaded and added all it's icons on the dock.
Then I set up individual accounts for the rest of my family, but the Office'08 icons did not show/load into their docks, so i assume they have no access to it's programs.
Is there a work around to get Office onto these other accounts or am I going to have to uninstall/reinstall?
Thanks, RJ

Office *is* available for any other accounts on that Mac, but they're
not automatically added to the every user's Dock.
Maybe, coming from Windows, someone should have mentioned that Dock = !
Start Menu...

You can find the applications you seek in /Applications/Microsoft
Office 2008. Simply drag and drop them into the Dock for each account.

There are ways to make this happen for every account on the computer,
btw, but that's probably beyond the scope of what you need?

All the best,

You simply need to drag the application icon from the Office folder to the
dock when in that User. The installer cannot do anything in another User
when run. By installing in the root application folder, Office applications
are available for all users.

Drag an icon to the dock makes it stay there

If you open an application, it will show in the dock but will disappear when
you quit unless you click and hold on the icon and select to "Keep in Dock"
