How do I change the Product Key code and the User name of Microsoft Office
2008 once installed on Mac OSX 10.5.1?
Delete these two files:
~:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:Office 2008:Microsoft Office 2008
Settings.plist
where ~ is your home folder, and
HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2008:Office:OfficePID.plist

Hi. I'm a first time user to Mac so do bear with me. I found OfficePID.plist but not Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist (I went to the location you indicated). I tried to delete just OfficepID.plist, but when I started Word, it came back and the licensee name is still there (which I'm ok with, except that it also shows my password!).

So go back and have another look. Believe us, it's there somewhere :-) I
suspect you are confused by the meaning of the tilde character, which means
"Beginning from your home directory".
So mine is in MacHDD:Users:John:Library:Preferences:Microsoft:Office
2008:Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist
If you have not found both, here is no point in deleting either, since each
contains a backup of the other.
Cheers
