WORD 2008 FOR MAC WILL NOT OPEN. please help !!! bdgeiger 12/12/2008 8:11:00 PM I go to click on Microsoft Word ON MY MAC. A window pops up saying, "microsoft office setup assistant." it asks me first to either take a survey or not. i've clicked on both. after you do that it takes you to a screen that says "get started with microsoft 2008.", asking me to either learn more or register. i have registered my product. I then click finish. a window pops up asking me when and how i want to update my software. i click manually and click check. I download all things missing. I click out of the update window, and click into word again. THE SAME BOX SAYING "MICROSOFT OFFICE SETUP ASSISTANT" COMES UP! please teach me how to get this to go away! thanks!!!
