OFF98: Icons for Earlier Programs Appear When You Use Office 98 (183442)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q183442 SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition, the icons for the
Office programs are the same as the icons for earlier versions of Office
programs.
NOTE: This behavior does not affect the functionality of the Office 98
programs.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the program files for an earlier version of
Office have a newer installation date than the creation date of the Office
98 program files.
MORE INFORMATION
The creation date of the Office 98 program files always uses the same date
as the files on the Office 98 compact disc (CD). However, earlier versions
of Office use the date of installation as the creation date for the program
files.
Reinstalling Office 98 does not restore the icons because the creation date
of the Office 98 program files does not change.
