The status of Leopard and Daylite

Client Question:

I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and I have Daylite 3.5.2 installed now DMI (Daylite Mail Integration) doesn't work. 

MacAngel Answer:

DMI and Leopard do not play nice together in that version. Although there is a current Leopard Beta available for Daylite I personally do not recommend running a production database on a beta version. A production database is any database you count on for running your business or your life.

In the mean time, remove ~Library/Mail/Bundles/DayLiteMailIntegration.mailbundle if Leopard has not done this for you already. Just hold all the emails you want to put into DayLite in a mailbox so when we are out of beta you can go back and add those to Daylite. That is the smartest move at this point in time.

Having said that, the beta I am using for Leopard Build 1439 is running very smoothly, syncing is very much improved and the new data detectors in Mail.app makes it a dream to capture data into Daylite when syncing is turned on.

How to open Microsoft 2007 files for Mac OS X

Client Question:

Do you know if there is a version of the Microsoft software for Macs that allows opening of the new .docx files (Windows 2007)?

MacAngel Answer:

The best option at the present time is to open it into Pages 3.0 which is part of iWork '08. You can get a trial version for 30 days here. If you don't have pages, TextEdit can open it. It is in your Applications folder. 

If you use Microsoft Office 2004 v11.3.4 or later you can use the converter offered by Microsoft until Microsoft Office 2008 becomes available in mid-January (maybe...)
