Hi Richard,
The Extended format (HFS+) has been known to cause some incompatibilites with installation and operation of certain software. While I know of no specific problems with HFS+ and MS Office, there could be one.
I tend to advise against using HFS+ until Mac OS 8.6 (also known as Mac OS X) is released. Many utilities don't support HFS+ yet. If you've already updated to the new extended format, however, as it sounds you have.. You may need to contact Microsoft for help with your software.. or simply move the installed files from a computer it does work on, to the all-in-one.
Thanks for using No Wonder!
