Excel 2011 not opening on the same screen I am on

When using Excel and Word 2011 I noticed when I have excel spreadsheets or word documents already open, opening a new one or closing one will move me to a screen with an open word or excel file when I have the option to move to a window with an open file for the application. I have mutiple desktops through mission control, and I like to use each space for whatever project I am working on. Having Office programs swap the screen for me is mildly frustrating as I wnat to open whatever document or create a new document in whichever screen I am using at the time.
It appears to be an Office 2011 issue as only programs from Office exhibit this behavior. (So far that I have seen)

Anyone experiancing this issue? To clarify, opening and closing excel and word files are moving me to screens where I have other excel or word files open when using mission control. I all mission control boxes unchecked in system preferences and I don't see anything in the excel preferences that could be overriding it.

  • I have just updated to the new version of Firefox. Eventhough, i have reboated my computor, Firfox prompts to do it again and again and would not open. The same things happen if i try to unistall it or redownload it. What can I do?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • My mac pro will not open to the menu screen. It stops at the apple.

    My Mac Pro 13" will not open to the menu. It stops at the apple. Is this the hard drive  or a soft ware issue?

    Thanks of responding Kappy. When I push the on button, the computer will advance to the first gray screen with the apple in the middle, but goes no further. I'm not technical so not sure what diagnostics to perform. A friend told me that my hard drive may be bad or that I need to repartition my disc. He also mentioned that either way I would loose all of my data. This started  last week with the pinwheel of death appearing often during the day.

  • Camera will not open on the lock screen

    I have an iphone 4 and updated it yesterday with the new update. The overview page says the camera opens on the lock screen but when I tap the camera icon it does nothing. Any one have any suggestions?

    Thanks gdgmacguy.... Any tips on iTunes finding my iPhone after the new update....

  • TS4006 The camera shutter will not open and the camera screen is black front and rear ipod 4, tried force quit and reset, help?

    The camera shutter will not open sometime and the camera screen is black. It seems to open as if were switching to the rear but that also appears black? i have force quit the app and hard/soft reset, help?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

    When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

    See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

  • Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

    Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
    I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
    I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
    Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
    Thanks.

    this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

  • How do I get pop-ups to open in the same screen Firefox is on?

    I have 3 monitors at work for the 10-15 programs/windows I need open all day. The problem is that my normal work requires a pop-up from our company's ticketing system, hosted on a website. That pop-up always occurs on the upper left-hand corner of the main display while Firefox is open on the second display. ***I'd like it to open in front of the current Firefox window*** instead of on a completely different display. How can I achieve this?
    Before you say "Move Firefox to the main display", I'd like to add that I'm using Citrix for multiple other programs and it has the same annoying habit. I can't have them both on the same display since I need to see them both at once. I'm also trying to find a solution for Citrix doing this. Whichever app gets fixed first gets a home on the second display.

    Similar question posted Monday (unsolved): [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966422 How to open new windows on second monitor].
    That user's company policy preventing using new software to solve the problem. Do you have any restrictions on possible add-ons or utilities?

  • Help! My iPad is repeatedly restarting itself and will not open into the main screen.

    Hiya!
    Having a few issues with my iPad 2. Went to charge it as it presented with nil battery but when I went back to check on it an hour later it presented with the apple logo followed by the loading symbol with a blank page. It keeps doing this and I can't seem to reboot it. I have connected it to my Macbook but that doesn't seem to have helped.
    Please someone help me!!

    Try this first. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that that doesn't work, you will probably have to restore the iPad.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    IF you cannot restore the device that way, you will need to use recovery mode.

  • NWBC 3.0 Does not open beyond the splash screen

    I have uninstalled/re-installed and rebooted many times.  Deleted all nwbc.ini files plus anything else I could find.
    This NWBC version 3.0 used to work on my PC in Nov and early Dec. 
    Now all I get is the initial splash screen saying that the program is going to run (and it shows up in my task list for a moment or two) and then nothing.  There's no task running, nothing.
    I've tried NWBC 3.5 - same problem.  I've tried from Run Advertised programs.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling at least 6 times.  Nothing.
    Anyone see this ever and can help?
    I really need quick response on this!

    Uninstall NWBC , go to REGEDIT --> Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> Expand SOFTWARE node --> Locate SAP -- Delete the Folder NWBC.
    And
    2). Expand HKEY_LOCAL_USER --> SOFTWARE  -> SAP --> NWBC - Delete.
    Restart the system and try to install NWBC again and check.

    Press enter. Save and come outside.
    Please do remember all the time period should be as per your system calendar.
