Can't open Office for Mac documents on MacBook Air by simply clicking on the document.

On my MacBook Air, normally I can click on Office for Mac documents and they open no problem. However, now if I click on the document nothing happens. I can only open them if I open the application first and go File > Open. I have had this problem before but I can't remember how I solved it.

You may want to select one of those documents in Finder and then use the Finder File menu Get Info (Command I) to see what application it is set to Open With. That can be changed in the same place. Another method is to right-click on the file.

Can't open Office for Mac 2011 on Yosemite

I have just upgraded from a Mac Pro on Mavericks to an iMac 27" Retina on Yosemite.
I have been running Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac and since upgrading to the iMac on Yosemite I can no longer open Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc.
I have reinstalled from the original disk but still no luck.
I just don't know what to do next, it's odd given that many people apparently have had no problems at all. Has anybody any hints? Thanks

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Post the question in Microsoft's own Office for Mac forum.

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab, but my window is ticked but not appearing. Why?

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear. Can any one tell me why?

Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

Where to purchase Office for Mac 2008 nonEWS version?

I'm planning my upgrade to Lion. I need the non-Web Services Edition of Office for Mac 2008 so that I can connect to my employer's MS Exchange Server 2003 via Entourage 2008.
I can only find the Web Services Edition on Microsoft's website- but that won't work for me.
My understanding is that I need Office for Mac 2008 version 13.3 or earlier. When I shop online, the products offered do not specify the version they are selling.
Does anybody know a sure-fire way or place to get the right version?
thanks.

I have Outlook 2011 and was unable to get it to work with the Exchange 2003. Does this mean they do not have IMAP enabled? When I asked the IT people they said that as far as they knew Outlook 2011 would not work with Exchange 2003. I didn't know enough to ask about IMAP.
1. How do I determine if IMAP is turned on?
A. Ask the IT people if IMAP is enabled for your Exchange Server setup. I'm pretty sure it's *not* enabled by default. They had to turn it on for me earlier for a system I manage that only works with IMAP; so I knew in advance with setting up Outlook 2011 that it was on for me
B. You can always just go for it in Outlook 2011.
- Launch "Preferences"
- Click Accounts
- Click the "+" in the bottom corner to add another account, and select "E-mail" (do *not* select Exchange)
- Fill in "Email address" and the sheet will expand
- Note the "Type" field -- make sure "IMAP" is selected.
You may need to talk to the IT people if you don't know the servers and their ports for those other settings. But that's basically the way you way to setup an IMAP account.
Try this on site not over VPN to make sure it works. I ran into problems with email and other company systems with VPN because I wasn't going through the company's DNS server for my traffic. It's enough to test with OWA with VPN; if you can't connect with name of the server but you can with the IP, then you're not going through the company's DNS.
In Snow Leopard, I believe it was enough in the Network settings to move the VPN higher up in the protocal order, e.g. VPN, Airport, Ethernet. A more stable way is to add the email server and its IP to your hosts file (etc/hosts).
I had heard about Davmail, but was intimidated by it. 2. You say DavMail allows you to get email into other clients- will it do this once I update to Lion?
3. On the DavMail website link it shows instructions to set-up for IMAP, but what if I don't have IMAP?
If I have to use OWA to get email into another client, how would I go about that?
Thanks for your help.
DavMail is a little more involved in terms of setup compared to just using Outlook (or even Mail) with IMAP. The most pain free way is to convince/get the IT people in your company to turn on IMAP for you.
If they don't, then you might consider DavMail.
See if this helps explain what's going on with DavMail. DavMail basically is "interfacing" between Outlook Web Access and your email client. DavMail will go through OWA to your (exchange) mailbox, and (here's the important part) function as your personal IMAP server on your computer. The mail clients like Outlook and Mail, or whatever you want, will then be configured for the DavMail email server, not the Exchange server at the end of chain.
So if the IT people refuse to turn on IMAP for you -- it can happen -- then you can bypass the limitation with DavMail as long as OWA is turned on.

Office for Mac 2008

I need to be able to transfer data from a spreadsheet (not from my address book) to create address labels. I have not been able to do this in iWorks so I have been told to buy Office for Mac. I have purchased Office for Mac 2008 Home & Student edition. Before I install it, (1) Will this enable me to do this? (2) I have read many complaints on this site about Office for Mac. I am a limited computer user, Am I likely to have problems? I have been using Open Office but can't find a way to create labels on that.

i think there is no problem with office mac 2008 i had use it it is very user friendly so don't worry just follow the installations steps.....

Error Msg when installing Office for Mac 2008 on New Mac Book Pro

Why Am I getting the message "Classic environment no longer supported" when I try to install Office for Mac 2008 install on a Late 2011 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
Here is a screen shot:

And for what it's worth, my choice would be (and is) LibreOffice, which I've used for about a year with nearly complete satisfaction. Last time I tried it three or four years ago, OpenOffice had the ugly, unrefined appearance of a Windows application; it had no Mac interface at all. That might actually be comforting to someone coming to the Mac from Windows, but as a 27-year Mac user, I hated it. I don't know whether OO has gotten a facelift in the intervening years.
The intermediate step between OO and LO was NeoOffice, which I used for several years. It was OpenOffice with a Mac face, and I liked it well enough. LibreOffice is its further evolution, more compatible with the latest MS Office files.

How to help my friend install Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

Hello, I have a friend in North Carolina whose mom recently got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountian Lion (10.8), he will be coming on to join this discussion after I post it. He needs Microsoft Office for his mom and I just happened to have purchase 3 licenses (two of which I have already utilized). While talking to him over a Facetime call, I walked him through the steps of getting the free office for mac 2008 package from download.com (which seemed kind of sketchy). While the download actually looked legitimate, we ran the installer and it gave some kind of weird error message that said something like "Could not be installed onto Macintosh HD because the Mac OS X is not on that parition" (I'm paraphrasing my friend will contribute the actual message). Could someone please walk us through an easier (and preferably more secure) process? We just need to get to the point where I can give him my last license key. Thanks!

You will have to check with Microsoft but I think what you are doing is illegal. The 3 license pack I think means 1 user 3 computers, not 2 users 3 computers.

Hmmmm...I'm guessing somebody else has run into this...is there a better place for me to post my question in the forum? Or does everybody in the forum see the question regardless of the catagory it is posted under? I wasn't sure which catagory it should go under.

I believe I have completed all instructions from Open Office.org but the application does not appear in Applications nor in the Dock

You downloaded the file, opened the disk image, and dragged the OpenOffice application to the Applications folder, per these instructions?

Migrated all apps ok except Office for Mac 2008

I just bought a new iMac and migrated all data from my old Mac using Migration Assistant. Everything works fine except for Office for Mac 2008. When I try to open eg a s/sheet (Excel being the default app) Microsoft setup assistant wants to set up accounts etc. If I try and register the product it takes me to Microsoft Office 2011 purchase sitE which I don't want. Any ideas how to get 2008 working on the new iMac?
