Can't get Microsoft Word to launch

I cannot get my microsoft word to launch.  Have used it for 7 years with no problem.

Do you have a demo version of Office installed? That can cause trouble with running the full version.
What version of Office is it? Choices that run on PowerPC (pre-2006) iMacs are Office X; Office 2004; Office 2008.
As Office is not an Apple product, you may get faster help and surely more views by posting in Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:

  • Can I get Microsoft Word on the new MacBook

    I solved my problems of always working on her computer by buying my sweet wife a G5 and trashing her Dell. She is going to take a course at a college many miles from our home. I could not wean her from Word, but she is now a Mac Mail and Safari user. I purchased a version of Word when I purchased her G5. I would like to get her a MacBook but, I don't see the option at the Apple Store to buy one with Microsoft Word. Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. Thanks, Steve

    "Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. "
    No. Apple will not preinstall it. You must purchase Office/Word separately: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2004/word2004.aspx?pid=howtobuy

  • Can i get microsoft word on my ipad?

    I really need it for my school work. And also if its free that would be great. :)

    I use Pages on my iPad. It reads Word docs and can convert its files to Word doc when you share them back to your computer or email them to someone.ages cannot make all the possible formatting that Word does but Pages is a pretty good app. It also works with iCloud so Pages docs I have on my iPad are also always available on my iPhone. Make a change in one place and it show up on the other device.

  • HT2448 How can we get Microsoft word on iPad

    Download licensed 'VM vare' and get it all in one

    I'd suggest waiting until Microsoft corporate makes an official announcement before reporting that, Joey. Such claims were made before by supposed "in the know" Microsoft employees and turned out to be totally false. All Microsoft is confirming now is that the Office Mobile apps, OneNote and Lync, will be supported on iOS and Android.
    Regards.

  • Upgraded to lion can't access microsoft word!! help?

    upgraded to lion and can't acces microsoft word for mac/get PowerPc applications are no longer supported. help?

    Rosetta is not included in Lion, Rosetta was required to run PPC based apps. If you want to continue using Word in Lion you will need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011. If you have other PPC based apps you will also have to upgrade those to apps that are designed to run on Intel based Macs. 

  • How can Tiger open Microsoft Word documents sent by e-mail?

    I recently upgraded to Tiger and use Appleworks 6, which is unable to read the Microsoft Word documents I frequently receive by e-mail. Is there any way I could read such documents, or should I get Microsoft Word? If so, which number/level would you advise? (I'm happy with Appleworks.)

    Do the problematic Word attachments end in ".doc" or in ".docx"?
    Neither AppleWorks 6 nor TextEdit will handle Microsoft's marketing-driven "improved" file format used in Mac Office 2008 / Windows Office 2007 (which is almost-but-not-really based on XML). There's a backwards-compatible option in those versions of Word to "Save As" Word 97 -2004 format (.doc). The practical solution where I work is to track down anyone sending .docx and threaten them with grievous bodily harm unless they resend as .doc and swear to never use .docx again.
    Microsoft has a converter that (allegedly) converts the new format to the vastly more common one, but that requires a previous copy of Office (Office 2004 or Office X).
    You can try the Mac OS X Dashboard widget DocX Converter instead.

  • Can't Open Microsoft Word 2011 on my Mac it crashes

    I am hoping someone can help me. I can not open microsoft word 2011 on my mac book air (maverick operating system). 
    The problem actually did not happen until apple care helped me get rid of some malaware on my mac.
    However as I google the problem and it seems to be something happening to a lot of people. I went thorough many forums and tried everything suggested (ie http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/microsoft-excel-has-encountered-a-problem-and/222d7f46-a092-4d8d-8f9d-e48c8a1a90ec?tab=MoreHelp)
    I also restored the fonts and used another account user and it still does not work.
    Does anyone have a suggestion. I am about to give up and use pages because I do not know what to do, I am stumped.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This forum is for general questions and feedback related to Word for Windows, it's better to post your question to the forum for Mac as our MVP suggested:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

  • Error - "Can not find Microsoft Word installed.."

    Hi,
    I downloaded RH6 demo to test it, but can't generate a
    printed documentation.
    When I try, I only get an error message
    "Can not find Microsoft Word installed on your system"
    I have no idea why this happens. First, in the layout
    settings I have set .pdf to be produced - DOC option is not
    checked.
    Also, MS Word is installed (Office 2003), and in Tools /
    Options / HTML Editors Word 2003 is listed, with a correct path to
    Winword.exe (which I reselected, just in case) .
    This happens on Windows Vista Ultimate edition, UAC off.
    Other layouts are generated normally.
    Any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks

    RH6 is not supported under Vista.
    I cover this in the article I wrote for Adobe's DevNet pages.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/get_started.html
    It is also covered in the Getting Started Guide that ships
    with the product. A soft copy can be found at
    http://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/documentation.html
    See also Snippets on my site where there is a reference to a
    forum post about running RH6 under Vista.
    When you installed RH6 did it find Word on your system then?
    Did you install using your logon with admin rights attached?

    Can I view Microsoft word on my iPad?

    You can view Word documents as email attachments on the iPad, but if you want to save and edit Word files you need a compatible app for Word files ..... Pages, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and others are available in the app store that you can check out and see which best suits your needs.

    You can't use Microsoft Word on the iPad because of the different operating system but you can have a look at the following apps.
