Can't Open Excel Or Word

I was printing a Microsoft Excel document when I got the message that the program has unexpectedly quit, Now I can't even open Word or Excel, Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Could be that you prefs went bad. If you can track down the prefs for them, delete them and see if it rebuilds them then that could be your problem. If not, it maybe a font that went corrupt. Try turning off your fonts and re-launching.
Good luck.

Can't open Excel or Word files on share drive (SMB or AFP) after 10.9.2

After updating to Mavericks OS 10.9.2, I can no longer open excel or word files on my company file share. I receive the error:
'FILEPATH' could not be found.
Ckeck the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most frequently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
I am able to open files on my lcaol hard drive, and other external USB Flash drives. Word present's a slightly different error, with the same theme (filename).
I've tried rebooting both the client and server (both running 10.9.2). Was successful opening files when booting the client into safe mode. Any ideas?

I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs. Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once. Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it.
Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine.

Is the version of excel from Office 2004 or older?
That will not run beyond 10.6.8, because it contains PowerPC code, no longer supported in 10.7 and later.

Is there a way to read ms office files ag. Word , excel or PowerPoint on I pad?

The iPad will open and display them natively. To edit them, you need an app from the App Store. Documents to Go is one.

Can't open Excel - not enough memory

I recently converted files from a PC over to this mac by using an external hard drive. Among other things I don't quite know how to do, I get an error message-not enough memory- when trying to open excel. Word works fine. It is Microsoft 2007. Checked memory on disk and it is far from full. Please help!

HI and welcome.....
I get an error message-not enough memory- when trying to open excel.
Open System Profiler (Applications / Utilities). Under Hardware you can see how much RAM (memory is installed)
And make sure there is sufficient space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;)

How can I open excel pdf files

How can I open excel pdf files

Hi mmart1957,
Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
Best,
Sara

What version of Microsoft Office for Mac do you have?

I can't open excel as its a powerPC app what do I do? Help ....

I can't open excel as its a powerPC app what do I do?
It tells me PowerPC applications are no longer supported - I wish I'd been told this before upgrading to Lion
Help ....

I can't open excel as its a powerPC app what do I do?
Buy a newer version of Office (assuming it supports Lion). I don't know how the free Office substitutes (Open Office, Neo Office) stand as regards to Lion support. Apple has its own Office equivalent (Numbers, Pages) but I have never seen a copy so I can't say anything about it.
As Klaus said, dropping PPC coding support was mentioned before release, but is obviously not the first thing they are going to tell you about Lion. For those of us using Macs the rule of thumb has been for support to drop roughly 4 years after a hardware or software platform has been discontinued. This is no publicized formal policy but if you check the various hardware and software releases over the past decade you'll see that support discontinues about 2 OS releases after whatever was current at the time. Leopard was the last OS that ran on PPC, and Lion is 2 OS releases after Leopard, so I don't think any of us are surprised that anything related to PPC is now gone. Unfortunately it just means that Mac owners have to either be well-heeled to make more frequent computer purchases, or you have to be savvy and figure workarounds and be thankful for third party support.

Can't open excel error message -1712

can't open excel comes up with error message -1712

As Ms Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. I think you will find them more than helpful.

Hi terrymmurphy,
Do you double-click on the Excel file and unable to open this file?
If so, the association between the file and the corresponding application may be missing.
Please follow these steps to re-associate the file manually.
1. Right-click the Office file that you want to open.
2. Select Open with, then click Choose default program.
3. Select the appropriate program to associate with the file, click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.

OTM can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx)

With more and more use of Word Document(*.docx) (version 2007). OTM (Oracle Test Manager) can create an attachment with it, but can not open attachment with Word Document(*.docx). Is this a problem for anyone else? Any wok around?
Thanks
Katherine

I am using OTM version 9.2 and the Word document (*.docx) attachment can be opened in this.
For being able to open a docx file, try to attach an word document from the file option in the Requirements, Test or Issue tabs in OTM , once you upload the file, please check if location is " in Database" Else click update DB and upload the document.
Once the attachment is attached to the Attachment section in the right pane, clicking on the attachment will open the *.docx document.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps.
