Cannot open Microsoft Office after copying it across from external HD with recovered data from my broken macbook HD.

I have recently had to replace the hard drive in my macbook pro. All the data has been recovered from my old one onto an external HD and I have copied over everything from this onto the new HD on my macbook. Everything is fine except for Microsoft Office (2011).
Although I can see all the Microsoft Office programs in the Applications folder, I can't open any of them. It sort of tries, but then doesn't open. All my word, excel, etc documents have the little 'W' or 'X' in the icon and I can preview them, but it won't open.
So far I have copied Office and Messenger into Applications, 'Microsoft' into Application Support, 'Microsoft' into Preferences, and the 'Microsoft-Userdata' into Documents.
Have I missed something? I don't have the original CD or product key anymore so don't think I can completely reinstall.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help - I have now found the original product key (although still no disc!)  so is there any way now? After this, I'm giving up and just biting the bullet and buying it again, annoying!

  • Maverick updated and now i cannot open microsoft office for mac

    Has anyone come across this too?
    It says "Excel cannot open this work book"  and "the file name or file path contains an invalid character, for example  " / "
    Same thing for word and although not tried it, powerpoint too
    Any ideas?

    You will need to uninstall Office 2011 and reinstall it.
    You must remove it correctly, here are the instructions.

  • Cannot open Microsoft Office 2004

    Hi. I have MS Office 2004 installed on my iMac, for using Excel and Word. All of a sudden this morning, I could not print an Excel file, due to some sort of error. Don't know what it was. I then found that I could not open any Office application. I get the message Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Office to no avail. I am not too worried about data loss as I did a backup of these files last night. All other programs seem ok, just cannot open any files in Office. Can anyone advise me on my next course of action please?
    None of the obvious remarks about using MS please. :-))
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Don't know about billy but I did everything. Uninstalled all plists, preferences, reinstalled, nothing worked. BTW, Kurt, the uninstaller also performed like the other Office apps...sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
    I also stripped my regular login account of all startup items (at least those that I could do without). Nada.
    But I THINK I've found the problem (at least at my end). I had recently installed Shapeshifter's New UB program. When I uninstalled, all Office apps have been performing normally. So I believe this was causing some kind of a conflict for me.
    Don't know if that's an actual solution, but it does seem to have done the trick for me.

    Reinstalling Office will have no effect.
    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Cannot find Microsoft Office after hp recovery

    I am having a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 15-n208TX. I got the Microsoft Office 2007 preinstalled when I purchased my laptop. I performed hp recovery and after that I could not find MS Office. Please help

    HP do not supply MS Office full version except for Starter or Trial and once you recover/reinstall OS its gone. Hence you need to purchase Office application.
    You can try

  • Trouble opening Microsoft Office after computer transfer

    I just got a MacBook Air and transferred all my data from my old Macbook Pro last week.  My microsoft office will not open.  It opens the M.O. set-up assistant and I run through the steps and check for new updates, install the updates, and then it doesn't open the program.  I try to click on the program again, and it runs me through the set-up assistant and updates everytime.

    I repaired disk permissions and it didn't fix the problem.  I still had to run through the set-up assistant and it didn't open.  I looked at my sharing and permissions for admin (me) and it says "read and write."  I'm assuming this is correct.  Also, it is microsoft office 2008...is this an issue?  I read some posts where it might be?

  • My user information has been corrupted and I cannot open Microsoft Office

    After the latest Office 2011 for Mac update, I have not been able to start Word, Excel, or Powerpoint.  Outlook for some reason is ok.  After going back and forth with Microsoft, I have discovered that I can open these programs if I have created a new user account on my mac.  Is there away I can reset the pertinent user information in order to open these programs on my existing user account?
    Thanks

    Are you now seeing two versions of Mail in Applications?
    Try moving the small 8.1MB Mail.app to the Trash. But don't empty it. Then download and install the Security Update again. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    If that doesn't work, use File>Put Back for the one in the Trash and see this post and the two following it. If you get another small one as a result, you can keep working with that one for this workaround. You won't need the one from the Trash.

  • HT6114 After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly then nothing happens. How can I get Outlook to open?

    After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011).  Outlook flashes briefly but does not open.  How can I get Outlook to open?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.

    I get the following error message when opening Microsoft Outlook (using Windows 7):
    Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Errors have been detected in the file.
    C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst.
    Quit Outlook and all mail enabled applications and then use the Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe) to diagnose and repair errors in the file. For more information about the inbox repair tool, see Help.
    I have tried the suggested fix of using the start menu, clicking "run" and then typing in "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane" and it did not work. Do I need some sort of a longer path to make this work?
    I cannot find the so called "inbox repair tool" and don't know how to use "scanpst.exe".
    Are all my old email folders now lost? How can I start using my Outlook email again?
    Thanks for any help. Susanne 

    It seems to me that your emails has not been lost, perhaps your outlook folder has been lost. to get your emails back you must try one of the following ways.
    Use backup file, if you have kept it in another location.
    if not then go to the:
    C:/Users/owner/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst."
    and run the scanpst,exe tool to fix the outlook error on windows 7.
    If this application is not working or giving error then use a powerful PST Repair tool. which ,may become helpful for
    you.

  • Problem opening  Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments

    Just got a Motorola Razr.  Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments.   Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type".   Can open jpg files.  I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference.   Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue.  I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue.  This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails.  My email server / client is Verizon.
    I would appreciate any recommendations.

    Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
    The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time.  I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients.  I've had similar issues with email on computers.
    The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format.  It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it. 
    The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
    Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful.

  • Cannot open MS Office files directly from network

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble opening Microsoft Office files off of a network drive. 
    When opened, the application jumps straight into the template page (attached screenshot).
    I can copy files onto my local machine and open them no problem, however if I have an existing file open (from the local machine) and subsequently try to open a network file, the local file is closed and the template page replaces it. 
    The same symptoms occur when attempting a "Save As" to the network.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I've tried replacing the office plugin file NPOFF12.DLL from a working system to the bad system, and it didnt help. I got that by doing typing about:plugins in the address bar. This person can open PDF documents, it's just Office files that dont open. I get no prompt to do anything. I have seen threads about headers on the webpages, but I'm not sure if its applicable. I tried from OWA and it does the same thing; nothing.

  • Unable to open microsoft office

    I am unable to open Microsoft office at all. I restored my system yesterday and it worked. shut down and logged on today the same issue. I show that an update was done last night so I am checking here first b/f I call microsoft.

    How is this related to Firefox, or any Mozilla product?
    It sounds like what you need to do is repair your Microsoft Office installation, then check Windows Update for any updates again.

  • Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

    Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

    Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
    Best regards,
