Help with Excel for Mac

I have Excel for my Mac & was working on a spreadsheet.  It froze & I force quit so it recovered the document.  When I finished working on the document I clicked to save the document & it asked if I wanted to replace it & I said yes.  It then told me that the document had an error  or was damaged.  Now I can't find it at all.  How can I recover the original document?  Thanks for any & all help.

  • How to save a Module in Visual Basic with Excel for Mac 2011

    On the MS support pages it shows how to create a module that will turn digits into written words:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213360/en-us
    so if you enter $32.50 it will convert it to Thirty-Two Dollars and 50 cents. Perfect for batch payroll work!
    Using Excel for Mac I open the Visual Basic editor (which I clearly know nothing about!), paste in the text provided by Microsoft and it works perfectly.
    BUT... if I close that workbook that module is gone.  I can't use it again in the next workbook.  Surely there's a simple way to save the module so it is available in all future workbooks... yes?  This one has stumped several MS techs so far.

    Hi,
    I have no Excel for Mac, so I can't test this issue .
    Did you save the Excel workbook as Excel Macro-Enabled workbook(*.xlsm)?I guess Excel would prompt you if you want to save the VBA code when you close the workbook.

  • Where can I get help with Office for Mac

    Hi everyone,
    I use Microsoft Office for Windows at work, and often go to one of the groups at msnews.microsoft.com to ask questions and get help. I would like to be able to check from home to see if anyone has answered my questions, but I can't figure out how to access this from my Mac. Do I need special software for this? At work I use Outlook Express. What should I use from my Mac?
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Many of those groups can also be accessed on the web with any web browser via http://groups.google.com/
    There are several NNTP news readers like Newswatcher and MT Newswatcher on http://www.versiontracker.com/ and http://www.macupdate.com/ which tie into that newsgroup protocol if your internet service provider supports it.

  • Issues with Excel for Mac

    Howdy.
    I am currently running excel on 10.5. The version i am using is 12.0(071130) .
    Its an intermittant issues whereby Excel will rnadomly crash when asked to copy and paste. My first instinct is to update but when i tried to download the installers for the 12.1 and the 12.9 updates , they won't install on my hard drive. I get an exclamation mark on my hard drive when going through the installer.
    I think the copy and paste issue can be sorted by the update, but how do i do the update needed.
    I tried running the microsoft updater through excel but it just hangs and hangs.
    Any ideas?

    I had a similar problem with the exclamation mark. I solved it by re-installing Office from the original disks and re-starting the computer. It seems that one of the main files must have been missing in the Microsoft Office 2008 folder. I now have 8 items in there after the update to 12.1.9.

  • Help with pages for mac.

    hi i have pages for my macbook pro, when i do some work on it for college i have to keep converting it after iv finished which then creates another document, because college computers are windows and only support word. is there any way i can get it too convert itself after iv finished with it? because im getting work done on it and its created multiple documents when exporting and im losing track of everything. either that or shall i just buy word?

    Pages is quite different to Word in the way it works and many of its features, so you will always be exporting to Word, not saving.
    TextEdit and Bean, both free, will work and save in .doc as will several other applications, LibreOffice, also free, is the closest to MsOffice.

  • What should someone do if they cannot afford to buy Excel for Mac....

    Hello
    What should I do if Leopard does not come with Excel for Mac STUDENT EDITION, and I am on a low budget because my parents insist that I should save the money until I finish High School.. BTW I am only 13 yrs old.
    Do you think I should save up the money, but I really need it too. I can't really afford it when I have to save up my money for future uses.
    Do you think I should use my Debit card and buy the Microsoft Home office (excel for mac) which is $199.99 but I have also heard a lot of things for the Leopard too. That I would have to upgrade my RAM and everything, but I don't think I have that kind of money, and I certainly do not want to borrow money from the bank and I am defineately not going to spend money on that stuff. I think I should have brought the Macbook Pro.
    Did you think that a Macbook with only 1GB of memory and 2 GHz of the CPU speed is good enough? I also want to run windows on it too.
    Do you people think that I would have to buy a virus scanner for the windows one? I really don't want to, and I'd rather know about this now because I really need it.
    What do you think I should do?
    If you have any suggestions that are not too hard for me. Please tell me ASAP.
    Thank you.

    Then download OpenOffice for free. It should do everything you need.

    It is plenty good enough. 2 GB of RAM, however, would be very helpful. Plus RAM is quite cheap. Windows is not cheap.

    Don't bother with it. Surf the web and check your mail on the Mac side and you should be fine.

    For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.

    My Mac knows that it is connected to the montior...
    Open your Displays system preferences.  Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens?  If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens.  Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not.  Maybe there's something wrong with the connection.  Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor.  Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

  • Cant print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour

    I can't print black from excel for mac 2011 anymore only colour. Can print normally from all other programs. Will not work from excel. Will only print colour. Have reinstalled printer drivers with no difference. Brand new mac so should be no font issues. I have to screen print all excel documents to print. Wont work if saved as PDF either. Am looking for suggestions. Have checked all preferences and settings. Tried fine and fast - no difference. Comes out blank. Will only print colour. HELP!

    I have a variation of this same problem.  I maintain a bunch of Microsoft Excel 97-2004 Workbooks.  Some of these documents print in colour (actually a light grey colour), while others print in black ink.  I cannot discern the difference between the documents and why the difference in printing.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,

  • EXCEL FOR MAC 2011 Date Format Issue

    Excel for Mac 2011 14.1.0  on iMac OSX 10.7.5.  I see no forum category for Microsoft Office for Mac so just chose iMac. Checked Microsoft site first with no success.
    PROBLEM:
    In new spreadsheet I selected one column and formatted to date format. 
    It was working fine.  Then after I'd been doing some editing and having issues, I closed the file then opened it again.
    The cells/column I'd formatted for dates was showing the date as strange numbers.  Like this:  Instead of 9/12 it shows 41894.
    Even though the individual as well as column cell format is still  "Date" with example style of "3/14" selected, it will not work.
    I cannot find a way to "Clear Formatting" either -- only Clear Contents.
    However, when I cut and paste the cells to another worksheet the date is fine -- but I've lost all my formatting and don't want to start over.  Besides, I need to know what is causing the problem.
    HELP!!  Is this a bug?

    Granny,
    You will probably find help on the Microsoft Office website. Excel isn't covered here.

    Hi all,
    we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our

  • Problem with facetime for mac

    hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

    Thanks, Dah•veed.
    I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
    However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law.  It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
    As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
    The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
    Now I just need to figure out what...

  • Problem with Twitter for Mac notifications

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem with Twitter for Mac. On both my home and office Macs. New posts appear in app window but there aren't any notifications even though notifications are set in preferences to show in both dock and menubar. Perhaps anyone noticed similar strange behaviour? I didn't find anything similar on Twitter forums.
    Thanks in advance.

    go to Terminal and post this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/support/lsregister -kill -seed
    if it doesn't have that specific directory try this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
    once the scanning is done (can be short or long, depends on how heavy your system is) RESTART the computer.
    when you're back, go to Apple>system preferences>extensions.... guess who's there.
