  • How do use iCloud with Microsoft word, excel and power point? are they compatible

    i am trying to use i cloud with mircosoft word and excel but i am not sure if its compatible. do i first need to purchase pages?

    The kernel failure panic kind of message points to some other activity;
    as such, it may be there could be a conflict in some applications; as a
    logical failure is indicated by the first part of the message content.
    Whether or not any common kernel panic resolution ideas could work
    in regard to the trigger of this action, is another matter & unresolved.
    Reading and understanding the resulting logs is part of this resolution;
    the following link has information on these kinds of issues in general.
    Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2063.html
    Resolving Kernel Panics:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
    If there were more, perhaps from another error log in the system, to
    point to other contributing factors in the cause of this action & report,
    some course of correction could be indicated; should that involve a
    reinstall of certain programs (and their update files, as Office has) or
    perhaps removing other seldom used applications if they were proven
    to be part of conflict in the system, with Office triggering its appearance.
    Some troubleshooting of this issue may point to some course of action
    and if the problem is only software-based, then it may involve testing
    or moving, or reinstalling some applications. There is a chance, too,
    that something else may be acting up at a low-level of the system. If
    that were the case, sometimes a re-install of the system on a wiped
    and zeroed drive would be a path to consider to test or resolve this.
    But only after other things have been tried. If you have a full backup
    of the computer's contents on a bootable external drive, that would be
    a means of testing the computer itself.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now I cannot print on Mac Word, Excel, and Power Point

    Please help.
    I download Yosemite a few weeks ago and now I cannot print documents on Mac Word, Excel, and Power Point. I attempted to reinstall the software and it still doesn't allow me to print documents. Below you will see the error messages I get when I try to print. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Update MS Office suite to be the most up-to-date version and also run Software Update to see if there are updated printer drivers for your printer.
    Going forward please post Office for Mac questions in the correct forum, this is an iMac forum. There is an Office for Mac forum hosted by Microsoft, the link is Office for Mac Product Forums

  • How do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

    how do i find words, excel and power point in my mac book air ?

    You would have to purchase, install, and update them first.
    They would be installed into /Applications, probably into an MS Office folder. The installer may have placed aliased copies of the icons in your Dock, or if not, use the Finder > Go menu > Applications, and have a look around. When you find the applications, you can drag/drop the principal three onto your Dock — where a single click can launch them.

  • Can you store Word, Excel, and Power Point files in icloud from macbook

    Is there a way to store documents from my macbook using office 2011 for mac using iCloud? 
    If this is possible, is there a way that they can be in separate files from the documents on other devices?
    MacBook OSX 10.7.5

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
    You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
    Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

  • TS3938 Hi, I have a sign being advised Power PC Applications no longer supported when I try to go into Microsoft Word, Excel, Entourage & MSN Messenger, hoe do I resolve this? Any help appreciated.

    Hi, I have a sign being advised Power PC Applications no longer supported when I try to go into Microsoft Word, Excel, Entourage & MSN Messenger, hoe do I resolve this? Any help appreciated Sorry, this is for a Mac Air

    Most versions of Office 2008 use an Universal installer. A few have one which is PowerPC-only.
    In any case, Mac OS X Server 10.6 can be run in emulation, and Rosetta applications can be run in it. Saying that PowerPC-only applications won't run in Mac OS X 10.7 is correct. Saying that they won't run on a Mac which shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 is not.

  • Since upgrading to Lion on start multiple programs open (word, excel, mail, power point) any fixes?

    Since upgrading to Lion every time I start my Mac  multiple programs open (word, excel, mail, power point) any fixes?

    CJLinst wrote:
    Yeah, but when it CRASHES  and you have to hold the power button, all the apps restart.  I have 8GB and it's swap-city.
    To make matters worse, it appears there's a bug in Lion Mail.  It opens a compose window for every email I sent in the previous session.  We're talking dozens and dozens of windows.
    Maybe try posting your own question on this as it is unrelated to this post. Never seen it before, so if you require help, then open a new topic.
    Cheers

  • I have word docs and power points in Arabic which I should like to read on my Mac. Can anyone offer a view as to how I can do this.?

    I have much training material previously prepared on my former Microsoft pc. Some of the word docs and power points are in arabic on a memory stick now. However my Mac cannot read the arabic at all. Has anyone hd this problem and found a solution?

    Do you see disconnected Arabic or nonsense?  If nonsense, it could be an encoding problem.  Use the camera icon here to  post screenshot of what you are seeing.
    It is important to understand that MS Word for Mac has never supported connected Arabic.  You have to use some other app, like TextEdit or LibreOffice, and sometimes select the text and change the font to one of those provided by Apple, like Geeza Pro.

  • I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

    Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
    Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
    Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

  • I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
    Mavericks System requirements.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
    Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
    You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
    Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

  • The user "Admin" is stuck in the document properties of all excel and power point files

    Does anyone know how I can clear this out, so the document properties show the actual author of the document? via script or regedit the problem exists on 2000 computers.

    Hi,
    Sounds like the user settings of the Office installation is set to Admin. Has the installation been done by some script?
    You can check if this is the case by looking at the File - Options and have a look of what the username is set to. I think it would be relatively easy to ask the user to enter their initials.

  • Microsoft Word Excel and Lion

    Why won't word and excel open in lion?

    What version do you have? Only 2008 and 2011 will work, since the previous versions were compiled for PowerPC, and Lion dropped support for PowerPC apps.

  • How can i reinstalle​d word,excel and powerpoint​?

    Hi.I have a blackberry 8520 and my application word,excel and power point had disappeared.how can i reinstall them? Please help me!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Do you mean the DataViz Desktop To Go Applications? If so, the Standard Edition is free, but does not include the PDF reader. The Premium Edition costs, but add's the PDF reader. If you previously had the Premium Edition, then you simply use your previous license code to reinstall and activate it.
    In any event, if it's indeed these apps you are asking about, then you need to be asking DataViz -- they are the vendor of those apps. They have lots of information on their website.
    Good luck!

  • How do I get access to my microsoft word, excel etc? Is lion not compatible with word, if so it you be mentioned prior to someone purchasing.

    Have installed Lion, but Lion says it will not support microsoft office programs words.  Is this a major glitch with Lion?  I cannot believe Apple would create a operation system not conducive to running word, excell etc.!!!  Anyone know what the fix is?

    There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.
