I have downloaded Microsoft Word on my Macbook Air

I have downloaded Microsoft Word on my Macbook Air and when I delete a document on there it does not seem to go away. The next time I open word the document seems to still be there but I cannot open it either. Is there a way to get rid of it all together?

Are you saying you actually delete the document on the Mac but it still appears in Word's list of recently accessed documents?
That is the way Word works.  It works this way on Windows machines as well as Macs.

    How do I download Microsoft Word?

    Have you purchased Microsoft Word yet?  If so, download it from the media you purchased it from.
    If you haven't purchased it yet, buy and download it from here:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com
    I don't know if you will be able to purchase Word without the rest of Office.

    How can I use the F11 short cut to go to next field in Microsoft Word 2011 on Macbook Air?

    The default setting for the function keys is that they do OS X functions.
    To get a regular function hold the fn key and then press the function key.
    This action can be reversed in keyboard preferences.

  • Can I download Microsoft office FREE in macbook air?

    So  I have a macbook air and i really need microsoft offie word, but can i download it online in the internet? Thank you if you help me

    No. That would be against the law. You have to pay for it.
    You can try a free alternative if you like, like open office, but you're not going to instructions on how to commit a crime here.

  • Is there any way for me to download microsoft office on my macbook air and it will write in different languges like hebrew without looking wierd ?

    I can not find how to download microsoft office from the apps in the appstore and have it work in hebrew . i need to be able to write in hebrew and that the letters will not mess up on the page . help ..

    MS Office for Mac has never supported Hebrew/Arabic  scripts.  You have to use something else.  Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should also work OK.

  • How can i download microsoft word

    how can i download microsoft word into my macbook air

    ... or here (if you are in the U.S.):

    Kappy's link above now goes to Office 365, the subscription based verion of Office.  Indeed that is newer than Office for Mac 2011, which is offered on the link I provided above.  But Microsoft still sells either version.  They are quite different in that you would own Office for Mac 2011, while Office 365 is subscription based, and can be used on more than one machine.
    Sorry, never mind the above.  Kappy's link provides both options.  Sorry!

    I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document, I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

  • When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Micro

    When I download Microsoft word documents (if have word 2007), I have somehow changed the settings and it downloads them in wordpad, and the format is very bad and I can't read a lot of the document. How do I change the default setting back to using Microsoft Word 2007 to open these documents?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a few weeks ago - I had tried to open some docuuments saved on a mac, my PC (which runs Windows 7), used word pad to open these, and this seems to have changed the default settings somehow.

  • Having problems with my Microsoft Word 2011 for macbook

    Hello,
    Every time I open up the Microsoft work 2011 on my macbook this error message keeps showing up. 
    "The Open XML file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents of file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /)."
    And then right below it, it says: Details: No error detail available
    So now my questions is why is it doing that? And can you please help me and tell me step by step on what I need to do.
    Also is their a refresh button for Microsoft Word for a macbook?

    You would be better served if you asked questions about Word for the Mac on a different forum:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword
    This forum is for PC based IT users and not too many PC users are familiar with the Mac. I happen to be one that is however.
    George Summers has already suggested renaming your Normal template, but first I think you should remove any prior version of Office for the Mac (if there is one) that is on this machine. There are ways to have multiple versions of Office on the same machine,
    but if you don't really need the prior version you should remove it.
    Create a new user id on the machine and open Word from it. Hopefully you don't get the same error message. Then go to Word > Help and run the Check for Updates function until it tells you that your software is fully updated. Finish up by running the Disk
    Utility app located in Applications/Utilities and Repair Permissions on your Primary Drive, which is usually Macintosh HD. Then restart your system.
    Login under your user id and before starting anything use Finder>Go>Go to folder... and paste this string into the text box.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates and in there should be the Normal.dotm template. If it is not there look for it as George as pointed out from Word>Preferences>File Locations and remove it. It should be in
    the User Templates folder and if it is in a different location this can be causing the problem, which can be fixed but for now, your objective should be to get Word running as Microsoft had expected to run.
    When you are done with this, post your update on the Answers forum that I shared with you and mark this thread as closed.

  • How can I get Microsoft Word in my MacBook Pro?

    How can I get Microsoft Word on my MacBook Pro? I need it to submit work to my teachers.

    Buy Office 2011 for OS X. Or if you don't want to spend any money you can use Libre Office.

  • Is there any possible way I can download Microsoft powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I need it for lots of projects of my school.

    Dear Apple Inc.
         I would like to know if there is any possible way I can download Microsoft Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I hope you can reply as soon as you can so I can be able to do all the projects being presented to me from school on Microsoft Powerpoint.
    Thank you,
         April Navarro

    These are user forums. You are not speaking to Apple here. You cannot get MS products for free. You can purchase the student version of Office for OS X from MS. You can download a 30 day free trial that you can fully activate by purchasing a license key for $139.00.
    You can download a free copy of Libre Office which is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows but runs on Macs. I don't know how compatible the presentation module is to Powerpoint.

    How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
    If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops
