I installed Microsoft office and it keeps opening up automatically upon log in

Does anyone know why Microsoft word and excell would keep opening up when I turn my computer on?

Two places to check, first is click each apps icon on the Dock and hold it down, choose choose Options and see if there is a check mark, if there is select it and this will turn it off. In other words you do not want that checked.
The next place to check is System Preferences - Users & Groups - Login Items and if the apps are listed then highlight them and click the - symbol below to remove them.
Finally I don't think you carefully read your owners manual, on page 16 it says:
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When youriMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass thestartup process.

  • Installing Microsoft Office Suite, and error message re: StuffIt Expander

    Hi,
    I recently tried to install Microsoft Office Suite (Office2001-906UpdateEN.bin) on my computer, but keep getting an error message saying "Sorry, but this version of StuffIt Expander requires version 6.5 or newer of the StuffIt Engine. Error -43" I have StuffIt Lite 6.5.1 in my Applications folder, which includes StuffIt Expander. However, when I try opening StuffIt Expander, I get an identical error message. Can anyone help?
    (FYI, since erasing my hard disk and reinstalling my applications recently, I've experienced other problems, too, such as AppleWorks' spell-check function not working, and MacLink no longer being available. I don't know if any of these problems are related -- and/or if I just made mistakes in reinstalling?)
    Thanks.

    Hi, Elizabeth -
    You should be able to download the newer version of Stuffit Expander, since downloading does not involve unstuffing. Once the download has been received, your browser may be trying to invoke the version of Stuffit Expander that's on your drive in order to automatically unstuff it for you - and that's what is causing the message to be displayed.
    Look for the uncompressed download, probably in a .sit or .sit.hqx format.
    Then insert your latest OS 9 Install CD, and locate the Aladdin Software folder. For install CDs for OS 9.1 and later, that will here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Aladdin Software. For install CDs for OS 9.0.4 and earlier, it will be here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Internet Access >> Aladdin Software. Dig into the Aladdin Software folder, and you'll find an uncompresssed copy of Stuffit Expander, v. 5.5 or v. 6.0. Copy that version to the Hard drive.
    Then drag the icon of the freshly downloaded (and still compressed) newer version of Stuffit Expander onto the icon of the older version of Stuffit Expander, and let go when the icon highlights - it should then be decompressed without problem.
    Once that is done, run the installer for the new version.

  • Hi I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion now Quarkxpress 6.5, Adobe creative suite CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional and Microsoft Office 2004 will nolonger open. Can anyone please advise me what I can do to get these programs running.

    Hi I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Installing Microsoft Office:mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition

    I am trying to install Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student and teacher edition.
    I don't know how to achieve this.
    I have tried the Office Setup Assistant but it says "You can't open the application "Office Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    So, I assume I have to do the "Drag the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk to install all Office components" option.
    Being very new to iMac, my question is, "Where exactly do I drag it to?  Which icon along the bottom or should it go somewhere else?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    It will not work with Mountain Lion. You need Office 2011 for OS X.
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Installing Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2004 (Mac)?

    Before I install Microsoft Office 2004-Student and Teacher Edition (Mac), Do I need to Uninstall/Trash the TRIAL Versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage that came with the computer?
    *I have not activated the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive (30 day trial) yet for Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage, which
    was already installed on my computer.
    Do I need to activate the trial?
    or Do I need to just Uninstall/Trash each ot the individual programs I mentioned above, Before I continue, to keep it from messing up the installion?
    Thanks In Advance!!
    Imac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Hi FritztheKat (he was a very naughty kitty ,
    If you never installed the Test Drive, then simply trash it. Otherwise, you'll need to run the uninstall application and reinstall the full version, or it will eventually time out. If you can't remember if you installed the trial version, then keep it around on an external disk or CD-R/RW. Though as mentioned above, the full version gives you the option of uninstalling both the full and trial versions at once before reinstalling, so you shouldn't need to keep the trial version around. You can always download it again if necessary.
    Being at 10.4.6 for Tiger and with all updates installed for Office, there's nothing else to do there.
    As far as which apps to use, that's up to you. I use Entourage simply because it came with Office. That's not to say it's a better program by default than OS X's Mail. But I've never used Mail, so can't comment on which has the upper hand.
    You already have iChat, so MSN messenger isn't needed. But I just don't do any chatting online, so can't really tell you if one has features the other doesn't.
    If you do a lot of work for or with companies and/or PC users in general, then Word is the way to go for word processing. 100% compatibility with the majority of users when sharing documents is a big plus in that catagory.
    The Creative Suite will work fine (according to those using it on an Intel based Mac), but it will be rather slow since it has to be run through the Rosetta emulation. As will Office. Both Microsoft and Adobe have hinted that the next release of their products will be Spring of 2007. At which point, they'll be Universal apps, and so native to Intel Macs.

  • I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

    I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent".  How do I close these programs?

    If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
    Parallels has a forum here:

    I think you'll get a faster response there.

    How do I install Microsoft Office for Mac on my iPad?

    You cannot, as Microsoft Word is made for computers, not tablets. You have two main choices if you want to create documents:
    1. Buy Pages in the App Store, does the same job but is made by Apple and not as good.
    2. If you have Office 365, there's an Office app for iPhone, but can also run on iPad.
    There are far more choices than those two.

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

  • Error 1704 - Can't install Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

    Hi,
    I am attempting to install Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 on my windows 8.
    I ran the setup like normal and it went 100% but froze and nothing else happened.
    I then looked into a few threads and saw that I should run it in compatibility mode. When I did this I got an error message, which stated, "Error 1704. An installation for Microsoft Office Office 64-bit components 2007 is currently suspended. You must
    undo these changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?"
    Seems simple, but when I click yes, the error message immediately comes back up (which just continues no matter how many times I press yes. So I press no and it ends....
    I don't know much about computers but I need to get my resume in to a job ASAP!
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

    Exactly, what error are you getting. Could you get a screenshot?
    Are other/normal excel files working fine?
    Does your file have macros or just complex formulas?
