Just downloaded Star Office suite!!

As header says just downloaded STAR office as I cannot get along with MS which keeps losing certain files!! You know the ones REQUIRED to operate it!! The ones you have to reload EVERY time you wish to send or do ANYTHING!!!
Anyway, I am typing a letter and the formatting is continually changing (I am NOT altering it, it is set at DEFAULT) and nothing seems to work? Spellcheck is not working (From toolbar or F7 or TOOLS Spellcheck?). Asks me if I would LIKE to start at beginning of document, then says in an instant it has finished checking and there are NO mistakes?? See if you can spot it then? Pople (People) and unsertain (Uncertain?) Just TWO errors. BUT if I try to alter them myself the word I click on is highlighted and then REMOVED!! And I lose all the formatting and words are removed from the middle of the page??
REALLY beginning to worry I have made a wrong choice. Even this forum is designed for BOFFINS!!! It has taken me at least twenty minutes just to arrive at this forum; but that POSSIBLY give you an insight into my ability??

We just downloaded the Creative Suite 6 onto our computer, but it says that the serial number is incorrect. Do we use our serial number from CS5.5 because that didn't work?

Just downloaded Kapersky internet suite 2015 and now when I try to access Gmail a screen pops up that says Firefox has blocked site since this is an "untrusted"

Since downloading Kapersky Internet Suite 2015 when I use Firefox a screen pops up that says:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to mail.google.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

I just downloaded MS Office 2011 to my Notebook. Having trouble opening excel files.

When I try to open xcel spreadsheets from my thumb drive, it gives me the following msg: the file format or extension is not valid.Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file. The file extension reads: xlxs
I can open all other files on my thumb drive. If the advice is that I need to change the file extension, how would I go about doing that?

I think you are talking about *.xlsx files which are the default format for Excel both Windows an Mac versions. Try opening the file within in the program. Example file, open, then select your file. If that don't work try opening the file in Excel for Windows and resaving it as a .xlsx and a .xls version then see which one opens on the Mac Office.

I just lost my office suite - ppt, word, and excel have crashed. What could have happened??????

I am in the middle of preparing a ppt presentation for my business. All of a sudden, the ppt crashed - then followed by word, excel, outlook.
What could have happened?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Mac and Star Office

New school district uses Sun's Star Office suite exclusively. I need to purchase a new computer for home. Would like a new Mac but I need to transfer work back and forth to Windows computer using Star Office. Is this possible or do I need to purchase a replacement PC?

Try using OpenOffice, which has the same code base as StarOffice. StarOffice itself is not available for Mac OS X.

Microsoft Office Suite Won't Print

Any Microsoft office product will not print and I'm getting this message:
"Word cannnot print due to a problem with a current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected i Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
This message pops up no matter which printer I select.
Three things may have contributed (or not!):
1. just added iWork 08 & iLife 08
2. used the most recent update of Microsoft
3. printer/fax machine MAY HAVE been plugged into computer when fax tried to transmit (can't remember for sure as I've tried to problem solve)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am having the exact same problem.
I am running 10.4.10 and Office 11.3.7
I have just reinstalled the office suite and upgraded it.
In all of the office applications, when I try to print, it is unable to create a quick preview in the print dialog box and I am unable to create pdf's or anything else.
In word, the exact error message is
Microsoft Word Error Message:
"Word cannnot print due to a problem with a current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
In Excel, a different message pops up. The message is...
Microsoft Word Error Message:
Microsoft Excel could not communicate with the printer.
There are several possible reasons:
- There may not be enough memory available. Try closing files and programs you aren't using.
- Your printer or its driver may not be set up correctly. You may need to adjust your printer settings.
- If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connections or the printer driver.
- There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.
I get these messages when Excel is the only program running.
Additionally, I have already reinstalled the printer's drivers (Brother HL2070N).
And yes, I am able to print from every other application I have tried (Safari, pages, numbers etc)
Thanks in advance!

I just download mountain lion to my mac, now microsoft office suite doesn't work....it says 'you can't open the application 'microsoft word' because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What does this mean and what do I have to do to fix it??

Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck. I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

I just updated my OS to Leopard and know Power Point from my office suite is opening, or tries to after a reboot and hangs when you try to open it.

I just updated my Mac Book Pro to leopard 10.6.8, and now Power Point from my office suite angs, and when I start up or re boot the laptop Power Point automatically opens and then just hangs, the only way to close is to force close.
Does any one know of any similar issues.
Thanks

There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.

I just downloaded OSx Lion and now MS word won't work. If I buy and install MS Office 2011 for Macs will my old documents open?

I just downloaded OSx Mountain Lion and now MS Word won't work. If I buy the current MS Office 2011 and install will I be able to read my old docs?

If it's because you're trying to use Office 2004 or earlier, yes. Note that programs such as OpenOffice and TextEdit will do this for free.
If you're using Office 2008, it's probably better to troubleshoot the problem instead of upgrading.
