Magic Mouse erratic in WORD AND EXCEL

In both the WORD and EXCEL programs the cursor goes off on its own, pages flip, and in EXCEL almost useless. Have to switch to the old ball mouse for both of them.

Same here in OpenOffice spreadsheet.  Impossible to use.  It will start wildly scrolling the spreadsheet to the left. There needs to be a recall on this mouse.

  • The dock in Maverick is doing strange things to word and excel files

    For years (and Mac operating systems), I have kept Microsoft word and excel documents on my doc. I use these documents frequently...click on the file icon in the dock, it opens, I edit and save. Click on the icon again and the saved document opens. so simple.
    Since upgrading, I click on the icon, the file opens with a number following the file name (version number I assume) but before docx or xlsx. I edit and save, but get a "save as" box. Now I have to edit the file's name, find the original and replace the original with the new version. Not so simple.
    Since I open and close my daily billing log many times a day, this has slowed me down (and irritated me).
    I have had no other problems with my Maverick installation and these files are in Word and Excel 2008. This does not happen to powerpoint or any other file I tried so far.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this?

    Your Mac will generate a new .plist file automatically after restart.
    Deleting the .plist file shouldn't delete any app icons from the dock.
    Check the startup disk just in case.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery

    Take a look at the options to Transfer data from a PC to a Mac. Consider the first option with Migration Assistant.

  • I am thinking of changing to a IMaC for my computer and Want to know if I will be able to upload documents from my old computer and all my photos. Everything is in Microsoft Word and excel. I have a iphone and ipad so that is why i am thinking of changing

    If I change to a IMAC will I be able to upload all my photos and word and excel documents? Also does it have USB ports like I have already used?
    Is there a DVD player on IMACS? It is scary making the move until I am sure I can use everything I already have.  I also have NEAT for all my recepits also.

    When the new Mac first starts up, you get the opportunity to migrate your files from another computer, including a PC. This link tells you how to do it from Windows.
    As for the iMac's features, you can look through this website to get all the details.
    It is possible to install Windows on a Mac and run your Windows applications within it. It's also possible to use programs that are for the Mac which can work with most MS Office files. One good example is LibreOffice.
    Welcome to the Mac.

  • HT3258 Will Word and Excel still work if I upgrade to Mount, Lion

    If I upgrade to M. Lion, will the Word and Excel programs I have on my Mac still work?
    Thanx - M

    It depends on which version you have. If they are very old PowerPC only programs - over six years old or so - they will not run.
    A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Unable to save MS Word and Excel 2010 and 2013 onto the network share

    Hi,
    I have read similar cases, but did not work out on the problems we face.
    We are using Office 2010 and Windows 7 and it seems like only this combination will encounter saving problem on the networe share (but local / removable disks are fine) - 
    Other combinations:
    Windows XP and Office 2010 - no problem
    Windows XP and Office 2003 - no problem
    Windows 7 and Office 2003 - no problem
    In Microsoft Word 2010, when saving a new document, it will save but create a 0KB file in the network share drive and I notice the blue menu bar of the Microsoft Word 2010 still displays "Document1" instead the new file name.
    And only when I click save icon or exit button, Word actually prompts another "Save As" dialog to save the file, and as a result, I have to save the same file and answer MS Word prompt to replace the existing file - and this is the real time that
    the document and its contents really got saved. And the blue menu bar then displays the actual file name.
    In Microsoft Excel 2010 (also Powerpoint I suppose so), in saving a new excel file, after typing in a file name for the new file in the network share location, it will prompt a dialog box indicating the "File is currently in use"
    Similar to MS Word, it will still create a 0KB file in the network share, and only a second time saving and replace the 0KB file, is able to save the file again. 
    I have tried a lot of ways from Safe Mode, Disable Add-in, Added Trusted Locations to the network share in MS Word and Excel, Uninstall Antivirus software, redo NTFS permission on the network share server folder, etc but the problem cannot
    be solved.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Daryl

    Thank you Max.
    I have tried various storage configurations and share the folders out in Windows Servers and grant user accesses with AD.
    These drives configuration involves iSCSI drives, using NAS drive, using internal SAS RAID drives in Windows 2008 servers, all having the same errors, but the latter one was having the most errors almost every first time the users
    save their files (includes saving from email attachments), the files will get 0KB.
    I have tested LAN cables, switch LAN points in panels and switches, and comes to no avail.
    I have patched with the latest office updates (the latest being Office 2010 SP2) also to no avail.

    Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into
    a pdf. Any advice?

    To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
    The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
    You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.
