    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

    Why suggest "ignore iWork"? I use iWork exclusively now, since dumping MS Office and I like it.
    On its own it's fine, as a replacement for Office it's mediocre. Unable to save in Office format you are pushed into exporting (extra steps) simply to create an Office compatible file. Pages barely renders a Word document correctly (a trait also shared by Libre/Open Office). Numbers is a very poor substitute for Excel (the free ones are better).
    And for all this you are expected to pay, whereas the other alternatives do a better job (with MS Office files) without a financial insult.
    If Office is not in the equation I recommend iWork.

  • Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

  • I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick.  I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download.  In non technical terms please!

    How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro?  I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time.  I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

    I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade".  So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it?  I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download.  I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
    I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

  • Mavericks default location for "save as" on word and excel

    Having just installed Mavericks, it appears that if I open a Word or Excel file, and then go to "save as", rather than defaulting the save as location to the location the original file came from, it is now defaulting to my top level Documents folder. Is there any way of changing this back to how it used to be?

    It seems that adobe reader saves to the location from where it was installed originally.
    I saved the installer to my desktop and now when i open pdf files in ie and save them, they are saved to desktop

  • HT2506 how do I make preview the default reader when I open a file? I just installed Icloud and Microsoft word and excel are still the default.

    I just installed icloud. Afterwards I am having trouble opening files becasue Microsoft excel and word aren't working now. How do I change the default to preview to open files?

    Do I have to do this for each file? 
    When someone sends me a file created in Excel, can my computer default to opening it wit Numbers?
    Thanks, your fix worked for the individual file.

  • Opening files in Word and Excel - blank or nothing at all

    Hi all,
    I am a newbie to Mac (going on my third week) and am having problems with MS Office documents and spreadsheets. Most of the time opening a .doc from Finder will result in a "cloud" but Word does not open. The same with Excel. Sometimes Word opens in a blank document, but mostly nothing at all. Sometimes it works out just fine. I haven't been able to figure it out.
    If I open the same document from Word (File-Open), then it always works just fine. The same happens with email documents, the file downloads but nothing else happens.
    Any ideas where the problem might be?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Until you resolve this issue, and I would point out that MS Office has never really played well with Leopard, you might consider using OpenOffice and/or NeoOffice, both of which are 99.99% MS Office compatible, they have no Leopard issues and they are both free.
    Once I began using them I never looked back at MS Office, not even on my PCs.

  • Anyone notice Powerpoint, Word and Excel do not work after Lion install?  Is there a work around?

    I just upgraded to Lion.  Now when I try to open Word, Powerpoint or Excel I get an error which says: You can't open the applicatoin Microsoft Excel because Power PC appliactions are no longer supported.
    Has anyone seen this?  Is my software too old or do I need another software upgrade?
    Thank you

    You software is too old. You need to move to Office 2008, 2011 or use iWork or use Open Office (or Libre Office, or NeoOffice, etc.)

  • I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe
    I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
    Please help!?

    Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem.  But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry.  If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

  • If i upgrade to maverick will i lose my microsoft word and excel for apple

    If I upgrade to maverick will I lose my installed Office Word and Excel for Mac

    You shouldn't, but it would be a really good idea to make a clone of your existing installation using Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading. That way if you have any issues with Mavericks it's very easy to go back. Without the clone it's a lot more difficult.

  • Word and Excel 2010 keep asking me to log into SharePoint.

    I had Office 2010 beta running on Windows 7.  At one point, I opened a file from a SharePoint site by mistake.  I got the Beta to stop asking me about logging
    into this SharePoint site. 
    Last week, I un-installed the beta and installed the released version of Office 2010.
    Now, when I have any documents opened in either Word or Excel, I am being asked to log into the old SharePoint site - every 5 minutes. 
    The only place I have been able to find anything related to SharePoint is under Outlook, file, info, account settings.  The old site was listed under SharePoint
    lists - I deleted that. There was also a Data File that had the SharePoint site as the location - I deleted that.
    Word and Excel are still asking me to authenticate to the SharePoint site - I don't use any SharePoint sites.
    HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for using 
    Office 2010 Setup and Deployment forum. 
    From your description, I understand that you had Office 2010 beta and opened a file from a
    SharePoint site by mistake. Then you set Office 2010 beta stop asking for log in in this SharePoint site. Now you installed the RTM version of Office 2010. However, when you open any documents in Word or Excel, you are asked to log in the old SharePoint site.
    If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
    If SharePoint Shared Workspace is enabled in Word or Excel, this may prompt users with a Windows login if users do not have permissions to access or create a Shared
    Workspace. We can do the following steps to turn this off:
    ===============
    1.      
    Open
    Word
    2.      
    Click
    Files > Options > Advanced
    3.      
    Under
    General, click Service Option.
    4.      
    Click
    Shared Workspace.
    5.      
    Uncheck box that says
    “The document is part of a Workspace or SharePoint Site.”
    6.      
    Click
    OK to save the settings.
    Similar steps to do this in Excel.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
    you, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Sally Tang
