Hi,
What is the version of Excel and Word ? Did you pay Microsoft to use the products ?

Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do? The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
Hope this helps

Microsoft Excel and Word keeps showing an error message and shutting down

Please help!
Microsoft Office - Home and Student 2013 on a Windows 8 laptop (Acer Aspire V5)
I keep trying to open Microsoft Excel and if I try and open an existing document or create a new one I get a message "Microsoft Excel has detected a problem". After a moment I then get the message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working - A problem
has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried the usual, shut down and start again, uninstalled and installed office again, been on the control panel in programs
and clicked on changes. its been through the Microsoft update 4 times now and it still isn't working.
Any ideas please.

Hi
Did the issue still occur when you close your antivirus software?
Try opening word or excel in safe mode.
Click Win+R, type winword /safe or
excel /safe.
Go to file>options>add-ins and select
COM add-ins, uncheck the add-ins.
If it doesn’t work, we recommend you check the issue in clean-boot,
For detailed information about clean-boot, refer to the following link:

Do new Imacs come with Microsoft Excel and Word for Mac installed?

Or do I have to order it in the options when I go to get a new Imac? I use Excel and Word spreadsheets. Thanks.

No.
You would have to purchase these separately through either the Mac App Store, Microsoft or through a third party software sales vendor.
OR you can purchase through the Mac App Store iWork suite of apps that includes Pages (word processor/page layout app) Numbers ( spreadsheet app) and Keynote ( slide and audio/video presentation software).

Trying to launch microsoft excel and file could not be found

installed microsoft office 2011 on a new macbook pro, word, powerpoint launch but am unable to launch excel
the error message is the file could not be accessed

This is a glitch that can happen sometimes during software update; no license file / agreement is required to install Firefox.
You can try deleting some files as described at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly and then retry the update.
Or you can just download and install the latest stability update to 3.5.x from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Excel (and Word) will not open.

If I try to open Excel with a previous workbook, I get the error message that Excel has stopped working, it searches for a solution but has to close. If I try to open Excel from the app menu (I'm using Windows 8) I get the error:
"Excel can not complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close applications"
There were NO other applications open.

Hi,
Please take a look at below KB article, follow the steps mentioned in it troubleshoot the Available Resources errors in Excel:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2779852
(Although this article was written for Excel 2007 & 2010, the steps also apply to Excel 2013)
Please try Method 4 to disable the Preview/Details Pane though you are using Windows 8, and then check result.
Note it's a little bit different to disable the preview/Details Pane in Excel 2013: Click FILE->Open->Computer->Browser, click Origanize->Layout, Uncheck Details Pane and Preview Pane.

Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

Hello,
I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

I just updated to Lion and my Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint will not open because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I bought this software from Apple and the store installed it when I bought the MAC. What do I do?

Buy version 2011 of MS Office.
Or you can download OpenOffice, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, which all come very close to working with MS files just like MS Office does.
Or iWord, I have heard, you can purchase.

To detail the steps, please do as I describe:
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
To open the Registry Editor, please press Win + R, type regedit in the blank box, press
Enter. / Or we can type regedit.exe in Windows 8.1 Search, you'll find it easily.
Now the Registry Editor is open.
Then we see the pane on left, expand the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Then we can see a list on right, find Cache, right click on it, click
Modify..., under Value data, change the value to something like
C:\Windows\Temp, click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
As for "You might also right click on the file with file explorer, choose Properties, then General tab and click on the Unblock button." Just find the file, right click on it, choose
Properties, under General tab, if you see a
Unblock button, click on it.
"Some of our customers found it sometimes a permission problem.
cmd => dcomcnfg" Do the following:
Press Win + R, type in cmd in the blank box, press
Enter.
In the new black-background window, type in dcomcnfg, press
Enter.
Then the Component Services window will pop up, on the left pane, expand
Component services -> Computes ->
My Computer -> Dcom config -> and select
Microsoft Excel Application, right click on it -> Properties ->
Identity tab -> Select The interactive user ->
OK.
I hope I've explained the steps clearly.
Good luck.

I need a programme which enables microsoft excel and microsoft word to work on my mac

I need to find a programme which will enable me to use microsoft excel and work on my apple computer, what is the cheapest way of putting compatible software.

Free:
http://www.libreoffice.org/
However, what you can do depends on your iMac and Mac OS version. The pre-2006 imac this forum serves cannot run many of the newer programs. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and tell us what Mac OS version it shows and the Processor description.

Can i use other application on ipad such as microsoft excel or word? how?

can i use other application on ipad such as microsoft excel or word? how?

'Normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software do not work on the iPad (iOS), they are different operating systems. You can only install apps from the iTunes App Store on your computer or the App Store app directly on your iPad.
Numbers (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numbers/id361304891?mt=8) and Pages (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8) are two options, as are third-party apps such as Documents To Go :
'normal' version : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8
premium version : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-premium-office/id317107309?mt=8

Microsoft Excel 2013 add-in not working after update

I have originally posted this question at answers.microsoft.com and have been re-directed to post here. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-not-working-after/298aff03-c90a-4a2a-b67b-07b6f3c7648c)
We are an organization with over 200 users and are currently using Microsoft Office 2013 (Click-to-run install via Office 365 portal), we have noticed that in Excel when we apply the monthly Office update, the add-in (e.g. Analysis Toolpak) would stop working
with the following error message displayed.
I tried updating from 15.0.4631.1004 to 15.0.4641.1003,
15.0.4641.1003 to 15.0.4649.1004, they all gave the same results.
I have checked the captioned file path and it is indeed missing, I think the update mechanism messed up the add-in somehow, a full re-install would fix it as quick or online repair is not doing the trick. This is not the only add-in it is affecting
as there are some 3rd party add-ins are affected as well.
Please advise how we can fix this without needing to re-install Microsoft Office. Thank you!

I don't have 365 or C2R so I can't address your main question, so just a few thoughts which may not be applicable in your setup.
Check the addin manager to see if your addins are listed and ticked. If listed (ticked or not) check the registry to see where the location is written, if ticked look here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
and look for keys named OPENx, where x is the order number the addin is loaded
if not "ticked" instead of \Options look in \Add-in-Manager
With a VBA macro or in the VBE's immediate window return
Application.LibraryPath
Assuming you found a listing in the registry do the paths match, if not look in the .LibraryPath to see if the addins got unloaded there into the subfolder \Analysis
If you find the file(s) try un-installing and reinstalling the addins, but browse to the actual folder don't simply tick. If you can't find the files, copy them (from a different system) to the folder indicated by .LibraryPath. In the addin manager uninstall
them if installed, close the manager, open it again and the addins should be listed, tick to re-install.
You say your other addins don't work, I wonder if some mixup has occurred with what Excel thinks is the default path, but note for other addins the default addins path is returned by app.UserLibraryPath
Are you using a Chinese system?

I want to get an app where i can work power point, excel, and word?

i heard about keynote, numbers, and letters. I tried to find it, but i couldnt. Thank you for your patience and effort,

I would suggest using Office for Mac and you need to buy it at a physical Apple store or downlaod from Microsoft. It is a fully functioning and compatible with MS Office. It's about 150$.
I tried the various Apple products - like Numbers- and they are not as sophisticated as the Office products. As well, if you are going to store Office products in the Apple icloud then they get converted to the various Apple i-products - ugh, it make s a mess.
So I store all my Powerpoint, Excel and Word documents on Skydrive cloud where they are stored as native office products.
Cheers

Excel and Word 2011 crash on opening

I'm not sure if this is a more common issue from earlier versions of office, but with the combination of Lion and Office 2011 I am having repeated issues. For reference I am using a new Mac Air i5 with plenty of disk space and memory.
In summary, Excel and Word worked for a while, but once a file crashes for some reason then I cannot open either application at all - just stuck in the endless loop of crash on attempting open and then re-open to no effect.
I have tried several solutions including:
- complete office re-install (worked for a few days until the next crash)
- holding "shift" (no effect)
- deleting temp files and plist files following online forum advice (no effect)
Note: I am not using complex excel files with macros (etc), just dropbox copies of simple spreadsheets.
Can anyone else offer an alternative solution?

Hi!
I got this crash as well. followed the instructions to delete the plist file and holding the shiftkey did not work for me. The is the bit that bites...removed Office 2011 as per instructions and still only Excel does not work.
Anyone know of a solution? Seems like the latest update on my machine was a Java update from Apple.
Here is my error log.
