Microsoft for mac 08 wont open

ok....there's been a slight problem that's been annoying me for a while. i did an update for word 08, and ever since then, when i try to open word, this stupid customer experience improvement program thing pops up. i've said no, didn't open word. i said yes, and it still wont open!! and it asks for updates to every single time i open it, when i clearly tell it not to, and it STILL wont open word. so basically i can't open word whatsoever. help?? and same goes for powerpoint, excel, etc.. they all wont open!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you should really consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they would be more focused on the issue than an Apple forum:

Word 2011 for mac wont open on pc

I have tried to open files on my PC at work that I have created or edited on my Mac Pro - Office 2011. However, when I do I get an error code saying
Word cannot start the converter mswrd632.wpc. I have been able to solve this problem on other computers I have at home as I can download the file format convertors from windows that corrects this problem, however I do a lot of work both at home and work and cannot download above file as I do have the administrator rights.Any one got any ideas . They will open on PC at work if I save file as rich text format and tried saving as a word 97-2004 file but this will not work either. love my macbook but this is driving me insane.
Please help

Hi,
I'm a bit late but I'm faced the same problem too :
- when you try to open a Word Document (.doc) saved with Word 2011 Mac, you get the mswrd632 error with Word 2002 (or later)
- even with the Microsoft Fix it does not work.
Solution :
-On your Mac, when you "save as ..", click the compatibility report. it will say that you have the Word 6.0/95 compatibility mode, you have to change it in compatibility preference dialog box.
See the link : http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/setting-compatibility-preferences-in-word- for-mac-.html
Change the combo "recommanded options For" to Microsoft Word X 2000/2004
- Go To Save As again, save the document under a new one. Do not just do the save command, it won't work.
Hope this help.

I transferred/migrated my files from my old 08 macbook 13" notebook to my new Macbook pro and now my Adobe programs and Microsoft for mac are not working. do I have to reinstall the programs?

I have recently purchased a new macbook pro, I had a macbook 13" notebook from 2008 and I trasnferred all of my files using the migration assistant. It said the transfer was completed and everything looked fine. but when I try to open my CS4 photoshop, illustrator, indesign or my microsoft for mac programs they crash. did the files not transfer correctly? do I have to reinstall them? do I need to wipe my mac and start again to clean out all of the transferred files?

If you still have your old MacBook, You can put the software installers in and image the discs using isk Utility and then copy them to your new MacBook Pro via a flash drive and install them from the disc images.
Another option is that you can connect it to your new mac in target Disk mode. Then you can use the DVD drive that is in the MacBook to install the software. To do this you would need a firewire cable plugged into your old MacBook and connect that to a Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor that is connected to your new MacBook Pro.

Since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than this one, which is dedicated to using Mac/Windows compatibility.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

HT1338 I have Microsoft for Mac 2011 on my OSX Lion. I want to take advantage of Word Art and be able to flip text to print on fabric. Can't seem to find how to do this... Help, please!

I need to make t shirts for a family reunion. I cannot reverse the text (so the letter will print on a T shirt correctly). I have tried everything including u-tube videos. I could swear I have seen graphics (such as various banners on Word Art as shown on u tube videos) on one of my toolbars but cannot locate them now (would like to use them also).
Is anyone familiar with Microsoft for Mac 2011? I also have an HP Photosmart printer that should be able to reverse print but that too is defeating me but I don't give up...
Thanks for any suggestions!

For any object (photo, WordArt, etc.), right click on the object and choose Format Shape. Choose 3-D Rotation in the left column. In the X field, type 180 and press tab. Click OK to accept the change. Here, I reversed some WordArt text.

Microsoft for Mac documents are not compatible with PC versions

THIS IS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL PLEASE HELP!!!
I love Apple computers, but I may not be able to get one for my next laptop because of compatibility problems with Microsoft for Mac. Whenever I work on something for school on my Mac using word or PowerPoint, I'll bring it to school on a USB the next day, and the font, layout (and in PowerPoints, the timing) will all have changed. It annoys me so much!!! My Microsoft for Mac is completely updated so why isn't the latest version for Mac compatible with the latest version for PC?? It doesn't make SENSE!
If someone could help that would be really great.

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

Should I be running some kind of protection from spyware, adaware, virus on my iMac? I also have Microsoft for Mac (Word, Excel, Outlook) on my computer

The AppStore version of ClamXav does not have a real-time scanning capability, if you think you need that. You can download the full version from here, which is also free.
If you are asking if Sophos is free, the one downloaded from here is.
SInce you seem to be asking everybody, I don't recommend any particular one over the other. I have both installed on this computer along with VirusBarrier X5 and MacScan. I don't currently use any of them routinely, but they are here if I should ever need them. Real-time scanning is turned off, but I keep all but VB up-to-date (my VB subscription expired a few years ago).
Full disclosure: I do uncompensated tech support for the ClamXav Forum.

Is Microsoft for Mac leopard compatible?

Is Microsoft for Mac leopard compatible?

Thanks for the quick responses...
I was refering to the "MS office suite" of products"; Word, Excel etc...
It is good to hear that they run on Leopard...
Sortof funny that windoze works when some native apps don't
Now it's just a matter of waiting for SuperDuper, then I might consider upgrading.
I have the family pack disk ready to go...

Microsoft for mac issues( cloned hard drive)

I replaced my hard drive. I cloned it to my new hard drive. But now my Microsoft for mac is asking for the product key. I went into a back up pulled out the plist file and placed into the library on my new hard drive. But still nothing. Anybody have any tricks?

Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

Cannot Interact with Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac after Opening

After I open Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac, either by opening a .docx file or opening Word from the Applications folder, I am not able to interact with the application whatsoever. Selecting its icon in the dock does not bring any of its windows to the front, nor does it show the Word menu at the top; instead, it still shows the menu of whatever application was previously selected. But the windows do exist if I move other windows out of the way. If I do get to a Word window, I cannot click on anything, select anything, resize it, close it, or scroll.
Other info: If I click and hold the Word icon in the doc, the menu displays as if the application were functioning normally; it does not show a Force Quit option, as it would if Word were frozen. I do not see any dialogue boxes or anything that would take the focus away from the other windows.
Background: I was able to successfully use Word without any problems before today, using the same installation of the application, same computer, and same operating system. I also never had this problem before Mavericks, though, as I said before, I didn't always have this problem in Mavericks.
How do I get Word to function normally again? Thanks for any help you can provide!

After letting Word run for quite a while, a popup window told me there was an issue with the database. I opened the Microsoft Database Utility and rebuilt the database. It seems to be working fine now.
