Microsoft Office 2011 Font Issues with Yosemite Upgrade

My firm's standard font (Din) is no longer recognized by Microsoft Office applications, as it was with Mavericks and previous. Thinking it was a font issue, I tested out TTF and OTF files with no luck. Has anyone been experiencing font problems and is there a workaround?

The quality will be the same. The quantity might be different. The special upgrade promotion offer is for will allow you to download Office 2011. Sometimes, to reduce the file size, the downloaded version doesn't come with all the extras that the CD version does.
I think the licensing is the biggest hassle. When you need to reinstall, you enter your license key and then it may ask for your Office 2008 license key too. Sometimes the installer will try to scan your disk to make sure you have installed the old version too.
Of course, all of this is just speculation on my part based on past experiences with similar products. The full version will be available in four weeks. I already have Office 2008 and plan to upgrade as soon as I can.

Microsoft Office 2011 Compatibility Issue

I have experienced problems with Microsoft Office since upgrading to Mavericks -- specifically Word, which is the only Office application that I use regularly. Since upgrading, Word crashes when I go to open (most, although not all) existing Word files.
The "Problem Report for Microsoft Word" message I get is as follows:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000001cbd6000
Notably, this problem only affects my primary workstation, which is a Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon desktop system. I don't seem to have the problem on my (2011) Macbook Pro.
I have already downloaded the Microsoft Office 2011 Suite and reinstalled it. No help. Thoughts? This is fairly annoying and at times debilitating.
Thanks -- Keith.

Thanks Varjak. I'm willing to download and reinstall Office again, but I'm not sure what "support files" you're referencing here. Please advise.
Also, I do not use Font Book, I use Linotype Font Explorer X Pro. I regularly delete font caches and remove duplicate fonts, etc.
While you may not be experiencing any issues with Office in Mavericks on your systems, problems aren't unique to me. There are other discussions on Apple Forums. Here's one conclusion:

Re: are there any issues with Mavericks OS with Office for Mac

It is a widespread issue and yes there are problems with Office 2011 but Microsoft will not address them.
I believe I have a better chance of solving the problem by querying other Apple users who work in a similar environment.
Thanks.

Fontographer PS fonts issue with Yosemite

I have created a number of PS fonts (.otf) with Fontagrapher 5. They have been working flawlessly ever since on my MacBook Air (mid 2012) 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
Since moving yesterday from Mavericks to Mac OS X Yosemite, things are terrible. All fonts created with Fontographer are not displaying and printing correctly …. my 6 indian music books and numerous documents in hindi/english diacritical are thus unusable. I tried with Nisus Writer Pro, Text Edit and Mellel to no avail.
Checking with the Apple software FontBook, it says all my Fontographer Fonts are « usable » (green ok check) and that there is no conflict/problem. To be sure, I removed all factory fonts which could potentially make problems (orange warning), rebooted the Mac but, despite that, nothing works properly. Fonts are incredibly SCRETCHED on display (space between characters is huge) and some of them don't print as they are displayed. I also naturally updated the printer (Xerox Work Center 6605 DN) driver to the latest Yosemite compatible version (oct.16, 2014) but that doesn't change anything. I also tried different ways of making pdf from the different word processors but the same thing occured on pdf.
Please, kindly check and inquire about this important issue with Apple fonts experts. Number of us, using Fontographer Fonts, must be facing the same incompatibility with Yosemite.
Please do let me know what I can do to solve the problem. I don't even know how I can downgrade to Maverick yet.
Thanking you in advance for a quick reply

Well, Kurt Lang did solve my problem and I won't ever be enough thankful to him. He tried one of my font and took the time to examine it with FontLab Studio. In case other persons experiment the same type of troubles, I am pasting the mail I got (along with the corrected font) for info :
Hi Patrick,
I did find one issue in particular. OpenType fonts should have a UTM setting of 1000. These were at 2048. So I changed those and had FontLab Studio rebuild the names (I just let it do its thing).
The originals you had sent wouldn’t even appear in Office 2011. The rebuilt ones do, though for whatever reason, bold italic won’t show. However, you can click the italic and bold buttons and the correct font is used. Otherwise, the new fonts all work as expected in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, TextEdit and others. I tested them in both Mavericks and Yosemite.
Can’t guarantee success, but give these a shot.
Kurt
That guy is an angel. He spent a tremendous amount of time examining, testing on Mavericks and Yosemite and on several apps until resolving the problem. Too helpful, too nice and too competent. That's a treat.

Microsoft office 2011 downloading issue for version 14.3.9, not fully download or installing

Hello all,
So over the last couple of month for some reason my IMac, mid 2011 has been having problems with the software I use on a regular basis. Microsoft Office Mac 2011 has been acting up, only the word app is malfunctioning. If you were typing a paper it would automatically stop and the program itself would act like you are on a different window, so you would have to click on the page you were typing on to continue writing a paper. I had even noticed this in Safari where I would have to search for what ever topic I was looking for for a school paper and halfway through the typing in the URL box you would have to click on the page opened and retype everything into the URL box. I have gone through the disk utility and there seems to be a couple of problems with one program and many this not being what they are supposed to be I will continue this until I can get more ideas throughout the discussion. Office update 14.3.9 starts to download but three-quarters of the way it restarts and searches for the update again. This has happened at least the last 8 times, even after doing through disk utility. No I do not have a time capsule or anything, but I will be getting something towards the end of the week to back up my files and such. Does anyone have any ideas that could possibly help the malfunction of this. I love this mac and was surprise that this problem was encountered, kind of having to use my PC for some applications for my classes and would love to be able to use the mac again. Any suggestions or ideas, are greatly apprieciated.

Alright since I have posted this and not hearing from anyone I went ahead and took it to the Apple store after buying a external sotrage for my time machine (pretty cool deal, I think). Only to find out that noting is wrong when they hooked it up and kept it for two days to see if anyhting else was wrong (saved some money everything was free). Funny thing is when I was explaining what I was experiencing everything worked fine at the store, it even downloaded the update for microsoft word 2011. Went onto the internet and nothing happened, even opened up word and typed for a while and nothing happened either unti I got home again and it all started again. I am still confused so since then I bought a new router thinking that was the problem. Nope. stilling doing it so I researched more and found out that it could be something in my user profile that is causing the issue and possiblity of my internet connection which is DSL, and everything was working fine prior to the issue at hand. So I set up another account on the mac and surfed the web, could not do word though becuase it is only in my wife and I's accounts. So I will have to try that out. But everything worked fine net document ans such. I have been trying to figure out what software could be posing the problem. I want to unistall but am afriad to do so I have reinstalled office for mac 2011 before I brought it into the Apple store, and have deleted some app games from the system and its still is doing the same thing. A coworker asked what types of keyboards and mouses. I am using to include my trackpad which is only turn on if the mouse battery dies on me. All my gear is bluetoothed based except for the external harddrive which is usb and a second monitor. I will have to do more researching, but if anyone has any ideas on what I can do more I would love to fix this issue soon.

Microsoft Office 2011 not working with Mountain Lion

I just upgraded to mountain lion last night.... I can not access anything in my microsoft 2011 suite that has been installed on my macbook for about a year. I get a microsoft error reporting pop up and will not open. It stops on "Opening font 16%" on the microsoft startup......?
How do I fix this?

I also came to the conclusion that it must be a font issue, but i've got hundreds of non-standard fonts that i use... time to clean house! Thanks for the tip.

Microsoft Office 2011 plugin unavailable with Acrobat Pro X??

I just installed Acrobat Pro X, then uninstalled Acrobat Pro 8.
Now when I open Microsoft Word, I still have the acrobat toolbar, but I can't create any PDF, clicking doesn't have any effect.
Is the plugin for MS Office present in the installer? I don't find it in the About plugin dialog.
cheers

Hi there Alan,
Unfortunately, there is no PDFMaker plugin available for Office 2011 w/ Acrobat X. I'm surprised to hear that you're seeing an Acrobat PDFMaker ribbon at all as even with Acrobat 8, the newest version of Office the ribbon was compatible with was 2004.
Did you uninstall Acrobat 8 before installing Acrobat X?
Please refer to the following document from our knowledgebase for more information:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333504.html
If you are running Mac OS 10.6, please refer to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html for more information on how to create PDF files.
Thanks,
David

Microsoft Office 2011 not working with OSX Mavericks

Hello,
I downloaded OSX Mavericks within the past two or three days, and I've been able to use Microsoft Word just fine. I tried opening PowerPoint today and it crashed, so I updated the Microsoft Office package. Now, I cannot open anything but Messenger.

Went through this exact problem two weeks ago.
Basically, when I installed I then updated and only Word would open correctly. After calling the help desk and going through a ton of suggestions we got it to work by doing update 14.1.0 and then opening Word and updating to 14.1.2. This fixed my problem and it hasn't repeated... and I use the whole office suite daily.
IIRC it was the 14.1.2 update after 14.1.0 that did it, however you can call Microsoft support... just make sure you have about 45 minutes available if you have to do some serious troubleshooting if the two updates don't fix it for you. Keep in mind this worked for me so YMMV.

How do I fix trackpad issues with Yosemite upgrade

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and am having trackpad and keyboard issues. I read the message boards and tried adjusting settings but still very erratic behavior-making my macbook pro unusable. I tried to re-install the os but no help. I hooked up a mouse and still performs the same as trackpad.
Any fixes out there?
Thanks

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. A defective peripheral device or a damaged cable can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using any wired peripherals, disconnect them one at a time and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

[solved] Wifi and Video /Audio issues with Yosemite upgrade

Apple support recommend you call them to solve your issue as they want to report all instances to engineering. They solved my issue (for now)
Symptoms on Macbook Pro Retina 16GB 512GB SSD - late 2013 :
1. any online audio or video stutters when playing - Youtube, Vimeo etc
2. wifi cuts out - only reconnects if I turned off/on wifi
3. Bluetooth keyboard / magic mouse disconnects
Allegedly, during the update, something can happen with users accounts freezing. Therefore, a simple fix solves the issues:
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Start Mac holding down SHIFT key (until desktop appears) - log in with your problem user account (Safe mode for those not familiar)
3. Open Safari and navigate to Youtube - I played a video - the sound was not available but does not matter.
4. Shut down Mac
5. Start Mac in normal mode
All should be fine now. If not call Apple support - that's what they suggest

Will my Microsoft office 2011 work when I upgrade to Mountain lion?

I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro snow leopard (10.6.8) to Mountain Lion, but I am unsure if my Microsoft Office 2011 will work when i upgrade. I do not want to end up buying it again.

Tested, works fine.

Can't open Microsoft Office 2011 even after unistalling then reinstalling. Error message comes up before launch. What do I do? Can I fix this? I need to activate Microsoft Office within 15 days!!

I recently got a new MacBook Pro Running on OSX Mavericks and used Time Machine to move my documents and applications. However Microsoft Office Student/ Home applications did not work and requested a product key. I did not have the product key for it as I had installed Microsoft a long time ago, so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office. Everything installed fine, however when I go to open it it failed to open.
I need to activate my Microsoft Office within 15 days apparently and this is done when the application is launched. However none of the Microsoft Office applications do Launch (not Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook).
Whenever I tried to open one of the named above the Microsoft Error Reporting App would pop up and list the errors. I was advised on other support pages to disenable this app so I have done that but now Word is now giving its own error message saying:
Process:
Microsoft Word [1380]
Path:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Word
Identifier:

Build Info:
Unknown-131030~0
Code Type:
X86 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [152]
Responsible:
Microsoft Word [1380]
I don't know or understand what is stopping me from launching my Misrosoft Office. I am wondering if others have encountered similar problems with OSX Mavericks and the Microsoft Office 2011? Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to launch?
I need to get hold of my Word and Powerpoint Documents ASAP.

Build Info:
Unknown-131030~0
This indicates you had a bad install. You need to completely remove Office and reinstall using your new CD Key. See instructions here. Do not do the simple remove, Use the COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FILES steps.
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office.
You don't purchase a PIN. A PIN is generated when you install Office. You need a CD Key. If you bought Office365, you activate online.
I have issues with the Microsoft User Data - are there supposed to be two? and where exactly do they belon. They are in the Documents file at the moment.
Unless you used Outlook or Entourage you can delete both Microsoft User Data folders. When you install Office it will create a new one. Only Outlook & Entourage used this folder for data. W,E,P stores it's data in the User's Library/Application Support/Microsoft folder now.

Outlook 2011 became slow with Yosemite when online

Dear all,
I have a iMac 24-inch, early 2009. (processor 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 Gbytes DDR3, NVDIA Ge Force GT 120 256 Mb, with HD SATA with 626,2 Gb free).
I install from scratch Yosemite (10.10) and also from scratch, Microsoft Office 2011.
Applied all the upgrades, 10.4.6 (service pack 3).
Set my account as usual.
Outlook opens without problem but at each "click" on a message, body of a message, calendar entries, etc.., I got the spinning cursor (rainbow colour) and keeps spinning for more than 15 seconds.
Also I have the same behaviour in my Mac Book Air (8 GB RAM, 512 SSD, Yosemite 10.10)
I notice that if my iMac is not connected to the internet, it is very fast. And when I change it status to online I starting having the same problems as described.
Is there anyone with the same behaviour? Any suggestion (remember, my installation is totaly done from scratch)
Thank you
Best Regards
Mario

Thank you Tim,
I will move it to iMac forum.
By the way MS Office is up to date.
Thank you
Best Regards,
Mário

Difficulties with Mac OS 10.9.2 and Microsoft Office 2011

I administer a high school writing center. We have the latest iMacs, Word 2011 (including the latest update), and we recently updated our OS from 10.8.4 to 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. On most of our 42 desktops—all set up the same way—the update(s) went fine. The students work from a student account. Word works fine from the Admin account. MS Office 2011 works great with 10.8.4 and 10.9.1—but not 10.9.2. Microsoft Error Reporting eventually kicks in and allows us to send the report to Microsoft, but we cannot launch any Office app.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I use Macs in my environment, and they run great. My site uses 1131 and 1231's, with EAP-FAST authentication. I did have a couple of strange issues though with Leopard, which I will share below:
1) With 10.5, I would have to turn my radion off & on to get it to associate. Once I upgraded to 10.5.2, it worked great.
2) With 802.1X based authenticaiton, the setup is a bit counter intuitive. I had ot make sure that I was selecting user based credentials for non-domain Macs. I would then delete the entry in my wireless sites that the 802.1X would enter, and recreate it to set the proper encryption scheme.
Hope that helps =)

Does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

...since upgrading from a Macbook pro to a retina pro (with the latest OS) I cannot get Outlook to work, it freezes when I try to add my email accounts info...
The latest OS is 10.8.2. You've posted in the Lion (OS 10.7.x) forum.
...I don't have a clue what can be going wrong, it was all working fine on my macbook pro with Snow Leopard and the same setup is not working with Mountain Lion on the retina, ...The only reason I upgraded from Office 2008 was because I couldn't get it to stop closing down every few seconds with 'a problem'...
Different operating systems canNOT be the "same setup."
In my original installation of Office 2011 on a 2007 MBP with OS 10.6.8, I followed the guidelines Tips for a Successful Install. In launching Outlook 2011 for the first time, it recognized that I had Entourage 2004 and I was chose the option to have all the data transferred to Outlook 2011. While that was well over a year ago, I'm fairly certain that I did not need to manually set up my multitude of existing email accounts. Subsequently, I've added new accounts. A couple of months ago, I got a new mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) with OS 10.7.4. I used Pondini's advice , which I found here in the Apple Support Community for OS 10.7, to setup the new MBP from the old MBP with Setup Assistant. Afterwards, I manually installed my applications. I am certain that I did not need to manually setup any email accounts when I launched Outlook 2011.
That said, if you did not fix the problem that you were experiencing with Office 2008 (and more specifically Entourgage 2008) but migrated that data to your new rMBR, then your problem may lie within the old data. You have not provided information on how you installed Office 2011, if your setup of Outlook is as new or datea ported from Entourage, and what troubleshooting steps you have tried. As Kurt Lang suggested, the Microsoft Community would be best with your specific issues as stated.
