Microsoft Office 2011 on OS X Lion

I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 with my MacBook Air running OS X Lion. Wondering it always opens with the last document I used instead of a blank document/spreadsheet/presentation. Any ideas on why this happens and how to turn if off?

In System Preferences->General, uncheck:

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with mountain lion?

    Was wondering if Microsoft Office 2011 works with Mountain Lion since the 1997 version does not.

    Okay, I will try that.  It looks like I have installed it twice already.  An obvious novice. I will do it again though.

  • Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?, Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?

    My IT program needs Microsoft Office and it works on Windows. So I've had to adapt to how ti works on Mac but if it doesn't on OS Lion I'm stuffed. I wont be able to do homework, assignments or anything.

    Here's a novel idea - people have gone to the trouble to post lists and tables of Lion compatibility, tips on finding what programs used Rosetta / PowerPC and therefore would need upgraded.

    Hardware drivers for controllers, printers, scanners, may not be tested or ready, and some applications still need further testing. Some Mac Pro workstations (2009) seem to have a unique problem installing or upgrading to Lion.

    Will Microsoft Office 2011 work on my Mac?  (OS X Lion)

    well considering it's worked on Lion for over a year, I'd say yes.

    Microsoft Office 2011 no longer opens because "there is a problem" after updating mountain lion when the app store said there was an update available this morning. Reinstalling did not work. What's the problem?

    Has your problem been solved by the updates??
    Have a similar problem. This MacBook opened all MS Office programs in Dec2012 but no longer does in Feb2013. Went to Microsoft/mac/downloads but none of the three updates would run citing a problem "version of software needed to run this update was not found on this volume".

  • Microsoft Office 2011 won't work with Mountain Lion update

    I have an early 2011 version Macbook Pro.  Until yesterday I have been running Lion, I updated to Mountain Lion last night and now my Microsoft Office 2011 won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    When I try to open any MS Office program or file I get an error message that reads "Microsoft Office cannot open because of a problem.  Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft (Outlook, Word etc.) works with this version of OS X you may need to reinstall the application..."  the problem is I bought this Mac used and I don't have the disc to reinstall the application.   I've gone to the MS Office 2011 Mac website and downloaded a service pack and an update (the only two things available to me) but that still doesn't help.  Where would I find the update you are describing?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011.  I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message.  Suggestions?

    Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768.  I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate.  I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution.  Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind.  Hope this helps.  Cheers.

  • Lion / Microsoft Office 2011 problems

    have a new MacBook Air with Lion. If I am sent a document created in Word (Microsoft Office 2011) from another computer, I cannot use the Tab key or Autocorrect: the system freezes.  Any solution? Thanks

  • I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

    Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
    I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
    I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
    I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
    Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
    I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

  • Microsoft Office 2011, Microsoft Exchange 2003 and Lion

    I have recently upgraded to Office 2011 for Home and Business, and have a Macbook Air (July 2011 version) and am trying to log onto my work server using the VPN client that comes with Lion. The VPN client works fine, but Outlook doesn't appear to sync or download any of my mails, nothing appears to happen apart from when I send an email it comes up with an error.
    I used to have Entourage but the spotlight indexing search stopped working so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
    Thanks, Ian

    Yes, Office 2011 is compatable with Lion.

    Yes.  I ran it successfully on Mountain Lion and had no problems when I upgraded to Mavericks.  Be sure to apply the latest software updates.

  • Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

    Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
    Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

    Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.
