Microsoft office and Outlook not responding at launch

Hello.
I have a brand new macbook pro running OS X version 10.8.2 and have just downloaded the Microsoft office 2011 package including Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook and Lync.
Microsoft Word crashes at launch every time I try to load it.  It simply freezes at the welcome screen and appears to be loading indefinately.
Instead of a welcome screen, the top bar of microsoft outlook loads and then freezes in a similar fashion.
Excel, powerpoint and Lync seem to work fine.
One other thing, the microsoft programs fail to load if another microsoft program is already running - is this normal behavior?!
Help appreciated!
Cheers.
Joe.

You should try asking Office for Mac questions in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out. They may be able to provide a quicker answer. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • Office 2013 outlook (not responding) opening attachments over a WAN link

    Before I get to the question I'll give you some info about our arcitecture.
    We have 7 remote sites each with 5mb connections.
    5-10 computer at each site
    We are running exchange 2010 centrally from one server on a 20mb connection.
    All clients are running windows 7 64bit with office 2013
    We recetly upgraded from office 2003 to 2013 when this problem started.
    If a user clicks on an attachment from one of our remote sites, and if the attachment is larger than 150kb the outlook client displays (not responding) for up to two minutes.  If you wait long enough the attachment will open without error.  It
    doesnt matter if its a word docuemnt, PDF, JPG they all respond the same.  There are several active application add-ins running I have not tried to disable  any of them yet.
    Acrobat PDFMaker office com addin
    Lync meeting addin for microsoft office 2013
    microsoft exchange addin
    microsoft sharepoint server colleague import addin
    microsoft vba for outlook addin
    onenote notes about outlook items
    outlook social connector 2013
    symantec endpoint protection outlook addin
    I should also mention theres plenty of bandwidth free at both ends of the pipe.  Moving the same file size accross the network literally takes only takes a second or less.
    How can I go about troubleshootng this issue further?
    Has anyone else experieced this?
    What have you done to fix it?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that all attachments in Outlook are opened slowly since updating Outlook 2003 to 2013. Please confirm whether all users encounter this issue. Also check whether the issue continues in cached mode and in OWA.
    Based on your post, I suggest we can try to disable the following add-ins to check whether the issue persists:
    Acrobat PDFMaker office com addin
    symantec endpoint protection outlook addin
    If there is any updates, please feel free to let us know.
    Thanks,

  • Microsoft Office Project is not responding

    When the user is using Microsoft project, suddenly it stops responding.
    The user has to close it and restart project and after few minutes it happens.
    The problem appears also only when the user is using project files from an intranet SharePoint site.
    Error message: Microsoft Project stop working. ( the standard error message)
    please help. Thank you.

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, we may go to File, Options, add-Ins and where it says Manage ( Com Add- ins) click the Go button and make sure the Bluetooth option is not selected first.
    Then, we'd better collect the detailed information.
    Collect the ULS log from SharePoint.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/opal/archive/2009/12/22/uls-viewer-for-sharepoint-2010-troubleshooting.aspx
    Go the Event Viewer and get the Project client Event log.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-information-event-logs-event-viewer#1TC=windows-7
    We could analyse the log ourselves or upload them in the thread.
    Hope it's helpful.

  • After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and in my email i can't select anything with the mouse

    After installing acrobat my Microsoft office package does not work properly, word will not open and when I want to write an email in my outlook email i can't select anything with the mouse. so copy past en delete are not an option.@

    Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test:  Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker.  Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
    Did you attempt to repair MS Office?  Test:  Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
    Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker?  Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker.  See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

    mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit in the Activities Monitor.  When I quit or go into the Activities monitor and try to quit, it goes off, briefly, then immediately relaunches.  If i turn the computer off, and then on, iTunes launches automatically.  ITunes 10.4.  The only thing I remember doing different, lately, is I just updated a couple of days ago.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Thanks!

    There should be a place to register in which you could enter your code. It may only ask you to register after the thirty days, I can't recall.

  • Send mail to sap office and outlook at same time

    Hi guru,
    Is it possible to send a mail from workflow to sap office and outlook at the same time?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    No you can do with one.
    You have to do this configuration.
    Go to SO16-> Mail Sy Grp->Select Send to home addresses of users
    Use
    The messages that are sent to users in this SAP System are forwarded to the users' home addresses. The home address of a user can be the Internet address of their mailbox in an external mail system (for example, Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes).
    Dependencies
    The home address of each user is specified in the address management for every communication method used. In the case of a mail system group, only the home address that is specified for the standard communication method of a user is of importance. The messages are forwarded to this address.
    You have to reset the address buffer on the tab page Adressing in order for address changes to become effective directly.
    Thanks

  • I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

    I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says.  This application must be closed ETC.....   I am running Parralell and I think it is there.  The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent".  How do I close these programs?

    If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
    Parallels has a forum here:
    http://forum.parallels.com/forum.php
    I think you'll get a faster response there.

    The volume up and down controls on my wireless keyboard show a no entry sign and do not respond when used...please help?

    If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys.  I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

    Spark is a powerful, and easy Shortcuts manager. With Spark you can create Hot Keys to launch applications and documents, execute AppleScript, control iTunes, and more...

  • Microsoft Exchange and Outlook "requesting data.. error message.

    I have a customer experiencing problems with their Microsoft Exchange and Outlook clients running across a newly installed ATM WAN. I have a 3 MB IMA circuit at the host as well as the remote. On a frequest basis the clients will get the requesting data from Exchange server error message. Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?

    Exchange server was original designed as a LAN application, thus the RPC protocol. Since you are running across a slow WAN (latency is not LAN like) you can only adjust/eliminate the message via the Registry, or better yet a Group Policy;
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;293650
    The messages become more prevalent with large number of users, slow hardware, and with Outlook 2003. The move to RPC over HTTP (2003 Exchange and Outlook 2003) might reduce chatter.

  • I have an iMac with Microsoft Office and an HD - Time Machine. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I want to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff the Microsof Office will work or if I need to reinstall it with another licence ?

    I have an iMac with Microsoft Office (and several other licenced softs) and an HD - Time Machine that backup all the stuff. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I would to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff, the Microsof Office will work normally or if I need to reinstall it with another licence?

    You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.
    Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine. You may need help figuring out how to restore your current backup to a new machine.

  • HT1338 microsoft office 2008 is not working with Lion

    My Microsoft office 2008 is not working, it gives me a message that this program is in use in another computer on my network.
    Is there any way to fix this issue?

    That is the copy protection scheme that Microsoft employs. Each Office program sends out it's license code to your network. When you start an Office program, it looks for other Office programs with same code operating and prevents you from using it.
