Microsoft Office Issues! :/ Help!!

I recently installed Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac on my Macbook Pro, and I'm having ISSUES!!! :/
1st Problem: With Microsoft Office installed, my dock is cluttered, so I want to remove the Microsoft icons from the dock and put them on the desktop. However, when I try this, none of the Microsoft Office programs will open! Instead, I get an error notification giving me the option to "relaunch" the application. Relaunching doesn't work, though. The same error notice keeps popping up, and the program never opens even when I click "reset and relaunch". The only way to get Microsoft Office to work again was to reinstall Microsoft Office. Why does this happen?! Must the icons stay on the dock?! Is there a way around this??
2nd Problem: I want to save my word documents as .doc files not .docx, and I want to save my Powerpoint files as .ppt not .ppx. However, when I try to save my documents/powerpoints as .doc/.ppt, the Microsoft program quits unexpectedly. Why can't I save my files in the old Microsoft format??!!
Thanks for the help.

1. Do not clutter your desktop with icons. It will eventually cause slow start ups. You can make the dock smaller to accommodate the icons if you wish or not have them there or not have all of them there at all. When you drag an icon out of the dock it goes "puff" and disappears.
2. Make sure you have the latest updates of Office.
3. If all else fails post in the http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/

Microsoft Office For Mac Os X & Microsoft Office 2003--Help Please!!!!!!

My new job requires me to be very familuar with Microsoft Office 2003 for Windows, however currently I use Mac os X. Can I learn office on the mac? How different is Microsoft Office Version X (the one I have now) versus Microsoft Office 2003 for windows. Thanks!!

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.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
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.

Microsoft office 2010 help

microsoft office 2010 keeps trying to make a internet connection for some sort of download, which i never approved of being since i have never used the microsoft office 2010 pre installed on my HP 2011x pc i deleted it where it just says microsoft office
on my programs the others click to run and click to run english 2010 i left alone. will it do anything to my microsoft word starter 2010 that i use often ? when writing a book on the word starter i figured this might be a need to know

Hi,
Microsoft Office Starter 2010 is a simplified, ad-funded version of Microsoft Office 2010 that comes pre-loaded and ready to use on your computer. Office Starter is different from the complete version of Office in that it includes just two productivity programs
(Word Starter and Excel Starter), and the interface includes display advertising.
And Office Starter uses Click-to-Run as its technology for installation and maintenance on your computer.

Microsoft Office Issue

I installed Lion on my computer and now microsoft Office is working properly. I have Microsoft office 2011. I can not send mail in Outlook. I keep getting an error.

Review this thread; https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4136482?start=0&tstart=0
"I had similar problems and what I did was go into Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Exchange > Edit SMTP Server list and then deleted the server I previously was using for my Exchange account (and any other legacy servers you may have in there). Then I re-added the server and made sure my Exchange account reflected the just added server."

Microsoft office issues with clients bound to my Open Directory Master

So i converted all of my clients from having a local account on there machine to being bound to my Open Directory Master with a home folder on the server. I deleted there local account on there client machine and then bound it and logged in with there server account. launch microsoft entourage,excel and word and i get weird errors when the applications launch. So i reinstalled on the local admin account of the client machine and all applications now work except for microsoft entourage.
I can set up an account... see my exchange email server but no email. nothing.. if i log the client machine out of the OD master account and log into a local account on the machine everything works fine. Am i missing something? i even set up for the user account in the allowed applications to run the microsoft office suite with no change.
thanks,
Jess

Note Microsoft Office does not support server-based home directories. You can use portable home directories which syncs stuff down to the client (like a roaming profile but "better" )
As far as errors with application launch, etc., check the permissions on the applications themselves. Office has an annoying habit of installing itself as the user who installs it (well, except Office 2008 which installs itself as user 502, always, lol). Ensure the permissions on the applications make sense -- this will take some command line use of chmod and chown.
Also ensure that your home directory permissions are mapped to the user you're logged in as. If you move from local accounts to server-based accounts the UID on the home directory will not automatically change properly, and Microsoft stores its stuff in ~/Documents/Microsoft Office Documents which will have the owner/permissions of who initially created that directory.

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following. 
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

How do I reinstall microsoft office 2011 on my computer?

HI,
I have bought Microsoft Office 2011 with my macbook. I factory reset it without backing up any application so I lost my office programs. I tried to reinstall two ways... One with the CD that came in the box, and online, but both had the same negative result.
I got terminal to open everytime I try to open the install folder in the .dmg file. I don't know how to reinstall Microsoft Office!
Help please!
Thanks.

This really is a user-to-user discussion forum for the MacBook Pro, specifically for hardware issues (thought we go off topic on occasion). You really need to take your question, if you have the product key, to the Microsoft website. They also have a vibrant discussion area, and I'm sure someone will help you. If you have the product key.

ADOBE / MICROSOFT OFFICE crashing | Finder Crashing | Quirks in Applications

I have been having issues the past few months with my 27" iMac from late 2012
3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 16GB, 1600 MHz, DDR3
This is a work computer that connects to a server
- It started with Powerpoint crashing everytime I would place an image into it using the place picture function (something I do multiple times a day as a designer)
- Next came placing images in Adobe Illustrator - program crashes
- Next was opening PDFs in Adobe Photoshop
- My Outlook also constantly is dropping connection
This morning, a file refused to save in Photoshop, a powerpoint refused to open in Powerpoint, and then after force quitting, the finder froze and wouldn't relaunch.
I had to literally unplug the computer to restart.
There is tons of memory on the computer and terabytes of storage open.
Since I turned the computer on - here are error messages in the console although I don't know if they're of any help:

Microsoft Office 2008 issues. Help. Excel not opening and other issues!

I converted to Lion on day one. I was able to use Microsoft Office 2008 without problem for days, then, just today, every time I go to open an excel file it opens, closes, then gives me the option of sending error reports to Microsoft. Word opens fine. The program is totally up to date (just did the 12.3 update). I repaired disk permissions, restarted the computer twice. Still, the same things happen. Here is the message I get for the Microsoft Excell Error Report:

OTHER ISSUES
The other thing that happens is that whether on Word or Excel when I click on a file to open it, it keeps trying to open all the recent files from that program intead of *just the ONE* that I want it to open. I also notice on Safari that when I reopen the program it opens ALL the websites I recently visited even though I don't have that checked as a preference... What gives??????????
Any suggestions. I am freakingout here, really need to get into these documents.

Hi there.
This sound awfull like an issue with the resume function in OSX Lion.
This can be adjusted in system settings under general.
See:

Hope this solves your problems.

New Mac User Needs help opening Microsoft office 2007 files on a Mac!!!

I just got a used ibook G4. I had an old Pentium upgrade IBM before. I love my Mac, but I need my old school files form my IBM. I have OpenOffice.org 2.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I have a file converter program called X 11 that opens with a huge list of options for converting files, but it dose not say Microsoft offices 2007 it says the version numbers. I tryed the latest version and It wouldn't open in OpenOffice.org. Should I use Apple Script instead? I don't have Apple Works do I need it? I just want to look at the files. Why is there not a office viewer for Mac?

You have Tiger. Tiger=10.4.x; Panther=10.3.x; Leopard=10.5.x.
If you are trying with OpenOffice 2.2, it might be worth updating. I have version 2.4, which is the latest. Since 2.4 fixes a security issue, you should update if you plan to use the application anyway.
NeoOffice, as a previous poster pointed out, should be able to open Office 2007 documents.
See the discussion at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4542 for the main OpenOffice thread discussing this issue. It discusses the ODF converter at sourceforge which NeoOffice uses to open Office 2007 documents. Apparently, you can use it with regular OpenOffice, too, but if 2.4 doesn't come with it (and maybe it does - I haven't checked), it might be easier to use NeoOffice for now.
X11 is not a file converter, by the way. It is the traditional unix GUI. Apple provides a version of this for OS X which enables you to run applications which haven't been ported to the native OS X environment. OpenOffice for Mac OS X uses X11 as do some other applications, such as GIMP, which you may have heard of/used. NeoOffice is a version of OpenOffice ported to the native OS X environment (i.e. it doesn't have to use X11). I haven't used it in a long time - I always use OpenOffice on X11 - but it is supposed to be very good now and should seem very familiar if you're used to OpenOffice. If you can't get OpenOffice to work with your files, you should definitely try NeoOffice before buying MS Office - unless, of course, you especially want to send MS a few hundred of your preferred currency.
The other thing you can try, if you've still got Office on your IBM machine is converting the files there by opening them and choosing "save as...". That should allow you to select an earlier version of Word/Excel/... which OpenOffice should have fewer problems with. Since you may lose formatting this way, try the other options first. (Also, if you have a lot of files, this option will be very annoying to implement.)
I do not think AppleWorks is likely to help. (I'm not sure if AppleWorks is even still available... somebody?) There are some suggestions Pages might help, but I would personally try the other solutions first. (On the other hand, I have a very old version of Pages.)
AppleScript is almost certainly not what you want. It has nothing to do with AppleWorks. It is a scripting language.
Good luck,
cfr

Important Microsoft Office 2011 Excel File isn't opening Please Help!

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems opening one single excel file. I've tried others and they open with no issue. This file I'm trying to open now opened 2 days ago as it's a project I've been working on and I desperately need to get back to working on it!
I'm running OS X 10.8.4 on a Macbook Pro with Microsoft Office 2011. When I open the workbook it loads the progress bar, then doesn't show anything from excel apart from the top bar with file/edit/view... etc
When I try and open it from this point it gives me a message
'XXX.xlsx is already open.
Reopening will cause any changes you made to be discarded. Do you want to reopen XXX.xlsx
PLEASE HELP and don't hesistate to ask for anymore information if you need it. Thank you.

Such instances are examples of why one should maintain good backups. I suggest you consider using Time Macnine backups. It would allow you to go back in time to earlier versions of the file if a later one is corrupted or if you save unwanted changes by mistake.
You would need a $80 external disk drive for the Time Machine volume. Your data is much more valuable than that $80 cost. Disks can fail at any time, taking all of your data with them.

Microsoft office test drive expired new PowerBook, help

hi. I don't know where else to ask this question. I have had my PowerBook for about 6 hours and I am already frustrated ... I tired to use the Microsoft Office Test Drive that is on the machine only to have it tell me that my 30 day trial has expired. How can it be expired when the PowerBook has only been used for less than 6 hours and Office for the install only? Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Or who to complain to? To Apple? It is almost impossible to complain to Microsoft or to get an answer from them.
I have purchased a copy of Microsoft Office but it hasn't shown up yet.
Thanks for the help.

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.

Issues between Microsoft Office:mac 2004 (Student) and Korean Language

I use Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student edition on my iMac. For a Korean class I'm taking I type in Korean on Microsoft Word for Mac 2004 (student edition) and as to be expected Word indecates the spelling is wrong. I have tried to change the proofing setting so Word will Proof in Korean but I have been unsucessful. What can I do (or get or download) to get Word for Mac to proof Korean? If you think you may be able to help me but you find his message to be somewhat hard to understand please email me at [email protected] and I will to explain my issue more clearly.

Best ask in the newsgroups which MS runs for its products:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
Are you sure the stuff you want exists? My info is that Office 2004 comes with proofing tools for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, German, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Finnish, and Dutch. No Korean or Chinese.

Microsoft office major issue!

not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. My Microsoft office programs were working perfectly fine the other day, and then i turned off the computer for a bit, and when I turned it back on and tried to open Word, an error message came up, and now I can't open any OFfice programs OR remove Office using the removal program it came with (the same error message comes up). any suggestions? I can't live without Word for much longer...
here's the error message:
Application Launch Failure
The application "PowerPoint" could not be launched because of a shared library error: ";<Microsoft PowerPoint><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CoreFoundation>"
thanks in advance.
