Microsoft Office Problem

After getting a new IMac, we migrated all our files and software over from our old mac. Unfortunately, we had the most recent version of microsoft office on there. I am experiencing problems now opening up word or excel files now as the computer seems to be trying to open up these files with the trial version that came with the computer (which has ended now), not the licensed version that is also on the computer. I have to first open up word, and then only can I click on the file to open up properly. How can I fix this problem? I need to get rid of the trial office software version. Thanks for any suggestions.

Open the MS Ofice Trial folder.
Run the Installer and select Uninstall

  • Microsoft office problem on MacBook Air

    I had Microsoft Office installed when I bought my new MacBook Air. First time I used PowerPoint it froze when I tried to access Clip Art browser.  A little coloured spinning dot came up and continued for ages and I had to reboot several times.  I brought it back to retailer and they rang Apple support who say it is a Microsoft problem.  I have been fobbed off the retailer even though they installed it. I paid a lot of money for this and am very unhappy that nobody can help me.  Has anyone else had this problem? 

    Hi Marlane1,
    Yes, I am actually from Australia, so I try to use American numbers and laws to help people, as America would have a substantial majority of users on this site.
    I agree that the Company that you bought it from needs to take responsibility and give you a refund.
    This website states your consumer rights, they are pretty much identical from ACCC (Aus version) FTC (Us version). Yours would come under a faulty good and under your law, they must give you a refund. Then using this refund purchase it from Apple Store closest to you.
    Apple cannot do much as it is not downloaded from them or the App store however, if you take the laptop in, they might have a look? Depends on how happy they are!!
    Good Luck and remember your consumer rights: https://www.gov.uk/consumer-protection-rights
    Anything that a sales person says to you, can be used as a guarantee and therefore you can say that you asked them to do it for the reason of issues, they did that therefore as they did this they have to fix or replace.

  • Microsoft Office Problems

    Hi
    I bought new Macbook Air. Following problems i have with Microsoft Office 2011 (probably they related to Lion)
    1) Microsoft Word. Try to open a word file. But no russian font was shown on screen. It is shown only some symbols.
    Huge problem for me
    Where i should use encoding or font drivers for Lion and Word
    Finally, i managed to open file by text edit, but text edit is not suitable for me
    2) Microsoft Excel
    My macbook air has been freezed due to some reason. After i restarted i didnt found excel workbook that i was working on.
    I know it should be autosave but i din't find it. And it didn't save it
    3) Microsoft Outlook
    First i received message. It has blue page color and has attachement.
    But when i open message i can not find attachments. So on usual message (without specific format) i can find attachments but when sender has some user format (coloured msg or etc) attachments are not available
    4) Microsoft outlook
    I want to put task. But when i press ok, message closed and i can not see this task in my task list. So tasks are not working at all
    Please help me in resolving this issues, as they are quite important.

    The best place to search/ask about those apps is often in the forums run by the people who make them:

  • Microsoft Office problems with Shared USB Disk

    I am having problems writing files to USB drives shared off of a Airport Extreme Base Station. The error message from any of the Microsoft Office products would indicate a write protection issue. This happens if I try to save a file I open on the shared drive or if I try to save a new file. No problems from the finder. Also, this only happens for the wireless users, the computer connected through the ethernet connection has no issues. I got in through the command line and checked the user id and permissions and no issue I can see.
    Any ideas?

  • Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software - Microsoft Office - Problems

    :_| Dear all,
    I use a Bluetooth USB dongle to transfer data between my PC and my cellular.
    Since installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software (First I used the 5.0 and later upgrading to the latest 6.10.10) I'm having problems with Microsoft Office.
    When I try to double click any office document (Word Excel etc.) It takes almost 30 seconds for the Word software to open and then additinal 30 seconds for the office document to open in the software -> almost 60 seconds!!
    But when I'm opening the office software from the Strat-Programs-Microsoft Word menu it is opened in nearly 2 seconds!! Nevertheless, while the office is _opened_:
    1. When opening a document threw the File-Open menu it again takes 30 seconds for the document to open.
    2. When trying to open any office document (while the office is open) threw the Windows Explorer it again takes 30 seconds.
    Now, I'm writing in Toshiba forum because when I cancel the Bluetooth manager from the _msconfig_ utility and restart, again the PC and Office is working percfectly.
    Please help
    PS
    I'm using Windows XP Home SP3

    Dear sir,
    Thank you so much for your answer.
    However, I'm alredy using the latest Nokia PC Suite which is 7.0.9.2
    What do you think now? how can I progress?
    Is it the Toshiba software? Is it Nokia software?
    Thanks,

    PS
    Of course my Windows XP Home is fully "Windows Update".

  • Microsoft Office problems on Macbook.

    I bought Office for Mac a few years back and used it on both my iMac and my Macbook. I used my final download on my friends new Macbook, and she's been having problems with it.
    Her Microsoft word (for example) doesn't have a "file" option up at the top. It's missing the ability to save documents where you want them/name them ect.
    I don't know what else is missing yet, but what should I do to fix this?

  • "Program files" directory problem during Microsoft Office Customization Installer in non-English versions of Windows

    We have a document-level customization solution for Word and are experiencing problems during deployment in an environment running on terminal services. The OS (Windows 2012) is English and Word (2013) is non-English (German). 
    Installation is done into the "Program Files" folder correctly. But when trying to start a word document linked to the specific template. The "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" pops up with the error.
    "There was an error during installation"
    From: file:///C:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto
    Downloading file:///c:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not succeed.
    Exception: ....
    System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDonwloadException: Download file:///C:/Programme/[Companyname]/Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not suceed. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Programme\[Companyname]\[Productname]\[Productname].vsto'.
    ---> System.Net.WebException: ...... ---> System.IO.DirectoyNotFoundException......
    The problem seems to be that the installer is looking for C:\PROGRAMME instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES. C:\PROGAMME is the German localized name of PROGRAM FILES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files).
    The installer installs the solution correctly deployed into c:\program files, but when the later a user tries to start it and the Microsoft Office Customization Installer is called, it tries to access the non-existing "c:\programme" folder. This
    doesn't exist, because Windows is English.
    Is there any thing related to deploying solutions on a platform which has different languages (mixing/matching of OS language and Office language?)
    Thank you for your help

    Hello,
    1. First, I would confirm with you whether you dealt with the localization for your document-level add-in?
    2. Did you use this way to define the Create a class that defines the post-deployment action part of Put the document of a solution
    onto the end user's computer (document-level customizations only) and did you get the path with Environment.SpecialFolder enum?
    To handle this, I would recommend you consider using Environment.SpecialFolder to set that property.

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

    I'm curious how you are running this code within excel as I would expect you would've had to write a dll to expose the SDK as COM in order to be able to access it from an excel document.

  • Problems Installing Microsoft Office 2004 on 10.4.3!

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine just purchased 10.4.3 from the Apple Store for use with his G5 (the original single 1.8). My friend is not very skilled with computers, so I have been helping him get 10.4 running.
    • We wrote zeros to his hard drive.
    • We then did a fresh installation.
    • We then ran software update.
    • Apps like Photoshop Elements have installed without problems.
    Microsoft Office 2004 (Student and Teacher) will not install using the installer or drag-and-drop.
    • The installer finishes but the Office 2004 apps are not on the Hard Drive!
    • Drag-and-Drop encounters an error (-36 I think) and stops installing.
    Obviously, my friend is disappointed that Office will not install on a fresh OS - Please help!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Hi all,
    Templeton Peck may have been correct after all! I just got this message from Microsoft Support moments ago:
    Thank you for requesting support for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. My name is Mike and I will be working with you to resolve this issue.
    As I Understand you are Recieving an Error when installing Office 2004, which is not allowing you to Complete the installation.
    With Error 36 There is only one thing to do, you will need to contact our Replacment Product Department for a new disc, you can contact them by calling 1-800-360-7561
    Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for using Microsoft Technical Support...
    I guess I'll give a new disk a try -- I'll report back once I've tried that. :~)

  • I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

    I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
    Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers
    Bob

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
    I wish I had more
