Microsoft Office suite won't open

In an effort to save space on my hard drive I deleted a bunch of applications that I don't use. I deleted Microsoft Entourage & Messenger (since I don't use them) and continued to be able to use Word for about a day.
Then I closed Word and when I tried to open it later that day. I wouldn't open. Itwill bounce once in the dock and then do nothing. Excel & Powerpoint don't work either. I'm pretty sure I've shot myself in the foot somehow by deleting the other two programs but am trying to see if there's a way to get Word working again.
I'm also assuming that the easiest fix is to reinstall the programs but I'm currently 3,000 miles away from home (and my reinstall disc). Is there anything that I can do to get Word to open?
Also when I looked in console I got this message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/MicrosoftComponentPlugin.framework/Versions/12/M icrosoftComponentPlugin
Referenced from: /Applications/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Word

and for excel

Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

You could try creating a new user account on the computer, logging out of the current and into the new one, and checking the behavior then. If that doesn't help, I think you'll have to settle for using NeoOffice or possibly GoogleDocs until you can reinstall Office.

  • Just installed Lion.  MNow my Microsoft Office suite won't work  What's wrong

    I just installed Lion.  Now my Microsoft Office Suite won't work.  What's wrong ??

    If you had used the search box in the upper right of this page you could have answered this question on your own.
    You have a few options: restore back to Snow Leopard from the backup you made before you installed Lion; upgrade to Office for Mac 2011; install Pages from the Mac App Store; use TextEdit; install one of the many open source Office replacements that can found.

  • Microsoft office 2010 won't open in Mountian Lion, why?

    I try to open word & it gives a message. Does this for every program in the office suite. I can't even check for an update cause it won't let me. It shuts down before I can check

    No bug here.  We have over 200 Macs on mountain lion already and not one issue that you describe.  So basically, it's not useless.
    did you post your question to Microsoft's Mac forums as I suggested?  They have MS appointed MVPs there to help.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 Won't Open With OS X 10.9.4

    I updated to 'Mavericks' about a month ago, had no issue whatsoever. I have been using Microsoft Office 2008 daily, a few times a day with no issues. This morning I tried to open it and it will not open, nor will 'Excell' or 'Power Point'. 'Entourage' opens fine.  I keep getting an error notice "Mircrosoft Error Reporting" Any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

    Is anybody going to get back to me? I have done everything from run my fontbook to try lunching it through spotlight. Then I went into my terminal and re-entered the sudo code - then when that did not work, I removed the program and reinstalled it - to no avail. None of the links below help. So if someone can correspond directly with information, that would help.

  • Microsoft Office Suite Won't Print

    Any Microsoft office product will not print and I'm getting this message:
    "Word cannnot print due to a problem with a current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected i Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
    This message pops up no matter which printer I select.
    Three things may have contributed (or not!):
    1. just added iWork 08 & iLife 08
    2. used the most recent update of Microsoft
    3. printer/fax machine MAY HAVE been plugged into computer when fax tried to transmit (can't remember for sure as I've tried to problem solve)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the exact same problem.
    I am running 10.4.10 and Office 11.3.7
    I have just reinstalled the office suite and upgraded it.
    In all of the office applications, when I try to print, it is unable to create a quick preview in the print dialog box and I am unable to create pdf's or anything else.
    In word, the exact error message is
    Microsoft Word Error Message:
    "Word cannnot print due to a problem with a current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings."
    In Excel, a different message pops up. The message is...
    Microsoft Word Error Message:
    Microsoft Excel could not communicate with the printer.
    There are several possible reasons:
    - There may not be enough memory available. Try closing files and programs you aren't using.
    - Your printer or its driver may not be set up correctly. You may need to adjust your printer settings.
    - If you use a network for printing, there may be a problem with the network connections or the printer driver.
    - There may be loose cables or a bad connection between your computer and printer.
    I get these messages when Excel is the only program running.
    Additionally, I have already reinstalled the printer's drivers (Brother HL2070N).
    And yes, I am able to print from every other application I have tried (Safari, pages, numbers etc)
    Thanks in advance!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

    Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice ($10)
    OpenOffice (completely free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • My Microsoft Office Suite has disappeared and none of my files will open. What do I do?

    I opened up my iMac this morning and for some reason my Microsoft Office suite for Mac had completely disappeared with no trace. Consequently, I can't open any Word related files that I have saved (a box opens saying that Word cannot be found and to re-install it). Unfortunately, I can't find my original software as I have moved recently.
    Any suggestions? Do I have to buy a new Office package?

    You can restore from your backup however you may need the software key that comes with the original software. If you have not been backing up well now you see why you are supposed to!

  • What happened to the Microsoft Office suite when I loaded Lion?

    I loaded Lion operating system last night and rushed without reading all of the fine print. After the Lion was loaded I received a notice that Microsoft Office Suite was not supported. My questions are, 1) Can Lion support the Microsoft Office Suites (maybe a newer version) 2) Can I return to the previous Operating System?
    Never mind!
    Thanks

    1. Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 & 2011 versions support OS X Lion
    2. Yes, you can downgrade to Snow Leopard if you have up-to-date Time Machine backups, however I won't recommend you to do that.
    Over the weekend Microsoft published a knowledge base article that outlines some known issues with Office for Mac on OS X 10.7. Overall, if you have Office 2004 and rely on it, then do not upgrade to OS X Lion until you have an alternative Office version installed (2008 or preferably 2011). Office 2004 is PowerPC code, and as with Intuit's Quicken 2007 and earlier versions, if you install Lion then you will not be able to launch Office 2004.

  • Microsoft Office X- won't launch anymore

    Hi:
    I have Microsoft Office X- All of a sudden my Microsoft Office Apps won't launch anymore. They report an error yet if I open a document it will launch Microsoft Word or PowerPoint just fine.
    I have tried to replace the Microsoft Office X from a Super Duper back up but it also is still failing to launch.
    I am guessing "launch services" is goofed up. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thank you,
    Reid

    I don't think it is an Intel based problem. I have a G5 iMac and a legal old MS office v.X upgrade on top of office 2001 version. Worked fine until a few weeks ago except for a few years needing to keep current with the latest XML free MS converter. Repaired disk/permissions. Dug out all of the app/preferences from my user/library. Reinstalled and it checked with MS mothership. However, still crashes on launch. I think perhaps the most recent OSX security update?

  • 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?

  • Installing Microsoft Office Suite, and error message re: StuffIt Expander

    Hi,
    I recently tried to install Microsoft Office Suite (Office2001-906UpdateEN.bin) on my computer, but keep getting an error message saying "Sorry, but this version of StuffIt Expander requires version 6.5 or newer of the StuffIt Engine. Error -43" I have StuffIt Lite 6.5.1 in my Applications folder, which includes StuffIt Expander. However, when I try opening StuffIt Expander, I get an identical error message. Can anyone help?
    (FYI, since erasing my hard disk and reinstalling my applications recently, I've experienced other problems, too, such as AppleWorks' spell-check function not working, and MacLink no longer being available. I don't know if any of these problems are related -- and/or if I just made mistakes in reinstalling?)
    Thanks.

    Hi, Elizabeth -
    You should be able to download the newer version of Stuffit Expander, since downloading does not involve unstuffing. Once the download has been received, your browser may be trying to invoke the version of Stuffit Expander that's on your drive in order to automatically unstuff it for you - and that's what is causing the message to be displayed.
    Look for the uncompressed download, probably in a .sit or .sit.hqx format.
    Then insert your latest OS 9 Install CD, and locate the Aladdin Software folder. For install CDs for OS 9.1 and later, that will here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Aladdin Software. For install CDs for OS 9.0.4 and earlier, it will be here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Internet Access >> Aladdin Software. Dig into the Aladdin Software folder, and you'll find an uncompresssed copy of Stuffit Expander, v. 5.5 or v. 6.0. Copy that version to the Hard drive.
    Then drag the icon of the freshly downloaded (and still compressed) newer version of Stuffit Expander onto the icon of the older version of Stuffit Expander, and let go when the icon highlights - it should then be decompressed without problem.
    Once that is done, run the installer for the new version.

  • About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).

    About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).  First, is this true?  Second, how have others addressed this lost (i.e. other software programs)?  The cheaper the software package the better with FREE being the ideal.

    If you install Snow Leopard, make sure during the install to open the Optional install items. You must turn Rosetta on, which is not installed by default (necessary to run older PowerPC apps such as Office 2004). If you miss the installation of Rosetta, it can still be installed after the fact a couple of ways.
