Microsoft Word 2010 won't open?

When I try to open my Microsoft Word 2010 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft Word 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.' However, when I go to the control panel Microsoft Word 2010 is no longer listed there. I've never
uninstalled or modified the file so I don't understand how it can just have disappeared??

Was Word loaded as an individual product or part of the Office suite? In other words, do you have Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 and do they open?
If Word was loaded as part of the Office suite then it will not be listed individually in the Control Panel.  With
Control Panel > Programs and Features it will show as Microsoft Office <package> 2010.
Either way, it sounds like you need to just get the install CD and reload. 
If you are then prompted to Repair you can do it that way, or simply Remove and then Install.
Hope this helps

  • When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

    When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers.  I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader.  Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

    Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
    If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

  • Just Updated to 10.9.5 Now iPhoto 8.1.2 Won't Open-Microsoft Word & Excel Won't Open

    I have a MacBook Pro now running 10.9.5
    I updated last night to the 10.9.5 version and after doing so my iLife applications stop working: iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand
    My Microsoft Word and Excel stop working as well.
    Every time i try to open these applications i get error and they just won't open.
    " iPhoto quit unexpectedly wile using the iPhoto plug-in"
    I get this same message for all my applications.
    I tried getting help from Apple and all they really told me was that I may need to update to my iPhoto by paying $15 bucks.
    I'm upset that my applications have all failed me only after updating to new 10.9.5
    This update was done at 10:30PM, all day my Microsoft Apps and iPhoto app were working fine and now I'm out of luck?

    iLife 11 is only available thru 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com or eBay.com.  That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters:
    1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1 - you may be able to go from here directly to 9.4.3
    2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
    3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
    4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
    5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

  • Microsoft Word 2004 won't open in Leopard

    I downloaded Leopard and everything went well and I used Microsoft Word a few times, then suddenly it won't open anymore.
    I'm not sure if I downloaded something that's incompatible with it? Or something else happened? It won't let me update it and when I try to open it the words "The application Word quit unexpectedly" appear almost immediately. I checked my permissions, I checked the hard drive, but couldn't find the root of the problem.
    Someone please help!

    How did you "download" Leopard since it is not available that way? You have to buy Leopard unless it came installed on your hardware when you purchased it.
    After you did the Leopard update did you update Office to the latest version? If not use the Auto update feature built in to it and download and install all the updates. It does them one at a time so you may have to do 5-6 downloads to get them all.
    If that does not work then I would uninstall Office using the uninstaller that is on the CD and reinstall it then bring it up to date.

  • 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.

  • Calandar Help For Microsoft Word 2010!

    In Microsoft Word 2010 how do I add a calandar that already has every holiday on each month that it's suppossed to be so that I won't have to type or write it on there and how do I save it as a template in Word 2010 so that I can use it every time I need
    to and also be able to start with any year and be able to work with one month at a time and then print out the 12  months separately thereby working with each month separately and type in any day of the week and then go to the next month from there and
    type on it as well each separate day of the week?
    Bryan

    Hi,
    Do you mean the Calendar template in Word when you click File > New? If so, I'm afraid there is no build-in template which meets the request in Microsoft Word. I've found a template for Excel, but nothing for Word.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/templates/any-year-calendar-with-holidays-TC104014201.aspx
    You may need to find some third-party templates to achieve the goal.

  • Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

    I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

    Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
    Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

  • Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

    I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. 
    I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs.  When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails. 
    When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from.  Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files?  It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
