Microsoft Word 2011 will not open .docx files

I cannot open .docx files which I have created on this laptop with this version of Microsoft Word !
Also I am having a problem with the input source language - it has been set to Welsh and has been ok but these past two days it keeps flipping back to English.  Are these two things connected?

  • Microsoft Word 2011 will not open.  I have updated it.  Now Excel and Outlook open, Word still will not.  Can you help?

    Hard drive very recently restored.
    Version 10.7.5
    Word updated to 14.4.4
    I updated, I restarted, I tested everything and everything opens except Word. 

    Hi, Becca,
    Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted.  Reinstalling Office 2011 can address problems that you may be experiencing.
    The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8. You might try reinstalling MS Office 2011
    First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
    Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
    Then Reinstall from DVD
    Then enter your Product #
    After successfully reinstalling Office 2011,  update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
    It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
    It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.

  • I downloaded os x mavericks and now ms word 2011 will not open.

    I downloaded OS X Mavericks and now my MS Word 2011 will not open. My MS Office is not new. The only thing new is Mavericks. If someone can, please help me get Word working again. Excel and Powerpoint are working fine. My previous system was Lion, which worked wonderfully in every way. I did not need a cloud for anything. I feel as though I am now in the fog.

    I was able to find some relevant postings after I asked for help and one of them said to restart my mac again. I did so and this allowed my Java to find the path it needed to complete the update required to run Word. Thankfully I do not have to remove MS Office at this time, but I appreciate the advice. If it starts giving me problems again, I will go through the steps you advised. Thanks!

  • My iphone 4 will not open docx files.  they all show as winmail.dat files.  I've checked settings in Outlook.

    Hello-
    My iphone appears to have stopped being able to open docx email attachments.  I don't do it really frequently, so am uncertain if it's because of the last software update or not.  I am using 5.1.1 on an iphone 4.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Update - I found the iphoto cache deleted it.  This did not work.... it still cannot find the photos.  I then placed all the photos on my desktop and synced my phone to the folder.  It found ALL the pictures on my desktop folder.  I would still prefer to find a fix, so I can sync my photos to iPhoto....

  • My Excel 2011 will not open an .xlsb file, how do I open the file?

    I have a working document that I need to access, but my version of Excel will not open the file. It states that there's an issue with the file, and some of the spreadsheet isn't supported "-slicer". Do I need to upgrade my Excel version, is there a patch? I need some direction.
    thank you.

    xlsb files are binary Excel worksheets, and many have problems with them. Make sure your version of Office 2011 is up to date. If that doesn't help, try reinstalling Office.

    Hi,
    No, no problems here with Office 2008, or 2011. Some people seem to think that 2008 had to be installed before the Lion OS was installed. I have reinstalled in on one of our machines that had issue with 2008, and I have installed after the Lion install was done. I had to install it twice as the first time didn't take.
    You might try to reinstall Office 2008 - when I did it, the machine seemed to respond faster to opening Office documents, and we have had no glitches, so far, and that has been a couple of days.
    I feel there are some possible issues, adn that Mickey Soft is working on it - I would expect an update from Mickey Soft, soon. It's not an Apple problem, as I see it, as over two dozen machines were updated that had Office 2008 on them, and ony one machine had issues.
    Cheers,
    M.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008  - it says a plug-in may be missing.

    My CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008.  It says a plug-in may be missing.  I did have a computer crash since I last opened it.  I've tried changing the extension to inx, but that doesn't work.  I cannot get the file to open.  Can someone help?

    The OP is using CS. He/she could be trying to open CS2 or later.
    Simply changing the file extension will do know good and only an INX exported from CS2 will work.

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.
