Microsoft Word 2012 in App Store

Yes, that's the title and it shows a logo and sceenshots that might make you think it's the real deal but it's not.  Gotta wonder how that one slipped in; maybe it should be removed?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-word-2012/id534884750?mt=8

Nothing in the description claims that it's the real Word application. It's pretty clear (to me, anyway) that it's a utility to help you learn Word. But certainly the app's title is misleading and probably should be something like "Microsoft Word Hints" or something like that. You can comment to the iTunes Store on the matter if you wish. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

  • Microsoft Word 2012 scam app on store

    I just noticed a "Microsoft Word 2012" app on the app store while browsing AppShopper. I checked it on the store and it is obviously a scam. How did this app even make it to the store? I don't see how an app advertised as "All features of the MAC version on your device", but obviously does not  makes it onto the store. I see that they creatively spelled MAC in all capital letters, as in MAC address, for example, and not Mac.
    I also read on a app-dedicated website that not only this, but a "Cydia" scam app appeared on the store recently. Some readers responded to the article with the same concerns. Someone said that they are going to call Apple about this.
    Are these scam apps going to become a problem with the App Store? Are they being caught fairly quickly?

    Yeah, but that only works for apps that you've bought. Things like 'Microsoft Word' from 'Super Real Racing Games' for $9.99 is a pretty obvious scam, yet I can't report it.
    These articles do a great job of outlining the problem and the possible solutions:

  • Microsoft Word 2013 Dictionary App not working with "compatible" Browser

    My Microsoft Word English Dictionary App is not working. It keeps giving me the excuse that my browser is not compatible but I checked and the minimum is Firefox 12. I have Firefox 33. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi rosedoc12,
    I have done some research and I have found a document that will show you how to disable or lock the fn key.

  • Microsoft Word 2013 Blocking Apps

    For the last couple of months I have been working on a project that uses Office 365 Napa task pane to create a task pane app for Microsoft Word 2013.
     Things were working fine until last week when I tried running the app and after the normal process it said "App was blocked.  Untrusted apps from the internet are blocked by default."  I didn't change any privacy settings over the
    last week so I don't know why it started blocking it now.  I even went back to one of my older projects that worked and it was also blocked.  My other group members are having the same issue also.  Any help?

    Search for QuickOffice or Documents to Go. To get editing abilities you are probably going to have to pay for an application.

  • HT4759 Am 20.10.2012 im App.Store per Visa-Card gekaufte Apps wurden nicht installiert

    Ich hatte am 20.10.2012 meinen Apple-Account neu erstellt. Damit war auch eine Neuregistrierung verbunden. Dies entspricht auch den derzeitigen aktuellen Angaben gegenüber Apple.
    Anschließend hatte ich per Visa- Karte im Apple-Store mehrere kostenpflichtige Apps gekauft. Diese Einkäufe nahm ich auf meinem PC Windows XP vor,- auf welchem ich auch die iTune Musikbibliothek unterhalte. Auch der Account zwischen iTune und Apple wurde gestern bei diesem Vorgang neu abgestimmt und damit harmonisiert,- so dass ab sofort die gleichen Account-und Passwörter festgelegt wurden.
    Bislang konnte ich jedoch nicht feststellen,- dass diese Apps auf dem iPhone 4S geladen wurden. Bei vorherigen Bestellungen vom iPhone selbst war dies problemlos.
    Sollte ich künftig wieder bei Buchungen von Apps im Apple Store diese direkt vom iPhone ordern?

  • Hi, so I want to get Microsoft Office on my Macbook Pro, and I think I found it on the app store. The app is templates for Microsoft Office is that the same thing. Will I get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on my laptop if I buy and download that app?

    If I buy the templates for Microsoft Office on the app store, I will get Word, Excel, and Powerpoint right?

    Templates are just that, not the software itself.  You need to contact MicroSoft online to purchase, or buy a DVD to install from...be sure to get MS Office 2011 to install with Lion or Mountain Lion, older versions than 2008 will not work.

  • App Store, iCal and Contacts have disappeared from applications

    Yesterday, I tried to purchase By Word from the app store on my mac mini, only to find that clicking on the icon in the dock turned it into an icon with a question mark on it. I rebooted, and updated, thinking that might be the cause, but no joy - I also noticed the same happened to iCal and Contacts (Mail and everything else in my dock works fine still).
    I checked in applications and the missing apps are nowhere to be found. I also ran the combo update for 10.7.3 as I read elsewhere that this could reinstall the app-store if people have accidentally deleted it, no joy.
    I haven't deleted any of these apps, and although I don't use iCal or Contacts on the mini, I'd like to understand how they've disappeared.
    I've not used my mini for a while, and not purchased anything from the app store for a long time, so it's hard to tell what may be a contributing factor to the disappearance (I cleared a bunch of stuff from my trash before I realised they were gone too unfortunately, so I can't even tell if they were in there or not).
    in the last couple of sessions, I've installed dropbox, anti-social.cc, handbrake, updated magic prefs, run a system update (now running 10.7.3) and installed the latest version of node.js
    I've never deleted any application from this machine (not had it too long), but to see if I could have done it accidentally, I removed magic prefs and I'd have had to go into applications specifically to remove them - which I definitely haven't done.
    I'm the only login for this machine, it's a personal one, so no worries there. I've even checked for flashback virus and no trace.
    I'm absolutely out of ideas, and I can live without iCal and Contacts, but I'd like the app store back if at all possible. I've seen some non-apple sites where people have extracted the app store from a package for individual install, and if necessary, I suppose I'll have to go down that route, but I'd rather keep things official if posisble, and get some understanding into what's happening.
    If there are any logs, or other information which can help with this post, please let me know and I'll dig them out - if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be really greatful.
    Thanks

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • Microsoft Word 2008 does not work after lion installation

    After I installed Lion in my MacBook Pro, Microsoft word 2008 failed to work properly. Each time I try to quit word an error message appears and word closes and reloads automatically. The only way I can now really quite word is by the 'Force quit' option (in the apple menu). Word was working properly with Snow Leopard, so no idea what happened there... Any hint? Thanks

    Ok, did exactly what you said... To 'make word crash' I only had to open it and then try to 'quit' it, in crashes 100% of the time...

  • How do I change my "Installing Apps?"  Cannot get my App Store back!

    Hi All,
    I am in an elementary school setting, we have several ipad carts for teachers and students to use.  I am trying to install new apps on our ipads, but there are several that for some reason will not let me.  I have gone under "General" and where the button for "Installing Apps" is, it is labeled "off."  Installing Apps and the iTunes buttons are gray and cannot switch from the off button to on.  I have looked and looked online for different ways to (for a lack of a better word) find my App Store, I have tried going to General -> Reset -> Reset Homescreen Layout, but my App Store is still in hiding.  I know that it cannot be erased, that it is there somewhere, but I cannot find it!  Help!

    Sounds like you might have restrictions turned on.
    What happens when you go to settings/general/restrictions/disable restrictions?

  • I'm trying to purchase a app from the app store.....

    I have the free trial of Hooked On Words on my ipad and want to purchase the app to rid all of the ads. However, everytime I say "yes" to wanting to purchaase the app closes and I just get the ipad screen with nothing happening. I do not see that app icon updating (loading), nothing at all happens.  Why?  How can I purchase this app?

    I know nothing about the app. Is it working properly otherwise? Did you try quitting Hooked On Words and the App Store app completely, restart the iPad and then try to purchase the app again?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of both apps that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Did you try deleting the app, reinstall it and then see if you can make the purchase? Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles on the screen and then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button to stop all of the apps from jiggling. Download the app again. See if you can make the purchase then.

  • The application "Microsoft Word.app" can't be opened in Microsoft Office

    I am getting the error "The application “Microsoft Word.app” can’t be opened." I have Microsoft Office for Mac. Help!

    Your MS Office may have become corrupted.  Reinstalling Office can address problems that you may be experiencing.
    I don't know what version of Office for the Mac that you have, 2008 or 2011.
    The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.9.
    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 14.4.9 as of current date.
