Microsoft word 2013 is not opening

when iam trying to open microsoft word 2013 it is not opening and it is saying that " cant open a word because dialog box is open so, please close the dialog box" how can i resolve this problem?

Hi,
We may first check whether Winword.exe runs in the background even after closing Word documents. To do this, close all Word documents, press Ctrl + Shift +Esc to open the Task Manager, then check if you can see Winword.exe under
Processes tab in Task Manager list. If so, right click on WinWord.exe and select
End Process.
If above doesn't fix the issue, we may also try the Troubleshooter in the following KB article to fix the issue. The troubleshooter fixes many problems that can prevent Word from starting. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541
Please let me know the result.

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.

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.

Unable to open embedded Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet in Microsoft Word 2013 docx document?

Below is the steps to reproduce this issue.
1. Open Microsoft Word 2013, create a blank Word document.
2. Insert Ole object of type Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet or Microsoft Word 97-2003 document.
3. Save the document as Docx format and close the document. (Saving as Doc format works fine)
4. Open the saved Docx format in Microsoft Word 2013, now try opening the Ole object.
5. Error message is thrown as below image.

Hi,
This issue might be caused by the third-party software/add-in on your machine, interfering with the OLE process (the technical thing that lets you create/edit an object from an outside application inside Word).
Based on my tested with my local environment (Office 2013 & Windows8.1), if I enabled some Excel Com add-ins with Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet, I would get the same error when I embedded it to Microsoft Word 2013 DOCX file. Then, I go to Excel>file>options>add-ins.
Then down the bottom select COM Add-ins from the drop down menu and hit go. Uncheck everything. After that, I could embedded the Microsoft Excel 97-2003 worksheet well.
Please try the suggestion and hope it's helpful.

Right click with mouse in Word 2013 does not give the list with translate and synonyms etc

since i upgraded to windows 8.1 right click on words in word 2013 does not open the regular list where you can tap on synonyms and translate.
it does work if i touch the screen.
i moved to mouse mode but it does not help
can anyone help...
i am starting to hate windows 8.1 and word 2013 because of this feature not working

Hi
I have tested in my computer and it worked well.
Normally when we type a wrong spelling, right clicking the word does not give a list with translate and synonyms.
Check to make sure your spelling is right.
if the issue persists, Start Word in safe mode to check the issue:Hold "Ctrl" key and click into the program.
It is also recommended that you do a repair for your Office suites in
Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair

Word can't open or does it open but you can't open documentts?
If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.

Microsoft word 2013 freezes momentarily every few minutes

Hello Microsoft Technet
I am having a problem with word, which consists of it basically not responding whenever i type something. Currently i am working on a document of 1300 words, not tried out whether or not it happens in other documents, but nonetheless, i will try my best
to describe the problem accurately:
It can be after writing a whole paragraph, or after a single word, that the program stops responding. It believe that at this point, it is still active, but computing a lot of things? i dont know, but whenever it "freezes" the small | (line) thing
showing where i am currently typing continues to blink as if it was waiting for me to type, but i am unable to click anything. I cant naviagte the document, not even click the save button or use keyboard shortcuts. Then after a few moments, sometimes a minute
or two, the document will slowly type whatever i have been pressing while the document was "frozen". "for instance, i am typing a senten" (it freezes) and i do not notice this, so i continue typing only to see
this:
for instance, i am typing a senten| then after a while, it will write a few of the letters in chunks at a time:
for instance, i am typing a sentence here, whi|
for instance, i am typing a sentence here, which should be an exa| if i tehn notice it freezing, i may type random things and wait for it to look something like this:
for instance, i am typing a sentence here, which shokkkkkjlllllllggghhhhh|
I have hardware acceleration and pixel (thing) in advanced options turned off. Thank you for at least trying to understand my weird problem. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,
First of all, please try to copy all the words in that document to a new document, work on the new one for a while, check if the problem persists.
The step above helps determine whether the issue is related to one specific document or it's caused by Word 2013.
1. If the problem only occurs to one specific document, I suspect it's somehow broken. Try to use the "Open and Repair" feature in Word 2013 to open the file and check if the issue persists:
In Word 2013, click FILE -> Open -> Browse to the file location -> Select the document -> Select "Open and Repair" from the Open button.
You can also copy the existing words to a new document to keep working with it.
2. If the problem occurs to other documents too, then something in Word 2013 seems to be the culprit.
I suggest you run Word in safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to some 3rd-party add-ins:
Press Win + R, type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
Open the document from FILE -> Open, check if the problem persists.
If no, I suggest you go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-in to verify which one caused the issue.
If none of the steps above helps, I want to collect the event logs to find the cause of the issue:
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.
Browse to Windows Logs -> Application. Check the error about the freeze issue, you can send me the logs to help analyze the problem.
To protect your private information, please send the logs to our email address:

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.

How to secure pdf in microsoft word 2013

Microsoft word 2013 can convert a pdf that has read and print password security settings.
Is there a way to prevent it from being converted or opened in Word??

Your choice would be to use a Digital Rights Management solution. Very expensive.

Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, revert back to your older OS X;
2. If your Mac will support it, either partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) to allow for a "dual-boot" system;
3. Upgrade your PowerPC software or use an alternative programs; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.

I am trying to install Microsoft Word 2013 but I keep getting a message saying, "The procedure entry point SetWaitableTimerEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." What can i do to fix this issue and install the product?

Hi,
Please read System requirements for Office 2013, to see if your system meets the requirement:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351.aspx
Please also disable the firewall and anti-virus program to try again.
If the issue persists after the steps above, please perform a clean boot to install again, this helps to determine whether background programs are interfering with the install process:

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.

Export RoboHelp to Microsoft Word 2013

How do you export the RoboHelp files into Microsoft Word 2013? I've tried doing it through the application but I am receiving the following error "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer.". Is there a way to go around that when I have the most recent version of Microsoft Word?

Colum - That was not patched by Adobe to the best of my knowledge and I cannot see any reference in that blog to this problem. There is a workaround in Using Rh10 on my site.
