Microsoft Word missing after Upate

I update the newest software on my macbook pro and my microsoft word is no longer opening, including previous documents.

Just what do yo mean? Is there an app for Word? If you click on it what exactly happens?
Have you updated Word? Other posts had similar/same problem and update Word resolved the problem.
Try uninstall Word and reinstalling

  • CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

    I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents!  HELP!!
    The message I receive when trying to open a document read:  You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick.  It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos. 
    I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
    Thanks

    I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
    If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

  • Microsoft Word unstable after 10.4.4 and 10.4.6

    I have Micorsoft Office version X for Mac (I bought it in 2002)- After the last two OX updates which worked flawlesly for me, Microsoft Word crashes regularly. Even if I only have two short documents open, it crashes. I have 1 GB of memory in my powerbook, so I know that I have enough memory. I have checked the active and the wired memory used, just before a crash, and it is about 600 MB.
    I wonder if anyone else is having similar issues. Any suggestions for a fix?
    Thanks,
    Ruth

    I have had the identical experience with Word for Mac and 10.4.6 (started with .4), however nothing works in trying to rectify: repair permissions, reinstall, etc, etc. I'll probably now go to Nisus which is exceptionally stable and better in every way.

  • Why can't microsoft word open after an update

    why can't microsoft office open after the yosemite update?

    I had to download from the Microsoft website Microsoftoffice2011.dmg and upgrade.  Now word and the rest of office works again.  I could not get this to update via the auto update program BTW that did not work. The version which is required for Yosemite is 14.4.5 of Word. Good luck.

  • Microsoft Word crashes after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 2011 Mac Mini.
    Since the upgrade, microsoft word 2011 keeps crashing when trying to save a NEW document. It saves fine an existing document but would not save (or save as) a new document. I have also installed the latest software update from microsoft.
    When I log into another user account it works fine, so it must be in my user's account.
    Any idea on what to do ? the microsoft forum does not offer any help on this specific matter except changing user account !

    I'm having this exact same issue too, and this is my third attempt to get things working again now :( what was weird was (before I also tried to start all over with a fresh win install) I were able to boot up the bootcamp install via VMware Fusion :S I've just did a startup repair with restore and it seems to have kicked some bad things out and lets me boot in again. I think I'll make a restore point and then install the driver one by one instead, and if things then blows up, I'm hopefully able to restore back.
    But this issue is pretty pretty bad.

  • Problem Printing from Microsoft Word 2008 after Microsoft Autoupdate

    Hi
    I have a 1.83 GHz Intel Core with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM running OS 10.6.4
    I also have an HP Photosmart C4480 connected by USB
    I updated Microsoft Office via the autoupdate and now when I print from Word (and when I print pdf documents from Word) every 3rd line prints kind of lightly, so the page alternates between light and dark. I tried printing from other programs (non-Word pdfs and excel) with no problem...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!
    Lee

    thanks for the tip - that was it - updating the driver off of HP site seems to have solved the problem
    cheers!!

  • Letters and Words missing after converting Word doc to pdf

    While using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to convert MS Word 2007 documents, letters or complete words will go missing.  This can happen in the middle of a sentence or at the beginning.   I have tried saving the document a couple of times and reconverting with the same result.
    Thanks

    This is due to a Windows bug. See if this Windows hotfix helps:

  • After updating to Yosemite, why will my windows in Safari and Microsoft Word close unexpectedly with no method of retrieval?

    On two different occasions after updating to Yosemite this has happened. On the first occasion I had two documents open in Microsoft Word and after looking something up on Safari, attempted to go back to the two open documents. Microsoft Word was showing as open, but the documents were nowhere to be seen and I also could open nothing else and was forced to force quit without saving my work on those documents.
    A similar thing occurred today with Safari. I had many tabs open in one window in Safari. I closed my laptop to move to another room, and upon opening my laptop again Safari was still open, but all my tabs of different research papers I had were gone. When I chose the "reopen all windows from last session" option, it reopened windows I had not had open for many days, and not the ones I had been working off that day.
    This is extremely annoying and as a scientist, I was forced to once again look up the many papers I needed for a grant proposal that I had not yet copied down reference information for. Why is this happening?

    I see you have used Clean My Mac. If you search these forums you will find that running apps like this can cause problems. Start with this link:

  • Converting Microsoft Word 2008 to 2011

    Can I delete Microsoft Word 2008 after I download Microsoft Word 2011 on my mac? Will I lose documents?

    If you do the uninstall for Word it should not remove your documents,  just the licensed software.

  • Running OS 10.9. When I open Microsoft Word, all my previous Word documents open at once and crashes the program.

    I open a document and all my documents open one after another. i cannot access anything in Microsoft Word. After about 30 seconds of opening documents, Word crashes. This behavior only occurs in Word.

    The images were orinigally just copied & pasted onto the documents from the Internet. There was no linking to pictures. Copy & paste & they have been on those docs for years. Now when I open the same docs up in Pages, it states that the document has been adjusted and that headers, footers and images have been removed. I press ok, open the new Pages version of the doc, and hey presto - all images have gone, text moved around etc.

  • Missing footer from my Microsoft Word Template in RoboHelp 9

    I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2.271.  I have to show two different footers:  one for WebHelp and one for printed docs (with different content).  I do not use footers per topic.  I use a master page for the WebHelp that includes a footer.  I tried using a Microsoft Word template for the printed docs by adding a footer to the template.  However, when it generate the Word doc from RoboHelp 9, the footer is missing.  I've seen posts for previous versions that RoboHelp ignores the headers and footers in the template.  Is that still true in RoboHelp 9?  If so, I'll just add the footer after the fact to the Word doc, but it would be nice if the footer would persist.
    Thanks.

    Hey, welcome back. Long time since we heard from you.
    Still true. See Printed Documentation on my site for the full story.

  • When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

    When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my  IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

    If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.
