Go to System Preferences>Accounts and then select your account, then startup items, remove Word from the list and reboot, you should be fine then.

  • Microsoft Word launches automatically when I log in to my iMac

    I have reviewed the previous discussions relating to the above issue, yet the solutions provided don't seem to help me out.
    Every time that I log on to my mac, Microsoft Word launches.  I have checked the options that permit program launches within the account preferences> login items> users.  Word isn't listed here and therefore there is no action that I can take to stop this from happening.
    Does anyone else have this problem and if so do they have a solution to stop Word from launching at startup?
    Many thanks

    Are you leaving Word open when you shut down? If so, Resume is starting it up.
    Other than that, right-click on the icon in the dock, go to Options, and make sure Open at Login is not checked.

  • I have V3.6.8. On My XP Desktop and my Apple, Firefox crashes regularly - at least 3 times a week it will restart but some files will not re-open automatically, or have to be taken of the list of possible reasons why FF will not restart.

    I get a script box saying that a script is trying to complete etc as follows: Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623
    It makes no difference whether I click continue or cancel the same message keeps reappearing
    How do I fix this? And why does FF crash all the time, both of my different computers? Its supposed to better that IE . . . ?

    Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.

  • I don't want Microsoft Word to automatically launch when I restart/reboot

    Hi All,
    Microsoft Word application automatically launches when I restart/reboot the iMac. How can I fix this?
    Smells like a virus...

    Hi ctconnor;
    Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
    My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • How do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created.

    how do i have adobe X pro encrypt word files automatically when created

    Hi sbuckton,
    Sure, you can encrypt your document while converting it. However you will have to use your Microsoft office for that.
    Please refer to the above screenshot & follow the steps :-
    1) Open Microsoft word with your word file.
    2) Click on the 'Acrobat' tab on the top.
    3) Then choose the Create PDF option form below.
    4) A pop up window will appear asking you to save the file as PDF, however before saving the file click on the 'Restrict Editing' option.
    5) Again a pop up window will come up on your screen, you can choose for the Encryption method & password protection option in order to secure the document.
    6) Once done, Save the file.
    In case if you still experience any issue please let us know.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

  • IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

    iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

    This is most likely because it is  asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

  • How do I stop the task panes from opening automatically when I open a PDF?

    How do I stop the task panes from opening automatically when I open a PDF?
    When I open some of my PDFs the task panes open too. I do not want them to as I have never used them in reader for any purpose. I use reader to READ PDFs. I don't need the task panes and don't want them opening when reader starts.

    Adobe seem to have decided that they are so important that you must see them. Perhaps because it is their chance to sell you stuff. It seems to vary between releases, are you on the latest? Curiously, many people have no idea how to open and close these panels.

  • Firefox opens automatically when I log in?

    We have an iMac with four different user accounts. Whenever I log in on my account, Firefox opens automatically, and it seems to take a long time. This suddenly started happening a few weeks ago, and I certainly never tried to make my computer do this. Firefox does not open automatically when any of the other users login. How do I make it stop happening, since I don't always want Firefox right away?

    Go to System Preferences>Accounts>the name of your account>Login items at the bottom of the list of accounts and look at your login items. Remove Firefox and it will stop opening when you log on.

  • Microsoft word opens multiple docs in Lion

    Since installing Lion on my Mac Pro Microsoft Word opens several documents when I open just one document.
    Is this a Lion fix or Microsoft?  It didn't happen with Snow Leopard

    Close them before quitting Word, or turn off autoresume.
