Hi:
Try reinstalling Office 2010 Starter by using the file I zipped up and attached below (under Attachments).
Download, unzip and doubleclick the file to run it.
You have to be connected to the internet in order for the setup file to contact the Microsoft Office 2010 Starter download site.

Everytime I open a document in Microsoft Word, it opens the two or three previous documents. Can I stop that from happening?

Close all applications.
Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
From the drop down select Library.
Locate the folder named " Saved Application State".
Locate the folder named "com.microsoft.word.SavedState".
Move it to Trash.
Relaunch Word.

Word wont open at all as it has a question mark in the backround

i have a macbook pro notebook and have been using microsoft word without any issues until today.It wont open up at all when i click on it it dont even jump and has a question mark behind it.What can i do to rectify the problem?

These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

Microsoft Programs Wont Open

I've been trying and trying to open my Microsoft word, but nothing happens. Not even an error alert. It simply will not open. I have tried several ways of opening it, but to no avail. I also am unable to open old works (glad this happened after a huge
assignment, whew!). As for my other Microsoft programs? Well they aren't opening either. It would be nice to be able to write English papers once again, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Kirsty,
Had you tried safe mode to open MS-Word? If not then type winword.exe /safe
in Run option. By using Word in safe mode, you can disable the plug-ins in Word.
Most of the times third party plug-ins produce such kinds of bugs in Word otherwise you have to move on office repair tool.

Photoshop VERY slow when Microsoft Word is open

Photoshop is slowing down to a crawl as soon as I open up microsoft word. Even if it's a blank document. Any ideas?
My computer is decently powerful. 3GB RAM, 70GB scratch disk for photoshop and 2GB allocated to photoshop...??!?!? It's really fast when microsoft word isn't open.
HELP!

seems that microsoft word is the culprit, and not photoshop. my whole computer slows down when i open up a document.... i had just installed endnote to add citations. after removing it word works fine with photoshop and everything else. weird. thanks though

Microsoft Word cannot open on specific user account.

Hello,
Everytime I open Microsoft Word (Office 2011) on my original user account, I get this message:
I went to Microsoft's support site first. After finding various methods here, I found that the second method actually worked for me. That method was to make a "test" user account, and try to open Word there. Word had an update available and I updated both accounts with it. The "test" account actually opens up Word with no problems, whereas my original user account does not. Apple Support didn't help, in fact they directed me back to Microsoft because it's a third party software developer, despite it being an Apple/Macbook user account problem. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this, or if I'm stuck transferring all my files over to my test account one by one?
Thanks.

Maxie1111,
Just a shot here,if you have done all the steps you have provided in the link, in your affected acct, try going to Applications, Microsoft Office, Word and highlight it. Then press COMMAND I or right (control) click on it, this will bring uo the info pane, at the bottom under "sharing and permisssions make sure that system, and the rest of the accts have read write access, if not try unlocking the padlock (at the bottom with your admin pswd) and changing the status, see if this helps.

Thanks so much in advance.

Please post Word related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

Microsoft Word/default opening

Hey everyone,
Not sure where to post this, but every time i attempt to open a document using the new documents button on the bottom bar, it attempts to open it using the microsoft word test drive. i have a liscense for Office, and use it all the time but i just cant seem to figure out how to get it to open to my actual liscensed software instead of the "test drive." Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance for any replies.
-Luke

I believe that the instructions for installing Office tell you that you cannot have any other versions of Office installed, including the test drive. Wouldn't uninstalling the test drive should solve your problem?

Hi Annelise,
The obvious questions must be asked. What has changed? Software or hardware added/updated/deleted? Has it been working without issue for days/weeks/months/years before this?

IMac won't print microsoft word doc "open with" apple pages

When its set to open with pages it just freezes the pages program and wont print. If I set it to open with textedit or some other program then it will print. Note, if I open it first with pages then it will print from within pages. It just wont print using file > print from the apple menu. Whats the fix for this? Currently I have it set to open all word docs in LibreOffice in order to print docs with ease. But I would rather use apple pages app.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...

Do I have to buy Microsoft Word to open mail attachments? Does Tiger have n

Does Tiger have no word document that will open word documents sent to me over e-mail? I know there is a free trial of Word, but I don't want to buy it just to open documents. Is there a word processor program included with my Imac ?

Depending on what attachments are sent to you, you will need the appropriate application to open it. If by using the example of receiving a Word document, you would either a.)Need to purchase Microsoft Office 2004, or b.)Use a free application such as NeoOffice http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php
NeoOffice will open most Microsoft Office documents.

Why do my Microsoft Word documents open as read-only

I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?
There are instructions on [http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/06/10/disable-reading-mode-and-protected-view-in-word-2013/ how to disable that] although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.
Hope this helps!

Microsoft Word automatically opens when I start my computer.

A new document opens up everytime I start my computer. The option for Word to start at login is not checked on the dock and is not in my start up items in system preferences.
Also, I downloaded Google Chrome and now the screen that allows you to install and run downloads keeps showing up with the Google Chrome icon, in addition to Word when I start my computer.
Help!

Sorry.. this is my first Mac. It's a box that has the icon of the download on the top and the folder on the bottom. In other words, it prompts you to move the icon into the folder for the install to occur.
I exited out of Word before I shut down the computer. Again, not sure why it opens automatically.
