My microsoft word will not open, my microsoft word will not open

Help I just downloadedMountain Lion, then went to open Microsoft Word and Powerpoint and it won't open.

Hopefully you did a search before posting a new thread on this problem. A few people have been having issues with Word, and it's sometimes related to not having Office updated properly before upgrading. It may also be third-party configs making the Office setup screwy. I can attest that a fresh install of Office 2008 works fine under ML.
This thread covers some of the issues regarding Office 2008:

Search field in Open dialog will not find pages documents but will find identical Microsoft word documents

This is a new one. Problem seen on iMac and Mac Pro.
1) Create a new Pages document (newest version).
2) Save to the Desktop
3) Export as MS Word document with the same identical name
4) Close the Pages documents
5) Quit Pages
6) Open Pages
7) Choose File : Open
8) In the search field in the upper right corner of Open dialog. Enter the name of the document just saved.
9) Only the MS Word document is listed. the Pages document is not shown, even when Filename contains is selected
If anyone knows how to fix this problem. please comment on this request.
thanks

thanks for testing. I do realize that the two test files will show up in the Open dialog as it opens to the Desktop folder. But what happens if it opens up in another folder and you need to locate a Pages file where you don't know the location, you remember the name. You would go to the search field in the upper right corner of the Open dialog and enter the name. In the Open dialog, the name would be listed and you can choose the one to open. In my tests, the search field would only show the MS Word document, not the Pages i.e. only one would be listed not two. Also, Filenames is an option that does appear in the search field in the Pages Open dialog.
The examples files I created are called "This is a test". The content of the file is "This is a test" (without the quotes in both). the search field in the Open dialog is suppose to locate the text in the documents if enclosed in quotes which it does for the Word document but still will not find the pages document. You can click Filenames while entering in the search field and the same occurs, only locates the Word doc, not the Pages doc.
thanks again

TS3276 How do I open Microsoft word documents in a Email since Maverick does not recognize MS Word?

How do I open a Microsoft Word cocument in a Email since I upgraded to Maverick. Maverick does not recognize MS Word, Excel and Power Point.

MS Office 2008 and 2011 work fine in Mavericks. What version are you using? You can always use a program such as Open Office to open the docs.

HI,
First, there are no Mac viruses in the wild.
recently random sites have had a warning message thing come up that looks like a Norton Anti-virus telling me to run my browser in 'safe' mode or something.
So far it hasn't really done anything malicious, but I'd like to stop it before it does.
The file is an .exe file and unless you are running a Windows partition on your Mac, the Mac OS X cannot open those files. You're OK! If you are running Windows then you would need anti virus software, but it would be installed on the Windows partition, not the Mac OS X.
Nothing to be worry about. They are trying to get your to purchase anti virus software. Norton a/v for a Mac is the worst thing you could install. It's invasive and impossible to UNinstall.
You are running Snow Leopard... read here.

Hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

Microsoft office shut down unexpectedly and now nothing will open word, excell, powerpoint... How do I fix this?

Mircosoft word close unexpectedly on me. I tried to open other microsoft programs and now it is saying that it can't be opened. I tried deleting the microsoft office folder and reinstalling microsoft office but it wont let me do that either. Help I am a teacher and use my compture all the time.
Thanks

This is just an add on to what rkaufmann87 has given you.
There are many users that are upset with the fact there software No Longer works after Installin Mavericks.
Here are some facts for you to ponder when you go to the Microsoft Web Site.
Apple released the BETA Version of Mavericks weeks before it was released.
Apple does this whenever they release a new operating system so that the developers of the 3rd party sofware will have a seamless release of there Operating System. It appears that someone at Microsoft was sitting on there thumbs when this beta was released to them.
So at this point all you can do is get on Microsofts web site at take your stresses and your anger on them.
Cheers

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word? I do not want to purchase Pages unless I can use it for this one very specific purpose. How can I determine the correct answer before purchase?
Many thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Hmmm ... I see the font in my Font Book and in Suitcase Fusion, but it doesn't appear on the list of fonts in either Word for Mac or Text Edit, no matter what I tried. I attempted quitting all applications, cleaning the cache using Suitcase Fusion, and rebooting the computer, but no dice.
You think this is an installation or configuration problem my local Apple store could help fix ... not an underlying incompatibility? If so, I will take it in.
Please know I sincerely appreciate the help. I'm at my rope's end on a project this evening and truly grateful for the reinforcement. Thank you.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

Checkbox macros not working in Microsoft Word 2003

Using Visual Basic Editor, I made an Employee Performance Review form that automatically calculates an employee's total score as check boxes are checked. Everything worked perfectly when I made it, but since saving and closing the program, the check boxes
no longer work. They only show up as pictures - not as working check boxes that can be clicked. They don't even have a "properties" option. The document was saved as a "Word 2007 Macro-enabled Document" and the security settings on my computer
are set to "Medium" so that Word asks me if I want to enable macros when the document is opened. Regardless of whether or not I click "enable" or "do not enable," the check boxes won't work. I made another quick document with
check boxes to see if it had the same problem and it does as well. As soon as the document is saved, closed, and re-opened, the check boxes are deactivated. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, this issue is related to Word DEV, I recommend you post it question to the MSDN forum for Word
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=worddev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

I have mistakenly told thunderbird to only open attachments in microsoft office and not to ask again but do not have microsoft office how can I undo it?

I do not want to have to purchase Microsoft office just to open these attachments, I just hit the wrong key. Please help!

Tools > Options > Attachments > Incoming tab
On the left you will see 'Content Type'
Look for the type of document
To the right it will say what action to use.
Currently it will say eg: 'Use microsoft Office Word'
click on the action to get a drop down selection.
You can choose another program in the list eg: OpenOffice writer
If it does not show in list, select 'Use Other' to see more options.
But you do need to have 'OpenOffice' installed in order to select it.
Remember to click on all the OK etc.
OpenOffice is a free software.

When I try and open a word document I received the following message: "You cant open the application Microsoft Word because PoerPC applications are no longer supported". What is up with that?

When I try and open a word document I received the following message: "You cant open the application Microsoft Word because PoerPC applications are no longer supported". What is up with that?

Here is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
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, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[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 currently 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.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.). First, is this true? Second, how have others addressed this lost (i.e. other software programs)? The cheaper the software package the better with FREE being the ideal.

If you install Snow Leopard, make sure during the install to open the Optional install items. You must turn Rosetta on, which is not installed by default (necessary to run older PowerPC apps such as Office 2004). If you miss the installation of Rosetta, it can still be installed after the fact a couple of ways.

Applications won't open (particularly microsoft word)

Hi everyone, in the past I've had trouble with my macbook but for the past six months or so it's been smooth sailing. Then yesterday I noticed that an application I wanted to use wouldn't open. There was no error message it just doesn't respond when I clicked to open it. I didn't think much of it and re-started it today to see if it would work. It didn't. Then I realized microsoft word does not open either, which does worry me because it is something I use a lot and I can't even open my old documents. I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem/knows why this may be happening/has some advice. For the record some of my applications like, safari, ichat, and itunes still open no problem. Thanks in advance.

Apart from Word... what other applications are not opening. There have been a number of comments about people having problems with PPC apps running under Rosetta since the 10.4.10 update. The programs that you said are still working... safari, ichat, and itunes... are all universal binaries. If this is the case, you can download NeoOffice which is a free office suite for OS X (just be sure to download the Intel version). It will allow you to open and edit your Word documents. It's not as pretty as Word... but it's completely functional:

How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

Hi All,
I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WJ

Hello,
You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.
