Office Documents are able to open multiple times

I have a few users who can open Microsoft Office documents more than once. The warning prompt to the user to alert them that opening the document the second time will cause changes to be disregarded does not pop up or warn the user.
Once the document is open, the 1st document can not be saved even if it has changes and saving the 2nd document will overwrite the 1st document.
Why is this standard warning message not working? Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with this particular message, just spitballing here..
What's the scale of the message not appearing? By that I mean, is it possible the few that are experiencing this have already selected the typical "Do not show this again" box? (I'm not even sure that is an option, just putting the idea out there).
Also, when this box is supposed to pop up, are there any errors in the browser window, or something that might be blocking it?
EDIT - Nevermind.. After messing with it myself I realize that the error is from Office, not the browser, and indeed does not have the option of not showing again. Back to the drawing board!

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program. Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64. Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program... Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from? Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while). I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive. Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
Thanks for any possible help!

Use Lion Recovery to reinstall the Mac OS X.

Same file opening multiple times

When I open a folio file in DPS, it opens the same file 100 times. I've tried reinstalling and force quitting InDesign but every time I reopen InDesign the file keeps opening multiple times. What can I do to stop this?

There are hyperlinks on all of the folio pages. I'm using InDesign CC and the error starts when I open the Folio Overlays panel. This panel is no longer included in the Digital Publishing interface.

In Preferences UNcheck Open Documents as Tabs

For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.

For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.

I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

Outlook opens multiple times

Outlook opens multiple times on my macbook pro. How can I get this to stop?

Problems such as this are normally caused by javascript, so I can only suggest that you check your javascript code, especially those associated with the onLoad event.

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

What music app is the best replacement for iTunes 11 on OS X? Must be able to open multiple playlists.

First step before doing anything with OD is to make certain that local DNS services are correct. To verify that, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities on the test server, and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter your administrative password for the sudo to be accepted.
If the output from that command reports no changes are required, then an export from the original OD and an import into the test system would be typical for testing, if you trust what's in the original OD.

Can you try resetting your preferences first and see if that helps - see Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

JFrame opening multiple times - strange bug

Hi there
I'm having this problem whereby a window (a JFrame) is opened multiple times - it works as follows:
- I've got one JFrame which is opened via a button in my main JFrame (I'll call it JFrame 1)
- A second one is opened from within the first in a similar way (JFrame 2)
- The first time one opens JFrame 1 one can open and close JFrame 2 fine as many times as one wants
- But when one closes JFrame 1 (this with JFrame 2 closed) and then reopens it (JFrame 1) and then clicks the button to open JFrame 2, JFrame 2 then opens twice - except one of them contains no components while the other contains everything it is meant to
- The same thing happens as many times as I close JFrame 1 - except that when it is closed again JFrame 2 opens 3 times, then 4 and so on
This is what I have for JFrame 1 (the actionlistener in the main window just calls showDebateRound(int roundID):
public void showDebateRound(int roundID) {
        JFrame roundWindow=new JFrame("Round Draw");
        roundWindow.setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        showRoundTitle.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 1, 18));
        showRoundText.setColumns(20);
        showRoundText.setEditable(false);
        showRoundText.setRows(5);
        showRoundScroller.setViewportView(showRoundText);
        //showRoundPrint.setEnabled(false);
        //work out the title
        showRoundTitle.setText("Round: "+getRoundTitle(roundID));
        //work out the draw output
        showRoundTexts = "Motion: "+round[roundID].getMotion()+"\n\n";
        for (int i=0;i<debateCount;i++) {
            if (debate.getRoundID()==roundID) {
showRoundTexts=showRoundTexts+"Prop: "+team[debate[i].getTeamOneID()].getTeamName()+"\nOpp: "+team[debate[i].getTeamTwoID()].getTeamName()+"\n\n";
showRoundText.setText(showRoundTexts);
//layout

//debate round only actionlisteners
ShowRoundEnterResults.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
enterResults();
}JFrame 2 is constructed in the same way as JFrame 1
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I can post more code if need be. Thanks.

hiding the form is probably more efficient than creating a new one each timeI rather think OP's both hiding the form and creating a new one each time.
I would really like to know why it is not workingYeah, so would I.But where's the code that brings up the second JFrame? the actionListener.actionPerformed of the button that opens it?
Better still, post a SSCCE limited to the minimum code that shows the problem.

Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

Why are my appointments listed multiple times?

I noticed this today but I didn't even use outlook. I made all appointments in EST/EDT. Currently I'm on a business trip in Poland and all the times changed 6 hours ahead (the time zone in poland)... so now while planning things back home, everything is screwed up because I thought my appointments were 6 hours later then they were...
This is a HUGE issue.... this will cause major headaches for business travelers and needs to be looked at ASAP. But I can't even find a way to file a bug report with apple and let them know. Not impressed one bit with this.
