Office Upgrade Default Programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook)

Hello,
after upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2013, users get the dialog for setting a default program.
For example: If the user is staring excel first time, a dialog appears that not default program for spreedsheats is set and if excel schould be set as default program.
How we can achieve that this is done within the installation (in OCT) or silent through a command line.
I know that the default programs can be set in the control panel via GUI, but this not a acceptable way.

Hi,
Thanks for the confirmation. Have you ever tried to repair your Office installation? It will reassociate Office applications with related files.
You can use /repair [ProductID] command line to repair your installation.
Or you can use /unregserver and /register switches to re-register the applications, this will rewrite all the registry keys and fix the associating issue.
For example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\winword.exe" /unregserver
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\winword.exe" /regserver
Note: You may need to adjust the path to the .exe file to match your installation. Verify the path before running the command.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

  • Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

    Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

    I'm using Excel, Word and Outlook for Mac 2011 in Yosemite without any issues.  I can't speak for Powerpoint, as I've never opened it.  I'm not a power user in Office, so I doubt I've really exercised it.  But so far, Word editing and some simple Excel spreadsheets I use for inventory tracking have worked with no problem.

  • Generate documents(word,Excel,PowerPoint) from Document Templates with Security Markings programmatically

    Hi
    It is required to create office document (can be word, Excel, PowerPoint etc) from predefined template with security markings programmatically within SharePoint Document libraries..
    help with example source and references appreciated.
    Best

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a document based on a predefined template.
    When we create a predefined template, actually the template is bound to the content type, we can retrieve it using its url.
    web.Lists[YourList].ContentTypes[yourContentTypeId].DocumentTemplateUrl
    Then we can retrieve the predefined template as an SPFile, and use the
    OpenBinary() method to get the byte[].
    There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

  • How do I download office applications viz. word, excel & PowerPoint?

  • I am a new mac owner and want to purchase Office for Mac.  Thought I was told it could be purchased thru the mac store for approx $80 (word, excel, powerpoint).  It is priced at $150 at the mac store.  Any advice?

    I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac.  Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint).  However, it looks like the cost is actually $150.  Is there a better deal?

    Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
    Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
    I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
    Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
    I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010  i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
    I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks.

    To whom it may concern.
    I bought an apple product which is MacBook Air about 7 mths. ago . Anyway I would like to download a compatible words, excel, powerpoint. they told me that I do not need it since IWORKS is all I needed. I tried my keynote , numbers does not worked. Somebody emailed me sending me this mumbo jumbo for it to work. Well, if I was a computer wiz, I probably will not be asking for help.
    I followed the tutorials for windows for mac, followed every instructions, hold and behold another problem. I have to have a usb, when I bought this at Best Buy, I asked them what do I need , they said that I do not need anything else because it is all in there. So to make a long story short. I am just so frustrated .
    How can I download the windows for mac, I know I have to start in utilities , boot camp assistant, then the usb problem. Please I need help, it is much needed for my job. Ipages does not saved anything, I mean nothing it just disappeared , and you do not have any idea how much I have the long hrs. I have put in.
    Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate this .

    You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
    Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

    If you are using Lion:
    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • Just download lion and my words/excel/powerpoint didn't work anymore

    Just download lion and my words/excel/powerpoint dont work anymore, any idea why?

    Office 2004 is a PPC (Power PC) based application.  That CPU stopped bing used more than 6 years ago, and there was a program called Rosetta which could run PPC apps.  But Lion does not support Rosetta, a fact which has been warned of for years.
    The only versions of Office supported in Lion are 2008 (if it was on already) or 2011 (new install).
    You can by Pages, iWorks, free Office-replacements like NeoOffice or Open Office or LibreOffice.
    Or pay $200 for Office 2011.

  • Share Word, Excel & PowerPoint with other users

    I am the system administrator on my iMac (OSX - 10.5.6). I installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage onto the iMac. I then created a Standard User Account for my wife. She however does not seem to have access to the Microsoft Applications.
    Any suggestions on how I resolve this?

    Matt - Thanks for responding so quickly. I found the MS apps in a folder called MS Office 94.. duh sorry. If she and I want to share certain documents, spreadsheet or even a data file from something like Quicken for Mac is there a specific directory that all Standard User accounts can view and share?
