Virus with word for mac

i seem to have a virus with word for mac.  does anyone have a recommendation as to an anti-virus program

ClamXAV will locate the infected Word files, but it won't clean them.
Note that with Word viruses, you may have to delete your current normal.dot template (in Documents/Microsoft User Data), relaunch Word to recreate a new one; then lock it (highlight, click cmd+i, and click Locked) to prevent further infection.

  • Browser usually crashes whenever I want to upload a Word or PDF file? is that an OS issue or compatible issue with Word for Mac

    A lot of times I would have to reset Safari while I do this and then it might work afterwards, I just find it annoying and time consuming, sometimes I might have to reboot my machine as well. Not sure whether it's an OS issue or an issue with Word that the system doesn't like word too much. I get the spinning ball and I have to do a hard force quit using my keyboard in order to stop the browser when it stops responding, then go ahead and reset safari like I stated previously.

    I have tried Opera, which is somewhat better but it crashes if I have to look for the file within the system like with Safari, it will by default look on the desktop, if I try to change it to documents for example that's when it can go crazy, with Opera it will by default open in documents but say if I wanted to change it to desktop to look for the file, it can go loopy. Looks like it either the browser or OS doesn't like changing different folders to upload files.
    How's Firefox on a Mac? is it better than on Windows?

  • How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge  feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

    I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

    •HP Support Forum - Home:

    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

  • I've been working with documents in pages and recently downloaded word for mac. i open the pages documents and they appear to be corrupt. at least, a lot of the font is now in weird boxed pictures. what do i do?

    I've been working with documents in Pages and recently downloaded Word for Mac. Upon opening Pages documents with Pages, the documents appear corrupt. Much of the font has been replaced with boxed little pictures - yet they are identified as times new roman. What do I do?

  • MS Word for Macs 2011 in Mavericks - can you help with text formatting?

    When I try to copy and paste text in MS Word for Macs 2011 (14.3.9) the text doesn't retain its formatting. I'm running a year old 27" iMac with OS 10.9.1 Mavericks. My other Mac is still running OS 10.8.5 and the same verision of Word works fine.
    Any ideas?

    Works fine, here.
    I've found it difficult to actually nail down what causes the odd behaviors in Office. I think it is due to the config files scattered all over, never knowing which one to delete.
    However, you may be able to isolate the problem to your own account, or to the system by trying two things:
    1) Log into another user account (a new one would be good, or Guest) and try there.
    2) Boot into Safe Mode and try there: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    If it works in 1, then there is something in your account causing the issues.
    If it works in 2, then the something is third-party software.

    When I try to send an attachment using Word for MAC people have a hard time opening it with a PC. Can I do anything different?

    shldr2thewheel already sent a teach-yourself way. Perhaps you could be more specific: any .doc file written in Mac OS is opened with difficulty? what version of Office on mac and what version in windows? any format, e.g. .doc or .rtf? Even a simple rtext of, say, 2-3 pages? or only long docs, e.g. 100 pages or more? what language is used? English or any other West European, Latin based text, or other scripts too? What do you understand by ‘people have a hard time opening it with a PC?’ takes a very long time? or does not open at all? etc. etc.

  • Had issue with Powerpoint, so yesterday updated Word for Mac 2011 to v. 14.41 - now lots of functionality missing from Word as well as Powerpoint. Any suggestions welcome.

    Hi - Word for Mac 2011 has been working fine. Yesterday suddenly couldn't edit into Powerpoint pptx from a PC (something I used to be be able to do). Got the latest update for Word for Mac 2011, so now running v. 14.4.1 on my iMac, which operates under OS X 10.8.5. Word is now playing up - and I seem to have lost functionality - bullets and numbered lists, 'find' function and more besides broken. I'm swamped with work that I need to do in Word and Powerpoint and welcome any ideas.

    Try an Office alternative.  It sounds like you have some data corruption.  Is your data backed up?

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • My WORD for Mac doesn't work with latest upgrade. Any Remedy?

    Most recent update to OS caused WORD for MAC not to work.  Any Remedy?

    If you just updated to Mountain Lion (10.8) and you were using Office 2004, your best option is to find a newer Office replacement. Here are a few:
    Office 2008 or newer ($140 and up for the 2011 version; you may find 2008 used elsewhere)
    Apple Pages ($15)
    LibreOffice (free)

  • Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 - Forms with drop down fields providing fill-in options upon hovering

    I have been sent a few form documents created in Microsoft Word which contain drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering over those fields on the form.  These form documents end in ".docx".  I do not own Microsoft
    Word for Mac, but am considering buying it or signing up for the Office 365 service for Mac so that I can fill in these fields using the drop down options.  My question is:
    Will Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 for Mac service allow me to use the drop down fields that provide fill-in options upon hovering?  Or is this feature not available when using either Microsoft Word for Mac or the Office 365 service
    on a Mac?
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  • I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

    I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
    Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
    So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
    I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
    Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
    I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
    This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
    creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
    so it is completely unresponsive.
    I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
    I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
    Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
    may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
    but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
    I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
    I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
    And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
    Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
    Thanks
