Why do all my word documents open when I open word

why do all my word documents open when I open word

You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
Not sure of the exact cause...
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Why does all alphabets change to capital when converting pdf to word using Adobe Acrobat XI

    Word 2013 uses its own pdf creator engine as far as I know. The step I performed were:
    1 - In the save settings I told word to embed fonts (sorry for the language, I have the Italian client)
    2 - Export from Word -> Save As -> .pdf adding also the table of contents/index
    N.B. I cannot use PDF/A, and in any case it doesn't embed the font
    A working solution is to use Acrobat XI to convert it or print with Adobe PDF printer, results:
    The problems are 2:
    1 - It doesn't create any bookmark and doesn't create links from the table of images to the linked images
    2 - Images, also with the preset "High Quality Printing" customized using "No compression", are really ugly and if you zoom a bit more than 100% they totally be s**t. It wasn't that way with PDF created by word.
    In the end, or I find they way to open the pdf created by word and embedd the missing font, or I find a way to make Acrobat XI creating bookmarks from the word file.
    Suggestion?

  • I always chose "save & quit" when I close and sometimes all my history is gone when I open Firefox again. Why? It just happened again. Can I get that history back?

    You get message "firefox is still running" and computer restart doesn't help you. Try the advice below.
    Make sure Firefox isn't running (end firefox.exe process in Task Manager or restart computer)
    Find your profile folder
    C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
    find file "parent.lock" in it and delete it (the file is empty, its function is to signify to Firefox whether it's already open or not).
    Then try to open Firefox again. Will it start or not? What will it say?

  • Microsoft word stops responding when i open a document

    This has been happening on and off for ages, from half a year to a year. I have been trying to open a document for 4 hours now, it opens it and then freezes, i then have to force quit it and start over again. Some times i have left it for a while others i quit it after it stops responding. It is getting ridiculous now, i have also searched for ages on the internet, some problems are unrelated some seem related but the fixes don't work, I need help to get word to stop doing this.
    I thought maybe it was because it keeps opening all my previous documents that I had open, i unchecked the box so it doesn't reopen windows and it still freezes but on this document instead. I do not have a clue what to do and I urgently need access to these documents, the documents aren't damaged, i was working on them before, and had this problem with many other documents that also weren't damaged. What should I do? I do not have a clue and it's been a truly annoying problem for a long time now.

    Hello, I did as you asked, I hope this isn't too many lines i put. I don't understand any of it and so I don't know what is needed, but this doesn't have over 50 lines so i thought it may be okay. I can't see my name in my log so it seems okay from that point of view. Thanks for your help, this problem has been driving me nuts, i don't know if i've done anything or this is just because of gradual ware and tear as my macbook is the last one they produced. But i wouldn't think its software would have suffered much ware and tear to become that outdated already.

  • Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

    Why is the word count different when I use word count from the tools menu to the number at the bottom of my mac word document

    This forum is for Apple's defunct office suite 'AppleWorks' - since the word count is not in the places you mention I assume you are talking about Microsoft Word? Though it's just possible someone in this forum might also use Word and know the answer, you would stand a higher chance of getting an answer in Microsoft's own forums. You could also try asking in the forum applicable to your operating system - Lion, Mavericks or whatever - on the reasonably chance of finding someone familiar with Word.

  • Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document

    Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document

    New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
    If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...".

  • Why are all urls coming up invalid when I am connected to my wireless network?

    Why are all urls coming up invalid when I am connected to my wireless network?

    First back up the registry
    Go to Start > Run --> type in regedit and hit OK. 
    Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\LocalSettings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. 
    Delete the values IconStreams and PastIconsStream. 
    Open up the Task Manager, go to the Processes tab, select explorer.exe and click End
    Process. 
    Open the Applications tab and click New Task at the bottom-right of the window. 
    In the message box that pops up type in explorer.exe and hit OK. 
    Explorer.exe will reload, and the missing icons should now be back in the system-tray
    where they belong. 

  • Why do all same file types in a directory open?

    When I double click a certain file type in a directory (a jpeg image for instance), why do all the jpegs in that same directory open also? How can this be disabled? It's a little annoying. Is this setting in a specific application's preference or can it be changed in Finder preferences or system settings?

    that does not sound normal. user/library/preferences and delete all com.apple.finder.plist files found? restart finder and perhaps that will help...

  • Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window!  You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
    Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

    What exactly is the problem?
    Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
    How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
    Where, how and what are the random words turning up?
