Why does word and excel open automatically at login, there is no check in front of Open at Login

Every time I boot up the system OS X 10.9, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel open automatically.  When I click on W and E on the dock and right click Options, there is not a check mark beside "Open at Login".  It is 4 extra steps each morning to close the word and excel screens that open.
Thanks for any suggestions.

When you shutdown do you uncheck this box:
Also, check here:
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Select your user account > Login Items

  • When I log in both word and excel automatically open. Is there a way to stop them from opening on startup?

    when I log in both word and excel automatically open. Is there a way to stop them from opening on startup?

    I believe on new mac this is how it works by default.  There is a preference to turn this 'feature' off.
    You should look in you login items under accounts under system preferences.
    Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
    Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
    click on this icon
    Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
    Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
    What version & Processor do you have?

  • The dock in Maverick is doing strange things to word and excel files

    For years (and Mac operating systems), I have kept Microsoft word and excel documents on my doc. I use these documents frequently...click on the file icon in the dock, it opens, I edit and save. Click on the icon again and the saved document opens. so simple.
    Since upgrading, I click on the icon, the file opens with a number following the file name (version number I assume) but before docx or xlsx. I edit and save, but get a "save as" box. Now I have to edit the file's name, find the original and replace the original with the new version. Not so simple.
    Since I open and close my daily billing log many times a day, this has slowed me down (and irritated me).
    I have had no other problems with my Maverick installation and these files are in Word and Excel 2008. This does not happen to powerpoint or any other file I tried so far.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this?

    Your Mac will generate a new .plist file automatically after restart.
    Deleting the .plist file shouldn't delete any app icons from the dock.
    Check the startup disk just in case.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using OS X Recovery

  • Problem in opening of word and excell files downloaded from email attachment in MS office professional 2013 paper licence

    Hi,
    I am facing the problem in opening the word and excel files received through email in my MS office professional 2013 paper licence, Microsoft Windows 8.1 enviornment. please help in this matter

    I should further say the files I sent are .xlsx and .docx files.  They look fine my end and I send such files all the time without problems.
    However, I did try to cheat by going in via the Safari onto my 'live' online email account and the Safari automatically transfers them to winmail.dat files with the same result.
    Ahh - have just been on using my PC this time and you are right, it seems that the service provider does the transfer and then when my outlook opens the file (on the PC), it must reconvert to .xlsx etc again.
    Very strange.
    Ergo, I guess the question should be how I open wimail.dat files ??

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • I am thinking of changing to a IMaC for my computer and Want to know if I will be able to upload documents from my old computer and all my photos. Everything is in Microsoft Word and excel. I have a iphone and ipad so that is why i am thinking of changing

    If I change to a IMAC will I be able to upload all my photos and word and excel documents? Also does it have USB ports like I have already used?
    Is there a DVD player on IMACS? It is scary making the move until I am sure I can use everything I already have.  I also have NEAT for all my recepits also.

    When the new Mac first starts up, you get the opportunity to migrate your files from another computer, including a PC. This link tells you how to do it from Windows.
    As for the iMac's features, you can look through this website to get all the details.
    It is possible to install Windows on a Mac and run your Windows applications within it. It's also possible to use programs that are for the Mac which can work with most MS Office files. One good example is LibreOffice.
    Welcome to the Mac.

    does mac have a word and excel equivalent or do I need to use Windows for Mac and get the software separately?

    Mac has Pages and Numbers, which are mostly compatible with word and excel.   Both are available in the App Store for $20 each.

  • Outlook 2013 won't open Word and Excel attachments

    Had a new PC set up with MS Office 2013 programs.  Outlook 2013 Word and Excel attachments do not open.  Program opens, but to a blank screen.  This includes my attachments created on the same computer.  Boxes in "Trust Center"
    are unchecked.  Problem persists.  It is possible to save the attachment, then open Word or Excel and see the saved file, but this is time consuming and annoying.  Outlook 2013 should just open its attachments from the message without a thousand
    extra steps.  Thank you.

    Hi Gish,
    Thank you for your question.
    Did this issue occur in OWA?
    We could open outlook->File->option->Trust Center ->Microsoft Outlook Trust Center->Trust Center Setting->Attachment Handing->Attachment and Document Preview…
    Then we make sure all option have check. And didn’t uncheck “Turn off Attachment Preview”, or rebuild the profile to check if the issue persist.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim
