  • Microsoft Word 2010 won't open?

    When I try to open my Microsoft Word 2010 a message comes up saying 'Microsoft Word 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel.' However, when I go to the control panel Microsoft Word 2010 is no longer listed there. I've never
    uninstalled or modified the file so I don't understand how it can just have disappeared??

    Was Word loaded as an individual product or part of the Office suite? In other words, do you have Excel 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 and do they open?
    If Word was loaded as part of the Office suite then it will not be listed individually in the Control Panel.  With
    Control Panel > Programs and Features it will show as Microsoft Office <package> 2010.
    Either way, it sounds like you need to just get the install CD and reload. 
    If you are then prompted to Repair you can do it that way, or simply Remove and then Install.
    Hope this helps

  • When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

    When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers.  I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader.  Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

    Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
    If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

  • Office Word/Atlantis won't open to correct window size

    I'm really not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. 
    I am running Office 2007 and Atlantis Word Processor in Windows 7 and suddenly neither window for those programs is opening at the same size they always have before.  Using Office Word as an example this is the way the window has always opened before
    when I start Office Word (this is my preferred work area as I have another window open beside it most of the time).
    About a week ago for some reason this is how both programs open now.
    Is there anyone who can tell me how to get Word/Atlantis to open the way it did before?  I have tried using the Start, right-click, Properties, open maximized method for Word but it didn't work.  I tried resizing the way I needed it and then closing
    through the Office button.  It still opened exactly as in the second image.  Word will not open either maximized or in the configuration I originally had it opening in.  Atlantis will open to maximized but will not minimize to the correct configuration.
    All other programs on my computer open maximized, Office Word seems to be the only thing that will not open to either maximized or the correct minimized configuration.  Any and all help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, Windows 7 can restore the last window for Word. Regarding your issue, i find a solution which may be helpful to you.
    Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office 2010>Word 2010
    Right click on Word 2010, choose Properties.
    Open one Word file, resize the word to the previous state.
    Choose run Normal window in Properties dialog box.
    Then click Apply, OK.

  • Word attachments won't open into Word application

    My dad complained that his iMac G5 opens Word attachments automatically into the trial version of MS Office Word.
    Eventhough he purchased a copy of Office, Mail continued to open Word attachments to the trial version. Because the trial version of Office is expired, the attachments wouldn't open unless I dragged the docs unto the desktop and changed the Info on the documents to open with the purchased version of Word.
    In one attempt to resolve the problem, I trashed the trial version, Mail popped up the dialogue box that asked what application did I want to open the attachment with. I chose the purchased version of Office, but Mail won't do this automatically. It still asked to choose the application to open the document.
    I went into his Documents folder and picked one Word doc to change the Info @ "Open With" and chose MS Word app and checked the box "Use this application to open all documents like this." Still didn't work. I then manually changed the Info in all of his Word docs to open into the purchased version of Word. Problem still not resolved.
    Found out that his PDF docs won't open into Preview automatically too! I get the dialogue box... "Choose application to open document."
    I looked through Preferences and couldn't find a solution.
    I'm the family IT, and I need help.
    I need Mail to open attachments automatically into their correct applications.
    Thanks, Joe

    Per this link, you must uninstall the Office 2004 trial or Test Drive version before installing the full purchased version.
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=office2004td
    Since you have already uninstalled the Test Drive version, I suggest uninstalling the full purchased version and then re-install it.

  • Just Updated to 10.9.5 Now iPhoto 8.1.2 Won't Open-Microsoft Word & Excel Won't Open

    I have a MacBook Pro now running 10.9.5
    I updated last night to the 10.9.5 version and after doing so my iLife applications stop working: iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand
    My Microsoft Word and Excel stop working as well.
    Every time i try to open these applications i get error and they just won't open.
    " iPhoto quit unexpectedly wile using the iPhoto plug-in"
    I get this same message for all my applications.
    I tried getting help from Apple and all they really told me was that I may need to update to my iPhoto by paying $15 bucks.
    I'm upset that my applications have all failed me only after updating to new 10.9.5
    This update was done at 10:30PM, all day my Microsoft Apps and iPhoto app were working fine and now I'm out of luck?

    iLife 11 is only available thru 3rd party retailers like Amazon.com or eBay.com.  That will install iPhoto 9.0 and you can get to 9.4.3 vis these updaters:
    1 - update to iPhoto 9.2.1 - you may be able to go from here directly to 9.4.3
    2 - update to iPhoto 9.3
    3 - update to iPhoto 9.3.2
    4 - update to iPhoto 9.4
    5 - and finally to iPhoto 9.4.3

  • Word 2010 freezes when opening a file from a share drive

    Issue: 
    In our office, one user who is opening up a document from a share folder will experience Microsoft word freezing. 
    It doesn't display a not responding message
    It doesn't lock up and close out automatically
    It doesn't show any behavior typical of an issue, however doesn't allow any user input.
    Can not type, select anything on menu bar, can not minimize, or close out without using task manager.
    You can move the mouse around, however it appears to be frozen. 
    Everything else works, and nothing shows up in event viewer. 
    Issue is intermittent
    I have been able to duplicate it with different documents, multiple times, and the only variable I can determine is that the files open in Compatibility mode. 
    For troubleshooting currently I've:
    Repaired Office
    Deleted the Word Data Registry Key
    Deleted the Word Options Registry Key
    Deleted the Normal.dot file 
    Restarted the Computer
    Disabled Add-ons
    Not sure what I am overlooking and appreciate any help and support.

    Hi,
    How long does Word 2010 “freeze”? I guess it may cost too much time when you open Word 2010 in a shared folder, so that you think it “freeze”. Please wait for a few more minutes to check if Word 2010 can respond. Maybe it just delay of
    response.
    A similar case is here:

    http://withinwindows.com/2008/08/31/taming-microsoft-word-2007s-file-associations-and-document-windows-part-one/
    Then you can download this file to local disk and open it again. Able to launch Word 2010 quickly, there may exist anything wrong in communication with this shared folder. You may change path of shared folder. If it doesn’t work, we can
    try to disable SMBv2.

  • Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

    Hi,
    Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
    Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
    Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
    Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
    I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
    Very thankful for any help you can offer.

    I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
    Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
    I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
    I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
    How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
    Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

  • Microsoft Word 2004 won't open in Leopard

    I downloaded Leopard and everything went well and I used Microsoft Word a few times, then suddenly it won't open anymore.
    I'm not sure if I downloaded something that's incompatible with it? Or something else happened? It won't let me update it and when I try to open it the words "The application Word quit unexpectedly" appear almost immediately. I checked my permissions, I checked the hard drive, but couldn't find the root of the problem.
    Someone please help!

    How did you "download" Leopard since it is not available that way? You have to buy Leopard unless it came installed on your hardware when you purchased it.
    After you did the Leopard update did you update Office to the latest version? If not use the Auto update feature built in to it and download and install all the updates. It does them one at a time so you may have to do 5-6 downloads to get them all.
    If that does not work then I would uninstall Office using the uninstaller that is on the CD and reinstall it then bring it up to date.

  • After December 2014 security updates, Word 2010 won't let me edit forms any longer

    I just installed the December 2014 security udpates. Today, when I open the timesheet form I use every week to record time, Word won't let me edit the form fields in the document. I can select them (sometimes) and it even occasionally lets me resize them,
    but I can't type into the free form text fields any longer. I even tried unprotecting the document, but Word won't let me do that either, although I suppose it is possible I forgot the password. But none of the standard ones I use will unlock the form I created.
    I'm not using XML form fields; I'm using the legacy text form field. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jack

  • Microsoft office 2010 won't open in Mountian Lion, why?

    No bug here.  We have over 200 Macs on mountain lion already and not one issue that you describe.  So basically, it's not useless.
    did you post your question to Microsoft's Mac forums as I suggested?  They have MS appointed MVPs there to help.

  • PDF embedded in Word 2007 won't open in final PDF

    Hello -- I've embedded a PDF into a Word 2007 doc using Insert > Object > Create from File (and displayed as an icon).  I can double-click to open the PDF while in Word, but after converting the file to PDF (using the "Create PDF" function, not printing to PDF), the "embedded" PDF is just a picture of the icon -- nothing opens.  I've used the same procedure previously and had no problem opening the embedded file, and I don't think I changed any settings anywhere...but obviously I could be wrong...  BTW, I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.  Any ideas?  Thanks,
