Word documents open in compatibility mode

Word documents open in compatibility mode, I can not save any documents nor make any changed to them. Any word document I open gets the same "sickness"
Thanks for help

Hi,
I am writing to see how everything is going with this issue. Have you tried to update the printer driver? Is the problem resolved?

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!

SharePoint document open in edit mode

I am successfully able to click on file://urltosharepointdocument.docx on my outlook email and the SharePoint document opens in edit mode and i can edit and saves it perfect. But when I use the following in html page i.e.
<a href="file://urltosharepointdocument.docx">Test</a> it prompts for Open and when i click on it and edit the stuff it saves it fine, but I don't see the edit data, it shows the correct modified date but without edits.

Hi MIXAYA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. In OS X, by default apps will open with any previously opened documents opening as well. To disable this feature, select "Close windows when quitting an application" from System Preferences > General. To learn more, see this article:
OS X Mavericks: General preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
Close windows when quitting an application
If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.
Cheers,

I get a blank word document opening every time i reboot my iMac after upgrading to OS Lion.

I get a blank word document opening every time i reboot my iMac after upgrading to OS Lion. ANy ideas how to get rid of it? I have uncheked everything in mu users and groups and unchecked restore windows in the general file.

When you logout did you uncheck the Reopen windows when logging back in check box at the bottom of the logout window.

Every time i open a word document ALL my word documents open as separate windows. Same with PowerPoints. How do i fix this?!

If you are using Apple's Mail app, whichever os you have, post in its os/Mail forum area.

Dock disappears and Word documents open

I'm having trouble lately where the dock is disappearing for a moment, and when it comes back a bunch of Word documents open up all over the screen. They pop up all over the place and then settle with different ones open and in the foreground.
Is there any place I can check to see why the dock is disappearing, or a way to stop my documents from opening up each time this happens?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Dock) in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why do my Microsoft Word documents open as read-only

I am having trouble saving my Word documents as they are opening in read-only mode. I cannot find a setting to change the way my Word documents are opening.

Amy, are you reffering to the 'reading mode' in Word, which it uses when you open a Word document that was attached to a message?
There are instructions on [http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/06/10/disable-reading-mode-and-protected-view-in-word-2013/ how to disable that] although it's not in the scope of Thunderbird.
Hope this helps!

MS Word documents open but aren't visible

I've suddenly started having a very strange problem in Word and can't find a post describing a similar problem on either the Apple or the Microsoft Word support discussion fora.
I can open documents, either within Word or directly from my Documents folder, but when they open they aren't visible. I know that they are open because they appear on the list of open windows, both on the menu bar and from the dock. Once I've closed the documents down, they also appear on my Recent Items list under the Apple menu. Worse still, the problem has now spread to my MacBook Pro, so I'm wondering if the problem was caused by a recent software or security update.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this problem (changing the document view, using the arrange documents command under the Windows menu tab), short of reinstalling Office. I don't think that the documents are corrupted, as I get this problem with every Word document that I open (and they open fine in Pages).
Any suggestions to try and fix this problem would be gratefully received.

I had a problem with windows disappearing in Word and other applications. I found the problem was the System Preferences “Expose/Spaces.”
I tried Spaces after I installed Leopard and decided I wouldn’t use it, so I unchecked the Enable box. But Spaces mysteriously re-enabled itself. It would show the application menu bar but no window, even though the file was listed in the Windows menu.
When it happens, you can try cycling through Spaces by using the Control-arrow or Control-1,2,3 or 4 keys. If you ever tried Spaces and then thought you disabled it, this may be happening to you also.
To completely disable Spaces, go to the System Preferences, click the Expose/Spaces icon, click on the Spaces tab, check the Enable Spaces box, and select the applications in the spaces. Then click on the minus button at the bottom of the window. After removing all the applications, uncheck the Enable box again.
I don’t know if this is the problem with your computer or not. It seems unlikely it is a virus, as others suggested and from what you have replied. Checking the Spaces System Preferences and trying what I did to remove the applications from the Spaces function couldn’t hurt, unless you really want to use Spaces. In that case, try using the Control-arrow or Control-1, 2, or 3 key combinations when it doesn’t show the document window.
This method worked for some others:

Words documents opened from portal display website instead of document

A user is opening Word documents from a newly-created section of our portal to find that the Word document displays the website instead of the text that is supposed to be in the document. Saving the document first and then opening it works fine.
It seems similar to this issue:
WWC-41400 when accessing PowerPoint docs
with the following key differences:
1. It doesn't actually display an error. The screen that appears in the Word document looks somewhat like our login screen, but without the login text.
2. This problem only started happening after we redid a section of our website. The new section contains the same documents, but it was rebuilt on the top level of our navigation rather than where it was before.
3. The user only has this problem with the new section of the website--not the previous implementation of that section and not with the rest of the portal website. It only seems to be the new section we developed.
It doesn't seem like she needs to upgrade Word, as Powerpoint was upgraded in the referenced URL above, because it's working elsewhere in the portal. Are there any issues related to us developing the new section of the website that would cause this? Thank you for any assistance.

If Adobe documents are automatically saved instead of opened, check the Applications panel in Firefox ("Tools -> Options -> Applications") and change the action for PDF documents to either "Use Adobe Reader" if you want to use the application or "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox" if you want the PDF file to open inside a Firefox browser window via the Adobe Acrobat plugin. If you want to be asked what to do with PDF files each time, select "Always Ask" for the action. See* [[Managing file types]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]].

Running OS 10.9. When I open Microsoft Word, all my previous Word documents open at once and crashes the program.

I open a document and all my documents open one after another. i cannot access anything in Microsoft Word. After about 30 seconds of opening documents, Word crashes. This behavior only occurs in Word.

The images were orinigally just copied & pasted onto the documents from the Internet. There was no linking to pictures. Copy & paste & they have been on those docs for years. Now when I open the same docs up in Pages, it states that the document has been adjusted and that headers, footers and images have been removed. I press ok, open the new Pages version of the doc, and hey presto - all images have gone, text moved around etc.

GRPO Document Opening in Update Mode

Hi All
When i saved the GRPO Document and again i try to navigate to the saved document it is opening in update mode and if i update then it become 'ok' mode and again if i try to navigate the posted document it is opening in update mode again
how can i overcome this issue
iam using PL10 and iam also using User Defined fields in the Title Level Document
Thanks in Advance

Hi Madhu......
I think you have applied FMS on any one of the field and kept it refresh regularly on some other field. So either you should remove the FMS or you should keep it on display saved values. This will fix your problem.....

Linking Word documents/Open in Word

I am working in Dreamweaver 8. I have a link to a Word
document (template with a dot extension). I would like to know if
there is a way to have the document open in Word rather than
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Thanks,
Jamie

I don't think there is a way, although there might be some
special IE proprietary feature that I am
not aware of.
In any case, note that for anybody who's using another
browser than IE, the word document will
download to their desktop.

Update word documents open

After installing supplemental update for OS X v10.7.5, when I open microsoft word, all my documents open. The only way I have found to stop the mayhem is command option escape. Any ideas?

Here's a nice post on When will Office 2011 be compatible with LIon.
Here's the blog post on it.
Here's Apple's Known issues with lion.
Maybe you'll find something usefull there. Pay attention to the updates Microsoft provides to address problems.

Word documents open as blank document (Word 2013)

Hello,
We currently have a Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment with Office 2013 Pro installed. Some users are experiencing issues where when they double click on a word document on a network drive, the application launches but a blank document is presented instead.
It seems to happen on almost majority of the documents but other users can open them fine. The only fix/workaround we've found so far is to rebuild their profile on the Xenapp server. This workaround, however, doesn't solve the problem as
it tends to re-occur after a period of time.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Kevin

It is related to Content Redirection feature in Xenapp.
You must read following discussion and follow "Miguel Resende's" solution to fix your issue.
