  • Mavericks - Word for Mac, saving docs problem after installing Mavericks

    I have Word for Mac. Since installing Mavericks, when I download a document, I am unable to 'save as'  to anywhere but downloads folder. When I select the folder I want save the doc to, 'save' greys out. Help!

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.1.  When I try to open a document, an error occurs, says file type is "blocked from opening in this version."  This was NOT immediately after a version update.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    If that doesn't help, I'd suggest you take up the question in Microsoft's own forums or with Microsoft support.

  • Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents;  program freezes after clicking save

    Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents.  After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit.  Any tips on making Word functional again?

    There was a second Security Update (v1.1).  Did you download that one.  It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update.  At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

  • Mail / pages / numbers quit unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin  in Word for mac a error mesage comes up when trying to print "Error, no pages found/file name"

    Mail will not print, pages will not print . . . pages / mail quits unexpectedly while using the BJPDELocalizedString2 plugin.  Tryed in Word for Mac. . .Error message; no pages found / filename This all happened when I unstalled brother P-touch.

    Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

  • 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.

  • Default font issue in Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks.

    I'm using Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks. When I copy Chinese text into a Word document, Word for some reason assigns it a Japanese font (MS 明朝). When I try to switch between English and Chinese input methods (command + space), the system constantly defaults to Japanese input. This can even happen if I save the entire document (command + A) in Chinese font (宋体). Where can I change this behaviour? I've looked in Word Preferences and System Preferences but can find nothing.
    Notes:
    a. This behaviour is not just a Word problem. It never happened in OS 10.6.
    b. Please don't tell me to just close the Japanese IME because I also use Japanese.

    I never actually found the Tools > Language setting. Would this be in System Preferences > Language and Region?
    Apple preferences are kind of irrelevant for Word.  The place to look for Tools > Language is in the Word menu itself.  And the keyboard/font matching box is in Word preferences/Edit/Editing Options.

  • Spelling/grammar error notification in Word for Mac 2004

    Is there a way to set up Word so that a sound will indicate an error as you are typing?
    Thanks!

    Hi Leslie .....
    As you know you can setup MS Word for mac to underline "in RED" during typing the misspelled word.
    Right click on it and "chance it" if not in the suggested word list you can added the word to your wordbook.
    But, I think that you did know this already ...
    *Also the question you put is here can be very annoying during typing ... to hear every time a "SOUND" would get you out of your concentration, by this way you could make more mistakes as usually*
    It's up to you IF you still looking for a script or anything else to check misspelled words.

  • Maverick: doc saving function in Word for Mac

    I just downloaded Maverick for my 2010 iMac. I'm happy with it but for one problem: saving documents in my Word for Mac 2008 is a royal pain.
    Instead of the good old one-step save process under Snow Leopard's Word for Mac, Word/Maverick now requires a three-step save process: a "Save as" window followed by a "Replace" window and sometimes followed by a window saying "X doc already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
    Well, duh. Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes for it? I looked for a patch from Microsoft but no luck.
    Thanks and Happy New Year.

  • Why does word for mac 2011 error

    When I am using the word for mac that came installed on my Mac Book Pro, it frequently errors and has to close and I loose my work.  Even though I choose the option to send the report and recover my work, i have lost many things.
    Why does this happen?

    To my knowledge, Apple does not supply MacBook Pros with MS Word installed.
    Pls specify exactly what app and what version you are talking about. If it is really MS Word, then it's possible it wasn't correctly installed. You should re-install MS Office, and then update it, if applicable.

  • Help!!!! I am downloading word for Mac from my school and the installer program froze

    Help!!!! I just bought my Mac earlier today and I began to download a free copy of Word for Mac. The download went great, but the installation is not working. I received a pop up saying I had to close Safari in order to continue. I closed it, hit the continue button and installer froze. Now the pop up keeps blinking on and off and I have this black and white spinning wheel of death. Also the time of the installation keeps increasing. Please help!

  • After installing Snow Leopard, Word for Mac X document prints only top 1/3. Excel, PDF is fine...only word is a problem.

    Installed Snow Leopard and later in week went to print out a full page word document (Word for Mac X) and it only printed top 1/3 of page. Checked with PDF and Excel documents and all printed out OK. TextEdit is fine in printing as well. Then created a new document with a sentence on top of page and a sentence on bottom - printed fine.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Since your problem is only w/a Microsoft product, you should contact Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.
