Word has disappeared

Hi everybody, I was running Microsoft AutoUpdate when my battery died. When I rebooted, Word had vanished! The other Office applications are still there, but not Word. Spotlight can't find it, it's not in trash, not in the Applications folder. Help! Can it be recovered or will I need to reinstall?
Thanks
Dunc

Reinstalling Office is simply a matter of drag and drop the Microsoft Office folder from the installation disc to the Applications folder on your hard drive.
Upon reopening any Office application, it will proceed to verify no file is missing. If for some reason that crashes, go to Microsoft's update site and reapply the update in question.

  • Microsoft Word has disappeared from Macbook, I can't open word files

    Microsoft Word has disappeared from my MacBook, I can't open my Word files and need to asap. How do I fix this?

    Not simple, on the other side of the world on job search and my install discs not with me. Any other suggestions?
    If Word is actually gone (apps don't just disappear) then you can download a copy of LibreOffice, it is free, and Word compatible.

  • "Share" word has disappeared from menu bar - can't burn DVD

    I know I burned a DVD in the distant past by clicking on "Share - burn DVD" in the menu bar but the word "Share" seems to have disappeared from my menu bar. I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6 (I think). What happened to the "Share" word and how do I get it back? If I reinstall from my original discs, won't I get the iPhoto 5 version?? Will my recent photos disappear?? Thanks for any help.

    When you're in iPhoto go to the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the menu bar and select About iPhoto. That will give you the version of iPhoto you have.
    If you tried to run an iPhoto 6 updater on iPHoto 5 that may be the reason you're having trouble with iPhoto. Check the version and post back.
    If you have iPhoto 6 then go to the View->Show in Tool Bar menu option and see if what you want is checked or unchecked. Those items will show up in the bottom tool bar.
    Do you Twango?

  • Microsoft Word 2004 disappeared from my dock

    After installing Leopard:
    Word has disappeared from my dock - actually, it was replaced by a large question mark.
    I cant find it in the Office 2004 folder in the applications directory. Any suggestions?

    I had that happen to. I closed out the program then double clicked on it (the question mark) and the icon came back.

  • IWorks has disappeared. How can I open documents saved as Word 97 from Pages stored on Dropbox?

    iWorks has disappeared.  How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • My Microsoft Word for Mac has disappeared.

    I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 Macbook Pro 15. I am using Microsoft Office 2011. All the programs are working except for Word. It has disappeared and when I went to click on a Word document they converted to a Text Edit file. Please advise.

    No, it is not in the Application folder. When I try to click the "W" on the dock, a question mark shows up over the "w". Should I try to reinstall the program from the disk?
    The Dock icons are just a "alias" to there the original is. Drag the W icon off the Dock.
    Somehow your original program disappeared, perhaps it wasn't paid for.
    You can launch Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder and click on your drive on the left and First Aid > Verify Disk and Repair Permisisons.
    If "Verify Disk" (only) gives any warnings, you need to immediatly backup your user file folders (Music, Documents etc) onto a external drive and disconnect, your internal hard drive is going to fail soon.
    The Repair Permissions warnings you can ignore.
    After you have done both, then search for Word in your Applications folder, if you find it, just drag it's icon to the Dock.
    If it's not there, then reinstall the program from the disk and then drag the icon to the Dock.
    If you can't reinstall Word or Office, then simply use the free LibreOffice, it will work just the same.
    Always maintain two sperate hardware backups of your personal data at all times.

  • PSD files saved in TemporaryItems has disappeared.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh PSD files saved in TemporaryItems has disappeared.
    Hi I was working in Photoshop CS5.1 (OS X 10.7.5) and the original image I started with was saved in TemporaryItems, long story short I spent 4 hours working on an illustration and saving the .psd files\ versions in the same TemporaryItems folder, planning to move all the files tonight. Just came back to it and the files are gone! I may cry pixel tears, desperately running out of swear words.
    If anyone can help I would be so very appreciative.
    Cheers Matt from Melbourne

    Silly question, but, are you sure that's where Photoshop was saving? I've had it happen before where I open a file from folder A, then do a Save As, only to find that (for whatever reason) Photoshop has been saving to some other folder entirely.
    Have you tried Open Recent Files in photoshop to see if maybe they were saved somewhere else?
    Or, try this; go to Photoshop, create a blank document, then immediately Save As and look at where it's pointing. If it is not at the Temporary folder you expect, look there for your files.
    Failing that, have you tried a search on your computer?
    Silly. But I'm trying to cover all the bases.

  • Desktop screen keeps flashing black and dock has disappeared. iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1

    Recently I updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. All was operating smoothly for a few weeks until one day i started up and logged in my dock was nowhere to be seen. The desktop screen started flashing black replacing my desktop image. None of my desktop icons disappear when this happens. screen keeps flashing black every few seconds. Also the dock has disappeared.
    I have restarted in safe boot and it makes no changes.
    iMAC X Yosemite 10.10.1
    Please help!

    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 and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • The quick link button to my email account has disappeared from my Firefox home page. How can I get it back again ?

    When I used to click onto the Internet Firefox icon to get onto my home page, the top of the screen gave me a click on-link direct to my hotmail email a/c. For some reason that has disappeared. I can still do it via the Internet Explorer icon, but the settings are different, and the system does not accept text as readily as it did when using the Firefox. Could someone please tell me how to (in words a techno phobe can understand and follow) insert this link back onto the Firefox home page. Many thanks...

    Perhaps the button was on your Bookmarks Toolbar. Can you make sure that bar is displayed? You can turn toolbars on and off using any of these methods to display a toolbar list:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar, or the "+" button on the tab bar
    * "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    * tap the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar temporarily, then View > Toolbars
    Does that help?
    Also, you can access your Hotmail account using http://hotmail.com/ and Microsoft will redirect you to the secure login page.

    Don't recall the exact wording. But it is the same in appearance as others.  Anyway, problem solved using RogerWilmut1 reply to someone else.  I opened Applications and got the icon back.  Thanks for responding.

  • The panel with White Balance, contrast, exposure, whites, blacks, etc. has disappeared from my Develop screen

    The panel with White Balance, Exposure, Contrast, Tone, Whites, Blacks, etc has disappeared from my Develop screen.  The control panel on the right side now starts with Tone Curve and I can't find a way to revert back to the screen with the other adjustments. I need to know how to correct this problem.
    This is what I'm working with now:

    Right click 'Tone Curve' (the title/words) and enable 'Basic'.
    Do you see it?

  • HT203167 I had over 80 gigs of music on my ITunes - most of which is my own music some has disappeared and many duplications now present - what is going on

    1.   Albums disappleared - songs gone
    2.   duplicates all over the place not necessarily repeats or difference performances of which there are some
    3.   Luckily for me I have all my music on an external drive so as far as I am concerned it is not lost - however
    how did this mess arise and how is this mess recitfied
    4.   Some of what has disappeared is music which has never been published - who chose and why to delete this

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
