Launching Word 2013 causes UAC to ask for permission to make changes.

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 02:38 PM PDT

Hello,

I have been having an issue when I launch Word 2013 it always asks for permission to make changes to the system. I have tried to run the compatibility wizard to fix the problem, since Windows 8 no longer has the compatibility tab in properties, and sometimes I can get it to stop asking, but after a few weeks it will start asking again. Or another issue I run in to is certain settings in the capability wizard will cause windows to no longer allow me to open documents downloaded in the chrome browser because an error comes up saying I need to repair Microsoft Office, which running repair doesn't fix the issue. The UAC prompt is just an annoyance and would be nice to no longer have it ask for no reason. It only asks when launching Word and not any other of the office suite programs.

OS: Windows 8.1

Office 2013 Student

UAC setting: Default

 

Why Does a .docx Created in Word 2010 Open in "Compatibility Mode" in Word 2013?

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 02:33 PM PDT

I have documents originally created in Word 2010 and saved in .docx format. These documents have never been opened in anything other than Word 2010 and have never been saved in anything other than .docx format.

When I open these same documents in Word 2013, Word says they are in "Compatibility Mode." Why should they be in Compatibility Mode if they have always been saved as .docx?

Office (2000) fails in Win 8.1

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 01:04 PM PDT

OK, my version of Office Pro is old (2000, SP3 with all updates till support stopped), but I paid for it and it does the job so why pay $s for the latest? 

I installed and used it in all modes (except for some of the ODBC drivers missing) in Win 8, no problems.

Now "upgraded" to Win 8.1.  (Bad move)

I can open Word or Excel and use [File][Open] and select a file OK and all the other functions work but, if I double click the .doc or .xls file in a folder (or right click and [Open with] although Word or Excel window opens the file does not open.  Instead I get a popup window with the message "There was a problem while sending the command to the program".

It cannot be access rights as I can open the file from the menu.

I have tried un-installing and re-installing (after removing all traces of Office) but still the same.

I have tried setting compatabilty for all users, no go.

Have MS done a nasty in the upgrade to "promote" sales?

Oddly, Visio works fine.

Can anyone suggest a reason/solution?

Regards

How come as soon as I open Microsoft Word 2013 and start typing it freezes then insists on closing?

Posted: 21 Sep 2014 08:09 AM PDT

Hello and thanks for your assistance!

As stated above I have encountered a very frustrating error on Microsoft Word 2013. Every time I open my document and begin typing it suddenly freezes then displays a dialog box saying "We're sorry, Microsoft Word has encountered an error and needs to close." The box has 3 buttons including "repair" "help" or "close." I chose repair and it just caused it to continue to freeze before closing. I am at a complete loss and as I am a college student this is becoming increasingly troublesome. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a Windows 8.1 Laptop and I am having issues with Office 2013. I am unable to start Word yet My PC is up-to-date and I tried re starting the computer. I went to Control Panel and selected the "Quick Repair" For Microsoft Office and discovered "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly..." (Microsoft Click-to-Run issue). What should I do? I am stuck on this click-to-run issue.

Transform Tab not where it should be in Word Art

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 09:49 PM PDT

Hi All.

I would appreciate some help on this one. When workin in Word Art under the special effects tab where I am suppose to find "Transform" I believe. On my machine this is missing.

I do have the others such as Preset, Shadow, Reflection etc but no Transform tab.  Any help on why this may be the case to assist me in getting there would be appreciated.

I am running Win 8.1 64bit, with Office 2013 SP1 32bit.

Many thanks

Dave.

Can't open Word Documents 2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2014 07:50 AM PDT

Whenever i try to open a word document this message comes up:

Word experienced an error trying to open this file.

Try these suggestions

*Check the file permissions for document or drive

*Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space

*Open file with text recovery converter

I can't work out what the problem is, i know i have enough memory and disk space, i've tried repairing Microsoft office,  i've tried the "Repair and open" option, i'm just not sure what to do.

My school uses "Studywiz" for saving documents, and opening them at home, i wondered if it was a problem with that, but my brother can open all his documents and his word is from the same disc as mine,

Please help!!!!!
