Office application do not close

OS X includes a program by the name of Disk Utility which is in the
Applications/Utilities folder. One of the routines is to Repair Disk
Permissions. If that [or something comparable] never has been used on your
system it may very well be why you're having the problem -- I don't know
that it *will* correct it but it might & it definitely won't hurt. Disk
Utility's Help menu will give you all you need to know about running it...
It's a simple point-click-wait operation :-)

reinstalling office software

Posted: 22 Aug 2009 06:54 PM PDT

We have few insights here on the download procedures... The participants
here are users who already have the product & have never had reason to
purchase by way of the download. This is a new availability with which we
have virtually no experience & very little information, so I'd suggest you
contact MS Support for the best answer.

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/contactus.mspx

My guess [FWIW] is...

What you downloaded is a disk image (.dmg) which you can copy from one
system to another & install on each based on the different Product Keys that
were sent to you. IOW, it isn't 3 separate downloads from the Digital River
site. If you elected the option for the $12.95 DVD you'll also be able to
install from it once it arrives.

If you didn't order the DVD & have deleted the .dmg I don't know what you
may have to do to receive another. Again, MS Support can help on that.

You might also check in any supporting filed (such as ReadMe) that were
included in the download for further instructions.

Good Luck |:>)

Your friend could have downloaded Office from the net and the keys you are
using are illegal. Regardless you need the DVD to do a re-install.

Product key for new installation

Posted: 19 Aug 2009 03:28 AM PDT

P.S. -- With the Home & Student Edition there should be 3 separate stickers,
each Key representing a separate License. Use whichever of the 3 you wish,
but it's a good idea to make a notation somewhere as to which one you use.
If you use the same Key on different networked Macs you can't run any Office
programs on the one while any Office programs are running on the other if
the same Key was used for both installs.

I usually identify each key as A, B, C & use a sticky note indicating which
Key was used on which systems. Put the sticky on the envelope along with the
Keys & keep the disk in the sleeve in a safe place. It not only helps avoid
conflicting installs but also makes it easier to reuse the right Key if you
ever have to re-install Office.

Did this start immediately after an Office update?

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the

Hi,
Sorry, it's not only the employer, but employees are all affected. Accessing
OWA in office and home gives the same result.

We had tried creating a test account to login to OWA in office as well as
home, yet it still gives the same crossed icon.

When I login to my OWA, I will see a logon page, after I login; I can see my
inbox as per normal. But on the top left hand corner where the OWA logon is
supposed to show, is displaying a crossed icon instead.

Is there any way I can send you an attachment of my print screen?

We are starting a new/clean domain because the old one is hosed/flakey from

We also have a new server with win2003/exchange 2003 loaded.

SMTP address.

Posted: 04 Nov 2005 12:18 PM PST

Excuse me, but i probably have bad related the problem. I have changed the
primary SMTP address only for one user, to make a test, so when this user
send e-mail to internet the postmaster can verify it because it can be
resolved over internet. After doing this the outgoing post work properly both
internet/intranet whit both address. The ingoing e-mail work properly in
intranet (exchanging messages whit other intranet user works fine). The
problem is whit the POP3 connector tha download the internet post from my
ISP. The connector works properly, but if the primary address is the to the
one that works correctly for internet ( suffix .it) the message are not
forwarded to the post box. If i change back the primary address to the one
whit .local suffix it works.

Don't bother importing the messages - just leave them in the PST file.
They're just for reference, right? Probably a lot of them are going to be
disposed of anyhow?

You can drag/drop specific mails or folders into the default folders of the
Supervisor's mailbox or you could create custom folders in the Supers box
and copy to those if you really wanted to.

I don't like using PST as primary data store, but for archive or just to
stow messages for reference it's o.k.

Equation editor not showing items

Hi there,

I am having equation editor issues in word 2010.  Basically I can click to enter an equation and the 'type equation here' appears, however when I click again to enter an operator or symbol, it comes up blank, thus I can't enter my desired equations.

I have tried the compatibility pack, reinstalled the office suite and tried every other option that I can think of (and have found on the web).  I paid for the office package for all of the features to work, not so I have to find an alternative feature that is not as user friendly (I can enter an equation editor 3.0 version by going through insert etc)!

I have attached a visual representation of my issue below.  

Please help!

Permission denied error while opening a file which i OWN

Posted: 21 Dec 2013 09:48 AM PST

Hi

I have an important MS Word 2013 document which i have created few days earlier.

Now, when i try to open the file by double clicking it i get the below error

"This message can appear if a file has been saved with permissions. Permissions, also known as rights or privileges, can be applied to a file, folder, or almost any resource available from a network (printers, shares, files, databases, Web sites, etc). When a user attempts to open a resource that requires specific user permissions, this message will appear if the user does not have the required permissions.
Permissions can be set for individual users, groups of users, or for a specific computer. Usually, this message appears if you are using a network to which administrators have applied permissions for specific users and groups, or if you are accessing a resource local to a specific user's computer, but are blocked because of local permissions that have been set by that user. If you cannot open a resource on a file server or other computer on your network, you will most likely need to review your user account settings to determine whether you have the necessary permissions to gain access to the resource. If you do not know whether you have the necessary permissions, contact your network administrator or the owner of the computer with the shared resources.
Usually, this message does not appear if you are using disk drives formatted with a FAT or FAT32 file system. Drives formatted with NTFS, HPFS, or another file format that provides the ability to apply permissions, are capable of forcing this message.
Occasionally, the computer that grants users access to a network can lose the information that is used to authenticate a specific user. When this happens, the only option available is to turn your computer off for thirty seconds, and then restart your computer (you must turn off the computer to clear the cached information in the network card). Restarting may reset the authentication information that is used to grant you access to the network. If this does not work, you must contact the network administrator to have your account reset. It is also possible that the network administrator has disabled your account.
There is also the possibility that the file you are attempting to open is restricted through Information Rights Management (IRM). IRM is an alternate form of file restriction access that allows creators of a file the ability to limit editing, copying, printing, or forwarding of content. If the file is restricted and you require access to its contents, you must contact the creator or owner of the file to request that they add your user ID to the list of users who are allowed to access the file."

I have neither formatted my machine or tweaked any permissions of the file. However i am unable to open the file.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Word 2013 Equations. Problem: accents signs on letters i and j hides dot.

Posted: 21 Dec 2013 07:49 AM PST

Hello,


There are problems in Word 2013, this also happened in 2010 version of it.


When I type simple math with vectors or any other signs on letters "i" and "j" (basically on any letter which has a dot on it), the dot disappears.


I am attaching an example:

As it is shown, it also happens even then there is other symbols, higher then letter "i" or "j".

The same with most accent signs.


I am using Office 365, and all updates are installed. Activated, no problems. Windows 7, 8, 8.1 doesn't matter.

Office document format is standard for Office 2013 *.docx.


Thank you for any help.

Selection of letters and words to edit too fast and seems out of control

Posted: 21 Dec 2013 02:51 AM PST

I have this problem sometimes in both Word and Outlook (2007) and Windows 7;

Sometimes when I try to select a single letter or a word of a sentence, what I end selecting is the entire paragraph or a few lines.  This happens too fast, before I am able to react and then I have to deselect the unintended selection and start again and have to try a few time again, slowly, until I am able to select finally exactly what I want. 

I think that I have noticed this behavior for a little while now, and I think it gets worse and intensifies after the automatic windows updates (or other updates?)

It is like I inherited this from an update or some unintended changes in the computer, like something  is not coordinated there.  Not sure why.  I might be wrong with the associations; it might be a setting somewhere that has changed and that I need to correct?.

After the Automatic Windows updates I notice loose behavior and fast movements everywhere sometimes, then some of these settle and correct....

Let me ask, is there a setting somewhere in Outlook or Word that will correct this situation to let me select exactly what I want?

Thanks in advance.

Heading 2 and 3 missing in Word 2013

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 11:18 PM PST

Hello I'm trying to create a table of contents, and so far everything has gone ok after learning how to set one up (Word 2013, Windows 8).  It functions fine, updates ok (set to manual).  The problem I am having is when I want to add additional levels.  The TOC set-up shows that I have Headings 1, 2, and 3.  But when I go to Home tab->Styles, only Heading 1 (along with a bunch of others) is there-  No heading 2 or 3.  I tried creating them, but it says the name (Heading 2) is already reserved, so it must be somewhere.  How do I find it/access it so I can use it in my document and in my TOC?
Thank you,

macro extract sentence from multiple files , and arrange sentence in order

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 05:25 PM PST

Hi

 

I would like to extract every line of sentences in each doc and place in a new doc in order. By the word "order" I meant below

For example, These are sentences in each doc :

 

Doc 1

 Sentence A. Sentence B. Sentence C ….

 

Doc 2

Sentence 1. Sentence 2. Sentence 3

 

Doc 3

Sentence !. Sentence @. Sentence # ..

 

And I like to arrange them as below using Macro

 

Doc New

Sentence A

Sentence 1

Sentence !

 

Sentence B

Sentence 2

Sentence @

 

Sentence 3

Sentence C

Sentence #

 

For every sentence in a doc 1 there is a sentence in doc 2 to be placed right below that sentence in doc 1

and for every sentence in doc 2 , there is a sentence in doc 3 to be placed right below that sentence in doc 2

and on and on

 

here is my work to help you better understand my intention.

it was originally a sinlge doc "1" and I replicated it into multiple docs "2,3.."

and I wrote explanatory sentence for each line of sentence in doc 1 not right below the sentence 1 in the doc 1 but in the sentences in doc 2 and deleted an actual sentence after I wrote an explanation in doc 2 so there are only explanations left in doc 2 .  so original content in doc 1 and explanation in doc 2 totally separated and kept in perfect order. And I want now to match the sentence to its explanation.

 

I did this because it would be easier to keep them separated and combine then to separate them after working every thing on Doc 1

 

By the way all the sentences end with dot and they are kept in perfect order .

 

I have looked several extract VBA macros and there weren't any that could do the job and modification would be in the level I cannot even dream of

 

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks!



Office 2010 on Windows 7 x64 slow opening documents on C: drive.

Posted: 20 Dec 2013 05:14 PM PST

Hi,


I support a number of domain joined laptops running office 2010 (32 bit) & Windows 7 Pro x64. If a user saves a document to the local C: drive, shuts down the laptop and then logs in and connects to a home network it can take several minutes for Word or Excel to open the documents. In contrast opening a document from an offline folder (domain share) works normally.


Currently the only work-around I have is to tell the users to

a) disconnect from their home network or

b) ensure they do not log off or restart their laptop while not connected to the domain i.e. put the laptop to sleep or

c) save the documents to the offline folder


Does anyone have any idea for the cause of this behaviour or a suggested fix?

For a couple days I have been trying to sign on to this program with this question but kept getting a note saying there was a problem and to try later. That was using my new windows 8 laptop. Surprisingly, I got through to you instantly on my old laptop I which decided to try.

You may want to also look into purchasing more RAM for your computer.
While 512MB is sufficient for Windows XP, 1GB of RAM will make
everything run smoother.

Reclaiming Header and Footer Space

Posted: 26 Mar 2007 05:17 AM PDT

Mark M Morse had de volgende lumineuze gedachte op 30-03-07 11:50: 

Dear Mark,

I am sorry to hear this. I remember once removing the header and footer
in the way described, but that was with Works 6. I just checked this
method with Works 6: I can make an "envelope" of size A4 (European) and
change the page layout to what I want (my margins). It is very well
possible that this work around has been removed in Works 8. A lot of
things have been removed in the succeeding versions. I don't use Works
anymore, except when functioning as a "helpdesk" for friends. I have a
dual boot computer now and use Linux with Openoffice.org. Apart from the
irritations with the newer versions of Works I choose this OS for the
security on the internet it gives me.

If you find a solution, please post it here. I am still visiting this NG
in order to be able to help my friends if necessary.

Good luck,

Erik.

Working With Comma-Separated-Values Data

Posted: 24 Mar 2007 12:30 PM PDT

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the clarification.

However, I have experienced situations when pasting information into Works
Word Processor, the processor does not remove some types of hidden encoding.
The reason I mentioned using Notepad like a washing machine, it will
(washout) remove everything.

I have never been able to view this hidden encoding, just know that by
washing the information thru Notepad resolves the situation.

I like using the Works set of programs like it's processor, spreadsheet and
database for simple projects, mostly for their simplicity to use. Actually
I probably use them ninety percent of the time.

However for more complicated word processor projects I use Microsoft Word.

I am also learning OpenOffice, a suite similar to Microsoft Office.

You might want to check out http://www.openoffice.org/ it's free.

Works 8.5 update for Spreadsheet and Works Database Printing

Posted: 21 Mar 2007 02:43 PM PDT

The "more detail from the knowledge base" link says that this fix applies to
"Hewlett Packard (HP) Photosmart 2570 series printer or to an HP 7200 series
printers "

Is it acknowledged as a GENERAL fix for other HP printers also ? (Mine is a
PSC 2210)
