Microsoft Word 2016 do not open recent documents

In my previous version of Word, when I launched it would open all the docs that have been left open, when I left. It was really great for helping me to remember what I was working on when I stopped changed my Mac.

It seems to be controlled in the system preferences of Mac (not in MS Word preferences.) In the General preferences pane, I deselected 'Close the windows when you exit an application', but still it does not reopen what was open when I quit Word. I have to go in my recent documents and reopen all individually in my last session.

Someone knows how to fix this? (This does not really seem like the community just to publish on, but I can't seem to find an appropriate place.)

If it is not a direct solution, if you have the word preserved in the Dock, even when closed, you can right-click on it to get the list of recently used files and open like that.

  • Unless it is opened through Microsoft Word itself do not open files

    I can't open Word Documents or PowerPoint presentations when I download them through the internet or if they are already on my computer.  The only way I can open them is by clicking on 'Open' in the tab file on one of these programs.  If I just try to double-click a file on my computer, rather than the button 'open' on Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, the following error message appears: "the operating system is not allowed to execute this program."

    Please let me know if you have an idea of what this might be or if I need to explain it more clearly. Thank you!

    Check which program is currently set as the default for Word and Powerpoint

    Start-> Control Panel-> default programs-> associate a file or Protocol with a program type

    Scroll down to the 1st one (.doc) and check what he said, which should be "Microsoft Office Word".

  • Acrobat Pro DC freezes when creating a PDF from the Clipboard and gives an error message when you create a pdf from Microsoft Word 2016.

    Two weeks ago I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro since Acrobat Pro XI DC. Create a PDF from Clipboard in appearance from a status bar results, lessons for 25%, at which point Acrobat "freezes" "." " Similarly, when using the feature to create a file PDF in Microsoft Word 2016, a progress bar appears, gets to 25%, then the error message "Microsoft Word has stopped working", restart Word, and a message recommending that the Acrobat Add-in is disabled.

    To revert to a version earlier office 2013 or 2016 Office in the form of installation of Office 365, you must use a command line and specify the build number, that you want to return.

    1. As Office 365 facilities are automatically updated in the background, you must disable the automatic updates first. This can be done in any application Office 365 via:
      File-> Office account-> Update Options-> disable updates
    2. Open a command prompt:
      1. Start-> type:cmd
      2. Click on: command prompt
      3. Choose: Run as administrator

  • After that 13/08/09 update, Word 2007 will not open files

    This morning, my Vista Ultimate computer had restarted after the installation of updates.  Now, I can't open attachments to emails or Windows Exploere Word 2007 documents.  Also, I can't get an insertion point to work within an open document.  I can use the keys on the keyboard such as Tab to navigate, but not my mouse.  I threw a few batteries perfectly well when it happened first, thinking it was that, but my mouse works in other programs now except Word.

    Word 2007 Enterprise can always open a document, if I first open Word and go to the list of recent files.  But I can't use my mouse.

    If I try to open the exact some files from Windows Explorer, it does nothing.

    I already checked the file associations and ensured that any attached Word ran by looking in the Task Manager.

    There is no problem at all before these updates.

  • When I download something at this time, it displays the logo of microsoft word, but does not show the picture logo .so I can do now

    When I download an image with Firefox than time, it shows only the Microsoft word logo but do not show the logo of the photo, so when I open the download file it show only the Microsoft word file. and I don't see my folder. but now what can I do?...

    What file extension, these files get when save you them?

    If they do not have a file extension valid for a picture as a .jpg or .png then try to rename the files and give them an extension of .jpg file to see if that helps.

    If Windows hides the file extension and then use quotes ("image.jpg") around the name.

    You can check the type of file using the context menu > properties.

  • Do not open the document of pages

    Hello world

    I would really appreciate if you guys could help out me here. I have a macbook to the more recent Mac OS x (El Capitan), and last night I was working very well on a document Pages (the latest version). All of a sudden, the app froze and I had to 'force quit' this to get out. Today, I can't even open the file. I double-click on it, and it opens not only up - no pop ups is on the "wrong version" or whatever it is. It is enough to open up. In the rare case it does, or if I create a new document of first pages and pages thanks to Jeff with shortened shift clicking sound, it lags behind every 5 seconds. I am so angry and disappointed with Apple.

    Please help me.

    Thank you, the community,

    What version explicit pages (menu Pages: pages) do you use? From experience, we have found that when users of State 'later' is not always the case. The latest version of Pages was v5.6.1, I have here. How old is your MacBook Pro and the amount of RAM you have installed (Apple logo: about this Mac)?

    Whenever you have to force the Pages to quit smoking, you should hold the SHIFT key when the reopening of this document - standard procedure. Have you tried alternative methods of opening this document?

    1. Press and hold control (two fingers tap if configured) on the document icon, open the with: Pages (by default) (5.?.?).
    2. Launch pages: file selector: click on the document icon: open (even in the form of Pages: File menu: open...)
    3. Pages: File Menu: open the recent item...: Document name
    4. Document icon drag and drop on the icon of the application in the Dock Pages (v5)

    A ream v5 of Pages can be the result of a complete document full of large images, or else that the operating system that is in competition with Pages of system resources. If you have too many applications open simultaneously with Pages, you may be running low on available memory. If your hard disk is almost full, which causes the operating system to slow down. And if Spotlight indexes your drive start or other readers, this will cause a general slowness on your Mac to subject the first 30 to 60 minutes after you turn it on.

  • Need help - Acrobat 9.4 will not open scanned documents

    I have a computer in my office that will not open documents scanned into Acrobat 9.4. Acrobat opens but is just a gray screen.  Documents that have been converted to PDF from Word/Excel/etc format will be opened very well.

    Adobe Reader 10 X is also installed on the computer and open up scanned documents, but the user should be able to go and edit documents, this drive is not enough for him.

    Troubleshooting ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Because the scans are pictures you must go in Edition > Preferences > Page display and put a check mark in the box "Show large images" that should allow you to see the scans.

  • new numbers does not open old documents

    So when I have updated the computer my version of numbers updated. Now I have problem trying to open old documents & have to choose the version of numbers to use. Super irritating. Why have I not 2 versions of numbers instead of a updated version that works well for all my files of numbers?

    You had iWorks ' 09 (numbers v2.3) installed. When you have installed v3.6.1 numbers (a completely different application), he moved silently Numbers ' 09 v2.3 in Applications: iWork ' 09 file. 3.6.1 numbers will open spreadsheets of calculating Numbers ' 08 and ' 09, as long as they do not include features that are not supported in numbers 3.6.1.

    If you click on the red light on the title bar left to close a document, it does not actually stop Numbers ' 09. The application continues to run and will be in ambush of any attempt to open a Numbers spreadsheet. When this worksheet is created by a rejection any numbers v3, you will get the following message:

    because the architecture of document numbers v3 is not compatible with Numbers ' 09. The solution is to actually leave Numbers ' 09 and then just double-click the spreadsheet him open correctly in numbers 3.6.1.

  • Microsoft Outlook 2007 does not open.

    I know this is a long message, however, I want to help based on what I have or have not is. We use Windows XP, Office 2007 student and teacher edition, Outlook 2007.  Norton is our protection.  SuddenLink is our internet.
    This was the week that won't stop.  Friday February 4 our computer has a virus called Axel.dav.  It destroyed the program file after file.  We ended up calling Norton.  We paid 99.00 for them remotely access our computer in order to remove this virus.  Problem solved.  However, the programs were still gone.

    We have recharged our Microsoft Office 2007 home and student version.  I know that there is no Outlook, but I didn't, so we relocated our copy of Outlook.   Although we have installed Outlook, my mail was rather to Outlook Express. With this problem in front of me, I called Suddenlink who helped with the right setting that outlook has started to work. It worked fine for a few days. Then, I was looking for an email I need and who had been backed up on an external drive.

    When I clicked on the email address (ended up being not not the one I need), it opened with Outlook Express.  It's an email that my husband had saved at work (where they use Outlook Express). A message came saying: do you want to be your default e-mail, Outlook Express and I said no once we clicked on this email then Outlook Express took over and now Office Outlook will not open.  We tried everything from the system restore to reset navigation panel, to fix Outlook and Office CDs and their reloading.

    I'm lost.  I've never asked a question before so I really hope that you have all the information to help.

    Thank you
