Word won't open on mac
Hello
I had the same problem, what I did was the following and I was able to solve
1- Uninstall the office for mac as follows https://support.office.com/es-es/article/desinstalar-office-para-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3
2- Download and install the Mac OS Mojave operating system again
and with those two steps I was able to reopen the microsoft programs
Hi Francisco. My iMac cannot upgrade past Sierra so not compatible with Mojave :-(
Hello Rakesh
if you uninstall the office with the link that I shared and reinstall Sierra to see if that works for you
Hi Rakesh and Francisco,
Firstly thank you so much Francisco for identifying this link! I wanted to also supply the English version of the link as another resource: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/uninstall-office-for-mac-eefa1199-5b58-43af-8a3d-b73dc1a8cae3
I wanted to let you know that this solution worked for me and I didn't even have to uninstall Sierra, just Office 365. I hope this solution works for you because I literally spent 8+hours trying to fix it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much again for your help!!
THIS IS THE METHOD TO FIX THIS MAJOR SCREW UP!
follow the instructions. then reinstall. word launched perfectly. let's see if it stays launched.
thank you!!!
