Microsoft Office 10 (limited edition of only Word and Excel, stripped down) came with my Toshiba Satellite laptop. After some automatic Windows Updates that happened last night, I find that I cannot open my Word or Excel, and all my documents and spreadsheets are inaccessible. The programs were on some sort of virtual drive called 'Q: ', already installed when I bought the laptop computer. The computer will not let me access it nor open documents and spreadsheets that were created with those programs. Can anyone help? Youtube word for mac footer different for each page.

The business world requires stuff to adhere to strict specifications, this includes how documents look. Universities, well at least science/engineering ones essentially 'require' you to use MS Office because it is the standard, when you start collaborating with other researchers with data and multi meg to hundreds of meg documents, the files need to be exactly the same. You can't go messing with the data and making new graphs/charts/whatever in LibreOffice and then saving it as.xlsx and have it work when someone has real MS Office. Malwarebytes for mac for mac.

Outlook 2016 headers missing. Sure it works great for some simple things, but the research and often times the business world isn't simple. If you just need 'Office'-type apps to do some home stuff, or exchange whatever with friends and family, then sure, a free alternative is fantastic. But, the reality is, without MS Office itself, you aren't going to fit in with the rest of the world.

While I acknowledge that the answers given on this forum are good they often fail to deliver. Re-read the original post. ' Can anyone help? I am essentially out of business.' The need was for an immediate solution. Fiddling with Windows runs a small risk of screwing up the computer completely which would be a catastrophe for Danielle and as time is of the essence the sensible option is for her to get up and running as soon as possible. Hence my suggestion.

I use Microsoft Office 2003 and have never tried the alternative free programs. Reviews do indicate that some of the alternatives give Microsoft a run for their money. Please, I'm not trying to turn this thread into an open ended discussions by framing the question 'which freeware office program is best to replace Microsoft Office?' Unfortunately the next post will probably do exactly that. Microsoft give little away so maybe an upgrade to the full Office package is called for if you are in business and want the best.

The spreadsheet component of OpenOffice.org is called Calc. It can save worksheets as.pdf files and Excel 2003 compatible formats; and it can open the newer.xlsx format files. As to whether this alternative will do the job for you, you can find out yourself by trying, and you have nothing to lose, since it's free.
