Re: Office Apps won't open, give error msgs, then freeze

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Did this start immediately after an Office update?

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or
if it¹s your User¹s folder that contains the problem.

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Test Office there.

When I try to open an Office app, I get the following error msgs:
"You are working without a Word work file and memory is nearly full. Save your
work." I click "OK" and I get a window saying "Word cannot open this document
template. (Document Elements.dotx)" I click OK and Word freezes; I have to
Force Quit the app.

This occurs in all Office apps. There is no memory problem I can identify. I
have plenty of RAM and plenty of free hard drive space. I have re-installed
Office twice after uninstalling all traces of Office, including identities
folder. I start with a fresh 12.0 install; I can update this but after an
update I continue to have the problem.

I am using 10.4.11 on a 2006 Intel iMac w/ 2GB RAM. Any suggestions are
welcome.
