Q: MerpAD Office365

New to Apple Support Communities:There is an empty file in my trash at startup called MerpAD Office365. To my knowledge, I do not use Office 365. What is it, where can I find it, and can I trash it? I have had numerous problems with Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and do not want anything more of this product than I absolutely need on my computer.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

    Xferno and Mark:

     

    I started this Discussion, but I have since uninstalled Microsoft Office (for other reasons). For now,  I am using Pages and Numbers from the Apple Store.

     

    However, what you have suggested makes sense from what I was trying-- in frustration. I may switch back to Microsoft at some point and, if I do, I will try your suggestion.

     

    Misery loves company and I seem to have a lot of company with this challenging annoyance.

    Thank you for this info; I'm going to try it.   I have a new Mac that had a corruption in a Calendar file that I fixed with Support yesterday.  Afterwards I deleted several files from Downloads and then emptied my Trash; this morning I had the MerpaD O365 in my Trash as a Recovered File.  I do have Office:mac 2011 on my Mac.

    I read somewhere that this is a possible solution to this annoying problem that I just started having again, after not having it for a while.

     

    1. Open application Office error reporting, the application is located in this folder

          /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MERP2.0

    2. Go in preferences

    3. Uncheck enable office error reporting

     

    Hope that works for you. Use at your own discretion of course.

    I also have this issue, using Mavericks, but do not see the MERP file at that path

    waite, nevermind. Got it. That said, any ideas on what would contribute to the documents gallery templates loading up VERY slowly? They do load, eventually, but seem to take forever.
