Q: Word for Mac 2011 Opening all Docs/Crashing
Hello,
Today, after a restart of my MacBook Pro (Late 2013, Running Yosemite 10.10.1), Microsoft Word opens ALL recent documents to the point where it causes the program itself to error out and crash (though it does send a report to Microsoft).
I have tried several things (all found on Google, including moving com.microsoft.office.plist to the desktop). However, the issue still occurs.
Any help/suggestions/fixes for this?
I am at a complete loss, and I have much work to do.
Thanks,
Heather
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Deleting com.microsoft.office.plist won't do it.
Follow these steps

Before you do that two things:
(1) be sure you have a good backup
(2) be sure you have your hands on your original Office 2011 install case and DVD.
Then Reinstall from DVD
Enter your product #
Then upgrade. It will take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version. 14.4.7
