Microsoft office - home and student for Mac?!?!?!

Hi,

If anybody can help me that would be a great big huge help!

Basically i have just got my first Apple MacBook and i have the Pro version, so when i bought it i found out that it doesn't already have an office or word type of product in it, so i decided to buy microsoft office home and student for mac, which i was told would be fine on my macbook.

when i installed it yesterday i decided to start working on a word document and tried to save it onto my usual memory stick that i generally use all the time. Upon saving it and trying to reopen it, it wouldnt let me do this...came up with this ...

Hi,

I was looking for help with this same problem on my Wifes MBP but with Excel, while I was looking for solutions, I tried installing Messenger again, fixing disk permissions with disk utility, as well as other things, none worked. Then I was looking for where this nasty mbukernel file lived.

That was when I noticed that "Microsoft Excel.app" was in the /Applications folder instead of the "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011", so I moved the Microsoft Excel.app back into the office folder and wallah it all works as intended.

Hopefully that will help yourself and others with this obscure problem.


Cheers

Thank you, thank you! This was my issue as well, except with Excel. I realized this was the issue when comparing the other system information/application information, but I wasn't sure how to correct it. Your post, along with a quick Google search showed me how to move the file to the correct location and all was well! Thanks again, as Deeceecee stated, you helped more than one person with this post.
