When I start up my mac, my word, excel and powerpoint applications open as well

Job done, indeed. Thank you!

thx!

Thank you @Dave Rochester.

Works for me.

Thanks Mark, you solved an real buggy issue that neither Apple nor Microsoft could. They kept pointing fingers at each other, however, Apple did say the support group might have an answer. 🙂

Thank you sooooooo much finaly all I did when I restart my computer I uncheck the box and Voila just like a magic 🙂

Thanks, It's no problem but It really starts to get annoying. Such obvious fix but I can't tell my left from right :/

This doesn't work at all!!! It caused all of my Microsoft Office programs to stop working. 😟 Trying to get Apple Support to help me now. Sigh...

Worked for me. Thank you!
