I set my wife up with a separate login on our laptop and I noticed that even with full permissions she cannot access any MS Office applications. The program asks to install itself into the HD every time she opens the application, so she'll install it, the application will close, and then we go through the same problem all over again. Any way we can resolve this issue without her needing to login to my account just Word? Thanks
HD/Applications folder is available to all User accounts using the machine.
Move Office to that folder and any User account can access the apps.
Thanks for the help Kirk!
Unfortunately, the Word application is already in the HD/Applications folder and she still can't open it. Could it be that Office is registered to individual users and not just the machine?
The answer to your question is no. As long as the software is on the computer, it should be useable.
Try signing into the Guest account and see if you have the same problem. You also might try a Safe Mode restart and see if the problem is still present.
The first option may identify it as an account problem and the second option may identify it as 3rd party software.
Why can't I open Word from different apple login?
