Q: Apps not appearing on launchpad

Hi,

 

I'm running the latest El-Capitan and when I upgraded my microsoft office to the latest 2016 version the word, powerpoint and outlook app does not appear in the launchpad. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but doesn't seems to work. I've also tried to reset the launchpad and nothing changed. Only excel and oneNote app are present in the launchpad.

 

thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    One possibility -- if the first screen of Launchpad is full (7 wide by 5 deep, at least on my screen) apps that won't fit there will be on a subsequent screen which you can access by sliding the first screen to the left. See the following for more details: Mac Basics: Launchpad is the fast way to find and open your apps - Apple Support

     

    Another possibility -- when you installed Office 2016 for Mac you may have installed it in a location other than the Applications folder. Launchpad won't include it if it isn't in the Application folder. You can view the Application folder in Finder by opening Finder and in the Finder Go menu click Applications.

    A third possibility -- maybe you mean that Word, Powerpoint, etc are not displaying in the Dock rather than in Launchpad? If that is the case, you can add them to the Dock by opening Finder, use the Finder Go menu to open the Application folder, find Microsoft Word there and then drag it to the Dock.

    first possibility - i only have two screens in the launchpad. where the second screen is not full.

     

    second possibility - all microsoft products are installed in the application folder as i install the whole package together and all of them are in the application folder but only excel and oneNote are in the launchpad.

     

    third possibility - i really mean launchpad where we have icons of the application arranged in grids like how apps are arrange in an iphone screen
