  1. MS Office & unable to save documents without signing into MS - Ugh!


    Recently after another monthly RIDICULOUS MS update I am unable to save documents to my personal PC without having to sign into my MS account! This is awful - I am not at all happy - I do not want to put anything out on the CLOUD!!!! I want it on my PC ONLY! Either tell me how to remove it or I am tossing this HP laptop and getting an APPLE! I paid for my MS Office products and I do like them but I DO NOT want MS to control my computer!!!!

    :)

    Can't save MS Office 2013 documents after Win10 upgrade from Win8.1


    PROBLEM:
    MS Office 2013 can't save files anywhere except in OneDrive (which I don't want to use).

    BACKGROUND:
    • Win10 upgrade on Alienware 17 R2 (2015 model) from 8.1 went well - no errors.
    • After using for a few days (normal shutdown / startups), used MS Word to create a document.

    1. Created my document
    2. Went to file save dialogue, typed in filename e.g. "status update.docx".
    3. Almost immediately, the MS Word file save dialogue popped back up with the same filename, but now appended with a "1" e.g. "statusupdate1.docx" and received an error message (1st clue things aren't right)
    4. Hit 'Save' and everything looks okay except the document name shown at the top of MS Word is "Document1" (2nd clue things aren't right)
    5. Choose 'File, Close' and dialogue "Want to save your changes to Document1?" pops up (3rd clue)
    6. Choose 'Save' and "statusupdate1.docx" appears as the filename -- no matter how many times I hit 'Save' the 'Save as' dialogue keeps coming back with the "statusupdate1.docx" filename
    7. I'm forced to choose 'Don't Save' in the dialogue to exit MS Word
    8. I CAN'T save in docx, docm, or doc in any location EXCEPT OneDrive
    9. I CAN save rtf versions everywhere

    ACTIONS TAKEN:

    1. Checked the web for fixes but didn't find any that worked
    2. Ran sfc /scannow
    3. Ran dism /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    4. Chose to completely remove MS Office 2013 and reinstall (used Microsoft's MSO total removal tool which removes all registry entries in addition to removing the files)
    5. After re-installation, experienced the same problem with MS Excel files (new problem after remove/install cycle)
    6. Checked out Microsoft's Known Issues with Office and Windows 10, but no joy - "Known issues with Office and Windows 10
    7. Now every time I use Word, it also tries to save normal.docx which it can't save, and which takes multiple steps to finally abandon saving. Since word is used by Outlook, it also means that I have the normal.docx style sheet issue when composing mail or opening attachments.
    8. UPDATE: Installed Office 2016 in trial mode. No change. Exactly the same problem with Office 2016 as Office 2013.

    Any help appreciated.

    UPDATE: SOLVED

    Trusteer product from IBM was the problem. Once removed, all applications work and save normally.

    MS Office 2016 word documents when saved look differently


    I recently noticed that when I am saving a MS Word document the icon has changed. I am running windows 10 and MS Office Professional 2016. This only started happening within the past week. i tried doing a quick repair of MS Office and that did not solve the problem so I went back to the control panel and selected to do the online repair. However that has not fixed the problem. I have run malware and spyware scans and well as a full anti-virus scan and everything comes back clean and it is only happening with the MS Word documents - excel is fine and so is everything else. If I open a document that is a little older and then close it, it still looks the same as it always has, but any newly created documents look different now and other than Windows updates there have been no other changes to my computer.

    The documents are saving properly and there is no issue with opening them, but they no longer show that W icon for the document

    How to I resolve this issue if doing an online repair which uninstalls the program and then I need to reinstall it does not resolve the issue.


    The image on the left is the way they have always looked and all of a sudden any documents I save are looking like the one on the right
