Hi,

A few days ago I installed Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac having before used Office 2011. All seemed to go well with the installation until the next day when I next booted up my iMac. None of the office documents that I had previously opened and put on the bottom bar had re-opened even though I had ticked the box on shut down for all windows to reopen. Both the Word and Excel Apps were still open. Also opening Office documents was much slower than before.

I have consulted both Apple and Microsoft but nothing they tried seems to make any difference. I was wondering whether anyone else has had this problem and found an answer? I would be most grateful to know.

Thanks

I just re-installed 2016 on a new install of High Sierra, and (after-all-that/login/etc.), Word -> Recent shows all the Documents I have in OneDrive.

I don't have a 'bottom bar' . . .

. . . if you re-boot your Mac (as-opposed to letting 'Sleep'), all your soft-ware should be closed, and be as if you had never opened it, prior.
