Office For Mac 2011 Is Super Slow

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion shortly after it came out, Office for Mac 2011 has become a real pain to use. I can use Excel or Word once without a problem, however, after that opening another Office document takes about ten minutes or will not open at all. Closing and reopening Office does not fix it either. I must completely restart my iMac. I have been thru all the Forum threads I can find and implemented them.

I have Mac OS X Lion. The Microsoft Office on my profile is extremely slow. I deleted Office and reinstalled it but the performance didn't improve.

My late 2011 MacBook Pro is running extremely slow! Have deleted the useless apps, don’t have mackeeper, and tried repairing using disk utility thinking something might have been up with that, but I followed your recommendations to another using about checking out the CPU in activity monitor and while user is at 1-2%, idle is at around 24%.

These include deleting problem fonts from the Font Book and reinstalling Office. I still have the problem.

All updates are current. If anyone has other ideas how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate comments. I discovered I had bookmarked the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #2398768, the same one you referenced above.

Since I bookmarked it I am pretty sure I used the process. Among my numerous efforts to fix my Office problems I definitely ran 'Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg' which I downloaded and still have.

It was supposed to remove all elements of the Office install but had the usual caveat that there was no guarantee. It is remotely possible I discovered the Knowledge Base Article later and just bookmarked it for future reference. Word 2016 for mac os x file open default directory in word.

I believe the whole process took almost two hours on my last effort. This was largely due to the reinstall recommendation of rebooting after installing every Office update. I don't know, I guess I will try the Knowledge Base article process on the small chance that I did not do it already. I need to do something because based on how I use Office the current slow load/no load problem is a real issue for me. I just removed Office per your procedure and reinstalled. Knock wood, my quick test seems to indicate this may finally be fixed.
