#LOKING UP DOCUMENT INFO FOR MAC FOR MAC#

Operating system is Lion if that's relevant, and the documents are on a work MS Exchange Server the Mac is connected to.ĮDIT: judging by comments, it sounds like this is a Lion thing not an Office thing. Is this possible? Is it possible to force MS Word 2011 and/or Excel 2011 (or all Office apps) to keep focus on the opened document when booting up after a document has been opened, without disabling Resume Previous Windows completely? If possible, however, I'd prefer to keep Resume Previous Windows on, but make sure that once the MS Office application has opened, the document I actually opened is the one that has focus, not some random* document I had open yesterday. I've found this earlier question, with some suggestions for turning Resume Previous Windows off at the OS level, or with an app-specific Apple script.

This always takes me by surprise because it's so different to usual application behaviour that I'm used to.īecause it's usually someone else's document I'm working from (and because it's usually first thing in the morning, and I'm really not a morning person.), I usually end up spending minutes in mild confusion looking for the content I need to work from in the wrong document, wondering why the document I just opened looks so different to how I was expecting it to look, before realising this isn't actually the document I just opened and/or remembering that Office for Mac does this. The document I asked for is now buried somewhere under whatever I was working on when I last closed Word or Excel. then, documents from my previous session open on top of the document I chose to open. The document and the application opens.So, I find the document on the shared server, and open it. I need to work from a Word or Excel (for Mac, Office 2011) document.Here's an irritation that annoys me almost every working day:
