Please my Microsoft office is not working, I've Installed it and it's showing in the list of the installed programs but can't find it anywhere to launch it even when i search and if i try to open any PowerPoint or word document, it will give error that "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". Please what can i do?

I'm willing to help you, you can follow this simple guide to be sure if you have permission to the software (Microsoft Office) and other related methods to fix. Goto MS official website...

Thanks bros but I've tried the steps suggested in the link but to no avail. The problem is that i can't even find the application anywhere, not even the shortcuts. The only place i can locate it is in the list of the installed programs and it's not even executable there ,can only uninstall.

Where did you get the installer you used? Was it from a CD?

It seems as tho you just copied an already installed program. It doesn't work that way in most cases.
you should get an MS office CD OR download the installer online
then install MS office properly

1. Do you encounter this with other installed software
2. Locate the installation location of Microsoft office and take ownership of the folder using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-15585.html

Nope, it's only with MS office.

Thanks, I'll try your suggestion.
