Office applications not working with Mission Control

Problem

When you open an Office application (such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) on your Mac, you are unable to move it from one desktop to another using Mission Control. You may also not be able to see the application running.

Solution

2. Go to your User Library folder.
3. Open the Preferences folder.
4. Delete the preference file which contains the name of the application with the problem:
   • com.microsoft.Word.plist
   • com.microsoft.Excel.plist
   • com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
   • com.microsoft.Outlook.plist
