Mac – Bash – Office 2019 Apps Will Not Open

email me

Problem:

  • Show Document Gallery when opening Word is selected


Solution:

  • Open terminal
  • Type: defaults write com.microsoft.office ShowDocStageOnLaunch FALSE
  • Open Office App

 

This works by changing the Show Document Gallery when opening Word from selected, to not selected. The command could also be added to your scripts in packaging, which would look something like this:

#!/bin/bash
sudo installer -pkg "serializer.pkg" -target / -verbose >> log.txt
sudo installer -pkg "office.pkg" -target / -verbose >> log.txt
defaults write com.microsoft.office ShowDocStageOnLaunch FALSE
