Thankfully, it’s possible to configure Office for Mac to launch directly with a new blank document instead of the Document Gallery. So let’s walk through how to start with a blank document in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Mac! How to use windows media player. Differences Between Office for Mac Applications First, let’s talk about a few minor differences between the three main Office for Mac applications. When I referenced “Document Gallery” above, that technically only refers to what it’s called in Word.

Configure Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to Open with a New Document The Document Gallery may be helpful for some, but as I said, not so much for me.

So to get rid of it and start with a new document by default, open Word (or Excel or PowerPoint), and then choose [Program Name] > Preferences from the menu bar at the top of the screen. When the Preferences window opens, click General. For Microsoft Word, find the option labeled Show Word Document Gallery when opening Word and uncheck it: For Excel and PowerPoint, follow the same steps, except remember that this window has a different name in each application as referenced above. Once you’ve unchecked the corresponding box in your Office for Mac applications, you can test it out by quitting and then relaunching them. This time, each app should open directly to a new blank document instead of the Document Gallery or equivalent. How to Access the Document Gallery Again OK, so you’ve prevented the Document Gallery from showing up when you launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. But what if you actually want to see this screen again once you’ve made this change?
