How do I open a microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

How can I open a Microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

The document format is too old. Download the free LibreOffice, and then open this Word '95 document with it. Then export to a different filename.doc, or filename.docx, and then open in Pages.

  • How can I open old Microsoft Word Documents in Pages 9?

    My new version of Pages '09 (Ver 4.1) is rejecting older versins of Word documents as unrecognized formats.  Is there a means by which I can convince Pages to open these?

    Peter,
    LibreOffice was an excellent suggestion.  It solved my problem and introduced me to what I know will be a valuable utility.
    Thanks.

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

  • So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • How can i view a downloaded word document in pages?

    how can i view a downloaded word document in pages?   i tried to download a file, which worked, but i can't view it since i don't have word office

    Not sure what you are saying but Pages just opens Word documents, drag the Word document onto Pages' icon.
    Or open the Word document from the Open dialog.
    If you are talking about testing a Word document after you have exported it from Pages then you will need of course to have Word to open it but there are free clones of Word as well such as LibreOffice, Openoffice and Neoffice that will do that as well.

  • How do I open my old Word documents with Lion

    I installed Lion and now I can't open my old Word documents.  Any idea how I can do this?

    You'll want to get a newer version of Word or Pages so you can open them properly.  It's possible to open them with TextEdit, but the formatting is not going to work out very well.
    You can download the latest Pages using the App Store icon on the doc (It looks like an A in a blue circle).
    You can download the latest Word by purchasing it from microsoft.com/mac
    You might get a better deal buying Microsoft Office 2011 from a retail store, but it's nice to get the software immediately if you need it right away.
    Lastly, you could also get OpenOffice by going to openoffice.org  however it all depends on how much you use Word and whether that program will do what you need Word for.  The plus side, is that OpenOffice is free, but the downside is that both Pages and Word provide a more user-friendly environment (in my opinion) and are worth the cost.

  • How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

    After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope .  Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

    Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Yes, Lion does require that  you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
    And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion >  http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
    Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).
    If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs >  Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

    Hi All,
    I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    WJ

    Hello,
    You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
    Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.

  • Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
    I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

  • How can i open a MS Word document

    with Mac users being only 5-10% of the computer world, I would feel that I would be able to open and or send a word document, but I had a doc emailed to me and nothing I do will open it.........i'm sure there must be a way, right?

    Use TextEdit, LibreOffice, Pages, Google Docs, Microsoft Office 2008 or newer, or similar software.

  • How do I convert a microsoft word document to a pdf?

    I need help to submit an assignment for school but I can't figure out how to convert word to a pdf.  My old computer was easy.  All I had to do was right click and convert, not with this computer. Can anyone shed some light? Thank you

    Hey cherelle,
    You might need to open the word document and choose 'PDFMaker' from the menubar or 'Adobe PDF' printer option from the Files menu for the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I transfer from Microsoft word document to my Ipad?

    How do I transfer a document in Microsoft Word on my computer to my Ipad?

    You need an app on the iPad that is capable of reading/recognising Word documents. If you've got an app then one options is to do it via the bottom of the iPad's apps tab on your computer's iTunes (apps that allow file sharing, i.e. saving/copying content, are listed there), and a second option, if the app has the facility, is via wifi.

  • How do I Launch a Microsoft WORD Document using AciveX from testStand

    Hello All:
    I would like to launch a Word document from within Teststand. I would also like to have the ability to search the document for particular sections of the document. I can not find any sequence file examples that even comes close to demonstrating any of this.
    Thanks...

    Hello Craig,
    I have attached an example that will demonstrate this for you. You may need to change the Word Server to match the version of Word that you have installed. This can be done by right clicking on each ActiveX step and select Specify Module. Under Automation Server, scroll down the list to Microsoft Word... and select it.
    This is primarily an example to demostrate calling Microsoft Word from TestStand. If you require additional functionality from the Microsoft Word ActiveX server then you should refer to the API reference help for Microsoft Word.
    Hope this helps!
