How do i save my word files so i can open them in windows?

Im doing some work on my MAC and saving it to my pendrive. Whats the best format to save them so i can open and edit them in windows?

Hi Chris,
Format the flash drive in FAT32, save the file as you would normally and transfer it to the flash drive, then the PC. It should work fine unless one of the Word apps is older.

  • Firefox will not open .aspx files. I can open them with IE. What's up?

    I updated Java, uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox. It will not open .aspx files. Internet explorer opens them just fine. .pdf files open fine also. Don't know?

    How would I change the aspx to pdf? As far as going to the menu/applications, I don't see an aspx in the list? Sorry, but I'm pretty rank in this department. Maybe it is the website and not Firefox, although as stated, IE opens them fine.

  • How to: Fast save as word file (while working in word file)

    I really don't like going in to the export menu all the time, but don't want to save my files as .pages (as I work in files of customers who only have Word or OpenOffice).
    How to do that?

    This thread comes closest to my question. I was hoping that iWork would be a good alternative to NeoOffice, which opens so slowly and constantly opens Safari, looking for another donation.
    As well as needing to export each and every time, if working in a Word document, and going through that tedious process, I'm miffed that it won't save to the document's original location! If the original document is in a subfolder of the user's Documents folder, it only offers to save to Documents, or that list which might include Desktop. So, we end up with different copies/versions of the document on the system.
    The app preferences are severely limited as compared to other applications. And, because we might have hit command + S, as we all have that automatic reflex, now we've got a document which also has the .pages extension. Which may also reside in a location different from the original document.
    And why doesn't there appear to be a way to see the open document's complete file name, with its extension, in the window's header. I've been searching through the app's limited preferences, and the menu bar choices, without finding an option to see the whole file name. It'd be nice to know whether the open document is the one which has the .pages extension or the one which has the .doc extension.

  • Any way to convert my MS Word files so I can view them in Lion?

    Upgraded to Lion, then found that I couldn't open any Word files.
    My Word app is a PowerPC app, which I migrated from my old Power Book G4.
    I'd just like to be able to view them in Rich Text Format.

    OS 10.9 Mavericks will let you download OpenOffice, but the OS won't let you run it. You get a message that says it won't open because it's not from a trusted source. It's not in the App Store.
    I found I could open old PPC MS Word '98 files on my 2006 Core Duo MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8. That OS has Rosetta which will run PPC apps, and even when running an Intel version of MS Word on that machine, the files would open. So you don't actually need to run the PPC app.

  • HOW DO I COMPRESS 2008 POWERPOINT FILES SO I CAN EMAIL THEM?

    Hi. I am new to Power Point. I spent all day making a presentation, but I was using scanned images and digital images, which I know now are very large. No one warned me to compress the files before I inserted them, so I didn't. Now, the file is too large to send via email. I have been looking for information online about how to compress the files and cant find any answers.
    The 2007 version seemed to have a "compress pictures" button on the tools menu. On the 2008 version, there is no tools menu and no compress pictures button. (There is one actually in the save as menu but it doesn't compress the file at all!)
    I am at a complete loss and very frustrated. I am terrible with computers. Can anyone please give me advice on what to do to solve this problem? I need it for an interview Thur!
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem, followed the link to the horrible M****soft forum, read the following:
    <<Embedded pictures are the common cause for large PowerPoint files. Office for Mac 2008’s PowerPoint has a built-in tool that can compress your embedded images and shrink your PowerPoint file:
    1. With PowerPoint open, click PowerPoint on the menu bar at the top of the screen and choose Preferences...
    2. Choose the Save tab
    3. At the bottom of the window, check the box for "Compress graphics files". This will automatically compress all graphics in your PPT files.>>
    ..followed the instructions and nothing happened. Tried to leave a scathing reply about nothing happening, was asked to sign up to MSN, stopped that process when I saw that I was giving the right to send me promotional emails... yuk!
    soo, did you find a solution to your compressing question?
    thanks

  • How do I save my iTunes library so I can open it again when I switch libraries?

    When I switch libraries itunes won't open the folder that contains all my music from my library. It will only open the previous saved versions. How do I create a new saved version with all the music from my library?

    Itunes always saves the library when it closes and will use that library when it next opens unless you change it.
    To switch libraries:
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose or create a library. Select  "Choose" and navigate to the location of your other library and choose iTunes library.itl.

    Mozilla image is placed on all of the ext. to all my files and programs ( even in the sub-folders ). Every time I try to open a program the internet comes up. This is happening on my user account,and I have to work on my guest user account to use my computer.I'm concerned that it might find it's way to my guest account.Anyone with an answer out there?
    I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and can't reuse the operation disk because it would remove ALL my files and programs from my computer. I thought it might be a virus, but I have Norton 360 and I've used it for as many years as I've had my computer. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If the Guest account works, then the simplest thing to do is to create a new Windows account.
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account
    On the new Windows account, you would start over with a fresh Firefox profile that doesn't contain any of your data like bookmarks and passwords. You can restore data by copying files from the other account's old profile while Firefox is closed.

    Have you used any "registry cleaner" type program recently? If so, refrain from doing that in the future.

  • Compressing files so everyone can open them

    I use a MacBook Pro and compress files (right click, compress) for upload to a site called Teachers pay Teachers. Users who download my files often complain that they can't unzip/un-compress and access and the files.  Some say they are password protected.  I also own Acrobat Pro XI.  I've beed told that files I created with my newer software can't be opened by users with older versions.  I need a foolproof method for compressing files so every person can download the contents.  Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Thank you for the reply.  I know I should be able to simply compress in zip format but I have had several bad reviews based solely on the fact that people can't unzip my files compressed and uploaded from my MacBook Pro.  I never had complaints from using my old PC.  I am just frustrated since I really strive for great feedback.  I even created a document to help people http://www.mrsrenz.net/HelpforPurchasers.pdf run their computers.  I believe it is operator error but I am questioning why I only have this trouble with my new software and Mac. 
    I only mentioned Acrobat Pro since it's also a new program and am trying to eliminate the cause. 
    Do you know if I can compress files from a Mac using another program that is foolproof rather than using right click, compress?  I am considering using DropBox and uploading all files from my PC (which is super frustrating).  I don't eaunderstand why users would say my files are password protected.  The company (Teachers pay Teachers) confirmed the issue is not on my end but I want all users to have no trouble using work they've purchsed from me.
    I really appreciate your help.

  • How do I save a excel file to be compatible...

    How do I save a excel file from a pc to be compatible with my Mac?

    Hi juicebars,
    iWork is a productivity suite for Macs running OS or iThings running iOS. With a MacBook Pro you will need the OS version.
    iWork consists of:
    Pages, a word processor and page layout app (page layout mimics a drawing app). Pages can import Microsoft Word documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Word, PDF, plain text, RTF or ePub.
    Numbers, a spreadsheet app that mimics a database. Numbers can import Microsoft Excel or CSV documents and you can edit and save them. Also Export as MS Excel, CSV or PDF.
    Keynote, a presentation app. Keynote can open Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't use Keynote, so I can say no more.
    You can buy the iWork suite from the App Store, or buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote separately.
    There are some minor conversion glitches when converting between MS Office and iWork. If you are continually converting, it is best to buy Office or LibreOffice for Mac.
    iWork does not take kindly to huge documents.
    However, I find that Numbers and Pages for Mac OS to have a sweetly intuitive way of doing what I want.
    Regards,
    Ian.
