I'm having trouble opening a word document on my new Macbook Pro. I opened it with no problems on my iPhone5. I tried using TextEdit and OpenOffice. Thanks!

I open Word documents on my Mac using Pages and textedit without any problems.
I also have a copy of OpenOffice and it can also open Word documents without any problems.
Could you please provide more details on exactly what you mean when you say you having troubles opening Word documents? What kind of troubles?

  • Pages 1.0.3 does not open or create document on my new MacBook Pro

    I migrated all programs and data with the migration assistant from an Power Mac G5 to an MacBook Pro Intel 2.66 i7. Now I can't read or create new documents with Pages 1.0.3. I repaired all permissions, tried to run pages in an other account but it still doesn't work. Does Pages 1.0.3 not work with Snow Leopard??? Do I have to buy a newer version of Pages or is there a work around???

    If the G5 is always running, it may be a good idea to continue to use your documents on it.
    We are several thinking that a new iWork would be delivered soon.

  • Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page.

    Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page.  I realize that other people have the same problem.  However no answer has been found to stop this problem.  I wonder if there is a
    way.  Hope someone is able to tell me and the others.

    Hi,
    By the installation wizard, do you mean the First Run screen? If yes, please follow the steps below to disable it:
    STEP ONE: If you have not already, download the Office 2013 Administrative Template files. These can be downloaded from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
    STEP TWO: Copy the ADMX files to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions and the ADML files to the language specific folder (such as en-us) under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
    STEP THREE: Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run |
    STEP FOUR: Set the Disable First Run Movie to Enabled and the Disable Office First Run on application boot to Enabled
    Please check the result then.

  • I am having trouble sending an email from mail on my macbook pro. It keeps requesting my password. What should I do?

    I am having trouble sending an email from mail on my macbook pro. It keeps requesting my password. What should I do?

    There seems to be a few bugs with iCloud Mail at times, so send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Word processing application on new Macbook Pro?

    Most PC's come with some sort of word processing application, like Word, already installed, does a Macbook Pro have one, is so, I can't find it. If not, why not, it has everything else.

    It doesn't come pre-installed usually. Check out the iWork suite which has Pages (documents) Numbers (spreadsheets) and Keynote (presentations) software in it - see here for more: http://www.apple.com/iwork/
    30-day free trial - http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/
    PC's don't come with Microsoft Office installed you have to buy it.
    Here's some free options if you don't want to buy iWork

  • Aperture 3.1.3 crashes on opening. Running Lion on brand new MacBook Pro

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, i7 Core, running Lion) and am using 3.1.3 Aperture. I have same issue as some others have mentioned elsewhere in the forum - Aperture is no longer opening, all I get is an error message. A few days ago, Aperture opened just fine (I was running Lion with the 3.1.3 version of Aperture then too), but now for whatever reason it is not. I've tried removing the preferences list (com.apple.Aperture.plst), rebooting, reinstalling the update (3.1.3), and still nothing. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Guess I should've done a little more research before I posted this but, found this, which did the trick:
    For those with the same problem:
    1. Navigate to: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
    2. Delete the PluginManager
    3. Get a new copy of the PluginManager. (You can copy one from a friends macbook) or use the one hosted here: http://qvenon.com/files/PluginManager.zip

  • I can't open old Word documents or save new ones. Help!

    I'm not tech savvy at all and I really need Word for school. Please help if you can.
    Whenever I'm trying to open an old file I get:
    "File is locked for editing.
    Locked by: another user
    Filename: "insert name"
    You can open file in read only"
    When I click "read only" I get:
    "Word cannot open document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the filename might contain invalid characters."
    When I try to save a new file I get:
    "Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permission error on the destination volume."

  • Word documents Shutting Down on MacBook Pro

    Recently Word documents on my MacBook Pro have been shutting down when I copy/paste, use CTR-F, or reformat (but only on certain documents and only some of the time). Also, sometimes when I reformat one line of text, the whole document reformats or shuts down.
    These problems began after installing OSX 10.7.5.
    I have tried re-installing Word, but that did not help. I took the computer to the store that updated the software but they said nothing was wrong.  
    Any advice?

    Yes.  Word is a Microsoft product, not Apple's.  

  • Why can't I open a Numbers document saved to my MacBook Pro desktop?

    I was trying to open an existing Numbers document saved to my desktop. It took me to the App Store, but I didn't have access to a Wireless network. If it needed an update, why does it require the update to open an existing/previously saved document?  Very frustrating and completely embarrassed in front of my audience!!!

    Hi Will_M123,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you want to get all of your Apple devices on the same iCloud account. Are you receiving some kind of alert when you try to sign out of the iCloud account on the MacBook Pro? Please use the following information as a reference for signing out of iCloud.

  • How do I turn off word prediction on my new macbook pro?

    Need to turn off the word prediction on my macbook pro... it's a new 15" newest software etc... forums and email are a problem with this feature...

    System Preferences, Language & Text, Text - uncheck "Correct Spelling Automatically". Most applications also have a setting for this under Edit > Spelling and Grammar.
    In various applications you can also adjust the preferences for text substitution via Edit > Substitutions.
