Ipad wont open word docs

My ipad won't open any attachments such as word docs or jpegs. I have reset ipad, have re reset email account, talked with apple care, that was no help. Any ideas? All other functions of email work fine.

I have the same problem - only it is intermittent. Today both my mobleme and gmail accounts on my iPad received emails with a .doc attachment and showed it as a mime file with 0 bites. My iMac received the .doc account. But, at other times, I've not had this problem. The inconsistency is going to drive me to pound the iPad to bits with a hammer because I bought it to substitute for a laptop when traveling for work, so if I can't rely on it to receive emails, it is worthless to me.
I've read through 20 pages of discussions and so far, this is the first reference to the issue I'm having.

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • Ipad wont open attachments after update

    After update my ipad wont open attachments ie word and excel.  It did prior to the update.  Is there a setting I am missing or have to adjust.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

    Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
    Help!

    I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.

  • Open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages does not open. I had the new one installed but apparently had the old one still up. How can I open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Opening word docs in pages

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an 8 year old imac to a brand new one, and have decided to use pages, instead of Office for mac which I used previously on the old mac, but I am have great difficulty in opening word docs in pages.
    I have selected a .doc, gone to get info,then open with, pages( default ), then change all, then try to open a word doc, which results in, unable to open.
    I must be doing something wrong, hence I would be grateful for any assistance.
    Many Thanks

    You need to uninstall the iWork trial. Read second post  on this link http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=105&highlight=reinst all&mforum=iworktipsntrick

  • Can't open word docs in pages 08

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • Strange problem when opening word doc situated in WLS virtual dir

    Hi all,
    we have a strange problem when opening word doc
    situated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\webutil
    we put some word docs there and tried to open from forms using for example web.show_document('http://wp0606:9001/forms/webutil/mug00103.doc', '_blank');
    no problem using FF, however in IE8 the word doc is shown in its binary format, this also happens when we try to open the doc in IE8
    however when we google and search for instance for a test.doc and then click on this url a file save dialog is shown
    that's why we believe that this might be due to a configuration issue of WLS
    any help would be greatly appreciated

    I think you have 2 ways to go here. Figure out what html is from wherever weblogic gets it, meaning you have to delve into the docs, snoop
    around in directories and find what it must be sending (This is going to be unavoidable if you are going to change what weblogic is doing.
    Sooner or later you have to try to figure out where it gets this stuff from)
    or
    you can experimentally snoop on your url with a tool like wget or curl. These are fundamental web tools.
    The latter is always a useful thing to be able to do. (you need to formulate a query to get the content-type).
    Whoever managed to get weblogic to serve any files in the first place probably can figure this out.

  • Open office won't open word docs automatically

  • Why can I no longer open WORD Docs.?

    I can no longer open WORD Docs on my computer for the following reason.  Anybondy know what I can do about this?  Thank you.
    "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

    Upgrade to a new version, Rosetta was dropped two years ago with the introduction of 10.7 Lion.
    You could use OpenOffice too.

  • Can't open Word .doc in Pages

    I have Pages 5.1 and it won't open MS Word document (97-2004). I created the .doc documents in Appleworks. When Appleworks was replaced by Pages, my wife was left with a lot of .ckw files that could be accessed. I pulled out an old MBP and went back to TimeMachine backup and restored Appleworks, opened the .ckw files and saved them as Word documents with the goal of getting them into Pages. No luck so far. Originally Pages opened Word documents and you could save a document as as Word. Has something changed?

    I'll also add that this "learning experience" has solved another issue that my wife had..."missing files". My wife has been complaining recently that her Pages files are disappearing. I would just shake my head and say that she was crazy. Now, I understand. Pages is now "beta" testing the iCloud storage of Pages documents. So, when she would save her Pages documents and quit Pages, her natural assupmption was that they were saved to her Documents Folder but they were actually saved to iCloud. Her normal routine is to go to Finder and go to Documents and look for a document she had created, and it wouldn't be there. Pages expects you to go to "Recent Documents" look either in iCloud or On My Mac.
    I just played with it (I have Pages on my MBA and iPad and iPhone) and while I think Apple is on the right track with iCloud storage, I don't like the difficult process of "Moving" a document in order to get it to my Mac. I think it should be a simple choice of choosing where you want to save your document - iCloud or my Mac or a drive connected to my Mac.
