Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages? 
(Instead of me going to the trouble of finding out where they are actually located on the hard drive so that I can open pages and say - here, open this file--even though you didn't create it--)

Click on a .doc file and type Cmnd I to open Get Info. In the Open with: menu select Pages, then click on Change All…

  • Is there any way to specify the default version of LabVIEW?

    I have a sinking feeling that the answer to this question is "no."  With more than one version installed, is there any way to set the default LabVIEW version for opening a VI? I have both 7.1 and 8 installed, and usually only use 8 to open an example or look at something posted here.  When I do that, it resets all the OS hooks so that the default action for opening a VI is to open it in version 8.  I've even gone so far as to create actions to open files in 7.1 and 8, but it always resets my default action.
    I found this KB article for when version 7 came out, but it's suggestions don't seem to work with 7 and 8.
    Ugh. I hate it when software thinks it knows what I want better than I do.

    Add
    in the LabVIEW.ini file of those versions you do not want to rewrite
    the registry on startup to point to themselves for VI files, the
    following:
    RegisterExtensions=False
    Of course the VersionChooser utility mentioned earlier is even more convinient.

  • Is there a way to set the default level of keyframe easing?

    I'm currently using the graph editor to smooth my ease-in / ease-out keyframes with 100% influence.  I'm having to adjust the easing of each keyframe individually. 
    Is there a way to set the default level to 100%, so that I can just select "Easy Ease In" and have it apply without having to go into the graph editor?  It would save a lot of time.

    No, there's not a way to do that, but it's a good feature request. You can submit feature requests here:

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
    (OSX 10.10)

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?

    Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
    I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
    Thanks!

    Hi John,
    Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
    Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

  • Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

    We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
    Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
    When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

    Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

  • Is there any way to change the default AWR thresholds?

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any way to change the default thresholds or attributes of AWR reports for a database?
    I have a requirement to change threshold for the SQL statements reported based on sharable memory.
    *"SQL ordered by Sharable Memory"*
    By defaults it reports statements only above 1Mb (I think it is in Bytes). So I can find only one statement being reported in this category or some times even nil.
    *"Only Statements with Sharable Memory greater than 1048576 are displayed"*
    It would be great help for me if you guys can help me out as we have issues related to memory often.
    Thanks and regards

  • Is there any way to enlarge the font for the panels in Bridge?

    Is there any way to enlarge the font for the panels in Bridge? Either CC or CS6?

    To change the default message font, use UIManager:   UIManager.put("OptionPane.messageFont",
          new Font("Lucida Console", Font.PLAIN, 12)); Per-instance, use HTML:   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
          "<html><font face='Lucida Console'>Your message here</font></html>");

  • Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

    I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

    Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
    The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
    The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
    Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
    Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
    If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

  • Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to set the ACLs on a folder so that users cannot copy a file?
    I have a customer that wants to put an employee handbook into a FORMS FOLDER. But he doesn't want users to be able to copy the file into other folders or onto removable media.
    Admittedly, I have never run into this before and my testing hasn't yielded an answer...
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks again,
