Update Office to 2008 or 2011 or else use Pages, TextEdit or download one of a multitude of free programs such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
Good Luck

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X?  When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

    The short answer is:
    Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
    If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.

  • HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

    Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

    Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
    I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

  • How do I open Word documents with docx extensions when I have Word 2004

    How can I open Word docs with a docx extension when i have Word 2004?  I tried Open XML format files but can't get it to open.  Can I save the file in the old Word extension?

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office or your question in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

  • I can't open word documents from Finder

    I can't open word documents from Finder

    If you mean "I can't double click a *doc file and make word open" then you highlight the file and do a command-I (or get info).  When the window comes up, change the "open with" parameter.  You can also right click and select "other"

  • HT4918 How can I open video documents that are Microsoft applications?

    With Lion now installed, I can no longer open many video documents that I formerly opened with Windows Media Player.  What can I do?

    It does involve ICloud since I could utilize my 2004 Office software with Snow Leopard.  Since Pages will open word documents and save in word format, I thought is would not miss Office.  But, Quick Time Player will not open the video documents sent to me on a PC.  Does this mean I must purchase a new Office just to be able to open these documents?

  • How can I open a Document in a JEditorPane?

    In a JEditorPane-Compontent was a HTML-File displayed. I wrote this code to save the JEditorPane:
    FileOutputStream fstrm = new FileOutputStream(f);
    ObjectOutput ostrm = new ObjectOutputStream(fstrm);
    ostrm.writeObject(jEditorPane1.getDocument());
    ostrm.flush();
    How can I open the saved file now and display it in jEdtorPane1?

    Hello,
    try this:
    FileInputStream fstrm = new FileInputStream(f);
    ObjectInput istrm = new ObjectInputStream(fstrm);
    jEditorPane1.setDocument((Document)istrm.readObject());

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

  • Can't open Word documents from Macmail

    I use MS Office since I am in publishing and have never had this problem before. But about 50% of the time, I can't open .docx documents that are sent to me by email. Again, this is only some .docx documents. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
    Also, it gives me an error message saying that there is not enough disk space to convert this document, but I have about 175GB available.
