Appleworks Icon opens Microsoft Word Trial Instead

Hi all. I'm sorry if this issue has come up before and I just didn't see it (I searched but didn't find anything).
I just bought a brand new 12" Powerbook (oct 31/05). I was looking for a wordprocessing program that comes with the OS (Tiger) and I am under the impression that this is Appleworks.
I searched for Appleworks on my computer and it pulled up an Appleworks icon. When I click on this it opens the Microsoft Word for Mac trial on my computer.
What is going on? I tried this straight out of the box, right after setup (registration, etc.).
I haven't used a Mac in quite a few years, but I'm pretty sure Appleworks isn't Microsoft Word.

Welcome
Select an AW document's icon
cmd + i to open the Show infos window.
From the pop-up menu, choose "Open with application"
select "AppleWorks 629"
click on the button entitled "Change All".
After that, every file stamped with tha AW icon (the ones whose creator is named BOBO) will be open by AppleWorks 629.

  • When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

    When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my  IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

    If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • Spotlight opens Microsoft Word documents underneath an already open document

    Spotlight opens Microsoft Word document underneath an already open document

    New Lion Feature. If you quit an app that has open windows and documents, it will restore state when restarted; in other words, reopen all the stuff it that was previously open. That's why the new document gets bumped underneath the old.
    If too avant-garde for your tastes, visit the General pane in System Preferences and uncheck "Restore windows when quitting...".

  • Can't open Microsoft Word document through SharePoint

    Since upgrading to Firefox 35, I am no longer able to open Microsoft Word files through SharePoint. When I select "Edit in Microsoft Word," I get the error message "No connectivity with the server. [FILENAME] can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted."
    Note that this is specific to my Mac. I can open Word files on SharePoint when I use my VMWare Windows simulator.
    Any suggestions for a fix?

    see if any of these can help.

  • I can't open microsoft word on my macbook pro

    what do i do when i get error messages when i try to open microsoft word and excel

    Are you using Office 2004 on a Mac running Lion or later? If so, see:
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Microsoft Click to Run won't open Microsoft Word Starter 2010

    The error message says it cannot open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 to try again or to repair in Control Panel.  I have no idea how to repair it.  Any suggestions?
    I am running Windows 7 Home with an HP 2000 notebook pc.  64 bit Operating System.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response - I'll keep a note of that forum for any future problems I may have.
    I've come up with my own workaround for the problem though.
    It seems that new documents I create on the Mac work just fine in Windows. So I simply created a blank document on the Mac, set up the document margins etc to match the edited document I was having trouble with and copied the entire contents over. Worked a treat. Must have been the way it was created in the first place.

    Hi,
    I'm using Safari and FireFox -- mostly Safari.
    I looked in Safari preferences, and can't tell what to change.  It says "New windows open with Homepage".  Do I change to "Empty Page"??  Also, I looked at FireFox preferences, but can't see what to change.
    Love your pic

  • Can't Open Microsoft Word 2011 on my Mac it crashes

    I am hoping someone can help me. I can not open microsoft word 2011 on my mac book air (maverick operating system). 
    The problem actually did not happen until apple care helped me get rid of some malaware on my mac.
    However as I google the problem and it seems to be something happening to a lot of people. I went thorough many forums and tried everything suggested (ie http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/microsoft-excel-has-encountered-a-problem-and/222d7f46-a092-4d8d-8f9d-e48c8a1a90ec?tab=MoreHelp)
    I also restored the fonts and used another account user and it still does not work.
    Does anyone have a suggestion. I am about to give up and use pages because I do not know what to do, I am stumped.

  • Opening Microsoft Word Documents

    I love this word program but I wa wondering if there was a way it could open Microsoft Word documents sent to me in an email. It is really annoying that I have to pay $200 for a Microsoft product just to open other people's sent documents to me...it seems like there has to be an easier way or that MAC would come up with a way to transfer the Word documents so that they could be opened with Pages...

    Umm, you can open word docs with Pages. I do it all the time, just open them either by changing their association in Get Info or by choosing Open With and selecting Pages. You will probably see a warning if there are styles or fonts that didn't translate, but other than that it "just works."
