Can i open .cwk files on windows by any method ?

Hi
I'm concerned about my mac dying and all my documents being in .cwk files because i use appleworks for most of my writing stuff.
If i had to revert to a cheap pc laptop and windows, could i access my backed up (on dvd) .cwk files by any method ?
I'm imagining
- either it's a universal file type
- i could change the extention to a txt file or a .doc file
Could someone explain what i would need to do ?
Thanks for your attention

ok
i got appleworks 6.2.4 & office 2004
i opened your applescript - double click
choose 'run' as i couldnt figure out the application bit
Ran it on a .cwk file in a folder by choosing the folder in 'run'.
I get a message box:
WP - NO TRANSLATION
SS - NO TRANSLATION
DB - NO TRANSLATION
GR - NO TRANSLATION
I choose 'ok'
An empty 'wasBOBO_nowOffice' folder is created
An untitled .cwk file is created which says:
"Unsaved files. ### Not copied ### hard drive:Users:didiertickell:Desktop:untitled folder:_LOVEFILM RECS copy.cwk"
I open the original .cwk file i wanted to convert and re-save it to 'wasBOBO_nowOffice' folder
by selecting the option to save it as a word / windows 97 2000 xp 2002
A mac plus link box saves it
It saves a an rtf file and opens in text edit
Any advice.....?

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Why i can't open freehand files in Windows which are created in Mac??

As i use Mac to operate freehand in my company. But when i open those files at home by using Windows freehand, i can't open them? Why?? Please help..thanks!

Most obvious - make sure the Mac file have the correct ".FH10" file extension.
I use FHMX on Windows7 and regularly open Mac files from FH8 without any dramas.
Try back-saving the Mac files to FH8 (with .FH8 file extension) and opening those on the PC.
Failing that, convert individual layers to PDF open those on the PC and re-assemble the drawing.
Good Luck

I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
See the following for more info.

Can not open up any PDF files. I have a new computer with windows 7. Have dowloaded 9.2 adobe reader as well as air. It comes up as File Conversion with options of select the encoding that makes your document readable. Nothing I choose works & there is no english available. HELP

What is your operating system? What is your Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?

Can't open pdf file in window 7

When I open pdf file, an icon is popped up showing "Adobe Reader stopped operation. Program stopped normal operation because of problem happened. Window will inform you later if probem is solved."

I had uninstalled the Adobe Reader program twice and installed again but it can't be worked.
Also, your second method can't be solved my problem.
The problem is as follows:
When I open pdf file through internet and the mouse’s cursor is inside the IE8 browser , the box popped up. Because I used Chinese windows 7. The meaning likes this
"Adobe Reader had stopped operation
Windows are trying to find the solving problem…"
Then, second box popped up.
"Adobe Reader had stopped operation
Because of problem, the application had been stopped.
Windows closed the program, to be informed you later if problem is solved"
Same problem in opening pdf file in my computer’s folder.
But it can work with the keyboard if the mouse’s cursor is not in the pdf document area. Or using Google Chrome browser to see internet pdf file.

Can't open .cwk files in Office 2004 - Help

Hi, imac intel 24. Running latest software. I have several .cwk files from back when. Now, I can't open them. I believe they are spreadsheets but Office 2004 won't open them. Any ideas? I always get an error saying I need a 3rd party app. Thanks in advance.

Word 2004 can open AppleWorks word processing documents. I have never been able to get Excel to open an AppleWorks spreadsheet though I've seen a couple of other users say they could. Nothing other than AppleWorks can open AppleWorks draw, paint or database files.
You can try icExcel from Panergy Software which can open AppleWorks 5 & 6 spreadsheets. It doesn't save as Excel, but will save as text.
The best option I can think of is to get AppleWorks for your Mac. It will run very well on an Intel Mac.
Since this question is really about opening AppleWorks files, the better place to post would have been the AppleWorks forum. When a question is about using Office, I would normally suggest posting in the Microsoft newsgroup, but I doubt you'd find many users who know anything about AppleWorks.

Can't open Flash files on Windows XP

I have Flash Player 9 installed. I can view Flash files
online in my browsers (IE and Firefox), but when I try to open a
Flash file on my computer to just play it in Flash Player, it asks
me what I want to use to open the file. I have searched the support
documents and looked online everywhere, but can't seem to find the
problem. Basically, I can't find the actual Flash Player program
file on my machine. I know it's there, otherwise I wouldn't be able
to view Flash files in the browser, but I can't view them on my
local machine.
I have tried setting the program associated with .swf files
in folder options to the following, but none of them work. When
associating .swf files with any of these, it says an update for
Flash is available. I go through the update, reboot because it says
it's required, but when I start back up, it just does the same
thing. I cannot open Flash files (.swf) on my computer, only in the
browser and none of the paths I have tried setting .swf files to
open with are actually the Flash Player application. I need to know
where the Flash Player is on Windows XP.
HELP?!?!?!
The paths I've tried are:
C\WINDOWS\stsyem32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9b.exe
C:\i386\Flash.ocx
C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
None of them will open Flash files on my local computer. I
have searched my machine, and those are the only paths I can find
that have anything to do with the Flash Player. Even though it's an
Adobe product now instead of a Macromedia product, I can't find
anything for Flash in any Adobe directories, just Macromedia
directories.
Does anyone know how to remedy this? Has anyone else had this
same problem? Any help would be
GREATLY
appreciated!!! It seems like I started having this association
problem as soon as Flash was switched from Macromedia to Adobe.
Thanks!

I found the solution. After searching the web for what seemed
like an eternity, I found the following on a Google Groups page:
quote:
1 - How can I make my PC play a flash file on my local hard
drive?
Unless you buy Macromedia Flash (the authoring environment)
you can't play them just straight off, you have to open them with a
browser which has the Flash Player plugin installed. To do this,
either right-click on the .swf and select open with... (internet
explorer) or open IE and then go to file... open.... etc.
Then I realized that I started having the problem about the
time I got my new laptop. I didn't install Flash MX on my new
laptop because I don't really use it anymore, I use Swish, so I
didn't install it because I hate installing programs I don't use.
Anyways, I installed Flash MX on my new laptop and walla, I can
open .swf files on my machine again.
I didn't realize I had to have Flash installed (the program,
not the player) in order to be able to open .swf files on my
machine as opposed to viewing them in a browser. Guess I know now!
I thought I'd post what I found in case anyone else had the
same problem and didn't realize it.
Thanks!

Can't open .cwk files

Upon transferring .cwk files from my flatpanel to a new MacBook, I find I can't open them, and a screen telling me to purchase iwork appears. Is purchasing iwork the only way I'll be able to open these files?

if you have the old apple work, you can use it, but it is under rossetta so it is not as fast as iwork.
Check here, maybe there is software that can open .cwk instead of iWork.

Can't open pdf files in Windows 8 with Acrobat XI

I have windows 8, and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. When attempting to open PDFs I get this message "Adobe Reader could not open 'Wiring Invoice 409343281 Dated 04_05_2013-2.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried documents from numerous different sources, all with the same result. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, restarted, etc. I did not have this issue with XP and Acrobat reader X. HELP!! I cannot print invoices until this is corrected....thanks!

Hi,
Are you try to open PDF file attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird.?
Could you try to save the PDF file locally and then try to open the PDF file?
Or try downloading sample PDF from here http://www.samplepdf.com/sample.pdf and open it in Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I can't open batch files in windows 8.1

I am trying to run a batch file in windows 8.1, when i run the batch file runs at first but closes so fast that you can't see its contents, you can't even see if its doing what you tell it to. Since the file does run but closes fast, i thought of adding
pause. Adding pause did not fix the problem. I am not sure if i have to change my keys on regedit, or i have some kind of malicious software that needs to be fixed ( I think i have no malicious software, i have run security scan many times
nothing showed up, I had a Trojan horse, Trojan.Gen2, long time ago but the Trojan got quarantined?) I originally had windows 8 but upgraded to windows 8.1.
Help Please! I don't Know what to do!!!

Hi Glogikon,
"I am trying to run a batch file in windows 8.1, when i run the batch file runs at first but closes so fast that you can't see its contents, you can't even see if its doing what you tell it to."
According to my experience ,it is a normal symptom .Did the bat file run well before ?
Have you tried to run the command one by one in the bat file from a command line ?Have you tried to run the other bat files which including a output to have a check ?
If it is possible ,please post the command of the bat file here .We will make a test for you .
To check whether the bat run well ,this link may be useful:

" I think i have no malicious software, i have run security scan many times nothing showed up,"
We can try to work with the following official free tool to have a check .It is recommended to run it in a safe mode to improve the quality of the scanning.

Can't open *.msg files from Windows

I am moving from PC to Mac and I used to store my e-mail messages as *.msg files in my hard drive and not Outlook 2011 nor Mail recognizes them so I can't open them, what can I do?

But what about if I want to view the attachments as well? I have Office for Mac 2011 and I've been trying to open some .msg files from Outlook 2007. I received them as files on a disk, and I was able to open them on my PC at work just fine. However, I can't open them on my Mac. I downloaded a free trial of Mail Raider (and a couple other programs, but none of them worked.) It only opens some of the files. They come out as a mess and the attachments aren't accessible. And the rest of the files just don't open at all, or sometimes it doesn't realize there are attachments. I was able to randomly extract one attachment and a jumbled email message, and that's my only success so far. I used the same method on another email/attachment and got nothing. According to what I've seen on Microsoft blogs/forums, it seems like Outlook 2011 should be able to open these files, so I shouldn't even need another program, right? Please help!

Can't open a file on Windows RT

I cannot get new .pdf files to open on my Microsoft Surface with the latest version of Adobe Reader Touch.

Thank you for sharing the file. This is an XFA form that requires dynamic rendering, a feature that the Reader Touch does not support.
To fill this form, you will need a full desktop version of the Adobe Reader (only available for x86 on Surface Pro or Desktop machines) from http://get.adobe.com/reader.
