Can't close Word document from dock

I've never tried this before until now. I minimized several Word documents which places each one of them in the dock. When I select each document in the dock, "Close" is an option that appears, but when I select "Close", nothing happens. To close the document, I must click the document to open the window and then close the document.
Why won't the document close as the command would imply?

Hi Fred,
As I said, when the Application Word is launch from the Application ore directly from one of the Word documents that I keep in the Dock for direct access, the only option I have is "Show in Finder".
I just checked out, that it makes no differences when Word Application is already launch ore still close, there is only one option.
* By single clicking on the Word document I can open the Application Word.
* No more nor less.
For closing a active Word document you can use "command-W"

    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"

  • 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.
    Message was edited by: Idea Architect

    Try http://www.neooffice.org/ instead of Microsoft Word.

  • Can't Open Word Documents from my School's Website

    I am in a class that requires me to download & print off worksheets from the school's online "blackboard" website. My teacher also has a Mac, and she uses Microsoft software for Mac. Since I use Pages instead, can I not open these documents? I also can't open PowerPoint presentations on my MacBook, I am sure this for the same reason.
    If anyone could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Two things you may not have done.
    First, use the Mac OS 10.6.2 combo update. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
    Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. iWork '09 has since had update 3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • When I try to install abode - it will download but says i have to close firefox before it will install. also i try to open a word document from a website and it will not open - it will only download

    i install abode - it will download but not install and indicates i have to close firefox before it will download. Also, I try to open a word document from a website - it will download but not open.

    You need to close Firefox to install many plugins, including those from Adobe.

  • I can't print my document from Pages...the Print Button is down behind the Dock...and I can't click it to Print....healp!

    I can't print my document from Pages...since the Print Button is lodged behind the Dock...What do I do?

    Hi Judith,
    Your Print button should be accessible, of course, but sometimes we can do things to confuse the system and we have to take some action to get out of that situation. This case sometimes arises if we change the resolution of our screen display since opening the app, or if we change the position of something that is set to "stay on top" of the display.
    If the Dock is the problem right now, you could Hide it or Move it to a different edge of the display, to get it out of the way. Settings are in System Preferences, Personal, Dock. I usually have my Dock set to automatically Hide itself, so it's never in the way.
    You could also try Saving, Closing and reopening Pages and see if that resets the location of the Print Dialog. Or, you could  just hit Return rather than clicking on the button.

  • Can't open Word documents

    Recently, when I try to open email attachments created in Word the Word program opens up but no document! It doesn't even open a blank document, it just has all the toolbars and then nothing. I can open the documents in a different program (like TextEdit) but when I double click them Word opens up and I don't get an error message or anything, just no document...

    I had a similar problem in that the latest version of Works would open many Word documents from my previous computer but would not open more complicated documents that had large tables etc.  I decided to try downloading the free Open Office and found that it opens every Word document I have encountered so far and seems much more capable than Works.

  • Upload / Open a Word Document from BDS with WebDynpro

    Hello,
    we use the BDS (Business Document Server) to storage our word files. Now we use WebDynpro with the UI OfficeControl.
    Could any one tell me, how to open/upload my documents from BDS with the OfficeControl.
    The UI FileUpload does not work, because it is not allowed to use specify URLs. link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    For example that is the URL from the BDS: "SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/100/BDS_5FDB2_5FR/7B3AAF5B22AAD21197ED0060B0672A3C/Forminterface.doc"
    I use the class "CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET" with the method "get_with_url". result is above.
    Each example with the OfficeControl from SAP (Package SIOS) use the Mime Repository:
    mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
      CALL METHOD mime_repository->get
        EXPORTING
          i_url     = url
        IMPORTING
          e_content = content.
      wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'DATAS' value = content ).
    Have any one an idea, how BDS and WebDynpro works together

    What about getting the binary of the word document from BDS and download this?
    Yes, it exist a method calls "get_with_table". This return the binary path from my url above.
    Here is my source code:
    public attributes
    DATA oi_document TYPE REF TO if_ios_wordprocessing.
    DATA oi_factory TYPE REF TO if_ios_factory.
    METHOD wddomodifyview .
    DATA ol_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA ol_office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_office_control.
    DATA vl_document TYPE xstring.
    short from
      vl_document = myBDS->get_with_table( ).
    Settings for UI OFFICE_CONTROL
      ol_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'OFFICE' ).
      ol_node->set_attribute( name = 'DATASET' value = vl_document ).
    get the office control
      wd_this->oi_office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE_CONTROL' ).
    get the IOS Factory
          wd_this->oi_factory ?= ol_office->_method_handler.
    get proxy document
          wd_this->oi_factory->get_wordprocessing_proxy(
          IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->oi_document  ).
    CALL METHOD wd_this->oi_document->if_ios_document~opendocument( ).
    ENDMETHOD.
    When I compile everything is ok. But when I run my application, it nothing happen. No word file is opening or no error message. I create a ALC trace (SAPNOTE 949770).
    Each time when I try to open my word file comes a popup-window from the alc-trace:
    ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::| STG_E_READFAULT  : readaccess|HRESULT=-2147287010(     A disk error occurred during a read operation)
    ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|Office version is lower than 12, only native office format supported|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error

    But I have access to the BDS and to the document.
    Can any one help me.....

  • Can't open Office documents from network share

    Dear,
    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
    opens fine.
    Any idea?

    Anybody?
    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
    within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

  • Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

    We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
    The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
    Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
    I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
    Anybody?

    Hi,
    As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
    Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
    1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
    network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
    2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
    3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
    the same situation will occur.
    There is a similar case:

    Hi Sara Fan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
    1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
    2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
    4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
    3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
    4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
    5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
    Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
    Any other suggestions? 

  • Transfer word documents from Lumia 520 to mac?

    Is there an app to transfer word documents composed on the lumia 520 in office to mac?
    I only see apps for enabling photo/video and music transfers from 520 to mac.
    I've been to the mac app store and don't see an app to transfer word documents from windows phone to mac.

    You don't transfer documents to the cloud on iPad.  The cloud is for backups.  It's not for document storage. There are however, apps you can use like Dropbox, which are cloud servers, you can use to accomplish this.  You set up Dropbox, the free app on your iPad.  Then you download Dropbox to your computer.  You get 2GB free storage, but if you need more, you can buy it. 

  • Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

    How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
    In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

    On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
    If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

    Is there any tool readily available or do I have to develop one in visual studio 2005? If yes could some one please share the code as I do not know how to proceed on this.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Please respond. Let me know if you need more info.
