On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application? If so how do I perform this activity?

Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

HT6114 I just updated to mave do I address this?rick and can't open my microsoft word- hdo I address this?

how do I open my microsoft 2011 word after installing maverick- i can't open it anymore...

Make sure it is updated. If it is and doesn't open, try reinstalling it.
I didn't have any problem with Office when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I have had similar experiences with Office over the years.
Another thing to check is try to open it in another account. The Guest account works well as it creates a clean environment to test in. If it works in another account, it is likely one of the perference files or the cache that is causing it to fail.

I can't open my microsoft word what can I do

when I tr to open my microsoft work it says it can't be opened becuase of a problem. What should I do?

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with and that's where the MS experts hang out.

How can you save a pages document so it can be opened in Microsoft Word

How can I save a pages document so it can be opened in a Windows (Word) program?

Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word
Download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu to learn more about how Pages works.

How can I open old Microsoft Word Documents in Pages 9?

My new version of Pages '09 (Ver 4.1) is rejecting older versins of Word documents as unrecognized formats. Is there a means by which I can convince Pages to open these?

Peter,
LibreOffice was an excellent suggestion. It solved my problem and introduced me to what I know will be a valuable utility.
Thanks.

How do I open a microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

How can I open a Microsoft Word 95 document in Pages?

The document format is too old. Download the free LibreOffice, and then open this Word '95 document with it. Then export to a different filename.doc, or filename.docx, and then open in Pages.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

Workarounds:
1. Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
2. Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
3. Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word?

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word when I have drafted a pages doc on my mac and then send it to a PC to open and print through microsoft work - is there a way around this?

You can't open it directly. You need to either export it from within Pages, or rename the saved file so its extension is zip, decompress it, and get what you can from the contents.

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
**One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )

Pages Documents Always Open with Microsoft Word???

I have two word processing applications installed on my computer:
Microsoft Word (12.24)
Pages (4.04)
For whatever reason, documents in .pages always want to open using Microsoft Word.
I have tried everything to change this, including Get Info> Open With > Pages > Change All. At first this appears to work, displaying a (default) after pages in the drop-down box. However, when I next attempt to open the document, the document automatically opens in Microsoft Word. When I again check get info, Pages still has the (default) setting, but Microsoft Word is selected in the open with.
I can change individual documents to open with .pages (by selecting pages in the dropdown box), but this only works with the single document and is thus extremely impractical.
Can you think of how to solve this problem?

That is a (drop down) menu.
Try *Repair Disk Permissions* with *Disk Utility* and rebooting.
Something has appeared to been hashed.
Have you by any chance moved the Pages appliaction from out of the iWork folder in the Applications folder?
Also have you updated Pages to the latest version and updated your system using the Combo (downloaded) version of OSX Updater (not the one from System Preferences > Software Update).
