Can't print Word docs

Just switched from Windows XP to iMac and had all my hard drive docs, pics, etc. transfered. But I can't print any of the docs, only e-mails and pics. And I can't print pages from recently installed Final Draft. Why?
Also, why is the text on iMac so tiny, and how do I default enlarge it? Thanks.

...or, if anyone is a student in your household, like you or a child of yours, then you qualify for the student price of M$ Office, which is like $160, not too ugly for three apps. Plus, you get (or at least you used to get) three licenses. These licenses are meant for non-pecuniary use only, however.
If you are a federal or state government employee or employed at an educational institution, the Apple webstore gives personal non-pecuniary use discount prices for people that fall into those categories, too (can't quote you a ballpark price estimate though).
But, NeoOffice has the best price, although I can't attest to true 100% compatibility with M$ Office in all situations. But even if it's not 100% true across-the-board compatibility, the cost verus risk ratio is hard to ignore.
It would appear that the trialware version of M$ Office is a crippleware product by design.

  • Samsung CLP310 printer- printing word doc problem

    i have had a Samsung CLP310 printer for a while and its worked perfectly, however, just recently it has not allowed me to print word.doc files , i have to convert them first to a pdf and then print.
    Does anyone know if there has been a change to the driver or if i have downloaded a recent universal software upgrade that has mucked things up? Any advice well.
    (I have tried the reset printers options etc..)
    Many thanks

    I'm having the same exact problem but can't seem to get ANY response!! The link below was never responded to so I copied it here. IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE ADOBE USE THE "HP" DRIVER AND NOT THE XEROX?????

    We have a similar problem with 2007 Excel files embedded in Autodesk Inventor 2008. The pdf preview will look fine, but the PDF file has the black box that you are talking about. Also happens when we print to a Xerox Phaser 7300. When we print to a "HP designjet 800" it will print fine. Does it has something to do with the Xerox printer driver???? We have all the latest updates we beleive? We started with Acrobat Adobe 8.1.1, a new install shouldn't have to install 8.0 first should it?

  • How can I print a doc from my iPhone 4S to a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer with WiFi? Thanks!

    How can I print a doc from my iPhone 4S to a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer with WiFi? Thanks!

    Unfortunately you need an airprint enabled printer to print from an iOS device. There are some work arounds but they are very complicated and aren't proven to work 100%. From what I understand through rumors they are working on allowing all wireless printers to work with iOS but at the moment that's a pipedream. I don't know how important it is but if you really need to print from iPhone you can find some great AirPrint printers on Ebay for decent prices. Good Luck!

  • Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

    I can't print a doc in adobe reader x

    Is there a Dock Icon that was created for your Printer? If so, open it and look at the list to be printed and delete the extras.
    If not, you did not get that far, so no 15 copies for you!

  • Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

    Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

    I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
    **You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

  • I can't print PDF's right with any driver I can print word docs draft qual.

    here's the dealio- my new core2duo doesn't want to communicate with my hp deskjet 832c. I was able to print through my ethernet network to a shared 832c once, and it did print right, but I can't do it again because whatever program I'm in when I try to select a shared printer crashes. That doesn't help with the usb connected printer on my machine though; the only good print I've been able to get is draft quality only in a word doc. My printer spits out tall distorted text, partial and blank pages etc. The new mac mini with the core2duo is doing the same thing with it's hp deskjet 840c.

    Well Mactopians, it seems that my wife has solved this issue by downloading and installing HP's OSXInkjet driver ( even though we're using deskjets) when she visited the HP website. The wonders never cease.

  • Failure to print word docs

    I am unable to print from a word doc. I was able to print a test page, can print from outlook and from HP web page. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? My printer is a HP4400 all in one and I have windows XP home addition installed. Thanks

    Hi there mikekaye,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Can't print all docs to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium

    I just bought the 8600. I can print Word, Excel and PDF documents from my HP HDX 16-1140US notebook just fine. The notebook runs Windows Vista and the network connection is wireless. 
    I also have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop that was upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 about three months ago. It's connected to the network via Ethernet. The only documents it will print come from Word. When I try to print from Excel or Adobe I get a message that there's no network connection. I used to be able to print everything despite the upgrade to Win7.
    I installed the printer on both machines using the HP DVD. Due to problems with our phone lines that our wiring guys need to address, I haven't installed the fax yet on either computer. 
    Our service provider for phone and Internet is u-Verse. They just installed a Motorola NVG589 modem/router a few days ago to replace a 2Wire that got fried in a power outage. (It's probably not a surprise to you then that our wiring guys need to get involved too...)
    I'm slowly remembering to turn the printer on before I send a print job, so I check the power button first when I get a "network disconnected" message. (I'm just not used to the power-saving functions of the 8600 yet; I had a 6500n for nearly five years.)
    I hope this is enough background to help you tech-types help me. Thanks a million!

    Hi,
    I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print.
    Are you able to access the EWS page using the IP address assigned to the printer. http://192.x.x.x. If you are able to access that I assume your network is fine.
    Have you tried to reinstall the HP SW. I suggest you reinstall the software. Please ensure to uninstall before reinstalling again. You can also get the latest SW from HP Support site at http://www.hp.com/
    While I am an HP employee, I am not a expert on all our products. If I offer advice, I'm not speaking for HP on how to solve an issue, but I'll do my personal best to help you. Was your question answered? Mark it as an Accepted Solution! See a great post? Give it a Kudos! 

  • I can't print PDF docs since Reader XI update

    Help!!!!!!!  I can't print PDF documents since updating to Reader XI.  Had no problems before this update.  I have read other users posting and tried one "fix" that was suggested suggesting user try to print docs as "image," but that choice was not active to select.  I can't print even older PDFs that are on file in my computer.  Please advise - this is interfering with my business.  Thanks.  I get an error message indicating "no pages selected to print" even though it defaulted to Print All.  I selected by one page, pages 1-5, etc. with no success.  Windows 7 system.

    Pat, that did not fix the problem.  I still get the messages that the document cannot be printed and that no pages are selected; the print dialogue box shows that “all” pages are selected.  I get the message even if I manually select “pages 1-7” etc.  I tried deleting Adobe and reinstalling it but I get a 1311 message that seteup.exe cannot be located.  I tried downloading just the Adobe Reader printer drivers from your site and get a message saying that the download was not successful.  Please help.

  • Can't export Word docs to network drive

    I can't export Word documents to a network drive. I can save the document in .pages format, but if I try to export, the software goes through the motions, but the Word document is never created. If I "Save As" and check "Save Copy as Word Document," I receive an error message "The document ... could not be exported as ....doc." At least I get an error message, which is better than thinking a document exported when it didn't. I can't find any way to report this bug to Apple.

    I'm not really surprised by this behaviour.
    I think that good practice is to save / export on a 'normal' device then move the document from the 'normal' device to the network.

  • How can I open Word docs with Pages?

    I just installed the iWorks software because it said it would open Word docs. Now I can't seem to open any Word .doc files I had archived onto CDs, after abandoning my PC.
    I've made Pages my default application for opening text, and that didn't help. I just keep getting the error message "The document "X.doc" couldn't be opened." Any ideas?
    IMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Paul
    Pages - the word processing/page layout application in iWork (no "s") - usually doesn't have any problems with opening Word files, but I do believe it can't open any Word files older than version 6. It is also highly unlikely that it would be able to open any from the new 2007 version. If your documents are from a version in between those, they should open.
    How are you trying to open them? There are at least three common methods, but, since you say the documents are on a CD, I suggest copying them from the CD to your hard drive first. To open one at a time you can use File > Open (where > means following menu commands with your cursor). To open more than one at a time, select the ones you want by Command- (⌘) clicking the files & then dragging them onto the Pages icon in the Dock or a Finder window or Control- or right-click & choose Pages from Open with in the contextual menu that appears.

  • Can't open Word docs with Pages 08

    Since upgrading to SL I found that I can no longer open Word documents sent to me via email attachments. Can this be remedied? I thought Macs were able to "translate" Word files.
    Help!

    I did discover I can open Word docs with Text Edit, but it's a multi-step process now. I really don't want to upgrade to iWork 09 and I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I also have to use Quick Time now to open movies in iPhoto. Another multi-step process. I'm not very happy with SL.
