You cannot reward yourself. If you do then you simply use up your awards allocations for the topic. The board software will simply ignore any awards you give yourself. If you have found a solution to your problem on your own elsewhere, then you can award yourself the Correct award. It doesn't give points to anyone but will signify the topic as solved. You can be helpful to others when you find your own solution to post what that solution was so others who read the topic may be helped.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • Does Lion support the old microsoft word for MAC files?

    Does Lion support the old microsoft word for MAC  files? I have heard that if i down load  Lion then my Word files for Mac will not function or work. Is this true?? I don't want to download Lion if this happens.

    The file type does not matter, the program you use to open the file does.
    You need a newer version of word (or a third party program).
    You can use openoffice as well.

    Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
    Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011! 
    I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files.  How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011?  Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.

    You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
    Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
    Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
    Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem.  I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
    The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary."  Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
    You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
    Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
    Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

    I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document, I have Microsoft Word for my MacBook Pro.  How do I add a pdf to a word document

    What do you want to do specifically.  They are two different document formats - one is PDF, the other DOC or DOCX.  In what way do you wish to "add" ad PDF to a word document. You can embed a mini version within a document (copy it and paste it from within the x.doc) but that's a pretty hokey looking solution.
    Oh, its mostly irrelevant if its office 2004,8 or 11 - they all do this more or less the same way.

    Can I safely send the Word Office icons and anything else related to it that shows up in spotlight to the trash?
    You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.
    EDIT: A quick Google search found this link which may help you.

  • "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."

    I am a new RoboHelp user und I want to import content written with Word 2013 into RoboHelp.
    I'm using RH HTML 9.0.2 and MS Word 2013 (Office 2013) on a Windows 7 professional computer.
    When I try to import a Word-Document (I downloaded and used the example document from Peter Grainge and also tried other Word-documents) I get the following message:
    "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    What can I do?

    The error message is wrong as regards the version you need to install. It should state that you need a compatible version and the latest is Office 2010. Even Rh10 does not support Office 2013.
    There is a workaround when generating printed documentation but not when importing. You need to install Word 2010 which can co-exist with Word 2013 if you want to retain that for other purposes. Before using Rh to import, run Word 2010 first.
    To generate printed documentation using Word 2013, right click Properties in the layout, it works from there.

  • Old Versions of Microsoft Word

    Does anyone know where I can get really old versions of Microsoft Word? I would need either Word 4.0 on a floppy disk, or something right after it that would still access documents in Word 4.0, or someplace online where I could download the software. I could then transfer it to floppy disk and print from a very old Mac, or at least be able to open the documents in formatted form on a new one. Thanks.

    You may be able to open Word v4 files using these apps.
    WordPerfect is a word processing application. At the height of its popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the de facto standard word processor, but has since been eclipsed in sales by Microsoft Word. WordPerfect version 3.5e for Mac has been made freeware by Corel, and can be downloaded here http://main.system7today.com/software/wordperfect/wordperfect.html . It is a great, free alternative to Microsoft Word!

  • The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word

    Hello guys,
    I'm currently evaluating RoboHelp HTML 8.0.2.208. I'd like to import an existing Word document to a fresh new RoboHelp project. Unfortunately, everytime I've got the message below:
    "The Import Word Document Wizard cannot locate a supported version of Microsoft Word"
    "Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    I tried with several Word 2003 and Word 2010 documents but with no success.
    Could someone help me?
    Thans by advance

    Hi there
    I think it would probably be safe to assume that the next version will support Office 2010. I think logic alone can tell us that much.
    The larger question would be to ask when that next version is likely to appear. And my own purely unscientific speculation will be to hold the envelope to my head like the great Johnny Carson did. I proclaim we will see a new version appear some time in 2011. As to whether that will be early or late 2011, only Adobe can actually say for certain. Or even if a version will appear during that year!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Macs version of Microsoft word?

    what is macs version of microsoft word?

    This is what I had to do in order to read a Word .doc created in VISTA with a .docx label.
    I opened the .docx file with Stuffit Expander. I then went to the Word folder and opened the resulting document.xml file with Dreamweaver, copied the code, created a new html page, pasted the code and was able to read the text in the resulting "Design" view.
    Hopefully there will be an update for Microsoft Word:mac to open this in an easier way.
