Compatibility issues btx Pages & Word

After reinstalling Pages after updated my system to 10.6.8 & clearing out my hard drive for a fresh new "start", Pages will no longer open Word documents. I want to avoid buying MicrosoftWord just for this problem. What do I need to do in order to open Word Docs again?

Peter,
I installed iWork'09 from scratch. I'm not sure how to update Pages to the latest compatible version for Snow Leopard? My software updates are all up to date. Do I need to download something else?
Thanks!

Pages to Doc Compatibility Issues

Why can't Apple/Pages fix its compatibility issues w. Word? It let's U save a file as doc. but many changes made in doc. do not take (e.g. tables, indentations, and page brakes). Why does not Pages default to the folder I open a document in when I re-save the document? Even when opening a document and making a simple change and hitting Save, Pages takes me back to the root directory. That makes no sense. Arghhh!!

Given what you described, I'm quite sure that you didn't exported the document as a .doc file where it was stored the first time.
I repeat : when you open a .doc file to edit it, it's a foreign document and the app doesn't take care of its original location. What is meaningful for it is location of files using its native format.
From my point of view, the best scheme is to work always on the native Pages document (don't re-open a file exported as .doc). If changes are required, apply them in the Pages document, save it then (and only when it's saved as Pages) export it as .doc.
When I'm forced to create a Word document from Pages, I don't use File > Export …
I don't use Share > Export.
I use Save As the way you may see on this Screenshot:
This way the default location is the one where the Pages document was saved.
The changes in the layout aren't bugs but the results of deliberate design choices.
As I wrote, the goal was not to reproduce exactly in Word the layout of the Pages document.
It was just to give something readable.
The User Guide clearly states that differences may occur.
As far as I know, when you open on a PC a document created in Word on a mac, you are not sure that it will match exactly the original design.
During the export process, documents created in Pages will loose several of the features which make Pages an interesting tool. I hate M…Soft products but, if someone is forced to exchange on regular basis with Office users, iWork isn't the tool to use. Better work with Office or with one of its free clones.

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Thanks so much for your positive reply! Are you a big user of Excel? That's where I've heard people have had trouble, with cells locking up and so on.

Mac / Adobe Compatibility Issues with Reader X1 & Acrobat X1

I'm using Acrobat X1 11.0.10 and Reader 11.0.10 with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5).
In Reader, when I click the "show next page" down arrow, it takes around 5 seconds to jump to the next page. (scrolling to the next page via the scroll bar works fine).
In Acrobat, when I use the text edit tools, it can take up to 10 seconds before I can edit a word (remove or add a letter).Oftentimes, Acrobat will highlight the whole paragraph rather than just the word I select. (I think this is due to the lag time.) When I backspace to remove a word, nothing happens ... for several seconds. Then letters begin disappearing.
I reverted from Mavericks and Yosemite back to Lion (or Mountain Lion - I forget what they called 10.8.5) in the hopes of fixing this issue. When I say reverted back. I did a full install. Wiped the hard drive, loaded 10.8.5 and started this Mac as if it were new.
Is there a version of Reader and Acrobat that work with Mac OS X ( 10.8.5)?

Hi,
Acrobat 11 is compatible with MAC 10.8.5. So, there are no compatibility issues.
Please let me know if this happens with every PDF or some specific one?
If specific, then please tell me what is the size of your PDF file.
You might also try repairing Acrobat from the Help menu.

<QUARTER_VALUE>360</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>360</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

OSX 10.9.1 Compatibility issue with Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B

I have Mac Mini's connected to the Sharp Aquos PN-L702B and PN-L802B touch screens and after updating to 10.9.1 am experiencing what appears to be a compatibility issue with the Sharp TPM driver and the OSX 10.9.1.
Everything works perfectly previously on 10.8.4 and 10.8.5. I did not test on 10.9.0 as I went straight to 10.9.1. Anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on resolution?

OK so perserverance seems to have helped here - i used the cmd R function on start up to get to the page where i can re install OS X Lion - Safari now working.
However i have Office 2011 for MAC and now Excel wont start so i will post on another thread for help with this
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar issue

I was wondering how come my Acrobat 6.0 Professional Standard before I had no problem now when I use it it states the program has compatibility issues, I have windows 7 what can I do..it was working before

I am looking for help in correcting this issue... I had no problem before using my Acrobat 6.0 professional to create word documents to pdf...now when I go to use it there seems to be a problem
it states that the program has compatibility issues with window 7
can anyone help please.

To expand on this, the PDF creation aspect of Acrobat had to be updated to deal with changes in the Windows spooling system (for the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance) as well as to support 64-bit versions of Windows.

Browser compatibility issues with different versions of IE

I'm looking for an online resource or book on identifying/troubleshooting JSP browser compatiblility issues focusing on recent versions of IE (5.0 - 6.0).
Any sugguestions?

A JSP runs on a server. It is actually a servlet that merely outputs HTML (usually) to the browser. Your browser does not (really) know the difference between a JSP and a static HTML page and PERL cgi generated page. There is no interaction what-so-ever between the JSP portion and your browser. There will not be any books about compatibility issues between JSP and browsers since its a non-issue.
The previous reply suggesting JavaScript conflicts is entirely true. If you want a flipping nightmare job, write javascript that is compatible on NN 3.0 and above and IE 4.0 and above. It's a godd**ned mess.

42SL417 Connection or Compatibility Issue with Explorer Cable Box 8642HDC

I have the TV listed above and recently switched to Brighthouse cable. Intermittently my TV loses the connection to the cable box and the input information (1080i, 720p, etc) comes up across the top of the TV and the picture resets. I had the cable guy out and he said that there was a compatibility issue between the TV and the cable box. I didn't get all the information since he talked to my wife, I was at work. I don't believe that this is the issue, but wanted to check to see if this was a known problem or if anyone has had a similar experience. My firmware is 2.2.2, which I believe is the most current. Any thoughts or ideas? The best I could get from my wife was that the box was trying to communicate with the TV to maximize resolution and the delay creates the connection problem. Before I call the cable company back, I wanted to get some opinions. My thought is that there is a signal problem since the internet had connectivity problems as well. He changed the cable on the internet connection and said that would fix that, but I can't believe they aren't related.

That is indeed the latest firmware.
You may want to perform a factory reset, as described on page 44 of your user's guide. After the reset, ensure your TV is off and unplug it for a few minutes. All your settings will be reset, so you will have to set up the TV again.
You might also want to try disabling CEC (page 39) or auto aspect ratio feature (page 47).
I don't know for sure that any of this will help, but these are your best bets. Unfortunately, if none of this helps, I'm out of ideas.

Spry accordion browser compatability issues

I am building my first site and was in the process of checking each page for browser compatability. this certain page has spry accordians and I have some error messages that I don't understand.
The first one says Line 48 has 2 errors in SpryAccordian.css. I don't have any indication of what the problem is and where exactly line 48 is on the page. Is there a way for it to take you to that exact spot to show you where the problem is?
I clicked on get more info. and came to a page that doesn't seem to be addressing what my issue is. Don't understand that part.
How do I fix this and why did it happen?

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
Thanks & Regards
Amit

Dreamweaver CC may have a compatibility Issue with Dreamweaver CS6?

I installed Dreamweaver CC onto my laptop (Windows 7 OS). I am able to build new web pages using Fluid Grid Layout. But when I attempt to open previously designed web pages that were build using Dreamweaver CS6, Dreamweaver CC crashes.
I was told today, in Chat, by Technical Support, that it was a compatibility issue between Dreamweaver CC and Dreamweaver CS6 (for Fluid Grid). Can this be confirmed? I have no problems going back and rebuilding previously designed Fluid Grid web pages. I just want to know that there is no fix/work around available?

Hi Norv56,
I was alerted of this issue today. Would it be possible for you to send us your files for investigation? It would be difficult for us to investigate without those.
Thanks,

Installing Acrobat Standard 6.0 under Windows 8 & Microsoft Office 2013 - compatability issues

In older Windows/Office versions, a PDF Printer was integrated into software, such as Word. this would allow you to print directly into Acrobat in PDF format.
Under Windows 8 Office 2013 there seem to be compatability issues and I can not longer print to Acrobat.
Are there any patches or solutions out there ??

i'm a fan of doPDF: www.dopdf.com
which allows any app with print capabilities to print a pdf document.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it. I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5.

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

IE 7.0 Compatibility Issues

I have designed our website with Dreamweaver 6.0 and just
recentely downloaded IE 7.0 and when I go in to view our website
the whole site doesn't work. My background bleeds into the rest of
the page as you scroll or the background stays put and the rest of
the page scrolls. My links still work it is just the point of being
able to see where they are. How do I fix this compatibility issue.
I have noticed looking through other peoples forums that this is a
issue for some people. Our website is www.fairmontchamber.org if
you would like to check out what it is doing yourself. I am stumped
on how to fix this problem. Can anyone help me!!!!

DW6.0 had many strange behaviors. It would be a very good
idea for you to
update to DMX6.1 at your earliest convenience.
