Convert Word for Mac 3 documents

Sorry for my borderline inquiry: I am sitting on some older documents written by WORD for Mac 3 (in the early nineties) that I need to open again for my work. MS Word 2004 doesn't, neither does Apple Works or even MacLinkPlus up from version 12.
The MS site is not very helpful on this issue, but perhaps you guys can give me a hint on a suitable converter utility.
Thanks a lot,
W

Gruß dich Wolfgang,
An older version (AppleWorks 5, or ClarisWorks) has the appropriate MacLink translators for Word 3. If you don't have access to an older version (and if the file isn't huge or doesn't contain sensitive information), you can send it to me and I will see if I can resave it in a current format.

  • Can I import word for mac document, edit it, and convert it back to word?

    can I import word for mac document, edit it, and convert it back to word?

    Yes, with some caveats.
    Pages and Word do some things differently, so no guarrantees for anything. Mostly it works fine.

    Simply type command 8 again. That toggles the "show paragraphs" function.

  • Word For Mac Document Froze over top of another Word For Mac Document

    I have two Word for Mac documents open, one with my notes and the other being my essay.
    I needed to look up something from another word document that I accessed via an email. I downloaded the attacthed word document and opened it. It opened over top of my notes and froze. I cannot close the document that has froze so I would have to force quit Word for Mac, but that would cost me losing the document it has froze over as I am unable to save it. If this makes sense to anyone, I could really do with a hand, or be redirected where I could get some help!
    Thank you!

    All I can suggest is do a screen shot
    Shift cmd3
    or take a selection of what you want by
    shift cmd4
    save the file then force quick
    or press the power button on your machine till it quits.

  • HT204053 Can I see Excel and Word for Mac documents on icloud?

    Can I see Excel and Word for Mac documents on icloud?

    No, I already have Microsoft Office for Mac on my macbook and on my imac.  I want to share the documents from one (imac) to the other through Icloud.   But it doesn't show them as an option.   How do you share documents on one computer to the other within the same house?  

  • Q: convert Ami Pro (.sam) to Word for Mac document

    I have some Ami Pro for Windows files that need to be converted to Mac Word 2004.
    In Windows, it's the following procedure:
    -download Amipro converter from www.gmayor/downloads.htm & extract/unzip that yields 2 files
    - insert AMI332.CNV file into Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv
    - merge AMIPRO.REG to registry (rt click file & merge)
    I was able to convert the *.sam file into WinWord & save as a fully formatted doc file without making the registry change.
    Can I do the same thing with Mac Word 2004? How?

    Hi Kaal,
    Stefan, thanks to you, I'm going to change my profile description for level of skill & increase it to neophyte++.
    I call it 'learning by doing'
    Although I have my Macs for 2.5 years now (switched from Windows PC) I still learn something about them each day, especially when I am in this Forum !
    It took me a while to figure out what you were writing about in your reference to 30 days as I wasn't able to find anything on Windows offering a 30 day free trial. Wikipedia gave me the answer about the 30 days (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsProductActivation ). Not exactly elegant, but very practical. That's what I'll do.
    Sorry, if I wasn't that clear about it. Thought it was common knowledge. My bad.
    I tried 1 other thing since last post. I mentioned networking MacBook to PC & when selecting WinWord on the PC, that MacWord came up instead. Well, I didn't want to delete MacWord so I tried hiding the application folder & the MacWord application file by renaming them. That didn't work either as it brought up MacWord again.
    Sounds like there is file association between .doc files and MacWord. Have you tried using right-click on the .doc file and 'Open with...' ?
    Nonetheless when you are in OSX and want to open a .doc file, WinWord won't run in OSX and then MacWord opens.
    Tks - KAAL
    You're welcome anytime. Hope it works out for you.

  • Users of Word for Mac:  Help on Two Issues!!

    I downloaded some fonts I wanted to use in my Word for Mac document. Download went fine and the fonts are happily nestled in the Fonts folder. However, when I open Word, they do not appear on the Font listing. Any thoughts as to how to get them over so I can use them?
    Also, I wanted to use the Fonts to create a logo that--ideally--would be a half circle of text over the design. Simple enough, I thought: just go into Toolbox and pull down the styles (like you can in Windows) and choose the style I want.
    No such luck (we are dealing with a Mac here so everything is special) but suddenly a "special styles" toolbox appeared with exactly what I wanted--the ability to format a font to a 180' half circle, mirror image text and some other stuff that seemed interesting!
    When I went back to the document to format the text the "special styles" toolbox disappeared, never to be found again. Sigh...
    Any ideas? Oh, yes, there is a 180' in "Word Art" but I can't get the downloaded fonts into there, so that isn't really a solution.

    Okay, here are the details: Word for Mac 2008 Ver. 12.2.8
    Yes, I did post to the MS Forums.
    Still no answer from either MS or MAC forums.
    Sorry, but this doesn't strike me at that tough a question, hence the *****. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who uses Word for Mac and I'm equally sure I'm not the first one to download a font that didn't load into Word for Mac. The answer is out there somewhere....

  • Inserting pdf files in word for mac

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to insert pdf files in my word for mac document. I can insert the first page of the file by inserting it as an object but can't figure out how to insert the entire document.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    It actually isn't an odd thing to do. I have been working on a word document - a final report - for a client. I need to add several pdf files as part of the appendices. If I was printing off only a hard copy, I would simply print the pdf file and add them to the end of the report. However, my clients require that the entire document include all the appendices - on one document - to make it simple for anyone who needs to see the final report. I also need to mention that the pdf file is translated document in Inukutuk and I cannot simply copy it and then insert it as the fonts will not translate properly. Complicated I know.... When I insert the document only the first page of the 45 page Inuk document is inserted.
    The pdf files came to me from the translators and I don't know what kind of pdf file it is - I can't tell.
    Not sure if that is helpful or not...
    thanks.

  • Converting PDF to Word for Mac version 14

    I subscribed to PDF Export and tested it by converting a Word for Mac doc to a PDF and then opening same in Word. My font was Palatino regular. It opened alright, but
    Calibri was substituted for Palatino. How can I change this.

    I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
    By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)

  • When I convert a file (Word for Mac) my links are no longer clickable.

    I created a document in Word for Mac that included several hyperlinks. When I convert the file using Acrobat to a PDF, the links are still colored and underlined but no longer can I click through on them. How do I maintain the click through ability in the PDF form?

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI from the Creative Cloud. On a Mac. Apparently keeping links clickable from Word/Mac to Adobe Acrobat is a known issue).
    See this forum thread I later found after posting this question: Losing links when saving Word 2011 Mac to Acrobat Pro X 10.1.3
    I was successful in exporting to Pages then creating a PDF, however, I had to spend time adjusting quite a bit of formatting, which was less than ideal. And some formatting (like quote boxes) changed in Pages and I cannot get the Word version of the Quote Box. So again, not idea There are some other fixes mentioned in the link above that I am going to try.

  • Hello. On my Macbook air late 2013 model I am having a problem where microsoft word for mac just stops working for soon reason and at the screen where the document should be is just gray and does not even display the document. Does anybody have a fix?

    Hello. On my MacBook Air late 2013 model I am having a problem with Microsoft office word for Mac where the window for the document becomes all gray and I can not see anything that I have typed or any menus for it and also windows will sometimes dissapear and I am having truble getting them back. If anyone has anyideas of what is going on or could even help me thank you.

    Glad that helped.
    As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac.  Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • 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?
