Couldn't open my microsoft word attachment.

New to a mac. Just got one on the new release of OSX. I mailed myself a word attachment from a PC and when I got it on my Mac, it didn't recognize it as a word document. Microsoft Office 2004 is installed. I tried to do a "open with" and clicked WORD, it still wasn't recognized as a word document.
Has anyone run into this problem? Are there any suggestions?

Sorry everyone, it was my point of orgin that was setup incorrectly. I changed my outgoing mail from RICH TEXT to HTML and everything seems to be alright.

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?

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:

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?

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).

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.

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.

Why can't I open an email word attachment in pages anymore

When opening an email word attachment I was always given the option to open an attachment in Pages or as a PDF or in Dropbox but this no longer happens. Can anyone tell me if the functionality has been closed off or is it now dealt with in a different way?

Is the PDF Maker available in Excel? It is necessary to have PDF Maker workinig in OFFICE to be able to import those files.

Why suggest "ignore iWork"? I use iWork exclusively now, since dumping MS Office and I like it.
On its own it's fine, as a replacement for Office it's mediocre. Unable to save in Office format you are pushed into exporting (extra steps) simply to create an Office compatible file. Pages barely renders a Word document correctly (a trait also shared by Libre/Open Office). Numbers is a very poor substitute for Excel (the free ones are better).
And for all this you are expected to pay, whereas the other alternatives do a better job (with MS Office files) without a financial insult.
If Office is not in the equation I recommend iWork.

How do I open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010?

Hi All,
I am currently using Teststand 2010. I need to do a simple task, at least I thought it was simple. I want to open a microsoft word file using Teststand 2010. I thought the using the "Call Executable" would be the first step, but I am not sure how to set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
WJ

Hello,
You will actually need to use an ActiveX step to use Microsoft Word. I found this forum post with a similar question and an example. I opened the example and saved it to TestStand 2010 to reattach here.
Note: you will probably need to modify the "Open Document" step to make sure the FileName of the Word document matches the real file location.

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.

After updating to Mavericks "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS

after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS. How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists.
This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011!
