Documents in Microsoft Word format

Appleworks would be wonderful if it was just easy to read and save documents in Word format, or spreadsheets in Excel format. Are there any plans to add this capability that anyone is aware of?

It would be equally wonderful if Word or Excel would allow users to save in (and open) the AppleWorks format. While Word or Excel will never do that, your AppleWorks does have the capability -- I've been sending AW spreadsheets as Excel documents to Windows users for years. Older versions of AppleWorks (and ClarisWorks) have included translators accessible from the "Save As..." dialog.
Can you be a little more specific about the problem you are encountering? If your version of AW lacks the "Save As..." options, you might have to consider acquiring the MacLinkPlus translators.

My pages is showing error while opening a document in microsoft word format. Please help

While trying to open documents in microsoft word format, pages is showing an error. It is unable to complete the task and is requesting me to reopen pages but then no response. However I am able to work on pages format. Please help.
thanks

When you open a Word document in Pages, it is translated into the internal .pages document format — and you are no longer working in the original Word document format. This translation also occurs in reverse when exporting a document back to Word. When you open a Word document in Pages, if it has issues with the translation (missing font characteristics, other issues), it will open a warning dialog box and display these issues for you.
If however, you prefer to always work in the native Word document format, and not risk translation issues, then you should be using MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 with the latest update.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,

Canon Printer MG5420. How can I save a scanned document in the Word format?

I can only find the option to save scanned documents in the PDF format. I want to know if there is a way to save in Word. Can anyone help me? Canon Printer MXZ5420.

Hello Yvonne.
Specialized OCR software may be needed in order to save files directly to Microsoft Word format. Our software does not have this capability.
If you are attempting to scan a basic, text-only document. You can use our IJ Scan Utility to scan and make adjustments.
1. Start, point to (All) Programs, Canon Utilities and then open the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
2. Click 'Settings' on the lower right corner.
3. Click 'Document Scan' on the left.
4. Under 'Application Settings' on the right, select 'Start (OCR)' and choose 'Canon My Image Garden' in the menu.
5. Click OK.
6. In the IJ Scan Utility, click 'Document'.
When scanning is completed, Notepad will open and you will be able to edit and save your document.

E-mail document from Microsoft Word 2003

I am not able to compose a document in Microsoft Word 2003 and e-mail it from there. The format is available and so is the send button. The message is just not sent.

I now use Verizon wireless rather than cable. Do you think the problem may be with Verizon?
Nope. There would be no difference there.
Do you have Outlook 2003 as well as Word 2003?
Do you use it or Windows Mail for your email?
Whichever it is, set that as the default. See this Microsoft page.
Change which programs Windows uses by default

Hi Waqas
Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
Any further help with this is much appreciated.
Thanks again.

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

Why would you need to do that? You can attach a PDF to an email directly...

If I have a document in Microsoft word but now have on the Mac and the format is completely off. How can I get this to be right on the mac

I need Help with my Mac. We have a document that is on a thumb drive that was typed on a dell PC. We have a Mac at home and need to print the document. How do I get it to look the same as when on Microsoft word?

try NeoOffice or OpenOffice. I don't know what apps you have. Pages might open it or TextEdit, but, again, I don't know. All I can do is suggest. If you are really a stickler for format, if you're on that dell PC again, try saving the document as a .pdf and then putting it on the thumb drive.

Does mac computers come with microsoft word format for typing documents my professor only accepts this.

where do i find microsoft word on this mac computer?

If you need Word, buy it from Microsoft. There is probably a student discount.
You don't need Word or any Microsoft bloatware to read and save Word - readable documents.
There are better alternatives, such as Apple's Pages. It will read and save Word formats.
It's $20. If that's $20 too much you can use OpenOffice (free) or NeoOffice (free). All read and save Word documents.
