Does anybod know a solid way to open .xml files made by Word 2003 SP2?

I've heard some rumblings about MS Office 12 finally supporting a relatively open xml based document format by default. Well I was looking around when I noticed that Word 2003 for windows can save in xml format. In theory it should be able to opened by any application that supports the schema.
Does anybody know of a Mac app that can open this format properly? I tried Pages but some of the formatting doesn't come out exactly right.

I was hoping for something that would show the file as if it were open under Word. TextWrangler and Smultron show the underlying xml code and the pictures show up as garbled text. I suspect that garbled parts are the proprietary components still in affect…
I'm surprised that there seems to be little support for this format so far. Though if the format being outputted by Word 2003 were truly standard, support would have probably cropped up by now. After my last few efforts at opening the file I can only come the conclusion that the current xml implementation is half-assed.
One more question, does anybody know if the .xml files made by Word 2003 are going to be the same kind of .xml files outputted by Office 12?

If you updated from 2003 that must be on a Windows machine, can you recover them from there?

Can i open PAGES file on MS WORD 2003 (PC)?

i type my documents on my iBook's PAGES and i wonder, would i be able to open all these docs on the conference room's PC laptop running windows XP (MS WORD 2003) without me carrying the iBook to work i plan to bring the file i saved with PAGES on a flash drive.
what should i avoid in saving files in PAGES to avoid incompatibilities with MS WORD 2003?
thanks.

Hello Alvin,
you are only able to open Pages files/documents in Pages. I fyou want to open a document you have made in Pages in other apps, export the document to a file type the other apps can open. For word this is a ".doc" or try a ".rtf" file. But since there are a lot of incompatibilities between the different versions of Word documents for Windows, you have to try with what version of Word you are able to open the exported Pages file.

Is there a way to open/edit files made with Microsoft Publisher on my new Mac?

I recently upgraded to a Mac from a Dell and I have documents that I made with Microsoft Word and Publisher that I still need to be able to use with my Mac but I can't figure out how to open them with it. Is there a program that I need to download?

Word documents from your PC will open directly in Word for the Mac. If you have the ability to save your Publisher documents from the PC in PDF format, they can be converted from PDF to Word format and emailed back to you by this web site, free of charge:
http://www.pdftoword.com/
Note that not all features of the resulting Word files will be as completely editable as they were in Publisher, but they should look pretty much the same and open easily on the Mac.

Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

I have a MacBook pro 10.6.8, 2.66 Ghz 8GB 1067MHz. Please does anybody know of software that can auto send emails to a word/pages doc. and insert in date order into a book file, so that you can open like a book

I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8, 2.66 Ghz, 8GB memory 1067Mhz running Snow Lepard. I am going mad with trying to organise emails and cross reference to file documents, also the first model iPad.
Does anybod know if there is any softeware - pages or otherwise that can copy emails automatically to document files and insert them in dated order and also that the file can be reviewed like a book by flicking from bottom right hand corner iPad book style.
Please help me run my contracts easily, it shouldn't be difficult in this day and age.
I currently use Apple 'Mail' and microsoft word but am considering any new software that can organise and integrate mail better. I use photo inserts and scanned documents and excel spreadsheets.

No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!

I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s w/ out jailbreak?

Does anybody know of a way to get PSX Emulator for iPhone 4s (iOS 7) w/ out jailbreak? Im trying to relive my childhood on my phone. I have the gameboy emulator and i know the date and time rule. I was just wondering if anybody knew a good place to get a psx emulator without having to jailbreak my device.
Also, does anybody on the off chance know a record-your-screen program for iOS 7 without a jailbreak? That would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advanced,
PMC~

I think that the psx emulator is actually in the retroarch emulator.
Haven't tested it as of yet, because the download link isn't working.
I'm using the GBA emulator at the moment too but I'm pretty bored of it, I wanted to play final fantasy :(

There's Toast.

$79.99
Final Cut Pro X will also burn DVDs.
$299.99
How large is your movie? Is it possible that you could output it as a QuickTime file and then burn that as a data DVD? Is uploading to YouTube an option?

My aunt recently upgraded her software to ios 6 and lost all of her contacts. However, when I updated my software this did NOT happen. She hasn't backed up to iCloud, so does anyone know of a way to restore her contacts without the iCloud?

Her contacts would be wherever she put them
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly. If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.
