Does not open created word documents

When I work on a document in Pages and save it as a word doc, it does save however when I try to open it later, it does not work. This has happened to me with several word docs now. Any ideas on why it may be?

It seem to be a problem in relation to the latest Mac OSX 10.6.2 updates.
After new clean installing the Mac OS X 10.6.2 after a start disk failure it's not possible, now to open .doc with Pages 4.0.3, .xls with Numbers and .ppt with Keynote.
So what's the problem? Before the complete new installations there were no problems with opening of those files types. Meanwhile I installed 10.6.2 over the previous 10.6.2. version with new updates again to exclude any installation failure. Now change. And I reinstalled iWork to. Pages loads half the .doc file and comes with the error messages, that in can't load the .doc file. Same in keynote, but then keynote crashed. At last try with pages there was an Error message with unknown error while importing, not a crash of pages. Sometimes the programs crashed with kernel address errors:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x000000007079546c
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
The only difference before and after new installing after the start disk problem and the new installation was the updating of several Apple Updates. So either there is a problem with these latest updates or after the clean installation of 10.6.2 there are files missing previously available on the system necessary for opening the mentioned file types.
Info. You can view .doc, .xls and .ppt files in Quick View as normal.

Adobe reader is not opening my word document stating that it is an unsupported document??????

I am having difficulty opening a word document that my instructor has attached to my Oncourse (student page) online. I have Adobe reader and Microsoft Office. Every time I try to open a word document a message box pops up from Adobe Reader stating that it cannot open it because it is either an unsupported file or it was damaged??????????

Originally I was unable to open a document without getting a pop up screen from Adobe stating that Adobe was unable to open the doc because it was either an unsupported file or because it was damaged.
I tried opening it up as the link you sent me directed me to, however I was unable to even follow step one because it did not gice me ANY of the options.
My friend was trying to "fix" it last night and now it is doing something completely different. Now, when I try to open a document it opens a message box that reads, C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\Ch1pos(3).pptx is not a valid Win32 application???????
I have 4 classes and 3 of my instructors had sent attachments to my Oncourse and or Canvas page and I have been unable to open their attachments since I have gotten my computer back from having a new harddrive put in. My boyfriend declined their offer to add Office because his mother has the disc. I installed Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, I have Adobe Cloud (which I am not sure I even need), Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 (also not sure I even need), Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08- also not sure I need), Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 (not sure I need). .....

In Acrobat 11 portfolio does not open to first document in file.

When opening portfolio it opens with focus on second to last document in portfolio not the first. I've reorder and saved, reordered and saved to new file with no change any other change is saved. How does acrobat decide which file to display when it opens the portfolio?

This problem has plagued our use of PDF Portfolios for years.
No matter what you do with an existing Portfolio, the Portfolio insists on opening to the file with the name which sorts first alphabetically. Setting the Order fields correctly does not change this behavior.
There are only two ways I can ever get a PDF Portfolio to open to the first document in the collection:
Name the individual files so that they sort as desired by their alphanumeric names. Obviously, this is a crude workaround.
Build the Portfolio from scratch using the Combine Multiple PDFs... dialog. That dialog lets you arrange the various PDFs using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. The problem with this is, that dialog is not available when working in an existing Portfolio. If you add and/or delete files to the existing Portfolio and save it, it will always open to the file with the name which sorts first alphabetically, despite the files being numbered and ordered correctly by the Order field (or any other field you create an tell it to sort by). The files do sort according to the specified field, but the Portfolio refuses to open to the first file in the sort order. It insists on opening to the file which would be first if they were sorted alphabetically by filename.
Here's the recurring problem: I have to re-publish new versions of multiple Portfolios every year. It takes much tedium and time to setup a Portfolio from scratch. For example, including the needed image and text boxes in the Header has to be re-done; there (stupidly) is no provision for copying those objects from an existing Portfolio into a new one. So one expects to be able to simply open an existing Portfolio, delete its documents, import new documents, and save it. But whenever I do this, the Portfolio reverts to opening to whichever document would be first if sorted alphabetically by filename. This happens no matter how I add the new documents. If I add them one at a time, the Order field gets set correctly. But that has no bearing on the unwanted behavior of displaying first some document other than the first one in the collection.
So every year, I end up searching this forum looking for a fix, finding none, and resorting to awkward meaningless prefixes (01_, 02_, etc) on the file names. Very inelegant to the recipients.

Please help, I can not open the word document after I have exported from a PDF

Please help, I have bought this programme to convert PDF documents to word documents. All I find at the moment is that the document is not being converted and will not open once I have saved. It asks which programme I would like to select to open the saved file, and them does not work.
Please let me know where I am going wrong?
Ko

Good day Ko,
It sounds like the file extension may have been dropped when you saved the file to your computer.
Does your converted file have the .docx or .xlsx extension on the end? If it doesn't, try renaming the file and appending the file extension. You should be able to open your saved document in Word or Excel then.
Kind regards,
David

Adobe Reader does not open weblinks in document.

We have several PDF brohures for our marketing material and all of them have weblinks added to the documents.
When I click on these links in Adobe Reader, it does not respond and does not recognise it as a weblink. However, opening the same document in other reader programs, it opens the weblink immediately with no problems.
Could this be a flaw in the software or not? Most of my clients have Adobe Reader to view their PDF's and they complain that they can not open the weblinks.
Please assist with this issue.
Thank you
Saffa1113

Are these links (example: http://www.mysite.com) or are they hyperlinks?
If the links are spelled out, the could have "Create links from URLs" unchecked in Preferences>General>Basic tools.
If they are hyperlinks, how were they created? How was the PDF (and by what application) created?

Export to Word, Text does not appear in Word document

I have created a document in Pages which needs a table as part of it. I need to convert it to Word for work but when I use the Export to Word function it creates the Word Doc file but the table is blank - no text in the table at all? (Other text outside of the table is created).
Apart from that the formatting is not as it should be and some text (outside of the table) is incorrectly placed on the Doc file.
My fall back up to now has been to export to pdf (which works perfectly) and email that, but that stops it being edited at work.
Where should I be looking to make sure the text in the table in pages is exported to the Word document?
Or amn I expecting too much?
I am using a retina iMac, Yosemite OSX. Thanks.

Pages v5 (any version) is none of the following:
Word clone
Predictable
Professional/business grade software
Complete
Entirely debugged
Thoroughly documented
Many have, and continue to report export problems with Pages v5. Since we cannot peer over your shoulder as you enter text in a table, or if you tried to make the table behave as if in MS Word, the best bet would be to drop Pages entirely and use MS Word in Office for Mac 2011 (update 14.4.7 or later). Then you will be able to stop gambling with document conversion, work in the native Word .docx format, and recover some lost productivity. Word, not Apple's Pages, is the corporate word processing standard — for a reason.

When opening .doc from website link, FF appends .docx extention to file & does not open in Word 2010, with incorrect file format error. Pls Help

I'm using Firefox v12 to open a hyperlink from a website that points to a filename.doc MS Word Document for download.
We are then asked to open the file with MS Word (Default), which our installed version is MS Word 2010.
Firefox then renames the file appending a .docx to the filename e.g filename.doc.docx. MS Word 2010 opens with error 'incorrect file format', which is correct as Firefox has renamed it.
Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Hello Jscher2000,
I can save the file and it opens fine.
It's when I open it directly, Firefox appends the 'docx' extenstion to the filename.
If I continue to reopen from the web link, Firefox renames the file as so
mydoc.doc-1.docx
mydoc.doc-2.docx
mydoc.doc-3.docx
I can open a .doc from a Microsoft site ok.
I have the feeling it's the way the web server is reporting the mime type to Firefox.
The link in question works fine in Internet Explorer.
best regards,
Youngielinux.

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Labview executable does not open excel...

i just compiled labview code into an executable and when i run the executable, it does not open an excel document like it is supposed to. it opens the excel program, but not the specific file stipulated in the code. the problem only exists on one of my computers. the "problem computer" is being set up for the first time to run labview executables.
thanks in advance for the help.
Erik

That is probably the reason. Microsoft is notorious for the way they change their activeX components between office versions.
At the minimum, you need to install the LabVIEW runtime engine on the other PC. It needs to be the same version as the version of LabVIEW you developed in. You can either search the NI website and download and install the run-time engine, or you can create an installer for your application from the development PC that will include the run-time engine.
You may need some other run-time engines such as VISA or DAQmx if your application is using any of those functions.

Does the mail app display whatever is in the document without the ability to differentiate between hidden or non hidden images?
The mail app will not display fillable form fields in PDF files that can be seen in real PDF apps. I say real PDF apps because the form fields in PDF apps will not appear in the iBooks app either. IMO, iBooks is not a real PDF app.
So, I would say that the mail app cannot differentiate between hidden and non hidden items

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Word document does not open in Pages

It was my understanding that Pages is supposed to be able to open Microsoft Word documents. When my PC friends send me Word documents, they appear as "winmail.dat" in Mail and I cannot open them with either Pages or the Mac version of Microsoft Word. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution or fix?
Thanks,
Allan

Pages does open Word documents, but their suffix is always .doc. In other words, your friends are not sending you Word documents. You can try to convert these .dat documents into .doc, but I don't know what .dat is, so if it does not convert easily, you may need help from someone else. Try right-clicking on the document and choose Get Info to see if you can change the suffix or find out what program the document was made in.
It appears that these files are generated by Outlook, and the problem should be solved at the sender's end. Ask your friends to choose plain text or Word format for mail attachments, so they can be read by people who don't use Outlook to download their mail.
